Chapter 9: Awakening + Vampire
After saying goodbye to Rukia and Renji, Moka (Inner) carried the unconscious Tsukune back to the Urahara Shop. 'What was that monster' she thought, 'and why did my kicks had no effect on him from the beginning?'
(Flashback)
Moka threw a kick at the former hollow but it had no effect.
"What?!"
"What's wrong," Shrieker taunted, "Is that all you got?" Shrieker grabbed Moka by her leg and threw her into Rukia.
(End of Flashback)
'Also he said something about him being a sinner.'
(Flashback)
Shrieker grabbed Moka and Rukia by their throats and slammed them into a wall. "Hahaha, well Soul Reaper, I'm different than before."
"What is he talking about," Moka asked Rukia while trying to get out of Shrieker's grasp.
"I'll explain later," Rukia answered then turned her attention back to Shrieker, "What…are you?"
"You two don't what this chain is, do you," Shrieker asked the two girls, "Let me explain. This is the chain of Hell. And I'm a sinner from Hell."
(End of Flashback)
'What is going on here?' After that final thought, Moka entered the shop and found twelve eyes on her and Tsukune.
"Oh no, Tsukune," Kurumu yelled worryingly.
"What happened," Yukari asked Moka, "Why is Tsukune unconscious? Is he still alive?!"
"Don't worry," Ruby said, "He's still breathing. He's just knocked out, that's all."
"So would you mind telling us what happened, sister," Kokoa asked her older sister.
"This better be good too," Gin said strictly, which was occasional for him.
"Alright already, we were trying to help Rukia fight off a creature," Moka finally said.
"Rukia," Yukari repeated the name for her soul reaper friend, "Is she okay?"
"She's fine, so don't worry."
"Were you helping her fight off one of those hollows," Mizore asked.
"It wasn't a hollow," Moka said, "At least, not anymore."
"What do you mean by 'not anymore'?" Ruby asked as she was healing Tsukune.
"He called himself a sinner," Moka answered, "A sinner from Hell."
Ruby and Yukari's eyes widen when Moka said that. "A SINNER," Yukari yelled, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
"You know what she's talking about," Kurumu asked the younger witch.
"Just like with soul reapers, witches are informed about sinners as well," Ruby explained, "Moka, did the attacker have a chain anywhere on his body?"
"Yes," Moka confirmed, "He had a chain on both of his wrists."
"And did he said that those chains are linked to Hell," Yukari asked.
"He did."
"There's just no way."
"No way for what," Kurumu asked, trying to put the pieces together.
"There's no way for a sinner to escape Hell," Ruby explained.
"Well, this one did," Moka said.
"What happened next," Gin asked.
"I tried to fight this creature but my kicks didn't the effect like it usually does. When it looked like me and Rukia were going to get choked to death, we loosened his cloak and he let us go to quickly fasten it."
"Maybe, that's how he escaped," Ruby suggested, "If he keeps that cloak on, he's free to back to the World of the Living whenever he wants. Moka, continue your story."
"As Rukia, another soul reaper named Renji, and I were about to finish him, he went back to Hell."
"If that's the case, we could be in trouble. He could come back next time, and he might not be alone."
"Ruby's right," Yukari said, "This guy could escape on his own unless he's working for someone else. These guys could be more dangerous than Fairy Tale."
"Don't worry about it," Gin said trying to calm the two witches down, "We still got a trump card just for things like this, right?"
"What are you talking about," Kokoa asked, "These guys aren't Fairy Tale."
"Okay then, we still got Ichigo, Nel, and the others."
"Nel's out of town remember," Mizore said to the werewolf, "And she won't be back for quite some time. Plus how would Ichigo help if he doesn't know happened."
"I'll tell him," Tsukune said waking up fully healed.
"Are you sure, Tsukune," Yukari asked.
"Yeah, if we want Ichigo to help us out against these guys, one of us has to tell him what happened."
"Alright then," Gin said, "Tsukune, you tell Ichigo tomorrow at school. The rest of us will be an eye out for signs of these guys attacking, understood."
The other newspaper club members nodded in agreement as they went to their rooms to they can get ready of school tomorrow. But let's go back in time to when Ichigo fought Ulquiorra on canopy of Las Noches. Ulquiorra was in his second released form and easily dominated Ichigo, eventually killing him. Orihime tried her best to heal her fallen friend as Uryu fought the espada. As Orihime's cries echo throughout Hueco Mundo, Ichigo rose again in a monstrous visage. Ulquiorra was surprised to see Ichigo alive, and was quickly overpowered. The battle shifted in Ichigo's favor with the hollowified vizard cutting down Ulquiorra and finishing him off with a red cero. That battle didn't just caught the attention of Shuren but it caught the attention of another figure trapped in Hell with the same objective as Shuren. Who is this figure and what does he want? Find out next time.
I hate to inform you that this is the last chapter Nel will be mentioned in the story. Don't flame for that. Please review and no flames.
