I do not own Bleach or any of the characters which Tite Kubo has created from that extraordinary mind his. I did however create a character which will appear further on in the story. Enjoy ^^ (P.S. First Bleach fanfic but not my first attempt at writing, hopefully my writing has matured much more since last time. No flames, please!!!!!!!! . R&R people)
The story takes place while Ichigo Kurosaki is training to better control his vizard powers with Shinji and the other vizards and is a bit of a...before entering Hueco Mundo type of story.
(Italics Mean Thoughts)
There was a long silence as the spikey orange haired shinigami looked from corner to corner of the dark and somber looking wearhouse as he tried to feel out where the next strike was coming from. His dark brown eyes slowly scanned the room, hightening his senses to a fever pitch, trying not to get thrashed again by the onslaught of his opponent.
"You're looking a tad bit nervous Ichigo Kurosaki" Ichigo looked up instinctively to see a blonde man, his hair cropped short and wearing a black button up shirt, a white tie and trench coat and white jeans to match. He smiled at the orange haired shinigami as if to patronize him. "Never look away from a battle you fool" he said in an amused tone. Ichigo was suddenly brought back into reality by a kick that came at him from the side, hitting him square in the face and sending him crashing violentely through the unforgiving grey concrete wall into the next room.
"Smooth move dumbass!" shouted a little blonde girl wearing a white mask with a horn and diamonds around the forhead. The piercing yellow eyes eminating from the mask and the bared teeth made the girl look intimidating and yet childish as two yellow pig tails sprouted from both sides of the mask. "I think that fool is done for the day Shinji. Im getting tierd of bashing his face in anyways." declared the pig tailed girl as the mask slowly disintegrated, revealing her light brown eyes and single sharp tooth hanging from her mouth as she smiled. The girl floated down next to the blonde man and brushed off her red sweat suit.
"Nice job beating him up Hiyori" the girl smiled triumphantly as she looked up at Shinji Hirako.
"Im not...done yet" both of the vizards looked over to see a staggering Ichigo making his way out of the grey rubble. "We have to keep going...we dont have time for rest" he added, finally getting up on his feet.
"Rest or ill just end up killing you" Hiyori said, taking a seat next to Shinji with her legs crossed. "Besides, Lisa said she wouldnt let you borrow anymore porn if you didnt behave" she added with a smug grin.
"I do not ask her for porn!" screamed a suddenly flushed Ichigo "Im not as...perverted as the rest of you" he replied, faltering a bit as he finished his sentence.
"Dont be so stupid Kurosaki" Shinji interjected with an amused smile "We all know you ask Lisa for porn. We all do" The blonde vizard jumped off the platform he had been standing on and walked over to the orange haired shinigami. "Stop being a sore loser and lets get downstairs. Im sure no one wants to eat in the wearhouse and everyone else will be back with lunch any mintue now." Hirako helped the battered Ichigo walk toward the dark hole gaping on the floor as Hiyori jumped off of the platform and followed them. The dark path stretched far before them as the hole closed off the small amount of light coming in. They walked in silence, taking each step one at a time so as to not make Ichigo fall.
"This is taking too long" stated Ichigo in a annoyed tone "Cant we go any faster?"
"Stop trying to be cool" replied Hyori "Ill push ya down the staris if you complain again!" Ichigo was about to retaliate but stopped halfway as a huge tremor came crashing through the dark hallway. There was a sudden pressure that followed, making it almost impossible for Ichigo to move in his weakened state. The hallway continued to shake violently as the trio made their way down the stairs at a quicker pace. Hiyori made her way past Ichigo and Shinji and raced down the stairs leaving the two of them behind.
"Ill check it out" she called back before diappearing into the darkness. There was another wave of spiritual pressure that came from the end of the hallway but this time it was coming from the pig-tailed vizard.
"Damn it Ichigo!" Shinji cursed "Why do I have to stay stuck with you?" Ichigo glared, trying to move his legs at a quicker pace.
"Thats what you get for training me so hard...I didnt even get a break" muttered the orange haired shinigami under his breath.
"You said you wre fine!" retorted Shinji. He could feel Hyori's spiritual pressure getting closer as they descended the stairs.
"We're almost..." Shinji trailed off as he spoke, his eyes went wide and he turned to look at Ichigo. Ichigo could feel it too and gritted his teeth in response.
"Her pressure...it vanished" Ichigo said, taking his weight off of Hirako and breaking into sprint. The gateway into the underground battle field came closer into view until they were both past it. Before them was a vast clearing with a blue sky above them. There were a few cliffs surrounding the area and the environment seemed to stretch out for mile.
They looked around and there was no sign of Hyori anywhere. They looked towards where the unknown spiritual pressure and followed it.
"Stay out of the fight" Shinji said, looking at Ichigo with a stern look no his face. "Ill kill you if you get in my way." Ichigo watched as Hirako ran beside him, a mix between determination, fury and anguish displayed on his expression. Thay both rounded a corner and in the distance they could see a dark figure standing near a black portal.
"Who the hell is this guy...and how did he manage to open the garganta way out here?" Shinji though as they approached the stranger. He was wearing a black long sleeved fitted shirt that displayed the thin but built features of his chest and jeans of the same color and style. His black hair spiked toward the back of his head and the darkness matched his emotionless black eyes. The most distinguishing feature however was the pure white sheeth that hung off of his back. Obviously the new comer was a shinigami or something close because of the presence of the Zanpakuto on his waist. Ichigo and Shinji slowed to a halt as they approached the unknown shinigami. The dark individual turned to face the duo with cold and unfeeling eyes. He stared the two down, assesing the situation over in his mind. The silence dragged on and the atmopshpere around the three was full of an uncomfortable tension.
"Who are you?" asked the mystery soul reaper, finally breaking the silence between him and the Vizards.
There you have it. Please tell me what you think and please remember, no flaming meh!
Its my first Bleach Fanfic and my second in total.
Who is this mystery shinigami? Why does Shinji like to cut his hair that way? Is orange really Ichigo's natural hair color? And what happened to Hiyori? All these questions will be answered on the next episode of...Dragonball Z...wait...wrong series.
