(Bleach) Awake and Alive - Chapter 10: Back in the Sereitei
With a groan, Mikari slowly opened her eyes and looked around her surroundings. All she saw was a plain, white everywhere in the room. From the white walls to the white bed and the white kimono she was in and the white bandages on her body.
Her right eyebrow twitched at her environment. She was being held in one of her natural enemies: the hospital. Home of the doctor and the vicious needle. A shiver went down her spine at the thought.
Gaining her strength, Mikari sat upright just when the door to the room opened. There stood a tall women with a lieutenant armband on her uniform and a clipboard in hand.
'Good, your awake Shihoin-taicho." The woman walked over to the bed with a gentle smile. Mikari smiled back but also shook her head at the comment. "Please don't call me by my last name. Mikari is what I wish to be called by. And I'm not a taicho anymore either."
The woman blinked at Mikari with a confused look at first, but the brought back her smile. "Hai, Mikari-sama. Also my name is Isane Kotetsu, fuku-taicho of the 4th Division."
Mikari nodded and looked around the room again. Then she noticed something not in the room. "Um...where's my zanpakuto?" "Your sister took it after she brought you to the hospital to heal."
Silence filled the room awkwardly and the girls stared at one another with one of Mikari's eyebrows twitching like mad.
"NANI!"
"Thank you for all your reports. I'm glad to hear that all the shinigami in the Gotei 13 are helping out to repair the Sereitei from Diablo's attack."
Captain-Commander Yamamoto was holding a meeting with all the taicho's, including Ichigo and Yoruichi. They were discussing the matters on the Diablo attack and the damage.
"So Aizen was behind all of this just as Mikari said before the battle." Ichigo didn't mind being at this one meeting. He was interested on how Aizen was involved in more events then before, especially with Mikari revolving around them too.
"Yes." Yamamoto explained. "Aizen was not only behind bringing Diablo back, he was also one of the scientists that experimented on mikari long ago. She was right from the start that Aizen was evil and we should of listened to her. We also looked at the gifts Aizen gave her, when he tried to get her to like him. One of the gifts was a book that had a hypnotizing kido in it. Thankfully Mikari never opened it."
"Dammit!" Ichigo's fist clenched in anger. "Aizen has definitely gone too far!"
"That's enough Kurosaki." Byakuya said, slightly annoyed.
"Be happy!"
A hand hit Ichigo's back in a hard pat. "My little sister is back!" Yoruichi yelled out in joy, continuing to hit Ichigo's back.
KABOOM!
Everyone turned towards the open door to see smoke coming from the east side of the 4th Division.
"Does anyone wanna bet that was Mikari?" kyoraku said, a smirk on his face. Ukitake sighed at this. "Just like old times."
Then before anyone could comprehend what happened, a blur flew right into the room and went straight at Yoruichi. The two rolled on the ground and stopped with Yoruichi pinned down by Mikari.
Yoruichi couldn't help but smile at Mikari's pissed off face. "Yo sis! What's up?" "Don't act innocent! You put me in a bloody hospital, yet you of all people know that I detest it!' growled Mikari, baring her fangs slightly.
"You were hurt! Not only from the damage you got recently, but the wounds also from before too!" Yoruichi yelled back. "I don't care!"
During their quarrel, the newer captains were staring at the girls behavior in awe. The older ones couldn't help but laugh at their faces and say: "That's Mikari, get used of it." Their gaze then went back to the sisters who were still yelling at each other.
"Just calm down!"
"Hell no! Now where's Amaterasu?"
"Don't have it!"
"Then where is she?"
"I gave it to Ichigo..."
Mikari's head snapped up in a flash and slowly turned to Ichigo. He was sweating under Mikari's glare and nervously stepping from foot to foot. Behind his back, Mikari could see him holding Amaterasu.
"You bastard!"
Mikari got off of Yoruichi and charged at Ichigo with her fist out. Ichigo barely moved out of the way and looked back to see her fist in the wall.
Her glare didn't let down at all. "Why do you have my zanpakuto?" Ichigo gulped nervously at Mikari's growl. "Yoruichi told me to..." He choked out.
"Wonderful."
She flash stepped infront of Ichigo and kicked him in the balls. Ichigo fell to the floor and groaned in pain. Ignoring his pain, Mikari just bend down and stood back up with her zanpakuto in hand.
"Great show there Mikari."
Surprised at the voice, Mikari turned around and gasped at all the taichos in the room.
"Um...hello?" She let out a nervous laugh at the awkwardness. This was a great first meeting...sort of.
"Now don't worry. You all can introduce yourselves tonight. Mikari looked up at Yamamoto confused. "What's happening tonight?"
"Tonight's a party for you! So lets get ready!" Yoruichi replied happily. She then grabbed Mikari's tail and began to drag her out of the room.
Everyone in the room laughed at the whining Mikari, who was being dragged on the floor. Even Hitsugaya laughed a bit at the sight.
