Chapter 2- The Girl

The four Shinigami spread themselves to the far reaches of Karakura Town, in hopes of finding the swarm of hollows. "Reign over the frozen heavens...Hyounimaru!" Was the first attack to be heard, and came from Toshiro's part of Karakura Town. The huge frozen dragon pummelled down onto a party of 10 Hollows, wiping them out instantly. I few loud roars and screams came from that direction afterward. Trying not to cause to much damage to buildings, Hitsugaya continued to release his Dragon of ice over and over, to quickly wipe out the rest of the hollow.

Meanwhile, over on Renji's battle ground, "Roar Zabimaru!" screamed by Renji. The attack sent is snake-like sword whipping out into a couple of hollow's weak spots, the head. Renji, unlike Toshiro and Byakuya, wasn't a captain, and therefore, took more time to wipe out his portion of hollows. Renji kept going at it with everything he had. Eventually, he decided that there was a quicker way to do this. "Ban...KAI"...."Hi-Hiou ZABIMARU!" A sudden huge roar filled the east side of Karakura Town, meaning only that Zabimaru's Bankai form had taken place. "Baboon Bone Cannon!" Suddenly, a huge blast of red reiatsu filled the area, wiping out every hollow in east vicinity of Karakura town, Renji's work was done. "Phew, that was pretty easy, heheh, wonder how the other guys are doing.

And over in the north, "Scatter, Senbonsakura..." An array of blossom-like petals began to flow through the air at a slow, calm pace, but slicing each hollow up with ease nonetheless. Byakuya was able to wipe out around 20 hollow in such a short amount of time with this technique. So he quite easily finishes off his job.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" Yelled Ichigo, letting out a huge wave of reiatsu, hurtling toward a party of around 5 hollow, cutting each one up effortlessly. "Damn, what the hell's going on here, they won't stop coming..."said Ichigo frustrated. Suddenly... "AHHHHHHH!!" A familiar scream came from the ground of where Ichigo was standing, after hearing this Ichigo's head began to spin... "Could it really be?..." pondered Ichigo. Immediately after thinking this, he fired himself down to the ground level, sword in hand ready. He then, reached the hollow and sliced it right down the middle, to reveal it's insides for a split second before it disappeared. Ichigo quickly searched around, looking for the source of the scream. "...uh...I.." Came a voice from behind Ichigo. "Huh, you can see m-" Ichigo's eyes widened after he got a glimpse of the girl's face...

It was indeed, the girl he promised he would meet with again one day, it was Senna. "Wh-what...was that thing?....Who are you?.." brought up the confused and scared girl. Ichigo's heart shattered from this comment, he couldn't believe that, she, of all people, forgot him... Rukia's words echoed in his head, mentioning that Senna would be wiped from everyones memories. Rukia may have been wrong about that, as Ichigo remembers clearly...but... . Ichigo, without saying anything, raised his right arm, to reveal a red ribbon, tied around his wrist. Suddenly Senna's eyes widened to the same size of which Ichigo's did. "I....Ichi.." She stuttered, quickly regaining her memory. "Senna"...Ichigo said with a smile of hope on his face... "Ichig-".... She began to approach him cautiously. Then suddenly, out of nowhere she threw herself into him with tears streaming down her face, grasping tightly around his waist. "Ichigo...How?..How do I remember?...You?..." asked Senna with a smile on her face. Ichigo...was in shock of what just happened. He has remembered her ever since her death, and had no idea that there was any way for them to speak again. He was bright red, but it wasn't embarrassing like other times, it felt, nice.

They stood there, for what seemed to them like an eternity, just embracing one another. "Ichigo.." Senna said after a while when suddenly a huge hollow appeared out of nowhere about to attack both of them. Ichigo saw this coming, so instantly swung Zangetsu high in the air, slicing the hollow in two. He held Senna and jumped off to a more peaceful side of the area, so that they wouldn't be interrupted by any more hollow. They both landed under a tree in the park that Ichigo met up with the others earlier. Senna looked up at Ichigo with a huge happy grin on her face, that made Ichigo weak at the knees. He didn't actually notice before, but she was wearing completely casual clothes compared to what she was wearing last time they met. She was wearing a Light Purple shirt with sleeves slightly too long for her arms, and a bluey, purple skirt. Ichigo really thought she looked quite attractive in this outfit, but was too shy to mention it. After a little while of just looking at each other, "Hey..." Ichigo came out with, "I told ya we'de see each other again, didn't I?" smiling. "Oh Ichigo..." She threw herself into him again. Ichigo happily returned the hug, blushing, but enjoying it. "Oh..um hold on..stay right here" Ichigo said suddenly. Ichigo hurried to the Urahara Shop, looking for Kon.

"So yeah, sorry I don't have a clue, heheh." Finished Kisuke. "Thanks for your time though" bowed Rukia. Suddenly something sounded as if it just crashed into the building, which was obviously Ichigo. After about 40 seconds, of the dust clearing after the crash, Rukia noticed that Kon was back in his Lion body. "Wha...WHA?! Oh damn it.." Kon screamed angrily. "Hey Kon, what just happened?.." asked Rukia. "Huh?, I....don't know" replied Kon confused.

Meanwhile, Senna was lying under the tree that Ichigo told her to stay under, just looking at her chest... Something was there, something unusual, just dangling from her chest. She tried to ignore it for now, plainly because she's unbelievably joyful at the moment. She couldn't seem to get Ichigo of her mind at the moment. "Hey", came a familiar voice from behind the tree. "Oh soyou went to get you body back" responded Senna smiling cutely. Ichigo chuckled a little, until he looked at Senna's chest, to see something dangling there. "Um..Senna" Ichigo came out with, after having his smile turned into a frown of worry, while pointing at her chest. "What's that...there?" Ichigo hadn't taken much of a look in that area recently, so hadn't seen it before. Senna looked down to see chain hanging from her chest, swaying back and forth across her stomach. "I dunno" she replied, "I got hit by a car, and BAM, I got back up, and I could see hollows attacking me, and this thing appeared, why? What is it? Ichigo suddenly froze, he knew exactly what that was, it was obvious that now... Senna was dead. But it's strange that since he reminded her of himself, she started to remember more and more about hollows, Shinigami, and other things like that. "Um, Senna...people, don't normally live through getting hit by cars, especially not on the motorway you were on." Ichigo finally got the courage to say. "Wh- what do you mean?" Senna replied. Ichigo approached Senna slowly, and eventually put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Senna" said Ichigo, close to shedding a tear. Senna's eyes started to tear up, she knocked away Ichigo's arm, grabbed her head and collapsed to the ground, shaking. "Senna, I..." Ichigo approached more. "n..nwagh...." Senna started to make strange noises, so in turn Ichigo grabbed Senna's before unseen face, to look at it. On closer inspection, Ichigo noticed Senna's eye sclera, beginning to turn black, and white shards were beginning to scatter around her forehead. "Hollowficiation?" Ichigo said worriedly. "SENNA!" He then grabbed her face and pulled it toward his, letting their lips touch. Ichigo was bright red, but thought this might work, so he had to do it. Senna's pitch black, hollow-like eyes widened, and began to retrieve their white glow back. While also blushing a radish shade of red, the shards on Senna's forehead began to fade away also. Eventually, Senna was back to normal, but then collapsed into Ichigo's chest, unconscious...
