Hoshito: "So let me get this straight… You two are Shinigami and came to investigate what happened in my house."
Rukia: "That's right, we detected strange traces of reiatsu, and we got orders to check on it."
Hoshito: "I understand that, but what I don't understand is why two Shinigami came here?" I said, looking at them straight while sitting across from them in the living room.
Renji: "We already explained to you; there is a chance that unknown reiatsu is involved in here!"
Hoshito: "And that's what bothers me, what is that unknown reiatsu you are talking about?"
Renji wanted to shout again, but Rukia stopped him. She looked at me with a cold expression.
Rukia: "This is classified information, and we can't share it with you. Please understand that."
I rubbed my head and told them I understood it was classified information and I wouldn't push it further. But I got a hunch they are talking about V.
Then they asked some questions about what happened and told them everything except V's appearance and his name.
Rukia: "I see, then that Quincy guy appears and fought all of those Hollows Alone?"
Hoshito: "Nope, I fought alongside him." I said casually.
Renji and Rukia looked at each other and turned to me with surprised expressions and disbelief.
Renji: "You are saying you fought alongside the Qunicy?"
Hoshito: "Yep."
Renji: "But you are human?"
Hoshito: "I turned into Shinigami on the same day those Hollows attacked out of desperation and to protect my sister."
Renji/Rukia: "Ehhhhh?!"
Both of them were shocked by and threw many questions, and I couldn't answer them all. Then the door rings, and I excuse myself to look to see who it is.
Hoshito: "Who is it?" I said while opening the door.
Urahara: "It's your lovely and friendly candy shop owner who came to visit you~~" he said while smiling and playing with his fan.
I immediately shut the door in his face. I told him to get lost, but he didn't, and I don't want to be rude in front of those, so I let him in.
When his eyes fall on both Shinigami, he playfully smiles.
Uarahara: "If it isn't Kuchiki-San, and Abarai-Kun. What kind of business are you doing here?"
Both of the Shinigami were surprised when they saw him.
Hoshito: "They both came to investigate the hollow attack and were mostly trying to find the Quincy who helped me."
Urahara: "Hmmm~ I see…" he said while looking at Rukia's eyes as if hinting something to her.
Hoshito: "Anyway, what's the reason you are here? And don't play any games with me." I said while glaring at him.
Urahara: "Ooh~ I only came to see you since you never visit my shop~."
Hoshito: "Get to the point already."
Urahara then took something from his pocket and threw it to me. It was soul candy with a dog head on it.
Urahara: "I just wanted to give you this one to help you when hollows attack again."
Renji immediately jumped from the chair and pointed it at me.
Renji: "Wait, second Urahara-San! Why did you give soul candy to this human?! And who exactly is he?!"
Uarahara smiled and put his fan to his mouth and came closer to me.
Urahara: "Well, this kid is actually Ichigo's Clone."
Rukia/Renji: "Whaat?!"
Hoshito: "Don't say untrue stuff to others!!" I said while smacking his head.
In this chaotic scene, Rukia and Renji were speechless and couldn't proceed with things. Luckily for them, Rukia's phone buzzed, telling them a Hollow had shown up.
Both of them wanted to know what was going on, but they knew they needed to take care of Hollow first. They left the room in a hurry.
Urahara looked at me, studying me.
Urahara: "Aren't you going to help them?" he said calmly.
Hoshito: "No, it's not my job to kill those monsters."
Urahara: "I see, then it's not your job to make this place safe for your family?"
My eyes narrowed after he said that. I knew what his intentions were, and I don't want to go as he planned, but at the same time, I can't let this place be dangerous to my family when they visit me.
I left the house and ran towards Rukia and Renji to follow them, and left Urahara alone.
Urahara: "Now then, isn't the time for you to show up, Mr. Quincy?"
***
Rukia and Renji arrived at the place where the hollow appeared, and the hollow was smaller than normal Hollow size and larger than human size. Both of the Shinigami planned to surprise-attack the hollow, but a loud voice stopped them.
Hoshito: "Hey, you! The hollow guy!" I was shouted at from the left side of the hollow.
I was already wearing shihakusho and put my zanpakuto on the left side of my hip.
Renji: "What the hell is this idiot doing?!" he shouts it with a confused expression.
Rukia: 'He turned into Shinigami for real!' she thought with a puzzled expression.
The hollow turned toward me, looking at me with angry eyes. I draw my blade and assume a fighting stance. When the hollow throws his punch, I dodge it and strike his legs. One of his legs fell, making him kneel, and the other Instinet regenerated.
Hoshito: 'Damn it, this regeneration ability is annoying.'
Suddenly, Renji strikes down the Hollow without effort. The hollow body started to fade into black dust. Renji turned to me with an angry expression.
Renji: "Hey! Why the hell did you reveal yourself to the hollow?!" — he screams at me, and his face was close to mine — "don't you know this is the worst way to kill a Hollow?!"
Hoshito: "Stop shouting at me! You just took down the hollow, and I didn't show my skills!"
Renji: "That's because you are a fool who didn't see the hollow was going to hit you with his head!"
Rukia: "That's enough, Renji!" she said while coming down to us.
She approached me with disappointment look in her eyes.
Rukia: "You. You shouldn't fight Hollow Head on before getting any skills."
Hoshito: "Oh yeah? Well, sorry for that, but unfortunately, I don't trust you." I said sarcasm.
Renji was about to punch me, but Rukia stopped him.
Rukia: "You seem to overestimate yourself, you should know we can sense your reiatsu," she said while giving me cold eyes — "and we sensed that your reiatsu is weak and can't fight a hollow head on."
Hoshito: "I see, but you guys mistook something; this isn't the size of my reiatsu."
Rukia: "What do you mean?"
Hoshito: "All this time, I was subconsciously suppressing my reiatsu."
Rukia/Renji: "What?!"
