At the end of the Prologue, Ichigo Kurosaki, now became a Soul Reaper thanks to Rukia Kuchiki, to protect her sisters from a deadly Hollow. Additionally, there was Y/N L/N, a newcomer of Karakura Town to protect its citizens from danger & evil. However, they were unaware that a certain enemy group spied over their heads. On the other hand, Ichigo's life soon changed dramatically forever.

Dawn broke over Karakura Town and the townsfolk were resting peacefully... Except for one who got a rude awakening.

Isshin: *Falling straight towards Ichigo* "GOOD MORNING, ICHIGO!!!!"

*BLAM!!!*

Sure enough, Ichigo got out of bed and pinned her father down by the face.

Ichigo: "You nuts? What kind of sick, twisted freak attacks his own daughter while she's just lying there sleeping?"

Isshin: *Being strained* "You are getting better! It looks like there's nothing left for me to teach you, my daughter."

Ichigo: *Stopped and remembered last what happened last night* "Wait a minute! What about Kagine and Yuzu's injuries from last night?"

Isshin: *Puzzled* "Huh? Injuries? What are you talking about?"

Ichigo was dumbfounded as our scene changes to the damaged dining room.

Isshin: "It's a miracle! A truck plows right into our house and none of us even get so much as a single scratch!"

Karin: "What's more miraculous is the fact that none of us even woke up when it happened."

Ichigo: *Thought to herself as she examined the damage* 'I don't get it. Their wounds are completely gone. They think that a truck did all this? Could this have been the work of that soul reaper? And Y/N... He healed Yuzu & Karin, but he brought two apes here. Just what is he?'

Yuzu: "Ichigo! You better hurry up and eat breakfast, or you're going to be late!"

Ichigo: "...Yeah." *Thinking about Rukia* 'I wonder if she went back to that place she was talking about. The Soul Society.'

She was now thinking about Y/N but little did she know that today will not be a normal day.

Meanwhile... On a Mysterious Archipelago

On the outskirts of Karakura Town, there was an incredibly luxurious site to see. Near the Pacific Ocean is a Private Archipelago with many parts of mysterious lands and a combination of an amusement park, a kingdom and a fantasy dream come true. On top of the tallest mountain, in the center, there was a breathtaking castle mansion. And you may ask, who lives inside this fancy and amusing establishment?

Music Insert: "Let's Make it!" By Jun Senoue!

Y/N: *Kicks open the the front palace doors* "Ha! Boom baby! Time for school, Y/N style! When there's school, there's new lessons to learn and new friends to make!"

First, he fastened his Grind Shoes on tight, then he got his bluetooth headset connected to his phone, next he ran into a Clear Pipe Cannon and launched himself into the edge of Western Tokyo to reach Karakura Town and its High School!

Y/N: "YEAH!!!"

https://youtu.be/i0LosYvpZkY

Music Insert: "Escape from the City - Cash Cash RMX!" By Cash Cash! (Racing towards Karakura High School!)

Near the waterfront, Y/N pulled out his Comet Bike from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with Sonic the Hedgehog Decals and initiated Glide Mode to glide in the air and land on the port and zoom away.

Whoo!

Oh yeah!

Rolling around at the speed of sound

Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow

Can't stick around, have to keep moving on

Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out!

Y/N sped on the roads but he's being careful not to hit pedestrians and other drivers who're in the way. Ahead is a crowd of people in his way but using quick thinking he steered to the right onto a ramp, jumped and activated Anti-Gravity Mode and was hovering onto the building walls.

Must keep on moving ahead

No time for guessing, follow my plan instead

Trusting in what you can't see

Take my lead I'll set you free

The citizens saw Y/N and they awed in amusement. The gamer doesn't mind the attention but he saw building signs and fire escape ladders up ahead and he dodged & ducked as best as he could and after that, he was off the building walls and quickly activated Glide Mode again. Y/N could see a narrow road ahead, too small for his Comet Bike so he put it away and sped off on foot.

Follow me, set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through

Follow me (follow me), set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through prove it to you

Follow me!

Follow me, set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through

Follow me (follow me), set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through prove it to you

Follow me!

Y/N: "It's much easier for me too!"

Oh yeah!

With Sonic Speed, the gamer was running at the speed of sound and was doing parkour by grinding on stair rails, making loop de loops, swinging from one horizontal bar to another, and jumping high for trick actions just for fun.

Danger is lurking around every turn

Trust your feelings, got to live and learn

I know with some luck that I'll make it through

Got no other options, only one thing to do-o-o-o!

Then using the power of his Copy Essence Deluxe Charm, he transformed into Jet Y/N to fly above the town. Still keen to be on time, Y/N flew faster with his jet engine on his back and his jet plane wing-arms as he was nearing the school.

I don't care what lies ahead

No time for guessing, follow my plan instead

Find the next stage, no matter what that may be

Take my lead, I'll set you free

He knew he had to make a soft landing, so transformed into Flying Squirrel Y/N to only glide in the air and circled around the school to find a runway to land but instead, he found a path to show off his own tricks. He tried to contain himself but failed. He flew down to make his amazing Mid-air Action Tricks again.

Follow me, set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through

Follow me (follow me), set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through prove it to you

Follow me!

Follow me, set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through

Follow me (follow me), set me free

Trust me and we will escape from the city

I'll make it through prove it to you

Follow me!

Some students outside campus watched Y/N performing his daredevil action-styled tricks as he grabbed his skateboard and landed with Sonic Speed to skate towards his destination but he summoned a Goal Pole to show off his finishing move style to make his entrance. He jumped off high from skateboard, landed on top of the Goal Pole, slid downward and earned a flag with his own first initial as his symbol.

Oh yeah!

https://youtu.be/1pDKO6XdS6Y

Y/N: "Oh yeah! Y/N time!!" *Tipped off his hat to the audience and rushed inside*

Later...

Inside Karakura High, students were mostly socializing and learning.

"Tatsuki Arisawa!"

"Orihime Inoue!"

Tatsuki: "Orihime! Did you bring lunch today?"

Orihime: "Mm-hm! Leftover taiyaki-style ramen with wasabi and honey."

Tatsuki was thinking about it and was grossed out about it too.

Orihime: "Would you like some, Tatsuki?"

Tatsuki: "...That's okay. I'll pass."

Orihime: "But it's really good!"

Orihime didn't see where she was going and was bumped into Ichigo, making her fall to the ground.

Ichigo: "Oh, it's you. Hey, Orihime."

Orihime: "Oh no, I'm sorry!"

Tatsuki: "Ichigo! You knock her down, and that's all you can say? What the heck's the matter with you?"

Ichigo: "Sorry about that. You going to be all right, Orihime?"

Orihime: "Yeah. I'll be okay."

Just as Ichigo helped Orihime up...

*FWOOSH!!*

A streak of rainbow & shades of blue colors sped by the three students. Ichigo pondered what that streak of rainbow light was. Then it returned but as we slowed down to see Y/N who was speeding like Sonic the Hedgehog. He dashed on the school walls and saw Ichigo & Orihime. He picked up Orihime, helped her with books and took quick selfies with her and Ichigo within mere milliseconds. Once Orihime was back up on her feet, she and Ichigo were caught off guard by the speed streak but it was gone again.

Later...

During homeroom, the teacher has important news for the class.

Teacher: "Listen up. We've got a foreign exchange student who traveled from the United States of America to here in Karakura. So I expect you all to give him a warm welcome when he enters."

Right on cue, Y/N entered like the late Elvis Presley

Y/N: *Sang like a rockstar and then Elvis Presley* "THE SUPERSTAR HAS ARRIVED!!! Thank you. Thank you very much." *Saying thank you multiple times*

The students were surprised and speechless by Y/N's entrance. In fact, none of them said a word when he found his seat.

During Lunch...

Meanwhile, Ichigo was chilling in her Classroom 1-3. She was getting over the incident from last night when some students approached her.

"Keigo Asano!"

"Mizuiro Kojima!"

Keigo: "Hey, Ichigo! I heard a truck crashed into your house last night, dude!"

Ichigo: "Pretty much."

Mizuiro: "So, did you clean it all up yet?"

Ichigo: "What are you, kidding? It's going to take forever."

????: "Need any help?"

"Yasutora Sado A.K.A. Chad!"

Ichigo: *Looks up and sees Chad & sweatdropped because of his height* "That's okay. Thank you."

Keigo: "Yeah, Chad. I mean, you could end up bringing the whole house down, you know?"

Unaware of the three, a female student is approaching as well as Y/N wanting to greet Ichigo unexpectedly.

Ichigo: "Hey, what have we got next?"

Mizuiro: "Language Lab."

Rukia: "Hello. You're Ichigo, aren't you?"

When Ichigo turned around, she saw Rukia in a school uniform! The Soul Reaper from last night!

Rukia: "I'll be sitting next to you from now on. My name is Rukia."

Ichigo: *Got startled and stood up* "Ah! It's-- it's you!"

Keigo: "Hey, Ichigo! What's wrong with you?"

Chad: "You two know each other?"

Rukia: "Course not! We've never met before! Isn't that right, Ichigo?"

Ichigo was still in a state of shock. She didn't expect a Soul Reaper in disguise to find her easily.

Mizuiro: "Rukia's a brand new transfer student."

Keigo: "Nice to meet you!"

Rukia: "It's a pleasure!

As Rukia offered a handshake, she secretly made a message on a hand which said, "MAKE A SCENE AND I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

Ichigo: *Thinks to herself* 'This can't get any worse!'

She just jinxed it as she didn't notice until too late she saw Y/N relaxing on a lift platform from the Mario Series.

Y/N: "Sup, Ichi?" *Winks & gives a V sign to her*

Ichigo: 'Dammit!! It just did!!'

Mizuiro: "Whoa! Is that another transfer student?"

Y/N: "Name's Y/N. Y/N L/N of the United States of America!" *Giving a prideful smile*

Keigo: "Wow. A foreign exchange student."

Chad: *Only said nothing and stared blankly at Y/N*

Rukia: "Oh! You must be Y/N L/N."

Y/N: *Hops off the lift* "That's me."

Rukia: "It's nice to meet you too."

Rukia held out her other hand with a different message for Y/N to read and it said "JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD, Y/N! I'LL SPEAK WITH YOU & ICHIGO LATER!!" Y/N winked and tongue-clicked at Rukia knowing what to do as he shook hands with her.

French Narrator: "Later..."

Ichigo: "All right, you freaky nut jobs. What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Y/N: "Well, I wanted to learn some lessons from here and wanted to make friends. It's not too much to ask, is it?"

Rukia: "He's right. Ya big brute. Jeepers, you're not going to hurt us, are you?"

Y/N was trying hard not to laugh at Ichigo's reaction the way she saw him and Rukia.

Ichigo: "First of all, you can knock it off with that goody two shoes act, okay?"

Rukia: "Well, I think it's pretty good, considering I learned it overnight."

Y/N: "To be fair, I totally agree. She must attend to becoming an actress."

Rukia: "Why thank you, Y/N. That was a sweet comment."

Ichigo: *Felt annoyed & blushed* "All right, forget it. So tell me just what you're doing here now, anyway. Weren't you supposed to be heading back to your Soul Society or whatever it was?"

Y/N: "Soul Society?"

Rukia: *Holds her notebook out and showed Y/N* "Don't worry. I think you'll understand more than Ichigo."

Ichigo: "Hey!!"

French Narrator: "One long explanation later..."

Y/N: "So let me get this straight, Rukia. Those Hollows tried to consume innocent souls but they couldn't because as a role of a Soul Reaper, it's their responsibility to purify Hollows and send the souls of the people who passed away to the Soul Society. Am I right?"

Rukia: "That's correct."

Y/N: "I can tell because the drawings are pretty accurate."

Rukia: *Turns to Ichigo* "See? He understands me unlike you."

Ichigo: "Of course he does! He has the brain of a child!"

Y/N: *Felt offended a bit* "I do not!" *Turned to Rukia* "Do I?"

Rukia: "Of course not."

Y/N: "So, Rukia, if you are a Soul Reaper and you're still here, how come you're not back in the Soul Society?"

Rukia: "Well, Y/N, I can't return to the Soul Society because only Soul Reapers can go back there and I haven't the power to return anymore."

Y/N: "How come?"

Ichigo: "Yeah, why not?"

Rukia: "Last night, I lost almost all of my powers as a soul reaper. I'm afraid they were all absorbed into you, Ichigo."

Ichigo: "Huh? I wouldn't know anything about that."

Rukia: "Thanks to you, for the time being, I'm stuck in this ridiculous Gigai form."

Y/N: "Gigai Form? What's that?"

Rukia: "It's a temporary body that serves as a vessel in an emergency. If the soul reaper is drastically weakened, they reside inside of a Gigai until their powers come back."

Ichigo: "Oh, now I get it. So that's why the others were able to see you before, right?"

Rukia: "Precisely. And so, until all of my powers come back, it's up to you, Ichigo, to perform the duties of a soul reaper."

Ichigo, on the other hand, wasn't sure of this.

Rukia: "It's only natural. You now possess the strength of a soul reaper. You do not have the right to refuse your calling."

Ichigo: "NO WAY!"

Y/N: "No?! Why not?!"

Ichigo: "My monster fighting days are over. That was a one-time deal."

Y/N: "Come on, Ichi. You did amazing last night against that Hollow Freak."

Rukia: "I agree with Y/N."

Ichigo: "That was only because my family was in danger. But it's not like I'm ready to go and fight for complete strangers or anything. Sorry to disappoint you both."

Rukia: "...I see. Guess there's no other choice, then."

Rukia put on some fingerless gloves with a skull and blue & white flames and pulled Ichigo's spirit out of her mortal body as Y/N caught it in time!

Y/N: "Mamma Mia!"

Ichigo: "Ah, crap! What happened to my body? What in the world did you do to me?"

Rukia: "Follow me. You too, Y/N."

Y/N: "Uh... okay. I guess..." *Sweatdropped*

Later...

Soon, the trio came to a park as Y/N was trailing behind with Ichigo's spiritless body.

Ichigo: "Hey, you're going to tell me where we're going, here?"

Rukia: "We're getting close."

Ichigo: "Close to what?"

Rukia: "Our latest orders from the Soul Society. It looks like a spirit of a boy that dwells here in this park is likely to come under attack soon."

Sure enough, a scream was heard and destruction was caused by a Hollow chasing a little ghost boy!

Ghost Boy: "HELP ME!"

This Hollow was known as Hexapodus, a spider-like Hollow.

"Hexapodus!"

However, just before the Hexapodus could get the ghost boy...

Y/N: *Targeting the Hollow* "BANANA SLAMMA!!!"

Y/N, now Hammer Y/N, slammed down his mallet on the Hollow's head without Hexapodus expecting it!

Rukia: *Surprised* "What the-?"

Ichigo: "Y/N?! B-but I thought-"

Y/N: "Hey ladies."

Ichigo & Rukia turned to see the real Y/N with Ichigo's spiritless body.

Rukia: Wow, Y/N. You sure surprised me and Ichigo again."

Y/N: "Well I live to please and surprise."

Ichigo: "Okay, we get it. Just tell us who the hell is that fake you is fighting that Hollow."

Y/N: "That's actually my double. Earlier I ate a Double Cherry and my double got a head start for you two. No need to thank me."

Hammer Y/N: "But you'll thank me later too!" *Turned to Hexapodus* "DIE, SPIDER HOLLOW!! DIE!!!"

Y/N's Hammer Clone was fighting Hexapodus and guarding the Ghost Boy at the same time but he was beginning to feel tired out so suddenly. Ichigo grew concerned and began to jump into action but Rukia stopped him.

Rukia: "Wait!"

Ichigo: "What is it?"

Rukia: "Just where are you going? That boy's a complete stranger, isn't he?"

Ichigo: *Sighed in annoyance* "So what? I can't just stand by and let this happen. You expect me to watch him die?"

Rukia: "Don't be such a fool. In the eyes of a soul reaper, all the spirits of this world are equal. Getting involved simply because spirits are nearby or they need help isn't how it works. Leave him be. If you intend to help this child, then commit yourself to saving every spirit. You must be willing to go to any length, even to sacrifice your life."

Y/N can understand what Rukia was trying and Ichigo was thinking about her decision when Hammer Y/N was losing his energy quickly when Hexapodus pinned him down on the ground. The Ghost Boy watched as Hammer Y/N was about to lose. The Hammer Double was pushing the Hollow's face against its position with his own hands.

Hammer Y/N: *Struggling* "Must... Stop... Hollow!"

Unaware of Hexapodus, Ichigo sliced its front legs but retreated to recover. As Hammer Y/N got up, he comforted the Ghost Boy who was crying.

Rukia: "Have you made your decision, Ichigo?"

Ichigo: Like hell, I have. I haven't decided to do squat. I saved this kid because I wanted to. The same goes for Y/N. You hear me? What about you?"

Rukia: "Me?"

Ichigo: "Y/N almost gave his life to save me and my sisters without thinking. Reckless, I know, but he surprisingly took down a Hollow all by himself with powers of his own the other day. In fact, he was being kind to me and the Ghost Girl who died. Now to you, I seem to remember you putting your life on the line to save me last night. Tell me, were you really thinking about your duty when you rushed to help me? Of course not. That's the last thing on your mind when you save someone. At the very least, I choose..."

Suddenly the Hexapodus returned and charged towards Ichigo, but just as it was about to attack...

Ichigo: "TO BE DIFFERENT!"

And with that, Ichigo stabbed the Hollow's head with her sword and therefore the Hexapodus has been purified.

Y/N: "Well done, Ichi! Wish I could clap for ya but my hands are full at the moment." *Chuckled nervously*

Hammer Y/N: "Aye. It took some guts and some psychology at the moment."

Ichigo: "Tch." *Turns to the Ghost Boy* You okay?"

The Ghost Boy looked at Ichigo and was startled.

Ichigo: "Hey, kid. If you don't want to go through that again, you better hurry up and pass on already."

Hammer Y/N: "Don't worry, lad. Your soul will be sent to the Soul Society. You'll be safe there. Just trust us."

And just like Rukia did to the Glasses Ghost, Ichigo placed the mark from her sword's hilt onto the Ghost Boy's forehead. Rukia, Y/N and Ichigo watched as the Ghost Boy was transported to the Soul Society safely. Y/N was amazed.

Y/N: "Huh. So that's how the duties of a Soul Reaper works. Pretty cool but still sad to see someone die."

Hammer Y/N: "Aye. The Life Cycle can be cruel if you're not careful."

Rukia: *To Ichigo* "You did that quite beautifully."

Ichigo: *Stood up* "I'm gone."

Y/N: "One more thing, Ichi. What should I do with your spiritless body?"

Ichigo: "Just follow me."

Rukia watched as Y/N & Ichigo went back home as Hammer Y/N disappeared into thin air. However, little did they know they were watched by seven sinister eyes from the bushes.

???? #1: "So that's what Soul Reapers do?"

???? #2: "SOUL REAPERS?" *Felt Clueless* "WHAT'S A SOUL REAPER?"

???? #3: "Ugh. Must we explain to him what Soul Reaper is? I'm sick & tired of telling the definitions and explanations already!"

???? #4: "I'll take that question. Soul Reapers or Shinigamis in Japanese are Death Gods. What I've studied for the past few days is that they send the souls of the deceased to another realm that no one in this world has heard of. It is called the Soul Society."

???? #5: "Soul Society, Schmoul Society, Smart Shell. It ain't that big of a deal."

???? #1: "Sounds like a real deal to me."

???? #6: "I agree. That Soul Reaper said that the Hollows are here roaming this town."

???? #4: "Well, if that's true, then we need to take one back to his Powerfulness alive. We might find some use for us."

???? #7: *Manically Giggled* "Yeah, yeah. I love that idea already! Bahahaha!!"

???? #3: "Get a chill pill, Four-Eyes. You're losing your sanity that makes you sane."

???? #4: "We should retreat to our hideout that his Grand Evilness set up and assigned us to. Follow me."

The seven spies snuck away to their hideout. Who are these spies? Are they the Ghost Gang's bosses?

French Narrator: Later That Night...

It was a moonlit night. Orihime was in her bedroom doing her homework. Unaware that a ghost was watching her. However, the ghost had no idea that 2 Hollows ambushed him and took him back to their home. They disappeared without a trace. When the Hollows returned to their territory with the ghost, the spirit was frantic.

Ghost: "What's happening? Where am I? I don't understand. What are you going to do to me?"

Hollow: "You are a lost little spirit. Now, let's devour this soul."

That was when the deadly Hollows pounced onto their prey without showing any mercy and the poor ghost was terrifyingly transformed into Hollow.

Meanwhile...

Inside a dark magical library, a wizard was witnessing in his crystal ball the ghostly victim's of Karakura when they were devoured by the Hollows.

????: *Researching the Hollows* "Hmm... Very interesting... Who would've suspected that supernatural creatures in this world can possess this much power..." *Looks at the portrait of his king* "I mustn't put his Royal Powerfulness' life in jeopardy. The only way to retrieve one of these beasts... Is to call in an expert." *Chuckled sinisterly*

Y/N can understand what Rukia was trying and Ichigo was thinking about her decision when Hammer Y/N was losing his energy quickly when Hexapodus pinned him down on the ground.

French Narrator: " Zee next day..."

Rukia: "Hear my voice, oh Lord. Help your humble child understand why she was born. And if your divine will wishes it, "summon her back to your side. I await your-"

Ichigo: *Annoyed* "Jeez! Would you shut up already?"

Rukia: "What is your problem? I'm studying contemporary language."

Ichigo: "You're off by a couple centuries. So tell me. How long do you plan on following me around?"

Rukia: "Until you answer your calling as a soul reaper."

Ichigo: "Whatever."

Suddenly, a car tire screech was heard and so was a voice.

Y/N: "TIME BREAK!"

The two turned to see Y/N as he helped rescue Orihime from a near car accident.

Y/N: *Calling to the driver* "Oi! Driver-kun! DO YOU EVER STOP LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING!? HERE'S A HINT! PUT IT DOWN!!!" *Turns to Orihime as he helped her up* "Sorry about that, Miss. Just gotta be more careful when crossing the street."

Orihime: "That's alright. Thank you."

Ichigo: "Orihime!"

Orihime: *Sees Ichigo* "Ichigo!"

Y/N: "Oh! Hey, Ichi! Hi, Rukia!"

Ichigo: "Y/N? How did you get here? Did Orihime get hit by that car?"

Y/N: "Close but no cigar. I managed to save her in time before the driver could get away with it." *Turns to Orihime* "By the way, are you hurt at all, Ms. Orihime?"

Orihime: "Oh. Maybe."

Y/N: "Maybe?! You could've been hurt or worse!"

Ichigo: "Yeah! What do you mean, maybe? Are you going to be okay?"

Orihime: *Cluelessly* "Mm-hm! It was just a little bump on my head. Don't worry! I'm fine. I swear!"

Ichigo: "You sure you're okay? Where did that car go that hit you?"

Y/N: "Yeah! I want to give that careless driver a piece of my mind!"

Orihime: "Hm? It drove away."

Y/N: "Bruh!"

Ichigo: "Orihime!"

Orihime: "Huh? Oh, sorry."

Y/N: "Never mind, Orihime. The important thing is you're safe."

Orihime: "Thanks. Say, did Ichigo say your Y/N?"

Y/N: "Yep! Name's Y/N L/N! I traveled from the United States of America. Land of the Freedom & Home of the Brave."

Orihime: "America? I've never been there before. Can you take me there one day to see what it's like?"

Y/N: "Sure. Although be warned. Most of the people where I live can be mindless and careless of their surroundings. Plus, they're very sensitive, lazy and not caring for each other."

Ichigo: "No kidding. I don't seem to trust them after hearing your statement. They're overpaid, overdressed, overfed, oversexed and over here."

Y/N: "Ain't that the truth. You can say that again. However, I'm very different from these kinds of people. I was born in Miami, grew up, moved to Brooklyn in the Big Apple and moved here from overseas."

Orihime: "Amazing." *Sees Rukia* "Rukia?"

Rukia: "That's right, and just who are you?"

Ichigo: *Whispered* "Hello! She's in the same class as you! Her name is Orihime! Get your head out of your butt!"

Rukia: *Quickly goes into character* "Oh, of course! Orihime! How are you?"

Orihime: "Oh, I'm great, thank you!"

Rukia: "Well now, it appears that you've been shopping."

Orihime: "Oh! Huh? Oh, that's right! Dinner! My leeks, bananas, butter, and bean jam seem to have made it, too! Ha-ha-ha."

Ichigo: *Thoughts to herself* "Ugh. I don't want to know what she's going to make with that."

Unaware of Orihime, Y/N & Rukia spot a mark on her leg.

Y/N: "Beg pardon, Orihime, but what's that mark on your leg? Did that donkey driver hurt you like that?"

Rukia: "Yeah, How did you get that bruise on your leg?"

Orihime: *Sees the bruise* What bruise? Oh, I guess that happened just now when that car ran into me."

Ichigo: "Does it hurt? Are you gonna be alright?"

Orihime: "A little bit! But I'm okay."

Y/N wanted to give the driver a piece of his mind but Rukia observed the bruise on Orihime's leg. After a few seconds, so did Y/N.

Orihime: *Sees Rukia & Y/N* "Um, what's the matter, You two? Is there anything wrong?"

Y/N: "Well, sorry about that bruise on your leg."

Orihime: "That's alright, Y/N."

Ichigo: "So, you want us to walk you home?"

Orihime: "Uh, I'm okay, really. Thank you."

Y/N: *Hands Orihime his phone number* "Here, Orihime. In case you get into trouble, give me a buzz and race over to your aid."

Orihime: "Thanks, Y/N! See ya!"

Sure enough, Orihime was being careful crossing the street and walked away asRukia & Y/N watched as she was out into the distance.

Ichigo: "Man, she needs to be more careful."

Y/N: "I agree with ya, Ichi. She was lucky that she's still alive."

At dusk...

The trio were walking home when Y/N couldn't help but feel cautiously worried about Orihime.

Rukia: "So then, that girl."

Ichigo: "You mean Orihime?"

Rukia: "Are you close to her?"

Ichigo: "Nah, I'm not really. I barely know her, and we don't really talk much. But she's friends with a buddy of mine from the neighborhood, so I see her around. Although--"

Y/N: "What is it, Ichi?"

Ichigo: "Around three years back or so, her older brother Sora was in this terrible accent and died at our clinic."

Rukia: *Quietly* "What?"

Y/N: *In disbelief* "No way. What happened?"

Ichigo: "He was in a car wreck. He was the only family she had. I'd never realized that she was the girl I saw crying that day. I only found that out just recently."

Y/N was dismayed by Orihime's loss.

Y/N: *In thoughts* 'Man. I'm sorry that Orihime was traumatized by her brother's death. In fact, whoever killed him, will have a good talk once I find them.'

Rukia: "How in tune to the spirit realm were you?"

Ichigo: "Huh? Not as much as I am now. I mean, it's really only recently I've been able to fully see and communicate with the spirit realm."

Rukia: *Thinks to herself* 'Just as I thought.'

Ichigo: "Why? What's up? What are you thinking?"

Rukia: "Nothing. See you later."

Y/N: "Rukia? Where are you going?"

Rukia: "Back home?"

Ichigo: "Where's that?"

Rukia: "You really want to know?"

Ichigo: "Guess not."

Rukia: "Then don't ask me."

Ichigo sighed in annoyance.

Ichigo: "Yeah, right."

Meanwhile, Y/N turned back and snuck away to make sure Orihime wasn't in trouble.

Later that evening...

All was quiet at the Inoue Residence until Tatsuki rang the doorbell as Orihime answered.

Orihime: "Coming!" *Opens the door to see Tatsuki* "Oh! Hi, Tatsuki!"

Tatsuki: "My mom thought that I should bring this over for you. It's stewed beef and potatoes."

Orihime: "Wow! Great! Home-made beef and potatoes!"

The two friends entered the house and sat down to eat.

Orihime: "Oh, boy! This is delicious!"

Tatsuki: "I swear, if I bring meals over for you to eat, you always end up cooking the weirdest stuff."

Orihime: "I never thought about it. You really think so?"

Tatsuki: "Um, yeah. I mean, what is this stuff?"

Meanwhile... At the Kurosaki Clinic...

Ichigo was in bed reading her comic book when Yuzu opened her door.

Yuzu: "Hey, Ichigo? You haven't seen my pajamas, have you?"

Ichigo: "Yuzu, come on! Knock before you come in here!"

Yuzu: *Pouted* "Well, I'm sorry I asked. You've been so mean since you started high school!"

Ichigo: *Sweatdropped* "Have not, and I don't know where your pajamas are."

Yuzu: "That is just so odd. One of my dresses has gone missing too."

Ichigo: "Why do you feel the need to ask me about every little thing? Do I look like I care?"

Yuzu: "Okay, goodnight." *Closes the door*

Little did the Kurosaki siblings know that Rukia was in Ichigo's closet wearing Yuzu's pajamas. Soon, her phone was going off.

Rukia: *Thought to herself* 'Hm. An order?'

As soon as she answered it...

Y/N: *On speaker* "Rukia! Come in, Rukia! Do you read me!"

Rukia: "Y/N? How did you-?"

Y/N: "No time to explain! We got a 217 in progress with a Hollow!"

Rukia: "!?"

Y/N: "I'm sending you the coordinates of its location! Have Ichigo with you! This one will be harder to take down! I'm planning an ambush on its impact site! I'll meet up with you later! Don't let your guard down!!"

Rukia: "Be careful!" *Hangs up gets out of the closet* "Hey Ichigo!"

Ichigo: *Screams* "What the heck? What are you doing there? Are those my sister's P.J.s you've got on?"

Rukia: "I'll explain later. We got orders and a call from Y/N."

Ichigo: "Orders?"

Rukia: *Puts on her glove* "We're not alone."

Ichigo: "Wait, what are you saying?"

Rukia: "Get down!"

Sure enough, Rukia got Ichigo out of the way in time before the Hollow crushed Ichigo's bed with its fist! The Supernatural Beast crawled out of its portal, entered the bedroom and stared down at Ichigo & Rukia.

"Acidwire!"

The Acidwire growled and roared as Ichigo was in her Substitute Soul Reaper form.

Rukia: "Why are you standing there? Do something!"

The Hollow tried to chomp the two but they dodged in time!

Rukia: "You have to aim for its head!"

Ichigo said nothing but took out her sword and tried to attack but the Acidwire's tail blocked it and pushed Ichigo back. Shocked but undaunted, Ichigo charged again and sliced the Hollow's arm and it roared in pain!!

Rukia: "You need to focus! Don't just swing your sword around!"

Ichigo: "Shut up! Who cares, as long as I kill it?"

Ichigo charged at the Acidwire again as she dodged its punch again and tried to slice its mask off!

Rukia: "Too shallow! *Sees Ichigo & Acidwire pushing against each other* "Huh?"

The Hollow grabbed Ichigo's sword and tried to push it away from itself as the Substitute Soul Reaper was pushing her sword downward with every ounce of strength she had! Stubborn but undaunted, Ichigo managed to break its mask a bit but she made a miraculous discovery! It was the face of a familiar but deceased person!

The victimized Hollow roared & cried in horror & pain at the same time and retreated back to its realm.

Rukia: "It's getting away. Let's go."

Ichigo said nothing and remained silent. Rukia became worried.

Rukia: "Ichigo, what's the matter?"

Ichigo: "Something's not right."

Rukia: "What? What do you mean?"

Ichigo: "I got a look at that thing's face. And it was Orihime's dead brother!"

Rukia: *In disbelief* "Are you certain?"

Back in the Realm of the Hollows, the Acidwire was surely indeed Orihime's dead brother, Sora Inoue, and he was transformed into a Hollow unexpectedly as his Hollow Mask was healed up and the Acidwire roared. Back at the Kurosaki Clinic, Ichigo became concerned and remained silent for a solid few minutes until Rukia broke the silence.

Rukia: "Here's a word of advice. When attacking hollows, come from behind and cleave their heads with one blow. Don't forget. It's a basic theory for any soul reaper."

Ichigo: "Why? What do you mean by that?"

Rukia: "It will keep your injuries to a minimum. Also, with any luck, it will keep you from learning the hollow's identity."

Ichigo: "Wait. What do you mean, the identity?"

Rukia: "You just saw for yourself. Hm. Do you understand? The hollows were once souls of human beings, no different from anyone else."

Ichigo: *Gasps* "You-- you never told me that! So that thing I saw was just a monster, wasn't it? It was some beast from the underworld that needed to be wiped out."

Rukia: "Correct. That is correct. He is just a monster now. And he must be destroyed."

Ichigo: "But it was human once."

Rukia: "It can't be helped. Souls that hold onto feelings of resentment or regret will sometimes resist konso and linger on alone in this world. Should that happen, they either become hollows on their own, or they're devoured by other hollows and become one of the fold."

Ichigo: "But that's-"

Ichigo's thoughts were interrupted when Rukia got another text from Y/N.

Rukia: "We must go! Y/N informed us at its current location to attack."

With no time to waste, they were on their way.

Frenchie: "Meanwhile..."

Tatsuki: "What? They were together?"

Orihime: "Mm-hm. But they were just walking home together, Tatsuki. And there was this boy from the United States of America."

Tatsuki: "America?"

Orihime: "Yep. His name is Y/N and he's new here in town."

Tatsuki: "Oh man. I never knew this Y/N guy was such a smooth operator. I mean, honestly. He didn't even walk you home when you were hurt!"

Orihime: "Well, no. I mean, he did ask me if I wanted him to walk me home. But I... *Begins to blush*

Orihime's daydreaming was rudely interrupted by loud banging noises. The entire house was shaking from bang after bang as it was getting louder. Little did they know that the Acidwire was closing in on them. And little did the Hollow that Y/N was incognito in Orihime's house, waiting for Ichigo & Rukia's arrival but mostly the Hollow.

Y/N: *Thought to himself* 'C'mon, buddy. I'm waiting!'

If Y/N would've discovered the Acidwire's truth, can he destroy both the Hollow & Sora Inoue...?!

To be continued...

A/N: "Cliffhangers... How I hate the suspenseful cliffhangers but they're just too good!
