"Hello mister! Thank you for coming to see me everyday. I feel lonely sometimes, you know..."

Kurosaki Ichigo bent down and replaced the yellow flowers into the small vase. He got back up and smiled.

"Oh well, when I'm here, there's no reason of being lonely, don't you think? Hey, are you sure you don't want me to send you to the soul society? You'd be happier there, you know."

"Nah, I'll be fine here."

The little girl's soul smiled back at Ichigo and she waved as he walked away.

"Will you come tomorrow too, mister?"

"Yeah, sure I will. Goodnight!"

Ichigo walked in the dark towards his house. His hands deep into his pockets, he though about that soul girl and the promise he made her, that he would come back the day after. Maybe she will not be there anymore tomorrow, like the other souls disapeared after a while, eaten by the hollows or transformed into one of them, if not sent to the soul society in time.

He entered the kitchen, where a single light bulb lightened faintly the room. He went to turn it off when he saw the curtains of the living room window blow under the opened window. He frowned, closed it and went upstairs quietly. Everybody was sleeping. He entered the dark bedroom he occupied and opened the lights. Nobody.

"God, these visits to the souls gives me the creeps! I'm starting to be paranoid..."

He threw his bag on the bed and crashed into it, eyes closed. He reopened them again and then saw a red-haired man dressed in a kimono and with a katana at his hips holding on to the ceiling light!

"Renji Abarai! What the hell are you doing here? Get your ass down now!"

"Hey, IIIIchigo. Long time no seen. You should keep quiet, or you'll wake up your family!"

"Yeah, Orangey. Don't need to freak out!"

"Rangiku? Don't tell me you were hiding under the bed! And should I except Toshiro to jump from the window too, then? Argh..."

"Yes, substitute soul reaper, I'm here too. And it's HITSUGAYA-TAICHOU for you!"

"Hey, Ichigo. You should clean up a bit in here. It's a dump!"

"Great. Rukia, get out of my closet! Is there anymore in here or is that all?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's just us. Quit yelling like that, Ichigo! You'll wake up all Karakura town if you don't keep quiet."

Rukia jumped out of the closet and joined the others, who had gathered in the center of the room.

"What are you guys doing here, anyway?"

"There have been a signalisation of a very powerfull being. A Kitsune Youkai. We, along with you, the substitue soul reaper, are in charge of getting rid of it before it makes any damage." Hitsugaya-taihou announced, crouched on his heels.

"Kitsune? A fox? What the hell is this thing?"

"It's a soul who has achieved at escaping the Sereitei, which is practically impossible for a regular soul. For that being achieved, this pecular soul must be of great power. Once they've crossed the barrior between the Sereitei and the living, they take a special form, the fox, for example, who gives them great power, if they stay in their true form. Here, we are dealing with a Kitsune, but there may be other kinds of Youkai. My captain Hitsugaya and I along with all Gotei Thirteen have fought against them. We though we had extinguished the race and stopped the creation of new Youkais, but this one is the living example of our failiure in blocking the way to the human world."

"Ok, Rangiku, but what if the Kitsune doesn't stay in its fox form and change into another form?"

"They resemble just like... Regular human beings! Their reiatsu, their apperance, everything."

Silence in the room. Renji joined his hands and clapped them together.

"Bravo! Great speech, Rangiku. You gave the creeps to that poor lil' Ichigo."

"Will you shut up, red pineapple!"

"Hey! GUYS! Kurosaki, get your fist out of Lieutenant Abarai's mouth, NOW. Thanks. Now, if you'll please calm yourself down, geez. Rangiku did a nice resume of the threat we currently are dealing with. Kurosaki, I'm sorry, but we'll have to use your room as HQ."

"Whaa... Hey, I don't agree!"

"Rukia-san, please, place the communication with the Soul Society here. Renji, get back up and change into your shinigami form. Same for you two, Rangiku, Ichigo. We'll have to do some security tours around Karakura town. Search for the Kitsune."

"Hey, who named Toshiro the director of this stupid mission? I know much better Karakura, I think I should direct things."

"Yeah, sure, Orangey. My captain is much more competent at leading missions like this one. Isn't I right, Caaaaaaptain?"

"Rukia, you placed the communicator the wrong way! It goes the other way around..."

"Okay then, Renji I-know-it-all Abarai! Place it correctly, then!"

"Ah, damn, that's why I took control of the mission. They can't stand being left alone. I hope we catch this Youkai fast, I think I won't be able to stand them much longer..."


So yeah thats it!

Ciao!
