I'm back! This is part 2 of my Bleach fic! This will be based on the Bount Arc.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, but I own Satsuki Uzaki and the other Uzakis. I don't own Zakuro Kurosaki, Momo Kurosaki, Neko, and Kitsune; they belong to CyberChick135
"This plan is not going to work," Satsuki declared, expressing her doubt
Renji glared at her. "Any better ideas?"
"Not at the moment, but my point is that your method of getting their attention sucks."
"Why the heck did the Soul Society stick us together?"
"Because they know we annoy each other."
"Good point," Renji sighed before yelling at the top of his lungs, "KUROSAKI!"
"What the hell are you doing?" Satsuki punched him in the shoulder. Looking back up to the window, she saw Zakuro looking down at them.
"I KNOW YOU'RE UP THERE ICHIGO!" Renji continued. "SO ARE ZAKURO AND MOMO! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
Zakuro, Momo, and Ichigo suddenly appeared around the corner, and Ichigo didn't stop running; he pushed Renji all the way to the bushes.
"Who's horrible idea was this?" Momo wondered, her voice edged with anger.
"Uh, not mine," Satsuki held up her hands in front of her in her own self defense. "I told Renji not to go through with that plan, but he did it anyway."
"Sounds like someone else we know," Momo cracked a small smile, referring to Ichigo.
"Nice to see you again Satsuki," Zakuro smiled as they jogged lightly to Ichigo and Renji, who weren't as happy to see each other as the girls were.
"Do you mind telling us what the hell you're doing here?" Ichigo spat, narrowing his eyes. He had Renji pinned against a tree.
"Besides stalking Zakuro," Momo added under her breath. Satsuki snickered.
"So not the time," Zakuro stomped on her cousin's foot. Turning to Renji. "What are you doing here?" She glared daggers.
A look of hurt flashed across Renji's face, and Satsuki retorted, "Harsh." She herself wasn't even sure who the statement was directed at.
"Well its like this," Renji began, brushing himself off. "I've been put in charge of Karakura Town. Mr. Urahara told us where we could find you guys. I came to see you and that's the story."
Ichigo chuckled in amusement. "You got demoted." Satsuki couldn't help but laugh.
"I did not!" Renji protested. He glared at Satsuki, who was still in a fit of laughter. "You're supposed to be on my side!"
"No I'm not!" Satsuki was still laughing.
Ichigo turned to face her. "So what's your story?"
"I'm supposed to investigate some problem with Captain Soi Fon," Satsuki answered. "She's not supposed to get here until tonight, so I have time to spare."
The Substitute Soul Reaper's combat passes started buzzing. Instantly, Satsuki pulled herself out of her Gigai and propped it against the tree just in time for the Hollow to materialize in the school yard. She drew her sword and expertly twirled it in her right hand.
Renji was struggling to get out of his Gigai, so it was up to Satsuki, Ichigo, Zakuro and Momo. The other three entered their Soul Reaper forms to combat with the Hollow.
"Okay, I'll use my Kido to hold the Hollow at bay," Zakuro began quoting her plan. "Satsuki, Momo, you two incapacitate it. Ichigo, go for the mask."
"Who made you captain?" Momo quipped.
"Just do it!" Zakuro exclaimed.
Satsuki mutely charged at the Hollow with Momo. Zakuro used Kido to summon gold chains around the Hollow's neck, leashing it like a dog.
Momo leaped over her cousin, "Spread your wings, Hino Tori!" Her dual blades flashed in the sunlight as she dug them into the Hollow's shoulder blades.
"Clash, Yasei no Kaminari!" A second blade shot out from the end of Satsuki's Zanapkuto. She Flash Stepped over to the Hollow's leg, and she stabbed the blade into the beast. It roared in pain.
Lastly, Ichigo held Zangetsu high above his head as he slashed the Hollow's mask in a perfect line right down the middle, destroying it.
Zakuro sighed as the chains from her Kido spell faded. "So much for a normal first day." Satsuki didn't blame her. They all rushed back to the bushes and reentered the Gigai.
"Good job you three, well done," Renji complemented.
"Cut the crap!" Momo snapped.
"Don't just leave your Gigai unoccupied in a school yard!" Satsuki threw her arms into the air exasperatedly. "Go on! Get back in!" she glared at Renji, who now wrestled his Gigai to get back in.
"Damn, this thing is really uncomfortable," Renji muttered under his breath.
"Listen," Ichigo said firmly. "I don't want you coming anywhere near my school. We can meet later, at Kisuke's place." he cast a sideways glance at Satsuki and met her eyes. She knew that no one else besides them knew what happened between them in the Soul Society, save for Yoruichi Shihoin, the former captain of the Second Division. At least Satsuki counted on it. She wasn't sure how good of a secret keeper Yoruichi was. And if she had told, someone would have teased Satsuki about it at this point.
Satsuki firmly brushed the thoughts away. She had other priorities. After the three Substitutes left back for school, Satsuki turned to Renji. "See ya around," before Flash Stepping out of sight.
Satsuki zipped across town in her Soul Reaper form that evening at dusk. She had received the signal call from Soi Fon on her Soul Pager, and the three (Satsuki, Yoruichi, and Soi Fon) were going to meet up on the outskirts of town.
When she reached the outskirts, it was dark. Satsuki could see the outline of Soi Fon. She wasn't wearing her haori, rather she was wearing the Punishment Force uniform, with no sleeves or back. Yoruichi has assumed her cat form and masculine voice.
"What's the issue?" Satsuki asked.
"From the intel I have gathered, our opponents are called Bounts," Yoruichi stated evenly. "It's all I know, other than they are also known as 'vampires'."
"So we'll find out what really happened to vampires," Satsuki mused.
"What are we going to do?" Soi Fon inquired.
"We should start by gathering more intel tomorrow," Yoruichi said. "We can meet at the school grounds and begin there. I have a feeling it may have something to do with Ichigo or Zakuro or Momo. Or all three."
"The Substitutes?" Soi Fon pressed on. "What could these Bounts possibly want from them?"
"Ichigo does have spiritual pressure comparable to Captain Zaraki's," Yoruichi said. "Need I remind you what happened?"
Ichigo had been such an even match strength wise for Zaraki that he was able to remove his eyepatch, which had previously kept him form using too much power.
"We also have Captains Ukitake and Kyoraku helping us from the Soul Society," Soi Fon stated. Jushiro Ukitake, captain of the 13th Division, and Shunsui Kyoraku, captain of the 8th Division, were very agreeable and helpful captains. They had destroyed the Sokyoku during the incident in the Soul Society.
Suddenly, Satsuki's Soul Pager beeped. It wasn't a Hollow; it was a call from Renji.
"Satsuki!" Renji's voice sounded distant, as if he were running with the phone and not speaking directly into it. "Over here now! We have an unknown enemy situation." the connection suddenly dropped, but by sensing the Spiritual Pressure in the air, Satsuki put the pieces together.
"Orihime!" she turned to the other two. "I have to go see what's going on, but I will meet you guys tomorrow at the school grounds!"
Satsuki bounded toward Orihime's apartment before switching to Flash Step. But by time she got there, it was already too late.
Lemme explain the title to you. If you watch closely, you'll notice that they said that Bounts are also known as vampires. The title is a joke on this fact. Hope this clears everything up!
