Chapter 6 - Chapter 5: encounter Hollow

Hoshito: "You are Kurosaki Ichigo… the one who I heard about?" I say utterly.

Ichigo: "What, you heard about me?"

Hoshito: "Not really. I just heard that you beat five guys and sent them to hospital."

Ichigo: "Oh that? Yeah, I beat five guys, but they were beating my friend, so I fought to save him." — he says while scratch back of his head out of habit— "more important, are you the one who did this?" he adds pointing at punks who I beat.

Hoshito: "Ah these two idiots? Yeah, I did this. They came to me to get revenge on their little brother, and frankly I don't know who he is, and they seemed can't reason with, so I beat them up."

Ichigo eyes wide about my statement and looked around. The other students nodded their heads and agreed with me.

Ichigo: "I see… okay, just don't cause trouble here."

Hoshito: "sorry, I can't guarantee people would stop coming at me." I said with neutral expression.

Ichigo looked at me awkwardly. He can't deny the fact there's others who might come after me. He sighed and then turned his attention to white hair boy.

Ichigo: "And who are you? And what's your relationship with Ishia?"

Naoya: "My name is Ichimaro Naoya, first year… and my relationship with Ishida-Senpai is that I ranked second and he is the first, and I want to beat him."

Ichigo: "Ichimaro?!" Ichigo eyes wide.

My eyes wide when I heard him saying Gin's surname. Both me and Ichigo took us a moment of surprise until replaced with awkwardness. I could swear I saw a comical sweet dropped from Ichigo back-head, but I can't blame him since the feeling is mutual.

Naoya noticed Ichigo's surprise.

Naoya: "What, do you know someone with similar name?"

Ichigo: "well… yeah, there was one, but he is dead now."

Hoshito: 'That's right, Gin died by hands of Aizen… I didn't watch the Fake Karakura town arc, but I saw the clips of Gin betray Aizen and trying to take Hogyoku from him, but he failed and died.'

Naoya glanced at me for moment before he returned his gaze to Ichigo.

Naoya: "I see… oh well, this doesn't concern me, and I should take these idiots to nurse."

Naoya then lifted two punks and left the room with last glance at us. Ichigo scratched his head then turned to me wanting to say something, but he didn't. He left the classroom, and after few moments the teacher came to class.

Teacher: "hmm? Did something happen?"

Classmates/Hoshito: 'A lot of things happens and you missed it, Sensei…'

***

The bell rang announcing the last class end. The classes were neither bad nor good for me. I packed my things and went straight at gates desire to go home. While walking at the gate some students were glancing at a figure standing at doors of gate. The figure was little most likely same height as Japanese person or little.

I close to gate and see the figure clearly. I recognized the figure as one of Fullbringers who was with Ginjo. The Fullbringer noticed me and his eyes narrowed and uninteresting, but he approached me.

Yukio: "So, it's you. The guy Tsukishima told us about… he wasn't lying about your energy, it's different from other people and it's something I never felt it before."

My eyes wide and looked around us. The students murmured and glanced at us. Without taking any moment thinking I grabbed the kid's arm and left the school.

After few minutes we stopped after making sure we did not see the school. I released the kid's arm and glared at him.

Hoshito: "Why did you come to the school?"

Yukio: "greet, you don't have manners and rude at same time just like Riruka."

Hoshito: "I don't know who Riruka is, but I guess you are talking about the purple hair girl, right?"

Yukio: "Wow, you are not idiot despise your look." — He says with arrogant sound — "anyway Tsukishima told me to bring you to him."

Hoshito: "I see, did he told you to use force if I said no."

Yukio: "No, he told me you aren't kind of person to decline his invitation, and you want to find a why your energy is different from normal people."

My eyes narrowed after hearing that, knowing Tsukishima ability he might understand my personality from my memories. I scratched my head and sighed I told the kid to take me to Tsukishima.

Hoshito: 'First I will take care of that past manipulator bastard, then find out what am I.'

***

Yukio and I arrived at abandoned warehouse, and before we entered, I turned to the kid.

Hoshito: "Say, did Tsukishima told you everything about me?"

Yukio: "Not much, he only told us about your energy." He says while looking at me strangely.

We entered warehouse after that, and there was Tsukishima sitting there on bunch of boxes.

Tsukishima: "Hello Hoshito, we meet again."

Hoshito: "Hmph, I don't want to meet you, but I got no other choice. So, what do you want from me?"

Tsukishima: "Just testing something."

After he says that a scream came from above. I recognized the scream as well as both Fullbringers. A Hollow just appeared above us and went attacking me.

Hoshito: 'That bastard…! He knew about the Hollow!'

I managed to dodge the Hollow somehow. The Hollow looked around and then turned to me.

Hollow: "You, the guy who smells strange, why do I smell Hollow from you."

Hoshito: 'What did he just say…?!'
