Luna: So, the second chapter is up, finally! I hope you enjoy^^
~Katarina POV~
We hadn't gone far before one appeared in front of us. When we tried to back track, the second was there to stop us as well. Jazmin and I were back to back, with the former facing the second one and me facing the second. Little Lady was at Jazmin's side, growling.
"Two humans? How unusual." The one that had stopped us first, spoke with a deep voice. He wore no shirt, leaving his muscular chest bare and showing that his hole was at his abdomen and partly below the white hakama's he was wearing. His mask covered his eyes like glasses that was glowing an eerie green. His hair was the same color of green as his eyes, and was cropped short and messy. His Zanpakutō was unsealed, showing it was a short, elegant sansetsukon with a short chain and was placed at his left hip.
The other, who hadn't spoken yet, was short like Jazmin. His hair was the color of dried blood, as was his eyes. He had two purple horizontal lines under his left eye like claw marks. He too was showing off his chiseled chest, but with a band crossing over his chest that was also holding his Zanpakutō on his back. His bottoms looked just the same as the first ones. His mask covered the bottom half of his face, and down his neck almost like a collar, which also circle his own Hollow hole at the base of his throat. Where the mouth-line looked like it was stitched shut, but it seemed he was able to move it. Both of the Arrancars sported pointed ears.
"Indeed brother. And an unusual animal." His voice floated behind his mask, his blood red eyes were now studying the growling Little Lady.
"Fear not canine, we have not come to harm your masters." The first who had spoken assured the large dog, who had lessened with her growling.
"What are your names?" The first asked.
I glared at the two. "Shouldn't the one asking, be the first to introduce one's self?" I questioned right back.
"That one has spunk." The second chuckled.
The first smiled. "Indeed. Alright my name is Acilino Alejandro, Arrancar Número Seventeen. My brother's name is Aciano Alejandro, Arrancar Número Sixteen." Acilino introduced with a slight bow.
"May we now know yours?" Aciano asked with a goofy grin. At least I think so, cause the stitched bone mouth looked goofy now.
"...I'm Katarina Rosia. And this is my little sister Jazmin Rosia. And our partner there is Little Lady." I said, introducing my sister and our dog.
"Pleasure to meet you Miss Katarina, Miss Jazmin and Little Lady." Acilino greeted. "Now may we ask how you three ended up here? We promise not to hurt you. In fact, my brother and I have a feeling you two will be quiet entertaining. And as you can see, it's awfully boring here."
Jazmin and I slightly eased from the tense position's we had been in. Even Little Lady had. "If we do, could you be able to bring us back to the human world?" I asked.
The two brother Arrancar's looked to each from each side and shrugged. "Sure. This is no place for human girls anyways. You don't even have weapons to help defend yourself." Acilino said.
"That and we have nothing better to do. Would be fun to visit the human world for a few moments." Aciano added and walked to his brother's side and the two sat. Jazmin turned and sat beside me and Little Lady as well.
"This may sound strange, but where we live is across the world from Japan. My sister and I were about to settle down for the night, and I was getting us some snacks. Our lights had then gone off. We went outside to check on Little Lady." I started, leaving out the part where I had a mini panic attack from the lights going out. I hate the dark; one would never know what might be lurking in the shadows.
Jazmin nearly rolled her eyes, and decided to finish. "We couldn't find the outside Fuse box-"
"What's a fuse box?" Aciano asked with his hand raised. His brother looked annoyed with him for raising his hand.
"It's a power box. You flip some switches if the lights go out to get them back on. Anyways, we headed back inside and lit a candle."
"Cause our family doesn't believe in flashlights." I butted in.
Jazmin ignored, and continued. "We made it down the steps with... some difficulty. Don't ask." Jazmin said, causing Aciano's hand pause mid-way before he sheepishly placed it on his lap and he grinned.
"Then we walked towards the fuse box, but as we walked we noticed that we kept going. Our basement wasn't huge. Hell, we should have walked into a wall three steps away from the stairs. We had then realized that we were in some sort of cavern. Little Lady led us out as we had heard faint voices, and then we came out into the desert. We walked before we stopped to rest. Well, I rested. Katarina was feeling unsafe and hadn't done so. And then I woke up, and you know what happened after that." Jazmin finished.
"One question. How did you know that you were closer to Japan in the Human world, then where you originally started?" Acilino asked.
I saw Jazmin glare at me, but I answered without missing a beat. "That's the language we're talking. My sister and I have studied Japanese. We knew because you two spoke first, so I assumed that that would be a logical language to speak." I explained and shrugged.
Jazmin almost sighed in relief beside me. I was thankful that we loved watching anime with their Original voices, and had thus learned the language.
"I see. We shall help you get back." Acilino said as he stood, and Aciano stood as well.
"One question, is anything 'big' going on?" I asked as I dusted sand off the long blue skirt, and my dark red shirt with wide sleeves that I was wearing.
"Not that we know of." Acilino said.
"You know, you two are odder than most." I said as I made sure Little Lady wouldn't run over to them. She had taken a shine to Aciano.
"What do you mean?" Acilino asked as he got a Garganta ready to open in the Human World.
"Well, it's just that don't you eat humans and Hollow's for their spiritual powers?" Jazmin asked.
"Sometimes. Speaking of which, you both seem to have very strong spiritual power." Acilino said.
Before either of us could answer, a Garganta had appeared and three men stepped from it. The one that was in the middle, and the leader, was none other than 'that basterd Aizen' that my sister had put it so kindly earlier from her rant. The other two were Gin, and Tousan.
I felt my shoulder be grabbed and pulled from behind, and I looked to see that Aciano had me and Little Lady as well. Acilino had Jazmin close to him. Aizen studied us, while Gin's smirk had widened.
"Well, well! I never thought to see two humans here. Let alone two Arrancar seeming protective of them." He chuckled.
I looked at the three, my eyes stopping on Aizen. Since watching Bleach, I could almost tell what he was thinking from the calculating look in his eyes. And if what Acilino said was true, he was gauging our spiritual powers. And I didn't like the look that was now showing as he looked to Acilino and Aciano.
"Hello." He greeted with a smile, and I shivered from the creepy feeling I got. It made me want to cringe into Aciano; no matter how much smaller he was than me.
"Greetings Shinigami." Acilino said, his eyes, I think, never moving from them.
"How did these two get here?" Aizen asked. I then took note that he still wore his Shinigami clothes. 'Are we really that far back in the series?' I thought.
"I think you mean three." I looked over to see that Jazmin had spoken, and had stepped away from Acilino, arms crossed.
"Three?" Aizen mused, thinking she might be mental. If he wasn't, then I sure was.
"You left out Little Lady." Jazmin said in a matter of fact voice, and gesturing to our dog that was standing by me still.
"It seems I did." Aizen smirked, and Jazmin scowled.
"We brought them. And not against their will. They are our sisters." Acilino said. I glanced at him rather confused. I mean to become an Arrancar you need to eat a lot of Hollows, and it could take years.
"Sister's? I find that hard to believe. But then, they do seem to hold a great amount of power." Gin said, bending to get a better look as Jazmin and I.
"Personal space much." I muttered, my eyes narrowed. "I would like to leave now, brother." I said, glancing towards Acilino. He gave a slight nod.
"We don't mean to harm the humans; we won't be staying in the Human world for long." He said politely.
"Not so fast. What are your names?" Aizen asked.
"Is it not polite that the one asking, should say theirs first." I asked. I mean, honestly! Is it so hard to say your name, then ask? I mean sure we knew their names, but we couldn't exactly say that we do. Then we might not get away from these damn ex-shinigami. Though Gin was one of my favorites, and Tousan I held very little respect for. Though it was there.
I caught Aciano smirking, most likely remembering that that was what I had first said to them not that long ago.
"Best watch that mouth of ya's , Snippy." Gin told me, his frown gone.
"Now Gin, that's no way to introduce yourself to them." Aizen reprimanded his subordinate. His cold brown eyes then looked to me. "I am Aizen Sōsuke. These are my colleague's Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen. Now youselves?"
"I'm Katarina. This is Jazmin, Little Lady, Acilino and Aciano. Now may we go?" I said in a hurried rush.
Aizen smile turned slightly sadistic. And by slightly, I meant a lot. I instantly regretted that we had stayed for so long and turned to Acilino.
"Say something." I whispered to him.
"Like what?" He whispered back.
"Anything! I don't feel safe at the moment." I said a little panicky.
"And yet you feel safe with two Arrancars?" Aciano whispered, butting in.
"Duh!" I whispered to him with a slight glare.
"Well, Katarina I am afraid something is wrong." I stiffened and turned to Aizen.
"And that would be?" I asked, keeping my voice from shaking at the terror that crept through me.
"You and your sister are not related to these two." He stated more than asked.
"Why would you say that? You don't know everything about me, or else you would have known my name." I pointed out and crossed my arms to hide the shaking that got to me.
Aizen's look then became colder, if that was even possible. "What makes you think I didn't? Katarina...Rosia."
It was then a weird mist surrounded us, and I felt Aciano pull me closer to him. Acilino, Jazmin and Little Lady soon appeared. "Acilino, get Jazzy and Little Lady out of here!" I hurriedly whispered.
"And you?" He asked.
"Out of us two, who's SP is more powerful?" I asked. He didn't say anything. "Exactly. Please. Get help if you must. And hurry, I know it was you that did this I saw you from the corner of my eyes."
He nodded grimly. "I don't want to leave without you!" Jazmin whispered.
"You must. I have Aciano to protect me." I smiled encouragingly.
She sighed and nodded. A small Garganta appeared and Acilino ushered Jazmin through. He looked to his brother, and both nodded. Then it was just us.
"Give me your hand." Aciano said. I did and he grabbed it. I then felt a stinging sensation on my palm, and it traveled to my face.
He then let go, and nodded as if to satisfide and now that the mist had cleared, and we were in view we each had a Zanpakutō to our throats.
"Where is the other girl and Arrancar?" Aizen demanded, ignoring the fact the Little Lady had gone as well.
"I don't know." I answered honestly.
"Your lieing. Tell me now, and I might let you live." Aizen threatened.
I showed disinterest in this. "Go ahead, kill me. My sister will be well looked after, and you will never see her again. And it'll be the easy way out for me, so as not to see your repugnant face."
Aizen glowered at me, then his eyes narrowed. "Knock her out." Was the last thing I heard before blackness over took me.
R&R please!
