Here is chapter two! I really worked hard on this, Praise me later :) I do not own Bleach, Hiou is mine though.
enjoy :)
Hiou sat in dark abyss that she found herself in often, Her pink eyes were closed tightly, her red hair draped over her back and shoulders, as she hugged her knees helplessly. She knew full well what layed beyond her eyelids.
Darkness, complete darkness.
She hated the dark, yet it was all she knew,
She hated the cold feeling that surrounded her whenever she was in its grasp, yet that was the only thing she could feel here,
She hated that the darkness reminded her of a piercing fear that her heart couldn't recall,
Or rather, a terrible dream her soul wouldn't dare remember...
All she knew was this, her name was Hiou, and she hated shinigami, for some reason, whenever she thought of them, her entire being would tremble with a burning hatred!
And visions of ever rising flames,
She hated them all so much that it made her sick!
And maybe, just maybe, killing them all would restore her memory.
Hiou stood to her feet, then standing in the gloom of the pitch black, she remembered...
That's right, I'm Hiou, The Crimon Cherry Blossom. The only emotion I can feel is hate, its my food, my water, my shelter, my destruction, my agony, my peace, my sin, my salvation, My one and only reason for this existence...
Hiou opened her flaring red eyes, the fury running deep within the crimson orbs.
On to the human world.
Three days later...
Toshiro sat on the roof of Orihime's place, He had been in the human world for two days now, Just one day before, there were six gruesome murders in karakura town.
Toshiro sighed as he watched the red sunset,
Yes, red. the color that strange woman doned. He thought. while the vibrant red clad woman's image flashed in Toshiro's mind once again.
He still didn't know whether to believe that woman was real, or just a vivid dream, but it didn't matter, it was only a dream, After all.
And he didn't have time to dwell on a dream, he had the mission in the human world to worry about, Toshiro was on the said mission, along with Rangiku Matsumoto, Rukia Kuchiki, and Renji Abarai.
There have been a series of mysterious deaths, all involving students from Ichigo's and other schools, Whether or not it was a hollow was unknown,
All that was known was this, it couldn't have been the work of a human!
All the bodies that were found were torn apart, limb from limb, and by the looks of it, it was done slowly, very slowly, maliciously, like whoever did it enjoyed the agony they felt,
whoever did it was quite a sadist.
And he had to put a stop to it!
Then, a pair of smooth hands covered his green eyes,
" Guess who? " Said a cheerful voice. Toshiro didn't need to hear her voice to guess who it was.
" Knock it off." Toshiro said.
" You have to guess." She insisted playfully.
" Matsumoto." He said plainly, He was used to her antics.
" Wow, Taichou, your good! " She said as she moved her hands off his eyes. Then she kneeled down beside him,
" So what are you doing up here by yourself, Taichou? " She asked.
" I'm trying to figure out what has been happening lately, That's all." Toshiro answered with a nonchalant tone.
" That's the super smart captain I know and love!" Rangiku said cheerfully.
Love? That simple word rang through the young captain's mind like a bell! But he swallowed his anxiousness before he paniced, After all, if she loved him, it was only a platonic love.
Rangiku"s pretty face then turned a little more serious.
"So, do you have any idea?" She asked him. Somehow she also could tell when he had something important on his mind.
Toshiro sighed wearily, Should I tell her? He thought. Then he turned to her, And their eyes met for a brief second.
Turquoise eyse gazing into light blue ones.
Yes, I can trust her. He thought, smiling inside.
Then Toshiro proceeded to explain to his vice-captain about his dream involving the young woman named Hiou, and how she vowed to destroy the soul society.
And his rising suspicion that she's real.
"So, let me get this straight,"She began. " You've been having a dream about a girl, that's going to destroy the soul society, and for whatever reason, She just happen to tell you, through your dreams?" She finished. then waited for her captains response.
"Yes. Although I can't understand why she's so fixated on me." He said.
"Maybe she's got a crush on you!" She said teasingly, then started laughing at her own joke.
Toshiro just sighed and let her, he wasn't surprized, he knew she'd say something along those lines eventually.
"Seriously, though, this isn't the only time she's invaded your dreams?"
"No, Hiou has been appearing in several of my dreams ever since, and every time she keeps saying the same thing,"
"I plan to destroy all you damn Shinigami!" Her fierce image tore across his mind like a sword.
" I don't know her reasons, but she's definately hell-bent on destroying the soul society." Toshiro explained.
"Do you think she's strong enough?" Rangiku asked, starting to worry.
Toshiro was silent for a moment, then spoke," I think she might be." He answered. Then his expression turned serious, or at least more serious then usual.
"But even so, I'll do everything in my power to stop her, no matter what." He vowed.
Rangiku smiled and then stood beside him,
"And I hope you know that I'll be there for you every step of the way, right?" She said.
A rare smile appeared on Toshiro's face,"Of course, its not like I could stop you anyway."
He was happy that she was there with him, even if she wasn't there the way he wanted her to be, just to have her with him was enough.
And that was all.
And with that, an omnimous wind began to blow through the city, with sakura petals riding on the breeze, it was then that Toshiro knew who was responsible...
Ichigo walked home from school, he was kept late because of a mysterious girl he met earlier that morning.
(Flashback)
Ichigo walked to school, it was a quiet morning, for once asano wasn't there walking with him talking about things like, "how cute Rukia was," or " how big Orihime's breasts were," though, he appeared to hold off on talking about Orihime's cleavage, ever since he noticed how irritated Uryu got the last time. Even Ichigo had begun to notice the Quincy's growing feeling for her, he tried his best to hide it, but it was pretty obvious, in fact, the only one who doesn't know yet is Orihime herself! For whatever reason she thinks Uryu likes Rukia!
As for the girl, she somehow managed to knock half a dozen punks, (that, for whatever reason dicided to attack a single seemingly-harmless girl,) right out of commission! When Ichigo saw them surrounding her in the schoolyard, he had a right mind to beat them all within an inch of their miserible lives, but it quickly became obvious that his assistence wasn't needed.
What he saw was not new to him, He had seen Tatsuki do the same thing on numberous occasions, but there was something strange about her...
he approached the strange female fighter to see if she was injured,
" Hey, are you okay? " He asked.
The girl turned around, her eyes narrowed, and her face in a dangerous scowl.
Ichigo was surprized to see that they were pink, like two cherry blossoms.
Ichigo was a little surprized at how dangerous she looked, at a glance from a distance, she look harmless enough. Yet, she was able to make quick work of those bullies that she was half the size of!
" Who are you?" She asked, her voice sounded so lifeless, like talking to a ghost.
Is she a ghost? Ichigo thought.
"I saw you fight those bullies earlier, I wanted to see if you were hurt, that's all." He answered.
Hiou noticed his odd expression, What is that look in his eyes? Why is he concerned about my physical well-being?
WHY? I don't know!
I don't know!
I don't know!
Ichigo saw the girl's eyes widen as she held herself in an attempt to control her rising panic, She almost looked, scared.
"Hey, are you ok?" He asked,as he placed his hand on her quivering shoulder, With concern in his voice and a worried look on his usually intimidating features.
Hiou looked up into his brown eyes, that look he had frightened her, it seemed so foreign, yet so familiar...
Then Hiou gave an ear piercing shriek as she unsheath her Katana, and ran Ichigo through!
Thats chapter 2! Bet you hate me now!
