Chapter 3
Time Skip…
It had been a month since Rangiku and Rukia came to Karakura high, and honestly, the two were happy to be here since they enjoyed going to school and attending classes like normal teenagers. They even wanted the small group of friends they made: Orihime, Tatsuki, Chad, Ichigo, Chizuru, and Issei.
The two Soul Reapers have been helping Ichigo and Issei with their powers. They have fought many Hollows, such as Orihime's Brother, Acidwire, a giant Hollow that was rampaging in the park, and a few other small fries that Ichigo dealt with quickly with his oversized Zanpakto while Issei was learning more about his Fullbring and Muramasa as he tried to get faster and stronger with his string attacks since he wasn't as strong as Ichigo, so he had to improvise and work around his weaknesses.
A few other events happened in the town, such as Rangiku and Ichigo accidentally eating a Mod Soul Candy that made their bodies act odd. Rangiku was a perverted one named Kon. At the same time, the other one Ichigo consumed was a female one who made Issei and Rukia snicker at this as they recorded Ichigo being embarrassed like a teenage girl until he swiped the camera from them and erased it.
However, a few teachers and students landed in the hospital late, but the problem was that their eyes were blank and white, as if they were already dead.
The Soul Society told them to investigate the school, but little did they know that today, three battles would take place.
This is where our story begins as Orihime, Chad, and Tatsuki were into the school as they were coming to help with the school cleanup around campus.
Tatsuki grumbled lightly as she helped clean up the school. "Honestly, that pervert and prude could've helped us out today. But no, Issei wanted to follow Rangiku like a lost puppy, while Ichigo had 'plans' with Rukia." Chad let out a small nervous chuckle as a bead of sweat rolled down his head while Orihime giggled. "It's not that big of a deal, Tatsuki. Ise-Kun just wanted to get to know Giku-Chan. Plus, Ichigo-Kun and Rukia-Chan said they had homework to do." Tatsuki scoffed. "And the prude wanted to do his homework for once. I'm genuinely shocked."
Orihime shook her head lightly at her friend's accusations as she and Chad knew that Ichigo was one of the top 10 most intelligent people in their class. He may look like a delinquent, but he is astute when he needs to be. As they got near the school, a strange aura filled the air as the three were frozen still, as a groan was heard from inside the school. Tatsuki ran up to the door and kicked it open to see the missing students and teachers moan like zombies from a movie before they turned to Tatsuki and the others. A mark on a zombie's face turned to the trio as the eyes turned dark yellow for a moment until an androgynous voice left the man's mouth. "Ah. The cleanup crew is here, which means more souls and soldiers for us. Bring them to me!" The possessed zombie said as the other zombies grunted in confirmation until they began to walk towards them while grumbling.
Tatsuki cursed under her breath before she grabbed Orihime's wrist and ran off with her, Chad not too far behind. "T-Tatsuki, what's going on?" "From the looks of things, the bastard behind the missing people looked like they had their souls taken from them. What the fuck is this, Highschool of the Dead?" Chad grunted. "Less talking, more running."
The two got near the gate, but they were shocked as they tried to cross it, but the possessed one laughed at their attempt to leave. "Don't bother. As long as I'm alive, the barrier will stay up, making you three all mine. Surrender, and I'll make it painless for you all. As best as I can do, that is." The voice said as the zombies began to walk towards them until Chad grunted as his right arm somehow transformed and sent a massive blast of energy at the zombies throwing them back, especially the possessed one before an opening was made. "Let's go! I know where we can hide." Chad said as Tatsuki and Orihime were shocked but ran with Chad as they saw the zombies begin to get back up. "Shit! What the hell was that, and how are these guys still alive after that? What are you now, Goku?"
"I promise to explain everything later. We need to figure out how we'll get out of here." Tatsuki sighed before she spoke. "That possessed person that as long as he is alive, we cannot escape. So we just need to find the guy, simple as that." Chad sweated lightly. "I'm afraid it won't be that easy. I have a pretty good feeling as to what's doing this."
Chad said as they hid in the gym locker room before Chad revealed his transformed arm. "I'll only say that this happened to me after I was protecting Ichigo's sister, Karin, from what looked like some kind of monster that I was able to feel. I couldn't see it, but I could feel its presence. With this arm, I can send powerful blows with my right arm, but I can only do it up to five times a day. After that, I'll collapse." "Which means we need weapons to defend ourselves. I can fight with my karate, but Orihime. I think you should hide here until we get back."
Orihime could only nod, but she felt terrible that she couldn't do anything to help Chad and Tatsuki. 'Why do I have to be so weak and helpless? I want to help them since Chad can only use his arm four more times now, and I don't know how much stamina Tatsuki has before she tires herself out. But still, I can't do anything besides be a damsel in distress...'
Orihime said as she grabbed her dress until Tatsuki put a kendo sword in her friend's hands. "Remember. If you are in trouble, then you must fight. Otherwise, you'll be taken to their boss. Stay here and be quiet but most importantly, don't let anyone in this room unless it's us. Got it?" Tatsuki asked as Orihime nodded before the two left the locker room until Orihime began to curl up and sigh as she began to wait for her friends to come back. "I can be strong and helpful too," Orihime said as she swung her sword like a baseball bat but then accidentally hit her head, making her dizzy a bit, before collapsing on the floor with mini Issei's on top of her head, dancing with stars. "Hehe. Pretty Stars."
With Tatsuki and Chad...
Tatsuki kicked another mindless zombie in the face while Chad focused on using his left arm to punch some out of the way. He didn't plan on wasting the remaining four punches on his right arm.
"Damn. How many of these guys are there?" "I don't know, but they seem to be coming from upstairs," Chad said as he saw more come from the rooftop stairway until he saw an open window and a pole before asking Tatsuki. "Tatsuki. Are you scared of heights, and are you good at climbing?" "Can I climb? Yes, I can climb, but what does that have to do with-" Tatsuki yelled before Chad pushed the zombies out of the way before heaved Tatsuki over his left shoulder. "Get ready to fly," Chad said as he tossed Tatsuki to the flagpole out of the window while the Karate Master yelled in fear before she caught the pole. "You ass! I'm killing you after this whole shit is done!"
"Quit whining and start climbing unless you want to come back down and help?" Tatsuki sweated lightly before she sighed and started climbing. "You owe me, jackass!"
Tatsuki yelled back as she began to near the rooftop before her eyes narrowed slightly as she saw a massive shadowy blob on top of the school roof; it had a tentacle in a human's mouth before the human groaned and twitched like crazy until a small orb left the person's mouth. The shadow blob took the sphere and placed it in some net until she cheered at her new addition. The mouth began to move, but Tatsuki could only understand a few words the creature was saying. [Find………humans……Collect……Souls…..Kill them……if need be..]
Tatsuki narrowed her eyes at this before she scowled. 'You better get up here soon, Chad, cause I think you're the only one who will do anything to this thing.' Tatsuki then thought back to Orihime, and she clenched her fist. 'Please be safe, Orihime. I already know that pervert would never forgive me if you got hurt.'
Tatsuki said as she was trying to climb back down until a hand grabbed her wrist and moaned a bit until Tatsuki saw it try to lean into her Tatsuki then punched the Zombie's head before using her martial arts skills to knock the zombie around. She smirked at this before a hand grabbed her leg. "Ah! Let my guard down for a moment."
"Relax, and keep your voice down." Tatsuki looked down to see it was just Chad. She scowled at him. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" "Relax, I said."
Tatsuki nodded as she spoke to him. "It's some shadow blob on top of the school, but it seems to be able to take something out of us. It said it's here to collect souls, but why it's collecting them, I don't know."
Chad went into thought before he sighed and pulled out his phone. Chad then hit a few buttons before putting it to his ear. Chad waited for a moment before the phone clicked. [Hey Chad. What's going on?] 'It seems we can still call people.' "We have a bit of a situation, and we could use your guidance." [Huh. Alright then, who's with you?] "Tatsuki." [I see, alright, tell me what the situation is.]
Chad was about to say it until some static was heard on the other side. "Hello?" Chad asked before Tatsuki swiped it and hissed at the static. "Shit. We're on our own." Tatsuki growled as she didn't notice her arms glow dimly as they became shiny like steel.
Chad, however, noticed it but decided not to say anything. "This is indeed quite bad," Chad said as he took his phone back from Tatsuki and pocketed the device. "But we need to come up with a plan."
With Issei...
Issei winced as he whipped the phone away from his ear. "Gah! Damn static."
"Hey, you okay, Issei?" Rangiku asked as she came back with some smoothies for them both. They were on patrol today as Ichigo and Rukia needed to finish some homework for a project they were working on. Issei looked to see Rangiku before taking his raspberry smoothie and drinking the sweet beverage until Rangiku got some pineapple on her shirt. "Dang it. This is one of my favorites." Rangiku said as she used some napkins to clean it up before fanning her shirt as she felt her chest getting hot. "Man, my girls are on fire today. I thought it wasn't even summering yet."
Issei couldn't help but stare at Rangiku's breasts, and it was almost like they were tempting him to lick and su-. Issei swiftly slapped himself. 'You've only known the woman for a month! Seriously Issei!'
He then looked up to see Rangiku's teasing face before she smiled at him. "What's wrong, Issei? Distracted?" She asked as Issei looked away from her while trying to keep the blush down. "N-No, and it was Chad. He was going to tell me something, but we got cut off. Lousy reception." Issei grumbled as he checked his phone before Rangiku giggled at Issei's blushing face before asking him. "Say Issei, would you want to date me if I was a permanent resident? I-I mean, if I could stay, that is. I-It's just that after my assignment Rukia and I would….leave Karakura Town." She said before sipping her smoothie with a sad look as Issei looked at her, concerned. "Well, I would, but….are you sure you can? I mean, if what you said about your council is true, then won't they be suspicious of you spending a lot of time with a human that has spiritual energy and powers similar to you guys?"
Rangiku sighed. "It's hard to say... but I don't care." Rangiku hugged Issei in her bosom, making him blush and look up at her. Rangiku gave Issei a sad smile. "During this month, I've got to see many sides of you that few people get to see. You're kind, funny, and very protective. Not to mention perverted, which I happen to enjoy." Issei looked away with a blush, making Rangiku chuckle. "All of those traits are what makes you... well, you. And... I-I genuinely like you, Issei!"
Issei was surprised by the confession of the Soul Reaper until he was released from the boob prison. "Well, to be honest, I like you too. When we first met, you reminded me of a ditzy Bimbo, but I can see you are a bit ditzy but still a kind person who's not the sharpest tool but a loyal and funny friend who can cheer people up with her smile. You love to tease to get others to warm up to you, and you are a bit more of a pervert than me since you tried to bathe with me." He said as Rangiku giggled at the memory until Issei continued. "And…And I like you too, Rangiku, but I'm….I'm worried what they'll do to you once they learn what happened to you and Rukia." "True, but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes. Let's enjoy today and tomorrow as we are together now. Plus, I wanted to apologize for Kon teasing you with my body and to cause so much trouble when he streaked through the town in my birthday suit." "Hey, I've never seen a Hollow get killed by a bloody nose. That was hilarious. Hahahaha!"
Rangiku giggled lightly before Issei smiled. "But hey, that means I get to date your perverted self." Rangiku grinned. "So you'd be fine having Kon and me?" Issei shrugged. "Sure, of course, I'll have to get used to Kon, though. Seriously, I think they might be more perverted than me, saying something."
Rangiku laughed at this as she recalled the perverted Mod Soul before her phone went off as a massive Seal took place and froze the humans in the area. Issei and Rangiku stood up as sizeable multiple heads as Hollow came out of a crack in the air. As it sniffed the air and smiled at the humans around it. "So many souls. So many delicious souls to satisfy me." It said before opening its three mouths to suck in the souls of nearby humans as more and more Hollows came out of other holes in space shocking Issei and Rangiku. "What's going on? Rangiku?" "….Oh no. Someone used a Hollow Bait."
Issei's eyes widened. "Someone used a what?! Who the fuck would he be stupid enough to use that?!" Rangiku's eyes turned stern before she turned to Issei. "You need to get out of here. This is a type of Hollow you are not ready to face, especially with other Hollows helping it." "What do you mean?! I can help!"
Rangiku shook her head as she swallowed Kon before entering her Soul Reaper attire. "No. These guys aren't ordinary Hollows. They are from Hueco Mundo. Now run! Kon, make sure he gets out of here and take him someplace safe." Rangiku told the Mod Soul as Kon nodded before dragging Issei away from the Lieutenant as she breathed deeply. "Growl Haienko." She whispered as her blade became ash before sending it towards the incoming Hollows and slicing off their necks until a few began to fire Cero's at her, which forced Rangiku to get on the defensive as she tried to get to the leader Hollow, which was the multi-faced Hollow consuming souls. Still, the smaller ones wouldn't let her get close. "Shit. Hopefully, Rukia and Ichigo are seeing this."
Issei and Kon ran away from the battle near the Karakura Cemetery before stopping to catch their breath. "We….Should….be safe here." Kon panted heavily as he fanned himself with his dainty hand before seeing Issei breathing while looking at the battle. "I should be helping her, not running away like a coward," Issei growled as he wanted to run back, but the sound of footsteps caught their attention.
"Oh? So you must be the Soul Reaper, and Human Shrieker told us about." The voice said as the duo turned to see a person who looked like a samurai swordsman with long indigo hair tied into ponytail and indigo eyes. He wore a traditional light purple umanori hakama and kimono, light purple tabi, black zori with purple haori, and tekkou and carried his sword on his back.
Issei had a bad feeling about this guy and immediately got in front of Kon. "Shrieker? What do you mea-... oh for fucks sake, you're helping the Hollows?! A human soul?!"
The samurai made a so-so motion with his left hand before answering Issei's question. "Well, it's more of a partnership. You see, I am a mere soul bound to this cemetery, and I can't pass on, so I require souls to keep my physical form and strength up. The Hollow gives me souls to stay intact, and in return, I defend this cemetery. It would be wise for you to leave before I kill you. I can tell you are a beginner with a sword and have the powers of one of those unique humans I killed before. Normally I don't kill unless I have to but let's say I've taken more lives than you've been alive, so heed my warning and leave this place. Or you can stay and watch the show coming soon to Karakura Town." He said as he gazed into the city, seeing the many Hollows get killed by either a powerful blast of spiritual energy, an arrow, or strangely a cloaked individual running on the rooftops, killing them quickly.
Issei looked where the man looked before he turned back to the samurai. "I'm afraid I can't just leave if you're working for the enemy. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to stop you. Kon, stay back... this is a battle between samurai." Issei took his Mod before he entered his Soul Reaper attire. Kon quickly brought Issei's body out of the way while the man sighed. "I warned you, boy, now I shall cut you down by my blade." Issei sighed before speaking again. "Before we begin, it's common courtesy to give one's name before a battle. My name is Issei Hyoudou, Fullbringer, and wielder of Muramasa."
The samurai nodded in acceptance before unsheathing his blade, glistening in the moonlight. "I am the Nameless Samurai, but you may call me Sasaki Kojiro." He said before getting into a stance as Issei readied his biker gloves that have protection on them now before a leaf fell into a small puddle.
{Cue Akaza Vs. Rengoku Battle Soundtrack!}
Issei ran towards Sasaki and clashed with his sword as the Fullbringer tried to break the sword with his fists. Still, the samurai merely blocked them with ease as he had a bored look in his eyes before he attacked with a kick; he sent Issei back with a sidekick, making Issei stop it before clenching his fists.
'In that case.' Issei said as he had his Hakkei come forth and strengthen his hands and feet before clashing with Sasaki again as the samurai still blocked the attacks until the samurai kicked some leaves up with a wind from his slash. They blinded Issei until Sasaki appeared behind him, sheathing his sword. "You lose."
CHINK.
Issei gasped as he felt an invisible blade slice his stomach until he got on one knee. He panted heavily before grabbing his Zanpakto.
"Whisper, Muramasa," Issei whispered as his gloves changed to his Shikai before using his strings to tie up his injury, surprising Sasaki. "Interesting. I've never seen an ability like that. Maybe this won't be so boring after all."
Issei snarled. "Do not underestimate me, just because I'm new to this whole Supernatural thing!" Issei stood up before whipping his strings on the ground, leaving a few marks. "Now, who wants daddy's belt?"
Sasaki smirked before rushing to Issei; he threw a few daggers at Sasaki, which the samurai deflected with ease until Issei moved away quickly from the slash as he weaved a spear made of string before twirling it. "Let's dance, Sasaki," Issei said challengingly as he clashed with Sasaki's sword, but as they fought, Issei was starting to feel that Sasaki was holding back as they parted from each other until Sasaki stood up. "Interesting. Using your strings to make yourself armor, stitch your wounds, and craft weapons? Not bad, but it's not enough." Sasaki said as he got into a stance before holding his blade out to show its entire length.
"Allow me to show you what real swordsmanship is. Secret Technique…."
Issei readied as he felt something coming at him until the blade moved so fast he couldn't track it.
"Turning Swallow Strike!"
Three Slashes moved at a fast pace which cut into Issei before Sasaki sheathed his blade. Issei still felt the pain before Kon came up to him and helped him up. "Hold it!" Issei yelled as he glared at Sasaki, who had his back turned to them. "You only struck me with the back of the sword. Why?" Issei asked as Sasaki didn't turn back but replied to him. "You are not worthy of facing my full strength. Until you learn how actually to wield a sword instead of relying on your fists, then you'll never beat me. Anyway, you are about to miss the show." Sasaki said as a roar echoed through the air. The power behind the roar scared both Issei and Kon as they turned to see a massive crack forming in the air. "What. Is. That?" "That….is something more powerful than a Hollow. Hueco Mundo. The Land of Hollows is home to more terrifying monsters than the ones you face here. Allow me to introduce you to a Menos Grande." Sasaki said as a large mask came out with a tall black cloak covering its whole body. The mask had two eyeholes and a large nose until it opened its jaw, roaring into the air with its hands spread out as if it was calling to the other Hollows in the town to come to its presence.
Issei was now in full panic mode. Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chad were now at the school, more than likely trying their hardest to survive. Rangiku was fighting off a bunch of Hollows and a Mini Gillian and is probably being given a hard time by the weaker Hollows. And Ichigo and Rukia were probably fighting as well and possibly getting overwhelmed. 'No! I can't lose here! So many of my friends are probably fighting their hardest out there, and they might get hurt or worse if I cannot win this fight!' {Partner! You need to calm down and think!}
"There's no need to be overwhelmed by this monster. If you can't even stand face to face with a monster like this, then I highly doubt you can clash with my superior." Sasaki said as he looked at the Menos as if ignoring them until a crackling sound echoed in the cemetery before a significant figure landed behind Sasaki. [Well. Well. Well. If it isn't that damn human who caught me off guard. How pathetic. Taken down by a mere spirit. Hah! You are not worth the effort.* Shrieker said as he slapped Kon away as he struggled to stand up before Issei was held down by one of Shrieker's claws. "You….Coward. Having Sasaki do the dirty work for you?" [Eh. Got to play dirty sometimes but don't worry about your friends. I'll make sure to see them die for you.* Shrieker said as he held Issei down until a new voice entered the area.
"Let them go before I hit your head this time." The voice said as an arrow flew and pierced Shrieker's mask, making him scream in pain until they all looked at the cloaked individual in the tree standing on a branch as the wind made them look mystical.
"It's been a long time Issei Hyoudou. I'm glad to see you well."
The figure removed the hood as they revealed themselves, shocking Issei. "Shidou-Sama? What are you doing here?" Issei asked, surprised as Kon asked him. "You know that guy?" "Sure do. He's Irina's, old man." "Nice to see you too, Issei. Now let's make this simple. Let these two dumb children leave, or I'll kill you both here and now. Your choice." He asked as Sasaki stood away from the children, as did Shrieker but growling like an animal as he walked away from them before the older man leaped down to them. "Stay behind me. It'll be alright."
"Wait! Is it just you here?!" Shidou chuckled before looking at Issei with a smirk. "Not to worry, my wife is helping out your female friend. And Irina is here too. She's helping out your friends at school. And before you ask, no, the three of us aren't Soul Reapers or Fullbringer's. We're just Exorcists with a *lot* of power."
Issei was shocked at this until the trio looked to see a massive blue arrow wounded the Menos Grande, but before it could retreat, its head was sliced off by an unknown attack making it fall to the land. Sasaki whistled at this display. "Interesting. Hope to see you when you improve some more." Sasaki said as he and Shrieker left the area while Issei and Shidou walked with Kon behind them. "So why are you here?" "That's simple. Our superiors told us that there was a massive outbreak of Hollows in Karakura town, so we were sent here with others to make sure the residents were safe. I wish we could stay, but we have to report back once the seal wears off. As much as I'd like to play catch up with you, someone is waiting for you back home. An old friend of your grandfather who wants to fulfill his dying wish."
Before Shidou could leave, two figures suddenly landed beside him. "Are you alright, honey?" Shidou nodded. "I'm fine, dear, but I think an old friend would like to say hi." The woman turned to see Issei. She smiled brightly and immediately took off her hood. Issei's eyes widened. "Mrs. Shidou?!" Mrs. Shidou waved at Issei. "Hi, Ise-Chan. Oh, look at how you've grown; you've become such a handsome young man."
Issei blushed from the comment before another cloaked individual tackled him. "Issei-Kun!" Issei groaned hearing this before seeing the eyes and hair of an old friend of his. "Irina?" "You remember me!" "Hey, you grew in more places than one." "Hey! I said I'd grow a ballon on my chest, and I meant it." 'But compared to those two orange-haired bimbos, I'm way behind!' Irina mentally screamed as she whined from not having giant busts like the two girls they saved, unlike the flat-chested boy who looked like a girl.'
Issei was somewhat flustered by Irina's forward; still, she was always quite the tomboy in personality. 'I have a busty tomboy as my best friend and crush... thank you, God!'
Irina smiled as she hugged Issei before she got up and helped Issei up before dusting his pants off. "Sorry. I was just so happy to see you again. I was worried sick when I heard Hollows invaded your town." "Thanks for the assist, so how long will you guys be here?" "Unfortunately, just today. We have to check the area for stray souls before returning to the church. Sadly, we're still in an uneasy situation with the Soul Reapers. After what they did to the Quincy's and the war…..The Church Faction had lost a lot of good people to the Hollows and Soul Reapers, especially the war."
Issei's reiatsu suddenly flared as he clenched his fist until Kon came up to Issei and hugged him from behind. The Shidou's noticed Issei had calmed down right away, and the parents could immediately see why. 'Ah, the young man finally has a girlfriend.' 'Ara, it seems Irina has a rival for Issei's affections. But knowing the updates I get from Miki now and again, Irina will still end up with Issei. It'll be quite entertaining to watch Irina try to make Issei only hers.'
Irina pouted at this as she pushed Kon away before she spoke to him at the park away from the others. "Listen, Issei. I want to stay here and be with you, I do, but you know how faithful I am to the church. I can't abandon my church and faith in God, plus there's no church here. That's a problem. However, I do wish to remain in contact with you so….Can we, Issei?" Irina asked with a nervous look until Issei replied. "Definitely. I would like to chat again like old times." "As do I, but I have a mission to complete. I suggest you head home. Rangiku is reporting to her superiors as we speak. Trust me when I say you'll love this visitor." Irina said before kissing Issei's cheek and running back to her folks before Kon snickered at his flustered face. "So….When's the wedding? Don't you want a kiss from someone with softer lips?" Kon giggled pervertedly while showing off Rangiku's lips.
Issei rolled his eyes before he pulled Kon into a steamy kiss, making the Mod Soul's face flush before slowly sinking into it. Once Issei parted from Kon, the Mod Soul's eyes were somewhat foggy. "How's that? Was that what you wanted?" "U-Uhuh...~"
Kon shakily nodded as he shook his head before heading back to Rangiku as she took over her Gigai. They then headed home as Rangiku told Issei what happened to her after she made him leave. Issei then explained that he and Kon were facing a spirit working with the Hollows and that Shrieker was with them until they reached home to see Miki and Goro giggling with a blue-haired woman laughing with them while having some tea. "Ah, Issei. Rangiku. Come say hi to your grandfather's old partner Griselda Quatra." Miki said as Griselda smiled at them both before looking at Issei and patting his head. "Aw. It's so nice to see little Ise again. I remember when you were so small, you'd call me grandma and hug my legs when you were scared. So cute."
Issei blushed profusely at the memory, but he never thought he'd be seeing his grandfather's old partner again after so many years. 'And it doesn't help that I think she's smoking hot now! I blame Rangiku for this, she's five times older than me, and I still find her sexy as hell!'
Issei then chatted with her for a few hours until Miki and Goro headed to bed before Griselda sat across from Issei and Rangiku and took out a box. "Issei. Your grandfather wanted you to be safe from the supernatural world, so he hid it from you about his work. However, the Soul Reapers learned of his existence and eliminated him, but before he passed away, he made me promise that should you one day get involved in the supernatural, then he wanted me to give you this." Griselda said before taking out a bracelet with a cross inside the circle. "This was your father's Quincy Bow. A long time ago, before the Biblical War, the Quincy's were the elite soldiers who fought to defend the souls and kill the Hollows, but when the Soul Reapers began to clash with them, we tried to form a peace treaty with the Soul Reapers. Sadly, it resulted in many lives being taken. Not just the warriors but the men, women, children, Hell even the newborns weren't spared." Griselda said as she clenched her fist in anger remembering the war with the bastard until she looked at Rangiku. "So dating a Soul Reaper, huh? Your not a bad kid, but know my godson won't be a cougars plaything."
Issei gained a tick mark. "For fucks sake, Auntie! I'm a grown-ass man. I can take care of myself fine!" Griselda giggled at this while Rangiku rolled her eyes.
"Your 17. In Highschool. I highly doubt that's the age of a man." Griselda said with a knowing smirk as Issei grumbled in frustration, looking away from his aunt until Rangiku cleared her throat. "I understand that you don't trust me, and I don't blame you, but I swear I won't harm Issei any way. I love him." Rangiku said, holding his hand, making Quincy smile before nodding. "Okay, but I have to go back soon. There is someone who can teach you how to use the bow. You know Uryu Ishida, no? His father owes me. Tell him Griselda sent you. He'll know. Trust me."
Issei nodded. He knew exactly who Uryu was. "Yeah, I know of him. I see him glaring at Rangiku and Rukia most of the time. But he seems to avoid me whenever he sees me look at him."
Griselda nodded as she replied. "His father's name is Ryuken Ishida, and believe me when I say he's a cold guy with a thick layer of skin. Ever since Soul Reapers killed uryu's grandfather, he's hated them since then but to hear that he's working with a human using the powers of one is shocking. Before I go, I need I leave you with a warning. It's only a matter of time until the Soul Society comes to investigate the Menos Grande attack, so be prepared to face a Captain possibly."
Issei sweated lightly as he nodded. Griselda then hugged her godnephew and pecked him on the forehead. "I love you, nephew." "Tch... love you too."
Griselda smiled at her tsundere of a godnephew before leaving the two alone as Rangiku sighed loudly while laying back on the couch. "Ugh! I feel like I just faced a whole army of Gillian's and barely won by the skin of my teeth." "At least you didn't get your ass handed to you by a mere spirit. Damn, this sucks." "So what do you think their grand plan is? If it was just summoning the Menos, they're done for, right?" "Honestly? I don't know but what I do know is that their boss, whoever he is, isn't done yet." Issei said as the scene changed to the Karakura Cemetery where Grand Fisher, Numb Chandelier, Kurumi, and Shrieker ate the Menos head saved by Kurumi before they shivered in delight as power filled their very existences.
The Shrieker, while happy gaining more power, was annoyed by the interference of Shidou. While the Shrieker didn't look it, he was a wanderer. He had fled England when the Shidou family attacked him, and the Shrieker was less than pleased to see that man again. Especially when he had that boy right in his grasp, Issei Hyoudou would've been dead right there and then had it not been for Shidou.
Fisher noticed this and spoke to him. [Shrieker. I know you have a personal vendetta with the Shidou family but wait until their gone. Being too stubborn will get you killed. Plus, I have some news for you. A certain cockatiel you know has been purchased today by one of the humans. Numb Chandelier almost got destroyed by one of the exorcists but escaped the area until she was nearly killed.* He said as Chandelier looked away.
[It was that woman's fault! Had it not been for her, I would've gladly had their souls!*
Shrieker laughed at this and replied. [Guess the old saying is true. Don't send a woman to do a man's work.* [Want to say that again, Bird Brain?* [Anytime. Anyplace, you Squid Bitch.*
Kurumi released her aura. [ENOUGH!!* Shrieker and Chandelier immediately stopped their stupid squabble, making Fisher sigh relief. [Thank Hueco Mundo for that interruption...*
The Hollows finished their meal, and they began to moan in joy before Fisher smiled as he felt the power make him stronger. He smiled as he reached into the prison and pulled out a small black orb. [This small orb is supposed to make us Arracnars. Being who is said to be stronger than Vasto Lorde's so I'll be using it on two of us. That's all it can do since the man who gave it to me said it would provide us with power beyond imagination. I'll be the first one, so does anyone else wishes to be next?*
Kurumi slithered up to Fisher, a grin plastered on her face. [I believe I shall become an Arrancar, I want to see the boy that angered Shrieker so much.*
Fisher nodded as the orb consumed them both in bright light until the two Hollows were now humans of sorts like the one that took Grand Fisher's place was a smaller, more humanoid version of his old self with a tattooed face. His mask remnants consist of his entire lower jaw, obscuring half of his face.
The one that took over Kurumi's place was a light brown-haired girl with red eyes, armor covering her bust, head as a helmet of sorts that had a long tail come down the back of her helmet.
The two looked at their semi-naked bodies as Kurumi looked at her bust and tilted her head. "What purpose do these strange meat sacks have on my chest? Their heavy and are annoying." Kurumi said as she poked her chest as Fisher smiled at his form before seeing the sword. "Ah yes. This is the source of our power. Now we have powers similar to those of a Soul Reaper."
Chandelier patted Kurumi's shoulder. [Trust me, honey, you can find a lot of uses with those.*
Kurumi looked down at her bust before swinging them around until she had stars in her eyes. "I get it! I can use these as weapons to beat my opponent's head into the ground! Thanks, Chandelier!" Kurumi said with a joyful smile while Chandelier sighed at her friends' lack of understanding of the human body. [I mean using them to seduce others.*
Kurumi's face blushed at this. "Wait. Seriously?!" Shrieker immediately spoke up. [Use those tits on that Hyoudou piece of shit! He had a woman with big tits with him, so that must be his weakness!*
Kurumi gasped at this before tilting her head to the side. "But how do I seduce? Do I just slap him with these meat sacs? They look like emergency rations in case I get hungry." Kurumi said as she wanted to bite it until Fisher stopped her. "Kurumi. Stop." "Okay, but now what do we do?" "Simple. Now we test this power. Shrieker. When those exorcists leave, go and hunt down the boy. I know you still have your game going on with him." Fisher said as Shrieker smiled at his boss before nodding. [Excellent. Thank you, Fisher, and I assure you that it'll be a lot of fun.* Shrieker said as he flew away from the cemetery.
Fisher sighed before he turned to Kurumi. "Should he fail, it'll be up to you to deal with the Hyoudou boy." Fisher gave off a maniacal grin. "I have a certain orange-haired brat to deal with, and it'll be quite the reunion."
Fisher said as he made his way to the temple before Chandelier and Kurumi looked at each other. "Now what?" [….Time to teach you how to flirt.] "Oh? I'm ready, Sensei." 'I wonder if I can use this as a weapon on women to take out both the orange-haired one with the Hyoudou kid.'
