CHAPTER SIX


My body was burning, I barely remembered what happened.

That monster sent a bunch of leeches my way and once they attached themselves all over my body they exploded, now my school uniform was wrecked, I failed to protect the bird and was carried off by the monster along with Yūichi.

But that was a few minutes ago, now I lay on the concrete, my body flaring in pain as I lay beside the bird. Ahead of me I saw Chad and Rukia facing this monster.

My eyes widened, Rukia. That was the young lady Yūichi was talking about!

"I'm so sorry mister; I was trying to call for you…." Yūichi apologized, his cage was covered by some small weird green creatures, until I realised that they were also on top of me as well. Making me unable to move, these creatures must've come from that white masked monster.

"That's okay." Chad replied, he gazed at me briefly "Are you alright?"

I grunted "Been better."

The monster cackled "With three leech bombs on the bird cage and the girl you'll both do what I say!"

Leech bombs? So that's what they were called, no wonder those leeches exploded.

"Because if they explode, there won't be enough of either of your friends to spread on a cracker." The monster continued.

I cringed "You disgusting-"

"Now, now don't be hasty. Are you forgetting the situation you're in?" The monster grinned evilly, if that was even possible.

It laughed again "Now let's play a new game, muscle head stays put while I play tag with the soul reaper."

"Soul reaper…?" I questioned as Rukia stood up, clutching the side of her face, "Do as he says, don't think for a second he won't blow them up. At least the chase will take him away from here, so you'll be safe." She said to chad.

"But what about you, new girl?" Chad questioned.

I glanced up at the monster briefly as Rukia and Chad conversed, I could only hope it wouldn't lug me around more.
'I'm definitely not a fan of being carried around by strangers, let alone a monster.' I couldn't help but wonder, how come I wasn't as scared like the last time? Was it because this was becoming a regular occurrence? Even then I should still be scared.

I closed my eyes in concentration; I felt it before and on that night at Orihime's house. Some kind of energy….it was coming towards them now but even though it was far away I could still sense it…it was a comforting and strong energy, as to who it originated from I didn't have a clue. All I could do was hope that it'd be here soon.

"Good luck." Chad said to Rukia with a nod.

"Thanks." Rukia said quickly before taking off.

I watched as the monster sent hundreds and hundreds of Leech bombs in Rukia's direction. The leech bombs on top of me and Yūichi took off as well.

"Rukia…." I muttered "Don't get yourself killed…" as the monster then took off after Rukia, leaving Chad, Yūichi and I alone.


Chad and I walked over to where we saw Ichigo on the ground and Rukia looking around the corner; well I was more so stumbling and dragging myself over there. I mean chad offered to help me but I was too stubborn for that despite it hurting like hell.

"Huh? Ichigo..? What's wrong?" Chad called as we approached.

Rukia turned to us "There you two are, don't worry about him, both of you get out of here and take that cockatiel somewhere safe."

Chad stared wide eyed at Rukia "What's going on? What's with Ichigo?"

"He looks kinda dead you know." I grumbled, today was certainly not my day.

"Don't worry about him…Ichigo is fine. He's fighting to protect us all."

A blurry image of an orange haired boy dressed in a black Kimono with a sword as long as his body flashed in my mind.

'Ichigo….' I thought in worry. Like the rest of us he was only 15 and yet here he was, fighting white masked monsters like it was a daily routine.

Rukia turned to the cockatiel and stared it down "Now tell me, you're obviously a soul. So what are you doing in a bird's body?"

They all stood around the cage as Yūichi explained what happened to him and why the monster was after him.

"Is that true?" Rukia finally questioned after a small silence.

Yūichi looked down sadly "I'm afraid it's all my fault…I…I just wanted to bring my mother back to life…"

I looked down sadly at the bird- no, the boy. It was beyond unfair for such a young boy to experience such pain….

"Yūichi…" chad whispered.

"I didn't mean for those people to get hurt, if I'd known about that then I never would have done it…all I wanted…was just to see…my mother again…I'm sorry…" Yūichi whimpered.

"Wait, so you really just accepted such a lie? That if you did what he said, then he could bring your mother back to life? How could you believe that?" Rukia asked curtly with a blank gaze.

Anger boiled up inside of me as I glared at Rukia "He's just a boy Rukia! He doesn't know any better! Every young child is desperate for some more time with their parents! When that's taken away they'll do anything to get them back!" I spat angrily.

"But even as a child would you believe that the dead could be brought back to life?" Rukia countered her gaze cold.

I scowled "You don't understand…If you're that desperate…then yes."

She turned away "You're right. I don't understand."

I sighed, there was no point in arguing. I guess we'd just have to wait until Ichigo came back….I didn't know much about what was going on but I did know that Ichigo was elsewhere. 'Did he leave his body?' I couldn't help but wonder as I stared at the motionless figure of Ichigo lying on the ground.

There were so many things I didn't know, that I had yet to find out….

"I'll be back." Rukia stated as she ran off.

"Wait!" Chad called

"Take care of Ichigo's body for now!" she called back.

I felt as though thousands of question marks floated around my head as I thought of her wording 'take care of Ichigo's body for now!'

His body? So was I right? His soul was actually elsewhere? or did she mean he was simply unconscious? Nooo that couldn't be right….

I flopped onto the ground, holding my head. The pain in my body had partially subsided but all these questions with no answers were giving me a migraine.

Chad turned to me "Are you okay?"

I grunted "Oh who knows?" I couldn't help but say sarcastically, I was surprised no one had called me crazy by now. Seeing all these monsters and ghosts and people in black Kimono's was definitely driving me nuts.


The sun slowly began to set as Ichigo, Chad and I watched as Rukia held her hand in front of the bird. Ichigo in his black kimono stood to the side, Chad stood behind me, and I sat by the bird cage as my legs were too achy to stand.

Silence engulfed them until Ichigo asked "What's wrong?"

Rukia sighed "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do, his chain of fate has been severed. There's no sign of it, without it there is no way I can return him to his body."

I gazed sadly at the poor boy "Yūichi…"

"Oh no…" Yūichi said sadly

"Don't be sad, the soul society is a wonderful place that's very peaceful. You'll be happy there, you'll never be hungry and you'll never grow old. In fact it's a much better place to live than this world." Rukia said with a soft smile.

"So now you're suddenly an expert on life in this world." Ichigo interrupted sarcastically.

"wha?" Rukia replied, confused.

"Anyway, you're missing the point here, when you pass over you'll finally be reunited with your mother." Ichigo stated.

Yūichi perked up in excitement, there seemed to be a light that flashed in his eyes, hope. I certainly knew that look all too well, I smiled softly as Ichigo continued.

"Maybe we can't bring her back to life, but she is on the other side waiting for you…and this time, it's really true."

"Ichigo…" Rukia said in astonishment.

Yūichi suddenly looked over to Chad "Mister Sado, thank you for everything you did for me, you carried me everywhere in your arms and kept me safe and you were even brave enough to face a terrible monster and protect me from it."

"Hey, don't even mention it." Chad replied.

Yūichi turned to me "Thank you miss, I know you weren't with me for long but you even stayed with me no matter what I said, even when that monster attacked, you didn't run."

I smiled "Don't worry about it kid, I hope you manage to find your mother."

Yūichi nodded "…I can't thank all of you enough."

A small ghost of a boy appeared behind Yūichi of which I could only assume was the boys real appearance, he was so young…

"Yūichi, someday when I die and pass over too, would it be okay with you if sometimes I carried you around again?" Chad asked.

Yūichi smiled "Mhm!"

"Well then…if you're ready. Let's begin the Konsō." Ichigo said.

I watched as he placed the hilt of his sword to the boy's forehead in which he glowed and sank through the ground, going off to this soul society place.

"So…this soul society….is the afterlife?" I muttered to myself.


Okay so this chapter is done, yea it's a lot shorter but eh.
Also I must note to you all it was unspecified whether they erased Chad's memory after the happenings of this episode, it kinda sounds like they would but I think I recall in a future episode chad remembering seeing the Hollow before. And he remembered Yūichi, so for the next chapter I'm just making it that both Chad and Ayame remember.

Hope you enjoyed and as always Follow, Favourite and of course Review!
