Author's Note: Hello everyone, I'm back with another chapter. This one was a bit difficult to write, since Chad already got his powers earlier and I had to come up with battle scenes for Karin and Yuzu. It might not be good but I hope you all enjoy it and thank you to all those you have favorited and followed this story.

Chapter 16: Debut of the Kurosaki-Shiba Twins
{Opening Theme: "*~Asterisk~" by ORANGE RANGE}
[July 18, 2001]
Ichigo and Uryū continue to staring down each other while Kon kneels behind Ichigo.
"Okay. Now tell me what the rules are for this thing. Let's get started already." Ichigo says crossing his arms. "Huh?" He asks in confusion as he watches Uryū reach into his shirt pocket and pulls out a small, round, white tablet.
"We'll use this to begin. It'll help." Uryū says.
"Huh? And what is that?" Ichigo asks in confusion.
"This is Tai-Horōyō no Makie (Scatter-Bait for use against Hollows), better known as…" Uryū begins to say.
"Hollow Bait." Ichigo says as his eyes widen knowing what Uryū was planning.
"Correct. If I crush this, Hollows will start gathering here quickly."
"What the hell?" Ichigo asks in anger.
"The rules here are quite simple. Whoever kills the most Hollows in 24 hours will be the winner. Simple, isn't it? Even you can understand how that works." Uryū says while insulting Ichigo at the same time.
"That won't work. What are you thinking? Doing that would put everyone who lives here in danger. This battle's just between us." Ichigo says angry that the Quincy would even consider putting innocent people in danger just to prove his superiority.
"Why are you making such a big deal about this? Believe me, no one is going to get hurt, because I know I will be able to wipe out every single Hollow that shows up here." Uryū says making Ichigo groan.
'I really hope mom wasn't like this during her time as a Quincy.' Ichigo thought.
"If you had more confidence in your abilities to protect people from Hollows, you wouldn't be worried, and you would accept this challenge." Uryū says as he crushes the bait into hundreds of tiny pieces.
A rumbling and distorted sound begins resonating throughout Karakura Town, and Ichigo watches in shock as a Hollow emerges from a tear in the sky and roars.
"And that's one for me." Uryū says firing Heilig Pfeil from his Kojaku as it races towards the emerging Hollow.
"I don't think so." Ichigo says and a second later Uryū watches as his Heilig Pfeil gets destroy by Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō while also slashing through the Hollows
"Hmph. Not bad I suppose." Uryū says turning around only to meet the tip of Ichigo's Getsu no Ikari (Moon's Wrath) at his throat.
"Change things back right now. You get those Hollows out of here." Ichigo says as the tip of his sword begins freezing which spreads to Uryū's throat and neck.
"It's too late for that. Soon, the bait will have the whole town crawling with Hollows. Sorry, but the die has already been cast. You should use your time in a better way than this. There's people out there that need you." Uryū says raising his hand. "I'd say you'd better get moving if you're going to protect the entire town from all those Hollows." He says pushing the sword away from him but Ichigo quickly puts his second blade in the firsts former position.
"One person gets hurt, one innocent Plus gets devoured, the second I finish killing off the Hollow, I'm going to skewer you, you egotistical son of a bitch." Ichigo says with a dark look on his face as he rushes off.
"Hey, Ichigo, wait up!" Kon yells chasing after him. "What's your plan?" He asks.
"I know Karin and Yuzu have obtain their Shinigami forms but I don't know if their Gekongon my dad order for them has arrived or not, so here's what we're going to do; I'll deal with the Hollows that show up and take care of them. Meanwhile, I want you to locate Karin and Yuzu and watch over them, if they need help, step in. Also use my phone and let Chad know just what is going on and to be on the lookout for them, he'll help keep them safe." Ichigo says and receives a nod from the Kaizō Konpaku as they come up to a fork in the sidewalk. "We'll split up here. Good luck, Kon." Ichigo says taking a right turn.
"Good luck to you too." Kon says making a left turn.
"Ichigo, you are blind, unaware of the other gifted people around you. Besides your family, you know others with Reiryoku that need your help. He's lucky I'll be killing all the Hollows that could harm those near and dear to him. No matter. All this will still make him realize just how weak his power is. At last, he's reached that place, the point of no return." Uryū says after listening and watching the Shinigami and Kaizō Konpaku talk before splitting up.
As he looks up, Uryū sees the silhouette of someone in the sky above and clenches his fist before summoning his Heilig Bogen, Kojaku.
"Shinigamis are such useless scum." Uryū growls.
Meanwhile, at Karakura High School, Tatsuki rests outside the gymnasium in her karate gi and watches the Pluses of two lovers flirt with each other.
"Mika, you're the cutest. I mean it." A male Plus, wearing a white collared shirt, green sweater vest and blue pants, says.
"Really, Yoshi?" A female Plus, known a Mika who was wearing a purple shirt and a long skin, says.
"I'm serious." Yoshi says to her.
"Oh, stop that, Yoshi. Someone might see us." Mika says stopping her boyfriend from doing something naughty in front of viewing eyes.
"Hey, it's all right. No one's watching us." Yoshi assures her.
"Oh, don't you have a car or somewhere that's more private?" Mika asks with a giggle.
"Ugh. Oh, great. Just what I want to see. Ghosts making out." Tatsuki says taking a sip from her water bottle.
"Huh? Hey, I know where there's a nice park bench nearby." Yoshi tells his girlfriend.
"Oh, you're such a romantic." Mika says as they float off as they start kissing making Tatsuki sigh in annoyance.
"Hey, Tatsuki, your break's over. Get back in here." Her instructor calls to her but she doesn't answer. "Tatsuki, are you coming?" He asks again.
"Sure." Tatsuki says back and begins to turn the corner, only to be halted when someone calls out her name.
"Tatsuki?" Orihime asks calling out to her best friend.
"Huh? Orihime." Tatsuki says seeing her friend, still in her school uniform, standing behind her.
"Can we talk? Now?" Orihime asks in a desperate tone.
'That was it. I first started noticing weird things the night I brought dinner to her house. I barely remember what happened that night. But what I do recall is feeling really uneasy. All of a sudden, I felt this intense pain. And I have this vague image of seeing someone who looked like Rukia standing over me. I figured it was a dream until I mentioned it to Orihime. That's when she said she'd had the same dream. From what she said, we had shared the same experience that night. And ever since that day, I've been seeing strange things. And with each passing day, those images are getting clearer to me.' Tatsuki thought recalling the events back in early June.
"Tatsuki?" Orihime says to her friend who was staring off into space, or more accurately a ghost of a man floating in front of her.
"Yoo-hoo." The ghost says waving his hands at her.
"So-" Orihime begins to say.
"You see me, and I see you." The ghost says in a singsong voice.
"Can we talk?" Orihime asks finishing her question from earlier.
"Spank you very much, buddy." The ghost says spanking his butt, annoying Tatsuki even further.
"Would you get the hell out of here?" Tatsuki yells at the ghost which in turn scares Orihime.
"Huh?" Orihime asks in shock.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You were saying? You wanna talk now?" Tatsuki asks in a sheepish voice as she rubs the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Um, it's not that important. But maybe-" Orihime begins to say but then she is interrupted by the sound of glass breaking.
"Be careful. Don't touch the broken glass. You're gonna cut yourself." A woman's voice is heard.
"We'll talk later. Come on. Let's go see what just happened." Tatsuki says and runs off with Orihime about to follow as she looks up to see a strange distortion in the sky.
Elsewhere, Karin and Yuzu were making their way to the park to meet up with Karin's friends but they suddenly pause in their walk as they felt something.
"Yuzu, do you feel that?" Karin asks her sister.
"Yeah. What do you suppose it is?" Yuzu asks nervously.
"I don't know but it might have something to do with that." Karin says as the sisters look up at the distortion in the sky. "I'm sensing a lot of Hollow Reiryoku coming from that thing." She says.
"Then I suppose the time for us to use our Gikongan might be sooner than we thought." Yuzu says looking at Claudia in her hand.
"I guess you're right." Karin says looking at Diana in her hand.
Meanwhile, Kisuke silently ruminates in the Urahara Shop.
Elsewhere, another Hollow emerges in the sky above Karakura Town but as it dives towards the ground, Ichigo appears and vertically slashes the Hollow through its mask with his Getsu no Ikari (Moon's Wrath) blades.
"That makes number twelve." Ichigo says smirking before sensing something as he looked up to more Hollows appearing in the sky. "You all want some too? Well come and get it." He says as the Hollows begin dive bombing him. "Tōketsu Getsuga (Freezing Moon Fang)!" He yells preforming a horizontal slash sending an arc of ice racing towards the Hollows.
Meanwhile, Kon was rushing towards Karin and Yuzu's middle school hoping to find the girls there.
"Karin and Yuzu aren't here." Kon says looking around. "Ichigo says she usually goes off playing with her friends somewhere. But where could she have gone?" He wonders. "Damn it." He curses pulling out Ichigo cell phone.
Elsewhere in Karakura Town, Uryū fires multiple Heilig Pfeil in rapid succession.
"Seven, eight, nine…" Uryū counts his kills before firing two more Heilig Pfeil from his Kojaku. "…10…" He counts as the final arrow curves upward and strike the escaping Hollow. "…and 11." He says with satisfaction but noticing something. "Huh?" He asks himself staring up in surprise at the large black distortion in the sky above.
Back in the Urahara Shop, Kisuke senses something as he looks up and sees Rukia standing in front of him.
"So Urahara, what's going on here?" Rukia asks but then her Denreishinki starts beeping. "Oh, damn it. A Hollow alarm at a time like this." She says reaching into her back pocket. "Excuse me, Urahara.
Business." She says but then the beeping suddenly stops. "Hmm? Why did the signal disappear?" She wonders.
"Huh." Kisuke says as he solemnly looks away from her.
"Oh, I get it. Ichigo must be doing well. He's working quickly today." Rukia says with a happy smile on her face and begins to sit back down, but is interrupted when her Denreishinki begins beeping with another order. "Huh?" She asks looking at the screen to see it going blank. "It went blank again? What is with this thing? It must be broken. I mean, it's going haywire." She says as the device begins beeping once more. "This is strange. I've never seen so many signals coming in so fast." She says at the beeping continues. "This can't be…can it?" She wonders as she stares in shock as the radar screen fills up with Hollow indicators.
Slowly backing up, Rukia hears a Hollow roar and runs outside, where she sees the large black distortion in the sky above.
"I'm feeling all this agitated heavy Reiryoku." Rukia says as Urahara continues to sit silently behind her. "No. What destruction is about to happen here?" She wonders.
Meanwhile, Ichigo runs along a street before being confronted by three large Hollows, who laugh as a caterpillar-like one attacks Ichigo, forcing him to block with his Zanpakutō. Forcing the Hollow back, Ichigo cuts off one of its limbs and demands that they all move before cutting it in half horizontally, vertically bifurcating the Hollow behind it from the bottom up, and slashing into the head of the third Hollow before leaping down to the ground below as all three disintegrate behind him. He then senses more Hollows appearing in another area and rushes off towards their location.
At the bridge, Uryū hears another Hollow roar and pulls back a Heilig Pfeil before calmly firing it.
In downtown Karakura Town, Chad was with his friends Gitano and Harutoki, while carrying a guitar case.
"Hmm." Chad mutters looking up at the distortion in the sky.
"Hey, Earth to Chad. You awake? If you don't get moving, we're gonna miss the lunchtime specials. I'll make you pay the difference." Gitano threatens catching Chad attention.
"Hmm? I can't do that." Chad says quickly even though he knew that wasn't true since Kisuke pays him for doing jobs for him but still didn't want to spend more money than he had to.
"That's all the more reason for us to get going. Come on now or pay extra." Gitano says.
"Hmm." Chad says hearing thunder rumbling as he looks back up to the distortion in the sky. 'This is bad. It's definitely not a regular Hollow Reiryoku coming from the distortion.' He thought before Gitano suddenly dropkicks him sending Gitano flying back while Chad is relatively unfazed. "Hmm?" He asks rubbing the back of his head.
"Get a move on, Damn it! I have to string meals together with just minimum wage! My life is on the line here! I'm not a carefree student like you who gets to eat just by being alive!" Gitano yells.
"Sorry." Chad simply says.
"I need my next meal just to stay alive." Gitano says grabbing Chad by his shirt collar. "What did I just say?" He asks.
""I need my next meal just to stay alive."" Chad repeats.
"Good. You understand me. Let's go. I don't buy beef if it's not on sale. The sell by expiration…" Gitano begins to say as Chad follows when his cell phone goes off and he sees Ichigo's number on the screen.
"Hello?" Chad answers expecting to hear his best friend on the other end.
"Chad?" Kon's voice was heard through the phone.
"Ichigo?" Chad asks in confusion.
"Not quite. I'm Kon. The substitute soul Ichigo uses when he's in Shinigami form." Kon explains.
"Okay." Chad simply says accepting the answer.
"Listen, we've got a situation. That guy Uryū Ishida or whatever his name is, turned out to be something called a Quincy and knows that Ichigo and Rukia are Shinigami. So, because of his hatred for Shinigami, he challenged Ichigo to a contest to see who could kill the most Hollows and now the whole town is about to be overrun with them." Kon explains.
"So that explains that distortion in the sky." Chad says.
"Yeah, anyways I'm calling to asks if you've seen Karin and Yuzu. Ichigo wants me to makes sure that their okay while he deals with the Hollows. He also wanted me to let you know what's going on and to be on the lookout for them in case they need help." Kon says.
"Alright, I'll be on the lookout but it might be a while before I find them." Chad says looking up at the sky.
"Why's that?" Kon asks.
"Because…" Chad begins to say as something falls from the sky and crash to the ground in front of him, knocking Gitano and Harutoki down. "…a Hollow just appeared in front of me and I'll need to deal with it." Chad says before hanging up his phone.
"Huh, what was that?" Harutoki asks.
"I don't know. Maybe it was a gas explosion." Gitano guesses.
Standing in front of Chad but unseen by everyone else was is a large bipedal Hollow with an extremely muscular body, easily dwarfing the 197cm tall Chad. Its arms were noticeably widened as they progress from its shoulders, culminating in almost cube-shaped fists as big as its mask. Its skin is gray, with dark S-shaped markings running from its shoulders to the middle of its back. Its Hollow hole is located in the middle of its chest and its mask resembles the face of a guardian lion.
'This is one big Hollow but it's also not one of those Menos Kisuke told me about.' Chad notes after observing the Hollow in front of him.
"Hey, Chad. You all right, bud?" Gitano asks getting up off the ground.
"Let's go. Whatever's going on here, it's freaking me out." Harutoki begs standing behind Chad.
Chad sees the Hollow rearing back its left fist and quickly pushes his friends out of the way as he dives to safety himself. The Hollow's punch hit the spot where Chad use to be causing dust to kick up.
"Shigeo, Harutoki, run!" Chad yells seeing the Hollow staring at him as it throws another punch at him but misses from Chad's quick movement, however the result of the punch shatters several nearby windows. 'It's too crowded here.' He thought as she turns on his heels and ran away with the Hollow chasing after him.
"Hold on, Chad. Why are you running away?" Shigeo asks watching his friend run down the street.
'I can't fight that Hollow here or else people are going to get hurt or worst. Plus I can use my powers here since its such a narrow area. Even though I could fight it without my power considering the Hakuda training Yoruichi gave me, it would look strange to everyone with me just punching random areas of air giving they can see it.' Chad theorized as continued running down the street sensing the Hollow following him.
Meanwhile, Karin and Yuzu were at the playground where Karin usually plays soccer with her friends but upon arriving they see that the park is empty. They had been there for ten minutes, seating on the swing set just talking about their last few weeks of training to obtain their Shinigami forms. Soon Karin stood up off her swing causing her twin to stare at her.
"What is it, Karin?" Yuzu asks continuing to swing back and forth.
"Today sucks. I can't concentrate on anything." Karin informs her twin.
"Well that's unusual. You were very focused today during our training session with Mr. Urahara and Mr. Tessai." Yuzu says slowing down after hearing what Karin said.
"I know but I keep thinking about that weird thing we felt earlier and that distortion in the sky isn't helping it either." Karin says as she looks up at the sky.
"I get what your saying. I've been sensing Hollows all around the city but they disappear as fast as they appear. Maybe Ichigo's just taking care of them before they can hurt anyone." Yuzu theorizes.
"I guess. But I'm also sensing another strange Reiryoku coming from another part of the city too." Karin says looking in the direction she sensed the strange Reiryoku coming from. "Why don't we head on home, Yuzu? It's been a long day and I for one would like to eat, take a bath, and go to bed early." She says starting to head for the park exit.
"Wait for me, Karin!" Yuzu shouts chasing after her sister.
"Huh?" Karin asks looking forward and sees a panting Chad at the park steps. "Hey, it's Chad." She says as Yuzu catches up to her and sees their brother's best friend.
"You're right. It is Chad." Yuzu confirms.
"Oh, hmm. Karin, Yuzu. I wasn't expecting to run into you two here." Chad says.
"So why are you hanging out at our playground then?" Karin asks with her hands on her hips.
"And why are you so out of breath?" Yuzu asks noticing he was panting heavily, but then Chad suddenly grabs them and jumps back as the Hollow chasing after him crashes into the area behind him.
The Kurosaki-Shiba sisters scream in shock at the sudden action as well as the crash from the Hollow that had been chasing Chad as he shields the girls from the dust kick up.
"Huh?" Karin and Yuzu ask together as they look over Chad's shoulders and get a look at the Hollow that had been chasing him as he turns around to face it.
"A Hollow." Yuzu says taking in the Hollow's appearance.
"And a big one too." Karin comments. "Chad, what's going on? Why is there a Hollow here?" She asks.
"And why do we keep sensing more appearing and disappearing even now as we speak?" Yuzu asks.
"Hmm." Chad says not taking his eyes off the Hollow that followed him in case it decided to attack. "From what I've been told, Ichigo has been challenged to a contest to see who can destroy the most Hollows by a classmate of ours named Uryū Ishida, who, according to Kon, is something called a Quincy." He says shocking the two at the last word.
'A Quincy?' Karin asks.
'Dad told us that's what mom was when he first met her.' Yuzu says remembering the story of how their father met their mother.
"Somehow Uryū has managed to draw Hollows to Karakura Town and is about to be over run. This one in front of us appeared to me while I was downtown with my friends and I managed to lead it here but I never expected to run into you two here. Ichigo is currently dealing with the Hollows while having Kon be on the look out for you two in case you need protection and called me a while ago to ask for my help. So I guess it's a good thing I ran into you two." Chad explains.
"Maybe so." Karin says reaching for her Gikongan dispenser in her pocket.
"Hold on you two. We've got incoming." Yuzu says as two crashes appeared in the open field of the playground.
Three look in the direction of the two crashes to see the dust clearing to reveal two more Hollows. One Hollow had a buffalo-like appearance, given that it stood on all fours with the front half of its body was covered in fur along with the mask that completed the appearance as well. The second Hollow looked like a scorpion, standing on six legs, two large pincer like arms, a large tail stinger and its mask looking like scorpion's too.
"That's just great." Chad says getting the girls attention. "Dealing with one Hollow is easy enough, dealing with one with watching over you two will be harder but three? This might be tougher than I thought." He says.
"Not to worry Chad." Yuzu says causing the giant to look down at them. "Karin and I will handle those two while you take care of the one that followed you." She says.
"Are you sure? I mean I know you two have been training to be Shinigami like Ichigo but…" Chad begins to ask.
"But have we even obtained our Shinigami forms?" Karin says finishing Chad's sentence. "You bet we have, plus we got these from Mr. Hat n' Clogs." She says holding up her Gikongan dispenser along with Yuzu hold up hers. "Dad ordered these for us to allow us to exit our bodies and have the Gikon stand in their place while also take our bodies to safety." She explain before turning to her sister. "Ready Yuzu?" She asks.
"You bet Karin." Yuzu says holding up her Gikongan dispenser to her mouth as Karin does the same.
Both girls press the dispensers' figure heads and pop a pill into their mouths. As they swallow them a burst of Reiryoku erupts from them causing smoke to kick up making Chad cover his eyes. As he lowers his arms and sees the smoke clearing, allowing him to get a look at Ichigo's sisters in their Shinigami forms with their bodies kneeling behind them.
Karin was wearing a short-sleeved variation of the standard shihakushō (which includes a short-sleeved black kosode and white shitagi), as well as short black hakama pants that goes up to her knees (mostly to fit her tomboy personality), along with the other standard garments of the Shinigami robes (a white obi, a pair of white tabi, and a pair of waraji sandals). In addition, Karin wears a pair of white wrist-length, fingerless gloves and a white long, tattered cloak with dark green markings tied around her waist that goes from the waist to her ankles. Attached to her left hip was her Zanpakutō that resembles an uchigatana. The tsuba is in an abstract shape with 8 wings with an overlapping pattern; each plate has a light green core with a silver border while her sheath is light green in color.
Yuzu was wearing a heavily modified version of the standard shihakushō that is separated into top and bottom garments to leave her stomach bare. She wears a shortened hakama resembling a skirt, along with the other garments of the Shinigami robes (a long, pink obi tied in a large bow on her back, a pair of white tabi, and a pair of waraji sandals). In addition, Yuzu wears a pair of white wrist-length, fingerless gloves and a white long, tattered cloak with pink markings tied around her waist that goes from the waist to her ankles just like her sister's. On her right hip was her Zanpakutō, resembling a wakizashi. The tsuba is shaped like a 4 leaf clover; the leaves have a pink core with a golden border with her sheath being a deep blue color.
"Alright you two, go and hide yourselves until the battle is over." Karin orders.
"Right." Diana and Claudia say together as they run off to hide.
"We'll handle these Hollows, Chad. You can handle the one you brought." Yuzu says.
"Got it." Chad says holding up right arm and transforming it through his powers. "Good luck you two." He says and charges at his target Hollow.
"Alright Karin, which one do you want?" Yuzu says as she and Karin slowly walk forward towards the two Hollows.
"Hmm…" Karin begins to say looking between Hollows in front of them. "I'll take the buffalo one, since it more my style. You can handle the scorpion one cause I know you're more agile at dodging." She says drawing her Zanpakutō and holds it front of her while Yuzu does the same.
"Works for me. Good luck Karin." Yuzu says and Shunpo towards the scorpion Hollow.
"Good luck to you too." Karin says watching the buffalo Hollow as it opened it's mouth and let loss a roar before charging at her. "All right. Here we go." She says taking a breath to calm her nerves as the Hollow drew closer she holds her Zanpakutō out in front of her. "Bakudō #39. Enkōsen (Round Lock Fan)." She says generates a dull yellow energy, which takes the form of a large spinning disk of condensed Reiatsu, blocking the Hollow's incoming charge.
However, due to the size of the Hollow and force behind the charge the best Karin was able to do was divert the Hollow in a slight curve to her left. The buffalo Hollow made a skid on its legs before turning to face the young Shinigami again but before it could do anything, Karin leaped into the air above the Hollow gripping her Zanpakutō with both hands as she performs a Suikawari (Watermelon Splitting), cleaving the Hollow's head along with its mask in twain. The Hollow lets out one final roar before disintegrating into nothingness.
"So that's what destroying a Hollow looks like." Karin says as she sheaths her Zanpakutō before hearing a loud noise as she turns and sees Chad unleashing a large torrent of energy that vertically bifurcates the Hollow that follow him, who is sent flying into the air as it disintegrates. "Nice." She comments before she sees Chad turn to her and smile as he gives her a thumbs up. 'How uncool. Did he really just give me the thumbs up signal? What a dork.' She groans before turning to look in her sister's direction and sees her dodging a strike from the stinger of the scorpion Hollow's tail as well as its pincers as well.
"Bakudō #4. Hainawa (Crawling Rope)." Yuzu says generating a crackling yellow energy rope within her hand, before she throws it toward the Hollow, winding around the Hollow's arms and body, immobilizing it. "And now for that tail. Hadō #32. Ōkasen (Yellow Fire Flash)." She says raising her Zanpakutō horizontally in front of her, and generates a yellow orb, which widens itself along the length of her sword and once it was fully charged, she fires a wide, horizontal arc of yellow energy at the Hollow's tail, destroying it in the process causing it to howl in pain. "This has been fun but it's time for you to be purified." She says rushing towards the immobilized Hollow and performs Senmaioroshi (Thousand-Page Wholesale), therefore shredding the Hollow to pieces as well as its mask. "I hope you rest in peace." She says and sheaths her Zanpakutō and walks over to her sister and Chad. "Not bad for a first Hollow slaying, huh Karin." She asks.
"Yeah, nod bad at all." Karin says smiling at her twin before looking towards Chad. "So what now, Chad?" She asks.
"Let's go find and help Ichigo. I know he probably doesn't need the help but let's be there to assist in case he does." Chad says.
"Right. Diana you head home with my body and stay there." Karin says to her Gikon, who nods and begins running off in the direction of the Kurosaki clinic.
"You too, Claudia." Yuzu tells her Gikon, who also nods before following after her substitute soul.
"Let's go, I sense Ichigo in that direction." Chad says and runs off.
"Right, come on Yuzu!" Karin shouts following after Chad.
"Coming!" Yuzu shouts chasing after them.
Unknown to them, at the park entrance, Isshin was standing there watching the whole thing with a smile on his face.
'Well Masaki, it seems our little girls are growing into fine Shinigami, even if they haven't learned their Zanpakutō's names yet.' Isshin thought with a grin on his face.
Back at Karakura High School, while Tatsuki and Chizuru crouch on the ground and clean up the broken glass from the windows, Orihime stands nearby and stares in fright at the roof of a building in the distance as a mysterious figures peers over the top at them.
{Ending Theme: "Life is Like a Boat" by Rie Fu}
Author's Note: Well there we go, the Kurosaki-Shiba sisters are now Shinigami. Hope you all enjoyed their appearances as well as their battles. Please be sure to review and tell me what you think. Also, I've decided what their Zanpakutōs will be but they won't be revealed until the Bount Arc, so be sure to stay tuned.
