Chapter Four:
Or if you let someone else take over... She heard a chilling voice say inside her head. Saiya's heart began to race.
"Saiya..." She heard Renji's voice before she fell over, unconcious.
When she awoke, she was in Urahara's shop, in one of the rooms, Renji was sitting next to her futon, cross-legged, and his arms crossed, his head dropped down, as he layed asleep. She let a small smile show, thinking he looked adorable as he sat there. She then looked away, and saw that it was dark outside, and she figured that it must have been sometime in the night. Who was that in my head that spoke...
"Who me?" The voice came again as Saiya saw a pair of golden eyes as she closed her eyes.
She let out a yell and jumped out of the bed. Renji jumped up to and grabbed her as she trembled. "What's wrong?" he asked her, trying to soothe her to a calmer state.
"That voice... it spoke to me again..." She told Renji as he sat back down, she slid onto her knees, leaning into him. "I don't know who it is... I don't know what it is..."
"It's okay, Saiya..." He said as she closed her eyes. "Don't think about it..."
"Where's Ichigo?" She asked him as she began to calm herself back down.
"He's in the other room, he got beaten up pretty bad. Inoue is healing him and Rukia as we speak." He told her and she nodded. "You know, you gave us quite a scare at the school..."
"I'm sorry..." She said matching his breathing to keep hers steady.
"Do you think he's hott or something?! Why you still laying up on him?!" The voice asked her and she tensed again.
"Voice again?" He asked her and she stiffled a nod out.
What do you want from me?! Saiya asked as she closed her eyes, trying to keep her breathing calm.
The pair of gold eyes appeared before her again, "I'm here to help you... but it took you long enough to finally give me the time of day...."
What do you mean? Saiya asked her.
"I've been in your mind since you entered Soul Society earlier this year." The voice told her, "I'd tell you my name, but I honnestly can't remember anything..."
I'm sorry.... Saiya apologized. I don't know how I can help you there....
"What's your last name again? Kita right? I kind of like-"
You're not using my name.... Saiya snapped at the voice. The gold eyes closed her eyes and shook her head, long black locks to a little past her shoulders appeared. I think I'm begining to see you more...
"You mean to tell me you weren't able to see me before?!" The voice snapped at her.
No- I'm sorry but at first, all I heard was your voice, and then I saw your eyes, and now I can see your hair too... Saiya explained, But please... do not scare me anymore...
"I'll try not to..." The voice sighed. "But your ability... I think I can help you harness it better too..."
Really?
"Yes really. What?! You can't believe a floating pair of eyes and hair that you can only see or hear?" The voice pipped, a smirk appearing.
Are you calling me insane?
"You might as well be..."
I'm ignoring you now....
Saiya shut out the voice as she fell into a sleep. She could hear the beat of a heart, other than hers. Thump... thump... thump....
"RENJI!" Saiya was startled awake along with Renji as Ichigo's voice echoed into the room. "What the hell are you doing!?"
"Wha...?" Saiya looked up and saw she was all snuggled into Renji. "AHH!" She jumped away from Renji, and grabbed the pillow near her and threw it at him, bouncing it off his head.
"What the hell?!" Renji said as he jumped to his feet.
"Renji!" Ichigo said pulling out his zanpakuto. "You better have not done anything to Saiya!"
"I didn't!" Renji said placing his hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto. "Why do you ask Ichigo!?"
"She's my cousin! Why else do I ask?!" He shouted at Renji.
"She was scared last night, and I helped her over come that little fear of hers!" He shouted back. "That little voice in her head was freaking her out!"
"Are you calling my cousin insane?!"
"Are you saying I'm insane?!" Saiya said grabbing the pillow again.
"No- I'm just saying that-" He felt cornered as Saiya was on his left and Ichigo was infront of him. And to his right and behind him was all wall.
"You liked it so stop flipping out!" The voice inside Saiya's head said making her blush horrendously.
Shut up! Saiya yelled at the voice. You said you wouldn't scare me anymore!
"Saiya.... why are you red?" Ichigo said suddenly turning to his cousin. "Are you sick? Not feelling well?" Ichigo said putting his zanpakuto back on his back and jumping over to his cousin.
"I'm fine!" She said stepping away from her cousin. "It's just..."
"You are so freaking adorable! I can only think of one other person that is like you!" The voice said, "She was a childhood friend of mines, and she would just go crazy and blush all the time whenever I would embarress her about this one guy!"
Shut up! You're not helping me at all! Saiya shouted to the voice.
"Saiya...?" Renji and Ichigo both asked the girl as she fell backwards, unconcious again. "Saiya!" The two said jumping over to see if she was okay. They both saw the spirals in her eyes, showing that she had been confused or dizzy.
"Do you think she's okay?" Renji asked Ichigo as he looked up from his cousin to the orange haired substitute shinigami.
"Saiya..." Ichigo said looking at her, feelling her forehead, and checking her pulse.
Her eyes shot open, and she screamed, being startled by the two boys near her. Both were sent accross the room a she hit them both in the side of the faces. "Atata- Ichigo!" She yelled jumping over to her cousin. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean too! Did I kill you?" She asked him as she shook him violently.
"What's going on in here?" Rukia asked walking into the room to see Ichigo being shaken violently by his cousin and Renji near them with a bruised cheek. "What happened?"
"Rukia...?" Saiya said looking over.
They were then found in Urahara's sitting room as Tessai brought in home-made pancakes with orange juice. "Ichigo, Renji, I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to hit you both..."
"It's okay..." They both said in usion as they had opposite black eyes.
"I honnestly didn't think you could hit that hard..." Ichigo said honnestly.
"You missed it last night! She busted a hollows mask off!" Renji said amazed. "Once with her bare hands and the other with a woodensword!"
"Really?" Rukia asked her amazed too.
"I told you, I'm getting better with my powers..." She said, "And I think I might have found yet another teacher too." She grinned.
"Who?" Urahara asked as he walked in and sat with the group.
"She doesn't have a name, she's trying to steal my last name, but I won't let her." Saiya said with a small laugh. "Golden eyes, black hair... she's really pretty and doesn't look that old..."
"Are you making up imaginary friends again, Saiya?" Ichigo teased his cousin.
"No Ichigo." She said crossing her arms. "If you could only see her... or even hear -" Saiya's head dropped for a second before raising, her eyes golden.
"Sai...ya?" Ichigo said leaning over the table to look at his cousin closely.
"NOPE!" Saiya yelled, "Hi! I'm... well... I still don't have a name... so call me Kita!"
"I don't think Saiya appriciates you using her last name..." Renji told her.
"I need a name though... or else how else will I be identified?"
Renji and Ichigo both looked at eachother oddly. "Uhm..." They said looking back at Saiya. "Hold on a second." Ichigo and Renji stood and grabbed Rukia and the three grouped in a circle as Saiya turned to Urahara.
"Hello... you look familar... do I know you?" Saiya asked him.
"You might... but it depends on who you are..." Urahara told Saiya.
"Aww...." She said sighing. "That's sad...I can't tell you who I am... I think they're coming up with a name for me..."
"Watatata!" Saiya's voice broke through. She fell backwards running her hands through her hair messing it up. Stop trying to take over!
"Give me your name and then I can tell them who I am!"
I am not giving you my name! Saiya yelled at the girl.
"Saiya?" Ichigo, Renji and Rukia looked over hearing the girls small yell.
"Dear buddah... I think I'm going insane..." She said sitting up and running her fingers through her hair trying to fix it. "Watata! Ichigo! We have school today!"
"No- you're staying here and resting." Ichigo told her.
"What!?" She said in shock. "Okay- well if that's the case..." She quickly ate some pancakes. "I'm going to go and train for a bit..." She stood up and opened up the door to jump down into the training area. She slid down the staircase down the the bottom after closing the door. She landed in the rocky arena and sighed.
"Okay... I'll let you use my name until we figure something out for you." She said to herself, "Deal?"
"Deal"
"But what do you mean by helping me get better?" Saiya asked her.
"Look, you have to use a wooden sword for a solid form of weaponary when you focus your spiritual energy into right?"
"Yeah... but what's your point to this?" Saiya asked Kita.
"Let's try to get you to use something that isn't solid all the way through... like just a handle of some sort." Kita told her, "And then, when you fight a hollow, you can do more than just bust it's mask off... YOU can actually slice through it."
"I don't think that's possible.." Saiya said looking around.
"You see that twig there?" Kita asked Saiya. She nodded, "Grab it, it's small enough where it won't be an all solid form."
"Okay..." Saiya said picking up the six inch tree stick.
"Focus your reiatsu into as if it's a wooden sword. Form it into the shape of a sword and don't let it faulter..." Kita told her.
"Okay..." Saiya said closing her eyes, and picturing what a sword looked like, she tried to form it with her reiatsu. She opened her eyes to see a small spirit blade forming. "I think I'm getting it!" She exclaimed but then it blew up in her face, sending her backwards and burning the stick. "Ow..."
"Get up!" Kita yelled at her, "Don't give up at all, Saiya!"
"Right..." Saiya said standing up and finding another stick to use.
