Pairing: The Soul King and Coyote Starrk
10. The Soul King
"You…float creepily in the air. You hibernate for long periods of time. You probably want your authority to be respected. You're super strong, but you don't seem to fight."
So I will pair you with…Starrk! May the two of you spoon together in sleepy harmony!
The Soul King blinked his unique eyes at the thing that had just landed atop him. It wasn't really a thing but considering he only woke every thousand years or so, it was completely alien to him.
The thing was human shaped with messy brown hair to its shoulders. Its eyes were closed it sported a little goatee. The oddest thing was the jaw hanging around its neck. The Soul King touched it, felt like a hollow mask. Except this... human was not a hollow.
The human-hollow thing snored loudly, at least it was alive. What a hassle it would have been if it was dead. Then someone would have had to come in to his room. The Soul King craned his neck, surely if the human was a hollow it would have a hollow hole, exactly like the hole beneath the human-hollow's mask fragment thing. Honestly, asleep a thousand years and the entire world goes crazy. Maybe this was the next evolution of souls?
Jabbing the face of the hollow-human thing he noticed how soft the skin was. The thing gave another snore but didn't wake. The Soul King jabbed harder.
"What?" The thing mumbled, "Go away, Lilinette, sleeping."
"Who are you?" The Soul Kings voice was rough from disuse.
The thing opened its eyes revealing grey-blue orbs that fixed on the man who had awoken him.
"Coyote Starrk."
"What are you, Coyote Starrk?"
"Primera Espada of Aizen's Army of Arrancar."
The Soul King blinked in confusion. What was a Primera Espada, who was Aizen and what was an arrancar?
The thing, Coyote Starrk, as it had called itself saw the confusion evident on the taut feature of the King.
"I mean that I am the strongest of the army that Sosuke Aizen, a Shinigami, created from hollows who removed their masks making them Arrancar. Also, I think I'm dead."
The Soul King looked on at the man, he was definitely something new. Hollows having their masked removed, well that was new, and interesting… and probably dangerous. An army of hollows led by a shinigami seemed pretty implausible too, and again… probably dangerous.
Still, the Arrancar seemed liable to fall asleep again in a heartbeat. Hardly threatening and if the army was being led by a shinigami then obviously the Soul King had nothing to fear. It made enough sense to him that he lay back down. He really wanted just a couple months more sleep.
"Well then Coyote Starrk, you can return to your slumber and I will to mine. Goodnight."
Starrk looked at odd creature who had spoken to him, one eyebrow raised. It was certainly an interesting turn of events for him to be here but sleep was on offer and the bed seemed pretty comfortable, he was not going to turn that down.
The last one! Please review, feel free to correct my mistakes. And please I implore you to check out Bleach Lists. It's amazing!
