As they rode the train to Rukia's house Fai was concered about Ariel. She seemed really freaked out and didn't seem to understand what was going on. Fai didn't understand either. Another thing bothered him, the dark presence from before hasn't shown up again and nither did any hallows. There was no sign of any dark spirits and Fai was a soul reaper, they should be swarming to him like flies to you know what. He was a soul reaper after all they would love to get a piece of him. He didn't understand this.
Once they arrived at the place where Rukia was staying a boy with orange hair wearing a school uniform came out of the house. Fai sensed he had a lot of spirit energy. Was this the Ichigo Kurasaki he heard so much about?
Ichigo looked at Fai and freaked out.
"Hey what the heck are you doing here," he said "Are you here to pick a fight?"
"Oh, you can see me, you must be Ichigo then," replied Fai "Don't worry I'm not here to find but is Rukia here?"
"What do you want with her?"
"Fai?" called Rukia as she walked out of the house
"It's good to see you Rukia," said Fai "Its been a while."
"Its good to see you to but what are you doing here? And who is this girl?"
"Well...."
Fai told Rukia about everything he and Ariel went through and then asked for her opinion on the matter.
