Gaaaah it's been too long since I've updated on the third chapter for this fanfic, and I'm honestly sorry. Studies really are a pain... but I did have time to write chapters out for it; I just haven't had the time to proofread and publish.
And so, Chapter 3! (The rest will be published as soon as possible)
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach. And if I did I would have remembered to put some panel time for those other characters who hardly get panel time! D:
"Kaye..."
"Rie..."
3... 2... 1...
"OH MY FREAKING AIZEN!" We both squealed to our hearts content.
"Rie did you fucking just see that? The Espadas were just there, really there, and the Espada's meeting room is better that I've totally expected! Tell me I'm not dreaming! And you, my friend, officially rock. The 'innocence' scheme and us as 'Younha' and 'Yui', HA! I cannot believe we just lied to them and I so cannot believe what just happened!" Kaye blabbered on excessively.
"Hell yeah man! They were honestly there. And I was so close to fainting when Szayel touched me, WOOO~! I don't really care what's going on but all I know is that Szayel is goddamn hot up close and personal! AAAAAHHH we're so on high right now!"
… Let's just say that this discussion was as close to never-ending but managed to stop around twenty minutes before we dropped dead on the red rug panting from our rambling.
I looked up to the ceiling from where I had laid and began to really think about the reality of our situation. So, it began with us walking to the park and next thing you know the Garganta pops out of nowhere and we wildly go in. Then the path lead us smack-bang in the middle of the meeting room where the Espadas and Aizen were coincidentally there. Then Aizen suddenly chucked the Hogyokou at me that suddenly did something. And now we're sent at this cruddy cell still mildly confused. Interesting… And a whole lot of 'WTF'. Worst-case-scenario through, what if we'll never get out of here? Or even worst, what if we'll never get out of this world?
"Rie..." Kaye whispered making me snap out of my thoughts, "Do you think they heard us yelling?"
I chuckled. Kaye's optimism always does cheer me up. Her being blissfully aware of reality makes me feel I should do the same, so I couldn't possibly tell her how bad our situation is. I mean just the thought of not going back home.. And not ever seeing our family and friends… I could feel the pile of bricks stacking on top of me. But I had to discard the thought and replied gladly,
"In all the episodes not once did I see the transmissions in Las Noches include speakers," Kaye laughed and soon I laughed along with her filling the room with our giddy bursts.
Kaye then got up and dusted off her clothes once again. There were spots of dirt clearly visible on her dress but she couldn't do anything to clean it off. Kaye briskly walks around the holding cell and abruptly gasped, "Rie! Do you have any idea where we are?"
I stood and raised a brow at her, "Didn't we go over this already? We're in Las Noches…"
"Not that stupid. Look around, don't you see? We're in Inoue Orihime's cell!" she started prancing around in circles. She pointed to the long pale blue couch then to the high barred window in the middle which showed the eminent crescent moon of Las Noches.
"... Oh yeah... we are... but, what does it matter?"
"It matters because we can do whatever we want in this universe! Am I right or am I just right?" No. Well actually... Kaye is right! The fact that Inoue Orihime isn't occupying this room must mean that Aizen hasn't executed his plans yet; and also, the fact we know all the characters and what happens in the series, we can pretty much change the whole outcome of the story! Right? The consequences? Heck, we'll deal with that later.
"Kaye, you genius!" I smacked her on the shoulders to congratulate her moment of epiphany. "But how the hell can we do any changes to this bloody world if we're stuck here?"
Kaye stopped. Well she's stumped, and so am I. They probably would leave us here to rot since we're useless to them anyways and begging them to let us go is highly unlikely. Oh jeez, and I wanted to explore and see all the other characters too!
I started pacing across the room and Kaye sat down on the sofa. The both of us began passing each other ideas on our jailbreak.
"Oh! How about one of us pretend to have a seizure and the other desperately calls for help from them?" Kaye sat up.
"No. They wouldn't care."
"How about saying we have to pee?"
"No. They wouldn't even bother."
"Young ladies' time of the month?"
"Awkward, so no."
Not one realistic and possible to perform idea popped up and we were starting to give up hope on escaping this place. Kaye sighed and flopped down on the couch as I continued to pace. Pacing helped me to calm down and kept me sane. They haven't returned to the room for more than an hour now so I really believed they were going to leave us here. I stopped still in front of a wall and clenched my fists on my sides. I closed my eyes tight and thought of one final resort deep into my mind. Nothing.
"AAAAAHHH CRAP!" I slammed my fists hard onto the concrete wall and at that moment a blast of black beam destroyed the wall it came in contact with. Pieces of grey from the wall scattered on the floor as I blinked several times. 'Holy-What the flip was that?' was all I could think of. Kaye immediately ran up to me.
"Hey! Are you alright? Rie!" I stood there mouth agate as she furiously swayed me. I shook my head and gave her a long grin.
"Dude! Did you just see that?"
"No kidding! How did you do that?" Before we could begin our never-ending episode again I heard commencing static noises coming in from the distance. 'It must be Arrancars on their way from hearing that explosion,'. I didn't bother to explain to Kaye my cluelessness prior to me blasting that wall and immediately grabbed her wrist as we both started to run into the simply confusing halls of Las Noches. We took quick skids to the left, right, then right again and so on but the halls didn't look any different. Kaye was already panting heavily and slowed her pace down until it came to a complete stop. She was doubling down and catching her breath.
"K-Kaye, we have to move!" I said between breaths and leaned against the wall. It was unfair; they had sonido! What I'd give for a cheat-run like that. I scanned the area for some sort of door to hide inside. "Shit," I cursed as steps began to echo loudly in the halls and there was still no damn door around. I slammed the wall beside me, stared, and wondered if I could do the same blast of black on the wall again. Kaye wearily looked at me.
"Heck, if there's no door, we'll just make our own!" I slammed my fists hard onto the wall again and thank God it worked! I could feel a hint of strong rush of flare inside me and out through the base of my fists. It shattered the piece with a loud boom and a large hole was made. I slowly brought my fists up and looked closely at them. 'How on earth did I just do that?' My hands didn't feel any different and I always get an ecstatic rush welling inside before it releases that black beam. 'Am I hungry or something...?'
Shrugging, I grabbed Kaye again as we dashed through the obliterated wall and made a right. There was a large white door on the left side of the hall and without a second thought we made a run there. It took the both of us on full strength to push the grand door. We sneaked in and gently closed the door from the inside. Our ears were planted on the door as we carefully tried to hear the footsteps coming close and then distancing away. We happily let out a sigh of relief knowing they lost our tracks.
"Just in time I see, Younha, Yui?" hearing the deep, devious voice behind us, I swear the room suddenly turned into a blizzard since we were both frozen solid. We creaked slowly to turn and found we had landed to yet another familiar room with so familiar people. Aizen Souke, sitting on his white chair with the whole landscape of Hueco Mundo behind him, smirked at us as if waiting for the answer to his rhetorical question.
