Chapter 3
"What did you just say? You really will take me back to the human world!" the girl excitedly said.
"Well ya, I see no problem with it and I'm sure Inoue and Sado won't mind (meaning to leave Ishida out). I just wanna know why you want to go there. Wait, if you're a shinigami then can't you go to the living world alone?"
"Umm, I don't know how to. And I have my own reasons for wanting to go."
Just then Orihime walked in. "Ah Kurosaki-kun there you are. Have you seen…oh who is that beside you?" she cut off when she saw Ienka.
"Hello, you must be Inoue! Ichigo was just talking about you." Ienka held her hand out and said, "Ienka, nice to meet you."
Orihime looked surprised and shook this new girl's hand. Kurosaki-kun was talking about me? A light blush fell on her face. I wonder what they were discussing.
Backing away from Orihime, the strange girl bowed her head and asked, "Inoue-san I beg of you to allow me to come to the human world with you and Ichigo."
"What? Why do you…" Ichigo cut her off "don't bother, she won't tell you."
"Eh? That's rude of you Ichi, I just won't tell you. Now Orihime is it? I want to go cause there's someone I want to see who I haven't seen in a while" She turned her head to Ichigo, this time grinning devilishly at him.
The rust haired girl stared at Ienka and put her finger to her chin, "You haven't seen this person in along time. How important were they to you?"
"I owe them my life."
"Then of coarse! Kurosaki-kun how could you deny this poor little girl a chance to see someone that important!" Orihime embraced Ienka like she would a teddy bear. As she did this, the aqua haired girl's eyes drew an innocent look.
"First off, she's not little, Ienka is just as tall if not taller than you. Secondly, she never told me that!"
"Sure she didn't… well anyway Kurosaki-kun, have you seen Kuchiki-san?"
"Nope" Ienka stared at the two disappointed that she was left out of the conversation.
"Well I am gonna try to find her. See ya later! And nice to meet you Ienka-san." The peppy Inoue ran off in search of their raven-haired friend.
"So who is this Kuchiki girl you two were talking about? Does she have any relation to the man you were fighting on…"Ienka cut her self off.
"How do you know about my fight with Byakuya?"
The bluish-haired girl realized her blunder, "I... um, Anyway is that the girl they were going to execute?"
"Why are you changing the subject?"
"Actually it was you who changed it in the first place."
"What ever, yes she was the girl Azien planned on executing."
"Azien did?" Ichigo remembered that she was unconscious whenit was revealed that the former captain was a traitor.
"Long story, anyway, I'm going to help Inoue find Rukia" he too went out of the room.
King that was mean of ya. Leaving that girl all alone.
She was annoying me kind of like you are now. Since when have you decided to bug me like this?
To many questions… Between you and that woman.
Have you started taking a liking to someone? Out of all things I didn't imagine you would refer to someone like that.
There's something about her that makes her different than anyone you've run into before. I can't figure out what it is though.
When you figure it out come back to me on that. Better yet, STAY OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD!
They better come back for me. If they forget me and leave me all alone, I will hunt them down. I hope they don't break their promise and leave me in this hell pool. Sempai, out of all people, you better remember me if, no, WHEN I see you again.
Ienka could only think to herself when Ichigo and Orihime left the simple room.
"God, Ichigo better come back. Why am I always… ug," a pain shot through the girls head. " LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Hanatarou was walking past the room where that new shinigami was placed. He heard the girl scream.
"Ienka-chan is anything wrong?" the curious Hana asked.
His eyes met two sad ones filled with nothing but empty-ness. "No, I'm fine."
She crouched down into a ball and just sat there. Hanatarou just thought it was best to leave the girl as she was. "Ok if you're sure you'll be alright."
Flashback
A short little bluish hair girl stood facing he foster mother. "Hazumi-sama, why do I have to wear this stupid white and red outfit?"
"Today is your first day at the academy and that is what the wear there. I know you really don't know anyone but me, so this can both be an opportunity to meet new people and become a shinigami!"
The day after the two met, Hazumi went to check out the room where the child had been found. Maybe someone knew who the orphan's parents were. Much to her surprise, the room had been completely cleaned out and no trace of the brutal scene remained. No one had heard about the murder and when Hazumi asked bystanders they thought she was mad. Only the woman knew that anything had occurred, her proof being the infant child. She decided to raise the child and keep her secret until she was old enough to train as a shinigami.
A few years had passed since Ienka had been found. Presently the toddler would be three in human years. Hazumi decided it best to tell her that she was not her true mother. Ienka took this well and said, "I bet my real mom would be just as good as you."
"What if no one likes me or what if I get laughed at cause I don't do well?" the curious Ienka asked.
"How could no one like you! And you will do fine. Just remember what I have been teaching you here." The purple haired woman patted the child's head and led her to where the academy was.
End
"Rukia are you sure you want to stay here?" Ishida asked.
"Why would I not! After all, this is where I am originally from."
"I just promised we wouldn't let you be executed so let her be. Now are we all ready to go back?" Ichigo and company were standing by the gate that would lead them back to the living world.
Orihime was about to say she was ready to go anytime but suddenly she remembered, "WAIT! What about that Ienka girl? Didn't we promise would let her come back with us to see that person?"
"Who?" Ishida and Sado simultaneously said confused.
"Damn we forgot. Hold on while I go get her." Ichigo ran of shunpoing to save time.
Flashback
"My first was so bad! No one noticed me. I don't wanna go back!" Ienka came home to Hazumi crying.
"It couldn't be that bad. I mean you managed to bring out your zanpakto on your first day. I could only do that on my third." Hazumi tried to comfort the sobbing girl.
"A couple of people did that and I wasn't paired to practice combat cause there was an odd number of people. At kido I was just average so…"
End
Ienka was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Ichigo call her name.
"What were you doing on the floor looking all depressed?"
"Just thinking to myself since you left me and all, anyway what do you want?" Immediately she snapped up and her happy attitude returned.
"We are leaving and if you really want to come to the living world you better come on."
Within a matter of minutes they reached the gateway.
"Hello everyone!" Ienka started to introduce herself, "For you two have not heard my name, I am Ienka and will be joining you back to the world you come from."
"No time for intros. The gate is opening." Ichigo interrupted Ishida who was about to greet the new girl. "When I say go, jump in and don't stop running"
"Why?" Ienka wondered.
"GO!"
They jumped in all at the same time except for Ienka who came right after. All she did was shunpo in front of the group and was caught up.
When the group came out of the tunnel connecting the worlds, they were standing in mid air. If it were not for the flying carpet which caught them, Ishida, Sado, and Inoue would have fallen to their deaths.
"Ohiyo!" a familiar voice greeted them, his face hidden by a striped hat and a fan.
Ienka felt a strange feeling as if this voice had come from a long lost friend.
"Sempai?"
The man in the green coat turned around and lowered his fan. His face was awestricken.
"Ienka-san? Is that you?"
"Urahara-sempai! I missed you." Tears of happiness flooded the girl's face as she tackled the former captain.
"You know her?!?" a surprised Ichigo asked.
Ichigo's question was ignored when all heard al loud smack.
"THAT'S FOR LEAVING ME ALL ALONE URAHARA!"
Yay another chapter done.
I like reviews. Flames will be accepted if they are CONSTRUCTIVE.
This was a longer chapter to get the story moving.
About bringing out the zanpakto it doesn't mean knowing its name, it just means bringing it out. They still haven't explained the whole normal way of becoming a shinigami.
