Ah. He did it again. At this rate, mom and dad were really going to be so mad at him.

Kurosaki Kazui frowned to himself. He was walking to school by himself when a strange man with electric blue spiky hair and light blue eyes with green lines below them appeared before him. He was tall and muscular, there was a remain of hollow mask on his right jawbone. He wore an unzipped black shirt that exposed a scar on his chest, black pants, black boots, two belts around his waist, a sword on his left side along his top belt. He also wore a white jacket with an upturned collar. The inner lining of his jacket was black.

The man rudely demanded Kazui to tell him about his dad's location, saying he got an unfinished business with his dad. Kazui took a step forward, intending to point the man to his family clinic where his dad worked when it happened again. He suddenly switched place, finding himself standing on the top of a mountain of dead hollows in the middle of a vast land made of white sand. It was still morning just a second ago before he found himself in this giant desert place.

"Welcome to our world, dearest child of courage, descendant of our great creator." The world itself seemed to whisper to him, the blowing wind gently caressed his face, greeting his arrival in the land of eternal night where hollows roamed freely.

"Who's there?" The only son of Kurosaki Ichigo and Inoue Orihime turned his face from side to side, looking for the source of the deep voice.

"We don't want any trouble." A wary voice replied to him slowly from down below.

Kurosaki Kazui looked down from his spot, seeing a man with blue-gray eyes and wavy, dark brown hair, which ended at the base of his neck, unkempt and parted down in the middle, a faded goatee on his face. There was also a girl with a light green hair, arranged in a very basic manner. Her Hollow hole was positioned in the center of her stomach. The remainder of her Hollow mask was in the form of a helmet with two horns on the top of her head. The left horn looked like it had been cut off and the left half of the mask covered her left eye. There was a flame design over her left eye socket. She got a light pink eye.

Both of them were wearing a dark cloak. The girl was slightly hiding behind the man. The man himself stood in an alerted manner, sleepy eyes sharpen in preparation for something, ready to either fight or flee.

It was kind of funny to see a grown-up man looking so weary towards a little kid wearing a green hoodie.

Hollow was a creature of instinct after all. The boy looked like a young human child yet there was something off about the boy, their instinct was going haywire, urging them to stay as far away as possible from the boy. The one standing before them wasn't a prey, it was a dangerous creature taking the form of a human boy, trying to look as harmless as possible. It was a predator of the highest class. A very strong one. Stronger than any hollow that they ever encountered so far. Stronger than them even.

All the hollows that they ever encountered immediately died just simply for being near them. The boy looked to be just fine. In fact, it was them who felt threatened in his presence. They were tense and weary since the moment that boy suddenly appeared out of thin air at the top of the mountain made of dead hollows.

Kazui cupped his hands near his mouth and shouted loudly over the blowing wind. "I don't want any trouble either!"

Mom always told him that a good boy won't create trouble for other people and Kazui was a good boy.

His words sounded really genuine to the hollows. Then, there was an awkward silence, the three of them simply starred at each other.

"Can you help me to get down there?" Kazui called out with a sheepish expression, breaking the silence with his ask for help. The hollows blinked in response before the older man extended his arms, ready to catch him. Kazui jumped down to the waiting arms with a gleeful voice in a befitting tone for one as young as him. He didn't forget to thank the man politely. Mom and dad always told him to never forget to say thank you to the people who helped him.

"My name is Kurosaki Kazui! Nice to meet you two!" Kazui introduced himself with a bright smile.

"Coyote Starrk and this is Lilynette Gingerbuck." The man said with a blink while pointing his finger to the girl beside him.

"So, where is this? Do you know how I can get to Karakura Town from here? I need to go to school." Kazui asked while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"This is Hueco Mundo. We can open a Garganta for you." Starrk said quietly, offering his help to the human boy kindly.

"How did a human like you get lost in this place, anyway? Are you stupid or what?" Lilynette asked loudly while crossing her hands over her chest, managing to regain her spunk after a while.

The three of them were sitting on the sand, forming an incomplete circle.

"I don't know. This thing keep happening to me. I hope mom and dad are not mad at me." Kazui said with a rueful smile. He was supposed to be in school after all, doing a quiz in math, not chatting idly with some fellows in an unknown place with a lot of white sand.

"You are strong." Coyote Starrk said quietly to the boy, observing him for his reaction to that statement.

Well, dad always told him that Kazui was a strong boy. So, Kazui beamed at Starrk in response to his words.

"I am!" Kazui said with a bright grin, innocent and full of life.

"By the way, aren't you guys feel kind of lonely here?" There were only the two of them in this vast place before Kazui arrived after all and he needed to leave soon.

"No. Not anymore." Starrk said after a while, smiling at Lilynette who immediately smiled back at him.

Kazui smiled softly at the two of them before waving his hand in a goodbye when Starrk opened a thing called Garganta for him, telling him that at the end of the dark tunnel would be his hometown.

Kazui took a step forward towards the Garganta bravely, not at all afraid on putting his foot in the black void. He blinked once before he tried to put his other foot in the Garganta.

The keyword was tried. The black void disappeared. Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingetbuck disappeared. His feet was back again in the white sand. He was still in Hueco Mundo, only with a completely different companions this time.

There was a small panther-like being crouching in front of him. Behind him, there was a tall and slim fellow. He had a light purple body with two black line running down his body. His mask resembled a medieval knight, from the back of which a very long claw-tipped tail emerged. He had armor on his chest and his arms were skeletal with long sharp claw hands. His legs were slim and along with his feet were skeletal.

There was also a fellow with red hair, he got a broad, muscular chest and large shoulders. His legs and hips were covered in fur. There was one with a bull-like appearance in the group. He had long blonde hair, large armored shoulders and large horns protruded from either side of his mask. There was also one with a form that resembled a large, worm like creature with a crested, hammerhead shark-like head matching the remnants of his mask. The last one got a unique mask on it.

They started to surround him, all of them looked hungry and ready to pounce on him, like he was a prey, like he was their food.

Kazui blinked for a second before he took his candies from his pocket.

"Want some?" Kazui offered kindly with a gentle smile.

In response to the boy's kind offer, the small panther-like creature attacked him with its jaw wide open.

It slammed him to the ground, straddling him before it took a bite of his flesh by tearing his throat.

The pain didn't register to him. Before the tear even bled, it was bubbling with creatures resembling the shape of eye, closed and healed in an instant like he got some kind of a high-speed regeneration ability.

"What's that? It tickles!" Kazui said with a laugh, patting the creature with his hand. It snarled in response before leaping backwards, crouching warily before him.

"What the hell is that thing?" Grimmjow asked angrily with a snarl, today's dinner was pretty tricky.

"Huh?" Kazui tilted his head to the side in confusion.

Then, suddenly, he was engulfed by those eye-like creatures again, they spread to Grimmjow and his companions, covering them completely.

Grimmjow fought tooth and nail against those creatures. Damn it. He should have listened to his instinct when it told him that there was something off about today's dinner.

The creatures exploded and the six hollows transformed.

A figure with long face and grey eyes emerged. He got black hair which was braided and hanging over his shoulder. There was a remain of his mask on the top of his head with a portion dropping down to cover the upper-left half of his face and a long spoke that pointed to his right. There was a hole located in the center of his abdomen.

Another figure emerged, this one appeared to be very large and muscular, with brown eyes and long red hair, however, half of his hair was shaved and black on the left side. The remains of his Hollow mask were merely the eye holes, which rested on his nose, and it essentially looked as if he wore unusual glasses. There was a hole on his chest.

There was one with long blonde hair and red eyes. The remains of his Hollow mask sat atop his head, vaguely resembling a broken helmet. There was also a hole in the center of his chest.

Another one appeared, he was large and fat, he took a hunched position with his hands crossed on his back. His face was round and wide. He had small, brown eyes. His hair was dark brown and had a bowl hairstyle. The remains of his Hollow mask covered exactly half of his face. This one also got a hole in the center of his chest.

The fifth one got a square, shark-like teeth and short gray hair. It also got a hole in his chest. His right eye was identical to a normal hollow eye, a white circle surrounded by black shadows while his left eye was normal and grey. The remains of his Hollow mask was a bulky helmet similar in shape to a hammerhead shark and there was a gash on the top of his mask.

"Magic!" Kurosaki Kazui clapped his hands with a big smile in delight, eyes sparkling in a childlike wonder. He was thankfully back to normal again, no eye-like creatures in sight.

Then, he stopped clapping and widened his eyes, recognizing the sixth emerging figure. It was the rude guy who stopped him on his way to school.

"You are magic, kid." Grimmjow said with a smirk in response to his word.
