~The Vizard and the Strawberry~

Theme song: Second chance By: Shine down

"One decision can change…everything" ??????????-

A girls body lay in a puddle of blood from first glance you'd think she was dead but some knew better…a boy along with six others appeared as they whispered amongst them selves, they made it apparent that they were some that knew better then to think this girl dead…taking her body as it slowly transformed into a hollow they fought it unknowing what her fate would be. Would she be able to restrain this demon? Or would she be swallowed and they be forced to kill her? Sixty three minutes eight seconds…as the girl turned back into a human and collapsed…a raged conversation began, "What now?"

"She's one of us now! She'll stay with us-!"

"No…"

"NANI?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO!?"

"I won't make her suffer this fate with us…"

"That's bull Shinji! And ya know it!"

"Shudup…"

"She's staying with us!"

"Shudup!"

"I don't care-!"

\"SHUDUP!" With that it was decided… "I'll take her to Kisuke…she'll be safe there…"

"That bastard…"

"Please understand! I can't do-"

"I know! Yer' in love with the girl! We all know!"

"Thank you…Hiyori…"

My eyes fluttered open to see an unpleasantly familiar face… "Been awhile…" the horribly irritating voice said, as I went on instinct and threw a fist knocking out some teeth, I continued to beat him up as he showed no sign of resistance, I realized I was in tears…as I struggled to talk in complete words making my voice as calm as a person who was gushing out tears could.

"Damn it…I want to kill you so much right now but I-I-I can't…" I said as I dropped him out of my grip and turned away.

"I'm sorry Kurenai…I-" he began.

"Shut up…Awai and Kurai already told me…" I said as I realized I was in a gigai, "Why am I in this?" I asked him as he told me it helped me heal faster, "Oh…" I said as I ate my food, a few days passed.

One day he came up and asked, "I was under the impression that you would ask me something about…?" he took a seat next to my on the side of the lake as I turned my head just barely to meet his eyes and shook my head.

I muttered, "I don't care about him anymore…he's just a relic of the past but if I ever do see him again I'll beat the living shit out of him…and walk away…" even as I spoke these words I knew they weren't true…well I would beat the living shit out of him…but I probably wouldn't be able to bring myself to walk away… "Ever since he left I've clung to that little piece of love I still had for him…but I've realized…I should just let it go…" I said that next part choosing my words carefully should…doesn't mean I could…

"Hahaha!" Kisuke laughed as I hit him.

"WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY?!" I yelled as he smirked.

Then said, "You've changed a lot in some ways…and in others…your exactly the same…just as dense as always…"

I glared at him and said, "That's not true…I AM NOT DENSE!" I shouted that last part…he's exactly like Awai! Always telling my how dense I am! He continued to laugh…I missed that laugh…it was that laugh that I wasn't able to hear in seventy years…

"What do you plan to do now Kurenai?" he asked as I said under my breath sarcastically, "Finished laughing have you?" as I answered his question laying back on the grass.

"I have no idea…maybe I'll go see the west…I've always wanted to go there…" I was in soul form now so I should be able to get there somewhat soon, I looked back down at his smirk as I remembered something I needed to ask him, "What did you do with the Hogyoku?" he blinked and his face was blank with emotion.

He turned to look back at the sunset as I saw a hint of a smirk he said smugly, "That's another story…" I hated the way he hid things like this!

"Geez…Kisuke you haven't changed in the slightest…" he frowned at this but quickly had a smile back on, "You're the type who doesn't make things happen…you're the type who plans the events and watch's from the background while others turn your stupid idea's into reality…in other words you're a lazy old bastard who doesn't do worth crap…" he smiled as he smiled.

"Yup!" he declared almost to proudly, with a lazy goofy grin.

"Yet your flaw is you have no shame about it!" I shouted. A black cat suddenly appeared, holding my Zanpaku-to in it's mouth, "Give them back!" I shouted as the cat…SHUNPO?! Yoruichi…I decided to try a new sort of attack as I used my own shadow step and caught the cat by it's neck.

"Hand them over Yoruichi!" I shouted as it dropped the Zanpaku-to and started laughing, she transformed back into a human as I realized she was nude… "PUT SOME CLOTHES ON DAMN IT!" I shouted.

Kisuke popped up she said referring to Kisuke, "What? It's not like you haven't seen my body before!" I caught the meaning of that as I threw a rather sharp rock at her and stormed back into the shop…this perverted stuff must get worse with old age…their ringing laugh hollered as the next morning I said goodbye and left…

I'm not angry I'm just saying…some times good bye is a second chance~
