Beware the Third Seat. Rawr.
(Marionette.)
"What the hell?!" the stronger of the two men in front of me growled. I felt him lean over and his breath tickled my face. "When'd we get another midget?" he scoffed.
Without thinking I swung my arm forward and slammed my fist into the side of his head, roaring, "GET THE HELL OUTTA MY FACE!" I was in no mood to be mocked so early in the morning.
I felt the man go reeling back and his friend chuckled girlishly. "You deserved that one, Ikkaku," he snickered. The other man, Ikkaku, jumped up, brushing off my attack like it was nothing and I heard Saiko sigh wearily beside me.
"We're new to Squad Eleven. Hajime mashi-" Saiko was cut off when Ikkaku got up in my face again. He towered over my small frame and I felt him give me a mocking grin.
"Ya trying to act superior or somethin'?" I snarled and he laughed loudly.
"I am superior, midget," he sneered.
"What? In the rate of hair loss?" I mocked, having felt his lack of hair when I'd punched him.
"NANI?! BAKA! I'M NOT BALD!"
"Oya, oya, I didn't say that but that is a better way of describing it," I sneered and he pushed his forehead against mine and emitted a growl.
"If you could even see through your bangs you'd be able to tell I'm not bald!" he growled.
I pushed him away and sloppily smoothed back my bangs. I stuck out my tongue childishly and yelled, "baka. I can't see anyways!" I felt him hesitate when he saw my eyes. I'd been told they looked like the color of milk but I had no idea what color that was. I half expected him to pity me, like all my other opponents had and I glared in his direction. But instead I heard him snicker. "A cripple huh? Ya must be pretty strong to be able to get into the Eleventh Squad with such a huge disadvantage," he said and I could hear blatant excitement in his voice.
FINALLY! A worthy opponent!
Don't expect him to give you any handicaps. Hakuryuu warned but I ignored her. All I'd ever gotten was handicaps and I could feel excitement building in my blood as I gripped my zanpakutou's hilt that was sheathed on my back.
"Can a midget like you even hold a sword?" Ikkaku asked and I heard his grin.
"Let's see," I grinned and pulled it out before lunging. Halfway to Ikkaku I paused. My reiatsu spilled out, covering the room and blanketed every object, allowing me to 'feel' my surroundings. There was a sudden change and I felt a large man with massive reiatsu and a tiny girl on his shoulder walk into my range, my new taicho and fukutaicho.
"I see we got a fighter," he said and his voice sounded slightly maniacal.
"Ken-chan! Look, look! She's almost Shiro-chan's height!" I heard a high voice chirp before I was tackled to the ground. Saiko let out an eep at our lieutenant's quick speed as she straddled my waist with surprising force and pushed back my bangs roughly. I squirmed.
"It's her Ken-chan!" Yachiru said excitedly when she saw my eyes and I felt Zaraki-taicho's reiatsu buzz with excitement.
(Frosted Heart.)
I sighed as Matsumoto placed a cup of tea in front of me.
"Taicho~!" she sang and I looked up from the file.
"What is it Matsumoto?" I asked tiredly and picked up the tea gratefully.
"You've been staring at the file for hours, what is it?" she asked and I twitched when I felt her bust press against the back of my head as she leaned over my shoulder.
"Waah~! She's scary, Taicho! You didn't recruit her did you?" Matsumoto whined and I sighed. I closed the file with a snap.
"Iie," I said coldly and sipped my tea.
"Yokata," Matsumoto breathed, "well, I'll be off! You should take a break, Taicho!" she waved cheerily. My eyes suddenly snapped over to her desk and I jumped up, my hands slamming down on the desk.
"MATSUMOTO! GET BACK HERE AND DO YOUR PAPERWORK!" I roared but it was too late. She was already gone. With an irritated huff I dropped back into my chair. A hollow silence fell over the room and I sighed. Once again my eyes flickered to the closed file. With a sigh I flipped it open revealing those cold eyes. According to her file, she was an inch or two shorter than me, which had surprised me. Her hair was cut messily and one side reached her chin while the other side's length reached her shoulder. Choppy, jagged bangs, that I could tell normally hung over her eyes, had been pulled back to reveal, icy white eyes. The dull black of her hair contrasted greatly with her ghostly, near-translucent, pale skin and her chewed, raw lips stood out vibrantly. I sighed. Despite her record as being labelled dangerous at the academy, she'd been the perfect candidate for my currently open third seat.
I frowned.
Kurohime Kami.
I closed my eyes, frustrated by the fact that Zaraki had gotten his hands on her instead. I took a big gulp of tea and ignored how it burned down my throat. There wasn't much I could do about it now so I might as well move on.
(Marionette.)
"Oh? You're the girl the Academy said was dangerous?" He asked and my reiatsu flooded everywhere. Too many people had walked into the room to see what the ruckus was about and I was getting disoriented. My reiatsu filled up everything in the room and I saw my captain approach me. He was huge, I realized, at least ten times my size as he towered over me and picked me up from the ground by my arm.
"What'chya doin', girl?" he asked dangerously and I felt my reiatsu flare. The only person I allowed to touch me was Saiko and I slapped his large hand away from my body. I heard a few dark chuckles.
"She's got good spirit," Ikkaku said, still sounding like he was grinning madly.
"What about your friend?" He asked me and through my reiatsu I felt him jab his thumb in Saiko's direction.
"I'll fight if it's needed," she sighed.
Zaraki grunted. "It's like female versions of you two," he said and turned to Ikkaku and his friend.
"Except I still have hair," I said and pulled down one eye and stuck my tongue out in Ikkaku's direction.
"Gaki," I heard him growl and I laughed and danced back over to Saiko's side.
"My name is Awashita Saiko," she said, smiling at the unnamed male beside Ikkaku, "what's your name?"
"Ayasegawa Yumichika," he said and I felt him flip his hair. There was vain and pride mingled in with his reiatsu and I raised an eyebrow.
"Oi, what's your name?" Ikkaku asked and I glared at him.
"Like I'm going to tell you," I grunted.
"This is Kurohime Kami," Saiko said and I glared at her.
"Traitor," I snapped and jumped nimbly before smacking her over the back of the head. She whined slightly. She clutched her bruised skull as I landed lightly with a huff.
"What about you, baldy? You got a name?"
"I'm not-"
"Madarame Ikkaku," Yumichika said pleasantly. He had a nice voice, even if it was vain.
"Why're you two here so early?" Zaraki grumbled and I heard his bells ring when he scratched his head.
I shrugged. I hated getting up early but Saiko was all smiles and cheeriness by 6:30. We'd gotten here by 7:30 and that's when we met Ikkaku and Yumichika. "Ask her, she's the one who dragged me here," I grumbled.
"I didn't want to be late," she said defensively and crossed her arms.
My eyebrow twitched and I felt a vein throbbing in my head. "No one was even awake when we left," I growled.
"We might as well see what you've got then," Ikkaku grumbled and I heard him draw his sword. Instinctively I pushed Saiko back and had Hakuryuu at his throat before he'd even fully drawn his sword. "What the-" he was cut off by his own shock.
I heard Zaraki laugh. "You'd better watch out Ikkaku, she might take your spot as sanseki."
It was my turn to be surprised. "You're sanseki?" I asked, incredulous.
"Why are ya making it sound so shocking?!" He growled before he tried to grab my hand and fling me off. Just as his hand grazed his wrist I sheathed my sword and used shunpo, appearing at Saiko's side.
She looked a little bewildered before saying angrily, "I can look after myself, Kami."
I didn't say anything. I knew that. But it was just easier if I looked after the both of us. We'd had the argument before but I guessed she was embarrassed in front of our new captain and superiors. "What seat are you?" I asked not even bother to act as if I was looking in Yumichika's direction.
"Goseki."
"As far as I know, you guys frown upon kidou related shikai and bankai…don't you?" I asked. I already knew the answer but I wanted to hear it from their mouths.
"Che," was all Ikkaku said and I felt him look away.
"If I beat you without using shikai, will you take me seriously?" I asked and a challenging grin spread across my lips. I felt Ikkaku's eyes on me and Saiko sighed.
"You're on!" I felt him run towards me, drawing his sword with ease. His feet followed an easily readable pattern. Just before he reached me I crouched and swiped leg underneath him. My foot hooked onto his and I pulled it out from under him sending him sprawling into a face plant.
"HA! Like I'd ever want to be taken seriously by you! That's fer calling me a brat!" I called mockingly and made a face.
"YOU LITTLE- NOUBIRO, HOUZUKIMARU!" I waited, albeit amusement, as he slammed the base of his sword to the base of his sheath. I felt his reiatsu increase as he released his shikai. I grinned. He swiped through the air and I laughed.
"You're too slow!" I teased, dancing just out of reach with each attack. Finally getting bored I jumped onto the end of his naginata and pushed it into the ground before running up the staff.
"Don't underestimate me, GAKI! SAKERO, HOUZUKIMARU!" The staff split under my feet and I leaped backwards. It swung and I heard it slice through the air. I hadn't drawn Hakuryuu yet and I frowned.
I'll guide you. Hakuryuu purred and I grinned. I focused all my reiatsu in my forearm and I slammed it into the blade of his naginata. It blocked it easily and I pushed it aside with grunt of triumph.
"I'm not done yet, gaki!" I didn't even need Hakuryuu to guide me as I listened to the loud hum of the blade cutting through the air. I spread my reiatsu evenly and blocked the blade and moved like I'd watched a cat do once. Carefully I used shunpo to approach him. If I could get close enough, it would be frustrating to use such a long ranged weapon. I ducked under the staff as it cut above me before I took my chance. My reiatsu spilled out, suddenly letting me feel where he was standing. I felt a malicious grin I leapt forward, finding an opening. My fist slammed into his stomach and he was sent flying backwards. I turned slightly and felt a light sting as Houzukimaru retracted, shallowly slicing my cheek. He crashed through the door and I heard a couple of yelps. Knowing they were the new squad members I quickly pulled Yumichika in front of me.
"You're so strong, Yumichika-san, taking down a sanseki," I said enthusiastically, slapped him on the back, and pranced over to Saiko who just stood, frozen in shock.
Zaraki laughed and it resonated through the room, vibrating my bones. "I like ya, gaki," he said and I felt him turn to leave, "I'll leave the introductions to you two." I heard Ikkaku stand up
"I'm gonna kill you, gaki," he muttered.
"What was that, Ikkaku-sanseki-san?" I asked, suddenly being polite. My grin widened when I heard Yumichika snicker.
"OI, YUMICHIKA! DAMARE," Ikkaku yelled causing a few of the new recruits to tremble and inch further away. He turned the cowering shinigami with a foul glare, "OI. MINNA. Line up now."
Everyone scrambled to make a line on either side of Saiko and I.
Leaking out malicious reiatsu he grinned evilly. "This is the beginning of the worst," he sneered. I felt someone pee on the floor.
I know that Toshiro wasn't really in this an i apologize but I wanted to introduce Kami and Saiko :D I hope you like them~!
