Ch9-Horrible truth
"Wakey-wakey, time to get up." Poking him for the hundredth time in the last 20 minutes I stop and glare at his sleepy body. "You worthless pile of crap, get up." Getting on top his bed I use an old trick that worked for getting Myaname up. "I said get up you lazy bum!" sitting down roughly on his stomach which sends him flying up gasping for breath. I go tumbling head over heels onto the floor. "Before you say anything look at the clock." I point while rubbing my now sore head. Angrily grabbing his clock he throws off the covers and throw it down, "I'm so late, why didn't you wake me sooner?" Rushing around his room he grabs clothes and books in haste, "First of all you got two different shoes. Secondly I was trying to get you up for the past 30 minutes." Standing up I brush myself off and deposit my body in the closet hidden from sight.
"What are you doing?" Ichigo stands in my way, crossing his arms, demanding an answer. "I got a job to do," I snap tapping my Zanpakto, "since Renji isn't going to be here I have to do it." Pushing past him I hop out of the window shouting out a goodbye on my way out. Walking down the streets by myself I start to get bored. Sighing heavily I think out loud, "Even though the streets are crowded no one can see or hear me. It's very..." A beeping comes from my soul society pager or whatever it is. Pulling it out I memorize quickly the location and run towards it. Soon I'm out of the city and into the woods. Weaving my way in and out of trees I skid to stop in a meadow, and watch as a hollow spots me. Sprinting to meet it I evade its' first attack and easily jump over it. "Niricame, Fire on the wind!" A gust of wind blows from behind and ignites as soon as it passes me. It easily goes through the hollow, eliminating it quickly. Sheathing my sword I start back the way I came when clapping from behind freeze me in my tracks.
"Very good, seems that you have improved since we last meet." Whirling around I stare in horror as two men approach me. Two men who I have only heard about in stories and seen in pictures. "Now come on, follow us like a good girl." I hold my ground as his hand drops, "I don't think she is going to come easy." The one with blue hair had an irritating voice and a creepy gaze, while the dark haired one had such gaze that it felt like he was seeing into my very soul. "You can make this very easy, or very hard." I glare at him and unsheathe my sword. "I don't think she's coming easily Aizen."
"Then go get her. Ichimaru, remember don't harm her to much, she's vital to the success of the experiment." A grin spreads across his face as he moves to attack. Suddenly his sword comes at me, even though he is standing perfectly still. His cocky smile almost reaches his eyes now.
It's moving so fast I can hardly track it, but I gotta try. Watching it intently as it flies straight at me. At the last second I throw out my sword to block it but my relief dissipates quickly as I watch it coming at me still. Darn, I missed, I only sent it of course. The blade goes through my shoulder, instead of my chest, shuddering as he pulls it out. Putting my free hand on my wounded shoulder I glare at them, "We have never met before, I don't know what you're talking about. And what experiment are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry you don't remember me Kari, but then again we didn't meet face to face. I stood right on the edge of the woods watching you, Kari, watching the hollow do exactly what I wanted it to do all those weeks ago. Don't tell me, that you didn't even notice where you were?" Sucking in my breath I look around. This…this is where…everything changed.
"And that second question of yours. Well, I needed someone young, strong, a soul reaper, and had darkness in their soul even a speck is enough to work. You fit all of those categories, except that your soul was pure white, even after the death of your parents. So I had to make it appear, and now I'm fairly certain you have some hate in you." I squeeze my shoulder as I make sense of it all. "You…you killed them." Glaring at the ground I throw my head up, "I'm going to…" Somehow now standing in front of me was Aizen, looking up I shiver as his dark eyes bore into mine. "What are you going to do?" plunging his sword into my gut he leans in close, "You could've chosen the easy way."
Pulling it out he grabs my collar and forces me to follow. Knocking his hand off of me I jump backwards, stumbling a little as I land. Ichimaru shakes his head and walks up to Aizen. "I'll die before I go with either of you." The threat was weak and I'm having trouble standing, but I won't go down. "Well that won't take long." Aizen ignores him and walks to me, "You don't have a choice in the matter; however, you can choose how long you want to be in pain. If you come now I will make sure you get treated." Glaring at him I swing my arm and point my sword at him.
"Foolish girl." Ichimaru stands behind me raising his sword, ducking I dodge it and retaliate, "To slow." Only cutting through air I turn to face them, blood still leaking from my body. Breathing shallow breaths I step forward to attack when all of a sudden I'm suspended in the air, "How can someone so small be so annoying?" Struggling to get free as I am carried to Aizen I only manage to leave a trail of blood. Attempting to hit him on the head with Niricame I bring my arm back but a sharp jab to my wrist forces me to drop her. Setting me on my feet he shoves me and I run into Aizen. "Now are you ready to go?"
