Chapter 2: Tracker

Beep…Beep…Beep…Click!

Ichigo crawled out of bed, still tired from the goose chase Rukia put him on last Friday. Damn Rukia, saying there was a strange new beast with the same power as Hollows. Then, 8 hours later, after I ran laps around Karakura, she says it's gone! Some day--

"GOOD MORNING ICHIGO!!!" His father, Isshin, exclaimed, trying to step on his son's face, for the 10th time this week (to think it's only Monday).

Quite used to his old man's strange behavior towards his kids, he rolled away, stood up and opened his bedroom door, which Yuzu was knocking on.

"Ichi-nii, breakfast!" Yuzu announced, who was the grabbed by her twin sister, Karin.

"Stop worrying about him! WE have our own problems to deal with like school and..." the dark-haired girl ranted on as the twins headed downstairs.

Silly kids, Ichigo thought. This would be a typical morning scenario in the Kurosaki household. Normal, Ichigo thought, too normal.

After breakfast, Ichigo went upstairs to give Rukia hers.

"Oi, Rukia! I've got--" Ichigo said while closing his bedroom door, all at the same time he bumped into what resembled a steel wall.

"Ichigo, there are two of them now." Rukia said simply, leaning her head to the left to see the orange-haired boy who had pain written all over his face.

"Rukia, stop meddlin' with those things. AND HOW DID YOU GET THIS IN MY ROOM?!" Ichigo said, and then discovered that he had run into a tracking computer.

"Long story. Nevermind that, we have to control things before this starts getting out of hand!"

"Why? It's just two. So the mommy creature had a baby, big deal..."

"Yeah, just two: Two who have enough spirit power that is equal, if not greater than, to the power of 30 menos grandes!"

"Nani?! How can a newborn have that much reiatsu?!"

"The other is an adolescent. And you know as much as I do that no one can grow as fast as that in two days!"

There was a tense silence. Then, after hearing someone tripping, Rukia (as well as the giant computer) hid ad Ichigo opened the door.

"Ichi-nii, you're gonna be late…" Yuzu said, pointing to the clock.

"Oh, shit! I forgot I have an early class today!" Ichigo said, grabbed his things and ran out of the house.

Luckily, or should I say flash step luckily, Ichigo arrived five minutes before the time. Rukia had arrived first, but had just been entering the gate when he showed up. Now they were making their way to their homeroom. Ichigo sat down and felt something weird. Signals were sent up and down his spine, saying 'Reiatsu monster!!".

He looked at Rukia. She felt it too. He scanned the classroom, nothing looked unusual. He let his guard down, and glanced at the clock.

"OI, STRAWBERRY!"

Ichigo knew it was, for that person was the only one who had the guts, and probably the years to know him well enough, to call him that. With the Reiatsu signals still tingling his nerves, Ichigo looked in the direction in which he heard the voice. And, sadly, Ichigo could do nothing but gape in shock.
