Chapter Three:
After the ceromony, Ichigo and Saiya headed upstairs as Rukia sat in his closet, unaware by Isshin or any other relative. Saiya was looking around when she spotted a stuffed lion. "Let me guess, Yuzu's stuffed lion?" Saiya asked laughing as she poked it's head.
"You know that really does hurt." The stuffed lion spoke.
Saiya froze, her finger pushed into the lions forehead as it spoke. Next thing Ichigo and Rukia knew was that Kon was on the ground and Saiya was stomping on it yell, "Demon be gone!" over and over as she finally grabbed the stuffed lion and opened the window and threw it out.
"No-Saiya! Don't-" Ichigo said but it was to late.
"Why?" She asked as she faced her cousin.
"He's not a demon. He's a mod-soul." Ichigo explained to her. "He has a pill inside of him that I can use to get myself out of my body and into the shinigami form."
"Oh..." She said looking over her shoulder at the stuffed lion trying to climb a tree. "Sorry..." She said turning back to Ichigo.
"Oh well." Ichigo said closing the window as he didn't see Kon up in the tree branch about to jump back inside. "I'll get him later." Kon hit the window, and slid down, unhappy with his situation.
There was a loud roar, and Rukia's cell phone beeped signaling that a hollow was near. "Is it me, or did that hollow sound extremely close?" Saiya asked Ichigo and Rukia.
"My radar says it's nowhere near us..." Rukia said, "It's over by your house... Renji's in the area over there, so he should take care of it."
"Okay..." Saiya said uncomfortablely. They sat and talked about many of different things before the hollows call seemed to grow louder. "Are you sure it's really over there?"
"Yeah. That's what it says." Rukia said showing her the phone. "Or else-" She stopped as as dark cloud appeared inside Ichigo's room.
"Look out!" Ichigo yelled grabbing Saiya and pulling her away from the hollow that appeared. He grabbed his shinigami representitive badge and knocked his shinigami self out and pulled out his zanpakuto and went to attack the hollow as Rukia grabbed Saiya and made a run for them to get out as she pulled Ichigo's body over to a safe spot- his closet. She popped out into her shinigami self as her gigai was told to watch Ichigo's body.
"Let's go outside." Rukia said as she opened the door and ran down the stairs, everyone else in the house was in bed, as Rukia and Saiya made their way to the foyer. Rukia was knocked back as she opened the door, her phone going off like crazy as reiatsu poured into the house. "No way..." She said grabbing Saiya's hand and pulling her outside. She pulled out her zanpakuto and cut her way through the hollows that came at her and Saiya.
"Why are there so many?!" Saiya asked Rukia as Ichigo was thrown through his window, breaking the glass, as the hollow shot out after him.
"I don't know!" She said back as she jumped back from slicing through a hollow.
Rukia jumped and attacked another hollow as another went to grab Saiya. Ichigo appeared and sliced through it. "Saiya! Go to Urahara's!"
"It's all the way accross town, Ichigo!" She yelled at him.
"Just go! We'll catch up in a little while." He told her. She nodded, hearing the seriousness in his voice. She turned and started her long run to Urahara's.
She could feel hollows appearing, and could feel them coming towards her. She ran faster, the moon's light the only form of light that gave her vision, the rest of it being distorted. She came to an abrupt stop as a hollow landed infront of her as she took a short cut through a park. She skidded and turned, about to run the other way when a hollow appeared there too. She looked to her left, hollow. To her right- hollow. More and more appeared around her, circling her so she could not escape.
"Howl! Zabimaru!" She heard as the hollows were taken out in one swipe. She felt someone grab her around the waist and pick her up under their arm like Ichigo had done back in Soul Society when they ran into eachother. "How did I figure it'd be you that I'd find here?" He said sounding rather annoyed.
"What's that suppose to mean!?" She shot at him as he jumped out of the park and into the opening.
"It means I expected you to be the reason why all these hollows suddenlly appeared!" He shot back at her.
"At least you're getting your job done, ne?" She said glaring at him.
"Yeah, more than I should!" He said, "And what's with the ne?!"
"Whatever!" She said turning away from him. "I need to get to Urahara-sans." She said starting to run down the street.
"Oi!" he yelled running after her. "It's not safe for you to be outside alone!" He yelled as he caught up with her. "It's dangerous."
"And why do you care?" She shot at him, "Or is it in the Shinigami manual to pretend to care?"
"You're making it so that I don't want to care, but I have too." He said, "Now, if you want to hurry up and get there, this is going to be a lot faster." He said picking her up and placing her on his shoulder.
"Oi! I'm in a skirt for my own sake." She pointed out to him.
"So?" He said as he started jump off towards Urahara's.
"I object to this use of picking me up!" She said as she tried to keep her skirt down with one hand while her other propped herself up on his back. "I object to any women being picked up this way at any time!"
"Shut up!" He said, "This is a lot faster, and will seem that way if you just shut up."
She let out a "Hmph." as she gave up arguing. He landed outside of Urahara's shop and let her down onto the ground, "Thank you." She glared as she entered the porch of the shop. "Oi- why is it locked?" She asked turning to Renji.
"I... don't know..." They saw a slip on the front door. "What's it say?" Saiya grabbed it off of the door.
"Soooo Sorry! But I'm closed for a couple of days! I'll be back later! Have fun and don't get killed!" She read as there was an Urahara face with a peace sign drawn on it. "Great!" Saiya said tossing the note on the ground. "He's gone and we don't have any help!"
"It's okay." Renji told her as she seemed frustrated.
"Why is Buddah doing this to me?!" She said messing up her hair as she fell to her knees.
"Buddah?" Renji asked her, "Are you Buddist?"
"No- but Oka-san didn't like disrespecting God..." She told him and he looked at her weirdly. "Ah- look out!" She yelled pulling Renji towards her as a arm of a hollow appeared from the darkness to grab Renji. Renji went and sliced at it with his Zabimaru, and turned back to Saiya.
"How did you know that it was going to appear?" He asked her, looking down at her five foot two inch body.
"I... I don't know..." She said looking up shocked with herself as well. "I just...knew."
"Well, it's not safe here." He said pulling out the phone that beeped maniacally as hollows began to swarm near them. He picked her up over his shoulder again and the protest began as he jumped off again.
"Where do you plan on taking me then?!" She yelled over to him as she kept her skirt down again.
"Some place where no one will get hurt if this battle continues." He told her as she spotted the school.
"Abarai-kun." He looked to see a young girl running onto the schools campus with two other guys.
"What?!" Renji said landing down near them.
"What's going on?" Ishida said pushing his glasses up, "There's numerous hollows pouring into Karakura town..."
"They're here because of my high and untamed reiatsu." Saiya explained to them. "But I don't know why they're suddenly coming now."
"Santen kesshun: I reject!" She said as she formed the shield to block a weak hollows cero towards the ground.
"Woah! What is that?!" Saiya said in amazement.
"It's part of Shun shun rikka- my hairpins are actually my powers." Orihime explained.
"That's so amazing!" Saiya said as she hugged Orihime.
"Koten zanshun: I reject!" She said as Tsubaki shot out and cut through the hollow, distroying it.
"Woah!" Saiya said, "That is soo cool, Orihime! I wish I could have a power like that!"
"Orihime- stay with Saiya..." Renji told her, "Ishida...Sado..." Chad and Ishida nodded and the three went to attack the hollows that appeared. The three went off to battle the hollows.
"Watataa..." Saiya said as she shook her hand out, "Why are their masks so freaking hard?!" She said as her knuckles turned red.
"Kita-kun, how did you do that?" Orihime asked as she glanced over to the hollow that was shrieking out in pain as it's mask slowly fell off and it disappeared.
"I... just punched it?" Saiya said confused as she sucked on her knuckles. Something caught her eye as she looked to the side. "I'll be right back, Orihime." Saiya said running off.
"Wah- Kita-kun!" Orihime said running after the girl who turned the corner and went into the gym room where they had been using the wooden swords today in class. "What are you doing?" Orihime asked as she watched Saiya swing one around.
"Perfect..." She grinned running back to Orihime. "I'm not going to stand around and watch them get all the fighting." She said as they went outside again. Renji was thrown where they had been standing. "Oi- are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" He said, "What do you plan on doing with a wooden sword, Saiya?"
"You'll see." She grinned. A hollow came at her and she focused her reiatsu into the wooden sword and swung it at the hollow, hitting it on the head and sending it flying as if she was playing baseball. The mask shattered and the hollow screeched back to hueco mundo.
"How'd you do that?!" Ishida said amazed.
"It's my reiatsu that I can focus." She told him. "Although a baseball bat would probably do better..."
Or if you let someone else take over... She heard a chilling voice say inside her head.
"What?!" Saiya looked around, chills sent down her spine. "Who said that?"
"No one said anything, Kita-kun..." Orihime told her as Kita's heart began to race.
