Shinjita iin desu ka: Is it okay to believe?

Chapter Two: Something approaches

"That must have been fun..." Ichigo said, rolling his eyes. Then all of a sudden, Yohime's phone started to go off. "A hollow?"

Yohime looked at her phone with a look that seemed to show she didn't want to answer it. "Yes?" She said answering it.

"Yoh-chan! Yoh-chan!" The 11th squad vice captins voice came through the phone, loud enough for them to all hear.

"Do you need something, Vice Captin, Yachiru?" Yohime asked into the phone.

"I was bored, and Ken-chan is asleep right now!" Yachiru said, and Yohime could tell that she was honestly bored. "Where are you right now?"

"I'm in the real world for a bit, remember?" Yohime said, a bit annoyed.

"Oh! I bet you're really bored, hmmm?!" She said cheerfully. "Maybe I should come and see you!"

"No, it's fine. I'm here with Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki." Yohime said, trying to get an escuse.

"Awww...Yoh-chan doesn't want to see me?!" She said, sounding hurt.

"How about I get you a souvineer, Vice Captin Yachiru!" Yohime said, trying to cheer her up now.

"Okay! Yoh-chan will get me something!" She said, "Well, I got to go! Bye bye, Yoh-chan!"

"Strange one, she is..." Yohime said closing her phone and putting it back in her bag.

The bell soon rang and everyone headed back to class. On their way back, Rukia's and Yohime's phones both vibrated. "Yohime..." Rukia said and Yohime nodded. "Ichigo!" She turned to Ichigo. "Switch with Kon, and go with Yohime." Ichigo nodded, pulling Kon out of his bag.

"Nee-san!" Kon said stretching out to Rukia. "Eh? Who is this new person that is here?"

"Kon, open up!" Ichigo said, grinning.

"Marikuri, take my spot for a while." Yohime said popping her own pill into her, sending her shinigami form out.

"Yush, Yohime-san!" Yohime's body said. "Take good care and defeat the hollows."

"Thanks." Yohime said winking with a smile as her and Ichigo left the school.

"So, you and your Mod soul are friends?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah, Urahara made her for me so Soul society wouldn't really know. You know what I mean?" Yohime said looking at her phone as they ran, "This way, Ichigo."

"Right." Ichigo said as he followed.

"Kaminoke, Tenrousei!" Yohime yelled pulling out her zanpakuto, which took form of a bladed gun.

"What the hell?" Ichigo said looking at Tenrousei. "Is that a gun or a sword?"

"It's both." Yohime said as she put it on her shoulder and took aim at the hollow. She shot at it, and she slid back at the impact of the blast that came out of the barrel of her zanpakuto. "Ichigo, now!"

"Right!" he said jumping up as the hollow faced them. "ARHHHHHHHHHH!" He sliced through it with a swift clean cut.

"Good jump, Ichigo! You're better than what I though when your by yourself." Yohime said placing Tenrousei back in it's case. "Let's head back to school."

"Yeah..." He scowled.

As they headed back, it felt like everything was slowing down, and emptying out. The streets were become empty, the sound seemed to be slipping away.

"Ichigo..." Yohime said glancing at him.

"Yeah, I feel it too..." Ichigo said as both looked around, hand on the hilt of their zanpakutos.

"I don't like this feelling so much..." Yohime said glancing around more and more. "We should hurry back to the school...I got a bad feelling if we stay here to long..."

"Let's go then." Ichigo said as the two headed back towards school.

"They know we are here now, don't they, Sui-san?" A young boys voice came from darkness.

"We will soon reveal more later, as for now, let's just play for a bit." A young woman's voice echoed as the cheer from the boy came.

"The others will be here soon, Sui-san..." A deep voice said appearing from the darkness too.

"That is all good, that is all good." Sui said, her smile showing for a second.

"Yohime, are you all right?" Ichigo asked as Yohime bent onto one knee while they ran. Her hands were on the ground and her eyes wide.

She didn't speak for a second, before standing up, and brushing her knee off. "I'm fine..." She said looking behind her before taking off again. What was that? What is this feelling I'm getting? I'll let Urahara know about this...he might know... Yohime thought as they entered the school grounds.

Ichigo didn't say anything more to Yohime after the small fragment of his life in knowing her, that she scared him with only two words. And those two words, meat to Ichigo, that she was in no condition to be spoken too. Something was happening to Yohime, and Ichigo didn't know what to do about it. He wasn't one to calm people, or really help them much.

"Rukia..." He said as they walked home. "I think something happened to Yohime after we defeated the hollow."

"Why do you say that, Ichigo?" Rukia said looking serious.

"She stopped and fell onto one knee, and she snapped. I'm not sure if she normally does that or not." Ichigo said as Rukia paused in her walk and looked at him. "Rukia...?"

"It's nothing...Don't worry about it Ichigo..." Rukia said, "It's something she deals with by herself."

"Okay..." Ichigo said as Rukia went off to go through his window as he entered through the front door.

"Ah, Yohime-san, you're home!" Ururu said walking over to Yohime. "Dinner will be ready soon I believe."

"Okay..." Yohime said, throwing her bag into her room and changing into some other clothes. She wore black jogging pants that had a forest green stipe on each side with a green tank top. She grabbed her phone, and the case that had Marikuri in it along with a CD player that Urahara let her barrow. She walked back to the front of the shop and slipped her shoes on. "I'm going out for a run. I'll be back later." She called before leaving.

What was that feelling? It can't be like before from my childhood. I would hope not... Why would they come here? Are they truely still after me? Even after all this time? So many thoughts ran through Yohime's mind as she ran down the street with her headphones on. Just leave, this feelling is such a pain!

"Hey, isn't that the new transfer student?" Inoue asked as her and her group walked down the street.

"Yeah, what was her name again?" one asked.

"Yohime, I believe." Tatsuki said, thinking about it. "Yeah, Yohime Kaminoke."

"Strange that her last name is thunder...don't you think?" Another one asked.

"It's unique." Inoue said.

Name: Marikuri

Age: (do Mod Souls have ages?)

Background: Urahara created Marikuri for Yohime, because she didn't want to have to get one from soul society, and she begged Urahara to make them. She's very knowlegable and talented. Yohime gave Marikuri her name, which was her best friend that ran around with her when she was growing up, but had then past away at an early age. Marikuri loves her name, and became good friends with Yohime quickly. Yohime treats Marikuri like it was the original, because they were so close, and Marikuri acts like the young Marikuri that Yohime once knew.

There's Marikuri the Mod soul's background. I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, I promise it will get more interesting in a few more chapters. Well, please stay tuned with me! hehe, Reviews are very loved!
Notes:

-Yachiru's phone call: Yohime and Yachiru met years before when Yohime was running around a lot. She met Zaraki and her at the same time, and became friends with Yachiru. Zaraki still scares her at times, especially when he jokes around with her. So, that's why Yachiru called Yohime, because of their long friendship.

-Marikuri: Marikuri is Yohime's Mod soul that she uses when she has a gigai. When she's at home or relaxing, she will put Marikuri in a stuffed animal so she can stretch and have conversations with Yohime.

-Tenrousei's appearance: Sirius's appearance is of a single barrel gun that is also a sword. When Yohime's wishes she can seperate Sirius into two smaller guns/swords, or have one gun, one sword. It's just something she had discovered just recently before reaching Ban Kai.

Shinigami Extra!

With Yachiru-

"Ken-chan is all asleep and Yoh-chan is busy...who can I call and have fun with?" She pondered sitting in a chair. "Ah! What about cueball?!" She thought as she pulled out her phone. There was a loud buzzing noise from somewhere, it soon then stopped. "Baldy!" She said as he answered.

"Shh, Vice captin Yachiru! Captin Zaraki is sleeping." Ikkaku said appearing behind Yachiru, "You don't want to want up a sleepping Captin..."

"Baldy! When did you get here?!" Yachiru said looking at him.

(Was here the whole time in back of large mounds of paperword.)

"ARH! What is with that blinding light?!" Zaraki said growling as he turned over. "Ikkaku!"

"Eh?!" Ikkaku said, as Yachiru laughed.

"Baldy is reflecting into Ken-chan's eyes. Baldy woke up Ken-chan!" Yachiru said.

"IKKAKU!" Zaraki bellowed.

"Vice Captin Yachiru! Please, help!" Ikkaku said running away from Zaraki around the room.

"Yay! Ken-chan is having fun!" She giggled.

END!
