The Past Always Comes Back to Haunt You

Chapter 9

Authors note:

Oxymoron: Hello Everyone I'm back and I'm so sorry for how extremely late this is, but I swear things have gotten really busy for me but I'm back.

Naomi: She's right but I hope you'll enjoy this chapter, and Oxymoron has an announcement for you.

Oxymoron: I don't want to say it, but I guess I have to, there will only be one more chapter of this story and then it's done, however I'm thinking of writing a sequel and if any of you want me to write it let me know in a review. Alright Naomi let's get started do the disclaimer.

Naomi: Oxymoron 2011 does not own Bleach that honor belongs to Tite Kubo.

Oxymoron: Let's go!!

Naomi slowly opened her eyes, unlike the first time she woke up after her battle with Kariya she was not laying down comfortably in a warm hut, no now Naomi found herself on the floor of a strange house, she noticed that her hair had had been taken out of her trademark braid and was falling in curly strands down her back, and she was by no means comfortable as she felt her hands tied behind her back.

Naomi was frightened before she smirked slightly, "You really think simple ties can stop me". She then attempted to use her telekinetic abilities to undo the ties, but she couldn't feel anything. "What's going on with my powers"? She then heard a laugh from a doorway.

Kariya then appeared and walked straight to Naomi and leaned against the wall very close to her. "You can't use your powers to get out of that hold, little girl, those bonds are made of a special material able to block off any spiritual abilities."

Naomi pulled herself up into a sitting position and faced Kariya, "What do you want with me." She said, Kariya smirked slightly "I will tell you that all in good time little girl, but right now I'm going to tell you something that your probably wondering about as well." Naomi rolled her eyes "Actually I'm only really wondering why you kidnapped me, but go ahead."

Kariya sneered at her, "I am going to tell you why I'm mounting this attack on the soul society, We were an innocent race created by Soul Reapers as an experiment, however the soul Reapers feared us and launched an attack on our kind, we were forced out of Soul Society and into the world of the living, a lot of us were killed off by hollows shortly after and then I found a small group of bounts some who knew what they were others that did not, and we got together and planned to get our revenge".

Naomi's eyes widened she was shocked, it was a horrible thing to do, however she was having trouble feeling sorry for the people who were holding her captive. "Well what does this have to do with me? Why are you telling me this?" Kariya smirked.

"Because little girl you are one that I missed, you are a bount." He said fully turning to face her. Naomi's mouth dropped open, "you're wrong, you're completely insane." She said Kariya then frowned. "Had you never thought about it, child, our kind lived in the world of the living for centuries, some believing they were indeed human, however we had strange abilities. Does that sound familiar to you?"

Naomi looked away she had wondered about that a lot, but if Kariya thought she was going to follow him now he was dead wrong. "I don't care if I am in fact a bount I would never follow a sick bastard such as you." She said confidently. Kariya's frown deepened and he closed the short distance between them; he then slapped her across the face so hard she fell back into a lying position.

He squatted down and whispered menacingly in her ear, "Listen little girl, I am offering you answers and a spot on the winning side, I will not tolerate such insolence from you." He moved to stand back up. "Go to hell" Naomi said. Kariya growled and kicked her in the stomach before leaving the room. Naomi closed her eyes feeling the bruise form on her stomach and fell asleep again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (time skip, with Ichigo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ichigo had figured out a lot over the past couple of days, he had found out why the bounts were attacking, and how many were left to be defeated and that was Kariya. Ichigo had yet to go see Rukia and Naomi, but he was worried about both girls, instead he focused on finishing this battle as soon as possible.

(With Naomi)

Naomi grunted as Kariya pushed her roughly to the ground on the soukioku hill, "This battle is going to end here, little girl, now is your chance to fight by my side." Naomi looked up at him "never" she said, and braced herself. Kariya then kicked her roughly in the side before pulling her up and placing her on a nearby rock. "You will help me little girl, even if you don't want to." He said before leaving once again.

(with Ichigo)

Ichigo stood up straight as he sensed the presence, "Kariya it's time to end this." He stood and drew his zanpactou. He took off and did not have to search long to find the man. The two clashed swords for a while before Kariya took off to another area of Soul Society.

Uryuu was standing with some of the others when he noticed Rukia and Renji leaving the squad six barracks together. He was confused and approached the two of them. "Where are you going." He asked the two, it was Renji who replied. "Rukia wants to go to soukioku hill." He nodded in response and then realized something.

"Where is Naomi" he asked. Both Renji and Rukia shrugged their shoulders. "How should we know?" asked Rukia. Uryuu's mouth dropped "You mean she didn't come here." He asked getting more nervous with each sentence. They both shook their heads. Uryuu groaned "Naomi told us she was going to watch over you." Both soul reapers eyes widened. "Oh no Naomi where are you?" Rukia asked quietly.

Ichigo and Kariya were continuing to clash their weapons Ichigo realized where Kariya was heading and yet he was still following him through the path trying to stop them before they got there. Meanwhile Rukia was trying to sense Naomi spiritual pressure along with the others, "Wait I got it, it's really faint but its there." Everyone turned to the dark haired soul reaper.

"Where is she?" Renji asked, Rukia sighed and pointed. Everyone turned and saw that Rukia was pointing at the Shrine of Penitence, "You mean she's on…?" Uryuu started, "Soukioku hill yes, and Ichigo is headed that way now." She finished. "Let's hurry" Renji said and the others took off towards the hill.

Ichigo and Kariya had reached the hill and were now standing feet away from each other. Kariya turned and said to Ichigo, "Do you know what this place is?" Ichigo never once taking his eyes off Kariya's answered "Yeah I'm familiar with it." Kariya's smirked slightly.

"Then you know how this place is perfect for our battle." He said and Ichigo nodded "Yeah I can see that." Kariya's smirk widened "Well before we begin, I have one more question for you." He said turning and grabbing a something from behind a rock. "Do you recognize this girl?" he said pulling Naomi foreword.

"Naomi No!" Ichigo shouted making a move to run foreword to the girl. But Kariya had made his wind blade appear and held it to Naomi's neck. "I don't think you want to do that." He said and Ichigo stopped in his tracks and took in Naomi's appearance.

He noticed that her hair was falling down her back and not tied back, and that her arms were tied tightly behind her back, he also noticed the various bruises and scars on her body which led Ichigo to assume that Kariya had beaten her. He tightened his grip on his sword knowing that if he attacked now Kariya wouldn't hesitate to kill her.

"Ichigo" Naomi shouted to him "I'll be okay just take him down." Ichigo looked at her there was no way he was going to risk that. Kariya let out a laugh "Yes Ichigo you can take me down, but is it worth losing this girl."
