Chapter 3: I made a new friend
Hey everyone! :3 so like, I'm actually pretty happy! xD hahaha, I really hope that you guys like my story so far! Trust me! You might want to stick around a bit longer because it gets more interesting! Also, I don't own Bleach or Chopper!...sadly…
Sitting on the edge of the river were two figures with no shadow. The taller one, a human girl wearing a black tanktop with deathly pale skin and pitch black hair that was pulled into a poney-tail sat on the right side of the chibi ram with black tiny horns that curled around his white fluffy ears.
"So…" the pale teen whispered, this was actually her first time talking to someone other than herself and Orihime. "Why are you here and not with your 'kid'?"
Being an imaginary friend was bad enough, but being forgotten is worst.
"Are you lost?" Yaka, the pale teen, asked glancing sideways towards the chibi ram, who swung his (Yaka thinks is a boy) legs back and forth like a little child.
The imaginary ram shook his head and his eyes glistened as he watched the river gently rush by.
"Nah, I'm just walking around. I haven't been here for a while." The ram said quietly. Yaka, not knowing what else to say, nodded.
"By the way, I didn't catch your name, chibi." Yaka teased hoping it would lighten things up a bit. The chibi ram smiled then, with a tiny hoof, reached over to Yaka in a handshake gesture.
"I'm Sheep." He said with a smile all too similar to Chopper's.
Yaka laughed and shook Sheep's hoof.
"But you're a ram." Yaka giggled. Sheep's left ear twitched before he jumped up with small steam shooting out from his tiny ears and began to beat on Yaka's left arm.
"So, what?! It just so happen that my name's Sheep and not Ram!..." Sheep paused in the middle of hitting Yaka then tapped a hoof gently against his lower lip. "Although, Ram does sound pretty cool…"
Yaka innocently smiled. "Sorry! I didn't mean to offend you! It was just a bit…ironic? I guess?"
Sheep pouted and sat back down, silence took its place between them.
The sun was slowly setting and the sky was a beautiful cheery pink. The calm river reflected the sky's beauty with the sound of gentle rushing of the water. Yaka slightly turned her head towards Sheep.
"You know staring is bad manners, right?" the ram's high pitch chibi voice said without looking at Yaka. Yaka yelped and blushed in embarrassment of being caught.
"Sorry, it's just," Yaka turned away so that Sheep wouldn't catch her eyes slowly tearing up. "I've never talked to anyone who could see me before."
"Same.." the reply was quiet but Yaka was able to catch it. Yaka's eyes widen and she turned towards Sheep.
"You…" Yaka's eyes blurred with tears. "You too?"
Now it was Sheep's turn to turn away, he got up with his back facing Yaka. Sheep lowered his head and wiped his tears away with the back of his hoof.
"I-I gotta go." He said with a sniff, "I'm starting to fade."
Yaka blinked away her tears and looked at Sheep's feet, indeed… he was starting to fade. She glanced at her feet; her time's running out too. She's already faded up to her knees.
"You better get going too," Sheep said looking over his small puffy shoulders. "You might not make it if you don't."
Yaka got up and nodded with tears returning.
"C-can I see you again, Chibi?" she asked with a small smile. Sheep's eyes widen, and then he floated off the ground facing her slowly.
"Baka!" He shouted trying to sound like he didn't care, "It's Sheep! Baka!" He repeated louder with tears threatening to fall before quickly turning and zooming off into the distance. Yaka smile and floated up too with tears tricking down her pale face, she waved as her only friend took off to his safety zone before she went the opposite way.
The sun was already gone by the time Yaka made it to the apartment. Yaka slipped through the door like a ghost and landed on the wooden floor, she walked over to the couch and plopped onto it. Yaka closed her eyes and, for the first time in a long time, Yaka relaxed. She felt…free almost. Yaka felt herself slowly fading back to reality. By the time Yaka heard footsteps coming down the hall from Orihime's room, Yaka had already recovered.
"Ahhh!" the orange haired princess yelped, Yaka opened one eye and laughed. "Oh! Yaka, when did you come back?" Orihime laughed nervously. "You scared me!"
Yaka floated in the air and slowly laid onto her stomach.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I got here about three minutes ago?" Yaka replied.
Orihime giggled and walked towards the kitchen.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you smiling so much, Yaka?" Orihime asked without looking at Yaka as she took out a baking pan. Yaka blinked. She was smiling? Yaka's smile widened and her eyes slightly glistened when she remembered Sheep. Yaka crossed her arms in front of her and rested her head on her arms.
"I made a new friend."
