Don’t own

Legacy of Nobody

Part 2

Hoshi ran around town trying to find the mysterious girl Senna; he and Ichigo had decided to split up and cover more ground, they would call each other if they found anything.

“This is so pointless, I’d be faster if I went Shinigami.” He pulled out the Soul Candy dispenser but thought better of. “No after last time I don’t want to leave my body unattended for too long, not that I don’t trust Nova.” He had remembered when he was presented the various characters that one could get from Soul Candy, he decided on Nova the Turtle, someone who would most likely sit there until he came back. His cell phone rang and he pulled it out. “Hello.” He listened for a second. “You found her, where are you guys now?” another pause. “I’ll be there as soon as I can.” He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket. He thought for a moment and popped some Soul Candy into his mouth and emerged in Shinigami form. “Nova, go back to my apartment and wait for me.”

“Yes Hoshi.” And he walked off.

“Okay Ichigo said that they he was helping her around town, sounds like he’s on a date; damn he’s got Rukia and now Senna, and what about me who do I got, absolutely no one.” He sighed. “Oh well might as well go find Ichigo.” He said as he flashed away unaware that somewhere in Soul Society that a certain 12th division lieutenant was currently sneezing.

Across town

A graveyard came into view he had sensed that Ichigo’s reiatsu was coming from there, Ichigo was fighting one of those black armored men; he could see Senna running from another. Hoshi jumped down so he could block the blow of one of the men.

“Yo why don’t you pick on someone your own size.” He pushed the large man back.

“The boss never said there would be two of them, retreat.” The man said before he and his companions vanished without trace.

“Well that was close.” Said Senna. “Well let’s go now.” She started wandering off.

“Oy I come all the way across town to save your butt, I deserve some answers.” He reached and grabbed her hand and more memories assaulted his mind.

Flash

He saw a woman light brown hair and jade green eyes; she was sitting in a nursery cradling a baby.

“Oh you sure are fussy tonight aren’t eh Will-chan.” Said the woman. She attempted to feed the baby but he spat the bottle out. “Not hungry. Come on Will-chan you’ve got to sleep sometime.” She sighed and began to rock him and hum a lullaby; it was the same song Hoshi had heard at the woman’s wedding. In only a few minutes the baby was sleeping soundly.

Flash

Hoshi stumbled back holding his head.

“You okay?” asked Senna

“I’m fine. Hey Ichigo.”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s get out of here.”

“Sure.”

Ichigo’s house

They had decided to head to Ichigo’s as his house was closer; after telling some sob story to his father he had allowed Senna to stay the night. Although Hoshi couldn’t shake the feeling that despite the fact that he was still in Shinigami form that he wasn’t invisible to the Kurosaki family. After everyone had calmed down and Senna had fallen asleep Hoshi sat on the floor thinking.

“Ne, Hoshi is something bothering you?” asked Ichigo

“It’s Senna it’s just something about her.” Hoshi looked over to her sleeping form. “Every time I come in contact with her I get these images in my head; errant memories. Aizu-sensei said their random memories but both have been about the same woman.”

“Do you know who she is?”

“I think…I think she’s my mother.” Hoshi sighed. “It’s weird I never gave much thought about my parents; it was always just Aizu-sensei but now because of Senna; I want to learn who I am find out who my parents were.”

“I guess you never realize how good you have it until someone put it into perspective; my mother may be gone but at least I got to know her. I grew up with a family but you had nothing.”

“Hey don’t turn this into a pity party now.”

“Geez sorry; hey you gonna be okay staying a Shinigami all night like that?”

“Yeah it be a pain to go back to get my body and come back here at this point; besides that way I’m ready if those guys comeback.”

“Whatever just don’t make too much noise I don’t need to explain weird noises to my family; I doubt they’ll believe an invisible man.”

“Something tells me I’m not that invisible.” Hoshi muttered

“What?”

“Nothing just go to bed or something.” Hoshi sighed and leaned back this was going to be a long night.

Later that night.

Hoshi stirred slightly in his sleep and only opened his eyes for second as he adjusted his position on the floor. Suddenly he opened his eyes as he realized Senna was gone.

“Damn it.” He stood up. “She wandered off again.” He walked over to Ichigo who fell asleep at his desk. “Ichigo get your ass up!” he shook him roughly. Unfortunately due to years of abuse from his father he woke up punching hitting Hoshi square between the eyes. “Ahh son of a bitch.” Hoshi swore Hoshi holding his aching head.

“Geez Hoshi don’t surprise me like that. What’s the deal?”

“Senna’s gone you idiot that’s the deal.”

“What?” he looked around. “You were supposed to keep watch.”

“Look arguing isn’t going to find Senna.” Ichigo gave a resigned sigh.

“Fine let’s go.” He said grabbing his badge and transforming into a Shinigami. They both jumped out the window and sped off in different directions to find the wayward girl. After a few minutes of searching and calming down he managed to focus enough to sense her reiatsu. He arrived in the same cemetery that he had rescued her from earlier that day.

“Senna!” Hoshi yelled as he landed behind her.

“Oh hey Hoshi.” She said with that same smile.

“What are you doing here Senna?”

“I know I lived in this town once and the proof is here somewhere.”

“Senna that’s all fine and good but you could have waited until morning. Do you even know where to start looking?”

“No not really.” Hoshi sighed

“If I help you look do you promise to come back with me?”

“Scout’s honor.”

“Do you even know what a scout is?”

“Nope.” She smiled again. “C’mon this way.” She ran off with Hoshi following close behind.

“Do you have any idea what to look for a name or something like that?”

“No I just feel something this way.” She stopped in front of head stone and kneeled down in front of it. “I thought I felt something from here; but it doesn’t ring any bells. Hoshi you live here do you know any Ryuzakis?”

“What did you say?”

“Ryuzaki it’s the family name on this tombstone.” Hoshi looked visibly disturbed now.

Calm down Hoshi; Ryuzaki is a common name. He glanced over at the tombstone but there in plain sight etched into stone were the names of those who were buried here.

Ryuzaki Koji

Ryuzaki Lillian

Hoshi fell to his knees overwhelmed; he had never really cared much about his birth parents after all he never knew them. But to be confronted with something like this so suddenly he just couldn’t take it.

“It can’t be.” He said his voice breaking.

“What is it do you know who’s grave this is?”

“It’s my parents.” Hoshi said almost in a whisper then he noticed a third name on the stone.

Ryuzaki William

“And mine.”

Well so ends part two hopefully part three will be the final part. So what is Senna’s connection to Hoshi’s parents? Well find out next time.
