Chapter Two:

The next day I woke to the sound of my alarm clock beeping and I automatically turned it off and stretched my arms and legs before getting out of bed to make it.

After I made my bed I grabbed my clean school uniform and some clean undergarments and walked out of my room to take a shower in the bathroom that was across from my room.

I was taking my sweet time in taking my shower since I had an hour and a half until I had to leave with Ichigo to go to Karakura High School and he had to ruin my peace and tranquility time with the water by pounding his fists on the door.

"Saya, come on! You're taking up all the hot water!" Ichigo yelled at me.

I then decided that I would teach Ichigo what happens when men interrupts a woman's bath time.

I then walked out of the shower without grabbing a towel to cover myself up and I walked toward the door and opened it.

The reaction I got from Ichigo was priceless. I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it and use it as blackmail.

Ichigo's face was a bright tomato red, his hands were covering his eyes, and blood was coming out of his nose.

"Holy shit! Put some clothes on!" Ichigo yelled at me.

"Let this be a lesson for you, Ichigo. Never interrupt a woman's bath time ever again. That time is sacred to her." I said to Ichigo.

"Okay, okay. I won't do it again. Just put some clothes on for Christ's sake!" Ichigo yelled at me.

"Okay. Give me five minutes." I said to Ichigo.

I then closed the door and changed into my school uniform after drying myself off with a towel and tying my long hair in a ponytail with a blue ribbon I found in a shelf drawer and then I opened the door again.

"There. Shower's all yours, Ichigo. Enjoy." I said to Ichigo smiling mischievously.

"You know, you can be really scary when you want to be." Ichigo said to me.

"Yep. See you downstairs for breakfast." I said to Ichigo grinning widely.

I then walked downstairs to the dining room and sat down next to Karin and started eating my breakfast while Yuzu was still cooking.

I then noticed that the TV was on in the living room and there was a news report about an explosion close to our house this morning. I knew that it was a work of a Hollow immediately.

Not too long after Ichigo walked in grabbing a piece of toast to eat.

"Hey." Ichigo said to us.

"Good morning, Ichigo." Yuzu said to Ichigo.

"Where's dad?" Ichigo asked us.

"Early meeting." I said to Ichigo.

"He said he'd be late tonight too." Karin said to Ichigo.

"Again, huh?" Ichigo asked us.

"Yep. Just means we'll have a peaceful dinner tonight." I said to them.

"Right." Ichigo said to us.

Ichigo then noticed the news report on the TV and stared at it.

"Something bad happen?" Yuzu asked Ichigo.

"That's near here." Ichigo said to us.

"Yeah, it is. I hope whoever did it doesn't plan on blowing up our house." I said to them.

"Saya!" Ichigo yelled at me.

"What? I'm just saying that its a possibility. We are a medical clinic. A prime target for these kind of people." I said to Ichigo.

"Enough out of you! You're scaring Yuzu!" Ichigo yelled at me pointing at Yuzu who was now crying.

I then ran over to Yuzu and hugged her protectively.

"Don't worry, Yuzu. I won't let anyone blow up our house. They'll have to kill me first." I said to Yuzu.

Yuzu then seemed to cheer up but Ichigo was shaking his head.

"All right. Time for us to go." Ichigo said to me.

Ichigo then grabbed the collar of my blazer to lift me off of the floor and started walking towards the front door.

"Ichigo, wait! My backpack!" I yelled at Ichigo.

"Quiet down. I got it." Ichigo said to me showing me that he had both of our backpacks in his hand.

"Okay, then. Carry on." I said to Ichigo.

"You actually like this, don't you?" Ichigo asked me.

"I've gotten use to this, yes." I said to Ichigo.

Ichigo then dropped me down onto the ground once we were outside the house and I landed on my butt very hard.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?!" I asked Ichigo rubbing my butt.

"You can walk to school today." Ichigo said to me.

"Meanie." I said to Ichigo.

I then stood up and Ichigo and I began to walk to our school after Ichigo gave me my backpack.

When we pasted the explosion site I could definitely tell that a Hollow was there not too long ago.

I then noticed that there were a few flowers in Ichigo's backpack.

"What's with the flowers?" I asked Ichigo.

"Oh, they're for a girl I helped yesterday. Some skateboarders knocked over her flowers and I promised her fresh ones today." Ichigo said to me.

"That's nice. I hope she finds peace soon." I said to Ichigo.

"Me, too." Ichigo said to me.

Ichigo and I continued walking until we reached an entrance to an alley where the girl haunts.

"I'm gonna go put these in the vase. You wanna go on a head and I'll catch up to you?" Ichigo asked me.

"No. I'd like to pay my respects to the girl. Maybe seeing another female will help her move on." I said to Ichigo.

Ichigo then smiled at me and we walked into the alley. Ichigo put the fresh flowers in the vase while I said a silent prayer for the girl. Ichigo then looked around for the girl but didn't see her around.

"Hello?" Ichigo asked the girl.

Ichigo and I then heard the cry of a Hollow and Ichigo ran to the source of it.

"Ichigo! Wait!" I yelled at Ichigo.

I then ran after Ichigo and when we got to the location of the Hollow's crying we saw that the girl was being chased by it.

"Wow. What the hell is that?" Ichigo asked out loud.

The girl then ran towards Ichigo and me and also bringing the Hollow with her.

"Help me!" The girl yelled at us.

"Run! Hurry!" Ichigo yelled at us.

Then all three of us started running for our live. Right now I wish I was never given order to not fight Hollows because if I could then I could kill this bastard so easily instead of running like a scared girl.

"What is that thing?" The girl asked us.

"I don't know." Ichigo said to the girl.

The girl then tripped on something and fell to the ground.

"Come on! We gotta move!" Ichigo yelled at the girl.

"Get up!" I yelled at the girl.

I then noticed a Hell Butterfly fly by and I knew that meant that a Soul Reaper was close by and would take care of the Hollow.

Then she appeared in front of the Hollow wearing the standard Soul Reaper uniform which was a white shitagi, a black kosode and hakama, a pair of white tabi, a pair of waraji, and a white obi around her waist. She then took out her zanpukto and with two strikes she killed the Hollow and disappeared.

A crowd started to gather around and they started saying that there was another explosion.

Ichigo and I continued our way to school and stayed there for the next six hours which was boring as hell.

After school I went to Kisuke's shop for my daily training while my Mod Soul Yuki took over my body and went home. When Yuki isn't in control of my body she lives inside a white stuffed rabbit with pink ears.

When I got to Kisuke's shop I was dressed in my own style of Soul Reaper clothes which was a black vest that zips up over my left breast, a pair of black pants, and a pair of black boots. As for my Kōri no jotei she is hidden safely in Kisuke's shop so that the Kurosaki's don't find her.

I was about to knock on the wooden sliding door to Kisuke's shop when he opened it for me and greeted my with a huge grin on his face.

One thing you should know about Kisuke is that the guy loves the color green. He's always wearing a green shirt that exposes his chest over a darker green coat that has an inverted Captain's haori design on the back, a green pair of pants, wooden sandals, and a green and white striped bucket hat which usually shadows his eyes.

"Ah, Saya. Right on time. How was your day? You seem tense." Kisuke said to me.

"There's another Hollow around here. I need to blow off some steam before I decide to go hunt it down and kill it." I said to Kisuke.

Kisuke's face then grew serious and put his hand on my right shoulder.

"Right. Come on in. I have something that'll keep your mind off of that Hollow." Kisuke said to me.

I then walked into the shop and then Kisuke and I walked down to the underground training area that is beneath the shop. Once in the training area I walked over to a dummy rock and pulled my Kōri no jotei out of it and then looked at Kisuke.

I then noticed that Tessai, a little girl with black pigtails named Ururu, and a red headed boy named Jinta were staring at us several feet away.

"Today's session is going to be really simple. We'll just be sparing. You can use Kōri no jotei if you want to." Kisuke said to me.

"Hmmm. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with Yoruichi's fighting style for today." I said to Kisuke stabbing Kōri no jotei into the ground.

"Oh, boy. I'm in trouble." Kisuke said to me.

"Yeah. You are." I said to Kisuke smiling.

I then flash stepped in front of Kisuke and kicked him in the stomach. The force of the kick sent him flying into a boulder that was several feet behind him and it crumbled into rubble beneath him.

I then flash stepped next to Kisuke and I grabbed his arm and leg and threw him over my shoulder which sent him flying in the air for a few feet before landing in the middle of a crater the force of his body caused.

I then was about to flash step over to Kisuke again but stopped when I sensed the presence of a Hollow outside my house.

Kisuke then stood up and looked at me with a worried expression on his face after dusting himself off.

"Saya, are you all right? What's wrong?" Kisuke asked me.

"That Hollow is outside my house. You can sense it too, can't you?" I asked Kisuke.

"Yeah. I've been keeping tabs on its movements this whole time." Kisuke said to me.

"Then you know I have to kill it before it kills my family." I said to Kisuke.

"I won't stop you. But take this with you to hide your identity." Kisuke said to me.

Kisuke then pulled out a black cat mask from his green shirt and threw it at me and I caught it and stared at it in awe.

"A gift from Yoruichi. We knew we couldn't keep you from fighting Hollows forever, so she got you this to conceal your identity." Kisuke said to me smiling.

"Thanks. I won't let you guys down. I'll kill this Hollow fast without anyone seeing me." I said to Kisuke.

"Good luck." Kisuke said to me.

I then put the black cat mask on and I wished that it could've covered my hair because that would've definitely help with the whole "conceal you're identity" thing.

I then pulled Kōri no jotei out of the ground and flash stepped out of the training area and then out of Kisuke's shop.

I then flash stepped as fast as I could to my house which was a few miles away from Kisuke's shop but I was too late.

The Soul Reaper from earlier this morning was sitting on the ground wearing a white kimono and bleeding. She had black hair that went to her shoulders and then spiked out and violet eyes.

I then saw Ichigo lying on the ground unconscious wearing a Souls Reaper's uniform and clutching a huge zanpukto in his hand and Karin lying unconscious a few feet away from him.

I then I noticed that the Hollow had been taken care of and Ichigo's Spiritual Pressure began to increase dramatically.

I then looked back and forth from Ichigo and the Soul Reaper who hadn't noticed me because she was still in shock at what had happened a few times before letting out a dramatic sigh which got her attention.

"Oh, my. You've made a big mess here, haven't you, Soul Reaper? Giving that boy your power is a crime." I said to the Soul Reaper.

"My name is Rukia Kuchiki, not Soul Reaper. Who are you?" Rukia asked me.

"Kuchiki, huh? One of the nobles broke a law? How interesting. Well, you can call me Kuro neko." I said to Rukia.

"Why are you here?" Rukia asked me.

"Same reason you are. But you had to go and make a mess before I could do my job." I said to Rukia.

"I'm sorry." Rukia said to me looking down at the ground in shame.

"Well, "sorry" doesn't cut it! You're going to help me clean this mess that you caused and then I'll take you to a man who can heal your wounds and get you into a gigai until your powers return." I said to Rukia.

Rukia then looked up at me in shock

"You're not going to report this to the Soul Society?" Rukia asked me in disbelief.

"Nah. Why would I do that? I have no ties to the Soul Society. Besides you're like me now. You broke a law and are now in hiding." I said to Rukia.

"That explains the mask. What law did you break?" Rukia asked me.

"Don't know. All I know is that I broke one somehow." I said to Rukia shrugging my shoulders.

"I see." Rukia said to me.

"Well, let's get this over with. You take the boy since he's your responsibility now and I'll take the girl. Anymore inside?" I asked Rukia even though I already knew about Isshin and Yuzu being inside.

"Another girl outside the boy's room and the father downstairs." Rukia said to me.

"All right. Here's the plan. We'll get them to their rooms and I'll heal their injuries and then you'll replace their memories except for the boy's." I said to Rukia.

"Right. Sounds good to me." Rukia said to me.

I then easily picked Karin up while Rukia was having difficulty picking up Ichigo due to her injuries.

"Hey! If you can heal injuries, then why not heal mine now?!" Rukia asked/yelled at me.

"Because I want you to be in pain for a little bit longer so you'll know to never do this to a human family again. Be grateful that I'll be taking you to a man who is willing to help hide you in this world." I said to Rukia darkly.

"Oh, right. Thank you for that." Rukia said to me quickly smiling.

I then walked into the house with Karin over my shoulder and walked upstairs. As soon as I got upstairs I saw Yuzu lying unconscious in the hallway and I picked her up and carried her over my other shoulder and continued walking towards their room.

When I got to their room I opened the door and laid them down on their own beds and began healing them. After I was done healing them I walked out of their room and got Rukia to go in and replace their memories.

After that both Rukia and I got Isshin to his room and I healed him while Rukia replaced his memories.

Rukia and I then walked out of the house.

"Okay. Now that that is over with we can go to my teacher's shop and heal your wounds and get you into a gigai." I said to Rukia.

"I really appreciate you doing this for me." Rukia said to me.

"No problem. Let's just get this over with. I want to get some sleep before school tomorrow." I said to Rukia.

"School?" Rukia asked me confused.

"Yeah. You know, keeping a low profile, acting human. That kind of thing." I said to Rukia.

"I see. I should try that too." Rukia said to me.

"It couldn't hurt." I said to Rukia.

Rukia and I then walked the rest of the way to Kisuke's shop in silence since she couldn't flash step and when we got there Tessai healed her wounds and after that Kisuke got her a gigai to get into.

While Tessai was healing Rukia I told Kisuke what had happened and he wasn't too thrilled since it meant that it was only a matter of time before the Soul Society comes looking for Rukia and find me. Did I mention that Kisuke is like an over-protective father towards me?

After that I said goodbye to Rukia and went home. When I got in my room I saw my body that Yuki was still in control of sitting on the floor and entered it and then coughed up a bright red pill that held Yuki's soul in it.

I then put the pill in the stuffed rabbit's mouth and it came alive. Yuki then walked over to me and sat down on my lap.

"Forgive me, Mistress, for I have failed you. I could do nothing to protect your family for I was too scared of the Hollow." Yuki said to me.

"Yuki, I never expected you to protect my family from Hollows. That is my job. It is yours to keep my body safe from harm which you did. So you did not fail me at all." I said to Yuki.

"You are far too kind, Mistress." Yuki said to me.

"Now, let's go to bed. Its been a very long day." I said to Yuki.

Yuki and I then laid down on my bed and fell asleep
