Kai slept under the tree that night thinking about everything he had said with Fantomu. His eyes blinked open then he looked around startled. It was still dark outside. He jumped to his feet grabbing his zanpactou.

"Relax"

Kai turned to see Kite and Karrin walking towards him.

"You let me sleep through the entire day!" Kai exclaimed.

"Like we said we tried waking you up but you didn't budge." Kite explained.

"Yeah but still" he muttered.

"Well you're awake now so you can help us" Karin said.

They all flinched looking at the town as a hollow's howl filled the night sky.

"There's your queue" Kite said running in the direction of the sound. Karin and Kai followed after him.

They arrived near a village. There were two hollows chasing after a two little girls. Kite drew his two short sword and Kai and Karin drew their sword. Kite jumped flipping landing behind a hollow. He dashed forward cutting it in an X shape. Kai dodged the hollows claws and ducked as Karin leaped off his back cutting the hollow's mask in half.

They turned to the girls and gasped. A gate had opened behind them both. It was red and the wind picked p around them all. They were all being sucked in. Kite and Karin stabbed their swords into the ground to stop them from going in. The girls were trying to run away. One of them slipped and fell into the void. The other was crying trying to crawl away. Kai dashed to her picking her up and jumping away with all his strength. The wind suddenly stopped and he landed lightly seeing the door sink back into the ground.

Karin and Kite ran over to him their swords sheathed. The girl was clinging to Kai's neck crying softly. Kai patted her back softly whispering soothing words. She had long silvery hair. She was wearing tattered white clothing. Her eyes were a sky blue and her skin color was pale.

"What was that thing?" Kite said.

"The reason the souls have been disappearing" Kai said grimly.

Karin knelt next to the Kai and the girl.

"Everything's alright now. You don't have to worry anymore." Karin said.

She tried to perform Konso but nothing happened. She was about to try again but Kai shook his head.

"I think she can help us"he said.

"Is it gone?" she asked quietly.

Kai nodded and she let go of his neck but held onto his hand.

"I'm Eva" she said. "The bad men said they wouldn't do that"

"Who are the bad men?" Kai asked.

"Bad guys!" she replied. "Meanies!"

"Can you be more specific?" Karin asked.

"What did they look like?" Kai asked softly.

"Umm… one was dressed in all white. He had a weird mask on his face that hung from his neck. The other two looked like big lions" she told them.

"Arrancars" Kite mouthed.

Kai nodded then focused back on Eva.

"What are your names?" she asked. She had recovered by now but still held on to Kai's hand.

"Our names? Well I'm Kai."

"I'm Kite"

"And I'm Karin"

"Kai…Karin…Kite" she repeated softly.

"We should head back Kai" Karin said.

"Yeah. Urahara-san might now something." Kite said.

Kai nodded and was about to walk with them but his arm tugged back. He looked down to see Eva holding his hand.

"Don't go onii-san" she said.

Kai was put off by the older brother comment but ignored it.

"I have to" he said softly.

"Why don't we bring her with us?" Kite said.

"Really" Kai said surprised.

"Sure. Urahara-san would take care of her while we're gone"

"Okay. Would you like to come with us?" Kai asked.

She nodded and he smiled at her.

"Are you crazy?" Karin whispered to him. "We can't have a soul with us."

"Yeah but I'm pretty sure she can help us. Besides we can't send her to the soul society. So she's our response ability now" Kai told her.

"You never did think before you did things." She said shaking her head.

Kai flashed her a grin following after Kite.
