Bleach – The Heart of the Matter
By Tayla Drago
There are nice places to live in Karakura Town. From houses to be anyone's homes, apartments, hotels, motels, other types of buildings, and such…With some weird things to be wondering around from within the sewers of their area for it wasn't a Hollow or a burglar breaking in; it was more of a strange creature to be wondering around all over people's houses for the girls to go missing and making a mess to others in their own homes all over 'who were one of Dracula's monsters again'. For Sonia and Alucard sees some type of lizard-like demons for them to go after. From fighting and killing them a few at a time.
Doing well so far for those two, one almost got to Tatsuki in her sleep, but she felt it out to sense things to a small lizard type of creature in seconds with her bare hands. Nice one, but still gross. Then another one pops out of Orihime's shower like it was water itself in her own home to go after her next in her sleep. Not good…Trying to crawl, smell, and do something to look like that it was about to kill Orihime, wait…Was that a lizard? It's walking on its' two feet like a man! Luckily, one of Orihime's Six Six Princess wake her up to all tell her of the danger she was in.
"Orihime! Look out!" Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon at the same time.
She wakes up to see of the danger to be screaming in terror and to use her shield to be protected for a lizard-like demon tries breaking it down but it was too strong, for one was a type of Water Lizard to fight like a warrior and be deadly in water.
Mermen and Fish Men are recurring enemies in the Castlevania series, appearing in almost every game to date. While called "Mermen" in the games, their appearance is based more on the monster from the classic film, Creature from the Black Lagoon, which was popular in the Universal Monsters series of horror films. Therefore, a more fitting name for Mermen would be "gill-men". In some games, Fish Men are distinguished from Mermen with a lack of arms.
Mermen have been a thorn in the side of heroes whenever water is involved in their adventures. Mermen like to jump up from the water and begin to march toward the protagonist. After a while, they will stop and shoot a fireball in the hero's direction from their gaping mouths. After a while, they will normally hop back into the water, or sometimes continue marching around looking for enemies to attack.
Mermen are closely related to the Fish Men (who are also sometimes called "Mermen" as well) but have more fish-like characteristics. However, Fish Men act similarly, if not exactly, to Mermen. In some situations, their names and/or likenesses are interchangeable.
Also, The Lizard Man is an enemy in the Castlevania series. They are a half-man, half-lizard sub-human species, stronger than an average man and with a hide made of hard scales said to be thicker than armor. They tend to move around in groups and are skilled at hunting in packs. They are relatively intelligent, and are usually armed with battle axes and shields.
Lizardfolk are a fictional humanoid species in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing games, having appeared in every version of the game to date.
Lizard men first officially appeared as part of the original D&D game in the 1975 Greyhawk supplement booklet. The lizardman artwork that appeared on the inside front cover of that supplement was used as part of the official TSR, Inc. logo from 1975 through 1978. They are described as aquatic monsters with a rude intelligence, that are fond of eating human flesh.
The first Lizardmen appear early in the game, as soon as one sets foot in Baljhet Mountains. Their special attack consists in jumping high in the air and then attempting to plunge their spear on the hero, time at which their stealing window also opens.
"Ah! What is this thing!?" horrified Orihime.
"There's one!"
Just then…Alucard gives out a powerful electric shock type of attack on the lizard to weaken it, but moves away quickly as Sonia jumps in to duck and cover Orihime to the ground for almost hitting them. Trying to fight in combat and spear and sword clashing one another for those two, Sonia uses her fire whip to trap the Water Lizard to be so fast while fighting by Alucard's side.
"Alucard! Try hold it down!" she said to him.
But Alucard had trouble doing it, until Orihime sets it to use Tsubaki of her skills…The Koten Zanshun – 'Solitary Sacred Cutting Shield'. Fire away, girlfriend!
"Tsubaki!" she calls out to him and fires. "Koten Zanshun! I reject!"
Direct hit to make the Water Lizard to defend, then Sonia to burn it with her fire whip, and then Alucard beats the crap at out of it next. Only for another lizard demon to spray something at Alucard to move away and melted his cape a bit, leaving the other to break free to escape back into the sewers for Sonia to go after it.
"Out of the way!"
Sonia goes after the demon as fast as she could to throw small daggers at the lizard without stopping…But it ran away to the sewers to miss her chance to not sense it out anymore. Bummer. Alucard arrives too late as well right after checking on Orihime to return to her home and to apologize for breaking in to her house only to save her life and such, what a gentleman he is.
"Did you get it?" ask Alucard.
Sonia kicks on street grounds hard, although she was mad for not stopping Dracula anytime soon and still be on a wild goose chase.
"Damn you, Dracula!" angered Sonia. "When will he ever stop hurting innocent lives!? (I'm so sick of this…! And kidnapping Richard was bad enough!)"
Alucard felt the same way Sonia was too since he and his father who's Dracula himself were enemies to each other.
"I know exactly how you feel there, Sonia."
With those two dealing with another monster probably to stop a group of demon lizards, they need to plan something out real soon. As Orihime was trying to see from her shower on what came out of there as her six little friends were lost as well.
"(So strange…)" she questions herself. "(From the way Alucard and Sonia came through my window, it could only mean one thing, a demon of Dracula's tried to hurt me. But it must've not been the only one around. I could feel…More of them in my neighborhood...Tatsuki. Uryu. Hayame. Chad. Rukia. Renji. Ichigo.)"
Orihime was worried about the others who might've sense or gotten attack like she was. Well, Tatsuki did to turn out to be fine to feel out more underground somewhere…This will be a while for them comes out of hiding as this Water Lizard had something to show to his other kind to want something from one of the human girls, but with a powerful gift from within them, not good.
"At long last, a human girl with great powers." the demon tell the others. "My brothers, at long last! We have found one human girl! One that'll save us from our breed from dying with one girl we must have to bare our children. And no worries, we'll keep this one alive and we can get her little friends to eat…Who's with me?"
The rest cheered for the good news for the lizard and his group has an idea – but which one of the girls did he meant? Sonia, Orihime, Rukia, Hayame, Tatsuki, Kirin, Yuzu, Ururu, Yoruichi, or someone else unknown? As morning starts for another day at school with Tatsuki had the weird lizard's dead body in the bag to look at from last night to feel that something wasn't right about it, same with Sonia to feel out the goop left from the lizard demon to study on 'with Alucard's help as well'. Everything was good, until Orihime tells the other girls about it during lunch time. Oh, boy…Mahana, Michiru, Ryo, and Chizuru to overhear her to shock both Sonia and Tatsuki to listen in to everything.
"What? What do you mean you saw a lizard man?" confused Michiru.
"In your room last night?" ask Mahana.
"Maybe you were dreaming?" same with Ryo.
"Were you also dreaming about me?" Chizuru tries changing the subject.
For Sonia freaks out to try stopping Orihime for she does this sometimes. She's not dumb, she's smart to be spacing out from time to time for Tatsuki to be used to it only.
"But I mean it!" she explains to her friends. "I was just sleeping for the lizard man came out of nowhere to try hurting me! But I stopped it and went back to sleep. But I had to clean up early this morning before going to school-!" Sonia covers Orihime's mouth from behind to keep the part from last night a secret.
"Ah...sorry, ladies. We heard that Orihime's just being herself to talk about her weird dreams a lot, even to me. Isn't that right, Orihime?" she whispers in the ear. "Let's go talk somewhere else please…?"
Orihime almost forgotten to keep things a secret. Well, maybe not for Keigo and Tatsuki to sense things out like Ichigo and the others do…
"(Oh, right. My bad, Sonia. Sorry...)"
She gives Sonia the sign to get the whole thing, just then Chizuru comes up in front of her friend for she was in to Orihime Inoue. A bit too much!
"Oh, Orihime, I just love it when you tell wild stories. And would also love it if you give me a kiss!"
Chizuru tries kissing Orihime to feel unconformable about it and to make Tatsuki mad to do something by stopping it, but Sonia does it for her instead. By shoving Chizuru aside with one touch to go down on the ground with her fighting strength to try to control.
"Excuse me." said Sonia.
And she was down!
"Sonia just pushed down Chizuru really hard!" Mahana, Mizuiro, and Ryo were all surprised.
Ouch! At least Chizuru will be fine to get thrown a lot so many times, this leaves Orihime and Sonia to leave their home room for now to have some talk for Alucard to listen in and Ichigo who can already tell that this was another one of Dracula's monsters' on the loose again.
"Again with another one of that Dracula's monsters?" ask Ichigo.
Alucard sighs for it was a big 'yes' to answer back.
"You bet." he said. "The girls are outside. Lots to tell and do, without getting the rest of them to be put in danger."
"(Girls?)"
Now Ichigo needed to know the rest as someone else from the school was spying on them from behind to be very good at it. As Ichigo and Alucard were out of the room, for Sonia looks around to be all clear to talk with the two boys and Orihime; while Uryu, Hayame, Chad, Rukia, Renji, and Kon were still training and going to school normally; while Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Yoruichi, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba all did the same thing with them.
"It's all clear, Sonia." said Alucard. "We can talk now with just these two with us."
"Good." she begins to tell Ichigo and Orihime the scoop. "Listen up, you two! We're dealing with the kidnappings of innocent girls. Seeing some girl in our class name Tatsuki was one of them to have some leftover to notice something from it, I think she has some powers to sense other creatures like us…"
She was right to be very news to Ichigo and Orihime to hear the whole thing. Well, besides Keigo to be sneezing since Ichigo remembers.
Keigo: I hope a pretty girl's thinking about me…
OK...? Any who, this surprises Orihime about it even more.
"Tatsuki was attacked last night like I was?"
"You were?" surprised Ichigo.
"It's fine, Orihime." Alucard calms her. "It was a weak one known as Little Reptiles or Nukes for short. They're quick, fast, and tricky to confuse their prey in battle, but still weak to fight with to get killed from a slap or get stepped on. She thought it was a bug to hit it for me to feel it out, that girl's good."
No kidding, strongest normal human girl for Tatsuki Arisawa she was knowing for Ichigo and Orihime to be friends with her.
"Good to know. Tatsuki is a good childhood friend of mine since we were kids." said Ichigo. "She's strong, just not as strong as we are. Maybe for a normal human girl like she is…"
Orihime was at least happy to know her best friend was safe.
"Thank goodness. That's Tatsuki for you, but I never knew she had some special powers."
"Keigo does too after the Bount attack that went down and almost coast his life. I think those two will be all right, but they should be alert to use their abilities to stay alive and for us to still protect them."
You got that right, Ichigo. Tatsuki's a fighter, just not Keigo to be a caring person and a coward.
"Keigo too? Who knew." surprised Orihime.
Now comes the part on what they were dealing with next from Dracula's random demons sending, different types of lizard demons but with different abilities and such to be a family of a rare and dangerous things not to mess with them. Sonia and Alucard were very good to know all about monsters and such since they had to learn all about their enemies. Also for some of these monsters are from Castlevania 64/Legacy of Darkness and some of them were also from Curse of Darkness.
"What we're dealing with are the Nukes and Water Lizards, for one's the leader. For those can fight like warriors to breath and swim under water to use as their attacks, while the Nukes can climb and crawl all over small areas…There are also other ones with them - Mutated Lizards with armor to fight with higher defense to be lots of armies of them, Fire Lizards like the Water ones they can use fire power, as the Poison Lizards use poison to be very affected, Earth Lizards can use any earth elements as their attacks, and Lizard Man are their one strong bodyguard as a size of a giant to protect its family. All of them are males. Over centuries of these things to hide underground of sewers or inside of waters to be hard finding them to kill, eat, and take away all of them women to also eat to survive and live forever for quite some time now; only some of them are still alive today and they work for Dracula in return to bring him more souls and blood to do whatever they need to keep on living somehow without any females to try some magic or making some harvest from the missing women they capture to destroy their flesh to leave their empty shells behind to make something to create more. No luck, but they try every so on until they find something to work out. We must stop them before they can do that, with some of the girls gone missing for some of them from school and in the town will be next. I hope we can come up with some kind of idea. Anyone got one?"
Nothing so far for the three, for the class bell rings to get back to learn on other things and to hold off the plan for now until social studies later.
"Sonia. We'll talk more later." said Alucard.
"He's right." Ichigo said. "If we're late, we'll be in big trouble. We'll talk more about this afterwards, Orihime, okay?"
She follows them back to the class room in time.
"Okay then. (Hmm…I wonder…)"
Huh? From the looks of it, Orihime was thinking about something. Something good to be helping Sonia, Ichigo, and Alucard by stopping Dracula's army of lizard demons somehow and save the many missing women 'I hope'. Thinking harder during class time all day so far and Jinta and Ururu had another help to aid Ichigo and the others to head on out already; then finally Orihime was eating some food 'of her own food making', to give some to Sonia as she goes up to her out of nowhere to shove some of the food straight to her mouth which almost chokes poor Sonia.
"Orihime!?" Sonia said with her mouth full.
She was choking!
"Oh, Sonia…I have a-! Ah! You're choking! I'm sorry! I'll save you!" Lucky for Orihime to learn the part on what would you do when someone's choking from taking lessons to save Sonia in time to drink some water, a very close call there.
"Damn it!"
"I thought you would like my butter with pepper slices and peanut butter sandwich just now, Sonia, please forgive me!" Orihime bows down many times. "You must've not liked it."
Sonia could finally talk after catching some air.
"Is not that…! The pepper pieces were going down too fast for my mouth to get stuck due to the peanut butter!" she eats another piece. "Other than that, it was tasty. Did you made this?"
Orihime was happy for someone like Sonia loves her food making skills, just a little to not eat so much of it.
"You really like it?" she asked. "I'm so happy. I promise to ask before feeding you sometimes, Sonia."
Sonia then goes up closer to Orihime's face to then say this to her…
"Hey, Orihime…You're…" she hugs her. "You are so cute!"
Shocking here, huh?
"Ah…I am?" Orihime was confused.
"Sorry." said Sonia. "I meant that in a doll or a sister kind of way, you reminded me of a little girl I helped out back at my village. A nice kid. Like a sister I never had. (Yeah…)" getting back to the business at hand. "Anyways, Orihime, what's up?"
She had to tell Sonia about the thing she was thinking about right away.
"Oh, right! I have an idea for all four of us to stop the lizard people and save all of the missing girls. Hear me out…"
So Orihime tells Sonia for her to say it out loud only for both Ichigo and Alucard to listen in.
"What!? Throw a slumber party with your friends!? To get the lizard demons out of hiding!?" shock Sonia. "I don't want to put more innocent lives in danger-!"
"Shh…" Orihime kept Sonia from yelling so much. "Just listen to my plan, please? I was thinking about it all day to tell you."
Sonia will hear Orihime on the whole thing with Alucard and Ichigo listening in as well, unaware that Tatsuki listens in too across from them who can read people's lips very well.
"Fine. Tell us about your plan, Orihime."
"What plan?" asked Alucard.
And so, she tells the three all about it. This should be good coming from Orihime herself. So, she thinks if she were to throw a slumber party at her place, of a trap-like bait thing 'but not and no way to put her friends in danger', just to bring the lizard demons to her and Sonia along with Tatsuki, Mahana, Chizuru, Michiru, and Ryo to tag along. Yep, besides those girls to ask to come along but stay safe to know of the danger and Tatsuki to be there…Orihime wants to invite Sonia too since Rukia was on patrol to report occasionally with Renji back from the Soul Society of long talking in the World of the Living; and Hayame is studying hard with Uryu and spends more time together as well as training goes for her abilities of a harpy, still wishing their friends to be careful to say the least. With two girls stopping the army of lizard people, leaving Alucard and Ichigo to feel out their location, follow them, and then fight them head on. As well as saving the other girls. And how do Alucard and Sonia feel about all this plan of Orihime's?
"Wow, Orihime, that…that just crazy enough to work." said Sonia. "It's enough to protect the other girls before those things will touch or take any of them on my watch. I'm in! (Rukia and Hayame owe me so much after this slumber party gag!) Not bad, huh Alucard?"
Seems like Sonia was alright with it.
"I have to say, it's good the four of us are in this too." he said.
Alucard's fine as well to be ready for anything. As for Ichigo…
"Are you sure about this plan, Orihime?" he asks her. "I'm not so sure about this myself."
This made Sonia mad, only for Orihime to be blushing for Ichigo to be worried about her safety.
"(Oh, my…Ichigo.) I…I…be fine, Ichigo, it's nice of you to worry about me. But it's the only thing I can think of for Alucard and Sonia to both agree with it. We'll protect Tatsuki and the others."
Ichigo's face was turning red too for Sonia to notice something to figure it out.
"Well, I trust you…it's just I worry about other innocent people getting hurt…" he had trouble talking. "I'm just saying!"
"I think having a slumber party at my place would be fun. And Sonia, we'll have such a good time!"
With Orihime saying all of this, Tatsuki makes a move to be part of the plan to help Orihime in her fighting skills and sensing things out.
"A slumber party, huh Orihime?" she asked. "Sounds like fun for you and the rock star Sonia herself to be having one at your place. Can I join in?"
Soon the other four girls overheard Orihime and Tatsuki about it saying like – 'slumber party?', 'can I come too?', or 'that sounds like fun!'. For Chizuru wanted to be close to Orihime for Tatsuki to keep her away from her other good friend, Michiru, Ryo, and Mahana as well. I guess both Orihime and Sonia have their plan to go in to action for Alucard and Sonia to be their backup plan.
"Ah…Sure. Why not?" said Orihime.
"The more, the merrier, I guess." and Sonia.
With those two laughing 'and for Sonia to start to care for Orihime as a true friend', the other five girls were in as Tatsuki will protect Orihime as well.
"Then it's a date." said Tatsuki. "We'll do it tomorrow before sunset. See you then, Orihime and Sonia." she says one more thing to Chizuru. "And you better not do anything to Orihime! Understand!?"
The three say so to agree with Tatsuki on that part.
"No kidding!" all three of them said together.
With Sonia laughing a little to be liking this plan and Orihime was happy on her idea to do and to protect her ideas no matter what.
"Sounds like fun!"
Chizuru however, seeing Sonia have her hands to shake by Orihime to look happy and making her very jealous. Give me a break! They're good friends, she just doesn't get a clue, doesn't she? And she was a huge fan of Sonia in the rock band.
"(Grr…! Sonia Belmont…!)" angered Chizuru.
There goes her paper work to get tore up by Chizuru's own teeth in rage. Scary…With Alucard had to tell Orihime a few rules on what to do for her to listen in, Ichigo was blushing a lot at Orihime; for not only as his true friend but also a lot more than friend to him on how he feels and much more towards her. As Sonia, could already tell on what was on his mind right now to be teasing him about it.
"Oh…Now I see what's going with you, Ichigo…"
He freaks out to feel shy about it on Ichigo's end to be all tough by hiding his feelings.
"Ah! What…What the hell are you talking about, Sonia?" he asks her.
"You have a crush on Orihime." Sonia said in Ichigo's face. "Am I right?"
Ichigo freaks out when Sonia said those words to him, it made his entire face completely red.
"Aaaaah! What!? What!? Me having a crush on-?"
"Of course, you do. I can tell when it comes to love." she laughs.
Alucard joins back with Sonia to overhear the whole thing.
"It would seem like he is." he laughs as well to be holding Sonia's hands. "Ichigo and Orihime, sitting in a tree-!"
Ichigo got so shy that he yells out loud from Sonia and Alucard teasing him to get worked up without admitting it.
"KNOCK IT OFF!" shouted Ichigo.
Yep, those two were in love too and say the same to Ichigo as well. For Orihime to feel the same way too for him, they make a cute couple alright. She even turns red when she sees Ichigo.
"(Oh, Ichigo. Don't worry. Please believe me, I want to do this. I want to become stronger like you and the others. I will protect my friends like you are. Sonia and I will do fine helping Tatsuki and my friends, you and Alucard just watch on the other girls.)"
Orihime has become stronger every day, huh? So the next day was Saturday – for Sonia, Alucard, and the others were still training all day long until the sun started to set. Uryu, Hayame, Chad, Rukia, Renji, and Kon headed out for they watch their backs; as Yoruichi, Urahara, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Ririn, Kurodo, and Noba do the same for another help was on the move while Ichigo was ready to help out with Alucard to watch over the neighborhood on the lizard demon's eyes locked. Without getting distracted at all, the two men were good to go.
As Orihime gets everything all set at her apartment place from cleaning it up, renting movies, getting snacks, make some, drinks 'in her weird ways of combining them all into one', music, clothing, and so on for enough people to have a much of having a fun slumber party time, and Orihime's last time since she was still in high school. Soon, Sonia shows up at her place first to make sure everything goes well for Alucard and Ichigo and to be ready for anything…Looks like one of the Lizard Demons was already to make a move on one of the special girls that they need near Orihime's place. Not good!
"Hey, Orihime." Sonia was welcome in. "Everything's all set for Alucard and Ichigo are already on patrol outside of the area. And my first time in a slumber party here."
This surprises Orihime to hear Sonia loud and clear, it wasn't good news at all.
"What…? You never had a slumber party in your life when you were growing up?" she questions her. "No friends? Or any when you're a kid? None of it?"
"Ah…Yeah, I was too busy training for Richard, Maria, and me. We just never had time having fun during the time from the upcoming Dracula wars. Also, we were home schooled a lot back in our village."
Still, this was the first time 'besides traveling to see the whole new world' besides Alucard and for Sonia getting to know others either.
"Then let's have a very fun one!" Orihime said to be holding Sonia's hands. "We're friends, right? And even if its bait to get the lizard demons, let's make it count, okay? You, me, Tatsuki, Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, and Mahana. The last and fun slumber party and watching out for any danger."
Orihime was very caring and serious to Sonia to give it a try since she has barely any friends back in her home town from Alucard, Maria with her pet/partner owl Howey, and her only brother Richard .
"I guess…I mean, if you really want me to have one with you and the other girls for the first time…" Sonia was thinking. "Then I guess I'll give it a try."
"Yeah! Thank you, Sonia! This will be fun!"
From shaking hands and then hugging, looks like that they'll be having some fun and still do their job, seems fair.
"I guess it will be for us." she said. "But remember, we need to stop the lizard demons this way, find their hideout, and protect all the girls to also be saving them. Including the others. Understand? I hope Alucard told you everything."
She was told in every word from yesterday…
"All about it on what do and such." said Orihime. "I'll be ready! My plan will work!"
Now Orihime was doing a muscle-like posing pump up type of way to make Sonia feel silly to be seeing this.
"If you say so. (She's a kind person with a strong heart to know what's what. But…She can be a bit overdoing it in an odd way.)"
Now for the planning to set everything up must happen. Besides buying things, movies, drinks, cleaning things up in your apartment, some sleeping bags, and of course making some food – in Orihime's way.
"Now to the kitchen, Sonia." she said by pulling Sonia's arm there. "Time to cook some goodies for our friends."
Sonia sees a lot of different foods to mix to be very weird, for some parts.
"Got anything in mind to cook up?" ask Sonia.
Orihime shows her many different foods to come up with some just to picture it all. She is saying things like cotton-n-candy, popcorn, caramel hot dogs, cinnamon type of stake and all…
"Are these good enough?" ask Orihime.
Sonia was looking around the food thing to come up with this to start cooking with her.
"It's fine, but…" she was a great chief. "We could use some salt with some cheese or some type of butter that's good for your body. Follow by grilling the steak with arbakai sauce if we need to, and we add tomato pasting on these hot dogs, along with cotton-n candy, caramel, and cinnamon combine into one would make a…"
Orihime knew what Sonia was going to say next.
"Some special triple candy surprise!" she said. "Yummy!"
"Yep! Now hand me a fork and lapel spoon, because we're about to get cooking here."
And so, the two girls got cooking for some good food to mix in and to still taste well. Just in time as Tatsuki, Chizuru, Michiru, and Mahana have all arrived before the sun started to set down for night time now as Ichigo goes to Soul Reaper mode to leave his human body to watch over the neighborhood with Alucard. Looks like the three girls 'besides Tatsuki to keep her guard up' were all good to go to while they have some fun at the same time.
"They're here!" Orihime opens the door. "Come in."
"Hi, Orihime!" said Michiru. "We brought our things for tonight's last slumber party!"
"That we did." Ryo said while reading her book.
"Movie night too!" Mahana was happy.
Chizuru tries making her move on Orihime to say this to Sonia of her jealousy over nothing.
"Listen here, Sonia!"
"Ah…Okay?" Sonia was confused. "You're Chizuru Honsho, correct? One of Orihime's friends? Like Tatsuki, Michiru, Mahana, and Ryo? It's nice to meet you."
She just gets down to the chase with Sonia.
"Anyways, just listen! You and Orihime maybe friends like Tatsuki, but I'm more than a friend to her! Which she doesn't know of yet, but it's fine because the way I like in my women! I just got one thing say to you…!" Chizuru took a phone photo shot to then get some pen and paper. "Are you seeing anyone? And…May I can have your autograph? I'm a huge fan of you work-!"
Tatsuki punches Chizuru away from both Orihime and Sonia in time for acting weird again.
"I said don't make any moves on Orihime! And that includes Sonia, stupid!"
She'll be fine and soon enough to take a hint any time soon.
"Nice punch." Sonia comment on Tatsuki.
Seems like Sonia made another friend like her.
"Thanks. I like your attitude to not caring of people like Chizuru is, but she's still a good person. Any friend of Orihime or Ichigo's, is a friend of mine. Even if you're famous."
"It can be a hard life for me from time to time."
I guess with good people to get to know of 'and getting an autograph to Chizuru', Sonia and Orihime start the party.
"Alrighty then, let's party!" said Orihime. "Slumber party that is."
Everyone laughs and cheers to be having their last slumber party ever 'as the three of them watch out for any dangers to keep the doors, windows, and toilet seats down after using it to be all good to go'. As Sonia enjoys it for the first time to see Orihime to be this happy and for Tatsuki to have some fun as well. From board games, playing some video games, watching a movie, dinner to eat, drinks to have, pillow fighting, playing dress up, music to listen to, dancing, singing, and all of them were having a blast for Chizuru, Mahana, Michiru, and Ryo to be getting to know their famous pop idol so much even for Tatsuki to feel her out to be much different like Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Uryu, Hayame, and Rukia lately. After doing all those things 'to eat some good food to be made thanks to Sonia aiding Orihime a bit', they all watch some TV shows, to be lying in their sleeping bags, and started to talk about things together like all girls do in sleepovers.
"Okay, let's talk about boys." said Ryo.
"Boys?" shock Mahana.
"Really, Ryo?" ask Michiru. "Why?"
Every girl does that in every slumber party…
"I know who I like…" Tatsuki throws a pillow at Chizuru's face.
"Not Sonia or Orihime!" she said in anger to go back to act calm again. "I know what type of guy that I would good for. Handsome, strong, and gets a girl's taste of things they like."
Anyone else likes anyone…?
"Uryu might have a thing for Hayame Yoko." said Michiru. "I always see them together. As for me…I hope to fine someone who's famous for my man."
"I think Mizuiro's kind of cute…" Mahana said. "A real cutey and a lady's man in a good way."
Ryo had something to say next on who she likes.
"Unlike Keigo?" she said it. "That's right. As weird and loud as he is to try getting a girlfriend, I like a man who doesn't know of someone who's always watching over him. I'm famous runner you know."
Who knew. As for Sonia had something to ask of Orihime.
"Okay, my turn!" she asks her. "Tell me, Orihime, do you love Ichigo Kurosaki?"
The other girls were shock to hear this time of question 'even worse for Chizuru', not for Tatsuki though.
"Me? Well, we're best friends and all…"
Tatsuki says it to Orihime up close to her face.
"Someone's blushing…Come on, Orihime, Sonia asked if you like -like Ichigo. Like in love with him." she said to her friend. "Do you love him?"
Now Orihime gets it to have her face turn red, and for Ichigo to be doing the same just thinking about her suddenly to be getting back to work. As for her to answer on this part…
"Ah! Me love Ichigo!?" shock Orihime. "(Oh, my…So the question about it has finally come!) Well, I do…I mean-!"
They were laughing for Tatsuki then asks Sonia of something to stop her from having fun.
"What about you, Sonia? Do you love your hot manager, Alucard?"
Now Sonia's face was turning red.
"WHAT!? Alucard and me in love!?" she was freaking out. "(We knew each other since my brother and I saved him to give him a home, a childhood friend to Richard, Maria, and me.) Ah, damn it! Really!?"
Alucard was thinking about Sonia for a few seconds and then gets back to work afterwards. Weird…
"Well…?" Chizuru, Mahana, Ryo, Michiru, and Tatsuki wanted to know for those two girls.
Sonia goes first.
"Alucard and I…Well, I do find him cute for we're childhood friends to protect my brother and me. When we're on vacation from touring. (He is very friendly to me in his way of showing it…)" Sonia knows about Alucard a lot. "I guess you can say, we'll know soon enough for us to really care for one another."
Not bad for a good answer, and for Orihime...?
"And you, Orihime?" Tatsuki and Sonia asks Orihime together.
She was feeling shy and dizzy to have trouble thinking, for Orihime does care about Ichigo a lot to show his reaction she saw today on him caring about her a lot.
"Ichigo and I…" she tries spitting it out. "I do! A lot!" Orihime explains all about it first. "But in a slow type of relationship kind of way! Not fast at all to go rushing too much in to things, for Ichigo to see that. I can tell from his face, he does care about me, and I do too. That's how we both feel for one another, and slowly to be dating together. I would want very much…"
This was a touching moment for the other girls to hear this 'but Chizuru', for Tatsuki and Sonia love coming from Orihime to finally say it. If only Ichigo could do better, he will soon enough. As the other three girls were touched by the cute ones for Sonia and Orihime really love someone even for Hayame as well with Uryu.
"Aw…So cute!" Sonia hugs Orihime again. "You see? I knew by admitting it would feel great, you know? I did as well."
"Yeah…I guess we both did." she said to be laughing.
Tatsuki hugs Orihime to be joining in.
"Well, it's good you really like Ichigo. He better care about you a lot more than friends, I got your back."
"Thanks, Tatsuki." she also says this part to keep to herself. "(Rukia…I think she might like Renji as he likes her a lot. And Uryu with Hayame, huh? I didn't see that coming at all.)"
And after all of the fun love talk and such, the girls enjoy the rest of the night for Sonia was loving it to also be making new friends and so was Orihime; for her six little helpers kept an eye on things all over her house while Alucard and Ichigo stayed outside to see no sign of any lizard demons or sensing them anywhere. As Sonia places, some spells all over the doors and windows while setting up the party from earlier. As she, Orihime, Tatsuki, Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, and Mahana kept on hanging around while lying in their sleeping bags and having the TV on to soon be late and all of them were fast asleep. A good fun time, for everything was all set to be ready to go just in case.
"All set, Alucard?" ask Ichigo.
"Yes." he answers. "Let's keep our eyes open. Urahara has send another backup to help us out the girls in case those things show up again."
And with everything all set, they were ready for anything.
"That's good to know. Then let's get to it. (Orihime, please be safe.)"
See…? Ichigo does care about Orihime a lot. As the seven of the girls but Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon kept watch all over the house, as Michiru went into the bathroom and forgets to put the toilet seat back down. Not good for something does crawls out of there…For Sonia and Orihime both wake up from feeling out a Nuke demon to be in the house again 'so did Tatsuki to not like the strange feeling at all'.
"Orihime? Do you felt that?" Sonia asks her.
She sees her other six saying so.
"I think they got in somehow, it was an accident." Shuno said to try looking around.
"Yes, it's here, isn't it? We better look around quietly…"
The Nukes wonder around to have one broken glass from a window to break out of nowhere, then something was thrown to try hitting it. Tatsuki did that. Nice shot!
"Tatsuki!?" Orihime and Sonia were confused.
Well, guess they have no choice since they know of her powers to sense, sees, and hear things from which can't be seen.
"Damn, I missed. What are you two just standing around for? We have a creepy critter to get."
Before Sonia could say anything, this was no time to be asking questions to this girl to really be helping to her own decision. Orihime had to ask Tatsuki about it.
"Tatsuki, you knew…?"
"I have been for a while from you, Orihime." she said. "You, Sonia, Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Rukia, and Hayame having special gifts a bit different, also your boyfriend Alucard, Sonia. And Keigo who's like me a bit with less fighting skills. Anyways, I've learned about the lizards sneaking around town and making the girls disappear lately. We'll talk more later, okay? Let's find this thing before our four friends disappear next."
She was right. So Orihime and Sonia go along with it 'for now' to get Tatsuki to aid them and keeping other things of the unreal to themselves, for they look around to sense the Nuke to then biting on the power cores to make the entire apartment area to lose electricity. Going on and off a lot to wake up the other girls, Sonia uses her daggers to throw at it to capture one and then uses some paper spells to sense out the rest of the lizard demon's hide out now, as well as sending a flare attack-like power for Alucard to track their blood down. They were in the area right away.
"Alright!" Sonia was happy. "I used the spell for Alucard to feel out the rest of the lizard demons for us to hunt down for his and Ichigo to follow, it'll leads right in to the rest of us…In the sewers!"
Tatsuki and Orihime were amazed at Sonia's skills.
"We found them!" excited Orihime.
"How did you do that, Sonia?" ask Tatsuki.
No kidding, how?
"Well…"
She explains from the Belmonts using some spell to trace out other demons from their guts, body parts, or blood to use the ink mix with one of those, chanting the words out, and making a fire-like blast for some with sensing things out 'or smelling it' can follow the rest of a living creatures hideout in seconds. Something for only Richard and Sonia can do like Simon Belmont and Trevor Belmont did from way back then…It works very well, soon Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, and Mahana all wake up to see the lights were turning on and off a lot so Sonia, Orihime, and Tatsuki better think of something and fast and at the worse time!
"The lights…?" Mahana was confused right now.
"Did we have a power outage?" ask Ryo.
"Or did Orihime forgot to pay the electric bill?" Michiru took a guess there.
The three girls better think of something to make up so they won't freak out so much and quickly.
"Don't panic, everyone. Ah…" Orihime thought of something. "We have a rat who's messing with the power cores from the outside."
"A rat!?" the three girls panic.
Chizuru tries to get a shoe to hit it with and to protect Orihime.
"Where is it!? I'll smash its gust out!"
Tatsuki had a look on her face to stare at Orihime to be like 'really?', and Sonia tries to keep the other girls to remain calm.
"Just calm down, okay?" she said. "We can handle this. Just stay inside, no one leaves until tomorrow. Just to be safe."
"We'll handle this one right away." Tatsuki plays along. "(Orihime, next time let me plan something out, will you please?)"
Just then, the lights go completely out for the girls to panic for Orihime's six friends became her light to see better. Sonia and Tatsuki knew then on what they had to do next.
"Everyone, stay in a circle! Now!" said Sonia to look worried. "(This is bad!) Don't leave my side for once!"
Sonia, Orihime, and Tatsuki has the four other girls surrounded to safety without leaving the circle at all. Soon enough, things only get worse for the lizard demons to arrive to get one of the girls with the power to breed their kind again from water who was the leader with his other ones, fire, and poison as they rise from the windows and door to be broken down. In the darkness, the demons started taking all the girls away without hearing or seeing any of them – from Chizuru first…
"They took Chizuru!" said Tatsuki. "Damn!"
"No! Chizuru!" Orihime panicked.
Then Mahana gets grabbed away next.
"Mahana's been caught too!" Sonia was freaking out now.
Then Ryo and Michiru were taken at the same time from behind of the last two.
"Ryo and Michiru are gone! (Tsubaki. Shuno. Ayame. Lily. Hinagiku. Baigon. Please…Help me. Help me, help Sonia and Tatsuki save our friends…!)"
Now there was only three of them to stay together without leaving the room, only for Alucard and Ichigo to followed another lizard demon throughout the streets to catch up to it…Only for Alucard to have a sneak attack from another lizard demon type of poison to spray something within his eyes to go blind.
"No, Alucard-!"
Ichigo then falls into the sewer hole to go down leaving Alucard to be down for the count to killing it in time with his powers. For someone comes to the rescue to jump right inside the sewers while Alucard tries to recover on his own…
"Go!" he said to the unknown person. "I'll be fine! Go help Sonia and Orihime! The other girls have been capture down below! Get going!"
Ichigo goes to do it right away for Alucard tries to recover quickly to join with the others as quickly as possible. Leaving the other three girls on guard from more lizard demons to try to stop them, only for a fire ones use its fire blast to burn Tatsuki to go up in flames. To be in pain to go flying out of the window of the apartment as she pulls the demon with her to go down to the ground.
"Tatsuki!" Orihime cried out to her friend.
Sonia was worried about her.
"Tatsuki got hit to throw the fire lizard demon with her!"
With the two had to help Tatsuki out, only for the water lizard demon to use its water blast to hit a powerful one at Sonia to go down hard to be weaken. Leaving the group of Mutated Lizards and Lizard Men to grab hold of Orihime as she tries using Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon as her shield to try pushing them away with her new weapon. Only for the leader Water Lizard to use its tail to grab Orihime for the others to take her away for she couldn't fight back to be held down tight by their tails.
"Ah! Tatsuki! Sonia! Help me!"
With Tatsuki trying to get to her friend while getting back up and avoiding another one of the fire lizard who tried to stop her, Sonia had to try to save her.
"No! Let her go!" she tries fighting back to still be weaken to stand on her legs. "Orihime!"
"Sonia!" cried out Orihime who was getting taken away.
The lizards take Orihime for Sonia to see her get kidnapped and the Water Lizard leader to mock his enemy.
"She is the one! We shall be reborn again with her sacrifice of her energy to breed again, along with the new human flesh we have gathered!" he said. "Finish the Belmont off and anyone else who stands in our way, my people."
Not good! Orihime's the one to be kidnapped by the lizard demons doing to make more of themselves if Sonia can't save her friend in time, she can still track them down for rest of the water, fire, and poison lizards surrounding the heroine…Only for Tatsuki to be punching and kicking her way to victory in time to save the female Belmont's life. She could still fight the other three elements with her karate skills.
"You okay, Sonia?" she asks her. "Give me your hand."
Sonia gets back up for it'll take more than fire to stop, drop, and roll with some fresh water fountain near the neighborhood to use on her body to take her down.
"Using water while fighting back still, nice one." said Sonia. "Thanks for saving me. But Orihime…"
"You still do the thing that can track those lizard things with?"
The answer was yes; she does to use to find out the lizard demons hideout to go into the sewers right away to be was just around the corner of the streets.
"Got it! And we better get moving to go find her, your friends, and the other missing girls."
"Alright!" Tatsuki then asks Sonia this next questions. "Wait…Why in a hurry anyways?"
Sonia pointed out to Tatsuki of the many armies of Nukes that were surrounding the two girls to devour them and to try slowing them down.
"Yeah…" Sonia started to run with Tatsuki. "LET'S GET GOING!"
The two girls started to run while fighting their way inside the sewers to find one for Sonia to use her whip and fight the rest of the lizard demons to try stopping her and Tatsuki. They were no match against these two girls! Going in the sewers now to still out run an army of Nukes chasing after them for more fire, poison, and water lizard demons to still try killing them; as other soldiers jumped in to be trapped on two sides with nowhere to escape from as someone jumps in to cut the demons down with a sword who looked like Renji. Was it really him…? No! He acted differently to talk weirdly and fight in an odd way, but enough to stop the other lizards for the girls to jump on down into the pit to keep on going.
"Renji…" Sonia then felt something from this man. "Wait. You're not-!"
And…Poof!
"Why hello there!"
It was Kurodo 'in his human form of a Modsoul' to disguise himself in to anyone like Renji and/or Chad so far. He has come to help out the girls, and save the day as well as saving Orihime and the others.
"Who's that?" ask Tatsuki.
So, to make the intro short for Kurodo here…
"How do you do, Ms. Tatsuki of Orihime's bests friends?" he was a gentleman to her. "I'm Kurodo. A Modsoul. I can turn into anyone so well to be someone else they think it is, but isn't, I've watched your friend for quite some time to do things very well as a team, for Kisuke has send me here to help you rescue Orihime, her other girlfriends, and the other missing girls from those disgusting lizards belonging to Dracula. Also…" Kurodo turns into a lizard demon himself of the Lizard Man one. "I can turn into them. Alucard told me to find you and Ichigo to come down here, but I haven't found him yet. This is not good at all…!"
"Ichigo's here!?" surprised Sonia. "(Alucard, wherever you are now, please hurry…)"
Ah…I think the three should get going before a swarm of Nukes try to come at them in larger numbers this time. Like, right now!
"He is and Alucard's doing something from the water drains of this place. But let's worry about the rest once we outrun these ugly things...more are coming at us!" Kurodo was freaking out.
The two girls see them.
"Sonia! Run!" cried out Tatsuki. "(Hold on, Orihime! We're coming to save you, Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, Mahana, and the other missing girls! We'll stop these things!) Don't look back! Both of you!"
Sonia, Tatsuki, and Kurodo kept on running away from an army of Nukes to still be running all over the sewers to find the other lizard demons, saving the other girls, and Orihime 'while Alucard makes his way through to the water drains', as Sonia knows on what her partner was up to next. But where was Ichigo at? As the three try to move from many different corners of left and right many times over for the Nukes to be fast when running and the three finally fell into a ditch to a bridge leading to the drainer part of the place to be walking on to next; where Sonia's spell glows up to show the hide out of the lizard demons down the hallways for it would seems they've found it, trying to sneak around to find Tatsuki's four friends trapped and asleep along with the other girls.
This was the place! Sonia pointed out from hand sign for Tatsuki and Kurodo to stay close to her to also try sneaking around and think of the way to save the girls; stopping all the lizard demons be gather for their meals and a few sacrifices to be made on one girl and Orihime so they may breed with their kind to make a new again. Not good! For one was getting killed already who was a chubby type of woman with some strong spiritual energy to create the eggs to be made, ew! Poor Orihime had to witness someone getting killed there for she was next to creature the unborn lizard demons to go into her body, being tied up and her mouth cover up for she couldn't summon her six little friends to save her this was bad for Tatsuki to not see her and the other girls get killed like this.
"Orihime-!" Sonia covers Kurodo's mouth in time from screaming.
"Shh...Keep quiet, Kurodo." she said quietly. "We will save her and the other girls. We just need to think of something quickly…They need one woman with high spiritual pressure for the eggs and Orihime next for the unborn ones to be care for the breeding to be brought back from the lizard demons again. Once she's killed, she's next…!"
So that's what the lizard people were doing things like this mess.
"How can we save them all without getting caught?" Kurodo asked.
Good question. How can Sonia, Tatsuki, and Kurodo do so to try saving Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, Mahana, the other girls, and Orihime? Soon for the eggs to be lying down, the Water Lizard was ready and his kind by giving birth to the rest by killing Orihime next for her energy to create the baby lizard demons to soon be born as they all gather together to do so and then feast on the other girls.
"At long last, my people…We have the eggs all set for us! And now, for this special one here who's next to die for our coast! To make a new life with her in powers. Quick and painless I shall do this for all of us, then we feast in the end to gather new life in our family to continue working for our Lord Dracula! Now, let us begin. And no worries, my dear. This will be quick and painless…My staff!"
One of them gives their boss his weapon to pierce Orihime's heart to create the sacrifice of theirs like the other random woman was, she was scared even for her friends to become the lizard demons' type of meat food. Can Sonia and Kurodo save all the missing girls along with Orihime in time, and her four friends? It was about to happen, until…The Water Lizard's staff was out of his hands suddenly. It was pulled away from the demon by someone. Shocking to all of them to see, Orihime, and both Kurodo and Sonia, they see Tatsuki was missing, which means…
"Where's Tatsuki?" Sonia then knows of one thing. "(She didn't…)"
Yep! She was saving Orihime's life in time by using the staff weapon against the Water Lizard.
"Hi." she said.
"Hi?" confused the lizard demon leader.
Tatsuki uses the Water Lizard's weapon against him to be hit in the face and then held by the neck for his kind to follow orders, while keeping him alive. Orihime was happy to see her best friend was alive and well.
"Hey, you lizard freaks! Release my friends, all the other girls, and my best friend right now! Or else your leader here gets straggle to death by my hands…"
Looks like Tatsuki was acting very serious for the lizards got their other weapons out, fire, poison, and others to surround her leaving the Water Lizard himself to try using his water attacks to cut her many times until she would let go, but she won't give up keeping on hold very tightly. But for how long can she hold up? Sonia had to go save her, but it'll put Orihime and the other girls' lives were all in even more greater danger if she did. She was freaking out…
"Ah…Sonia?" he was scared.
"I know, Kurodo! I'm thinking…" Sonia thought of one thing. "Listen to me, Kurodo. Go get the girls out of the cores and give them some air from those weird things right now. I'll jump in to aid Tatsuki at the right distance from those demons. Do it!"
He gets right to it.
"Oh! Alright then! Be careful!"
And so Kurodo tries doing this very quietly to free from Ryo, Mahana, Chizuru, Michiru, and the others in time to use from a normal cutting knife. Sonia was about to come in to save Orihime and Tatsuki from a sneak behind type of attack, only for the Water Lizard uses his tail to send Tatsuki flying to the ground hard and down to then get his weapon back. This was bad, for Orihime tries summoning her six friends to try saving them and getting out of there alive…Just then, someone else comes crashing in to the party by cutting through the metal walls of the sewers.
"Ichigo!" surprised Sonia.
"I…chi…go…?" Tatsuki said the same in pain while trying to get back up.
All the lizard demons gathered to fight off against Ichigo for he goes all Soul Reaper form to take those things out, for Sonia joins with him as Kurodo has saved all the women and the four friends of Orihime and Tatsuki to move away from the battlefield in time.
"Sonia!" he sees her. "You're okay!"
Tatsuki jumps back in to kicking some mutated and men lizard ones to still be fighting.
"Forgot about me, Ichigo?"
He cuts a few more down with a very fast paste.
"Heh, not at all." he smiles at her. "We have to rescue Orihime. (I guess she does has powers to see and hear me after all.)"
The Water Lizard was mad to lose the eggs for the ritual sacrifice to be ruined now.
"Damn you, humans…! Belmont woman!" angered the lizard leader. "You will all pay for this…! Kill them!"
With more lizard demons of different types try to all join in to attacking Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Sonia for they couldn't stop all of them…Soon, Orihime uses the shield to make of her own moves from the lefts and rights to push some of them away as Sonia stops the rest with her metal whip.
"Orihime! You got out!" she was happy.
"Orihime!" same with Tatsuki and Ichigo.
Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon all joined in with Orihime in this fight to use Tsubaki to hit the Water Lizard away from her for good to get even angrier.
"Ichigo. Sonia. Kurodo. Tatsuki. Thanks for saving the other girls and me, but now I'm free." she said to have a serious look on her face. "Now, let me help you guys out. I haven't been training for nothing. These demons will pay for killing so many innocent women! Well, no more!"
Ichigo never seen Orihime like this before, to be liking it, and Tatsuki to be smiling to see her friend was getting stronger. Kurodo joins in to become Ichigo for the battle after seeing the girls were moved away and now they're all safe.
"Ichigo! I'm glad you came!" he cuts down some of the lizards. "Now we can fight together as a team!"
"But as me!?" he got mad.
Now wasn't the time to be getting mad over nothing 'since he can also turn into Ichigo himself too' so sorry, Ichigo. For Sonia tells him that.
"Not now, Ichigo! Let just fight and let Alucard take care of our escape plan!" she asks Kurodo something. "Kurodo! Is everything all set?"
Seems like all of them were unharmed and just be sleeping to be just fine.
"They're all safe now, the four of Orihime and Tatsuki's friends are fine and the others as well." he said.
Tatsuki and Orihime were happy to hear. Somehow, the Water Lizard gets his members to fight as Ichigo and Kurodo to cut them all down, Sonia whips down many more, as both Orihime and Tatsuki fight off with shielding and then attacking; from Lilly, Hinagiku, and Baigon's help and then Tsubaki's as well to each of them to be joining in. Everything was well for our heroes, only for the big boss to call out the Nukes to come running in to be eating them suddenly.
"We shall complete with our breeding to make more of us again! All of it!"
The five were trapped now that the edge of the bridge of the sewers was a dead end, for one false step will lead to their watery grave down under. A deep fall! About to move forward to push them back for Orihime and Sonia to be doing as much as possible with their powers, they, Ichigo, Kurodo, and Tatsuki then felt Alucard was nearby to switch on the many water pipes all over the place.
"Alucard's here!" said Sonia.
"He is!?" surprising to Kurodo and Ichigo.
"But what's he doing?" ask Tatsuki.
Orihime goes to the missing out cold girls to use her healing power right away for Ayame and Shino to do, while shielding up for the other three on what's about to come up next.
"Everyone! Get next to me with the others girls!" she said. "Time to go for a watery ride in a second!"
Sonia now knows of her partner's plans…
"(She's right…!) Orihime's right! Get next to her now!"
With them confused, and the lizards getting closer for the Water Lizard to strike back for Alucard had one more switch to do.
"What is this now?" ask the Water Lizard to be laughing.
Just when all was about to be lost, Alucard was almost done…
"This is your defeat!" he has done it. "I hope you like a little water ride…" Alucard joins with the others to be inside of the shield. "HANG ON!"
And with that, the water comes flying out all over the sewers and fast from the strong pressure from the pipes thanks to Alucard. All the Nukes get drowned to their deaths from below instead…As he, Sonia, Ichigo, Tatsuki, Kurodo, Orihime, her other six friends, and all the missing girls hang on from inside of Orihime's shield to go on a water type of ride to finally getting out of the sewers; as the other lizard demons were getting washed away, drowned, or holding on to dear life too for their leader to try protecting them all, but has fails to do so. The strong waters pour out of the outside streets of Karakura Town for all six and the girls were fine for Orihime to start healing them up along with Mahana, Ryo, Chizuru, and Michiru to recover in no time.
"(Thank goodness!)" she was happy. "(My friends and all of the other girls, they're going to be okay.) Hey, you guys, we did it! We saved them all!"
The girls might be fine now, but the Water Lizard leader, his other kind, the fire, poison, solider, and man-like ones were still alive and they were all still standing to get really mad right now.
"This is bad…!" shock Alucard.
"Yeah…But who's going to save us?" Sonia asked.
She, Alucard, Ichigo, Kurodo, and Tatsuki got ready to be in front of Orihime to stop the rest of the demons to get the Water Lizard to stop them and get a hold of her still.
"Grr…" the lizard king gives his members an order to carry out. "Now we've got you…! We will live on forever! Count on it."
"Orihime! Stay back!"
"We'll save you!"
"Watch yourselves, everyone!"
Ichigo, Tatsuki, and Kurodo said to fight them off and to still be weaken from the water crash they've made, for them, Sonia, and Alucard couldn't stop them all on their own to still be strong in battle. Orihime makes a shield and uses her healing powers to save her friends only for the six to be stopped as the Water Lizard uses his staff to break the shield as many times as he tries to. For Orihime couldn't hold him off for long.
"(Oh, no…! Ichigo! Tatsuki! Sonia! Kurodo! Alucard! I can't let them die, nor my friends, or the other girls! I must fight back! I must protect them all…! Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon! Please…! Help me!)"
The water Lizard was almost there from destroying the shield.
"Now…Die for us to bare our children-! What!?"
One bright of the light came through to blinding the leader and the other lizards to move away from the others. It was the six-little power of Orihime's to the rescue, she did that for another Belmont upgrade was about to happen for Alucard to see on what Sonia was telling him about.
"It is happening again! Do you see, Alucard?"
"You were right…!" he was speechless about it.
As Orihime punches the Water Lizard in the face…Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon appeared to give her the strength to win this battle and a new upgrade from Sonia's powers to be doing to her this time – like it did for Uryu, Hayame, and Chad have gotten so far. As all six say this together at a time to help Orihime fight back.
"About time you want to fight back, girlie!"
"For your friends and Ichigo too, we will help you."
"I think we're about to power up…"
"Yeah! From the looks of it!"
"We're all glowing up because of it!"
"Then let's do this thing. Everyone ready?"
Orihime sure was for Kurodo, Ichigo, and Tatsuki to be seeing this as well.
"In that case…I am!" she said. "Now, everyone, power up! Time to protect everyone, Tatsuki, my friends, Sonia, and Ichigo! Let's put these lizard things to become endanger spices!"
The six do so for her.
"Power up!" Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lily, Hinagiku, and Baigon said all together as one.
The symbol of the Belmont clan comes up again from Sonia to powering up Orihime and her six little friends for Tatsuki sees now that she saved her when their powers were awakening differently, for she has the three different rings on her second, third, and fourth fingers of three different skills that she'll be having from within her.
"The Six of the Six Princess of Kindness. Orihime Inoue! Powers from within. Active!"
The leader was confused.
"What is all of this!?" he questions himself. "My lizards, attack them all!"
Orihime uses from the snap of her fingers to heal up Alucard, Kurodo, Ichigo, Sonia, and Tatsuki in seconds. For the rest strike back to be shielded to saving all five of them, as she does the same to block the Water Lizard's strike to use her fist of a type of slash attack by creating a bright light to fight back while walking for the demon was moving backwards from her while she was doing all of this.
"Do you want me still?" she mocks the Water Lizard leader. "Then come and get me!"
He tries while moving away from her without stopping and started to get scared. As Ichigo cuts down all the poison ones with his Zangetsu – Getsuga Tenshō, to Kurodo becoming Chad now to punch-like blow up the Lizard Man into tiny bits. Nice one! Tatsuki punches and kicks the Mutated ones until they drop dead to feeling a bit tired, but still stayed strong; Alucard stopped the rest of the fire ones with his sword to be cut down, and Sonia using her chain whip on the other water ones to then uses a special holy water to melt them all away. They did it!
"We did it!" Kurodo said with joy.
"Yes, we did." said Sonia. "Now the rest is up to Orihime to stop the leader…"
Now the leader, the last Water Lizard himself was the last one alive and was scared for losing all his kind now thanks to our heroes, he was done. Leaving Orihime to grab hold of his staff to break it by using her punches powering up with offense attack mix in with her new powers, and again to shocking some sense in to this last lizard demon to shock his entire body to be all deep fried and weaken.
"She did it!" surprised Ichigo. "(She's incredible!)"
Oh, someone loves her a lot. As Orihime has won the fight on her own to with the other six helping her out, they did it!
"No! My plans! Our meals! My people! Everything's gone!" upsetting the Water Lizard demon.
That leaves one thing for Orihime to say for Sonia to be doing now…
"Finish this, Sonia!"
"On it!" Sonia jumps in to the air to do so with her cross-like weapon to throw at the demon. "Have a taste of my cross, you freak!" She throws it at the Water Lizard to get hit for it to glow up so brightly, and destroying him for good to let out his last cries of defeat.
"My kind! No More!"
The lizard demons were no more now to all of them are dead, unless Dracula uses his dark magic to make new ones who were nothing more than clones. The nightmare was over for all the girls to be saved and for Chizuru, Michiru, Ryo, Mahana, and the rest to wake up to feel like it was a dream for Alucard takes care of that part right away. As Tatsuki goes up to Orihime to be herself again and her little friends back inside of her hairpins to do a fine job today. Also, morning has started for the sun to rise from the skies to show a lovely new day.
"Tatsuki!"
"Orihime!" she was happy. "I'm so proud of you! Way a go!"
"You too for saving the others." Orihime said to her friend. "Listen, about…" Tatsuki stops her right there.
"Relax, I won't tell anyone unless I have to for our friends only. Just let me or Ichigo know on what you're doing. And maybe Sonia from time to time?"
She hears Tatsuki on that part for sure.
"Then you better keep your word." she said.
I guess Tatsuki will do so for Orihime to be happy about there, as Sonia hugs them both.
"We did it, Sonia. My plan worked out." said Orihime.
"It did, Orihime. And the slumber party was…fun…" she has learned something today. "Trying something new to the world is fun, as friends we are. (As much to get on how Orihime makes the best out of it to caring a lot.) Let's do it again sometime."
Just on one condition in mind…
"Just no craziness during the time." said Tatsuki. "Deal?"
"Okay!" both Sonia and Orihime said together and then laugh about it.
For Kurodo to be cheering and Alucard was happy to save the many lives as they could for the women, Ichigo goes up to Orihime 'to be looking shy while trying to say this to her'.
"Hey, Orihime."
"Oh!" she sees him. "We did it, huh Ichigo?"
"Yeah…I guess we did."
Sonia and Tatsuki tease Ichigo of his love for Orihime again as her face was turning completely red.
"Cute…"
Ichigo got mad at them.
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" he said in anger. "Tatsuki! Not you too!"
For the next school day, has happened for Tatsuki to make up something of a burglar getting caught by the police in time to save the missing girls in the end for the other four would be fine to believe in it; as Mahana, Ryo, and Michiru will all be okay from the whole thing since last night.
"Wow! What a nightmare!" all three of them said.
Chizuru had her dreams on a few things on her mind during her out cold type of sleep…
"And I thought I would wake up in either Sonia and Orihime's arms-! Oh, come on! Tatsuki!"
Tatsuki holds her by the head in anger again to still be happy of Orihime becoming stronger every day. For she has lunch with Ichigo for he wanted to sit with her, as their relationship was starting to grow little by little and for Tatsuki to be happy to see that going on 'while trying to calm Chizuru down while pinned down by her arm holding skills at the same time'.
"(From best friend and childhood friend in love with each other. How touching…)"
At least she'll keep the secret since she had some powers, with Chizuru for she calms down to look at her autograph given by Alucard and Sonia to be smiling about it. As Sonia was still confused about the Belmont power upgrading skills, Alucard knows of it to look up even more to also say this to his partner/childhood friend…
"Besides knowing about those type of power of yours and Richard's, let's make sure to hang out together when this is all over." he said to get Sonia's attention. "Okay? From stopping my father, saving your brother, and the world with these guys on our side. Don't you agree?"
That she does well to stick to the plan until the very end that is.
"Yeah, let's do it, Alucard. I like this plan of yours very much."
Looks like Sonia sees how Ichigo and Sonia have their own relationship to soon be in love together, is their business alone to let them do while she does hers with Alucard in their own way. Orihime still trains hard with her new-fond powers with Ichigo everyday now to get use to and the other six who are always aiding her as well, they enjoy seeing the scene between these two to be was going on; Ichigo tries out Orihime's food of Sonia's skills to like as she liked Yuzu's handmade one from little bites at a time. How cute!
"It's good!"
"It is, isn't it?" asked Orihime. "I knew you would like it if you tried, Ichigo, and you did. This is fun. You and me…" she turns red again. "(This is too good to be true!)"
Ichigo just smiles to then pats Orihime on the head to stop to have his face turn red next.
"Sorry!" he said. "(Damn it! What's wrong with me!?)"
"Huh? Sorry for what?"
He just lets it be to stare at each other for a few seconds to try getting back to reality again.
"Nothing." Ichigo continues to eat. "Listen, Orihime, let's continue to train and stop Dracula as a team. You, me, Alucard, Sonia, Rukia, Renji, Uryu, Hayame, Chad, Kon, and the others. Okay?"
She understood for Orihime and Ichigo to still hang out with each other from time to time.
"You got it, Ichigo. We will. (I will become even stronger for you and for my friends, just like Tatsuki.)"
"Good."
And as the two enjoyed their time during lunch break 'and for Sonia and Tatsuki to be happy to see them as a couple', as was good to learn new life and trying new things for Sonia to care for Orihime even more a true friend to her. And for Kurodo 'in his doll form again' to be liking this scene of love as well, and…seeing some other high school girls for they were no longer in grave danger by anymore lizard demons to be around. So watch out, all you bad monster type of males! For the women, they can fight back if you ever cross in their paths ever again! And for Kurodo to be saying this while picking out flowers in the grass fields of the school.
"(How lucky of Orihime to be in love…And so is Ichigo with her. What a perfect couple.)" he started picking some flower petals out. "(I wonder about my future girlfriend in my human form would be like? Or as a cute stuff animal to be held…?) Let's see!" As Kurodo started picking them out and saying repeatedly 'she loves me, she loves me not' to know that love is a powerful thing to be winning for anything in a fight.
Making Tsubaki, Shuno, Ayame, Lilly, Hinagiku, and Baigon stronger every day to be flying around above the school building together to know of their master and the powers is getting stronger little by little. Yep, that's Orihime Inoue for you and her kindness…She's a cute girl, of a doll kind of way to be the best female character in this Anime series of Bleach.
