Keiko Skipped gleefully above Tokyo while giggling excessively.
"Come on Shiro-Chan! You're so slow!"
"Come on! Come back and fight!"
"But why would I want to hurt such a cute little face?"
Keiko dodged Hitsugaya's attacks effortlessly and disappeared into thin air. She reappeared high above the irritated captain and continued to taunt him.
"Up here!" She said.
Hitsugaya followed suit and attacked aiming for the chest, but she disappeared again and left him annoyed, "Would you stop playing games?"
"Oh but where is the fun in that?"
He looked down and she was just standing there smirking at him.
"Ya know, this is slightly pathetic. I expected more from you, Captain…hmm…guess I overestimated you."
Hitsugaya frowned…'who is this annoying girl, and what is her point? She isn't fighting at all…it is almost as if she is leading me somewhere….or away from something,'
Keiko smirked, 'Everything is going as planned…'
"Time for phase two," she said and snapped her fingers.
"What the h***," Hitsugaya frowned. There was suddenly a massive shift in spiritual pressure. He quickly glanced around while keeping an eye on the quirky Arrancar. While he was contemplating, she was just standing there looking at her nails. He decided to use this opportunity. Maybe he could catch her off guard. He vanished and reappeared behind her striking down with his Zanpakuto. Alas she simply moved out of the way as she had done dozens of times before.
"Missed again," She said in a singsong voice.
"Why won't you just stand and fight, are you just that weak? I'm disappointed. When I noticed that shift in spiritual pressure, I thought I might actually have to put some effort into this battle."
"That is awful big talk for such a little guy, but if you insist…" She smiled mischievously and pulled out her Zanpakuto. Then she pulled it up to her face and frowned, "Why does this thing always have to be so difficult?" She wrestled with it for a moment and pulled it apart. She now had two of the same long-bladed Zanpakuto.
Suddenly Wonderweiss appeared out of thin air along with Grimmjow. Once again the battle ceased.
"Hey did the pretty fluffy kitty-cat and idiot boy complete their mission?"
Grimmjow ignored her and looked over at Hitsugaya, "Did we interrupt something? Looks like short, white, and serious is pretty p-d off."
"Get out of the way, this is between me and him. I was actually having fun!"
"That's ok, I guess I'll just have to kill all of you! Soar into the frozen sky, Hyorinmaru!"
A huge dragon made of ice appeared and roosted itself upon Hitsugaya's shoulders then launched into the air, heading straight for the three Arrancars. Keiko was the only one who seemed to care. She quickly dodged the attack just in time to see Grimmjow and Wonderweiss frozen in huge chunks of ice and Hitsugaya standing carelessly next to them.
Suddenly a there was a very loud wail.
"You idiot! Get out of the way!"
"What," he said irritated, "They're frozen."
She leapt towards them, grabbed Hitsugaya and ran at full speed away from the time bomb.
"You know, I can run! You don't have to carry me!" Hitsugaya said angrily.
Keiko stopped, tossed Hitsugaya aside and stood in front of him. Suddenly the huge chunks of ice exploded and a big red beam headed straight for them. Keiko stood there, holding her Zanpakutos in a defensive position. The powerful Cero collided with the blades and repelled backwards twice the size it was before.
"You guys are so stupid! We completed our mission, now go back and report to Ulquiorra!"
"Aaaaaah?" Wonderweiss said in his childlike tone. A dragonfly hummed next to him and he was immediately distracted.
"You never let anyone have any fun Keiko," said Grimmjow, clearly bored.
"I'm still more powerful than you Grimmjow! Take Idiot Boy and go report to Ulquiorra!"
Grimmjow traced an imaginary line with his nail and went inside the portal. Wonderweiss followed obediently, with the dragonfly in his hand.
"Hmmph, they are so dumb," Keiko sheathed her Zanpakuto and tossed her hair. She stood there for a moment running her fingers through her hair, "Ugh, he broke my nail…"
"Whose side are you on anyway?"
"Yeah…I'll probably get in trouble for that later…sooo…what now?"
Hitsugaya looked away, "You don't really seem like you belong with them."
"I don't really…but I can't change what I am. Plus there are a few perks. It's not working with them, I assure you. But I do get to fight Reapers like you. I'll be looking forward to our next battle. See ya around shorty," she said. She gave him one last smile that Hitsugaya thought was hiding something…perhaps sadness? She left before he got a chance to say anything.
Hitsugaya leapt across the the golden toned city-scape until he reached his destination. He leaned against the fence by the road and looked out over the cliff at the sunset while pulling out his cell phone. For a moment he felt happy, but the more he thought about it, the more he hoped no one would find out this strange battle.
