I own nothing but Airika, Yuka, and Hayana!
The young girl sat next to her mother, eagerly awaiting the moment when she would start story time. Her mother always told the best stories to her. The young girl felt as if she was in a different world when she would listen to her mother tells stories about wondrous fables.
"Come on mom." The young girl pressed. "You know what time it is!"
The mother smiled. "Now, calm down Airika. I have a special story to tell you. Sadly, after I am finished, I must go. Caption Yammamoto has summoned me again for a new mission."
Airika flashed a quick smile then frowned. She did not want her mother to go away again. Every time her mother left on these missions, she would not come back home for a long time. Airika had to wait for her until she came back. Airika would worry about her mother often and wonder if she would ever come back. Moreover, as soon as her mother came back, Yammamoto would summon her again for an even dangerous mission.
The moonlight's glow shinned on Airika through the window. Airika inched her way onto her mother's lap. She was positive that the moonlight had to be an omen of some kind. Airika would scare very easily. She also had a low self-esteem. In anything she would do, no matter what the subject was, she would think that she sucked doing it.
"There is something special about the soul society and the human world. They both share the same sky. The living and the non living look upon the same blue sky."
Airika cupped her head in her hands. "The same sky?"
"Yes my dear." She said as she pulled a necklace out her kimono."The sky is a very important aspect to both worlds. It holds what may be the most important power source known to humankind…stars. Believe it or not zanpackuto spirits are made up from stars."
After Airika's mother finished her statement, Airika began to think of her zanpackuto. Though she was only a little girl (At this time), she was extremely smart and talented. After all, her mother was the third seat of squad six.
"Of course a power like that needs to be protected from dark forces who would want to abuse that power. They steal stars from the sky and use them for evil purposes."
"Wait, how can they steal stars from the sky? They are so high above us!"
The woman paused for a while. Explaining how shinigami steal stars from the sky to a six year old would be stressful for her.
"They simply pluck them from the sky." She replied while making hand jesters. The woman opened Airika's palm and put the necklace in her hand. The necklace glowed a bright blue. Airika starred at it in awe.
"This is the guardian's hope. This necklace will keep my spirit with you if I ever disappear. It will also protect you. Hold on to this Airika. It will come in handy someday. Now that you hold the necklace, you have become an honorary guardian of the Watcher of the Sky.
Airika's eyes twinkled. "Wow…that sounds like a huge responsibility. So what is a Watcher of the Sky?"
"The person that protects the stars! Silly Airika!" The woman laughed.
"Hey! That's not funny!" Airika complained. "I didn't know! Ok, so the stars need protection, so the Watcher of the sky protects them, and the guardians protect the watcher of the sky? That is excessively too much protecting! Why does the watcher of the sky need protecting?"
"I'm glad you asked. You see, the Watcher of the Sky will protect the stars, but in doing so, she will become a far more powerful zanpackuto spirit than the rest of the stars. We called it, a supernova. It is a weapon capable of mass destruction. Only a limited amount of shinigami have supernova. For instance, caption Yammamoto has one. However, in order to become a super nova, the Watcher of the Sky must have a pure soul to transform. Many people will try to hold her hostage, and maybe even kill her before she transforms. That is very dangerous. If she does not become a super nova, the whole world's natural balance will be tampered with. There is no telling what could happen! That's were her guardians come in! They protect her from those who wish to harm her! Do you get it now?"
"Yes!" Airika smiled." So are you a guardian mommy?"
It did not take long for Airika to notice that this was the reason why her mother had to go. To guard the super nova. Airika clutched her newly obtained necklace in her hand. Her blue eyes began to tear up. Her mother noticed that it was her time to leave and took Airika off her lap. She grabbed her zanpackuto and stepped towards the door.
"Promise me…you'll come back?" Airika said sobbing.
The mother stopped walking and starred softly at her daughter.
"W-What if you don't come back? Yammamoto cannot keep doing this! What if you die?"
Airika ran up to her mother. "I won't let you go--"
Airika's mom flash stepped behind Airika and knocked her out with a swift blow to the neck. She carried Airika to her room. She tucked her into her bed, and kissed her forehead. She looks at Airika's posters of female actor and models plastered around her room. That was Airika's dream, to become a model. She knew that this mission was dangerous. She knew that she might be killed. Therefore, she took the time to cherish life. Just so, her enemies would not take it.
"Be nice Airika. I will always watch over you."
I close both blinds below the window; I close both blinds and turn away. Sometimes solutions aren't so simple. Sometimes goodbyes the only way.
And the sun will set for you; the sun will set for you. And the shadow of the day, will embrace the world in gray and the sun will set for you.
In cards and flowers on your window, your friends all plead for you to stay. Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple. Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you; the sun will set for you. And the shadow of the day, will embrace the world in gray and the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day, will embrace the world in gray and the sun will set for you
The brown haired shinigami eyes kept open. A bright light blurred her vision. Where was she? She dug her hands into the surface she was lying on. It felt like some sort of mattress.
"It's been nearly three days since you brought her in here Ichigo. Are you sure she is not dead?" A slightly sleepy Yuroichi asked. She sounded pissed. I would be too if I had to watch a woman for three days straight.
"If she was dead I wouldn't have brought her hear in the first place!" Ichigo shot. "She slayed a hollow, and just collapsed."
Collapsed? Airika thought. I could not have collapsed! I took care of that hollow with no problems at all! Airika wanted to get up, but for some odd reason her body would not move. Oh no….I have been drugged! Airika shut her eyes tightly so that neither of them could tell that she was awake.
"So this is your crazy new language arts teacher? Do you remember her name?" Another voice said. It was defiantly a male's voice.
"Nah I'm not good with names." Ichigo muttered.
Airika could not believe what she had heard. What? That insolent kid!
As soon as Airika was going to get up and say something, her necklace began to glow red again. Only this time, it glowed redder than ever.
Airika managed to sit up. Her head was throbbing in pain. She instantly fell back down. "You have got to be kidding me." Airika winced.
"Don't strain your self," Yuroichi said. "What's happening to you?"
Airika touched her necklace. "Was I really knocked out for three days?"
"Yep, you were knocked out cold." Urahara joined in.
Just when Airika was going to explain the situation to the three, her cell phone started to ring. Airika dug into her pocket and pulled it out.
"Who the hell is it?"
"Uh…Airika! A shrieking voice answered. "It's me Hayana! There are people dressed in black with sharp swords trying to kill me! All I have to fend my self with is my bat! Help me!"
Airika's eyes widened. Hayana was Airika's best friend in the human world. They were roommates. They were friends since child hood.
"What? Do you feel a sort of tingling feeling in your hand?"
"I don't know! Just save me!"
Hayana ended the call. Oh no….this cannot be good. The super nova will have to wait!
"Change of plans! I have to go save my friend right quick! Thank you all for your help!"
"You think we are going to let you go so easily? We know you are a soul reaper. You have to answer a few questions." Yuroichi said shrewdly.
Airika got up and grabbed her zanpackuto. "I'll come back I promise!"
Airika flash stepped out of Urahara's shop. She quickly arrived to the front of her and Hayana's house. Soul reapers were scattered around the house. On there shinigami uniform was a red orb like sign. They were not shinigami from the seriate. Airika's ran up to the closes goon and grabbed his kimono.
"Why the hell are you guys here?" Airika demanded.
The unlucky shinigami grunted. "Hey, you must be the newbie. We are trying to capture the super nova, but she's putting up a fight in there."
Airika's heart raced. Her best friend -- a super nova? No way!
"Are you sure?"
"Well yeah. She is emitting spirit waves like crazy. Her name is Hayana Toshiba, age--"
Airika's grip tightened around the shinigami's uniform. "Today is your lucky day! You get saved from my sword!
Airika threw the soul reaper across the sky. That got the others attention.
"Shit she is a guardian."
Airika unsheathed her zanpackuto.
"Die you bastards!"
Hayana was hiding in her closet with a baseball bat in her hands. These people were crazy.
"Come on…why won't you come with us?"
"Uh because you guys are stupid idiots who want to kill me."
The soul reaper did not like Hayana's tone. Hayana swung her bat to intimidate the soul reaper, but he just grew angry.
"Listen you little worm I--"
KRIIIIING! Hayana opened the door open and hit the shinigami's head. He flew into the wall. Hayana was a pro at baseball. She was not just a girly girl.
"Airika! Helllp!"
Airika busted through the front door. Most of the shinigami were slain. Airika and Hayana lived in a huge house; therefore, Hayana could have been anywhere making it much harder for Airika to find her.
"Hayana! Where are you?"
"I'm right here!" Hayana yelled. She was at the top of the staircase. Airika waved to Hayana and smiled.
"Hurry up!"
A huge explosion hit the ceiling, causing Hayana to fall down the steps. Ouch…thirty-one steps. As soon as Hayana was done falling, Airika busted into laughter.
"OUCH! This is not funny!"
Airika was laughing so hard that she did not notice that a surviving soul reaper had grabbed Hayana. He had some sort of wings, and began to fly into the sky.
"Crapola!" Airika exclaimed. "They are up to high!"
Airika looked at her zanpackuto and smiled. "Lilyan separate!"
Airika's zanpackuto split into two steel fans.
"Hayana you better hope I have some good aim!"
Airika threw her right steel fan up into the air. It was a chance, but Airika knew she could hit the right person. The fan brushed against Hayana's chest, almost cutting her in half. Hayana fainted.
"Fuck." Airika stammered.
She threw her left fan into the air, successfully cutting the shinigami in half. The fainted Hayana crashed down to earth into Airika's arms. Airika scanned her home and frowned.
"Well, it looks like we have to go back to the soul society."
