Chapter 9

Neither Ichigo nor Kyo went back to sleep that night and pretty soon it was morning. The first person to wake up was Orihime, she didn't say anything about Kyo or Ichigo being awake already, though she didn't seem to notice either. She looked at Kyo with a big cheerful sunshine smile on her face, "Good morning Kyo!" The arrancar halfling flinched at the overly happy tone, one that seemed to loud and chipper for so early in the morning. However she smiled and returned the greeting, "Good morning Orihime, good morning to you as well Uryu and Chad." The latter two were also waking up.

"So who's hungry? I'll make us some breakfast!" Orihime cheered much to the horror of the others in the room. Lucky for them Kyo decided to intervene, "I have an idea, how about we go out to eat? My treat." Ichigo and Uryu both gave Kyo greatful looks. Orihime nodded at the idea, "That sounds like a great idea!" Kyo grinned as she pulled a sweater and pair of baggy jeans from her bag.

Orhime took one look at the small girl's outfit and gasped. "You're not wearing that are you?" She exclaimed causing Kyo to nearly jump out of her skin. With a small shrug the girl nodded only to be grabbed by the over enthusiastic orange haired girl and dragged off. Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu were left to stare after the girls, wondering what Orihime was planning.

"Orihime, I'm not wearing that! I can't!" Kyo shouted as she examined the lavender sundress that Orihime was attempting to make her wear. "Awww, but it'll look so cute on you!" Orihime countered. The dress truly was cute, it would probably go to just below Kyo's knees and it was sleeveless. It had a small patteren of blue diamonds on the bottom left of its hem and it had a thin ribbon tied around the middle with a large bow in the back, the ribbon and bow were also blue.

The guys who could hear Kyo's shouting didn't know what to think or say. Kyo eyed the dress, "Orihime, I'm not a dress person. Please can I just put on what I want to wear?" Orihime shook her head, "Just put this on, it's too small for me anyway." Kyo rolled her eyes and grabbed the dress knowing she couldn't get out of putting it on. She was quick getting dressed and when Orihime entered the room again she grinned at the girl. "I told you it'd be cute on you! I bet I know someone else who'll think it's cute." Orihime winked at Kyo.

"Huh? Whaddya mean?" The violet eyed girl asked, a confused look lighting up her face. "You know what I mean Kyo. You totally like Ichigo right?" Kyo's look of confusion was wiped away by a deep blush as she quickly looked away stuttering out a protest, "N-no, of course not!" Orihime smiled widely a touch of jealousy nipping at her mind, but she chose to ignore it. Kyo shook her head, "Really Orihime, I don't like him that way. Besides he probably likes Rukia, and I'm an arrancar."

Orihime sighed as she took Kyo by the wrist and pushed her out the door, right into a certain orange haired soul reaper. Both teens tripped up in each other and fell to the floor, leaving Kyo blushing severely. "S-s-sorry I-Ichigo!" The girl stuttered as she scrambled to her feet still blushing madly. Ichigo stood up as well, looking anywhere but at the small girl in front of him. The orange haired strawberry was turning as red as a strawberry.

Orihime skipped out of her room grinning wide. Uryu sweat dropped while Chad said nothing as usual. To get over the akward silence Kyo spoke up quickly, "So, everyone ready to get some breakfast?" Everyone nodded enthusiastically as Orihime led the way out of her apartment.

"Captain Ukitake, what did Captain Yamamoto say about the arrancar Kyo Flynn?" Rukia asked her captain. The tall white haired shinigami looked down at Rukia and smiled kindly. "Captain Yamamoto has decided, after a few protests against her death, to allow her to live. She will be watched closely to make sure she doesn't try anything, but from what you reported to me I believe she is harmless." Rukia shook her head slightly, she knew Ukitake would believe anyone to be innocent untill proven guilty. "Why don't you go to the world of the living and inform Ichigo Kurosaki and the others about this decision."

Rukia gaped at her captain, "But Captain! Why should we inform the arrancar that she is being watched?" Jushiro smiled again, "You mentioned that she seemed to have extraodinary sensing abilities, don't you think she would know there were soul reapers following her around? It would be better if she knew ahead of time." Rukia couldn't argue with Jushiro's logic, so she nodded, "Okay Captain, I'll leave right away." Rukia was gone in a flash and Jushiro Ukitake was left to smile after her. "Now Kyo Flynn, what kind of trouble are you going to be getting into?"

They were crammed into a booth at a small restaurant that Orihime had said made amazing pancakes. When they had went to sit down Ichigo had taken a seat next to the window, with Uryu in the middle and Chad on the outside. Seeing this Orihime shoved Kyo in next to the window so she would be across from the orange haired soul reaper. Kyo would have shot Orihime a dark look but she was afraid someone would notice and ask what was the matter.

The group ordered their meals and ate in mostly silence. Ocaisionally Kyo would steal a glance at Ichigo, who would do the same, neither aware of the other. Uryu noticed, of course, and couldn't help but smirk at the two. They're both completely oblivious of how the other feels about them. The quincy thought to himself, chuckling softly. "What's so funny Uryu?" Kyo questioned, giving the black haired teen a curious look. Uryu shook his head, "Nothing really." Ichigo was about to say something when Kyo stiffened. The other four looked at her in slight concern. "What's wrong?" Chad asked. The arrancar relaxed slightly, "It's just the Senkaimon being opened, it seems Rukia has returned."

The group gaped at her in shock. How could she know the gate to the Soul Society was being opened? Not even they normally sensed when a soul reaper came to the world of the living. Kyo gave them a look that said 'what's the big deal?' "Can't you guys feel it?" She asked, meaning the Senkaimon. The others shook their heads no. "Honestly I've never given much thought to being able to sense when soul reapers enter our world." Uryu explained. "Well we've never needed to worry about soul reapers coming through." Ichigo put in.

Kyo gazed at them curiously, "Yes but wouldn't it be a good idea to be more aware of even soul reapers entering the world of the living? After all you said Aizen betrayed the Soul Society, who's to say more soul reapers won't decided to betray them as well?" The others looked at her thoughtfully, they really hadn't thought about that before. All other thoughts and conversation was cut off however as Rukia burst through the door of the restaurant, thankfully in a gigai so that the occupants of the place were saved from running around screaming 'ghost' at a self-opening door.

"Good you're here. I need to talk to all of you on the descision of the thirteen court gaurd squads on what is to be done about the arrancar Kyo Flynn." Rukia spoke in a very formal tone. Kyo began to get a bit nervous wondering what was going to happen to her. Ichigo noticed the fear in those purple eyes and caught her gaze to smile reassuringly at her. He couldn't exactly say why, but no matter what they had decided Ichigo would fight it if they meant to execute Kyo. For reasons he couldn't begin to fathom, maybe it was the bond they shared from the dream walking, but Ichigo felt that he could trust Kyo. She was not a danger to them.

Rukia sat down next to Orihime as it was the only empty seat and began to relay the message Captain Ukitake gave her. Once she was done Kyo gave her an amused look, "So I'm to be watched at all times. That's not so bad; am I restricted from using my powers?" Rukia shook her head, "So long as you don't do anything that could be considered something Aizen would have his arrancar do than no you are not restricted from using your powers." Kyo nodded. Suddenly the group heard a loud roar and felt immense spiritual pressure.

"A hollow!" Uryu exclaimed just as Rukia's cell phone began beeping. "Ichigo! It's an Adjuchas class hollow!" The small soul reaper gasped. Ichigo was already juming up and getting ready to leave. Kyo stood as well, eager to fight the hollow. "Hey Kyo maybe you should stay here." Ichigo turned to the short hollow girl. Despite what he saw of her fighting skills last night he was a bit skeptical of her fighting capabilities. After all she was only half arrancar plus she was so small. Sensing the tall male's skepticism Kyo scowled, "Are you doubting my abilities? About the only thing I am lacking as an arrancar is heirro or the steel skin. Other than that I'm perfectly capable of handling myself in a fight against even an Adjuchas class hollow." Ichigo didn't know what to say to that. With an exhasperated sigh Ichigo nodded, "Fine you can come too, just be careful." Kyo grinned and nodded as she, Ichigo, and Rukia left to deal with the hollow. Chad, Orihime, and Uryu stayed at the restaurant discussing their thoughts on Kyo's situation and the Soul Society's decision.

"Lord Aizen, why are you so interested in aquiring the little halfling?" A smooth cold voice asked from the shadowy gloom of the traitorous soul reaper's throne room. The voice belonged to a certain deathly pale arrancar who stared boredly with green eyes at his leader. Aizen merely smirked, "I'm quite curious as to see how she would fare as a member of my army Ulquiorra. For someone who is merely a half-breed she certainly seems strong, plus I would like to see what powers she inherited from her mother." A small frown crossed Ulquiorra's features for a fraction of a second, "Powers from her mother? How do you know her mother had any?" Aizen chuckled darkly, "To have married an arrancar, wether he was in a gigai or not, the woman must have been spiritually aware. I understand that doesn't mean her mother did have powers, but it is a distinct possibility and I would like to find out firsthand." Ulquiorra nodded, not really caring just being curious.

"You are dismissed." Aizen adressed the fourth, who turned and left with that bored manner of his. Aizen smirked as he slouched for a moment on his throne. "Yes, Kyo Flynn will a wnderful addition to my arrancar army."

D-F: So Aizen wants to see what Kyo can do! But there's more to it than that I promise! ;3 And what's up with Ichi and Kyo? Maybe a little bit of romance is finally starting to come up? Alright then! Enjoy and such. R&R Thanks to all who are reading this!
