Chapter 2: Haven't I Seen This Before?

I was oblivious to everything around me. Boo's barking, the slithering, everything. That is until my headphones fell out as I bent to pick up the trash by my feet, only to hear a loud *BANG!* just over my head. I looked up, surprised, only to see that there was a gigantic, gaping hole where my head was before I bent over. Then the shocked subsided as I heard a blood-curdling screech from behind me. I turned around just in time to notice a black, murky, thing tower over me before swooping in for the next attack.

"DUCK!" an unknown, yet oddly familiar, voice called out to me.

And let me tell you, that's just what I did.

I ducked and rolled out of the way and then vaulted up into the air, did a summersault, and landed gracefully on the balls of my feet, not but a few yards away from the, now, black, charred hole in the ground where I'd been standing. I looked towards the thing, in all its bubbling, inky glory, and really looked at it. It was completely black, except for a murky whiteness that glowed faintly every few moments. It was a bubbling mass of darkness, or at least, that's what it looked like, wobbling over me like a bad plate of jello.

I immediately looked for Bugaboo, the more defenseless of us, and noticed he was right by my side, like he belonged there. I looked toward him and he looked at me. Immediately, our minds linked, and I could hear him.

Can you hear me? Master?

Bugaboo? Is that you?

Hai, master! Tis I, Bugaboo, the mighty Shadow Wolf, otherwise known as a type of Hell Hound. At your service, my master.

Wah? What are you talking about?

I'll explain later! We must act quickly, master, for the Shade is approaching!

No sooner than he said that, the thing got up and lunged. I picked up Boo and ran out of its reach, freaking out all the while. What's going on? What just happened? This can't be real, can it? How is Boo talking to me? Is it because I can hear voices? And why do I feel as if none of this is surprising? It feels…normal, like I've been waiting for this to happen? Oh, no time for that now! I kept ducking and dodging, running and jumping, and everything else in the book to get away, but it blocked every road, turn, and escape route around. We were in an abandoned part of the apartments, as in no one was occupying it as of yet, and that meant screaming for help wasn't going to work. I stared the thing down. If my calculations were correct, it attacked quickly, regrouped its elongated bubbly mass it used to attack me, then seemed like it had to rest from the effort, before it let out a small screech and lunged again. All I had to do was wait for it to recharge, duck and run if I hear a scream, and then make a mad dash for the exit!

As I was rambling my escape plans in my head, I failed to notice the Shade, as Boo had called it, slither closer and closer, until it was towering over me just a few feet away. I looked up in dismay, seeing how it had oozed all the way around me, so I couldn't escape. Screeching a mighty screech, it lunged for me. I closed my eyes and shielded Boo in my arms, and waited for whatever was to come.

Nothing happened.

I looked up, curious as to what happened, and saw that I was encased in sand. I heard, muffled by the sand protecting me, a loud screech and then metal clashes from outside. What's going on? Why am I not dead? I think, as I look to Bugaboo. He's looking up at me with a worried expression on his cute features. "Hey Boo, are you okay?" I ask. Boo just nods and leans into me, and whimpers slightly. I hold him tight as I look to the sand. It was starting to leave and I could now see what was going on, more and more as the sand flew away…

…towards Gaara. Of the Sand. Of the FRICKIN' Sand. What. The. Heck?

Gaara looked towards me, looking me up and down with his blank, emotionless, pale-green orbs. He seemed satisfied with what he saw, probably checking for any wounds I had, and went back to watching the fight. He glided over to me, with his sand, and made the sand form a protective barrier between me and the Shade, but low enough so I could see the fight.

"Are you alright?" He asked, with that scratchy, hoarse yet smooth, voice of his. I think I died a little at his voice. I'm a fangirl, sue me. "Uh, yeah. Do what's going on?" I asked, in all my idiotic glory. "Yes." He replied in a tone that said not to ask anymore questions right now. I nodded and turned back to the Shade, only to see it cowering and trying to slither away from…wait…is that?…no it can't be….it was…

Death the Kid. Death the FRICKIN' Kid. Shootin' up like always, only his guns looked different. They weren't Liz and Patty, I could tell (A/N: If you don't know the anime Soul Eater, go look it up and watch it right now, cause I used some jokes in the last chapter, and will continue to in the chapters to come, use jokes from there. Thank you!). They were still two pistols, completely symmetrical, of course, but they had a different design than Liz and Patty. They looked kinda like regular guns, but they still shot out the same spirit bullets and such, so not a loss there.

He was battling the Shade, and winning greatly. But the Shade was faking. How I knew, I didn't know, I just felt it in my gut as Kid walked closer, that it was waiting.

"NOO! KID GET AWAY, IT'S FAKING! RUN!" I shouted out to him, causing him to pause and Gaara to look at me in doubt. The Shade screeched, signaling the attack, and Kid jumped up and backwards, towards us. He landed behind the sand barrier and we watched the Shade fumble forwards, where Kid used to be, and crash into the dumpster. Kid looked at me with thanks and Gaara looked slightly awed at my saving Kid. You know, as much as Gaara can look awed and still be emotionless. He's just cool like that.

The Shade got back up and started to make its bubbling way over to us, when I heard one of my favorite sounds ever.

"Rain Over the Frozen Heavens, Hyorinmaru!" yelled Toshiro Hitsugaya, my all time favorite character of Bleach, as he swung his sword over his head and let loose a torrent of ice onto the Shade. The Shade froze over, and with a mighty crack, exploded into millions of ice shards, causing everything to glitter. I sighed in relief, the thing was gone, and I was surrounded by the three, according to me, hottest and awesome guys from my three favorite animes. Cue major fan girl screaming in my head.

Stop fangirling and describe them! People who don't know are gonna stop reading! DESCRIBE, GIRL DESCRIBE!

Fine, fine. But I'm so gonna fangirl later.

Yes, and I'm soooo not looking forward to it.

Anyway, Gaara was dressed in a regular red t-shirt with the kanji for 'love' on it, blue jeans, and red tennis shoes. He had his guard of sand on his back, and wristbands on both wrists, both red, and with pictures of guards on them (A/N: idk if this actually exists, I just came up with off the top of my head, so sorry!). Kid was wearing a black t-shirt, with a Lord Death skull on the middle of it, Black jeans, with a Lord Death skull belt, and black tennis shoes. He also had a jacket on. It was a regular jacket, not too baggy, not to tight, that had little skulls on the ends of the strings, and was totally pitch black, except for the few lighter shaded skulls that kept up a pattern on the jacket. Toshiro wasn't in his outfit shinigami outfit either. He had on a black t-shirt, white vest, unzipped, with sea green strips along the top and bottom of it. Black jeans with a white and sea green striped belt, with white tennis shoes, with a sea green strip along the bottoms. He also had wristbands, but they were white with a sea green stripe in the middle, and had his squad's symbol on both of them. Y'know, the flower the tenth squad has for gentai kaijou(A/N: Did I spell that right?). They were all dressed in normal attire, and they looked good in them too.

It seemed Toshiro didn't have to change into his shinigami form to fight, his sword was just on his back, like normal. Kid kept his two pistols inside his jacket, as to keep them hidden and also for easy reach if they were needed on the spot. Gaara just kept his guard in plain sight, probably not caring what other's thought.

I looked at all of them, and said the first thing that came to mind. In all my sweaty, bruised, scratched glory, I looked at them all and said…

"DO YOU KNOW WHO Y'ALL ARE?".

Smooth, Sara, smooth. Way to thank your heroes, what a wonderful little damsel in distress you are.

Shut up…

Hopefully, it's a little longer, and you guys liked it! Please r&r so you can give me your input. I can't fix what you don't like, if you don't tell me what's wrong. If you like it, please tell me what you like and what I'm doing right, cause I would greatly appreciate it! And I'll feel depressed if you don't review at all…. *sniff* …

Sincerely, Raven T. ^_^
