It was great weather outside today; warm with a little breeze. I took the day off today due to the major work I put into my body yesterday. I decided on denim shorts and a white crop top with black and white sneakers. I had my hair in a high bun and wore big sunglasses. I gave Hiroshima the day off partly because he deserves one and the other half I just want to be left alone for a while. I decided to go to this shop on the outskirts of the town mainly because not that many people were around so no papparazzi.
"Urahara Shop. I wonder if they sell hojun white peach soda?"
"They do."
*Scream*
Beside me there was a little boy with a yellow shirt and torn black pants. I didnt even see him walk up and Im facing the only entrance.
"Im sorry I didnt mean to frighten you."
"Its fine." I said laughing it off and then I noticed he had a chain coming out his chest.
"Is that some kind of fashion statement."
I asked the little boy nodding towards the chain. " And where are your parents? Do they know you are here alone?"
"My parents and I were in a car crash and when we died I could no longer find them."
"Im so sorry to here th..." Wait what did he just say. Did he just say when WE died. At first I thought he was joking but then I noticed he was see thru.
"What the hell is going on. Is this some kind sick joke?"
The boy looked like he was about to cry. I didnt mean to yell at him but I was freaking out cause if this was a trick it was a damn good one, I mean this kid was so real and then all of a sudden I heard a screeching sound like an animal being wouldnt. Thats when the little boy really started to cry.
"Help me its coming for me the monster its coming!"
If I wasnt scared before I was now. Not only am I speaking to ghost but now there was something coming that was trying to harm him and I heard it coming closer and closer.
*Hollow Scream"
"We have to run come on."
"I cant Im stuck to this place cause this was where I died 50 years ago."
"50 years! Hey kid enough with the games we something is comi..."
What had just stepped infront of me made my mouth drop. It was a huge monster with a white mask on its face. I couldn't believe my eyes but snapped back real quick when I realized it wasnt the boy it was after it was me.
*hollow scream*
It picked up its arm and braced for impact but it never came. I looked up wondering why I havent been crushed yet and saw an orange haired guy with a black kimono on and was holding the monsters arm with this huge sword and I mean huge it was as long as his body.
"Hey are you ok?"
"Y-y-y-yea, what the hell is that and who are you?"
He jumped up in the air and then cut the monster in half and then it just dispersed into dust. He walked ove to the kid and put the back of his sword on the boy's forehead.
"Time to move on kid."
Then there was a bright light and then the kid was gone.
"Hey what happened to that kid and what was that thing and for the last time who the hell are you?" I yelled.
Now I was getting aggravated alot was going on and no answers were being answered.
"My name is Ichigo Kurasaki, Substitute Soul Reaper and that thing was a hollow it was attracted to your spirit energy which I have to say is pretty strong. Oh and the kid I just sent him to the soul society."
I stared at him and he stared at me
I stared at him and he stared at me
I got up and started going throught the bushes, turned over rocks, and looked behind trees.
"Um what are you doing," Ichigo asked looking confused.
"The cameras. There is a show in the americas that pranks celebs and I figured thats whats going on here."
"Celebrity? Hey wait your."
I removed my glasses to confirm his suspitions.
"OMG its Catalaya Vega."
I turned around to see an orange haired girl looking at me with complete stars in her eyes. No doubt she definietly was a fan.
"I love your duet with Akira Kyomi."
"Thank you I appreciate that. Whats your name?"
"Orihime Inuoe pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is mine Orihime. Is it ok if I call you by your first name? Ive only been here a few years and still getting use to the formality rules."
"Yea thats no problem and can I call you Catalaya."
"Sure I prefer it."
"I cant believe Im actually meeting you. What brings you to Urahara's shop?"
And just like that everything that just happened a few minutes ago came back to me.
"Wait wait wait lets get back to the issue. If this isnt a prank what is a hollow and what did you mean I have spirit energy." I said turning my attention back towards Ichigo.
And then there was a flash behind me. I turned around and there was a short black haired girl with the same outfit as Ichigo. She was holding this pez looking clicker with a bunny at the end.
"Whats are you doing."
"Hey you were walking through the woods and tripped over the log and hit your head and we came to help you." She said
"No I definitely wasnt. I was coming here to get something to drink and saw a ghost and a monster with a mask."
"What you still remember everything," she asked looking stunned. "Lets try again."
Then came a series of flashes and each time she gave a different bizarre story on how I got there.
"Are you done?" I asked after 10th try.
"I dont understand your memory should be erased. I just used it earlier and it was fine."
"Maybe it doesnt work on me but back to the situation." But as I was about to ask again about the hollow and ghost boy my phone rang. I loomed at it and I had 4 missed calls from Sebastian. I knew he figured out I sent Hiroshima home. I knew if I didnt call him soon there was going to be an amber alert for me.
"Catalaya is it?"
"Yes"
"Is that your real name."
"It has been as long as I can remember. Why?"
"There is something familiar about your spirit energy and I cant put my finger on it."
"If you think of something let me know. I have to go."
"Wait Catalaya." said Orihime. "Why dont you stay for lunch. We are having a barbeque and it would be amazing to have a celebrity. My friend Tasuki loves you."
I wanted to decline but Ichigo did save my life and Orihime looked like she was going to bust if I said no.
"Sure but I have to make a phone call first."
I walked away to call Sebastian to let him know I wouldnt be back till later. I didnt dare tell him what happened cause one I knew he wouldnt believe me, hell I dont believe me and two I didnt want him to worry. After convincing Sebastian not to send a motorcade I agreed to let Hiroshima come get me when I was done.
I had a fun time at the barbque wants everyone got past the intial starstruck phase they were actually pretty cool. Ichigo and the girl with black hair who name I now know as Rukia explaned to me hollows, soul reapers, spirit energy and the soul society and let me just say it was alot to take in.
I thought about telling Sebastian the truth but decided against it again no need to worry if there is nothing to worry about.
"Have goodnight Ms.Laya."
"Thanks Hiroshima same to you"
"Welcome back Ms.Laya" Sebastian was standing by the door. His eyes grilling me.
"Hello Sebastian. How was your day." and before I heard a reply there was darkness.
