Chapter 2

 

Normal POV

 

Hiei landed on a dark and long road. He looked around himself and saw nothing but darkness. The only visible thing in the area was the road.

 

“So this is what leads to the other world. If what that fool said is true than I don't have time to waste here.”

 

Beginning to sprint down the dark road Hiei started to think about how long his mission was going to take. It could take him any amount of time from a few days, to weeks, or to months. He didn't want to think it would take nearly that long. As he continued to advance forward the road behind him started to vanish.

 

After a while of running Hiei began to feel uneasy. He continued to run at his current pace but studied his surrounding. Removing his bandana and revealing his Jagan eye Hiei searched the area around himself. But it proved useless, as he was unable to see anything in the darkness.

 

“Damn. It seems my Jagan eye is useless in here. It has to be because of this tremendous energy that's in here.”

 

Hiei quickened his pace, as he didn't like the fact that he felt uneasy and couldn't find the source to his feeling. As he was running he heard what sounded like a great beast crying out. Hiei stopped briefly.

 

“What the hell was that?”

 

Suddenly the same noise could be heard, but only closer. Hiei looked in to the darkness ahead of him. Soon gold eyes light up.

 

“Nani?!”

 

Suddenly Hiei heard another one, only this one was coming from behind him. He turned halfway and looked behind him only to see six more golden eyes light up.

 

“Kuso!” Hiei said as he reached in to his cloak and pulled out his katana.

 

The ones from behind him began to charge at him as soon as they saw him draw his sword. As they got closer their bodies became more visible. Hiei stared at them with slight disgust. Each one had a more wicked body structure than the next.

 

One of the Hollows tried to crush him with one of its massive arms. Hiei dashed forward and thrust his sword into the Hollows lower abdomen and then jumped, bringing his sword with him and splitting it in to two. While Hiei was in the air still he saw the Hollow quickly disperse. Before he could question it another Hollow was coming after him.

 

The Hollow took its hook like hand and tried to stab Hiei while he was still falling. Hiei fazed out of the attacks path and reappeared a few feet to its left. It tried it again now with its other hook hand, only to have Hiei do the same thing again. When Hiei landed the Hollow lunged at him. Holding his sword to his left and waiting for the right timing, Hiei slashed his sword in a wide upward angle. The Hollow howled as its front appendages were hacked off. Taking the opportunity Hiei jumped up to its head and stabbed his sword into the center of its face, and just like the last one it to dispersed.

 

When Hiei landed he looked around for the third one and the one that had yet to so itself. Neither one was in site. Keeping his sword in hand Hiei began to run towards his destination, knowing that he wasted enough time fighting the two Hollows.

 

“So that was what Hollows are. Hn. They weren't difficult to defeat. These Soul Reapers must be very weak if they can be defeated by those creatures.”

 

Hiei continued to run down the seemingly endless road. Looking around himself he could tell he was running out of time. Deciding there was no time left to waste Hiei quickened his pace and became a blur. Finally not too much later Hiei was able to see a light at the far end of the road.

 

“Finally…. what's that?!”

 

Near the end where the exit was a bunch of golden eyes lit up. They were now blocking the exit.

 

“Damn! I don't have time to waste on you weaklings!” Hiei yelled.

 

Some of the Hollows cried out as they too charged at Hiei. With his sword held high Hiei ran into the large mass of Hollows. Hiei was forced to jump from Hollow to Hollow as they attacked him from every angle. He was only able to kill some of them as he passed by, the others he left injured. As he neared the exit the Hollows became more violent and aggressive. When Hiei jumped over another Hollow one managed to grab his ankle.

 

“Kuso!” Hiei yelled out when he felt it pull him down.

 

The Hollow slammed him down on to the ground and attempted to crash him with its other hand. While pinned to the ground Hiei enveloped his left hand in flames and throw a fireball at the Hollow. The fireball worked in freeing him and caused the Hollow to become a giant fireball. It shortly died.

 

Before Hiei could jump back to his feet he rolled to the side, avoiding three different attacks. He quickly sliced through the Hollow that was blocking his path and noticed that the exit was almost too small for him to fit through.

 

“Damn!”

 

Hiei dived forward and barely passed through in time, with the Hollows roaring in anger, as it was much too small for them.

 

When Hiei reached the outside he was falling from the sky above a city. The sun had set and the moon now illuminated the city below. Hiei looked around the city as he was falling.

 

`Hn. This world doesn't look any different than from the human world in my world. Am I really in a different world?' Hiei thought to himself.

 

Hiei landed on a rooftop of one of the many buildings. He walked over to the ledge and used his Jagan eye to search his surroundings. Three stories below him he could see cars and people going by. Once he was done using his Jagan he tied his bandana back on.

 

“This is just like the human world back where I came from, but it's different. I'm definitely somewhere else. I can't find Kurama, Yusuke, or the fools energy.”

 

That was the last thing Hiei said before he disappeared from any ones view.

 

Few Minutes Earlier

 

Rukia POV

 

I jumped from rooftop to rooftop in my search of Hollows. During my search I felt the presence of strong spirit energy. I've been trying to find where it was coming from but I've been unable to pinpoint it. I stopped on a power pole to think of where it could be coming from, when I suddenly felt strong energy of some kind that I've never sensed before.

 

“What is this strange energy that I feel?! It's unlike anything that I've ever felt before.”

 

It was unlike a Hollow but it was definitely not spirit energy.

 

“What could this be?”

 

Next Day

 

Dusk

 

Ichigo POV

 

I caught some skateboarding punks knocking over some flowers left in sign of some ones death. So I decided to go over and teach them a lesson. When they decided to make a second pass through I knocked one of them down and out cold. Then their group leader stepped up and started to yell crap in my face. He then tried to punch me so I kicked him in the face. Then I proceeded to stomp him into the ground. His lackeys then started to panic.

 

I then started to “question” them if they knew what they had done. After I was done they all ran away.

 

“There, that aught to keep those punks from showing their ugly faces around here.”

 

I turned around and spoke to the ghost as she showed herself to me.

 

“Sorry about all that. I'll bring you by some new flowers tomorrow.”

 

The ghost looked at me and she said, “Thank you for coming to my defense. I think now I'll finally be able to rest peacefully.”

 

I walked over to the fallen vase and picked it up.

 

“No problem. It's the least I could do. After all you deserve to rest in peace,” I said as I turned and walked away. The ghost disappeared as I walked away.

 

Next Day

 

Morning

 

Normal POV

 

Ichigo awoke the next morning like he always did. When he was dressed and ready for school he headed down stairs and to the kitchen. He asked his sisters where their dad was and find out that he was at a meeting and would be late. Looking over at the TV he saw that there appeared to be an accident nearby.

 

Ichigo left home to head for school, but not before heading towards where that girl's spirit should be. When he reached the home of the spirit she was nowhere to be seen. He tried calling out for her but she still didn't show up. As he looked around the area he heard something. It didn't sound good so he decided to run in the direction of the noise.

 

When he got there he ran into a bunch of people all running away from something that seemed like explosions. He stopped and shielded his eye when clouds of smoke were blown in his direction. As the smoke was clearing he looked ahead and saw some kind of monster.

 

“Wow! What the hell is that?”

 

Rooftops

 

Hiei's POV

 

I had been searching around this damn city most of the night and all morning and I've had no luck in finding whatever it is that I'm supposed to find. As I was searching last night I felt the presence of spirit energy. It wasn't relatively strong but it wasn't weak either. But I could tell that it was stronger than regular humans. Maybe it was one of those Soul Reapers that Koenma spoke of?

 

I continued to jump from building to building. It seemed like that Soul Reaper was busy, every now and than I would sense a Hollow being destroyed. Now it seemed like it was heading somewhere else. I decided to let my curiosity get the better of me and started in the direction where it was going.

 

I stopped on the edge of a four-story building and looked down at the people below. They all appeared to be running from something. That's when something exploded in the middle of the road. I looked down where it happened and saw nothing but smoke. Soon though I saw a Hollow that looked like a giant insect. I started to reach for my sword when I saw a human running towards the Hollow.

 

`What the hell is that human doing?'

 

He was stopped when the Hollow caused another explosion. The explosion blew clouds of smoke and debris at him. When the clouds slowed down it looked like he was looking through the rest of them at the Hollow.

 

`That's strange. That fool Koenma said that no normal human should be able to see the Hollows and I don't sense anything from him, yet it looks like he can see it.'

 

Soon after a girls spirit ran out of the smoke. It seems like she was the reason for the Hollow being here. I was about jump down there when the spirit ran by the human and he turned and followed her. As they were running the spirit tripped and fell. The human stopped and went to help her. I looked back to the Hollow and saw that it was getting closer to them.

 

“What a fool. Stopping to save a spirit when he's about to be killed himself. It's not even worth my time to save them if he's going to do something stupid like this again.”

 

I stood there and watched as the Hollow stopped in front of them. The human stood there, too shocked to react as the Hollow lifted its right hooked arm to strike them down. I was going to scowl at their helplessness when a black butterfly flew in front of them and changed in to human female.

 

“Who the hell is she?”

 

The female took hold of her katana at her left side and slashed at the Hollows face. She had sliced open its head partly. When she landed she prepared herself for a second attack and leaped back into the air. She brought her sword straight down and finished the Hollow off. Once it disappeared she sheathed her sword, looked back at the human, walked off, and disappeared. I glared down to where she stood before she disappeared.

 

“Hn. She must be a Soul Reaper.”

 

The girls' spirit disappeared as well when the other humans started to gather around. I waited for the human that was able to see everything to leave. When he decided to leave I followed him from the rooftops. He ended up going to one of those schools that the others go to. I waited on the roof, but soon had to choice a new location since the humans decided to have their lunch up here.

 

I decided to hide in one of the trees around the giant building. He didn't seem to be among any of the humans down here so I looked towards the roof and spotted him there. Time seemed to pass slowly as they ate and went back to class. Finally after a few more hours of waiting a bell rang and everyone started exiting the building. I spotted the human when the mass started to thin out. He seemed to be talking to some friends.

 

I continued to follow him from the rooftops. He seemed to be in a hurry and waved to his friends and ran off in a different direction. When he seemed to have reached his desired location he stopped and that spirit from earlier appeared. He pulled a vase with flowers in it and a bottle of water out of his bag. He set the vase down and filled it with the water. They exchanged a few words and the human was off again.

 

Night

 

Ichigo's House

 

Still Hiei's POV

 

I had followed the human to his home. Other than being able to see the supernatural he seemed to be a normal human. Right now he was just lying in the dark on his bed looking the ceiling. Convinced that there was nothing special about him I was going to tie my bandana back around my Jagan when I saw the same black butterfly from earlier flying towards the humans window.

 

Normal POV

 

Ichigo lied on his bed staring at the ceiling of his room, thinking back to what happened in the beginning of his day.

 

`Who was she? I can't make any sense out of what happened out there today,' Ichigo thought to himself.

 

He continued to stare at the ceiling when he noticed something in the corner of his eye. When he tilted his head to get a better look he saw that it was the black butterfly that he saw earlier. Filled with shock he started to sit up when he saw it turn into the girl that he saw when he was attacked by that thing. She stood on his desk and looked straight ahead with a serious expression.

 

“What the hell are you doing here?” Ichigo asked.

 

The girl didn't respond. She then grabbed the hilt of her sword. Ichigo backed up against the wall.

 

“Put that thing away! You're not slicing me up!” he exclaimed.

 

She once again ignored him and jumped off of his desk. She looked around his room.

 

“Hey!”

 

`It's getting closer,' she thought to herself.

 

“I feel it,” she said out loud.

 

She was then kicked from behind.

 

“Who are you and what do you want?!” Ichigo yelled.

 

Outside Bedroom Window

 

Hiei's right eye was twitching with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He had witnessed what had happened inside the room using his Jagan eye and was a little shocked. He wasn't expecting the Soul Reaper to just stand there when the human stepped up to her kicked her, even if it was from behind. At the very least he thought that she would have moved. Now the human was trying to kick her again after she said something to him. This time she jumped onto his leg and then off the back of his head. Hiei smirked as he saw the human fall forward. He heard the human ask again who she was. It turned out his suspicion was right. She was a Soul Reaper.

 

Hiei continued to listen to what she had to say. He basically heard what he already heard from Koenma. It seemed though for some reason the human didn't believe her. He then told her run along and called her a brat. She didn't seem to like that comment and placed a spell called a kido on him. Ichigo's arms were pinned behind his back and he was brought down to his knees. From what Hiei could hear she seemed like she was going to kill him. She drew her sword but instead of killing the human she sent a spirit to the Soul Society. He then heard her explain to him why she was here.

 

`Interesting,' Hiei thought to himself.

 

He also heard that there was still another Hollow wandering around somewhere. Hiei's attention was then drawn away by the noise of something howling. He stopped eavesdropping on the two inside and placed his attention elsewhere. Using his Jagan Hiei tried to find the Hollow, but for some reason was having trouble. After searching a certain distance his vision with the Jagan would become blurry.

 

“Nani? What wrong with me? Why can't I search farther?” Hiei said out loud.

 

His attention was suddenly redirected when he heard what sounded like something crashing into the house. Cursing under his breath Hiei jumped to the roof and ran to the other side, only to see the Hollow there, holding someone. Preparing to engage the enemy Hiei stalled when he felt a spark in strong spirit energy.

 

“What the hell! Where's that energy coming from?”

 

No sooner when he questioned it, it disappeared appeared. He had though realized that it came from below him before it disappeared. Hiei walked carefully over to the edge of the roof and looked down. He heard the Soul Reaper shout something before he saw the human running out of the hole in the wall with a chair.

 

Ichigo attempted to attack the Hollow but was punched away by it. It attempted to attack him again while he was getting up while saying, “I found you.”

 

When Ichigo rolled out of the way Hiei was planning to attack the Hollow but was beat to it by Rukia. She sliced the forearm of the Hollows right arm, which caused it to drop Ichigo's younger sister. Ichigo slide under her and caught her before she reached the ground. While crying out in pain the Hollow faded into darkness.

 

Hiei heard Ichigo calling out, what he assumed was, his sisters' name. He heard Rukia reinsuring him that the girl was fine, but it seemed that she had figured something else out. When she explained it to Ichigo Hiei then understood what it was that he was searching for. After she finished explaining it to Ichigo the Hollow returned, ready to try again.

 

Hiei saw that the Soul Reaper had things under control and slightly eased up, but that was cut short when he saw the human run around the Soul Reaper and face the Hollow.

 

`The fool is actually going to fight that thing when he has no chance to win? Maybe I should just let him die. That way if it is because of him that more Hollows are popping up then there shouldn't be anymore coming for that reason,' Hiei thought to himself.

 

At being provoked by the human the Hollow charged. Hiei stood there and watched, planning to do nothing. He was expecting the human to die when the Soul Reaper jumped in the way and saved him, receiving the fatal wound instead. The Soul Reaper had dug her sword in-between the Hollows teeth and ripped one out. After doing so the Hollow backed off and the Soul Reaper collapsed.

 

She crawled over to a pole and leaned against it. After listening a little more carefully Hiei heard her offer her powers to him temporally if he wished to save his family but if the transfer didn't work it would kill him. The human accepted. He told her to give him her sword and she told him that her name was Rukia Kuchiki. He then told her his name was Ichigo Kurosaki. They then pieced Ichigo with Rukia's sword and were both enveloped by a blinding light before the Hollow could reach them. Hiei was forced to cover his eyes.

 

When the light dispersed Hiei looked back down and saw that the Hollow was now missing its left arm. He noticed Ichigo not to far behind it, hold a massive sword. After hearing him saw something else Ichigo charged the Hollow again. The Hollow followed suit. It tried to crush him with its right leg but it was hacked off. It then started to fall forward and Ichigo lifted his blade and slashed straight down, killing it.

 

Hiei looked down at Ichigo with a smirk.

 

“Hn. Maybe this will be interesting after all.”
