Hawk's Story: Bleach
Chapter 7
Soi Fon awoke the next morning a little uncomfortable. She realized she slept in her Shihakusho, but couldn't remember why She stood up and saw Hawk sitting against the wall, asleep. "Oh, that's right I fell asleep on the roof. He must have carried me in and put me in bed." Soi Fon said out loud.
"You get a good night sleep?" Hawk asked not opening his eyes.
"I did. Thank you."
"That's good. By the way, I hope you don't have anything important to do today, because it's almost noon."
"What! Oh no there is Captain's meeting at noon!" She yelled in a panic.
"Then you'd better hurry."
"Shut up, I know." Soi Fon grabbed her Captains Jacket and Zanpakuto, then headed for the door. She opened the door and was greeted by Omaeda. "Omaeda, what do you want?"
"Captain the meetings about to start what's taking so long?" Omaeda asked.
"Hey it's the big guy." Hawk said standing up. "I'm Hawk and I wanted to thank you too, for helping me the other day." Hawk said holding out his hand.
"Oh yeah, no problem." Omaeda said, not expecting to see him. "Um Captain you two didn't um…you know?"
Soi Fon punched him in the face, hard, sending him rolling back into a wall. "Don't you ever say or think something like that ever again, you Disgusting Animal!" She yelled, blushing.
Hawk walked up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder. "See, I told you're strong." He smirked.
"Shut up." She said stomping out to go to the Captains meeting.
Hawk walked over to Omaeda to help him up. "Come on Big Fella'." He said pulling him up. "Now let's go check out the Captain's Meeting."
"But Vice-Captains don't go to Captain's Meetings. We wait outside." Omaeda told him.
"That's disappointing. Let's go anyways. Maybe we can spy on it."
They used their Flash Step to get where the Captain's Meetings are held. Soi Fon was waiting for Omaeda outside. "Hurry up, Vice-Captains have to attend today! Hawk wait out here." She shouted.
"Sorry Captain, I didn't know." Omaeda said.
Soi Fon had already turned her back on them and was walking in. Omaeda quietly followed and Hawk stood there intending on staying and waiting. "Don't just stand there, follow them." Eclipse said.
"No, I not supposed to." Hawk told him.
"I agree with Eclipse. This is for the purpose of regaining your memory." Nighthawk said.
"I guess you're right."
He moved quick and slipped through the door before it closed. "How dare you come here and think you can disrupt this meeting!" Yamamoto shouted.
"Don't worry, I just came to observe." Hawk answered.
"Hawk, I told you to wait outside!" Soi Fon shouted.
"Captain Soi Fon, you know this man?" Yamamoto asked.
"Yes sir, he's a friend." Soi Fon answered.
"Yeah I met a lot of the Captains yesterday. I met the scary guy." Hawk said pointing at Kenpachi. "I met Captain Unohana. And I me Shunsui and Joshiro."
"You still can't be here. Leave!" Yamamoto ordered.
"I can't do that."
"Do you intend to go against the Captain-Commander?" Captain Komomura asked stepping forward.
"Oh my god, you are the coolest guy I've ever seen!" Hawk shouted.
"Answer my question!"
"Oh sorry. No, I don't intend to go against him, I just want to see if this will jog my memory." Hawk explained.
Yamamoto could tell Hawk had truly lost his memory. "Hmm, you can stay as long as you're quiet." Hawk went and stood against the back wall. "As you all know Vice-Captain Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki have left to help Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki in rescuing Orihime Inoue. Their haste has left us with no choice but to contact Kisuke Urahara so he could create a way to Hueco Mundo."
"I volunteer my services." Byakuya said.
"There is no need for volunteer. I've already decided who will go. Captain Kuchiki, Captain Zaraki, Captain Kurotsuchi and Captain Unohana. It is required you take your Vice-Captains with you and Hanataro Yamada will accompany Captain Kuchiki." Yamamoto said. There was a knock at the door. "You may enter."
Kisuke and Yoruichi walked in. "Hello everybody. How are you all doing?" Kisuke greeted with a grin.
"Kisuke, get on with the explanation." Yamamoto ordered.
"Well I have stabilized the Garganta to Hueco Mundo and finished the pillars that will transfer Karakura Town to the Soul Society. So all you have to do is set up for the ambush."
"The ambush will commence tomorrow. Get anything you need tonight. Oh, and Captain Kyoraku please refrain from drinking tonight." Yamamoto said.
"Sure thing Old Man Yama." Shunsui said, earning a glare.
"Those who are going to Hueco Mundo will leave today so I have time to prepare for my attack." Kisuke said.
"You are dismissed." Yamamoto said.
The Captains and Vice-Captains left to prepare for the ambush. Except Soi Fon, she waited for Yoruichi to finish her conversation with Kisuke. Kisuke waved for Hawk to come over. "Glad you made it out of Hueco Mundo alright. Ichigo said you flew into the Garganta after Tousen." Kisuke said.
"So did you figure anything out?" Yoruichi asked.
"Sort of, I have memories of the blonde haired Espada, Tia Halibel. She was wearing a Shihakusho and Captain's Jacket." Hawk explained.
"Interesting. I think there is something I can do to help." Kisuke said.
"What would that be?" Hawk inquired.
"I'll leave a small hole in the barrier so you can retrieve her when she's vulnerable. That way we can figure out who she is. What do you think?" Kisuke suggested.
"That would work. Let's do it."
"Okay, tomorrow be outside the barrier and wait for your moment to strike." Kisuke told him.
"I will, thanks." Hawk said.
Kisuke and Yoruichi turned to take their leave, but they were stopped by Soi Fon. "Lady Yoruichi, do you have time to talk?" She asked timidly.
"I'm sorry Soi Fon, but I have to help Kisuke with his preparations." Yoruichi said.
"Oh okay. Next time then." Soi Fon said with a fake smile. Yoruichi smiled back, then she left with Kisuke.
"Now I understand what you meant by lost the one you loved. Come on let's go talk about it." Hawk said. Soi Fon nodded and they headed back to the Squad 2 barracks.
They were sitting on the roof and Hawk was having trouble getting her to talk to him, she was still apprehensive about opening up to anyone. "Come on you can talk to me. It's not like I'll tell anyone, I don't know anyone. That's why I want you to talk to me, so I have an important person in my life. So please talk to me, I'm your friend." Hawk pleaded.
"I don't know. There isn't much to say. She left with Kisuke and left me behind. She's in love with him and only has platonic love for me." Soi Fon said.
"But she does love you and that's something. It's not like she's using you for some sick game. And I bet she would have preferred to stay here with you today, because Kisuke can be really weird." Hawk said trying to make her feel better. "Now come on give me a smile."
"I don't feel like it." She said with a sigh.
"Don't make me tickle it out of you." Hawk threatened.
"You'd be wasting your time, I'm not ticklish." Soi Fon said.
"Unfortunately for you all of nothing I do is a waste of time." Hawk said wiggling his fingers at her. Soi Fon's eyes widened realizing he was actually going to do it. She went to jump up and escape but it was too late.
"Stop, stop, stop! I lied…I am ticklish…now stop!" She pleaded, through her laughter.
"Only if you smile." Hawk said.
"Fine, fine… I'll smile… just stop!" He stopped and moved back to where he was sitting. She sat up and grinned. Hawk could tell she wasn't faking. "You're a jerk, but thank you."
"That's what friends are for." He said. He laid back and closed his eyes. "Hey, do you wanna make out?" He asked.
"What? Of course not! Why would you ask me that?" Soi Fon shouted, blushing.
"To see if your reaction would be funny." Hawk answered laughing. Soi Fon punched him in the face. "Eh, it was worth it." He said, rubbing his nose.
"Why do you ask those kinds of questions?" She asked, still blushing slightly.
"Because you're not use to them so your reactions are great. I did the same thing to Kurosaki when I had to baby-sit. I was the only way he'd talk to me."
"Hawk, you're so weird." She told him.
"Very true, but the best type of people are weird."
