In the Shadow of the Beast
¡Hola! Welcome to the debut of my first Bleach fanfiction! It's been a while since I last made a new fanfic, hasn't it y'all? Now, before I begin, allow me to tell you about this little piece of work here. It stars my nutty OC Aisu-Faia "Farore" Kurosa, an odd chick with a frighteningly fickle personality. Oh, here's the gal now with the disclaimer! Take it away Doll!
Farore: Please take note: Bleach, both the anime and manga, belongs to the almighty Tite Kubo, Plotter Extraordinaire! Now, we begin!
White hair with red streaks. Ice-blue eyes. A voice like the winds. Fire burning in her heart. She was known as the Beast of Hueco Mundo. So it was only natural that she put her skills to use as a Shinigami, a Soul Reaper. Fresh out of the Academy and ready to be assigned, Aisu-Faia stood calmly before Head Captain Yamamoto. She was surrounded on either side by the captains of the Gotei 13. One man in particular watched her very closely. Aisu-Faia knew him very well- the childhood friend of her older brother Onigumo and the captain of Squad 6, Byakuya Kuchiki.
"It is time for you to be assigned to a squad," Yamamoto said. "Your skill with the sword and your knowledge of Hollows will make you an invaluable addition to any squad. However, a request has been made that you be placed in Squad 6 under the leadership of Captain Kuchiki."
Aisu-Faia, without moving, rolled her eyes to look at Byakuya. The nobleman had a faint trace of a smile on his lips. She noticed a proud gleam in his midnight-blue eyes, the light she had known all her life. Yamamoto dismissed the meeting and everyone walked out quietly. The instant Aisu-Faia and her new captain were outside the meeting hall…
*GLOMP*
"I'm so happy! I got to be placed in your squad, Byakuya Onii-san!"
Byakuya laughed. "You haven't changed a bit since before your Academy days." He walked happily through the Seireitei with the girl clinging to his back. They laughed and talked until they reached the Squad 6 barracks. Before entering, Aisu-Faia dropped to the ground and the two regained their composure. "I hope you're ready for what awaits you inside the barracks, Farore. Once you step inside, you will be the center of attention, and not always in the good sense of the term. It's not going to be easy to gain their trust."
"Don't worry, if they make one wrong move, all I need to do is flash the 'Look' and they'll run screaming like little children."
Byakuya slowly opened the barracks door and stepped inside. There was a hush as Farore halted beside him. She scanned the crowd of squad members before her with her ice-blue eyes. Everyone gulped as her gaze passed over them. After several minutes of silence, Byakuya addressed his squad.
"Listen up men. We are lucky enough to have been assigned a gifted new member of the Gotei 13. This is our new Fifth Seat, Aisu-Faia Kurosa. I expect you all to treat her with respect and obey her orders as you do for me."
"If you do as he says," Farore grinned, "we'll get along just fine."
…
That night, Farore lay awake in bed. Byakuya was allowing her to stay at the Kuchiki mansion. She looked out the window at the crescent moon. I wonder what it's like for Byakuya, living all alone in such a huge place? Oh, but Hisana-chan is here! I almost forgot they were married. Farore grinned sheepishly and lightly slapped her forehead. After all, she's my cousin…
At that thought, the young Soul Reaper slipped into the subconscious.
W00T-SAUCE! Well, as my brother's friend would say, at least… ^-^" So, what do you think? Remember, read first, then decide to comment or flame. Lulu and I will use your flames to roast the world's best Mishmaws! Ja matta, mina-san!
