Disclaimer: OK so now it's time for some action!!!! I get really excited when it comes to this Yay!! So onward to Adventure Land…..we don't own Bleach in any way, shape, or form. We really wish we did. Now to the story!! Btw I'm not exactly sure how to spell the name of the mirror I made is shop class so it's basically a full length standing mirror with a wooden frame.

Finally! It was the last day of school. The Exams were finished and everyone was celebrating. Brooke, Fran and I all aced our exams….hopefully. Thank god I exempted from my Geometry exam. I would have failed that epically. I passed with mostly A's in my classes. The day before I finished staining my Chevelle Mirror in shop and it looked fantastic! I was worried about taking it home for fear of one of the Espada breaking it. But I doubted anyone was going to do anything to it.
Three weeks of Aizen's Arrancars breathing down our necks everywhere we went really got annoying. So Brooke, Fran and I created a plan to ditch them the last day of school. Unfortunately, Fran was lucky enough to get to leave after she finished all of her exams to go visit her family. So we a.k.a Brooke, me, Lilinette and the rest of the Espada had to finish the last two days of school without her. Emocar seemed less emo when he found out that Fran wouldn't be here…I wonder why? He is just a strange little man. So the plan had to be changed when Fran left early on us. Now it was just Brooke and I pulling this off.
Since it was June and the weather was pretty much perfect, we packed bags to take to the beach with us. It was finally the last hour of our last day of school. It was only a half day today but it felt longer. Band was…well not really exciting, it never is. The clock hit eleven and I looked over at Brooke. She looked at me and nodded. A while ago we talked some of our friends into going with us. The idea was to sneak out during band because there were so many of us in the room and because it was going to be the only time that we were able to sneak off without Lilinette or Grimmjow noticing. Besides by the time they did find out that we were gone, it would take them forever to find us.
We wanted to see how good they were at finding us, so we tested them last week at a game of hide and go seek. Let me tell you, Lilinette is so loud she isn't allowed to hide anymore; Emocar is blind as a bat…no pun intended, and Stark fell asleep in a tree. What about Grimmy you say? Well he is no longer allowed to look for anything anymore; he went all the way to a mini mart and destroyed the whole thing looking for us. We had to explain to the cops that he hadn't had his medication that morning and went bonkers. But Aizen had to step in and fix everything because they were going to haul the bad kitty off to jail anyways. Now the entire police department is looking for a runaway from an asylum in Ohio by the name of Larry who broke into the store looking for his partner Billy Bob. The names came from us...hehehehe. Not the greatest idea in the world, but hey it kept our naughty kitty out of jail.
So anyways the clock hit eleven and it was my turn to start leading the sneak attempt out of school. Double checking that Grimmy, Lilinette, and our Band teacher weren't looking, I snuck to the side of the room and cracked one of the auditorium doors open. I quietly slipped through, and waited ten minutes for everyone else in our little group to come through the door. Brooke came first followed by Kelsey, Alex, and Ethan. Zack and James were going to meet us after school got out because they didn't have band. Last year we did the same thing only we didn't have to sneak around Espada.
So also like last year we walked downtown to our favorite pub, Food Factory. There was a deck area that connected to the main part of the restaurant, it was the best place to eat, so we asked for one of the large tables and sat down. James and Zack joined us a little bit later and we looked over menus full of kick ass food. The whole time at the pub, was a lot of sarcasm floating around with snappy comebacks filled with random Chuck Norris sayings. Brooke and I hadn't had this much fun in a long time.
"On Chuck Norris's calendar, there is no April 1st, because there is no fooling Chuck Norris" Ethansaid dramatically. We started laughing at one of the jokes, and then it grew into an all out war of who could come up with the best Chuck Norris jokes. It was a tie between Brooke and Ethan.
"Chuck Norris sold his soul to the Devil for his rugged good looks and his unbeatable martial arts skills. Chuck Norris then proceeded to beat the shit out of the Devil and take his soul back. The Devil, who believes in irony, holds no grudge because he should have seen this coming. They now play poker every first Monday of the Month." Brooke retorted. We almost had random flavors of pop coming out of our noses. Our food came shortly after and we proceeded to stuff our faces like regular teenagers. The bills started arriving and we decided where to go next. It was agreed that we all go to James's house and play rock band…like last year! What, we like annual things…. So everyone was getting their bills but Brooke and I. the waitress apologized and said it would be a few more minutes. Brooke told everyone to start walking to James's house and we would meet them there. Everyone went ahead and we waited for our bill inside the pub.
"This is weird" I said. "They usually bring our bills out right on time." Brooke nodded. I heard the door open and I looked at it expecting to see someone I knew. I wanted to faint when I saw who walked in. Ikkaku Madrame and Yumichika Ayasegawa were looking around the little pub. They looked tiered and acted a little lazy. Ikkaku's face suddenly sharpened and he set his eyes on me. The initial shock ran through and I had to cover Brooke's mouth be for she said something vulgar pertaining to Ikkaku and his date.
I quickly realized that I hadn't masked my spiritual pressure before we left school. I lost the habit when I had some random Espada with me all the time. Stupid me, I couldn't believe I did that, damn! I looked away and started to mask my spiritual pressure before Yumichika noticed too. Hopefully he was going to tell Ikkaku he was crazy and they would never figure out that I was something more than human. I looked at Brooke and mouthed to her to go down out the door and down the steps to the beach behind us. She glared at me.
"I'm not going to run like a coward" she whispered franticly at me. I glared back at her annoyed that she was putting her pride against her safety, as always.
"It's not going to matter when they attack us. Do you want to be dragged to the soul society?" she glared and shook her head.
"Alright fine, but you better be right behind me." I nodded and she slipped down the wooden steps. A felt a presence behind me, tensing I turned around thinking the worse. But it was just our perky waitress handing me my bill. I dished out money for our food. Thanking her I walked quickly out the door, and down to the small park connecting the pub to the strip of beach. Looking behind me every few seconds I walked down the hill and onto the beach where Brooke was. She looked up at my footsteps, relaxing when she figured out it was me.
"What the hell are we going to do? Stark and Grimmjow don't have cell phones so it's not like we can call them." Brooke stood up looking around making sure we weren't being watched.
"Well…I don't know, they should have realized that we weren't at the school after it ended so they should be looking for us." I said. "I wonder if I can unmask my spiritual pressure for a few seconds so Stark, Lilinette, or another Espada can get a lock on it. I just don't want to grab Ikkaku or Yumichika's attention while I do it."
"I would rather all of them know where we are, that way-"Brooke stopped speaking and her eyesight slipped past my shoulder and locked onto something behind me. A Blast of Spiritual pressure sent us both on our knees. I struggled to get up but was pushed back down by the pressure. Shit we were caught. I unmasked my spiritual energy. It was just strong enough to let me stand up. I looked at both of the Soul Reapers behind me.
"What do we have here Ikkaku? These are just two little human girls. I told you it was nothing" Yumichika looked me over then Brooke. Ikkaku snorted and got out of his Gigai. It flopped to the ground useless; Yumichika sighed and got out of his. He threw them both to the side and then focused on us.
"They can see us Yumichika, that one has a good amount of spiritual pressure." He said pointing at me. Yumichika took a step forward and I tensed. I tried searching for Stark, Grimmjow, anybody. A few seconds later I locked on to Lilinette. She was about ten miles from us. I hoped someone would get here soon with some backup.
"What do you want Soul Reapers?" I finally asked them. Ikkaku stared at me. "What you think I'm mute or something? Or are you surprised I know exactly who you are?" Both of them really looked at me for the first time. I looked at Brooke from the corner or my eye.
"Take your cell phone and try calling the house, see if someone answers" I saw Brooke nod and she slowly backed up away from us, I was amazed that she could even stand. Yumichika took a step forward to follow. I brought flames from my fingertips and they grew up my arm. "I don't think so. Don't you follow her, I'm your target." I may have acted tough, but I was shaking. The flames steadied me and I tried to grab courage out of thin air. Ikkaku's grin widened and he slid his sword out of its sheath.
"You seem strong, you're a good opponent. Would you like to face Hozukimaru?" Ikkaku slammed Hozukimaru's pommel into its sheath and spoke. "Grow…. Hozukimaru." Ikkaku's sword grew to the size of a naginata with his little red tassel at the end. I knew all about Ikkaku's sword and what it could do. I wasn't ready to face it, let alone his Bankai I knew that he was most likely not to release it. I wasn't that powerful so there wasn't any point. Thank god that I ran into squad 11. This would be a fair fight and I would only have to fight Ikkaku. Yumichika hung back observing what was going on. I focused and the flames that were up my arm went back down and grew longer past my hand. I created a whip of black flames willing another to grow from my other hand. I didn't know how long I was going to last against Ikkaku. He was extremely strong and I had no sword of my own. Then I remembered the long dagger I strapped to the inside of the pant leg. I drew it out and let the flames from my left had engulf it. Now I wasn't so defenseless. I had fire and a weapon. The odds were still stacked against me I just hoped that Stark and Grimmjow could dig me out of this deep growing hole.
"Are you prepared?" Ikkaku asked I nodded. "Good, now we begin" Ikkaku came at me swinging his sword down trying to crack my head open. I brought my blade up and it took both hands to stop it from coming down on me. I rolled left and swiped the blade in the air sending flames at Ikkaku. He pulled away and came at me again. It continued and we exchanged blows. Then he faked going for my head, I went up to block him and his blade sliced through my shoulder. I yelled clutching the shoulder in pain. It seared at the slightest touch. This was not going well. Ikkaku came nearer to me, when he was in the right spot I sent a wave of black flames roaring toward him. He jumped out of the way but I burned his chest. I watched as he yelled and gritted his teeth. He had to rip the top of his hakama off. I watched as angry red blisters popped out all over his chest. They started to bleed and he grinded his teeth again. He looked at me and laughed.
"I'm surprised you lasted this long. I'm somewhat impressed. This is a very interesting fight." With that he came at me again. I stood ready to face him again.
"Yes" I said breathing hard. "This is interesting" with that I sent another wave of flames over the Soul Reaper.
FIN!!! So sorry to stop it there but I have to give Brooke a chance to write too. Review and tell me what you think or Grimmy will get smushed under one of the really big boulders that I have stashed at Brooke's house.
