Chapter 1014 Strawberry
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Zack was near a forest and looks around.
"Okay theres something off." He walks foward. "This place has a weird feeling about it, well better find out and-" He then falls off a hill. "Aaaaaaaaah!"
He hits the ground grunting as he holds his head.
"Son of..." Zack grunts.
"Hey."
He opens his eyes and sees a girl with light pink skin, pink eyes and hair with a dress.
"Oh! Thank goodness, I was starting to get worried." She said.
Zack stares at her and she has a sweet scent of baked bread and Strawberries.
Zack tries to get up and she said: "Oh careful there! Here let me you."
She helps him stand and he noticed her dress, it's a cute one with a strawberry theme.
"Thanks... Who are you?" Zack asked.
"Oh! My name is Strawberry, I run a bakery not too far from here." She smiles. "What's your name friend?"
"Uh, Zack. Nice to meet you, did you say your name is Strawberry?" He said.
"Ahaha, yeah! My name is Strawberry, because i'm the Strawberry witch."
Zack got surprised. "A witch? I was going to say you have the same name as another girl called Strawberry."
"Oh you met a girl that's called Strawberry too?" She got surprised.
"Yes, she named herself that since she and her friend Grape want to be fruits." Zack shrugs.
"Oh I see. Golly you must be thirsty, how about we go to my bakery and i'll offer you a drink on the house." She offered.
Zack thinks about it and shrugs. "Why not. Also your a real witch?"
"Oh silly me. You probably don't have witches where your from." She said.
"I'm a Strawberry witch. My magic is centered around strawberries, plants and all things sweet. I use magic to make lovely treats in hopes of making people smile."
"Now that's... Sweet." He said.
She chuckles at the little pun he did.
"Why thank you." She said.
"Well you don't seem to be able to fly." He said.
She blushes a bit. "No... I could make strawberries fly if I try really hard."
"Well anyway shall we see this place." He said.
"Yes." She nodded.
They went foward together as she shows him the way.
Zack follows her and he saw her place, he got surprised since it was made of cake, frosting and strawberries.
It's like that story about the two kids. Zack thinks to himself.
"Ta-dahhh! Here we are! What do you think of the exterior Zack? It took me so long to perfect my magic in order to make everything this cute!" She smiles.
"It's pretty nice, it reminds me of Hansel and Gretel." He said.
"Oh that old story, don't worry I won't eat you." She chuckles. "Well the building was already there, I did the decorating."
"Oh I see, still nice work." He said.
"Thank you." Strawberry was happy.
They went inside and Zack saw the bakery with many strawberry theme treats.
"Oh can I offer you our strawberry milk- Oh oh! Our strawberry lemonade is our favorite!" She offered.
"Oh sure." He said.
She goes to the back to prepare some and he goes to a table to sit.
This place is magical but theres something off that I can't put my finger on it. He thinks to himself.
He'll have to keep a look out for anything.
With Aka
He was training the new recruits as Souichiro and Bob attack him with they're own styles as he blocks each of them with one arm.
"Not bad you two, your getting better and better." Aka smiles.
"Well thanks." Bob said with the two stopping. "Hey I forgot to call Chiaki."
"What your girlfriend." Souichiro said.
"Oh you have a girlfriend, well that's nice." Aka smiles before he senses something. "Wait theres a evil going to happen in the city."
They got surprised to hear that.
At the city
Chiaki Konoike was at a laundromat getting her clothes washed.
A blonde guy wearing glasses sneaks up behind her with a crazy grin.
But then he got kicked away surprising Chiaki as she saw Bob.
"Bob!" She said.
"We need to go." He takes her away.
The blonde guy gets up. "How did they find me?"
"Because of me." He saw Aka there staring down at him.
He grins. "Well your dead. As I am Tsutomu Ryuuzaki of the executive council, I was going to have a piece of that bitch but..." He then summons fire around him. "I'll burn your ass instead!"
He charges at Aka but the saint blows the flames away shocking him. "What?!"
"You call that fire?" Aka then summons his flames as the place around him starts to melt.
Ryuuzaki got shocked seeing that as he felt the heat.
"What... What the Hell are you?!" He got scared.
"My name is Aka the Leo Saint, someone that would never stoop to the level that someone like you would, as I am a true warrior."
He lifts a hand up and flicks his fingers making a blast of flames going towards him as Ryuuzaki screams getting hit.
He got knocked out from the extreme pain and looks down at him.
"Let this be a lesson to never mess with our group." Aka said.
Maya was behind him and said: "Well you managed to defeat him with just a flick of your fingers."
"He was a weakling but we'll have to get ready." Aka said.
"Yeah, so let's go." Maya said.
She then shows off her adult size and he smiles while she takes his arm.
They walked foward together and while Maya might have liked Souichiro at one point Aka was her real dream guy she won't mind to have.
Note: Zack meet Strawberry from Berrywitched and Aka fought Tsutomu Ryuuzaki and one shoted him, since he's the weakest fire user Aka has ever faced so this was a stomp as Aka's mother was stronger.
