Chapter 36: Yachiru Vs Daisuke
Back in the World of the Living, the small child, Daisuke, was wandering around with his sketchpad and colored pencils. The little boy didn't enjoy fighting; he only did it when he was told to. He had no need for revenge since his death, along with his mother's, was from a simple hiking accident. The only reason why he didn't openly go against fighting was so that he could stay with the group. Especially Chiharu, Ritsu, and Yui. While walking around, he sensed immense spiritual pressure coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw a tall man with a child on his shoulder. The man had spiky hair with bells on the tips. It was very unusual to the boy. The girl had light pink hair, similar to Mia.
"Yachiru, this kid has some spiritual pressure. Do you think he's one of them?" the tall man in a white robe asked.
The pink haired child jumped off of the man and walked towards Daisuke. "I think so."
"U-Umm, I'm Daisuke," the small boy greeted.
"I'm Yachiru! Are you in the group of humans that started a rebellion towards Soul Society?"
"Umm, I think so. I guess."
"Yachiru, step aside. I'll handle this." Kenpachi announced.
"No," Yachiru replied, "I want this one."
"Huh?"
"I'll handle it."
"…Fine."
"Umm… I don't want to fight." Daisuke said.
"Sorry, Dai-Dai! You don't really have a choice!"
"Dai-Dai…?"
Yachiru pulled out her zanpakuto, frightening the young boy. In an instant, she appeared right behind him. The girl swung down with all of her might as her captain watched on a roof. Daisuke yelped and quickly jumped out of the way. He barely made it, and while jumping from the attack, he scraped a part of his leg. Tears formed in his eyes. The boy stood up and placed his sketchbook in front of him. Pulling out yellow and orange colored pencils, he quickly sketched a drawing of a ferocious looking lion.
"Hmm?" Yachiru said.
Daisuke then ripped out the sheet of sketchbook paper and with a swift movement, a lion appeared.
"A lion?"
"…Go."
"Daisuke?" Chiharu said, suddenly stopping.
"What?" Orihime asked the girl.
"Daisuke is fighting..."
"Let's go help him!"
"…We can't."
"What do you mean!? He's a little boy up against a shinigami! He needs help!"
"Daisuke is strong. Besides, we have our own task at hand."
"But-"
"No buts. We have to keep going. He'll be fine."
"Are you sure, Chiharu-san?"
"Yeah… He has to be…" Chiharu mumbled.
The lion leapt towards Yachiru, but being faster, she easily avoided it. Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain at her leg. Looking down, she saw a tiny army figure stabbing her with a tiny sword.
"Why didn't you draw him bigger?" Yachiru asked, flash-stepping next to him.
Daisuke jumped back and answered, "I didn't want to hurt you…"
Yachiru tilted her head to the side. "I was taught not to show mercy. It doesn't matter if you are a kid. I'll kill you."
"…I understand."
Yachiru tilted her head to the other side and calmly walked towards him. "Why do you work with them?"
"…Yamato brought me back to life… it would be rude if I just left. My friends are there too… They are my only family; they are all I have left after mommy died."
"I see…"
Yachiru once again flash-stepped by the boy and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying into the ground. A crater formed and blood spurted out of his mouth. Pulling out a green colored pencil, he scribbled a monster into his sketchbook. Swinging the paper, the monster came to life. It was humongous. Yachiru, within a blink of an eye, leapt up and sliced the monster in two, causing tears to fall from Daisuke's eyes. The boy covered his eyes and started to sob.
"…I don't like seeing… things die…" he said between sobs. "I just want this… to stop!"
"Ken-chan, let's go." Yachiru said.
"Huh?"
"He isn't a threat. You heard him and saw his powers."
"Showing mercy, huh?"
"I guess so."
"What if the old man finds out about this?"
"He won't."
"Alright then. Hey, kid, be grateful that this brat here is generous."
Daisuke, who was hiccupping due to the crying, glanced up at the two. He smiled brightly through the tears and said, "Thank you, Yachiru!"
"Bye, Dai-Dai! Wait, can you draw me something really quick?"
"Umm, sure!"
"Draw me a small slime monster!"
Daisuke laughed and did as he was told. A small, green slime monster appeared and went towards Yachiru. She picked it up and laughed.
"Ken-chan! Can we keep him?"
"No, let's go."
"Fine."
Yachiru walked towards Daisuke and handed him the slime monster. "Can you take care of him for me, Dai-Dai?"
Daisuke grinned and took the green monster from her. The two children shook hands and parted ways, wondering what would happen next in this ridiculous war.
Author's Note: Yeah, violence obviously isn't my thing. Oh well! Next chapter's preview: "Hello, my name is Ritsu," the small, blonde child greeted. "This is Naoki-kun." So the next chapter is 2 vs 2! One team is obviously Ritsu and Naoki, who do you think the other duo is? :) See you next time!
