Blinded By Fame

Three days have passed since Ichigo, Kuroi, and Rukia defeated the infamous Grand Fisher. The death of this dastardly Hollow has hopefully allowed Masaki Kurosaki to finally rest in peace. Now, Kuroi walks into his classroom and sees Orihime standing in front of the door with her arms crossed like the letter x.

"Bohahahaha!" exclaimed Orihime.

Kuroi doesn't respond because he's just annoyed.

"That was a weak reaction, Kuroi. Could it be that you don't know what it is?" said Orihime.

"I know. I just find it annoying," said Kuroi.

"I find it fun," said Orihime.

"Good for you I guess," said Kuroi.

Kuroi walks to his seat and sits down. Keigo and Mizuiro walk up to him and do the same pose.

"Bohahahaha!" exclaimed Mizuiro and Keigo.

"Why are you guys doing that too?" asked Kuroi.

"Didn't you hear that there was going to be a live broadcast of Ghost Bust in this town tomorrow?" asked Keigo.

"I did and I'm not going," said Kuroi.

"What do you mean you're not going? This may be the only time that we can see Don Kanonji in person," said Keigo.

"Why would I want to see that clown in person? He's already annoying enough on tv," said Kuroi.

"He's not annoying. He's special," said Keigo.

"Whatever you say," said Kuroi.

"You're the only one that isn't coming. Even Chad is going," said Keigo.

Kuroi turns his head and sees Chad standing behind him, doing the same pose.

"I'm surprised that you got Chad to go, but that doesn't change my mind," said Kuroi.

"If you don't go, you'll be known as the guy who didn't see the show," said Keigo.

"Very creative, but I'm still not going," said Kuroi.

"I went to all that trouble to invite Rukia, too!" exclaimed Keigo.

"How's it going, Kuroi?" asked Rukia.

"Why would I care? I don't care who you invite. I refuse to go," said Kuroi.

"Well, I guess that you don't want these spicy pictures," said Keigo.

"Spicy pictures?" asked Kuroi.

"I'm kind of a locker room detective and I found some hot stuff," said Keigo.

"Wait. You snuck into the girl's locker room and took pictures," said Kuroi.

"I didn't sneak in. I placed a hidden camera," said Keigo.

"That's a breach of privacy," said Kuroi.

"Who cares? We would've seen everything in a few years anyway," said Keigo.

"This isn't right. You can't just-," said Kuroi.

"I got footage of Orihime and Tatsuki," said Keigo.

"How much do you want?" asked Kuroi.

"It's free," said Keigo.

"Free? There's a catch, right?" asked Kuroi.

"All you have to do to earn this tape of voluptuous women is to come to see Ghost Bust with us," said Keigo.

"Wait. You won't give me the tape unless I go see that stupid show with you," said Kuroi.

"That's right," said Keigo.

"I hate that show, but I'll need to put my pride to the side. I need to see those mommy milkers," thought Kuroi.

"Have you come to your decision?" asked Keigo.

"Fine. I'll go," said Kuroi.

"Great. We can now bohahahaha together!" said Keigo.

"Yeah. Whatever," said Kuroi.

Kuroi dreads the day of the broadcast as it creeps closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, he is now standing outside of the abandoned hospital.

"Who could believe that a stubborn person like me could be swayed by wet breasts?" thought Kuroi.

Kuroi walks towards the large group of townsfolk standing in front of the abandoned hospital.

"You came!" exclaimed Keigo and Mizuiro.

"Shut up before I help you meet Bruce Lee," said Kuroi.

"Our lips are sealed," said Mizuiro.

"Kuroi," said Orihime.

Kuroi turns his head and sees Orihime standing behind him.

"What is it, Orihime?" asked Kuroi.

"I'm sorry about the other day. Tatsuki just told me that you didn't like this type of stuff. I didn't know," said Orihime.

"You don't have to apologize. I don't care. It's annoying, but I have dealt with stuff that's even more annoying," said Kuroi.

"But, you came," said Orihime.

"I hate reality tv shows, but everyone else was going, so I couldn't not come. I guess I just wanted to hang out with you guys," said Kuroi.

"That's nice," said Orihime.

"I'm a nice guy after all," said Kuroi.

Orihime smiles.

"I know," said Orihime.

Kuroi puts his head down and walks away. He decides to stand behind the crowd of people.

"If the show staff sees this many people, they will think that we get no entertainment here. These people are pathetic," thought Kuroi.

"What's wrong? You seem down, Kuroi!" said Rukia.

Kuroi turns his head and sees Rukia doing the same pose that everyone else is doing. Ichigo is also there, but it's obvious that he wants to go home.

"Bohahahaha!" exclaimed Rukia.

"You're doing it as well? I thought this night couldn't get more annoying than it already is," said Kuroi.

"Why are you even here? You hate this stuff," said Ichigo.

"I'm on a business trip. I need to make sure that this Kanonji guy doesn't accidentally turn a spirit into a Hollow," said Kuroi.

"You focus on work too much. You need to relax sometimes," said Rukia.

"That's ironic coming from you," said Kuroi.

"What is this festival about anyways?" asked Rukia.

"Wait. You came here, but you don't know what's going on. Your acting skills are top-notch, but the gears in your head need a little oil," said Kuroi.

"Shut up," said Rukia.

A few minutes pass and nothing happens.

"When will this thing start?" asked Ichigo.

"Shut up and listen," said Kuroi.

A loud cry can be heard from the abandoned hospital.

"What's this voice?" asked Ichigo.

"It's the voice of a spirit becoming a Hollow. We should deal with him before the show starts. We don't want any of these people to die do we?" said Kuroi.

"Where's the spirit?" asked Ichigo.

"On the roof," said Rukia.

Ichigo looks up and sees a male spirit with a hole in his chest and a chain coming out of it.

"It doesn't look like a threat," said Ichigo.

"The spirit may not be a threat right now, but he has a chain of fate. All spirits have a chain of fate, but some spirits have chains of fates that are connected to a certain person or place. Those spirits are called earthbound spirits. Something must have happened at this hospital to make him stay here for so long," said Rukia.

"This hospital is mine and I won't hand it over to anyone! You guys can't come in unless you pay cash! If you don't, I'll kill ya!" exclaimed the earthbound spirit.

"How does he expect to get paid if he's dead?" asked Ichigo.

Kuroi shrugs.

"Dead people are weird," said Kuroi.

"I should have inherited this place from my father! I would have been rolling in cash but no! My retarded dad wanted to give it to my younger brother!" exclaimed the earthbound spirit.

"He sounds like a very greedy person," said Rukia.

"I'll go deal with him. I can't let him kill someone over a grudge," said Kuroi.

"This broadcast will start in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" exclaimed the reporter.

"It looks like the thing is about to start," said Rukia.

"The thing? There's an angry spirit that's threatening to kill people and you're worried about this stupid show," said Kuroi.

"Relax. The spirit won't turn into a Hollow tonight. You can deal with it tomorrow," said Rukia.

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight's "Ghost Bust" is entitled the "Emergency Live Broadcast Special" and we have come to the abandoned hospital in Karakura Town. They say at night, the cry of a vengeful spirit can be heard and prevents the citizens from getting anywhere near. Surely, that man will cook something up for us tonight! The man who will deal with this spirit will be the charismatic medium, Mr. Don Kanoji!" said the reporter.

Everyone looks up and sees Don Kanonji jump out of a helicopter.

"Here he comes!" exclaimed a fan.

"How's it going, babies! Spirits are always with you! Bohahahaha!" exclaimed Don Kanonji.

Don Kanonji releases his parachute and floats to the ground. He does his famous pose on the way to the ground. The crowd mimics their idol.

"So, he's the main star of the festival! What a swanky way to make an entrance! I hate to say it, but it's superb!" exclaimed Rukia.

"It smells like bad spirits!" exclaimed Don Kanonji.

"Bad spirits!" exclaimed the crowd.

"I hate being here," said Kuroi.

"You may hate being here, but at least you won't have to work. Unless that Kanonji guy messes with his chain of fate, we should be-," said Rukia.

"What is he doing?" asked Ichigo.

"He's messing with the chain of fate. At this rate, the spirit will become a Hollow in minutes. Ichigo, we have to stop this idiot," said Kuroi.

"Ok," said Ichigo.

Ichigo and Kuroi jump over the fence separating Kanonji from his fans. They get nowhere before multiple security guards jump on top of them.

"Somehow, two excited young men jumped into the main area, but they've been stopped by security," said the reporter.

"Let us go! If you don't, the spirit will become a Hollow and eat everybody!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Shut up!" exclaimed a security guard.

"Guys, come over here! I'll change you guys into soul reapers!" exclaimed Rukia.

"Wait, don't-," said Kuroi.

"Seize her!" exclaimed another security guard.

Multiple security guards jump on Rukia.

"Get off me!" exclaimed Rukia.

"Be quiet!" said the security guard.

"I don't want to have to do this, but you hounds leave me no choice. Hado Number Four: Byakurai," said Kuroi.

A beam of electricity comes out of Kuroi's fingers and electrocutes the security guards on top of him. The security guards fall to the ground unconscious. Kuroi runs towards Don Kanonji.

"Stop! You're going to-" said Kuroi.

Before Kuroi can reach Kanonji, the spirit explodes. The entire area is covered by light. A minute passes before the light disappears.

"Is it gone?" asked Don Kanonji.

"Why are you asking me? You're the medium," said Kuroi.

"So, it's gone?" asked Don Kanonji.

"No. It's up there," said Kuroi.

Don Kanonji points at the now transformed Hollow on the roof of the abandoned hospital.

"What is that monster?" asked Don Kanonji.

"It's called a Hollow. You can deal with it," said Kuroi.

"Huh!" exclaimed Don Kanonji.

"Your stupidity caused the spirit to become a Hollow, so it's your problem," said Kuroi.

"I don't know how to deal with this thing," said Don Kanonji.

"You're such an experienced ghost hunter that I thought that you could deal with this by yourself," said Kuroi.

"Stop being petty and take down the Hollow!" exclaimed Rukia.

Kuroi turns around and sees Rukia running up to him. She puts on the Gokon Tekko and rips out Kuroi's soul.

"I thought that I would be off tonight," said Kuroi.

"Stuff happened. Now stop complaining," said Rukia.

"Fine," said Kuroi.

Kuroi jumps up and slices the Hollow's head in half and it slowly disintegrates. Kuroi lands softly on the ground.

"Did you defeat it?" asked Don Kanonji.

Kuroi starts to walk away.

"Yeah and I expect royalties," said Kuroi.

"How can I give you royalties if I don't even know your name?" asked Don Kanonji.

"The name's Kuroi Hono. You'll be able to find me," said Kuroi.

Kuroi stops walking and turns to look at Kanonji.

"If this ever happens again, I will kill you. I won't allow your dumbass to get all of these people killed," said Kuroi.

"Ok. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again," said Don Kanonji scaredly.

"Yeah. It better not," said Kuroi.
