Bleach: Fall and Rise

106: Reunion prt2

Adrian's POV

Scratching the back of my head I grumbled, the workday is over and I want to go out, have a drink and relax but I have no idea where my friends are going to hang out when they're done in their respective divisions, I guess I'll have to find out" hey! You're the new guy right?" I looked over to see a busty ginger who asked cheerily.

"Yeah, I'm Adrian Pavlova, do you know where my friends go to hang out after work?" I asked" usually they go to Shoguns Palace with us or one of the bars close by, once to a seedy place on the edge of the Sereitei? want to come with me, my name is Rangiku Matsumoto." She said," sure, lead the way." I said, she grinned and we left.

30 minutes later we walked into Shoguns, the place looked high end where only the captains and vice-captains go to hang out, it makes me feel like I'm severely underdressed and really under ranked to be here when I saw my friends and several others hanging out at 3 tables beside each other" hey guys! Look who I brought!" Rangiku called, the other 13 turned to see me walking over to him.

"Hey! It's good to see you again." Renji said," those last 3 years felt like an eternity, only my 4th and 5th years went by quickly with Toshiro." I said and over the next half hour we talked about Toshiro and Byakuya before 2 11th division members walked up to our table and introduced themselves to be Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa and I introduced myself.

"So how did you guys meet?" Yumichika asked" I was bullied on my first day at the academy before Hasine dragged them away and told them to leave me alone and 2 weeks later I met them and we became friends, 7 of them were their 6th year, Jun, Jack, and Aaron were in there 5th year and Adelaida and Capri were in there 4th year...I'm guessing you heard about Jun's horror story?" I said.

"We did after Zaraki came back from the school after questioning her on the beatings and it was utterly horrifying, what was up with them treating you like the worst scum imaginable?" Ikkaku asked," they found me in the thug-ridden districts 2 years after I had arrived and I was treated like a punching back for 2 years before I ran away. 

In that decade I met 4 girls and we became friends and we traveled around to avoid my parents but they were like bloodhounds and you know what happens at the end of that." Jun said gulping down a lump in her throat and looked over to Hasine then jumped when she slammed the table.

"We heard her screams and I gave them a piece of my mind and dragged them to the headmaster's office to confess which they did, after that it got better for her, she's taking yearly trips to district 6 where Jack and Aaron were living before they came to the academy for therapy with one of there friends." She explained," it makes me sick," Ikkaku said gripping the glass tightly.

"I did hear a little bit of the story from what other kids were saying in gossip," I said quietly" they received a death sentence for the crimes they committed, Zaraki wanted to tear them apart as soon as it started, same with Yachiru." Ikkaku said softly" can we change the subject please, I don't want to know the details." Jun said and we did.
