We're back with a new story! This little gem was concocted because, quite frankly, i was tired of just writing with guys. I needed to try a fic with a woman.
We do not own Bleach... that is obvious
Two swords clashed, creating a resonating sound as the sharp metal met and pulled away, then again met in another attack. One blade shone green when the sun hit it, two small spikes on the bottom a slick black. The other, white with a black tint when the light hit it just right. Again they met two blades, and the loud metallic sounds rung out into the fields around them. The two blades wielders laughed and shouted, enjoying themselves in the spring's cool warmth and basked in the glimmering sun.
"And Byakuya is proud? Of this? Ha, he's funny!" Katsuki laughed, her friend's sword bearing down on her but the spiked in her own blade halting the downfall of metal onto the hilt. She flicked her wrists enough to send her opponents weight back, and stepped to the side to slash at her friends hips, but was caught and sent back with the move she just used.
"You're not worth proving anything to! What's it matter?" Kagami yelled back, leaping back in a summersault and landing gracefully on one foot. She stabbed her blades end into the ground and rested on the blade, panting and wiping sweat from her face. Katsuki shook her head, rolling her eyes, and plopped onto the ground stretching her arm. Kagami made her way over to the shorter woman and sat down next to her, sheathing her sword and lying in the grass.
"Stealing Nemu's clothes again? Why, why do you do it?" Katsuki chuckled, staring up at the clouds and letting the warm rays soak into her face. Her outfit was like Nemu's, the twelfth company's lieutenant. Except, her sleeves were instead longer and the 'skirt' half was longer. Mayuri said she could wear it, so she did. Nemu liked it, so at least not everyone hated her little change in Shinigami clothing. Katsuki was 5'2" with a thin frame and nicely shaped curves. Breasts befitting her body and hips a little too wide, she was happy with her looks. Long, strawberry blonde hair that was short and choppy in the front but the back reached down to her mid-back. Topping it all off, her pale features were complimented by onyx black eyes that were always glittering with mischief.
"I don't steal her clothes! This is my outfit; you're the one stealing Kuchiki-taicho's gloves. No accusing me of the crime you commit." Kagami instead was about 5'5'', with a larger frame than her smaller friend. She could still pull off skinny however, with hips that curved in nicely, and breasts that fit her structure just right. With bright, crimson eyes, and long, shoulder-length black hair, she was quite a pretty woman. Not that anyone could see her face behind her spiky bangs. Her skin was lightly tanned from all the time spent out in the sun, and her arms were well toned from years of training. Both girls laughed, and Katsuki finally re-sheathed her own sword and stood up to waltz over to her bag of little 'experiments'. Kagami stuck her tongue out at the girl, and turned to stare as she came back wielding a vial with a brown liquid inside and had mini goopy red lumps in it. Kind of like a lava lamp, if they knew what that was.
"Anyway, after sparring today gotta get back to the lab. Rin said he'd try this for me. So, wanna pack up?" They were in the thirteenth squad training barracks, open fields and rocky ledges perfect for sparring. They came here often, and today the eighth squad was visiting so they had to leave early.
"Rin? What are you doing to that kid? Poor sap. You promised him candy, didn't you?" Katsuki coughed, and skipped away to grab her bag, weary of dropping her bottle.
"Of course, and it won't hurt him I made sure. I wouldn't do it if it hurt him, that's Mayuri-taicho's job love. We better go; Ukitake-taichou and Shunsui-taichou are having tea today, Nanao-fukutaicho included." Kagami raised an eyebrow at the mention of the woman's name, but shrugged. She understood they weren't wanted here, so she prepared to leave as well. Being in Sixth squad, she understood where to be and when, and here right now wasn't that moment. Something popped into her head.
"What does that little vial of evil even do? Turn you into a toad?" Katsuki laughed, walking towards the front of the building, guests of the current company on time and coming into view.
"A toad, really? Be more creative, turns you into a freaking bird. Duh. Feathers are a little better then warts." She earned a glare and laughed, shaking her head and poking her own little creation. They walked on, Kagami steps away to avoid the future catastrophe. Of course she wouldn't trust the freaky scientist's goopy creations. "No need to fear it, I'm not turning you into the goose."
They made it to the front of Ukitake's little house, they met Shunsui and Nanao currently being greeted by said captain. All three nodded politely, and Kagami and Katsuki bowed in return out of respect. The lazy captain noticed the scientist's little tube, and walked over to grab it. Katsuki put out a hand to halt the Captain, but he just chugged it without question.
"Ah, no, Taicho! No, no! Don't do it, don't do it! Why?!" She shrieked, but too late. The hippie twitched, and convulsed, but didn't seem in pain Next thing you know, and Katsuki really didn't know how, he really didn't shrink, more like puffed out with feathers, and turned into a little sparrow. Kagami stood there, staring dully, and just pointed at the bird when it started fluttering about on the ground.
"He's a bird. A fucking bird. Katsuki, what the hell did you do?"
"I really don't know, I really don't. One, it wasn't really supposed to work and two; he wasn't supposed to drink the actual liquid. We're screwed, completely and utterly screwed." Shunsui sparrow squawked, and suddenly took flight, managing actual flight in that itty bitty little form. Both girls let out little screams as the eighth Captain flew away from the deck. Ukitake looked like he was desperately trying not to laugh, and Nanao looked utterly exasperated. Katsuki leapt up and attempted to grab the bird, failing in the process. Kagami tried next, the tips of his wings just brushing her fingers. The two kept trying to catch the runaway Captain, making their way down to the edge of the barracks. Suddenly, a hell butterfly flew over their heads. It caught Shunsui's attention. He flew after it, attempting to catch and eat the poor insect.
"Oh no! Come back here!" A young boy with messy black hair fell out of a bush to their right, clutching a butterfly net. He ran after the butterfly and bird, waving the net around. Kagami shot her friend a look.
"Wasn't that Rikichi?" She asked, thrown off for a second at his surprise arrival. "What the hell is he- Oh!" Suddenly getting an idea, the raven took off after the boy, Katsuki not far behind. Rikichi was standing on a fence, attempting to net the butterfly, still trying to flee from the bird/Captain. Since he was far too short to reach, Kagami reached over and grabbed the net from him, jumping up on the fence herself. She succeeded in grabbing the black insect, but missed on the swipe to get Shunsui. Frightened by the net, he took off just as the tall woman lost her balance and fell off the fence, landing on the blonde.
"Here kid," She said, rolling off the other Shinigami. "Take this." She handed him the net with the butterfly in it. He thanked her and took off, not wanting to get caught in this bout of insubordination. Katsuki got to her feet and let out a little growl.
"Dammit! We need to catch him before he gets killed." She watched the brown sparrow fly back to Ukitake's and began to jog along behind it a few meters. He descended to land on the rail running along the outer wall of the deck. Katsuki reached for him, but he flew away quickly before she could grab him. Nanao and Ukitake were standing in the door, looking uninterested in their friend and Captain's plight, yet amused at the other two's failed attempts to catch him. Seeing his fukutaicho, Shunsui flew at her, landing down her hakima and nestling in her breasts. Before she could react, Kagami lurched forward and shoved her hand after him. She wasn't thinking about it, she just found the best opportunity to grab the man turned bird. Nanao stared at her for a second before brining her hand up and slapping the taller woman in the face. With a slight grimace, Kagami pulled her hand away.
"I got the Taicho." She said dully, turning to look at Katsuki. Her friend was laughing at her. When she saw that the Captain was, in fact, clutched in her hands, she sobered up.
"You know I don't have an antidote for that. . . right?" She said, pointing to him. Kagami blinked, not comprehending what was being said. She shook her head slightly as the words sunk in.
"What?! Are you telling me you dumbass scientists made a serum without an antidote?! You realize that Shunsui-taicho is a fucking bird don't you?!" She fumed. Not giving Katsuki time to answer, the tall woman stormed off, sparrow in hand. The blonde rolled her eyes before following her friend.
"Wait a second! Where are you taking him?" Nanao called, running to catch up to the other women. Kagami turned around, her crimson eyes flashing from behind her bangs.
"The twelfth squad, where else? Ow! Dammit! Quit pecking at me!" She shouted rather rudely. The trapped bird had been pecking at her closed fist. Katsuki gave her friend a look before taking the Captain from her, lightly cupping him in her hands.
"Mayuri-taicho can find an antidote. You're more then welcome to come along to watch the experimenting." She said with a smirk. Kagami smiled too, she knew her friend was only partly being serious, but Nanao had no way of knowing that. The fukutaicho quickened her pace to match the others, fixing her glasses as she did.
"I guess I have no choice then do I? Business is business." She stated matter-of-factly. With a chuckle, Katsuki and Kagami led her back to the twelfth squads' barracks.
