Chapter two: Nakura Narumi
"Fine then, but you better bring me back something good this time." She walked back into the Shack. Nakura looked at the three boys still lying in bed, shaking her head she heads back outside to the river.
Coming back in the Shack with two pales of water she throws them onto the three boys. All shocked at how they are awoken they quickly sit up and glare at Nakura. "Hmm, suits you guys, No sleeping while Jin is off repaying the farmer. Jin also says to stay here and not cause any more trouble." The three look at each other and grin.
Nakura sat outside looking over the city, from a cliff well above the city. She looked off into the distance and stared at the soul society's very own Gotei 13. "Wouldn't it be nice to do something like that?" She thought out loud. Coming back to she looked over to where Jin should be, his instructions that she had to watch the three coming back into her head. 'Fine I'll go watch them and make sure that they don't do anything to stupid.' She got up from her cliff and left.
Back at the Shack, Nakura walked in to see that one of the boys has gone missing. "Alright where's Andrew?" She questioned the two other boys. They both shrugged and she sighed, "Fine then don't leave and wait for Jin to show back up. Nakura stepped out of the Shack and started looking in the immediate area around the Shack.
She searched for hours around the Inuzuri until she noticed a crowd, when she walked through it she saw Andrew being pinned down to a table by a Shinigami, She knew what they where since she wanted to be one. She had no idea what was going to happen next, she closed her eyes and heard the Shinigami say, "Hey boy did you just throw a rock at me?" She opened her eyes to see Jin standing there. "And if I did?"
"That was a big mistake." The Shinigami takes a swing at Jin.
To afraid of what was going to happen next Nakura left the crowd of people, as she got to the edge she heard Jin scream. She ran looking for help when she ran into a Captain. "Captain you need to help my friend." She pleaded as she pulled at his Hidori. The Captain turned around. "So what seems to be the problem?" He said as he got down onto one knee. "There's a Shinigami who is going to kill my friend." The Captain's face got very serious at this, "Lead me there." Nakura agreed and ran back towards the crowd.
"Thank you little girl, I can handle it from here." The Captain said turning towards the crowd, all of a sudden there was an outburst of spiritual pressure. Nakura fell over from it. When all was done the Captain was walking away he looked over at Nakura and gave her a friendly smile. Nakura got up and looked at Jin; he had a contempt look on his face like he was thinking something over. "Jin are you alright? Your arm isn't too bad is it?" Nakura hurried over to her friend.
"Nakura, I'm fine don't worry about it, what about Andrew is he okay?"
"I don't know I haven't seen him since he went running off." She was worried about him. Three boys came running up followed by Iroh, "Well then would you look here you weren't lying this time." The three boys looked at Iroh then back at Jin. "Well Jin you can come over to my place for now and get that arm of yours fixed up."
Inside of Iroh's house Nakura sat with the three boys, none of them spoke or moved. Jin came walking in followed by Iroh. "Jin stay away from physical labor for awhile, don't overdo it."
"Of course, thank you for helping me." Jin bowed a little. "Now Andrew, do you want to explain why you were out of the Shack today?" He said turning towards the boy at the end of the couch.
"I… had…too" He started to mumble and the words became incoherent. The five of them bowed to Iroh and then left.
When they got there the Shack was on fire. The Shinigami from earlier stood there laughing, when he seen the five of them approaching he turned and ran. The five of them started running towards the river and plunged into it grabbing as much as they could. They threw the water at the Shack. Nakura runs into the burning building remembering the two pales that she had in the morning. She grabbed the two pales and a burning log fell onto her right arm. She kicks the burning log off of her arm and races outside with the two pales. Jin meets her at the door and rushes the pales over to the boys. Nakura runs into the river and plunges her right arm into it.
Standing just outside of the half remaining Shack, the five of them looked at each other happily.
"Well at least we rescued most of it." Jin said sitting down onto the grass. "How's your arm?"
"Don't you start that with me all I got was a burn, you got a deep cut."
The five of them laughed and fell asleep under the stars.
The next day when the sun came up Jin was first to rise. He got up and walked down to the river. Washed up then turned around to see Nakura sitting up clutching her arm. "What's wrong with your arm?"
"Nothing it just burns." She said wincing at the pain.
"Come-on we gotta wrap it up."
Hours later Nakura has her arm wrapped up, from fingertip to her shoulder. Moving her arm it was in less pain. Jin walked up to her, "Nakura I have to talk to you privately."
"Alright, what's the problem?"
"It's about yesterday, Shiga-Taichou invited me to join the Shinto academy, and I want to go. That Shinigami yesterday that's not how protectors are supposed to act, both of us know it. I'm going to sign up tomorrow; I've already made up my mind." Jin paused, Nakura stood there silent. "I need you to keep the three safe. Iroh promised he would give them a job so that they can bring in some food." He paused again. "Goodbye Nakura." Jin stood up and started walking away.
"Jin wait," Nakura ran over to her friend and hugged him. "You can't leave, not now. What am I supposed to do if you're not here keeping the boys out of trouble?"
"I know you will find out something to do." Jin pushed her away. "Nakura please don't make this harder than it already is. I have to go." Jin turned and ran into town.
"But Jin what am I supposed to do without you?" Nakura fell to her knees, hand outstretched.
Yesh done with the second chapter *high five* good thing I started working on this like two days ago. So anyways if you got confused somehow at the begening (can't spell) it starts off right where Jin has gone off to work, then from there it kinda jumps around until it hits the Shinigami part. *pst I know that this is kinda annoying but review. Oh yeah by the way I don't own bleach... wait yes I do and I also own laundry detergent, and soap, and *punch to the face*.
