Amnesia

Two weeks have passed since Kuroi sealed away his inner Hollow and became able to voluntarily use it to his advantage. After escaping the warehouse and Hiyori's fury, Kuroi now sits on a bench in a park, enjoying the cool autumn day. He closes his eyes and tries to take a nap, but he hears a familiar voice.

"There he is," said Rukia.

Kuroi quickly opens his eyes and sees Ichigo and Rukia walking towards him.

"Oh. Hey guys. What brings you here on this beautiful day?" asked Kuroi.

"A Hollow is supposed to be around here and we came here to take it down, but we found you first," said Rukia.

"Where have you been for the last couple weeks?" asked Ichigo.

"Training with Shinji and his gang," said Kuroi.

"You're training with Shinji? I thought that you didn't want to train with him," said Ichigo.

"I didn't, but I needed to get stronger to defeat Aizen. Have you been training as well?" asked Kuroi.

"Uncle Aoi helped me seal my inner Hollow and I can use its power for 11 seconds," said Ichigo.

"11 seconds. I can barely use it for 7. You must be making massive gains," said Kuroi.

"Tatsuki, Orihime, Chad, Renji, Uncle Aoi, and I have been training together for the past two weeks. We could become even stronger if you came," said Ichigo.

"I need to train by myself. I can no longer rely on others to save my ass," said Kuroi.

"I would love to sit here and chat, but we have a Hollow to find," said Rukia.

"It will probably pop up in a few seconds," said Ichigo.

A little girl runs past the three soul reapers. Kuroi notices the chain of fate on the girl's stomach.

"That girl is a spirit. The Hollow must be chasing after her," said Kuroi.

Right on time, the Hollow chasing the girl dashes past the three soul reapers.

"Let's go hunt us a Hollow," said Rukia.

Rukia, Kuroi, and Ichigo start to chase after the Hollow. Desperate to munch on the little girl, the Hollow starts to destroy all the objects in its path, creating a cloud of dust. Kuroi and Ichigo pull out their Substitute Soul Reaper badges and tap them on their chests. Their souls escape their bodies and they continue to run after the Hollow. Rukia pops a soul candy in her mouth and escapes her gigai. Kuroi and Ichigo jump and cut an arm off of the Hollow. The Hollow tries to get up but can't, so it uses its legs to jump through the trees and try to escape.

"It's escaping," said Rukia.

"Not on our watch," said Kuroi.

Ichigo proceeds to jump through the trees while Kuroi flash steps through the crowd. Ichigo catches up to the Hollow and cuts off its tail. The Hollow screams in pain and lands on the ground in front of Kuroi.

"Nighty night, Hollow," said Kuroi.

Kuroi holds his blade up and brings it down on the Hollow's mask. The Hollow starts to slowly disintegrate. He turns his head and sees Rukia and Ichigo standing next to the spirit girl. He walks up to them and kneels in front of the girl.

"It's time for you to go to the Soul Society," said Kuroi.

"Don't worry. It's a cool place," said Ichigo.

"None of those monsters will chase you there," said Rukia.

"But-," said the girl.

"I learned that allowing a spirit to stay in the living world post their death is bad. Allowing my friend to stay here got her eaten by one of those monsters. I don't want that happening to you. I won't allow you to not rest in peace," said Kuroi.

Kuroi taps the girl's forehead with his Zanpakuto and a kanji appears on it. A purple portal appears under her and she falls through it.

"Seishin's death still affects you. I thought that you would have gotten over it by now," said Ichigo.

"Seishin's death was my greatest failure. I will never forget what happened to her," said Kuroi.

"We haven't hung out in such a long time. There's a new cafe that opened a few blocks from here. We should grab some grub and talk," said Ichigo.

"Sure, but we have to get back to our bodies first. We can't go to a cafe if they can't see us," said Rukia.

The three soul reapers stroll through the park until they find Rukia's body currency occupied by Chappy. Rukia enters her gigai.

"You guys use your combat passes too much," said Rukia.

"What do you mean?" asked Kuroi.

"Every time you guys use your badges, you leave your bodies in random places and cause a commotion. Just look at what you guys did," said Rukia.

Kuroi and Ichigo peek around the corner and see their bodies on stretchers.

"There's no pulse! He's going into cardiac arrest!" exclaimed the paramedic.

"My body!" exclaimed the young soul reapers.

Kuroi and Ichigo run towards their bodies and hop into them. They open their eyes and surprise the paramedics.

"Are you guys ok?" asked the paramedic.

"We're fine, so we'll just go," said Kuroi.

Kuroi and Ichigo try to get up, but the paramedics grab them.

"What the hell? Let us go!" said Ichigo.

"We can't. We have to check you guys out and make sure you're fine," said a paramedic.

"We're fine!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"We don't know that yet, so stop moving," said the paramedic.

"I'm tired of having to save you guys," said Rukia.

Rukia pulls out a gadget. She clicks it and a bright light covers the area. The gadget shoots out a pink gas. The three soul reapers quickly run away from the gas and exit the park. Rukia's phone beeps and she sees a bunch of white things on the screen.

"What's going on?" asked Rukia.

"What is it? Is there another Hollow?" asked Kuroi.

"No, but there are some white things on my screen. Do you know what they are?" said Rukia.

"Maybe they're Hollows or maybe Arrancars," said Kuroi.

Before they can continue questioning the white things, they sense a large spiritual pressure.

"What is this spiritual pressure?" asked Ichigo.

"I never sensed this before, but it's coming from the train station. Let's go," said Kuroi.

The three soul reapers run through the town, searching for the train station. They reach the train station and see a bunch of white spirits walking around the area.

"What are these things?" asked Ichigo.

"It seems that we're the only ones that can see them, so they have to be some kind of spirit," said Kuroi.

"We have to deal with them," said Rukia.

"How do we do that?" asked Kuroi.

"Find out how to," said Rukia.

Rukia pops a soul candy and escapes her gigai. Ichigo tries to grab his combat pass, but Rukia grabs it out of his hand.

"What are you doing?" asked Ichigo.

Rukia shoves Kon in his face.

"Use Kon. You don't want to end up on a stretcher again, do you?" said Rukia.

"Fine," said Ichigo.

Ichigo pulls the mod soul out of the stuffed animal and places it in his mouth. His soul is ripped out of his body as Kon starts to occupy his body. Kuroi just grabs his badge and taps it on his chest. His soul escapes his body.

"So, what do we do?" asked Ichigo.

"Ichigo, try to do a console on one of them," said Rukia.

"Ok," said Ichigo.

Ichigo walks up to one of the white spirits and tries to console it, but nothing happens.

"Consoling doesn't work," said Ichigo.

"Is there any other way we can deal with them?" asked Kuroi.

"I'm trying to contact the Soul Society, but all I get is interference. Something has to be going on," said Rukia.

A large gust of wind hits the train station. When the gust of wind hits the spirits, the white spirits stop wandering around and start walking towards the three soul reapers. Ichigo swipes at the white spirits with his Zanpakuto and makes his way back to Rukia and Kuroi.

"What was that gust of wind?" asked Ichigo.

"I don't know, but it made the spirits more aggressive," said Kuroi.

Rukia points at a female soul reaper cutting down the white spirits with ease.

"I think that she may be the cause of it," said Rukia.

The female soul reaper jumps over the three soul reapers and starts to cut down more white spirits.

"Who are you?" asked Kuroi.

The female soul reaper doesn't respond and starts to float in the air thanks to a twister appearing under her lower body.

"She's going to release her Zanpakuto," said Rukia.

"We can't allow her to do that. We don't know what these white spirits are and she's just destroying them. If she uses her Shikai, she will eradicate them and we will never find out what they are," said Ichigo.

"I got her," said Kuroi.

Kuroi jumps up and tries to grab the girl.

"Bring them to the twilight-," said the female soul reaper.

Before the female soul reaper's blade can enter its Shikai state, Kuroi grabs it.

"You can't use your Shikai. These white spirits aren't Hollows, so stop killing them," said Kuroi.

"Back off, you jerk," said the female soul reaper.

"Huh?" asked Kuroi.

The female soul reaper steps on Kuroi's face, causing him to fall to the ground. She starts to spin in the air.

"Bring them to the twilight, Mirokumaru!" exclaimed the female soul reaper.

The soul reaper's Zanpakuto turns into a pewter staff. She starts to wave it like a wand. A large twister forms where she waves the staff and she easily defeats many white spirits. The white spirits start escaping to prevent themselves from being swallowed up by the twister, but they end up getting sucked up anyway. The three other soul reapers are shocked by the display of power.

"They're all gone," said Kuroi.

"Any idea how she did that?" asked Rukia.

"Not a clue," Ichigo.

"Yes! That was so cool! I feel so good!" exclaimed the female soul reaper.

The three soul reapers turn around and see the female soul reaper now dressed in regular school clothing. The happy expression on her face becomes one of annoyance once she sees the three soul reapers.

"Oh. It's the jerk," said the female soul reaper.

"How did you change into your gigai so fast?" asked Kuroi.

"I don't know,' said the female soul reaper.

"How do you not know?" asked Kuroi.

"I just don't know," said the female soul reaper.

"Who are you?" asked Kuroi.

"I'm a soul reaper," said the female soul reaper.

"I already know that. Tell me something that can help me identify you," said Kuroi.

"It's usually custom for you to introduce yourself first," said the female soul reaper.

"My name's Kuroi Hono," said Kuroi.

"I'm Senna. Later," said Senna.

"You're not going anywhere until you tell us why you did that," said Kuroi.

"It's my job," said Senna.

"Your job is to take down Hollows. Those white spirits weren't Hollows, so what were they?" said Kuroi.

Senna doesn't respond and gasps. She walks to the store's window and looks inside it.

"I knew that yellow just wasn't my color," said Senna.

"There's no time to window shop. I'm not done asking questions," said Kuroi.

"Your name is Kuroi, right?" asked Senna.

"Yeah," said Kuroi.

"I think that you have bigger problems back there," said Senna.

Kuroi and Ichigo turn around and see people circling his and Ichigo's bodies.

"Not again!" exclaimed Ichigo.

Ichigo runs to his body. Senna tries to sneak away, but Kuroi grabs her hand.

"Hey!" exclaimed Senna.

"You're not getting away from me. I still have some questions to ask you," said Kuroi.

Kuroi quickly walks over to his body and enters it. The quick reawakening of the seemingly two unconscious boys surprises the small crowd. The two boys quickly get up. Kuroi grabs Senna's hand and starts to walk away from the crowd.

"Get to talking," said Kuroi.

Senna kicks Kuroi in the shin and starts to run.

"Oww!" exclaimed Kuroi.

"Catch me if you can!" exclaimed Senna.

"Let's get her," said Kuroi angrily.

The three soul reapers commence their chase on the mysterious girl. Every time that they get close, Senna finds a way to escape. They chase after her for a whopping hour until she finally stops.

"Look! It's a Ferris Wheel. I always wanted to ride one of these," said Senna.

"I don't care. What squad are you in?" said Rukia exhaustedly.

"I can never remember the small details. I know that I belong to one of those," said Senna.

"You know how to use a Zanpakuto and how to release it. Only a soul reaper would know how to do that. You have to belong to a squad. Every soul reaper belongs to a squad. How can you not remember that?" said Rukia.

Senna raises her hand.

"Question, please! Why are you here?" said Senna.

"I'm here because-," said Rukia.

Rukia stops talking when Senna skips away from them.

"Please don't run. I don't think my heart can take another marathon run," said Kuroi.

"I just forgot. Why is it important for me to remember that stuff anyway?" said Senna.

"Can you at least tell us what those things were?" asked Ichigo.

"I don't have the slightest idea. I just was drawn to take them down. I guess it was just instinct. Is that what you call it?" said Senna.

"What is wrong with that girl? She's more childish than Seishin," said Kuroi.

"Ichigo, Kuroi, I need to return to the Soul Society. I'm having trouble contacting them. Plus, I need to alert them about this phenomenon. See you guys later," said Rukia.

Rukia walks away.

"So, we're her babysitters now," said Ichigo.

"I can watch over her. You can just do my soul reaper duties for me," said Kuroi.

"Rukia told both of us to look after her," said Ichigo.

"It's my responsibility as Karakura Town's primary defender to investigate suspicious people. I'll call you if I need help. Plus, you left Kon back at the train station," said Kuroi.

"What! Why didn't you tell me this!" exclaimed Ichigo.

"You didn't ask," said Kuroi.

Ichigo angrily turns around and starts to run to collect the perverted mod soul.

"Now, Senna. Let's finish our con-," said Kuroi.

Kuroi's mouth drops when he sees that the girl has vanished.

"I hate my job," said Kuroi.
