Old Face New Person
"Ken Kyro?" asked the blonde Soul Reaper.
"Yes," replied Ken, "is there something confusing about my name?"
"Do you think you are just going to get away with that?" asked the woman Soul Reaper.
"Yeah," replied Ken. The other three were shocked to hear that. Ken then walked towards the railing and stood there.
"Why are you dropping your guard like this?" asked the Soul Reaper with sunglasses. Ken didn't answer.
"Are you going to answer him?" asked the woman Soul Reaper.
"Nope," stated Ken. Ken jumped over the railing and started to fall. In a instant, Ken launched a grabbling hook at a near by building and vanished from the Soul Reapers eyes.
*Xavier*
Chad and Xavier, who was in his human form, were laying waste to the enemy forces. Time and time again they tossed aside enemy's that crossed their path. Xavier had explained to Chad how he knew where Rukia was.
"I see," Chad said in his usual cool tone, "you found out soon after you landed."
"Yup," replied Xavier, "so we know that we are getting closer." Chad nodded his head as he stared at the white tower.
"You know, there is a chance we will come across captains," Chad pointed out. Xavier thought about it and nodded his head casually.
"Don't worry about too much Chad," Xavier said happily, "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Xavier tapped Chad's shoulder and ran ahead. Chad picked up his pace and caught up to Xavier. Some more Soul Reapers appeared and Chad just blasted them with his arm. Xavier was in awe of Chad's power.
"Are you going to act like that every time I use my power?" Chad asked with a worried look. Xavier slowly nodded his head and snapped back into reality.
"Still though," stated Xavier, "I think we should go through the giant hole the wall that you just made." Chad nodded his head. Just as the two stepped past the wall, another Soul Reaper appeared.
"HAHAHA! You two are misfortunate to have come across. . ." Xavier sighed and transformed into his half bear form and punched him, the Soul Reaper was sent flying.
"That guy was annoying me," Xavier sighed. Chad didn't respond and kept going. Xavier was right behind him; however, soon they saw red flower petals falling. After words, a Soul Reaper appeared wearing a straw triangle hat and a pink robe.
"I'm captain of squad eight, Shunsui Kyoraku," stated the man wearing the pink robe.
"So what?" asked Xavier, "look we are in a hurry so-" Xavier cut himself short when he saw the face of Shunsui. He couldn't believe it.
"Xavier, what's wrong?" Chad asked out of concern.
Roland Deene, Xavier thought, no, it can't be. Xavier shook it off and regained control of his senses.
"Sorry about that Chad," Xavier apologized to Chad, "I spaced out. But that's not going to happen again." All of a sudden, Xavier saw Shunsui covered in red flower petals.
"Sorry, but we don't have time to watch your skit," stated Chad, "so can you step aside to allow us to pass?"
"Oh come on," Shunsui complained, "you should loosen up a little."
"I have asked you nicely," Chad said a little impatient, "and I am kind of in a hurry. You don't seem like a bad guy, so if possible, I don't want to fight you."
"That puts us in a pickle then," stated Shunsui.
"What do you mean?" Xavier asked curiously.
"Since none of us are eager for a fight, but I can't just let you pass through here," explained Shunsui, "is there any way you two can retreat?"
"Sorry, but that would be like taking a step back," stated Xavier, "I'd rather move forward." Chad seemed to be loss for words.
"I see," Shunsui stated sadly, "then I guess that leaves us with no other choice." Chad and Xavier readied themselves. Then, Shunsui brought out three cups and a jar of sake. "We will have to share a friendly drink." Chad seemed confused; however, Xavier seemed excited about the idea.
"Now, I can drink to that." Xavier sat in front of Shunsui, and he offered Xavier a cup.
"Xavier, you can't," Chad protested.
"Why the hell not?" Xavier asked a little annoyed, "I am 25 years old. I can drink." Chad seemed confused.
"Really? You're 25?"
"Yeah," replied Xavier, "why is that hard to believe?"
"Well, the way you act is childish?" explained Chad.
"Yeah," Xavier agreed with Chad, "but that's the secret to youth."
"I like your attitude," Shunsui said as he poured some sake into Xavier's cup. Chad still seemed confused.
"After all," stated Xavier, "right now, I am not much in the mood to fight."
"Why?" asked Chad, "we are in the middle of a battle."
"If you don't mind Shunsui," Xavier stated while ignoring Chad's question, "you don't mind if I toast to a friend?"
"Not at all," Shunsui said politely. Xavier raised his cup above his head.
"To Roland Deene," he said with a proud voice before drinking the sake.
"Who's that?" asked Shunsui.
"An old friend of mine," explained Xavier, "and my trusted partner. Well, he use to be." Shunsui and Chad seemed saddened by this information.
"What happened?" Shunsui asked as he poured more sake in Xavier's cup.
"Well, he was murdered," explained Xavier, "by someone that looks like you guys, a Soul Reaper." Shunsui seemed shocked by this information as well as Chad.
"What did he look like?" Shunsui asked in earnest.
"Don't know," replied Xavier, "however, I won't hat. It looked so stupid." Shunsui looked shocked to hear that too.
"A stupid hat eh," he said quietly.
"Yeah," Xavier said after finishing off another cup of sake, "do you know who that is?"
"Maybe," Shunsui said while taking another drink, "it could be Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of squad twelve." Xavier's eyes seem to intensify.
"Do you know where I can find him?" he asked angrily.
"Well, he might be somewhere out in that direction," Shunsui pointed off in a direction. Without hesitating, Xavier took out his book and looked at a picture of an American Bald Eagle. Xavier transformed into a blue eagle with blue feathers and soared into the sky in the direction that Shunsui pointed at.
Roland, Xavier thought, I shall avenge your death. This Mayuri might be the one that I have been searching for. Perhaps that it was a good thing that I decided to help Ichigo and his friends. Now, the time has come to avenge you.
