A Step In Your World: A Bleach Story
So my day had been pretty cool, I'd finally gotten a kitten after years of begging and my some of my best friends, Rose and Roland, were coming over for a visit. It was going to be a great day. I'd already named the kitten, Sky.
It was about 11:00 in the morning and I was still in my pajama's and barely awake, trying to clean up my room for guests. After all, who wants to see a messy room? Not many people.
I also had to get dressed, which wasn't hard seeing as I only put on a different pair of pajamas'. At this point I suppose I should tell you what I look like. To say the least, I'm not like most people.
I have long, light-brown hair that reachs down to my knees, bright amber eyes, and overly pale skin. My dad is albino, so that's why my skin has no pigmintation. As for my eyes, no ones knows why they're amber. But I like them.
Anyway, back to the story.
Just as I was throwing some of my clothes into my closet, I heard a loud slamming sound. I yelped and turned around, then saw my older sister Sarah standing in the doorway. Her red hair was tucked neatly into a pony-tail, and her glasses were perched on her nose with perfect symentry, and her dark brown eyes were glaring at me, practically seething.
Sarah never did like me, we always fight. I have nothing against her, but she hates me because I'm not serious enough. In our family, she's the Golden Child. Always getting straight A's and breaking me out of detention. I think it's cool that she gets straight A's, but that's just not something I could ever do.
"Wha- The fuck?" She yelled, then slammed the door shut and grabbed me by the collar. It took me a minute or two to actually realize what was happening. After a couple moments, my head cleared enough for me to hear her yelling.
"What the hell is that!" She yelled angrily. At first I didn't realize what she was talking about, but after a second I followed her gaze and found out.
She was looking at my desk. On it was a small, round, glass ball sitting quietly. Small silver swirls floated around inside. Around it, there was a quiet hum. It'd been there all morning, ever since I'd first woken up. I only touched it once before, afterall, it just came into being earlier that day.
"It's mean to shake someone so early in the morning." I sniffed, being sarcastic and ignoring her question. I prefered not to answer.
"Answer me!" She growled, just knowing I'd done something wrong and wanting a explaination. In a way, she was like a second mother. Only more strict.
"It's a Hogyoku." I said calmly, scratching my head. "I... made it."
In case you don't know what a Hogyoku is, I'll explain. A Hogyoku is a fictional orb that can grant a persons deepest disire, and give that person epic power. 200 souls are required to make a Hogyoku, and only a Shinigami can make one. The Hogyoku came from a Japanese anime called Bleach by Tite Kubo. Being a Otaku, I watch a lot of Bleach, so I know quite a lot about it. All of my friends are fans, and we talk about it a lot.
"You know that can destroy the whole world!" She yelled again, absolutely furious. All the yelling woke up Sky, he jumped up on my shoulder and nuzzled my neck.
"Ah I know. But like I would ever use it for that." I smirked, rubbing my hands together and tying my hair back.
"Laura!"
The new voice startled me, I yelped and then heard giggling. I turned around and saw my best friend, Rose Caswell standing in the doorway. Her light blond hair was combed into perfection and her blue eyes gleamed happily. Rose was probably one of the prettiest girls I had ever met, she was beautiful.
Rose came from a long line of rich business owners, and was the next heir in line to take over once she turned 18. She and her brother Roland live in their parent's, Divina and James Caswell, mansion down my street. It's always fun going over there.
She saw my confused look and laughed. "I let myself in. Sorry."
"Nah, no worries my friend. Your always welcome in my home." I said coolly, smiling.
Then I did the next thing that came to mind. As quickly as I could, I grabbed the Hogyoku from Sarah and showed Rose. Almost instantly she looked horrified.
"That's a Hogyoku! From Bleach!" She yelped, mortified, then hid behind a ticked off Sarah.
"I know, I know." I said smartass-itly. My ego was starting to take over. I threw the hogyoku into the air and caught it again, then repeated.
"That's dangerous!" Rose squeaked.
"I know!" I said happily. "Watch this." I started fiddling around with it, tapping, throwing, poking. Sarah tried to grab it from me but I ducked and clutched it for dear life. I was really starting to like it, and I didn't want Sarah to take it away.
Before anything bad could happen though, a loud sound echoed through my room. Every one stopped and froze. I stared at the small orb, seeing small red flares coming up. They swirled around slowly, almost dancing.
"Wait." I said cautiously, genuine fear coursing through me. "This isn't supposed to be happening. What's going on?"
"Laura! Don't move or talk. The slightest thing could set it off!" Sarah hissed, standing as still as a statue.
"Ok." I answered, not even thinking. As soon as I spoke, a loud hissing sound came from the orb.
Then our world shook.
"Oh God!" Rose cried, going into a crouching position.
"Shit!" I screamed, dropping the orb and darting over to Rose. I clutched her tightly in a protective manner while she did the same thing. Sarah cursed loudly under her breath and ducked down. From downstairs I could faintly make out my mother yelling about the noise. I started to scream down to her, but my voice was cut off when I felt the ground shift beneith me. The walls around us started breaking apart, revealing a blinding white void. I stared in horror and froze. The whiteness when on forever. I closed my eyes again and clung to Rose.
Then, suddenly, we were in the air.
Falling from a sky.
Instantly, screams errupted from all three of us, absolute horror seeping in.
I floated over to Sarah and clung to her for dear life, Rose grabbed onto me harder in a head lock. A faint meow came from my shoulder, I looked and saw Sky was still firmly (and calmly) on my shoulder. I grabbed onto him with one of my hands, and didn't let go.
We kept falling, cloudes whipping past and blinding my vision. I thought we were going to die, but then something happened. Sarah loosened from my grip and started falling faster. My eyes jerked open and I screamed for her. The gravity hit, me and Rose fell much faster and caught up with her. Then before I knew it, everything stopped. I breathed in and out heavily, not wanting to move.
After a moment or two, a loud growl came from under me. I opened one eye and saw that I had landed on Sarah, who's face was lanched into a wooden floor. I was just about to ask if she was ok, but my breath was knocked out of me. I gasped for breath and looked up to see Rose on top of me. She smiled weakly.
Sarah growled then elbowed me off her, I fell off and Rose landed beside me. I jumped up and looked around, then saw the building we were in front of. I gaped in absolute awe. This building wasn't your every-day thing. It was special.
"That building is in anime form." I said, then noticed my hand. "Shit, my hand is in anime form." I looked slowly at myself, then continued. "Holy shit I'm in anime form.."
I turned to Sarah and Rose.
"Shit you guy are in anime form."
They looked at each other and screamed, then stood up. Rose started crying her guts out in panic while Sarah dusted herself off calmly. I looked around in wonder, seeing Japaneses style buildings. They seemed... familier.
"My invention worked! MY INVENTION WORKED!" I yelled happily, jumping up and down. Making that Hogyoku wasn't a bad idea afterall.
Sarah glared daggers at me then started coming at me.
"Do you know what you've done! Do you know at all? YOU'VE TAKEN US TO ANOTHER DEMENSION AND NOW LOOK AT YOU! You fool!Your gloating about it! You idiot!" She yelled, furious. I rambled my apologies, but then noticed that she was looking behind me. I wriggled out of her grip and looked with her, gaping even more. I twitched.
"The First Squad Barracks." She breathed. "Of Soul Society." She paused. "In Bleach."
I stopped twitching and we stepped apart. Rose walked up beside me and stared. We all did that for a good 15 minutes. Then after a moment, I spoke.
"Hey, then that means old man Yamamo-" I was cut off by the doors opening.
Yamamoto Genryūsai walked out of his Barracks, zampaktou in hand. He immedietely looked at us, then a angry look crossed his old features. Rose hid behind Sarah and shut up, Sarah stared in wonder.
"Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, captain of squad one." Sarah quoted, pushing up her glasses.
I just said, "Old man."
"What's going on here?" He roared. We all flinched and I fiddled around with my pajama's while Sky nuzzled his head against my face to calm me.
"Um you see, um, I, um, made a Hogyoku, and um, accidentally transported us to your demission and, um, now we, er, don't know how to get back," I said guiltily. He scared me. Old people always do. They just seem a little too wise sometimes.
I told him the details and he quietly listened, not saying anything. At that point my biggest fear was that he wouldn't believe us, and that we'd be killed.
After I finally finished, he took a while to think.
"Well, until we can find a way to get you back you are welcomed here in Soul society." He answered after awhile.
Our face's brightened.
"Oh really? Thank you so much! I promise we won't be a problem." Sarah said, Rose came out from behind her a little.
Yamamoto nodded then I heard some people behind us. We all looked behind and saw Kyoraku and Ukitake. I bit my lip in awe and stared.
"Ah! I thought I felt some new reiatsu up here!" Ukitake said triumphantly.
"Yama-jii are those human girls?" Kyoraku said curiously.
"Yes." Yamamoto ordered. "Please show them to a room."
They turned to us, Rose turned bright red, embarrassed, and went right back behind Sarah.
Ukitake smiled then introduced himself and Kyoraku, we did the same. After a couple of minutes, Kyoraku asked if we wanted a tour. We all said yes, then walked away from the first squade barracks.
Once we walked out, I was the last one, I heard something weird coming from above me. I looked above me just in time to see Roland Caswell, flying down right towards me. I gaped and moved back, trying to catch him. Theres no way I could abandon a friend like that. But before I could even move, he shot down at me. I yelped and ducked, but didn't manage to avoid him.
Like a comet, he head-butted my stomach and sent me back a couple feet back. I fell and tried to grab onto him and stop his struggling.
Everyone heard the noise and shot around, then saw the new arrival.
"Oh…" I groaned, rubbing my forehead.
"K.O" Sarah smirked, crossing her arms. She really did like seeing me hurt. I swear to god she has a thing for violence...
Roland sat up on top of me, his gold hair falling slightly in his face. Roland was a couple years younger then me, so luckily he was small. I looked up at him curiously, wondering how he got into Bleach.
"Hi." He said cheerfully, looking around with his green eyes. Ukitake and Kyoraku looked at him in wonder.
"Roland.." Sarah sighed, rubbing her temples. "Why are you here?"
"I followed ya." He answered innocently. "Well actually, I went to your room, Laura, and all of a sudden, I'm fallin' from the sky."
"Laura are you still conscious?" Rose asked slowly, walking over.
I lifted my hand up and gave her a thumbs up. She gave me a uncertain look. Roland noticed me cringing my and jumped off.
"Sorry, Boss!" He apologized, then helped me up. I pat him on the back and we stood together. Roland was like my right-hand man, and I was like his teacher or boss.
"No one else is coming right?" Kyoraku asked, looking weary.
"Oh no, I doubt that. Sorry 'bout that." I scratched my head.
"It's fine." He said, smirking. The look fit Kyoraku, he was just one of those people.
We all started walking again, going somewhere I didn't know. Rose hid slighty behind Sarah, a scared look was on her face. I walked over and nudged her, concerned.
"Yo, shy girl. What's up?" I joked, smiling. As her friend, it was my duty to make sure Rose was always ok.
"Nothing." She answered, sounding glum. I trailed behind her and tickled her back.
She laughed quietly then I took the chance to do something about her attitude. I winked at Sky then he climbed on-top of my head and looked at her while I gave her a funny wide eyed look. She laughed then walked with me. We talked for awhile about random things, just trying to avoid our situation. It was too weird. Too abnormal. Accepting it would break whatever control we had at the moment.
After while I felt something scurry up my back, I turned around and saw Roland on my shoulder.
"Aren't you a little old for piggy back rides?"I questioned.
"No." He grinned cheekily.
"Fine." I gave in and held Rose's hand. Normally whenever we were together we'd be talking about Bleach, but sense we were in the Bleach world, that didn't work. Plus, with all of the new stuff going around, talking didn't seem nessissery.
After another 30 minutes passed, Kyoraku turned to Ukitake.
"Ah Jushiro I gotta go do some paper work, otherwise Nanao-chan will be angry. Can you show them around?" He asked. Ukitake waved him off.
"No it's fine. Go on ahead." He smiled.
Kyoraku said goodbye to all of us then shunpo'd off. Then Ukitake started talking with us.
"So you guy's come from a different world?" He asked, smiling brightly back at us. Ukitake's such a nice guy, I still can't get over it. We all walked up so we'd be at the same pace with him. Sarah started talking first.
"Yeah. She-" Sarah pointed to me. "Build a Hogyoku and accidentally took us here."
Ukitake gave me a amazed look. My cheeks turned a light pink and I looked away, a little embarassed.
"You made a Hogyoku all by yourself?" His eyes gleamed in surprise, and he'd stopped walking.
"Heheh yeah, but really is was nothing." I defended.
"But it is! You shouldn't be modest." He said, smiling. We started walking again and turned a corner.
The rest of the day Ukitake showed us around happily, while we met people all the girls glomped Roland. It was really fun and everyone was nice. Plus, walking in a different world with your idols is amazing.
At the end of the day, Ukitake took us to a house where we would be staying. We all thanked Ukitake and said goodbye to him, then started setting our beds. We had a little fire in the middle of the house where we were all sitting around it. It was around 12:46 when I shot up, almost spilling a cup of tea Rose had given me.
"Ok! Time to assume the TFP!" I yelled energetically. They gave me "WTF" looks. I sighed and rubbed my head.
"It's time to assume the Temporary Family Positions." I clarified. They all went 'ahh'.
I pointed at Sarah, she glared slightly.
"Sarah, you will be the mother! The caring, supportive person in the family."
I switched to Rose, she flinched. "ROSE! You will be the beautiful teenager girl. The title says all."
She smiled warmly at me, blushing a little.
I turned to Roland and pointed. "You will be the untainted little son who knows more then he should."
He smirked and nodded.
I jabbed a thumb at myself. "I'll be the Dad, the provider, protector, and leader of this family." I paused. "Any objections?" I asked sweetly.
"No." They said together.
"Alrighty dee then. Go to bed please. I have a bad feeling 'bout us bein here." I said then sat back down. I really did have a bad feeling. I mean, it wasn't right. Nothing about our situation was right, and I was doing my best to ignore it.
"Ok Laura you may be the leader here but don't get cocky got it?" Sarah growled.
"Sarah!." Rose protested then looked at me for a comment.
I snored. Roland laughed and curled up next to me. After that, we all went to bed. That night would be the last peaceful one we'd have for awhile, because in the morning, our lives would change.
