BLEACH: The Dusk In Red

Hoodie quickly grabbed Yukiko's sword wielding arm, and disarmed her. At the same time, throwing her onto her back. The hollow reached out to grab the desperately escaping Kai, and there was nothing that Mikoto could do but watch.

Then a blurry figure fell from the sky, crashing on top of the hollow killing it instantly, while also creating a massive dust cloud. As it cleared, it revealed an individual with slick back red hair, who wore the Karakura high schools uniform around his waist. He carried an oversized iron club on his shoulder.

Mikoto seeing him made a surprised complexion,

"Jinta-Senpai???"

He stuck his pinkie finger in its corresponding ear, before pulling it out and blowing on it.

"That wasn't very cool", Kai thought.

He slowly approached hoodie while pointing his iron-club at him.

"OI, Yukiko. If Ururu finds out I let you get beaten like this, she's really going to give it to me ya know?"

"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, JACKASS."

Jinta was taken aback from her words. He had been sleeping on the roof, until some of the stray debris hit him on the head.

"I was-- uhhhh."

Struggling to come up with a fake answer, he charged towards the hoodie while raising his mace above his head. He jumped up high before swinging it downwards with tremendous force. A faint green light erupted from hoodies, feet as it pulsated through the ground almost like a ripple. It pushed him away allowing him to dodge the attack which annihilated the ground around him.

Jinta swung his weapon at the hoodie, however he avoided it once more with that strange green light power.

"That light looks familiar? Where did I see it again???"

While Jinta struggled to recall his memories, a crowd of students began to swarm out of the school building. Along with numerous fire trucks gathering near the school gates.

The hoodie seeing this cracked a smile,

"It seems that our little play time is over. I'll be seeing you two again in let's say, the next month or two?"

This time he ascended into the sky with his power before disappearing into the horizon.

"GET BACK HERE.", Yukiko shouted but Jinta commended her.

"It's pointless chasing after him now. If he is what I think he is, then catching up to him right now would be impossible. I can't even sense his spiritual pressure anymore."

He turned around and saw Kai whose chain of fate had been severed, and then looked at Mikoto whose chain was still attached to his body. he delivered a sharp gaze at both of them before turning back to Yukiko.

"Grab the macho mans body. I'll take the blue kid."

"Blue kid...", Kai had been reduced to but a hair colour.

A couple hours later, the Sky had already turned dark. The group now stood Infront of an ordinary looking esoteric era Japanese looking store, although it had a massive sign above it that said written in Kanji,

"Urahara Shop." Kai said, "What an original name."

Jinta carried both his unconscious body and large mace along with Yukiko who carried Mikoto's. Kai desperately wanted to ask Yukiko about what was going on, and about her ghostly form that seemed invisible to normal humas aside from Jinta. However he couldn't find the right place to fit it in.

Before the group even approached the shop its doors slid swung open revealing a girl with light blond hair at a shoulders lengths who possessed a slight bust. In her arms she carried a mountain of sweets as she approached the two.

"Oh, Ginta. It's been a while hasn't it? This group is quite large? You even brought some plus souls."

"HEYYYY, MY NAME ISN'T GINTA IT'S JINTA!"

A hard fist then crashed into his skull followed along with manly beckons,

"WHO SAID YOU COULD SHOUT AT KUROSAKI'S SISTER LIKE THAT??"

Jinta turned around to argue with the person who dared to hit him like that, but was met with the intimidating appearance of the apron bearing former Kidō Corps commander, Tessai Tsukabishi. Seeing him, he quickly turned around and bowed to Yuzu.

"I'm sorry for shouting.", he said mopingly.

A man who hid his face behind a folding fan appeared behind Yuzu. Despite his best attempts to conceal himself, his notable dark green and white bucket hat made him stick out like a sore thumb.

"Yukiko? You brought back quite the crowd."

"So you're going to just pretend that I don't exist?"

Tessai quickly grabbed onto Jinta, causing him to drop both his weapons and Kai's body. He was then planted head first into the ground making him fall unconscious in the earth.

"That was a bit much wasn't it?", Yukiko remarked.

The man in the bucket hat walked over to the collapsed body of Kai, while its owner stood firmly next to it. He rubbed the bandage wrapped around his neck and then flinched. He quickly put away his fan, revealing his short messy blonde hair and chin stubble.

"Tessai.", the bucket hat said. "We need to move quickly."

Understanding his words Tessai quickly picked up Kai's body before escorting it into the shop. Yukiko made a worrisome face when she asked,

"Hey, what's going on? It's still possible to put his Konpaku back in his body right?? Answer me Kisuke Urahara!"

Inside the shop, Kai and Mikoto's body were dumped next to each other on tatami mats. Kai whose chain of fate had been severed could only sit next to it while staring at himself, while Yukiko was incredibly stressed. In the corner of a room, was a stuffy cat bed which housed a black cat who laid asleep inside.

Mikoto sensing the tension said while rubbing his chin,

"My face is rather handsome when looking at it in person rather than in a mirror..."

This didn't help. 

Kai tried to reach out his arm to try and comfort Yukiko, however seeing his own translucent arm, he quickly withdrew it.

"Would any of you mind explaining what's going? And Yukiko, what's with that outfit you're wearing.", Mikoto asked.

Suddenly Tessai and Kisuke returned to the main room while holding a variety of random plants and drugs. The two placed them down on the ground in-between the two bodies, before Tessai left, leaving the four alone.

"Before we start, I guess I'll answer your questions before we start fixing things. So who'd like to go first?"

Mikoto immediately raised his hand and asked,

"Who was that guy who attacked us? And that thing he brought with him. It killed several students, and even pulled out these weird things from their bodies."

As Urahara answered his question, he began to stuff some of the herbs and plants from the tray and stuff them into Mikoto's original physical body's mouth. 

"That person who attacked you isn't someone I'm familiar with. He's only started causing issues within in the last 5 months or so, ever since Yukiko here became a stand in substitute soul reaper. As for the monsters you saw, they're called Hollows."

He pointed at both Mikoto's and Kai's chains,

"Those chains which you have on your body are called chains of fate. Those are the only things that keep your Konpaku, or I guess a soul connected to your Kishi physical bodies. Once those snap and fully erode, both of you will turn into Hollows. Beings who lack hearts and as a result, try to fill that emptiness with the souls of other humans. Once they turn there is no way for them to return back into who they once were."

Kai gripped his broken chain stood up, a horrified expression drew up on his face.

"So what does that mean for me then?? Does that mean, I'm going to become one of those things??"

Kisuke then pulled out a plain wooden walking stick from his Hoari and strongly poked Kai in the forehead.

"OWWW-- WHAT WAS THAT FOR??"

"I'd watch your manners if I were you. I'm trying my best to help you out here so I'd do your best to calm down. Especially with what comes next."

Kisuke put his hands over Mikoto's body, and began to chant:

"Heart of silver, black mountain, eyes of the beholder, materialise and repair, bounds between the self."

A faint green light emitted from his hands. It was not at all the same light as the one which the hooded student emitted as this one was much more calm and serene unlike the violent and subjugating force which the other possessed.

As it continued to glow, the chain which connected Mikoto's body to his soul began to shrink, eventually even pulling his Konpaku back into his body. 2 seconds after he was fully absorbed ,Mikoto's body awakened as he coughed up the herbs which Kisuke shoved in his mouth moments prior.

"Since your chain of fate was still connected, I was able to shove your Konpaku back into your body, using some simple Kido."

While Mikoto struggled to clear his breath, the loud noise caused the black cat which rested within the cat bed to awaken. When it climbed out it complained as it said,

"What with all this noise?"

Kai and Mikoto's eyes both stared in confusion as they shouted,

"Did that cat just talk??"
