Minawa: Geeh, Another one? I have to have a serious talk with myself.
Btw, I only own my OC's and the storyline, nothing else.
I lied down on my bed after a long and fun Sunday. I didn't really get many days like this, not when working as a substitute Shinigami. It made you appreciate the time that you have. `Okay, now I sounded like and old man waiting for death…´ I thought and turned to lie on my left arm. I stared out into my dark room when I noticed something abnormal. A shadow moving, not inside the room but from outside…
I sat up and had a look throughout my window.
Across the street I saw a figure sitting crouching on top of a phone pole. I sat up even more now, a mistake on my part. The shadow saw me and instantly jumped down. Without the moonlight behind him I saw whom, or more like, what it was.
It was a hollow and from the looks of it, it looked like a female human. It confused me and as the hollow ran down the street I made a quick decision. I grabbed my wooden Shinigami plate and pushed it onto my chest. My soul came out and moments later I jumped out the window and began my pursuit.
It bothered me a bit. Why was she outside my house? If she's a hollow, why didn't she attack? And why is she so slow?
She was. Or at least it was no problem catching up to her. Even me who am horrible at sensing spiritual energy thought of this as a child's play. If not…
She slowed down and then stopped not to far away from the park. I too stopped at a good distance, gripping my sword.
"Who are you?" I asked in a steady voice. No response.
"Are you a hollow?" I asked again. It was hard to tell but for a moment I thought she flinched at the second question. Moments later she turned around.
She was wearing a white mask with four red stripes running down over her eyes and forehead but the first thing I noticed was her eyes. Yellow glowing against black, a piercing and cold stare. They sent chills down my spine and almost made me lose focus.
It was obvious that she was a hollow. Not only the eyes but she also had white long wild hair with a single thick black stripe in her bangs. Her outfit was a mix of a once whole dress and bandages. Bone-like pieces covered her shoulders, shins and lower parts of her arms. She was tall, only an inch shorter than myself and her stance was without doubt threatening. The most obviously part was the hole in the middle of her chest.
She slid the mask upwards, putting it on the right side of her forehead.
"I'm not really a hollow," she said grinning as a big and long blade grew on her right arm. Now the outer part of her arm had become a weapon. I released my Zanpaktou.
", … but I know that you are, Ichigo Kurosaki." She continued as her blade was fully grown.
"That's why I'm going to kill you." She said and attacked.
"And then? What happened?" Orehime said with sparkling eyes as I stopped temporarily to drink from my juice. I swallowed and sighed.
"Calm down. This isn't a movie, Orehime." I said a bit annoyed.
"What's wrong Ichigo? I thought you liked attention." Rukia said with a teasing voice as she ate from her lunch bread. I sighed.
"That's not it. After just disappearing I thought she'd come back but she didn't. I haven't slept at all." I said and rubbed my aching eyes. Ishida pushed his glasses in place.
"You mean she didn't attack you?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, it's weird. One moment she wants to kill me and the next she just stops and disappear." I said now serious. I really didn't get it…
"Maybe she got cold feet?" Orehime suggested. We all thought about it for a second but I shook my head.
"No, I don't think so. Her eyes… were filled with hate." I said, remembering last night.
"Maybe you knocked up her sister or something…" Rukia said, sipping on her juice. We all froze and stared at her, surprised that she'd even suggest such a thing.
"Of course I didn't!" I said obviously embarrassed. Rukia nodded.
"Well, I read in a girls blog that a guy `knocked her sister up´ and she got so angry she beat him up. Girls are scary these days…" She said. We all were too surprised to counter that. I seriously needed to keep her away from the Internet…
"Um… Rukia? Do you know what it means to knock someone up?" Orehime asked. Rukia shook her head letting us all breath out in relief.
"I'll explain it to you so let's go ahead of the boys." She said and pulled Rukia on her feet. They walked off, talking a bit when I started eating again. It was quiet.
"You didn't, did you?" Ishida asked. Now I was beat red.
"Of course not! God…" I said and stood up.
"I'll see you in class." I said and walked of leaving Ishida and Chad alone on the rooftop.
I walked down the stairs and through the hallway towards the classroom.
My thoughts almost unconsciously wandered off to last night. Why had she stopped? Or more like, why did she want to kill me? Without much of an answer I pushed the thoughts aside and walked inside the classroom.
"I-chi-Go!" a shadow flew past me as I dodge it and walked over to my desk. The shadow got up and laid himself all over the desk.
"That's so cold! Aren't we supposed to be friends?" Keigo said as he rolled like a worm. I rolled him over making him fall down.
"No thanks." I said and put away my bento. Keigo got up with fury in his eye.
"Fine! If that's the way you want it to be. Just remember the day you turned your back to your friend and broke his heart! I will have my revenge…" he preached on until Mizuiro dragged him off. I sighed as Sensei came into the classroom and everyone got to his or her seats. I pulled out my book and pen but stopped when I felt something familiar. An aura or more like a feeling sending chills down my spine. I glanced over to Rukia and Ishida but they didn't seem to sense it like I did.
"Yes, everyone. Can I have your attention?" Oshi-sensei said. "Today we'll get to meet our newest class member so be kind to her." She continued as she gave Keigo an extra look. Without further notice a girl walked in through the door.
She wore our uniform but you could easily notice the changes she'd made. Instead of a red bow and white socks she wore a black tie and black socks. Down her right hip a double chain hang glittering. Looking at her more closely you'd also see her black hair with a single white stripe in her bangs and her heavy make-up. That and her eyes.
Yellow piercing eyes sending chills down your spine with just one look. I already knew who she was and she obviously knew who I was.
"Why don't you introduce yourself?" Ochi-sensei said and smiled. The girl, to our surprise, smiled back turning to look at the class.
"Hello everyone! My name is Shizuya Ayumi and I'll be joining your class. I hope we'll all get along and that you won't judge me by looks. I know I might look scary but I'm a really nice person!" She said and smiled at us.
"Well, why don't you have a seat?" Ochi-sensei said and searched the classroom for an empty seat. In the mean time I tried to make contact with the others.
"Maybe behind Ichigo? Over there." Sensei pointed. I froze and stared at her I disbelief as Shizuya nodded and walked towards me. I thought about protesting but Sizuya was already sitting down behind me. Her hand landed on my shoulder as she leaned forward.
"Hello, Ichigo. Let's get along, shall we?" she said as her hand gripped my shoulder tightly and all those innocent vibes she'd been giving off where long gone.
"Y-yeah, sure." I said and sweat dropped. As she let go I tried not to sigh with relief or run away. This girl was dead scary for crying out loud!
I hurried down the street avoiding Rukia's questioning stares. Right now I just wanted to get home in one piece. My wishes were in vain as a familiar figure appeared from around the corner. I sweat dropped as my newest classmate and enemy grinned at me.
"Finally, I thought I'd have to wait the whole day. Such a slow guy." She said with a bored voice. I sighed and tried to forget all my previous worries.
"Really? Sorry 'bout that. It's not like I wanted to make you wait." I said and continued to walk. She didn't move but that didn't make me drop my guard. Then a hand landed on my shoulder.
"You're Ayumi-chan, right? I'm Rukia, remember?" Rukia suddenly popped up and said with her awfully sweet voice. I sweat dropped and didn't really know which one of these girls I should fear the most.
Too my surprise; Shizuya Ayumi won.
"Yes, of course I remember. I can call you Rukia, right?" she said with an innocent voice and a bright smile. I bet she could fool anyone with such an attitude. Rukia just nodded.
"Sure thing. But we gotta run now, see you tomorrow!" Rukia said and ran off, dragging me with her.
I waited until they turned the corner before I dropped the stupid smile I had plastered on my face. Such a pain…
I walked the opposite direction as I thought about the facts I'd gathered during the day. It had actually surprised me to see that the situation had been so different from what I had imagined but then again, this wasn't my first time hunting a human hollow.
The classroom had been suffocating me with spiritual pressure and it seems like this fellow, Kurosaki Ichigo had some pretty strong friends. Especially that Rukia Kuchiki. Her energy I could recognize but there was also the big tanned guy, the four-eyes and that dumb redhead I couldn't place. Not only that but a lot of the students would probably be able to see spirits…
Such a strange school… but I couldn't let a hollow in human form run loose. I knew far too much about the damage creatures such as myself could cause.
I stopped my pace and looked up at the blue sky and the fluffy clouds as I gripped my left arm. How disgusting… I thought as I continued walking.
Minawa: Wow, I made you pretty depressing, didn't I? *looks at Shizuya*
Shizuya: ...*gives deadly stare*
Minawa: ...Okaay, moving on...
