VI: Can I Just Hug You? Please~?
M.G. Crystal: Thank you Antex-The Legendary Zoroark for giving me 5 reviews in one day! Here's a virtual cookie made by Uryū! -gives Antex-The Legendary Zoroark a cookie- Thank you once more! ^^
Ichigo: You're unusually happy? o_O
M.G. Crystal: Got a problem with that Strawberry?
Ichigo: What was that!?
M.G. Crystal: What up with you fool!?
Uryū: No she's starting her "ghetto talk"! Stop arguing with her Ichigo! -turns to audience- Anyways, "Mistress Galiancrystal doesn't own Bleach, if she did then another season would have been added. If you see Sephiroth drunk and swinging his shirt/jacket around, then yes she owns it. BUT DON'T SUE!"

(link on my Bio Page)
My shadow is fracturing
It's pieces are scattering
They all… run away
I skip over falling blooms
And though they are beautiful
Unseen— They decay
Sickening sweetness flows on the wind
From the corner of the street
And in the distance I hear the cries
As someone weeps
Stolen by the midnight wind
My hopes have all been swept away
Wonder if they'll ever be found…
I cannot accept this world
But it looks like rejecting it
Only makes my anger rebound
But I will wake up one day
If this is all in my head
And even if I still lose
I'll know that I am not dead!
[My P.O.V.]
"Man don't I feel gross." I heard Ichigo complain as he slightly bends over and opens his kimono top to pour out the sand that's in there and yes, I got a nice view of his muscles. What, can I not be a girl? What did Autumn and McKenna and Danielle teach me?! Eh it's too late though, they molded my mind into that of about 50% perverted more or less :). Uryū and Chad also got up and dusted themselves off of the beautiful white sand as I put my hand into a pocket in my coat and took out my sky blue iPhone 5c(I got that for Xmas from Santa~ ;)) that had a black woven grip case on it and took a beautiful picture of Hueco Mundo. Hey, we're only here to save Orihime, but why not smell the roses for a little? Or in this case, dead Hollows. Yeager(yes I named my iPhone after Eren Yeager from AoT) then made a soft click as a signal that he's(yes I claimed that it was a he, I don't use Siri at all) done taking the picture and I put him back down to see that picture of a black sky -no clouds whatsoever- with a signal crescent moon in the black sky with white sand dunes with grey shadows and dead grey trees.
Beautiful in my opinion. Too bad we're only here for a limited amount of time though. So I put Yeager back in the pouch of the inside of my coat where there seems to be a whole bunch of other stuff in there too. Is my coat made of the same material as the TARDIS is? "So this is Hueco Mundo." Ichigo says as we all stand about forearm length from each other in a line. I feel so small right by Chad! He's huge I tell you from my 5'6 height! He looks like 6'4 or something like that! "It seems like a pretty lonely place doesn't it? There's nothing here, completely desolate." Ichigo comments. "There are some plants around, but they seemed to be withered." Chad replied as I walked up to the tree Uryū was examining. "They're not exactly plants." Uryū said to grab the duo's attention as I snap a piece of the tree off, and it felt like smooth rock and looked crystal-like too. "They're made of some kind of quartz-like crystals." He explained as I now found a small glass bottle with a cork to fit it in from one of the many TARDIS pockets of my jacket.
I bend down and filled the small bottle about one third of it with the white sand and place the branch down the bottle and placed the cork to seal it. Know I got a treasure to keep from my adventures^^! "Look!" Chad said as me and Uryū turn around to see what Chad was pointing out. And I saw the one thing which held the Society's enemy:
Aizen.
I hated that man's guts so much! Dunno what makes me hate him, but I just don't like him! Heck, when I first saw the guy, I didn't like him and his aura had that spoke "villain" all over it! I glared at the white fortress, Las Noches, with pure hate to where I think it could've melted like that Indian Prince's palace in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory featuring Johnny Deep, my favorite actor! "It looks like some sort of palace or fortress." Uryū claims as I then said, "And that's where you're friend should be held at. Las Noches…The Night." I muttered the last two words under my breath, knowing that my lineage from my Mom's side has known that word, well to be more exact, Spanish is my "mother tongue" and I sadly haven't practiced it in a long time, but I do know a few words. "That thing's enormous." Ichigo comments on the enormous white palace/fortress. "I'm not actually sure how far away it is." Chad adds in. "Well…at least seeing it from the distance gives us an idea of it's size." Uryū says as I knew Ichigo was going to say something about right now. "But that doesn't really change anything." He says and then Chad says, "In any case, it's better than going in blind."
"Exactly." Uryū and I end up saying in unison as I then get the feeling of being watched…Crap I forgot about the meeting, didn't I? "We're here to find Orihime, and at this point I'm gonna assume that's where they're keeping her." Ichigo says as I ignore what Uryū says and rack my brain to try to remember that names of the Espadas. "Okay starting from Cero(zero) it's Yammy… Primera(first) is Coyote Starrk… uh I forgot that guy…Tres(third) is Tier Harribel…Cuatro(fourth) is Ulquiorra Schifer/Cifer…Quinto(fifth) is Nnoitra…Sexta(sixth) Grimmjow Jagerjaques… 7th Zommari somethin'…Octava(eighth) Szayelaporro Granz… and the weakest is Aaroniero Arruruerie aka "Fake Kaien"…Good I'm done naming them. Sad how the 2nd and 5th are complete d-"
[Nobody's P.O.V.]
Inside of Las Noches, a giant door opens to reveal people in various appearances dressed in white. They walk into the empty dark room with blue tiles towards a table that has eleven chairs. "It looks like we have intruders." Spoke a male's voice. "How do you know that?" Another male's voice said, but it seems to hold an aged tone to it. "The 22nd Underground Passageway has just collapsed." Another male voice said, but much more calmer than the two before. "The 22nd? That's not much of a threat." The rough male voice scoffs and adds, "It's pretty far from here."
"It's too bad really." A calm and slightly effeminate voice says. "It would've be more interesting if they broke into the throne room instead." The owner of the voice complains as he sits down on his seat. "N-tee-hee-ha! That would've been cool." Laughs a male's voice as the owner sits down with his arms behind his head. "*sigh* Shut up." Another male's voice says as he sits down and turns his blue-grey gaze towards the two pervious voices before him. "I'm tired as hell, let's have some peace and quiet in here." He says as more members sit down. "…" Sat a…guy with a strange helmet to conceal their face. The others finally sat down, awaiting in silence for the last guest to come in. "Good morning…my dear Espada." Said a sickly sweet voice as he comes into the room with his two bodyguards behind him. "It seems we are under attack." He says to grab their attention. "Before we talk about that…let's have some tea first."
[My P.O.V.]
As we ran towards Las Noches, I chocked on my breath and began to cough violently as the others stopped with Ichigo asking if I was okay. "Yeah*cough*…I'm okay." I managed to cough up. "Just some sand flew into my mouth." I lied as we began to continue to run towards the white palace. The truth was that I was coughing because of one thing…
Just how the f**k do you find water in the middle of a f****n desert?!
[Nobody's P.O.V.]
"So does everybody have a cup of tea now?" Aizen asks his fellow Espada. "Good. Please listen carefully what I'm about to say. Begin the presentation Kaname." He says and Kaname responds with, "Sir." Kaname pulls a switch and a circle opens up in front of Nnoitra and Szayelaporro and shows a hologram projection of the group that's going to rescue Orihime: Ichigo, Chad, Victoria and Uryū. "There are four intruders trying to break in." The projection zeros in on Uryū's face. "Uryū Ishida." Then it goes to Chad's face. "Yatsutora Sado." And finally, Ichigo. "And Ichigo Kurosaki." Aizen says. "What about the girl?" Ulquiorra asks as the question about the girl gets everyone's attention to face Aizen. The brunette villain looks and zeros in on her face. "She looks a lot like her much like how Ichigo looks like Kaien." He thought and a unnoticeable smirk is on his face. "That is a surprise. We may not know who she is, but she'll be eliminated like the rest of the intruders." Aizen says as Starrk then felt something like a… kinship with the girl.
[My P.O.V.]
I then knew we were being watched, but I pretended that I didn't know but I then felt something. Like…a connection with someone? But who though? "It's your spirit animal, the wolf, Princess." I heard Hichigo say in my head. "There's someone here with the same animal spirit and they're trying to reach out to you."
"But who Hichigo. Who is it that's trying to communicate with me?" I thought back as I then remember reading this one Bleach fanfic where this girl's Zanpakutō was the spirit of a samurai and he had a dragon on his shoulder and when she walked pass by Toshiro, he felt a "kinship". Maybe it was because his dragon, Hyōrinmaru was trying to connect with her dragon? I dunno, but I'll try to find out who is it!
[Nobody's P.O.V.]
Grimmjow's eyes widen in shock with a single thought in his mind, "Kurosaki's here? In Hueco Mundo!?" Ulquiorra's face remained impassive as ever. "You mean these…Are our enemies?" Aaroniero Arruruerie asks in disbelief. "Ridiculous!" Baraggan says. "When you said we were under attack, I assumed it was some kind of army, these are just a bunch of kids!" Now why does that sound like something out of Scooby-Doo? "I don't see what the fuss is all about. Where's the danger?" Szayelaporro says in a bored tone. "I wouldn't underestimate these so-called "kids". Others have made the same mistake, the three were Humans who were once labeled Ryoka. Sometime ago, the four of them broke into the Soul Society and successfully toke on the Gotei 13." Aizen warns them as their in shock. These Humans were strong enough to break into Soul Society and were able to take on the Gotei 13 head on?
"Is that so?" Zommari says. "It means one of them is missing. Where's the original fourth warrior?" The dark-skinned man asks and Aizen smirks. "That would be Orihime Inoue." He says, only for Nnoitra to respond with, "Muah so they've come to save their friend have they? Why not let them try, they look weak as hell. 'Specially the girl." He points out. "Have you been listening at all?" Tier Harribel asks, annoyed by Nnoitra's response. "Huh?" The black-haired man responds to the blonde's question. "Lord Aizen just told us to not underestimate them." She says. "If I didn't know better, I think you're worried about these little brats." Nnoitra responds back. "Are you scared?" He asks and Tier glares at him and says, "What was that?" Grimmjow breaks the soon-to-be argument that was starting to heat up between the Tres and Quinto Espada by slamming his hand on the table and leaves the room. But Kaname asks him, "Where are you going Grimmjow?"
"I'm going to kill them." The blue-haired Sexta says. "You have to exterminate pests as soon as they start infesting your home." He continues as Kaname replies, "Lord Aizen hasn't given such an order yet…Sit back down."
"Hey! It's perfectly clear what he want's done! I'm going to remove these intruders!" (A/N: Ya tell him Grimm!) It becomes awfully silent. Kaname was thinking hard, trying his best to not let his anger get the best of him, and Gin was stilling grinning that famous grin of his with his eyes closed in their usual slits. "Grimmjow…" Aizen says and Grimmjow turns around to say, "…yes?"
"I appreciate your intentions and your enthusiasm…but I'm not finished speaking yet." The brunette says. "Could you return to your seat now?" He asks "kindly" to his subordinate. "…"
"…Well?"
"…"
"…I can't make out your answer…Grimmjow Jagerjaques." Then Aizen release a bit of his reiatsu, it glowed a lavender color, which managed to get Grimmjow to gasp for air and on his knees. Aizen stopped releasing his reiatsu as Grimmjow continues to gasp for air, regaining his breath. "Good, I see you understand." Aizen concludes. "Member of the Espada…as I pointed out to you, we have four enemies. It's unwise to underestimate them, but there's no need to become over wrought either. All of you are to return to your quarters and behave as if everything were normal…Don't be impatient, just sit and wait for the enemy to come to us. And don't be concerned, regardless of the situation as long as you remain calm and stay with me, they are no matched for us. We're unstoppable." Then the meeting ends and everyone leaves the rooms into their quarters. Thoughts in their head about the information about the enemy, but one was thinking about something else besides sleep, "Who is she? The girl…it feels like I know her…"
[My P.O.V.]
Both Ichigo and I fall to the ground, panting from running so much. "Where's*pant* the…water?" I complained through shorts breaths. "I*pant* dunno." Ichigo replies. "Damnit it seems like we've been running across this desert for hours and not matter what we're not getting any closer to the structure!" Strawberry also complained. "It's all perspective…the crystal trees in front of it look as small as needles…For the trees to look that small from this distance and the palace itself to look this big and contrast, we have to assume it looks unbelievably huge." Chad said as I sat up from the ground along with Ichigo. "You sure this isn't some kind of mirage?" Ichigo asks. "It's not a mirage. There's no way we could see a mirage from here. Shall I explain the concept of a mirage to you Ichigo?" Uryū asks Ichigo, annoyed by the fact that he said a rather stupid choice of words. "Don't start with me!" Ichigo says and then I see a small and cute lizard with a Hollow mask. "Aw~!" I said and then crouched in front of the creature.
"What a cute little fellow you are~." I said but then the little guy went into the sand. "Aw man!" I suddenly complain on how the little Hollow lizard disappeared. "You know when we first got here, I thought that we'd discover a world where nothing was able to live here." Ichigo says as I then put in my "two cents", "Well believe it or not Ichigo, there's living things everywhere in different sizes and shapes. The Hollow lizard was a small preview on what we're going to actually see here in the realm of Hollows." Then he asks about how the Hollows lived as I shrug my shoulders in response. I knew what Hollows ate besides Souls, but I pretended that I didn't knew. My attention went to Chad who had his hands on the ground as Ichigo and Uryū argue about Hollows and reishi. I saw the sand move away from his hands and his eyes widen. Now wondering if his powers were like a Hollows. "Hey Vicki," Uryū says and I turn to face him. "Yeah Four-Eyes?" I asked as he then got irritated by his nickname I gave him. At least it's better than "Pencil". "Do Summoners use the reishi in the air?"
"In all honesty…I dunno, but since we're kinda like Shinigami…I believe so. We can bend the reishi around us to our will and form things like a shield around our skin to lessen the damage, or if we're strong enough, we won't take any damage at all like Quincies." I responded as he then asks, "Wait. How do you know about Quincies and Shinigamis and Hollows?"
"That my friend…" I said and put on a pair of sunglasses much like the ones I have for my form. "Is classified info." I said in my best intimidation of Uryū and adjusted my sunglasses with my middle finger like those anime characters do all the time. Ichigo laughed as he realized that I did an intimidation of the Quincy. Everything Uryū started to say went one ear out the other as I got up and walked up to Chad who was also waiting for the others. "…" I knew the guys doesn't have much words to speak but holy cow he's quiet for a big guy! Ichigo then walks up towards us as Uryū says, "Wait!" Before we start walking off, then a noise grabs all of our attention as we turn our heads to see what it was. And it turns out to be what I called the "Troublesome Trio" along with their pet Hollow that came out of Dondochakka's mouth. They were playing their game of eternal tag with Dondochakka, Pesche and Bawabawa as the chasers with Nel being their target.
"A Human!?" Ichigo says in shock. "No way! There can't be another Human being here that's impossible!" Uryū says as Ichigo grabs Zangetsu from his back. "We'll deal with that later we gotta save her!" The Substitute Shinigami says. "Uh guys I think you should look before you…" But he then slams the sheathed over-sized Zanpakutō right in the middle of Dondochakka's masked face, sending him flying. "My brother!" Pesche cries out as he and Bawabawa are ganged up by Uryū and Chad. "…leap." I muttered as I then face-plammed at their stupidity. "Stop that!" Me and Nel shouted in unison at the boys. "Leave them alone!" The small teal-haired child cried out as they stop what they're doing. "What did we/they do to you? Stop picking on us/them will ya! Leave us/them alone! Huh?" Nel and I said and we then turned to each other realizing we said the same thing in our minds. We then laughed until my lungs hurt. "I like you!" I commented as she then said, "Nel like you too! I'm Nel!"
I then crouched down and put my hand out for her to shake. "I'm Victoria, but you can call me Vicki, okay Nel?" I said and we then shook hands, and then I suddenly hugged her. "I apologize for those three idiots actions, they sometimes don't look before leaping." I apologized and released her from the hug. "We're also really sorry too, we never thought that our game of eternal tag would cause such an misunderstanding. It'll never happen again." Nel also apologized with a bow then hugged me back which I also returned. " "Hug Nel", done! More fan-wishes I'll have to go through~!" I thought with a giggle in my mind. "You mean you play a game called "eternal tag"?" Uryū says in disbelief of Nel's words. "Unfortunately, there's nothing else to do here in Hueco Mundo to do to pass the time." Nel responded while starching the back of her head. " "eternal tag"? But you were crying while you're running away from them." Ichigo said in shocked.
"Sure. Nel is a masochist and it's no fun for Nel unless Nel is chased to the point where Nel is to cry." The teal-haired girl states as ichigo gets angry with Dondochakka about something. "Wait I'm confused, Nel is your name right?" Uryū asks Nel. "That's right ^^. Nel is an Arrancar and Nel's full name is Nel Tu~ ^^." She said happily. "An Arrancar?" Ichigo says in disbelief as I slap him behind his head. "Do you not see the mask on her head? You're such a baka that it makes me wonder who you're related to Old Man…but…" I said and put my finger on his forehead as he looks at me. "I could see that he gets it from you~." I added and gave him the same toothy grin Hichigo has as my right eye glows a eerie golden yellow color for a few seconds and Ichigo steps back in surprise. The grin turned into a smirk as the smirk faded into a flat line and my eyes go back to normal and to their impassive state much like Byakuya's face. Darn it, I might start to become like him in the future, but on the other hand I could get on his good side.
"Nel sure is and these are Nel's brothers!" She said and the guy with the critter-themed mask said, "I'm Nel's older brother, Pesche." Then it was the guy in polka-dots turn. "I'm the oldest brother, Dondochakka."
"…brother?" Chad says in disbelief. "And this is our pet! His name is Bawabawa!" Nel introduced the worm-snake-like Hollow. Ichigo then asks them about them being "siblings" aaaannnndddd he had to break it to them about not being siblings. "If these guys aren't my siblings, then who are they!?" Nel said, scarred of the situation Ichigo had to put them in. " "not her brother"? What are you talking about?" Dondochakka says, also scarred. "Nnnooo wwaaaaayy!" The teal-haired Arrancar says. Ichigo then tries to calm them down, which worked successfully. Nel then tells him about the Números(Spanish for "number" and Japanese for "number holders") which served directly under the Espada as Fracciónes(English plural, "fraction" in Spanish and "subordinate officers" in Japanese). "You have some nerve telling us we don't look like Arrancars when you even look less like Arrancars then we do!" Nel pointed out. Yes Nel, put the pieces together…your close…
"You don't have a mask, and you wear a black kimono. You're dressed more like…a…" She says and Dondochakka finishes off by saying, "A Shinigami you know what I mean?" Pesche then joins in the conversation. "Yeah like a Shinigami." The trio then pales real quickly as everything then becomes eerily quiet, except for the wind blowing and tugging on our clothes. "Eh…uhe…eeehhh~…" Nel whispers nervously as Ichigo says, "What is it?"
"What…are you guys anyway?" Nel asks nervously as Ichigo then straights out himself and places his hands on his hips and says, "ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Shinigami."
"Uryū Ishida, I am a Quincy." Uryū introduces himself while adjusting his glasses. "Yatsutora Sado…and I'm Human." Chad says as I then jab a finger at myself and say, "I'm Victoria Garcia…last of the Summoners." The trio screams in surprise. "A Shinigami!?" Nel yells in shock. "And a Quincy and a Human and a Summoner?!" Pesche also shouts in shock. "What are we gonna do?!" Dondochakka says. "You know what this means…" Nel says and then they shouted in unison:
"YOU'RE THE BAD GUYS!"
Let the crazy begin.
