"Santen Kesshun! "

(Santen Kesshun - Three Sacred Links Shield (Orihime's defensive technique))

The shield formation released and protecting them from Arga's El Mal De Ojo spell but it didn't take a long time to hold its pressure. The shield start cracking got their attention and without waiting for further result, Chad grabbing both Ishida and Inoue hands and jumps over to the other side as soon the power exploding on the shield. A quarter of the unit is destroyed. Luckily there is no patients that occupying several rooms were harmed in the explosion but it does alarming the residents outside.

(El Mal De Ojo spell - an eye or glance capable of inflicting harm)

Arga: "You guys are so interesting! I never thought of fighting human before but you really did amaze me. The play is over, I'm so thrilled to kill the three of you now."

He pulling out his blade that flaunting an aura in crimson red colored under his cloak. He absorbing the spiritual particles that lingering around in the unit and it is generating a strong force to his blade. Arga gripping his blade in a firm stance looking at those three and preparing his blade to cast its spell.

Chad: "We need to escape from this enemy first. I'm thinking about using my destructive power to distract him but it will destroy this place. Let me know if you have any other plan. "

Ishida: "It's hard for me to draw out my Heilig Bogen. Seems, he got the advantage in overpowering us by absorbing the spiritual energy in our surrounding."

(Heilig Bogen - a sacred bow)

Inoue: "I can't use my Shunshun Rikka too. We don't have any other choice, Sado-kun. We will count on you."

(Shunshun Rikka - Orihime's spirit energy which harbored in the pair of six-petal flower-shaped hairpins that her brother gave her)

Ishida: "We don't have time either. Sorry dad, for the trouble we brought to this building."

Chad preparing himself to activates his superhuman power but before he could done it, Arga moving forward and appears in front of them in instant.

Ishida, Chad and Inoue minds: "Too fast!"

Arga: "Maleficio!"

He cast a spell on his blade and trying to swing it toward them but stopped right before he manage of doing so. He turning around and finds a Heilig Pfeil was shot on his right shoulder released from Ishida's father Quincy sacred bow. Arga breaks the arrow using his inner strength in spite of getting hurt and tormented by the nature of power relesead by the sacred arrow. He let out a deep sigh while pulling back his blade and put it into its sheath.

(Maleficio - To cast a spell on (specifically an evil spell))

(Heilig Pfeil - Holy Arrow)

Arga: "You got lucky human. Just for today. I'll leave for now but be prepare since the three of you are now included in my target list."

He sleekly moving into the shadow gone leaving no trace of spiritual energy. Chad and Inoue offer their gratitude to Ryuuken (Ishida's father) for saving them.

Ishida Ryuuken: "what are you doing Uryuu? Why you brought that dangerous man in here? If I didn't get here in time, the three of you could've get killed."

Ishida Uryuu: "I don't know that man! We were just doing a little investigation and encountered that enemy unexpectedly. By the way, you've been in this building for the whole time, how come you didn't aware of that uninvited guest of yours?"

Chad and Inoue: "..."

Ishida Ryuuken: "I only feel his strong reiatsu just now. I was too busy with my job, so why do I have to concern with a weak reiatsu that I'm not certain."

Ishida Uryuu: "Huh?! "

Ishida Ryuuken: "Don't 'huh' me.. I come here after I sensed a strong reiatsu and the commotion outside of this unit caused by your fight."

Chad: "That mysterious man called Arga, who exactly is he? It was a weak reiatsu when we first came in here and I'm certain his reiatsu was fluctuated the moment he appeared in front of us. It was the same when he draw out his blade and casting his spells on us."

Ishida Uryuu: "A man with a strange and strong reiatsu, lightning movement, equipped with unusually aura of blade, his look is just like normal person... Hmm"

Inoue: "Actually about that, I saw a different figure reflected on that mirror right before he stepped into the light. The figure was like a black entity with black cloak, his arms and legs are extremely thin corpse-like and his face is just empty black hole."

Unusual descriptions got their full attention to her every words since she was the only one who saw him and warned them about it before encounter continued in a fight.

Ishida Uryuu: "Are you serious Inoue-san?! But I suppose it is impossible for the thing you've described just now existing in here since all I can think of is a Grim Reaper. Are you positive that how he was looks like?"

Inoue: "I was surprised when he came out from the dark as a man, but I'm sure what I saw."

Chad: "That's means he was a Grim Reaper? Then why he was here?"

Ishida Uryuu: "It's impossible! Shinigami and Grim Reaper cannot be at the same place. If the thing that Inoue-san described was true then isn't it will cause a problem to Soul Society? "

While trying to comprehending the situation, they are stuck in the same question all over again.

Ishida Ryuuken: "That information maybe did gives us a hint of his identity. But let me tells you my certainness before you assume and concluding into something else. That man is not a Grim Reaper. Grim Reapers are almost like Shinigami but they do not fight the Hollow and they do not harm people. They only meddling in soul affairs but not human. I sensed a strong killing instinct when he releasing his power just now. I'm sure that man or whatever he is not from this world. I suppose now you can think logically this way."

Ishida Uryuu: "That's sound convincing but we still need to look for more information."

Ishida Ryuuken: "I'm not allowing the three of you to chase that thing further. Don't you understand, all of you could've get killed just now. He even putting you into his target list. You three must not involved into this matter anymore."

Ishida, Chad and Inoue can't argue to the pointed remarks as they admitting the circumstances they were get into and the consequences that awaiting them. Forced to stay in the hospital for a while to makes sure their safety, Ishida Ryuuken drives his way to send Chad and Inoue home after he finished his works for the day.

In a meanwhile, Kurosaki and the other Shinigami gathered in the living room of Urahara's place. Feeling tired and hurt at his back abdomen, Captain Hitsugaya is forced to take rest in a room.

Urahara: "It's been awhile since you guys come here. So why all of sudden you come and bring an injured Shinigami into my place?"

Renji: "Rukia and me were under attack during our investigation. Captain Hitsugaya and Matsumoto come to our aid and he was stabbed right after we saved by Matsumoto."

Rangiku: "No need to blame yourselves. Captain did it because he has to do it. So don't worry too much."

Kurosaki: "What exactly was happened? "

Rukia: "We're attacked by a woman suited with a huge scythe in her grasp. She moved fast like a lightning and unleashing an unpleasant vibe that delivered a chill into your body. She call herself as Laya the reaper."

Ikkaku: "Reaper?! You mean she is a Grim Reaper?!"

Renji: "That's what she told us. Her scythe is totally like the one a reaper use in soul ritual deliverance only smaller than this reaper."

Yumichika: "But that's impossible! Grim Reapers shouldn't be here. I mean why did they come here and attack the Shinigami?"

Kurosaki: "Sorry, I'm couldn't understand a bit of what you guys are saying. What's wrong with the clashing between Shinigami and Grim Reapers? "

Rangiku: "Soul reapers have distintive nature and duty. Unlike Shinigami, Grim Reapers only meddling with soul affairs. They bring no harm to human, no fighting with Hollows and their reiatsu are weaker than us. Furthermore, Shinigami and Grim Reapers have their own territories to cover which means we cannot be at a same place."

Ikkaku: "By the way Ichigo, what happened to your arm?"

Kurosaki: "Hmm.. To tell you the truth I was attacked too by a mysterious man at somewhere at this town. I couldn't takes a glimpse of his face but I could feel his strong reiatsu when he appeared and gave a punch to my body. I blocked it using this arm. I feel relieved as it's not that hurt at all, it just feels like-"

Captain Hitsugaya: "A bad vibe chilling into your bone..seems this is what you mean to say, right."

After rested for a while, Captain Hitsugaya joining them in the living room. Things are getting complicated after several pieces were found but left the connection of events happened inscrutable. Urahara sighing deeply.

Urahara: "Hmm..what exactly will coming to us or is happening right now? Hahhh.."
