Woo! New one already! Well, since I cleared out my other fanfictions that nobody reads, I will now write a new one, albiet it will probably be a another one of the previously mentioned fanfics. Anway, I guess I should get on with the fanfic. I'm not really sure on the name, so I'll just call it 'The Others' for now.
Title: The Others
Summary: Four girls, friends in life, comrades in war. Brought together by heritage, not fate, these girls fight their way through High School and the battlefield. Why do they fight? Because it's their nature. Their history. Their heritage. What's their heritage? Well, they're shinigami.
The sunrise is so beautiful this morning. The brunette thought as she gazed at the purple-pink sky. It's rare to see something this wonderful. she continued, smiling to herself.
"Ame!" a voice yelled. The girl didn't hear it. She was too focused on the gorgeous sight before her, "Ame! If you don't hurry, we're gonna be late for school, got it?" the voice yelled again. The brunette finally turned around to see a girl with navy hair, shoving her school bag into the brunette's face.
"Sorry, Kaze-nee! I was just looking at the sunrise! It's beautiful this morning, isn't it?" she asked her sister, who was tapping her foot in impatience.
"Yeah, sure, it's wonderful. Now let's go!" Kaze yelled, pulling her sister away from the sunrise into the most unbeautiful thing on the planet.
School. Particularly, All-Girls school Miaki Academy in Okinawa, Japan.
"Good morning, everyone!" Ame yelled once she got to the classroom.
Only one replied, "Good morning, Ame. Chipper as usual, huh?" a girl with black hair, one blue streak hanging in her face, said. Her name was Mizu Wakahara. Her brown eyes shone with energy.
"Oh, give it a rest, Ame. Your useless enthusiasm is, well... useless." a girl with short, dirty blond hair deadpanned. Her dark blue eyes were dull with fatigue. Her name was Kasai Wakahara. The sister of Mizu.
"Didn't get enough sleep, huh?" Kaze Kanno said to Kasai, smiling.
"Well, I would have slept nicely if Mizu's boyfriend didn't sneak in last night," Kasai said, groaning at her sister, "You guys do not want to know what they were doing." she added.
"Ew." Ame Kanno, the sister of Kaze, replied innocently.
"Nast." Kaze said, sticking her tongue out.
"Not what you perverts were thinking. They were fighting. Stop thinking bad thoughts." she said flatly, hitting both Kaze and Ame on their wrists.
"Sorry, Kasai-chan. Well, I hope everything turned out okay." Ame said, frowning and rubbing her wrist tenderly.
"Well, hope doesn't work for everyone. We broke up,"Mizu said, scowling. "I'm swearing off boys forever." she added sourly.
"Liar," Kaze said, chuckling, "You'll have a new boyfriend by tomorrow."
"Probably," Ame said, laughing, "But at least he won't be odd like Chako. He was weird." she added, referring to Mizu's most recent ex-bou, Chako. (A/N: Yes, the one they were just talking about)
Just then, Ame's cell phone rang, "Oh, man." she said, frowning. She took out the phone and flipped it open. Four triangles were shown on the screen, "There's four of 'em. Oh, guys, one for each of us!" Ame said excitedly.
"Figure that out on your own, Sherlock?" Kaze said, ruffling her sister's hair and smiling. Ame smiled back. All four girls took candy dispensers out of their bags, popping one of the candies into their mouths. Once they were down the girl's throats, their souls were pulled from their bodies, clad in black, swords at their shapely hips, "Let's go." Kaze said seriously.
"Act natural. Don't draw attention." Kasai deadpanned to the mod souls in their bodies.
They answered with a hearty, "Yes, ma'am!" And with that, the four girls were off, jumping out of the window to land on the ground with four light tmps. The girls quickly found their opponents: Four hollows, all lined up nicely to be purified.
"Wow!" Ame yelled, "They're so big!" she said, holding her hand above her eyes to shield them from sunlight.
"Who cares," Kasai said, drawing her sword, "Let's just get this over with." She held her sword above her head, "Shine, Hikari Neko!" she yelled, her sword transforming in to a large claymore. She swung it once and jumped to her opponent; she easily slashed through it's mask, it's body dissipating into the air, "Well, that's done. You turn, ladies." she said, smirking. Kasai never felt truly satisfied until she was done with a battle. Oh, and she had to be the victor.
"My turn!" Mizu said, grinning. She unsheathed her sword and held it up to her mouth, her tongue exiting her mouth to lick it once, "Obliterate, Yami Inu!" Her sword transformed in to a spear, the point at the top shaped like a cross. She laughed evilly, "Let's go, foolish hollow! You'll learn not to mess with us! The Zetsumei no Tsuki crew!" she yelled, stabbing her spear in to the hollow's mask, but she knew that wouldn't do the job. She just wanted to make it suffer. Yes, she was that sadistic. She then finished the job by slowly dragging her spear don't the center of the mask, splitting it in to two, slowly and painfully. The hollow screamed in pain, dissipating, "Next up!" she yelled.
"That would be me," Kaze said, smirking, "Now, hollow, we have some business we have to attend to. Right?" she said, turning to the large advisary before her, "Kill, Shiro Oni!" she yelled, unsheathing her sword and throwing it up in the air. But when it landed in her hand again, it was no longer a sword, but a snow white axe. Everything was white, even the blade. She flash-stepped up to the hollow, smiled once at it, then drug the axe across it's face. It dissipated, also screaming in pain, "Ame? Would you finish the job, if you could be so kind?" she said politely.
Ame gave a close-eyed smile, "Of course, Kaze-nee!" she flash-stepped up to get right in front of the hollow's face. It swatted at her; she quickly dodged.
"Good luck, hollow!" Kaze yelled.
"Yeah! Ame's the flash-step master!" Mizu yelled.
"Now, now, hollow-san, I don't want to drag this out, so could you please just sit still, so I can purify you?" she smiled politely. Before the hollow had time to even be confused, she unsheathed her sword, and held it out in front of herself, dragging her hand across the blade; it didn't cut her, "Cleanse, Kuro Tenshi!" she yelled, the blade turning in to a scythe, the blade shaped like a moon, "Thank you for being cooperative, hollow-san." she said nicely, swinging the scythe to lob the hollow's head off, thus finishing the job. She returned to the ground, where the rest of the quartet was. The four girls' zanpakutos were still released, and they looked like a bunch of fighters, not high school girls.
"Oh, come on, put your hands in!" Mizu said, smiling, holding her hand out, flat. The other girls stacked their hands on top of Mizu's, smiling with her, "Zetsumei no Tsuki on three." she said. "One, two, three," the girls chanted, "Zetsumei no Tsuki!!" the quartet yelled.

Later that day, after school, the four girls walked to the gates of the school, talking about various subjects, such as school, boys, things to do on weekends, things like that. Regular teen girl talk. Until Ame's cell rang again, "Hmm." Ame hummed, taking the phone out of her bag again. She noticed that it was an actual call, "Hello?" she answered cheerfully.
"Come home quickly, Ame. Make sure Kaze is with you, and bring Mizu and Kasai too." her mom's voice said from the other end.
"Okay, mom. What's the deal?" she asked.
"Something important. Just hurry home." her mother said sternly.
"Yeah, okay, mom. Uh, be there in a few." she assured, snapping the phone shut, "Guys, that was mom. She wants us to come quick. Apparently, there's something important happening. We gotta be there quick," Ame said seriously, looking to her group of friends, "All of us." she added.
Within twenty minutes, they were at Kaze and Ame's house, "Mom, we're home." Kaze said, stepping into the house and sliding her black shoes off. The other three girls did the same.
"Good. You girls have an important job to do. You must be enrolled into a school in a small town named Karakura. There, you four will assist the substitute shinigami and his comrades there. Mizu and Kasai, I already okay-ed it with your parents, so you can go. Kaze, Ame, you must go. Kurosaki needs your help. You will be staying at an apartment building near one of his friends, Orihime Inoue. Clear?" Hana, their mother, said.
"Clear." all four of the girls answered at the same time.
"Kanno-san, why are we going there again? Does their branch of the Soul Society need help or something?" Mizu asked, tilting her head.
"Yes. They're afraid that Sousuke Aizen might have become to powerful. So they're keeping their eyes peeled, and their also calling in reinforcements. Reinforcements being you girls." Hana replied.
"Okay, so basically, we're extra foot soldiers," Kasai said, scowling, "Forget that, I'm not gonna travel however many miles it is just to get killed. No way." she added sourly.
"Oh, come on, sis. You know you love fighting just as much as I do," Mizu said, nudging her sister in the gut with her elbow, "Inside, you're ecstatic, I bet."
"Oh yeah, I'm so excited because I'm gonna get killed. Such a reason to be happy." Kasai replied, rolling her eyes.
"You're underestimating yourself, Kasai-chan. We all know you're the best fighter in our team. Just like Kaze's best at stealth, I'm best at speed, and Mizu's best at... well, torture," Ame said, chuckling at the last part, "You'll always be the best, no matter what. Even if you get defeated, you'll always be the best, because you're one of us." she continued, smiling earnestly.
"Yeah, well... Oh, fine, I guess you're right," Kasai said, grinning, "I'm really the best, aren't I?" she said conceitedly.
The quartet laughed and so did Hana, "Of course, Kasai. You are the best fighter in the world."Kaze said truthfully, giving Kasai a hug.
Kasai accepted the hug, which was rare for her, "Thanks, buddy. So, Karakura, huh? Sounds like a small town. I've never heard of it before." she said.
"Of course it's a small town. Karakura is somewhere near Tokyo, right, Okaa-san?" Ame said, tilting her head in curiosity.
"Yes. You'll be staying there for an alotted amount of time that has not yet been determined. Maybe until the Winter War is over, maybe a little after that. Somewhere around there." her mother replied, sitting down on their couch.
Mizu grinned, "Well then, we better get to packin'." she said.
"That's already been taken care of. The clothes you will be wearing and your school uniforms are already sitting at your apartment. All you girls have to do is fly over." Hana said.
"Oh... well, alright then," Mizu said, "When do we depart?"
"Tomorrow at noon, sharp." their mother replied.
The four teens smiled at each other, "And, I think you know what that means, ladies." Kaze said, smirking, "No school!" the quartet yelled together.
Well, that was sufficiently awkward. Nah, just kidding, I just never thought that the first chapter of a fanfic would be this long... it does kinda drag on. Oh well. Reviews are appreciated!!
