~Chapter 2 - The Eccentric ~

Goku appeared in a different street and was met with the visage of a tall and lean young man in his teens with a crop of spiky orange hair atop his head dressed in large black robes whilst he held a comically large sword in his right hand. He looked to the right, coming eye to with a young girl dressed in white robes with red patched on the sleeves and shoulder areas. He watched as the girl spoke some words with the teen boy turning to face him as well. He raised an eyebrow, as he felt the same kind of energy from these two as he felt from his friend although there was an evil energy that lingered in the air as it slowly dispersed.

The saiyan then began making his way towards them, watching as they had curious gazes as to whether he could see them or not. "Heyy!" exclaimed Goku in greeting, before smiling as his eyes fleeted between each teen. A moment of silence passed between them all, as the teenaged duo glanced at each other, seemingly asking the same question as to who this guy was.

"Can he see us?" inquired Ichigo to the young girl, before glancing at Goku's battle ravaged form. Ichigo wondered if he was the same as himself, a poor passer-by who had been attacked randomly by Hollows because he apparently had a high Spiritual Pressure.

"Apparently so, if he said hi." replied Rukia from her position on the floor. She attempted to get into a standing position but stumbled back on to the ground with an 'ooof'. Exhaling loudly from her nose, she calmed herself before addressing the mysterious male. "Are you able to see us?"

Goku blinked twice whilst cocking his head a little, noting how this was the second time someone had asked him that question. It was certainly odd, considering he could clearly see them but then again it could be their weird energy that made them invisible to others. "Yeah, I can see both of you." from the closer proximity Goku noted how the boys attire was somewhat like the one his new friend wore, albeit with a few obvious differences.

Speaking of his friend Goku sensed that she was in the company of two individuals with similar energy to her although they were on the lower scale in terms of energy output. He sensed as they separated, with the mysterious energy signatures dispersing into thin air whilst his new friend began to move quickly towards where he had been before. 'Uh oh!' he mused, slightly panicking on the inside whilst appearing calm on the outside. "Well it was nice seeing you guys, but I have to go meet up with my friend. She promised me food!" the last part was said with so much enthusiasm that both Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other before laughing at Goku's expense.

Goku however looked on as he wondered why they were laughing. He hadn't said anything funny or anything that could be deemed funny unless they had a different way of viewing things in this universe. Shrugging he waited for them to finish laughing, all the while sensing his friend moving closer with every second that passed. Choosing not to waste anymore time he focused on the lingering energy of the last monster he had defeated before he flickered out of sight, causing the teens to abruptly stop laughing and glance at each other with wide eyes and many questions on their mind.

...

The Saiyan materialised back into the familiar surroundings that were the houses located on either side of the street he had been left in by his new friend. It was at this point that Goku realised he had never actually got her name, only knowing her as his new friend and he highly doubted that she would like to be referred to as new friend. Making a note to ask her name whenever she came back, he didn't have to wait for long as she landed back on the street lightly after hopping from one of the nearby roofs. "I didn't expect to find you still here."
