A Vampire's Bloodshed: Chapter 21
It was broad daylight as people around Karakura were enjoying themselves, enjoying their freetime.
Moka was walking through the hallway of the school, every male and females gawking at her shocked. Moka had become a little uncomfortable being under their gaze. Moka blushed from being stared at too long by the male students. 'I hope changing into a different school uniform wasn't too much of a bad idea.' Moka thought to herself. The problem that she was coping with, was changing into Karakura's school uniform, and the skirt was a little too short to her dismay. 'Even when I'm in a different uniform, a guy gawks at me like that. Why can't they gawk at some of the other girls around here, besides me?'
"Moka-chan!" a voice screamed out to her. She turned around to see her newspaper club friends, walking towards her and...wearing Karakura's school uniform. "You guys...why are you dressed like that?"
Kurumu just smiled towards Moka. "Well, let's just say that we want to change the way we do things in life." she said as girls agreed.
"You're going to stop being pushy and agressive?" Moka asked.
Kurumu nodded. "That's right. I'm going to stop doing those things, I did back at Yokai Academy." she put on a serious look. "And this time we mean it. We're going to change our ways." she said with a smile. Moka smiled as well, knowing that her friends had changed for real. "But this time..." Moka stared at Kurumu, seeing a wicked smile upon her face. "Ichigo's all mine."
"Kurumu!"
"Okay okay! I was just kidding." Kurumu laughed. "Besides, who doesn't want a hunk like him? I mean, c'mon he's hot." Kurumu flashed a grin.
Moka stared back at Kurumu with a gloomy look. "Yeah."
Yukari saw this and became worried. "What's wrong? Why the long face?"
"Did you and Ichigo get in a fight?" Kokoa asked.
Moka turned away from her friends with a depressed look. "No...it's not that. It's just that I'm worried about Uryu. He hasn't been talking to anyone lately, since that woman died." Moka gripped onto the silver bracelet on her wrist, Yoshino had wore before she died. "Not only that, but when I was there...on the day of that woman's death, I had this warm and fuzzy feeling inside me. I didn't know what was going on...it just felt like that warmth was forced inside me or something, but I just don't know what it is." Moka explained. The girls looked into their own direction, feeling bad for not comforting Uryu in some way. He was depressed and that's what made them sad. It felt like the whole new bond between Ichigo and Moka's friends weren't complete. After all, they were friends.
The newspaper club and Ichigo's friends were ontop of the roof, discussing about what had happened the other day. "What in the world...could they be planning?" Ichigo asked, replaying the memory of the other day.
"Ichigo, just asking that over and over, isn't gonna give you the answer." Rukia interjected.
"But not knowing is so aggravating." Ichigo groaned.
"It was on the news today." Chad informed as the group looked towards him. "They said that people from all over, have suddenly been disapearring."
"Does that mean..." Orihime trailed off, trying to find the answer.
Mizore looked towards Orihime. "The bounts must have something to do with this." Mizore said. "Those things they released, must be attacking people."
Ichigo scoffed with annoyance. "And as usual, Ririn and her little friends didn't pick up anything with their sensors either." Ichigo stated. "The bounts are behind this, but we don't even know where their hiding." Ichigo sat up and looked towards Renji for information. "Hey, Renji. What have you heard from the Soul Society? Do they even know what's going on here?"
"The stealth force seems to be here, but that's all I really know. They haven't told me anything else." Renji replied.
"Then I guess..." Rukia put a finger to her chin. "that we're gonna have to concentrate on finding the bounts and those flying monsters ourselves."
"Is there a way to do that?" Chad inquired.
"Right now, Urahara is busy working on a powerful new sensor, I asked him to make for us." Rukia stated. "But we can't wait for it. Until the sensor's finished, we just have to hit the streets and hope we get lucky, and run into them."
"Poor Uryu. I hope he'll be alright." Orihime sympathized. Ichigo and Moka both stared at her. "He seems like he's still in shock over Yoshino's death. I tried to get him to talk about it, but he barely said two words to me. I'm really worried about him." As Orihime explained about Uryu, she tighten her grip on the silver bracelet.
All was silent, until Chad spoke up. "Unfortunately, there isn't really anything we could do to help him."
"Uryu is falling in love with the bount woman, huh? What an idiot." Renji commented.
Hearing that last sentence, Moka shadowed her eyes with her pink bangs, trying her hardest not to cry. She didn't know Yoshino that well, but she understood how Uryu was hurting over her death. She didn't like what she was hearing from Renji. Moka stood up from her area, alerting everyone's attention towards her. "I'm sorry. Could you ecuse me?" Moka said, quickly running away from the group and into the building.
Kurumu noticing by Moka's actions, glared at Renji. "Way to go, Renji."
Renji stared at Kurumu, obviously confused. "What I do that was so wrong?" Renji snapped.
"You opened up your big mouth and it hurt Moka's feelings, you jerk!" Kurumu barked, before taking off after Moka.
Renji stared after Kurumu, really confused. "What the hell is her problem?"
Ichigo glared towards Renji, for being this dense and making his girlfriend cry. "You really are stupid as you look, aren't you?"
"What did you say?" Renji barked.
"Don't make fun of him. You oughta show a little respect." Ichigo scolded.
"Oh yeah?" Renji questioned, his sight set on Ichigo. "That's good. And what would you know about being respectful?" Renji retorted.
"What are you trying to say?" Ichigo yelled, this time angry.
"That's enough!" Kokoa said, breaking up the fight.
"Honestly... Is there anything, you two won't argue about?" sighed Rukia, her eyes closed, before glaring towards the two. "This is not the time to be fighting among ourselves."
Elsewhere in the forest, the sun shined over the entrance of the bounts hidout. "Gentlemen. Please do not dwell on the fact that we are beginning the final phase of our plans within the very cave where we lost numerous comrades several hundred years ago. With our goal here at hand, the grudge of our brethren should enable us to attain unlimited power. " From inside, the members of the Bounts, all had their sights set upon their leader. "It seems that Soul Society has made their move, but we have nothing to worry about. The minerals in the rock walls, surrounding this place, shut out all spiritual pressure. Not only that, the bodies of our newly born dolls, also contains larger amounts of that same mineral." Kariya's members stared at him, understanding every word he spoke. "This then, is a time to restore our energies. Now then, gentlemen. For those who haven't seen them, here are the products of this recent research." He outstrechted his arm out beside him. "Bittos!" he chanted, snapping his fingers. A blue misquito-like bug came flying downward infront of Kariya. "These amazing creatures, suck up the souls from living humans and then deliver their contents back to us. These dolls were made using technology that Ugaki and I engineered."
Ugaki smiled, satisfied with their work. Yoshi had become bewildered and impressed of their plan. "Hmm? So, that's what you were up to?"
"Sadly, their creation required us the sacrifice one of our friends." Kariya added.
"What's the difference between using the dolls, Master Kariya and simply sucking out people's souls ourselves?" Sawatari inquired. "Surely, it's not just that it's less risky for us."
"The spirit energy these Bitto collect has been highly purified. In addition, it is concentrated. Henceforth, we will begin absorbing the souls that have been forbidden to us until now, and then we will store that energy inside ourselves. As a result, our powers will leap tens of times their current levels."
The others seemed astonished by Kariya explaining about "tens of times". "Is this true?" Yoshi asked.
Ugaki smiled in response. "Of course. This is a fact."
"With this new power, we will finally be able to fulfill our most cherished wish." Kariya complied. "I will be first. Burn this into your eyes... The moment that the laws of our race changed and forever altered our history!" The Bitto opened up half of its body, revealing something that looked to be a purple bottle. Kariya poored it into a whine glass, shining off the red liquid to everyone before gulping it down. He let out a grunt as his whole body begin to glow. Everyone stared at Kariya, seeing if anywhere on his body will change. Surely enough, Kariya's skin had started to grow vains. The blue-crystaled chandlier had began to glow above them as power from the living souls were absorbed within his body. Kariya was hungry for power. Desperate for power. The glow surrounding his body, begin to disappear. "All pain and regret has been washed away. I feel nothing now, but joy and amensed power! How wonderful!" he said with hunger and happiness.
"I see." Yoshino replied, fascinated. "Obviously, the Bittos really do conentrate the souls in their bodies. It's more powerful than I expected." Yoshi licked her lips in hunger. "Yes."
Mabashi just scoffed, alerting Yoshi. "You can drink it, if you want to. But count me out."
"Mabashi..." Koga started.
"Are you all really going to go along with this? Are you serious?" Mabashi asked, not too satisfied with Kariya's new experiment.
"Oh, are you afraid, Mabashi? What a baby." sneered Yoshi.
"That's not it! We're talking about breaking the laws of our race!" Mabashi persuaded towards the group, before turning to Sawatari. "Right, Sawatari?"
"What is it, Mabashi?"
"I know all about it. A long time ago, you absorbed a large number of living souls." Mabashi mentioned.
"That is a very old story."
"And now look at the results, old man!" he persisted, getting angry. "Its aged you by a hundred and fifty years! Which is why it was taboo, you fool!"
"You're so annoying. What matters, is that we're going to gain power. It isn't like we can ever die or anything." Yoshi pointed out.
"What are you talking about?" Mabashi asked, angrly.
"Calm down, everyone." Ugaki spoke gently, stepping in between them. "Let's not ruin Master Kariya's moment in history here. Afterall, we're on the same side in this, aren't we? Please allow me to take a few seconds and explain how I-"
"Shut up! I don't wanna hear it!" Mabashi roared, grabbing a hold of Ugaki's shirt. "This goes beyond breaking the laws, it's an abomination!"
"Watch it, Mabashi." Koga admonished, this time getting offensive. Koga's eyes widen, stopping his actions.
Mabashi let out a grunt, hearing a footstep behind him follow by a chuckle. "In this world, there is always a pro and con to everything. It's not wrong to insist upon your opinion." Mabashi feeling astonished, took a step back. "Ordinarily." Directing his deep red pupils within his conrad, he hauled a punch towards Mabashi, sending him into a wall, creating a huge crater. Others behind Kariya watched, letting him suffer his punishment for not having control of his mouth. Kariya walked towards him, calmly. Mabashi coughed out, due to the hard impact he recieved from his master. Before anything else could happen, he recieved a foot from Kariya, sending him further into the wall. Kariya took a hold of his head and hauled him over his shoulder onto the ground. Kariya moved towards Mabashi's head and steps on it, hard enough to make him cry out. "Mabashi, the next time your opinion differs from mine, be aware that expressing it, may cost you your life. But by all needs, say whatever you like." Kariya admonished, kicking him upwards towards another wall. Kariya turned back to the group. "As I told you once before; from now on, I am the law of the bount tribe."
Night had already came. Moka was relaxing on her bed, the events just happening today retracting back in her head. She didn't like what Renji said about Uryu. She knew that Uryu had a reason for trying to protect Yoshino from any danger, so why couldn't Renji accept that? 'All this over Yoshino's death, must be really to hard on him. He seemed really desparate to protect her that day. And when she passed on the another world, he couldn't seem to accept that she was gone. What really made me confused, was that a warmth feeling had been forced inside me without knowing. I didn't know what it was. It wasn't from being near Ichigo, it was something else.' She was in her own little world of thoughts, when she heard a noise from behind her. She quickly turned to see one of those blue things again. Moka stared on in fear, not knowing what to do. The couldn't pull of her rosary and to top it all off, the girls were hanging out with Ichigo and the others at Urahara's shop, so she was screwed. 'H-How did that thing get in hear?' The blue misquito advanced towards her, only to miss by her running off downstares. Moka grabbed one of her shoes and took a swing at it, only to miss over and over. Moka dropped her shoe, seriously not knowing what to do. Moka rushed her hands in front of her, letting out a shriek as the misquito advanced towards her, hungry for her blood. That is until...the warm feeling had came back within inside her. She watched as flames were engulfing the misquito, burning it into a crisp. Moka stared at the ashes that lied on the floor. "What just happened? What was that just now?" Moka asked herself. Moka glanced down at the silver bracelet that was glowing bright green. "What's happening? Why is it glowing?"
"You're possessing new power." a female voiced ranged in her head. Strangly, it was not the other Moka's voice.
