Chapter 2: The unleashing

Kazuki peeked through the crack in the door of Miyuki's house from all looks and appearance it seem like she and her mom had already gone in the back and started the warm up exercise. Kazuki sighed relieved if they were outside then that means he wasn't as late as he thought. He opened the door all the way and stepped in the house, it was quite to quite he thought. Kazuki gulped the silence made him feel as if someone was watching him. After taking a few steps in to the house the door suddenly shut behind him. Kazuki jumped, gulped and slowly turned around; there leaning on the door was Yoruichi. Kazuki smiled weakly and waved

" Yo Yoruichi-san-."

Kazuki was cut off by as Yoruichi's foot cut across his face, Kazuki went fly into the couch head first. Kazuki head hit the arm of the couch he yelped in pain. He fell to the ground holding his face. Man two hits with one kick ….this is definitely going to burse. Oh shit here she comes. Kazuki watched as Yoruichi who had said nothing the whole time walked over, lifted him up by his shirt, and just looked at him.

"Do you know why I kicked you?" she asked

"Because I'm late ….again." said Kazuki winching in pain. Yoruichi nodded and then looked over at the clock and motioned with her head for Kazuki to follow her glaze. Kazuki did so slowly for move his neck hurt, when he final was able to see the clock it said 1:45. I'm hour late...Crap!

"You know what this means right?" said "Yoruichi "your being an hour late."

Kazuki sighed

"It means I have to ….(sighs) stay an hour longer and do sit ups right?"

Yoruichi smiled "Sit ups ... Oh no my dear your doing pushups"

That's not to bad thought Kazuki I can do those all day. Yoruichi smiled widened; Kazuki eyes widened in response. Oh no!!

"Wait, wait not that!!" shouted Kazuki" NOOO!!"

"Oh yes!"

Four hours later……

"One thousand forty-five hundred...!" aspirated Kazuki "Now get your fat ass off me" he said as he collapsed to the ground. Miyuki climb off his back and closed the book she had been reading and looked down at Kazuki motionless form.

"Ya know if you'd show up on time, Mom would be so hard on you."

"Yeah I know but, I really had an excuse this time," said Kazuki

"Oh, so all the other time were lies then huh?" Miyuki questioned, "Maybe I should go in the house and tell my mother."

Kazuki closed his eyes and groaned; Miyuki laughed and shook her head.

"I'm just playing but seriously what held you up?"

Kazuki opened his eyes slightly and looked up at Miyuki.

"It was …"

(Another voice) "There you are!"

Kazuki and Miyuki both looked up to see who had spoke but saw no one. Miyuki looked down at Kazuki.

"You heard that too right?"

"Yeah but I don't see anybo.."

Kazuki was cut off as Tenshi jumped on to his back. Miyuki jumped back and Kazuki howled in pain.

"Thought you got away didn't ya, I'm not done with you yet Kid!"

"Get the hell off of my back!!" shouted Kazuki.

"What the hell!" shouted Miyuki "Who the hell is that?!"

"This is the reason I was late," said Kazuki rolling Tenshi off his back. Tenshi looked over at Miyuki then back at Kazuki.

"She can see me too?!" Tenshi shouted, "What the hell is going on?"

"OY!! Will kids be quite I'm trying to think" shouted Yoruichi from the house.

Tenshi looked toward the house looking for who had spoken.

" Hey, Kid who the heck was- "

Kazuki cut Tenshi off by cupping his hand on her mouth.

" Look if she comes outside we're dead and I don't think she can see you, so I don't want to have to explain why we're talking to thin air ok?!So look meet us at the front of the house and I'll answer all your freaking questions there Ok?!"

(Pulls herself free of his grasp) "Fine but I want those answers; I'll see you out front."

"Me too." Said Miyuki " I want to know what the hell is going on?!"

" Oh, come on!" said Kazuki" Look I'll answer both of you in the front ..geeez!"

Tenshi nodded, jumped on a nearby fence then on to the roof of the house and on to the other side. Kazuki and Miyuki watched as she disappeared. After Tenshi was gone Miyuki turned and faced Kazuki. Kazuki looked down at the brown blond shrugged.

"What?"

"What do you mean "what?" who was that?" asked Miyuki "And how are we going to make up an excuses to go out?"

" Look I'll explain everything out Front and what are you talking about making up an excuse we'll just go to the front and talk to her, what's the big deal?!"

Miyuki rolled her eyes, placed her hands on her hips and glared at Kazuki.

"Look my mom may not be able to see her, hell I don't how we do, but I think it will look a lot less suspicious if we go to the store or something opposed to sitting on the steps and talking to thin air , you follow me?"

Kazuki sighed he hadn't thought about that.

"Ok, go tell your mom we're going to the store for my mom and we'll be back in an hour."

"Right and Kazuki."

"Yeah?"

"You need to go take a shower or something because you stink."

After telling her Mom Miyuki was allowed to go with Kazuki to the store (after he took a quick shower) , they met Tenshi outside who was sitting on the curve waiting. After proper introductions Tenshi explained her situation and her relationship with hollows.

"So let me get this straight," said Miyuki "You're a death god who fights hollows and is suppose to keep them from eating souls so that they can go to some faraway place called the soul society. Right?"

"Right!" responded Tenshi "Your missing a few part but that's it in a nut shell!"

"Oh?" said Miyuki. She turned and gave Kazuki a confused look.

"So, what about this don't you get?"

"Thank you!! That's what I been trying to figure out!" said Tenshi

Kazuki rolled his eyes and shock his head

"Look all I said is that I don't believe in Shinigami…I …I have my reasons and I don't want to talk about it right now!" said Kazuki impatiently. He walked ahead and put distance between him and the girls. Tenshi watched after Kazuki as he walked off then she looked over at Miyuki.

"He's tense isn't he?"

"Yeah….Its just the way he is, he gets like that about certain things, you know?" Miyuki said quietly.

"Oh." said Tenshi

Kazuki after he had spaced himself from the others slowed down. I should have snapped at them like that …it's not like they know. (Sighs) I better go back and apologize. Kazuki stopped walking and looked over his shoulder and waited for the girls to catch up, they were almost in ear range when a roar that sound like explosion went off. Kazuki turned around and looked around quickly. He could feel the sweat dripping of his forehead. The hell was that. It sounded like …one of those Hollow things.

" Oy, You there?" said Miyuki waving her hand in front of Kazukis' face. He stepped back and wiped the sweat from his brow. Miyuki look strangely at Kazuki.

"You ok?" she asked

"Didn't you hear that?"

"Hear what?" said Tenshi come up on the other side of Kazuki.

"That noise it sounded like …"

There was a roar followed by another then another and the sounded closer Kazuki looked up and around again but saw nothing.

"There did you hear that?!" he asked.

" Ummm…. You ok Kid" asked Tenshi

Kazuki looked over at Tenshi.

"You didn't hear those things just now?!"

"Hear what?" asked Tenshi confused "What The hell are you talking about?"

"Those Hollow things I just heard a lot of them and they're getting closer!"

Tenshi looked over at Miyuki who shrugged. Tenshi looked up at Kazuki and smiled, reach up and placed a hand on his shoulder.

" Look your probably shook from your encounter with that one from early today but there are no hollows here trust me I would know I would sense them if there as close as you say." Tenshi said reassuringly, however my senses have been acting up lately I barely made it in time to save him from the hollow today, it was change that I happened upon him. My senses feel confused almost as if someone's drowning them out with resutia.

Kazuki shook his head, placed his hand on his forehead, maybe she was right maybe he was just shook and he was just hearing things. He had been through a lot today, first he was attacked by a monster question by a strange woman who claims she's a death god and his best friend was educating him on how to come up with excuses. Man when I get home I'm taking a cold shower and going straight to bed. For the rest of the walk there were no more roars of Hollows as far as Kazuki could tell. He breathed deep and began to enjoy the walk it wasn't long before the group could see the supermarket in the distance.

"Here it is Tenshi!" said Miyuki "This is where we humans shop for food."

Tenshi looked in wonder at the store, clapped her hands together, and smiled.

"I've heard that the real world has all kinds of sweet things to eat but I never knew where to go to get them, wow and this is a really big store too!" Tenshi said excitedly.

"Kazuki you coming!" asked Miyuki

"Nah I'll just wait outside, oh by the way my mom needs some noodles and chicken, so here's a twenty and yes you can keep the change."

Miyuki grabbed Tenshi hand and rushed off to the store. Kazuki watched, as the girls got closer to the store when he looked up and saw something sitting on top of the building. From the distance he was at he could see it glowing red eyes, Kazuki eyes widened in fear, A HOLLOW! He thought. He looked back at the girls who were getting closer to the store. Damn it! Kazuki sprinted toward the girls as the hollow jumped from it resting place.

"Shinigami, Miyuki!" shouted Kazuki "MOVE!" Kazuki tackled both girls to the ground just as the hollow landed where they had been walking moments before. The hollow turned, looked down at the small group, and roared. Then suddenly from across the parking lot came an answer , then other than other. Three other hollows had made their way to the same supermarket as the group.

"Told you I heard, those damn things!" said Kazuki "Now do you believe me ?!"

Tenshi said nothing, she unsheathe her sword and rushed forward. I was careless, I should have been able to sense these things from a mile away , but I didn't it wasn't until the last second, then I realized what was happening , but ….Kazuki sensed them before we even got here , and I couldn't it's as if something was masking their presence, or rather dulling my senses.

Tenshi cut down the first Hollow and went to attack the next one when she heard a scream. She turned around and saw a one hollow had managed to behind her and was no holding Miyuki. Oh shit. Tenshi looked around for Kazuki, when she found him he was throw rocks sticks whatever he could get his hands on trying to get the hollow to let go of Miyuki. It's no use thought Tenshi

"Kazuki run!! I'll save the girl!"

Kazuki looked at Tenshi and shook his head.

"No fucking way! I'm not going anywhere!"

"Kazuki, you fool that hollow will only kill you- "

Tenshi was cutting off by another hollow, as it grabbed her. She tried to get free but it was no use, the hollow only tightened its grip. Tenshi felt the pressure build up around her and knew that she didn't have much time. She managed to get one arm out of the Hollows massive hand.

"Way of destruction 31, Shakkahō!"

A red blast shot through the air right into the hollows face. Tenshi watched in horror as the smoke cleared as the hollow wipe its face. The hollow glared as her and tightened its grip around her tiny frame. Tenshi let out a blood echoing scream as she felt her arm break under the pressure. The hollow seemingly pleased by her scream threw Tenshi into a nearby building. Tenshi could feel the cold hard concrete cave in as she made contact with it; she could feel some of her rib bones cracking as she hit the building.

"Shit, I …I can barely move" she said shaking. Tenshi thoughts were quickly direct to her companions as she saw Kazuki being pressed in the ground by a hollow while the other held Miyuki. Kazuki was struggling under the hollow weight as it pressed down. Tenshi cursed herself for not being able to sense the hollow and avoiding the whole situation. I got to get help ….somehow but the pain….

Tenshi could feel herself beginning to fade in and out of consciousness she fought herself trying to stay wake but to no use, she watched drowsily as a hollow began to approach her. Tenshi smiled weakly and gripped her sword. At least I die sword in hand. She thought before pass out.
