Bleach: Cherry blossom (fan fiction)

Chapter 4: Start of the Holy War...

Atsuko's Pov

No... I've felt this reiatsu before. It has to be.. a QUINCY! Damn... I thought they were long gone like Old man said. I was alive at the time when Quincies were all alive and cheerful. They got along so well. Especially with Ping and I.

200 years ago...

"Whoa! Atsuko-san, you look young at that age! Haha..." I was younger than everyone in the Gotei 13, it's funny because Yachiru is a lot older than me, but shorter and looks a lot younger. "Ping! You're a quincy. You probably are a WHOLE LOT older than me." I was naive.. but rather intelligent. "Haha! Atsuko-san, why don't we go get some ice cream with some of my quincy friends, 'kay?" I nodded and we skipped to the ice cream place called, Freezy Deluxe. I looked around for her so called quincy friends. Their reiatsu actually. "Atsuko-san, don't worry. I know where they are so, don't go searching for their reiatsu, ok?" I frowned, but nodded. "Strawberry and Vanilla, please?" The man scooped the scooper into the ice cream containers and place them on waffle flavor cones. He handed them to us and said it was free today. I just went along with it back then, but I should have noticed something was up. Ping lead me to a table full of people.. weird looking people. "Atsuko! These are my quincy friends... they'll introduce themselves." I smiled and gave a little wave. "Hello! I'm Kiyomi, Atsuko. From the Kiyomi Household."

Introducing Characters:

1. "Yo! I'm Asukin, Nakkuruvaru. Nice to meet ya." Male Quincy.

2. "Hello, I'm Banbietta, Basutabain." Female Quincy.

3. "I'm Dorisukõru, Beruchi..." Male Quincy.

4. "Bazubi! Call me Bazz-B!" Male Quincy.

5. "Hi! I'm BG9 aka... Rirutotto Ranpado." Female Quincy.

6. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Tsan, Tu." Male Quincy.

7. "Shazu, Domino..." Male Quincy.

I looked at Ping. "Th- um.. What?!" She looked at me. "Oh! My name isn't really "Ping", it's...."

Ichigo's Pov

It took some time, but I actually made it in time to save that girl. There was just one hollow and already she's badly injured. I slashed it in half and it dissolved away to tiny bits. "Are you the one taking over for Imoyama-san? You better get in gear and be more of help than him or else you'll become useless." She glanced a look at me. Half of her body was mostly bleeding. "Wh- Who are you?" I had my back towards her, so I don't think she saw me smirk. "Kurosaki, Ichigo... Shinigami Representative aka. Substitute Shinigami."

Hiyori's Pov

"Haaaaaaha! Yay! We had such a nice relaxing bath so early in the afternoon." No one replied. I had a towel wrapping my wet hair. "....... HEY! HOW COME NO REPLIED?!" Lisa looked at me irradiatedly. "If you mean Love, then he went to go buy junk and coffee milk."

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU REPLY, LISA?! I DON'T HAVE A KEY, COME HERE AND OPEN THE DOOR!"

"Hachi has the key."

"WHERE IS HACHI?!" I was loosing it.

"He went to the cafe because he was hot."

"YOU'RE GOING TO BE HOT IF YOU FREAKING WEAR A SUIT TO GO TO A PUBLIC POOL, IDIOT!" My nose scrunched up.... I can smell shinigami?! Ssssh! A split appeared and it opened. "... what's that?" I stared at it.

Ichigo's Pov

"Aaah.. Sorry! I wasn't listening!" The girl got up from sleeping and was drooling. "I didn't say anything." She froze in confusion.. idiot. "Now that you're awake you can leave."

"WHAT?" she whined. By the time I knew it, the door busted open. Inoue was all cheery and held a plate of.. I think cookies in front of her. "KUROSKAI-KUUUN! I finished baking cookies. Oh, you're finally up." Ishida and Chad came barging in behind Inoue. I flinch in amazement because Ishida mostly never comes inside my room.

"Kurosaki.. Why don't you taste some of the cookies "I" made?" Ishida asks suspiciously.

"... You made them?" I shot back.

"No! Uryu didn't make them! I made them!" Inoue corrects.

Chad grunts and carefully picks up a cookie. He slowly lifts it to his mouth and bites it down softly. ".... In-Inoue... what did you put in th-" Chad blacks out before finishing his sentence. "SADO!!" Ishida and I shout at the same time. The girl who was injured starts to laugh and smile brightly. "Haha.. you guys are funny!" she snorts.

Then.. after a couple of seconds, she stops laughing and sighs. "I- I wish I met people like you before.." she starts to fade away. "Kurosaki, Ichigo. Orihime, Inoue. Uryu, Ishida. Sado. Thank you for my last moment." The girl dissolves to tiny shards and there's nothing left, except her sword. Everybody stares in the direction she disappeared. "What was her name?" Inoue asks out of all questions.

I turn back to answer her question, and Ishida was no where to be seen. I smirked and just ignored it. Probably shouldn't have done that...

Atsuko's Pov (Soul Society)

I knew it! Cheriaya's here with Ping! "Yosh! Now.. now I can finally finish our fight, Ping. Just you wait!" I hollered before flashstepping towards their reiatsu. I arrive at Division 13 and I peek inside. "Excuse me.." I peeped out. I tiptoed to my office and grabbed my zanpakuto.

Me in my thoughts: Riko, do you feel it?

Riko: Yes. It is definitely Ping and Cheriaya, and also Milora and Benji. (Milora is Cheriaya's zanpakuto and Benji is Ping's zanpakuto)

Me: Hm... How do I get towards their destination, the fastest way?

Riko: Sheath me into my human form and I'll fly you there with my cherry blossoms.

Me: Okay.. whatever you say, Riko.

I inhale and chant out random words, "R€l€AS€! Chi sayu Onigisu kimi rena bokura!" I felt Riko turning form and then.. a bright light blinds my eyes. I try to remain still, but my body was shaking.. I felt light.

"Master.. I am Misaki, Riko. I am also known as the Empress of Blossoms. I have chosen you as the child of cherry blossoms to eliminate all evil sorces. Once you have exceeded, you will be forgiven for the crime you had done to your family. Of course, my brother will also be punished for lending you his powers, but forgiven," Riko whispers inside my head.

"Riko, tell me. Why did I kill them?" I mumbled, "Why?" Riko reaches out towards me and embrace me into her warm chest.

"Child.. you were nothing but a child. Now, you've grown and become a truly wonderful woman. If only I wasn't a zanpakuto, I would've taken you as my child," She cries. I couldn't hug her back. I just stood there... crying.

Like that day, of where I killed them. I was also crying like this... I remember now.

I know why I killed them... it was because they never... loved me.
