Before The Story
Alright before the story starts I want to mention something I forgot to mention in the 'Quick Note Before the Story' chapter. After the first time you have sex, it will happen more and more but once more of the harem builds, then it will become a part of the story. Not every chapter or anything, unlike others cough cough, just something that happens more often. Basically, what if High School DxD was a borderline hentai series, or straight up hentai in this case..... sorta, which we all know that it would've happened if Issei wasnt such a pussy.
* I also want to mention that the reason I made you human is because there's not many dxd stories were the reader is a human, like many dragon ball stories with the reader always being a Saiyan. Also if your wandering how I'll deal with the whole devil's live longer than humans thing, don't worry, I have a plan for that.

I'm a.... a Devil?!
A lot has happened to Izumi is such a short period of time. Not only did she finally experience her first date but was also killed by her date. Then, when she asked around, no one seems to remember Yuuma at all. Not just that, but her number on her phone is gone and all the pictures they took together. It all just felt like a dream to her, was any of it even real? How can someone's existence just disappear? Well, she began to mentally challenge these thoughts when she started to notice strange things happening around her. Like being able to see in the dark and........GHOSTS?! Wait wait wait, ghosts aren't real right? Trying to ignore it all, she went with her 2 friends to watch some porn together. This wasnt to get her in the mood or anything as they've given up on doing that after many failed attempts of doing just that and her always turning them down. Instead, they just bond over their shared interested on the subject. It's not like shes not interested, or that it doesnt make her horny, cause it does, she just isnt interested in them sexually or romantically. However, bake to the porn, she just couldnt focus on it. Her mind kept going back to Yuuma and all the strange things shes been seeing and feeling lately. Her date with Yuuma just felt so real but not at the same time. She overheard one of them mentioning turning the lights off. She barely noticed one of them doing it, but she noticed it was just as bright as it was a second ago. She was confused and asked if they really turned off the lights, which they did.
Unable to focus on the hot steamy porn in front of her, which was her favorite one, she excused herself and left their home. As she was walking away, a million thoughts and questions raced through her mind all at once. Was it all really? Was it all just a dream? If it all was somehow real, then what happened after she lost consciousness, she had a hole in her gut? She had just too many questions with no answer in sight. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didnt even noticed she walked towards the same fountain Yuuma killed her at. However, she couldnt fully process this fact as a man wearing a large trench coat and top hat showed up. She thought he might be one of those nighttime predators or flashers she heard about as thats what they typically wear.
This man spoke in a rough but calm voice. As he spoke, he mocked some person named Raynare, saying how pathetic she was for not completely such a simple task and as usual, he has to clean up after that slut (his words). She isnt sure why but despite not knowing who this person is, tho it was starting to dawn on her that this person might be Yuuma, she started to get annoyed but then missed at the way he said 'slut'. He said it in a lustful, creepy and insulting way that it just pissed her off. It surprised her how pissed she was getting on behalf of someone who tried to kill her but she couldnt think of this any further as the man formed a spear of light. On pure instinct, she jumped back but much further away than a normal human should be able to, as she was now on the other side of the fountain. Other than that, the craziest part of this to her was the fact that she didnt feel winded at all. In fact, it felt rather easy. Now with adrenaline in full swing, she turned around and ran for her life, but before she could get too far, she was literally stabbed in the back. Once again, she found herself on the ground but this time, she was face first. She wasnt sure what hurt worse, the fact she was literally stabbed in the back, or the crushing force on her rather large breasts going on right now. She found enough strength to lift up her upper body off the ground and begin to crawl away. However, all of her strength left her. It hurt so much, why does it hurt worse now than it did before? Not only was it burning, but it felt like it was draining her strength away.
Like last time, she felt her consciousness beginning to slip away, but then 3 girls showed up in front of her. They came out of some kind of strange glowing circle thing. The man tried to remain calm, but he was clearly shocked by the fact who showed up.

After recognizing who they are and how out matched he was, he deiced cleaning up his comrades mess wasnt worth his life, so he decided to flee, but before he does. He told the red-headed girl to keep a leash on her pets, otherwise something bad might happen to them. With him now gone, and the adrenaline finally out of her system, Izumi finally passes out.
As she begins to wake up, it's clear some time has passed as it's now day time when it all happened at night. She began to get her bearing by looking around with her eyes, she recognizes that shes in her own room. She couldnt help but be confused by this fact as she was outside the last time, was it all a dream? This is, until she heard someone speak from beside her.

???: "Finally awake I see."
Izumi: looks to her side to see Rias laying beside her in her underwear, "holy boobies. Those curves, that sweat ass, those large boobs and that beautiful red hair. IT'S RIAS!!!/not that I'm complaining or anything but why are you in my room right now?"
Rias: "well, you were dealt a heavy blow after all. I did try to use some first aid on you to keep you alive, but my healing abilities are that good. Oh, dont worry tho, your totally ok. just some minor scaring that will heal over time. You have a surprisingly tough body."
Izumi: look down at her own body and notices shes in her underwear too, "aww, wish we were naked together./wait..... does that mean last night actually happened?"
Rias: giggle, "oh yes it did," she gets up and look Izumi right in the eyes, causing her to blush, "and from now on, you belong to me as my faithful servant. Thats right, you belong to a Devil now."
Izumi: blinks a few times, "........eh?"

[School Rooftop]
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEZDMl44yn
We now see on the school roof, the typically meeting spoke for Y/n and her 2 only friends, Ichika and Orihime. However, this time, we can see 6 other students this time, 5 of which were on the floor groaning in pain. Then we see the 6ths student leaning on the fence while Y/n was standing in front of him. When we get a closer look, we can't see the 6th student is pissed and ready to fight the H/c Haired Devil. This misguided student goes for a punch at the boy but all he does was sigh in annoyance, while also putting his hands in his pockets. Before the punch could even land, Y/n easily dodges it and kicks his so called 'opponent' hard in the gut. This had enough force to make him hit the fence hard and even bounce off of it but, before this student could do anything more, Y/n plants his foot on his chest and leaves it there.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunRBhgllPS
Y/n: "geeez. Just how many times do I have to do this before you morons learn your lesson. Its getting boring. You're all just too easy."
Student: "then just stop and back off already! We're not harming anyone. So whats the problem?"
Y/n: he just lets out a big sigh, "why can't these morons understand basic common sense? Just because this is a former all-girls school, doesnt mean the rules dont apply to them./you're stealing their underwear from the locker room, while theyre in the gym or during their swim club activities. And last I check, theft, no matter how small, is still a fucking crime fuck nuts." he then lowers his leg but then hard kicks him to the side of the head, knocking him out, "be lucky i dont report you to the cops. Actually, you all should be lucky, but I'm seriously reconsidering that fact." he then looks at the other knocked out students, "seriously, this is getting old. Maybe I should go raid some minor gang's base or a Yakuzas base. At least I could have some fun then-huh?"

As the boy looked down to see the courtyard of the school, he saw something utterly shocking to see.
* but replace Issei with Izumi
-is that Izumi, the huge pervert, with Rias? Of all people? She is someone who's noted to be high class and proper. She's even called one of the school's top beauties. So what's someone like her doing with a huge pervert like Izumi? As the boy was lost in his thoughts and confusion, Rias looked up at him, almost as if she could tell he was looking at her. When she saw him, she formed a small smile and winked at him before continuing to walk towards the school's entrance, with Izumi not far behind her. When he saw her wink at him, he blushed, but his attention was drawn elsewhere when he heard 2 voices behind him, calling out to him.

???1: "umm, Y/n. W-we made this for you."
???2: "p-please accept it."
Y/n: "huh?" turns around and sees who was talking to him, "oh, it's you Murayama and Katase."
Both girls had their arms outstretched and bend over, as if they were presenting him something. They each had a bento in their hands, each trying to hide their blushes from the boy. Now who are they, you might ask? Well, these 2 are Murayama and Katase, members of the Kendo club and the secret creators of another small club that very few actually know about. It's called 'The H/n Haired Devil Fan Club'. Unlike many of the students here, the pair realized what he was actually doing. This led them to develop crushes on him, which, intern, led them to create the new club.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipPx9p5U5G
Y/n: "wait, did you 2 make these for me?"
Murayama: lifts her head up just enough to look at him, "y-yes, we did. We know you don't make your own lunches, which is why Orihime normally makes yours for you, but we noticed she was here and wanted to give it a try ourselves."
Katase: "so, will you please accept them?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZXcxvRLW
The boy then looks around, but then focuses on their hands. When he looked, he noticed both had band-aids on some of their fingers. He then looks at their pleading faces and smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92hBhOa7a0
Y/n: "sure, I don't see why not."
Murayama and Katase: both straightened up and wore big bright smiles on their faces, "yay!"
Y/n: "besides, they both looked like they worked hard to make them. It would be criminal to not accept them. I'm sure Orihime would understand."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXAYEHJlSA
We now see the trio see the trio sitting on the bench, one usually used by Y/n, Ichika, and Orihime. He starts to eat from one of the bentos that the 2 girls made him and smiles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5Lt1IwAe
Y/n: "wow, it's pretty good."
Murayama: her face lights up, "really?"
Katase: breathes a sigh of relief while placing her hand where her heart is, "oh, thank goodness."
Y/n: he then puts the chopsticks on top of the bento box and moves it to the side, "so tell me something girls." they look at him in confusion, "why are the 2 of you scared of me like the rest? Why would 2 pretty girls, like yourselves, even bother with a brute like me?"
Murayama and Katase: both then blush almost as red as an apple, "he called us pretty!"
Murayama: "well, it's not like we weren't scared of you, but we realized you aren't a bad guy, despite how rough you look."
Katase: "we realized what you were really doing. Protecting us from those perverted bastards. So giving you a bento is the least we can do./and hopefully something more personal to a girl one day."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJImDUljXXV
The pair then looked at each other and nod, almost as if they knew what the other was thinking and made some kind of silent agreement towards each other, but this just leaves the boy confused at what's even happening.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngSXkVIxpm
Murayama: "besides, if someone like Orihime, Kuoh's Sweat Heart, is spending time with you. Then that means you can't be a bad guy."
Y/n: "fair point."
Katase: looks at her watch, "looks like we got to go, class is going to start."
Y/n: "well, see yah."
Murayama and Katase: "bye Y/n!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemoiVGrDeQ
The pair of girls wave to him as they enter the rooftop staircase enclosure. With them now gone, the boy sits there in silence until-
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3gwcF2bM
Y/n: "hey morons, I know you're awake." this causes them to flinch, "you can go now. Your punishment is over." they don't move, causing him to sigh, "well, whatever. I'm leaving, so you better be gone when I get back." he was just about to leave but, "oh, and remember what I can do to you already. This shit is getting old fast."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxqRZcaPrc
And with that the boy finally leaves them alone, causing them all to breathe a sigh of relief, but the boy was lost in his thoughts about what he saw earlier. Why was Rias hanging around Izumi, of all people?

Unexpected Guest
Some time has passed since everyone saw Rias with Izumi and in that time, a boy name Kiba came to Izumis class to pick her up. Course this confused the rest of the students and begged him not to, as he'll get infected with her perversion. Kiba is a popular boy who all the girls are in love with but as Izumi followed him to where ever he was taking her, she couldn't help but feel like something was off about him and..... he weirdly smelt good. Almost like he has a feminine scent, but that cant be right......... right? Anyways, they finally reached their destination, the abandoned building. Inside was Rias, Akeno, and Koneko. After closing the door, Rias began to explain everything, including the fact that they are all Devils, now including her.
She wasn't just told about what she is now and about Devils but also of the Angels and Fallen angels as well. They also tell her that Yuuma was also a Fallen as well, that she even tried to erase her existence from everyone who knew her human disguise. They told her that Yuumas goal was to kill Izumi because they felt she was a threat to the Fallen because of the power that rests within her. A power they don't know what it is yet or anything about. They explained that the power she has is called a Sacred Gear, then going into detail what that is and about them, but they don't know what hers is yet. So, they then try to help her unlock it, but it didn't work at all. So in the meantime, they tell her about the deals they make with humans, but before they could send her off to her first deal, a knock could be heard.

Rias: "huh? Now who could that be at this hour? Come in!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY4HylxuKG
Once she said that, the door opens and a short person walked in. she wore what's known as a Shihakushō. She has light colored skin, purple eyes, and short black hair, but on her hip was a katana.
* Obviously without the badge, as she wasn't a lieutenant yet.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcReoqarwx
Akeno: "ara. What's a Soul Reaper doing here?"
Rias: she then folds her arms under her breasts and leans back on her chair, "now that's what I wanna know. It's not very common for you Soul Reapers to show yourselves to us Devils."
???: "because it's usually not necessary for us to interact with each other as we do not get in each other's way, but current circumstance require me to do so now. But first, my name is Rukia Kuchiki, and I've been tasked with guarding this town and its people from any possible threat that could befall its people."
Rias: "oh? What happened to the last Soul Reaper who wasn't good at his job? The weird afro man."
Rukia: "he was reassigned to another post that better fit him."
Rias: "I see. Well that's good. The man always gave me weird vibes, but now that's out of the way," she then interlocks her fingers, rests her elbows on her desk and rests her head on top of her hands, "onto important matters. So what could be so important that a Soul Reaper would reveal herself to a Devil?"
Izumi: leans over and whispers to Koneko, "so...... what's a Soul Reaper?"
Koneko: side eyes her, "they're just like us, beings of the supernatural, but they exist in a place called the Soul Society where most human souls go."
Izumi: raises an eyebrow, "I thought that's what heaven is for?"
Kiba: "that's only half correct. The Soul Society is a place for those waiting to be reborn or have great potential that was wasted while they were alive. So they live out their afterlives, waiting to either be reborn into the mortal realm or become a Soul Reaper. Who's job is to keep balance between our different dimensions and to help souls pass on. So a soul either goes to the Soul Society to be reborn or to become balance keepers, or go to heaven or hell."
Izumi: "oh."
Koneko: "you didn't understand any of that, did you?"
Izumi: "nope." causing the pair to let out a defeated sigh.
Rukia: "the truth is...... Hollow activity has been increasing over the last few weeks."
Rias: "I see. Well, I have noticed an increase in their activity as of late. I was just hoping it was one of those spikes that happen from time to time, but if the Soul Society is getting involved. Then that means this is more serious than I thought."
Rukia: "it is. we're not sure what's causing this increase as all we know is they've become more active........ and they're being drawn to this town. What could be drawing them in is something we don't know yet, but it's clearly something they want. To counter this, I've been sent to take care of any Hollow that may appear, how I see fit. What we find odd is normally the presence of a Devil, especially with how many there are in this town alone, is enough to ward them off. Meaning-"
Rias: "whatever they want is greater than their survival instincts." Rukia nods, "that's not a good sign at all, but why tell me?"
Rukia: "because you watch over this town of Kuoh. So it's only right I inform you about this, as this could impact you as well. Now, I don't expect you or your peerage to help fight them, merely an exchange of information and inform me of any Hollow activity."
Rias: "so, a partnership?" Rukia nods, "well, I'm fine with that. It's very rare for the Soul Society to ask us Devils for help. This partnership could lead to something more in the future, but that's something for the future. As of right now, like any deal or partnership, there must be an equal exchange."
Rukia: "that's fair. So what is it you want?"
Rias: "I have 2 propositions, actually. The first being more of a suggestion. You could just transfer to our school. This is a prime location for you as this school is nearly at the center point of Kuoh, thus making it easier for you to get around. Plus, there's my club. You could use it as a base of operations and make it so exchanging information would be that much easier. Basically cutting out the middle man."
Rukia: gets into a thinking pose, "actually. That works for me. As you said, it would make communication between use easier, but how would you get me into your school?"
Rias: waves her hand, "forging documents is pretty easy. So it wouldn't be that hard. Oh." covers her mouth in a joking manner, "I shouldn't have said that out loud. Silly me."
Rukia: sweat drop forms on her head, "and the second thing?"
Rias: "that same as you request from us, but for stray Devils, exorcists or anything in a similar vein."
Rukia: "that's only fair. You got yourself a deal, Rias Gremory."
Rias: "great, but please. Just call be Rias."
Rukia: "got it."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfbGQ04Do4
Rukia then walks up to Rias and shakes her hand, causing Rias to smile at her. With that business out of the way, Rukia takes her leave to patrol the area for any Hollows. As she left, Rias notices something.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpnIMeD3yU
Rias: "oh! I forgot to ask her where she's staying while she's here. Oh well, she looks resourceful. So I'm sure she can finger it out."

As the sun begins to set over the tow of Kuoh, we see going on with the rest of their day, some going home after a long day of work, others getting off from school after what felt like years of boring lectures. Many others were just going about their day, but all were unaware of something lurking in the shadows cast by the surrounding buildings. This creature was being perfectly covered by the shadows, only giving a vague view of its overall inhuman figure, but the one thing was very clear, its glowing red eyes looking upon them. As it looks at the unsuspecting people, it grows and slowly disappears into the shadowy void.
However, now we see a more residential part of town. We can clearly see many normal looking homes that cover the area. Not much was going on here as many have already returned home, well that was until-

As the camera pans, we can see Ichika standing in front of 5 guys, with the 5th facing planting the ground. We can see she's still in her school uniform, while the others look like typical street thugs. 2 of these so called 'thugs' went to check on the one eating pavement, while the last 2 get ready to fight her.

* but replace Ichigo with Ichika
The man tries to go for a punch, but she easily stops him with her foot to his face, completely stopping his momentum. All the while having a bored expression on her face. Now with his momentum gone, he falls to the ground. With her leg still raised, coincidentally her skirt just being long enough to hide her panties. She looks down and clicks her tongue in annoyance, as she normally wears biker shorts, but she got chewed out for it not being regulation. So she had no choice but to take them off, until she puts them back on that is. She then takes this leg and stomps on the mans face repeatedly until his face leaves an impression in the hard concrete. Yet, his skull somehow doesn't break or causing him to bleed.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjBwSOOgkE
Dumbass 2: "oh no, little Yama's down!"
Dumbass 3: "we gotta help him!"
Dumbass 4: "you crazy?! Ain't no way I'm taking on that psycho bitch!"
Dumbass 5: a sweat drop forms on his head, as he mumbles while side eyeing him, "and yet you're fine calling her a bitch?"
Ichika: stomps on Dumbass 1 one last time, "now listen here you pond scum! You see that over there?" she points at a knocked over bottle with flowers still in it-
Ichika: "now, first question! What do you morons think that is?!" none of them answer, causing a blood vain to pop on her head, "you, dumbass in the middle! Answer my fucking question!"
Dumbass 3: "uhhhh?"
Ichika: stomps hard on the ground, "answer the damn question!"
Dumbass 3: "eeeeeehhhhh! I-I-I-I-I guess someone left some flowers behind for some kid that got kill-blurghhh!:
Ichika: "correct!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMESAEOd1a
We then see Ichika has managed to reach the group at a fast pace and kicked the middle dumbass square on his face. She then straightens up and cracks her knuckles.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMSpfeUObm
Ichika: "now onto my next question. Why was the vase tipped over?!"
Dumbass 2: fear begins to settle in, "i-i guess one of u-us knocked it over w-when we were s-skateboarding around and c-came through here. W-we didn't mea-urghhh!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8NiqPLi6u
Ichika then, in a surprisingly short amount of time, managed to beat the remaining dumbasses, leaving them all face planted onto the hard and cold concrete ground.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJrrQGLbA
Ichika: "man, maybe you idiots aren't as dumb as you look, and that's before you started eating pavement........ naaaaah. Now I want you morons to go over there and apologize, or else the next time someone brings some flowers, it'll be for you idiots." they didn't move out of fear of her, causing her to get pissed and stomping hard onto the ground, "I SAID APOLOGIZE!!!!"
Dumbasses: "EEEEEHHHHHH!" they then rush over to her on their hands and knees, "we're sorry! We're sorry!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzosmUljKp
She then stomps her foot on the ground one more time, causing them all to run for the hills out of pure fear of her. She then clicks her tongue in annoyance, before then turning towards the vase with a sympathetic look on her face.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2dK3ROTd
Ichika: "sorry about all that, but that should keep those morons from showing their ugly faces around her again. I'll bring you some new flowers tomorrow."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5yzAetTZs
When she looked towards the streetlamp, a transparent little girl appeared behind it. She had a chain attached to the center of her chest. The little girl looked at Ichika with a smile on her face.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNUMR94lnZ
Ghost Girl: shakes her head, "no it's fine. You came to my defense after all, and thank you. I think I can finally rest in peace now."
Ichika: walks over and straightens up the vase, "it's no problem. Besides, it's the least I can do for you. After all, you deserve to rest in peace."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAex6zJieMe
Ichika then turns around and waves the girl goodbye, before then walking away. As she continues to walk, she looks up at the sky and notices that it's now nighttime. She lets out a sigh before continuing on to her destination. As the shroud of the night envelops the town of Kuoh, the light from the full moon illuminates the town, giving it a white glancing glow. As the camera begins to pan, we can see a petite woman dressed in all black standing on a utility pole. As we get a better look at her, we can see that this woman was actually Rukia, who's looking over the town.

Rude Welcoming
Now back to Ichika. We can see her walking up to a home that looks slightly bigger than the others. On the front of the building is a sign that reads 'Kurosaki Clinic'. This home also acts as a small clinic that her family owns. It provides aid to the neighborhood, with the nearest hospital being too far away. As she walks in through the front door, she decided to announce herself, big mistake.

Ichika: "I'm home!"

Ichika: "gahhh!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uu40YGVU3
Out of literally nowhere, as if coming from the void of nothingness, a man rushes Ichika and kicks her square in the face. She lands flat on her ass and begins to rub her cheek. The man stands above her with a face of victory and points at the girl.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSUFLKKPNo
???: "you let your guard down, young lady! Your guard must be up at all times, even at home! You could never protect your man with such weak resolve.... oh, and you're also late for dinner again."
Ichika: gets in his face and is pissed off, "come on! Is that any way to welcome home your daughter, old man?! I just finished helping the spirit of a little girl find peace, jackass!"
Isshin: "silence! So you're blaming the ghost now, huh?! I suppose it's the ghost's fault you left your room a mess! When will you show some discipline, huh?! What happens when you bring a boy over?!"
Ichika: "get off my back, dad! Besides, there isn't a guy I'm interested in at all, and it's not like they would come over anyways!"
Yuzu: looks over the chair, "can you 2 stop fighting already and eat your dinner."
Karin: takes a bite, "let them fight it out, more rice for me."
Yuzu: "that's not very nice, Karin..... oh, wait. Ichika? What about that boy from your school?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8yr8xvRu
We then see the father-daughter pair pulling on each others faces angrily, but then stop and look at Yuzu in confusion.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel4syfFgEr
Ichika: "huh? What boy?"
Yuzu: sits normally on the chair, puts her finger on the bottom of her chin and looks up, "uuummmmm, what was his name again?" puts her finger on the side of her head and tilts her head, "you talk about him a lot, uhhhhhhh. I can't remember."
Karin: "Y/n."
Yuzu: snaps her fingers happily, "that's right, Y/n! I thought you like him, you do talk about him a lot when dads not around."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1NRrAZdkC
Ichikas face instantly turned red. She then rushes to her little sister and covers her mouth.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliRshlhw9p
Ichika: "shut up, shut up. And I don't have a crush on him."
Karin: takes another bite and says in a monotone voice, "she didn't say anything about a crush."
Ichika: blushes, "I........ well..... damn it." looks at her blonde sister and pouts, "when did you become so tricky?"
Yuzu: "hehe, since you stopped being honest about your feelings for him."
Ichika: "I do not have a crush on him."
Karin: "didn't we invite him over one time?"
Yuzu: "ooooh yeahhhh. I remember now."
Isshin: "we did what now? Wait, we had a boy over here!"
Karin: takes another bite, "it's no surprise you don't remember."
Isshin: "what?"
Yuzu: "yeah, after what he did to you."
Isshin: "he did what now?"
Karin: "case in point. Anyways, you can deny it all you want, Ichika. It's pretty obvious you do, to us anyways, but off that topic, if you're not going to eat. Then I'm taking your share."
Ichika: "alright alright, I'll eat."
Isshin: "we're not done here, young lady, and what did this boy do?!"
Yuzu: stands up, places her hands on her hips and says in a stern voice, "yes, you are dad. Now come and eat your food before it's all gone."
Isshin: slumps over in defeat, "yes, mam."
Yuzu: warm smile, "good."

We now see Ichika looking at her room, before she then lays down on her bed. She looks up at the ceiling and begins to get lost in her own thoughts.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIrA4saRVt
Isshin: "so about this boy she has a crush on, who none of you will tell me what happened when he was here. What can you tell me about him, and why hasn't she come to me to talk about any of it?"
Karin: "how much time do you have?"
Yuzu: "Karin, be nice."
Karin: "whaaaaat. Come on. Why should we tell him anything? I mean, look at him. He's over 40 and is still emotional stunted, and don't even get me started on the fact he's mentally as old as a preschooler."
Isshin: "oh, my dear wife. I think they hit puberty too soon. Our youngest is being so mean to me. What do I even do?" slams on a super large photo of his wife and begins crying.
Karin: somehow looks both annoyed and deadpan at the same time, "you can start with taking down the giant poster of mom. It's creepy, old man." making him cry louder and her sighing.

News Anchor (TV): "the incident occurred outside of Kotakura Station early this morning. It was around 7:30 am as the morning commute was going full swing. Many eyewitnesses reported hearing loud noises and crashing like sounds, as well as feeling the ground beneath their feet shake. As if something big was moving around. As for now, for everyone's safety, the entire area has been closed off. Stay safe everyone."

We see as Rias is sitting at her desk, remote in hand, before then placing it down. She then rests her head on her fist before then looking at some paperwork. She then lets out a sigh while placing the piece of paper down. She then looks over her shoulder to see Akeno in her using standing position.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5E50ReQN
Rias: "looks like it's another Hollow attack."
Akeno: "seems like it, it's just like she said. Their attacks are becoming more rampant and bold. Should we tell Rukia about this latest one?"
Rias: "go ahead. Maybe she can pick up its trail before it hurts any more innocent people. If push comes to shove, we'll act, but without a Zanpakutō, we can't help the soul move on. All we would be doing is eradicating it, thus causing an imbalance. Luckily, killing a small few here and there won't cause any trouble. So let's keep that as our backup plan."
Akeno: "right." bows and begins to leave.
Rias: "before you go." causing Akeno to stop and look at her, "how's Y/n doing? Has he shown any signs of, well..... anything?"
Akeno: smiles at her innocently, "ara, you seem awwwfully interested in him."
Rias: tries to hide her blush, "don't be ridiculous. The fact he passed through the barrier with no issue at all, despite being a human, is a clear sign that something is up with him. All I'm doing is making sure he's not a threat or someone who should be protected like Izumi was."
Akeno: "sure sure."
Rias: "I'm being serious."
Akeno: "no no, I believe you. Bye." leaves the room
Rias: pouts by puffing up her cheeks, "jeez, what's with her? And for her information, I was....... wasn't I?"

Yet Another Brawl.... With a Former Boxer?
[Kuoh Academy courtyard]
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGo8nlT74g
* Repeat if needed
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WyTp5W0b
We now see a pretty large and well-built man, taking on a typical boxer stance, while throwing rapid punches at someone. This man was smiling and laughing like a mad man. Behind him were multiple familiar looking Kuoh male students cheering him on. However, once we see his opponent, we can see it was in fact Y/n. We can see him taking on a strong but loose stance. As the man continues to throw his punches, the boy either dodges with ease or just as easily deflects his punches with the minimalist effort. Then the man goes for one last powerful punch.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfGAAgm8ME
Man: "It's over!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUnzzK6CPF
The man cocks back his fist as far as he could, even twisting his torso while keeping his legs in the same position. Then punching with all his might, but then the boy just slowly raises up his arm and............. catches the mans punch. A small gusts of wind blows up from behind the boy from the sheer power behind the mans punch.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpnUFWmiac
Man: "what?! H-how?"
Y/n: "simple. You're predictable. I see why your boxing career didn't kick off."
Man: grits his teeth, "why yoUuUuU."
Y/n: "plus, you're weak and your stance is horrible. It's filled with openings. It didn't take much to figure you out and come up with a countermeasure to your weak fighting."
Man: "baaaaaasTARD!!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalHlKcbc3S
The large man goes for another punch with his free hand but then-
-Y/n simply dodges his punch rather easily and punches his so hard in the gut that all the air was knocked out of him and some could've sworn they saw some kind of small shockwave burst out from the mans back. Whatever the cause may be, the man was clearly not getting up anytime soon, as he flops on the ground as soon as Y/n removes his fist. When onlookers look at the man, his irises are clearly missing, showcasing him being knocked the fuck out.

Y/n: "that's how you use your body to power your attacks, but whatever. I was hoping you would be stronger, clearly you were all muscle and no skill at all. What a disappointment."
Student 1: "h-he knocked him out."
Student 2: "with a single punch."
Student 3: "no wonder, he's called the devil. H-hes a monster."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xqhDWEgn
Y/n heard their words and glared daggers at them with such intensity that they all ran away from him, well not before taking the large man with them of course. With everyone now all gone, the boy just lets out a sigh, before then putting his hands into his pockets and walking away with a somber look on his face.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWG4rEoEm7
Y/n: "It's not like I wanted to be one."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEqziJqlts
As the boy continues to walk away, we see into the top floor of the school building. We can see a well-dressed but muscular man looking down on him, but the shadows cover his face. The man has one hand resting on the window sill before gripping the edge in frustration.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBSuUQaR5L
???: "even that useless washout couldn't get rid of that scum. He's a blemish on this school, and more importantly, he's an obstacle to my plans." relaxes, "hehe, whatever. He's just a child. I'll get rid of him soon enough."

What Happened This Morning?
[Mini Timeskip]
[Lunchtime: School Rooftop]
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ILwMa7lA
We now see the usual trio of Orihime, Ichika and Y/n sitting at their usual spot on the open area of their school's rooftop. Things were almost usually quiet about them, until Orihime noticed something about Y/n.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yEIv5nN1Y
Orihime: "what's wrong, Y/n-kun? You seem a little gloomy today."
Ichika: "so I wasn't imagining things."
Y/n: "huh? Oh, It's nothing."
Orihime: "oh, come on. You can tell us."
Y/n: "nah, I'm good. Just dealing with some idiots is all."
Ichika: "again? Jeez. Do you ever take a break?"
Y/n: "not until these morons learn their god-damn lesson already. Just wish they would learn from the other male students who act..... well, normal. Tho today was different."
Orihime: "how so?"
Y/n: "their learning...... hehe. These punks hired some washout boxer dude to fight me, but he was weak. I can see why his career didn't kick off. His moves were predictable and easily dealt with. All I had to do was let him ware himself out. Seriously, tho, these fights are getting boring. There's no challenge."
Ichika: "hahaha maybe you should enter the pro MMA scene or something. Maybe then you'll find a challenge."
Y/n: "maybe, but I highly doubt it. There's just too many rules, it's too limiting for me to truly enjoy myself but off that note. I heard you had a pretty interesting morning, Ichika. You alright?"
Ichika: "huh? Oh, yeah. I honestly have no idea what happened."
Orihime: "I heard part of the building suddenly collapsed."
Ichika: "is that the story? So I was the only one who saw that monster attacking that ghost girl from the other day./ yeah, it was pretty crazy. Luckily, no one got hurt."
Y/n: "I'll say."

Y/n: "welp, that's the bell." gets up and begins to walk away, "Take care of yourself, Ichika, and you too Orihime."
Orihime: "oh no, you don't mister."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdmZrJSA8o
Suddenly, Orihime gets up and grabs the boys arm and drags him along with her.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mU7NR2Zl6
Y/n: "h-hey!"
Orihime: "don't 'hey' me. We both know you were going to ditch class, but not this time. Not if I have anything to say about it."
Y/n: "shit, she knows me too well."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0sSeW7vl5
Seeing Kuohs Sweetheart drag along the famed H/c Haired Devil, who could do nothing but be dragged along and flail his free arm, was quite the sight for Ichika. She couldn't help but let out a laugh that came from the gut before then shaking her head with a smile on her face. Letting the worry she feels about earlier today wash over her and just focus on the now, letting it be a later date kind of problem. However, she did feel a tiny ping of jealousy over the fact Orihime could easily grab his arm like that, whereas she couldn't but decided to ignore those feelings..... for now. Right now, she has other problems, like getting to class and trying to figure out who that girl in all black was.

Uninvited Guest.... Again
[Timeskip | Brought to you by a chibi Orihime dragging along a chibi Y/n, while a chibi Ichika is snickering in the background]
[Nighttime]
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDN2SExkEL
We now see into Ichikas room, we can see said girl laying in her bed. She still had her school clothes on, and she had her arms behind her head. All the lights in her room are off. As she just lays there, she lets out a sigh.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XMzgH8TIo
Ichika: "why is it so hard for me to get even slightly physical with him? Damn it, how is it someone like Orihime, has almost no issue doing it, while I do? Damn it. I need to think of something else before I get too annoyed." she thinks back to the girl in black, "who was she anyways? Nothing about her or that monster made sense to me, or why no one saw any of them. Just what the hell happened?......... huh?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zzn8FYBzt
Suddenly, the same girl Ichika was just thinking about. Literally just appeared in her room and stands on Ichikas desk.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWQAqoqf4r
Ichika: "what in the hell do you think you're doing in here?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRwP4pvIV1
Rukia then lightly jumps off Ichikas desk and lands on the floor. She then grabs her katana that rests on her hip and begins to look around, as if she was looking for someone or something.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFyvT5Evwu
Ichika: leans against her wall, "gah! Put that thing away before you hurt someone! You're not slicing anyone up, do you hear me?!....... hey!"
Rukia: with a very serious expression on her face, "it's getting closer..... I can feel it."
Ichika: "are you even listening to me! Hey!" she then kicks the girl right on her face, causing her to fall flat on her face. Ichika then points at her while Rukia lays there confused, "if you're a burglar, you're not a very good one! For starters, you shouldn't talk to yourself."
Rukia: looks over her shoulder and stares at Ichika, "you just kicked me. I can't be seen by normal humans. Are you saying you can actually see me?"
Ichika: "well, considering that's my footprint I just planted on your ass, you tell me!"
Rukia: gets up more, "wait, you're that girl I saw earlier today."
Ichika: "boy, nothing gets past you."
Rukia: walks up to Ichika and cups her shin and looks at her, well that best she can, considering their height difference, "how very strange. You seem normal to me." she looks forward and notices Ichikas big chests that right at eye level with her. This causes her eyebrow to twitch but returns to look up at her, "you must be defective in some way."
Ichika: "I'll show you defective!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPBtxxiLQI
Ichika tries to go for another kick, but then Rukia easily dodges her attack by jumping onto her head and landing gracefully behind her, all the while Ichika falls face first. Rukia almost cockily side eyes Ichika but then notices her ass still in the air, Rukias eyes drifted to Ichikas ass and noticing its size, as well as the biker shorts that are now covering her panties. This causes her eyebrow to twitch as she lightly taps her own ass.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oElr2IEx3
Ichika: gets up slightly, "just who in the hell are you?"85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCxqxhPui9
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnWSn0nmf
Rukia: "you wanna know? Then I'll tell you. I'm a Soul Reaper, otherwise known as a Shinigami."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCdVqJlljy
Somewhere outside, we can see the same ghost girl running from something chasing her, something we can't see. This something leaves behind thunderous stomps and large footprints on the hard concrete. The girl tries to catch her breath by hiding behind a streetlamp.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NxzpPfRjP
Ghost girl: "oh no, not again."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvWYQcKRG
Back inside Ichikas room, we can see as the pair are not sitting on the floor. In front of them was a small coffee table. The pair was sitting opposite of each other, with Ichika having her arms crossed and her eyes closed.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzEmdyGHii
Ichika: "okay. Let me get this straight. You're something called a Soul Reaper also known as a Shinigami."
Rukia: nods, "mm-hm."
Ichika: "and you're telling me you were sent here on some kind of mission by some place called the Soul Society."
Rukia: nods, "mm."
Ichika: "to deal with demons-"
Rukia: "Hollows, Demons are something else, and they're actually called Devils."
Ichika: "right Hollows......" unfolds her arms and her eyes open in shock, "wait what?!"
Rukia: "another time."
Ichika: "grrr, fine. Anyways, you deal with these 'Hollows', like the one I saw on the street earlier today."
Rukia: nods, "mm-hm."
Ichika: "which was chasing after that little girls soul."
Rukia: nods, "mm-hm."
Ichika: "that all sounds very believable to me........"
Ichika: "-when fucking pigs fly, you delusional little midget!"
Rukia: shocked, "uh, how dare you? Why wouldn't you believe I'm a Soul Reaper, when you yourself have admitted to seeing spirits?"
Ichika: "I've never seen nor have I ever heard of these 'Soul Reapers' before and frankly, your whole story is just too incredible to believe. I don't believe in anything I can't see."
Rukia: "......." deadpan, "I'm literally standing right here you moron."
Ichika: pops a blood vain on her head, "well it's true that I can see you and I do agree with the fact you aren't human but why don't you go play this Soul Reaper game somewhere else little girl." pets Rukias head, "now run along, you little brat."
Rukia: "brat am I?" she then jumps back and outstretches her arms, "Bakudō # 1: Sai!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh9hNrkOBI
Suddenly, Ichikas arms are shot back behind her, as if someone is aggressively handcuffing her. Right as this was happening, she felt all of her strength leave her out of nowhere, causing her to fall forward.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboRN0JyeF
Ichika: "i-i can't move. What in the hell did you do to me?!"
Rukia: "simple, paralysis. I've used what's known as Kidō on you. It's a high level incantation that only we Soul Reapers have. Think of it like magic but different at the same time." Ichika struggles to break free, "it's useless. All you're doing is wasting your energy. I may appear younger than you, but I've lived nearly 10 of your life times." she then forms a creepy smile, "I could kill you on the spot for your insults, if it didn't go against my orders. So you better be grateful, you little brat."
Ichika: still struggling, "you got some nerve."
Rukia: "and now......."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2tWSywF3f
She then unsheathes her katana and raises it above her head. Then swinging it down quickly, causing Ichika to close her eyes, but then heard a man grunt next to her. She opens her eyes and sees Rukia taping the head of the ghostly man with the bottom of her hilt.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVomQaOzp8
Ichika: "Wait, you're that ghost from yesterday."
Ghost Man: "no, please don't. I don't wanna go to the underworld."
Rukia: her expression then softens, "don't worry. That's a different place. Where you're heading to is Heaven, now rest in peace and enter paradise."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3SKFQp0Lt
As the man slowly fades away, he gets into a prayer like position and forms a soft expression on his face. As if he's at peace now with what's about to happen.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirsuDoEwL0
Ichika: "where did he go? What did you just do to him?"
Rukia: "calm down, all I did was sent his soul to Heaven. He wasn't meant for the Soul Society. It's one of our main responsibilities as Soul Reapers. To help soul move on and pass to the next realm. Whether that be the Soul Society or Heaven."
Ichika: "heaven? What about Hell?"
Rukia: "that's a different matter entirely. It's typically the job of the Grimm Reapers to handle evil souls slated for damnation. Tho, it's a different story for Hollows."
Ichika: "Grimm Reaper? Isn't that the same thing?"
Rukia: sighs, "yes and no. they serve under a God name Hades, who's responsible for the protection and oversight of the entirety of Hell itself."
Ichika: manages to get up in shock but just barely, "whoa whoa whoa. Gods?! As in God, Gods?!"
Rukia: tilts her head slightly in an almost cutesy way, "is it really that shocking?"
Ichika: "yes!! Soul Reapers are one thing, but now you're telling me Gods exist!"
Rukia: "well it's not like anyone really sees them, they rarely show themselves, even to their own servants and devoted followers, but whatever. There's no point in explaining it to you. So it doesn't really matter. Let's get back on topic. Now, I'll explain why I'm here and don't worry, I'll use small words so even you can understand." causing blood veins to pop on Ichikas head, "there are 2 types of spirits in this world known as the mortal realm. However, there are countless other beings out there, such as Devil, Angels, Fallen Angels, Dragons, Gods, and so on, but let's focus on the spirits since that's what's important right now."
Ichika: "as if what she just said wasn't groundbreaking and reality altering information...../ huh?"
Rukia: "the first kind of spirit is called Wholes, the ghosts you see walking around is what these usually are, and the second kind is-"
Rukia: "-evil soul called Hollows. These Hollows attack people whether they are alive or dead, they don't care. This is so they can devour their souls to feed themselves and grow stronger. Any questions so far?"
Ichika: "yeah........ why do all your drawings suck so bad?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeXRbJqK8s
*Squeaking*
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RY8tKXNDQ
We then see as Rukia has just marked Ichikas face with a marker.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rxbpSKcB8
Ichika: "ah! You brat! You'll pay for that!"
Rukia: "now, let continue our little lesson, monsieur. As Soul Reapers, we have 2 main jobs to carry out, which are-"
Ichika: mumbles, "I didn't ask for some kind of history lesson."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0om5Rsd1c
Rukias eyebrow then starts twitching, before she then throws a marker right onto Ichikas forehead, causing her to let out a small 'ow'.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXCtSEZ2N
Rukia: "the first is to lead the Wholes, or souls, to the afterlife to either be sent to Heaven or to the Soul Society through what we call Kenso, as I just did but trust me. If that Whole was destined for hell, it would be far more........ dramatic. Now for the second-"
Ichika: "now, hold on a minute."
Rukia: "what is it now?"
Ichika: "not that I really care, but I do have a question."
Rukia: "why ask at all, then?"
Ichika: "call it morbid curiosity."
Rukia: lets out a sigh, "fine. What is it?"
Ichika: "how do you know?"
Rukia: "now what?"
Ichika: "what a soul is destined for."
Rukia: "ohhhh." starts to clap in a comedic and mocking way, "that's actually a good question. Who knew you had a brain up there."
Ichika: multiple tick marks appear on her head, "I will kill you."
Rukia: returns to being serious, "anyway. As to how, we don't, actually. Not until we preform the Kenso anyways."
Ichika: "wait, if you don't, then who?"
Rukia: "the Spirit World."
Ichika: "who?"
Rukia: "it'll take too long to explain for your small mind." causing Ichika to get even more pissed, "to put it simply, they dictate the ultimate destination of a soul by reading their very essence itself the moment they die. It's a complicated process, but know it's them who decides that. Truthfully, I actually don't know how it all works, as I've never been there before, but it doesn't really matter. Anyways, we've gotten far off track. Now where was I.....oh right. Our second job is to exorcise the Hollows, wherever we find them. Course there is an unspoken role we play and that's to help provide balance to the many different realms that exist, more than you can ever possibly know."
Ichika: gulps, "r-really? That's..... insane but..... wait, Hollow? Do you mean like that bug thing from this afternoon? Then why was it chasing after that little girl?"
Rukia: "food, probably, maybe the thrill of the hunt, but the truth is, despite our long history with the Hollows. We still don't know much about them, nor what motivates the Hollows to do what they do. All we can do is speculate, such as to grow stronger or simply to fill their stomachs, but even that is still speculation."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLYJfAxlFA
Back with the ghost girl. We can see her running for her life....... well afterlife, from what appears to be a large humanoid Hollow like creature. The little girl suddenly trips on something and looks behind her in pure fear as it begins to reach out for her-
-However, this creature suddenly stops itself before grabbing her, before then sniffing the surrounding air.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ92eqwFCi8
Hollow: "mmmmaaaaa, I can smeeeell it. An especially tasty soul." sniffs the air some more, "Ahahahahaaaa, and it's nearby too. mmmmm. Wait?" again sniffs the air, "and a soul reapeeeer is near itttttt. Ahahahahaaaa, it's my lucky day."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gNhOp0y0O
The creature then turns around and walks away without doing anything more. This confuses the girl, but she ultimately breathes a sigh of relief.
Back to Ichika, we can now see as Rukia is sitting on her knees as she continues to explain to Ichika what it is that Soul Reapers do, but then something catches Ichikas attention.

Ichika: mumbles, "huh? What was that just now?"
Rukia: "the 1 thing we do know, is that there is a second one still roaming around out there. Prowling around for its next victim, It's possibly even nearby."
Ichika: "then what are you waiting for? Go out there and kill the damn thing already."
Rukia: she lets out a small sigh, "I would do that if I could, but I can't seem to get a read on its location. Normally I wouldn't have any issue with detecting them, but it's almost like my senses are being jammed by something, some kind of powerful force."85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5th08A8aH

Ichika: "are you deaf or something?"
Rukia: "huh?"
Ichika: "can't you hear it? There's something huge out there, howling! It has to be that Hollow thing!"
Rukia: looks down at her, "something...... is howling? I don't hear-"
Rukia: quickly stands up, "I hear it now! That's definitely a Hollow."
Ichika: "that's what I've been trying to tell you!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqlhpk2bU6
The Hollow Attacks
Suddenly, there was a loud crashing like sound, almost as if something just broke through a wall or something. Then the sound of a young girl screaming can be heard.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCCiAM4Kn
Ichika: "that's Yuzu!" Rukia starts running to the door, "wait, wait! Untie me, you midget!"
Rukia: as soon as she steps outside of the room, an enormous pressure overcomes her, "t-this spiritual pressure. It's the strongest I've ever felt. How is it even possible I missed something like this?"
Yuzu: crawls into the room with blood on her, "I-Ichika!"
Ichika: "Yuzu! What the heel happened?"
Yuzu: "Ichika....... K-Karin, she's...... she's been-" she starts to cry, "Ichika, you have to save her." she then passes out, causing Rukia to check on her.
Ichika: "hey.... hey! Damn it, you've gotta let me go already!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjJpkYBIED
The then sound of Karin screaming fills the air. This causes Rukia to gasp and immediately runs downstairs.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2WEk51KZA
Ichika: "hey!" she then slams her head on the floor, "gotta.... break free. urghhhhhh, daaaamn iiiitt!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k3zFG3WGv
Rukia reaches the bottom of the stairs and notices a large creature has burst through the wall and now has Karin in its hand.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c3fwLl86A
Karin: "aaaaah! Put.... me..... down, you damn freak!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOWahEfyvo
Rukia then draws her katana and gets into battle stance, reading herself to kill the fucker, but then she heard something fall down the stairs. When she looks, she's both shocked and confused. At the bottom of the stairs was Ichika, who did the only thing she could when she finally reached the stairs....... fall down them.

Rukia: "stay out of this, you moron!"
Ichika: "daaaaaamn it. That fucking hurt." she then somehow manages to just barely get on her feet.
Rukia: her eyes then widen, "how can she get on her feet? She's under my Kido?/ Fool! You'll only get in my way!"
Ichika: "shuuuuut uuuuup!" her little sister screams in pain, causing her to look up, "KARIN!!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgwNPvPcEJ
Ichika then starts struggling to break free from her binds, but it doesn't seem to work. Despite the pain she's feeling right now, she pushes through it. Her need to rescue her sister far out way whatever pain she's going through right now.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzxHhYl7sD
Rukia: "stop it, you fool! That Kido is far too stronger for a normal human like you to break free from! If you keep trying, all you'll do is cause damage to your soul! I said stop!"
Ichika: "arghhhhhhhh! HAAAAAAAAA!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFJx2jrvHG
Suddenly, strange symbols began to surround her. As she continues her struggle to break free, these symbols get closer and closer.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcBKlc7Bq0
Rukia: "what?! She..... she's actually breaking the Kido but.... that's impossible!"
Ichika: "HAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Rukia: "no, don't do it!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeLXyBv8vI
Suddenly, Ichika lets out one finally yell before the symbols surround her burst away from her, allowing her to outstretch her arms. This utterly and completely shocks Rukia. As soon as she broke free, she runs towards the monster and grabs a nearby chair.

Karin: "Ichika! Get this freak off me!"
Ichika: "Karin! Let her go, you bastard!"
Hollow: "huh?" looks towards the hole it just made, "ah, I finally found you. heheheeee."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y447o2kfj
Ichika then runs at the monster and tries to hit the bitch, but it easily blocks her attack, even managing to smack her away with ease. The creature then howls loudly before then laughing at Ichikas futile attempt to fight it. It then slowly walks towards her, but then Rukia rushes towards it and cuts its arm. This causes it to let Karin go. Seeing her chance, Ichika rushes towards her sister and manages to catch her, but she's out cold. The Hollow then slowly disappears into thin air.
* A/n: side note. What ever happened to this ability? They seemed to be able to do it early on but stopped in later episodes. Personally, it was unique and made the Hollows far more scary.

Ichika: "Karin! Karin!"
Rukia: gets into her defensive stance, "don't worry, she'll be fine. It left without devouring either of your sisters souls."
Ichika: looks up at Rukia, "are you sure?"
Rukia: "I am. It seems to be after a specific soul to eat. One of a much higher concentration of Spiritual Power. In fact..... the Hollow from earlier was after this very soul as well and not the little girls."
Ichika: "but... why?"
Rukia: "for some reason, it appears most of your Spiritual Power was hidden deep within you, until now, that is. When you needed to save your sister. That's why I couldn't sense anything unusual about you when I arrived. It would also explain why the Hollows haven't come to you before now. The Spiritual Power you have bottled up within you started to slowly pour out when you made contact with the young girls ghost. As a result, your soul got exposed. The Hollow from earlier, and the one here right now, detected your soul through that girl. They were using her to track you down. Which means-" she then side eyes Ichika, "those hollows are looking for you, Ichika."
Ichika: her eyes go wide, "those things..... were looking for me?"
Rukia: "which begs the question. How do you have Spiritual Power in the first place? Only-"

Rukias attention was drawn to the sudden noise which came from in front of her. When she looked, the large creature appeared out of thin air.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcnRuaa4NV
Rukia: gets back into her battle stance, "tch, that will have to wait. Now get OUT of here!"
Ichika: "no! All those attacks on that poor girl were all caused because of me, right?"
Rukia: "that's one way to look at it, but yes. Even tho-"
Ichika: "and now both of my sisters could end up dead...." looks down at Karin, "because of me." quickly looks up at Rukia, "it's all my fault!"
Yuzu (flashback): "Ichika, you have to save her."
Karin (flashback): "Ichika. Get this freak off me!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmsAqbzIPF
Ichika greets her teeth before putting down her sister and rushing towards the monster in front of her.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73RFWoC0m
Rukia: "no, stop you fool!"
Ichika: finally reaches the monster, "coward! Stop attacking others and face me already! If you want my damn soul so bad, then come and get it! Come on! Fight me 1 on 1 you stupid ugly bastard! Unless your too chicken to do even that?!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i1ftA0Tc3
The Hollow unleashes a mighty roar before then lunging itself at her.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaettwqCZh
Rukia: gasps, "oh no!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KLSaupyS
Before the creature could get too close and take a chunk out of Ichika, Rukia suddenly appears in front of her and blocks its attack. She struggles to hold it back, but then breaks free of the clash, resulting in her shoulder getting slashed and its tooth being broken off. However, unlike last time. The creature simply jumps away from her and onto a nearby building, covering its mouth in pain. Rukia falls to her knees as blood begins to gush out of her. Until she then falls face first onto the hard concrete ground.

Ichika: "Soul Reaper!"
Rukia: struggles to get up, "y-you're such a damn.... f-fool. How could you even possibly have thought you were some kind of match for that H-Hollow. Did you seriously think that it would all end if you gave them your s-soul? One soul, no matter how strong, isn't enough to satisfy them for long. If you don't stop getting in my way.... then we're all going to end up dead. Nothing more than food for it."
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18KoSyGH7
In the background, the Hollow can be seeing howling in pain.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGuo5nADb
Rukia: manages to reach a utility pole, "I-I'm too injured to fight." rests her back against the pole, "do you want to save your family?"
Ichika: "of course I do. If there's a way I could do that, then tell me how."
Rukia: "i-it's only temporary but...." she adjusts herself, "you must become a Soul Reaper.... yourself."
Ichika: "what?"
Rukia: points her katana (pause) towards Ichika, "you must take my Zanpakuto and run it through the very center of your being. This will allow my powers to pour into you." the Hollow howls again in the background, "I can't guarantee it will even work or if you will live through it, but if it doesn't, then it won't even matter." the large creature then rushes towards them.
Ichika: without hesitation, "then give me that blade, Soul Reaper."
Rukia: smiles, "it's Rukia, Rukia Kuchiki."
Ichika: grabs the blade, "and my name is..... Ichika Kurosaki!"

Suddenly, a bright light envelopes them both, blinding the creature but when it finally fades, the Hollows arm was suddenly cut clean off.
* I just had to you the OG song. Normally I would use some kind of royalty free/copyright free remix version/cover or something like that, but I just felt the classic version was more fitting for this moment.

When the dust begins to settle, we can see Rukia was covering her face from the dust, but now we see her in a white Soul Reaper gear, rather than black, and she no longer has her katana. When she looks towards the Hollow, she sees Ichika standing behind it with its severed arm behind her. Ichika, was now downing her own Soul Reaper outfit and with an absolutely huge Zanpakuto that was almost longer than her whole body.
* But as a girl.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc7rhjkyIO
Rukia: her eyes widen, "how could this have even happened? I only meant to give her half of my power, but somehow....... somehow she's taken nearly all of it."
Ichika: rests her large sword on her shoulder, "this ends.....NOW!!" she then rushes at the creature.
Rukia: "huh? Just what kind of being is she? I've never seen a human with such strong Spiritual Power before. Even tho it should be impossible for a normal human to possess Spiritual Power.... wait. That's what was jamming my senses. She was strong enough to break through my binding Kido, all on her own. I've never seen that before, let alone from a human. And..... I've never heard of a Soul Reaper wielding such a huge Zanpakuto."

Ichika continues to rush at the monster, but now it rushes back at her. As the pair get closer towards each other, both ready their respective attacks, for the Hollow its claws while Ichika, it's her sword. However, just as it gets near striking distance from her, it suddenly stops. Its eyes shoot wide open, before then quickly looking off in some direction.

Hollow: fear sets in, "i-impossible, that accursed thing has returned..... the Para-"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTD4Num8w
This caught Rukias attention, but before it could finish its sentence, or before she could ponder more-
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5kdJCVRFZ
Ichika: "you will pay the price for hurting my family, you Hollow scum! Now feel the wrath of my blade! HYAHHHH!!!!"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhImCiaKhc
Ichika finally reached the large creature before then cutting it clean in half. The force of her blade was so strong that it caused a blade shape shockwave to form on the creature and travel down and acrossed the ground, even going past behind her. As she stands up and the creature begins to fade from this plane of existence, Rukia looks on in amazement. However, just before it finished fading away, she looks at it and couldn't help but think about its final words and what it was about to say at the end. She's not sure why, but whatever it was about to say, worried her greatly. Never has a Hollow EVER lose focus on a meal, nor look so scared before. What could it all mean, what has returned, and why did the Hollow fear it? So many questions and not enough answers. It looks like things have gotten even more complicated for her and now Ichika. What could the future possibly hold for them?

A/n: welp that's it for this chapter and damn was it a long one, I started off around 6k words, and now I'm at 11k words, I literally don't know how this happens. I guess when I write, I keep going. Hope that wasn't too long or annoying to read. Also, I hope it was worth the wait. I'm trying to build a schedule, so I can start pumping these out on a somewhat constant bases. I decided on returning to my old schedule, one I had early on I think last year. Hopefully I can keep it, but I know it'll take me awhile to get into the habit, but I have a calendar app that will help. Anyways, back on topic. As you could see, as it was hinted and stated, I'm changing how Spiritual Power works in this series. It'll get confusing, definitely later one, but I'll try to explain it better in a later chapter, when the topic comes up. Also, as you read, I dropped some big foreshadows there and hints to possibly other series that's mixed in. Wonder what this Para thing is, who knows? And I know I said I don't really do the whole -kun and -chan thing, but it is part of her character, after all. So I left it in. it'll still be awhile before you start to get involved, I'm just taking my time building that up and introducing some of the crossover elements and how I plan to balance them more. Don't worry, it will happen soon. Anyways, that's all I can think of right now. So I'll see you...... in the next chapter.
* To be specific, it's 11585 words, yikes. Again, no idea how that happened.
