Chapter 686 - Two Souls

The following couple of days, Rukia's suffering continues, in the morning she needs to train with Xin in the cruelest method that Xin can do, and that is to hold without exploding.

While at night, she needs to spend time in the Northpole and play with the burn of penguin and polar bear.

Time passes by and Rukia who spent a month in the human world felt that she already suffered for over a decade.

Lunch breaks up on the rooftop of the school, Xin and his friend usually spend their lunchtime suddenly notice something wrong about Chad.

From his looks, he seems injured by someone or maybe he fights someone and he gets injured as he fights.

"What's the matter with you? You look pretty beaten," Ichigo asked after looking at his pale face that looked pale.

"Nothing… I just come from an accident… that's all.." Chad said.

"More importantly, I got something interesting when i'm walking back home yesterday," Chad took a birdcage with a white parrot inside.

"What's that? A love bird?" Tatsuki asks.

"hello ~ my name is Shibata Yuichi! What's your name?" The bird suddenly talked.

Inoue, Rukia, Ichigo and even Tatsuki's faces suddenly change, Xin looks at the bird and helplessly sighs.

"Wow awesome, a bid that can speak fluently!" Asano excitedly said.

"Brother," Inoue sadly grabbed Xin's arms while looking at the bird.

"Don't worry, i will help him later," Xin said while petting her head, then whispered," What's Catdog doing, he even forget a young soul inside of a bird,"

Tatsuki looked at Xin and said," Xin, can you help that thing?"

Tatsuki knows that Xin is a powerful Onmyoji, after all, Inoue accidentally said that Xin can see ghosts and can help them ascend to the afterlife.

Xin helplessly looked at her, he then looked at Chad and said," Can I have that parrot? Maybe I can help him from this problem,"

Chad took the birdcage and passed to Xin without even thinking, he trusts Xin that he can help whatsoever this bird problem is.

Xin took the bird and looked carefully, even without activating his mystical eyes, he can see an image of a young boy crying for help.

"Don't worry little kid, i will help you," Xin said while using his finger to pet the bird inside of the cage.

Ichigo moved closer to Rukia and whispered," Is that fine? Did Xin know what was inside that bird?"

"Don't worry, he can solve it easily, trust Xin," Rukia said.

Ichigo looks at Rukia and doubtfully asks," So you also have something for Xin do you? I will inform you, Xin is too popular that he always get letters from different girls from different ages, even some college students come here just to express their feeling for him,"

"What do you mean?" Rukia asks.

Ichigo look at her up and down and helpless sigh," Comrade Rukia, if you want to try i will advise you to stop, you will only hurt your pride competing at them,"

Rukia tight and suddenly understand what he talking about, she angry punch his nose and said," idiot, my relationship with Xin is pure as snow, he is my precious friend and a brother for me so don't think something stupid like that again!"

Ichigo murmur, "Stupid woman, you will be going to realize what kid of thing you going miss,"

Rukia angry kicked him again and sat beside Xin, while munching her lunch, she can't help but to look at Xin and felt something different from when she was near him.

Something new for her that makes her relax even though there are too many problems she is facing right now.

...…

After school Xin takes the parrot in a nearby park where no one is around so he can perform Soul burial for this unfortunate soul.

Xi who is about to perform Soul Burial suddenly stops and looks behind and helplessly asks," So what are you guys doing here?"

"I want to watch, brother," Inoue excitedly said.

"Same," Tatsuki.

"Just walking around," Ichigo.

".." Chad pointed to the parrot in his hand.

Xin then looks at Rukia who seems feign ignorance on them while whistling as if she is not around.

"Okay, just sit and watch don't do anything stupid," Xin then look at Rukia and said," And you, your mission is to hold anything wil come for thsi kid, after all, it's hard to separate two souls form one body,"

"But my spiritual power is still not recovered from a previous accident," Rukia said.

"Don't worry, you can now use your spiritual power using the cold energy inside of you," Xin then took the parrot and palace it in the ground.

"I'm starting," Xin sits in front of the parrot and starts to concentrate, separating the soul of the bird and the kid from the body of the parrot.

While the others looked at Xin, they suddenly felt something dangerous coming, Ichigo, Chad and Tatsuki hurriedly stood up and looked around.

Rukia said," Don't move, stay there, you guys cant see it but you can feel it that means your seen is more powerful than ordinary people,"

"You smell nice …...!~"

Ichigo sees a strange hollow appear in front of them, standing at around two to three times the height of most Humans, with an ape-like body that leads him to stand on all fours during most occasions.

He has shaggy black fur around his neck and shoulders, as well as in two lines arcing toward the center of his c.h.e.s.t on either side of his torso, and large black wings connected to his hands. His Hollow mask is vertically long and narrow, with thick and exposed teeth framed by black, flame-like markings, a skull-like nose, a large and circular chin, and a forehead with a half-circle indent at the top,

"Let me eat you! You've got a tasty scent, and not only you, but two more delicious meat is also here too," The hollow look at Tatsuki and Inoue who being guard by Chad who looking around, and Ichigo who looking at him

"Ye lord! Mask of flesh and bone, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws."

"Way of Destruction #33. Sokatsui"

Suddenly a cold ball of flame appeared in Rukia's hand, she was taken back seeing the ball of fire, she dont know why she felt that the spell seems different from what she usually uses, but still, he throws it in the face of the hollow.

"Booom!!"
