He rememebered it as if it had happened just yesterday. It was two weeks after the Winter War against Umezu had ended. Umezu had fallen, and the rest of the arrancar defeated. They had won by nothing but pure luck, or at least that's what Diego had thought. It was all thanks to Kai. He had gave his all fighting Umezu... and had lost it all in the process.

He and the others had found Kai unconscious after the battle had ended, back in his original form. No matter what they would try to do, he wouldn't wake. Jakoby had told them that this was the end result of using Mugestu. He had sacrificed all of his shinigami and spiritual awareness abilities in order to take Umezu down. It was unlikely that he would ever get his powers back.

Kai had awoken on the cot in Jakoby's small shop, his friends and comrades gathered around him. He had been confused at first, until Jakoby had filled him in on what had happened. Jin and the other Shinigami that had remained - Sparra, Isshin, Vance, and Motoko - were strangely distant and silent. Diego remembered that look on Kai's face; that bittersweet looked when he was told that he was in the process of losing all of his powers. Isshin had then announced that it was time for them to head back to the Spiritual Realm. After that they headed outside to say their goodbyes.

Vance had been the last one to say his goodbye to Kai, and Diego could tell he had been hesitant to do so. He and Jakoby lingered off in the background, so they couldn't couldn't hear clearly what was being said. Kai had reached to shake Vance's hand and the lieutenant enveloped him in a tight hug as he began to literally disappear right before their eyes. The rest of the shinigami also vanished.

Moments had passed and Kai was still in the same spot, his head hung low. Diego walked over and put a gentle hand on his shoulder. Kai raised his head and gave him a small smile.

"I know what you're going to say, but I don't have any regrets."

Diego was speechless and with that being said, Kai walked off, his hands shoved in his pockets and his eyes casted towards the ground. Diego looked after him and then looked up at the vacant street where the shinigami had stood moments before.

He hoped that they would soon meet again.


Four years later, Diego awoke in his dorm with a start. He looked around the dark room and rubbed the remaining sleep from his eyes.

There had been no sign of any shinigami since then. Only hollows, in which he, Sano, and Kairi had been taking care of without Kai even knowing about it. Kai hadn't regained any trace of his shinigami powers, just like Jakoby had predicted. So the three of them had decided that they would protect Kai from harm's way, no matter what.

A lone person was sitting down on a bench on the side of the road. Their hand was on their glasses and it looked like they were expecting something

"...."

Silence. There seemed to be nothing around except people walking by and cars zooming past. The person brought his hand down from his glasses, a smirk appearing on their face

"Got ya...."

Diego grabbed his bookbag and headed out for his first class of the morning. Somehow, with all they days they had missed from fighting hollows and whatnot, they had made it into college. Diego was still in shock, actually, being that he hadn't really tried hard when he was in high school.

All four of them had went into different majors. He wasn't really sure of Kairi, Sano, or Kai's for that matter, but he knew he was the only one majoring in Music Production. Or at least trying to, he thought. There had been a lot more hollows around in the last few weeks, something that wasn't sitting well with him.

And even though they had been training together, they had grown a bit more distant in the past four years. He was sure there were things he didn't know about the rest of his friends, just like he knew for certain that there were things he was doing now that none of them would never begin to have any idea about...

The person jumped up as something materialised in his hands, but as fast as it happened it ended. The figure landed back onto the floor and pushed their glasses back up. This was Sano, you remember him right? The Quincy? Yeah? Good then...

Ever since that incidident he has kept himself to hmself, only showing his face when he has a Hollow to deal with. He is now in College studying History, he likes it okay, and he was surpised he could actually make it in, due to all the school he missed. He looked at his watch as he began walking

"Good...still able to get there on time"

He entered his classroom, the seats already beginning to fill. He took he usual spot next to the door and plopped down lazily into his chair, headphones on and the rest of the noise tuned out. He cracked open his notebook and took out his phone - Jakoby would usually send text messages if he needed any help or if there was a hollow in the vicinity.

His classmates thought it was pretty odd that he always ran out of class and would ask him why. Diego usually lied and told them he had really bad stomach problems. It was a crappy lie, but it was the only one that worked because they would get grossed out and never ask again.

Sano was always early to class and was usually one of the first people to get in. There have been a couple of occasions when he has been late, from killing Hollows, but he is usually able to think fast and give good reasons as to why. He also takes part in an after school activity, being archery and is the best in his group and has been picked for the tournament that is coming up, everyone has high expectations of him

On the other hand....

Smeoewho still has no hope for anythung...well....maybe that's a bit to harsh....ah well. Remember the female of the group? Yes that one....annoying voice...had a weird obssession for Kai....yeah that's the one....Kairi. well she is also in college and is studying...errr...what was it again....well it was somethng...and she is the same loud person she has always been, but there is something different about her. Her Kai obssession has gone...LOLWHUT?! Yes that is correct folks...she has finally realised she has no chance with Kai...and has moved on from him, apart from that she is the same old Kairi. She frequently spots Hollows and quickly diposes of them

So you know what has happened to 3 of the 4.....want to hear where the 4th one is?

The class had begun and Diego, yet again wasn't paying attention. His attention was focused on the door beside him, yet he was lost in deep thought.

He had been very worried about Kai. His friend hadn't spoken, even uttered the word "shinigami" since that day four years ago, and no one wanted to bring the incident up to him. They were all to scared of what would happen if they did. Diego played around with his phone, frowning. He usually saw him on his way to class and they would chat for a few moments before going their separate ways, but today he hadn't seen him at all. Maybe he had pulled an all nighter or something.

Or it could be that Diego had overslept again. He had been doing that a lot lately. And it wasn't entirely his fault given the current circumstances he was in.

And here we are...

"Hey get me a number 3 on table 5.....", came the voice of a man behind a counter

Someone came whizzing out from the door to the left of the man behind the counter with a plate of food. They set them down onto the table and began walking bck towars he counter

"Done, anymore orders?"

That was a familiar voice...

"Hmmm....about 5 more....damn we are so short staffed today...."

The man shook his head but smiled

"Good job we hired you Kai...we'd be screwed if it weren't for you"

Yes you heard right, Kai Haineko, the hero of our past tales, ex-Shinigami...was now working in a restaurant. He was studying Sports Science at college andhad a part-time job on the side to help with costs

"I'm not that great", He replied
"No...you really are, you're a great help to us", the man replied, "But now I need you to get 3 nmber 6's to table 10"

Kai nodded as he walked back through the door

Diego would have fell asleep if his phone hadn't buzzed in the nick of time. A text message from Jakoby. He dragged the arrow on the screen and read the message:

There's a hollow on Okumura Street about five minutes away from your location. Be quick about it. Also if you need anything, feel free to stop by my shop.

Diego rolled his eyes. He grabbed his bag and ran out of the classroom at full-speed, leaving his instruction a bit pressed and confused. In about five seconds flat he was out of the building, and in another few minutes he was on Okumura Street, alert as ever. He dropped his bag and grabbed his arm, manifesting the armor on it. The air was energized and he could feel the presence around him.

A loud roar sounded behind him and he turned around just as the hollow lunged at him. Diego dodged and grabbed the hollow's face. He smirked and his arm flared up, the hollow's head exploding in his vice grip. The decapitated body flew back and vanished as soon as it had came. His arm reverted back to normal and he sighed. This one had been weaker than the others he had fought in the last week. What a waste of time.

Sano was sitting in his class reading a book, of course he sensed that Hollow, but he knew someone else would sort it out so he didn't move from his seat

"Stupid things...."

But then there was another shift in spiritual pressure. He shut his book and sighed as he looked at the clock. He knew class was pretty much over now so he wasn't really in a rush

"Even if I don't get to it...someone else will"
