Hollows and Soul Reapers
Ichigo stirred and I launched to my feet with a deep growl. Ichigo laughed.
"You are sooo scary Kashira! Ah! I am shaking in my clothes!" Ichigo laughed and he pat me on the head. I relaxed with a wolfy grin.
"Crap! I gotta get ready for school!" Ichigo hissed as he looked at the time. I instantly jumped up and launched off of the bed. The other two animals followed me to the door. Ichigo opened the door and we ran out. He closed it and got ready. The animals and I charged into Isshin's room. In a flash I was human again and I smiled.
"Morning Isshin!" I sang and grabbed out my bag. I grabbed my other items, which were wrapped up tightly, as the other two animals turned into boys and closed the door. They grabbed their bags and began talking softly.
"Kasura!" Isshin smiled and we exchanged a hug. He was smiling widely.
"HEY DAD!" Ichigo's voice yelled out from just beyond the door. The men became silent and I spun around.
Everybody out! I yelled in their heads and we all charged for the massive window. We jumped out as Ichigo opened the door. Isshin slammed the window shut and turned to face his son with a laugh.
"What was that for?" Ichigo asked as the men and I held onto the window sill.
"I finally got a bird out of my room so I had to shut the window so it didn't come back!" Isshin said and covered up the window.
"Right... Well I wanted to know if you've seen Kashira anywhere. I wanted to give her a hug goodbye before I left for school." Ichigo asked. I frowned. I look forward to his hugs, but we were a bit late.
"Sorry, I let her outside early." Isshin replied and Ichigo left. The two men and I dropped into the tree and slid down onto the bushes that were strategically placed there for the mornings and nights.
I turned and ran towards the main street but stopped dead in my tracks to snatch up a rose and put it in my bag, hanging out. It was black with red around the rims of the petals.
"Hey Raven, wanna go into the city quickly? I need to pick up some crap from Urahara, he still has my daggers from the other night. Lucky bastard." My oldest brother said.
"Okay, no problem Irylath." I said with a smile. My brother growled playfully and tackled me. I yelped and trotted just out of reach.
"Enough you two! We aren't in the clear yet! Carrot top is just behind us!" Marcus, my older brother but younger than Irylath by two minutes, said loudly and as if to answer his warning, we caught a glimpse of Ichigo's head as he rounded the corner. We laughed and acted like kids of our own age.
I giggled and ran ahead, singing teasingly back to my brothers.
"IRYLATH AND MARCUS, SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I sang childishly and the two growled playfully.
"THAT IS IT! YOU WILL EAT YOUR OWN WORDS GIRLY!" They yelled and came charging after. I twirled and in the second that I did, I saw Ichigo laughing, but I was around the corner and running to the city.
I walked down the street and wandered towards the school with a cup of coffee and a donut in my hands. My brothers were running around after Urahara, so I went and got my breakfast while they fought for their stuff back.
Everyone began screaming as a building was crushed. I spun on my heels and saw the spirit running away from the hollow. It was the girl from yesterday! Another figure ran out from the dust and to my horror, it was Ichigo.
I dropped my food and charged across the street. I tackled him as the hollow reached for his head. I spun in the air and landed on my feet, Ichigo in a heap on the ground with the girl next to him.
"Damn bastards, why can't they just fuck off!" I hissed as Ichigo looked up in shock. I swallowed evenly and looked over my shoulder at him, my hair hiding my eyes. "You alright?" I asked him.
"Y-yeah. You see it too?" he asked.
"Yup. Just stay here and get the girl safe." I said and the girl looked up from behind Ichigo. I dropped my school bag and held something in my hand. As I did, the bandages moved and the edges of my form flickered. Suddenly my school girl clothes were gone and I wore the black and white kimono with a white over shirt, the Captains clothes of Squad Three. I held a sword that was sharp, long and had strange engravings all along the blade and the handle.
"Wha-" Ichigo began but suddenly there was another girl. She slashed the mask of the Hollow, but more were suddenly there.
"Time to join in the fun!" I grinned and bolted across the street and towards the fight. Behind me Ichigo was calling for me to wait and not get myself killed.
I launched into the air, right over the Hollow in front of me and did a forwards flip, slashing the mask in half. As the Hollow dissolved Ichigo saw me standing over the girl, her shoulder slashed up, blood splattered everywhere.
"Be careful noob. You're on earth now, not in the Soul Society training." I laughed as she glared up at me. As soon as she saw me, a Hollow lashed out. I twirled on the spot, and the Hollow froze. It then splattered out blood and dissolved, with me facing the girl.
"Who are you." she grunted as she looked at me in shock. Before she could say a thing I spun and twirled, in what looked like a dance, and soon all of the seven Hollows were dissolving.
I put the sword away, the bandages wrapping around it. I turned away from the girl then paused. I turned to her and waved my hands in a seemingly useless show. I then placed my hand on the girls shoulder. It glowed and then her shoulder suddenly healed.
"There. Cya later, Rukia." I said and ran off, leaving her staring forwards in shock. I ran to my bag, and Ichigo, and picked it up, hiding my eyes once more and I wore my school girl clothes once more.
"What..." Ichigo muttered, he was unable to speak or move. I threw my bag onto my back as I began to run quickly towards the school.
"HEY WAIT! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR NAME!" Ichigo yelled, but I kept running.
I met up with my brothers as they came running the way I had come. They saw my messy hair and frowned.
"We missed it!" Irylath whined. He held his newly recovered daggers, ready to fight. He put them away and we walked towards the school, it wasn't far now.
"Sorry. There were seven against me while this Soul Reaper, Rukia, was on the ground unable to fight." I explained and the two gawked at me.
"Don't worry, I don't think she remembers me yet." I said with a giggle as I fixed up my hair, leaving it down but brushing it.
"I still can't believe we missed it!" Irylath yelled as he walked up the front of the school, up the stairs and into the class room. I paused outside the room and looked up. Chad looked at me through his hair, I looked at him through mine. His blank stare seemed to brighten for a second and I swear I saw the slight flicker of a smile curl his lips.
He was a big guy, dark skinned and hard to knock down. Ever since I tackled him to the ground one day to get him out of the way of a Hollow while my hidden brothers took care of it, he and I had become friends.
"Hey Chad. How's life been treating you?" I asked with a wide smile.
"Not bad. You look like you were run over. You okay?" he asked, his worry clear on his words and his eyes. He had seen me look like crap most days I come to school. I smiled wider.
"I'm fine. I was tackling my brothers this morning." I said with a laugh and Chad grunted in amusement. I blinked in shock as I heard rushing footsteps and looked behind Chad. He turned to face the sound too.
"CHAD!" Ichigo yelled and I vanished inside the room, but not without a soft smile at Ichigo and vanished, as if I was a spirit that vanished in fear.
"Time for work. Come on Kashira." the teacher sang and I walked over to my brothers, sitting between them with a grin.
The truth was out, partly, and only Ichigo saw me in the street fighting the Hollow, but he saw no prominent features, but my hair and the sword. All was well that ends well.
