Kisuke watched behind his trusty hat nervously as Yoruichi cuddled a small form close to her. "You do know," he began after a slight pause, "that we're supposed to kill the Arrancar, right?" Yoruichi turned at this question and gave the scientist a glare, making the woman feel better as her childhood friend cringed at the threat behind it.
"Kisuke, look at him, he's like a lion cub that's lost his pride. He's so sweet; I can't just leave him like this." Sighing, Kisuke obeyed the request and looked up into a smaller pair of gold eyes. The eyes were set on a pale feminine but still boyish face that was framed by raven black hair shortened all around except for the long braid that ran down his back.
He was dressed in an inverted shinigami outfit, and cradled in his hands was a saber-tooth skull. His gold eyes closed as the blonde man in front of him reached out and began to pet his hair, and after examining the boy's health, Kisuke began to speak again.
"I don't think Ggio is an Arrancar anymore, Yoruichi. I think when Soi Fon used her Shikai on him, his body somehow created an antigen to fight against the poison. So when Soi Fon hit him a second time, instead of killing him, Ggio was given an "injection" of shinigami captain reiatsu. This changed the balance from being Hollow-dominant to being shinigami-dominant." After he said this, Kisuke was subject to an older pair of gold eyes.
"So you think Ggio transformed from an Arrancar to a Vizard?"
"Exactly."
Silence surrounded the trio, before the previously silent Ggio spoke up. "What should I do, then? I can't go back to the others; even if that was a choice, there's no one to go back to." The once prideful Fraccion had nothing: no one to serve, no one to kill for, no one to die for. He felt like nothing.
He felt himself start slightly as the cat-woman lifted his eyes to meet hers. Gold clashed with gold as the two feline-like beings communicated silently. Finally, Yoruichi spoke. "Has anything changed in your new zanpakutou?" Ggio stared at her for a second before closing his eyes. He opened them a few seconds later, and answered steadily.
"My battle form has changed. I think I transform into a tiger, but I look slightly different. That's all I know, I'm sorry." Yoruichi quieted him with a soft "it's fine" and turned to look at Kisuke. The scientist looked at Yoruichi for a little longer before sighing, dropping his head and muttering something that sounded like, "You have to be the only cat that can pull off the puppy-eyed looked, Yoruichi," and looking up again.
"Fine, he can stay with the other Vizards, if they approve. Let's go." Standing straighter, Kisuke waited while Yoruichi transformed into her cat-form, when something odd happened. After seeing the feline woman transform, Ggio stared at her new form in shock for a little while before closing his eyes and concentrating. A few seconds later, the young Vizard disappeared in a familiar cloud of smoke. Once the cloud disappeared, a small yellow and black tabby kitten stood in Ggio's place. Kisuke sighed again. "Great, now there are two of them."
When I first wrote this, I was considering putting it as a chapter for Affection. I decided not to. I'm thinking about putting this as a series of one-shots, like Affection. When I saw Ggio for the first time, I thought he was adorable. I think you could technically write him as Soi Fon's brother, her lover, or her and Yoruichi's love-child (this is all based on his personality, his physical appearance, and his release forms).
Things are a little different in this fic; Vega and Soi Fon's fight happened a lot earlier in the timeline. That gives me more time to work with Vega. I first wrote it so that he was the last alive of his group, I guess I'll change it to where he was abandoned by the others. Also, in Affection, the other Vizards, without knowing, release their Hollows at night if Kisuke is around. Since Vega was an Arrancar first, he and his Hollow are perfectly fused together, so Vega's Hollow won't be fighting him for control.
Also, which is his first name; Ggio of Vega? Another question; how old do you think Ggio looks physically?
Please Review.
Ja ne!
