1 Chapter 1: Of Kuoh and Demons
[Kazui Kurosaki.]
"Kazu-Kun, are you sure you can take care of yourself?"
[Hair color, orange but dyed black.]
"I'm already 15 mom, plus it's not like I'm going anywhere that far, Kuoh Town is pretty close by, just 3 or 4 bus stops"
[Special ability?]
"Oi! Don't cause trouble now, hear me? I heard that school was just previously an all female school, I do-"
"I'm not a pervert dad"
All of the sudden, Kazui's cyan hoodie got engulfed by a black flame that resembles a Shihakusho, the sleeves fleeting like flame and a blade with the guard being in the shape of cross or manji appeared behind him, kept in place by a red thread that runs over his chest to the back.
"See ya' pops, mom~"
He flickered out of existence, not shocking his parents at all but did get their heads to shake in slight worry but mostly proudness.
[He's a shinigami]
TFF
Kazui appeared just right to the next street, behind an alleyway as his Shihakusho disappears and he's back to his cyan hoodie, he wore black jeans and black and white rubber shoes. He walked out of the dark alleyway and went with the flow of the civilians, before, he used to let his orange hair be orange and it attracted all sorts of attentions, some of them being his dad's former beat up toys that are now Yakuza and the sorts.
It's not like they're a big deal for him, but they wasted quite a bit of time.
He kept his hands to his pockets and walked with a stuck bubbly smile on his face, his features leaned towards his mother more but his eyes were weirdly more reddish than both his parents.
"Oh, hello there Kazui"
A soft voice called out to him, he looked towards the source and found burgundy hair styled into twintails locking arms with a blonde haired man.
"Oh! Auntie Riruka, Uncle Yukio~ hello too"
Kazui waved back at them and they started catching up to him and walking side by side. These 2 were friends of his dad's, both are fullbringers, people who's mothers were attacked by hollows before birth and gained some powers of their own.
"Where are you heading to? It's too early for school and you're not wearing school uniform so...are you going to Chad's gym again?"
Kazui scratched his head and shook it, he followed it by scratching his chin and sighing.
"I'm going to the hospital"
...
"Ar-"
He held out an outstretched palm to stop Rurika from assuming.
"I'm getting medical info and stuff you need to transfer schools. I'm actually going to Kuoh High, I've been accepted already but they needed some papers, so I'm going to the hospital"
"Oh, well, we're going to the mall so we'll split by the next traffic light, good day Kazui~"
He watched as Riruka dragged Yukio to the crosswalk and crossed the road, he then kept walking forward.
After a indiscernible amount of minutes, he arrived at a giant hospital, he heard that back then it wasn't as big but because of the current heir Uryu Ishida, the hospital grew to the point that it was one of the main hospitals in the world, noted for their particularity with crosses and white.
He entered the door and got assaulted by the heavy smell of antiseptics, but he paid it no mind and ignored the front desk lady. He went straight to the elevators and went to the top floor, the floor where the director resides.
Ping~
The smell of antiseptics disappeared and he kept his eyes trailed to the windows, observing the city from where he was.
"Hm? Kazui? Is that you?"
"Good morning Uncle Uryu~!"
He entered the room and saw his raven haired family friend, the Quincy Uryu Ishida. Who, privately, was also his power teacher and academic tutor.
(Recommended: OST Precipice of Defeat)
"Have you come to train with me again?"
"Nope! I came to get my papers"
Uryu laughed but it's tone shifted, slowly he turned quiet and fixed his glasses, the light from the window hiding his eyes.
"I'll give them to you if you tag me, use any movement technique you can"
He flickered out from the chair and appeared behind Kazui, patting his head with a finger on his glasses.
"Tag"
Kazui's Shihakusho came back and he flickered as well, appearing right beside Uryu but just as he prepared to touch him, Uryu disappeared, leg sweeping Kazui and making him fall to the ground.
"Unfair! I thought this was tag!"
"Make it a cooler version of tag, come on Kazui, you're better than that"
Uryu flickered and started appearing multiple times around the office, staying at one spot for barely a second before going, leaving after images that was only possible when done by masters of the movement art Hirenkyaku.
Kazui's eye trailed for Uryu but he failed the moment he blinked, by the split second of blackness, Uryu appeared behind him again and tapped his head with a light chop.
"Tag"
Kazui's face shifted to utter seriousness, his face resembling Ichigo's with the scowl and Uryu smiled a little, nostalgia apparent. Kazui on the other hand was focusing, his mind tapping into his Quincy side and Shinigami side, using the hints of Hollow he got from his fullbring powers, he opened his eyes, the red appearing to glow blue before he flickered, Uryu was not that shocked and moved to dodge but not even a moment after his nerves moved accordingly to the orders of the brain, a pair of hands touched him.
"Tag"
(OST End)
"Well done, that was pretty fast. Shunpo or Hirenkyaku?"
Kazui looked to the side, with a wry smile. He could not actually go and say that he combined 3 different movement arts, it would hurt his uncle's pride so he just quietly made a shrug.
"Well, that's what age brings to people, that's also why I'm proud that the next generation is as capable as you, smarter than Kurosaki and apparently faster than he was when he was 15, or faster when he wasn't in his old bankai.
Uryu went to his desk and took some papers in a folder before handing them out to Kazui, Kazui took it and smiled before walking away, leaving a wave as he closed the door.
When Kazui was surely gone from the floor, Uryu sat on his chair and removed his glasses, inspecting it and sighing. It was cracked, both his glasses and hands.
"The boy really is probably much stronger than his dad when Ichigo was 15, though, I guess it can be chalked up to actually being more experienced but still, good thing I didn't use Antithesis, Orihime's going to bite my head off"
TFF
Kazui decided to take the stairs back down, or technically, he felt it was faster than the elevator. Along the way, he felt a familiar feeling, the feeling of a fullbringer from a room near the 15th floor, he walked towards it and opened it.
"Hm? A visit- Oh, Kazui"
Kazui was shocked, the man in the bed with a sling was none other than his hand to hand teacher, Yasutora Chad/Sado. His face bubbled up and he smiled sweetly at the mixed race giant.
"Uncle Chad!~ Good morning! Why are you injured though?"
Chad raised an eyebrow and looked at his sling, he smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"Saved a suicidal person from jumping from a 10th story building, I'm glade no one asked why it was only an arm I hurt"
Chad looked at the arm and his black Shihakusho appeared again.
"Do you need some help healing that or are you waiting for mother?"
Chad shook his head.
"I'd rather not burden her too much, age is getting the better of us and who knows what will happen if we overuse them"
Kazui walked towards chad and drawn his sword.
"I'll heal you then, this'll hurt a bit"
And without much words, he stabbed the arm with his blade, it glowed orange and engulfed the arm in said orange energy that regenerated or technically, reversed the damage.
"This is my fullbring powers, not my Shikai, they both require the same medium. My fullbring is similar to mom's but it's more to the side of just reversing things, do you know Uncle Shinji? It's close to his but in a more conceptual way of things"
After a few seconds, Chad undid the slings and tested out his healed arm. He smiled at Kazui and ruffled his dyed black hair.
"You're too similar to your mom, I almost feel too sad for your dad"
Kazui smiled back and rubbed his nose.
"He actually feels better that I'm not too much like him, he says that he was a trouble magnet"
"That he was, that he truly was"
After a hearty chat, Kazui left Chad and moved on with his day. On the way down, he met and greeted some nurses that he knew and ignored the front desk girl again. Heading directly out of the hospital and heading towards the bus station, he carried nothing on him because all his things were already in his apartment at Kuoh. He moved them a few weeks back and he really only returned to Karakura because his mother wanted to smother him with love before he left.
"THIS BUS' NEXT STOP IS **** STATION"
"Guess that's you"
The bus door opened and he entered, taking a seat near the door so he could leave faster and rested his head.
TFF
Crap, it's now that I'm feeling nervous.
'Cruel. Feelings are way too cruel!'
I shifted my head a little to the side, enough that one of my eye can see through the window, apparently it started raining and I had no idea. My mind drifted to the movement technique that I created when I was younger and only really polished now that I was older.
Moon Blink, with the Getsu instead of Tsuki because Kurosaki's are weird like that. It's a movement technique that mixed 3 different ways of using reishi, reiryoku and reaitsu, first, the speed of the movement was taken from Hirenkyaku, meaning, instead of the usual using Reiryoku to move in the least amount of steps, I use the Reishi in the air and ride it, kind of like jumping on top of a car.
Second, the repeated usage uses Shunpo, in other words, I power up my legs with reiryoku and use it to move in burst, compared to Hirenkyaku and Sonido, Shunpo is notable for it's control, in other words, I can jump up, jump down, spin in circle around the enemy, spin counter clockwise, go in and out diagonally, and all of that while still fast.
Third, the distance uses Sonido, the hollows uses their instinct to move and I heard from some shinigami that it was originally created to escape them, therefore, compared to the other movement arts, Sonido has an emphasis on distance. It uses reiatsu to propel someone from one distance to another and that causes the static sound effect, because for one, the force used is the physical manifestation of reiryoku.
The fullbring movement art is just a inferior Sonido, without the noise and distance.
The reason I don't tell that to any other people is because of one thing, Sonido.
I learnt from that one time where I used to visit Auntie Hiyori about the Vizards and wondered what they were, my first few minutes of being exposed to them and I learned that I could use Sonido, albeit not exactly because I was a hollow, but more to the point that my fullbring powers absorbed the hollow reiryoku in there and essentially evolved.
My dad told me tales of his hollow side and from what I remember, I had no Albino me want to be a horse. But that fact that I could use Sonido was a secret, Hirenkyaku not so much but still a secret from my parents, I mostly use Shunpo when with them, and swore to never use Moon Blink near my dad, who can use those 3 as well because he would recognise.
And boy, the questions that follows.
The other thing to note is that my Fullbring isn't really just healing, I lied to Uncle Chad about it only being conceptional, my Fullbring works the same way as Uncle Shinji's Sakanade, only it can do so much more and without the need for the gas.
I could reverse the perception of others, I could reverse damage, I could reverse the path of reishi allowing me to cancel out attacks, and probably the most terrifying part of is that I could also reverse major concepts, in other words, take death for example, I could reverse it and so is with life allowing for very instantaneous kills, I could reverse gravity and reverse anti gravity, I could reverse speed, reverse slowness, I could even reverse the reverse, allowing me to cancel anything that I did.
But all of it requires me to at least touch what I want to reverse with my sword. The reason I stabbed Uncle Chad is because if I only touched him with the sword, only the skin will be reversed and the arm is still broken, I needed to touch all the way through his arm and reverse it.
It's already pretty powerful, makes you think that it was my Shikai. But in truth, I'm disappointed it was not. My Zanpaktou was something I swore to never use in the cover that I couldn't call upon the name of it, everyone believed so and that was for the best, after all, if even I can't appreciate it, who will?
The rest of the buses I rode were pretty tame, on one of them there was this blonde haired girl wearing nun-ish clothes that I bumped into and we shared a quick nod of apology before heading on.
"WE ARE NOW ARRIVING AT KUOH STATION"
I sat upright and stretched myself, yawning and cracking my neck, the door opened and as planned, I went out first and went to a dark alleyway to use my shinigami fullbring-ish powers and Moon Blink to my apartment building.
It was 4 story tall building and my place was in room 666, the stairs were clean and the whole building was kept tidy, as expected of something Uncle Uryu suggested. I didn't bother anyone else and went straight to my room, to the bed, and fell asleep.
Or tried to until my Zanpaktou came calling for me.
"Kazui, my son"
I opened my eyes and grunted, a familiar moonless night beside the lake, the ground was as black as the void and eyes littered everywhere.
"Almighty, what do you want?"
The man in the middle of the lake was wearing a tight Shihakusho, lots of eyes, red inner bits, the end was shredded and creepy just like how my own was but less flame-ish and more shadow-ish. His hair was orange and wavy, reaching towards his chin while his eyes were covered by the same black thing I was standing on complete with the eyes everywhere, he had most of my mom's features or it's face was basically me with a moustache.
"Why, is it taboo now to meet my own kin of spirit and body? As your zanpaktou, you are meant to use me, my son"
"Yeah, but I don't appreciate you calling everyone I know subjects. They're family and friends"
The spirit snorted, looking around us and suddenly using his black tendrils he moved or crawled or squishes towards me.
"A King has no friends, a King only has those who are under him and those who are against him, you are a KING! Know your true worth and rule this pathetic realm, you are my SON! YOU ARE THE NEXT SOUL KI-"
I didn't bother listening to him anymore and willed the black floor to cover him and encase him in there.
"SEE! YOU EFFORTLESSLY CONTROL MIMIHAGI! YOU CONTROL STILLNESS! YOU CONTROL REVERSAL, AND SOON YOU WILL CONTROL EVERYTHING! HAHAHA! YOU ARE THAT WHICH GOES AGAINST INFINITY! KNOW YOUR VALUE MY SON"
"If you don't shut up, I'll make you"
I don't know about this mimihagi thing nor will I bother to know, but if this black thing is supposedly related to him then it's better to use it against him. I controlled the black floor to encase him once more, into 7 layers and squeeze. Shrinking him into a tiny little eye shaped flicker.
"I hope that lasts for at least a few months"
I exited my inner world and woke up, eyes slowly reaching for my phone and seeing the time.
"I slept for 9 hours, damn, I didn't even eat dinner, now I'll miss my breakfast too, stupid Zanpaktou"
I stood up and headed for the shower, readying the uniform and anything else that I'll need for my first year of highschool.
TFF
I stood straight, watching students come and go, chatting with others and some were already making friends with the new students. A smile crept up to my lips, today, I can test my mom's infamous words.
"Strangers are just friends that you haven't met yet"
'And subjects'
...
I shook my head furiously, this type of side thoughts that appear mostly mean that my Zanpaktou was free again, and the most annoying part of this was that, he never freed himself this fast.
I ignored anything else and walked towards the entrance, unbeknownst to me that I was making the 'Strawberry Scowl', thus making the few others who wanted to speak to me inch away. This continued until I reached I reached the student council office, which I was told to drop my medical info to.
I knocked at the door 3 times and waited, observing the school that I missed before, it looked very fancy dandy, and absolutely something that screams 'rich and elite'.
'If this is how the halls looks like...'
I stared at the wooden door in front of me and gulped, I really hope they don't pay for stepping on the floor. I mean, those things looks far more expensive than my hoodie!
Cluck.
The door opened, what greeted me was a girl with silver hair, wavy and she seems a bit expressionless, yep, this one's definitely not going to my buddy buddy.
"Who might you be?"
"Kazui Kurosaki, 1st year transfer, I'm here to drop this papers that I was asked to procure in order to add necessary info to my...err, student files"
She squinted at me and leaned a little closer before holding out her hands...
'Does she want a handshake?'
I took her hands and smiled sweetly, sparkles emitting around us and she raised an eyebrow in reply.
"The files"
Oh. I know understand why my dad was a prude, girls are hard things to understand.
God forbid mom from hearing me call girls as things, I'm sorry, I meant beings.
"Ah, right, sorry, can I at least know your name?"
"I'm your upperclassmen, 2nd year Hanakai Momo, nice to meet you too"
Cluck.
Oh, great, I met a girl dad, she closed the door on me instantly. Huh, maybe I should undye my hair... I think mom mentioned she was initially attracted to dad because of it. Then again, it's not like a mom version 2.0 exists in this school. I flipped the entire situation out of my mind and walked towards my designated classroom, 1-A. Oh and I'm technically late but who cares, I was doing important stuff.
TFF
If there was something that Kazui did not realize immediately, it was the fact that Karakura Junior High and Senior High wasn't even remotely 50% as big as Kuoh High. And, instead of his initial excuse of being late for few minutes because of important stuff, he now has to say.
"Hello, I'm Kurosaki Kazui, I was late because I paid no attention to wherever I was and got lost, this school is bigger than the one I was in before despite technically being the first thing I should've realized, thank you for your time, oh and no, my hair is dyed"
Kazui stopped in place and dragged an arm to face palm himself. Followed by a loud groan and ending with him leaning into one of the corners and contemplating on skipping his first's day's first period.
He really was.
That was until his saviour came in the form of a white haired girl who tilted her head at the sight of him being socially inept.
"Oh, good morning, I'm a transfer student, Kurosaki Kazui, can you help me get to 1-A because I'm lost and probably late? Please?"
He scratched his head and smiled. Kazui did not know that his definition of being socially inept is being a natural social butterfly. Much like his mother.
The white haired girl nodded silently, emotion unchanging.
'Are all silver haired people just stoic or is it just my luck?'
Kazui counted from Toshiro to this girl who did not introduce herself.
"Wait, are you a middle schooler here? I haven't caught your name"
He followed the girl and held out his hands for a handshake. The girl, who was still looking as expressively as a plank of wood, stared at his arms but did so either way.
"Tojo Koneko, 1st year, same class"
Kazui's face brightened, too much so for Koneko who was being bombarded with plethora of emotions.
"Oh~!? Nice! Your a classmate!? That's honestly the best thing that- or well, the best person I could've met! Thank you fellow classmate! Koneko! Can I call you Koneko? No? I'll call you Tojo then!"
Koneko frowned, as a cat, her pride for having quick reflexes did not help her react to the bubbly boy in front of her that was still beaming far more brighter than the sun.
Koneko did not like him. He smelt of something foul but she kept that to herself, she chucked it into the boy just being different than what his persona presented, she knows because she met and suffered from one herself.
They went past a bunch of rooms and settled into one, a door with the sign board stating '1-A', they both entered and were greeted with a lot of eyes on them.
"Ah! Welcome our late trans...well, one transfer and the other is Koneko-chan"
Koneko nodded and took her seat, Kazui however had to introduce himself to everybody as punishment because he missed the initial introductions.
He walked to the board and wrote his name, then he looked towards everybody and smiled, picture perfect bubbly cheery kouhai image and all that his mother was a master of, this cemented his position among the girls as the 2nd best boy.
Yuuto was undefeatable because he was blonde.
"Hello~! My name is Kurosaki Kazui! I hope you take care of me~"
The teacher was apparently satisfied and showed him his seat which was, ironically, next to Koneko.
He took it and glanced at Koneko who was still looking like a plank of wood.
"I guess we're fated to interact together, huh? Sorry, don't mind me, I'm usually not the talkative one, but see, my childhood friend Ichika wasn't visiting as frequently as before, so I had no one to talk to but grown ups and that utterl-"
"Please be quiet"
Kazui took the signal and looked away.
'Mom, dad, the 2nd girl I talked to and she told me to keel over and die to a hollow'
Kazui already knew how bad his days will be if this continued on, after all, black hair? Scowly face? Tall? He was a beacon for loners! He could only cry at his ineptitude for socialism.
TFF
Lunch break was upon him, Kazui was attentively looking at everyone, trying to find a good friend, if anything was inherited by Kazui from his father, that would be the will to go on even if he was stabbed by a thousand Zangetsu.
At bankai.
Enhanced with Getsuga Tenshou.
Ignoring his thoughts, he made sure to find someone. Somebody. Something. No scratch the last bit, he really only meant the first 2.
And by the Gods was he lucky! A very cool looking person came to him and gave him a tiny smile, he had blonde hair and a mole, err, beauty mark.
"Hello, I heard that you were helped by Koneko-chan recently, you're a new transfer?"
Kazui and the mystery handsome boy observed each other, the former was trying to find out if he should call him senpai or not, while the latter was observing if Kazui was something else not normal.
"Senpai! My name's Kurosaki Kazui, 1st year, seatmate of Tojo-san"
He held out his hands, the blonde boy seemed to be finish observing him and shook hands.
"Kiba Yuuto, 2nd year, club member of the Occult Research Club"
Saying that bit of information was Kiba's way of knowing if someone was supernaturally aware, why? Because most of those who does would have a knowing reaction to the 'occult'
Kazui did not react.
Kazui was now a good in Kiba's books.
Unknown to him that Kazui was thinking about something entirely different.
'Do they have ghost sucking vacuum machines in there? That'd be pretty...cool, I guess'
Truly Orihime's son.
"That's cool, so, do you have any recommendations for food here senpai?"
Yuuto smiled and placed a hand on his chin, both not knowing the amount of attention they have received just from talking to each other.
"I'd say the tempura and fried rice is a good combo, if you can afford it, you can also add dango as a desert"
Lunch period was spent joyfully by 2 boys who had found kinship, and ecstatically by a remote few...girls.
TFF
It was now the last period for my so-so first day at school, I met a new boy friend... That might sound horrible but I needed to designate him as such, the 2 others I talked to are 2 silver haired females and finally, some people who tried to threaten me but failed when they found the floor heading for their faces.
They were called the perverted trio and the glasses guy who was a mockery of every glasses wearing people I knew, tried to grab me, a little forcefully so my body, trained in Zankensoki, did as reflex stated and flipped him into the ground. I softened the fall but the crash in pride was damaging.
I mean, he was a senpai.
I made a mental note to say sorry tomorrow and try befriending the normal looking out of them all. Coincidentally, normal looking only applied for the looks since I felt something dormant inside him, it was so faint that if I wasn't very sensitive to things supernatural it would've gone past my senses. Thank you Pesquisa and Uncle Uryu.
Other than those, the day was peaceful.
Riiiiing~
The bell rang at last, the day was over and I could not feel any giddier. I was nearly the last person to exit the room and when I did, I was ambushed by a silver haired senpai who pulled me into some corner.
Oh, giddy is gone now. Sad potato Kazui.
"Are you gay?"
Oh, now giddy is never coming back if I didn't fix this situation.
"Excuse me? Hanakai-senpai?"
She held me tighter with a very threatening look, I was not necessarily afraid but there was something about her that turned me off.
"Are you gay? Why are you getting close to Kiba-kun? Which team are you swinging from? Are you straight?"
"No, because he was the one male who talked to me first and did not threaten to bite my head off, I'm swinging at the proper side, yes"
She breathed a sigh of relief and let me go, walking away as if nothing literally just happened.
Mom, dad, the 2nd time I conversed with a female she pegged me as gay. I'm currently thinking of just going to Karakura high like any Kurosaki would.
I'm sorry I ever thought of leavi-
A massive amount of reiatsu interrupted my thoughts, no, this was...
Something near a captain level of reiatsu but it's also very...un shinigami-ish. It's cold like Toshiro's but very, very hectic and oozing with bad stuff. I didn't diddle around the corners and the 'Strawberry Scowl' came back, walking fast towards the direction it came from.
It emanated from the room of the student council, just what is it? Should I report this to Soul Society? But it's not...threatening, in fact that Reiatsu was very giddy and happy?
Oh...
The whole student council was...they have the same...what?
I mixed all my sense with a touch of Pesquisa and tried to extend it to all of the town.
...
Wow. This place was swarming with many not human reiatsu. How did I miss all these? I tried digging deeper into one of the signatures, one with a very water like feeling, it had the emotions of embarrassment and love. Familial love.
It was protected by something very malicious. Something that weirdly turned out to shape a chess piece, it was red and very, very much oozing with evil, heck you could dub it as an evil chess piece.
Apparently, that thing shielded them from prying ordinary supernatural senses, but the sudden arrival of that cold reiatsu thing surpasses the evil thing's protection momentarily but got over it so I had to use my utmost to even touch the surface.
I sighed, taking out my soul phone to report but decided to hold it off later, give it a few weeks of observation. If they are a threat, I'll call my dad and Soul Society to wipe the filth off this...
I shook my head.
"I need to seal him, his influence is oozing into my thoughts"
I walked out of the school and headed straight for my apartment, to the bed, and closing my eyes.
TFF
"Welcome back, my son in spirit and body"
"I'm not your son, I'm not a stupid Zanpaktou's son, do you even have a wife?"
"I do not need such things to create a kin"
"Then it's not of body, of spirit probably but not body"
Almighty smiled and shook his head.
"Someday, in the future, you will understand, you will know that to be my son in spirit and body means you are destined to be the King of this wor-"
"Shut up"
I commanded the floor to wrap around him, this time adding a bit of my everything to layer his seal up to 100, at least this one should last a whole month.
I hope.
"You're just a stupid Zanpaktou"
With those last words, I returned to reality.
TFF
I woke up, dead in the middle of the night, hungry, so I took the liberty to check if there was something cookable. I took the cup noodles in the cupboard and heated up some water, it was simple but sufficient for now, I'll go shopping tomorrow.
I went out of my apartment and decided to have a quick tour throughout the town, well, one part of it. The town was very much not a town, but it was and held the feeling of town-ish aura. If there's one down side to this, it was the paranoia that the place reeked of evil disturbed me quite frequently, the feeling that every corner had something evil was always present and even worse was the fact that I knew it wasn't just baseless paranoia.
"Uwah!~ What's this tasty handsome treat walking at the dead of the night? Is it my lucky feeding day? Gehehee"
See? Someone wants to eat me now. I probably shouldn't be too lax about it but I really doubt something as... weak as that could hurt me, it's not arrogance, it's just that I've seen many hollows with the same level of thinking and speech that it almost gets boring instantly if they don't speak like Auntie Nel. She's an arrancar by the way, Kurosaki's have a broad range of family friend's.
"Good evening monster-san, can I ask you a quick question?"
The thing that appeared out of the alleyway was a squid looking mixture of swarming juices, it was barely humanoid but close enough, it seems to be smiling at me.
"Oh? Why are you calm? Perhaps you know of us Devils? Don't compare me to those rule abiding weaklings, I'm free! Free to eat and be the Devil that we always have been! They preach peaceful coexistence and rely on those wish papers, but I had enough! I will eat humans, because the reason I even agreed to be reincarnated is to b-"
I went into Shinigami mode and Moon Blinked to his back, holding out a hand and shifting it into an index point.
"Bakudo #61 Rikujokoro"
A beam of yellow light shot out of my index and then 6 beams of light slammed into the mid section of this monster-san's body.
"Wha-?! WHAT IS THIS! UNHAND ME YOU MORTAL...NO WHAT ARE YO-"
"Sho"
One of his tentacle-y arms blew off.
"ARGHH! STOP! STOP!"
"Sho"
And then one of his tentacle-y legs blew off.
I then pointed an index at his forehead, with a smile, I tilted my head.
"A-As-Ask! Please! Ask me anything!"
"Great! Okay, monster-san first thing's first, what are you?"
"I-I'm a Devil, a reincarnated Devil!"
"Mhm, Sho"
And his other tentacle-y arm blew off.
"ARGHHHH! WHY? I ANSWERED!"
I gave him a deadpan look and sighed.
"Reincarnated Devil, really?"
"But, But that's what I really am! They use this evil piece, red chess piece like things and insert it inside us to revive as Devils! It's their way of increasing numbers! The Devils!"
"...Huh?"
This was now a waste of time, I relayed my conscience on top of my mind and decided if I should kill him with my Zanpaktou or kill him with Hado.
"Say, do all you Devils eat humans?"
"H-Huh? Not all of us, those weakling use this shitty papers that makes people treat us like Gacha and we suck a part of their soul, it's too little but add them enough and we can increase in power slowly, I-I didn't want that so I... became a stray devil, a stray devil eats huma-"
"Sho"
Takes souls? Eats humans? Is still babbling about reincarnation and whatnot? Yeah they're not hollows either so Hado it is.
The irony is not lost. I used the Demon Way against a Devil.
I stood up from my crouching position and dispersed my Shihakusho, this day wasn't at productive as it was supposed to be. That monster-san looked a little off in the head so he was not a viable source of info, and, if they've been eating humans, it weirdly lacks a abundance of pluses.
"Or, when they feast on humans, they eat the souls as well?"
Still, how did they escape Hell? Was it those evil piece things? Did those allow escape from Hell like a garganta? So much questions, so little answers to ask from. Or little answers to get the truth from that is not a little off in the head.
I went back to my apartment, nothing happened on the way, just some more of those crazy monster-san, most are weak enough to die to a combo of Sai and Sho, some needed a bit of my Hakuda to settle into place and a slightly powered Sho.
"This town is crazy, well, I guess it's part of being a Kurosaki and Inoue to be in the middle of something crazy in a town that's related to the supernatural, what a bad combo, I'm like the personification of trouble seekers, I don't make them so I find them"
I laid back at my bed and closed my eyes. Tomorrow was in a few hours. School was a bit more than that. And a week after today...
This town was getting purged.

In the windy rooftops of Kuoh, there sat a very indecently dressed black haired little girl who stared at the apartment of Kazui, this was of course none other than the dragon of infinity, Ophis. Who for several reasons was very much attracted to the kinship she felt from Kazui, who by all means was also a offspring of infinity, albeit slightly...different but still infinity. She was very confused as to how she had a younger brother but all of that was not really the reason why she was outside of her dimension gap.
Yes, she was outside of her home.
And with that came her loss of silence.
And with the lost of her silence came people wanting her help.
And with people wanting her help came their empty promises, it was empty but it was still better than having nothing to do apart from wishing the big red thing out of her home.
And all those eventually led her to the human realm, which for all intents and purposes, was louder than 100 Big Red's.
Oh, the horror.
Her mind drifted to her kin once more, she nodded her head slightly and in the next moment, disappeared.
That nod was just her way of saying, hello. It was something that only the Zanpaktou inside Kazui was able to notice and respond to.
"Why, hello as well living realm version of Pernida, I'm afraid Mimihagi wasn't present or rather he wasn't conscious and is only dormant while following the future Soul King's will, give it some time, someday, the King will rise once more, perhaps the day that he accepts me as his Zanpaktou, but it will come nonetheless, good evening as well"
With that, the day finally ended.
