Chapter 4- To kill a Mockingbird
"…I know sister everything is hidden in this box, right…? In this jade box passed down from our mother…' 'Give me the box sister Marianne NOW!' 'No! We mustn't open the box! Francois! No!"
"HEY what are you doing!!?" Ranma shouted walking up behind Rukia. She was reading a manga on a bench in the park.
"y-y-you fool! Don't surprise me!! I'm studying modern speech!" she said startled
"huh studying modern speech? Your making me train wile you relax and read a horror manga!? Were did you get that form anyway?" Ranma shouted
"well… your done with the training?" she asked
"hitting 1000 pepper filled balls right? Yeah I'm done. But breaking open 1000 pepper filled balls, what kind of training is that? Plus were did you get this weird pitching machine." Ranma pondered
"You fool the peeper filled balls were only the bad ones!"
"Bad balls?"
"YES!"
"….."
"….." "you didn't just hit all of them" she asked
"Yeah"
"You fool how many times did I tell you to only hit the balls that had a picture of a head on them! What did you think this training was for!!?" Rukia shouted
"I don't know what its for! Plus how the hell can I make out which of your pictures are heads and which are not!" Ranma yelled holding up two similar balls
"Listen! A hollows weakness is its head if you slice the head you can kill it in one hit this training is so that you can accurately hit the head in any situation!" Rukia said in a serious tone.
"Why do I have to do that? I've been beating them fine so far." Ranma said smugly
"well have you once defeated a hollow in one hit. Sneaking up and defeating a hollow in one is the basics of fighting them! It's a miracle tat you have remained unscratched so far from the way you've been fighting!" She yelled
"Um… attacking from behind? How can I fight so dirty like that?" Ranma asked
"you fool! Save that stuff for fights against humans! Your opponents are hollows! The same rules do not apply."
"yeah I guess… I mean anything goes…"
"A cursed parakeet!!?" three guys were sitting in a construction site around a cage.
"Yeah I heard all of his owners died horrible deaths. So it quickly gets passed around."
"What and now its come around to you?"
"Yeah… so I'm really scarred… you want it Shigeo?"
"How could I after hearing that! Idiot"
"What about you Chad-san, its really cute!" the boy said holding a changed bird out to a large Hispanic man.
"Idiot don't Chad is weak to cute things like th-" the boy named Shigeo was saying before he was cut off by Chad
"Ill take it." Chad said taking the bird
"Well anyways lets g-" Shigho was cut off by the sound of something from above them.
"Wa- oh shit!!!' a large I beam was falling towards them. Chad pushed them out of the way letting the beam fall on his back.
"Cha-cha-Chad-san you cough a steel beam with your back!"
"are you alright Chad!!!?"
"Its nothing"
"What are you talking about your bleeding!"
"Thanks for saving me. My name is Shibata Yuuichi what's your name mister.
"what's with this bird?"
"Its as if it understands the situation…"
"Sado Yasutora… I'm 15 "
"Wow Chad's responding to the bird!" he said looking shocked
"But dam those wounds sure healed up cleanly" Ranma said rubbing his forehead
"You're still surprised? what did you expect? my demon arts grads were top of the class healing wounds like that is nothing" Rukia said eating her lunch. The two were at school eating on the top of the building.
"grades? What there's a Shinigami school" Ranma asked
"hm? Well something like that. Anyways Ranma… How do I drink this?" Rukia asked thrusting a juice box towards Ranma.
"Huh obviously you stick the straw in."
"straw?" 'oh this… now were do I sick it?
"you guys are together again. You two sure get along well."
"Miziuiro? Dumbass dose it look like we get along well?" Ranma
"you don't? well of you say so. But Ranma shouldn't you think about the impression your giving to those around you"
"I don't really care what others think"
"oh… hello Kuchiki-san!"
"Um hello, Kojima-kun…?"
"Bingo. You remembered even though we haven't boon properly introduced! I'm Kojima Miziuiro age 15."
"Hey can I join you guys" a boy said walking up to them
"Oh hey Keigo" Ranma said
"Huh Chad's not here."
"nope"
"oh yeah I haven't seen him"
"that's weird where'd he go…? OH if it isn't the beautiful transfer student Kuchiki-san!! Why are you here!?"
"Ranma asked her out."
"Idio… no, I-"
"What Ranma!?! GOOD JOB!!"
"Oh… yeah… so happy he's crying???" Ranma mumbled
'hello um-" Rukia was beginning to say be fore he cut her off
"I'm Asano!!! Welcome to this place of men!!" Asano shouted "Now today's lunch is a party!"
"…with coffee milk and a sandwich?"
"SHUT UP!"
"When… will I get to drink this juice thing" Rukia asked Ranma
"Chad"
"hey" Chad said walking up
"Your injured, what happened?" Ranma asked
"…My head… from yesterday a steel beam fell on me." Chad said calmly
"STEEL BEAM!" everyone shouted
"My hand and stuff is from when I wend to buy bread, I collided with a motorcycle."
"What the hell were you doing!?" Ranma asked
"And the guy on the bike was seriously injured so I took him to the hospital."
"So that's why you were late…" said Asano.
"But what kind of body do you have there?" Ranma asked 'he is like Ryoga!'
Chad sat down taking a caged bid off his back. "Oh? What's with the bird?" asano asked
"Hello my name is Shibata Yuuichi! What are your names?" the bird asked excitedly.
Ranma looked shocked, 'what the hell…' he thought to himself
"Oh wow he speaks so well! My name is Asano Keigo, got it Asano." He said to the bird
"Chad… were did you get that bird?" Ranma asked
"Yesterday…I got it…" Chad answered
"Hey! You quit the explanation because it was too much work didn't you?! That's a vas habit! Tell us!" Ranma said
"Don't worry something id inside of it but its nothing evil. It's noting more than a lonely sprit. Though it could become a hollow if left alone, it would be wise to send it to the afterlife tonight." Rukia said from her position beside Ranma
"I guess… there goes more of my sleeping time" Ranma moaned
"No complaining"
"Yeah, yeah"
'But he is now worrying over others after sensing the presence of a sprit… perhaps he's gained some of what it takes to become a Shinigami …' Rukia thought looking up at Ranma
Ranma had just come back form shopping and was unloading when he heard Rukia call for him. 'Arg what does she wand now?' Ranma thought heading in the direction of their room.
When he entered he found her lying on the bed reading another horror manga and eating a bag of chips.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to eat on my bed? I don't like sleeping in chips." Ranma said sitting down beside her
"Well when you get me my own bed, ill eat on that." She said getting up.
"Well its only a one bedroom apartment so I guess I can try and find a small bed and you can take this one or something, because the sleeping arrangements now aren't that great. You keep snuggling up to me at night and it's not very comforting."
They had been living together for about a month now, at first Ranma being Ranma slept in the floor and let Rukia sleep on the bed. But after 2 weeks of constant nagging about back pains Rukia finally had enough and made him sleep in the bed with her.
"But it gets so cold at night and you always have so much blanket there is not much else to do to stay warm." Rukia said in an innocent tone.
"If you say so, wel-" Ranma was starting to say before he was cut off by the sound of his cell phone
"Hello…What? Chad is in the hospital!?" Ranma asked the person on the other line of the phone. "Ill be right down." He said closing his cell phone. "Chad is in the hospital we need to go down there."
They two were in the lobby, they had just finished talking to Chad about the wound and what had happened.
"Did you sense that" Ranma asked leaning against the wall
"Of course, I feel it even form this room. I didn't sense anything form the bird but… his wounds reek of a hollow."
"Well we should go home and get some sleep we will come back and see him in the morning." Ranma said walking towards the exit
Ranma was running through the halls of the school trying to get to his class as fast as he could. He slid to a stop in the room grabbing the first person in his reach
"Oh Ranma you made it just in tim-"
"Where's Chad!? Did he come by here!" he yelled
"No I didn't see him"
"Yeah it looks like he hasn't shown up yet. Which is odd, he is always In his seat 10 minutes before the bell rings. Plus a sturdy guy like him probealy wouldn't take a sick day. But why are you so worked up Ranma? Do you want to play with the bird-" he was cut off by Ranma running our of the classroom at top speed.
He was already down the street when he heard his name being called. "Rukia!"
"how's it going did you find any trace of him Ranma?"
"Nope, how about you?"
"Nothing this way either, zero Hollow information from soul society, and there is nothing on the radar either." Rukia said to Ranma "In the first place, Hollows hide between the dimensions of this world and soul society when they are not doing something evil." She stated "So we will only be able to sense them when it ethers here to attack Chad!"
"Shit! Chad is being targeted by a Hollow… it'll be too late if we act after he's been attacked, i've gotta do something…" Ranma said to him self, thinking of what to do next "That's it! The bird that Chad was carrying! Can't I trace the aura of the sprit within it?"
"What!? No, that's not possible…" Rukia started to say
"All right!" Ranma said as he stood there in a trance like stance, his aura seeping out of him
"Ran…ma…?" 'what is this sensation' Rukia thought to her self 'NO WAY! It's impossible the sprit whiten the bird? Evan I cannot sense it unless it's right in front of me! Let alone the fact that the human's sprit and the bird's sprit ate meshed together making its existence unclear! To try to trace that from such a distance is-' her thought was cut off as many blue strands of sprit energy burst to life around them.
"This… this is!"
"Found him!" Ranma said grabbing one of the strands near Rukia. "This way!" he shouted as he ran off
"O-okay" Rukia said following him ' that was Reiraku, the ability to visualize the sprit's aura. Only high level Shinigami should be able to do that… this guy, has been able to develop his abilities so quickly?'
