Chapter 7: Brother

Karin Kurosaki held Isshin's umbrella kendo-style and brought it down on an invisible foe before her. She swung the "sword" in a wide sweep, then stabbed the empty air. She heard crickets chirp outside and a wall-mounted clock tick.

"Hey, Karin, have you seen where dad - oh." Ichigo descended the stairs and stared. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Nothing. I'm fine." Karin hastily set aside the umbrella. "I-I haven't seen dad. Sorry."

Her brother shrugged and went back upstairs.

Karin glanced at the umbrella. Yet again, she had seen Ichigo in those strange black robes today, fighting those... things... with a sword. She didn't know why. Even imitating swordplay hadn't given her any ideas.

What was her big brother hiding?
