Hey everyone! This is the author of the story, (shadowmoon23 is in hospital at the moment, which is one of the reasons why neither of us has updated. Sorry). Shadow said on the last update that I had writers block, that's true. I have written quite a bit but at the moment I am stuck on what the storyline is going to be, any ideas? Please help!
Thank you so much to the people who review XD. I'm glad you like the story.
Sorry for the mix up in the surnames, I forgot that I had already given them names and found new ones, (sorry xD) I have changed them so it will make sense again!
The light from the window spread across the room and woke both teens up. Amy yawned and got up; Chloe rolled over and cursed a few times before hiding under the covers.
A knock on the door came as Amy finished getting ready, she opened the door and there stood the captain of the 14th division. "Are you ready?" he said with his usual frown looking round to see Chloe completely hidden from view under her blankets. With a massive smile plastered on her face she nodded and said, "I'll just get Chloe up".
Ichigo left and waited outside, which was a good idea as Chloe had even less control over her appearance when she was asleep. She yawn, dangerous fangs and claws glimmered sliver, ears and tail twitching. When they were both ready, Chloe reached for her blade, which she had left by her bed, but as soon as she touched it, it changed into two knuckle dusters with jagged blades running along the knuckles. Both girls stared before Chloe put them on and shrugged, her hoody sleeves were long enough to hide them.
They followed Ichigo to the training grounds as Ichigo gave them some more information about the division "including me and Ulquiorra there are only five people in the division" the girls exchanged worried glances "Miso Saskue, who delivered the drinks last night," Chloe nodded remembering the terrified man, "and Grimmjaw, who can get violent so look out. Last of all there is Starrk, who will probably be asleep. Starrk, Ulquiorra and Grimmjaw are arrancar," he paused looking over at the girls for any reactions, seeing none he continued, "they fought against the shinigami in the war."
They came across a wide open area outside, three people stood in the middle of the clearing. A small terrified looking man was introduced as Miso Saskue, a man slightly taller than Ichigo stood next to him bright blue hair almost the same colour as Amy's a white jaw bone glued to his normal jaw line, manic grin plastered onto his face was introduced as Grimmjaw. Starrk was standing next to Grimmjaw, asleep.
"Right, guys these are the new members of the 14th division, Amy Johnson," Amy waved and greeted everybody, not taking her eyes off of Ulquiorra, "and the other is Chloe Scott" who nodded.
He explained the situation to Miso, Grimmjaw and Starrk, not that anybody could see the point of Starrk being here. Who accepted, "Miso will teach you the things you need to know about the soul society and the rest of us, Starrk excluded, will yeah you fighting skills. The first lesson starts now"
Miso left quickly; evidently he was not good at fighting and did not want to get in the way. Starrk woke up, only to walk to a nearby tree, sit down and fall asleep again. Ichigo handed over to Ulquiorra as he had a meeting with the rest of the captains. He left mumbling something about it being a pointless waste of time.
"We will start with the basics." Ulquiorra began, "Please could you get you swords and ..." he stopped talking when he saw Amy sword appear from nowhere. Grimmjaw raised an eyebrow as both looked over at Chloe, expecting the same. "She's already got hers" Amy explained. Both men looked confused but accepted this information as true, as they didn't really understand how these people worked, so they left it at that.
Ulquiorra spent half an hour explaining how to use swords and defensive positions. Ulquiorra paired up with Amy first, Chloe would go after, hopefully Grimmjaw would not need to do anything. Their training had started.
Ulquiorra led Amy to the nearest side of the combat area. They stood facing each other swords in hands, Amy ribbon dancing in the breeze. Ulquiorra enjoyed Amy company as her heighten emotions seems to make up for his loss of emotions. He drew his sword and they clashed at the midpoint between them Amy sword giving off blue light. Amy quickly backed off, not wanting to hurt him, as she too like the others company. Amy matched Ulquiorra strike for strike continually getting stronger and stronger, proving that she had plenty of power, even when she was in a good mood.
That was, until Grimmjaw yelled at Ulquiorra "Come on pansy!", Chloe could see what was coming, a flash of blue streaked past her, one hand shot up to hold onto her hood. Looking behind her she could see that Grimmjaw was shocked, he had only just managed to prevent himself from being majorly wounded, cuts and scratches were littered all over his body. Ulquiorra was impressed, "Amy why don't you have a break and calm down for a bit." He walked over to the blue haired girl and patted her on the shoulder; she turned bright red and nodded. "Chloe, you turn."
Amy walked over to where Starrk was sleeping, not wanting to be anywhere near Grimmjaw, who had decided that Starrk would suffice if Ulquiorra needed any help. He left quietly not wanting to anger Amy.
Chloe and Ulquiorra stood facing each other, Chloe took up a defensive stance but Ulquiorra did not attack. Confused Chloe slowly stood up, "I am waiting for you to take out you weapon Chloe." The hooded figure looked over to Amy, who shrugged. "If you do not take it out now I will still attack you." He gave his emotionless warning to the girl, who continued to stand completely still.
All of a sudden Ulquiorra attacked, sword coming down at the girl who held up her hands defensively. There was a flask of black which woke Starrk up; both spectators looked over to see what had happened, when the dark light and the dust had settled two figures stood in the centre. Chloe holding a short silver sward stopped Ulquiorra's sword, surprise was present on everybody's face, except Ulquiorra's. By some miracle Chloe's hood had stayed on.
Amy could feel rather than see a smirk work its way onto Chloe's face. The fight continued, mush in the same way Amy's had, only Chloe was not scared of hurting Ulquiorra, so by the end both fighter had some nasty looking cuts.
By lunch time both teens were shattered, Miso came up the seated group carefully and placed a tray of food in the middle. He then carefully sat down near the edge of the group obviously terrified of all of them.
Grimmjaw had come back now that there was food to offer and sat next to Chloe so that he was furthest away from Amy , "So, Bug" Grimmjaw was referring to Miso, "what's up with their swords?" ignoring the heated glares he was getting from the blue haired girl.
"Err, well, I d-did a b-bit of r-research" he was so scared that his teeth were chattering with fear, "I-it seems t-to be t-t-that b-because they w-were pulled f-from a d-d-different dimension t-they have a-adapted s-shinigami c-characteristics to be a-able to s-survive." Both Amy and Chloe felt a bit sorry for him as he looked like he was sent to the division to keep tabs on the arrancars.
"Please continue, Trash." Ulquiorra said emotionless. "What about Chloe's ...weapon which changes shape?"
"W-well I c-could o-only find one r-reference to that. E-err, it r-represents t-the emotions she is f-feeling a-at the t-time." Chloe looked up from admiring the dancing silver metal knuckle dusters, shrugged her shoulders and grabbed a sandwich. "K-Amy's s-sword emits p-power, l-like when s-she a-attacked G-Grimmjaw, s-she d-doesn't h-have to be near her o-opponent."
Ulquiorra turned to the teens and explained that because of their completely different fighting techniques they would have to be trained independently, Amy would be taught to fight from a distance and normal sword combat were as Chloe would have to be taught hand-to-hand fighting the only problem for her training time table would be her moods, whoever was going to teach her would have to change her lesson to fit with her emotion-changing weapon.
After lunch Miso rushed off as quickly as possible, his excuse was to go create the time tables for Chloe and Amy. When Ichigo returned he was filled in on what happened by Ulquiorra, Ichigo nodded, then said, "You both need to learn your Zanpakuto's name."
Much to Chloe's dismay Amy was able to enter her enter her mind to talk to her Zanpakuto.
She walked along and thinly spread forest until she came across a massive clearing; she looked around admiring the view, mountains in the distance with snowy peaks and a lake glittering in the distance.
"So you have finally arrived." Amy spun around; standing about ten yards behind her was a light blue wolf, five foot with black tips on her ears, paws and tail a white crescent moon on her forehead but this is not what shocked Amy. What really took her by surprise were the massive wings folded neatly on the wolf's back.
"Hello?" Amy half asked. The wolf chuckled and said,
"I suppose that the shinigami sent you here saying that I need to tell you my name?" Amy nodded in too much shock to speak. "Well," the wolf carried on, "I cannot."
At this Amy found her voice again, "wha... why...? I mean... huh?" The wolf chuckled again and explained "You are not a shinigami," Amy looked crest fallen "so you will choose my name as I do not have one." Amy's eyes sparkled as she leapt at the wolf embracing the warm silky neck.
"How about..." she paused to think, "Luna"
Amy opened her eyes and looked over to Chloe who was sitting perfectly still. But she still wasn't in her mind yet, Amy couldn't help but laugh. She was silenced by a silver dagger that thudded dangerously close to her face, some hair fluttered to the ground. She looked at the dagger which was still wobbling from the impact, buried half way to the hilt, in concrete, another weapon made from Chloe's emotions.
Amy anger snapped, she summoned Luna, her sword's new name, and leapt at Chloe. Who grabbed her second dagger and defended the blow. They stood at opposite sides of the room, watching each other, waiting, waiting...waiting.
Ichigo and Ulquiorra, talking quietly, entered the room and stopped surprised etched across Ichigo's face when he saw both girls glaring at each other weapons at the ready.
As soon as Amy saw Ulquiorra her mood changed, the angry teen turned into a love stuck puppy as she skipped over to the door were the two men had entered, never taking her eyes off of Ulquiorra.
Chloe relaxed slightly now the threat from Amy was gone, but couldn't help but throw the nearest item, which happened to be a hard cover book, straight at her head. The book bounced off her head, Chloe was shocked that Amy had laughed it off, still looking at Ulquiorra.
Ichigo raised an eyebrow, "Have you found the names of you Zanpakuto yet?" Amy's face beamed as she remembered the meeting with her swords soul. Chloe looked sheepish (both Ichigo and Ulquiorra were surprised that they could tell this when they couldn't see her face). "You just need to relax." Ichigo explained to Chloe as Ulquiorra took Amy out of the room.
Walking over to where the dagger was buried into the wall, Chloe gave a small yank and it came free, leaving a neat whole in the wall. The hooded girl walked back where she was sitting before and settled down, daggers changing into a small sword.
"Forget what is happening in the real world and focus all your energy onto your mind..." Ichigo's voice slowly faded as she felt a tugging at her conscious.
Please review, XD
