Okay, arigatou Wolfie-sama for the review. I am going to try to make this chapter much longer than the last(hopefully). Alright please enjoy chapter 2 of An Arrancar's Heart.
Leon woke up in a soft bed. The room was quite dark so he wasn't able to see anything. 'Where am I?' he thought. He sat up but regretted doing so. He felt a sharp pain in his sternum where he had been stabbed. Then, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder that pulled him back so that he would lay down again. Though the grip on him was quite gentle, it had enough strength to cancel any resistance that he tried putting up.
"You shouldn't get up" he heard Halibel's voice behind him "The poison that the Shinigami's sword had injected in you made you bleed profusely. I had managed to bring you to the infirmary with little time to spare." When she had said that, he felt very relieved. It wasn't because he was fine, more of he was glad that the poison had made him fall. He didn't want to be remembered as The Fragile Tercera Espada who fell to a weak shinigami who had easily cut him. He felt Halibel's hand leave his shoulder. Then the lights flicked on and blinded Leon. "I should let you get your rest" she said and left.
A few hours later, Leon jumped out of the bed and left the medical ward, feeling much better. He found his way back to his room and decided to read a book he had picked up in the human world. It was some strange book about a boy who'd lost his parents to an evil maniac. The maniac gave the boy a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. The boy gets invited to some faraway school because he happens to be a wizard. At that school, he learns to use magic and also makes some lifelong friends who help him get into a lot of mischief.
He finished chapter five of the book and realized he hadn't had anything to eat for a long time now. He heard his stomach growl madly and decided to get something to eat. He arrived at the cafeteria and saw a strange site. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques was sitting at a table and trying to chug as much water as possible, as if his guts were on fire. "Hey Grimmjow, what are you doing?" Leon couldn't help asking. Grimmjow stopped drinking water, looking satisfied. " I'll kill Nnoitra for that!" he threatened. "Why? Did he beat you in a fight?" Grimmjow now looked really ticked off. "No! He dared me to eat some food that would make a fireball freeze up." He pointed at the large, round pan that was somewhat large with crumbs on it. "So, why'd you eat it?" Leon was getting curious. "I didn't know it was that hot and Nnoitra said I was a wimp if I didn't." Grimmjow's expression was genuine. "Hey can I have some?" Leon really wanted some now. " You're kidding! Fine, call this number and ask for a deluxe. Also, keep a lot of water with you." Grimmjow indicated the table with 12 empty glasses of water scattered all over it. With that, Grimmjow left, cursing Nnoitra like he normally does.
Leon took out his cell phone(Yes, arrancar get cell phones too) and called the number Grimmjow had given him. After a few seconds a female answered. " Perfect pizza, how may I help you?" Leon guessed he was ordering a pizza. "Um, yes. I'd like a deluxe... pizza." He knew he sounded like an idiot. "Alright, taking some risks I see. Well just tell me your address and I'll be there in a sec." He knew this wasn't going well. "Oh, uh, well I am at the Los Noches cafeteria..." This wasn't going well for him. How was a human supposed to make it to Los Noches? "Oh, so you're an arrancar then!? Alright I'll be right there!" The line ended. This left Leon both surprised and utterly confused. Somehow, a human knew, not only about Los Noches, but knew how to get there.
Suddenly, a strange portal opened up next to him, causing him to jump. The portal was nothing like a Garganta. It was a strange, oval-shaped portal with a bluish-red outline. A person stepped out of it suddenly and caused him to fall over. "Are you alright?" said the girl. She was no older than a 16 year old human. She was also sporting a cap with furry ears like a wolf on her head. A closer look reveals the pupils of her eyes are much like a wolf.
"Uh, yeah I'm alright." Leon said, picking himself up. "Well, my name is Wolfie. Are you the one who ordered the deluxe?" "Yeah, that was me." Leon said while wondering who and what this girl is. "Okay, here you go. That'll be $15(US currency) please." She handed him the box and he handed her a 20 dollar bill. "Keep the change." He said, trying to be nice. "Thank you. You're much nicer than the person I delivered a deluxe to earlier!" Leon new she meant Grimmjow. "Hey, um, how did..."He was cut off. "How did I get here? Well, let's just say I have special powers." He decided to leave it at that.
He opened the square box and a wonderful aroma filled the air. Leon looked into the box and saw a round object inside it. Wolfie nodded her head which told him that this was a pizza. He took one of the eight slices and bit into it. "Well, how is it?" Wolfie asked.
When he gave no answer, she started to look sad. Suddenly, he started saying things so fast, that Wolfie could barely keep up. "Wow! This is the most amazing thing I've ever tasted! How is it possible to taste so good!? Was Grimmjow crazy? This is A-Maze-Ing!" When he'd finished the pizza after sharing with Wolfie, the both prepared to say bye. "Alright-then! I guess I should get going now." She then got a serious look on her face and looked him directly in the eyes. "If you need something, call this number. Okay?" Leon look back at her "Sure." was all he could think of. She handed him a piece of paper and then turned around. "Remember, should you require assistance..." She didn't finish. She opened up the strange portal again and left, leaving a bewildered Leon standing alone.
After the strange events of the evening, Aizen held a meeting with the arrancar. This one was different from other meetings that the Espada(except Leon, who is still new to the Espada) usually went to. Aizen seemed particularly happy this time.
"My Espada, tomorrow will be one that goes down in history. Tomorrow is the day we shall invade Karakura Town and create the King's Key." All the Espada looked at each other. " I regret to say that I will only be taking a some of you. I'm afraid the the 4th Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer, and the 3rd Espada, Leon Lanks, will be staying at Los Noches until we return." Leon had a bad feeling about this. He knew if he didn't go, someone was bound to die.
After the meeting Leon met everyone who was going and wished them good luck. He found Stark and Halibel in a resting room and decided to wish them good luck as well. "Hey, Stark, Halibel-sama, I just wanted to wish you both good luck." Stark had been sleeping but woke up when he'd heard Leon. "Thanks. Listen I'm sorry you don't get to go." Stark tried to help Leon into going, but to no avail. "Hey it's alright. I'll just be a little bored, that's all. Well, good luck." He turned to face Halibel. "Good luck, Halibel-sama." He turned and left for his room.
The next day, Aizen and the Espada left for Karakura Town. Leon was in the throne room, walking around, when he spotted something. A small, usually empty trash basket ha d a piece of paper in it. He grabbed the paper and read. "Oh, No! I have to get to Karakura Town now!" He hid the note in his jacket. "Defend, Guardian!" Leon's Katana became a double-edged sword and his left arm now had a large, metal, pentagon-shaped shield on it. He opened a Garganta and hurried to Karakura Town. Hoping he could protect his friends.
Okay, I think I fixed the length problem a bit. For those who have not figured it out, the book earlier is Harry Potter 1. Hey, Wolfie-sama, how do you like becoming an important character(you help him achieve a power later on). Also to all my readers, I will explain Leon's zanpakuto plus what his description is.
