Chapter 40: Bounts Pt 2

After the small fight at construction site we all retreated to Uraharas candy shop. My avatar sat looking at the group in front of me. I was surprised to see the former Kido Corp leader Tessai Tsukabishi. He gave those that had been present for the fight tea. Well besides my avatar who sat and took in all information.

"Extraordinary" Tessai said looking at my avatar

"What?" Ichigo asked

"This avatar, it seems to be part of Kakashi's soul with his mind and characteristics it seems to have the ability to fight, but also to collect data and when it is destroyed bring said data to its master" Tessai said looking it with analytic eye

"Thank you, now let us get back to the matter at hand" It said

"Yes, so Kakashi what did you think of our Bount adversaries?" Kisuke asked

"Experienced and seemed to be more as well, but where are they meeting?" It responded

"You can't just sniff them out or track them?" Ichigo asked

"I can't if my body was here certainly, but with this avatar my reach and power is limited"

"Do you know why they're doing this?" He asked

I began to remember, the Bounts had many reasons to go against the Soul Society. Their eradication, being seen as an ill to the world, and treatment.

"There was one reason"

Everyone had began to listen carefully.

"Long ago the Bounts came..."

Flashback

"Kakashi" Captain Kenpachi called out

"Yes sir?"

"We've got orders when you see the Bounts kill'em"

"What?"

"You heard me, we can't let them go runnin around killing people so we're ordered to kill them" he explained

I stood silent for a moment then nodded as Kenpachi smiled. We were then joined by a group of Quincy.

"You're here finally"

"When are they coming?" The Quincy commander asked

"Soon, be ready don't want any slippin away"

We all waited as the Bounts came there had to be twenty or more total. As they came in to a circle they could already feel something wrong.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"We have a counter proposal"

The Soul Reapers pulled out their blades and the Quincy began to fire at the Bounts.

Many attempted to escape though they couldn't make it out in time. Few fought back using their Dolls only for them to be overrun. Hours passed by as the screams were slowly silenced. I walked among the dead making sure none survived.

"They're all dead, we never talk about this Captain-Commanders orders" Kenpachi said

"Yes sir"

Present

"So only a few survived" Ichigo said

"The ones were facing might only be the last ones alive" My avatar responded

"Why were you meeting them anyway?" He asked

"The Bounts wanted to be absorbed into the Soul Society, but many were against it"

Ichigo sat thinking for a moment, as he looked at the ground.

"We need to stop them, before they do anything drastic" It urged

"So how do we do that?"

"First Soi Feng return to the Soul Society report to Captain-Commander, and then we'll go searching for the Bounts" it ordered

"Yes sir" she said breaking her ticket to open a Garganta

"Now we wait, go get who you need and report back" my avatar

Ichigo nodded as ran out Uraharas Shop. My avatar sat outside on the porch looking at the moon.

"Out here by yourself?" Kisuke asked

"It's nice out"

"You're still as boring as ever"

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Suppose not, so what have you been doing these pass years?"

"I became Captain, not a lot else"

"I heard about that from Yoruichi, congratulations" he said with a smile

"Thanks, but I was hoping to die as a Vice-captain" it explained

He just stared at me till a pair of footsteps came and he left. Then another familiar person sat down, wrapping her arms around my avatar.

"So you came to visit?" Yoruichi teased

"I guess you can call it a visit" it said

"So Soi Feng seems to have grown" she said holding tighter

"Yes she has"

"Did you teach her Shunko?"

"No, but she did need me for her training"

"I hope your 'training' was strictly professional" she teased a little tightening her hold

"It was"

"Good" she said with a smile

After a few minutes of waiting Ichigo had returned with his friends. After counting it had seen one was missing.

"Ichigo where is your Quincy friend?"

"He'll be here"

"Okay, now let's get this started Bounts have many hideouts or secret meeting areas" It explained

"All we need is the one they're hiding in" Yoruichi added

"Okay how do we do that?" Rukia asked

"We need to capture one of them, and have them take us to the others"

"And we find them?" Chad asked

"We need to take out their leader, before they start any plan they have in motion" it answered

We all stood outside, and split up into teams.

"Pack-Bildung"

My avatar had multiplied so they could keep in contact. Ichigo had also brought in a few modified artificial souls.

"Now let's go find them"

We all splintered off into different directions, we all began to look into abandon hideouts.

Ichigos Squad

Ichigo and Rukia ran just behind my avatar.

"Kakashi-sensei what technique is this?" Rukia asked looking at my avatar

"An ability I picked up, now let's hurry" it said

Chads Squad

Chad the tall human along with Orihime the shorter human followed my avatar.

"So mister Kakashi what are we looking for?" Orihime asked

"Old hideouts or even presence will lead us to them" it answered

Yoruichis Squad

"Do you know where these hideouts are? A lot has changed since last time" she asked

"They may have been built over, but there are some not found by humans" I confirmed

We searched every location I knew of or could remember. It took us about midnight till we caught onto something.

"What is it?" Yoruichi asked

I looked around see a small shack that stood on land a farmhouse that the Bounts once used.

"This is it, go tell the others"

"Fine" she said leaving quickly

I stood alone watching the shack carefully. Nearby stood a well it seemed to old as it was rusted.

"Look who it is"

"Yes, it's a dog"

Getting a closer look I saw two small boys. Twins obviously as they wore the same clothes.

"Bounts"

Flipping a bottle cap it stayed in mid air. The well began to shake as large amounts of water burst out. Forming around the bottle cap it took on a form.

"Kill"

"Him"

It charged at me with incredible speed leaping out the way in time. Redirecting itself to follow me leaping and dodging each attack.

"I need to tell the others"

As it struck my avatar as it flew towards a tree.

'Damn, using too much energy'

The twins approached it looking down.

"We'll kill this doggy"

As the water doll rose in height a flash blinded me as the bottle cap split in half.

"No!" They shouted as they began to turn old

"Kakashi!" Ichigo shouted as the others rush as well

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine"

An elderly chuckle was heard as one twin rised.

"It's too late, we have the Quincy and we will end the Soul Reapers" he said turning to dust

"What does that mean?"

"It means they plan to invade, with you friends help" it answered

"What?"

"I need to go I can't keep-"

My avatar then disappeared returning to me.

"This is getting troublesome"

AN: sorry for the long wait.
