Chapter Twenty-Six: Unexpected
Botan's breath came out in shaky as she continued to run from whatever the hell it was chasing her. It kept saying she smelt good and how he was going to eat her. He had gotten a hold of her at one point and she now harbored several bruises, significantly less spirit energy, and a long gash along her stomach.
"I'm so tired… but if I stop… he'll kill me! Damn this human body!" Botan huffed out as she ran through the park. Her body was aching and her chest felt on fire. The monster's energy seemed to disappear for now, but Botan wasn't about to stop till she made it to a portal. How she ended up here instead of with the others was a mystery to wait until she was safe.
But of course, she just had to turn her head around to see if the monster was still there, it was some type of reflex to not hearing him. 'No! Don't turn around stupid! I'll tr-' Her foot had caught a tree root and she ended up tripping and landing on her stomach.
She flipped around onto her back and braced herself for another attack. That thing was coming closer and here she was, eyes closed and hands out in front of her. She didn't even have enough energy to summon her oar.
"I will rip you apart, and eat you myself!" The Hollow laughed manically before reaching down to grab her, only to have his arm chopped off. When a loud wail pierced the air, Botan peeked up, only to see that black clothing of a Soul Reaper and long black hair. Botan's mouth went agape.
It wasn't every day that the captain of the 6th Division in the Gotei 13 and the 28th head of the noble Kuchiki clan came to your rescue. Once the monster was destroyed, Botan got to her feet on wooblely legs.
"Thank you so much, Byakuya-san!" Botan said, still in awe about the entire situation. He turned to her, his face blank and emotionless.
"Be careful around here. Ferry girls are a rare treat in this area, and Hollows love to devour them. Next time I won't be here to save you." Botan blushed but nodded, watching as he left. Botan sighed, placing a hand to her chest.
"Just wait until Ayame-chan hears that Byakuya-san saved me!" It almost made being attacked worth it.
