I don't own Bleach.
Meeting
"Ya don't need to be so nervous, ya know." Ggio decidedly ignored the voice behind him as he stared at his reflection, his hands toying with the collar of his uniform. Ggio was being sent with Shinji to Karakura High School as a sophomore to try and recruit Ichigo. Actually, it was more like Shinji was recruiting, and Ggio was getting a human education. Oh well, it was better than spending the day staring at the sky wondering if it would fall on him if he stared long enough.
Ggio finally stopped his musings and looked behind him. "Kindly shut up, Shinji." The blonde in response shrugged and reached out, ruffling the tiger's hair.
"Aw, you'll be fine, Tiger." With that last statement, the two left the warehouse and began walking to their new school.
When they finally got there, they were introduced to the class with another new student, named Soi Fon. Throughout the entire class, Ggio kept glancing at Soi Fon, remembering her from the fight. It seemed she didn't remember him, though. Despite his best efforts, Ggio wasn't able to hide the slight hurt that caused. The class had taken well to Ggio, not even Soi Fon seem to think him suspicious. On the other hand, Shinji was labeled as "slightly creepy" and was the main target of Soi Fon's cautious looks.
Sucked to be Shinji.
At the end of the day, as everyone was leaving, Soi Fon accidentally dropped her books in the hallway. Ggio, who saw the incident while leaving, felt the rules beat into his head flare to life. Sighing in frustration – 'I'm starting to feel like a trained dog' – Ggio approached the girl and helped her gather her books. Shinji had already decided to leave and confront Ichigo, so he wasn't in any hurry.
"Thanks." Soi Fon said curtly, and Ggio smiled back.
"It's no bother. I don't mind helping such a cute girl." He said the last part with a wink, and Soi Fon blushed slightly before regaining her composure and glaring at him without any heat. Ggio ignored the look and held out his hand.
"I don't think we've met formally; my name is Ggio Vega." Soi Fon bowed her head slightly and clasped his hand in greeting.
"Soi Fon." Ggio smiled at her response and raised her hand, kissing the back of it quickly before lowering it again. Soi Fon blushed again and ripped her hand out of his hold. Ggio again ignored her glare and bowed formally before turning to leave.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Soi Fon-san." And with that, he was gone from sight.
Outside, Ggio continued to smile at the warm feeling that had made itself known in his chest, and murmured, "A pleasure indeed."
As a note, the Vizards nicknamed Ggio 'Tiger' and 'Cub', and Saber calls Tigre 'Tiger' as a joke. Both the Hollow and zanpakutou will call Ggio 'Cub' as a term of endearment.
I'm sorry this is kinda late, I wanted to see if I could think of anything else to add. Incidentally, this is so short because I couldn't think of anything else to add.
Please review.
Ja ne!
