Christmas PT.2

Chapter- The search in the living world

Urahara's shop was filled to capacity with Ichigo, Toshiro, Rengiku, Hianeko, Rukia, Chad, Uruyu and Orihime. Not to mention Yoruichi in her cat form sitting next to Urahara.

Everyone had been filled in with the situation,"So, have you three heard anything like this," asked Rukia to the three other teenage humans.

Orihime shook her head and Chad muttered a negative response. Uruyu pushed his glasses back on his face,"I can't help feel like the story is familiar."

"Really," asked Ichigo surprised?

"Yes," Uruyu smirked,"I just can't remember," he turned to the captain and his Lieutenant and her Zanpakto,"You said she appeared from a portal of light, correct?"

"Yep," Regiku answered happily,"I saw it appear, it was like looking at a silver sun."

"I think I saw something described like that in a book once," the Quincey stood up,"Excuse me."

"Where are you goin," Ichigo called after him.

"The library!"

Ichigo sighed,"Well now what?"

Urahara coughed and Yoruichi chuckled,"I think it's rather simple," the black cat purred,"You go and question people. Look around, even ask spirits or souls. I think I'll come along as well. Orihime, Rukia," both girls looked up,"Why don't you go around and look on the east side of town," Chad, Ichigo, you can take the west. Captain, Lieutenant, Hianeko you can take the north and Urahara and I shall go to the south."

Urahara glanced up at his friend,"Hey now! How'd I get dragged into this?"

Yoruichi chuckled and licked her front paw,"Because you were in my line of site."

Rengiku smiled,"It sounds like a great plan," she grabbed her captain's hand and pulled him toward the door,"Come on Captain! Let's go!"

"Hey! Quit pulling!"

Rukia smiled at Orihime,"Ready!"

Orihime smiled and nodded her head in enthusiasm,"Uh-huh," the two girls stood and left.

Ichigo turned Chad,"Well me might as well go."

"Right."


It took hours, but no one had really come up with anything. Any spirits, souls or humans that had been asked simply didn't know anything about Phantom Wolf.

Rukia sighed after a little girl she had asked told her that she'd never heard of Phantom Wolf,"Oh, well, I'm sorry to bother you, now, as to you passing on..."

Ichigo and Chad had managed to kill a few hollows and all the humans they had aske thought they were crazy, until Chad had the idea to use the old 'School Project Excuse'.

Regiku, Toshiro and Hianeko were comming up empty, but they hadn't really asked anyone due to the fact that both of the girls were more focused on window shopping.

Yoruichi and Urahara hadn't found anything either, and not for lack of trying. In fact, they probably asked the most people! Then again, it seemed too many people were drawn to the two's hysterics.


Uruyu had spent his time going over the piles and piles of tomes he had found in the town library. He blew the dust off of yet another and sneezed. He shook himself and then quickly scanned the pages, nothing. He sighed,"Maybe I'm not narrowing my search down enough..."

He sat back and scanned the books again,"I have all the books on natural phenomenon in recorded history, and on were-creatures, gods, the supernatural and demons, and yet none of them mention a female creature that uses portals to travel with wolf ears and a tail..."

He reached for another leather bound dust covered book, when a glare caught off of the edge of his glasses. His head shot up and looked over, a small sparkling light was shining from in-between the book cases. He stood and quietly pushed the chair back into the table and made his way over to the hallway that stood in-between the bookshelves that towered over him. The light didn't fade but began to flutter around. Uruyu increased his speed as well as his environmental awareness in case of a trap. He turned into the small sections of bookshelves that the light was coming from. It dimmed significantly and Uruyu shot forward. The light had turned into sparkling which had settled on one book on the shelf. He put his hand on it and the sparkling substance rubbed off onto his hand,"Strange," he muttered.

Uruyu picked the book up off the shelf and walked back over to his table. The title on the front cover read,"The Light War."

Uruyu flipped through the book before he gasped and immediatley pulle out his cell phone and dialed Ichigo,"Hey, I found something, I'm at the library-call everyone and have them meet me here."

Little did Uruyu know that there was someone watching him from the shadows, purple eyes flashed as they watched him leave. There was a smile as they pulled out a small silver box, it flashed to life and then, a face appeared in the air,"Fang Paw? Report in."

"They found the wiped book we planted. I'll put a VERY strong suggestion in one of the girl's minds to try and find a complete version."

"Which they won't. But they'll find you."

"Correct."

The figure stepped out of the shadows. She had changed her looks to somewhat blend into this world. Her normal purple hair now was black with a single stripe of violet on her left front side. A denim jacket over a navy blue shirt and a white skirt with black converse. Her eyes flashed from violet to blue,"And then we can move on to Phase 2."

"Right, over and out Fang Paw."

"Over and out Dusky."
