The Legend of the Kyubi

"Are you coming, Neko-chan?" -asked Kurama while noticing how the cat nodded and jumped on his shoulder- "Hold on tight because this is going to be a little crazy."     

When he finished speaking, the two disappeared from the place without a trace, leaving the remaining group with serious expressions on their faces.     

"Kisuke" - Shinji muttered seriously as he looked at his old friend.     

"I know what you mean, but we'd better not get on that man's bad side" - replied Kisuke seriously - "He's not a danger to us or this dimension."     

"For now" - Hiyori added with a cold expression on her face - "We don't know how he will react after hearing the 'other versions' of our story, not to mention that the Soul Society is not as cute as it sounds."     

"I know, but for now it's better to form a good relationship with him" - Kisuke answered seriously while waiting for good news from Yoruichi.     

* * * * *     

"What was that speed!" - Yoruichi exclaimed because it was the first time he felt he was going that fast.     

"That's my basic speed" - replied Kurama calmly as he shrugged his shoulders.     

"That was your basic speed?!" - Yoruichi couldn't believe her ears because the albino's speed was far superior to hers using all her abilities.     

"Exactly, but I think we'd better save that conversation for another time because we found our target" - Kurama replied as he squinted his eyes as he found a beautiful brown-haired woman who had a strange aura about her. She was holding hands with an orange-haired boy who was her son.     

"Masaki-san?!" - Yoruichi exclaimed in surprise.     

"You know her?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow.     

"She's the wife of an old friend of mine" - replied Yoruichi, but her expression changed as she felt a Hollow slowly approaching her location.     

"Two birds with one stone" - muttered Kurama as he watched the huge white beast approaching its prey.     

"You don't have to worry" - said Yoruichi calmly - "She's stronger than you think."     

"You never have to be overconfident, Neko-chan" - Kurama replied as he gave her a blank look.     

* * * * *     

"Okaasan" - said the little orange-haired boy as he noticed the presence of a huge white-haired monster.     

"Don't worry, son" - said Masaki as she stood in front of her son, though inwardly she cursed herself for not spotting the Hollow much earlier.     

"Interesting... I see that your soul is much stronger than I thought? Great food for me, Grand Fisher!" - Roared the Hollow as it ran against the family.     

The Hollow was about to attack, but was surprised when he noticed how the woman's appearance changed slightly, though he recognized it immediately - "A Quincy!"     

Masaki was silent as she activated her [Blut Vene] and stood on guard - "Stay away, Hollow, I don't want to fight you."     

"No" - roared the Hollow called Grand Fisher - "Your soul will be the nourishment needed to b evolve!"     

Masaki was preparing to attack when she felt her heart stop - "Huh?"     

Grand Fisher understood that something had happened, so he quickly lashed out at his prey.     

"Why can't I use my abilities?!" - Masaki exclaimed in her thoughts as she felt her body getting weaker and weaker - "What's going on?!"     

"I don't know what's going on, but your soul is mine, Quincy!" - Grand Fisher roared excitedly     

"Run, Ichigo!" - Masaki shouted as she realized that she was dead weight at the moment. She couldn't move her body and her Spiritual Energy was dwindling.     

"Okaasan!" - Ichigo exclaimed with tears in his eyes as he watched his mother screaming at him to run away.     

"I'm sorry, my baby" - murmured Masaki as a sad smile appeared on her lips, but her expression changed when she felt a warm aura surround her body - "Huh?"     

"I think it's still too early to give up" - Kurama said as he stopped the time of the place.     

"Masaki-san!" - Yoruichi exclaimed in terror as she watched her friend almost die.     

"Y-Yoruichi-san?" - Masaki asked wearily as she heard that familiar voice.     

"We can talk later, now I'm going to take care of that Hollow, and then I'll see the reason why your soul is slowly being consumed" - said Kurama while squinting his eyes as he saw the reason why the woman couldn't defend herself.     

Yoruichi's eyes widened in terror when she heard Kurama's words. She had heard about a Hollow that could parasitize the soul of a Shinigami or Quincy, but it was the first time she heard about someone consuming another person's soul without making any contact.     

Kurama quickly walked over to the Hollow and used his Ningendo (Human Path) on the Hollow as he stuck his right hand into the Hollow's mouth. He slowly pulled hard as the beast's screams of pain echoed in the area.     

Yoruichi shivered as he watched the silhouette he had pulled out of the Hollow's mouth slowly take the form of an overweight human sailor.     

"M-Mercy" - a man's haggard voice echoed in the ears of those present.     

"Mercy does not exist for those who commit so many sins" - Kurama replied as his shadow changed shape, taking the appearance of a huge ten-tailed fox. The shadow slowly rose and with one firm bite consumed the entire body of the Hollow's soul.     

Yoruichi shivered when she saw such a brutal scene, but an expression of surprise appeared on his face as he watched the shadow spit out a small sphere with great concentration of Spiritual Energy.     

"Beautiful, isn't it?" - Kurama said as he took the sphere and threw it into the sky to disappear after a few seconds - "That was the soul core of that Hollow, now that I have consumed all his memories and experiences of all his lives, he can enter Samsara and start from scratch."     

"I thought you had devoured it completely" - Yoruichi muttered in surprise.     

Kurama said nothing in response, he just walked over to where Masaki and put his hand on his forehead, only to frown when he felt a familiar aura - "A low level primordial in other words, the one responsible is the origin of this lady's race."     

"Masaki's race origin?" - Yoruichi repeated, only to widen her eyes in terror that Quincy's origin could only be one entity - "Impossible"     

"Y-Yhwach" - muttered Masaki as she felt the speed of her soul's absorption, grow considerably - "Y-Your Majesty, why?"     

"Anyway, I'd better fix this to prevent accidents" - said Kurama while snapping his fingers - "Done."     

"Huh?" - Masaki opened her eyes in surprise as she felt vitality return to her again, as well as a mysterious power she couldn't identify - "What did you do?"     

"I broke your connection with that Yhwach guy" - Kurama answered calmly - "I also recovered some of your vitality with my chakra, although it's a pity that your abilities were lost, so you'll have to train again, but thanks to my chakra, your energy will now be much stronger than before."     

"How?" - Masaki couldn't believe that even though her Reiatsu was much weaker, her body felt like new.     

"I already told you, with my chakra" - Kurama replied while shrugging his shoulders - "Anyway, you better go to your son, the last thing he saw was that thing attacking you."     

"Ichigo!" - Masaki exclaimed as she ran to her son, only to notice how he was completely frozen.     

"Relax, it's just an effect of my technique" - replied Kurama as he deactivated his seal and in the process, making everything return to normal.     

"Okaasan!" - Ichigo shouted in terror, only to open his eyes in surprise to see his mother in front of him - "Okaasan!"     

"We'd better leave them alone to calm down" - muttered Kurama as he motioned Yoruichi to jump his shoulder again.     

"That was kind and sweet of you" - smiled Yoruichi as she licked the white-haired man's cheek.     

"I couldn't let such a little boy be left without his mother" - Kurama replied as he shook his head - "He is the same age as my youngest son."     

"Younger son?" - Yoruichi asked curiously.     

"I'll tell you more about them later, for now, let's go" - said Kurama as a small smile appeared on his lips as he remembered his sons - "I got what I wanted".     

"You mean when you devoured the Hollow?" - Yoruichi asked curiously.     

"Exactly" - replied Kurama as the two disappeared from the place.     

Masaki gave them one last look of thanks before hugging her son gently. She would not forget what had happened and promised herself that she would repay the favor to the white-haired man in the future.     

"Okaasan?" - Ichigo asked curiously as he looked at his mother.     

"Sorry, son" - smiled Masaki as she stroked her baby's hair - "Let's go back home, I'm sure your father must be worried about us."     

"OK!" - Ichigo exclaimed with a huge smile.
