As a member of the stealth force using flash, steps are very common for Saido and when he saw Ichigo dodging his first attack he wanted to subdue Ichigo with his next move.

So using flash step he went to attack Ichigo however before he can land a blow at the spikey hair kid someone moved in between him and Ichigo to stop his Zanpakuto with only an index finger as if his slash was nothing which made him say in disbelief on his face “It’s impossible, how can you stop it so easily? ”

“Because I am stronger than you. ” said Takashi with a confident smile as he looks at the stealth force Shinigami.

“Even so I am using my Zanpakuto and you are barehanded. ” taking a step back quickly said the Shinigami to get someone distance before announcing then looking at Takashi once again and recognizing him to be the same kid who was flirting with Rukia and wasn’t able to see him made him more surprised as he asks “Wait a minute you can also see me? ”

“Of course I can see you, if not how do you think I was able to stop you? ” asks Takashi with a smile as he not started doubting the Shinigami’s mental health.

“Then were you pretending to not see me or you were ignoring me, before? ” asks the Shinigami in confusion as he looks at Takashi.

“Of course I was ignoring you since you aren’t any threat for us. ” said Takashi as if it’s a fact.

“Hey, that is very rude. ” companies the Shinigami before rushing to attack Takashi.

“Even so it’s a sold fact you know. ” Takashi said with a laugh before he dodged the Zanpakuto slash effortlessly.

“Your opponent is me. ” Ichigo who has already taken out the mode Soul and changed into his Shinigami form jumps to stop the Zanpakuto of the unknown Shinigami.

As the battle between Ichigo and the unknown Shinigami whom Rukia called Saido a member of the stealth force while Takashi and she were talking and looking at Ichigo and Shaido’s battle.

After clashing for a few rounds Ichigo was forced back as Saido announced looking at Ichigo who is now on the ground “You fool, you were trying to fight using brute fore to cover for your skills and tactics, you have no experience at all. ”

Ichigo who had finally stood up from his spot got angry at Saido’s announcement and with an angry face, he again charged at Saido aggressively while shouting “Will you shut your mouth? ”

While Ichigo and Saido are fighting Takashi felt the presence of a Hollow near the graveyard and it appears Isshin is not with them so when Ichigo again pushed back he replaced him by jumping in front of Saido before saying “Ichigo let me handle this guy and you quickly move to the grave and protect Yuzu and Karin because I can feel the presence of a Hollow over there. ”

“Fine, I will move fast. ” Ichigo said with a serious face before he quickly ran in the direction of the grave when Rukia’s Soul index started giving the notification of the Hollow confirming the presence of the Hollow.

“Son although you can stop my Zanpakuto and even see me however that time I was a bit careless.

So I suggest you step away from my way. ” said Saido with a smile when he saw Takashi covering for Ichigo.

“You don’t need to worry about me however if you are that much worried about my safety then I will appreciate it if you leave us alone. ” said Takashi with a smile.

“That can’t be done. ” said Saido with a smile as he shook his head before he moved to attack Takashi once again while saying “So I will have to take you down before I go after your friend. ”

“Then you leave me no choice. ” said Takashi while easily dodging Saido’s slash and punching Saido in the stomach which caused Saido to take a few steps in pain.

“You are stronger than I have thought Son. ” said Saido with a serious face as he looked at Takashi.

“Takashi we need to help Ichigo. ” while Takashi and Saido are looking at one another with a serious face to predict the next move suddenly Rukia shouts with a serious face while looking at the Soul index.

The next moment Saido used flash steps to arrive at Rukia’s left to say “You are right with the skills the spikey hair kid has, the Hollow is out of his league. ”

“If you shut your mouth then no one is going to think you are mute. ” said Takashi in annoyance as he lands at Rukia’s right before saying ” Don’t worry Rukia, I am sure Ichigo will be able to handle the Hollow. ”

“Even so we need to go and help him. ” said Rukia with worry.

“Maybe you are right. ” said Takashi with an agreement when he felt Ichigo finally engaging in a battle with the Hollow.

“Then let’s hurry. ” said Rukia closing the soul index.

“Hold on to me tightly then. ” said Takashi before taking Rukia in a princess carry before vanishing from his spot using flash steps.

“Kyaaa~ ” the next moment only Rukia’s scream and a confused Kon with a surprised Saido remains behind.

“Did they just left ignoring me? ” asks Saido with an unhappy face.

“Maybe they did? ” said Kon with a serious face.

“Hey, you are friend with that spikey hard boy and the stong kid right? ” asked Saido with a smile as he points his Zanpakuto at Kon.

“I know a thing or two about Ichigo but the tough guy is strange, I am telling you? ” said Kon with a very serious face as he can still remember how easily Takashi defeated him in the past.

“How about you tell me about it? ”

——————-

By the time Takashi and Rukia arrived at the grave, they found an unconscious Yuzu and Karin being taken hostage by the Hollow but the weirdest thing is a little girl with short dark hair in front of the Hollow at whom Ichigo is looking with a shocked face.

“Ichigo do you know that girl? ” asks Rukia with a confused face after landing on the ground.

“It’s her, it’s the girl I saw that day six years ago, by the river. ” Ichigo answers with a serious face while looking at the little girl in front of the Hollow.

“The girl you went to rescue and caused Aunt Masaki ‘s death? ” says Takashi with a serious face as he looked at the girl, no he looks at the Hollow who is also known as grand-fisher.

“Yes she looks exactly the same from back then. ” said Ichigo with an uncertain face looking at the girl.

“Wow~ that is an ugly one. ” Saido had finally caught up and said when he looks at the Hollow.

“Six years ago do you mean? ” hearing Ichigo and Takashi’s conversation Rukia asks uncertainly.

“Yes she is the girl whom I tried to stop from jumping into the river but when I arrived she had disappeared and my mother she was dead. ” Ichigo finished greeting his teeth while looking at the girl.

“Six years ago that’s a long time ago and since then and there had been too many so you can’t expect me to remember all souls I have eaten.

Now can you? ” the little girl said with a male tone before her head split open and soon it got connected to the head of the hollow by meat-like string before she transformed into a lure.

Looking at the Hollow, Rukia decided to explain “It’s the grand-fisher that’s the code name we have given him, he keeps himself invisible and disguises the lure growing out of his head like a human.

So when he finds someone who can see the lure he knows that human has strong spiritual energy and he eats them to gain all of their ability.

For over 50 years this Hollow has evaded all the Shinigami that has gone after him.

We know his favorite victims are women. ”

“So this Hollow has killed Aunt Masaki . ” says Takashi with a serious face while Ichigo looks at the Hollow in hate.

“Hahaha~ impressive you have seen my lure and even escaped death.

I remember you I intended to eat you on the spot when I saw you but the allure of that woman was so intense that I couldn’t resist but to devour her. ” said Grand Fisher with a laugh while looking at Ichigo.

“Basterd. ” Rukia cursed in anger.

“That’s the most disgusting Hollow I have seen in a while. ” said Saido in disgust.

“You will regret for what you did. ” Takashi said finally manifesting his Zanpakuto and looking at the Hollow in anger before he used a flash step and returned on his spot with Karin in his hand while saying “Ichigo have your revenge I have rescued Karin. ”

“Leave this Basterd to me. ” said Ichigo before moving towards Grand-fisher when he didn’t need to worry about protecting Karin and Yuzu who are protected by Takashi.

“When did you? ” looking Karin in Takashi’s hand asks Grand-fisher in disbelief before turning to his left and trying to move the empty hand just to find it sliding from its place slowly but before he can react from the sudden turn of events Ichigo has already arrived in front of him which made him jump back to save himself.

“You aren’t escaping anywhere you basterd. ” said Ichigo as he tried to slash Grand Fisher to death however before Ichigo’s Zanpakuto can cut the Hollow it extended its hair life outer lair and condensing it into a pike tried to stub Ichigo which forced him to jump back to safety.

As the fight continued the Hollow somehow gotten its way near Yuzu and tried to stub her making Ichigo panic however Takashi has already moved to take her on his other hand while Saido stood in front of them to protect them but got injured himself.

“Hey, are you alright? ” looking at the bleeding body of Saido asks Ichigo in concern.

“It’s alright as a Shinigami we must save innocent and put our lives on the line. ” said Saido as he out’s his weight on his Zanpakuto to make himself not fall on the floor but it was futile as he fell on the floor nonetheless.

“Hey, are you alright? You are a Shinigami so you won’t die right? ” Ichigo asks looking at Saido who is on the floor and bleeding heavily.

“No Ichigo even Shinigami aren’t immortal and they can also die if they are heavily wounded. ” said Rukia correcting Ichigo.

“But you don’t need to worry about our friend over here Ichigo, since he seems to be sleeping. ” said Takashi to remove Ichigo’s worry and focus on the Hollow.

“Damn it you are right! Wake up basterd before I kill you myself. ” said Ichigo with anger after getting worried for no reason.

“Ichigo lookout? ” while they were talking Grand-Fisher had moved behind Ichigo when they weren’t paying attention and tried to attack Ichigo so Rukia quickly warned him.

“I won’t let you hurt anyone. ” Ichigo said with a serious face before he cuts some parts of the Hollow making it flee into the forest and Ichigo following behind it.

“Kon, take Yuzu and Karun where Isshin is while I help Ichigo. ” said Takashi when he saw Kon’s arrival.

“Alright, I am on it.” said Kon while taking Yuzu and Karin before leaving to where Isshin is.

“Rukia, stay close to me and don’t try to help Ichigo because it’s his fight for honor.  ” said Takashi with a serious face as he started walking toward Ichigo’s direction.

Looking at Takashi’s back Rukia remembers the words of her captain and understood why Takashi has yet to end the Hollow and allowed Ichigo to fight by himself before she quickly chased after Takashi “Hey wait for me? ”

Arriving in the middle of the forest Takashi and Rukia discover Ichigo being entangled by the Hollow into a situation where he is now unable to move so Takashi quickly sent a sword wave after covering his Zanpakuto with his energy which lets Ichigo free from the restraint.

“Ichigo if you are having so much problem with avenging aunt Masaki then why don’t you let me take care of it? ” Takashi said with a serious face as he truly hates this Hollow for killing Masaki.

“Don’t worry it was the last time.” said Ichigo before he started slashing the Hollow to the point it got a lot of wounds when it used its lure and transformed it into Masaki which made Ichigo look at his mother without making a move “Mom? ”

“That’s right it’s your mother, now that it is her I am sure you won’t be attacking me, right? ” said Grand- Fisher with a confident face while looking at unmoving Ichigo and explaining “As expected all Shinigami are a fool and I have been using this to defeat all the Shinigami for the past 50 years and no one had ever successful to defeat me once I know about their weakness. ”

While Grand-Fisher is looking at Ichigo with a vicious face Masaki is looking at Ichigo with a smile and asking him to put down his Zanpakuto as it’s not necessary to fight anymore and she believes that her son won’t harm his mother.

“Rukia stop. ” when Rukia saw Ichigo unmoving she wanted to help but before she can make a move Takashi held her back.

“Why? ” not understanding Takashi’s actions Rukia asks in surprise.

“Because I can feel aunt Masaki’s presence. “
