A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for not updating for a long time! Here's the new chapter! Oh and the story at some point may follow the story, but at some point it may not.
Ichigo looked at the girl in front of him. He narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you?" He asked. He felt familiar with the person in front of him. It was like he knew her, but the girl right in front of him is a stranger. Could it be someone he knew? Could it be his sister? All these thoughts were running around his head
Ave gave him a straight face and started to walk away. Ichigo felt his eye twitched. He ran up to her and caught her wrist.
"I asked you a question, meaning that I need an answer!" He snapped. She gave him a straight face. He saw something shining around her chest area. It was necklace, a lock, with a key opening that matches his key. He stared at it ans stared at it and stared longer. He knew she said something, but he heard was one word.
"...Ave"
She lashed her wrist out of his hand and walked away.
"Wait!" He shouted. She stopped.
"You're Ave, my...dead..sister." He said fading the last part. Ave widen her eyes a little, but still kept a straight face. She turned around as if she never heard what he said and flash stepped away. Ichigo stood there, dumbfounded.
'Was that really Ave?' He thought.
"Ichigo!" He turned around and found the gang. Orihime walked up to him.
"Are you OK? She asked, worried. He nodded his head.
"Are you sure?" Chad asked. He rolled his eyes and nodded his head.
"Alright, then let's go find Rukia." Uruyu said.
Ave popped up where Rukia was and told the guard that he was dismiss. She opened the door and went inside to see Rukia sitting down like a beat up doll. She turned and saw Ave. She smiled.
"Ave, come sit here." She said patting next to her. Ave walked over and sat down. Silence enveloped the place for a while.
"Rukia." Ave said. "I met Ichigo today."
"Really?" She asked shocked. "What happened?" Ave sighed.
"Rukia there's something that I need to tell you." She said. Rukia leaned in.
"I knew Ichigo before." She said. Rukia was taken back.
"What? How? Where?" She said panicking. Ave calmed her down and she did giving Ave permission to continue.
"Ichigo is actually my twin brother." Ave said. Rukia looked half surprise at her answer.
"No wonder..." Rukia said.
"So you're a Soul Reaper?" Ichigo asked. Rukia nodded. As she looked at the orange haired boy, she noticed that he looks like someone she is familiarized with.
'Could he be...?' She thought. She turned to him.
"Do you have a sibling or something? Like a twin?" Rukia asked. Ichigo's face turned blank. His eyes looked like her reminiscing something from the past.
"Yea I DID..." He said.
"Did? As in she's gone?" Rukia asked. He nodded and she dropped the subject.
"What do you mean?" Ave asked.
"I asked him if he had a twin and he said yes." She said. Then she turned to Ave.
"Ave go find him. I know you're against helping him, but please, I know he will need help." Rukia begged. Ave smiled at her.
"Rukia, whatever is right, I will follow, even if it means going against the Soul Society." She said.
"Does he know that you're his brother?" She asked. Ave nodded.
"He's probably in shock right now and it's unbelievable that he just saw his dead sister." Ave said.
"Go." She said. Ave nodded and walked out of the tower. She felt a big amount of reitsu being unleashed.
'Ichigo, calm down. I'll be there.' She thought.
"That's what I'm talking about boy! Come one! Let it all out!" Kenpachi yelled. He loved a good fight and Ichigo was the right guy. He jumped and attacked Ichigo. Then Ave swooped in front of him, before he could even touch Ichigo. He smirked when he saw Ave, but suddenly scowled for ruining his fight. Then the gang ran out of nowhere.
"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled. Ichigo looked behind him.
"Orihime! Are you OK?" He asked. She nodded smiling. He looked behind her.
"Uruya! Chad! Nice to see you guys in one piece!" He joked. Uruyu glared at the orange haired teen.
"Ichigo, I don't think you understand your situation right now." He clarified. Ichigo understood and looked at the scene that was happening right in front of him.
"Is there any reason that you had to ruin my fight?" Kenpachi asked gritting his teeth.
"Captain Yamamoto wants you near gate if anymore intruders came." She said. He narrowed his eyes at her and stood up.
"Alright." He said walking away with the little pink haired vice captain following him. Ichigo was confused. Anger fueled him.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" He yelled. Ave turned around and gave him a blank face.
"I could've-" He started.
"You wouldn't even stand a chance against him. You would've been crushed, 5 minuted in the match." She said. He shut his mouth and stood there quiet.
"Why are you here? Did that Yamamoto guy or whatever sent you here?" He asked. She shook her head.
"It was a lie that Captain Yamamoto wanted him. At least say thank you that I saved you." Ave said slightly smiling. Ichigo smiled back.
"Thank you." He replied.
"What are you anyway?" Uruyu asked.
"Excuse me?" She said.
"I mean you're a soul reaper, but you don't have the outfit of one." He said.
"Oh. Well I am a soul reaper, but I am not in one of the divisions or a member of the Gotei 13. My part of the Soul Society is confidential." She explained.
"What is your position?" Ichigo asked.
"Let's just say, I'm one of the most powerful person you will ever met." Ave stated. They all were taken back.
"Just how powerful?" Uruyu asked.
"Maybe you'll find out in the near future."
The group fell in silence. No one knew what to say. Ichigo kept staring at the necklace around her neck.
"Um, where did you get that necklace?" He asked. Ave almost paled. She knew that he was kind of on to her.
"A special friend gave it to me." She replied. Ave really didn't want Ichigo finding out that his sister was alive. That would bring up misunderstandings and disasters.
"Was it a bo-"
"You know, if you guys want to survive then you should get out of here." She suggested.
"We know, but which is the safest way that no one would bother to look in?" Ichigo asked.
"Underground, where the sewers are located. Come on, I'll show you." Ave said.
"Uh! It stinks here!" Orihime complained pinching her nose. It was dark, but they had a torch with them.
"Now becareful, I am only warning once. This is not a regular sewer. You will get lost and separated from me, so focus and do not let your guard down." Ave said. Ignoring her warnings, 10 minutes into the walk, Orihime, Chad and Uruyu got separated from Ichigo and Ave.
"We got separated from them!" Ichigo pointed out.
"Well, they ignored my warnings, so it's their fault." Ave said. Ichigo knew she was right and decided to shut his mouth. He noticed something at the nape of her neck as he was walking right behind her. It was a birthmark. In the shape of distorted crescent moon. He knew that everyone has different birthmarks and the only one who he knows has a birthmark like that was Ave.
"Ave." He said and she stopped in reflex because her name was called. He knew this was her sister. He just knows that it's her. It was like a twin telepathy thing.
"I know it's you." He said seriously. Ave was panicking on the inside, but at the outside she was keeping a cool composure.
"Let's the end of this, we'll meet the rest of your friends." She said and started to walk ahead.
"Ave! Stop running away! You were always like this!" He said grabbing her arm.
"So what if I'm like this! This is just who I am Ichigo!" She snapped at him. She couldn't hold it in anymore. She jumped on him and gave his a hug. He wrapped his arms around her. Tears cascade down Ichigo's face.
"Aww Ichigo, you were always the crybaby out of the to of us." She teased.
"Speal for yourself, you were so sensitive, that you were always cry over the most meaningless things." She argued back. They both looked at each other and laughed.
"Ave when all of this is over, come back with me to the human world." Ichigo said.
"I can't, Ichigo. I have a job to do here." She said. Ichigo's expression fell, but he put out a slight smile.
"Ave, I want to ask you something." Ichigo said. She nodded.
"How are you a soul reaper?" He asked his first question.
"That I can't tell you, YET." She said. He scowled.
"How did you become a captain?" He asked.
"Well...I didn't have to go to the Soul Reaper Academy since I am a natural of being a soul reaper. I switched from division to division until Captain Yamamoto asked me to become the captain of the Royal Guards." She answered.
"How long have you know Rukia?" He asked.
"Well I met Rukia when I met Byakuya. I was walking around when I ran into Byakuya and there was Rukia right next to him." Ave responded.
"Will you support her through anything?" He asked. Ave thought about this.
"If I am faced with 2 or more decisions, I will pick the most reasonable, I will not pick just because my friend or best is in that group." Ave said.
"So, who-" He started, but was interrupted.
"Ichigo you said you were only going to ask a question, I feel like we're playing 20 questions!" Ave said.
"But I'm so curios about my sister who I haven't seen in a long time." He whined. She rolled her eyes.
"Let's go meet the gang at the end." Ave said walking first. Ichigo smiled and caught up next to her. He was happy to have seen his sister again.
