XI: Blue Panther
Ichigo: So what am I doing here exactly?
Starrk: *sighs* You're suppose to take my sister's place just this once. And other things as listed on this piece of paper. *hands paper to Ichigo*
Ichigo: Can't she do it herself?
Starrk: *already fast asleep*
Ichigo: *mutters curses under his breath and begins reading the note* "Hello people! As of now I'm being dragged around by my "sister" Lily to be shown around Las Noches. I'm surprised that you weren't able to answer my question Antex-The Legendary Zorark. The quote that Muramasa says in episode 233 is:
"Zanpakutō spirits are individual souls that are born within the hearts of Shinigami. They draw their power from the same source as their Shinigami, and are intertwined with their master's soul. Shinigami must reach deep into their own selves in order to find the power hidden within. They commune with their Zanpakutō spirit, bond together, and harness their power by learning their names. What's more, a few chosen Shinigami can gain even more power by manifesting an incarnation of their Zanpakutō spirit and controlling it. They wield the mighty Bankai. You and the captains have done this. But, living alongside Shinigami is not the only way for a Zanpakutō spirit to exist. I'm saying that every Zanpakutō spirit has free will, just like you do. Zanpakutō spirits are not dependent on Shinigami. We are separate entities. Two distinct beings, no one greater than the other. Is that so hard to believe? More proof of how arrogant you Shinigami are. Your blindness is why I'm here."
I don't own Bleach because it belongs to Tite Kubo and…" *throws paper across the room* There's no way I'm reading that part!
Ulquiorra: *picks up paper and says it out loud* "I will own if I see Byakuya as a…" *puts paper away in pocket and leaves the room as everyone is in shock*
Ichigo: Did that thing say… stripper?
-:- Opening: After Dark by Asian Kung-Fu Generation -:-
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.]
As Lilynette, my "soul sister" dragged me down the halls and I nearly tripped on my own feet at the speed she ran. "L-Lilynette slow down!" I said and added, "I can't keep up like this." Lilynette slowed down to the pace that I can be comfortable with and so we walked instead. "So sis," The green-haired girl asked me as I looked down at her. "Where did you live before here?" That question made me flinch as I realized that I've been gone for so long and that I didn't think about my family. I then felt something wet on my cheek and I quickly wiped it away before anyone noticed it. "Can… we not talk about it?" I asked as my voice slightly cracked and Lilynette nodded. "Race ya!" She suddenly said and speed off and I ran after her with a shout of, "Wait! Hold up!" Like a sudden flash, I bumped head first into a hard object and I fell on my butt. "Ow! Watch where you're going jacka**!" I shouted and then clamped my mouth shut as I realized who I just spoke to.
He looked like Pantera, except a little different as I knew he was about a foot taller than me, around the size of Aizen I believe. The man didn't wear a shirt so it exposed his well-built chest which showed a scar that went from a little below the bottom of his throat to his Hollow hole that resided right in the middle of his toned stomach. He wore a white short jacket with black accents and a collar as the sleeves of his jacket are rolled up below his elbows. Strapped to his waist is a light blue sheath that held a sword with a silver tsuba in the shape of a square-like "S" with blue wrappings. On the right side of his face is a bone of a jaw with sharp teeth. I can tell you one thing is that the images from the wiki that it didn't do any justice to his sexiness. "Jacka**?! You should be watching where you're going you dumba**!" He yelled at me as I jumped up and growled at him and I heard Hichigo also growl with me. The man before me also growled as he got into my face and it turned into a growling contest. "A**hole." I said as he replied with, "Smarta**." Only a few minutes after growling at each other like cats, he backed up and laughed as if I told him the funniest joke.
"I like your spirit girl!" He said with a grin as I raised an eyebrow at him before understanding what he said and laughed with him. "I thought your we're gonna be annoying, but it looks like you earned a little respect from me. I'm the Sexta Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." He introduced himself as I nod with a smile. "I'm Victoria, as I said from before. But please call me Vicki, everybody calls me that. And annoying?" I asked in a "b****, please!" tone. "I'm not a sucker for anyone." Grimmjow seemed to grin at that and Pantera appeared as a transparent figure besides him with a gentle smile. "It seems that my master has taken a liking to you. That's good because many are either on his hate or kill list." He joked with a chuckle and I lightly laughed which caused the now confused panther Espada to raise his sky blue eyebrow at me. "Oh," I laughed as I could imagine Hichigo grin and laugh his casual sadistic laugh. "I have this power to see spirits of the Zanpakutō. Somehow I can see your's and his name is… Pantera, correct?" I said, faking it that I just learned the name of his Zanpakutō.
Grimmjow's eyes widen with shock, which seemed to look like he just go back-slapped in the face. He shock his head and said, "So? Who cares ? Cuz I don't give a-"
"Sis!" I heard a familiar voice say as I was then tackled down by a blur of white and green. "Lilynette!" I said as she released me from her NFL player-crushing hug. "I heard some yelling and I thought you got in trouble! I came as quick as I can!" Lilynette said within a breath and looked at Grimmjow who looked confuzzled(it's a real word look it up if you don't believe me) at the situation. "And it looks like you've met Grimmy!" She said and Grimmjow went from looking like a deer caught in headlights to "I'm-gonna-f***in'-kill-you" glare. "It's not Grimmy!" He said and I laughed. "How about…" I then snapped my fingers and said the most popular nickname for Grimmjow the fans called him. "Grimmkitty!"
"How come?" Lilynette asked and I whisper in her ear, "Because he's a cat and cats are pusses." Her shoulder shook and the she laughed so hard that she started to cry out tears and said, "That was amazing Vicki!" Once again the blue-haired man raised his eyebrow. Lilynette grinned and I immediately regretted telling her that. "Hey, come and get us Grimmpussy!" She shouted and I paled as Grimmjow growled at us and his hand slowly reached for his Zanpakutō and I stood up while backing away as Lilynette continued to tease him. "Uh, Lilynette," I said with worry. "We should get going, like now!" I said as Grimmjow shouted, "I'm going to kill you two!" We both made a mad dash to get away from the now pissed Espada. Lilynette was faster than me and was out of my sight, making me Grimmjow's target. "F***! I'm going to strangle the kid when I find her! That is if I don't get killed first!" I thought as I saw a door. Not giving a single flying f***(because all of them flew away), I opened and closed the door once I entered the room as I backed into a wall in hopes that I'll blend in with it.
I heard footsteps outside, possibly Grimmjow searching for me, as he passed by with a couple of curses and ran to find me. I sighed, relief washing over me as I wasn't being hunted down like prey. Just when I turned around, I met with a disturbing sight of a creature looking like one of those Beelzebub demons from Devil May Cry and I screamed while backing away from the glass filled with green liquid that held the creature. I ended up bumping into something and I backed away from that with a yelp of surprise. "Geez, can you not be quite? If you're hiding from Grimmjow, I suggest that you keep quite." A voice said, sounding familiar to my ears and I look up to see who it was with curiosity killing my fear slightly. The guy looked as tall as Grimmjow, with shoulder length pink hair with bangs on the ride side of his face with amber yellow eyes. He wore a pair of white rectangular glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose, his Hollow mask remnant. The man wore a white turtleneck with black accents with white gloves, a pair of white hakama and a black belt, and the black low heeled boots-shoes whatever they're called.
I concentrated at the fuzziness that seemed to be next to him and it became a transparent figure to my eyes. A lady a little bit shorter than him with pink wavy hair that ended a little below her shoulders with purple tips on the end with bangs much like her master I presumed and matching amber yellow eyes. Like the man she wore a pair of thin white-framed glasses-like visor but without the glass in it. She had a purple upper-lip with purple markings on her left eye as her right had her bangs. The lady wore a white sleeveless coat that ended below her waist with red trimming and a wide purple belt to hold it over a lavender purple turtleneck that had three-layered white bell sleeves with a purple trimming instead of regular sleeves, a white dress-skirt that went pass her ankles and trailed behind her that was also layered with purple trimming too. Under the dress she wore purple flats and lavender high socks. "Hello." She said with a gentle smile, a opposite of her master's psychotic smile.
I gulped before saying back with nervousness, "H-hello…?" The pink-haired man did a half-smile, not a smirk mind you, while he adjusted his glasses with a, "Hello and who you may be little one?" I took a breath to calm my mile-per-second beating heart and stood up while dusting myself off and fixing my tricolored hair. "I'm Vicki. And who're you?" I asked as he chuckled. "I'm the Octava Espada, Szayelaporro Granz." Szayelaporro introduced himself as the woman beside him said, "And I'm his Zanpakutō, Fornicarás(You Will Fornicate/Lewd Concubine)." I nodded my response as I looked around and nearly vomited as there was a hideous odor in the air as well as organs and various things kept in glass tubes much like that demon-like creature. "This is my lab in Las Noches. Lord Aizen allowed me to keep my lab as long as I follow his orders." He explained as my curiosity grew and I walked up to one of the tubes. So Mr. Gay Butterflaizen allowed him to keep his lab, huh?
What I didn't know is that I said "Gay Butterflaizen" out loud and Szayelaporro laughed so hard he clutched on to his stomach. "Hahaha! Do you really think of Lord Aizen that way?" He asked and I snapped back to face him. "What…?" I asked, slightly confused as then his smile faded into a frown. "Miss Vicki, I believe that I have to go. Duty calls so… maybe I'll explain to you about one of my experiments?" He asked before opening the door and I nodded with a smile. "Sure. I do need a little lesson in science." I said as I knew that Science is currently one of my failing subjects that I needed help on ice it's the tests I'm failing at. "Okay then…" Szayelaporro said as he turned to Fornicarás and said, "Can you please lead Vicki around here? I believe she'd be lost unless someone guides her."
"Of course Master." She said and floated next to me from her place next to Szayelaporro. "Follow me." Fornicarás said and the three of us walked out of he room and I frowned, remembering the pink-haired man's fate. "Are you… alright?" Fornicarás asked me, her voice reminding me of Yuna from FFX. I looked at her and looked away with a, "Yeah, just… thinking things." She seemed to see through that lie because she said, "You know of Master's fate, don't you? The fate of all of us." I stopped my tracks and managed to say, "I… do. It's hard to explain, but I can "see" things. Just before I woke up, I saw a man, your master and a few others… dying. I heard screams and shouts for help. I…" I stopped right there as I didn't want to spill anything else. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about his fate." It became dead silent as I felt a hand on my shoulder and turend to see that Fornicarás has materialized so she's no longer transparent with a gentle smile on her face. "It's alright Vicki. My only wish is to see Master again one last time before I can go with you, if that's alright of course?" She asked and I smiled back.
"Of course you can come. The more the merrier." I quoted as Fornicarás smiled at me one last time before fading. "About time you stopped talking to yourself." I heard someone say and I turned to see Starrk standing there. "Oh, hey Starrk." I greeted with my arms crossed behind my head and a grin. "You know Lilynette's been worrying about you so she had to wake me up from my nap." He complained and I giggled. "Well I'm sorry that this happened." I apologized as Starrk yawned with his eyes closed while stretching his arms. "Well, c'mon. " He said and stated walking. "Okay Coyo(pronounced Kai-yo)!" I said and ran up to catch up to him. I had to admit that today was very tiring after meeting my favorite Espada.
Even if I did nearly gotten killed by a very pissed off cat.
