I Found A Friend: Chapter 9- History Repeats Itself
A/N: This story will be ten chapters long. I have everything planned out, and there will be no more, no less. At the end of this story, I will give a brief disclaimer and synopsis for all of you who didn't understand, just to clear things up. It's also for those of you know need their theories cleaned up.
All through breakfast, Ichigo had a slightly red face. She was bombarded with questions- even from Zakuro- about why she her face was so red this early in the morning. In the end, the girls suggested that she was just coming down with something, and that she head for bed immediately after breakfast. Ichigo happily went to her room, glad to be out of the crossfire of inquiries. As she walked down the quiet hall, she saw Kimmu cautiously coming out of her room. Ichigo was about to run over to the girl, when she caught sight of some bandages wrapped around the girl's thighs, and she could see a bit of the bandages that were wrapped around the wrist of the hand that Kimmu rested on the door handle. Ichigo had completely forgotten to tell Kisshu about the strange man.
Kimmu- for a reason unbeknownst to Ichigo- was nervous. She was nervous because of what she was about to do for 'them'. As Kimmu turned around, she saw Ichigo staring at her bandages. She suddenly felt uncomfortable as she walked over to Ichigo, ready to commence 'their' orders. She took a few breaths to calm herself. Kimmu put on a fake smile, and walked over to the older girl.
Ichigo could see that Kimmu was straining a smile, and she could also see that the girl looked a bit nervous. Ichigo decided to play along with the little façade.
"Good Morning," Ichigo greeted, eyeing the girl. Kimmu simply nodded.
"Uh, Kimmu? I need you to come with me," Ichigo tried to get her to Kisshu's office.
"Actually," the girl interrupted in her small voice, "Ichigo-nee, I need you to help me with something." Ichigo could hear the nervous crack of Kimmu's voice. Ichigo nodded and followed the girl as she walked, merely trying to figure out what was bothering her. Ichigo could see they were headed to a forested area outside the south gate. She began to get worried.
Kimmu felt sick to her stomach. She couldn't believe she was doing this for 'their' sake. If she brought Ichigo to 'them', 'they' would leave her alone, right? And Ichigo was Mew Ichigo. She too, could escape from 'them', right? Kimmu tried to reason with herself. She shivered at the thought of what 'they' would do to her, if Ichigo was not as strong as they would want her to be. She sighed to herself.
Kimmu suddenly stopped and so did Ichigo. She slowly turned around to face the older girl. Ichigo had no idea what was going on, but she was about to find out.
"Forgive me…. Ichigo-nee," Kimmu said as she held Ichigo in a restrictive hold, and teleported to 'their' headquarters...
Kisshu had decided to resume his work before it started piling up again. At This rate, he could have at least every afternoon off for a few days. He smirked to himself, thinking about all the things he could do during those off afternoons- concerning Ichigo. As he got back to his now neat desk, he saw an envelope on it. Curious, he picked it up and read the labeling.
To Kisshu-nii, From Kimmu.
Kimmu would have come straight to him, not write a letter if she needed to tell him something. Shocked and concerned, he opened it up and read the letter's contents.
'This will come as a surprise to you, but I have been working with the rebels from the day you met me. I was assigned to get as close to you as possible, although I didn't really know until I was ten, so I could bring you to them. They were planning to extract your power, to create the strongest Chimera and rule out the government in Deep Blue's name. I have used Ichigo-nee as a substitute to distract the rebel leader and to buy you some time, while you get your troops and come over as quickly as possible. Here is the location…'
As Kisshu read the letter, his eyes widened. He could not believe what he had just read. Kimmu was being used by the rebel leader, just to get to him. He had to set out. Immediately.
A/N: Okay this chapter was basically a filler, to get chapter ten flowing. What's going to happen to Kimmu and Ichigo? Will Kisshu make it on time? To get your questions answered, review for the final chapter! :D
