A Bleach Fan Fiction
Chapter 1: The Special Day
As the sun rose over the hills to shine upon the great city of Mari the young princess rose from her bed with great anticipation. Without even waiting for her chambermaid the 12 year old quickly got dressed and bolted from her room, zipping by the chamber maid as she passed.
The chambermaid chuckled as the princess ran around the corner then turned back to tidy up after the little one.
About five minutes later a guard walked by and saw the chambermaid still standing in the entrance to the room.
"M'lady Clementine is every thing all right" The guard asked as he approached.
As he looked over her shoulder he could she that her eyes were wide with shock and her mouth was agape. Looking into the room the guard was taken aback as the place looked as if a tornado had ripped though the room.
"The little princess dressed herself again?" The guard said turning back to the chambermaid. He then noticed a grinding sound and looked down to see the bucket Clementine was carrying being ground into a fine powder.
"And that is my cue to leave" the guard says as he jumps back to continuing his patrol, all the while trying not burst out laughing.
The princess, of course saw none of this as she ran for her fathers chambers pausing only long enough to snatch a hot honey cake from a passing servant. As she rounded the last corner she quickly came to a screeching stop as she saw four men standing out side of her fathers chambers all dressed completely in black leather and wearing long flowing cloaks. But what unnerved the princess was not the clothing but the golden masks each of them wore.
Each mask had a unique design and style but they were all ways very unnerving.
Daddy's 'special' unit the princess thought to her self as she looked around the corner at the solders They always give me the creeps.
Maybe I should come back at a later – "No!" she said aloud as she stomped her foot. She then quickly snapped her head back as she realized that she had just shouted.
No! I will not let them ruin this day, Today is supposed to be special.
The princess looked around the corner again then snapped her head back as one of the masked soldiers turned his head towards her.
OK I can do this. The princess thought to herself as she took a deep breath.
The princess then turned the corner and started to walk down the hall towards her fathers chamber with her head held high.
As she approached the room one of the masked soldiers looked down and gazed at the young girl. The princess shivered as he looked at her though what appeared to be rubies placed into the eye socket of the mask.
Just as she was about to enter the room she stopped as she heard her father speaking in a worried voice
"Are you sure the creature is still alive Munio?" The king asked in a gruff voice
"Yes your highness, we saw it escaping towards the docks and if it wasn't alive this would have disappeared"
The king eyed the bag that Munio had placed on the table before him
"What is in the bag Munio?" The king said
"One moment sir, you will need to use this to see it properly"
As the two were talking the princess slowly entered the room and hid behind the nearby dressers. She leaned around the dresser and saw her father talking to one of his special soldiers. This one was only wearing a golden mask large enough to cover his eyes and on his hand was a bracer with a large jewel in the center. As the princess watched the solider passed a monocle which appeared to have the same ruby as the masks the soldiers wore to her father.
The princess suddenly caught movement in the corner of her eye and she spun around to see two more of fathers special soldiers standing about five feet from her. Like the one talking with her father these two also only had their eyes covered by a mask. As she stares the one closest to her slowly starts turning his head to stare at the young princess.
Don't be scared, don't be scared The princess thought as she tried to suppress a shiver.
The figure stared at the young princess for what felt like an hour before suddenly surprised the princess by sticking out his tongue.
Startled the princess fell unto her rump which made the figure smile.
He then gave a pained expression as the second figure elbowed him in the gut.
The princess was about to let out a giggle when -
"Have something to say Devoveo?" Munio said with annoyance in his voice
Devoveo quickly glances down at the princess then back to Munio "No sir * Cough * just had a pain in my gut"
Munio stared at Devoveo for a moment before turning back to the king
The princess looked up at Devoveo who gave a quick wink before standing back at attention. She then peeked once again around the drawers and watched Munio slowly undo the knot and let the bag fall.
As the bag fell it reveled a giant clawed hand cut off at the wrist. The palm of the hand could easily hold the head of a man and the claws were almost as long as the princess arm.
"My word!" Said the surprised king.
"To wound the creature it took the combined force of 15 of my men" Munio said solemnly
"15? How many casualties?" The king asked
"3 dead, another 5 will unlikely make it though the week" Munio replied
"8 men lost only to cost the creature a hand" the king said with a sigh "Your sure it was here for her?"
"Yes sir"
"And you believe that it would attack if she left the castle"
"I do M'lord"
The king looked towards where the princess was hiding while removing the monocle and sighed.
"I am sorry daughter but we will have to postpone the preparations for the parade until another day"
The princess looked up from her hiding place, wetness in her eyes "B-But you promised daddy"
"Once this-this thing has been dealt with we can continue the preparations but until then you are forbidden from leaving the castle"
At hearing this the princess turned and fled the room weeping
"This is the best course of action sire" Munio said solemnly to his king.
"I know Munio" The king replied as he turned to look out the window. After staring out the window for a few moments he was about to look away when a commotion near the gate caught his attention.
"Munio" Said the king " What do you make of this?"
Munio looked out the window and saw two figures running from a group of the town guard
"It appears to be a more normal sort of trouble makers sire" Munio said as he pulled a diamond out of a pouch at his side and held it in front of one of his eyes.
"However with these two, the guards may not be enough"
The king looked back out the window squinting "But they look like children!" he exclaimed.
The king was suddenly taken aback as he watched the two figures come across another group of guardsmen and weave there way between them barely slowing. He continued to watch until they went down a side ally and went out of view.
"What is my kingdom coming to if two children can evade ten of my guards"
"Do not worry sir" Munio said hiding a smile. "My people will handle them"
Munio then looked back at the other two figures in the room and with a quick nod they turned and left the room.
"Very well then Munio" The king replied with a sigh.
The king turned to look back out the window as he tried to think back to where he had seen those darting figures before.
