A black cloak rustles in the wind, the only noise in the night. The body under it moves swiftly across streets, casting a formless shadow under the street lights. It stops turning it's head seeming to decide a direction. Again it moves swiftly then becomes still at a crossroad. The figure pulls down it's hood, the light revealing a woman's face.
"Shit. Where is that bastard?" she accuses. The woman looks around, searching the night for another heart beat. But what she gets are two. The sound of their hearts combined with the familiar rustling of cloaks makes her feel trapped. The sound gets closer and louder.
"Shit!" the girl curses again. She brings her cloak tightly to her as she goes out of focus in the alley. A few seconds later two new figures stand under the streetlight. Their heads turn left to right, inspecting the area. After minutes of silence a male voice speaks.
" Damn it, Rukia. I thought you said there was some strange spiritual pressure around here?" accuses the tall, male figure.
"Shut up Ichigo." sighed the smaller female, called Rukia. "I swear it was on the radar a second ago." she whispers frustratingly, swiping her fingers across a small phone.
"Are you sure Kiskue just didn't rip you off again?" smirked Ichigo.
Before Rukia could retort they both caught the sound of a small voice. Ichigo gaped at Rukia and she at him. As soon as they caught each others eyes they knew. They spoke silently already moving toward their destinations. Rukia moved towards a pitch, black alley way while Ichigo preceded to a dark shop.
Then a shadow bursts forth crashing into Rukia, sending her flying. Ichigo shouts out and the figure stops staring over at her. Was it guilt that stopped it?, thought Ichigo. But as soon as the words flew through his head the figure was off. He ran after it, but at a distance. He had to determine how strong it was and what was with the cloak? It seemed blurry. Like a mirage.
Ichigo sped up, only to be inches behind the shadow. He stretched out his hand reaching for the hood. His fingers reached the delicate fabric and he gripped it tight. He pulled it down to reveal a girl. Before being stunned by an enormous spiritual pressure he caught a flash of emerald, green eyes before the girl took off at full speed. In her wake she left behind only a slight breeze like the mist off the ocean. Ichigo stood there stunned barely noticing Rukia coming up behind him.
"What happened? Where is it? Did you find out what it was?" she questioned, a little out of breath from the spiritual pressure she just felt. Ichigo dropped his head and shook it in disbelief.
"It was a girl. Not a human one though. She had enormous spiritual pressure." Ichigo whispered, staring in the direction she left. Her emerald eyes flashing in front of his eyes as if to taunt him of her escape. Rukia was quiet for a moment, staring at Ichigo. He wasn't usually like this.
" I guess I should report this to the Soul Society." said Rukia, already putting the phone to her ear. "Hello? Yes. This is Rukia Kuchiki, member of Squad 13. We just had an encounter with....."
Ichigo tuned out Rukia's ramblings to listen intently to the night. He so desperately wished the sky could talk, to tell him everything that he now wanted answered. Things he now questioned himself. For example, who was that? Or what was it? And what was happening out there, in the shadows?
