I do not own bleach. However, my Oc and the story plot belongs to me!
Third update in three months? Wow, I feel like I'm on a roll, hopefully I can keep it up!
I now present to you chapter 5!
It was a scorching hot day, the sun kissing almost every nook of the sands and waters; a perfect day to spend at the beach.
"We're finally here! Let's go to the change rooms and change into our bathing suits."
All the girls followed Rangiku to the change rooms while the guys found an area of the beach to set up their stuff. After a couple of minutes the girls came back, all changed into their newly bought swimwear.
"What do you guys think?" asked Rangiku.
All the guys stared at Rangiku, her breasts hardly concealed by her top, she definitely wasn't shy when it came to her body. It almost gave half of the guys a nosebleed. The rest of the girls looked cute rather than sexy in their swimsuits.
"Wait a minute, aren't we missing someone?"
"Yeah, what happened to Nicara?" All the girls gyrated their heads from side to side trying to spot their friend.
"Oh, I see her over there, it looks like she's talking to a couple of girls." The women Nicara was having a conversation with were quite busty, their figures almost par with Rangiku and Orihime. They walked over to her, just as she was saying goodbye.
"Bye, see you another time," she beamed to whom seemed to be her friends.
"Who were they?"
"Oh, just some girls I know from work," she simply replied.
"Nicara!" Screamed Rangiku in alarm, her eyes all over Nicara's body.
"What?" Nicara asked confused, following Rangiku's gaze. Did I forget to put a shirt on or something?
"Why are you wearing a tank top over your bikini?!"
Nicara slightly blushed. "Well, I didn't feel comfortable walking half-naked around the beach." To Nicara, walking around in a bikini was practically the same as walking around in just your bras and panties, which was something she couldn't imagine doing.
"Oh, come on, it isn't that bad, don't you want to feel sexy and catch a couple of guys attention? "
"I'm not really looking for one a the moment, and I'd rather not have them liking me for my body."
"Shesh, your such a downer sometimes," complained Rangiku.
"Aww, Rangiku, don't be such a meany, Nicara's just a little shy, let's go make sandcastle's."
"You coming, Nicara?"
"Yeah, You guys get started first, I just need to put my bag down."
Nicara went over to the spot the guys had picked, and put her stuff down. She was about to take off her necklace as well, but decided not too.
She quickly spotted Orihime, Rangiku, and the others beginning to build their sand castles on the far side of the beach. She was about to catch up to them when a couple of men blocked her path. They were tall and muscular with a handsome face, every girl's dream. They were shirtless of course, making it hard for Nicara not to stare at their six-pack. She wasn't interested, but she was still female after all.
"Hey, there, you come here often."
Shit, are these guys trying to flirt with me?
"No, not really." she simply stated, trying to end the conversation that had just started.
"Then how bout I show you around?"
"No, thanks, I 'm just here with some friends."
They continued to walk towards her. "A bit shy, aren't we? Don't worry, I don't bite, too much," The men chuckled darkly.
"Sorry, but I'm not interested." she said, as she tried her best to stay calm.
The man eyed her necklace, then grabbed it, jerking Nicara's head forward in the process.
"What do we have here? It looks like expensive stuff. It's from your boyfriend isn't it? He must be rich and shit, but why isn't he here with you? He's probably with his other play mates, so why don't we have our little fun too."
"Shut up." said Nicara. She wasn't sure if she could hold her temper anymore. They didn't know anything about her, how dare they think she was a slut.
"Don't worry, I'll be nice."
The man was about to grab Nicara towards himself, but she pushed hard against his chest, hoping to get away. Her back, however, ended up against someone's well toned chest, she didn't think, but attacked.
Nicara swung her arm back hoping to hit the person's face in the process, but the person caught her hand and spun her around before she realized who it was.
"It's me you fuckin' reatard!" Grimmjow hissed at her.
"Oh..." Nicara wasn't sure what to say, feeling slightly embarrassed. Knowing Grimmjow was here made her feel both relieved, and slightly vexed. She was glad that Grimmjow was here to help her, but at the same time she didn't like the fact that this was the second time she was the damsel in distress. She wanted to prove she could handle herself, like she always had. She didn't need a savior.
"Who's this?" asked the man, feeling slightly intimidated by Grimmjow's appearance.
Nicara was suddenly grabbed by the waist and pulled into Grimmjow's arms. His body was warm and humid, making her feel tense where his bare skin touched hers."She's with me," Grimmjow growled, "so I suggest you find yourself another bitch to fuck with."
The men exchanged glances, knowing that if they didn't leave the girl alone, the blue haired man was going to turn this into a fight. "Tch, whatever, There's a couple of women over there who would gladly give themselves to us." The man said as he and his two friends left.
After the men were out of sight, Nicara pushed herself out of Grimmjow's arms without any sign of gratitude. Her ungratefulness caused a spark of anger to rise in Grimmjow. For the second time, he had protected her and he wanted something in return, even if it was just a small 'thank you.' He wasn't the helpful type, but when he saw those men swarming on Nicara, he couldn't stop himself from budging in.
"What? I don't get a thank you for saving your ass again."
"Me and my ass was doing fine, I was just about to get away when you showed up." Nicara shouted as she began to walk away from him.
"Yeah, that's why you were taking so damn long." He yelled after her.
"I didn't want to cause a scene."
After several seconds of silence, Grimmjow said, "I don't see why guys are always trying to rape you."
Nicara couldn't believe her ears. "Excuse me!?" she retorted, whipping around to face Grimmjow.
"Your lean, and you got a small rack, but then again I guess you got a nice ass for your figure," he continued on.
Nicara's jaw dropped. Did he just admit that he's been checking her out?
"Well with your jackass personality girls are going to forget that you're handsome in no time!" she shouted, trying to get even with him.
Grimmjow looked at Nicara, surprised by her sudden outburst. "You think I'm handsome?" He stated, more than asked. Most girls at school drooled over him, but she hardly seemed to look his way. Knowing that even Nicara thought he was good-looking only boosted Grimmjow's ego.
Nicara blushed, she wasn't suppose to admit that. "Never mind, " she said, trying to change the subject. "I'm suppose to help the girls build a sand castle."
"What are you five?"
"It's called having fun, Grimmjow, you should try it sometime."
"Tch whatever," Grimmjow muttered under his breath. He watched as Nicara made her way to the girls who had already begun building the sandcastle. Grimmjow hadn't thought of joining them, never in a million years, and he wasn't going to start now. So instead of enjoying the sun and having fun, he went back to his spot under the shade where everyone had left their belongings.
By the time Nicara had caught up with the girls, the sandcastle was already on it's way."You guys are already half way done?"
"Yeah, well what took you so long Nicara?"
"Umm, I just got caught up with another couple of friends."
"Oh really?" questioned Rangiku. "From where I was standing it seemed like you were getting pretty cozy with someone who has bright blue hair."
"You're just imagining things, Rangiku, I think the heat's getting to your head. Maybe you should take a break, and I'll continue whatever you were doing."
Rangiku eyed her suspiciously, "Fine," she sighed, "But I'll get you to spill your juicy romance to me some other day."
"Oh my god, we're almost done!"
"YAY!"
"Who want's to get some water from the ocean for the moat?"
"I'll go." Nicara volunteered.
"I'll come with you." said Orihime.
The two girls walked silently towards the ocean with a bucket in each hand. At first the walk was silent and awkward, until Orihime mentioned the blue haired male.
"Nicara?"
"Hmm?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Are you and Grimmjow..."
Nicara almost choked after hearing Grimmjow's name. "Oh my god, not you too."
"But Rangiku said that she saw you too together."
"Let's face it, Rangiku likes to gossip... a lot. "
"But I saw you guys too."
At this point Nicara's only choice was to tell the truth. "Grimmjow was just scaring off some guys for me, they wouldn't leave me alone."
"So you guys are friends now?"
"I prefer the word acquaintances. " They finally reached the water. The breeze from the ocean was cool and exhilarating against their bodies. "Orihime, let's go for a swim!" Nicara suggested.
"The water's so cold!" Orihime squealed as she set foot into the ocean waters.
"Yeah, but that's what makes it refreshing!" The two girls, splashing each other with buckets of ice-cold water, couldn't help but enjoy each others company. They both smiled in happiness, trying to remember the last time they had so much fun with friends.
Grimmjow was sitting under the sun when the sky suddenly got murky with a dark aura surrounding it. It didn't take him long to sense what was coming."Shit." He said as he ate a soul candy and changed into his arrancar body. Boy, did it feel good for him to be back in his real form. He quickly met up with the other shinigami where the woman were building their sand castle. All of them were now in their out of their gigai and in their real bodies.
"What's happening?"
"Hollow's are coming," Grimmjow stated. Maybe it was because he was a hollow himself, for he could feel and sense it through his bones.
"Is everyone here?" Ichigo asked, "Where's Orihime and Nicara?"
"They're by the water."
Seconds later, there was a rip in the sky and hundreds of hollows came pouring out, attacking every human in sight. The two weakest links were near the ocean, where the hollows are, by themselves. This can't be good.
"Me and Grimmjow will go find them, the rest of you guys try and get everyone on the beach to safety." For once Grimmjow didn't argue with Ichigo.
A hollow with giant horns and claws surrounded the two girls. It stared at Orihime and Nicara with eyes full of hunger. The hollow could sense that the girls both had above average level of reiatsu, causing it to lick it's lips for a mouth-watering snack. "You two smell delicious! I wonder which one of you I should eat first!"
"Orihime, what is that?" Nicara stuttered. She was looking directly at the monster, her eyes full of fear. Her body was rigid, and could hardly move, she didn't know what to do, her eyes only flickered to Orihime in dismay.
Orihime was surprised that Nicara could see the hollow, but it wasn't time for questions or explanations. The most important thing that she had to do right now was get Nicara to safety, so she yelled, "Run, Nicara, I'll hold him off, Shiten KÅshun, I reject!"Orihime created a triangular shield, but the hollow charged up a zero and shot directly at the shield causing an explosion. Orihime flew backwards into the sand, clutching her side in pain.
"Orihime!" screamed Nicara as she ran up to Orihime's bloodied body.
"Nicara run..."Orihime groaned before fully losing consciousness.
Nicara was suddenly kicked from behind, causing her to land about forty feet away from Orihime's body. "Get away from her!" Nicara yelled at the monster while trying to get back on her feet. She knew yelling at the monster was practically pointless, but at least it might buy her some time.
"Don't worry," the hollow chuckled at Nicara, "once I'm done eating her I'll have you for dessert!"
Even though Nicara knew trying to attack the monster was probably futile, she had to try anyway, so she ran towards Orihime and the hollow at full speed.
"I see them, and there's a hollow attacking them." said Ichigo. "We've got to hurry."
"Shut up, Kurosaki, you're the slow one." growled Grimmjow, but he was right, he could tell that both of their reiatsu was decreasing.
They saw how Nicara was trying to protect Orihime, but the hollow was too strong compared to her human body. Ichigo and Grimmjow were about to arrive at the scene, but they were a second too late as they watched the hollow's claws pierce through Nicara's body.
So how'd you like the ending?
Okay, I honestly think I did a better job writing this chapter, or at least I hope. Please tell me what you think, feel free to PM me or leave a review!
