Neb: I do not own Bleach.
"Alright, now start talking." Ichigo Kurosaki stood on top of the roof of the Highschool building with Nowane.
"I already told you," Nowane yawned. "I can't give you the details of my mission."
"And that mission has something to do with one of the kids in my school," Ichigo growled. "One who lost his little sister not to long ago."
"Kimito Hiro has nothing to do with my mission," Nowane admitted. "He's just grieving to the point his own sister won't move on to the next life. I've come to this school to help her."
"I see," Ichigo responded as he looked off the side of the roof. "I'd be afraid to move on to. If the same thing ever happened to my little sisters. It's not like you can just walk up to him and tell him to get over it."
"That wasn't going to be my plan," Nowane shook his head. "Don't get me wrong, his sister wants him to move on. However, my objective is to find her. If she roams freely and runs into another Hollow, they may turn her into one of them. Finding Yui is the most important. Helping her move on is the next objective, but it will take time."
"Is that all your here for?", Ichigo pressed.
"I can't discuss any details further with you I'm afraid," Nowane sighed. "But if you can help me get out of this Gigai lock, I'd most appreciate it."
"I wouldn't know anything about that," Ichigo admitted. "We could try using a Mod soul or that glove thing Rukia uses on me, but something tells me Kitsuke thought of that already."
"A fair assumption," Nowane agreed. "I'll just have to train my Soul Reaper powers to work while I'm restrained. Then I can continue on my mission."
"You know," Ichigo began. "If your job is just to hunt Hollows, then I can lend you a hand."
"My job... I won't tell you. But nice try."
Ichigo glared at him frustrated, but Nowane ignored him.
Nowane headed to the door and sighed. "I will speak with Kimito, then I will leave your school alone." With that Nowane left Ichigo standing alone on the roof.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A boy with short dark hair, freckles, and glasses stood by his class window as school ended and the sun begun to set. He barely ate or drank anymore and hadn't been getting much sleep. "Yui," he sighed to himself as he stared out the window. "I'm sorry I failed you."
"You must be Kimito Hiro," Nowane spoke up from behind the boy.
"Who are you?", Kimito responded in a hostile fashion. "I don't remember seeing you at this school!"
"I'm a transfer," Nowane lied. "But that's not the point. I'm here to talk to you about your sister."
"What about her?" Kimito growled. "About how I failed to protect her. Are you here to pass blame on me like my parents did!"
"Of course not," Nowane responded bluntly. "I couldn't care less about such trivialities. I am simply here for your health."
"M-my health?", Kimito replied in confusion. "I don't need anyone I don't know worrying about my health."
"Yes you do," Nowane sighed. "You've pushed everyone else away, so someone you don't know is exactly who you need."
"I don't know what your selling," Kimito begun. "But I'm not buying it." Tears fell from his eyes as he remembered seeing his sister get pulled off in an ambulance. "My sister is gone! There's no bringing her back."
"That's what I'm here to tell you," Nowane yelled at him. "That's why there is no point in holding on to something as trivial as blame! Forgive yourself and move on!"
"You bastard," Kimito growled. "Have you ever even lost a sibling?"
"Of course I have," Nowane yelled. "I lost my brother!" He grabbed his head as a sudden jolt of pain rushed through himself. "Wh-what the hell was that?"
"See," Kimito sighed. "It's not as easy as you thought." Kimito left the classroom as Nowane stared at his hands in disbelief.
"W-why did that happen?", Nowane wondered. "As soon as I tried to remember my brother's name." Another rush of pain flew through his head. "Of course I know who my brother is." He grasped his head as he fell to his knees. "What is happening to me?" He fell over as he passed out from the pain.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The wolf ran through the forest once more. "Wounded from a bite it received. Snake venom coursed through it's veins as it felt weaker and weaker. Suddenly the wolf became delusional. It saw large yellow eyes stare at it through the shadows. A voice could be heard from the shadows.
"Now bare your fangs," A deep masculine voice spoke up before a giant snake charged at the wolf.
