Disclaimer:I dont own Bleach or anything related to it!
A/N:Ive been wanting to write this for awhile but I was too into other stories. But here it is. AizenXOC Katsue Hara. Most of this story is going to be during the Turn Back The Pendulum Arc. But I want to give some backround to this story too. Enjoy! :)
"Slow down, Katsue! Your going to fall in the water" Aizen called after his close friend, Katsue Hara, as they walked down to a river to have lunch. He pushed his brown hair out of his face and fixed his glasses.
"No I'm not!" 3rd year students of the Shinigami Academy dont trip and fall into rivers. Katsue walked down to the waters edge and peered into it. Her shoulder-length dark blue hair was pulled back from her face by a black headband. Two low ponytails were present in the back of her head. Her tan skin shined.
Aizen caught up to her and peered into the water as well. He looked into her grey eyed reflection. "The water always looks so nice this time of year"
She nodded then turned to look at him. "Ready for lunch?" a big smile spread across her face. They walked back to a tree and had a seat. They took the food they had brought and shared in content silence for several minutes although Katsue munched loudly on bright green grapes.
They had met during their first year of the Academy. They had been picked to spar against each other and ended up getting in trouble because their fight had gotten too "out of hand" Due to that incident, Katsue hadnt took to Aizen. At first she had pegged him as mean and boring. But then he showed that he was interesting and smart, teaching her lots of things which drew her to him.
Aizen studied his friend like he always did. She was so different. She was cheery and hyper, always having something odd to do. To most people, it would annoy them, but she never ceased to amuse him. Plus the girl also kept him on his toes, she was a very skilled fighter since her moves were unpredictable.
"Sosuke? I wanna ask you something" Katsue asked him suddenly, breaking the 'nice' silence.
"What?" He looked at her.
"Why do you wanna be a Shinigami?" She looked down at the grass.
Aizen looked up at the sky "Is there a reason not to be a Shinigami? If one takes interest in such things then why not see them though?"
"Huh" Katsue mused. "You sound kinda like me"
"Really?"
"Yes, except I dont speak in riddles!" the blue haired girl giggled.
Aizen smiled at her and adjusted his glasses. "Katsue, why would you like to be a Shinigami?"
Katsue thought for a moment. "I wanna see what its like! To belong somewhere and do something thats worth doing. You know what I mean? Power is one thing but working for it and experiencing are much different"
He studied his friend again. She looked back and wary expression on her face.
Aizen suddenly leaned in very close to her face, and stayed there. Her eyes lowered to look away from him. Being this close to him wasnt new but it wasnt welcome either. He retreated back slowly his eyebrows pulled together. She sighed "Why do you always have to do that, Sosuke?"
"Do what?" He seemed deep in thought.
"Look at me like I'm... Some kind of insect or toy"
"What are you talking about?" Aizen turned to look at her and was shocked to see her on the verge of tears. "Katsue? Whats wrong?" He moved closer to her.
"You know whats wrong!" Katsue turned away from him.
"Sue-chan..." Aizen said softly. He had really known all his staring bother her, Katsue interested him in. Honestly she just had a nice face to look at. "I'm... Sorry, I didnt know you felt this way. If I never have to look at you again to regain you trust, I wont"
"No... Just why are you doing it? Its weird, I dont like it!" Katsue growled and slowly wiped her eyes, until she felt a pair of stronger arms wrap around her shoulders and a voice tell her to calm down. She sighed and relaxed into him staring at the river in front of them. She knew he was doing the same thing.
Aizen slowly released Katsue and looked down at her.
"We better get back to class" He smiled.
"Yeah" She gave him a big grin back.
*******During The Turn Back The Pendulum Arc*******
"Wow. All these years and you still cant take a joke" Yoruichi laughed.
"Whatever. You just cant make a funny one" came Katsue's reply. The two were headed to the Captains meeting. Katsue wore the squad 10 haori with long sleeves but its length stopped at her lower back. Her hair had changed to add shaggy blue bangs to the left. The head band and ponytails were still at attention.
"Oh. Such strong words for a newbie" Yoruichi continued to joke. She ruffled the younger woman's hair.
"I'm not a newbie!" Katsue insisted but then smiled "Oi after this can we get something to eat. I'm starved"
"Haha just make sure you dont eat all the fruit again, Yamamoto's going find you one day" The purpled haired woman warned.
"Fine, you just dont eat everything else" Katsue teased.
"Shihouin-tachiou! Hara-chan! How are you ladies today?" Shinji Hirako called as he walked up to the woman. His pure white top teeth on full display.
"Hello Shinji" Yoruichi greeted turning to face him.
Katsue rolled her eyes at him "Hara-tachiou!" she demanded.
"Not in my book" Shinji ruffled the younger captains hair.
"If one more person touches my-!" Katsue started to say.
"Katsue-tachiou! How are you?" Urahara played with her hair. Earning him a quick kick to the stomach. "Hey! What was that for?" looking up slowly at the newest captain, who stood pouting next to him.
"I'm not a kid! I'm so not that much younger than any of you" She paused and looked at Shinji "Except you"
Shinji sweatdropped and walked into the meeting. The other captains followed and Urahara told them they could go for tea later. But before she walked in, Katsue caught sight of Aizen watching her and rolled her eyes.
He simply kept watching. A genuine smile on his face. But still he didnt know, that he was not the only one watching her.
And cut! I hope you liked this story. Its time line doesnt make much sense but its still good right? Review please!
