The Black Shinigami : A Bleach Fanfiction ~Editing~

Chapter 5: New Friends and Ice Cream

School was... Long, and boring. I wanted to scream, "KILL ME NOW," at the top of my lungs. Then again it is school.

At lunch, I had actually skipped, not really hungry. Instead I went to the gym, and sat on the floor and looked up at the dimming lights.

After school, I meet Orihime outside by the gates. She waved me over and i saw Ichigo, Rukia, a very thin man that looking kinda nerdy, and a very large man that looked... Intimidating...

"Ayama, this is Chad," Orihime said, introducing me to the large man, " and this is Uryū." Uryū was the thin man, and he was a Quincy, I can tell.

I don't really know what I didn't notice yesterday. I don't really mind, I have nothing against the Quincy's. They have their own beliefs and abilities, and I respect that.

I smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you both."

"Hey, Ayama, why didn't you sit with us at lunch today?" Orihime asked, as we started walking.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Orihime. I sometimes don't feel like eating. So I went and hid in the gym," I replied.

"Come sit with us from now on," said Ichigo. That surprised me, and I didn't expect him to answer.

I looked up at him, blinking. "Mmm'kay."

"No need to be shy Ayama," Rukia said.

I laughed, "I wasn't, I just preferred to be left alone today. Besides, I knew I would see you guys after school today."

"True," Orihime said, "but why did you wish to be alone today?"

"I just have my moments." I shrugged, and pulled a black beanie out of my bag and put it on.

"Hey, Ayama," Rukia said.

"Yes?"

"You should play the piano for us sometime," Rukia said.

I nearly stopped in my tracks, "I don't really know, I'm not really good..."

Orihime's face lit up, "I didn't know you played piano!"

"Piano is cool," Chad said.

"I heard you play, you play fantastically. The best I ever heard," Rukia said.

I smiled, "Maybe if it isn't too late when we get back from the ice cream parlor, we can go to my place. I'll play, I suppose."

"I can't wait to hear it, I bet you sound fantastic!" Orihime said.

I laughed, as I opened the door to the ice cream parlor to let everyone in. We took our sits and a waiter took our orders.

"So, Miss Reaper, I believe you have some explaining to do," Uryū said, pushing up his glasses.

"Alright. Let me start with this. Orihime, you asked me yesterday if I was a shinigami. My answer was yes and no. You see, Shinigami like Rukia are trained and created by a higher Shinigami, Death himself," I stated.

"So, Death is an actually person?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes, he is the King of Soul Society. I am his daughter. My real name is Grimm Reaper the second. I only go by Ayama so my name doesn't draw any unwanted attention," I replied.

"Your the daughter of Death? And if he is the King of Soul Society wouldn't that make you the Princess?" Orihime asked.

"Yes, I am technically a princess. Since Death is the highest Shinigami, he is more powerful than any Shinigami like Rukia. So I know more techniques, and have more abilities," I answered.

"Interesting," said Uryū, as our orders were delivered to use. I put the small spoon of ice cream in my mouth and hmmed in happiness.

"So techniques drain me," I said.

"Like yesterday, when you fell from the sky, or when you collapsed after defeating the Menos," said Ichigo.

"Exactly."

"So, Ayama, if your a princess, why are you here?" Uryū asked.

I pointed my spoon at him, "Good question." I took another bite of ice cream. "Well, I came here to relax, but my father has a different agenda. I may not know exactly what that is, however, I know it's nothing bad."

We finished our ice cream, as I payed and left a tip. We left and Rukia threw her arm around my shoulder.

"It's only 4, Ayama, I guess we are going to your place," Rukia teased.

I laughed, "Persistent aren't you?"

"You bet!" Rukia said as she removed her arm from around my shoulder.

"So what are you gonna play for us?" Orihime asked.

"I'll play the hardest song I can play. It's actually my favorite, it's a pieced called 'Descend into Madness,'" I said.

"That sounds ... Dark..." Orihime said.

"It kinda is, however, it's a very hard song to play. It's very fast," I replied.

"Dark and spooky piano girl," Ichigo muttered. I turned on my heel, and pointed in his face. He looked taken back.

"I HEARD THAT!" I yelled. I ran a hair though my orange hair, and breathed out. "Sorry I have a tempter. Anyway, we're here," I said.

I unlocked the door, and motioned them to come on in. "Come on, don't be shy," I said.

They entered, and I closed the door behind them. I smiled and I pointed to the couch. "Sit, I'll play," I said with a smile.

They all say down on the very large couch, and I sat on the piano bench. I didn't need sheet music for this song, I know it by heart. I felt there eyes on me, as my fingers gently ran over the keys. I took a few deep breathes, and began to play.

They song always starts dark, and then goes fast. I made no mistakes, and relaxed. I almost forgot how free I felt when playing this song.

My fingers moved quickly, and my breath steady and calm. I played with my very soul, and felt more alive then every as the song began to slow.

It speed back up, and my eyes half lidded to see the keys and my hands. My mind seemed to elsewhere as I played.

Then, just like that, the song was over. I breathed out, and looked up. I smiled as I saw there shocked faces.

I was confused, "What?"

"That was simply amazing," Orihime said, "dark but amazing."

"I didn't know anyone could play like that," Rukia said.

"Piano isn't really my thing, but that's cool," Ichigo said.

"Thank you," I said with a smile.

"You're not even breaking a sweat. How?" Orihime asked.

I laughed, "Lots and lots of practice."

We sat and talked for an hour or two. It felt nice, it felt normal. I enjoyed it. Sadly, it was getting late, and everyone had to go to school tomorrow.

Ichigo was the last to leave, he ruffled my hair a small smile on his face as he was heading at the door. "Eat with us at lunch tomorrow, ok, creepy piano girl?"

I blinked, and then replied, "Okay." Then, he was gone, leaving me very confused. "What now?" I thought.
