Chapter 4
Amelia wondered the busy streets of Karakura town, allowing the paranoia in her to rise. Every movement made; the swift rustling of the trees, cars that exceeded their speed limit on the road, the children running around unsupervised, caused her every step to be a cautious one.
'Man, I wish this hollow would just show up so I can hurry up, kill it, and get back to my recruits.' She thought to herself. She felt a spike in spiritual presence in a nearby ally way and a smile began to tug on the corners of her lips. Thus, mentally giving herself a high five.
"Gotcha" She whispered to herself. She then gripped the hilt of her blade and dashed off to the place of "disturbance" only to find the silhouette of a man.
Amelia took a defensive position and said in a low commanding tone "Who are you? What is your business here?"
Ichigo then turned around to see a white haired woman staring him down with her lime green orbs.
"Oi, Who are you?"
"I am 4th seat Amelia Kumori of squad 5; please state your name and business here or I will have to eliminate you."
Ichigo eyes widened and he then replied defensively
"Whoa, hey, I'm on your side. I'm Ichigo Kurosaki; a substitute Shikigami, I work alongside with Rukia. My business here...well, I guess you can say I'm here to explore the whereabouts of a hollow that has been wandering around these parts."
Amelia then gave him a puzzled look.
"Rukia? You work with Rukia? Wait- don't answer that. Listen here Substitute shikigami, if what you say is true-"
"It is,-"
"Do not interrupt me again Kurosaki! You will listen to what I have to say; anyways, as I was saying... I was sent here by the order of Captain Yamamoto to get rid of the disturbance that was lurking in the world of the living."
Ichigo cocked his right eyebrow up and replied "Oh really? Well, go back and tell Captain Yamamoto I have this problem under control."
"No," Amelia spat. "This is my time to prove myself, and possibly get my transfer request override. I will take care of this Kurosaki. Consider yourself relieved from this tedious problem. Goodbye."
Amelia than turned and left the ally, leaving a somewhat confused Ichigo behind her.
Scratching his head Ichigo thought to himself "What... just happened?"
Shinji left his humble abode and found himself meandering the canals of Karakura town. The breeze was very subtle, just enough to hit your face brush your hair off to the side. Looking down at his watch he figured he should probably head back to the warehouse sometime soon. But, something in his gut was telling him otherwise.
In the distance he saw a female figure; her body was shaped like his Amelia's. Closer and closer the female got the more and more he realized that the female was very much like his Amelia. She stopped and stared at Shinji with a puzzled look.
"Shinji?" The female sang.
Shinji heart stopped 'I must be dreaming.' He thought
"Amelia? Is that you?" He began to run towards her and engulfed her in his arms. "Oh, Amelia! Where are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the world of the livi-"
It was at that moment Kumori's blade had come into contact with Shinji's internal organs. His gripped on her loosened and his pleading eyes began asking her eyes a simple question: Why?
His arms dropped and his knees gave way to gravity. Clutching his wound, he watched as the love of his life had sheathed her blade, spit on his soon to be dead carcass, and left him.
Alone.
To die.
His vision began to blur and before his senses knew it he enter the world of unconsciousness.
Moments later Amelia had come to the conclusion that this hollow was going to be a tough one to find, considering there had been no spiritual pressure present besides the presence that had belong to Ichigo Kurosaki.
Walking along the canals she began to have this awful feeling strike her. Taking in her surroundings, she noticed a limp body lying on the grassy hill of the canal.
"A Victim?!" She then ran towards the body and she screamed.
There before her eyes laid Shinji Hirako, in a growing pile of blood. She threw herself to the ground next to Shinji and began searching for a pulse and found herself in luck.
It was faint, but still a pulse.
"Help! Help! Somebody please! Help!" She cried.
Tears began streaming down her face when a gift from God had been bestowed upon her. In distance she saw the old Captains and old Lieutenants; Kensei, Love, Lisa running towards her.
"Amelia! What are you doing here?!" Questioned Kensei
"Now is not the time for questions, please! We have to help Shinji! He's unconscious and his pulse is getting weaker and his blood ke-"
Lisa hushed her weeping friend and placed her hand on Amelia's shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll take care of him, now we've got to get back to the warehouse."
Kensei and Love then grabbed Shinji with Lisa taking hold on an emotionally wrecked 4th seat and headed back to the warehouse.
Hours later Aizen had made his way back to the corridors of his barracks. Walking into his office he found his lieutenant sitting down, tending to unfinished paper work.
"Momo, what are doing here?" He asked while removing the bloodied cloth which covered his perfectly carved chest.
Momo turned to find her captain topless and began to blush.
"U-uuu-uh, Captain A-AAizen, what are you- Captain! Your-"
Aizen then took a seat next to his lieutenant and wrapped his arms around her. Leaning his head on her shoulder he whispered with his velvet voice "Don't worry about the blood. I ran into an old enemy while heading out to check up on-"
"Amelia."
He paused and pressed his lips to the base of Momo's neck.
"Yes... Is someone jealous?" He mused.
Hinamori turned and place her hand on the side of Aizen's cheek and sighed. "No, I just wish you would worry about me like you do Amelia."
He chuckled and kissed the pale pink lips that belonged to his toy.
"I don't worry about her. I simply wanted to make sure she wasn't up to something."
Momo was confused. "What do you mean 'up to something'?"
He kissed her again and smiled. "Let's not talk about Amelia anymore, let's-" He took her hand into his and began to kiss each knuckle.
"Just focus on 'us' tonight. Ok?" He teased.
Her cheeks began to burn and her face turned red.
"Of course...Sousuke."
Hey guys please don't hate me. I know it's been awhile. But, I've been really busy and now I am able to write again. I hope enjoyed this short (sorry) Chapter. But I promise the next one should be much longer to compensate for it. Let me know what you thought of the story.
