Thinking
Soul Society – Chapter 3
Ichigo raced threw the dark tunnel fighting his instincts that were raging at him about how he needed to protect his ‘pack’…according to them they were practically naked without his reiatsu and now that they were having to deal with the Kototsu chasing them. He wanted to kill it, something that he couldn’t do according to Yoruichi…but apparently his inner hunter disagreed and was snapping and snarling at him in anger at his lack of attention to the others.
Orihime raced behind the others her eyes constantly shifting to look behind her. Her feet felt lighter then she had ever felt them and she knew that if she wanted she could race along side Ichigo with no problem. The new reiatsu within her that had at first felt foreign and odd was slowly blending with her own natural and the two were shifting together.
She could feel it changing more then her reiatsu, it was an odd feeling. It wasn’t like it was making her loose who she was, but more like it was taking traits she hadn’t know she had and enhancing them making them stronger. For example she had always been caring, but now she knew that she would make anyone who hurt those she cared about pay. Before she would have been upset but would have hesitated on what to do, but now she knew there would be no hesitation any who came against her pack would face her wrath.
It was odd thinking of her friends like that, she wondered if it was as odd for Ichigo-kun? Ichigo-kun was another odd point, she would be lying to herself if she didn’t admit that she had a crush on him for the longest time. But now he was so much more then just her friend and crush. He was the leader, the one who would take care of the pack. He was the alpha male, and for now she was the alpha female.
She wasn’t sure how she would react when Rukia was brought back into the group. Would she feel the need to fight for her place? She honestly wasn’t sure, and that worried her just a bit…but for now she had other things to worry about…like the Kototsu behind them. She knew that any wrong step could send any one of her pack mates danger, and that was why she was brining up the rear instead of racing beside her alpha.
She would guard the rear, as the other members of their pack were weak and unguarded. She would not allow them to fall behind, already Ishada was lagging be hind the walls around them seemed more alive then they should. “You okay Uryu-kun?” the bubbly girl asked with a smile on her face.
Ishada glanced at the girl he was now running beside, he wasn’t happy with her bringing up the rear of the group. Even if the more over protective Kurosaki seemed to not notice, no that didn’t make since he had to have noticed he simply didn’t show any reaction. “I’m fine Orihime-chan, you should go up alongside Sado-kun.” The raven haired male said adjusting his glasses.
Orihime smiled to herself, he was trying to protect her. That pleased the new side of her she was just getting used to…but…”Its fine Uryu-kun, right now this is my place if I went anywhere else I wouldn’t feel comfortable.” She said with a bright smile.
Ishada frowned at her reply “I don’t understand, why would you not feel comfortable?” he asked confusion evident in his voice.
Orihime chuckled under her breath and said “I think it has to do with Ichigo’s reiatsu blending with mine. I feel like this is were I belong right now.”
Ishada scowled at Ichigo’s back, this was his fault. He knew it was a bad idea to just allow the reiatsu of a hollow, and that’s what it was regardless of the fancy name they gave it, to mingle with Orihime’s own. Now she felt like she didn’t deserve to be anywhere but in the back of the group!
Orihime blinked as Ishada’s face took on a red tint and he put on a burst of speed to catch up with Ichigo. Oh dear…I hope he doesn’t get into a fight with our alpha…this is not the right place for a dominance battle… She thought to herself frowning as she continued to race along…now if only she could figure out what a dominance battle was???
Ichigo hissed as he continued to fight his raging…well he supposed that calling it a hunter would be appropriate…what ever it was it was mad as hell at him, he had two unbounded pack mates. While his bonded mate was guarding the rear, and thus protecting the unbounded one’s from this place his hunter still insisted that their reiatsu should be washing the other two encouraging them to accept bonding.
He was brought out of his inner struggle when Ishada finally made his way along side the orange haired youth. He couldn’t stop himself from snarling at the raven haired boy as he snapped out “Get back in line Uryu!” his voice gruff with restraint.
Ishada frowned and said “You are not my boss shinigami! Or should I call you a hunter? Or better yet a hollow! That’s all you are! Look at what you’ve done! Are you proud that Orihime now feels like she can’t be anywhere but the rear of the group? How has this bonding helped her!”
Ichigo growled as his inner hunter became quite at the words of the other. He swung bright gold eyes to face Ishada’s own steel blue and barring his teeth growled again before he could pull himself in, they could fight later there was no time for that now. “She’s taking the position of second guard you fool, only the second strongest of the pack holds that place so shut the hell up!” he growled out before swinging his gaze back to the light shining at the end of the tunnel that was growing ever closer.
Uryu froze mid step in shock as his brain tried to process this information. He blinked as he found himself being slung over Sado’s shoulder when he failed to move for too long. “Hey! Put me down! I can walk on my own!” the now blushing boy exclaimed in embarrassment.
“No time…” was Chad’s calm response never missing a step even with his added burden.
Orihime smiled softly too herself, it was good that Chad had reacted so fast…she wasn’t sure what she would have done if Uryu was still in the same spot when she reached him. It was also nice that the other members of their pack were so close, she hoped they could grow even closer. They would need that closeness in the coming battles, Rukia’s life depended on their strength.
Ichigo let out a sigh as he crossed over the threshold that led out of the tunnel and into the heart of Soul Society. At least…it was supposed to lead them to the heart of the Soul Society…instead he felt his eye twitch as he stared down at the village sprawled out…below him….”FUCKKKKKK!” he growled as he began to fall towards the ground various yells echoing from behind him as the others emerged from the tunnel.
Snarling he flipped feet over head before narrowing his eyes at the two members of his pack that were unprotected, and released the reiatsu that had been building up over the last four minuets causing a blinding flash to light up the already bright sky temporarily blinding anyone who might be looking.
Uryu wasn’t paying attention to anything other then the ground rapidly rushing up towards them when the flash of reiatsu hit. His eyes snapped shut on reflex to protect them from the bright light even as he felt the reiatsu catch him from were he had fallen from Sado’s grip upon the sudden drop.
The reiatsu shifted around him sending shivers up and down his spine as it wound around him. He shuddered at the feel of the reiatsu a biting his bottom lip to keep from make a sound before the reiatsu relented and pulled back to what the raven haired boy had become used to in the past few hours.
Sado himself was caught up in the reiatsu with a unexpected grunt. He panted as the reiatsu rubbed up and down his back almost in a soothing way. Even as it sent unexpected shivers racing south for him. Still panting he cracked open his eyes as he climbed to his feet somewhat unsteadily from were he’d been placed on the ground.
Blinking unsteadily Ishada focused on were Ichigo had landed as if he hadn’t just fallen a good fifty plus feet. Scowling he opened his mouth to yell at the shinigami before his blue eyes widened. “ORIHIME!” he finally managed to get out as he watched the girl speed toward the ground.
With a bright smile she flipped and landed gracefully on her toes, with Yoruichi landing just as gracefully on her head. “Hai Ishada-kun?” she asked brightly.
Ishada shook his head gulping at the rapid changes that were already so visible after the girl had bound herself to Ichigo…it was mind blowing…and scary, if this was only the first of the changes then would she still be herself? What if she changed so completely they couldn’t recognize her?...
Ichigo was meanwhile having an inner struggle, he hadn’t thought his reiatsu would change Orihime so much, but he could tell it was…hell he could feel it changing her. Subtle changes for the most part, muscles shifting and strengthening in ways that would normally take years of harsh training to accomplish, eye sight, hearing, smell, and touch were all sharpening. He could feel how thrilled she was at how much more vibrant things were becoming.
And that was another thing, he could feel her feelings. It was kind of like they were connected by wires and those wires relayed things from her to him constantly. It should have been confusing, it wasn’t. He could separate her from him with no trouble at all…and while he could feel her she couldn’t feel him. Of that he was sure too…he even knew what he needed to do to send her his…his what? Feelings? Thoughts? He wasn’t sure…it was confusing to say the least.
He was brought out of his reserve by Uryu suddenly asking “Were is everyone?” as he adjusted his glasses and scanned the area. It was littered with rundown buildings, and shacks the streets were empty save the dust kicked up by the landing of the group.
Ichigo frowned as he ran his own narrowed gaze around the area. He could feel the pulsing reiatsu of the residents even if he couldn’t see them. “They are here…just not here…are you sure this is the Soul Society?” he mumbled frowning to himself.
“I wonder why? Why would anyone hide when there’s a sudden burst of reiatsu that isn’t like anything they’ve ever encounter?” Yoruichi said with snort before running yellow eyes narrowly over the group.
“No we are definitely in Soul Society, more specify the Rukon district.” the black cat added twitching long whiskers in agitation.
As Yoruichi began to elaborate on the structure of Soul Society Ichigo narrowed his eyes on the section were the rough dirt roads turned into pristine paved stone. Without saying anything he shot off towards the area his gaze narrowed.
Yoruichi stopped mid word to yell angrily “Stop! You can’t just run up to the gate! You’ll be killed!”
Ichigo blinked before vaulting backwards on his next step even as a giant wall came crashing down from the sky kicking up a cloud of dust. As he shook his head to keep the dust from his eyes he hissed as a voice spoke from over him.
“Well well, its been a long time since anyone tried to pass threw the spirit gates without a travel permit, and I don’t get many guests these days.” The voice said drawing all eyes to the giant of a man standing before them. “So welcome to you little man.” The man added looking down the bridge of his nose at Ichigo.
Without warning the man swung an ax that was bigger then Ichigo down causing a small crater and kicking up dust. “Whenever your ready give it all you’ve got, and good luck.” The giant of a man said with a smirk.
“That is Jidanbo, the guard of this gate chosen from the very best.” Yoruichi supplied as everyone stared a the large man.
“And how exactly are we supposed to defeat someone like that?” Uryu asked with a scowl.
“With cunning and skill, first we must decide on a strategy, Ichigo…” Yoruichi called out only to stop mid sentence as Ichigo cracked his neck one way and then another and his reiatsu pulsed around Chad and Uryu almost as if keeping them back. Orihime ran narrowed eyes over the giant standing firmly beside the two unclaimed males.
Ichigo let his narrowed gaze roll up to meet Jidanbo’s his lips lifting a bit even as the giant swung his as towards the orange haired shinigami substitute.
The End.
Oo I feel kind of mean eanding it here after so long…as an apologie I’ll add a bit of an excert of a future scean below…hehe hopefully it won’t be that long before my next update.
Japanese Translations:
Hai – yes
Bleach Terms (from the wiki):
Kototsu – the Dangai's equivalent to a street sweeper. The Kototsu appears once every seven days to cleanse the area - killing anyone and everything that makes contact with it - to assure that no one can loiter and take advantage of the time distortion
Dangai - an isolated space which is surrounded by numerous stacked-up layers of time's current, can be used to journey to and from Soul Society (I put this one here because I mention it in the Kototsu description…I didn’t call it that in my storry…just the dark tunnel…’giggles’)
Extra as apology:
Ishada sighed as he let the hot water run over him. Today had to have been the craziest day ever…all he wanted to do was finish his shower then go get some much needed rest.
A shiver ran down his back and he placed his palms against the tiled shower wall bracing himself with a sigh.
End Extra…not much but…it does make one wonder…’giggles’
Please leave me a review I’d love to hear from you guys/gals, flames will be ignored.
