Captain Kyla: Chapter 6

Before the night fell

~Authors note ~

You. Yeah you, the one staring at the screen. This is important read me.

Just wanted to tell you guys that there's going to be more than just Kyla's p.o.v. I will be adding Renji's and Jade's to the mix and some others that I can't reveal yet.

~ Enjoy the story ~

After reaching the mall we immediately found a huge book store with miles of, wall to wall books.

Entering the huge store I look around examining the books on a shelf close by. Jade heads off somewhere, probably to find manga. Hmm wonder if they got any Goodkind. I think absentmindedly picking a book off the shelf. I think he has a new book out that I want to get for my collection. Looking around the huge store I search the G's. Ah there they are. Slowly I head towards that section. As I'm walking I look up and down the aisles for anything interesting. Stuffed Saphira dolls. I mentally exclaim. Upon seeing the doll's I head down the aisle I spotted them on. Reaching the display I unhook one of the blue stuffed dragons. Tucking it under my arm I look around, hoping to find the books in which the dragon is a character. Scanning the closest shelf I spy the thick paper bound books. Let's see here. Slowly I trace my finger down each book. Eragon got it, Eldest got it, Brisinger got it, Inheritance that's the one I need. Sliding it off the shelf with my hand I tuck it under my arm with the dragon. I take one final look at the shelf to make sure there's not anything else I want. Nothing. Where are the G's again? I ask myself looking at both ends of the isle. What isle am I even on? Wonder full I got lost in a book store. I think slapping my forehead. Well only one way to get UN lost in this situation. Taking a quick look around again, I make sure there's no one around. All clear good, don't need any one seeing what I'm about to do. Crouching down, I make sure my book and dragon are secure under my arm. Using just enough Reiatsu, I launch myself in to the air. I watch the shelf and books that inhabit it, with blurry vision as I speed through the air. Gently I land on top of the shelf. Looking around I begin searching for the sign I found earlier. There's Jade exactly where I knew she would be. I think seeing my lieutenant as I'm looking. There the damn thing is. Hopping over a few more shelf's I reach my destination. Jumping down from the tall shelf I land in the isle. Alright let's see here. Walking slowly down the aisle I search for Goodkind. Here they are. Now what ones did I want?Oh yeah it was, Naked Empire, Debt of bones and Omen Machine. Here's Debt of bones and there's Omen Machine, but where's Naked Empire? I ask myself sliding the two that I found off the shelf. Carefully I take another look at the shelf hoping to find the book. After reading nearly every tittle on the shelf I finally found it hiding on the very bottom. Come here you. Grabbing the book I put it under my arm with the others. OW! What the hell. I ask as something jabs me, looking down at the stack. This isn't going to work. Carefully I rearrange the books so I'm carrying them in my hands. Carrying the four books and stuffed dragon, barely able to see over them. I head towards Jade remembering what section I saw her in.

After slowly making my way past ten isles I find my lieutenant. Her blond curls are in disarray as she bounces from one manga to the next.

"Jade you ready to go yet?" I ask her.

She turns to me with a smile. Her full chest still jiggling from all the bouncing, as she comes to face me.

~Jade~

Slowly before turning to face my captain. I bend to pick up the stack of manga; I laid on the floor earlier.

"Yeah. Oh you have to see all the cool stuff I found" I reply with a smile. Slowly I walk toward the front with my petite little captain.

~Kyla~

Finally we reach the main desk. Setting my four books and doll down, I dig my wallet out of my pocket.

"Will this be all for you?" The clerk asks me.

"No. Jade put your stuff up there" I state moving aside so Jade can place her books on the desk.

"Kyla you don't have to pay for my stuff" Jade protests.

"It's ok Jade. Yamamoto gave me a special card to shop with. He told me to use it, to get anything we need" I explain. In the back ground the clerk listens patiently.

Nodding her head she slides her six books on the desk not wanting to argue.

"That will be one hundred Yen" The clerk states after scanning all the books.

"Here you go" I reply handing her the small paper thin card.

The clerk slid the card through some machine and it started printing a receipt. After handing the card and receipt to me, she began putting the books in a large blue shopping bag. Placing all the books neatly in the bag she hands it over to me.

Taking the blue bag from the clerk, Jade and I head for the exit.

"Where do you want to go now?" I ask Jade as we're walking towards the double glass doors that are a portal for going in and out of the huge store.

"Let's just wander around till we find something interesting" Jade replies as we're reaching the double doors. Quickly scurrying past me she opens the doors so I can pass. Thank you. I mentally thank her for saving me the trouble and head ache of opening the doors with this heavy bag in hand.

"Kyla Taicho"

"Yes?" I ask Jade. Turning to look at her after I'm free from the doors.

"I didn't say anything" Jade replies walking out the door.

"Then who called me?" I ask her suspicion and anxiety creeping up on me. Shit who's here that would know I'm captain besides Ichigo, Rukia, Renji and Toshiro? OK calm down Ky, it's probably one the soul reapers posted here. Now I just need to figure out which one. Hmm how am I going to find a soul reaper in a mall? The best way would be to feel around for spiritual pressure. Slowly I start to feel around for spiritual pressure. Renji? Rukia? Toshiro? What are they doing...? Who's this; I don't recognize the spiritual signature that's specific to every person.

"I think it was her" Jade says pointing to the girl I just sensed. It was a girl with long orange tresses that falls just past her shoulders, light Grey eyes set into a heart shaped face, she looks about Jades height; who is five foot five. Speaking of Jade this girl's bosom is bigger than hers. Looking at the two girls... damn I'm glad I don't have a chest that size. I like my little bosom. I think, subconsciously placing my free hand on said bosom.

Renji~

"Who are you waving at Orihime?" Rukia asks Orihime whom she saw waving at someone, as we're coming out of the store.

"Oh Rukia. Look it's that new captain, Kyla that you told everyone about" Orihime says to Rukia upon seeing her.

"Let's go say Hi" Rukia replies.

Looking around the two chatting girls I see her Kika The dark blue tank she wore stood out in the mass of people making her easy to recognize. Her long golden hair swept to one shoulder, piercing green eyes analyzing Orihime accessing any threat she might pose. Her blond headed lieutenant is with her pointing in our direction probably at Orihime.

"Renji you coming?" Rukia asks me. I look over to find her looking at me with an annoyed gaze, hands on her hips tapping her foot impatiently on the clay tiles that line the floor. If I hadn't replied when I did, I'd probably be laying on the floor bleeding out.

"Yah I'm coming" I snap.

"That girl over there has had Abarai here hypnotized, since she walked in the doors of Urahara's shop." Toshiro interjects pointing to Kika as he speaks. Hey she doesn't have me hypnotized or does she? I don't think I'd know it if I was.

"That would explain the zoned-out look he had a minuet ago"

"So Ren has a crush on Kyla… have you talked to her yet? Does she like you?" Rukia asks part teasing part caring.

"It isn't a crush and I have talked to her in fact were going on a date today. Whether she "likes" me back or not I don't know." I reply to her questioning in a matter of fact tone. I wish I knew myself if she likes me back or not.

"What time is your date?" She asks completely ignoring everything else I said. Kami no! I think she wants to help.

"We didn't set a time I just said I'd call her today and we'd go do something" I explain to the overly excited Rukia. I really hope I can make her not want to help.

"Well now you don't have to call her" "Oh! You should take her to Yanara's for dinner tonight Ichigo and I went last week. The food there is amazing" Rukia exclaims. Actually that dinner idea doesn't sound too bad.

"Oh that's so romantic" Orihime exclaims from her place behind Rukia.

"Don't tell anyone, but Ichi is secretly a romantic" Rukia replies to the girl.

"Ah! Now I have black mail on the strawberry. He won't be able to hold that photo of me over my head anymore" I state, thinking of evil ways to use this information.

"You mean the one where your hair was bleached pink thanks to some of My shampoo?" Rukia asks an evil smirk decorating her face. It was her should have known. She must have planted the shampoo. My hair was pink for days before it finally went back to normal.

"It was you. I should have known you're going to pay for that, but first how did Ichigo get the picture?" I ask, thinking of ways to get the midget back.

"I didn't know he had it" She states looking innocent. Right.

"Let's go say Hi to Ky, then we'll leave you two alone so you can spend time together" She says changing the subject.

At the mention of Kika I look in her direction to see her heading our way. Guess she got done studying Orihime and has decided to come talk to us.

Rukia and Orihime head toward Kyla and Jade weaving in and out of the crowd like experts. Toshiro and I follow in their stead.

"Rukia Renji what are yall doing here?" Kyla remarks as we reach them "And who's this that called me?" She asks pointing at Orihime.

"This is Orihime" Rukia answers her question.

"We were just looking at the new dresses Beal's put out today. They are super cute you should look at them when you have time" Rukia replies.

"And somehow we managed to get dragged along" I state rolling my eyes at Rukia and Orihime. It's no mystery really. Rukia came over to our house at ten am demanding we go shopping with them. She also said if we didn't go she would slowly dice us to pieces. So here we are.

"What are you two doing?" Rukia asks Kyla.

"We just got done buying some books. As we were exiting the store, Orihime here called us over" Kyla explains to Rukia lifting up a blue shopping bag as proof.

"I just had to say hi, Rukia told me why you're here. When the time comes I want to go back with the others" Orihime states stepping forward shoulders squared eyes locked on Ky's. I think that's bravest I've seen the girl act in the time I've known her.

"I don't think Yamamoto will approve that but, if you really want go back with us I'll give you a place as an officer on my squad." Kyla replies her face devoid of any emotion. I seen her use that face when she greeted us at Urahara's shop it reminds me of Byakuya Taicho.

"I accept" Orihime replies.

"Good. Here is my phone number and address, tomorrow we will get the paper work done and make a schedule for training sessions" Kyla states. "Jade. Send a message to Kira asking him to send the necessary paper work" She asks turning to her lieutenant.

"I was going to look around some more any of you guys want to join me?" Kyla asks. She looks at me with a smile on her face and questioning eyes that are seeking and answer.

"I would love too" I reply answering the question in her eyes and returning the smile. Her eyes light up with joy after hearing this. I love those deep green eyes of hers.

"Thanks, but Orihime and I are going to her place. We're going to make a mango and pineapple upside down cake" Rukia replies.

"That sounds yummy" Kyla states. With Orihime and Rukia making the cake yummy no…. more like asking what it is while poking it with a stick.

"I'll bring you a piece tomorrow" Orihime replies. The two girls head off for Orihime's place. For Kika's safety I'm going to burn that piece of cake.

"Jade would you like to come meditate with me at the park?" Toshiro asks interrupting the silence that started after Rukia and Orihime left. Jade looks at Ky, eyes silently asking if its ok. Ky gives her a smile and nod. I guess that means its ok.

"Sure" Jade replies. Having said that the two make their way out of the shopping center disappearing into the crowd as they go.

"Looks like it's just going to be the two of us today" Kyla states turning to look at me. Her dark green eyes alight with emotion and delight. A few stray hairs dance across her cheek as she looks at me. Wow one moment completely emotionless and the next this why I wonder…. training maybe.

"Come on let's get something to eat before we look around" I tell her taking the blue bag full of books from her and heading toward the food court.

~Kyla~

After saying come on Renji makes one swift move taking my bag of books from my hand and starts walking off. I just stare after him in shock. Red hair bobs up and down from its usual pony tail as he's walks away, stopping half way down the hall he turns to look at me one eye brow raised brown eyes looking at me questioningly. Why did he take my bag? Why is he looking at me like that withthose brown eyes of his? What is that look I can't understand it? Odd I can always read peoples expressions very easily but with him it's hard. The feeling of his spiritual pressure it's strange but oddly familiar somehow. But what? It doesn't feel like a visard or any of the other abnormal beings we have recorded. I'll check out his file when I have free time just to put my mind at ease.

"You coming Kika?" Renji asks still looking at me with questioning eyes. Nodding I quickly walk to where is standing. He flashes me a smile before we head off to the food court. We make our way down the crowed hall in silence not awkward silence just silence.

"So what are you hungry for?" Renji asks breaking the silence as we reach the food court.

"I don't know" I reply a slight blush coloring my cheeks.

"Pizza it is then" Renji replies smiling at my red cheeks. Taking my hand he leads me to pizza stand. Guiding me through the maze of food stands the smell of every food imaginable lingered in the air, shiny blue and orange tile squeaked under my flip flops, hundreds of colors blur my vision as we walk toward a small pizza stand. Again with the leading.

"Pepperoni or supreme?" He asks me as were waiting in line. His soft brown eyes glimmer with something I can't identify as he looks at me.

"Supreme" I reply. Looking up I notice we're next, about five minutes pass before the woman I front of us gets her food and leaves. Letting go of my hand Renji steps forward to give the tenant our order. "Three pieces of supreme to go" He says to the tenant. The man nods and hurries to the side where he puts three pieces of pizza in a box. Closing the lid on the box he returns to us box in hand "Ok its ten yen" The tenant states. Renji hands the man ten yen and takes the box. Looking at me he nods towards an empty table that's not far away. Understanding I head toward the table Renji close behind. After Pulling out chairs for me and Renji we sit down.

After we finished our pizza we wandered around the mall for a few hours browsing the shops, finding a few things we wanted, getting to know each other as we wandered.

"See you in an hour" I say to Renji as were standing on my front porch. Handing my shopping bags to me he gives me a quick hug. Kissing my cheek as he lets me go leaving me standing there without anther word he heads off down the street towards his house. Why me? I think fingering the place he kissed I don't deserve him but I want him but I don't deserve to be loved I'm a monster a freak that's why my parents kicked me out. I don't understand why he likes me so, there's nothing to like but maybe I'm not a complete monster. I guess I'll give this a go and see how it turns out I hope It will last. Well I better go get ready.

Walking down the hall I hear voices peeking in the living room I find jade and Toshiro siting on the couch talking up a storm.

"Hi" I call to the couple "How long you guys been here?"

"Not long thirty minutes or so" Jade answers.

"Did you and Renji have fun?" She asks.

"Yeah we did in fact we're going to diner in an hour" I reply.

"Well I'm going to go get ready see you guys later" I exclaim before heading for my room.

After pushing the door closed I dump my bag of stuff out on the bed

As I begin to sort through the books and articles of clothing something catches my eye a beautiful hot pink boyfriend tee and a pair of acid wash skinny jeans lay on the bed. A note was attached to them it read

Something pretty to wear for your date tonight

Have fun

Love Rukia

How did she know we were going out tonight? She must have given Renji the idea to take me out, cute outfit though. Also how does she know where I live…Urahara? Oh well this will save me some time… now let's see how do I want my hair, up, curly, stair, hmm….. Wait why do I feel like something is missing from my room … it's probably in my head this room is still new to me so everything seems out of place.

~Renji~

Where is my black dress shirt? I know it's here somewhere… ah there it is and there's my favorite jeans hanging next to it. Grabbing the jeans and shirt I make my way out of the small closet. As emerge from the closet something siting on the bed catches my eye. Zavier how did he get here on the bed next to the bear is a note it reads

Renji

This bear is close to Ky's heart it has been her only comfort since her uncle died a few years ago he gave it to her when she was young ever since then she has always held it close.

I give it to you for safe keeping and in hopes that you'll take his place next to her heart

You're not the first who has tried but I see a sparkle in her eyes when you're near that I've never seen before.

Ps she doesn't know Zavier's gone yet and if she does notice she going to go on a man hunt just a friendly warning if I were you I'd tell her I have him so that doesn't happen.

~Sincerely Jade

"Huh guess your bunking with me from now on Zavier" I tell the bear after reading the note.

"Don't worry I'll keep you safe" I state picking up the bear and holding it close. As I hold it close I smell the sweet scent of coconut and vanilla that is Kyla. Closing my eyes I remember the soft texture of her cheek and that sweet smell filling my nose.

"Alright Zavier its time to get ready for my date with your mommy" I say setting the bear down on the bed.

An hour later

I hope she's ready I think to myself as I park my truck in the drive.

Getting out I walk up to the door and ring the bell.

"Hi Renji come on in she's almost ready" Jade says looking slightly flushed answering the door. I wonder… her and Toshiro seem to be getting closer hmm. I follow her down the short hall to the living room.

"Have a seat while I go tell her you're here" Jade commands walking out of the room and down the hall.

Taking a seat on the soft tan couch I watch as Jade disappears into Ky's room. I strain to hear what they say but it is muted by a soft music coming from the room. I fiddle with my red locks as I wait; five minutes have passed since Jade went to get her. Finally I hear footsteps approaching looking up I see Jade come out first then Kyla she's dressed in a hot pink tee and skin tight jeans her hair done up in a lose bun that accents her face, smoky eye liner making her eyes glow all of it combined was stunning.

"Wow" is all I could mutter the very sight of her made my mouth dry. Hearing this a slight blush colored her cheeks. She doesn't realize how beautiful she really is.

"Don't wait up love" Kyla utters to Jade afterwards the girl disappears down the hall.

"Come on pineapple lets go" Kika says to me.

"Or you going stare at me all night?" She asks play fully standing before me hands on her hips looking willful and stunning at the same time. Hmm I've never seen this side of her before I like it.

"My truck is outside let's go" I reply finally managing to speak. Getting up I head towards the door Kika at my side.

~Kyla~

"I didn't know you had a vehicle" I reply as were walking towards the door.

"Well after being here a few years I figured it'd be use full to have one" He answers as he's opening the door for me. Such a gentle man.

"Yes they are incredibly useful Yama finally let them in soul society after a lot of pleas from the captains and a joy ride courtesy of yours truly" I reply.

"Sadly my suburban will not be here for two weeks when Denaria and Kira are to join us"

"I guess I'll just have to make you drive me around till then, if that's ok with you" I ask playfully.

"My stead is at your command my lady" Renji reply's dropping down one knee and bowing in the middle of the yard.

"Thank you so much my kind sir" I reply. Mine he's mine for now.

"Shall we be off to diner my lady" Renji asks pointing to a black z71 Chevrolet truck sitting in my drive.

"Yes lets go" I reply. I start heading for the truck ah what the hell suddenly I'm swooped off the ground by Renji the spicy smell of his skin fills my nose, soft red hair brushes my face, strong muscles grip my body all of it was too over whelming….

~Renji~

Shit!

A few seconds after I picked ky up she just black out.

"Kika are you ok?" I asked while shaking her shoulder which was very difficult to do while holding on to her.

She begins to stir at the touch suddenly I feel her hand wrap around my throat….

Looking down I see her eyes are still closed must be a subconscious reaction…. an odd sensation that feels like another presence is in my mind comes over me… I try turning my head to look around but nothing happens my body wouldn't respond…

"Look at me" I hear Kika demand suddenly from my arms. My head moves to look at her but I'm not in control…. Control! her power I forgot about that shit what the hell has come over her…

"Ah you are the pet my master is so fond of, you're probably wondering who I am right? Well I 'am Zylina the source of Kyla's power I am not hollow nor Zanpakuto. I am similar to that of a Zanpakuto spirit for I am a weapon and a

part of her soul born into her from birth…I am a Rialaith"

"My master is very fond of you but is unsure of herself she believes I am a curse in time I will teach her better but before that can happen she needs to accept me in this I need your help. I v watched how you care for her without fear of me with your love I think she can get past this fear in time we shall see. I am giving her control now but this is not the last time we will speak …"

~Kyla~

What the hell did I feint? I thought waking up in Renji's arms.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked wondering why he kept staring at me with this odd expression.

"Its nothing love" Renji replied dodging my question. I decided not to push him that he would tell me in time, I hoped he would any way.

"Come on were late for diner and if we don't get there soon their going to rent our table to some one else" Renji stated breaking me from my thoughts to remind me that we had some where to be.

The evening had gone wonderfully the food was great Renji was adoring and I couldn't wait for more time with him as watched him drive away in his pickup before going in the house.

As I undressed slowly I found my bed looking so very soft today had been long and tiresome but I would do it all again without a second thought.

Thank you my dear lovely readers for being so patient with me now chapter 6 is officially finished
