That Time (Bleach Love Story)

Chapter 9

"Well, well. Already talking to the human?" The person who picked me up said.

This was another captain. He is a tall, muscular man with a wild and aggressive appearance, which fits him. He has a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and pronounced, hairless eyebrow ridges. He has green eyes and long, stringy black hair. A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down the left side of his face,

"Captain, Zaraki. We merely bumped into each other by accident." Jushiro said.

"I overheard your little conversation. Blossom Hitomawa, to have such a very threatening spiritual pressure.. you could be a very strong opponent." Zaraki smirked.

"Sorry, Captain Zaraki. I don't really fight." I told him.

He frowned and put me down. "It's Kenpachi. You can call me by that. Hn? Where's Byakuya? Shouldn't he be watching you?"

I looked up to think. "Oh! You mean guard dog?" I asked.

Kenpachi and Jushiro stared at me, both their eyes widened.  But, I then noticed they weren't looking at me. But behind me. I slowly turned around to see Byakuya glaring at me.

"Guard dog, you found me! I-" Byakuya smacked the back of my head really hard.

"Byakuya!" Jushiro said, he was about to help me but stopped.

I rubbed the back of my head. "Ow... That really hurt, Byakuya..." I pout.

"Let's go." Byakuya said, his voice was calm.

I followed and waved bye to Kenpachi and Jushiro.

Kenpachi crossed his arms as we left. "Strange, huh?"

"The fact that Byakuya didn't scold her? Or even killed her for that insult?" Jushiro asked.

"Yeah. But, what's stranger is her reaction when she turned to see Captan Sousuke. I was paying attention actually. She was shocked when she saw him. Have they met before you think?" Kenpachi asked.

Jushiro shrugged and coughed a bit.

Byakuya stopped in front of a door and opened it. "This is my room. You can stay here with me, until you are able to control your spiritual pressure."

I stared at his room, so plain and dull. I walked in and looked around.

"I don't get it. Why is it so important that I should learn to control my spiritual pressure?" I asked.

Byakuya walked in as well and closed the door. "While searching for Rukia in the world of the living. A horde of Hollows appeared. This happened a few months ago as well, not far from Karakura Town."

"Few months ago ? I barely discovered this when you took me." I told him.

Byakuya stared at me, his face was really serious. "You weren't aware yet. The day this first happened, I was in the world of the living as well. It was raining. Hollows appeared and were all headed towards one direction. After I eliminated these hollows, I sensed what they were after. It was a human."

I crossed my arms and shrugged. "Could be someone else. Apperantly, my spiritual pressure happens when I get really angry."

"Also, when you grieve." Byakuya added.

I looked at him. "Grieve? What do you mean?"

"The day that Hollow attack happened, the human who released that heavy spiritual pressure. Was you. In that rain you were grieving over a human's death." He said.

My eyes widened and I glared at him. "So, you were there when my friend died?" I asked.

He simply nodded and walked to his desk.

I wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

I sat down in the corner of the room.

 He didn't really have to mention Grimmjow's death again, but I just had to be a loudmouth and ask. I wanted to leave and get away from here.

Ichigo... Please hurry and save Rukia and me...
