:D
Enjoy!
Over the next few days Ichigo has been out training with the Visoreds, meaning I had no one to torture. So after a week of Ichigo coming home night after night dead tired I decided it was time for him to take a break from training. So the next morning I got up super early, I head in to Ichigo's room only to see him getting ready to leave. Scowling I walk over to him and tug on his arm, looking down at me he asks, "What?"
"You my dear friend are in need of a serious day off." I said.
Raising a brow at me he shakes my hand off his arm and continues getting ready. "You know I can't do that Ry. Besides everyone else is off training so why don't you go to them?"
"Simple my dear Watson, it's because none of them are my best friend, besides it's already been a week and whenever you come home you look like shit." Opening his mouth to argue I slap my hand over his mouth. "Don't even think about arguing Ichi cause you know that you'll lose." Glaring at me he moves back from my hand and grits out a 'fine'.
"Now get out of my room before I throw you out you damn midget."
"Love you to strawberry." I said as I practically skipped out of his room.
After getting dressed in a pair of nice jeans and a t-shirt I head down stairs to find myself something to eat. Making myself a bowl of cereal I sit down at the table and start munching away. A few minutes later I see Ichigo come into the kitchen still grumbling. "Oh stop your mood swings Ichi, you need this break." I said as I finished my cereal. Putting my bowl in the sink I turn to Ichigo and give him a smile, "Ready?"
"Yea, yea where are we going anyways?" He asked while picking up an apple to eat.
"We kemo sabe, are going to the park for a day of rides an pictures." I said smiling.
Running up stairs to grab my purse and camera I notice a little stuffed animal in my bag, taking it out I look at it sweetly before throwing it down to the floor then stepping on it. "Ow hey! Why would you do that me, my dear lovely Ryder?"
The first time I knew that plushy could talk I kinda freaked, but after he flinged himself at my chest I put the guy in his place, under my foot.
"Simple Kon, because you are not coming." I said to the stuffed animal.
Kon is Ichigo's mod soul or the little candy thing that is currently inside the little lion plushy. He's quite the pervy little thing and annoying to, always trying to catch me changing or some sort. Whenever I catch him trying to peak at me I always yell at him to get out of my room then Ichigo comes in to beat up Kon. Good times, good times.
Finally back down stairs I grab Ichigo and run right out of the house.
Ah Karakura Park is always fun to go to, even though it was going to be my first time there. The first time I saw the park was when I first arrived back in Karakura, when I saw the Ferris wheel I just knew I wanted to go there one day. And apparently today was that day Ichigo and I arrived at the park, me being the supper excited one out of the two of us.
"Come one Ichi let's go!" I yelled out happily while running towards the entrance of the park.
Running up to the ticket guy I ask for two tickets, "That'll be 5000 yen please." Pulling out my wallet I was about to pay when Ichigo pushed me to the side, paying for the tickets.
"Ichi I was gonna pay there was no reason for you to get it." I mean this was Ichigo's day off.
"I know how you are Ry; you'll most likely pay for everything since you think I need this day away from training. Call me paying pay back for your kidnaping me away from training." Shaking my head I knew that he was right, I was going to pay for everything today.
Oh well.
Walking into the park I head straight to the biggest tree I could find and take out my camera. "Come on Ichi."
Once he reached me at the tree I pulled him to my side and took a picture. Happy with the way the picture came out I wrap my camera around my wrist for easy access, turning back to Ichigo I ask, "Alrighty then Ichi what ride do you want to ride first?"
Rollercoaster, rollercoaster, lunch and other rides later it was already late afternoon. "You know I must admit Ry today was a lot of fun." Ichigo said with a smile on his face.
"See what happens when you listen to your bestest buddy." Laughing at me he continued walking, we had no real destination at the moment since we were taking a break from the rides. Seeing Ichigo near the parks lake I got an amazing idea. Smiling devilishly I sneak up behind Ichigo and push him into the lake. Taking out my camera I snap I quick picture of his flailing form, I smile at him then point and laugh at him, not minding any of the people around me.
"Ryder!" He yelled out now standing in the water.
Slowing my laughing to giggling I look up to a soaked Ichigo, once again taking a picture of him. Placing an innocent smile on my face I ask, "Should I start running?"
Still giving me his death glare I take off running hearing Ichigo taking chase soon after.
"Get back here you damn midget!" Running faster I take sharp turns to try and lose him, Ichigo may have long legs but I'm smaller and faster so I can weave through the crowd a lot easier than he can. Sneaking a peak behind me I could no longer see Ichigo, stopping to catch my breath I start walking at a calm pace. After walking around for a while I saw the most amazing thing right in front of me, a stage and a microphone.
Oh yeah now it's time for some real fun.
Going up to the man at the stage I ask if I could go up and sing, giving me a smile he said to go right ahead. Jumping up on to the stage I look through some of the songs the man had on his computer. Making my own playlist of a few songs I grabbed the mic and got ready to sing.
Let's see if Ichigo can find me now.
Clicking play on the computer I hear the beginning to Katy Perry's song 'Firework'.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again
Not long after I started singing a crowed began to appear around the stage. Enjoying the song to its fullest I began dancing.
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
Looking out to the crowed I could see people dancing around enjoying the music, I could also see a familiar head of orange hair. Looking at Ichigo's face I could see that he was shocked to see me on the stage singing away. Finishing the song the crowed yells out for another, not wanting to disappoint I start up another song. This time I started singing the song 'This City is Contagious' by The Cab. Now I was really having fun.
Right now, this town is for the taking
We'll bring neon to its knees
Our time to shine beyond the pavement
We've got everything we need
So turn the music up; you're hearing more than sound
Right now, this town is for the taking
And it's all we'll ever need
Once again looking out to the crowd I could see that Ichigo has moved up closer to the stage still giving me that shocked look. Coming up to my favorite part of this song I stand right at the edge of the stage and sing out.
Make us; this city's contagious
Caught inside its pages
We are leaving it all
Hate us; it'll only save us
Stronger than we came up
We are leaving it all
Hate us; it'll only save us
(Right now, this town is for the taking)
Stronger than we came up
(We'll bring neon to its knees)
We are leaving it all
(Our time to shine beyond the pavement)
We've got everything we need
Smiling as I finished up the song I took a quick break, drinking some water that the stage owner gave me. Coming back I started up another song, 'Déjà vu' by 3OH3.
I think I've been here before,
I think I've run into you,
I know the things that you do,
'Cause this is déjà vu.
Making gestures that went along with the song I jumped of the stage to start dancing with some people in the crowd. After my fun in the crowd I sang a few more songs before finally calling it quits.
"Thank you and have a good night ya'll." Getting off the stage I walked over to Ichigo with a wide smile on my face.
"I didn't know you could sing like that." Was the first thing out of his mouth.
Laughing I just started walking to the exit of the park, stopping to get some water for my as of now sore throat. Catching up with me Ichigo stops in front of me giving me his signature scowl.
Stopping myself I just give him a confused look, "What?"
Giving me a crooked smile he did the one thing I hate him doing, he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder again. Trying to wiggle free I pound on his back and call him all kinds of names.
"Ok why am I being carried again? You know how much I hate it when you do this Ichi." I yelled at him.
Shrugging his shoulders he continues walking to who knows where, finally stopping Ichigo lifts me up, looking down at him I can still see him giving me that same smile. Peering behind me I see the same lake I pushed Ichigo into earlier, now I was struggling a lot because I really didn't want to get thrown into the water. "Ichigo Kurosaki don't you dare." I ground out.
"Ain't payback a bitch Ry." He said, but before he could throw me in I wrapped my legs around his waist and threw my weight back, causing the both of us to fall into the water.
Coming up for air I look over to Ichigo who was now giving me another death glare. I couldn't help myself I started cracking up on how he looked. "Twice in one day Ichi I am so freakin awesome!" Apparently not liking me at the moment Ichigo just splashed water at me, thus starting a water war between the two of us.
"Excuse me you two need to get out of there now, and I'm going to ask you to leave the park." Said some random park person.
"Yes ma'am," I said mock saluting. "Come on Ichi."
Dragging Ichigo out of the water by his shirt we start heading out. "You are pure evil Ry do you know that?" Ichigo said to me while ruffling up my wet hair. "You know what else is evil my strawberry friend?" I questioned, getting behind him I jump on to his back and say, "Why giving me a piggyback ride all the way home. Now on wards my friend."
"Get off me you little midget! I am not carrying you home."
"Come on please! Besides my throat hurts like hell from all that singing and that has made me unable to walk." I said.
"How does that make you unable to walk?" Laughing I just give him a light shrug.
Sighing Ichigo wraps his arms under my legs to keep me from falling and starts walking home. "Victory thy name is Ryder, and to a lesser extent Ichigo." I said laughing out.
"I can still just drop your happy ass Ry." Hearing him say that I just cling on to him tighter hoping he really wouldn't drop me. After about five minutes I was in a light doze on Ichigo's back, almost completely asleep a high pitched ringer woke me right up.
"The hell is that?" I mumbled out sleepily.
Sighing Ichigo gently put me down on my feet and fished out his substitute shinigami badge. "Sorry Ry but there's a hollow nearby I gotta go get that. Wake up a bit will you." Yawning I stretch a bit to try and wake myself up, nodding at Ichigo I shoo him away, "Alright I'm awake see, now go on and get that big bad hollow." Nodding he runs off in search of the hollow, before he gets too far I yell out, "Be safe!"
Hearing a faint 'yeah, yeah' I smile and continue on home.
Taking my time going home I started replaying my fight with Grimmjow, rerunning it through my head.
I must admit he was an impresive fighter.
"I believe he was Ryder, he may have even been stronger than me." Stopping I turn to the side to see Night right next to me. Smiling I continued walking, "Hello Night, and yes he was impresive wasn't he? But he seemed more, I don't know animal than man to me, more feral than anything." Grunting at my response Night just kept walking.
"You know as a Tamer you are naturally drawn to those that have a natural animalistic soul, ones just like this Grimmjow."
Huh know that's interesting.
All of the sudden I felt someone pull me to a stop, looking behind me I see that it was Night holding me still, "Night?" Pushing me behind him Night stands protectively in front of me.
"Who are you?" Peering over his shoulder I can see a pale man in white clothing. He had messy black hair, green eyes with slit pupils like a cat, teal lines descending from his eyes which made it look like he was crying, and he also had what seemed to be a broken bone helmet on his head. "Ulquiorra Cifer and I have come to collect Ryder Kingsley."
Tensing up at hearing him say that I narrow my eyes and step in front of Night. "Care to explain why? Last time I checked I was not an object to be collected."
Snapping my fingers I could feel Night shift in to his sword form putting myself into a defensive position I prepare myself for any attack this Ulquiorra guy might throw at me. Disappearing from my sight I look around to try and see where he went, sensing him behind me I turn around to try and hit him with my sword but surprisingly he stopped it with one hand. Bringing up his other hand he attached something to my neck, feeling an intense electrical shock go through me I fall to my knees, seeing Night disappear from my hand and from my sight. Glaring up at Ulquiorra I tried to summon Night again, but failed once I felt another electrical shock.
Crying out I ask in a low voice, "The fuck did you do to me?"
"I gave you a limiter, it suppresses your power and your ability to summon that animal of yours." Growling out I lift myself up and take a few calming breaths before looking at Ulquiorra, finally calm I rush towards him to punch him square in the face. The force of my punch pushed him back several feet, but he was sadly able to keep standing. Finally back to his calm posture he rubs at his face giving me a, I guess you could say, impressed look.
"Hm impressive, thought that limiter should have stopped all your power."
Giving a small chuckle I explained, "Well yea this thing does suppress my power, but since Nights power is no longer mine to control his physical strength is. Since I can't summon his power his physical strength and speed shifts over to me so he can still protect me in some form or way."
Getting into a fighting stance I tell him, "I may have experience with sword fighting but my main specialty is hand-to-hand with sword fighting in close second." Not saying anything he once again disappears from my sight, this time sensing where he's at I block his kick to my side.
That trick may have worked with Grimmjow but it won't work again.
Recovering from his kick I rush him again to only have my punch blocked by his arm, crouching low I swing around to kick my leg out high to try and hit him in the face but that to was blocked by his hand around my ankle. I tried to pull my leg free but was unable to since he had a tight grip on my ankle, seeing his opportunity he threw me across the street and right in to a light pole.
Ow that one really hurt like a bitch. I thought while sliding down the street light.
Trying to rise up I shakily stand on my feet using the light pole to steady myself. Hearing emo boy approach me I look up to see him standing right in front of me. Raising his hand he hits me on the back of my neck successfully knocking me out.
Slowly coming to I feel myself over someone's shoulder, groaning I started to struggle, "Enough."
Oh no, not him.
"Put me down, you're making me sick." I mumbled out.
Putting me on my feet, none to gently might I add Ulquiorra grabs hold of my upper arm and starts walking down a long white hall. White, white, white that was all I could see and it seriously irritated me, "Seriously this place desperately needs some color, and I think I might go blind just looking at all this white. Hey who's your interior decorator, I'd really like to talk to him about some color." Looking down at me Ulquiorra tightens his hold on my arm to where it was nearly painful.
"You will not speak unless spoken to is that clear woman."
Oh fuck no.
About to yell out at him he stops us at a large door, opening the door he leads me inside only to stop us at a large throne like thing. Looking up, up and up I could see a man with brown swept back hair and piercing eyes, he wore somewhat the same thing as Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.
Pulling my arm from Ulquiorra's hand I look around the large room I was in, seeing people here and there I noticed a familiar blue head of hair. Looking right back at me Grimmjow gives me a wide smirk I scowl at him and stick my tongue at him childishly.
"Welcome Ryder Kingsley." Composing myself I stick my hands in to my pockets and look up to the man that spoke to me.
"Mind explaining why I'm here?" I asked with a slightly angry tone to my voice.
Smiling down at me he welcomed me to this crazy too white place. "I welcome you my honored guest to Las Noches." Raising a brow when he said 'guest' I gave off a light laugh. "Guest? I would really hate to see how you treat the people you actually invite here." Hearing Ulquiorra take a step towards me he took hold of my arm again tightening his grip harder than before.
"Ulquiorra please," Once he said that Ulquiorra released my arm and stepped away from me.
Rubbing my arm I looked back up only to see the man in the chair gone, as of now he was standing only inches away from me, I frowned when I noticed my vision was now of his chest. Not wanting to back up and show him I was uncomfortable I just looked right up at him with my best scowl.
"Hm, how are you unaffected by my spiritual pressure?" He asked not answering him I ask a question of my own. "You know it's not polite to leave a guest without her host's name. So what is your name oh so kind host of mine?"
Giving me another smile he answered me, "Souske Aizen and it is a pleasure to meet you Ryder. Now will you please explain why you can still stand with my spiritual pressure directly focused on you?"
Shrugging I took a wild guess, I could just faintly feel his spiritual pressure and I knew he was crazy strong but whatever was blocking it I was thankful for it. "I'm not too sure about that but I think it's my Night, since this lovely chocker here is blocking his power he is sending out whatever strength he can to me I guess. Who knows?" I said turning my head to the side.
Smirking down at me Aizen made things really uncomfortable for me when he grabbed my chin to raise it so I was looking directly at his face. Giving him an unhappy look I try to pull away but he had a good grip on me.
What is it with men and grabbing me?
"I see well then I believe it is time to get you settled here, Grimmjow if you will. I believe Ryder's day at the park has tired her so a nice rest should be good before our next conversation." Finally able to pull free from his grasp I backed up a few paces, seeing Grimmjow approach me he took hold of the same arm Ulquiorra had. Leading me out I stopped when I heard Aizen speak again, "Oh and by the way Ryder I must admit your singing is quite impressive."
Tensing up I look over my shoulder to give him my best glare, all Aizen did was give me another one of his smiles. Feeling a rough tug on my arm Grimmjow pulls me out of the giant throne room.
Man fuck my life. Ichigo is gonna be pissed when he finds out what's happened.
