Chapter 5
Kyo woke up to a bright and sunny morning. There was not a cloud in the sky and she was eager to get to school. She rushed downstairs and began packing her lunch and schoolbag, then raced back upstairs to shower and change. Despite her being hesitant about going to Orihime's sleepover now she was riddled with excitement. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about her friends finding out her secret. Then again, there was a feeling in the pit of her stomach that wouldn't go away as she sang a soft tune to herself. It was a feeling that something bad was going to happen Saturday night.
Ichigo did not wake up to a bright and sunny morning. He woke up to Kon jumping up and down on his chest complaining that Ichigo wouldn't take him to Orihime's sleepover. The orange haired teen threw the stuffed lion against the closet door before he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up. "Aw c'mon Ichigo! Why won't you let me come too!" The mod soul whined, waking up Rukia who was nested comfortably in Ichigo's closet. "Shut up Kon, you're not going and that's final. The new girl Kyo's gonna be there and she doesn't have any spirit energy so she can't find out you're alive." Kon was about to argue that he would behave when Ichigo gave him a glare that said 'Yeah until you see girls then you'd go crazy.'
Rukia stepped out of the closet, dressed and not in the least bit upset at being woken up. "Good morning Ichigo, good morning Kon." She said in that overly cheerful tone she used while in the world of the living. Ichigo rolled his eyes and scowled at her. The dark haired soul reaper grabbed her schoolbag and hopped up onto the windowsill and as she was about to jump from the open window she turned back to Ichigo, "See you out front." Then she was gone from the window. Once again the tall carrot top rolled his eyes as he began getting ready for school.
Another long morning of classes passed them by when the lunch bell finally rang. Kyo grabbed her bento box and went outside to find a nice shady tree to sit under. She found one that was deserted and started for it when something caught her eye. To say it caught her eye would not be the correct way to state it rather that this something caught her senses. She glanced in the direction of the street and saw that across the road was a strange looking man. He had on some odd type of white and black uniform thing with the jacket open to reveal a well muscled chest. He was quite tall and had blue hair and the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Of course the strangest thing that stood out was the hole straight through his abdomen and the jawbone fragment on his jaw. Kyo Flynn knew right then and there what he was and hoped that he didn't know that she could see him.
"Hey what're you staring at Kyo?" Someone called from behind her. Kyo turned to see Orihime and Rukia approaching her. The small brown/red haired girl turned back but the strange man was gone. I hope he didn't notice that I saw him, and the same with them. She thought to herself as she smiled at her friends. "You want to eat lunch with us Kyo?" Rukia asked as she and Orihime sat beneath the tree Kyo had planned to sit under. With one last glance to the road Kyo nodded and sat down to eat her lunch, hoping that Orihime would not offer her any of the strange meal she had put together.
Uryu had noticed the slight spike in spirit energy from outside. He knew what it was and who it belonged to but he still wanted to make sure. He looked out the nearest window and was lucky enough to spot him. Something that was also quite intriguing was that Kyo Flynn was staring straight at him. That's strange, she doesn't seem to have any spiritual pressure at all yet she's looking right at Grimmjow. Can she see him? Or even sense him? There is obviously something she is not telling us. The quincy thought to himself as he stared at Kyo before she turned and greeted Orihime and Rukia. He would have passed her staring at the arrancar for coincidence if she hadn't whirled back to check if he was still standing there. What are you hiding Kyo? And why is Grimmjow here, what is Aizen up to?
Ichigo came up behind his dark haired rival. "What're you staring at?" He asked. Uryu refrained from rolling his eyes at Ichigo's slight lack of ability to sense spiritual pressure. The dark haired teen decided to keep what he had witnessed to himself, at least until he learned more about what the new girl may have been hiding. Ichigo frowned at Uryu's silence as he sighed in slight frustration and walked off leaving the quincy to his thoughts.
"Hey Kyo, you're not going out to your special class today?" Keigo asked poking the girl's head. Kyo shook her head as she answered, "No, I only go out for that class once a week." Keigo nodded his mouth forming a silent 'oh'. Orihime leaned as close as she could get without leaving her seat so she could whisper, "What do you do in that class anyway?" Anyone withing earshot was now leaning in Kyo's direction, curious as to hear her answer. The small girl rolled her violet eyes as she said, "Curiosity killed the cat you know." And that was all she would give them despite Keigo and Orihime's constant pestering.
Thankfully the day ended quickly so there were no more questions about what her 'special class' was. Kyo was just too shy to let them find out she was in voice lessons. Suddenly a tap on her shoulder brought her out of her thoughts. "Hey there Kyo." The girl turned to see Rukia standing behind her, Ichigo a few feet behind her. "You want to walk home with us?" The dark haired girl asked. Kyo glanced at Ichigo, quickly looking away as he met her gaze. Oh how she hoped there was no blush showing on her face. Shaking her head furiously she giggled lightly and looked back at Rukia, "Yeah okay that'd be great." Violet eyes darted back to meet brown eyes and a small smile played on her lips as Rukia linked arms with her and dragged the small brown/red haired girl after her.
Before Rukia sped off to the back of Ichigo's house she had an idea. "Hey Ichigo! We should hang out tomorrow before Orihime's sleepover, you know to pass away the time." She suggested turning to face the scowling male. Ichigo sighed but didn't argue, what was the sense when it was Rukia. "Yeah sure, there won't be anything to do while we wait anyway." Then he looked at Kyo, "You can hang out with us too, we could get to know you better." Kyo blushed slightly at his invitation as she nodded slowly, "O-okay, that sounds like fun." Then she dashed to her house, "See you guys tomorrow!" And she ran through the front door leaving Ichigo and Rukia to stare after her in wonder.
"No! Please don't! Faaaatherrrr!" The small child cried as they destroyed him. His words rang through her head, 'Run as far away as you can and keep hidden.' The girl did as she was told, she ran and ran until a bright light swallowed her up, taking her from her home.
Kyo woke up with a scream in her throat. The scream wasn't released, she'd become able to keep it in as she woke from the same nightmare she'd had every night since she was little. Slowly with laboured movements she got up and went to shower, changing into black jeans and a purple hoody that was way too big for her. She was just finishing breakfast when a knock came at her door. Oh crud, Ichigo and Rukia are here! They can't find out. Running to the door and grabbing her keys at the same time she called out to no one, "Don't worry mom, I got the door! See you later! Love you too!" And she threw the door open to find none other than Rukia and Ichigo standing there. She quickly closed and locked the door hoping they wouldn't notice and bounded out the door.
"Morning guys!" She chirped in a bright mood. Rukia smiled widely at the ball of energy. Ichigo looked down at the both of them, as they were close to the same height, Kyo being a tad bit shorter than Rukia making her about the same height as a certain silver haired soul reaper. The orange haired teen smirked at them saying, "Well if we're going we'd better head off now." Both girls looked up at him and grinned. "Alright! let's go!" Kyo pumped her fist into the air and took off running down her front walkway, followed by an equally energetic Rukia and a slightly reluctant Ichigo.
The group of three walked aimlessly around Karakura town. Kyo was estatic about actually seeing the town for the first time. Rukia bombarded her with questions about things like what she liked to do in her free time and where she lived before she moved to Karakura town. The girl answered as truthfully as she could without giving away any of her secret. "Well, I love to draw and read. As for where I lived before moving here I actually lived in Spain." Rukia's eyes widened as did Ichigo's. The male of the group found himself asking, "Were you born there?" Kyo shook her head, "Nope, I was born in Tokyo but my family moved because of my mom's job." Rukia questioned next, "Really? What does your mom do?" Even though her last answer was only partially true, the part about where she was born she had no problem telling her friends the truth on this one. "My mom's an artist, she does commissions for big companies and stuff." Her father had always spoken fondly of her mother's artwork and how the Kyo had gotten her talent from her mom.
Kyo stared off into space for a moment before realizing something she had forgotten before. She had never been to a sleepover in her life. "U-um, w-what should I bring to the sleepover with me? I've never been to one before." Ichigo actually gasped as he stared at her with wide eyes. Rukia even thought it was weird. This girl seemed to make friends as easily as walking down the street, yet she'd never been invited to a sleepover? "Well, you bring the obvious stuff like pyjamas and clothes for the next day. Some sleepovers you bring a sleeping bag or blankets and a pillow." Ichigo explained. Rukia nodded, "And even games or something to do while everyone's awake." Kyo grinned, "That sounds really fun! Now I really can't wait for tonight." Rukia grinned too, something in a store window suddenly catching her eye.
"Hey look! That stuffed rabbit looks just like Chappy!" The dark haired girl cried, pointing at the stuffed animal in the window. Kyo came over to stand next to Rukia and stared wide eyed at the little white bunny, of course she had no idea what a Chappy was. "Oooh! He's soooo adorable!" Ichigo just looked at the two girls, an annoyed look on his face. "Hey, it's getting late we should head home and get ready for tonight." Rukia and Kyo looked back at him and nodded simultaneously. They started making their way back home when Kyo stopped and looked behind her. She wasn't sure what she'd felt at first untill she saw him. The same strange man she'd seen at school the day before. His blue eyes scanned over her curiously as his messy blue hair waved in the slight breeze. He grinned before vanishing before her eyes. "Hey, what's up Kyo?" Ichigo called back to the short teen. Kyo turned to see him and Rukia looking at her with concern clear on their faces. "Oh, nothing! Just thought I saw someone that looked like someone I knew." She lied hoping neither had seen the arrancar too. Rukia simply nodded as Ichigo shrugged. The three turned again and began walking in the direction of home once more.
D-F: Oooooh! Kyo can see arrancars too! And what exactly is Aizen up to? And why is Grimmjow in Karakura town? Also sorry for the lenght, I had meant to have the sleepover in this chapter but I started writing and all of a sudden I felt like the energizer bunny. I just kept going and going and going... lol. I promise as soon as the sleepover happens this story will get much more interesting and exciting. All of Kyo's secrets will come out in the next chapter so stay tuned to find it all out! Thanks to everyone again who's reading this. R&R =3
