Quincy And Mages
The wind blows cold air around them making swooshing sound in the middle the night. Uryu with two fingers pushes his glasses back turns head and looks at Rin alongside Shirou. "I would suggest you two stop hanging around these Soul Reapers after all they have tendency to back stabbings."
Ichigo rises his fist in air crunching down at his teeth. Rukia puts hand on his shoulder moving her head left to right. Shirou takes step forward states "They don't seem be type to backstab someone. But your archery is in western style, correct?"
Uryu squints his eyes "I'm surprised you pick up on that little detail not many people could the difference. That's how I was taught, in western style archery growing up." Shirou finale comment "En I prefer shooting in Japanese method at the moment."
He lets raish bow vanish into nothingness. Turns walks backs into shadows away from train station. "You have key eyes for details Shirou."
Rin still quiet puts hand underneath her chin "Quincy huh, interesting."
As Orihime and Tatsuki walk down the halls of Karakura high school. They see Ichigo alongside those two students from Homurahara except this time around its same girl who give Sakura the pedant? Chad who quietly been here the whole time walks up Ichigo puts hand out they make clapping hand shack. "Mi Amigo it's been while."
"Yeah, how you doing Chad?"
"Doing much better just got out hospital a day or so, since saving that bird from being run over from a week ago." To Shirou he couldn't could really tell if Chad was high school student or not? He was enormous 6'5 and who built like tanked out body builder. Immediately knew just by way he spoke had Spanish speaking accent. Only hear "ICHI-GO!" a teenager medium long brown hair boy who had slim body type is running towards him. Only immediately stop come close Ichigo at same time looks at Rin for moment "WHO THAT GIRL YOU BROUGHT ALONG WITH YOU! SHE CERTAINLY BEAUTIFUL, IS SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" Ichigo grabs Keigo's hair angrily yells back.
"WHAT KIND RIDICULOUS QUESTION IS THAT! KEIGO SHE OBVIOUSLY SHIROU'S SCHOOL ACQUAINTANCE ,DUMBASS!"
With crying expression "ouch so mean." Ichigo lets go of his hair and Keigo expression changes again to sparkles in his eyes and blushing red. "In that case can I ask her out?" He of course looks back with uneasy smile at Shirou who immediately takes step back. Could sense Rin's mood has dramatically change. Simply states "Emiya please let me handle this for moment." So calmly that could freeze entire population center full people transforming it into ice storm.
Shirou accidentally bumps into Chad looks down at him quietly a second and alongside Orihime, Tatsuki who moved to his side of the hallway. "Oh this going end badly."
Tatsuki asks Shirou "Why that?" He puts hand behind his head "I don't know if Ayako told you about the last time Shinji asked Tohsaka out the last time."
"She say he got rejected many time what makes this any different?" He scratches his hair stares at floor. "Let's just say Tohsake has ways of toppling people down."
Rin walks up Keigo who expressing an over confidants and as her eyes are closed with fake smile. "So you want ask me out huh?" He moves his body around like fricken ballerina. "Yes beautiful we could skipped school go arcade, get ice smoothies together!"
She goes on to state "that certainly be nice and all but how could I go out with someone built like wooden twig who going break in half. The minute I need you carry very heavy boxes out my basement." Keigo face went from joyfully panda bear to stunned deer in quarter of minute. She turns looks at freshmen 1st semester final exam top scores was on the board in the hallway. Notices at top list was Uryu Ishida, then at third place Orihima Inoue, 23 spot Ichigo Kurosuki.
"Huh interesting, it seems your name isn't on here?" Taps the board few times looks back at him Keigo puts hand on the wall trying still act all cool. "That stuff for nerds though anyone who get on that list is dork to highest caliber. I'm the exact opposite who against any and all school work and studying!"
Rin states "That certainly an inept view on things which all the more reason why I crunching reject going out with moron like you. Because I pride myself on being proper model honor student at Homurahara Academy. Me, you aren't in same league going out with you would be step too far for someone like me."
That made Keigo fall to the floor touching his stomach and taking all air out him. Like he'd been kicked the balls just by her sheer words. Ichigo looks at Shirou "remind me never piss her off."
He quietly nods back.
To Ichigo surprise they were having class in library something about researching historical figure for assignment project. Once the teacher explained what they need to do the students of his class went on their way. Its luck he didn't saying anything on why Rin and Shirou choose tag along today.
Ichigo strolling around the huge library of Karakura high school had and in the back ground. As Rin/ Shirou going passed book shelf's. Orihima who's right next him searching for something until several books begin fall all once. He helps her step out the way only for one more book with golden cover falls ground right front both them. Revealing small white squirrel like creature along a little red tide. " Fou, Fou, Fou."
Orihime pick animal up from the book shelf "I've never thought see animal in here before?"
White squirrel creature "Fou!"
"Does it have collar with its name on it for we can return to its owner?" He states then comes in closer begins looking around animal's neck. Only for creature to rubble against Shirou's stomach over and over again for some reason?
"It seems it likes you."Orihime continues holding cute squirrel. Rin of course pulls Shirou ear/ rest of his body away in to the corner. Quietly "That animal is giving off high mana signature best be cautious around it Emiya." See creature start licking Orihime face all sudden. "Not like we could do anything about it right now Tohsaka." She puts hand on her face "This quickly getting way to complicated."
Ichigo walks over rise eyebrow "What is that thing like jack rabbit or something?" Continues licking her faces. "I'm not sure either but doesn't seem like it has name or anything?"
"What would you name it Orihime?"
With smile on her face quickly states " How about Sora you know after my brother?" Ichigo instant remembers her brother turning into hollow attacked Orihime. He scrambles to say anything as his face turns light red. "I know… Uh what about name more simplistic like Fou it uh keeps on making that sound or something." He puts hand behind his head and Orihime blushes. "I guess go with Fou then if that makes you happy Ichigo."
"Yes uh am happy with name Fou…" Only for the creature bite his left-hand growls at him. She looks at Fou. "No, bad Fou Ichigo a good person."
"FOuuu!?" The animal tilts head at her in cute manner she holds him. Ichigo trying act like everything fine in front Orihime as she looks at his hand concern and he said "It's fine, doesn't hurt that much. Nothing worry about Orihime."
Stare at Ichigo a second and two longer. "Ok…"
In back of his mind ("That stupid damn animal I you name and you bite me!"). Shirou and Rin came back. He starts picking up the books places them back onto the bookshelf.
But finally grabs the golden book it's already had open to specific page number as he looks at for minute or two longer reading passage catches his attention. (At archaeology site in modern day Iraq recently discover a tablet. Dated about c. 2900 – 2350 BC inscribed on it was some description figure of some sorts here the translation.
"Like Shooting star that came from the heavens itself landed a baby who soon be worshiped like God on peninsula of peninsulas. In the green north, forested hills and mountains with river valleys, soon begin getting sentience by absorbing its followers it had in powered them to life. The age of the Quincy had started and with it the fear of death as well.")
Shirou was silence on what he just readied a minute ago until finally putting golden book back onto the shelf. Turns sees on back table of the library him again fixing one Ichigo classmate stuffed animal. "Is that Uryu?!"
Ichigo comes closer puts his hands on chair. "Where?! Oh that him alright!" Uryu push his glasses backwards continues study alone.
In one neighborhoods away from the school Uryu continues walk up stairs only stop. Turn around and state "Are you guys going keep following me all the way home. Ichigo, Shirou, Rin?"
They stand behind Ichigo "Darn busted how long have you known?"
"Longer then Rin has Ichigo I've been aware that you became Soul Reaper since mid-May. Allowing your spiritual to radiate foolish abandonment made it all the more easier. The fact is you didn't notice me until today unlike Rin of course. Who you yelled her name hallway earlier in day to your friend Kiego which disputed my studying.
In all seriousness Ichigo you can't sense other people's spiritual energy, can you?"
Spiritual Ribbons appear around Uryu Rin crosses her arms with Ichigo look of shock on his face. "That…!?"
Uryu states " A good skilled Soul Reaper could see it and touch at same time. If you had any potential at being one that is. Did you know that Soul Reaper reiraku is red." He comes up to Ichigo face grabs one his ribbons drops it only to dissipate. "Would you like play to see who's superior a Soul Reaper or Quincy? Show how worthless Soul Reapers actual are. To your new found friends as well huh."
Rin still having her arms crossed walks one step forward states "Funny you say that Uryu the obvious answer of course are mages." He turns and looks at her with his eyebrows going down. "This has nothing do with you or mages in general just between Quincy and Soul Reapers."
She puts finger in the air "that's where your wrong Uryu see the minute you said your Quincy last night. I knew who or what I was facing because it's the Quinces who aligned themselves with Holy Church proxy war us mages to lower and lower numbers threw various witch hunt purges over the centuries."
Hearing what she just said Uryu instantly wide open.
At Urahara shop Rukia walks in and sits down at table as tea is served. Asks Kissuke who tall lean man with light skin and hair light blond. Wearing striped dark green white bucket hat which shadows his eyes most the time. " What could you tell me about Mages and the Quinces?"
He stays quiet for minute or two as he has hand over his chin. "That's very peculiar you said Mages and Quinces in the same sentence Ms. Kuchiki."
She sips some tea out a cup. "Why that an issue Kissuke?"
He lends forward a bit. "Because mages are harder getting information on then Quincy. Doesn't really help the fact Mages at Clock Tower have a grudge against Quinces for instigating the conflict between them and Holy Church threw course of human history that is."
Rukia rises an eyebrow "wait how you do know all this Kissuke because they don't teach anything about them in Soul Society?"
"Mage are cautious types to point that its death sentence on being discover from average humans of their pratices by burning entire village make example of them. Order to stop other mages interfering day to day life. Like Soul Society rules to some extent. To answer your question let just say I meet few over the years."
Rukia drinks more "What's the Quincy involvement all this?"
Kissuke slam fist on his hand "Oh right I all most forgot. Their clan scatted all over the world once 200 years ago in fact and dedicated in destroying hollows like Soul Reapers. Came down to ideology different of opinion on how accomplished that goal and drift away each other over time. To cleanse or out right destroy hollows. Inevitable lead to their down fall and perishing of all them in the process."
The air between Uryu and Rin became cold. "Based your expression seem you didn't know that piece history but makes since us mages do love our privacy."
Uryu quietly look at her for moment with stoic expression. "I change my mind you on very much involved Rin. Now the question is can you Mages keep up with us Quincy?"
She puts hand on her wrist " I certainly back it up in competition." Ichigo in the background get into his soul reaper outfit leaving Kon to mange his body. "She took the words out my mouth."Uryu with smirk on his face pulls out some kind of coin "The rules of game are this whoever defeats most hollows 24 hour wins agreed. What am holding is hollow bait once it scatters start converging hollows on this whole town."
Ichigo yells "Your going put everyone in danger are you crazy!"
"Trace on! I can't allow you to do that Uryu and allow other people being hurt because this pointless game!"
Uryu looks at the white sword Shirou just created pointed at his throat "There no need worry about bystanders Shirou because I will kill every hollow comes here." Crushing the hollow bait second later in the sky a hollow sound could heard and large claw nail cracks open the sky. Uryu turns walks up to top staircase. "Word of advise hollows will attack anyone who has high spiritual energy." Ichigo rises his eye brows "MY FAMILY!"
He runs down the staircase back into neighborhood itself. Shirou grabs her arm states with uneasily panic in his eyes. "Tohsaka go back the school make sure that everyone safe. I'll follow Ichigo back to Kurosaki clinic ok?" She bites her nail "I know Emiya that where am heading right now." She follows him down the stairs make right turn
("Damn I allow myself get to damn cared way with my competitive nature. Hopefully that training pay off Shirou your going need it kill these things. Lucky for me I've prepare no thanks to that fake priest.") Feeling burning sensation threw out her body activates her magic circuits then uses reinforcement magecraft on her legs increasing her speed as hollows drip out from the sky.
Ichigo slashing every hollow that get his away look from corner of his eye. Hollow appear behind Shirou cuts in half at using his projected short sword. They run together down the street full hollows. "I thought you went with Rin, Shirou!?"
"I can't allow your family be killed in this after all they done for me these past few days. How can ever repay them for their kindness and beside Rin going back your school make sure everyone alright. I trust she handle any hollow get her way." He said this while stabbing his short sword into medium size hollow. Over head see light blue arrow pierce a hollow mask. Ichigo kills other another hollow with his zanpakuto in hand. "least I dont have worry about Orihima, Chad, Tatsuki with Rin there but wait Karin she should be out school by now!"
Shirou cuts down to three more hollows he continues keep pace with Ichigo. "Where do think she be at?" Blue arrow hits one in front killing it alongside few as more "AH RUUU!" Sounds drown the sky. "Maybe the park is my best guess!" Ichigo jumps slices hollow half in middle evenly and sprints everything his got.
Karin kicks the soccer ball forward the goal only to blocked by new kid arrived at park today. Seamlessly became popular quickly among her peers. The best way she could describe him is having blood red eyes and golden hair wearing dark purple shirt. "Gil what you doing here I thought you gone home already?"
He kicks the soccer ball easy back forth between his legs. "I was planning too but I change my mind. I can't leave you hanging in this hot weather as well. It be selfish and rude of me not take you guys to place has air conditioning and hot springs." She stops freezes for moment to see one of Ichigo friend's run toward her. Chad states "Wait your Ichigo little sister!"
A boom explosion is caused Chad ducks and grabs Karin out the way causing dust cloud be created. The same time Gil rushes to gather every kid that at soccer field away from park. Leaving hollow with only those two left where they are and no other children caught in the cross fire on what this battle about become.
Chad gets up as Karin still laying on dirt ground the large hollow approaches like bull. He rises his fist in fighting position as memories of the past resurface. One single strike tear off the hollow's right arm off followed by upper cut to its mask begins vanishing. Chad stands strong as the dust cloud clears revealing his entire arm had transformed black with dark pink color scheme stretched past his shoulder. Karin gets up from ground looks around see that monster hollow is gone now. "You got him!"
Chad gives her a thumbs up follow by him sliding down along rest of his body to ground knocking out. She turns see Gil clapping he walks threw the dust cloud behind revealing himself. "That's quite a show am impressed he took it out so quickly."
Karin stands face him asks "Gil you saw all that!?"
"Yes."
Sounds of more those things being heard and dozen and more hollows appearing front them. Karin looks with concern. "Crap there's more!"
Gil casual pops a lollipop in his mouth sucking on it with one arm in his left pocket walks forward in front of Karin. He stares at screaming hollows with eyes aren't surprised or afraid just bored. Rises his right hand in air with snap of his fingers few golden portals open up firing spears, swords and axes at hollows killing everything in sight. Then Karin asks the boy in front her
"Who are you really?"
Gil responds casual with smile on his face "Person who trying blend in with human society at this point in time."
