Chapter Three
Roar, Blaze, Enhance and Show
Previously on Bleach: Fire of Kyubi…It took him a few minutes to find the item in which Katie was talking about. He brought it back into her room and opened the piece of paper. It was a results page for the small item he had brought back with him. "Okay. Plus sign equals positive and minus sign equals negative. That seems simple enough," He looked at the item, which had a plus sign on it and the letters e.p.t. Nick looked back and forth from the item in question and the results, and then he looked back to Katie. "Katie, are you trying to tell me that you're… pregnant?" Nick asked, uncertain.
She simply nodded and started crying uncontrollably again. "Katie, it's okay. You know, you should stay with my family for a while. You know, so your dad doesn't find out."
"Are you sure your mom wouldn't mind?"
"Of course she wouldn't. She's a doctor, for God's sake. She'll be able to take care of you. So, do you want to come live with us for a while?"
"Yes, let's go. Now."
.….
Nick nodded and helped Katie pack some clothes. They left the house after saying goodbye to Keira and explaining what they were going to do. When they got back to Nick's house, Nick explained the situation to Tabitha and sat Katie down outside on the porch. Then, the Hollow attacked.
"Shit." Nick said and took out the Mod Soul container. Popping it into his mouth, Nick felt his Soul being pushed out of his body again. He looked back at his body. "Stay here and protect Katie."
"Don't worry. She'll be safe with me." The Mod Soul said in Nick's body as Nick himself ran towards the Hollow.
Katie looked at the now two Nicks, confused. "Why are there two Nicks?" She asked herself out loud as the Mod Soul came over and took her down into the basement of the house, Nick not hearing Katie ask about why she was seeing two of her boyfriend.
Nick took the katana out of its sheath. "Blaze, Kyubi!" He said and the katana turned into the huge version that seemed lighter than air.
A small distance away, Nick heard Jasmine release her Zanpaku-to. "Roar, Evathon'Dala!" And her glass-like staff appeared in her hands.
Lora had come out of her Gigai as well. She released her Zanpaku-to. "Enhance, Waterfall! " The katana in her hand transformed into a massive white javelin that had a substantial blade.
Nick even saw his own mother come out of her body. "Show, Falcon!" She said and her Zanpaku-to was released in the form of a Dao sword with a forked blade.
All together, the four Soul Reapers charged their enemy. Lora looked at the others, smiling. "Don't let his small size trick you, guys. The Soul Society has been hunting this Hollow for over twelve years."
"Don't worry about us, Lora. We were trained by a reliable teacher." Jasmine said.
"Thank you, Jazz. Now, let's get this guy. Do you remember the Hadou, or Destructive Arts I taught you?"
"Yes. I'm using one right now," Nick held out his hand. "Hadou Thirty-Three: Soukatsui!" In response, a huge blue wave of energy flew from his hand and hit the Hollow in the center of its face.
The mask on the Hollow cracked off a little at the jaw and the forehead. The Hollow laughed. "You think your weak Reiatsu is strong enough to defeat me? You are a pitiful group."
"Don't be so sure. Mom, how about we all do it together?"
"That'll work. Everybody ready?"
Everyone nodded and held out their hands. "Hadou Sixty-Four: Soren Soukatsui!" All at once, eight waves of blue energy emerged from the four Soul Reapers, one from each of their hands.
The Hollow's Mask was destroyed and a hole had been blasted through its head. It continued to laugh. "You may have defeated me, but be warned: I was one of the easy ones!" And with that, the Hollow was taken into a huge door-like portal down into the fiery pits of Hell.
The family, along with Lora, returned to their bodies, except for Nick, whose body was still with Katie in the basement. Nick turned back to his mother. "Mom, are you sure its alright for Katie to stay here until she has the baby?"
"Of course it is, Nick. She's a member of the family now. We have to take care of her now. Go get her. I think she can see us outside of our bodies." Tabitha agreed with her son.
"Okay, thanks, mom. We'll be back upstairs in a bit." Nick went into the house, falling straight through the floor to reach his body.
Nick went back into his body; catching the Mod Soul pill and putting it back in the dispenser. He saw that Katie was now asleep on the basement couch. He shook her slightly, thinking. How could she fall asleep with the fighting going on? It must be the baby wearing her out.
A/N: Well, isn't that last paragraph just sweet? I'm a guy, but can I make a cute scene? I think I actually suck at it most times, but I do have my good times.
Next Time on Bleach: Fire of Kyubi…"Nick! I don't know if I can go on with this! I don't even know what my father will say if he ever finds out!"
.….
"Today, we're going to the Soul Society. Is that okay with everybody?"
"Yes!" Came one answer.
"No. I can't go. Not with how Katie's feeling. Once it's all settled, I'll get mom to contact you."
.….
"I promise you that I won't leave you until you say its okay. I love you."
"Go, Nick. I'll be with your mom. I'll be fine. Please, don't worry about me. Your mom can protect me."
"But, I don't want to leave you. By the time I get back, you may not be able to recognize me. Where I'm going, you won't age, but I will. I'm not leaving."
"Your mom already told me where you're going. Shit, Nick, I can see you in Soul Reaper form! She told me that as soon as you get back, the aging will reverse itself and you'll be the same age you are now. Don't worry. It's not like I'm going to be waiting for you since time here is going to be stopped. I just wish I could come with you."
"Well, if you really don't mind me going, then I'll go."
"Go, Nick, and stay safe, okay?"
"Of course, Kate. See you when I get back."
.….
"Halt. Who goes…? Oh, Lieutenant Kaelin. Who are these children?"
"They are the children of Former Squad One Captain Lenora. Now, let us in. I'm taking them to Central Forty-Six to induct them."
"Okay."
