Chapter 03:
"It is said that she has her Shikai, but I have yet to see it." Ikkaku told Hisagi one night as the group went out to a bar again.
"Maybe you should challenge her yourself so that you may discover that shikai of hers." Yumichika suggested.
"I don't know... I don't want to hurt her..." He said sighing as he downed a drink.
"She can take a beating pretty good." Ikkaku said, "So don't worry about hurting her. Zaraki-taicho has broken almost every bone in her body and she still recovered within two days. I think maybe she has a special ability with her zanpakuto..."
"She survived a Zaraki attack?!" Hisagi said amazed with his newest recruit.
"Yep. It was her first day on the squad." Yumichika nodded.
"Hisagi..." Matsumoto spoke up. He looked over, "I don't talk to Chiyo-san a lot, but she told me you've been annoying her a lot..."
"She's on my squad Matsumoto. She's new, and she needs supervision." Hisagi told her, "She's been on squad 11 and doesn't have technics harnessed yet... there's a lot to develope with her that hasn't shown through yet."
"Is this your way of trying to get to know her, Hisagi?" Ikkaku asked him. "Because it's not going to work, no matter what."
"And why not?" Hisagi said before quickly saying, "Not that it matters to me..."
"She's nobility. Do you really think that a noble family would let you anywhere near their only daughter?" Ikkaku said with a laugh. "She's already engaged. She has been, since birth practically. Sure the guy's an asshole, but that's what nobility brings."
Chiyo layed in a field on the side of a sunny hill, the grass and flowers shooting above her body as she layed, the bright sun beaming down at her. She let out a sigh, as she put a hand infront of her and reached for the sun, grabbing it in the illusion she had. "If only the sun was closer... you wouldn't have to shoot for it..." She said remembering a memory as a child.
"Papa says to shoot for the sun... what does that mean?" A young Chiyo asked one of her maids as they got her dressed for the day.
"It means to go for whatever you believe in." The maid told her, "And to never give up."
"Then why doesn't Papa just say that?" The young girl quirked.
"Because then you wouldn't have to wonder about it. If the sun was so close to us, don't you think that it would be easier to reach? Since the sun isn't in our grasp, we have to shoot for it, and then maybe...just maybe, we'll reach it someday." The maid said, "And if I remember correctly, there's this one little princess that wants to be a shinigami when she gets older." Chiyo nodded smiling. "All you have to do..."
"Is shoot for the sun..." Chiyo said as she closed her eyes and placed her hand behind her head again.
The next time she opened her eyes, it was way beyond dark. She made her way through the districts, finding her way home. "Chiyo-sama!" She heard someone yell. "Chiyo-sama! Where are you?!"
"What am I? A kid?" Chiyo said annoyed.
"What are you doing alone?" She turned to see Hisagi and the annoyance on her face grew into a glare. "I believe they're looking for you."
"And I believe you have no right to be here right now." She told him, glaring still. He didn't move an inch or show any sign that he would leave. "Why do you stalk me so?"
"Stalk? I think you're sadly mistaken." He told her. "Stalking is what one does when they cannot talk to the person they desire. I, on the other hand can talk to you freely, and do not have that trouble at all."
"So now you're saying you desire me?" She said looking a bit disgusted.
"No- that's not what I meant." He said quickly. "It's just-"
"Now you're saying I'm not pretty or desirable?" She said toying with him, but not letting up on his glare.
"No- you are very beautiful, and-" He stopped, "Youre doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
She let out a sly smile, "Never."
"Chiyo-sama!" The two turned to see one of the maids. "Chiyo-sama! Yaya-sama has been worried about you!"
"Oh-" Chiyo said innocently as she turned to the maid. "I am terribly sorry Jun-san. This is the vice captain of my squad. We were just talking about some things that had occured today in our squad and what ways we can improve them!" Chiyo said childlike and innocently. "Isn't that right, Hisagi-fuzentaicho?"
"H-hai!" He said completely thrown off by the sweet and innocent tone in her voice.
"Well, if that is what you were doing, then I am sure that Yaya-sama will be pleased to know that you are helping your squad out!" Jun said, "But Chiyo-sama, we need you back at the mansion."
"Okay Jun-san." Chiyo said before turning to Hisagi. Her face turned back to what he knew it as. "Thanks. And have a good night. Hisagi-fuzentaicho..." She said before turning and leaving with the maid.
"That...was very odd." He said before jumping off.
"That vice captain was very hansome, Chiyo-sama." Jun told her, "Do you take an interest in him?"
"Never." She said to herself. Before saying sweetly, "He's really strong, and if a great influence on the squad. Although Saeki-sama is my fiancee, Hisagi-fuzentaicho seems be found attractive by many of the girls on our squad and many others. I myself, at one point in time found him attractive too. But then I remembered Saeki-sama."
"That's really depressing." Jun said, "If Saeki-sama was not your fiancee, I think you and Hisagi-fuzentaicho would look cute together."
I think I just threw up in my mouth.... Chiyo thought as she gagged. She covered it up by saying, "but that will never happen." She smiled at Jun.
"Chiyo, you're going to be going on a mission with Tsuwan Tai Lee and Parika Tatsumi." Hisagi informed her as she entered the division. "You'll leave in about an hour, so make sure you know them. You're going to the human world for some practice against hollows."
"H-hollows?" Chiyo stuttered out.
Hisagi looked up at her from his desk, "Yes. Is there a problem with that?"
"No..." She said bowing her head. "It's just..."
"Just...?" He asked, looking back up from the paperwork he was working on.
"Nevermind..." She said, "thank you." She turned and left the office.
"Looks like I'm stuck with no skills, and no stregth..." Tai Lee sighed. "What am I ever to do?"
"If I remember correctly, you lost to me. So I'm guessing you have neither." Chiyo shot at her as the three girls met up. Tai Lee glared at her, electricity shooting between the two.
"We both have our zanpakutos, how about we settle that battle in the real world, no skills." Tai Lee shot.
"Hey hey- how about we don't. We're on this mission because we need to work together and harness our skills and our strength and our squad members." Tatsumi said, her glasses sliding off her nose as she dipped her head down quickly as the two other girls pulled out their zanpakutos and had them clash together above her head. "Please! No war!"
"How about I slice that smug look off your face." Tai Lee said as she pushed against Chiyo's zanpakuto.
"How about you back the hell up and we go our seperate ways once we hit the real world. We'll see who can kill the most hollows, and then we'll measure that for our skills." Chiyo said quickly. Hollows... She thought as she shook the thought off.
"Deal." Tai Lee said as they jumped apart and put their swords away. "But be prepared to lose, no skill."
"I never lose." Chiyo shot back as the gates open and they followed the hell's butterflies.
"Why, Hisagi-fuzentaicho... why did you put me on this mission with them?!" Tatsumi said to herself as she left behind the two who seemed to race through the tunnel.
"Do you really think it was a smart idea to throw those two on the same mission?" Kira asked Hisagi as they went through the gates to the real world minutes later.
"Of course." Hisagi grinned, "What's better than competitiveness between two rivals?"
"Um, coming back to Soul Society?" Kira said looking at Hisagi. "What if they kill eachother?"
"They won't." Hisagi said.
"And how do you know that?" Kira asked him.
"Chiyo is a stronger than Tai Lee, but Tai Lee has a lot of skill and so they're about evenly matched. I threw Tatsumi on the mission too, so maybe she'll be able to come out of her shell more, and maybe break the two of them up if anything does start. If that doesn't work, that's why I asked you to come with me on this trip to the real world. In case something does happen, I don't want to get stuck between two women in a fight." Hisagi explained, "Especially when it comes to Tai Lee and Chiyo."
"You make it sound as if they're of captain rank." Kira said.
"Once they both harness their zanpakutos, they might as well be." Hisagi said as they made it through the tunnel.
