Chapter Twenty Five: Wind

Some time has passes since Keiti's possession. Keiti was inside Urahara's shop. She could see that Orihime and Tessai were busy healing the others. She could hear Ichigo and the others talking in the other room.

Ichigo was fully healed and was talking to Hitsugaya.
"Hey nice timing but how'd you know to come?" Ichigo asked

"Squad 12 has been picking up some weird energy signals form Karakuda. We were sent to investigate and provide you support. We figured you'd be involved somehow." Histugaya replied.

"Ok Soul Society isn't taking any chances. I guess I should answer some questions you might have." Ichigo said glad he finally had information Soul Society didn't

"I let the higher ups know all about the hollows and the star princesses from our mission to stop Stella. My question is what was with Shuren. That guy was acting - weird." Renji added joining in on the conversation.

"I don't know but he left right after Keiti returned to normal. I wonder what that was all about." Ichigo replied. "Even stranger Yasuhiro seemed angered by it all and doesn't seem to want to talk to anyone. I don't think I'll ever understand hollows."

'He's right,' Keiti thought, 'Shuren was acting weirder than normal. I wondered what had happened with him. Why did he say those things to help me get back to normal? What made him come? I didn't promise Shuren a song, I promised the prince of the Sun kingdom one. That doesn't make any sense at all. I don't understand.'

Keiti felt the uneasiness in her stomach. She placed her arms around it while crouching in pain. Until she knows what it is, she would stop worrying about it.

'But why is my stomach acting up. I really needed someone or a doctor to check up on this!'

Yasuhiro sat in a corner in the shop's storage room examining his pendant. He tossed it in the air and it froze mid flight. Yasuhiro knew what this was, that voice had returned.

"You're back. I need answers. Who are you; your name? Did you possess Keiti?" Yasuhiro said surprised his haunt had returned.

"The Black Star controlled her. I am another; A Colorless Star. The one that shines no light teaches me. You will teach me as well." The ominous voice that has been haunting him spoke.

"Fine, I will call you 'Wind' as that is the most appropriate name I have for you. Now Wind what do you need me to teach you?" Yasuhiro said.

"None will come for you as they did her. Will they try to strike you down?" Wind's voice echoed.

Yasuhiro's pendant fell to the ground. Wind was gone. Yasuhiro picked up his pendant and left the room to walk around. He noticed Keiti was still in bed. He entered the room and took a seat.

"Keiti-denkai, I'm taking the others to the Sea Shell Galaxy. Everything should be in order by now. When you feel better join us there." He said before leaving the room.

Keiti heard everything.

'If he is taking everyone to the Seashell Galaxy, I don't feel like going. One, I lost a lot of energy and two, my stomach is really acting up. Now I have a craving for pudding. Wait, I never eat pudding but I have a craving for it. Maybe if I just sleep, this would be all over.'

Keiti went back to sleep.

Yasuhiro and the star princesses along with Ichigo, Aya, and Haseo arrived at what was left of Olivia's kingdom. Hitsugaya and the other soul reapers stayed in Karakuda town to protect the town. The others stayed behind at Uraharas.

Several buildings had been reconstructed by Yasuhiro's hollows. They had already restored a quarter of the kingdom to normal.

"Thank you Yasuhiro!" Olivia said ecstatic that her kingdom was coming back to life.

"You're welcome Olivia. We plan to restore your palace last. Ichigo have you fully recovered? I've a task for you." Yasuhiro said.

"Yeh" Ichigo said before realizing why he had asked. The hollow that had attacked everyone before was here. He quickly drew his sword. "Is this some type of trap?" Ichigo said surprised by all of this.

"Don't rush to conclusions like that. Under the old law fights started must be finished fairly. Fighting on behalf the star princess is you Ichigo. You and Yoriyuki will battle in the ruins of Olivia's castle. Ichigo you are forbidden to use your hollow powers." Yasuhiro stated before his stunned crowd.

"What?" Ichigo said. Looks like he has no choice but to do this. But why do they have to fight?
