A Bleach series! I simply adore Bleach, and the character I love the most, Grimmjow will be showcased! I'm hoping for this to be rather long, but it's not set yet. Let me know what you think! I'm multi-tasking on three works right now, so the updates on each will be sporadic. On that note, please enjoy! I do not own Bleach, but I do own Miss Kaida Rurani and her zanpakuto spirit and its abilities.
Kaida ambled down the deserted streets of Karakura Town, a small black cat perched on her shoulder, and a man wearing a green and white striped hat and clogs walking beside her. She was outfitted in a white halter top that stayed together by ribbons tied around the back, exposing parts of her back where the ribbon didn't cover . She had goggles perched on her silvery white hair; bangs shielding her right eye from view. Her jeans had square cutouts in the back so they looked like shorts until the fabric came together again at the knees. She wore black leggings underneath so none of her legs showed through. Black fingerless gloves covered her hands and she wore black sneakers with silver accents. She had a devil may care air about her and carried herself with a confidence that not even the egotistical man next to her could manage.
Night was falling on the town and stars twinkled brightly in the velvety black sky. Kaida looked up at the sky and sighed heavily, eyelids dropping over her clear cerulean eyes. The cat swiveled its head to get a glimpse of the girl's gaping mouth as she yawned loudly, stretching out her arms upward, and curling her hands into a fist to pull her muscles even further. The man watched her in amusement; his eyes that were covered by the shadow of his hat glittered mischievously.
"Ah, Kaida~ what's the matter? You seem tired," he teased, flapping a fan he'd seemingly pulled from thin air in her face. Kaida shoved the fan out of the way, growling slightly.
"Like ya have to ask, Kisuke. You're running me into the ground with all this hollow killing work!" the girl groaned, stretching even further until her joints popped in her shoulders. The cat was squeezed between Kaida's toned bicep and her neck until it let an uncharacteristically high pitched meow. "Ah, shuddap Yoruichi, if you didn't want to get crushed you could have either ridden with Kisuke or walked by yourself, so quit yer whining" the girl grumbled, allowing her arms to swing back in front of her so that she could fold them in front of her chest.
The three continued on, enjoying the rare moment of peace that normally didn't come up in their lifestyles. Kaida was grateful for the lull in all the hollow activity that had been striking Karakura Town lately. It seemed that after Aizen had defected, hollows had been coming in droves, forcing Kaida, Ichigo and the Ryoka to work until they dropped from exhaustion; which had happened more than once, especially with Orihime, who was unused to the extensive workload that had been shoved onto her since the awakening of her powers. Chad and Ichigo tried to hide their fatigue, thinking it to be a weakness to show it, but Kaida could see the weariness etched into their faces and shadow rimmed eyes. She knew it was necessary to keep the people of Karakura town safe, but she desperately needed a break and would take even the slightest moment she had to herself and relish it. Kaida's smile melted into a frown as she thought of the young spacy girl; she'd been missing all day and Kaida was starting to worry for her. She didn't voice her apprehension to the others, though.
The trio rounded a corner, just as a certain redheaded freeloader came racing around the same corner in the opposite direction, apparently heading for the shop. The male sped ahead with such force that he knocked the surprised Kaida clean off her feet, sending her and Yoruichi flying backwards until they slammed into the unforgiving cement of the sidewalk. Kaida heaved herself up into a sitting position with a groan, rubbing her backside and wincing slightly in pain. Yoruichi lay sprawled out on the ground, eyes spinning from the impact. Renji flushed, seeing the two on the ground and offered a hand to Kaida to help her up. Kaida shot him a glare which sent shivers tingling down his back and turned to scoop up the still stunned Yoruichi.
"What could possibly be so important Renji," Kaida asked her voice deathly quiet. "That you would come careening around a corner so fast that you would knock into whatever poor innocent passerby and send them flying into the air?" Renji gulped, sweating visibly. There was a reason this girl had been one of the most feared yet respected captains in Soul Society; when she was angered she could terrify even Kenpachi Zaraki into wetting himself…well that might be an over statement, but it gets the point across that's she's a scary chick, Renji reasoned to himself. Kaida flashed up to the taller man, wrenching him down to her level so he was staring directly into her sparking (yes sparking, not sparkling, cause she's pissed as hell right now) cerulean eyes. Renji trembled in her grip in spite of himself, bracing himself for the storm that was brewing quickly behind the azure eyes of the enraged female before him. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU? THERE HAD BETTER BE A FUCKIN' GOOD REASON FOR YOU TO BARREL INTO ME LIKE THAT AND KNOCK OUT YORUICHI, OR I WILL PERSONALLY SEE TO IT THAT YOU WILL NEVER SET FOOT INTO THAT GODDAMN SUNGLASSES STORE THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH CAUSE YOUR LEGS WILL BE ATTACHED TO YOUR FUCKIN' HEAD! GOT IT?" she shrieked, before dropping the now trembling mass of what used to be considered a brave man. She looked down at Renji in scorn, waiting impatiently for his answer. He remained silent, scared stiff from the assault he'd somehow managed to survive. "ANSWER ME!" she snarled, glaring daggers at the man. Urahara stood in the background, enjoying the show playing out before him. He loved it when Kaida got angry. Not at him of course, but watching others face the wrath of the female captain amused him immensely.
"I-I-I-it's an a-arrancar. He popped up over by Kurosaki's place and is trashing the area. I-I came to find you guys cause they needed help." Renji stuttered, finally finding his voice. Kaida growled beneath her breath spinning on her heel to shunpo away, her captain's coat now fluttering behind her as she popped a mod soul into her mouth. Urahara watched as Renji scrambled to his feet, dashing off after the ex-captain as if his life depended on it, which, in her current mood, it probably did.
