82 Shinenju (2/2)

”Those…”

Itsuki didn't finish as he looked at Seikyo,

”Get Soi Fon, I'll be returning to the 2nd division HQ and you…”

The Onmitsukido member looked terrified as he looked down,

”Who was dispatched?”

”It was the recruit squad, they said that they needed the training.”

”So basically, they sent a group of greenhorns into unchartered territory.”

The Onmitsukido member was silent. The fact that they were recruits meant that they were geniuses from the academy.

”So, lost contact or confirmed KIA.”

”Lost contact, captain.”

Itsuki nodded and popped a pill in his mouth. The pill was a mod soul, with the complete opposite personality of Itsuki. As soon as his eyes opened, roses seemed to come out from behind 'Itsuki' until Itsuki shattered them with his cold voice,

”Go back to the Urahara store.”

Apart from the personality, the only difference between the two was the eyes. 'Itsuki' had his normal eyes from before while Itsuki had his Mystic Eyes. Soi Fon arrived next to him, still confused by the events. Looking at his lover, Itsuki told her to take charge in the living world as he opened a senkaimon back.

Just as he was about to enter, he felt a spike of reiatsu coming for the city's graveyard. Looking at the direction, Itsuki closed the senkaimon and made his way over there. Soi Fon and the Onmitsukido member followed behind him as they had also felt the disturbance. By the time Itsuki arrived there, a group of people had just disappeared into thin air leaving an unknown girl Shinigami and Ichigo in his Shinigami attire.

”Itsuki, that…”

”Mm, that symbol, it's the Ryodoji family.”

”Weren't they banished into the Dangai around 1000 years ago, it's hard to believe that there are still some survivors.”

Itsuki nodded as he landed next to the two as the girl jumped back in surprise. Ichigo felt the familiar presence behind him as he slowly turned around. Itsuki didn't say anything as Soi Fon went up to the two,

”Kurosaki Ichigo, what are you doing here and you girl, report your name and division.”

”Those guys-! Those guys attacked her so I fought back.”

Ichigo, being the hotblooded teen, started shouting but with one look quietened him. The girl dazed upon seeing Itsuki as she tried her best to remember her identity.

”My…my name is…Senna…”

Her two amber eyes were filled with confusion as both her hands grasped her head. She had done up her purple hair into a ponytail with a red ribbon. Seeing this, Itsuki spoke up,

”You have various sorts of memories, don't you?”

Senna came to a realisation as she slowly looked up,

”You're not a Shinigami, rather a Shinenju, an object that is composed of the memories of many souls.”

Soi Fon was surprised to hear this as so was Ichigo. Looking at Ichigo, he continued,

”The same exact Shinenju you've been looking for I presume.”

Author's note

I try not to read novels that have below average English, even if the plot is really good. Ok, I still read them.

But I read them with the fear that it may affect my writing.

The miseries of a brilliantly talented author. Pray I don't chance upon the stray path.
