D-F: So Kyo is being followed around by an arrancar. Wait... how does she know about arrancars? What exactly is she anyway? Well don't worry you'll find out this chapter. Also I'm sorry if at any time Kyo seems like a Mary-Sue I'll try not to let that happen. And I'm sorry if I make any of the Bleach characters OOC. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, faved, and to all who are reading this ^^
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Bleach or it's characters (though Ichigo is still locked in my closet). I DO however, own Kyo Flynn and all other OCs not found in Bleach.
Chapter 6
Once they had returned home the three split up and went into their houses, at least Ichigo and Kyo did, Rukia just went to the back of Ichigo's house and jumped into his room through the window. It hadn't taken them very long to get ready and now they were standing outside, about to head to Orihime's apartment. "Ready to go Kyo?" Rukia asked, a huge grin spreading across her face. Kyo nodded grinning as well. She's so friendly for a soul reaper, I wonder if she'd be as friendly if she knew what I was. Ichigo had already started off down the street, he turned back to look at the two girls, "Hey are you coming or what?" Rukia and Kyo stuck their tongues out at him then burst out laughing. The orange haired teen rolled his eyes and turned back the way they were going. Those two are so annoying together, though there's something different about Kyo. He thought to himself. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but there was definitely something up with the new girl. He glanced at her over his shoulder and caught her eyes, those vibrant purple eyes bore into his brown ones. At least untill she blushed and looked down. Ichigo smirked turning around once more as the three continued on to Orihime's apartment.
"Hey! You guys are here!" Orihime glomped the person that was nearest her which happened to be Rukia. Kyo giggled as Chad and Uryu came up the street towards the group. "Hi Chad! Hi Uryu!" Orihime, Rukia, and Kyo greeted at the same time. Chad waved as Uryu merely nodded. "So are you ready to have some fun!" Orihime struck a pose as she grinned at the others. Rukia grinned back as Kyo giggled. Chad remained stoic while Ichigo and Uryu gaped at the orange haired girl. As the group made their way into Orihime's apartment Kyo hesitated unable to shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. Ichigo sopped beside her, "You okay?" He asked, concern clear in his voice despite his scowl. The short girl smiled up at him, "Yes I'm fine, thanks for asking." And she skipped ahead of him coming up beside Rukia and Orihime, nearly tripping in the process.
Rukia eyed the new girl suspiciously. She had absolutely no spiritual pressure what-so-ever, not even a tiny hint of any. Kyo Flynn was perfectly normal, too normal and that was what had Rukia's attention. The rest of the group had spirit energy, their powers had surfaced shortly after Ichigo had taken her powers. Kyo you're hiding something and I bet it has something to do with the spiritual pressure that was detected in the soul society. I will find out what it is.
"Anyone hungry? I can put a meal together for us." Orihime offered much to the dismay of her friends. Uryu saved them all from the girl's cooking, "That's okay Orihime, I put together a lunch for us all if anyone get's hungry." The all gave the teen a relieved look as Orihime smiled not offended at all. Kyo glanced at Uryu then whipped out her sketchbook and a pencil, her hand flying across the paper. Noticing she was drawing the quincy tried not to move so he wouldn't disturb her concentration. Kyo noticed this and grinned. "Don't worry Uryu, you can move, it won't throw me off at all." She said airily. The dark haired teen nodded and went back to what he was doing while Kyo drew. Kyo's intensity caught Ichigo's curiosity and he leaned closer trying to get a glance at the picture. WAHP! Kyo snapped the book closed so fast Ichigo could feel the air from the pages.
They all gaped at her as if she'd grown an extra head. The violet eyed girl smiled sheepishly as she put her sketchbook away, "Sorry about that, I don't really like showing people my drawings." Suddenly a beeping noise went off. They all turned to see Rukia pull out a cell phone and flip it open. She stared at the screen then looked up at Ichigo. "Ichigo, Urahara needs to see us at his shop, now." She said in a stern voice. Ichigo knew that there was a hollow attack and that was the only way he and Rukia could leave without Kyo asking questions. Assuring the rest of them, all who knew what was going on except Kyo, that they would be back in a bit Rukia and Ichigo took off to where the hollow was.
Kyo thought it was quiet funny that they all thought she had no idea what was going on. She'd felt the hollow before Rukia's tracker had gone off and knew the thing was a high level hollow. Maybe I should go help them, they won't need to see my face or even know it's me. I just can't sit by and do nothing. She thought to herself as she stood up, thinking up a lie quickly. "Um, guys I uh, forgot my pyjamas! I gotta go back and get them, I'll be back shortly!" And without waiting for an answer she dashed out of Orihime's home. "Aren't those her pajamas there in her bag?" Chad asked pointing to Kyo's open bag where a pair of purple pajama pants were roughly folded. "There's something she's not telling us." Uryu stated as the three stared at the door waiting for Rukia, Ichigo, and Kyo to return.
She stood in a deserted alley looking around to make sure there was no one around to see what she was about to do. Alright, here goes nothin'. She thought to herself as she held two fingers to her mouth and uttered, "Soul Release." Kyo's spirit separated from her body. Before her body hit the ground she caught it and jumped to the top of a building, placing her lifeless body out of sight. In her spirit form Kyo's brown/red hair became silver with the same red streaks. Her eyes remained the same vibrant purple. She wore a blue short sleeved shirt with yellow trim and orange pants that had an orange strip that wound around each calf with excess material connecting them. She also wore a brown poncho type coat and brown hat, both with red trim. A pair of ragged green fingerless gloves covered her hands and she donned a pair of white high tops. Her zanpak-to which hung horizontal across her back was pretty much concealed by her cloak. "Time to kick some hollow tail." She grinned as she took off across the roof tops.
When she reached the place where the hollow was attacking Kyo found Ichigo and Rukia already there. Ichigo was fighting the creature with the largest zanpak-to she had ever seen; it was a magnificent weapon, one that she felt herself longing to wield. Kyo shook her head to clear it as Rukia turned to stare at her. She knew the soul reaper had no idea exactly who was standing there, however Kyo was sure her spiritual pressure made the girl uneasy so she gave Rukia a little wave to let her know she wasn't a threat to them. Unfortunately Rukia being distracted caused Ichigo to get distracted and he glanced behind him to see what Rukia was staring at. That's when the hollow drove it's horned tail straight into Ichigo's chest.
The orange haired substitute soul reaper coughed once as he collapsed to his knees. The hollow tossed him aside as Rukia and Kyo both shouted at the same time, "Ichigo!" Rukia had started running towards him as she realized that the stranger was actually Kyo! She froze in mid-step and turned back as Kyo ran towards the hollow. Red and black energy formed around her hand as she charged a cero. The hollow noticed this and sneered at Kyo, "So, you would attack your own kind?" The small girl sneered back at the hollow, her voice taking on a venomous tone, "You are not my kind filthy creature." And with that she brought her hand up in front of her and cried, "Cero release!" The cero was released causing the hollow to cry out in agony but it was not destroyed.
Kyo drew her zanpak-to, holding it in front of her she took up a defensive stance as the hollow charged her. "You're wasting my time." Kyo stated as she swung her sword at the hollows mask, the sword cut a line through the bone and Kyo put a burst of spirit energy into her weapon causing the crack in the hollow's mask to widen and engulf the monster. In one final cry of anguish the hollow disintegrated and was gone.
Rukia had been able to tear her gaze away from the fighting Kyo and was now trying to heal the giant wound in Ichigo's chest. No matter how hard she tried though the deep gash would not close, and Ichigo's breathing was becoming more and more shallow. Kyo ran over to the two, returning her zanpak-to to it's scabbard cutting her palm in the process. "Here, Rukia let me try." She said as she knelt next to her friend. Kyo placed her bleeding palm over Ichigo's chest as both her hand and Ichigo's wound began to glow lavender. The gash quickly closed up and Kyo allowed her hand to drop to her side as Ichigo slowly regained conciousness.
The dark haired soul reaper overcame her shock at seeing the girl she had befriended in this odd state. The spiritual pressure radiating from Kyo was strange, but Rukia could recognize part of it. "Arrancar!" She hissed as she drew her zanpak-to and pointed it at Kyo. The white/red haired girl didn't move a muscle, she just stared at the blade that was just centimeters from her face. Kyo closed her eyes, waiting for the blow that never came. The girl opened an eye and then the other as she realized Ichigo had ahold of Rukia's arm.
"Ichigo let go of me, she's the enemy!" Rukia exclaimed. The orange haired soul reaper scowled, "If she was our enemy do you think she would have killed that hollow then healed me? Besides, I think there's more to her being an arrancar, she doesn't have a broken mask." Rukia didn't say anything, just frowned as she lowered her sword. The short soul reaper only then noticing Kyo had no mask fragment. Kyo gave Ichigo a grateful look but the boy scowled at her as well. "You've been lying to us." He stated in a matter of fact way. Kyo nodded, "Yes, I have." Ichigo sighed, Rukia still tense beside him, "Well I guess you'll have some explaining to do then." Kyo nodded slowly, "Okay, I promise I'll tell you everything, but let's go back to Orihime's first. The rest of the group should know about this as well." Ichigo and Rukia were slightly surprised that she knew Orihime, Chad, and Uryu were spiritually aware as well, untill they mentally face-palmed. She had to have pesquisa if she was an arrancar so of course she knew about the rest of them. Ichigo nodded, Rukia still looking unsure. She didn't want to trust the girl, but if Ichigo was going to give her a chance to explain then so would she. Kyo got to her feet and made to lead the way back to Orihime's apartment. "Oh yeah, mind if we stop to get my body from where it's hidden?" She asked as the three headed back.
