Chapter- Ichigo learns of Phantom

Ichigo and Rukia were walking home from patrol, and had decided to stop at Urahara's shop. They were quietly having tea when,"Aw captain! I thought you said we were gonna go see Ichigo?"

"This place is dirty," complained Hianeko.

Ichigo and Rukia both sweat dropped as Rengiku, her manifested Zanpakto and Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya walked into the room. Ichigo and Rukia both were shocked for a moment but Kitsuke recovered first,"Why hello Captain Hitsugaya! Lieutenant Rengiku, what can I do you for?"

Rengiku sat across from the two teenagers, Toshiro joining her,"We seem to have a bit of a situation at the Soul Society."


Toshiro poured himself more tea,"So, now you now our situation," he said calmly after taking a sip.

Rukia blinked,"So... A girl came into the Seritie through a portal of light?"

Rengiku chirped happily,"Yep!"

"Then, Renji saved her from falling to her death," Ichigo ran the events through his mind,"Then this evil version of herself appeared and almost killed her and Yachiru but Kempachi wounded it," Ichigo smiled at Rukia,"Damn, we missed a lot didn't we?"

"It seems so," Rukia smiled back.

"I feel bad for her," Hianeko admitted leaning back on her hands," I really do. I mean, she had to undergo hours of surgery with Captain Unohana -and as far as either I or my master or her captain know- she was still unconscious when we left for the world of the living."

"Damn," muttered Ichigo.

"So neither of you have hear of this Phantom Wolf," Tosiro sighed,"Have you?"

Ichigo leaned back thinking,"Uhh. Nope can't say I have."

"How about you Rukia," Rengiku smiled over at said girl.

"No, this if the first I have heard of it as well."

Ichigo glance over at Kitsuke,"How about you? You heard of her?"

Urahara thought,"No, I haven't either. It sounds serious. Perhaps maybe the others might know?"

"Alright then," Ichigo stood,"I'll call Uruyu, Orihime and Chad then, they should be able to help."


Renji was sitting in a chair in Phantom's room in Squad four's hospital. Phantom was hooked up to a heart monitor and Isane had taken off her bloody clothes and put her into a white kimono that all hospital patients wear. Renji thought back to when Hanataro had first escorted him to the room.

Hanataro smiled and opened the door that lead into the room,"Here we are!"

Renji blinked in surprise, he saw her bloody clothes in the corner, but his attention immediatly fell on her unmasked face- a white bandage was on a scratch on her cheek- her cheek bones were sharper than he had anticipated and she had what appeared to be the beginning of laugh lines on her face. She was still pretty pale, but she had a slight rose to her cheeks now. She also looked very young. Hanataro chuckled nervously,"W-Well, there's a chair if you would like to sit down and rest for a while. Sorry we couldn't fit another bed in here."

Renji shrugged and leaned against the wall near the chair,"Hey, don't worry about it. I can't really sleep on guard duty anyway."/

Renji sighed and leaned back against the chair. That had been at least six hours ago and the moon had climbed high into the sky, almost midnight if he was reading it right. He glanced over at his charge - he sighed -she was still asleep. It was weird, Phantom had a calm, peaceful face instead of one that was scared, angry or covered in fur.

Monkey looked over at him, Snakey was asleep next to her on the floor,"Why don't you get some sleep Renji- I'll keep an eye out."

Renji smiled,"Thanks."
