Reborn in bleach as a hollow with a system

22 – All Over

Reina wasn't able to talk at all due to the speed they were moving at being high enough to take her breath away. Before she could even fully adjust to it they appeared in a dark alley walking distance from their home. Hisashi carefully let her down. The sceptre transformed back into her bracelet practically confirming his suspicions. He made sure to give her a moment to catch her breath.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her concerned.

"It's ok now." she said.

"You can't go back yet a lot happened so we need to get your story straight. First off what happened and why were you there?" he asked her wondering what was even going on for her to be in such a situation.

"I was leaving the office when they grabbed me. I was out for a bit after that... when I woke up I was already in that building. I heard a car door behind me before they grabbed me so they must have knocked me out and dragged me into a car and driven me there." she says making it clear how it all started.

"So they were waiting for you near your car. I would have suggested getting bodyguards, but I guess that isn't going to be necessary anymore" he chuckles dryly.

"Yeah, I don't think normal people can kidnap me anymore. I faked being asleep for a while and they talked. They were targeting me because of the company. They were going to use me to get money some of the code and keys to sell." she explains.

It made more sense now. He could have expected this with the international media exposure and the company even attracting the attention of the government now. He had just overestimated Japan's safety. Well the safety aside from supernatural threats.

"Originally it would have been good for the police to know about the event and investigate further. The place going up in flames and you coming out completely unscathed means that probably isn't the smartest anymore though." he tells her.

"Ok, that makes sense." she nods in agreement. They would definitely have questions for her if she showed up the way she was now compared to how they left the warehouse behind. Not only was there a massive fire, when he ran out with her to get away from the fire and avoid being noticed by authorities he might have busted through a few walls.

"With that fire most of the evidence of your presence should already be pretty well covered up. Also though I destroyed some of the walls they will likely attribute that to the fire as long as it's left to burn for a little longer." he guesses.

"So what do we do now? What was that power?" she asks him. He sees she is shaking a little though, he isn't sure if it's just from the adrenaline wearing off or more.

"Awakening that power would have put a lot of strain on your body even more so after being drugged, knocked out and kidnapped. You need to get some rest. Meanwhile I will go back and spend the night on watch there in case they have more members or some kind of backup to come checking on them. We will talk about that power tomorrow." he told her before leaning over and gently pressing his forehead against her.

This was the closest he could do to show affection since his size and blades for arms means he couldn't hug her as he was now. She wrapped her arms around around his mask to hug him back.

"Thank you for being there. I love you." she tells him softly. It was obvious that though she was pumped with adrenaline and her new power she was still quite affected by the whole situation.

"I love you too sis." he says back.

He sent her off and watched her walk home to make sure she got there before heading back to the warehouse. When he got there the fire had grown massively engulfing the entire warehouse already and caught the attention of some people that were watching from the distance in interest. It also didn't take long for police and shortly after firefighters to start showing up.

It took quite a while for the fire to be put out. Likely due to the fact the fire wasn't a natural one. Meanwhile he made sure to keep his spiritual senses scanning the area for any suspicious movements. He had to adjust his sense a little to pay more attention to lower spirit power individuals since usually he completely surpasses those from his senses or he would have to deal with far too much information and possibly miss the important ones. This was going to be a long night.

'While I have nothing much to do anyway. System what was that skill I got?' he asks his system.

[Energy Blade]

[Allows the user to clad any blade like object with his spirit power. Can be used either as an enhancement to the blade itself or fired off upon performing a slashing or thrusting action as a ranged attack.]

'Sweet, so I can do stuff like Getsuga Tenshō now?' he wondered quite excited about playing around with this new skill.

[Answer: Affirmative. A similar move to Getsuga Tenshõ could be performed using the skill and firing it off during a slashing action. Firing it off during a thrust would produce something more akin to an energy ray instead.]

"Damn, I need to train this skill as soon as I finish up business here. Hmm... I can't really practice this in the city though. If it is even anywhere even close to Getsuga Tenshõ in power then firing it off is not going to be environmentally friendly... It would probably also draw the entire local Shinigami squad if I did even if it does turn out that [Spirit Power Concealment] is powerful enough to conceal its spirit power emission." he thinks to himself.
