Chapter 2
Couple of weeks later, Aerith was still home sick but her magic sickness was getting better. Sniffing, Aerith sat on her purple bean bag chair watching cartoons. She still had a fever but it wasn't that high. There was a knock on the door that made her look as the door opened, Jess walked in holding something in her hand. It was a book with a silver hard cover. Aerith smiled "Mama" Jess smiled back and walked in knelling next to her "How are you feelings?" Aerith sniffed slightly "Good, just got the sniffles mama" Jess smiled and handed her the book "Here, it's a good read. It's a book of protection magic, study it and I will give you a test on it" Aerith smiled "Thank you mama" Jess stood up "when you're feeling better we can head to the bridal shop and look at dresses" Aerith had a big smile on her face "yeah!"
At school, Jaiden was finishing up the last page of his book for his reading program. Rei was reading alongside him. She closed the book and sighed. "Such a sad ending…do you think stories should always have happy ending?" Jaiden closed his book. "No, it will make everything boring and predictable." Rei smiled at him and notice his hair getting longer. "Are you going to cut your hair?" Jaiden reached up and rubbed some of his hair between his fingers. "I do not know yet." Rei giggled. "You should keep it at a regular length." She blushed and twirled her hair with her fingers. "You look…very handsome like that." Jaiden glanced at her before turning his attention towards the window. She smiled at him before reaching in a bag and pulling out a thick book. She placed it on his desk before pulling out her own book.
As the day went on the lunch bell rang and Mrs. Sano her throat "Before anyone goes off and has lunch I need someone to collect homework at the end of the day for Aerith and bring them over at her house, poor thing is still sick" the students blinked at her and started to whisper, Sarah and Ciccy were about to tell her that they were gonna do it when Aaron stood up "I'll do it" Mrs. Sano smiled "Do you know where she leaves?" Aaron frowned cursing himself mentally because he didn't 'shit… I don't know...' Jaiden sighs and closed his book "I'll do it, I'm over there a lot" Sarah frowned at him "do you think you have the right to do it after what you did to her" Ciccy sighed "Sarah…. Don't… Jaiden is Aerith's mother's godson so we have no right to tell him he can't be over there…" Sarah bite her lip as the students whispered among themselves. "I care little of your opinion or thoughts of me. It is just the better route that I take it since I'm over there more than anyone of you…" Jaiden says opening his book back up.
Mrs. Sano slammed her hand on the table "Alright, Jaiden you can do it enough fighting over something stupid now go on eat up your lunch."
Sarah grabbed her lunch and stormed out of the room. Ciccy frowned and looked to Jaiden bowed softly to him "I'm so sorry.. Sarah cared for Aerith and is just trying look after her" she grabbed her lunch and went off after Sarah. Jaiden had not heard a word she said. He was back to reading his book.
Aaron was glaring at him from the other side of the room until his friends pulled him out of the room "Come on man lets go to the roof and eat" Aaron sighs and follows them.
Rei smiled softly as she placed a bento box in front of Jaiden. "I know it wont be good as hers but I don't want you to go hungry." Jaiden looked at the bento box and opened. It was her rice balls, rice, and veggies. He grabbed a rice ball and started to eat. Rei smile brightens as she gets a chair and sits it in front of his desk. "Do you mind if I eat with you?" "Do what you want." Jaiden says. Rei nodded as she takes her own lunch out.
At the end of the day, at Jess's house, Jess was in the kitchen string the hot homemade chicken noodle soup. Jess smiled "smelling good" she stopped stirring the soup and walked to the fridge opening it, she frowned "No orange…. Great…" then she smiled as she notices fresh oranges in a bag. She took them out of the fridge and placed them on the counter. She reached up and opened the cabinet and took out a glass. She placed the glass on the counter and opened the bag of oranges. She took one and held up and let go as it floated in the air, she snapped her finger and the orange moved over the glass and magical peeled itself and then the juice of the orange was magical squeezed out of it, jess smiled "prefect!" throwing away the used orange she turned back to the soup string it and turned off the stove she started on making Aerith tray of food when the doorbell rang. She blinked and finished up quickly and walked to the front door, she opened the front door to see Jaiden standing there. She smiled "Jaiden, come on in"
Jaiden walks in. "so what brings you here?" Jess smiled closing the door. "Just bringing Aerith her work." Jess chuckled softly "how sweet of you, oh! Can you bring up a tray of chicken noodle soup and class of orange juice to Aerith's room?" Jaiden sighs. "Fine." Jess smiled at him and walked to the kitchen, Jaiden followed her as she picked up the tray and placing it in his hands "Go on dear"
Walking up the stairs with the tray, Jaiden turned to the wall and walked to Aerith's room. Knocking, he opened to the door and stepped in to see Aerith on her big purple bean bag chair with a gray fluffy blanket over her and book on her, she was asleep.
"Typical." He says. He placed the food on the coffee table and looked at her more, the book on her chest was a The Land of Stories: An Author's Odyssey. It was a new book of the series, something Aerith was into reading. He looked at the end of her room to see her own book case with tones of books she likes to read, goosebumps, harry potter to even Steven king books and ect.
He shakes his head, hearing a hum he looked back down at Aerith as she yawned softly and fluttered her eyes open to see Jaiden standing above her, she gave him a sweet smile "Jay… what you doing here?" "I'm here to give you your work and ended being asked to bring you your food…" He says. Aerith smiles "Thank you" she sat up holding her book and placing the book mark in to closing it. "How's the book?" Jaiden asked her, she blinked and smiled "very good you should try reading the series its really good"
"…I suppose…" Aerith pointed the book shelve "the first book on there somewhere"
Jaiden glances at the bookshelf. Aerith stood up and stretched slightly "so how's school? I get texts from Sarah and Ciccy saying they miss me" she chuckled and walked over to the tray and smiled picking up the orange juice taking a sip "Mhmm moms homemade squeezed orange juice!"
"It's the same as always. Now that I have given you your homework I'm leaving. I have to go to the library." Aerith nodded "Alright"
Jaiden walks to the door before he stops and remembers something. "Ah…since I'm here already." He turns around to her. "I apologize." Aerith blinked "what…?" "I was explained to that my words to you were harsh. While I didn't think they were since I was simply stating the truth I guess I misjudged somethings." Aerith frowned and looked down "I see…" "While I do not accept your feelings of love you claim to have for me I do ask if you can wait." Aerith looked up at him with a flush "wait for you…?"
"The meaning of love cannot be explaining so simply by just confessing. It has to be something more as I explained that day. I do not have any romantic feelings for you and even though it would be unfair to you…if you just give me some time I'm sure I can figure something out. Maybe inside myself I guess. Then when I figure it out I'll answer you properly next time." Aerith nodded with a flush "Alright…"
"Get some rest. I have things to attend to." Jaiden says walking out the door.
Time went by, it was week before Halloween. At the school the students chatter among themselves as the teacher was being late for class. Aerith sat at her desk trying to study for upcoming test. Sarah and Ciccy stepped to her desk "Aerith, what you are doing for Halloween?" Aerith hummed "What I do every month with my family, me and mom gather on the roof top and jump down on our brooms for the kids every year" Ciccy giggles "I think it's so cool that you're a real witch!" Sarah chuckled "I wish I can join you and your mom" Aerith smiled softly "Yeah I know"
Jaiden was reading as usual, ignoring all the conversations within the class room, when he felt a slight burn around his chest near his birthmark. Lately it had been burning a bit sometimes around Jenna and sometimes around hollows. He wasn't sure if it was some kind of warning but, he chooses to ignore it. It usually goes away after a few seconds or so. He taps his chest twice letting out a slightly sigh and went back to reading. Mrs. Sano walked in "alright everyone hush up and lets began" students were shutting their mouths and sitting down, Jaiden still in his book Mrs. Sano sighed "Jaiden! Face out of the book and pay attention" some students giggled at him, Aerith shook her head with a smiled. Jaiden signs and closes his book. He turns his head and looks out the window.
Lunch break came around, Aerith smiled and turned to Jaiden with Jaiden's lunch bento box "Jay you wanna have lunch with me?"
"…Sure." Aerith smiled brightly and turned her chair to his desk and gently placed the bento box in front of him. Jaiden opens the box and starts eating. Rei was digging in her bag. She smiled as she pulled out a small box of meat buns with cute bats decorated on them. "Here Jaiden, you said you wanted some of these?" She placed them on his desk. Jaiden stops eating Aerith lunch and picks one of the buns up. He looks at the bats and bites into it. "…Its moist…good." Rei smiles. "Thank you. Please enjoy them." She grabs her own lunch box and goes to her friends who was waiting for her. They giggled at her blushing face before walking off. Aerith frowned mentally at Rei and looks at Jaiden "can you be anymore oblivious?"
"I can actually but, it becomes much to bothersome." "Rei is so crushing on you…" she frowned and takes a bite of her breaded shrimp. "And? It's not like she's the only one." Jaiden says flipping his page to his book.
Sarah and Ciccy walked over to them "Aerith you coming?" Sarah asked her, Aerith shook her head "Nah I'm gonna have lunch with Jaiden" Sarah frowned at her, Ciccy smiled "alright see you after lunch" she dragged Sarah with her.
Aaron walked over "Hey Aerith" Aerith looked up at him and smiled "hey Aaron" Aaron blushed down at her "So you doing anything after school?" Aerith blinked "Well I don't work tonight so no I don't" Aaron chuckled "Would you like to go out to the arcade after school?"
Aerith hummed slightly "mhmm I guess I have nothing else to do" Aaron smiled "Good!" he walked away waving "see you after school" Aerith smiled and waved back to him. Jaiden kept reading his book as he ate another meat bun.
After lunch, Aerith and Jaiden's class were heading the new cooking classroom that was remolded. Reaching the room, Aerith ahead everyone opened the door and stepped in, she smiled to see the new cooking room. The first part of the room was large area that a dry erase board, desks for the students and a front desk for the teacher, the second area was blocked off by a large sliding door. In just seconds the students all walked in before behind Aerith, they started to whispered loudly about the new room. Sarah smiled and looked around "This place is cool" Ciccy nodded "yeah very kool" Aerith nodded and took her seat up in front. Sarah and Ciccy sat beside as the students began to set down and walk in the room gasping from the new room.
Aerith looked to see Jaiden and Rei walk in together making Aerith frown mental. "Jaiden did you finish reading this volume." Jaiden nodded. Rei smiled. "Did you like it?" "It was okay." He says as they sat beside each other. "Look at him, all close to her I bet you that's why Jaiden said no Aerith because he already is with Rei" A girl whispered from behind Aerith and the girls. Aerith looked down, Sarah and Ciccy could tell she was trying not to cry or even frown. Sarah rubbed her back as another girl responded to the other "Yeah, I mean those two have nothing in common. Rei and Jaiden have everything in common, who would wanna be with a girl that is an air head" Sarah bite her lip and turned her back with a glare making the girls jump and blink at her "Would you shut your mouths" Sarah hissed at them, this made the students look over and whispers of the scene before them. The girls frowned at Sarah "What did you say?" Sarah stood up making them gulp "Calling Aerith an air head, just remember who as the best marks in this class!" the girls looked at each other and then laughed with a smirk "Please Jaiden as the best marks" Sarah was about to say something when Jaiden sighs. "What an idiotic conversation you two are having." They looked his way. "Regardless of who has the highest grades you both make pointless and bothersome remarks." A girl frowned. "But Jaiden we are just trying to…." "If you don't have anything intelligent to say then I suggest you keep silent. Simple no? You are disturbing me from reading." He says. "Then at least say if you and Rei are dating so Aerith over here will know she will never have a chance just like the rest of us!" Aerith was frowning now, Sarah was staring at Jaiden for his answer. Aaron not far was glancing over watching and waiting.
Rei frowned and closed her book. "Me and Jaiden are just good friends nothing more. It's true that I like him but, he has already told me ahead of time that he isn't looking for a girlfriend. Now, since that is settled can you please stop this pointless argument? As for your comment about Aerith, she's a lot smarter then you lot. If anything, she and Jaiden both are the top students within this class. So, before you try to bring someone down you should check your facts." The girl's eyes were widened at Rei's words as they took their seats. Aerith's eyes widen and looked at her 'she… stuck up for me…' she smiled softly at her "Thank you"
Rei sighs and opens her book. She then notices that Jaiden was looking at her. "I-Is something the matter?" She says a bit shyly. "…you spoke to much…" Rei looks down. "S-Sorry…" Jaiden looked back at his book. "It's fine. I didn't mind it as much." Rei's heart skipped a beat unsure if Jaiden was trying to compliment her or not.
"How can she not say they aren't together…look at them…they are perfect together…" A student whispered. "Sssh…just leave it alone. I don't want to disturb Jaiden reading. He looks so cute when he's deep in his story." A girl says giggling. The girls sighed lovely at Jaiden as he read his book. The door opened and they all looked, Aerith smiled "Mama…"
Jess smiled as she was wearing black slim dress with a Purple Thin Blazer over it and black heels, the boys in the classroom were blushing at her "Hello everyone" some girls were frowning glaring at her slightly "Now if your all wondering" she walked to the board "I'm Aerith's mother, since you original cooking teacher quit I asked to step in for the teacher which I do not mind" she chuckled. Aerith was smiling at her "Wow a shocker" Aerith whispered. Sarah and Ciccy nodded "yeah"
Rei taps Jaiden on the shoulder. "Jaiden the teacher is here. You should put your book away from now." Jaiden sighs as he closes his book. Rei smiles as she puts her book away to. Jess picks up the maker and wrote on the side 'Ms. Mikcloud' then in the middle of the board she wrote 1 through 10 down a line "alright can anyone tell me 10 rules of the kitchen?" some students groaned from her question, Aerith raised her hand, Jess smiles "Aerith" Aerith giggles "Never cook in loose clothes and keep long hair tied back. You don't want anything accidentally catching fire, not to mention hair ending up in the food." Jess smiled "Very good" she wrote it down for number one. Jess looked back "can one else to me one?" Jaiden held his hand up slightly "Never cook while wearing dangling jewelry. A bracelet can get tangled around pot handles." Jess chuckled and wrote it down for number one "Very good" Rei had her notebook writing the rules down along with other students. 5 minutes rolled by and all the answers were written down.
1. Never cook in loose clothes and keep long hair tied back.
2. Never cook while wearing dangling jewelry.
3. Keep potholders nearby and use them! Be careful not to leave them near an open flame.
4. Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove so you can't bump into them if they're out of the way.
5. Don't let temperature-sensitive foods sit out in the kitchen. Raw meat, fish, and certain dairy products can spoil quickly, so refrigerate or freeze them right away.
6. Wipe up spills immediately. Keep the floor dry so that no one slips and falls.
7. Separate raw meat and poultry from other items whenever you use or store them. This precaution avoids cross-contamination of harmful bacteria from one food to another.
8. Wash your hands before handling food and after handling meat or poultry. Hands can be a virtual freight train of bacteria.
9. Get a fire extinguisher for your kitchen.
10. Always have a clean station.
Jess puts down her marker and walks over to the corner of the room picks up a box that was heavy but not for her she placed it on her desk "Now, you can come up here and get your cooking books for this class, and some papers for measuring and yes the rules of the kitchen" the students all got up and got their books and papers and went back tot here seats "Tomorrow we will start off with the basic stuff first, so them I want you" she takes a stack of paper and walks to the first row "to do this tonight, is it a basic recipe, cheese and mushroom omelet" she starts passing them out. "Then I want you to pack it in a container and bring it to school, I will judge which one is the best one"
Aerith right away raised her hand "can we had spices?" student's eyes widen and muttered to themselves, Jess chuckled "stick to the recipe" Aerith pouted making Sarah and Ciccy chuckle at her.
At the end of the school day, Aerith was packing her bag as Aaron came up to her "Ready to go?" Aerith smiled and nodded "Sure" Sarah and Ciccy appeared making Aaron frown slightly "What are you two doing?" Sarah crossed her arms "we are coming with you two" Aerith sighed "Really? Why?" Ciccy pouted slightly "she wants to make sure Aaron keeps his hands to himself" Aaron flushed right away, Aerith flushed also but laughed "Please stop joking around, let's go" she walked away. Ciccy followed her and Sarah was standing there staring at Aaron "just because Jaiden turned her down doesn't mean you can swoop in to take her for yourself" Aaron glared almost "and what's wrong with that?" Sarah sighed "I'm gonna hate myself for saying this but her heart will forever be Jaiden's" Sarah then turned around walked away following after Ciccy and Aerith. Aaron frowned deeply looking at Jaiden as he was packing up his bag. He bites his lip and walked passed him "Aerith will be mine, I will make her forget ever falling for a guy that doesn't care for her" he said to Jaiden leaving the room.
Jaiden, not even acknowledging Aaron's words, grabbed his bag. Rei frowned and tapped him. "Jaiden aren't you worried about what Aaron just said?" Jaiden looked at her. "Who?" Rei looked at him and then laughed a bit. "I see. Never mind then. Shall we go?" She and Jaiden walked out the room.
Not long, Aerith and the others were at the arcade. Aerith and Aaron were at Zombie shooting game, they were firing at the zombies on the screen "Die Zombies!" she aimed at the screen where the zombie was and started to shoot. Aron laughed and started to shoot with her at the screen. Sarah was frowning at them and glaring at Aaron, Ciccy shook her head "Sarah, stop glaring" Sarah pouted "I just don't know if this is a good idea… what if Jaiden never loves her back…?" Ciccy sighed "one day he will" they turned there heads to laughing as Aerith and Aaron laughed, Aerith was jumping slightly "Yeah! Victory!" Aaron chuckled and looked at her with a flush on his face 'god she is so cute' "Aerith lets go to the claw machine, I'll get you a stuff animal" Aerith turned her head to him and smiled brightly "sure!" Aaron grabbed her hand making her flush and he pulled her along. Sarah frowned and was about to follow them but Ciccy grabbed her arm "Sarah stop let them bond" Sarah's eyes widen "Why?" Ciccy shook her head "just let Aerith be" Sarah frowned and looked down biting her lip "Fine"
Aerith was hugging her Sailor Moon Luna head pillow to her chest with a happy smile on her face, Aaron walked beside her smiling at her. He was walking her home, Sarah and Ciccy had already left them alone and gone their separate ways. Aaron chuckled at Aerith "I take it you like the pillow I got you" Aerith flush and smiled "yeah I love it, I'm a huge sailor moon fan" Aaron chuckled at her cuteness. Reaching the house, they turned to the house and walked to the door, reaching it Aerith stopped and smiled at Aaron "Well thank you for a good time Aaron, I needed it" Aaron smiled at her "Yeah after that jerk Jaiden hurt you, you needed it" Aerith frowned at him "Please don't call him that… it doesn't help it sometimes…" Aaron frowned "I'm sorry… Aerith.." he gently took her hand making her eyes widen and her face turned red like her hair "W-What a-are y-you doing…?" "Aerith… I like you…" he looked into her eyes, making her eyes more widen, her heart started to race. He took a step to her making her back up into the wall next to the door, he leaned in ready to kiss her as the front door opened fast making Aaron gasp and look to see Byakuya, his eyes narrowed at Aaron. Aerith gulped "Hey dad" Byakuya never took his eyes off Aaron "Aerith inside know, dinner is done" Aerith nodded, she looked at Aaron "see you later thank you… for today" she quickly rushed inside. Aaron looked at Byakuya who narrowed more making Aaron shake slightly, Byakuya closed the door in Aarons face.
At Kisuke's Jenna and the others were down in his basement training area. Jenna was sitting a bit farther than the others as they watched Ichigo and Grimmjow stand in front of the children. Jaiden, Iris, and Cody had their eyes closed, concentrating. Jenna signs. She still didn't approve of this but, Ichigo talked her back into letting Jaiden and Iris experience their powers.
Kisuke walked up wearing a glove. "Okay little titans. Let's see if you can separate your soul from your body on your own."
Cody was first. He took a deep breath. They watched as his spiritual pressure rises a bit. In a switch movement Cody's soul form separated from his body. His actual body falls to the ground but was caught by Kisuke. Cody was wearing a white open jacket that flowed down to his legs and a white hakama with a black slash. He had arm sleeves on both arms. Around his eyes were light green lines similar to how Grimmjow's were in his form. His spiritual pressure quickly rose. He grips his fist and takes a huge deep breath and lets out a roar causing a shock wave.
Orihime quickly placed a barrier around her and Jenna to protect them from the debris. "I swear, he's just like his father in every way." Jenna says. Orihime smiled. "Yup, right down to the T." When the smoke was clear Cody was smiling. He stretches out. "Man, that felt so good!" "Cody!" Cody looks over to see Iris coughing. "Gah! Iris I'm sorry are you okay?" "Releasing your energy so close to us. How much more of an idiot can you be?" Jaiden says waving smoke out of his face. "Hey, I said I was sorry. I couldn't help it. I felt pent up."
Grimmjow and Ichigo had jumped away from the debris. "Haha, I bet my kid can kick your kids ass now." Ichigo rolled his eyes. "If Cody can't win against Jaiden in his regular form what makes you think he can do it now?" "He'll win." "Wanna bet?" "The usual?" "Hell yeah. Winner buys the drinks for the next three months. Jenna likes wine so make sure you get the sweet kind." Ichigo says chuckling.
Cody was standing to the side now waiting. It was Iris turn but no matter how much she tried to couldn't do what Cody did. She looked down sadly. "I can't do it again…maybe I'm not special to." She tears up. Ichigo smiles. "It's okay Iris." "It's not papa! I want to be strong to!" Kisuke walked up to her. "That's not what he meant Iris." She looked up at him. "He meant this time we are ready." Kisuke reached down with the globe and poked Iris in the forehead. The next thing she knew she was looking at Kisuke holding her body.
Her eyes widen as she looked at herself. She was wearing a black fitted, sleeveless, shirt with a black hakama. She smiled. "I'm a soul reaper! Daddy look! Look!" Ichigo laughed. "Yes, I see that. How do you feel?" "I feel super super light!" She jumps up way high into the sky making their eyes wide. Jenna stood up. "Iris sweetie please be careful!" She called out. Iris saw her mother and disappeared. She suddenly tackled Jenna into a hug. "Mommy! Look I'm like daddy!" Jenna smiled. "Yes, you look so cute!" Iris smiled happily. "Yay!"
Ichigo chuckled and then their attention turned to Jaiden. "Alright Jaiden. Just like we practice." Ichigo says. Jaiden nodded but he quickly separated from his body without a second thought. "Well damn…" Grimmjow says with his hands in his pockets. Jaiden looked down at himself. He was wearing a white hakama with long flowing jacket. He opened the jacket to see a white shirt tucked in with a black slash around his waist. He had on black boots that went up just under his knees. "How do you feel?" Ichigo asked. Jaiden looked at him. "Light headed…" Jaiden rubbed his chest. Ichigo walked up to him. "Is your birth mark burning again?" Jaiden nodded. "What about your dreams?" Jaiden shook his head. "No dreams. Just this burning feeling but…" He pauses. "It's gone now. It goes away after a second or to. I'm fine now father. Can we start practice." Ichigo sighs and then smiles. He pats Jaiden on the head. "Alright. Let's get this started." He took out his combat pass and steps out his body. Grimmjow was already out of his giga. "I don't plan on going easy on ya Cody." Grimmjow says rotating his arms. Cody got ready. "I can take it!" He says. Iris ran back to Ichigo and Jaiden but was stopped by Kisuke. "It's going to get intense over there so I'll be the one to help you. I'll make sure you get strong enough to protect your brother and Cody." Iris smiled. "Okay! Thank you! I'll do my best." Kisuke chuckled and rubbed her head.
A day before Halloween, it was 6pm, Aerith was up in her room reading from a new spell book her mother gave her. Byakuya was still at work. Jess was in the kitchen cutting up the carrots into flowers for the Sukiyaki. She smiled 'I can't wait!' Jenna, Ichigo and their kids are coming over dinner "Hehe it's been ages since they come over dinner!" the doorbell rang making her giggle like a little kid and put down the knife down whipped her hand and walked over to the front door, reaching it she opened it she smiled brightly "Hey everyone come on in, make sure to take off your shoes"
"Yeah, yeah. We know." Ichigo says. Jess stepped back leading them in, the first thing they noticed was the dining room table and chairs were gone and a cute round kotatsu table with round futon and cushion round it. The blanket under the table was a soft tab color.
"That looks nice." Jenna says. Jess chuckled "yeah, it's getting cold outside and a Kotatsu is perfect" she walked around the table to cut the carrots "Jenna why don't you help me finish up cutting the carrots and the tofu"
Iris runs over to it. "Come on daddy! Come sit with me!" Ichigo shakes his head and walks over with her. "Oh Jaiden, Aerith is up in her room why don't you go up there and hang out with her" Jess smiled has she cut some carrots into flowers.
"I don't feel like it…can't I just read?" Jaiden says sighing. Jenna pinches his cheek. "Don't be like that. Go on now." Jaiden sighs again and walked upstairs.
Reaching Aerith's room, he sighed and knocked on the door, he heard her voice "come in" Jaiden opened her door stepping in. the curtains were closed and Aerith was sitting on her bed looking at a book, she lifted her head as Jaiden closed her door. she smiled sweetly at him "Jay, come here" she tapped next to her.
Jaiden shook his head slightly but walked over. Aerith smiled as he crawled over by her and sat down next to her. Aerith smiled "a new spell book, you wanna see something cool?"
"Depends…your cool and my cool are two different things…" Jaiden says. Aerith snapped her fingers and the lights turned off and places her hand up to the ceiling, her hands glowed slightly a purple color, Jaiden watched and looked up as the ceiling turned into mini green galaxy.
"…when does the cool part happen…" Jaiden says leaning on his elbow. Aerith giggles softly and sat up pulling Jaiden up "hold on"
Jaiden waits. Aerith using magic she jumped up pulling Jaiden with to the ceiling making his eyes widen has they went through the ceiling. Jaiden blinked around as they floated in the galaxy, Aerith smiled still holding onto his hand "so what do you think? This is Universe magic, very high magic. I bet if Iris saw this she would flip" "Magic is Magic. So show Iris next time instead of me…" Jaiden says.
Downstairs, Iris and Ichigo were sitting under the Kotatsu, on the TV a Halloween special was showing, nightmare before Christmas.
Iris was on her phone texting her friends. Ichigo yawned as he watched the show. Jess came over with some drinks "here you go Ichigo grab the drink kosher's to your right make sure you have your glasses on top of it" Iris looked at the drink and she smiled brightly, it was Jess's famous galaxy like slushy lemonade.
"Do you have to tell me the obvious." Ichigo says. Iris takes a sip. "Yummy." Jess smiled "I'm glad you like it Iris, after dinner is my rainbow cheese cake" "Okay!" Iris says. Jess walked back to the kitchen to help Jenna. The sliding door opened making Ichigo and Iris look to see a black cat with purple eyes walk in. Ichigo sighed "Hello Sabrina" Sabrina looked at him "Ichigo" with a poof she turned into her human forum "My lady I'm here" Jess in the kitchen sighed "Sabrina did you bring the potion for Iris so she doesn't have allergic reaction to you" Sabrina nodded as she took out a bottle that was glowing orange like Ichigo's hair. Sabrina smiled "Drink this" she handed it to iris "it won't taste nasty, it will taste like orange soda"
Ichigo frowned and covered Iris excited eyes. "No, You know how I feel about you two giving my kids your weird potions and stuff. Just stay in your human form or something. Problem solved." Jess sighed "Ichigo, if it was Jenna it would be a different story, it will help her allergies it's the same stuff Aerith uses for her onion allgery"
Iris moved Ichigo's hand. "Can I try some daddy?" "No…" "Please?" "No." "Pleassseeeeeee!?" She looks up at him with what Ichigo calls the 'Jenna' stare. A stare that Jaiden, Iris do to get him to plead out. Their eyes always looked exactly like Jenna's when she was sad. "Ughhh…fine." Iris smiled. "Thanks daddy!" She takes the potion from Sabrina. "I hate orange soda by the way but I wanna try it out. I hope I get some cool side effects if it doesn't work like cat ears or a tail or…some scary like…" "Please…just drink it. Your making me nervous." Ichigo says face palming himself. Iris giggled and gulps it down. Jess was laughing "next time I change it to any flavor you want"
The front door opened and Jess knew who it was. She smiled "Byakuya welcome home" they looked to see him walk in with a tired look on his face, he stepped to jess kissing her forehead making her giggle "How was work?"
"Same as always." He stepped over to Ichigo and Iris and sat down at the table "Where's Aerith?" "Upstairs with Jaiden" Byakuya frowned and stood up and just walked to the stairs, jess sighed "Byakuya don't let them be" he didn't listen and walked up those steps. Jess sighs "I'm sorry about him…" "Don't know why your apologizing. Not like we didn't see this coming." Ichigo says looking at the TV.
Back up in Aerith's room, they floated in the green like galaxy, Jaiden looked around "Why green?" Aerith blinked and flushed "well… because of your green eyes…" "That makes no since at all. Your eyes are green to." He says.
Floating out of the ceiling they fell on the bed, Aerith leaned up and sighs "well then! I have a new mystery book and I've meaning to give it to you" he laid there looking up at the ceiling that still had the spell on it the galaxy was turning into different shades of blue he could feel some sort of sadness from it. He looked at Aerith as she sat up and was about to skip to the bookcase when her bedroom door burst open making her jump and looked to see Byakuya in the door way with a not happy look, Aerith frowned "Dad…?" Byakuya looked at Jaiden who was still laying down on Aerith's bed, he closed his eyes "downstairs now, both of you" he stepped away. Aerith sighs and looked at Jaiden "come on let's head down stairs"
"Go. I'll come in a bit." Jaiden says. Aerith nodded and walked out. Jaiden sat up and rubbed his chest where his birthmark was. It had been burning all day. It felt like something was bubbling in his chest and wanted to come out. He looked down at the necklace. He sometimes wondered if this was just a mere useless item. If he didn't have this one would the burning feeling go away? He sighs to himself. Then again if it gets removed the nightmares will come back. He rubbed his head. The nightmares of those yellow eyes. He closed his eyes 'Yellow eyes…'
Suddenly he felt something grab his face and pull it up. His eyes widen at a dark figure standing in front of him but he couldn't scene anything from it. Those same yellow eyes he had dreamed about were now looking right at him. "It's almost time to meet Jaiden."
"Jaiden!" Jaiden opened his eyes to see Iris standing in front of him. She was pouting. "Iris?" "How rude! You can't send someone else out their own room you meanie head! I don't know how Aerith put up with you! Come on it's time to eat!" She says grabbing his arm. "Come on! I'm hungry!" Jaiden got up. His eyes looked around the room. He rubbed his head. 'Was that all in my head or…' He turned slightly to the window to see his eyes turned yellow ever so slightly before turning back green. He sighs and turns away as Iris drags him downstairs going on how rude he's being.
All downstairs, they sat around the table. Jenna sitting next to Ichigo, Byakuya was sitting in between Aerith and Jaiden and Iris was sitting next to her brother. Aerith frowned mentally 'why is dad acting like this…?' Jess walked over to the table has Jenna placed a stove cloth on the table, Jess placed the hot pot on the table. The smell was so good it made Iris water from the mouth, Sabrina skipped over and sat next to the table "Lady Jess can I have some?" Jess chuckled "of course, well everyone dig in!" she sat down, Aerith smiled and grabbed her chop sticks and started to fill her bowl.
Everyone started to eat. Jess looked at Jaiden feeling something off she looked at Jenna "Jenna" she whispered.
Jenna looked over to her. "What is it Jess?" "I don't know but I sense something off about Jaiden, do you mind if I do a magic scan on him after dinner?" Jenna looked at Jaiden who was eating slowly. "Mmm I suppose so…he has been in a rare bad mood lately." Jess nodded "it could be him" Jenna looks at Jaiden and eyes his chest. She sighs mentally. 'Is he trying to tell me something again…maybe it's time I told Jaiden everything.' She says to herself.
Suddenly the doorbell rang making them blink, Jess sighs "let me go see who it is" she got up and walked away. Aerith took a bite of her food and smiled "so yummy, these little cut carrots like flowers are so cute! Sometimes mom cuts them into stars"
Jess walked back over "Aerith you have a visitor" Aerith blinked and looked to see Aaron "Aaron what you doing here…?" Aaron smiled and then noticed Jaiden "Jaiden why are you here?" "Why do you ask such stupid questions…" Jaiden says. Jenna frowned. "Jaiden stop that."
"Aaron why are you here?" Aerith asked again, Aaron smiled at her "I came to see you of course" Jess's eyes widen and could feel Byakuya's upset aura. Aerith flushed "Oh uhm… I'm having dinner with my family and godmother's family" Aaron looked at the table more "Oh I'm sorry… I didn't mean to interrupted" Jess chuckled "don't worry Aaron"
Byakuya took a bite of his food "why don't you come back tomorrow? She will be free by then" Aerith frowned looking at her father, Aaron nodded and bowed slightly "Of course sir" he leaned up "see you tomorrow Aerith" Aerith's eyes widen and flushed "O-of course…" Aaron smiled at her and Jess walked him out. Iris giggled "Oooo he's pretty good looking, Aerith do you like him?!" Aerith's face turned red "No! I mean he took me on a nice date but that was it…" Byakuya huffed "More like he was about to kiss you when he brought you home" Jenna and Iris gasped, Aerith's face turned red "Dad!"
Ichigo shakes his head as he ate. Jenna smiles then. "Well I don't think any harm could have been if he joined us. Jaiden's friend joins us for dinner a lot." Iris smiles. "Yeah! The pretty girl Rei! You like her right big brother?" Jaiden looks over at her then looks back at his food. "She's okay." Iris smiles. "That means you do! Yay!" Aerith frowned and looked down at her food 'I guess there is something between them…' Jess frowned to see her daughter get sadden by this.
"Iris calm down a bit okay." Jenna says. Iris laughed. "Sorry mama but your happy to right! Rei is super pretty and she gave me a book that shows me change my hair color!" Ichigo frowned. "You are not changing your hair color." Iris pouted. "But I want it blue like Cody's!" "I said no and that's final." Ichigo says. Iris pouts more. "Brother don't you think…" "To ask me such a question…Mother I think Iris has been infected with Cody's stupidity…" Jaiden says. Iris frowned. "Cody is not stupid! Mom!" Jenna laughs. "Okay that's enough. Let's enjoy dinner okay. Jaiden say sorry to your sister." Jaiden says. "Sorry that you caught Cody's stupidity…" Iris puffed her cheeks out then sighs. That was the best apology she was going to get when Cody pops up in the subject.
After dinner Aerith was up in her room with Iris, Aerith wanted to show her ceiling. Iris's eyes sparkled looking up at it. "So cool!" Aerith chuckled and held her hand "hang on" she blinked in confusion has Aerith jumped up with her magic and they entered her ceiling floating in the galaxy. "Wooow!" Iris says looking everywhere. Aerith smiled and frowned slightly, her mind was going back to Jaiden and Rei 'Jay….'
Downstairs, Jaiden was sitting on a chair has Jess was doing a magic scan on him. Jenna, Ichigo and Byakuya watched her as jess canned him, Jaiden had an annoyed look on his face. "It's almost done sweetie." Jenna says.
Finishing scanning him she sighs "I didn't find anything; Jaiden I can sense something off. So tell me what you have been feeling and seeing?" "Nothing." "Are you sure?" Jenna asked. "Yes mother. Why must we go through this every time?" Jenna rubbed his head. "We just want to make sure you're okay. That's all." "I'm fine. I just want to go home…and read." "So, no nightmares?" "No nightmares. The necklace works just fine." Jaiden says. Jess looked at him and quickly gripped his chin, her eyes were looking deeply with in his "Jaiden you know I hate being lied to, be honest with me and your mother" "It's nothing." Jaiden says flatly.
Jess sighs and let go of his chin and smiled at Jenna "Why don't I cut a piece of the cheese cake for you all to take home" she walked to the kitchen. Iris skipped down the stairs and ran over to the table "Mom dad! You won't believe what Aerith showed me with her magic!" "Joy…" Ichigo says getting up.
Jess chuckled "so Iris what you going as for Halloween? You gonna be stopping by at midnight for me and Aerith when we jump off the roof for the little kids?"
"I'm not dressing up this year. Me and Cody are gonna have a scary movie night! Were gonna stay up and watch old creepy movies and then newer scary movies!" Iris says laughing. "Where is Aerith? Still upstairs?" Jess asked, Iris nodded "yeah she was sort of crying a little… she won't talk about it…" Jess frowned and looked up stairs then sighed and packed up the cheesecake, Iris got a look of it and her eyes widen in sparkles "So Pretty!" Jess smiled "Thank you" "aunty you make the cutest treats! Are you making homemade Halloween candy?" Jess smiled "I already did, ready for trick or treaters"
Jaiden and Ichigo was already by the door putting their shoes on. "Thanks for Dinner. It was really nice." Jenna says smiling. "Yeah, we need to it a bit often." Jess says handing her the cheese cake. Jenna nodded. "Come on Iris. Time to go." Iris nodded and skipped after Jenna. Jess chuckled and Aerith came downstairs "Jay?"
Jaiden turns around. Aerith had runny eyeliner down her face, she was crying, she smiled "Here's the book I was gonna give you" she handed him it, it was a hardcover book. It was blue and the title was The wicked boy: the mysterious murder of a Victorian child' "It's a really good book, based on a true event"
"Thanks…" Jaiden says. Aerith smiled and ran upstairs, Jess sighs "Looks like she still loves you Jaiden and hearing about this Rei girl got her upset."
"I don't see why. How many more times must I explain that I don't see Rei in that way. I don't think I can explain it in anymore further detail then I already have." Jaiden says. Jess shook her head "So dense, she's jealous of her, you're don't treat her like the way you treat Rei so yeah of course she is, well go on. See you all tomorrow I hope."
Jaiden left out with Ichigo and the others. On the walk home Ichigo looked down at Jaiden. "Jaiden…are you sure you explain that you and Rei are just friends?" Jaiden looked up at Ichigo. "I did father. Rei herself even made it clear that we aren't like that. I don't know what else to say so I let it be." Ichigo looks forward. "Well I guess that's true. If you both made it clear it's not much you can do about it." Jenna rolled her eyes. "Men…" Iris giggled. "Let's go to the park!" She says. Jenna nods. "Yeah, a nice walk to the park would be nice." Iris walked up and bumped Jaiden shoulders. Ichigo and Jenna joined hands as they walked behind them. Jenna smiles at Iris and Jaiden. "Hey Ichi…" "Hum?" "Ever thought about having another baby with me?" Jenna says smiling sweetly. Ichigo blushed. "I think we have our hands full but…having another you running around might not be so bad…" Jenna leans on him. "Let's see what happens?" "Yeah, let's see what happens." Ichigo says chuckling.
The next day, Halloween it was 4pm. There was kids running around going to door to door trick or treating. Aerith smiled at her outfit, she was wearing a bat jacket with furry eared hood, black and white ombré shorts Gothic Black, White Spooky Bat tights and black Studs Embellished High-Heeled Ankle Boots. Black bat eye makeup and her upper lip was black, and her bottom lip had little bat bats. She smiled brightly and left her room with her phone walking downstairs. Jess in her black witch's dress wearing black flats was by the door handing out homemade wrapped up candy to some little kids "Here you go little ones" the kids smiled at her "thanks witch lady!" Jess chuckled "Make sure you come here again at midnight to see me and my daughter jump off the roof and fly!" the kids giggled and walked away. Jess closed the door has Aerith walked down the stairs, Jess smiled "Wow you pretty!" Aerith flushed "thanks mom" Byakuya walked over wearing his normal clothes "at least your not showing skin" Aerith pouted "Dad…" Jess sighed "Byakuya why aren't dressed up has Sinbad from magi…?" Byakuya gulped "Don't feel.." Jess stepped to him making him stopped "you promised, get dressed or not sex" Aerith's eyes widen "Okay! I'm leaving I'm heading off to meet up with Sarah and Ciccy" she quickly left.
At Jenna's she passed out some candy to the kids. "Thank you!" They said and ran off. Jenna smiles and closes the door. Ichigo was in the living watching TV. "Ichi. I thought you were meeting Keigo and the others?" Ichigo looked up at her. "Na, I feel lazy tonight." Jenna puts her hands on her hips. "Are you saying that because Cody is coming over?" Ichigo shook his head. "No course not…" Jenna smiled. "Cody is a good boy. He wouldn't try anything with Iris." Ichigo frowned. "He's Grimmjow's son. He will try it." "Don't forget he is Orihime's son as well he's to shy and flustered to hold Iris hand haha. It's so cute when he tries though." Ichigo chuckles. "Well that is true…where is Jaiden?" "Upstairs reading. He said he doesn't want to go out tonight. Like father like son I guess." The door bell rings. Jenna walks over and opens it to see two kids dressed as batman and robin. "Awwww! So cute!" She says giving them candy. "Thank you!" They says. "Come Robin! To the batmobile!" Jenna laughed as she watched them run off. "So cute! I think Jaiden's last costume was Batman to. How I miss those days." Oichi says closing the door.
Walking in the streets Aerith smiled, she couldn't wait to see Sarah and Ciccy. Walking she stopped to see her aunt Rukia and her cousin Coby. She smiled "Aunty Rukia!" she walked over to her.
"Ah. Hello Aerith." Aerith smiled "How are you aunty? Hey, Coby, you heading to aunty Jenna's? oh where's uncle Grim?" "Yeah and How the heck should I know." Coby says turning around to leave. Aerith smiled "Aunty do you know mom and dad made their wedding date in next spring?" Aerith frowned at her "you are coming right?" "Yes I did and Yes I am" Rukia says, Aerith nodded and walked away.
Hours went by, Aerith and her friends were walking back to her house. Sarah smiled snatching on chocolate "I love Halloween!" she was dressed up has a sexy nurse, Ciccy chuckled "Yeah" she was dressed up as an evil queen. Aerith smiled "it was fun, even more when we walked around a haunted old hospital" Ciccy frowned "that was scary! I mean that place was really haunted! If your mom found out she would yell at you!" Sarah nodded "yeah…. Plus if there was a hollow there we would have been in big trouble! Your magic has been acting weird lately…." Aerith frowned "I'm sorry but I know that…" Sarah and Ciccy nodded "yeah…" suddenly Ciccy's phone rang, they stopped walking they blinked at her. Ciccy answer's her phone "Hello oh hi mom… wait I was gonna go to Aerith's…" Aerith and Sarah frowned, Ciccy sighed "Very well ill come home…" she hanged up sighing "I have to go home…" Aerith frowned "alright…" Ciccy sniffed "I don't wanna go home alone… thought.." Sarah sighed "fine baby I'll walk you home, see you later Aerith" Aerith smiled "alright see you later" Ciccy and Sarah walked away. Aerith sighed and turned the way to her house.
At Jenna's, the doorbell rang. Jess smiled as Jenna opened the door "Happy Halloween! I have brought homemade candies" she held up a box, Byakuya was standing next to her wearing his outfit. Jenna smiled. "Thanks you didn't have to bring them all the way over here you know."
"Jenna you're missing the best part!" Ichigo yelled. "Yeah mama! Hurry! Hurry!" Jenna rolled her eyes. "As you can see we ended up joining Cody and Iris in their movie marathon." Jess smiled "Can we join?"
"Sure." Jenna says letting them in. Jess smiled and pulled in Byakuya "Thank you Jenna" they followed Jenna into the family room, Jess smiled "Hey everyone I brought homemade candy" Iris's eyes widen "Oooo aunty can I have some?" Jess smiled and opened the box tossing a small bag to her "Here you go" Jess sat down with as Byakuya sat down next to her "So what are we watching?" "Nightmare on elms street." Cody says eating popcorn. Jenna sat down beside Ichigo. "I don't see how you can't be so jumpy with these movies." Ichigo wrapped his arms around her. "Meh. I've seen worse." He says digging into his own bowl of popcorn.''
Outside, Aerith was just passing by Jaiden's house. Her eyes landed on Jaiden's room. The window was open and the light was on, she smiled softly 'most likely reading…' she chuckled to herself running her hand at on the fence then winces in pain. She frowned looking at her finger as some blood "ow.." she socked on her finger suddenly froze to feel such a dark force near her it made her freeze in her spot "blood…." It was a deep voice, her eyes widen and looked behind her to see a large hollow, it grinned "your blood, smells like a witch… witches' souls better than humans GIVE ME YOUR SOUL!" he shouted at her charging its arm at her, Aerith gasped and buckled out of the way and lifted her hand snapping her fingers but her magic never came making her gasp "My magic… Not again…" then her eyes widen as she felt something hit her pushing her to a wall. She looked down to see the tip of his tail into her side, blood was coming from her wound. The hollow charged his face at her with its mouth open "WITCHES SOUL!"
Jaiden was laying down trying to sleep He hoped that some fresh air would have work. He was breaking out in a cold sweat when he opened his eyes. He sighed and got up. He rubbed his head. It was hot. 'A fever maybe…' He was about to get up when he heard noise. "Can't have any silence around here when you need it." He looked out his opened window just in time to see Aerith be pin to the wall by a hollow. He sighs. "Good grief…"
He gets on top of his window and simply drops down right on the hollows head, smashing it into the ground. Aerith's eyes widen "Jaiden…"
"How can I get any sleep when your screaming at night. Get lost." Jaiden says before twilling his heel in the hollows head. He then kicked the hollow away, forcing it to release Aerith. Aerith's eyes widen and collapses to the ground holding her side "Jaiden… my magic I can't use it…"
"I know that obviously, or I wouldn't have come down here." Jaiden says. The hollow got up groaning "don't stand in my WAY! That witch is mine!" he screamed and charges at them.
"Your giving me a headache…before you attack someone maybe you should think of your location first." He held up a finger. He draws a symbol in the air. "Bakudo number 6 Geki…" A green and black light shot from his fingers and hit the hollow it paralyzed him just as the tail was about to reach Jaiden's face. "So troublesome." The hollow struggled until he saw something up in the air. It panicked as he saw Ichigo's sword come down slicing him in two. Byakuya also appeared near Aerith. Aerith started to breath slightly heavy "dad… my magic…" she didn't finish as she passed out, Byakuya frowned at his daughter
The hollow disappeared after being defeated by Ichigo. He turned around and pats Jaiden on the head. "Are you okay?" Jaiden nodded. Ichigo grabbed his hand. It was slightly burned. "I told you can't be using these attacks like that anymore." "I'm fine. It was a weak spell. Aerith is the one who needs attention." Byakuya was already picking Aerith up and taking her to the house. "She looks like she's covered. Let's have Iris heal your hand." Jaiden sighs as Ichigo drags him inside.
Byakuya taking Aerith in the house, Jess's eyes widen and rushed over to her "I know I felt a hollow… I should have killed it…" she frowned looking at Aerith's wound "she's not healing…" Byakuya said Jess's eyes widen and frowned. Jenna came over and her eyes widen "why isn't she healing?" Jess frowned more "ever since her magical cold her magic has been off… place her on the kitchen table" Byakuya nodded followed jess to the table placing Aerith on it.
Ichigo and Jaiden walked in. "Iris. Come heal your brother please." Iris nodded. Jess hovered her hand over Aerith's wound as a tiny magical circle appeared above it shining, they can see Aerith blood being soaked back into her own body and her wound closing slowly. Byakuya saw Jaiden walk over as Iris was messing with his hand "Jaiden"
Jaiden looked over to him. "you saved Aerith… thank you" Byakuya said with a thankful look on his face. Jenna's eyes widen "Did he just…" Jess smiled softly still castling the spell 'you big softy'
Iris had her hand over Jaiden's as she healed his hand. Cody watched. "What are you doing Iris?" "Using my spiritual energy to heal Jay's hand. Mister Kisuke taught me how to use the basic but he said he was going to have me learn under someone better. I don't have a lot of skills for fighting but at least I'm good at this. That way when you or Jay gets hurt I can at least help you instead of becoming a bother." Cody smiles. "That's pretty cool." Iris smiled. "Thank you annnd all done." Jaiden looks at his hand. "Thank you." Iris nodded.
Jaiden walked over to Jenna and hugged her. "Jaiden? You okay?" She rubbed his head. "Tired. Can I go back to bed?" "Sure dear. Go ahead I'll let you know how Aerith is doing." Jaiden nodded and heads upstairs. Jess smiled "So he is worried about her" she removed her hand as Aerith was fully healed.
Ichigo sighed. "I doubt it. He doesn't know it but he can be grumpy if he doesn't get his required hours of sleep. He just wanted to get his sleep." He says jumping back into his body.
Then something caught Jess's eye with in Aerith, she narrowed at it making Byakuya frown at her "Jess? What is it?" Jess bite her lip "My uncle that's what it is" she reached down and used magic to take out a crystal from within Aerith's chest. Has she did that a rushed of magical energy was swirling around Aerith making eyes widen, Jess sighed "I knew it, my uncle placed this within her to block her magic most likely after her magical core breaking causing her to get sick…" Jenna frowned "Why…?" Jess crushed the crystal with her fingers "Because he doesn't want another incident like when I was 15" Jess can tell Aerith's magic was know unblocked "He's a an idiot.. putting it in her without us knowing… she would have been killed…"
Jenna sighed and went upstairs to Jaiden's room. Aerith's eyes fluttered open "Mom…? Dad…?" Jess smiled "you awake, how are you feeling?" Aerith frowned "Heavy… what happen?" then her eyes widen and shot up "The hollow!" Jess placed her hand on Aerith shoulder "Calm down, Jaiden killed it…" Aerith smiled "he saved me…" then she frowned "My magic wasn't working again… I'm sorry mom.." Jess smiled at her "it's alright but you could have used your inhuman strength that you got from me" Aerith frowned "I couldn't either…"
Jess sighed "let's get you a glass of water and we can go home" Aerith nodded "I kind of feel tired… I guess we can't do that jump from the roof tonight.. wait what time is it?" Byakuya looked at a clock on the wall "11:45pm, your mother is still doing it"
Ichigo, Cody, and Iris were back on the couch waiting movies. "I wanted to kill the hollow." Cody says. "When you can beat Jaiden, you can take a hollow on yourself." Ichigo says. "That would take forever." Iris says laughing. Cody pouted a bit as they went back to watching the movie.
Aerith got off the table and then remembered something she forget to say to her mother "Oh mom happy birthday" Jess smiled "thank you sweetie" Byakuya crossed his arms "About time you said it to her" Aerith pouted "I'm sorry dad" then Iris gasped "Aunty its your birthday?!" Jess chuckled walking over to Aerith handing her a glass of water "Of course hun" Iris smiled "Happy birthday auntie! So how old are you?" Jess chuckled more "A witch never tells her real age Iris of I have something for you" she takes a small pocket book from her pocket, it was Blue Leather Handbound Journal Notebook "It's a book of spells that's for soul reapers."
Ichigo frowns at this. Aerith giggled "giving her that rare soul reaper healing spell book" Jess smiled giving it to Iris "You and Jaiden can learn from this book"
"Um, thanks auntie." Iris says looking though the book. I'll give this to Jaiden instead since he likes reading more than me. I'm more of a hands on learner haha." She says. "Byakuya take Aerith home" Aerith pouted, Byakuya nodded grabbing his daughter and they disappeared. Jess smiled as iris held the book to her chest, Ichigo was frowning at jess, Jess narrowed at him "keep staring at me like that and you will go blind for a month"
"Yeah yeah…" He says turning back to the TV. Jess smirked slightly "Ichigo you gotta stop acting like that, that's soul reaper spells meant for soul reapers. It would be good for Iris and Jaiden to learn some rare soul reaper healing spells" Jess turned "I'm gonna head upstairs" Ichigo rolled his eyes as Iris placed the book on the table. "Mr. Kisuke said he was gonna bring someone to train me so I really wanna learn some hands on stuff!" She says smiling. Ichigo smiles and rubs her head. It was nice to have at least one of his kids be more like him.
Jess reached Jaiden's room, she looked into his room as Jenna and Jaiden were talking.
Jaiden was laying down while Jenna rubbed his head. "I'm here if you need me okay…" Jenna says. Jess cleared her throat as they looked at her, Jess walked in "Aerith is fine, I told Byakuya to take her home" Jess then pouted "Jenna… did you forget to say something to me today…?"
"Forget…I don't think so?" Jenna says pulling the blanket over Jaiden who had fallen asleep. Jess sighs and poked Jenna's forehead "My birthday silly… really forgetting it…" Jenna rubbed her head. "Oh! Sorry about that. Happy Birthday Jess." She hugs Jess who hugs her back. Once Jess left out Jenna sat back on the bed and looked at Jaiden. His face looked like he was in pain. She rubbed his back. "I guess it's about that time huh…"
At midnight, Jess and Aerith both stood on top of their roof, the front yard and street was covered in little kids and their parents. Byakuya in the yard frowned looking up, he didn't want Aerith to but she wanted too. Aerith now wearing the same black dress has her mother bare they were both bare foot. Jess had in her hand a Witch's Broom in Shades of Green. Aerith had in her hand a Witch's Broom in shades of Purple. On the ground kids were clapping and shouting 'jump jump jump' Jess and Aerith smiled at each other "ready?" Aerith smiled "Yeah mom" they both but the broom's behind them and jumped off the roof making eyes widen and gasped filled the air as they floated down to the ground sitting on their brooms. Landing on the ground on their bare feet. The kids screamed with excitement, Jess and Aerith smiled at them has they lifted their hands up and snapped their fingers as fireworks went off in Halloween symbols making the kids scream even more.
