Daughters embrace
Letting out a yawn as she sat within the class room with her notebook open before her, Momochi Haku gave a bored look as she wrote the notes from the board into her book, her eyes drifted to her Boyfriend ahead of her while he too was slowly drifting to sleep land, making her softly snort at his actions before he snapped awake in time to avoid Miss Ochi from calling him out.
Staring at the sight for a good moment, Haku went to take more notes to pass the time before her vision was encompassed by a sheet of ice around her vision.
Looking up as the class sat frozen by a sheet of ice, Haku sighed as she turned to her right where a cloaked figure stood beside her, the cloak reflecting light and such like a thousand pieces of a mirror glued to an actual cloak, it's lone eye staring out of the darkness from the opening.
This was Haku's Zanpakutō, Kagami no Manto, staring over the class room for a full moment, he turned his head to her with a dual toned sigh.
"Is it just me or is school starting to get boring these days?" smiling at her Zanpakutō/oldest friend, the being sat down on an ice chair while holding a plate of Ichigo Daifuku, thus making Haku look to her boyfriend with a fond smile, despite time being frozen due to communing with her Zanpakutō.
"It isn't just you, Kaga-kun" getting a snort from the Zanpakutō, the world resided back to motion as Kagami faded before being replaced by a black and white version as she looked to her other Soul manifestation.
Sporting a mask with cracks littering the human face, it's body was like a female mannequin, cracks forming a mimic of attire.
Stabbed through her torso was Haku's Zanpakutō, not by Haku's choice but of her inner hollows.
"Afternoon, Kōtta Kokoro" seeing the hollow turn it's head to her in a jittering manner, it's head was tilted far to the left before it's right hand shot up with a thumb held up, followed by her looking forward once more.
Allowing Haku to return to the outer world as the day ended, allowing her to leave with her books gathered to leave.
And seeing Ichigo waiting for her at the schools gates, the berry had a bright smile as she gave her own as she fell into step beside him, looping her hand through his right arm, she gave a giggle while Ichigo smiled.
Walking her to the Urahara Shoten, Haku gave Ichigo a small kiss to his lips.
"See you tomorrow, ichi-kun" seeing him wave as he left, Haku smiled fondly as she opened the shops door, and seeing Ururu sweeping inside made Haku lunge to the little girl who yelped as she was embraced by Haku.
"Ururu-chan!" getting a small laugh from the girl in her arms, Haku gave the girl a small peck on her head before setting her back down.
"Is Jinta leaving you to do his chores again?" getting a meek nod, Haku sighed while sensing for the little Ranto.
"Jinta, where are you so I can freeze you in place again!" hearing for any response, a voice from the canopy above made her eyes narrow…
What was Jinta doing in her room?
Stalking to the stairs inside a renovated spare room, she climbed up the stairs to see her room…. With the dressers opened and closed half hazardly.
And no sign of Jinta.
Stalking forward with her eyes glowing at finding her most precious possession on her Bed, her diary…. Haku clenched her hands tightly as ice began to coat the floor from her feet.
"Jinta… you have eight seconds to flee before I castrate you" getting a yelp as her right hand shot up, she turned to see the red haired punk looking up above his head where a very sharp ice needle shook upon impact.
Followed by Jinta fleeing with a yell, leaving Haku alone as she counted to ten, moving to chase she stopped at seeing a black cat sitting at the stairs… somehow giving a stern look at Haku who stared for a full moment before she scooped up the cat to hug while sitting against her bedroom doors doorframe.
Rubbing her face into the cats own, a deep voice spoke gently.
"I know how you feel, but just know it is merely childish curiosity" hugging the cat closer while enjoying the warmth, the mass grew larger before a pair of hands snaked around her to return the embrace, leaving Haku hugging her mother figure.
"At least give him chores he can't pawn off to Ururu, like train in the early morning with Tessai?" getting a snort from the beauty herself, Haku looked up to Yoruichi's smile as she sat on her lap.
"I'll talk to Kisuke about it, and give Jinta a stern talking to" getting a thankful smile from Haku, the two shared one more embrace before Yoruichi turned into her cat form again, giving a purr as haku scratched her chin.
Before a paw pushed her hand away, making Haku giggle as Yoruichi had a flushed look somehow in her cat form.
"Thanks, Kaa-chan" seeing Yoruichi smile more widely, the girl stood up as she followed the werecat.
"So… where's Tou-chan and Tessai-Jiji?"
Giving her a look with amusement, Yoruichi spoke.
"Kisuke is in the back napping, and Tessai is out getting supplies" frowning as she pulled off her school jacket to swap out for a Shop apron, fixing her hair after securing the apron, Haku moved to the stores counter where she set herself in wait… before ultimately sighing in bored.
"I miss Ichi-kun already"
Setting his blade through another of Barragan's hunting party, Zabuza ripped his sword from the large Centipede hollow to decapitate a hollow crossed between a mantis and a Sparrow.
Turning to backhand another hollow, it was instead impaled by Apacci who had gained a Vasto form herself, sporting a feminine figure, her body was covered in a dark brown fur with her human shoulders sporting bone armor that ran down her spine, her head being a helmet with three horns, two to the sides curving behind her ears while one sat in the middle… which the Hollow died upon before she gave a laugh as she tossed the corpse form her horn.
Rushing forward with her body glowing with a burst forward, Zabuza turned to get a claw to the face, making his head turn sharply, he gave a growl as he turned slowly to the moron dumb enough to hit him, showing a Goat like hollow with a tiki mask.
"You get a second head start!" making the hollow turn to run, it was trapped in a body of a snake as it coiled around it, though the head was instead a female's torso, with a human head sporting a Crown that hung down like a Cobra's flair while the face was covered by a Serpentine mouthguard that opened up to allow fangs to latch onto the hollows throat, Sung-Sun's clawed hands stopping the hollow from thrashing to much.
It seems the Hollows following Harribel had evolved into their Vasto forms, finally.
Turning to the sight of Mila slashing her claws through a hollows neck, a rhino humanoid hollow charged her blind spot.
If not for Zabuza to appear between them with a right hook sending the hollow to the sandy floor.
Seeing it look up at Zabuza with it's nostrils flaring in rage, Zabuza grabbed a horn and forced it to stand.
Followed by him sending punches with no mercy.
Jabs, hooks and kicks, Zabuza ignored the blood spraying over him as the remaining party were slaughtered, leaving the Rhino the last one alive with Zabuza giving it a beatdown.
Leaving the Rhino to fall to it's knees, it looked up to Zabuza weakly before his foot shot up with the head splitting in two from the strike.
Allowing Zabuza to relax as he turned to the others, the Vasto Bat sat calmly while Apacci was eating a corpse of a Fish Hollow, Cyan Sung-sun was nibbling on her last kill with her body coiled around it, Mila was licking her hands of blood while Harribel merely watched with a calmness. Moving to his side, Harribel spoke with her displeasure known.
"That was the fortieth hunting party Barragan has sent" giving her a nod of agreement, Zabuza sighed as the bat hollow approached his side, it's wing tapping his right shoulder, which made him turn to Ashido who had sat down with an exhausted sway.
"You doing alright, Ashido-san?" turning to Zabuza who approached, Ashido gave a small chuckle.
"I am fine… hungry but fine none the less" getting a nod while Zabuza sat beside him after setting his sword down to lean against the flat side, Mila joined him with a purr while Apacci sighed in contempt alongside Cyan Sung-sun. Harribel merely stood as the vanguard of the group while the voiceless hollow sat calmly.
"So, are we gonna keep fending off the assholes army or are we gonna do something about his temper tantrums?" turning to Apacci as she sat up with a stretch, her arms held behind her head as she stretched her abdomen, allowing her female body to be more pronounced before Zabuza spoke.
"It is starting to get annoying, having to deal with his anger issues" standing up with a sigh, Zabuza reached back and began to make his way in a supposedly random direction.
"Where are you going, Zabu-kun?" turning to Mila as Apacci and Cyan stood to follow, Harribel matching the voiceless' hollows steps while Ashido ran to keep up.
"Where else, I find it time I sat on that throne I've left vacant after all these centuries" getting the group to share a look, Mila merely ran to his side with a giggle.
"What are we waiting for?" getting a laugh from Zabuza, the group left with Ashido sighing.
