Another chapter, can't say I'm thrilled about it. . .
Ichigo, Momo and Kisuke Urahara stood in the large training ground under the shop. A hundred metres behind them were Ichigo's friends and the other soul reapers stationed in Karakura town. "Well guys, I should be off," Ichigo told his friends before turning to Momo, "Open the senkaimon," he told her. Momo complied, pushing her zanpakuto through the air as if it were a key being guided into a keyhole. Suddenly she turned her zanpakuto, commanding an invisible door to "open!" Sure enough, two sliding doors appeared but instead of opening like they were supposed to, they just faded away again. It was after a minute had passed that Urahara spoke up, looking at the confused faces around him, "come to think of it," he said distantly, gaining everyone's attention, "I haven't heard from Yoruichi for a while. I wonder if something's up."
Yoruichi thought about the weird events that had been happening lately. First there was the strange presence moving swiftly through the soul society, then the captain of squad 12, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, disappeared while talking to someone unknown. The investigation was to be kept top secret when all of a sudden the squad 5 barracks was ransacked; and then nothing. Life in the seireitei went on as usual, the only thing to suggest that something was out of the ordinary was the fact that Yoruichi couldn't open a senkaimon, she couldn't even contact Urahara in the world of the living. Coming to a decision, Yoruichi got up, stretching as she did so, and wondered off. The only evidence that she was there in the first place was the black cat walking across the roofs.
Momo was put out. She had failed. Her captain was relying on her and she fell through. Ichigo was a bit upset too. He knew that something was happening in the soul society but he couldn't get there to find out what. "It's okay," he told Momo, "We just need to think about this." He walked off then, leaving shocked faces behind him. 'What happened to the reckless Ichigo who charged into battle without a plan or adequate training?' was the thought running through almost everyone's mind. "Taicho," momo sighed, awed at how strong and calm her new captain was. Ichigo, however, knew how sensitive Momo was and didn't want to upset his leutenent somehow in his frustration.
How were they going to get to the soul society and what would they find when they did?. . .
You guys are making me depressed. Be prepared to wait for the next chapter. And I mean wait. . .
