The Lost Shinigami

by makoto x chelia

Takumi Urahara, believing himself to be a human who could see spirits yet with no real powers within the crazy world of Shinigami's, and Hollows, went through life trying his best with what little he had to work with, but that changed when he met a certain Shinigami, the same for Karin and Yuzu Kurosaki, and their adventure began, digging into his past, to fight for the future.

4. The parakeet part one

Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

Clarent excalibur; Thanks very much! Yeah, she's gonna shake up quite a few things! Sure, I could see that happening, Giselle in the Soul Society...she might very well be facing off against someone there. I guess that they could, that would be a nice tie in for the future. Karin's gonna get her powers soon yeah. That's how I was thinking of it anyway, Hiyori will probably join around the time of the Hueco Mundo arc or something, I haven't decided yet, but Nemu will be his first Lieutenant, I thought about having Rukia join his squad until the time skip where she can become the Lieutenant of Squad 13, but I don't know yet, I might have Hanataro join Takumi's squad as well. Yeah, that's how Hiyori should be, beating up Shinji lol. Sure, it could be Nemu who comes, it would be nice to establish that relationship sooner. She could do that. That would be pretty cool for her power.

Derek 23; Thank you!

Crenin; I don't know about Tatsuki yet, perhaps she could. And thanks very much!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks very much! He surely has yeah, he can whip up a few things if given enough time, we'll be seeing that definitely more during the Soul Society arc, seeing his intellect shining through. He did yeah, he helped the siblings get back together once more, and yeah, Orihime and Takumi are definitely getting closer. Ooh, Giselle's got some plans. It's going to be fun when he unlocks his Shikai, and yeah, going to Captain's gonna be fun, Captain Takumi~

Guest 1; She has yeah, and perhaps they could join~

Silver crow; Thanks very much! And yeah, it's been sorted now~ Yeah, but that would be difficult for even Takumi to achieve. The only other possible way is if Takumi's either a Quincy, or Fullbringer, or both and had elemental powers like, I don't know, he could be W the Water or V the Vibrations or S the Shaker something for the Quincy side or a Fullbring that does one of those aspects, just a scenario if he is Quincy which I can't confirm or deny right now, and we've seen with Ichigo who incorporated his Fullbring into his Zanpakuto though since it basically was the same power as his Zanpakuto's so nothing really changed besides a power boost, so it could be possible either way. It would be cool if she did join back up since I remember reading about how she missed the Soul Society. He's not no, Chad's powers are alright, but its basically arm armour and energy blasts, something other characters could do. She has yeah, and it seems she has got her eyes on Takumi huh~? He did yeah~ They'd be cool polar opposite friends. Takumi and Yachiru's relationship is gonna be fun. Well, Yama and Takumi are gonna have some, interesting interactions. He surely is yeah. And yeah, by that time, Ichigo was throwing around four Sternritter's easily so Takumi could too. Well, how do you know Takumi wasn't raised in the Soul Society? Hehe, can't spoil anything though. Yeah, those sound cool for Takumi's sword. That would be funny from Candice. Sure, sounds good to me. Well, I couldn't spoil if he has or not. Well, Takumi will prove his worth during the Soul Society arc, I can't spoil how though. Maybe yeah. Perhaps she might be yeah. I'm not sure he needs Hollow powers, he could have Fullbring. Yeah maybe. Yeah, I've got some ideas for his sword, and some of those might appear. Yeah, Takumi would probably deal with him, and yeah, he could do that. Takumi might share those thoughts on perfection, but with a twist on it. Yeah, he's going to be able to do normal things you'd expect, electrocute people, shock them, increase his speed with electric, I've also got some fun ideas for some unconventional uses of lightning mixed with Takumi's hobby. Sure, he could yeah. They'd be cool! He could yeah~ It would have to have a purpose, maybe the level of power it releases or something.

Ragna; Thanks for the votes! Yeah, I'd be changing somethings in the last arc, most of its pretty fine, I like most of the fights, I wouldn't make it so the main Villain could not only see the future, but change it too, as that's horribly broken, seeing the future is fine as that can change if used in the right way or if he only saw one persons future at a time, and couldn't see someone else's allowing surprise attacks or something and had to switch between people which could bring out an interesting battle, but changing the future it means there's no way you'd ever win without a miracle or something happening to stop all his powers. And yeah Tier, she'd be saved if I wrote that arc, it just kinda never came to anything and we don't know what happened to her unless it's been revealed in a light novel or something. I love Bleach as its one of my favourite series, but yeah, towards the end with the main Villain, it kinda went off the rails, just changing a few minor things could make Yhwach into a menacing and dangerous antagonist, but also a defeatable Villain without relying on a miracle to happen but relying on tactics, and overcoming his power with techniques and such.

Guest 2; Sure, I'm sure Soi Fon would even request those things~ Sure, I could see inner Karin/Zangetsu being like that.

Guest 3; Sure, I could see that happening, I like the sound of that! And yeah, those reasons for the other Captains are pretty sound, Kenpachi would want an enemy to fight, and Soi Fon would want Yoruichi around more, who'd be with Takumi most of the time so she'd be with him in the Soul Society maybe~ Yeah, I was thinking something like that in regards to his Lieutenants. That would be quite funny, and that would be a Nemu thing to do~

Guest 4; Yeah, they could do by, by the time he's in Soul Society, they could make Squad Twelve their meeting place when he's the Captain. And yeah, Rukia giving him the haori would be quite the moment, since she was the one who birthed his powers, so her giving him the Captains haori could be a symbol of their meeting and trust in the other.

Guest 5; I could see Takumi being interested in such things, maybe it could end up being Takumi's and Nemu's 'child' or something, like Nemuri Hachigo, only difference being having Takumi's blonde hair or something. Yeah, they'd be cool for Nemu, she seems more of a hand to hand fighter. That would be awesome!

Guest 6; Yeah, they could become friends. At the end of the series it wasn't confirmed, but yeah, by the Quincy war, both Nel and Grimmjow were around. That would be nice to have a bond between the two of them.

Guest 7; Any of those would be pretty awesome, I like the idea of the stealth one, it could be used for some interesting things, then again so could the portal, she'd be able to attack from different directions, the opponent wouldn't know where she'd be coming from, and then gaining power from being damaged, that would be awesome.

Andrew123456; A female Renji, I hadn't considered that, I have had some suggestions for a female Toshiro, female Hanataro, female Luppi (Arrancar), female Yukio (the fullbringer) and female Gremmy (the Quincy), but yeah, Renji could be interesting. And as for the others, they'd be pretty awesome too!

Guest 8; Yeah, maybe she could believe something like that~ Yeah, Takumi would have gone about that differently and Giselle could like him for those reasons as well. Giselle and Yuzu will meet this chapter, on a one and one basis, and we'll see them beginning a certain something between them. She's affiliated with them yeah, right now anyway~ That would be quite the funny moment~

Insert my name; Those would be quite funny to see, and definitely, I could see Hiyori grabbing Shinji like that, it would be quite funny.

Guest 9; I checked it out after reading your review, and yeah, that looks pretty awesome, maybe I could incorporate that into this story somehow. At least for like Nel or Tier or something.

Skull Flame; He surely can yeah, quite scary what he can make huh~? I'm sure he would. Indeed, his skills at negotiating with Hiyori seems to be quite good. Well, I can't spoil that right now hehe~ Maybe we do yeah, she's got quite the thing to her.

Oblivious IJ; Yup, they're in it~ Maybe there will be~

Guest007; Thanks, I'm glad that you liked it~ Sure, that sounds pretty cool to me! Those would be pretty cool choices! And I'm glad you're my fan!

Guest 10; Sure, those ideas sound great to me! Yeah Nel could do that! Takumi vs Tier would be pretty cool.

Guest 11; Sure, I don't see why not. Those would be cool, I'd have to think about what they'd do.

Guest 12; That sounds pretty cool to me!

maxbrevan; Thanks very much! Yeah, Takumi's gonna use his Zanpakuto in some quite unique ways, some that might be surprising. I've got a few ideas on how Mayuri joins Aizen. Those are some cool suggestions!

The chosen one; That depends when the Arrancar were made, because in a flashback, it was revealed that Nnoitra and Nel were Espada for a few years in their current Arrancar forms before Aizen got Kisuke's Hokyoku, so right now in the story, Nel should be an Arrancar, so she could technically appear as an Arrancar to Takumi. Maybe even Tier could be considered that as well. Sure, they could do yeah~

Guest 13; That would be a fun comedic sequence~ Thanks for the suggestions!

Guest 14; Sure, that sounds pretty awesome to me! It would be fun if he was with the Grigori and what not.

Tomare tokio; Sure if I do a Pokemon story, I like Ralts too~ Those sound pretty cool ideas to me!

Joker; Sure she could do something like that. Soi Fon vs Giselle would be quite interesting.

Guest 15; Yeah, that could work quite well. Thanks for the suggestions! That could be cool. Yeah, making a body for Kon, it could be quite fun for Takumi to do that.

Guest 16; Yeah, she'd not join right away, probably during the Arrancar arc, when they are ready to go to Hueco Mundo or something, I haven't decided yet. That would be a Hiyori response to Shinji alright~ She could, though probably not fire or ice, since we've got a good number of characters controlling those elements, maybe wind or something.

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!

The parakeet part one

After a night of killing Hollows, Takumi thought that taking a bath would be nice.

Just a relaxing soak within the bath, and since the water had some healing properties, even though he wasn't injured, it seemed to enhance the experience more than anything else, causing Takumi to feel good within the water.

However, he wasn't alone for long.

While his eyes were closed, and allowed the water to do its magic, a young woman came into the room. With a very endowed figure, beautiful golden irises, long hair that came down her back, and she wore...nothing.

Not even a towel.

Everything could be seen.

"Yoruichi-chan, have you come for a bath~?"

Takumi sang out, while his eyes remained closed, knowing her power, but thought that she was in cat form.

He was wrong.

"That's right Takumi." Takumi's eyes shot open at the feminine voice, and saw Yoruichi's naked form slide into the water, his cheeks turned slightly red, she looked like a Goddess in his eyes. "My, you're blushing Takumi. You do look quite cute when you're blushing."

"I-I didn't expect you to b-be like that!"

Yoruichi let out a small laugh, sliding closer to Takumi. Her eyes ran themselves over his own naked form, drinking in every inch of him.

"Well, what can I say? Since you've become a Shinigami, I haven't had much time to spend with you. You're usually dealing with Hollows, or with Rukia-chan."

"Jealous...are we Yoruichi-chan?"

Yoruichi's face lifted into a smirk at the playful tone he used.

She then brought his head to her bust, his face burned red even more at the softness of her chest.

"I don't need to be jealous, I still know how to make you squirm. I know your likes..." Yoruichi's teasing finger slowly slid up his chest, going up his abs, making her smirk. "...I know your desires, so do you desire me…? I'll teach you about women Takumi, I'll teach you how to make us feel good, how about that...?"

Her tongue licked against his ear, making his cheeks turn more red by the second, and a small moaning sound escaped his lips.

She definitely knew how to tease someone.

She definitely knew how to make others feel good with touch alone.

Her soft fingers brushed against his face, lifting it up so they met one another. Their eyes met one another's, their breathing matched one another's.

"How about we share a kiss right now?"

Takumi stared at her blankly.

He could never tell if she was serious or not.

But to kiss Yoruichi…

She then stuck out her tongue.

"Just kidding. I wouldn't do that like this. Maybe later. Maybe I'll do it when you least suspect it hahaha~"

Laughing like a true cat, she was quite the trickster, Takumi thought that for sure.

Yoruichi then casually placed his head back onto her breast once more, and her fingers slid through his blonde hair. The feeling of his hair was what captivated her more than anything else, she really liked it.

"Takumi, you ever need anything, you just come to me about it, okay?"

"Yoruichi-chan..."

"I'm just saying, I'll make sure you're safe, no matter what. Because, I really do care about you." Takumi's face lifted upwards ever so slightly, Yoruichi's face lifted up as well, and forced his head deeper into her boobs. "You're just so adorable! I can't believe someone so cute came from Kisuke! Honestly, it is so surprising!"

Takumi's face brushed against her breasts, while she moved up and down in time with him, causing him to feel many different things in his life, though he couldn't deny that he was enjoying the time with Yoruichi, it was a welcome change from the Hollows.

Walking towards school in a hurry, was Yuzu Kurosaki.

Since she was in a small rush, due to having some duties that she had to do in the morning, she was a little late. Karin had already gone to school, so she knew that she was late then with her being the late one for a change.

While she ran through the streets of Karakura, her skirt swayed in the air, and she felt herself panting from running so fast…

But then she was stopped when a man who was running in the opposite direction came crashing through.

She was knocked onto the ground, and she groaned.

"Ow..."

She looked up to see the man holding a bird.

The birds eyes looked towards Yuzu who cocked her head.

Something about the bird, which she believed was a parakeet, seemed quite interesting to her.

Yuzu then stood up, seeing the man continuing to run away.

"H-Hey, you could of at least said sorry or something!"

Yuzu complained, only for the man to turn around and his eyes…

They looked like he had been through a lot.

"Don't say such things you annoying girl."

Yuzu blinked at the new information hitting her.

But then she heard her watch going off, just as a Hollow appeared above her.

"A Hollow..."

She tapped her watch, and summoned her bow, looking around the area, but couldn't see one. She even had her glasses, and earrings on, but she still didn't see anything at all.

From up above, there was some bricks that were loose, the Hollow smirked, looking down at the bird, and then chuckled darkly, pushing the bricks off the roof, and they headed down towards the man and the bird.

"A-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The man screamed, and closed his eyes.

Yuzu however pulled back her bow, and fired off a multitude of arrows. With precision, her arrows pierced the bricks, breaking them into smaller harmless stones, with small dust coming off them, and eventually, Yuzu managed to destroy all of the bricks, the Hollow's eyes widening at the sight, and turned towards Yuzu with her bow and arrow.

"That girl, she has some power, does she? Hmmm, maybe it would be interesting to take her soul away from her hahaha."

The Hollow laughed to itself, and moved away from the area.

Yuzu scanned the roof with her eyes, and couldn't see the Hollow, she had just missed it. Then she looked at the man who was looking at the bird with angry eyes.

"You're a cursed bird you are!"

The man raised the cage in his hands, and swung it outwards, ready to hit the cage against the wall, when Yuzu stepped in.

"Hey! Stop it! Why are you doing that to the bird?!"

Yuzu cried out, but the man turned towards her, his face dipped into annoyance, and anger.

"You don't understand you annoying girl. This bird has been ruining my life."

"It's only a bird though...how can it ruin your life?"

"Because its cursed!"

The man snapped at Yuzu who backed away slowly.

Running up however, was Takumi alone in his Gigai, and looked around.

"Damn, it seems to have gone." His eyes scanned the area, then looked towards Yuzu. "Oh Yuzu-chan, you're here too."

Yuzu's face lit up, turning around towards him, then moved towards him at a quickened pace.

"Takumi-kun! W-What are you d-doing here?!"

"I felt a Hollow around here. But I can't sense any now."

"Yeah...my watch went off, and up there Takumi-kun-" Yuzu pointed towards the tall building while the man with the bird began moving away. "-some bricks came off, but I managed to fire some arrows to save that man there."

"What man?"

Yuzu's finger went towards the man...but he was already gone.

"O-Oh, he's gone. Strange...he said weird things, like his bird, he was saying that the bird was cursed."

"The bird being cursed...huh."

"Is that possible Takumi-kun?"

Takumi furrowed his brow.

"Curses as far as I am aware don't exist, but there are certain powers that could bring bad luck to people but it isn't exactly a curse. If anything, he's probably just blaming his own bad luck on the bird."

Yuzu cocked her head, but then realized that they were alone.

Her eyes went between herself, and Takumi, and her cheeks turned a little dark red.

"S-So, Kuchiki-san isn't here..."

"Ah, she went on ahead to school. We got the Hollow signature, and it wasn't that tough, so she went to school to explain that I'd be late."

"I-I see...w-wait! I'm late too! Ooh! I'm going to be told off!" Yuzu's body moved up and down to the bemusement of Takumi. "I'm going to be told off! My perfect record will be laid to waste! I'm not going to be able to get into the best university Takumi-kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!"

Takumi let a small laugh to escape his mouth.

"Alright, calm down Yuzu-chan. I'm sure your record wont be tarnished with one late."

Yuzu calmed down slightly, feeling a little foolish for getting hyper.

"I-I guess you're right..."

"Then, you get onto school, I'll just go up there to see if it was indeed a Hollow, or just a bad coincidence."

"And if it was the Hollow?"

"Then maybe the bird being cursed wasn't an exaggeration."

His reply made her furrow her eyebrows.

"Then, I can help you Takumi-kun."

"Aren't you worried about being late?"

Yuzu giggled awkwardly.

"Ma-Maybe a little, but being with Takumi-kun is fine for me….I-I mean! Helping Takumi-kun is fine for me! D-Don't worry about the incredible details! J-Just being with you alone...w-wait, I didn't mean...ooh! I'm sorry for being weird!"

"Don't worry, I find weird adorable~"

Yuzu's cheeks erupted with redness.

The thought that Takumi found her weirdness cute was something that lifted her heart upwards.

"T-Then, I'll do my best!"

Takumi's hand lightly petted her head, making her face erupt into a small smile.

---

It was a normal day in the school and they currently were on break from lessons so they went to the roof to have normal conversations, Takumi and Orihime were talking together with Rukia. Karin and Yuzu were also chatting away normally with Tatsuki, Rukia was glad that Chizuru wasn't trying anything with her right now, but felt eyes on her.

Rukia looked at the drink that was before her, something that she had gotten from the fridge at the Urahara shop.

But she didn't see an opening.

"What is this? Where do you open it...?"

Takumi's eyes went towards her, seeing her lifting up the juice box, unable to see an opening.

"It's a juice box. Use the straw to poke a hole."

"Straw…?"

Rukia examined the juice box, lifting it up, and swirling it around.

Takumi had to admit that it was quite cute that someone as intelligent as Rukia didn't know what a juice box looked like and how to use it. He thought the Soul Society probably didn't have them, or she just hadn't encountered one before.

Either way, it was adorable in his eyes.

"Ah, Kuchiki-chan. Here, your straw."

Orihime pointed out the straw to Rukia, who furrowed her eyes.

"I see...thanks Inoue."

Orihime placed her hand to her forehead, and smiled brightly.

"No problem!"

"Now, how to use this...where do I pierce the juice box…?"

Takumi couldn't let her suffer, so he took the juice box, and straw, and poked a hole in it for her.

Rukia's face lifted up slightly.

"Thank you Takumi."

"You're welcome."

Rukia then began to drink the juice, while Takumi couldn't contain the smile on his face.

It was times like this that he liked.

Quiet, happy times between classmates, just enjoying one another's company and speaking about things that truly didn't matter in the end, yet were important to the people that were involved, like Rukia's juice box.

But then Tatsuki left to get something to drink, so Takumi gathered the others around so they could talk about the supernatural.

"Now, we've got a new mystery! Yuzu-chan may have come across a cursed bird."

"A cursed bird?"

Rukia gave suspicious eyes.

"Right. According to Yuzu-chan, a man was calling a bird a curse, and blaming it for his problems. Usually, I'd just say that it is nonsense. But then a Hollow showed up, and he almost had a ton of bricks dropped on him, right Yuzu-chan?"

Yuzu nods.

"Yes, that's right Takumi-kun. He ran off though so I couldn't see him. He had a parakeet bird, it had nice white feathers. But since he called it a curse...and with the Hollow showing up as well...I was worried that they might be connected."

Rukia continued furrowing her eyebrows, while Orihime glanced at her.

"Kuchiki-chan, since you know more than us, is it possible for a bird to be cursed?"

"Well, it depends what you call a curse. There is a way to place Kido spells on animals, and then there's genetically altering them to do peoples bidding's, and what not. But, a straight up curse, like voodoo magic...I'd say probably not. But, it can't be ignored that this could happen. I believe that we should search for this bird. Though to look for him...I guess that it would be difficult. But, finding Hollow's would be easier. If the Hollow appears again, then we can track that down."

"Ooh yes! We're going on an adventure it seems!"

Orihime cheered, while the others smiled at her infectious attitude.

Looking from a distance, was Giselle Gewelle.

Her eyes danced between the people that were sat together, and then tilted her head curiously, her eyes fixated on Takumi himself, making her face lift upwards.

---

Later on as the sun was setting in the sky, Karin and Yuzu walked home together. Yuzu kept looking at her watch from Takumi, and it made her blush. It was quite cute, the watch, and the fact that she got it from Takumi, made it all the more better.

It was a present from Takumi, something she didn't think that she would receive.

Even if Karin and Rukia also got one, it was something that Yuzu thought was quite lovely.

Karin also noticed that Yuzu seemed to be silently blushing of what she was doing.

"Geez, it's only like a watch or something."

"But even then Karin...Takumi-kun gave it to me. It's like a present, he wants us to be safe." Yuzu let out a soft little sound, but then stopped when her, and Karin's watches began to beep. "Karin..."

Yuzu put on the glasses, and earrings, while Karin summoned her sword from her watch.

"Yeah, it seems that there's no one around. I guess it's time to test these things out."

"Right!"

Yuzu brought out the bow from the watch, and pulled the string back, revealing an energy arrow.

She looked at it, and smiled slightly.

"It really is amazing that Takumi-kun invented things like this."

"I guess that it is pretty amazing. But this is going to be quite interesting. Now where is that Hollow…?"

"Sh-Should we go and get Takumi-kun Karin?"

Yuzu asked her sister, but Karin shook her head.

"Nah, we can deal with it. Besides I'm sure he's already been alerted. So if it is too much for us, then he'll come and help us out. But, we have to prove that we can stand with the best of them Yuzu, so don't show a worried face."

"I guess..."

Yuzu still displayed worry despite what Karin said.

Then a howling came from up above, and a small Hollow came down towards them. It looked like a small bird type Hollow, Karin smirked at the sight, and raised her sword up into the air.

"Yuzu! Fire at it, and lure it towards me!"

"Y-Yes! I will do my best!"

Yuzu took aim at the Hollow as Takumi arrived with Rukia.

He looked between the two girls, and the Hollow.

"Takumi, slay it."

"Give it a second, lets see what they can do."

Rukia furrowed her eyebrows as Yuzu fired an arrow into the air, at a good precise timing that it pierced the arm of the Hollow. It let out a small cry, and blood came from its wound, Karin's face lifted up.

"Yeah! That's it Yuzu! Now, draw it down here, and I'll slice it apart!"

"Yes Karin!"

Having some more confidence, Yuzu fired a series of arrows towards the Hollow. She missed deliberately, due to her luring the Hollow downwards towards them, firing one above the Hollows head, forcing it to dive downwards.

Rukia watched with a small smile on her face, as Takumi grinned.

"You want them to know they can defend themselves, right?"

"Sometimes, I might not be able to make it in time. Not just me, but they also need experience, don't you think so? Of course, if it becomes too hairy, I'll step in to help them out, but this seems pretty good to me. Besides, I can't see any bird around here, so this Hollow probably isn't connected to the one that we are looking for."

Rukia slowly nods her head, as Yuzu fired a precise arrow at the Hollow's face, clipping the side of the Hollows head, sending it into a spin, allowing Karin to rush forward towards him.

"Time to slay you Hollow!"

Takumi let out a small laugh as Rukia gave him an intrigued face.

Karin came up against the Hollow, and swung her blade. The Hollow that was spinning, managed to pause, and thrust its hand towards Karin's body.

Karin however raised her blade and pulled backwards, swinging downwards, and unleashed a thin wave of energy, which left a deep gash in the Hollows hand, and arm, and blood erupted outwards.

"Ewwww, I don't like this part."

Karin grimaced, seeing the Hollow pulling backwards in pain, which allowed her time to get close to the Hollow, and bring her blade down towards the mask of the Hollow. The blade managed to cut through the Hollow's mask, slicing it down the middle, and it began to disappear from the world, Karin smiled to herself, as Yuzu giggled.

"We did it Karin! We did it!"

Yuzu hugged her sister tightly.

Karin gave a slight smile, tightening her hand.

"Yeah...you're right, we managed to stop it ourselves."

Karin let out a small pant, while Takumi smiled down at the pair.

"I suppose we weren't needed after all."

"I guess not."

Takumi, who was carrying Rukia, jumped away with her in his arms, leaving the girls to have a good night to themselves.

---

The next morning, Yuzu woke up with a small cry coming from down below. She didn't get what it was, it didn't sound like her Father, or her sister.

So she slipped on some clothes, and went to investigate.

She went down the stairs, and saw that the lights of the clinic were on. It was barely seven in the morning, it was surprising that anyone would be there unless there had been an accident in the town and they had been brought there recently.

"I don't want it!"

A strong yet scared voice came out, and Yuzu, who went to round the corner, got a surprise when a cage was thrown at her, she caught it, and saw a white parakeet inside of it. She saw the bird, and remembered it being the same one that she saw yesterday, knowing that she'd have to take it to Takumi and the others.

"Wait a second!" Isshin came around the corner. "You need treatment! You were in a serious accident!"

"I don't want it! If that creepy bird is around!"

Yuzu looked at the bird, and then towards the man who was storming off.

"Wait, what's wrong with the bird exactly?"

Yuzu asked the man, who gave it an odd stare.

"It's...It's cursed! I should of listened to the others! They all said that there was something wrong with it! You keep it! But be warned, it will only cause you pain and misery, that's what's wrong with that bird!"

Yuzu didn't quite get it.

She wondered if this curse was real or not.

But the man stormed off, Isshin gave him a curious stare.

"Weird, why would he say it is cursed? Isn't he a little weird Yuzu~?"

"Yup, he surely was Dad! Anyway, I'll go and begin making breakfast. Don't worry about the parakeet Dad, I'll take care of it! And then take it to a rescue center!"

"Aah, that's my girl Yuzu! You are too nice! Now, give Daddy a hug!"

Isshin jumped Yuzu, but she casually dodged to the side, and left down the corridor, Isshin's head hit the wall, making him cry out in pain.

Yuzu swayed side to side, and walked towards the kitchen.

But then there was a knock at the door.

"Odd, someone coming here this early...maybe Takumi-kun found out about us already huh..."

Yuzu walked towards the door, and opened it, revealing Giselle to be stood there. Her eyes swayed side to side, then focused in on Yuzu and smiled happily.

"Hello there. Sorry for coming so early, but I couldn't wait anymore~ I simply had to do something and come to see what was going on~"

"Ooh, you're coming to see...Karin?"

Giselle showed a smile on her face.

"I'm not sure who Karin is. I've come to see Masaki Kurosaki-chan. Hehe, you kinda look like her, so are you her daughter or something? I know she lives here, she has done for a good while now."

Yuzu's face fell down slightly.

The hard truth.

Since it seemed like Giselle didn't know...she didn't know how she was going to explain this.

She didn't want to break anyone's hearts.

But now she was going to have to do it.

"...You haven't heard."

"Heard...what? I can't feel her...so, is she out at this time. Though I haven't sensed her for a few days, so maybe she's not in this town at all right now~ Haha, that's like Masaki-chan, she always disappeared weirdly~ So, can I come in and wait for her to come back? Or, tell me when she's back and I'll come back then."

Yuzu's face continued to fall, Giselle gave her a curious face.

"You best come in then. I have something to tell you."

Giselle didn't get it.

And she didn't like the tone Yuzu used either, it was worrying.

But she followed Yuzu into the nearby living room, and sat down beside her.

Giselle found that this was a little weird.

She glanced at the bird, and sensed something within it.

"So, what's going on with Masaki-chan? I'm sure that she's being weird, and playing tricks on me. She usually did anyway."

"Erm...I'm sorry...I didn't...It's just, Masaki Kurosaki is..."

"She is…?"

Giselle felt a little worried now.

It seemed like Yuzu was on the verge of crying.

She didn't understand.

Yuzu steeled herself.

She didn't want to lose herself now, she couldn't do that.

"...She's dead."

As soon as Giselle heard that, her eyes looked as if they lost life.

She looked as if she was going to pass out.

She didn't think she'd be able to carry on.

"N-No, she couldn't be dead. Did she get sick or something? D-Did she get an illness!?"

"No...she was...she was killed, a few years ago now..."

Giselle couldn't accept that for even a second.

"K-Killed...she was killed...she was killed...b-but, she couldn't of been killed. She wouldn't of been killed, she's strong...she's very strong, she wouldn't of lost to anyone...it had to be someone powerful, right? It had to be someone that..."

Yuzu saw how distraught Giselle was getting.

Tears threatened to escape her eyes.

Her body convulsed in place.

It was like she was ready to break.

"I-I'm sorry for breaking the news like this...I didn't know how else to say it...a-are you going to be okay?"

Giselle didn't register what she said.

It didn't even cross her mind what she was saying.

Isshin walked into the room, and saw that Giselle was stood there, his eyes widening as if he had seen a ghost.

"So, it's you..."

"Dad, you know her?"

Yuzu's innocent question was met with a disgruntled look from Isshin, something that actually surprised her.

"She...She was a friend of your Mom's Yuzu!" Isshin tried to appear as his usual self, but he could see the pissed off eyes of Giselle. "S-So, it's been a while since I've seen you Giselle-san. What's going on with you?"

Giselle's eyes narrowed upon him, and strolled forward.

She looked ready to strike.

But as she got close, she noticed a picture of Masaki on the wall, and then her eyes returned to Isshin.

"You failed to protect her."

Her voice was low, almost too cold for a girl with her kind of face.

Isshin's head bowed in defeat.

"...Yes, I did. That day..."

Isshin tried to explain, but Giselle wasn't having any of it.

"I'll find her killer, and kill them myself, along with anyone who gets in my way. Is that okay with you Isshin Kurosaki, or should I say Isshin Shiba, the Shinigami?"

Isshin's eyes narrowed upon the young girl, who smirked, pulling backwards.

"Wait a second-"

"Well, goodbye~" Giselle showed a happy smile, turning to Yuzu. "Thanks for letting me know about Masaki-chan! I'm sorry about losing your Mom!"

"T-Thank you, I'm sorry that you had to learn this way..."

Giselle waved her fingers out in front of her.

"No worries at all. You've just helped me that's all." Her eyes went to the parakeet. "Oh, that bird. You better take it to Takumi-kun, he might be able to help you out with that bird."

"Takumi-kun...why him?"

Yuzu wondered aloud, only for Giselle to smile, and run off.

Yuzu was left wondering what was going on, she didn't get it at all.

---

Giselle went towards a secure area that looked to be something of a bedroom with large beds scattered around, couches, a bar type area, and even some arcade games in the corner, and walked inside to see four girls sitting around. One girl had black hair with a scowl on her face named Bambietta, another girl had light green hair was quite busty along with having an angry face called Candice, another had blonde hair and she was a lot shorter than her comrades, eating a lollipop and her name was Liltotto, and finally, one had pink hair, and she was the bustiest of all of them named Meninas, each wearing what seemed to be school girl outfits.

Upon seeing Giselle, the girls moved forward, all looking concerned.

"What's wrong Giselle-chan?"

Liltotto's question was met with a sad face of Giselle.

"It's Masaki-chan, I just found out that she's dead."

"It was the Shinigami!" Candice roared, sparks of electric surrounding her. "Seriously, they are running this town like they own the damn place!"

"They do own the damn place you bitch."

Liltotto explained with a scowl on her face, Bambietta however growled.

"Not for long. Don't worry Giselle, we wont allow these damn Shinigami get away with it. We only came here to meet this Masaki, but now that we're here with these Shnigami's, lets tear them to pieces."

"Oh, but don't hurt the blonde one, I really like him~ He's adorable~"

Giselle pulled a funny face, sticking out her tongue.

"He's our target! Of course I have to hurt him! Him, and any others! Do you understand!?"

Liltotto, Meninas, Candice and Giselle each furrowed their eyebrows.

Bambietta didn't look pleased that they weren't speaking at all.

"Well?!"

All four gave her curious looks, before rolling their eyes.

"You're such a bitch."

"I know, your voice is so grating."

"Shut up Bambi, I've had enough of you!"

"Hehehe~ I don't feel like hurting Takumi-kun though~ He's really kind~"

Liltotto, Meninas, Candice and Giselle answered her.

Bambietta gripped her head angrily.

"Well, it doesn't matter! Giselle, begin making Zombie's! Meninas, we're going to show them your power! Candice, we're going to shock them! And you Liltotto-"

"No, you're going about it the wrong way."

Bambietta fell down to the ground.

"W-What?"

"I said, you're going about it the wrong way. Remember, it isn't just the fact that the Shinigami are here. Remember, Kisuke Urahara is also in this town. If we go after his son recklessly, then we would also perish, don't you get it?"

Bambietta's cheeks burned red with annoyance.

"Seriously, don't even try such things with me. It doesn't matter if he's here or not."

"It does if we want to survive. We aren't strong enough to take him down yet. We can't go in recklessly-"

"Lets keep Takumi-kun and cuddle him~"

Giselle swayed side to side, Bambietta shook her head with annoyance once more.

"Whatever, I'm going to do whatever I want. I'll even take down this bastard Kisuke if he shows up. In fact, I'll blow him up along with this town! We wont lose to Shinigami! We are the Quincy's! We can't lose!"

Each of the girls looked on curiously, and didn't know what to say as a result.

But they did know one thing…

Bambietta had her eyes on Takumi, and she wasn't going to quit until she had finished him off.

---

Chizuru had some bad luck recently. Being unable to win the hearts of the girls that she loved, like Rukia and Orihime, it made her feel quite sad about the event. Though soon, her luck...wasn't going to change.

In fact, it was going to be quite the trial.

However, she saw from across the road as she walked, was Giselle walking with Bambietta and the others, casually having a conversation about many different things, as she watched them from across the road, near a building that was being repaired, so scaffolding was around, with equipment being up high.

"Why are you going to the school anyway Gigi?"

Liltotto's question was met with Giselle sticking out her tongue.

"Because I want to see more of Takumi-kun. You should've seen it, the other day, it was a beautiful scene~ Aah, I get the feeling that there's more to him than meets the eyes, and when he hugged that girl, that got me feeling all tingly~"

Bambietta rolled her eyes.

"Don't get too attached to him."

"Just because you are wanting to get rid of the Shinigami, I don't hold grudges-"

"They slaughtered the Quincy!" Bambietta yelled out. "You really want to let them get away with that?"

"Well, of course it was bad, but Takumi-kun didn't do it."

Giselle defended, Liltotto who ate some cheese string, tilted her head.

"Does this make us any better by going after someone that wasn't even involved with the death of many Quincy anyway?"

"All Shinigami are the same." Bambietta stated, Candice agreeing. "They can't change, they'll always view us as threats to the world, so they'll always want us to die."

"That's generalization." Liltotto spoke up. "We can't be sure, and honestly, I don't want any part of killing this male Shinigami, there's only a certain few I want to get rid of."

Giselle tilted her head.

"See? Lil-chan is with me, we should just leave Takumi-kun alone."

Bambietta tightened her hand angrily.

"If you wont do it, help me at least set up a good situation. I can do it myself. I'll take care of the little one, and the boy too."

As she said that, Chizuru skipped over towards them, and saw that the five girls were together, it was a dream for Chizuru.

"Who are these Angels before me? You all look so cute! My name is Chizuru Honsho!"

Giselle glanced at Chizuru, then pulled her face, sticking out her tongue and wiggled her tongue up and down goofy like.

"Great to meet you, but we've got things to do so..."

When Giselle tried to dismiss her, Chizuru got close to Bambietta who stared her down.

"What do you want?"

Bambietta demanded, Candice threw her head back.

"We have to go! We don't have time to deal with this girl!"

"Alright, calm down."

Liltotto threateningly said to Candice who scowled right back at her, and walked forward.

"We've got to go now, so go away now."

Candice summoned a small bit of lightning to her finger, and poked Chizuru's shoulder, causing her to jump into the road.

"Alright, you didn't have to be rude about it!"

Chizuru huffed, and walked out deeper into the road.

But then Giselle and the others began walking away, and went to round a corner, when they all felt chills down their backs.

"This feeling..."

Liltotto murmured, Bambietta scowled.

"A damn Hollow. No, more than one..."

"It's coming from back there."

Meninas spoke up, pointing in the direction that they walked from.

"Lets go and exterminate them!"

Candice released her battle cry, while Giselle showed a happy smile.

"Always so quick to jump into action, huh Bambi-chan?"

"Yeah, lets..." Suddenly, they heard a scream, a car swerving, and then screams. "What the hell was that?"

Bambietta and the others ran back towards the road they were on before.

They saw that the scaffolding from before had been hit by a car, it left marks on the road from its wheels, and then they saw that the girl on the ground was Chizuru, she was bleeding from her head profusely. For the most part, it seemed that others hadn't been significantly hurt. But they also saw that there was a few Hollows leering over a few humans and looked ready to finish the job.

"They were probably drawn here due to the spiritual power in this area, maybe even after us."

Liltotto stated, Candice shook her head.

"They're weak anyway, lets just kill them alright!"

Bambietta, Candice, Giselle, Liltotto and Meninas all pushed their heart shaped belt buckles, and released their bows.

They pulled back the string, and took aim.

"Fire!"

They all released their arrows at the same time at the command from Bambietta, and pierced the Hollows in their masks, killing off the Hollows.

"Oh shit..."

Liltotto murmured looking at the situation at hand, Meninas tilted her head seeing Chizuru in such a situation.

"It seems that she's badly damaged, she might even die..."

Giselle casually walked forward, and remembered Masaki, and her kindness, remembering some of her past, remembering the kindness that she was shown, so she walked to the young red headed girl, while the others followed after her.

Standing up above her, Giselle's eyes cast down to Chizuru who looked up with blurry vision.

"Hmmmm, since you're an ordinary human, you'll die from a wound like that. So, how about becoming my Zombie~?"

Chizuru didn't quite understand what that meant, and the last thing she saw was Giselle's sweet smile.

---

That morning, Takumi and Rukia had gone to school early, which was a surprise for Takumi since he usually stayed in. The only reason why he was there was because they went to deal with the Hollow, though they were unaware of the Quincy girls doing it.

"I wonder where those signals went Takumi..."

"Yeah, it seems that they vanished before we had a chance to get there. Strange...I think they were defeated though. Did you feel it when we were in that area?"

"Yeah, it felt like some strong spiritual pressures had been there. Lets keep our guard up."

Takumi nodded, but then groaned.

"I've got to go to the bathroom Rukia-chan, I'll meet you there."

"Sure, I'll head to class."

Rukia waved him off, and moved forward towards the classroom on her own.

While she did, she played with her watch, and spoke to Chappy as much as she could. She loved her watch, she wished that she could have that watch forever, and ever.

When she got to the classroom, she walked inside, and saw that Chizuru was sat there.

But, she seemed...different.

Her eyes were vacant, like she wasn't even there.

Her body looked to be rough, her skin seemed pale.

Her face was that of a deranged woman ready to strike.

Her eyes rolled around in different directions, then focused in on Rukia, who flinched.

"C-Chizuru, good morning."

Rukia hesitated that she would say something.

But she had to at least say that since she had to keep up a facade.

Chizuru's head rolled around, almost unrealistically, something Rukia noticed.

"Zombie Chizuru acknowledges Rukia Kuchiki's entrance to this classroom. You are alone Rukia."

Rukia found that quite strange.

But she moved inside, while Chizuru let out a snarl.

That frightened Rukia a little bit, and saw Chizuru standing up as she neared her own desk.

"Oh God..."

Rukia murmured, while pulling backwards, Chizuru moved her body towards her. Her body twitched with excitement, her eyes beamed ready to pounce. Rukia inhaled and exhaled deeply at the sight of the young girl.

"Rukia...Rukia...Rukia...come to Chizuru...come to Zombie Chizuru..."

She chanted, her voice sounded broken.

"C-Chizuru...w-why are you calling yourself a Zombie?"

Chizuru let out a "Rukia!" and rushed to her, her arms swaying side to side, and her focus dead set on Rukia herself.

Rukia jumped towards the left off her seat as Chizuru's fist slammed against the wall, shaking said wall. Rukia let out a surprised gasp, Chizuru's face twisting and contorting, looking back towards Rukia.

"Zombie Chizuru, wishes for Rukia."

"What…?"

Rukia felt panic run through her body.

Chizuru had the crazy eyes.

It looked like she was ready to take down anyone that was before her.

"...Rukia."

Chizuru let out snarl after snarl, and came closer to Rukia.

Rukia pulled out her gun, and aimed it at Chizuru.

"Alright, back off Chizuru. Don't make me fire. I will fire at you if you don't stop."

She felt something was different about Chizuru.

No, she definitely knew something was different.

"Zombie Chizuru, wants you."

Rukia felt ill at that moment.

"Ooh come on Chizuru, please don't do anything."

Rukia didn't get it. The eyes of rage from Chizuru were on Rukia, she was sure she was going to get jumped at that moment in time.

"Zombie Chizuru, commences plan."

Rukia gained a question mark above her head, while Chizuru rushed forward. She jumped left, and got close to Rukia, who ducked and jumped away, as she saw an energy arrow going through the window, Rukia pushed her head to the side, barely avoiding the arrow which cut her cheek.

"H-Hey Chizuru! What is your problem?! And who just fired at me!?"

"I want...I want...it...I want you...!"

"Aaah!"

Rukia pulled backwards, while Chizuru swung her arms right for Rukia, who ducked the grab sensing it would be dangerous, only for Chizuru to take Rukia by the shoulders, so Rukia pushed her away, but tripped, and body hit the floor hard.

It hurt.

But she saw Chizuru snarling even more.

"Time to...come to me Rukia..."

Chizuru let out a bellowing sound, and went to grab Rukia, when Rukia flipped her body upwards, doing a hand stand, and kicked upwards, right into Chizuru's chin, pushing her up into the air, allowing Rukia to come to her feet, and slam her foot into Chizuru's stomach as the door opened, revealing Takumi, who's mouth became agape at the sight of Rukia kicking Chizuru.

"Rukia-chan! W-What are you doing!? I know she bugs you, but you didn't have to kick her!"

Rukia panted, seeing Chizuru fall back into a nearby chair, and let out a small groan.

"Takumi, there's something different about this girl. She's-"

Before she could finish, Chizuru's face lifted upwards, and turned towards Takumi.

As soon as she did, Chizuru's eyes fluttered, then rage came to her.

"Takumi...don't get in the way..."

Her voice was disjointed.

It was creepy, eerily so.

Takumi knew something was different about her.

"Chizuru-chan, are you..." Takumi saw that she was turning to Rukia, and looked ready to lunge. "I don't think so!"

Takumi crossed the distance, and pushed Chizuru backwards.

"See? There's something wrong with her."

Takumi couldn't deny that to be the case.

"Yeah, you're right."

Takumi pushed forward, while Chizuru's eyes danced between the two of them.

---

Giselle outside, sitting on a tree branch, watched on curiously.

"Geez, Zombie Chizuru, what are you doing? I never sent her to be aggressive...weird. Maybe she's naturally bloodthirsty...Zombie Chizuru, is her love been enhanced to dangerous love...? I really need to begin perfecting The Zombie power so crazy Zombie's aren't made like this..." Giselle murmured to herself, watching Chizuru growling, then turned to the side to see Bambietta readying an arrow. "Hey, you're not going to fire at Takumi-kun, are you?"

"Better to do it now."

Bambietta went to fire when Giselle pulled out her own arrow, and aimed it at her, Bambietta scowled at Giselle who did the same thing.

"Don't try it Bambi-chan. Not all Shinigami are evil, especially this one. If you saw what I did, then you'd say the same thing about Shinigami."

"I doubt it, I hate them all."

Bambietta let out a small growl, but Giselle didn't take her arrow off of Bambietta, so she couldn't fire at Takumi.

---

Takumi pushed her away from Rukia, and raised his fingers to the air, announcing "Bakudo 1: Sai!" and her arms went behind her back, and then he went into his bag, pulling out a drug.

"This should stop her."

Takumi placed a few drops on her cheek, which sunk into her skin.

It took a few seconds, but then her eyes rolled around, falling down to the ground, but Takumi caught her, and laid her down onto the ground, Rukia moving closer.

"A drug to knock out people with no, or low spiritual pressure, right?"

"Correct, Rukia-chan. Maybe she might go back to normal after being unconscious. But, there is something weird about this...I'm gonna draw some blood from her, and see what's going on, maybe a screening of her blood might reveal what's going on. I'll also search for unusual spirit particles in her blood."

"I see, then lets do this."

Takumi went into his bag, and pulled out a blood collecting kit, Rukia gave him a strange look.

"You have your hobbies, I have my own." Rukia shrugged, and watched as he withdrew blood, and then he healed her arm with some ointment so it wouldn't show up at all, just as Takumi noticed the cut on Rukia's cheek. "Geez, did she cut you? Are you alright?"

Takumi placed a hand on the side of Rukia's face, making her blush slightly.

"W-What are you doing...?"

Takumi was surprised by how innocent her voice sounded, contrasting to how confident she usually was.

He nodded, then used the ointment, applying it to her cheek, while using some tissue he got from the class to wipe the blood away, all the while Rukia's cheeks turned slightly more red than before at the gentle touch of his fingertips.

"It's a special healing ointment, it can heal small wounds like this. How does it feel?"

Rukia ran a hand across her cheek, feeling the cut being healed quickly.

"Amazing, fast acting...thank you Takumi."

"No problem~" As he said it, the door opened with other students coming in, people gasped when seeing Chizuru on the ground. "Anyone, call the school nurse! We just found her like this!"

Takumi thought quickly, and spoke such words.

Rukia was glad he thought quickly, and managed to get that through.

Giselle watched from outside, and furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what to do next, while Bambietta scowled at missing her opportunity.

---

Yuzu casually walked into her room, as she was getting ready for school, and thought about that girl, Giselle, wondering what she was going to do now, it seemed like she was distraught about the death of Masaki.

But as she walked past Karin, Karin noticed the bird, and her eyes widened.

A sudden feeling came over her.

She felt sick to her stomach.

The look of the bird was normal, but images flooded her mind.

Her body felt like it was on fire.

Sweat beads rolled down her face.

Her neck twitched more and more at the sight of the bird.

"Hey Karin, is something wrong?"

Karin gulped, looking the bird up and down.

"W-Where did you get that bird Yuzu?"

"Well, a man just abandoned it here this morning. This is the bird we were talking about."

Karin felt faint.

She felt like she was going to throw up.

The fact that she was staring at the bird like it belong there...

"I'm sorry."

Yuzu blinked at the voice, while Karin stared at the bird.

"What did you say…?"

"I said, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel sick."

Karin pulled away from the bird…

But then noticed from outside, there was a shining light, and from her wrist, and Yuzu's, the alarm went off.

The Hollow alarm.

The light was heading right for Yuzu.

"Yuzu!"

She jumped Yuzu, knocking her down to the ground, and the glass shattered behind her, with a small creature coming through the window, and went to attack Yuzu, when Karin pulled out her sword, and impaled the creature with her blade.

"Karin...what is that thing?"

Yuzu asked, slipping on some glasses, and gazed at the dead creature.

"I don't know...no, maybe it is a Hollow...but, it seems so small...so, what it is...we'll have to...ugh..."

"Lets assemble the team Karin!"

Karin hoped that they would be able to assist them with the bird. Though she couldn't shake the feeling of the bird itself, and then there was the creature that came through the window.

She walked to the window, peering outside, and looked around…

But she couldn't see anything at all.

Her eyes danced left and right, but nothing was within her vision.

"Karin, do you think a Hollow is nearby?"

Karin looked at her watch, and it wasn't going off.

"No, I don't think that there is anymore. This thing would be going off if it would. But it did go off before so there probably was a Hollow around here. Either way, we should get to school, and..." Karin felt something enter her mind, the feelings of the parakeet, and dropped to her knees. "Damn..."

"Karin! A-Are you alright!?"

Yuzu panicked.

She worried for her sister, and didn't want anything bad to happen to her.

"Y-Yeah, come on, lets go..."

Karin struggled to her feet with Yuzu's help.

Her eyes went towards the bird once more, seeing its eyes on her form.

Honestly, that worried her.

Not because she thought the bird was evil.

But, because she knew something was definitely off about the bird itself.

---

Sitting within the nurses office, Takumi, Rukia and Orihime watched Chizuru as she laid down on the bed, unconscious. Takumi looked over her, while Rukia noticed that Orihime was holding onto Takumi's hand. She smiled at that, it seemed that the pair was growing closer...yet, she couldn't help but feel something else.

She didn't know what it was...

It was something different inside of her.

When she looked at Takumi and Orihime's closeness, something was bubbling inside of her...

But she shook her head when Orihime cocked her head with concern.

"I can't believe she attacked you Kuchiki-chan, are you okay?"

Orihime's concern made Rukia smile slightly.

"I'm fine. And it wasn't really her, we think anyway."

"Yeah, there was something very different about her, she's always been very weird, but she's never been that aggressive before, and how she spoke was disjointed...so I don't know what was going on."

"And then there's that arrow that fired at me...it almost got me as well. It was like an arrow you made for Yuzu."

"So, it was a Quincy as we can rule out Yuzu-chan attacking you...but why attack you...? Because you're a Shinigami...?"

Rukia didn't have an answer either, and shuddered when seeing Chizuru's body move.

"She went from loving me, to wanting to being aggressive with me."

"Which do you prefer?"

Takumi wondered, causing Rukia to shudder.

"...At least when she's being aggressive, I can defend myself."

Takumi lightly laughed, Orihime giggled, and raised her arm to the sky.

"It was a battle from lovers to enemies!"

"But we were never lovers."

"Not according to Zombie Chizuru."

Takumi snickered out, Rukia shot him a glare, causing him to flinch, Orihime's arms went around Takumi defensively.

"Don't worry Taku-chan, I thought that was funny~"

"You're an Angel Orihime-chan! You truly-"

"Hime-chan!"

"Aaaaah!"

Chizuru shot up, Rukia cried, and shot behind Takumi.

Chizuru's eyes fluttered, then looked around at the three.

"Whats going on you Hime-chan? Rukia-chan?"

Takumi noticed that he wasn't even mentioned, so he knew this was normal Chizuru...but, a part of him wasn't convinced.

"You were...erm, what do you remember Chizuru-chan?"

Orihime asked kindly, Chizuru's eyes went to the roof.

"I remember...I remember spending time with my Rukia-chan in the classroom, and we were dancing together." Chizuru's face went to Rukia, who grabbed Takumi, and held onto him tightly. "Rukia-chan! Don't go to him! I'll be with you! I've lost my Hime to him, I can't lose you too!"

"S-Sorry, but I'm with Takumi now!"

She panicked and had to say that, for her own sanity at this point.

Orihime's face turned to bemusement, and hugged Takumi too, her large boobs pressing against his face, his face turning slightly red.

"We share Taku-chan! Isn't that modern of us Chizuru-chan?"

Chizuru's eyes snapped onto Takumi angrily.

"You..." Chizuru stood up, and walked to the door. "...have fun, I'll get a group of lovely women, who love me! Mark my words!"

Chizuru left through the door, Takumi, Rukia and Orihime looked towards the door questioningly.

"She seems back to normal~"

Orihime sang out, but Rukia furrowed her eyebrows.

"I don't know about that. Something still seems different."

"Yeah..."

Takumi murmured, all three having questions about this.

---

Outside of the door, Chizuru took off walking, and rounded a corner, to see Giselle stood there.

"Zombie Chizuru did as instructed Giselle-sama, and came back to you."

"Well done Zombie Chizuru. But, you did a bad thing and were aggressive with Rukia-chan. It's the others that hate the Shinigami, I don't have a beef with them, though it seems Rukia-chan is a little too attached to Takumi-kun, but that's fine for now~ Aah Takumi-kun, he's just so adorably cute I might die from happiness~! I need to learn more about him! After seeing him doing that beautiful thing for that orange haired girl, I've become interested in him, I wonder if he'd be kind to me too~?"

Zombie Chizuru hung her head.

"Zombie Chizuru is sorry, and will divulge information about Takumi Urahara."

Giselle placed a hand over her heart, and hugged Zombie Chizuru.

"Don't worry about it, you're a good Zombie really, and thank you Zombie Chizuru. Now, what do you want to do Zombie Chizuru?"

"I...I want to have fun Giselle-sama."

She snarled, making Giselle giggle.

"Me too! Lets go and have some fun Zombie Chizuru, but not the bad kind! Help me forget about my sadness for a while Zombie Chizuru!"

Giselle and Zombie Chizuru began skipping down the corridor together, and went to have some fun.

---

When Yuzu and Karin made it to school, Takumi, Orihime and Rukia were called to the roof. They didn't even go into the classroom, since they had the bird with them.

While standing on the roof, they all stared at the bird, Rukia, and Takumi definitely felt something from the bird.

"There's definitely a spirit within the bird. A human soul I should say."

Rukia spoke up, Takumi nodding his head, but then saw Karin looking a little ill.

"Are you alright Karin-chan?"

Karin waved her hand.

"I-I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Her voice was wobbling, Takumi felt worry for her, as did Yuzu.

"Taku-chan, if there's a spirit inside of the bird, does that mean that he is dead?"

Takumi looked down at the bird, and then moved closer.

"...Yeah, he is dead." The birds eyes lowered, Rukia carefully watched on. "Unfortunately, it seems that this young boy has lost his life." His finger reached out for the bird, while Karin's eyes moved up and down, like she was feeling dizzy. "So, what's your name little guy? My names Takumi Urahara."

"Yuichi. Yuichi Shibata."

Orihime looked surprised that it spoke.

Rukia however focused her eyes onto the bird, and twitched her neck side to side.

"Yuichi-kun, how did you end up getting put into the bird?"

"Getting put into? What does that mean Taku-chan?"

Orihime didn't quite understand, so Rukia explained.

"This spirit didn't find its way into the bird by itself. It was forced into the bird somehow. Though if I had to guess, then I'd say it was either a Hollow, or someone from the Soul Society. However, I can't see a Shinigami doing this, it just wouldn't make sense."

"So, someone placed that poor boy into the bird?"

Rukia inclined her neck.

"Yes, that's right. And now, we should perform Konso Takumi. Then we have to make sure Chizuru isn't still Zombie Chizuru."

"What's Zombie Chizuru?"

Yuzu asked curiously, Rukia shuddered, and didn't say anything else.

Takumi nodded.

"You're right. Hey, maybe he'll meet Sora-san, Orihime-chan~"

Orihime's face curled upwards.

"Maybe he would yes~"

Orihime continued to smile, as Takumi went to go towards Rukia.

But he stopped when seeing Karin's eyes wavering, she looked pale, sickly.

"Karin-chan, you're not okay, are you?"

Karin's eyes snapped open, looking at the others who looked on with concern.

"...I-I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"But Karin..."

Yuzu tried to connect to her sister, but Karin brushed her off.

"I'm fine, we just have to send this bird off to the Soul Society or whatever, then lets call it a day..."

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, and moved closer to her.

However, as he was, all five of them picked up a Hollow nearby, the watches and senses going off.

"A Hollow. But where is it?"

Takumi looked around, but couldn't see it.

Orihime and Yuzu banded together, to wonder what was going on.

However, Takumi then moved closer to Rukia, who slipped on her glove...only for him to see from the construction site at a good distance away from them, metal beams were being launched towards them.

"Get down!"

Takumi pushed Rukia down, as he bent backwards, a metal beam flying above his torso, and crashed behind him.

"Ooh my God!"

Orihime let out, seeing another one coming, and ducked downwards with Yuzu, but Karin was dizzy.

She barely could think much less do anything else.

Memories of Yuichi flooded her mind more and more.

A burning sensation ran through her.

Like an infection.

It was overwhelming...

"Karin-chan!"

When she finally did see the metal beam coming towards her thanks to Takumi calling her name, she was slow to react, but Takumi knocked her down, saving her from being hit, only to receive the metal beam right to the head.

Takumi's eyes rolled around and was brought down to the ground harshly, blood coming from the wound and ran down his face, knocking him dizzy from the impact.

"Takumi!"

Rukia cried out, seeing Takumi's head bleeding.

Since he was in his Gigai, he naturally wouldn't have the strength of a Shinigami, and the durability, so he would bleed like that.

"Taku-chan!"

Orihime rushed over, placing her hand on Takumi's head, seeing him bleeding.

She wouldn't allow him to bleed for long, she took off her jacket, and pressed it against Takumi's head wound, while Karin was stunned.

Takumi took a metal beam, just for her.

He got injured willingly to help her out, and to make sure that she didn't suffer any injuries.

Yuzu pulled at her watch, and summoned her bow, and arrow, looking towards the construction site, seeing another metal beam coming towards them.

"I don't think so!"

Yuzu flipped the switch and summoned exploding balls at the end of her arrows, and she fired one off with precise accuracy, coming into contact with the metal beam, and exploded, while Rukia pulled out her gun, and aimed it towards the construction site.

"No doubt about it, it's a Hollow alright. It probably thought that if it attacked at a distance, it would catch us by surprise. Can't say that it didn't work." Her eyes went to Takumi, who sat up thanks to Orihime helping him. "Takumi, you okay?"

"My head hurts...but, can't say that I'm out of it just yet. Get me out of my body...I'll go and deal with the Hollow."

Rukia nodded, moving closer, and pushed against his body, turning him into a Shinigami.

Takumi's eyes fluttered, feeling weird from the attack, against his human body. It still made him feel dizzy.

---

But, he didn't stop, and withdrew his Zanpakuto, and jumped off the building, using his speed to cross the distance between Takumi and the Hollow within a few seconds, the Hollow in question had wings attacked to its arms, and its tongue resembled a fork.

"What?!"

The Hollow cried out, while Takumi took out his blade, and swung it for the Hollow at a fast speed, cutting deeply into the Hollow's body, forcing it off the building that was being made, and sent it down towards the ground, creating a cloud of smoke from the impact.

"Oi, throwing beams at me and my friends. There's something wrong with you, isn't there?"

Takumi jumped down towards the Hollow, and hovered above it, which looked upwards, and had pleading eyes.

"Wait, wait! Please don't do this! You can't kill me!"

"Sorry, that's the nature of my job as a Shinigami."

Takumi replied with a small yawn.

However, the Hollow then smirked, and from its fur around its neck, several small creatures came out, and spat what appeared to be leeches towards his form. The Hollow smirked at the sight, and was about to laugh when…

"Hah!"

Takumi swung his blade outwards, slicing through the leech creatures, cutting them apart, but the Hollow revealed its tongue, and a sonic sound came from it, causing the cut up parts to explode around Takumi.

The Hollow began to laugh.

"Hahaha! You might be fast but you couldn't of..." The Hollow's cocky attitude was stopped when Takumi appeared above him, standing in the air without a scratch on him. "...h-how in the hell did you do something like that?!"

Takumi showed a calm expression on his face.

He didn't even seem to be worried about anything, the Hollow also knew that Takumi was stronger. He could feel it. The speed he used was amazing. The fact that he also used his strength to pin him down...it was all over for him.

"It's called being fast. You currently don't have the speed to fight against me. But, I have to ask, why are you interested in that bird exactly? Are you the one responsible for ripping the soul of the boy, and putting it into the bird?"

The Hollow's face twisted and contorted, but it didn't answer.

Takumi scowled, and forced his blade right next to the Hollow's head, causing the Hollow to wince at the sight.

"I asked you a question. I want it answering. Did you rip out the soul of the boy and put it into the bird?"

"W-Why does it matter!?"

"Because I want to know if there's another enemy I have to deal with or not. So, be good and answer me before my sword turns in your direction, and pierces through your head. I sense evil coming from you, more so than normal Hollow's. So, I wonder what you were like before becoming a Hollow, huh."

Takumi demanded from the Hollow, which began sweating nervously.

It felt like he was going to be sick.

Takumi wondered what it was thinking about.

"So, going to tell me, or should I just kill you off now, and take my chances?"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait one second! Y-You don't have to kill me! I-I was just trying to play a game!"

"A game…? A game of what exactly?"

"Heh, haven't you heard of cat and mouse?"

Takumi's eyes narrowed considerably.

"Cat and mouse? With the boy?"

"Not just him now. Those girls, very tasty twin souls, how do you think they came to possess the bird?"

Takumi's sword raised up.

He had had enough of this Hollow.

He went to stab downwards...

---

But then stopped when he felt a pressure coming from beside him.

He turned his neck in time to see an arrow going for him, so he took out his blade, and deflected the arrow away from him, and landing on the ground, was Bambietta, her eyes going for Takumi, and her smirk grew on her face.

"Shinigami, nice to meet ya, the names Bambietta Basterbine. Heh, I can see why she thought you were pretty cute. Say, how about we have some fun before you get killed?"

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, seeing Bambietta holding a bow, a bow that looked like small explosions, the Hollow looked between the two of them, sweat dropping off his face, while Takumi's full attention was on the girl.

"Attacking people isn't nice, especially innocent people."

Bambietta threw a hand through her hair.

"It doesn't matter. Me and my friends here are going to take care of you, Shinigami."

Takumi looked behind her, but couldn't see anyone.

He looked left and right, while the Hollow began moving backwards.

"Erm...what friends?"

"My friends! These people..." Her eyes went back...but, they weren't there. "...C-Candy? Minnie? Gigi? Little tits? Where are you girls…? Please come out now so we can screw over this Shinigami..."

"You call one of your friends little tits?"

Takumi muttered in wonder.

Bambietta chuckled to herself.

"You'd call her that too if you knew her."

"But, since they aren't here, I couldn't possibly know her..."

Bambietta's face turned into something between embarrassed, and angry.

"Ooh come on! Seriously?! I said we'd go together. And they didn't even show up?! For God sake! I could seriously kill those girls!"

"Wow...that's some problem you got there, with your friends not showing up and all..."

Bambietta turned back towards Takumi, and grinned wildly.

"I suppose you're right. I do have some problems. Some are you!"

Bambietta took to her bow and fired off a multitude of arrows.

Takumi narrowed his eyes as he swung his sword left and right, cutting through the arrows with ease, and dashed forward.

"Did you attack Rukia-chan? Are you the one responsible for Chizuru-chan?"

Bambietta smirked at the sight, and allowed her hand to light up with her energy.

"Maybe, you'll have to find out, wont ya?"

Bambietta smirked, and shot her hand forward.

From her hand, energy had released, Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, and swung his sword outwards.

However, as soon as his sword touched the energy, within a second, it exploded, forcing Takumi backwards, and smashed his body through a nearby metal structure for a building, releasing some metal beams from above, which pierced the ground near Takumi.

Takumi looked down at his sword, and saw that it had some damage to it, and then to his hands, that were bleeding from the impact.

"An explosion..."

"My power, you see. Isn't it amazing? I'll explode you to death!"

"Whoa, hold on there, what's going on with you anyway? You're a Quincy, aren't you?"

Bambietta showed her hand which glowed with her energy.

"My, how observant. Shinigami like you are my enemies. So, forgive me for not exchanging pleasantries. It pains me to kill off someone cute like you, but because you're a Shinigami, you're my enemy, and I wont allow you to walk away from here!"

"Just because I'm a Shinigami, you're going to kill me?"

Takumi asked, while the Hollow scurried away.

"All Shinigami are the same. You hunt down Quincy's, and kill us off, pretending you're the superior race!"

"I never said I was a superior race. And I don't believe that's true at all. Actually, I'm fascinated with Quincy's. I've based tech on Quincy powers, so I've got no beef with Quincy's. So, why don't we just talk about what's going on with you, and settle this peacefully."

Bambietta's face twisted with annoyance, and then placed both hands forward, gathering her energy, while Takumi noticed that the Hollow had escaped, causing him to scowl, though he was sure when it showed up again, he'd be able to take it down, Bambietta was the more threatening concern right now.

"Sorry, but you've got to die!"

Two energy balls came out of her hands, and headed for Takumi.

Knowing the destructive power of the blasts, he lifted a nearby steel beam, and launched it for Bambietta, the spheres came into contact with the beam, and caused it to explode, a large cloud of smoke going up into the air.

"That's not going to..."

Bambietta stopped when seeing Takumi close the distance.

He was fast.

She was surprised.

He was before her with his sword swinging for her.

But she realized that it was the dull side of his blade going for her, she grimaced, and pulled backwards away from the sword, the blade sliced the air in front of her nose, as she cartwheeled backwards, and put distance between them.

Then she shot off a bunch of arrows towards Takumi, who didn't take chances, and flashed towards the right, landing on a fence, and placed his hand outwards, summoning his spiritual power, allowing it to form at his finger.

"Hado 1: Sho!"

The small burst of energy came out of his finger, but Bambietta was surprised when Takumi swatted his own attack, and forced it to head towards Bambietta with a harder attack power, Bambietta however thrusted her hand outwards, and shot off an explosive power, connecting it to the Kido spell he used, and set off an explosion, Takumi noticed something however when it did.

Bambietta smirked, and pulled out a sword made of Reishi, swinging it for the left, seeing Takumi appear there, and parried his blade.

"Did you think I'd fall for that twice!?"

"No, I was expecting that."

Bambietta became confused, only to see Takumi's foot heading for her stomach, Bambietta pulled backwards, and once more, it seemed like he wasn't trying to truly do damage to her, which pissed her off.

"You bastard..."

"By the way, your power...it seems a bit different to what I thought."

Bambietta folded her arms.

"Is that so?"

"Your power...your explosion power. I'm not sure, but it seems like your explosions aren't..."

Before he could finish, Bambietta slammed her foot onto the ground.

"Are you not taking me as a serious opponent?!"

Takumi didn't think she would be angry about him trying to not damage her. If anything, he thought she'd be glad that he wasn't trying to damage her.

"Of course I am-"

"You used the dull side of your sword! Don't pull that shit with me! You aren't taking me seriously!"

"Are you taking me seriously?" Bambietta scowled. "I'll take that as a no. I sensed your power, you're quite strong. so I'm wondering why you aren't trying to kill me?"

"Oh you wanna die? I was going to save your pretty face for me, but I'll take it up a notch for you right now!"

Bambietta used her speed to appear before Takumi, and swung out her blade, Takumi raised his own and parried her blade, creating sparks between their blades, her free hand thrusting outwards, and went to send off her energy when Takumi pointed his finger to her, releasing Sho towards her, forcing her to jump backwards, the Kido spell hit a nearby wall, and caused it to shake.

Bambietta smirked at Takumi.

"Hmph, how about this for taking it up a notch?"

Bambietta thrusted her arms upwards, and around her, the energy came around, and the air itself began to vibrate.

"Shit!"

Takumi went to jump when the explosion was set off.

It was a strong explosion, it destroyed the area easily, carving into the ground a large sized hole. The cars nearby were shaking, and the air pressure around blew people over. Fortunately, it seemed Bambietta contained the explosion to just around them.

But still Takumi pulled backwards, and had some light burns on his body, along with his robes being burnt by the explosion that she gave off, Bambietta however smirked at the sight of the young boy.

"I like a boy covered in wounds. You look sweet. Maybe I should...you know, I just realized. You've not used Shikai. Are you really taking me like a child?" Takumi didn't say anything, Bambietta came to a realization. "It isn't that you haven't used it...it's because you haven't achieved it yet, have you?"

"Cut me some slack, I've only just become a Shinigami a little while ago."

Bambietta showed a superior smirk.

"Then, this is going to be easier than I thought! Hahaha! Alright then Takumi Urahara! I will show you death!"

Takumi's eyes widened when she disappeared from sight briefly, and appeared beside him, an arrow pulling back and ready to shoot off towards him.

But within that second between that she released her arrow, Takumi flashed towards the large structure, and appeared on the second story of the metal beams, Bambietta's eyes shooting for the structure, and glared.

"He's quite fast to dodge in that second, I have to be careful."

Bambietta muttered, and turned her arrows towards him, shooting off a myriad of them in quick succession. Rather than take the chance to slice them down with his Zanpakuto since they could explode, Takumi cartwheeled across the structures beam with Bambietta following him with her arrow barrage.

But his speed and reflexes were great, and she couldn't reach him, angering her more and more by the second.

"I have to admit you aren't bad."

"Thanks. Neither are you, Bambietta-san."

Bambietta showed a deranged smirk on her face, and used her speed to cross the distance in a matter of seconds, and swung out her blade for him, Takumi parried her strike with his own, and sparks doused the area, Bambietta grinned at the sight of this.

"I thought that this might have been boring. But fighting against a Shinigami worth his shit isn't so bad. So, how do you like dancing with me exactly?"

"So far, it's been fun. But, I think we should stop now before one of us becomes seriously hurt."

"No! I can dance all night long, now come here!"

Bambietta allowed energy to circulate her hand, and thrusted it for Takumi while jumping backwards.

Takumi skidded to the left, and jumped to the adjacent metal beam, and ran forward, and within a second of the energy touching the metal beam, it exploded, causing the structure to shake around, losing its balance and some metal beams fell down to the ground, stabbing into the earth.

Bambietta snickered while Takumi scowled, but also began realizing something by how her explosions seemed to have been working.

His sword.

The structure.

The way that she used it around her…

"What are you trying to accomplish here? If you break this, then innocent people could be killed."

"Is that why you came onto this structure? Did you think I wouldn't explode it? Caring about innocent people, yeah right. Good one Shinigami. I didn't think Shinigami cared about innocent people. The Quincy were innocent once too, you know?"

Takumi scowled at the young woman, while Bambietta allowed her energy to circulate her hand.

"Yeah, I realize that, but if you kill innocent people, then you're no better than the people that killed the Quincy, right?"

Bambietta's eyes blazed with her fury.

"You shut up right nooooooooooooooooooooow!"

Bambietta thrusted her hand forward, and shot off her energy.

Takumi furrowed his eyebrows, and then cut off some metal nearby, and threw it at the energy, which collided together, and then within a second, it exploded, causing wind to rush around both of them.

"Your power...it isn't your energy that is exploding. It is your energy that infects other things, peoples bodies, or inanimate objects, and turning them into the explosive and the power behind it depends on how much energy you yourself release, am I right about that Bambietta-san?"

Bambietta pulled back slightly.

"He figured it out…?"

She thought to herself, while Takumi dashed forward, and appeared before her.

"When it hit my sword, if it was your energy, then my swing should of at least diverted the blast a little bit. But no, my sword was caught by the energy and it exploded. If it had been a normal sword then it would've been destroyed. But since it was my Zanpakuto, it managed to survive the attack. Then there's your arrows. You didn't infuse your explosive power into your arrows, because they would explode almost immediately so that would be useless. That's why you tried using your arrows to corner me, and then come at me from close range. Even the space around you, your energy can infect it if you so choose, so an explosion around you can occur, am I right Bambietta-san?"

Bambietta's face turned into more of a scowl.

"I heard you'd be quite intelligent, but I didn't expect you to figure out my power so fast."

"Indeed, it was quite intriguing. I'd like to know where you got that power. I wasn't aware Quincy's could be born with innate special powers."

Bambietta smirked.

"Well, I'm full of surprises. And even if you've figured it out, you can't get away from it. As you said, my power turns anything into an explosive, so even if you tried to bat it away, your sword will explode. All you can do is try and dodge until I get my hands on you, and explode your-"

"Taku-chan! Taku-chan!" Orihime came running up, panting slightly. "T-Taku-chan! It's Karin-chan! T-There's something wrong with her!"

Takumi's worries came up quite high, glancing down towards her.

"What's wrong with her?"

"We don't know, she just collapsed, she looks like she's got a high fever. Kuchiki-chan is doing her best, but she doesn't know what else to try...and what happened to the Hollow Taku-chan?"

"It got away while I was fighting this girl."

Her eyes went towards Bambietta who smirked.

"Taku-chan, who is she…?"

"She's..."

"I'm your enemy little girl. I'll also be killing this guy as well."

Bambietta spoke above Takumi, and showed her tongue sadistically.

"W-Why!?"

Orihime cried, not understanding what was going on.

Bambietta however smirked.

"Because that's what I want. I want Shinigami's to become extinct."

Takumi scowled at Bambietta, and turned his back to her.

"I can't fight anymore, this is over."

"Wait a second! I still want to fight you!"

"A friend of mine is in danger, I wont allow a squabble right now interfere, so I'm going. Also, don't attack Rukia-chan again either. If you want to fight, you fight me, leave her, Orihime-chan and the others out of this."

"Oh no you don't!"

Bambietta charged up her energy in both hands, and went to strike, when Takumi turned back and announced "Bakudo 1: Sai!" and then her hands were forced behind her back, clapping together, and because of that, her energies met, and infused her hands with her energy and exploded from behind her, propelling her forward.

"Sorry Bambietta-san!"

Takumi spun his sword around and hit her in the stomach with his hilt, Bambietta's eyes widening and forced her body through the air, sending her sailing down to the ground in a heavy burst, slamming against the ground and sand erupted around them.

Takumi went to Orihime, lifting her up, and sped out of the area.

"Taku-chan, are you okay? You're bleeding."

"I'll be fine, it seems that we've got a new enemy Orihime-chan."

"Yes...but, when I looked into her eyes, I saw sadness Taku-chan...I wonder why she hates Shinigami so much...?"

"Beyond what I know of what happened between Quincy's and Shinigami's, I don't know. But I intend to find out. Especially since she tried to kill both myself and Rukia-chan. This has just become complicated."

Takumi continued towards the school with Orihime in his arms.

Bambietta recovered a few seconds later and went to take out her sword…

But she saw that Takumi was speeding away from her at a speed that she wouldn't be able to catch, her eyes narrowing angrily.

"Damn it, he's more dangerous than I gave him credit for, and not just a cute face. I guess that I'll have to take it up a notch next time. Heh, the games only begun Takumi, you've definitely intrigued me hahahahaha."

Bambietta's dangerous words made her all the more determined.

She definitely wasn't going to give up anytime soon, no matter what.

End chapter!

So, what a thing huh! The Sternritter girls consisting of Bambietta, Liltotto, Meninas, and Candice have appeared with Giselle, and Giselle herself seems to know quite a bit about Masaki, and Isshin and what not, more on why will be shown in the future, and she saved Chizuru by turning her into a Zombie, but it doesn't seem she's mastered that particular ability just yet as Chizuru's running a little wild. Bambietta got quite trigger happy, and came after Takumi along with Rukia, though he managed to duel with her long enough before he had to go and tend to Karin. We'll be getting more into the Sternritter girls and their thoughts in the future, and discover more why Bambietta hates Shinigami, beyond the obvious, the relationship between Giselle and Masaki will be more explored among other things.

Karin and Yuzu also took down a Hollow together! And they found the parakeet, which has connected to Karin, and caused her to collapse! Next chapter, we'll see more of their growing strengths with Karin making a decision about her future, and Takum's confronted once more by the enemy.

Well, until next time, thanks for reading!
