While Charles is sleeping, he dreams so bad, about her mother's death. When walking together with her mother, Charles saw a little girl at the side of river, he tried to save her but when he saving her, her mother died. He awaked immediately because of his nightmare and he gone sad.
An Onmitsukidou agent tells a Shinigami to go to the real world to observe Rica Kuchiki there and it gone already.
To the Hueco Mundo, the dwelling place of Hollows, a black blobs appears as a newly-grown Hollows and tells that they want to go there to attack.
Friday morning and its April 17, Charles is not attending the school that his father had excused him already for their picnic and commemoration of their mother's death, Charlene Kurosaki. They are preparing their needs especially their foods, blankets, baskets and tuning-up their car to go to their destination, almost everything are ready. Rica pretending to visit Charles at their home by going out on their back door then going to front gate to join them, she knocked to the gate and say to Matthew "Mr. Kurosaki, isn't your son awaken? Should I join to your picnic as Charles said? I'm Rica Kuchiki, his classmate and not his girlfriend." Matthew wants to say that Rica is his girlfriend but she already told it but he said "Come on, join us for the commemoration of their mother's death." Then Charles comes out and say "Hey! Isn't Rica there?? Could I talk to her?" Then she enter as Stephanie welcomes her then they are talking while Matthew notices them evenly Charles, "Charles, thanks for invite, but isn't for your family only? Why I need to join here?" Rica thanked him and he said "Stupid question! Why did you ask that? I joined you in our special occasion because we have to do something there, especially the Hollows immediate come out." Then Charles look back and his head down that he remember his mother's death, "Hey, hey! Why did looking down there? Isn't you remember anything bad past? Tell me." He said that is nothing and he wipe the residue of his eyes or a vanity word "morning-glory" to his eyes, then they're going outside and riding their car.
They're riding already and their car departed going to Eternal Garden Memorial Park to visit their mother's burial ground and go picnic together. While inside of car, Matthew asking Rica "I don't know if I want to ask to you this but, how did you know about my son? Isn't working well in your school? Hooking for some hidden activities? Or anything he do good there?" Rica tells "Ahh...Charles? Ah yes, yes. I know him even I'm a transferee there. He's good enough in Mathematics, English, Filipino and other subjects. He doesn't going hang out to other students and he always helps the school personnels. That's his good character (Even he do something bad as sometimes)." But their car engine stucks by the black smoke comes out, Charles comes out outside and say "What the f***is that! Isn't your car going old? Don't fool me, that our grandfather inherited that TRASH CAR? Why did you not buy new one, and that junk car store it anyway!" His father argues with him "Hey! Didn't you know, that car has a sentimental value and I don't want to store it anyway. Replacing a car with a new one means, disrespecting my father's will to survive our famous clan, Kurosaki. You don't know how can survive our clan after a less than ten year war." Charles said "By the way, let's walk. Tow it and repair now and reclaim later!" Gillian and Stephanie wants to stop their non-sense argument but immediately stopped and walk.
While they're walking to the stepping-up way, Rica has gone to go somewhere as she notices a Shinigami that has a mission to track her. Then Gillian and Stephanie feels tired and his father said "Go on walking, we are nearing to go to your mother's burial." Gillian said "But dad, we're tired! Just shut your mouth and rest." Until she kick her father then Stephanie and Charles sit at the side to rest for a while. Rica hunts a Shinigami that tracking her but her bag moving alone, "Why is my bag moving? Isn't..." Until she opens her bag "JELLO?!" Then she said "Ate Rica, I miss you so much!" But she falls him to ground and steps, she ask "Why are you inside in my bag?" Jello said "Because, Ate Rica I need to get inside to ensure your safety. I don't want to see that Charles guy!" Then Rica gone until she left Jello there, "Ate Rica, wait for me!!!!"
Meanwhile, Menchie and Angela talking and she asked to her why her mother was died, Angela tells his past with Charles "Since my family transferred here in Baesa last first quarter of 2003, I'd already joined at Karate club. I know Charles already since before I transferred here. I knew him weak, spoiled, skinny and always crying even he defeat or stumbling. His world was focused only in his mother because, he loves her and she take care him whatever happens. His mother knows me too, that time that her mother go to our club at Valenzuela so see Charles, I defeated him and she cried then ran to his mother. That I should noticed him that only his mother he love and center of his world. Then I add, Charles is always searching his mother, but the cause of her death is, Charles saw a young woman at the side of river then he wants to save her but her mother saves him and died. That's his past." Angela told about Charles and Menchie knows him already but she get pitty since he was young. "It's bad, his mother died. How could he stand up again if he remembers about this day, April 17."
Back then at the Eternal Gardens, they're visit their mother's burial ground, everyone cried except Charles that he said to his father, "Hey dad, are you such a dramatic king?" But, his tears are few shed then looking back and going at the the forest part until he sees Jello running. "Hey Charles! Rica has something hunt that Shinigami, help her! Then he grabs the gikon at Jello's mouth and orally swallow it to release his Shinigami soul and help her then "Let's save her!" They running to search her.
Rica has seen at the side of the lake part of Eternal Gardens, on bridge confronted with a man named Melvin Saidou, a Shinigami that told by an Onmitsukidou agent to track her. They've searched there by Charles with Jello at the Charles' body and confronting Melvin, "Hey, Shinigami guy! What do you want to Rica? Answer me??!" Then Melvin said, "Oh. Nothing but you don't care about us, are you the reason why Rica loses her Shinigami powers?" Then Charles commencing a fight against him that started, and Charles constantly asking "What did you want to her?!" Melvin answered him after he wounded Charles, "Do you want to know? Sure, I want to see what she does here, but regarding on her past that she's the princess of Kuchiki Clan but someone says that she's only an adopted child from Rukongai. And wants her to go back to Soul Society." He ask him "By whom?" and he said that he don't care what he asks. Then Charles slashed him at his left arm and only a shallow wound.
Then, in their mother's burial ground, a Hollow comes full of vines and eating womens' souls that attacked Gillian and Stephanie, Matthew needs help from anybody there but then no one around. Their fight has stopped when an order comes to Rica's denreishinki that a Hollow comes at their mother's burial ground. They've immediately run there and they see Gillian and Stephanie tangle. Matthew was helpless, and Charles wants to save them but stopped by Melvin and Rica because, that type of Hollow much powerful, and eating women souls. Charles wants to fight that and Rica told that Hollow kills her mother.
Isn't Charles go to fight it? Getting strategies from Melvin and Rica, Jello runs to Matthew to save him but he said, "No way, your sisters is in danger!" Rica casts a spell Hadou #4: Byakurai and Melvin attacks it. But less wound than they think before.
