Chapter 2…

A Walk Home and New Orders

Walking in silence for a bit, Ichigo and Orihime had started back towards her house. Orihime was staring down at the ground, every now and than glancing back over towards Ichigo. She noted how he looked like he was thinking pretty hard about something, but he wasn't too sure about that. Looking back down at the ground, Orihime tried to think of something to say. Raising one hand and pushing a few strands of her waist long burnt orange hair behind her ear. The silence only carried for a little while as she finally decided to ask what was on the other's mind.

"Ichigo, is something on your mind, I mean…you really look like your thinking hard about something." She stated as she lifted her head and glanced over towards Ichigo now.

Ichigo who had been thinking, snapped out of his thoughts and glanced over towards Orihime, "Um…no, nothing really. Just thinking about what you said earlier, that's all. You know, about not seeing the kid." He stated.

"Oh, still thinking about that?"

"Yeah, there was definitely someone standing there by the water and yet…you say you didn't see him?" He asked curiously.

"No, but than again I wasn't paying attention, I could have just missed them." Orihime just laughed slightly as she than looked infront of her. "But don't worry about it too much Ichigo; you'll just give yourself a really bad headache." She nodded and smiled as they rounded a corner leading down the street to Orihime's apartment.

The silence came once more as both of them had no idea as to what to say once again. It seemed that both of their minds now were stuck on this kid that Ichigo had seen. Why Ichigo was so interested in the kid was beyond her. If it was just any other person than why be so hung up on them, maybe there was something more and that was the reason for him thinking about it so hard. She had so many questions now she didn't know how to ask them. Oh well, Orihime would find out sooner or later, she always did even if that meant her getting kidnapped in the process, though that was something she never wanted to happen again. Considering the fact that happened a lot about four or five months ago, it's just not something she wanted to go through with again.

With that last thought crossing her mind, Orihime and Ichigo had made it to her house. The two standing outside the apartment for a moment just letting this awkward silence disperse between them.

"So, would you like to come inside? I could make you something to eat or drink." Orihime offered as she turned and started for the door.

Ichigo just shook his head, "No, that's alright. I'm just gonna go walk for a bit. I just need to clear my mind for a moment." He smiled and than waved, watching her go into the house giving one last question with and 'if your sure.' Ichigo only nodded before turning once the door was closed and starting back on the walk that he needed right now. He really needed to clear his head, and right now, that thought about the kid just wasn't settling him. He was getting the feeling something bad was going to happen, something that was going to forever change the world as he and everyone else knew it.

-Meanwhile, back at the river-

Back at the river, the blonde stood there looking up towards the sky for just a few seconds longer. He sighed and than turned, walking up the few steps and onto the road. He needed to contact Captain Commander Yamamoto; this was going to be a rather serious issue if he and his partner didn't get some extra help here. The teenager turned and started down the road to the small house that he and his partner had been sharing, he wondered if they were even there at the moment. Shrugging that off though, it would be easier just to state what was going on to Captain Commander Yamamoto first and foremost even if his partner wasn't there.

He quickened his pace, the tennis shoes he was wearing barely making any sounds as they touched the ground. He was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts, which only came to about mid-thigh, and a long sleeved white button up shirt which only had the center four buttons buttoned leaving the bottom two and top two unbuttoned. He just felt more comfortable that way.

He ran all the way back only stopping long enough to pull out the key's to his little apartment and stopped right infront of the door. He slid the silver key into its lock and turned it, hearing the unlocking click of it he opened the door. Stepping inside, it was fairly simple, there was the table that sat in the living room and was surrounded by a couch and two recliners. Than there was the kitchen and food packed into the cupboards, there was a small hallway that lead to the bedrooms and than a bathroom that him and his partner had to share, and than there was a little closet right next to the door for coats, but who needed coats in the spring time?

He slid off his shoes and stepped inside the rest of the way closing the door and walking towards the bedroom that belonged to his partner. Opening the door he walked inside and glanced around before he went over to what looked like a television screen, well, it looked like a downsized version of what was placed in Orihime's apartment by Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Matsumoto. He had only heard briefly about that incident, so he didn't ask too many questions knowing when it wasn't his place to do so.

He turned on the television looking object and than waited as the image of the Captain Commander popped up.

"Captain Commander, this is Kazuhiko Itsumaro calling from the Human world to report." He gave a slight salute before he lowered his hand and stood there staring at the image of the captain commander.

"Report Itsumaro." Captain Commander said as he nodded the go ahead.

Nodding himself Kazuhiko continued. "Sir, it's starting. Just like it was foretold, today I stood watching the first piece fall and just disintegrate. I think we really need to look into this more and find out exactly who the ones behind this are before it gets too out of hand." He paused and waited for a moment before glancing around and than looking back towards the screen once more. "If I can, when the time comes I will want to request back-up, but until than I think we shall be fine." Kazuhiko stated as he let out a sigh. "Other than that there is nothing more to report." He stated.

The Captain Commander stared at his own screen which housed Kazuhiko's appearance and he listened to the details of the report. Nodding slightly at it he let out a sigh.

"If it's the first piece falling, just continue to look into it. Report back to me if you find anything else out or if there are any changes within the human world, as for the extra help, I can offer you to meet with a group of people there within the human world, but that's about all I can offer as of now." He stated, "I will send you all the information you will need about the group tonight." He said as he than said, "If that is all than you are dismissed."

Kazuhiko nodded and said, "Yes sir, I'll be awaiting the information." He watched as the screen went black, but his gaze drifted towards the shadows of the room. He stared at a corner in the room, watching it slightly and rather intently. He was pretty sure that someone was there, but he wasn't sure. Kazu went to say something but stopped as he heard the door open and someone's annoying voice coming from it.

"Kazu…You home!" yelled the person.

Kazuhiko turned his gaze towards the bedroom door and than looked back towards where he was sure the figure had been not too long ago. Now all that remained was emptiness, so Kazu sighed and than said, "Hai!" He turned and walked out of the room and back into the hallway, closing the door behind him. The person yelling was none other than Kazuhiko's partner in the Human world, Sanryu Kano. Apparently just getting home from doing god knows what.

As the door shut, lighting up the cornered area was a little flame; crimson eyes followed Kazuhiko out the door and just stared blankly as it was closed.

"So they plan on stopping us…that just won't do," Thought the person sitting there in the corner. With that, the figure stood and walked over to the window opening it, jumping out and than taking off through the town.

AngelicFox12: *gasp* who is this new figure that has shown up? What's their plan? *shrugs* I'm just writing this as it comes, so even I don't know at the moment.

Kazuhiko: …

AngelicFox12: …

Sanryu: You guys are being awfully quiet.

AngelicFox12: *Stares intently at Kazu*

Kazuhiko: *Stares intently at AngelicFox12*

Sanryu: *Sweat drops* Anyways, on behalf of AngelicFox12, thank you for the reviews and I hope you enjoy the latest chapter. More to come in the future, as for right now, sore dewa (good-bye)

Ichigo: Oh, don't forget to review. ^^
