Chapter 3 is here! I am awesome! Nah, I just like writing a lot. I took some helpful tips from Bleachee, (BTW, your awesome for that!) Enjoy! Basically the time-frame is between the Rescue Rukia arc, and the Arrancar arc. Imagine if the treaded Bount saga never took place, thats the time-frame for my story.
"We meet again, Captain." She said coldly, her vibrant strands flowing in the breeze and over her fair skin.
The Crimson Angel and The Ice Dragon met once more.
This marked the second time Hiou entered Toshiro's dream, in the icey wastland,
This world belongs to Toshiro and that ice dragon, Hyorinmaru, was it?
Yes, its their world, so why do I keep coming here?
What is it about the ice Captain that draws me in like a moth to a flame?
"You've got nerve coming back here after the last time." Toshiro said in an intimindating tone as he unsheathed his sword immediately and swung it, aiming for her torso.
She dodged the blow and jumped back away from him, as silent as the grave.
"If you still intend to destroy the soul society, I'll kill you myself!" He shouted, gripping his sword fiercly, remembering the treat made the last time they met.
Toshiro now knew what her intentions where, and she was no friend of his or the Soul Society; she was an enemy.
"I just love to see you in agony, I can't explain it, but, theres a certain beauty in it."She smiled sadisticly.
Her smile made Toshiro sick, she was out of her mind!
"And just so you know, Toshiro Hitsugaya, I am in a world create by you, in your dream, I can invade it anywhere and any time I want, I know all your secrets, the source of your love, the cause of your fears, your intentions for the future, your regrets from the past, your power, your weakness, everything! and your powerless to stop me. Just remember that when you finally meet me face-to-face."She said, her voice as cold as the world from which they stood,and began to walk away.
Toshiro, though shooken by her words, still had to perform his duties as the Captain of the 10th Division, and tried to run after her.
"
Wait, we're not done-"
Toshiro watched as small sakura petals formed from the air into a whirling tornado that engulfed the mysterious girl.
"Damn!" Toshiro said, enraged to the core as he watched to see once again what powers she had.
"Toshiro Hitsugaya... I look foward to meeting you again... and destroying you along with the other shinigami! Remember my name, Captain. It's Hiou..." Her resonating voice faded away as the tornado disappeared into thin air.
Toshiro looked down at his hands and held a remaining petal that snagged onto his haori.
He held the warm petal in his hands as he thought about what he'd just experienced.
"Hiou..." He mumbled.
The crimson angel left the ice dragon, with nothing but a dream...
Ichigo froze in place as the blade ran through his chest, he looked at the black sword turning deep crimson from his blood! Running down the sword and staining his white shirt.
He then looked into the girl's cold, dead eyes. And from the Reiatsu, and the lifeless eyes that pieres fiercely into his, he knew she wasn't human,and that she was the one behind the murders!
He fell to his knees,"Why did you do this? Why are you killing all those innocent people?"The Substitute Soul Reaper demanded as he choked up some blood.
Hiou raised a single red eyebrow." I didn't kill anyone from this world." She simply stated as she pulled her sword out of Ichigo's chest with a sickening slurp!
Ichigo threw up more blood as he fell to the grassy ground below,
"She's not the culprit?" He thought out loud as his eyes glazed over, and his blood pool around him "So who is she?"
Hiou swung her blade, slinging off the blood.
"Farewell, young soul reaper." She said softly as she let a single Sakura Petal fall to the ground beside him.
Then a single Arrow flew past her head, leaving a fine red line on her flawless face!
Hiou quickly turned around and saw the shooter, it was a young man with glasses, and clad in white.
"Who are you?" She asked plainly.
There was a cruel, murderous look in his Onix eyes, he looked to Ichgo's body, and felt his lifeforce slowly slipping away.
"I'm Uryu Ishida, the last Quincy. The one whose going to kill you!" He shouted as he leapt from the hill and shot two more arrows in her direction!
Hiou jumped back, dodging the first arrow, then, eyes firmly on the second, drew her sword and swung it, the following shockwave disinigrating it.
What provoked this boy? Hiou thought.
Then Hiou looked at Ichigo's lifeless body, and a smile slowly spread on her face.
"So, was he your friend?" She asked the Quincy mockingly.
Uryu was full of rage! "How dare you, how dare you kill Ichigo and all those other people and then smile like its a joke? I swear, I swear on my honor as a Quincy, I'll destroy you?" He swore.
"Damn Quincies never could shut up about their 'Honor' could they?" She continued to mocked.
At that point, Uryu was done exchanging mere words, and raised his bow once again for battle.
Hiou smiled and raised her blade, Finally! An opponent that is'nt a slave to his empathy, a victem worthy of my blade. She thought, her smile growing wider.
Rukia sat cross-legged in Ichigo's closet, not that she was hiding in there because she had to, she just missed being in there, watching Ichigo sleep peacefully, or the night she actually saw him cry in his sleep the night before the annivarsary of his Mother's death. He probably wasn't aware of this, but she knew him better then he thought she did, she knew that behind that gruff and hardened exterior, hid a kind heart, a loyal friend, and a man with a great sense of honor.
She often thought back to the time that he rescued her from her execution, though she claimed to be at peace with her death, and though she was. She still was eternally greatful to Ichigo for going that far to save her, That day, at the Sokyoku execution stand, she remembered the boy she met in Karakura town, then saw the man he had become.
She regretted not thanking him.
" Maybe I should, when he gets back." She said aloud with a smile.
Then suddenly she felt a strong Reiatsu! one belonged to Uryu, the other to an unknown stranger, and Ichigo's life force fading rapidly!
"Ichigo!" She she jumped out of the closet and jumped out the window, so she wouldn't worry his family, and went to help Uryu.
"Chances are Renji and the others already know something's wrong, so I'll just go there myself and help Uryu. She said, as she bolted down the street, with a fierce look in her Violet colored eyes, ready to kill whoever dared to harm Ichigo.
"Hang on, Ichigo, I'll be there soon!"
There it is, R&R please, and once again, thank you Bleachee :)
