Hollow Hunter: a Bleach Fan Fiction

3: You're Here!

Ichigo's Point of View

I was eating lunch on the roof with Chad, Orhime, Uryu, Keigo, Mizuiro and Evie.

It had been a month since we met Evie. The amount of hollows attacking started decreasing after the day we first met. Evie didn't relax from that though. She thinks that it's some kind of trick set up by Yajimaru.

I sat with my back against the fence as I watched Keigo try to flirt with Evie. Evie kept trying to get away without offending Keigo, but I knew that that wasn't going to work.

It took a while, but Evie got away and sat next to me.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

She sighed. "I'm fine, but he's persistent." That, I knew, as a fact.

We were halfway through lunch when two familiar spiritual pressures walked on the roof. I looked up and saw two of my friends.

"Rukia! Renji! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed. I noticed that they were in gigais.

"Hey, Ichigo," Rukia said. The look on their faces told me they wanted to explain, but something was preventing them from doing so. I looked at Evie through the corner of my eye. She was studying them, probably noticing that they were soul reapers. I knew she was the reason that prevented Rukia and Renji from explaining.

"Yes, Rukia and Renji are soul reapers, and yes, Evie knows about them," I said.

All three of them looked at me surprised. "That's not something you just blurt out!" all three yelled.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Too late."

"Well, this seems important," Mizuiro said. "I guess we should leave." Then he literally dragged Keigo out the door. "If we see Tatsuki, we'll let her know what's going on!"

"See ya!" I called out. For some reason, when it comes to soul reaper business, Mizuiro always wants to avoid getting involved.

Rukia and Renji sat down. "Well," Rukia said. "Would you mind explaining who this girl is and why she knows about soul reapers."

"Hi, I'm Evie," she said. "I'm a Hollow Hunter." Then she explained what that was.

"So, why are you here?" Uryu readjusted his glasses.

Renji started to explain, "The Department of Research and Development started picking up some unfamiliar spirit energy in your high school. They decided to send us because we've been here before and know you the best."

"Yajimaru," Evie murmured to herself.

"What was that?" Rukia asked.

"Yajimaru. He's a half-being." Then she gave them an explanation of what she knows. She even added that he was our substitute teacher at the moment because our's had an 'accident'. "It's possible that that's the strange spirit energy you guys were picking up."

Rukia nodded. "Squad 12 doesn't recognize the spirit energy. They would know if it was a soul reaper, hollow, Bount, and even a zanpukuto."

We sat quietly for a minute, trying to figure out why Yajimaru was here. All of a sudden, my combat pass went off and Evie's right hand started glowing.

"I'll get it," she said and stood up. We all watched as her gloves unraveled, goes around the rest of her body, only revealing her hands and eyes. Then she jumped up and was gone.

"Woah," Rukia and Renji said.

Orhime laughed. "I've seen it so many times already, and I still can't get used to it. It's so fun to watch!"
