Sorry about that lack of update in many many months, but I really didn't see the point in updating this story when I barely got any reviews...wtf am I say I got no reviews what so ever. Because of this I've had very little motivation. Of course since then my writing skills have gotten better.
Ichigo: So yeah, from what I remember, Eriko and Soi Fon were about to train, right?
Yeah pretty much.
Ichigo: So exactly when do I show up in this story?
You'll get your spotlight just wait strawberry.
Ichigo: Damn it, it means Number One Guardi-
All right enough talking lets get on with it.
Shinigami Chronicles 2
Eriko began jumping across the rooftops of the buildings on the way to through the Seireitei. His destination was the meadow in the middle of the forest in South Rukon. He launches himself off of the last building before the wall. It was open so he just walked through, waved at the guard and flash stepped the rest of the way to the meadow, where Soi Fon and Omaeda waited for him.
"Your late again Eriko, twice today." Soi Fon said leaning against the nearby tree as Omaeda was, again, eating his cookies.
"By what, 7 seconds? Come on lets get started." Eriko unsheathed his Zanpakutou and got into stance, his sword held tradition style. "I've been practicing a little so don't expected the same from the last time we sparred together."
Soi Fon took Suzumebachi from its scabbard "I hope so. You should have made some progress since last time assuming you have been training."
Eriko began running toward Soi Fon and swung his sword overhead, only to have Soi Fon block it with hers "Predictable as usual." Soi Fon attempts hits Eriko in the stomach with her palm, but instead, her hand goes through an afterimage "What?" Eriko swings his sword from behind her. Soi Fon flash steps, and reappears a few meters away. "It seems you've been working after all."
"I've got to make sure not to fall behind everyone else right." Eriko runs toward Soi Fon and flash steps behind her, makes a quick sweep at her legs, unsuccessful as she jumps forward into flip. She rushes at him as Eriko gets back up on his feet. She sends her fist at him but Eriko ducks to the right only to be hit in the head by Soi Fon's falling heel kick. (A/N: Literally HEAD SHOT!)
"Ow, what the hell? I thought we weren't going to use dirty attacks. That was hitting me right in the head." He rubbed the large lump on his head. "I mean come on, you know how much this hurts?"
"Oh quit whining you big baby. You're a man aren't you?" She sheaths Suzumebachi and folds her arms. "You and I both know you've taken hit much worse then that anyway."
Eriko gets back up, still rubbing his head. "Still it couldn't hurt to go easy." Eriko puts his sword away and pulls it off his back by the sash it hangs on to and he tosses it to Omaeda, who catches it and sets it down.
"Now will do some hand to hand training." Soi Fon gets in to her stance while Eriko readies himself. "Don't hold back, or you might regret it."
"Heh, you don't have to tell me twice." Eriko flash steps to his captain's side and punches her in the gut but she catches it and knees him in the stomach. Eriko backs up and clutches his stomach while goes for a roundhouse kick to his head. Eriko catches her leg, takes and throws her but Soi Fon places her hands down to land on them and recovers back on her feet.
"You're almost better fighting with your hands than with your Zanpakutou. This good in case you get in trouble after I strip you of it and you get into a fight." Soi Fon said and began running at him doing a spin and going into heel kick. Meanwhile Eriko ponders what she just said and puts his arm up to catch her leg.
"What did you by "Stripping me of my Zanpakutou?" he takes her arm and kicks Soi Fon in her side and punches but she ducks and trips him. She grabs his leg and throws him a few feet into the air. Eriko was recovers but falls into Soi Fon's knee, it going in his stomach, and he falling to the ground clutching his stomach.
Soi Fon folds her arms "That was grabbing my ass the other day. I told you I'd get you back didn't I?" she says looking at her subordinate as he tries to pick himself up. "Remember this next time you try something perverted."
"I told you that was an accident, I trip and my hand just happened to end up on your butt. Blame Omaeda for leaving his banana peels all over the place." He said still hold his gut.
"Hey I told you that wasn't my peel. It was one of the other squad members who didn't pick up after himself." He said raising his arm and shaking it.
"Yeah whatever Lieutenant." Eriko walked over and picked up is Zanpakutou and strapping it too his back. " He then walked back over to he Captain. "Maybe we should head back to the 2nd Division barracks. The squad might get restless without us."
Soi Fon nodded. "Okay, I have to make sure to get out paperwork turned in anyway." She began walking back toward the Seireitei, Omaeda following behind when Eriko called to her. "Hey Captain." She turned around and looked back him. "How about a race. First one who gets back to the barracks wins. The losers have to do the rest of this week's paper work by themselves."
Soi Fon smirked. "Ok then, the last one who gets there will have to will have to their work and the winners as well."
"Deal, you in Omaeda?" he asked the big man as he walked over to the pair.
"Yeah. Chance are I won't beat the captain but you on the other hand." He began walking ahead to the gates.
Once they were there, and through the gates, the race began. "On the count three." Eriko said as he started to stretch his legs. He did his warm ups and got on his mark.
"Wait, are we going on three or after three?" he said cracking his neck.
"You know what, before we get to the argument about going after three or on three and things get hectic and people probably get a laugh or think its overused and blah blah blah, how about we just go when I say go?" Eriko said to the big guy.
"Fine with me, so lets just start already." Soi Fon got ready to move and wait for the signal.
"3, 2, 1, Ready Set GO!" The three each began a fury of flash steps back to the barracks. Eriko stopped on the second building he'd jump on a rooftop and began hopping the buildings, after five hops he landed on the ground and began to sprint towards the direction of the barracks. While running he'd brushed passed Rangiku Matsumoto who went into a spin and almost fell out of her top. "Hey Eriko watch where you running! You almost ran me over!" she said yelled to him.
"Sorry Ran-chan I'm in a hurry!" he called back to her before jump over a wall into the next alley.
"I wonder what's got him moving so fast for. Probably trying to avoid being late. Ah well, he was never that punctual in Squad 10 either." Rangiku began walking back to where ever she was going.
Eriko sneezed while still moving through alley. He hops back on the rooftops and starts the flash steps again. He keeps going all the way to the Squad 2 barracks. "Yes first" he says panting, trying to catch his breath.
"Actually your second." Soi Fon said sitting on a nearby by bench and sipping tea."
"Damn it. Bested by the Captain yet again." Eriko said looking over in the her direction. "I guess that makes Omaeda last."
"Which means he is the one who has to do my paperwork for the next week" she takes another sip of her tea and gets back up and starts walking back inside. Then Omaeda appears back outside the gates.
"Aw man, I'm last?" he says surprise Eriko got here first.
"Yep, so you're doing all of Soi Fon's paperwork for the next week. Good luck with that Lieutenant." He then began walking back inside.
Omaeda began making his way in behind him when a Hell Butterfly came up to him. "Huh. I see, I'll tell right away." Omaeda began running towards his Captain. "Hey Captain!"
Soi Fon and Eriko turned around to see the large lieutenant running toward.
"We just got a message from Squad 1. Captain Kuchiki and Lieutenant Abarai have returned from the Living World with Rukia Kuchiki." He said giving them the message from the hell butterfly. "It looks like she turned her powers over to a human. Her punishment is to be determined in a couple of weeks."
"So they found her huh. She's gone for a few months and comes back in trouble. I hope they go easy on Rukia." Eriko said before stretching a little. "I'll have to go see a little later."
"You can do what you want. Chances are there will be a Captain's meeting about this soon. I'll go take care of the paperwork and get ready for it just incase. I'll see you two later." Soi Fon began making her way back toward he office.
"Later Captain." The two said and went there own ways.
"And Eriko, one last thing." Eriko turned around to hear what his Captain had to say. "If you are late once more, let's just say your punishment won't as lenient as the last one. You could end up with a few broken limbs." Eriko gulped as the captain made her way back toward her office. He looked to Omaeda who was snickering his but off "Quiet fat ass!"
