The Prodigy of Sun and Moon, Chapter 2: Breaking Boredom

Masaki raised her head. What was that? She wondered. She looked around. Kazuki was dutifully taking his notes; Kisara was sleeping. No one else in the class seemed to have noticed anything.

Maybe I was imagining it…She started to put her head back down.

Aaaaaarrrrrrooooo!!!!

She snapped back up. There it was again, closer this time. This time around, Kazuki looked around uncertainly; Kisara sat up. Her friends looked at her questioning. She nodded, signaling she heard it too. The three waited, wondering if they'd hear it again. A book smacked Masaki in the head.

"Pay attention, Kurosaki!" their fierce teacher, Miss Ochi said.

"Yes ma'am." Masaki said.

AAARRRROOOOOO!!!!!

Masaki, Kazuki, and Kisara flinched. It was loud and close this time. But no one else seemed to hear it…

The wall in the back of the room exploded, bringing screams from the students. Masaki and her friends leapt from their desks and looked back.

Emerging from the rubble was something that vaguely resembled a giant chicken with a white mask and hole in its chest.

"What the hell is that?" Masaki asked.

"What is what?" Miss Ochi asked out of nowhere.

While sitting in her Chappy room, waiting for artistic inspiration, Rukia Kurosaki's Soul Pager rang. She ran to it to see the Society's latest orders… and gasped. Karakura High School… She popped a Chappy pill to go Soul Reaper, and ran out of the house.

Orihime Ishida was in the middle of the taping of her show when she felt the Hollow appear. Uryu, her husband and director, noticed it too. Without a word to their crew, they ran out of their studio.

Chad Yasutora, who ran a pet shop, was tending his bunnies when he felt the presence nearby. A hollow…he thought. He ran out.

Ichigo Kurosaki did not notice the hollow, as he was preoccupied with a patient, but as soon as Rukia slung open the door to his office, he went Soul Reaper and followed his wife without another word.

Back at the school, Masaki and her friends were huddled in the center of the room. Walls were exploding all round them. Their classmates and teacher had fled, but the monsters had paid them no attention. They were gathering around Masaki, Kazuki, and Kisara, who were the only ones that could see them anyway. They didn't dare move; they had a feeling if they did they'd be ripped apart. And so they stood there, perfectly still despite the fact that Karakura High was coming down around their ears.

"Masaki." That was Kazuki's voice.

"Yeah?" she asked.

"We're gonna die, aren't we?"

"Probably." She had to agree.

"Y'all were my best friends." Kisara said.

"They aren't moving." Masaki said.

"No…but it looks like they're about to fire something from their mouths." Kazuki pointed out. True enough, balls of light were forming in their mouths…

The three friends braced themselves…

"I reject!"

They looked to see Orihime Ishida standing between them and the monsters, apparently making a shield of triangle shaped light.

"M-mom?" Kazuki stuttered.

Two blurs in black darted past, slashing apart the monsters with swords. Masaki got a better look at them.
"Mom? Dad?" she yelled.

Kisara was shocked to see her father, wearing some sort of strange glove, also fighting the monsters.

The last surprise came with a volley of blue arrows, fired by Uryu Ishida.

"Dad?" Kazuki said.

Within a matter of minutes, their parents (or people who looked a lot like them) had disposed of the monsters, and the three teens stood facing them amidst the ruins of Karakura High School.

"What the hell?" was all the trio could say.
