--Moments Before--
Kon couldn't believe what he was seeing. First, the girl was helping the guys in their fights. Now, she says she wants to eat them?? "Just what the fuck is going on??"
"Can't you see?? Arisawa's gone crazy!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!" Keigo said, stirring up a panic with the other students. Hey, if one of the best fighters in your school snapped, you'd run for the hills too, wouldn't you?
"Now, now everyone…Don't pay any attention to Asano-san. I'm sure Arisawa –san has a valid reason for beating up Ichigo…and Chad…and Ishida…"Mizuiro said despite his nervousness, in an attempt to calm everyone down.
But, apparently, that's not going to work. Chizuru, whose nose was currently bleeding because she had run smack into a goal post earlier, was leaning over the rooftop's railing, shouting something. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY HI--"
"Chizuru! Quiet! Arisawa might come here and we'll be the ones in trouble!" Ryou said, placing a firm grip over the red-haired girl's mouth.
"Impossible! That can't be Tatsuki! Usually she'd be the one keeping punches away from Orihime! Not the other way around!"
Michiru was watching the two girls squabble as she stepped back and felt something sticky on her foot. 'Eeeewwww…I got gum on my new shoes…' She then looked under her foot, and then noticed that the thing she stepped on wasn't gum.
'Huh? This isn't gum… and why won't it come off…?' Michiru thought to herself, pondering at the gunk she stepped on, which was now glowing going from the color grey to the color black. The brown-haired girl could only wonder as she then felt more of the gunk drop onto her head.
'Oh crap! Not my hair--' Michiru was then cut off as she looked up, and saw where exactly the sticky stuff came from. "Err… Girls…."
"If she won't, why do I see her doing just that downstairs?!"
"Girls…."
"But I'm telling you--"
"GIRLS!!"
"What?!" Both Ryo and Chizuru then looked to where they saw Michiru pointing, and the two teenagers could only gape in shock.
"Oi. Teme."
Chapter 10: Enter the Tardy!! Heroes Arise From Gum!!
There, on the top of another building, was a white-haired girl, tail now a clump of white spikes. Her fur and hair had gotten so spiky that the strong wind couldn't even move it. Her grey claws, which she had now stopped shaking, were covered in what used to be a binding material. A white aura surrounded her, one of the minor proofs that she was flaring with reiatsu.
"That was pretty smart that you bound me during the explosion. Pretty smart, if you were a hollow. You're pretty dumb for a pseudo-arrancar." The new arrival smirked. "But what's even more stupid is that you actually helped in destroying your allies."
"So? I'm a greedy one." The pseudo-arrancar on the ground yelled back. "But you'll have to wait your turn, girl. I'm gonna have her first!" It then faced the powerless Inoue and drove the clawed left arm downwards…
….only to be deflected by the right claw of the other girl.
Ta..
"Ok damn intruder. I know you have no idea what the unspoken rules of this school are, but right now, you broke two." She then pushed the other claw away and threw a punch towards the enemy.
"The first rule you broke…" Keigo and the others (Mizuiro, Mahana, Ryo, Michiru and Chizuru, to be exact) then felt the air suddenly fill with pressure. Although they had no idea about it, it was a definite sign that there was a mass reiatsu flare."…is that no one hurts my friends nor school property."
"NOW THAT'S THE ARISAWA I KNO--" A hand then clamped itself on Chizuru's mouth. "SHHHH!!"
"Oh really?? And I'm getting beat up cause of all the equipment I destroyed" was said as another pair of claws clashed. It was once again pushed away as the now angry girl clawed it straight at the face.
"Shut the fuck up and listen to me." 'Tatsuki's' face then had a claw mark on it, but then a considerable amount of skin then fell off, revealing a white mask.
Tatsu…
"What the hell? There are two Arisawas?" Keigo exclaimed, but was muffled by the wind.
"No! Look, that one's got some skin torn off! And is that a skull beneath it??" Mahana shouted in reply.
"That, my friends, is a pseudo-arrancar." Kon, in Ichigo's body, said. Hey, might as well not spoil a chance to make him…errr…Ichigo look better, right?
"Come to think about it, why is there another Ichigo down there when we Ichigo is up here with us??" Mizuiro questioned, looking back and forth between Kon and the unconscious Ichigo on the grounds.
"Er….it's my twin brother, separated at birth. Indeed, I never thought we'd be reunited this way…" Kon said, recalling that lame excuse.
"Seriously, dude, you take us way too lightly--"
"Shhhhhhhh!! This is the best part!" the girls said, leaning over the railing.
"Since when did this turn into an anime…?"
Another clash of claws could be heard from the grounds below. The dueling pair was evenly matched, having the same kind of weapons, not to mention the same looks. But, as Tatsuki started her counter-attack once again, the voices I her head were telling her just how to solve that.
'Born to the heaven.' One of them said as Tatsuki dodged another couple of blows that the arrancar was throwing at her.
'Spawned from the earth.' Tatsuki rolled as she hit the dirt. Her cheek had three very deep cuts on it. She was then punched in the stomach. And fell flat on her face.
'Call forth…your power.' the two voices said in unison. 'My…power...' Tatsuki thought. She was facing the dirt, having completely no idea how to do that. She got up, and saw her friends, lying in different positions, but all were hurt just the same. But, the thing that got her anger to get past its boiling point, was seeing Orihime, covered in scratches, bruises, blood, and tears.
"Hmm? What's the matter? Did I accidentally cut off your tongue?" the enemy snickered.
"You…you…bastard."
'Uh-oh''s were heard from all over the rooftop. The pseudo-arrancar was distracted by this, but when it turned back to where Tatsuki was standing, all that was left was a white blur. The next second, the monster was now on the ground, a foot…errr…claw planted firmly on its back.
"Now…where was I? Oh, right. The second and possibly the most important rule in this school…" The pseudo-arrancar looked up at its captor, and could only gape in shock at what it saw. "….Arisawa Tatsuki will beat the living shit out of whomever and whatever makes Orihime cry!!"
Tatsuki-chan!
Standing tall, proud, and not to mention angry, was a being neither hollow nor shinigami. She did not have a black shinigami outfit, nor a cool-looking sword, for what she was wearing was currently unknown, since she was now covered in white spikes. But, she did not have a white mask, nor a hole in her chest. There, on top of the gaping monster, was a red-eyed, single-tailed creature, breathing off something that resembles steam. "This, bastard, is my power. And I shall cherish every moment beating you with it."
Tatsuki then disappeared, leaving her enemy to get up quickly, but it was pushed back down as a claw was driven into its shoulder. "That's for Ichigo's shoulder."
The monster cried out, but was then grabbed and tossed upwards as Tatsuki tore off the rest of the skin on the monster's face, finally revealing a face comprised of a 3/4 white hollow mask and 1/4 human face. "Uryuu's pride. That's two."
It was then kicked in the jaw and the tail was cut off. "For Chad and that corny comment on walls, that's three. Too bad that all you can do is copy the original state of the target you bound, huh?"
Tatsuki then kicked her very weak target forward, not having any mercy. She then started a claw barrage on its back. "For Rukia and her Sode no Shirayuki…Now do you understand WHY it isn't a nice thing to insult someone's skills??"
"If you think that the hard part was over and there's only one left, you got it wrong. I saved the best for last." Then, Tatsuki applied every offensive move she had learned in her martial arts, putting in the use of her claws. At last, she finally chose to end the arrancar's flimsy life. Bringing her claw downwards, a voice stopped her from finishing the horrid thing.
'Kande(1).'
"Hehehehehe." Tatsuki's voice seemed to have sounded differently. The girl looked up, and her eyes had not a reddish hue with killer intent. They had yellow filled with pure instinct and reiatsu. The girl then let out something that sounded like a roar, and had her and the arrancar in the air. Then another barrage occurred, fully shredding the hollow to pieces as it disintegrated.
Yet, there was something strange about it. For, landing on all fours, her eyes returning to red, Tatsuki was gripping the hollows mask. Now, why is it so unusual? It's because the white-haired girl was actually holding it in between her teeth. Not noticing that fact, she stood up and smiled. "Haha…did it…"
Tatsuki fell unconscious, like her other friends. (Well, all except for Inoue.) But, the white-haired girl was caught by the purple-haired Yoruichi. "Yoruichi-san?"
"Oh, Inoue-san. I didn't notice you were awake. No need to worry. Tessai will take care of the students here. Jinta, Ururu and I will take the six of you to Urahara Shouten." Yoruichi paused to look at the unconscious Tatsuki. "She did good, huh?" she said, Inoue nodded in response. "Well, we must hurry to the shop. There's an explanation waiting there, for all of you."
(1)-Kande would mean bite, or chomp.
