Bleach Fan Fiction ~ The Glass Portal To Another World
Shattered Segment 2: Begin
They sat at a low table in one of the shop's rooms, waiting for Urahara to finish his research or at least make some progress. Ichigo tapped his fingers on the table impatiently while the others waited quietly.
Once Kon sighed in boredom, Ichigo's tapping grew louder.
"Ichigo, stop," Uryuu scolded. "It's really bothering me."
The door near them slid open and Kisuke appeared with a worried expression.
Ichigo sprang up from the floor and asked him, "Have you found out anything yet?"
"No, I just heard a really melancholic sound coming from here," Kisuke replied, "but it's only you. I see." He paused. "If you want to see Rukia that badly though, I can send you over there right now."
Tick. Ichigo and the four others, including Kon, turned to the clock. Only Kisuke remained completely emotionless. Tick, tick, tick. Tick. Tick. Tick… tick… tick…
"That's a strange sound," Uryuu stated. "It's like… time is passing by slower and slower…"
"That's right!" Kisuke exclaimed. "Uryuu-kun is so smart! I am already sending you over there. Time in that world seems to be a little slower than here. For example, one of their days seems to be equal to one of our seconds."
"So it becomes day and night that fast?" Inoue asked.
"No, it feels like a normal day over there," Kisuke corrected. "Actually this world interference already happened in their world. They have to wait a few more centuries more for the next one, which is the one happening right now in our world. It seems as if they have collided with a bunch of other worlds before. But Rukia, she'll be there. She's not going to float between the worlds, waiting for that much time to pass." He paused and took a bunny ear headset out his pocket. He handed that over to Ichigo. "Use this to contact with me."
"What?" Ichigo asked. "Why rabbit ears?"
"Because Rukia likes rabbit ears," Kisuke replied. "Now, you should be hearing the seconds ticking even slower. It should be almost as if the next second seemed like it was never to come. To finish this transport, step through the window behind you." He pointed in the direction the windows were at. "You'll appear in that world," he said while the four high school students were walking towards the window. "I don't know if it'll be near or far from Rukia, but you'll be there. And so, your very fun journey shall begin!" He picked up Kon, who was watching quietly, which was a rare thing to see him do. "Oh, and don't forget Kon!" He said, throwing the stuffed animal into Ichigo's face at the last second before they disappeared through the glass portal. "We don't need him… but you do…"
