THUD!

Three teens looked over to see their friend on the ground clutching his bleeding nose, before looking back to the person who caused it.

"Why the hell did you stomp on Li'l Yama's face?"

"You crazy, punk"

"Do you have a death wish or something, bastard"

All of them yell at the same time, directing their anger at the unknown teen.

The unknown teens response,

THUD!

Was to just kick another one of them in the face.

The now fearful teens watch as the mystery person walks up to them and points at some broken bottle.

"Do you all see that bottle?"

The teens nod their heads.

"Do you know why it's there?"

"Uh, it's an offering for some dead kid, right?"

"Yes, so let me ask, why is it broken?"

His voice begins to ramp up in anger.

"Uh, we accidentally knocked it over with our skates."

"Ok, so how about you APOLOGIZE TO THE DEAD KID." The unknown teen screams

The four teens took that as their que to get the hell out of the area whilst screaming "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" over and over again, until they couldn't be heard anymore.

Finally they were gone.

"Thank you"

The unknown teen then looked to his left, to a girl that is caked in blood and has a chain sticking out of her chest.

"No problem kiddo, just be sure to pass on soon, else you might find your situation worse than it already is.

He begins to walk away from the dead girl.

"Uh, stay safe"

"You too kid."

A door creaks open to a home attached to a medical clinic, then with the force of a jet, out comes its doctor to tackle his son.

"YOUR LATE ICHIGO"

Unfortunately for him, his son was expecting this, and slammed the door on his fathers face. Might have broken his nose, but he will walk it off.

"Fucks sake dad, this is the third time you have done this same move in a week. Might as well change it up a bit."

Walking past the downed remains of his father, he strolls over to his room to drop his book bag off and get changed into something more comfortable.

Eventually he began to feel a bit hungry, so he traveled down the kitchen to make a quick snack before dinner. Then someone caught his eye.

He was an incredibly old man with a white beard stretching down to his waist, he was sitting at their couch reading something.

"Hey gramps, didn't realize you were here today."

"I've been here since one ichigo."

"Wow, I completely missed you coming in."

"You also immediately stormed up to your room."

"Stormed?"

The old man rolled his eyes at the teen.

"Why are you here anyway, you only really come over here when your roommates get too rowdy for you to deal with, or you feel like demolishing us at Risk.

"Maybe I just wanted some of Yuzu's cooking for dinner instead of Shinji's."

Ichigo ponders these words for a moment.

"Fair enough, I still don't know how he managed to screw up making PB&J that badly."

"I was the one who had to dispose of that monstrosity."

"And you love to tell us about it, Old Man."

THUMP

THUMP

THUMP

Yuzu comes running down the stairs, with a quick," Hey Grandpa" she gets to work in the kitchen to make dinner for everyone.

"Ah, speaking of which, I would like to play Risk with all of you again."

Ichigo's face imminently fell.

After the horribly one sided game of Risk, the old man began to pack up his belongings and tuck them into his pockets.

"Ah, Ichigo?"

"Yea?"

"Can you walk me back to the warehouse?"

Ichigo thought about it for a second, before shrugging and responding with a nod.

The walk back to the warehouse was rather pleasant. Despite being an old man, he could walk fast enough so it wasn't a test of patience. They would chat about random things, such as how school was for Ichigo, why Kensei shouldn't be going to the planet fitness and theorizing how Urahara is still in business.

Then about 90 percent of the way there, they heard something. A broken roar would ecko across the area to only those that could hear it.

"What the fuck is that?", a panicked Ichigo asked.

The old man gripped Ichigo's shoulder,

"Ichigo, stay calm, let's just get to the warehouse.", the old man states calmly.

They could only continue for a moment, before a massive creature appeared. It was mostly bone white, with a number of limbs, and it was wearing a mask.

"Ichigo", the old man yelled, "Stay behind me."

The creature approached the duo, ready to cut both of them down.

Then, the old man started to mumble something, then raised his hand, and shouted,

"BYAKURAI!"

THUD

The creature was dead with a massive hole going straight through it and was rapidly turning to dust in front of the duo.

Ichigo was frozen in shock about what just happened.

"What was that thing?"

"Why was it after us?"

"What did Gramps do to kill it"

"ICHIGO"

The yell from the old man woke Ichigo up from his shock, but before he could ask any questions about anything that happened, the old man stated.

"Let's get back to the warehouse, we will explain everything there."
