Chapter 8: planning for the future
With the fact that, there's no proms in college and only spring fling dances or other cool events happening. The most important thing to worry the most is getting good grades to plan for the future. Ichigo plans on being a doctor and Natalia is gonna be a high school teacher. Hannah and shinji have their hearts set on being police officers. Where as everyone else still have a lot to think about.
College isn't about fun and games; it was about planning and preparing your future. But also have fun in between. Too much fun however can really mess you up, both academically and maybe even socially. For shinji and Hannah they got a good deal set. With both of them working as police officers with good pay. And going to school to get their education. They are pretty much set for life.
Whereas ichigo and Natalie. They have to prepare for the worst in their lives. But they have their friends supporting them all the way. With kon and his new life, he's living life to the fullest. Learning new things, taking risks that don't put him in to trouble. Keigo and mizurio are making a lot of new friends. And find people that have the same interest as them.
But no relationships since they were taken. Natalie was a little stressed with her creating writing class, the last thing she needed was to write about the adventures she had in the soul society. She felt that if the secret is revealed then the penalty is death. Keigo and Sasha, while training to become the member of the soul society, have their goals set on their careers right after college. Keigo and Sasha both want to become computer programmers. And a graphic designers for Namco-Bandai video game company.
Mizuiro thought about becoming an stuntman for the JAS Company, but Vanessa does not want him to get injured. Or even feared of Mizuiro getting killed during the filming of an movie, so Vanessa thought about becoming an anime producer and a voice actress with Mizuiro, and he thought it was a great idea. Since he wanted to work with Vanessa, side by side, so agreed happily and planned their future with Vanessa.
Also they must balance their lives, between the world of the living and the soul society as they get married and have kids. Kon and Cassandra decided to stick with something that they love. Which is fighting. But as a side job kon decided that he will be swordsmen teacher and Cassandra will be a dance teacher. When trouble strikes they will be there to save the innocent.
Mizuho decided that she will be a English teacher. But after that fateful day of meeting ikkau. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Was this true love? A mere human falling in love with a soul reaper. Mizuho is actually turning over like a leaf. Trying to be a better sister for keigo's sake. Since that's the only brother she'll ever have. Everyone is working hard to prepare for their future. But the question is can they balance the two worlds. Of being in the soul society and living in the world of the living.
When Natalie had work, was a bit stressed about working minimum wage at a nice cafe. While at the same time in school juggling homework, killing hollows, spending time with ichigo and so much more. To her it seemed like there was just not enough time in the world to do everything. But she was determined to make time for it. Keigo was so stoaked about pursuing his dreams and with someone he cares about, and helped him through the rough times.
When his sister was all bossy and cruel to him. Keigo was so happy that his girlfriend Sasha gave him the confidence to stand up to his sister. Mizuiro was grateful to have Vanessa, coming from the ashes and being someone that contribute to the world. He was happy to have found love. And vows to make a difference in the world.
Everyone is working their butts off to have a good future. Uryuu decided that he will be a doctor with ichigo and the two will open up their own clinic together. Ryuken was please at the fact that his only son will be doing something productive and logical. Whereas ishiin, wants his kids to be happy. With whatever dream they want to pursue.
While everyone was working, trouble struck as usual in karakura town. The ones that were near, was shinji and Hannah. They got in to the squad car and headed down to the park. At first they thought it was just one mere hollow. Something that was easy to handle. But when they got there, there was massive spiritual pressure, dozens of hollows and menos appeared.
Hannah and shinji were shocked at this crisis. Shinji got out his phone and called everyone to come down to the area. Keigo, Vanessa, Natalie and all the others responded and headed to the action. Kon was stoaked to go to work and help save innocent souls. Along with his partner in crime Cassandra. "What hell is that?!" said kon. Was shocked himself to see what they were up against.
"This is highly unusual! We need to stop those things!" said Sasha. "Right! Let's go everyone!" said keigo. Shinji and ichigo stopped him. "What's the deal guys?" keigo asked. "Keigo, you can't go rushing in. that's just plan suicide" said shinji. "Shinji is right, keigo. We need to work as a team. To get this done." said ichigo. Keigo nodded at ichigo then at shinji.
They all formed groups to take them out. Group one was distraction and fighting team. Groups two through five were back up and fighters to. As Hannah instructed keigo and mizuiro to do the finishing blow. With that in mind all of them leaped in to action and do their duties to the protect the innocent. Mizuho was watching from the distance, her version of the fight was somewhat clear but still blurry. Ikkau was coming to the action. But when he saw her. He was at crossroads. He had to make a choice. Go in to the action. Or take mizuho safe.
But also there was that fact the two had lost contact, for a very long time. "Damn it...not now, what the hell did she have to follow them" ikkau thought to himself. Yumichika came by and saw him. "Ikkau, just go to the others. I'll protect the girl." yumichika said to his best friend. Ikkau looked at him and nodded as he flashed stepped away before mizuho noticed. "Who are you?" mizuho looked to yumichika. "I am a friend of ikkau's. We don't have time for introductions. I must get you somewhere safe." he said to her.
She nodded as the two ran for their lives. Meanwhile everyone is struggling to fight these mass number of hollows. Kenpachi came by and smirked "ha! These puny hollows won't stand a chance against me" he said. "Captain, if you do it alone it's just plan suicide!" said ikkau. "Don't worry, with my strength this will be done in ten seconds." he said very cocky.
"Listen to us kenpatchi! If you get killed that will be the end of your squad. We need to do this as a team" said shinji and keigo. "Ah, alright kill joy. I'll pair up with ikkau. He and yumichika are my best fighters." he said. With that the fighting continued. Within five minutes the first wave of hollows were finished. As there were six more to go. All five groups headed out towards each wave of hollow thus, killing them off for good. "That was so awesome!" said kon and keigo at the same time.
"Yes it was, plus we did it together" Sasha and Cassandra said. The two smiled and slightly blushed as their girlfriends hugged and kissed them. To celebrate this moment they headed back to shinji and Hannah's house. For a small get together. And invited their friends who were unable to come. It wasn't about the fight. It was about being together and spend together. You only live once. So live life to the fullest.
