Chapter 441 - A Different Plot Start (I)

Karakura Town

A woman dressed in shihakusho was standing on top of a telephone pole. She could watch over most of the town from that position. But there was something peculiar about the woman… no one was able to see her.

It was the night of a full moon. The woman didn't seem to have any type of expression on her face. All of a sudden the woman's eyes flicked towards a certain direction and after a few moments, she leaped into the town below.

The woman was a Shinigami who had been recently appointed to this town. She didn't know much about the town but she knew how to sense Spiritual Pressure. That is what she had sensed a few moments ago.

After a few minutes, the woman reaches the spot where she had sensed the Spiritual Pressures but now the place was completely empty. The Shinigami was pretty sure that Spiritual Pressures belonged to Hollows, so she needed to find them and purify them..

That was her duty… the woman decided to look around the underbridge for any tracks or something like that but she didn't find any. The woman released a sigh and decided to return to the telephone pole.

That was the best way to keep an eye on the whole town. The woman yawned and only after that did she remember that she needed to sleep too…

The next morning, once again the woman found herself standing on top of the same telephone pole. She had yet to notice any disturbance since last night. The woman was clearly getting frustrated.

She had been told by her Captain to approach Kisuke Urahara if she faced a problem but she wanted to avoid that. She didn't want to ask for help from that traitor.

After a couple of hours, the woman finally noticed the Spiritual Pressure of one of the Hollows. She also noticed some disturbance from that part of the town. She immediately started to leap towards the Hollow.

After a few minutes, the woman finally arrived where the Hollow was and she noticed that the Hollow was about to attack an orange-haired human boy and the spirit of a dead girl.

The woman pulled out her Zanpakutou and slashed at the Hollow's mouth. The Hollow howled in pain and backed away due to the pain. The woman took this chance and slashed at the Hollow's mask.

The Hollow was unable to defend itself and the mask was cut apart right from the middle… after a few moments, the Hollow's body disappeared.

The orange-haired boy wanted to approach the woman in shihakusho but before he could do anything, she disappeared using Flash Step. Soon the emergency services arrived and they started to help everyone…

While the woman was searching for the second Hollow throughout the town. A black-haired man appeared near the spirit of the dead girl and placed his hand over his head before the girl could protest.

The black-haired man was performing Konso (Soul Burial) on the spirit of the dead girl. The spirit started to glow brightly and disappeared. The man cracked his neck and released a tired sigh.

'What I did might seem to be cruel but this was much better than getting your soul devoured by a Hollow' the man thought as he disappeared from that spot.

Only after a couple of minutes, the woman in shihakusho appeared at the same spot and look around.

"Odd, I am sure that I felt someone performing Konso

" the woman spoke out loud but after looking around for a couple of minutes she decided to give up.

'I must have imagined it… or it could have been Kisuke Urahara' the woman thought and used Flash Step to disappear from that spot.

For now, she had much more important things to deal with like finding the other Hollow…

Las Noches, Hueco Mundo

A tall dark-skinned woman was standing above Las Noches while staring towards the horizon. The woman had aqua green-colored eyes, thick eyelashes, and short golden blonde hair.

Her hair was a complete mess, she also had three-braided locks. The woman was dressed in a jacket that covered the lower part of her face while baring a good portion of the lower half of her large breasts.

The jacket's sleeves completely enveloped her arms, terminating in black glove-like extensions at her extremities, resembling the appearance of a cat's paw.

Most of her face wasn't visible but it was clear from her eyes that the woman was worried. It has been a day since her Fraccion had left Las Noches to investigate the disturbance in the Forest of Menos. They haven't returned yet.

She wanted to rush towards the Forest of Menos so that she could look for her Fraccion but Aizen-sama had forbidden her from leaving. So she could only wait for them to return.

But it was much harder than she had thought. She was playing around with the idea if she should ignore Aizen-sama's orders and visit the Forest of Menos anyway.

But she knew that going against Aizen-sama's orders would be fatal for her and her Fraccion if they were still alive.

'Please be safe wherever you are' Harribel thought and after another longing look towards the Horizon, she wordlessly turned around and disappeared using Sonido…

Knox, Karakura Town

Sung-Sun was having a really nice dream but some bitch was shaking her like a maniac. She wanted to sink her fangs into whoever dared to ruin her dream…

'If it is you Harribel-sama, then you are already forgiven' Sung-Sun thought as she finally opened her eyes and found it was Apacci. Sung-Sun's mood was immediately ruined as she started to bare her fangs.

"Ah, you are finally up, you slithering snake! What the ** happened? Where are we?

" Apacci asked frantically.

Sung-Sun held back the urge to bite the stupid bitch in front of her. She blinked in confusion as she started to look around. 'Yes, the dumb woman is right. Where the hell are we?' Sung-Sun thought as she got up from the extremely comfortable bed.

Sung-Sun felt cold as soon as she got up and found that she was naked as the day she was born… or the day she had evolved. Apacci was in a similar condition. Mila Rose was nowhere to be seen.

Slowly memories started to appear inside her mind and things started to become clear. Unohana Retsu had captured them and then brought them here, wherever this was.

"Calm down! We were captured by Unohana Retsu

" Sung-Sun said and stretched her body. She checked her body and all of her injuries were gone.

"What??! How can I calm down? We were captured by enemies!! We need to get away!!

" Apacci screamed hysterically and Sung-Sun shot her an annoyed glare.

But before Sung-Sun could retort, a door unlocked and a very wet and naked Mila Rose walked inside the room. She had some sort of white cloth wrapped around her hair.

"You don't need to yell Apacci, we could clearly hear you

" Mila Rose said in an annoyed tone.

"Where were you, Mila Rose?

" Sung-Sun asked in a calm tone.

"I was taking a bath… I got up an hour ago and decided to look around

" Mila Rose said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"We need to leave!!

" Once again Apacci screamed and both Mila Rose and Apacci cringed.

"And how do you suppose we do that?

" Sung-Sun questioned and Apacci opened her mouth to say something but after a few moments, she simply hmphed and crossed her arms under her breasts.

Both Mila Rose and Sung-Sun started to snicker but they froze when they sensed someone approaching them. The Spiritual Pressure of the said person seemed to be way above Unohana's.

The person arrived in front of their door and knocked. All three of them gulped and the person knocked again.

"Yes, come in

" Sung-Sun said with a small stutter.

The door clicked open and a dark-skinned woman entered the room. The woman had silver hair and red eyes, the woman also seemed to have bunny-type ears over her head.

"It is good that all three of you are up. Unohana had mentioned that the three of you would be getting up the next morning… my name is Rumi Usagiyama, you can call me Rumi

" the dark-skinned woman introduced herself.

"So you are our warden?

" Mila Rose asked and Rumi simply smiled.

"Not even close… this is not a prison. The three of you aren't prisoners, you are free to leave but you are forbidden from killing any humans and you can't go back to Hueco Mundo

" Rumi said as she approached the huge wardrobe.

The three naked women notice that Rumi also had some sort of tail behind her back. Rumi opened a wardrobe and revealed several sets of clothes.

"Here are the clothes… take anything you like

" Rumi said with a shrug and the three naked women were already eyeing the odd clothes.

"Right… you haven't eaten anything so you could join us for breakfast… though I am not sure if the three of you can eat human food…

" Rumi said with a shrug and started to approach the door.

"Oh… looks like one of you already knows how to use the bath and shower… she can show the two of you

" Rumi said and left the room.

The three naked Arrancars released a huge sigh when Rumi finally left the room. Rumi had no idea how her Spiritual Pressure was affecting the three but the three were sweating.

"The ** did we get involved into??!! She is a bigger monster than that Unohana woman

" Apacci exclaimed loudly. Sung-Sun and Mila Rose subconsciously nodded their heads.

"I think we shouldn't keep them waiting… there is also that black-haired woman

" Mila Rose pointed out.

"Agreed

" Sung-Sun immediately agreed without missing a beat.

"Show us how to you the bath

" Sung-Sun said and Mila Rose immediately nodded her head…
