I stared at my savior in shock. Shinji looked different then he did earlier, but that was probably because he was holding a sword now.

Shinji looked down at me with a crooked smile on his face as he asked, "do you need any help?" My cheeks went red as I shook my head no and tried to stand up. It did not work. One I stood up I felt a shooting pain go up my spine and I nearly collapse. Shinji quickly appeared beside me and helped me keep my balance. "Are you sure?" was the last thing I heard before everything went black.


I opened my eyes to hear muttering come from the next room. Who is in my house? I looked around and quickly realized I was not in my house. Where was I? I sat up as I tried to remember what happened before I woke up here. First, I went to school… then I left school. On the way home I was attacked by a… hollow? Then the new kid saved me. What was his name?

It started with an S.

Subaru? No.

Sousuke? No.

Souya? No.

Sora? No.

I groaned as I continued to go down a list of names trying to remember it.

"Shinji, wait" I heard someone say as the door of the room was thrown open. Oh yeah, it was Shinji.

"Well, look who finally woke up" Shinji said smiling as he walked over and sat down beside me.

"Thank you for helping me" I said, "but where am I?"

A blonde man wearing a green striped hat and a long brown coat, "you are at my shop."

"Who are you?" I asked confused. Before the man could answer a young girl with black pigtails walked into the room with a tray that contained a teapot and cups. Before I could say anything else, she left the room as I watched her confused.

"She's a bit shy" striped hat man said.

"What's going on?" I asked confused as I turned toward Shinji who turned toward the striped hat man.

"W-" hat man began before a large bang interrupted him. A strange sensation passed through me as the ground felt like it was shaking. The man with the hat slipped out of the room as Shinji stood up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Shinji stood up and followed the man, "I will explain after." Before I could ask anything else Shinji left the room leaving me alone and still completely useless. I let out a small sigh as I tried to stand up. The attempt proved to be useless as I felt dizzy and fell back down. I took a deep breath and stood up, this time successfully, and headed toward the door. The door opened to reveal an empty shop. The front door was open revealing two kids, one of them being the girl from before, standing in front of the building. They were staring off down the road talking.

"Why do they go get to fight and we are stuck doing chores, where is T-" the boy began as I tried to sneak by the two of them. I had the strange feeling that I should begin running. I began to walk backwards, keeping my eyes on the kids, quietly and quickly as possible. When I reached the first corner, I ran. Part of me was surprised I was not caught. I began walking around randomly and clueless to where I was.


I eventually made my way home, and then back to school the next day. Part of me regrets not staying since I had no clue how to get back to the small shop again. The only thing I could hope for was Shinji being in class today and an explanation. I had trouble sleeping the night before because I could not get the incident out of my head… I could not help but also think about the earthquake. It could not have been normal, right? I sighed as I walked into the class to see he was not there. Is this going to be another Rukia incident?

This is not really looking good for my sanity level…

After school I headed home alone since Tatsuki wanted to check on Orihime who was absent. When I arrived at my home I was welcomed by a surprise in my kitchen...
