Love me tender

A village called Blackcliff

《Y/n POV》

Being able to wake up in peace was the highlight of the protection spell on my room. If I didn't need to eat, I would constantly stay there. Even though I may have my every wish tended to it doesn't compare with the freedom I used to have. I am however excited because Ichigo said he had found a town about two miles from here and we had all decided to make our way there for supplies and information of course. Ichigo had said the town was called Blackcliff on account of the large cliff that loomed over the edge of the village. Senri had been bothering him ever since he found out.

"Dude! You asked me that like three times! I told you I didn't stay there long enough to get any valuable information, besides the Village name." Ichigo snapped as he passed my room. Today Ichigo was planning on taking me, Travis, and Tatsuki to the village. Tatsuki had been relentlessly studying the folklore of Incubuses when he wasn't busy being his usual flirty self. He was able to gain ahold of his powers almost immediately. He had progressed the most next to Senri on controlling their abilities. When I was finished packing a small bag full of water and snacks, I met the others by the front door. "Are we ready? How do I look princess?" Tatsuki asked giving a small twirl. 

His horns and tail were both gone and the only thing that remained were those glimmering golden eyes. "Um you look like you for the most part." I said sheepishly. "Oh just you wait princess. A tail and horns aren't the only thing that I've discovered about myself." His face had turned into a cocky grin as he looped arms with mine and began to frog march out the door. Travis and Ichigo following behind. I didn't notice them look at one another and roll their eyes. "You're and idiot Tatsu. I'm the leader here so get out of the way." Ichigo snapped pushing us apart and walking in front of us. I looked back to see Senri and Zen waving goodbye. I chuckled a little due to Senri having a pouty look on his face. He looked like a child who had been denied candy. 

I gave a small wave bye, and we began to make our way toward the village. "So how long is this going to take?" Tatsuki asked. "It's like a thirty-minute walk. So, keep up ladies it looks like it's going to rain here in a few hours." Ichigo had said with a stretch. "So, Ichigo what do you know about the place we are headed?" I asked walking faster to catch up to him. "It's like I told Senri, it's a relatively small place. It looks like Skyrim honestly. Just, less depressing and grey." Ichigo said. "Are the people friendly?" Travis asked piping up. Ichigo shrugged but nodded, nonetheless. "From what I've seen yeah. I was able to take a quick look at some of the shops they have too." Tatsuki squealed with excitement after hearing that. "Oh yay! Let's go window shopping! We've got to look at everything." 

Ichigo flicked Tatsuki in the face. "Hold it right there your highness. Our money is no good here and you don't know the definition of window shopping." He snapped. Tatsuki rubbed his forehead before pouting. "You're lucky Senri and I went hunting last night. I've got some meat we can sell." Ichigo finished confidently. "So that's why your bag is so big. Isn't that heavy though?" I asked poking the bag. "Not to me. That's why I'm carrying it I am the strongest after all." He smirked confidently. "You're not that strong Rapunzel." Tatsuki joked. "What have I said about calling me that. I think I look good with a wolfcut. This isn't grade school anymore you prick." Ichigo snapped as Tatsuki laughed. "Rapunzel? Damn dude how long was your hair back then? And to think I thought it was long before you cut it." Travis said smirking. "He never talks about it because he thinks it's "Emasculating"." Tatsuki said making air quotes. "He used to wear a beanie all the time before he started to let his hair down." Tatsuki flipped his blonde hair making a silly pose.

Travis and I couldn't help but laugh. "One more word on my hair and you'll be the meat I'm selling instead." Tatsuki squeaked and ran behind me. "Protect me princess! I have so much to live for!" I rolled my eyes before looking back at him. "If I'm your princess, shouldn't I be the one in need of protection?" I asked. "Good point but you aren't going to be turned into produce." He whispered in my ear. "Oh, please his bark is worse than his bite." I said shrugging his hands off my shoulders. "Tch I'd beg to differ woman. You don't know what I'm capable of." Ichigo snapped.
