After school (Y/N) decided to hang out at Ichigo's house, since he had the day off from the Urahara shop, he would take this time to relax a bit before going on to investigate the parakeet incident.

Ichigo: I'm home. I brought (Y/N) with me

(Y/N): Good evening-

Before (Y/N) could even finish his sentence he saw both of Ichigo's sisters, Yuzu and Karin, carrying a man in a stretcher into their house clinic. He decided to make way for the sisters while Ichigo wasn't paying attention.

Yuzu:

Move, Ichigo! Out of the way!

Ichigo: Huh? What happened

Yuzu: An accident. There was a big car wreck down at the corner. A 4 car collision.

Both (Y/N) and Ichigo gave each other puzzled looks. How did something like that happen in a residential area? Just then, a voice can be heard booming through the clinic.

Isshin: So you can't take that many? Well, here's a news flash, they gotta go somewhere. We can't treat them all here, we're a small clinic. Listen, tell your boss this is a request from Isshin Kurosaki. He'll find me some hospital beds that are open, no problem. Just do it!

Isshin was having a heated discussion regarding the accident with an actual hospital but sadly, things didn't work out. Isshin furiously hung up the phone and mumbles under his breath.

Isshin: Damn stupid idiots, they wouldn't know a stethoscope from a cell phone.

Ichigo spoke up.

Ichigo: Hey dad, is there anything me and (Y/N) can do.

Isshin: No. Just assume the fetal position and stay out of the way.

(Y/N): Oof...

It did sting (Y/N) a little to know he couldn't help in some way, even though he has no medical knowledge whatsoever. Even if he wanted to use healing Kido on Chad, it would require him to split his soul from his body. An ability he hasn't learned yet, the only time he's been able to become a Shinigami was through Urahara's cane.

Just then Yuzu came in with another patient.

Yuzu: Dad, we've got this one last patient that needs treatment.

Isshin: Right. Man, this guy's as big as they come. Ichigo! (Y/N) come here and get to work.

(Y/N) and Ichigo immediately bounced up to help but were surprised at the patient's identity.

Both: Chad?

Chad: Hm?

Not only was Chad bloodied but he was still holding onto the parakeet. (Y/N) could also sense a distant feeling of a Hollow. This definitely was a red flag for (Y/N). Ichigo and (Y/N) lugged Chad into an available room.

To (Y/N) disappointment, he wasn't allowed in the room while Isshin was performing treatment on Chad. The only thing he could do is wait for Chad to make a full recovery.

(Y/N) decided to head home earlier than he would like. He wasn't really much help there so he told Ichigo to give him any updates on Chad's recovery.

As (Y/N) walked into his house, he was greeted by his bubbly younger sister.

(S/N): Yo (Y/N)! Hm? You don't look too great right now...

(Y/N): Oh... well a friend of mine got into an accident. Saw the wound for myself, and it was pretty bad...

It was rare for (S/N) to see (Y/N) look down so she knew it was pretty serious.

(S/N): Oh... Hey don't worry, I'm sure he'll make a steady recovery.

(Y/N): Y-yeah... Hey you good with eating take off tonight, not really in the mood to cook.

(S/N): Sure...

In all honesty (Y/N) just wanted to spend more time thinking the situation through. The bird itself might not be a Hollow but what if there was a chance it was leading Chad into Hollow attacks? (Y/N) made it a point to figure it out once and for all. When he gets out of school tomorrow, (Y/N) will make sure to come face to face with the bird, Human or Shinigami.

(Timeskip)

(Y/N) got ready for school and headed directly to Ichigo's house, hoping to meet with Chad before going off to school. Just as he arrived, (Y/N) saw Ichigo burst through the front door.

(Y/N): Hey hey, what's the rush?

Ichigo: Chad's missing!

Things just can't be easy, can they?

(Y/N): You think he went directly to school?

Ichigo: Not sure.

(Y/N): Let's split up. I'll check school. If he's not there, I'll help scout the town.

Ichigo: You sure? You're not one to skip school.

(Y/N): This is an emergency, Chad's our friend. If he's injured and walking around, who knows what can happen.

(Timeskip)

(Y/N) hastily barged into the classroom, catching everyone's attention.

Keigo: Yo (Y/N), what the rush dude?

(Y/N): Has anyone seen Chad?

Mizuiro: I haven't seen him today. He's usually here 10 minutes before class.

(Y/N) checked his watch and realised class was about to start.

Keigo: I doubt Chad would miss class-

(Y/N) left the class before Keigo could finish his sentence. As he left the school premises, (Y/N) called Ichigo's phone.

(Y/N): Hey Ichigo, I had no luck finding Chad at school. What about you?

Ichigo: Nothing on my end. *signs* This sucks... Keep me updated will ya?

(Y/N): Of course.

(Y/N) was growing more anxious and frustrated. What was Chad thinking, leaving unannounced and without permission from a medical expert. Chad's smart so (Y/N) wasn't sure why he was making stupid decisions.

(Y/N): Hmmm... How do you track down a guy with a bird who's possessed...

...

...

!

THAT'S IT

(Y/N) concentrated, trying to track the bird's reishi. After a few seconds, (Y/N) was able to lock on to its reishi.

(Y/N): Gotta admit, this ability is insanely useful.

(Y/N) took off in the direction of the reishi presence, only taking a few minutes to reach his destination. The moment you reached your destination you ran into Ichigo and...

(Y/N): Rukia? What's she doing here?

Ichigo: That doesn't matter right now. (Y/N) don't worry about finding Chad. I can handle it from here.

(Y/N): Why would I-

Before (Y/N) could finish he heard a voice from a distance.

???: Ichigo? (Y/N)?

Both: Karin?

Both the boys were in shock, (Y/N)'s never seen her look this sickly before and it definitely put Ichigo in a panic.

Rukia: Ichigo, you need to get Karin home now so we know she'll be safe. I'll handle them.

Both: What, are you kidding me?

Ichigo: I can't just leave you.

Rukia: Just do as I say. I know what would happen if we leave her here. You'd be worrying about her when you fight the Hollow, and that cannot happen here, no matter what.

(Y/N) ears perked up at the mention of Hollow. Rukia knew what a Hollow was?

Ichigo: You Idiot to say that in front of (Y/N)!

Rukia: I can just wipe his memories later.

(Y/N): Like hell you will! Besides, I already know what Hollows are, and took out a good amount of them too!

This statement took Rukia and Ichigo by surprise.

(Y/N): We don't have time to sit here and argue. Ichigo, take your sister home. Me and Rukia can handle the Hollow and save Chad.

Ichigo: You guys could die!

Rukia: Don't be stupid. A veteran Shinigami never takes any unnecessary chances with a Hollow. Now, go.

Now it was (Y/N)'s turned to be surprised. Rukia was a Shinigami too? He couldn't sense almost anything from her. Was she able to suppress her strength? Questions for later.

(Y/N): Make that two Shinigamis. I might still be in training but I think I can handle myself in fights pretty well.

Ichigo: Wait a minute you're a Shinigami too? Why didn't you- you know what, we can talk about this later. I'll trust you guys on this one. Don't go around getting killed!

(Y/N): Of course!

With the plan in motion (Y/N) and Rukia made their move. As the two chased down Chad, (Y/N) had to ask her ahead of time

(Y/N): Rukia, do you have any means of separating my soul from my body? I'll need it to use my Shinigami powers.

Rukia: I do!

(Y/N): Great. I still haven't figured out how to do it myself. Now let's catch up to Chad.

Rukia: Right!

(Y/N) had no problem picking up the pace but it seemed like Rukia was struggling to keep up. (Y/N): Hey! Are you doing alright over there?

Rukia: This Gigai's legs can barely run, and its heart and lungs are slowing me down.

So that's what it was. Rukia did say she was a shinigami, and (Y/N) did hear the term from Urahara while he was learning about the shop. He didn't quite understand the concept at first but now it made sense. Wait. Does that mean Rukia has been to Urahara's shop before? How come he didn't see her there? Maybe it was during his off day or maybe she came earlier in the day before his shift. Whatever the case may be, now wasn't the time to think about it.

(Y/N): Okay, I have an idea. Turn me into a Shinigami and I'll carry you on my back. I can't fly but I'm way faster and stronger in Shinigami form than I am in human form.

Rukia: Okay!!!

Rukia slipped on a glove, and fiercely pushed her palm into (Y/N)'s chest, separating his soul from his body. Without wasting time, (Y/N) picked up Rukia and made a mad dash towards Chad.

As soon as Rukia and (Y/N) caught up to Chad they felt a chill run down their spines as they heard a ghostly voice speak from behind them.

Hollow: You smell good. You smell... wonderful, delicious. Time to eat your soul!

In a moment's notice, (Y/N) avoided the Hollows ambush attempt, and created space for both him and Rukia to have stable footing.

Hollow: So you can see me clearly. That makes me curious. Just who are you two?

Without a word, both Rukia and (Y/N) tag teamed the Hollow. Rukia delivered a vicious elbow to the Hollows mask whereas (Y/N) delivered a sword wing that pushed the hollow back a few feet.



Rukia capitalized on this opportunity to cast a Kido offensive spell.

Rukia: Ruler, the mask of

blood and flesh,

all things of

the universe that fly.

That which takes...

In the name of truth

and temperance,

dig your claws into

the wall of sinless dreams!

Hado 33,

Kale Fire Crash!



Rukia aimed her palm at the Hollow generating a torrent of blue energy before shooting it directly at the Hollow's mask.It created a small explosion. Staggering the Hollow for a brief moment before the Hollow shook it off and went in for a bite. However (Y/N) came in to successfully get Rukia out of harm's way.

Hollow: I see. So that's what you are. I know that spell, it's a Shinigami's spell. So not only do I get to kill one Shinigami, but two. But your spell was so weak, it had no bite to it. Too bad.

You could see the disappointment in Rukia's face. You weren't sure why her spell didn't work but you couldn't let her get distracted by whatever the hollow was telling her.

Hollow: My, my, a tender little Shinigami who's lost her power. Mm, and you do smell so delicious. This is bringing back such wonderful memories. You see, I've already had the pleasure of devouring two other Soul Reapers who tried to help this boy pass on to the Soul Society.

(Y/N): You're a real creep, you know that? Come on Rukia, this guy doesn't know who he's up against. If he's as tough as he says he is, he would've killed us with his sneak attack.

Hollow: HA HA HA! You aren't scared of me? You're a funny one kid-

Without warning, the hollow got pounded in the concrete street from a punch by-

(Y/N): Chad!

Chad: Hey. I hit something. All right.

Rukia: He actually landed a punch on the Hollow. But how? Can he see spirits?

(Y/N): It may be a possibility

However that theory was sent out of the window as Chad continued to flail his arms in the air in an attempt to hit the hollow a second time.

Rukia: Hmm. I'm guessing no.

The Hollow got up, chuckling at the sight of Chad thrashing about the street ignorantly.

Hollow: Heh, heh, heh. It was just a lucky punch. He scared me for a second.I thought he could see me.

And in comedic timing, the hollow got decked again, this time, getting sent flying multiple feet away.

Chad: All right. I got him again.

This prompted a fit of laughter out of (Y/N).

(Y/N): Okay I can't lie, despite how serious the situation is, this is pretty funny.

Rukia: I can't believe what I'm seeing. He's knocked that Hollow down twice now. But I know there's no way he can see it, or even hear it. By sheer force of will, this human is calmly facing down an enemy whose power he cannot even imagine. It's as if he has no sense of fear at all.

(Y/N): Whatever the case may be, that just means it's a 3 on 1. With those odds, I doubt we need Ichigo for a 4 on 1.

Hollow: Damn you!

The Hollow started to sprout wyvern-like wings and took flight in desperation.

Hollow: Let's see you try and punch me now, you clueless human toad!

(Y/N): Of course I can't fly when it's convenient. Chad the monster is airborne.

Rukia: Hey, don't just stand there. Get moving! He's in the air right above you!

Chad: New girl? Are you telling me that you can see ghosts?

Rukia: There's no time to explain that now. Just get away before he strikes.

Chad: Where exactly?

Rukia: Huh? Why?

Chad: When he charges, you just tell me where he is.

Rukia: Even if I did tell you, what would you do about it?

Chad: When you've got flies, you use a fly swatter.

Meanwhile, the Hollow was deviously plotting his next attack.

Hollow: Heh heh. There are so many ways I can attack them. Shall I swoop in low like a falcon, or divebomb straight down onto their heads and tear their--huh?

In between the Hollow's monologue, Chad proceeds to RIP A TELEPHONE POLE OUT OF THE GROUND.



(Y/N): EXCUSE ME? YOU COULD DO THAT? (Y/N) was starting to believe Chad wasn't human.

Chad: Just help me get a bead on him.

Rukia: He's dead ahead. Do it. Bring it down on him now!

With a brutal swing of the telephone pole, Chad was able to bring the Hollow down back to earth and immobilise him. (Y/N) took this opportunity to finish off the Hollow for good. But before (Y/N) could finish him off, (Y/N) was tackled by a multitude of different, much smaller Hollows. Rukia and Chad were attacked by the same bunch. The Hollow got up laughing hysterically.

The Hollow looked over to (Y/N). He realised that the Shinigami wasn't hesitant to finish him off. He thought the best thing to do was to finish off (Y/N) first, followed by Chad, due to his immense strength. Rukia wasn't even a threat in his eyes.

Hollow: Looks like the tables have turned, Shinigami! HA HA HA. Now die!

However, The hollow didn't have time to bask in his victory. Chad busted through the mini hollows with ease. Rukia noticed and immediately got Chad's attention.

Rukia: Over here, Chad! Kick the air right above me!

Although the Hollow dodged the attack by taking flight, Chad was able to save Rukia and remove the hollows that were pinning her down.

Rukia: Quick, do the same thing behind you.

Chad, despite not knowing or seeing (Y/N) presence, saved him with a swift kick and the trio regrouped.

Rukia: I think I have a plan.

(Y/N): I'll take anything at this point. Grounded combat was fine but Air combat is out of my expertise.

(Mini timeskip)

Chad: Hey, new girl. If you ask me, there are some problems with this plan.

(Y/N): Yeah, this plan can easily go south.

Rukia: Don't worry. Combining your brute strength with my intelligence, this is our best chance here.

The "intelligent" plan that Rukia had come up with was to have Chad launch (Y/N) towards the flying Hollow, with Rukia giving Chad the direction of the Hollow. Chad didn't even know what he was throwing since he couldn't see (Y/N), only feeling his weight in his arms.

Chad: You must be smart. 'Cause this seems really stupid to me.

(Y/N): You and me both.

Rukia: Let me do the thinking for all of us. I'll tell you where he is, and you aim. There, at 4 o'clock.

Chad: You mean like this?

Rukia: More left. Just a little farther. No, too far, back to the right and down a little. There.

(Y/N) was mentally facepalming at the interaction, but braced himself nonetheless.

Rukia: Get ready. On my mark. Steady.

Meanwhile the Hollow gained enough distance between himself and a potential second telephone pole.

Hollow: You can't reach me all the way up here with a telephone pole, so whatever you're planning is--

Rukia: Fire!

Hollow: Huh?

The only thing the Hollow saw after that comment was a black blur rocketing in his direction. (Y/N) was preparing an aerial attack as he soared through the sky.

Hollow: I was a fool to think I could defeat you. I surrender. Kidding.

In a split instant, (Y/N) was attacked by another small hollow. It hit (Y/N) with enough force to send him back down to the ground. The Hollow then produced a ringing sound from his tongue. This prompted an explosion that caused serious damage to (Y/N). (Y/N) wasn't responding to any calls that Chad or Rukia had.

Hollow: Do you like my remote leech bombs? Diabolical, aren't they? They latch on, and when I produce a certain frequency with my tongue, they respond by detonating themselves.

Just then the Hollow revealed something that shocks the trio.

Hollow: I have someone here you might want to see.

Rukia: Huh?

The Hollow held up the parakeet cage

Rukia: The parakeet! So that's where the Hollow was before, grabbing the parakeet as hostage.

Yuichi: I'm so sorry, mister. I was trying to call for you.

Chad: That's okay.

Hollow: Ha, ha, ha. And with three leech bombs on the bird cage, you both will do what I say. Musclehead stays put, while I play tag with the Soul Reaper.

Rukia: Do as he says. Don't think for a second he won't blow up the bird. At least the chase will take him away from here, so you will be safe.

Chad: But what about you, new girl?

Rukia: Don't be concerned. I can take care of myself. I made a promise. I'll be just fine.

Chad: Good luck.

Rukia: Thanks.

(Timeskip)

Things weren't looking good for Rukia. The Hollow was having a great time tormenting her with exploding bombs, watching run for her life.

Hollow: Run, little reaper, run. How long before you get tired and get blown up? *Cackling* Of course, you could turn around and actually fight me.

Rukia immediately stopped and turned around to face the hollow.

Hollow: Huh? Done already? How boring. I didn't think you would give up so easily. Come on, run some more. It's not every day I get to chase Soul Reapers. I was having fun.

Rukia: I haven't given up.

Hollow: Huh?

Rukia: There's just no need for me to run from you anymore.

Just as Rukia said that, A figure jumped on top of the Hollow's head, making him eat concrete in the process.

Rukia: Perfect timing, Ichigo.

Ichigo: You act like you planned it this way. I thought you promised me you weren't going to screw this thing all up. And where's (Y/N)? Don't tell me kicked the bucket!

Rukia looked down, somewhat disappointed in herself.

Rukia: I got him hurt, I-I'm sorry.

Ichigo: Don't be. (Y/N) is a strong guy, I doubt he's gonna stay down too long, Besides (Y/N) wouldn't get upset at you for wanting to help anyway.

Rukia: Well now, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you actually care about me.

Ichigo: Heh. I guess I do.

Hollow: How touching. Do you plan to keep standing on my head all day? Who are you anyway?

Ichigo: Ichigo Kurosaki, age 15, substitute Shinigami. And if you really want to play some serious tag, I think it's me you ought to chase.

Hollow: Ah. Substitute Shinigami, eh? Crap. I screwed up. When the two of you split up back there, I should have gone after you.

At that moment, Rukia made Ichigo a shinigami and the fight began.

(Meanwhile)

(Y/N) slowly woke up, feeling lightheaded. He found himself in the middle of nowhere, Chad wasn't in sight so he started casting kaido on himself to heal.

(Y/N): That hurt like hell. Thank you kido. I gotta learn more kido spells. Alright, where is everyone?

(Y/N) started searching for Yuichi's presence. However he found a reishi signature much stronger nearby.

(Y/N): Is that Ichigo? Oh thank goodness he's here. Hang in there you guys, I'm on my way.

(Timeskip)

(Y/N) arrived to witness Ichigo punch a hole in the Hollow's teeth. (Y/N) found this as a huge opportunity to dash in and remove the tongue from the hollow by delivering a sudden strike.

Hollow: *agonising scream* I thought you were dead!

(Y/N): Sorry but I don't go down easy. Ichigo let's finish this!

Ichigo: Right!

In sync, both (Y/N) and Ichigo deliver a diagonal slash into the Hollow. In that moment, an enormous gate manifested out of thin air. Said gate was decorated in skeletons and chains. The gate opens up and a huge hand holding a knife stabs the Hollow, dragging him through the gate.



The scene was extremely ominous and unsettling. Rukia decided to chime in.

Rukia: Don't worry. They're the gates of the Underworld. But they're opening only for him. The Zanpakuto can only wash away sins his soul has committed as a Hollow. Those who commit terrible crimes while alive go to the Underworld.

After dragging the hollow to the Underworld, Rukia looked down to the bird cage.

(Y/N): What's wrong?

Rukia: I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. His chain of fate has been severed. There's no sign of it. Without it, there's no way I can return him to his body.

Chad: Oh, no. Yuichi.

Rukia: Don't be sad. The Soul Society is a wonderful place that's very peaceful. You'll be happy there. You'll never be hungry, and you'll never grow old. In fact, it's a much better place to live than this world.

Ichigo: So now you're suddenly an expert on life in this world.

Rukia: Wha?

Ichigo: Anyway, you're missing the point here. When you pass over, you'll finally be reunited with your mother. Maybe we can't bring her back to life, but she is on the other side waiting for you. And this time, it's really true.

Yuichi turned towards Chad.

Chad: Mister Sado? Thank you for everything you did for me. You carried me everywhere in your arms and kept me safe. And you were even brave enough to face a terrible monster, and protect me from it. Hey, don't even mention it. I guess it's time for me to go now. I don't know what else to say except thank you. All of you.

Chad: Some day, when I die and pass over too, would it be okay with you if I carried you around again?

Yuichi: Mm-hm.

Ichigo: Well then, mind if I do the honours, (Y/N)?

(Y/N): By all means

Ichigo performs the konso, sending Yuichi to the soul society and returning the bird to it's normal life.

Ichigo: Phew... now that that's over *turns towards (Y/N)* mind explaining how you're a shinigami?

(Y/N): yea yea, but before that, I have to find my body.

(Timeskip)

Ichigo, Chad, Rukia and (Y/N) pretty much missed an entire day of school. (Y/N) knew that if his dad ever found out, he wouldn't hear the end of it. However, (Y/N) couldn't say he wasn't at least proud of himself for being able to save a friend.

There's also the elephant in the room. (Y/N) and Ichigo finding out that they were both Shinigami's.

(Y/N): So we both became shinigamis on the same day? What kind of weird coincidence is this?

Ichigo: You're telling me. So what's the plan now?

(Y/N): Hm? Plan? Well I'm gonna keep training. I don't wanna go down again like I did against that Hollow. To be honest, it felt pretty pathetic.

Ichigo: Huh? I might've not been there to see you fight but considering how long you were able to keep him busy until I arrived, you must've been strong.

(Y/N): Nah, Chad did most of the work, I just made sure nobody took damage.

Ichigo gave (Y/N) a kick to the ankle.

(Y/N): Ow... why'd you do that?

Ichigo: Dumbass, give yourself more credit. Rukia told me everything. she thought you were pretty good.

(Y/N): Speaking of Rukia, where'd she go?

Ichigo: She went ahead to make sure Chad got home safely.

(Y/N): Makes sense... hey I'm gonna head home. Today's been eventful but I need my beauty sleep.

Ichigo: Sure. I'll see you tomorrow

And with that Ichigo and (Y/N) separated.

To be continued.

This is my first time writing a proper fight scene so I hope it wasn't to cringy. I did have fun writing it though.
