Reborn in bleach as a hollow with a system

20 – Kidnapping

A few months later Hisashi returned from his evening patrol to find his mom the only one already home. It's pretty much expected for his father to not get home until late at night, but it looked like Reina was still at the office too. She was working later into the evening due to the high work volume and expansion at her company.

After two years of hard work not only were they now becoming successful in the business world, but they had also managed to score some government contracts for their OS. Though the discount was significant the volume was absolutely insane and more than made up for it.

She finished folding the laundry and moved on to preparing dinner as she usually does. She's very diligent about everything being in order and on time. She walked out with a full trash bag and put it out in the garbage bin walking right by him. After what happened with Reina he had made sure to consciously not get too close to his parents all that much as they weren't sure if their parents gaining power would be a good thing or not.

It could help them protect themselves, but it would also draw in more Hollow and 3 humans with high spirit power popping up one after the other in the same location is bound to draw attention. They decided that for now it would be best to avoid it just in case.

Suddenly he was alerted which hand't happened in a long time.

[Emergency Mission: Save Reina]

[Reward: Energy Blade]

He didn't waste a moment and ran to her office. She wasn't there so he started methodically scouting the town moving out from the office while using the maximum range of his spiritual senses searching for her spiritual signature that he was already familiar with. Going full speed it didn't even take him half an hour to find a warehouse on the outskirts of town.

Nothing looked too unusual about it from outside the perimeter wall. Just an average warehouse with a wall surrounding it and a gate with a bored looking guard that looked like he was about to fall asleep on the job.

He can sense Reina near the back of the warehouse though. Upon closer inspection from a nearby rooftop though there were armed guards patrolling around the building and he could sense quite a few more individuals inside which was definitely unusual for what seemed to be a closed warehouse late at night.

Thankfully he doesn't sense anyone with high spirit power for a human. This means he doesn't even have to use his stealth. Doesn't get much more like a cakewalk. He just jumps over the wall, the only thing he has to pay attention to is to make sure he isn't making any noise or bumping into anything. He sees one of the guards and he looks more like a militia with the kind of gear he is wearing than a guard.

He uses his [Soul-Body Separation] in single move removes his soul from his body. He was hoping to get some information out of him, unfortunately it seems to be impossible though as the mere sight of him scared him senseless to the point where he couldn't get a coherent sentence out of him. He decides moving forward he will just devour them and save the time rather than trying to get information.

He first circles the building perimeter picking off three more armed militia members one by one. Now that he's finished clearing the perimeter he heads to the warehouse loading dock, because there is no way he is getting through any of the regular doors without alerting everyone in the building. He manages to squeeze through the loading dock doors without making too much sound.

The amount of space inside the warehouse is a lot more comfortable. He is currently in what appears to be a combination of a stocking and the loading area. Reina seems to be in one of the offices near the back. He continues and clears out the last 5 militia members in the stocking area making use of the shelving to hide the bodies.

He smells something burning and immediately rushes towards the back rooms. Smoke is coming out from around the door. He immediately forcefully broke into the room where he sees what he can only call an inferno. Panic has taken over by this point.

Finally he notices Reina in the centre of the room, except she looks completely unscathed and was holding some kind of delicate looking silver sceptre with a gem in the head and is using it like a flamethrower absolute torching the room along with anyone and everything in it like some kind of queen of flames.

When she saw him her expression instantly changed from a ever so slightly deranged look to a wide smile with a hint of pride. She seemed to be perfectly impervious to the flames she was creating. He quickly finished off the souls of the souls of the 3 men on fire. At least he guessed they were men, at this point there were getting closer to charcoal briquettes. Extra crispy.

"Are you ok? Did they hurt you?" he asks her, looking her up and down. She seems like she is. However she is also conjuring fire.

"Better than ever! Look I have powers now too." she said with a smirk while waving her sceptre which seems to be moving the flames along with it. She was very proud to also have an ability now and couldn't help but gloat about it. If it weren't that she was adorable it would have been insufferable.

He picks her up gently using the back of the blades to make sure she doesn't get hurt. It was technically a princess carry, but given that he was a giant monster it looked a whole lot more like he was the monster kidnapping the princess. Then he ran off so fast they disappeared on the spot.
