Chapter 4
"What the hell?"
Of course Renji would be the one to yell his head off. He was quite
possibly even louder than Ichigo. The tenth division was obviously
annoyed that Renji couldn't contain himself like the fool he was.
"Shut up Abarai. No one wants to hear you speak let alone yell."
But still Abarai stood gaping much like the others from the human
world. Yes he was surprised to find two people looking very similar
standing there but je didn't go around screaming like a banshee.
A few days ago Ichigo Kurosaki had been attacked by a new school mate
that was far from the normal standard. Michiko Hisakawa had managed to
get herself in trouble with the Soul Society and make it so there were
two of her.
"Hello children," spoke the General, "It has been quite a while since
you have been to the Soul Society."
"Heh like anyone would want to come back. This place is such a dump,"
sneered one of the two Mikos. The other said nothing.
"Im sorry you think of us that way. But that is not relevant at the
moment. Now we must decide which of you is who."
Toshiro watched the whole thing unfold. So these two had been here
before. And they were two different people.
"Tch how could you confuse me with an ugly tramp like that?"
"You may have forgotten but we are twins fool," spoke the other one
finally.
Twins. So that was it. I thought they were family but you can never be
too cautious thought the captain.
"Shut up. I'm still prettier then you."
"And still as foolish and cocky as ever."
"Gah!"
And with that she lunged out of Ikkaku's surprised arms and at the
other twin. Madarame let go of the other just in time to miss being
kicked in the face by the round house she had just thrown to defend
herself. The attacker caught the foot and twisted it counter clock
wise till a pop was heard. A cry came from the second as the first ran
out the door and dissapeared into the Sereite.
"Are you alright?" asked Orihime. She really didn't care who it was as
long as they were hurt she would heal them.
"Im fine. I think she just broke my ankle."
"Miko?"
"Yes...Chad?"
"ok just making sure"
"hehh...ouchers!"
"Miko you need to be taken to the infermry..." said Ichigo.
"How can we even be sure that this is the real Miko?"asked Ikkaku.
"Its easy," spoke Jushiro as he walked into the room,"Miko please
show us your scar."
She gave a blank/oh my god I can't believe your making me show you
thiswhile i habe a broken ankle look.
"I honestly don't know why you need to see it. It's quite obvious that
I'm Miko. I don't have a reason to run away from you. I can't go
anywhere or do anything with a broken ankle."
"Orihime? Would you?" asked the 13th captain.
Orihime rushed over and quickly mended the lower extremity making sure
all of the bones were back in the right place.
"Thanks Orihime. Honestly I don't..."
"Humor us." spoke up the General.
Giving a somewhat dejected look she turned slowly lifting up her black
tunic on her back. A gruesome scar stretched from her left hip to the
area of her right kidney. The scar looked like it had just been healed
yesterday. The red swollen stripe looked just as painful now as when
she recieved it. The entire room except for two stood in shock.
"It looks many times better then it did the last time you were here."
in walked Unohanna. The captain and her lieutenant had heard that the
intruder had been caught and came straight away to help determine who
was who.
"What the he'll is going on?" yelled Renji.
Ichigo just looked dumbfounded. Could his really be the person he had
m own for just a short period of time? Could this really be Keigo's
friend? He was just so confused.
"Umm could someone please explain what's going on?" asked Orihime
tenativly.
Ukitake looked at her and then at Miko. Miko made the faintest shake
of the head, almost unnoticed.
"That is not our information to give," said the general,"we can not
give out secrets that are not ours."
"Well someone has to. Humans were attacked and the world of the living
was disrupted. I think we deserve some sort of explaination."
countered Ichigo. Sadly he had a point.
"There are some things we can not..."
"Then I will tell this tale. Or at least what thy need to know."
Everyone looked in surprise at the person that spoke. Miko had taken a
step forward with a blank expression. The shy cautious girl they had k
own had been replaced with a strong woman with wise words. The way she
held herself caused her to appear to have more sharp angles and a very
exotic demeanor. Almost a wild composure while still being tame. Her
eyes told a story of a life of hurt and ferralness hidden behind a
mind of wisdom.
"My life is one of strangeness. You don't need to know the entire
story. Just certain points. My sister and I are as you have noticed
identical twins. Everything about us is the same. Except for our
minds. We have very different ideals and morals. When we were young a
rebel soul reaper came and tried to persuade us to join him on a
mission to "change the world". I managed to refuse but my sister was
captivated. She quickly left me kn the street and left with the man.
Soon after I was old enough to live on my own. I survived but just
barely. Ever since that day we have been destined to kill each other
by a proficey set long before our birth. Since I have been working
with the Soul Society to track her through Hueco Muendo. Occasionally
she shows up in the world of the living and here but not long enough
to be tracked. I'm dot sure what she wants but if what I have heard is
true then we are all in danger."
"Then let us help," said Ichigo," what can we do?"
Sorry for such a sucky chapter….. Just needed to develop my characters some more
