Chapter 29: Unlucky
Shiro yawned as he stood in front of Kukaku in the early morning hours. Ichigo had never gone to bed the night before and for some odd reason Yoruichi was looking down like a beaten animal. Whatever the reason, he didn't want to know about it. "I don't know the story behind your eyes," Kukaku began only for Shiro to roll them at her. "but I'm going to turn them into a distraction."
"Huh?" Shiro inquired with a quirk of a brow.
"You are going to scare the fuck out of those Shinigami." She grinned. "You look like a damn hollow and we're going to use that against them." Her grin vanished at how disinterested the teen looked at this idea.
Shiro sighed with boredom. "Like how?" he asked as he took his pinky and rubbed the inside of his ear. Flicking the dirt off his finger he continued to give her a disinterested look.
"Out of the two of you, only you look like something not to fuck with." Kukaku shook her head. "Ichigo seems like a nice kid, but he doesn't send the chills down someone's spine."
Shiro understood this. He was only one who could pull off the demon look during halloween. "Okay." He then thought of someone hurting Ichigo, his anger built up before reopened his eyes and gave Kukaku a spine chilling grin. "I hope you understand the monster I really can be."
Kukaku's eyes widened at the look the teen was giving her and shivered slightly. "Yeah, that look should do it."
"Yo, Shiro-" Ichigo's voice caught Shiro's attention. Almost immediately the evil look vanished from his face before looking towards his brother. "have you seen Yoruichi?"
"I don't think you should get near her." Uryu's voice sounded as he and the others exited the Shiba house and walked towards them.
"Why?" Ichigo asked sounding confused.
"Um..." Orihime began but was uncertain what to say.
"You have a habit at grabbing things when you sleep." Chad explained nicely.
Shiro looked over to where Yoruichi was muttering something about her ruined tail. Putting that together with Chad's statement, Shiro's felt his shoulders shake before he began laughing. Not many people had ever heard him laugh, but when they did they usually described it as an evil cackle. Ichigo looked even more confused by his brothers laughter. Getting annoyed by the teens laughter Yoruichi clawed the Shiro's leg. "Ouch!" Shiro yelped.
"Not funny." Yoruichi muttered.
"Uh," Ichigo began as he noticed Yoruichi's crooked tail "what happened-"
Shiro slapped a hand over Ichigo's mouth before shaking his head at his brother. "Alright, let's do this!" Kukaku yelled out as the group got into her canon where Ganju began to recite a spell in which Kukaku did the same outside of the canon before the group was shot off towards the Seireitei.
"Ichigo pull your reiatsu back!" Uryu yelled at the orange haired teen.
"Sorry!" Ichigo apologized as he took a moment pull his spiritual power back.
"Not that much!" Shiro chastised.
"Well sorry!" Ichigo yelled back sounding annoyed.
As this was happening Ganju was trying to read out the complicated spell. The whole group was hurtling through the air towards the Seireitei. They had very little chance of success if everyone wasn't paying attention. Ichigo had worked so hard for a week to gain some control over his reiatsu, but it would seem that he hadn't gained as much control as he thought. Thus with his hands on the spear, Ichigo was frowning at the impossible problem he now had. If he didn't gain control they'd crash into the Seireitei with everyone getting hurt.
Touching Ichigo's shoulder, Shiro spread his own power over his brother to help him focus and smiled when it was a success. Ichigo looked towards him. "Thanks."
With that problem solved, Ganju was able to fully concentrate on reading the spell to its completion. The orb the group was in slammed into the barrier of the Seireitei causing graces to appear in the barrier before it allowed the orb to pass through. The group flew passed the outer ring of homes, apartments and stores to the area where the squad divisions began. Unluckily they ended up crashing in one of the more unsavory squads, but it also held the largest of courtyards.
It was none other than the eleventh division.
