Kazui's POV:

Kido really is great. I never really got to use Kaido (Healing spell) since I only focused on the Binding spells. I was healed in no time. All of the cuts and bruises that used to cover my body had all faded away when the healing. Though my doctor, I think his name was Hanataro or something, told me to get some bed rest. Naturally, I thanked him for the treatment and lay in bed.

My senses were heightened a bit, I could tell. But if I wanted to find out, I need to test it out in an actual fight.

I look forward to battling someone who can help me change and grow so I'll become worthy to fight alongside my dad. As I lay in bed, all I could think about was what I'll have next as I slowly drifted off into my sleep.




???'s POV:

That was too close. Anymore and he might've died. But I also see how he's improved. Kazui has somehow drawn his Hollow energy within him and used it against that Shinji character. He was able to gather the reishi and Spiritual Energy, sending a shockwave of Spiritual Pressure, negating the effects of Sakanade.

I see his plan. Mugetsu was planning ahead the whole time, knowing that over time, at his age, Kazui would develop and discover his true power just as Ichigo had. All while I sit in the white void inside his spirit.

Hurry up, Kazui. Let it be my time to shine. It really is getting boring in here.




Kazui's POV:

I woke up feeling as groggy as ever. Wow, training really took a toll on my body because even though my injuries are gone, my body is aching as hell. I stayed on my bed and lay there for a couple of minutes thinking over and reanalysing my fight with Shinji.

As I remember every detail, I knew that something was wrong with my attacks. They felt more heavier than usual; just like the time in the Dangai. My Getsuga Tenshou was much larger. If I hadn't held back my attack for a bit, I think I would have severely damaged Shinji.

I slowly got up from the bed and slowly walked out to the door.

I bowed and thanked each one of the nurses and doctors, especially Captain Isane Kotetsu. I then walked into Shinji's room and thanked him for the training.

"Eh, its no problem really. I helped your father, and he saved the whole damn Soul Society. Not that I'm complaining or anything. Anyway, back to the point, your senses should be at least heightened since training with Sakanade will sharpen your senses and increase your perception. You'll be more likely to not fall into illusions and react quicker", Shinji explained nonchalantly in his hospital bed.

"Get out of here, Kurosaki. You have training to do"

I bowed once again and walked off back to the Squad 10 barracks.

When I finally arrived, a certain tanned lady wearing bright orange overshirt waited for me at the front gate.

"So, who're you?"

She smiled at me and crossed her arms, "I'm an old friend of your dad's. My name is Yoruichi Shihoin"

I looked extremely confused, "So you aren't the captain that Matsumoto told me about?"

"Well.....no. But I am here to take you to where you're supposed to be", she then turned around, "That is if you keep up with me"

"Trust me, I know Flash step. My dad taught me and I got it easily"

"And who do you think taught him?"

"..."

To be fair, he never really told me.

She then took off without a trace of her whereabouts. After she reappeared, she was already an extremely long distance away from me. Damn, how fast is she?

With a long sigh, I also took off as well. Trying as fast as I could to catch up to this Yoruichi. One Flash step after another, we both kept racing each other to get to our destination, with her mainly in the lead.

Really, who is she? A stranger who was about to lead me to my doom or something?

I guess I'd find out if I followed her.
