Chapter 9: A unforgettable sight


The siblings continue their way through the streets. As they continue running, Jasmine asked, "Ichi, do you think it's a trap?" 

The orange teen looked at his sibling with a positive feedback. It really does seems out of place that the siblings would go into a unknown force, as he replied, trying to ease the tension, "Maybe. But what else is new?

Jasmine, we are soul reapers, remember, it would be not uncommon for a spirit would cause chaos sometimes. Or we might deal with a hallow. " 

Jasmine was amazed by his calmness. It's like this sort of thing is like his second nature, like he knew something weird might happen or that it was his natural duty as a soul reaper . 

Jasmine thought, "I can't believe that this is the same Ichigo. I know that i wasn't part of his life growing up, but this is brand new to me, like i'm seeing how much his personality had truly changed since i last saw him." 

As then as the siblings came around the corner, the people around them stopped in motion. 

"What's going on?" Jasmine asked, as that Ichigo said, "I don't know, but we better get into our Shinigami forms right away." 

He took out his symbol crest to transform, as Jasmine saw it for the first time. "What's that?"

"A gift from the Gotei 13 . I've got this a while back. It is a way that the counsel to keep a close eye on my powers. " He explains. 

She was skeptical, as she asked, "From the Gotei 13? What the heck did you do to deserve that from?"

Ichigo seems to be flushed of the question as if the memory was not something to be discussing about. 

Both of them went to their Shinigami forms as that it was revealed to be indeed a hallow causing massive corruption. 

"Let me." Jasmine said, as she lunges for an attack straight on, as she did, she was saved by her brother. 

"Sis, you got to think in a strategic level. Charging into battle isn't going to work with this type of Hallow. " Ichigo said, as she gets up, as she asked, "Oh, like how you propose? Ichi, i am the older sibling." 

"I know that! But this type of thing is way more intense than you think, trust me on this." He pleads as the Hallow yelled out, "Talking all alone? How funny considering that you are Soul Reapers who couldn't think of a plan!" 

That tiggers the teen off, as that Jasmine sees that her brother is going into his Bankei mode. 

"Ichi, wait a second!"

He didn't listen to her, as he wanted to protect her. "I've lost Jasmine once because i wasn't strong enough to protect her. 

I was little and unprepared back then, now thanks to my friends and family, I am not going to lose her again!" 

As the fight continues, someone was watching them from the distance. It was Asuka with Eric in tow standing by his side. 

"How intimating . This is what a son of a former Captain can do. This is giving me so much tension and excitement . 

I have a slight idea of what to do with him. Come along, my puppet." He said. 

As the fight ended, Jasmine couldn't help it, but felt uneasy. She went inside the household to see Karin and Yuzu. 

"Hey, you guys." She greeted her younger sisters as Karin notices her being sad and needed her. "Hey, Jasmine. What's going on? " 

She sat down with her sisters as she told them what had happened. "Oh, you feel like there was so much you don't know about Ichigo huh?" Yuzu asked. 

She nods, "Yeah, i just don't know how to interact with him anymore. Even though i wasn't there growing up, i feel nothing like a burden for him. " 

"It's not like that at all, Jasmine. You're not a burden, it's just he has some... delicate feelings about people he cares about." Karin explained. 

"Yeah, as much i see, Ichigo really cares not just us, it's all of the people who helped him along the way. 

I'm sure that you two would be close again, just like it should be ." Yuzu reassures her older sibling. 

She never had such a compliment or encouragement before from the sisters she never knew about. 

"Thanks for hearing me out. I'm glad that we're sisters." 

"Hey, it's all good." Karin said, beaming at her, as then, a call came up, it was from Lily from the Soul Academy! 

"Lily! What a genuine surprise. How did everything go with Eric? Did you tell him about me going  to the Human Realm for a while?"

"Yeah... about that. Something happened while you've been away. Eric.. he's been reported missing." 

"You're kidding! Is this some kind of joke?" She asked, being nervous about her parent figure in the Spirit Realm. 

"Wished i was. The members of Gotei are here investigating as we speak. I think you both have to come back here. " 

"Ok, i'll go get Ichi and our father. " She ended the call as she sighs. "Why this have to happen while I was with Ichi?

Was it Asuka? If it is him, i'm afraid of what he'll do next."
