CHAPTER 10: Strange Occurrences

Disclaimer: don't own anything.

Urahara was stumped for the lack of a better word the crystal had been glowing for about 30 hours continuously now and it was putting him on the edge what is happening or what is going to happen. Sure he could ask assistance of the vizards, soul society and Ichigo's friends but this situation was unprecedented.

Tessai: Kisuke you have been glaring at that crystal for 4 hours now it would be better if you tell someone about it .

Kisuke: If you think i m going to contact Mayuri you can very well shove it. That man does not deserve to be called a man he gives scientists a bad name and as far as I know he might turn it into a weapon of destruction that may do more harm than good. So i repeat i am not going to ask him.

Tessai: Whatever you say just remember we have your best interests at heart and there is no point doing it alone I am not saying contact Mayuri but there are many more who are just as capable .

Kisuke: Ok I will see what I can do.

KARAKURA HIGH SCHOOL
the sun was shining brightly the birds were singing but for the Karakura soul reaper he could care less for this. Last night he had been doing rounds of the city and like the past week there was nothing literally nothing. It seemed that the hollows had taken a vacation from Karakura town and he wasn't told about it.

He was thinking about this as a duster smacked him on his forehead jarring him out of his thoughts.

Ichigo: Ouch!

Ochi-sensei: If you pay attention in class then you would have noticed that I am addressing you .

(He grumbled as he started paying attention to class )

Keigo sighed as he took in the appearance of his class. Lounging in the back bench of the class he sighed as he thought how many people might remember if he left or more appropriately how many people will notice his absence at all. He chuckled as he remembered the trials and tribulations faced by him on account of his friends especially Rukia whose arrival had opened a can of worms as soon as she made her appearance in Karakura and had transformed most of his friends no acquaintances for the better or worse he did not know neither did he care for it was not his problem he had his own issues to take care of.

Uryuu was intrigued things were changing he knew but unlike Ichigo he did not need to patrol the city to know of the presence of hollows he could simply concentrate for a second and he knew if there had been a hollow or not and surprisingly no hollow appearance meant they were planning something sinister in nature.

Sadao /Chad was a quiet person who usually kept things to himself. His friends were anxious he knew but what was the cause of their anxiety was unknown to him.

Orihime was a happy person a person who experienced joy at the most mundane of things and thus she was thinking about someone who was not Ichigo which was strange as always thought about him but she had been thinking about Keigo of all people she used to think that she all knowing like some fairy who knew when someone was sad or depressed and could cure him/her with a wave of her hand. But few days ago after speaking to Mizuru she had been reviewing about what she knew about it him and surprisingly it wasn't much she realised that when he spoke everyone spoke to everyone else it was like they had formed a circle and he was outside the circle trying to get in but failing. Even when he spoke he could talk for hours together and still you would know nothing about him. It was like talking standing on a mountain you could hear him but you can't understand him.
