Me: And here we are back again with chapter 4!!!
Yuna: Today's guest will be a kind man.
Yuno: Oh, oh, I know! Pick me!
Gin: ? O-Kay~... Anyway review people. We ain't gettin enough of the stuff.
Yuno: Now that you mention it, we aren't.
Yuna: People be nice, espescially to this girl right here. she only just started in the summer of 2008 you know.
Me: Guys it's ok. Any-who, let's start the show! Roll chapter!
" Hey, hey Ichi-nii? How come you acted like that today?" Yuzu asked. She was riding piggyback home from the festival that had just finished on her bruised up father. The volunteer workers and shopkeepers were putting things away and cleaning up and as that was going on Ichigo had indeed kept his promise about making Isshin a dead man walking. Good thing it was Halloween...
" Act like what? You mean like this?" and he started to act like someone who had taken eddicute classes. The act was too much for her.
" S-stop! O-ok I get it! Ahaha, ow m-my, my sto-o-o-mach~!" And she then decided to rest her head on dear daddy's shoulders.
" S-so Ichi-nii. I guess your a ladies man now, huh?" Karin asked looking up to her big brother. She was straining to keep her laughter inside. Really, a polite, nice, 'I'll-do-what-you-want' Ichigo? That's just rich!
" What do you mean?" Ichigo asked, still very dense about this certain subject. Sensing this Karin decided to drop the subject. The family of four walked toward their home, joking and chattering like a normal family for once. That was until Ichigo saw a ghost of a little girl named Mikan, who(ichigo had learned) had died from being hit by a car.
Ichigo was able to see ghost since he was little and often befriended ghosts that were of the age of toddlers to those of his own age. Karin was able to see the shadows of ghost and Yuzu only the outline. Isshin,(Ichigo was sure of this) however, seemed not to be able to see them at all. So when he saw Mikan looking worried he decided to see what was wrong.
" I'll see you guys at home later. I need to check up on something." and he dashed off without a reply. But the Kurosaki family only shrugged it off and headed once more to their home. Afterall, Ichigo had done this many times in the past, why worry about it now? Still...
' I hope Ichi-nii comes home before dinner without getting in a fight again. I making something special for tonight!'
' Ah~. There he goes again, trying to help out the little ghost kids with their problems. One day he'll get seriously hurt, I just know it!'
' Ichigo...Come home safe tonight...I have a strange feeling that you're never going to be the same again...Stay safe...My son...'
As those thoughts ran through the three Kurosaki's, Ichigo meets up with the spirit of the deseased girl.
" Oi, Mikan! What's up?" Mikan turned her head around toward the familiar voice and her face seemed to brighten up at the sight.
" Ichigo-san! What happen to your hair?" Ichigo let out a small chuckle. At the mention of his name other young spirits came out of hiding to see him. They all started cheering.
" It was for the school festival. Anyway, something bothering you?" Her face fell almost inmediately. When she didn't answer Ichigo turned to the triplets, who all died from highly allergic reactions from hornet stings. Upon meeting the three, Ryu, the oldest, and Kyu, the middle child, took to Ichigo like a big brother and would always ask things of him. Miyu, the youngest and also the most mistrusting and shyest, also came to like him in a brotherly way. So whatever Ichigo asked of them, they would do almost anything to do so.
" She's says she saw a monster and she told us that it wanted to eat her!" The triplets said at the same time. They weren't sure what to make of it, but they knew Mikan well enough to know she would not lie but the story was too unbelievable. It seemed that Kenta, another lost soul who had died from a blow to the head, thought this too.
" I'd like to see this monster of yours Mikan. I mean I know you don't make things up but come on! A monster? what kind of mon-!" Kenta never finished his ranting as a loud wail-like screech resounded into the air. Chills went up the 5 souls and all throughout Ichigo's body. Mikan's eyes grew large.
" T-t-that's the sound it makes! THAT"S THE SOUND! Ichigo, save us! Please!" As she begged Ichigo of the task, creatures with mask-like faces with a holes in their chest came into view in the night sky. Panick filled their eyes. Only one word seemed to escape Ichigo as he felt his body tense.
" RUN!!!" And so they did.
(At the Soul Society)
A man with long white hair and a kind gentle looking face, wearing a black kimono with a white haori with the number 13 on it over it, sat and stared at a pond surrounded by small boulders reminiscing about the past. He is the captain of the thirteenth division in the Gotei 13 of the Soul Society. He is a sickly man who is well respected and is without a vice captian in his devision as the latter had died long ago because of an unfortunate event leaving his and the vice's work up to his third seats. He also does not wish to replace the mans place and feels as though he can not find one suitable enough for the job and the rest of the division agrees with him as well. No one could take the place of former Vice Captain, Kaien Shiba.
As he was sitting on the back porch, the calmness of the scene was dashed when a short-haired blond tomboy rushed to him spouting a message as fast and as loud as she could manage.
" CAPTAIN! It's an emergancy sir! There was an accident in Karakura town, sector 2251! Our troops stationed there are being steadily wiped out by a small army of hollows!" The girl shouted moving her hands with each word she said trying to make sense.
" Kiyone, calm down. Now what is this about?" This seemed to work but as soon she was about to start another messenger came in, this time a man with tan skin and a triangler looking hairstyle.
" Captain Ukitake SIR! There was an inccident in the town of Karakura in sector 2251, SIR! Soul reapers positioned there are being killed off by a group of 13 hollows!" He reported looking grim as he did so.
" Hey! Who said you could relay my message to the Captain Sentaro!?" Kiyone yelled.
" Your message!? You mean my message you idiot!" Sentaro countered.
" Look who's talking!"
" Why you-!"
" THAT'S ENOUGH!" The man, as patient as he was had decided enough was enough. This was going to take a while to get settled.
" Now you're saying that I have orders from soutaicho and I have to go to my sector in Karakura to slay the Hollows gathering there for some reason with you two and another third seat!?" Ukitake was irked about the latest development to say the least and knowing that some of his men were being killed as they spoke.
" Hai Captain!" Says the blond.
" Yessir!" Says the guy. The two glare at eachother.
" *sighs* Well let's be on our way. Sentaro get Rukia Kuchiki, Kiyone accompany me to the destination; we're going ahead."
" Understood!" the two say at the same time. As Sentaro shunpoed off, the Captain and Kiyone summoned a hell butterfly to get to there destination. Once there, they will receive the biggest shock of their lives as shinigami, in more ways than one.
Me: Sorry for the shortness!....AND the lateness.
Yuna: Her computer has caught a virus-
Yuno: -So she needed to wait a while.
Gin: She is currently using a friend's.
Yuna: Without any a-do, let's meet the well respected Captain Ukitake!
Ukitake: Hello.
Gin: How do you deal with Kiyone-san and Sentaro-san?
Ukitake: Patience. Lots of patience, understanding, and I also have to stay calm. Having aspirin nearby helps alot.
Yuno: Why do I have a feeling we'll need aspirin the next chapter?
Yuna: Our next guest?
Gin: That would explain it.
Me: Well anyway, hoped you liked it!
Everyone: See you next time!
