"You're late." Fuzen pointed out standing at the entrance of his family house glaring down at me with his arms over his chest.

"Yeah, sorry about that!" I rubbed the back of my head giving him a smile. "I smashed into a fruit cart and had to help clean up the mess."

Fuzen rolled his eyes motioning for me to follow him. "This means double the work for you."

I sent him a challenging smirk wanting to get the earlier event out of my mind. "Bring it."

He smirked right back seemingly pleased with my response. "I will make you regret those words."

He slid open a door to his families built in wrestling training room, they are avid fans of the sport. I let out an impressed whistle looking at all the expensive weight training equipment and thick floor mats.

"Oh!" Akuma smirked tossing a weighted medicine ball at Daichi. "Prom Queen decided to grace us with her presence."

I stuck my tongue out at him before an unmanly scream attracted my attention to the two figures locked together on a mat.

"Karisssaaaa!" Keigo squealed trapped in a 'Kimura' by Kiyoshi. "Saaave me! He's going to break my arm off!"

Kiyoshi laughed at the males pleas and let him go before restarting the match making Keigo cry and beg for it to stop.

"Why is he here?"

Fuzen raised a large eyebrow at me. "You forgot? He's your replacement. Ain't a very good on though."

The vague memory of this popped in my head. "I guess that makes me responsible for him then."

"I've been trying to toughen him up." Fuzen sighed shaking his head as Keigo was caught in another submission hold. "Buuut, he's still crying like a girl."

"Sounds about right." I smiled before earning a punch to my arm.

"Get moving." Fuzen was back in grouchy pants mode. "Today is going to be hell for you!"

He started me out with push up, sit ups, and pull ups before sending me on a jog around the room for twenty minutes. After that came weightlifting and bench pressing.

Fuzen ran me through a few holds and blocks before testing me on what I learned. He wasn't pleased when he found out I forgot most of the moves.

"They will dispose of him for you. Just ask. They can help you hold me once more."

What the fuck? I shivered as the unfamiliar voice echoed through my mind in a sickly sweet voice. It tugged at something inside of me creating a weird sense of longing in my chest.

"Were you always this fast?" Kiyoshi asked eyes narrowed in disbelief as he panted beside me.

"Ye-"

"Don't lie!" Daichi shrieked pouting a finger at me. "I was always able to be you bu-but now…" He pouted at me like I told him he couldn't have a cookie.

"The hell kind of camping trip where you on?" Akuma asked poking my arms. "You weren't this buff before."

"Buff? Toned!" I hissed at the manly term. "I'm toned!"

"Whatever She-Hulk!" Akuma laughed waving me off.

"It was the Kurosaki kid huh?" Kiyoshi deducted with a nod making me tense. "You guys probably had all kinds of crazy competitions."

"Yep." I agreed to the cover up patting my arm muscles. "Got these during boat rowing."

"Musta been one hell of a boat." Fuzen commented before the unmanly shriek echoed through the room once more.

We all looked at Keigo, who had rivers of tears steaming down his face, as he squirmed under the weight of a bar with more weight than he can handle.

The guys rushed over yanking the bar off of him before it crushed his wind pipe while I silently thanked him for the distraction.

"Idiot!" Fuzen barked cuffing the brown haired boy. "Yer weak! Why would you try this much weight without a spotter?"

"I wanted to impress our wrestling goddess!" he yelled in defense disabling Fuzen's anger with the subject he was most uncomfortable with; Girls.

"Huh? Who's the goddess?" Daichi chirped looking at Fuzen since he knows everything there is to know about the sport.

"Don't worry about it, Squirt." Akuma said placing his palm on top of Daichi's head making the smaller boy pout.

"Kiss it better?" He asked showing me his neck. "Pweeeeaaaaaassee~"

I rolled my eyes at his theatrics, I've been immune to them for years, before pressing three fingers to my lips then pressing them to his neck.

"What a beautiful romance~" Kiyoshi grinned vowing to train Keigo up to my standards in record time.

"Geh!" Fuzen grimaced pointing to the entrance. "Get that mushy crap outta here!"

I snickered at how uncomfortable it made him while Akuma declared practice to be over and to show up again tomorrow at the same time.

Clingy Keigo pounced on me while I messaged James to pick me up. My leg muscles were on fire there is no why in hell I was walking besides the man was already out and about.

"I don't wanna go home~" He whined giving me the sad puppy face. "Lets hang out~"

"Keigo it's too hot for that~" I said pushing him off of me. "I'm going on errands with James if you want to tag along."

Akuma heard and said he wanted to tag along before he whispered something in Keigo's ear which made them both blush and giggle. I narrowed my eyes in suspicion at the two teenage boys as the grinned and high fived.

"Oi!" I barked. "The fuck are you two planning?"

"Babe watching!" they cheered in unison throwing up a fist. "Ogle all the boobies~"

"Boys." I snorted rolling my eyes as the silver Ford rolled into view.

"What are we doing here?" I asked knowing this place is full of doom and gloom. The DMV, sucker of souls. "Damnit, knew I should of walked home."

"I have to renew my license and get tags." He grumbled searching through the parking lot for a spot big enough to contain his large truck. "Stupid papers got lost in the mail."

James managed to steal a spot from another driver, the damn place was packed, and we finally went in.

"Is that who I think it is?" I narrowed my eyes at the man sitting behind the desk tripping people when they stood in my line of sight.

Long black hair, extremely pale complexion, frowning lips, and emotionless green eyes. All he was missing was the long green tear trails on his face but I guess getting a job with them would be difficult. I snickered when his eyes met mine, he just blinked and got back to work.

Ulquiorra. No doubt about it. I snorted a laugh at the idea, it seems so surreal to see him doing something so human. The DMV job suits him though.

I jumped up from my spot when the customer he was helping left ignoring the questions thrown at my by Keigo and Akuma. I was done listening to their conversation on boobs.

"Oi~" I grinned at the Arrancar… or is he going by human now?, and leaned in so I couldn't be heard by anyone else. "How you doin'?"

He didn't look up from his paper work. "I am fine. You need to wait your turn. Please return to your seat."

I rolled my eyes. "Listen, Can you cut us a deal? Sneak us a set of tags?"

"That is against regulations."

"Dick!" I hissed glaring at him. "I saved your ass! You can save us a couple of bucks!"

"That is irrelevant to this situation." He wasn't even fazed by my anger. He glanced up for a second. "Our debt has been repaid."

"What?" I thought back to the Hueco Mundo events trying to figure out when he did something for me. Nothing came to mind. "When the fuck did that happen?"

"I can help B forty-six." He said over me gesturing for me to leave. "I will not hesitate to call security."

I huffed glaring at the man before knocking over his cup of pens and storming away hissing insults about him. "Stupid ungrateful emo!"

Akuma snickered as I threw myself into the plastic chair next to him. "Was he not fazed by your 'charm'?" he made air quotes before moving to stretch. I punched his arm. "He's looks like he swing the other way anyway… or is into corpses."

I wonder what he'd say when I told him that Orihime had a little fling going on with said gay/necrophilia loving attendant.

Keigo made a noise of disagreement shaking his head. "I think he's one of those guys that like to be controlled by a dominatrix~."

"Kids these days." James groaned scrubbing his face with his hand while I chuckled at their assumptions. "I blame Lady Gaga."

I went back to staring intensely at the Arrancar. Where the hell was he staying? With Orihime most likely.

Six hours later, James was called to Ulquiorra's table. That's right six hours of my life wasted at the DMV listening to two boys ramble on and on about the wonders of the female body I started talking about sexy muscled men just to get them to shut up for a little while.

"Have you seen David Beckham shirtless? YUM!" I licked my lips for added effect. "Don't get me started on Robert Downing Jr. I would totally 'iron;' his 'man'" I nudged Akuma with my elbow and winked. "If you know what I mean~"

"My eyes!" The boys screeched in horror clawing at their hair. "The mental images burn!"

I grinned wicked. "Mmmm. Chiseled abs and muscular arms~"

Keigo turned towards me, rivers of tears flowing from his eyes. "Please stop!"

"We give!" Akuma said holding his hands up in surrender.

"Already?" I raised an eyebrow. "Wimps. I thought you'd put up a better fight than that."

"What a cool guy." James said losing the angry look he'd been wearing since we had arrived. "He gave me tag voucher for next year and this~" He held up a squishy foam ball with the DMV logo imprinted on the side.

I blinked looking at said cool guy before smiling and leaving with the now silent teenagers.

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

"Kyaaaaaaaaa!"

I dashed up stairs shadowed closely by James, who whipped out a hand grenade from his junk drawer filled with assorted dangerous things, and two panicked teenagers.

Standing on top of the toilet seat was my mom waving a roller brush and the plunger at my little Hollow babies, who were huddled in the corner where the bath meets the wall.

"Mom, it's cool." I smiled bending down to scoop up the petrified Hollows. "They are my… pets."

"P-pets?" She shrieked waving a round brush precariously through the air. "Cats! Dogs! Fish! Are pets not… freaky holed monsters!"

I gaped hiding them from her scornful gaze by snuggling them tightly into my chest. We must look retarded in Akuma's eyes, he couldn't see them. "They are cute! Deformities and all!"

"What is cu-" Keigo lunged forward distracting Akuma "Panties! Karissa's panties are cute! Claire doesn't like all the holes in them though. "

"Why does she have holes in her panties?" He asked skeptically

"One word man." Keigo placed a hand on Akuma's shoulder leaning closer to the boys' ear. "Ventilation."

"Oh…Gross?"

"Nah man!" Keigo said while I coaxed my mom to put down her makeshift weapons. "She needs 'em cause she gets so hot whenever I'm around."

"Fucking Keigo!" I wasn't sure whether to be annoyed or relieved. Thank god Glub-Glub and Zilla were in my arms or I would have face palmed… or hit his dumbass.

"How did the subject get changed from those mo-"

I tensed frantically searching for a way out of this.

"You have a grey, hag."

"NOOOOOO!"

"…Mom your hair is silver." I said awkwardly trying to console the hysterical woman. "Even if you had one it'll unnoticeable."

She let out a wail that sent the boys running. "Next I'm going to look like the Crypt Keeper!"

I was shoved out of the bathroom as she began frantically searching for the grey James mentioned. Shaking, my head I looked down at the Hollows in my arms wonder how they got so big overnight. Both of them were the size of a bobcat now.

"A grenade, seriously?" I asked in disbelief looking at the weapon in his hand.

He shrugged with a grin. "It was the first thing I grabbed, kid. Not the most useful in a house scenario but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, hot pants!"

I blushed knowing Akuma is never going to let that go before thanking James, and punching him in the arm for insulting my mom, for the distraction, even though it was rude.

"Weak punch." James grinned taking the Hollows from me. "Go have for with your harem. Claire and your dad said you can have the barbeque or whatever on Saturday."

Akuma eyed me warily as I walked back into the living room. "Your pants aren't going to combust right?"

"As long as Keigo stays within arms distance, I should be safe."

Keigo gaped realizing he couldn't do what he knows and loves; cling onto his friends, preferably the female ones. I could tell Akuma didn't believe Keigo's lie but he decided not to question it.

"Anyway, we're having a party…barbeque…thing here on Saturday so lets go find people and invite them over."

They both gave me a sour expression before Akuma said "But you have a cellphone…"

"Really? I hadn't noticed!" I deadpanned. "I want to tell them face to face beside we've got nothing better to do." They didn't need to know I was doing this to avoid doing homework.

"You know what this means?"

"Babe watching!"

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

In less than an hour and a half we ran into Mizuiro, Afro-San, Chad, Orihime and Ulquiorra and gave them the place and time for Saturday. I was right about Ulquiorra staying with Orihime.

After Keigo treated us to lunch we were back in town weaving our way through crowds until I spotted a familiar red headed girl.

"Oi, we forgot Chizuru!" I barked rushing after the red haired girl.

"A girl! Sweet~" Akuma grinned thinking of all the possible pick up lines he would use. "I was thinking we needed more jiggly bits~"

Keigo smirked at the senior. "Her jiggly bits aren't into dangly bits."

"Bummer." Akuma snapped his fingers in disappointment "She pretty hot too."

"Agreed, my friend."

"Oh my lovely She-Devil~" Chizuru cooed startling the person who happened to walk between us. "Forgive my hostility!"

She coerced me into a tight bone crushing hug. "Everyone accepted me for who I am so I should do the same for all of you."

"Oi, it's cool!" I smiled wriggling around to loosen her grasp. "It's a lot to take in!"

Chizuru had flipped out when Ichigo told her everything about what was going on. She wanted absolutely nothing to do with it and us.

"Oh!" She got all teary eyed before hugging even tighter making me more uncomfortable than I already was. "You're too good to meeeeeeeee!"

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

"That girl!" Yumichika hissed snapping his cell phone shut. "Why doesn't she answer when I call?"

Ikkaku shrugged, knowing better than trying to understand how a woman thinks, and continued to walk to down the familiar path to Karissa's house looking for any potential opponents namely said girl or Ichigo Kurosaki.

"What the fuck, Kar-" Ikkaku paused staring at the silver haired woman, she looked like Karissa but older. His Shinigami instincts bristled. Was she some kind of imposter?

"Who the hell are you?"

Her glare darkened before she grabbed another cooking knife. "Who am I? You're the one barging into peoples homes!"

"You don't live here." Ikkaku snapped ignoring whatever Yumichika was trying to tell him.

"How would you know?" She sneered putting her hands on her hips ignoring the fact she almost cut herself on the knife. "You some kind of stalker? Tying to get into my baby girls britches?"

Ikkaku made a face at the sneering female. "Listen lady you're in the wrong house."

"I'm in the wrong house!"

James walked in hearing the commotion and took in the atmosphere with amusement. "Simmer down, Claire that's Ikkaku and Yumichika. They stay here from time to time."

"Ikkaku?" She raised an interested eyebrow. That's when Ikkaku realized that this woman and Karissa were related. "I can't say I approve. Fucking bald bastard has no manners."

Yumichika laughed. "You've hit the nail on the head."

"I shave my head!" Ikkaku barked pointing to his smooth cranium. "It's a style!"

The silver haired woman sneered at Ikkaku once more. "Style? Honey bald never been fashionable!"

Ikkaku fumed reaching toward the wooden sword attached to his belt loop.

"I can't say I agree." Yumichika shook his head. "It's a style only certain people can pull off and I think he does it well."

Her eye looked Ikkaku up and down like she was gauging a piece of meat. "Do you wax your head because you don't even have a little fuzz"

Ikkaku's need to fight out his frustrations skyrocketed when the two began to discuss possible hair style that would suit his face.

"Damnit, Karissa get your ass back home."

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

Keigo, Akuma, and I split up after a few more hours of wandering around the shopping district. I decided to head over to Uryu's apartment and talk to him about the boy I ran into earlier.

"Are you sure haven't encountered this boy before?" He asked tersely with an annoyed look.

"You still sore about that?" I teased earning a pinch to my nose. I rubbed my nose pouting. "I don't care that he knows my name, I want to know why no one else could see him."

He was definitely interested and troubled. "Can you describe him with more detail?"

"Ummm… he had brown hair and dressed in a school uniform…"

Uryu sighed trying not to get frustrated with me. "What colors were the uniform?"

"Tan and… lavender?" I was never good at with colors. My knowledge is limited to the basics "There was a gold and red crest on his left breast pocket!" .

"That's Shiyouku Academy." He informed me, eyes narrowing. "It's over an hour away. Which means you would have never met that boy. They should also be on winter break, so there is no reason for him to be wearing the uniform."

"Oi! How do you know that?"

"Shiyouku Academy is a private school catering to wealthy families." He said almost in a mumble, which made me raise an eyebrow. Uryu never mumbles. "I was supposed to attend high school there."

He paused turning back to me with an indescribable look. I snorted realizing he didn't want to open up. "You don't have to tell about your personal shit." He nodded and resumed.

"I believe you are right." Damnit, this is the second time we've agreed on something. "Something is going on, if this is true, you and I will remain on high alert but do try to be subtle so we have the advantage."

"Should we fill in the others?"

"Not at this moment." He shook his head, lacing his fingers on the countertop. "We tell them when we figure out if this a real situation or not."

"Okay."

Uryu eyed me warily. "That's it? No arguments about leadership?"

"Yep." I popped the 'p' before looking around for something to snack on. "You're better at shit like this than I am so if you say it's best to let them strike first then so be it."

"Who are you?" He seemed to be serious but the slightest twinge pulled his lips in a barely there smile.

"Was…was that a joke?" I feigned surprise before resuming my search "So, you got any snacks?"

"There is fruit on the table."

I wrinkled my nose at him before making a face at said fruit. "I don't like fruit."

He looked at me disbelief shining in his eyes. "You don't like fruit?"

"Nope. Not a fan. I fucking love vegetables though." I said watching him open a steel cabinet. I love talking about food, it's probably one of my favorite subjects. Plus it was neutral ground. "What foods do you like?"

Uryu seemed surprised at my sudden interest in anything that has to do with him but brushed it off setting a bag of pretzels on the table.

"I like Okonomiyaki." he answered heading back into the kitchen. "Will that hold you over for a moment?"

I nodded stuffing a handful into my cheek watching him turn on his rice cooker and pull out assorted vegetables.

"Lemme help~" I grinned taking the knife from his hand. "What foods don't you like?"

Once again, he seemed to be surprised but nodded giving me a quiet 'very well' and moving back to search his fridge. "I'm not a fan of tomatoes, scrambled eggs, or salty fish."

"Interesting." I smiled finishing up on the cabbage "What are we making?"

"Just a quick stir-fry." He stopped cutting the beef in small strips and looked at me. "There is a seasoning packet for it in the cabinet to your right, could you grab it?"

I nodded grabbing said packet, reading the back I began doing as instructed while Uryu brewed fresh tea.

We worked with each other in a companionable silence. It was surprisingly comfortable and fun. A few minutes later, everything was done and we both sat down to eat.

This moment reminded me too much of the scene in Step Brothers where the two suddenly become BFFs. I smirked deciding to use a note out of that book.

"Did we just become best friends?" I asked seriously. "Do you wanna do karate in the garage?"

"Pardon?" He really looked taken back by the question which made me start laughing. This seemed to unnerve him even more. "Are you alright?"

"Listen, I know that we started out as foe." I started placing a hand on his shoulder. He narrowed his eyes. "but after that marvelous meal you just gave me, maybe someday we could be come friends. Friends who ride majestic, translucent steeds, shooting flaming arrows across the bridge of Hemdale!"

He looked at me funny for a second. "You watch too many movies!"

I laughed at his annoyed look placing my dish where he told me to. "I'm serious! You fed me! Think of me as a stray cat, feed me one and I'll keep coming back~"

"I don't like cats. I think they are hideous" He stated rinsing both of our dishes off. "Not even Yoruichi-San's cat form."

I snorted thinking of how negatively Yoruichi would take that facts before offering him a piece of information about myself.

"I'm afraid of monkeys. Everything about them creeps me out but what gets me the most is how smart and strong they are."

His lips quirked into the barely there smile again. "Then why do you hang around with the eleventh division?"

"Eleventh division isn't smart therefore they aren't monkey ergo I'm safe." I laughed surprised by the outcome of this little venture but pleased nonetheless. "I should get going. Thanks for all this~"

"Of course, I was raised to be a good host." Uryu stood up from his seat walking me to the door. "Good evening, Evans."

"Night!"

A few steps away from his door he spoke.

"I am afraid of failure."

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

"Well hello there miss here-is-my-number-but-when-you-call-I-won't-answer~" Yumichika sung from his spot on the couch as I walked through the door.

"I left my phone here." I said raising an eyebrow watching my mom trip his precious locks of hair as they resumed talking about shampoo brands.

James sighed from the kitchen opening a can of beer. "I'm convinced they are long lost twins. Things got so annoying between them baldy took off shouting about pummeling carrot top. I didn't even know the Japanese knew about that guy."

I snorted at James. "He means Ichigo not the comedian!"

Pops came out of his lab and pointed at the desk containing my make up work. "You've been out playing all day now get it done."

It was my turn to sigh and frown. "Fine."

'This just in the missing student from Shiyouku Academy.' My eyes dialed in on the TV. I paid close attention ignoring Pops protests to get back to work. 'Was found dead this morning.'

James turned the volume up so it could be heard clearly over Moms shower singing. They showed a picture for the boy and my heart nearly stopped. It was the same boy who bumped into me.

'Kobiyashi Yukito has been missing for nearly two weeks and after an extensive search. Park rangers found his body near Mount Fujiyama National Park.' They showed an image of the park entrance surrounded by emergence personnel and vehicles. 'The coroner has determined the boy to be dead for nearly a week.'

I tuned out after that, staring blankly at the TV as I thought back to the encounter. He wasn't a ghost so how on earth did I run into him yesterday but he's been dead for a week.

I jumped to my feet deciding I was going to need help solving this and I need to tell Uryu that we did have a situation on our hands. Pops stopped me from walking to my room.

Pops stared long and hard at me before letting out a sigh. Was that disappointment in his eyes? "Do… whatever you have to do."

I hesitated for a second before flipping my cell phone open on my way to my room telling Yumichika not to worry about it when he asked if I needed help.

"Hello?"

"He's dead." I blurted out. "They say he's been dead for nearly a week."

"I'll meet you at the park." He answered after a moment of thoughtful silence then promptly hung up the phone.

I threw on my running shoes before slipping on a light jacket heading outside waving at my startled Mom.

"Where are you going honey?"

"To meet a boy!" I yelled back knowing she'd let it drop. Like I thought, she let out a squeal telling me she didn't want grandbabies just yet but to have fun anyway.

I barked a laugh at the thought of Uryu, of all people, and I having children or even getting anywhere near physical contact.

My thoughts trailed back to the Kobiyashi Yukito as I weaved past people in a rush.

"Did he have a twin?"

"Was he a zombie?" I slapped my forehead, much to the curiosity of passersby, dismissing that thought.

"Maybe someone has the ability to make bodies decompose faster than natural?" I looked around the park for any sign of Uryu. He was no where is sight so I sat on the bench still deep in thought. "A shapeshifter perhaps?"

Whatever the case, we needed more information on Kobiyashi Yukito. I ran a hand through my hair annoyed at how stressed I was. Situations like this are definitely not my cup of tea.

Uryu showed up five minutes later and sat beside me listening intently as I told him about the news announcement.

"You're positive about this?" He asked for the third time.

"Yes!" I suggested deciding I would go with our without him. "We should go to the academy to get more info on him. "

"It's closed." He blew off that suggestion leaning forward onto his elbows. "And I doubt they would just hand out information to two random teenagers. Especially since he has just be murdered."

I smirked at Uryu. "I wasn't planning on asking for permission."

"Absolutely not!" Uryu barked glaring at me. "That's illegal!"

"Won't matter if we don't get caught."

"We?" He hissed in outrage. "What do you mean we? Don't include me in your criminal activity!"

"She meant her and Mashiro!" The familiar green haired girl pulled me into a one armed hug. "We're going to be the bestest detectives ever~"

"Duhhhh, Oreo-Chan~" I grinned slinging my arm over her shoulder. "You really thought I meant you?"

"Quit acting all chummy!" Uryu barked point and accusing finger at us. "You to have never talked before!"

"Okay partner!" She gave me a salute ignoring the bristling Quincy. "Where to first?"

I laughed at her antics. "I want to go to where they found his body."

"To find his ghost?" she asked and I nodded.

Uryu stood up pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. "I will accompany to Mount Fujiyama but I'm not going to the academy."

I nodded turning away from him with a smirk. His curiosity is going to get the better of him. He's just like the cats he hates oh so much.

"How far is it?" Mashiro asked Uryu while rocking back and forth on her heels.

I looked around the area as we walked getting that weird longing sensation once again. I didn't mention the voice to Uryu when I visited him. Maybe I should but that'd be to embarrassing.

"Maaaashiro super speed~"

Before I could comprehend what happened, the green haired Vizard had thrown us over her shoulder and transported us near Mount Fujiyama.

"Holy crap!" I gaped at her noticing the same material the Arrancar masks are formed of had formed as some kind of leggings on Mashiro.

"Super impressive right?" She beamed chest puffing up with pride. "I can sustain my Hollow longer than any other Vizard!"

"Speaking of Vizards." I said watching as Uryu scoped out the area, the place was crawling with police still. "How is Hiyori?"

She smiled wistfully putting her arms behind her head. "She's all better now! Still super grumpy though!"

I laughed at her Hiyori impression before asking about the other Vizard.

"Shinji and Kensei are Captains again!" She chirped happily. "The rest of us are still living in Karakura t- I'll kill it!"

I blinked before following her line of sight. I jumped into action knocking the girl off balance saving the reptilian Hollow.

"Zilla?" I picked up the Hollow before Mashiro crushed him. "What are you doing here?"

The Hollow made a series of clicking noises and I nodded along.

"You talk to Hollows?" Mashiro gaped in shock.

"You just wanted to see mama didn't you!" I cooed scratching behind his mask. "Glub-Glub get over here and give mama some lovin'!"

"There are no ghosts here." Uryu said confidently unfazed by me snuggling Hollows.

I smirked slyly into Glub-Glub's side. "Well you better get going then since you have laws to abide."

I waved pulling Mashiro to the direction Uryu told us the academy was in. "I'm sure Mashiro and I can handle this."

I smirked hearing his footsteps following after us and him sigh in defeat.

"Someone has to make sure you don't make too big of a mess."

"Whatever help you sleep at night~"

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

Mashiro used her super speed to get us in front of the gated school, which was massive and ornate, making it look kind of like a haunted house.

"Oh~" She grinned making a spooky face. "That's creepy!"

"Right?" I grinned letting the Hollows squirming in my arms go. The sniffed around making soft hissing sounds.

"You both are too loud! Quiet down or we're going to get caught!" Uryu snapped sending daggers at the Vizard and I.

"Relax puss-puss~" I said walking around to the electrical room knowing a school like this would have security cameras and alarms. "We'll be fine."

"Don't call me that!" He snapped as Mashiro began chanting 'puss-puss' just to irritate him.

We walked into the electrical room after Mashiro crawled through the window and unlocked the door.

"Someone already shut it off…"

All three of our heads snapped to the building trying to see if we could detect any movement.

"Do you sense any Reiatsu?" I asked figuring they would be better at detecting it the I am as I quietly made my way into the school listening for any sounds.

My heartbeat increased, drumming loudly in my ears as the hairs on my arms stood on end as adrenaline began pumping through my veins. I pulled out Skoll and Hati just in case.

"It's faint." Uryu whispered as I cleared a few classrooms getting his bow ready.

"It's human." Mashiro added a little to loudly making us wince.

Something dropped a few floors above us spurring us to hurry up there as quietly as we could.

A figure moved around in the administrative room contain the student files. We all tensed before moving into action seeing a flicker of flame.

Mashiro kicked the door in making him drop the files and the lighter he was attempting to burn.

"He burnt the file!" Uryu said brushing of some of the ashes.

I glared at the figure hiding in the shadows before he stared to chuckle, deep and throaty. He lunched forward and I automatically fired a round. He dodged.

Just before he reached Mashiro, he grabbed the end of his cape and did that swooshing motion Dracula did before disappearing only to reappear in the hallway.

"Maaaashiroooo super speed~" she cut off his exit. "That's rude! We only wanna talk!"

I aimed my guns at hi back as he hissed at Mashiro. Uryu stood beside me aiming his bow.

"Who are you?" He demanded. "And why did you burn Kobiyashi Yukito's file?"

"I am Vladimir." He answered in a obviously fake Transylvanian accent. "I vill dispose of vou here and now."

"Shit's fake as hell!" I laughed not intimidated by the man in the least. C'mon? A vampire how lame is that?

"No." He frowned "Vis is how I talk. I'm vam from Transylvania"

"Maaaashiroooo drop kick!"

Mashiro attacked dropkicking the Dracula imposter across the hallway. The kick was vicious and looked like it had enough force behind it to burst internal organs. I let out a whistle high fiving the cheerful Vizard.

"Try not to break anything!" Uryu snapped making sure none of the lockers where damaged in the process.

"Except for him right?" I asked with a smirk narrowing my eyes at the vampire.

"No!" Uryu barked sound exasperated. "He could have vital information!"

I formed an 'O' with my mouth and nodded feeling stupid that he had to explain that.

"I von't tell vou a thing." He stated stepping into the moonlight. "Vou'll have to do better then vat."

He was lanky and pale with listless black hair and brown eyes. He was pretty normal looking besides the weird Halloween like Dracula cape.

Mashiro unleashed another round of intense kicks on Vladimir only managing to hit the floor and a couple of unfortunate lockers. I aimed but didn't pull the triggers. He was moving to quick to get a good shot in plus I didn't want to hit Mashiro on accident.

"We need to corner him." Uryu said as Vladimir slipped under Mashiro's legs. I nodded before spotting another figure in the building.

"There is another person!" I barked switching my gun towards the larger form standing at the stairs.

"Vun! I vill handle vem!" Vladimir shouted. The figure ran back down the stair with me hot on his heels.

"Help her!" Mashiro yelled landing a sharp kick to Vladimir's jaw. "I can handle him!"

Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach!Bleach

The figure ran into the gymnasium before swiveling around to face me. I squinted trying to make out any features in the darkness. All I got what he was a fatty which wasn't helpful in the least.

"Are you the one who killed that kid?" I asked when the figure just stood their panting.

"Depends…" He huffed sounding amused. "One which kid you're talking about."

"It's fucking obvious isn't it?" I snapped glaring at the mass. Uryu ran into the room training his bow on the huffing and puffing figure.

"Oi," I looked at Uryu. "We only need one person to talk right?"

The figure tensed before letting out a booming laugh. "You are amusing, Karissa!"

I jerked when my name slipped past his lips and fired a round near his foot. The bastard didn't even flinch.

"Look out!" Mashiro's voice called from behind but it was too late.

Vladimir knocked us both out of the way before grabbing on to the large man disappearing into the shadows with a laugh just as the doors slammed open letting in a blindingly bright light flow in.

"Both of you!" an commanding voice barked as a bright light was pointed on the two of us. "Stop! Police!" Like we couldn't tell by the blue and red flashing lights.

"Come out with your hands in the air! We have you surrounded."

"Get outta here"! I told the girl haired Vizard. She pouted shaking her head in disagreement. "Go!"

Uryu added just before the girl bounded off in a flash. "Inform Urahara-San of the situation."

I looked to Uryu. His face was grim as he slowly raised his arms nodding for me to do the same. I frowned becoming nervous. I am so dead when I get home. I even felt bad for dragging Uryu into this.

"You've managed to jinx us once again." He commented shakily.

"Fuck." I hissed glaring into the mocking shadows while raising my arms. "I should have duct tape over my mouth."

"We're here to try and stop him from killing himself. That's all. If they ask anything else don't answer. You accompanied me to help a friend that is all you know."

I nodded. I owe him big time for this.

"Now slowly walk towards my voice." The cop demanded.

We did as we were told before two officers moved forward maneuvering our hands behind our backs and slapping ice cold handcuffs around our wrists. The officers lead us to separate cars.

That sweet voiced filled my head once more. "They would kneel before you. If only they let you have me."

Before she could push me into the car, I turned and asked. "Why are we under arrest?"

"For starters, two accounts of possession of a deadly weapon." She said removing said deadly weapons. "Breaking and entering. Destruction of private property. Trespassing on Private Property. And here's the kicker."

She paused frisking me for any other forms of contraband. Finding nothing else she ushered me into the backseat.

"You are under arrest as a suspect for murder."

"What?"
