Chapter 5 is up! I will be working on this during the summer, so more chapters will be typed! :)
I woke in the early morning and rubbed my eyes thinking "He won't come today… Maybe won't even come the next day… Or the day after…." I pushed myself up, and my wounds hurt more than usual today, but I kept myself propped up. "I wonder what he's doing now" I thought.
"Dang, so much hollows" Izuru thought, fighting hollows in the World of the Living beside Rukia and Ichigo. "Raise your head! Wabiske!" He cried out, turning his sword into a J like shape. He used his zanpakuto to weigh down parts of the enemy to slow them down. Then he uses the arch of the blade to decapitate them, to destroy the hollows completely. "Where are all the hollows coming from?" Izuru asked his allies.
"We don't know!" Ichigo shouted back.
"Urahara said there were some unknown phenomenons going on so that lots of hollows are appearing." Rukia added.
Three hollows used ceros, scattering the soul reapers from each other. Izuru found himself in a peaceful part of Karakura Town. He thought of turning back until… A baby started to cry and there was a terrified scream of an older girl. Izuru rushed to the scene to find a huge hollow about to attack the girl and baby. There was something strange though. The girl was looking at the hollow, and she was actually seeing it.
"She must have a lot of spiritual pressure." Izuru thought. The baby wasn't crying because it was hungry or tired, the baby could see the monster too, and was crying because it was scared. Scared of the thing that will eat it unless he does something about it. "Raise your head! Wabiske!" he cried out again, and completely defeated the hollow. The baby stopped crying, it knew it was saved. The girl walked up to him.
"Thanks." she said.
"Wait… You can see me?" he asked.
"Yeah. I saw it all. The monster, you, even soul reapers before. Also, I can see spirits. Lili here can too." Izuru nodded.
"She yours?" he asked, studying the little bundle of a girl. Hard to believe, but her eye color is the same as Patrina's color. Her other features copied the older girl's, but the older girl's eyes were more blue. The older girl laughed.
"No, Lili is my sister. We were finishing a walk when the creature attacked us." She turned to the door. "You can come in if you want. I'm sure mom and dad won't mind. Oh, and by the way, I'm Shaylee."
"Okay, I'm Izuru." He said, and followed her into the house.
"Shaylee!" a teenager yelled, and hugged her big sister. Her eyes were more of a grey color, and she had blonde hair with natural black streaks in her hair.
"Welcome home Shaylee." Said a woman with bangs like Patrina but with black hair. She also had Patrina's eyes, green like peridot. "Did Lili behave?" asked the older woman.
"Yeah, we almost got attacked by those monsters again. But he saved us. Mama, this is Izuru. He's a soul reaper."
"Pleased to meet you." Izuru bowed with respect in greeting.
"You too. Thank you for saving my girls." responded the mother.
"So you all can see me?" he asked.
"Yes." The father walked in. "Though you may be a little blurry to Hina, her spirit pressure is a little weak. She is sickly at times."
"Yeah." Agreed the teenager, which is Hina. The father was dirty blond with aquamarine blue eyes.
"You can stay here during your stay in the World of the Living."
"Okay." Izuru responded. "Just curious, what are your last names?"
Izuru nearly passed out when the mother said, "Leeon."
Around the same time that happened, I was laying in my recovery bed back in the Soul Society. Someone with a hat and a floral kimono walked in my room along with a woman in glasses with a book.
"Hello there pretty thing" the guy in the kimono said to me.
"Uh…. Hi?" I responded, confused.
"You're so young and pretty say, why don't you switch to eighth squad"
"No thanks, satisfied with thirteenth squad." I was maximum creeped with this guy.
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Man, Ukitake told me that a pretty girl was here. He didn't tell me she would be hard to persuad-"The girl with the glasses brought a book down hard on his head.
"Maybe because he doesn't want you to take her away." She said. "Honestly captain stop."
"Awwwww come on Nanao I was only kidding you know I love you mor-"the book came down on his head again.
"I apologize for my captain's behaviors. He's a little of a pervert…"
"It's okay Nanao? I believe your name was."
"Yes that is correct. As you can tell, the captain and Ukitake are very close."
"Oh yeah?" I asked.
"Yes. Since the academy." Said the captain.
"This is Shunsui." Introduced Nanao.
"Hello pretty lady." Said captain Shunsui. I sweatdropped. At that moment, I had a very bad pain in my stomach and heart. I didn't know what was going on.
Back at the World of the Living, it was dinnertime for the Leeons and Izuru.
"You sure you're okay Izuru?" asked Hina. "You look pale."
"I'm fine." He responded.
"Okay!" said cheerful Hina.
"It's hard to think about her being sickly" thought Izuru. Many thoughts were going through his head such as if this is really Patrina's family and how Patrina feels right now. Also, there is the thought that Patrina didn't know the two smallest in the family, Hina and Lili. They finished the meal and showed Izuru around the house. He is going to sleep in the living room, and while observing where he was going to sleep, he saw a cabinet with flowers all over it.
"Shaylee," he called her over. "What's this?"
"That is something private. So, you can forget about it." There was a pain in Shaylee's face just talking about the cabinet. He decided to let the topic about it go. For now….
"She's okay. In a lot of pain for some reason…." Captain Unohanna mentioned.
"Might mean her wounds are healing. I see no bleeding captain Unohanna." Hanataro was examining me as well.
"Maybe loss of blood though Hanataro."
"Might be captain." I was laying on my side curled up with tears. Ukitake walked in.
"How is she?"
"Not that good as you can see Ukitake." Informed Unohanna
"I'm glad Shunsui got me….. She looks really bad."
"She just collapsed in pain and Nanao ran out and found me." Said Hanataro.
"Then Hanataro got me and we rushed over here." Said Unohanna.
"Why don't you lay down. I know it hurts, but it makes it easier for Unohanna and Hanataro to check you." Ukitake spoke calmly and gently to me. I rolled out to laying down.
"Atta girl…." Ukitake said to me.
"Captain…" I murmured in pain. He sat next to me.
"I'm here Patrina, I'm here….."
Izuru was laying on the couch, still with many thoughts running in his head. Hina ran in with many blankets in hand.
"Hey Hina. What's up?" he asked.
"I brought you some blankets." She responded. "It's chilly."
"Thanks." Izuru took the blankets and covered himself with them. "G'night Hina." He said.
"Goodnight" she responded. It was 10:00 pm in the World of the Living and Hina and Lili were sound asleep. Izuru was dozing, with his eyes closed when someone came down the stairs. He opened his eyes, but stayed silent, to see Shaylee sneaking to the cabinet. She opened it and knelt down and went to a praying position.
"Be happy little sis. I'm sorry….. Sorry that you're gone. I miss you. Mum and dad miss you… Lili and Hina don't know you…. I wish you happiness and hope you're okay…. Wherever you are…" Shaylee wiped her eyes. "Patrina….." she whispered.
"Patrina Leeon, huh," Izuru said, and sat up. Shaylee fell almost backwards and struggled to close the cabinet.
"No! Don't close it." Izuru said, and got up. He flash stepped to the cabinet and opened it back up. He looked inside and studied the picture. It was from a lot earlier, but it was easy to see it was Patrina. With wavy long brown hair with bangs covering one eye and lively peridot eyes. Shaylee started to cry.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Shaylee! Calm down." Izuru hugged the old teen "Listen. I know where your sister is." Shaylee cleared her eyes.
"R-really?"
"Yes, and I love your sis, she's smart, funny, caring, kind…." Izuru trailed off. "But anyways, your sister is okay….. Trust me…." Shaylee squeezed him tight. He looked in her eyes. "Pat will be happy to know you remember her." He pat her head and she nodded, very little tears left. "You should get back to bed now. Want me to come too?" Shaylee nodded yes. Izuru took her hand and led her up the stairs. Shaylee laid down and fell asleep and Izuru walked downstairs and looked at the picture in the cabinet. "Your family misses you Trina." Then, he said goodnight and shut the cabinet doors.
I was finally sound asleep in squad four barracks.
"About time." Giggled Hanataro.
"She was in so much pain though. I'm going to take squad thirteen off duty tomorrow so I can watch her." Said Ukitake.
"Okay captain." Said Unohanna. "You might want to let Yammamoto know."
"Okay." The night completely ended when Ukitake left.
Haha... Suprising? Maybe not XD Well, read and review! :3
