Tairei9: Everyone already knows the disclaimer, so I really shouldn't need to say it again. Do I? Well anyway, on with the story!! Now where did we leave off?
Recap: "Arigato miss!! Bye-bye!" Kumiko said waving as Ichigo left.
"Bye Kumiko! I'll see you latter," the teacher said in a girly voice. When they were far enough away, Ichigo said, "You over did it."
"Hey it worked didn't it?" Kumiko said, looking arou-
Tairei9: No that's not it!!!! Forward some!!!
Recap: "WEEEEE!!" There was a big slash and Ichigo spat out the water.
"NANI!! Kumiko!! What are you doing!!?"
"Jumping in!"
"You-you can't come in here!!"
"Why? I have something on."
"Yeah but I don't!!"
Tairei9: That's still not it people!!! Go forward more!!!
Recap: "Hey, guys. Where is Kumiko?" Ichigo asked.
"Oh, Ichigo, she is right…" Yoruichi said in her masculine cat voice. Her eyes suddenly went wide, hair and tail standing on end, and her jaw dropped. Very much like chapter five.
"HEY! KUMIKO!! KUMIKO COME BACK HERE!! COME BACK HERE NOW!!" Yoruichi screeched as Kumiko ran after a unique looking bird. It was gold, black, and blue. It looked like a swan with a bigger tail. The group of Captains and Vice captains along with Ichigo's group watched the black cat chase after Kumiko. They all laughed, except Byakuya who just held a shadow of a smile on his face and Ichigo who just shook his head smili-
Tairei9: Come on, people, don't you remember where we left off!!!
Renji: You should!!! You're the author!! Alright I think this is it…
Recap: Hanging right above there heads……………………… was mistletoe.
That's right, mistletoe.
"You can't be serious!" Ichigo shouted as Orihime went deathly pale.
"Don't complain lets just give a peck on the cheek and be done with it," Renji said, shaking his head. Then the girl voice laughed from above, but this time another girl's voice began to laugh too.
"Oh no, we haven't explained the rules. There are two rules to this game. Rule number one: the kiss must be done at the same time as all the others."
"Fine!" Renji huffed becoming annoyed.
"Rule number two: The kiss has to be on the mouth and last a whole seven seconds."
"What!!" Rukia, Renji, Orihime, and Ichigo exclaimed. Byakuya and Yoruichi stared at each other wide eyed.
"And what if we don't," Byakuya said.
"Then your little friend will vanish," the girl said.
"Little… friend?" Ichigo cautiously.
"Ichi-ni-san?" The voice was quivering.
"Kumiko!!" Ichigo yelled, "Give her back!!"
"We will, unless you will not cooperate," the voice said softly.
"Damn it!! Kumiko!!" Ichigo shouted, furious.
"Stop it, Ichigo!! Shouting isn't going to help!!" shouted Renji. He then sighed and looked at everyone.
"What are we going to do?" Renji asked.
"Obviously, we really don't have a choice," Ichigo said, "So let's just do it and be done with it."
Byakuya shut his eyes for a moment. He certainly didn't want to do this. In fact he really didn't want to do this. But if the child was endangered to unknown enemy… then it would be best to go along with it.
"Fine," Renji said, muttered. Byakuya nodded and Yoruichi gave a rather stiff nod.
"Alright on the count of three. One… two………"
"…three."
Each one was kissing with their eyes closed, not noticing the camera flashes going off high up into the silvery vine like tree.
"-five, six, seven!" the girls voice said cheerfully. The vines let them go and the entire tree like thing disappeared. Renji, Rukia, Ichigo, and Orihime were groaning sitting up on the ground. Byakuya and Yoruichi were just standing there. Byakuya began to walk away as Yoruichi crossed her arms, smirking victoriously.
"My, my Little Byakuya," Yoruichi said, teasingly, "I didn't know you were such a kisser. I would almost say-
Tairei9: Okay, forward more.
Renji: Did you just sit there watching that part!!??
Tairei: Just go forward, Mr. Pucker up.
Recap: "KUMIKO!! COME BACK HERE!!" Yoruichi shouted, horrified, "KUMIKO, COME BACK HERE NOW!!" Yoruichi flash stepped and tried to seize the child but only for her to flash step after the chipmunk, which was jumping up on the huge pieces of rock.
"KUMIKO!! My goodness the child must be deaf!!" Yoruichi said, groaning.
Kumiko reached for the chipmunk only to slip on a loose piece of rock. She tumbled down, and-
Tairei9: FORWARD!!!
Renji: FINE!!!
Recap: "But you didn't feel any bount reiatsu."
"So it's just like the real world here as well," Rukia sighed.
"I want a cookie," Kumiko said, thought-
Tairei9: Don't make me repeat my self.
Recap: "-you and we bounts are alike," Kariya said simply.
"Oh really," Kumiko said, "How?"
"You
were abandoned, were you not? You were left alone and faced the fate
of never truly aging. You were forced to survive while keeping a low
profile; you got sick and could have no one come to your aid, unless
they were like you. And even when they were you had to be cautious.
Or you would die. Join us and you will be with people who understand
what it is like. I know about your power, you in general, …… your
parents," Kumiko just stared at him, her face impassive.
"You
know what? I was going to end up fighting with you, but you just
answered everything right then and there. Not only that, I've
changed my mind," Kumiko said, walking away.
"Where are you going?" Kariya asked skeptically.
She turned around and said.
"I'm going to get a cookie."
Tairei9: Just go to the end and rewind a bit.
Renji: How come you didn't just have me do that in the first place?!!!
Tairei9: Renji… 'Gives evil glare that makes skin crawl'
Renji: 'Gulp' On it.
Recap: "Kumiko!!" Byakuya said, walking down the walk way. He frowned and went towards her room. Where was that child? It had been a long tedious day, and he was hoping that he would take some time to spend with her.
He slid open the door and was shocked by the scene.
Mai was on the floor unconscious, he quickly went over and helped her up. She groaned and looked at him groggy.
"W-What?" She said, eyes unfocused. Suddenly her eyes widen saying, "Kuchiki-sama!! Where is Kumiko-sama?!"
"I was about to ask you the same thing," Byakuya said.
"I turned around to get Kumiko something and I was hit and I blacked out, hearing someone scream."
Byakuya felt frozen.
His daughter had been kidnapped.
Tairei9: Sorry people but I have to go to band!! Review!!
Tairei: Alright here is the story!!
Renji: Tairei9, what is band?
Chapter thirty one.
"Yoruichi!!"
Yoruichi looked up and saw Renji running towards her.
"What is it?"
"Kumiko's been kidnapped!!!"
"What?!!" Yoruichi said alarmed.
"Her nanny was found on the bedroom floor unconscious. She awoke telling Kuchiki Taichou that she was knocked out and heard someone screaming. Then we traced her reiatsu and found it with another strange reiatsu. But then it disappeared," Renji said, standing in front of her. Yoruichi was quiet.
"Could you get Ichigo?" Renji asked, "He probably won't listen to me."
"Right," Yoruichi said, flash stepping away. She thought about what Renji just said. This was not good. She looked in Ichigo's window and saw his reading something at his desk. She knocked at his window and he looked towards her. He got up and opened the window.
"Yoruichi-san," Ichigo said, surprised.
"Kumiko's been kidnapped," Yoruichi said, immediately.
"Nani!!"
"Yeah, we have traced her reiatsu here with a strange one, but then it disappeared," Yoruichi said, softly.
"Where was it last?"
"At the park," She said. They left in a rush towards the park, of course after Ichigo left his body with Kon. It was unusually deserted. The swings swinging ever so slightly. The sand in the sand box shifted and the trees swayed, the leaves rustling.
"This is creepy," Ichigo commented.
Suddenly, something crashed down in front of them. When the dust cleared it revealed a hollow. Its mask was shaped as a dogs head. The body was like a dogs and it was brown. Its red eyes gleamed fiercely as it roared. Ichigo grabbed Zangetsu's hilt.
It looked down at them and sniffed.
"KUMIKO!!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!????"
Tairei9: Okay I have to leave it off here, due to the fact it is late. I will update tomorrow!!
Oh I also have a challenge for you. I want you all to make a bio of Kumiko. Do past present and what you possibly might think for the future. I will announce the person who gets it right at the end of this story. This is not the last chapter, but it is approaching. I also want to know if you want a sequel or not. Review!!
