I'm sorry that it's been 8 days since I've last updated. When I started this story, it was on fall break, and now that school's started I don't have the time to update as often. So now, I'm trying to update every weekend if I can, chapters will be at least 1,500 words length wise(not counting the author notes). I only have two reviews, and I would love to have more than only two for every 3 chapters I write. If I get a good amount, I'll update faster, promise:)
"I know it's not your strong point, but try to sense the reistu coming from the house." Ichigo hesitated for a moment, but did as he was told. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe, trying to concentrate. He could feel his senses traveling to the house, and slowly he began to feel the reistu of a lost soul...but it wasn't quite a lost soul...he didn't know what it was.
"What's that spiritual pressure?" Yoruichi shrugged as she walked over to the door.
"I don't know, but it might have to do with the strange shinigami reports that the Head-Captain talked about..." Ichigo joined her in front of the door. They looked at each other then nodded, deciding nonverbally that they were going to enter the house. Ichigo took a deep breath as he grabbed the door knob, then threw the door open. He quickly ran inside, with Yoruichi behind.
"Who's in here?! If you're a lost soul, then come here, I promise I won't hurt you. If you're a hollow, then I wouldn't want to be you right now." Ichigo shouted in English, since whatever was in there would more than likely speak the language. He looked around and saw no one, but he could feel some one watching him...
~Danny, Sam, and Tucker~
"I see, well be careful, whatever you decide to do, and I'll see you tomorrow." Ichigo waved to them as he headed towards his car. He got in the car and pulled out of the parking lot, driving off. Danny walked behind Sam and Tucker.
"Cover me guys, going ghost!" Danny Fenten transformed into Danny Phantom. His black hair turned white, his blue eyes turned green, and his outfit changed to a black suit with silver decals. He floated back around to talk to his friends face to face.
"Why'd you go ghost Danny? Are there any ghosts around?" Danny shook his head.
"No Tucker, think about it. We don't know much about this dude, so, what better way to find out then to spy on him?" Tucker held his chin with his thumb and index finger, obviously thinking about it. Sam, just thought it was crazy.
"That's ridiculous Danny! He hasn't given us any reason to doubt him. And going to spy on him is just invading his privacy!" Danny smirked while raising an eyebrow. Tucker was still thinking about it.
"So, you're saying you don't want to come with me?" Sam looked at the floor while crossing her arms over her chest as she gave a mumbled, "Fine." and Danny grabbed his two friends, then flew to his house.
"Wait a minute Danny, how you know where he lives?" Danny looked at Tucker. Apparently, he had been making a lot of smart observations lately.
"I snuck a peak at his papers. Apparently, he just got the house today. That in itself is kind of weird since he's been here for a couple days already." The three arrived at their destination, and saw Ichigo's mother talking to man and a women, most likely the land lords. Danny pulled them inside of the house, and looked around.
"Danny, there's nothing wrong with the house or the inhabitants, can we please go now?" Danny sighed in defeat.
"I guess your right, Sam. Okay, let's g-" Danny instantly grabbed his two friends, and turned them invisible when the door flung open. Ichigo ran inside, with his mother behind him.
"Who's in here?! If you're a lost soul, then come here, I promise I won't hurt you. If you're a hollow, then I wouldn't want to be you right now." Ichigo looked around. The three just stood with their mouths open. He knew they were in there, but not that it was them in there. Yoruichi looked at Ichigo with a 'really' look before she kicked him through the wall.
~Ichigo and Yoruichi~
"Oi! Yoruichi, what the hell was that for?!" Not realizing it, they began to argue in English. Yoruichi crossed her hands over her chest, as Sam had done before, and sighed, shaking her head.
"Honestly Ichigo, you really think that would work? Whatever's in here is either scared of you, or is laughing at you. For a captain, you're not that bright." Ichigo crawled out of the wall, completely unscathed.
"Hey! I'll admit I'm not the smartest person in the Seireitei, but I don't see why you have to treat me like I'm the dumbest one." Yoruichi fought back giggles at Ichigo's attitude. She walked over and hugged him.
"Oh come down Kurosaki-chan! I'm just teasing." Ichigo scowled at her.
"Don't call me that." Yoruichi pouted.
"But why not?" Ichigo held up his hand, counting the reasons on his fingers.
"Because, the first thing is that I'm not a girl. Second, because you sound like that pervert Hat'n clogs." Yoruichi thought about it for a moment.
"Now that you mention it, that is what he calls you, sorry Ichigo. Hmm...how about," Yoruichi smiled as she clasped her hands together, "Berry-kun?" Ichigo's eyebrow twitched in anger and annoyance.
"For the last time, my name doesn't mean strawberry!" Ichigo threw the nearest thing at her, which just so happened to be a phone book. Yoruichi dodged it.
"Whatever you say Ichigo. Actually, I was thinking we could do something fun over the weekend, since tomorrow's Friday." Ichigo calmed down and raised an eyebrow. Yoruichi picked up the phone book and put it back on the coffee table.
"Well, since we've managed to move in without trouble, we should celebrate. Also, since we're out of the Seireitei, we should enjoy our free time while we still have it. Like you are a normal teenager. Besides, it seems you've made new friends here. I still find it funny how you're a captain, but you still like to hang around teenagers and not people your age. Hm, maybe it makes him feel young again..." Yoruichi began to talk to herself. Ichigo, walked over to the couch and sat down and mumbled to himself as well.
"That doesn't sound too bad..." Ichigo stood up abruptly, remembering why he had to rush home in the first place. Yoruichi looked at her partner from the sudden change of action.
"We still have to find out where that strange reitsu's coming from." Yoruichi's eyes widened when Ichigo reminded her of their task. She formed a fist with her left hand and hit the palm of her right hand.
"That's right. I'll check out the second floor, you get the first." Ichigo nodded as Yoruichi left to go upstairs. He looked around, and for the first time, took in the details of the room. He was standing in the living room, which was the first room you walk into through the door. It actually looked a lot like the hotel room, just a bit more homey, if you could call it that.
The walls and carpet were a cream color, with brown upholstered couches. There was a small television in the corner of the room, with small plants on both sides of it. There was a few random pictures on the wall, nothing more. The kitchen was connected to the living room, with only a change in flooring and wallpaper to know the difference. The tile was a dark grey while the walls were a dark brown like the couches. There was granite counter tops, with dark wood cabinets and an island in the middle. He noticed a door to the left of the refrigerator, and assumed it was a bathroom. Instead of a dinning room, there was barstools to the counter that was closest to the couches of the living room.
Ichigo shook his head, clearing the thoughts out of his mind. Trying to focus at the task at hand, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Ichigo could tell that the reistu was coming from the entry way to the stairwell. He opened his eyes and walked forward, before he reached out to grab the empty air where the reistu was the strongest. Of course, his grip caught nothing. He sighed before returning to his search on the rest of the floor.
~Danny, Sam, and Tucker,~
He knew they were there. He grabbed them. Of course, not literally, but he could have, almost as if he could see them. Danny walked back and forth in front of his friends, in his basement.
"I don't understand. He grabbed at us! He knew we were there. He knew where we were! We were invisible, there was no way he should have been able to know we were there, nevertheless where we were!" Sam held out her arms and grabbed Danny's shoulders trying to make him calm down.
"Danny, calm down. Obviously, something's going on here. Whether it's with your powers or it's with him, we won't know anything if you don't calm down. We need to think about this rationally, and figure this out."
Dun, dun, dun! About the phone call, it's a bit confusing, so I'd read this. When Yoruichi called, obviously, Danny and co. were still with Ichigo. When she called him, she wanted him to see the house because it looked so much like the hotel room, and that Yamamoto must have liked the colors, so they should surprise decorate his quarters like that. However, when Yoruichi was waiting for Ichigo, Danny and co. entered, causing the reistu to appear inside the house. Don't worry, it will be explained in a later chapter. Please remember to review this story!
