I leaned against the bed in the room, white sheets, white pillow case, thick but stiff and hard mattress, just like those beds from Naruto that they put sick people in. I smirked slightly and lifted the bottom of my shirt, just a bit mind you. I saw the white bandaging around my pudgy midsection, it was red around my left side, where that blade had passed threw meaning it had bled recently, probably when I got up to shout at Kaydin because I thought she was my brother. Sighing softly I tilted my head back and let my shirt fall back down over the bandages. That's what I get for being a dumb-ass. But if this was Bleach world. . . Why didn't I have soul reaper powers like Ichigo? Maybe it has to be consenting to trade powers or something? Lowering my head I looked at the floor and let out a soft sigh. If this was a hospital there would be nurses and things in the halls that would stop me from leaving, I was in their patient clothes after all.
"Fucking A, what did I manage to get into?" I cocked my head to one side before laying back onto the bed to stare at the ceiling. I wanted my MP3 player. Turning my head I looked at the bedside stand, nothing but a pitcher of water was there on a metal tray with a cup of worked clay in that cool Japanese style. Sitting up I swung my legs over the bed and started to pull the drawer open when a knock came to the door. "Hello?" It was a soft female voice, probably a nurse or a doctor come to annoy me.
"What?" I called and the door swung open to admit a woman in those Bleach clothes that reminded of a captain, in fact if my memory served me right she was head of medical. "I didn't say you could come in." I growled halfheartedly, being mean or rude was not my strong point.
"You don't have to, it's my sick room. Sit." she pointed to the bed before she walked the distance separating us as I sat down as instructed. Gently she put a hand to my head, her brow furrowed slightly as she seemed to be focusing. Slowly I felt a tingling sensation in my right arm, instantly I thought of walls and blocking things, I did not like that tingling sensation because it meant someone was using powers on me or near me. Her eyes widened and she dropped her hand. "You are blocking me child."
"Your trying to do something to me."
"Heal you that is all, we could not do it while you where asleep."
"I'm sorry?" I tilted my head to one side, tried to heal me? Great these people tried to heal me, I wonder what kind of souls they attracted during that time. Biting my lower lip and looking away for a moment I let my mind go blank of thinking. "There, that should help your attempts at healing me." She nodded her head and put a hand to my head. Again my arm went pin prickly but I focused on allowing her to heal me, it wasn't really my cup of tea. After a moment or two she let her hands drop away. "Thank you for letting me heal you." She bowed to me slightly, it made me tilt my head. No one I knew was that formal but then again I was from the US, not a lot of people where polite unless they had reason to do so. "Ya ain't gotta bow to me." I muttered but she gave me a smile. "My name is Unohana Retsu, I am head of medical."
"Kayce, My name's Kayce." I didn't want to tell her my last name, most people from my town knew who my brother was and that gave me a bad rep before people even got a chance to meet me. He wasn't exactly the nicest person in Concrete but he wasn't the worst. Sides just cause she looked and acted like the woman from bleach didn't mean jack crap to me. After a few moments of making sure I was ok she left me in the room with my MP3 player. Sliding it into my PJ pockets I sat back on the bed knees to my chest. "I want stuffims." I thought idoly about my stuffed dog that my mother had given to me one day out of the blue. It was dirty and the pound puppy tag was starting to come apart from the body. Hours passed by with me staring at the opposite wall of my room. Eventually Kaydin came back seeing me still sitting their staring at the wall, her hands went to her hips and she 'tsked' softly. "Kayce, get out of bed." She said and I jerked. I hadn't noticed her. "Huh, why?" I asked stupidly and she smiled. "Aren't you hungry stupid?"
"No, not really."
"Who are you and what have you done with my Choji?" she asked tilting her head to one side and back a small smile playing across her face, I smirked at her before pushing myself out of the bed. Sitting like that for hours made you stiff, I stretched much like a cat would after waking up from a nap. "On second thought, food does sound good." it was a muttering but she heard me.
"Follow me then." she waved her hand and opened the door.
The hall was white like my room, polished wooden floors glared with the lights above my head. Looking around I saw Japanese clad guys and girls walking around with katana's at their sides. I never knew there where so many Bleach fans in Concrete. "Kaydin, you never told me before, where are we?" Softly Kaydin sighed before she stopped and looked at me over her shoulder. "Soul society." was her reply and I groaned loudly. "Don't you even tell me this isn't Bleach Kayce." she growled the words out as she turned around. "Didn't you learn anything when Unohana san came to your room?"
"Yeah, she has cold hands."
"My god your an idiot sometimes."
"I am not."
"You are too."
"I'm not an idiot Kaydin, I act like one but I'm NOT."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." She rolled her shoulders and turned her back to me and started to walk while I gritted my teeth at her, sometimes I wanted to beat her head in but she probably wanted to do it me more then I thought about doing it to her. Jogging to catch up, she lead me threw halls and down wrap around decks in that awesome Japanese style from Last Samurai or all those other Japanese based movies I've seen. "So, do you think this is still a dream?" She asked after a few minuets and I rolled my eyes. "I'm starting to wonder, in my dreams your not this annoying."
"Fuck you." she laughed sorta as she said it and stopped walking.
"Oh you know you love me mom." I grinned at her stopping a few paces off from her. (out of reach thank god.)
"Sometimes I don't." Kaydin pulled her lips back slightly in a snarl
"What!? You make me cry a little inside." I flapped my arms and wailed out the words
"Good." Kaydin snapped the word out almost pleased sounding.
"God your a bitch." I crossed my arms and looked at her with slightly pouty lips
"I know." she smiled and put a hand under her chin when she wanted to play innocent, I rolled my eyes and stuck out my tongue in a stark display of disagreement with her. She ignored it and started to walk away. We walked past that guy who looked like Renji and her face played over that set of emotions that I knew meant a girl was head over heals for a guy. As he got out of hearing distance I walked up closer to Kaydin and snickered softly. "Oooo Kaydin has a crush on someone!" I laughed and she spun around with that look of 'you say anything and I'll skin you alive!' Her blue eyes where lite with furry, she knew I'd tell the guy just to piss her off, I didn't mind attempted murder for a good laugh to watch her face turn red. She took a step toward me, mouth open and finger pointing toward me in a silent threat. Slowly I held my hands up, "I won't tell him." I said with a smile and she pursed her lips unhappily looking me over before turning around and walking toward what I thought would be the lunch room sooner or later.
"Isn't he just so hot?!" She asked in a fan girl like voice as she looked at me.
"You know Nova is way hotter." I grinned and she looked at me with a sour expression before shrugging.
"He's a turtle now though."
"And I cry a little inside for that." Kaydin laughed at me before I caught the scent of cooking food and I smiled sniffing the air.
"I smell foods!" I shouted and jumped along ahead of her, she grabbed my collar dragging me back to stand beside her, she had a look of 'i knew you'd do that' "Okaa san! Lemme go, Choji craves teh foods!" I held my arms to my chest and squirmed around abit like an impaitent child causing her to laugh. Kaydin let my collar go and I pranced ahead stopping at the doors waiting for her, I'd probably get weird looks if I went in on my own and just stood there looking around like an idiot.
"Hey Kaydin, are you a shinigami?" I asked looking over my shoulder, my glasses falling back long my nose. Kaydin slowly tilted her head making her blond hair shift "No, I'm not why?"
"Before I passed out I thought I saw you wearing those clothes the Shinigami wear." I shrugged my shoulders slightly as she came up behind me and pushed the sliding door open to show me the interior of the 'lunch' room. Polished floors, rows of tables down low on the floor and people at the back off the room with cooking utensils.
"Hello! Hello!" they chimed happily their long black hair done back to keep it from the food, trays where stacked along the wall leading toward them and I started to walk toward them keeping quiet, talking to strangers wasn't my best ability amongst many. "What would you like to eat?"
"Umm.." I was a bit of a picky eater but right now I didn't know half the stuff I was looking at. "Rice and chicken, or beef.. I don't know." I scratched my head with one hand and held the tray in the other. Their smiles wavered at my indecisiveness but they quickly came back as one of them reached for my tray and started to pile rice and the requested meats onto it. "There you go." they smiled widely before Kaydin came up behind me with a set of chopsticks. "You know how to use these right?"
"No, I just go to Lucky's restaurant and eat with them to amuse Lee." I rolled my eyes at her and reached for them but she held them back.
"Who's Lee?" she smiled widely at me as I grunted softly and reached for the chopsticks again.
"The waiter at the Chinese place.."
"You like him?" she held the choptsticks once more out of my reach.
"He's cute, I don't know a lot about of him." I reached for them again but she danced back, her socks sliding across the polished floor. Puffing my cheeks out slightly I walked toward the tables before setting my tray down. "Kaydin give me the chopsticks."
"Nope, not until you tell me more about Lee."
"Kaydin! I told you I don't know anything about him, he's cute and all but I don't think he likes me." I started walking toward her on the balls of my feet and she laughed backing up away from me. "Give me the damn hashi."
"Nope."
I jumped over a table and grabbed at her but she laughed and raced around the other side. Getting up I noticed a stand of chopsticks and stuck my tongue out going over to them. As I reached for them something grabbed my wrist. Turning my head to look at the person who grabbed my wrist my eyes narrowed. Kenpachi was holding my wrist rather tightly, that pink haired little girl that always rides on his shoulders was grinning brightly at me. "Who are you?" His gravelly voice sorta cool to hear in person and not over the headphones of my laptop.
"Wutashino namewa Kayshi desu." I grinned at him and Kaydin walked up behind me slapping the back of my head. "English!" she snapped and I turned to snap my teeth at her.
"No it's is ok, I understood her just fine, she has a beautiful accent." Kenpachi gave me that crooked grin like smirk of his and the little girl on his shoulders formed her mouth into an 'O' of delight before giggling and looking at me some more. "My name is Zaraki Kenpachi, this is Kusajishi Yachiru my vice captain." he held my wrist a bit tighter and lifted me from the floor by my arm.
Kaydin backed up ready to whomp on him if he hurt me but I just looked at me threw my glasses as he smiled at me some more. "Your spiritual weight is great, I would like to fight you."
"Are you calling me fat?" I growled at him and he laughed shaking his head.
"You are a big girl but I am not calling you fat." He set me down and I frowned at him. If he had something to say he'd best be saying it out right. His beady like eye looked me over and he crouched slightly to look me in the face. "Your spiritual power is great, that is why I want to fight you." I started to chew my bottom lip, he had a sword on his hip and if he was like the real Kenpachi he'd beat me to death with the scabbard just to make things even. "I.. I'll think about it." The man stood up to his full height and smiled that smirky smile at me. "Bye Onee chan!" The little pink haired girl called as hey walked away with her on his shoulders.
