Melting Hearts
Chapter 1
The sun was going down and the streets had begun to clear as shops closed for the night. The setting sunlight made the brick roads and buildings glow. Nobody noticed the closing Garganta.
'Humans are very unobservant to things not madeobvious' I thought to myself as I left the small trash filled alleyway. As I made my way down the street to my destination I noticed people pointing and whispering as I passed them. I found them repeating the same cliché statement over and over. 'Look, he must be a Cross Academy student' or 'he's so cute' and sometimes 'he's wearing a day class uniform but he looks like a night class student.' Observation 1, to add to mymemory for latter, humans are very vain and judgmental. Not that their opinion effects me in anyway.
I walked till building started to space themselves out and the brick turned to gravel. Large trees lined the roadway and the only sound that dared break the deathly silence was cicadas streaking among the branches.
It was dusk when I finally made it to the large gothic building. The gates were closed, but I could see my welcoming party on the other side. They were both wearing the same standard issued uniform as me except the women wore a short skirt instead of pants. The male was slightly taller the normal. His hair was silver and slightly messy. He wore his uniform in a sloppy manner and had the first few buttons undone. The thing that struck me most was his eyes; they were a silvery violet color. Overall his spiritual pressure was very dilute and the only thing mentionable about it was the dark after feel I got when analyzing it. The girl on the other hand was quite normal. Her hair was brown and her eyes were a brown wine color. Her pressure felt like any ordinary human.
The women smiled and waved beckoning me over closer to the gate. It slowly swung open with a loud creak of resistance. I proceeded to walked, with both of my hands in my pockets, toward the humans my face in its usual expression of indifference. I noticed as I got closer the cheery woman stopped flailing her arms and stiffened. The man also followed her lead except he made his disapproval more evident by deeply scowling at me. I hadn't expected such a strong reaction that the man gave me. I review his spiritual pressure once more. He seemed to have enough to sense something off about me, something not human. It didn't matter if he knew or not. The one who gave me this mission said it was ok to tell someone if I quote "take a liking to them". He took a step forward in a very protective way as if he could save the woman if I decided to do her harm. After a few seconds of what one could call an awkward silence the women decided to speak.
"Uhm… Hello my names Yuki Cross and this is Zero Kiryu." She said hesitantly motioning the man now identified as Zero Kiryu. "We're the school guardians and we're here to show you to the headmasters office uhmm…"
"My name is Ulquiorra Cifer."
Zero's Perspective.
Yuki and I were both waiting for the new student when I first felt it. It was dark and evil. It made my mind explode and my stomach turn and twist. My body tensed waiting for my mind to decide flight or fight.
When we finally saw him approaching the gate Yuki began waving him to us, and I wanted nothing more to call here stupid then grab her and run for it. The gate swung open and he approached us. I could see Yuki tense up and lean away from him. I knew she couldn't feel someone's aurora like I could but his look alone could make someone feel very intimidated and scared. He had fairly short and messy hair that was ink black. His skin was pale almost an ash color. He was average height and his frame was quite slender but not scrawny. His eyes where the most intense emerald green I think I have ever seen and his pupils were slits much like a cat's or snake's eyes would be. Even thought they were extremely shocking they were blank and doll like. His enterer domineer was completely blank. He stood completely strait both hand in his pockets. He gave off the feeling of superiority and that just pissed me off.
I took a step closer to Yuki because his entire being screamed dangerous. His evergreen eyes snapped to my face catching my movement. I suppressed a shudder and sent him a hard glare instead. Most people would have flinched but he just looked toward Yuki instead as he listened to her cheerful but hesitant babble.
"My name is Ulquiorra Cifer" he said in a blank and monotone voice that felt like someone pored cold water down my back. I forced away another shiver as I turned away to take him to the headmaster's office.
"Hay! Wait up Zero! Sorry Ulquiorra he's just grumpy today." Yuki apologized. "Just follow us and we'll take you to the Chairmen's office. O.K. Zero wait for us!" Yuki said as she started running after me with Ulquiorra close on her heels. I noticed that even though he picked up in speed all I could hear was mine and Yuki's feet against the hard concrete.
I lead the way while Yuki walked next to him. I could feel his cold dead eyes burrowing holes into my back. His dark aurora filled the air around us. Its heaviness really started to bug me until I felt it completely disappear. I stop and turned around sharply on my heels alarmed I couldn't feel him anymore.
"Zero what's wrong?" Yuki said tipping her head to the side in a questioning manner.
"Nothing," I mumbled after I locked eyes with Cifer . How can he hide his presence like that? It wasn't possible for humans to do that only if you were a very strong vampire or vampire hunter. He felt like neither.
"I'm impressed you felt that." Cifer stated simply in his cold voice.
Yuki began to ask what we were talking about but I interrupted her with an 'its nothing' and we started to walk again letting the silence consume us as the last of the sun disappeared.
Ulquiorra's Perspective
This human is actually rather interesting unlike his trash company. I tried experimenting by lowering my spiritual pressure to nothing and he reacted immediately. This was valuable information to have. Observation 2: Zero Kiryu, with the possibility of others, is sensitive to spiritual pressure. That also means I will have to be on guard if I have to leave my fake body.
We kept walking in silence with no further interruptions until we reached solid wooden doors. Yuki pushed them open and entered with myself and Zero following close behind.
"Yuki! Zero! My beloved children! Give daddy a hug." I heard a rather eccentric voice yell as we entered the office. I immediately took in the sight of a rather young looking male with sand blond hair that was pulled back into a ponytail jumping over his desk with his arms spread wide open.
"No"
"Chairman" Yuki and Zero replied with a slight bite to their tone.
"I've told you before call me daddy!" The man yelled with tears flowing freely down his face. This man's immature behavior was really starting to get on my nerves. He acted much like Kisuke Urahara until someone finally hit him and even then it wasn't usually enough to calm him down.
Yuki patted him on the shoulder with a guilty look on her face until Zero finally cut in.
"Chairman we brought Ulquiorra Cifer like you asked us to."
"Ah yes, I see, well, My name is Kaien Cross I'm the headmaster of Cross Academy. Yuki, Zero would you two wait a moment out in the hall while me and Have a quick chat." Kaien said with a sudden seriousness that took both the teenagers by surprise.
"Ya"
"I guess" they replied at the same time as they turned to leave. With a quite click they shut the door behind them leaving only me and Kaien. I turned and faced him as he walked back over to sit in his desk. I followed his lead and sat in the chair opposite of him and waited for him to begin our "chat".
"I understand very little about what or who you are, but I want you to know as long as you can be trusted you will always be welcome here." I could see the sincerity in his eyes as he made his blunt right to the point statement. I started to not like per say him but his ability to strait what needed to be stated unlike most humans. I decided to do a quick evaluation of his spiritual pressure and found it to be much like Zero's just stronger and more controlled. Observation 3: Kaien Cross, headmaster of Cross Academy, seemed trustworthy.
I only offered a simple nod of my head in return. He seemed satisfied with my answer replying with a nod of his own and a mumbled good.
"You do know why you're here, correct?"
"Yes, I'm here to act as a school guardian and protect students from the threat of hollows." I stated in a plain voice. The increasing night class of vampires was getting more attention from hollows because of their higher than normal spiritual pressure.
"Great, you seem to understand. If you don't mind I have some questions." He said with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
"I will answer what I can to the best of my abilities." I replied.
"Urahara never really told me what you are besides the fact that you aren't human, shinigami, or vampire." He asked leaning forward placing his chin in his hands. He had an interested look in his eyes that too reminded me of Kisuke. "I wont judge." He reassured like his judgment actually mattered to me.
"Very well, I am a form of hollow called arrancar. We have both shinigami and hollow powers." He looked shocked from my blunt statement but as he promised their was no look of disapproval in his eyes.
"Well that's quite unexpected. I thought the shinigami disapproved of any kind of hollow."
"I was spared during the war and then given a second chance. This mission is like a test to them. A test to see if I can be assigned permanently."
"Ok, I see. That's all I want to know now. The rest can wait till later." He said while standing up. "Your bags have already arrived and been place in your room. Oh Yuki~ Zero~ will you be so kind to show Ulquiorra to his room" The chairman sang back to his overly cheerful self.
This would be a long mission.
Did I keep everyone in character? If not what should I do to fix that? Review!
