Hanataro x reader (Bleach Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

You flash stepped to the reaper on the ground, taking his body and moving him out of harm's way. When you had turned back the masked monster was was nowhere in sight. Your gaze hardened surveying your surroundings. "Where are you freaking pest!!!" you seethed angrily.

The presence of other reapers appearing behind you caught your attention.

"(Y/N)." the monotone voice of your captain spoke. You turned seeing him accompanied by Renji, Ukitake, Soi fon and Rukia.

"Don't run off like that again are you trying to get killed!!" Renji barked, you merely glanced at him turning back. 

"Hanataro is in trouble, I have to protect him." 

Renji halted. Very rarely you wore an expression so serious. He turned drawing his sword.

"We're not alone." Soi fon informed.

As if on cue five other hollows appeared. Everyone squared off taking one hollow to spar. Your fist clenched your zampaktou tighter bracing against the same hollow from before. It's hands were pushing you back as you tried to ground your feet.

"Gonna cry again reaper." It taunted forcing you back. You glared matching it's strength.

"Just like that reaper I ate." It grinned at you, dark eyes narrowing "He was a bit scrawny, but he tasted delicious."  You eyes widened in shock. 

"W-What...."

"You were to late reaper, that blue haired one didn't even last a second."

"N-No....." your blade lowered causing the hollow's grin to widen. It shot forward sinking it's teeth into your shoulder. You grunted, skating back a few feet. Still stunned your body didn't seem to really process the pain.

"I-It can't be.... Hanataro is...."

"(Y/N)!!!!!" Renji's voice yelled in fear.

 Your eyes were dull as the world felt like it was slowing down. You could see the panicked look off your friends in the distance as blood squirted from your shoulder. The hollow cackled, it's eyes glinting. "Your mine reaper!"

Your pupils filled with rage as you looked the hollow directly in its eyes. It flinched as the air picked up around your body, energy crackling as your grip became firm against your sword. 

"I-Impossible!!" the hollow gazed in terror, retracting it's teeth from your shoulder it jumped back.

The wind tossed your robes around roughly as you gritted your teeth. 

"BAN..KAI!!!" 

The sound of thunder erupted, a huge blast of lightning breaking from the sky hitting the ground harshly as the earth below you raised.  Your shihakusho changed, getting a few inches shorter as the end turned ragged, yellow shocks bouncing off your clothing.

 The captains stared in disbelief at the heavy release of reiatsu that swept the entire area. Rukia staggered slightly, flash stepping above into the air to avoid the rocks that crumbled below her feet. "H-How is she able to use bankai..." Rukia stared barely believing her eyes. All the other hollows in the general area had been struck with stray bolts fading on the spot. Electricity prickled off your skin crackling in the air.

"THIS IS FOR HANATARO!!!" you roared.

You swung your sword vertically as a bolt shot out slicing the hollow in half. It tried to evade, body getting sucked towards the bright glow. Crying out one last time it dissipated in the air. The bolt hadn't stopped there. The attack went straight through the line of trees ahead, cutting them right off their roots.

"No...way.." Renji stood stunned watching your figure from behind. Bankai was a technique that took years to master, even longer to perform. Yet you had done it...

You were panting heavily, eyes still sharp.

"H-He's g-gone..."  screaming into the air, tears ran profusely down your cheeks. 

Slowly your reiatsu started to lower, Bankai releasing as your robes reverted back to normal.

Ukitake and the others landed on the ground that was now partially in ruins from your outbreak. When you finally came to your senses you fell to your knees.

"Hana....taro.." your lips quivered. The other reapers stared at you with pained expressions. 

No amount of comforting was going to ease your pain.

"HANATARO!!!" you cried out. Your eyes were shut head towards the sky as you continued to bawl your lungs out.

Renji walked towards your devastated form placing a hand on your shoulder, his head bent to the ground at your grief. When you couldn't scream anymore sobs left your lips. You wept defeatedly, fist clenched as you punched the earth below. "I never got to tell him...how I felt..."

 "I was supposed to protect him....why didn't I save him..." you whispered.

"You did..." a voice spoke in the distance. You looked up slowly, eyes moving to the figure that stood a few feet away. Everyone gaped at the medical reaper. His clothing was disheveled, blue hair in disarray and a couple bruises on his face. Three other medical reapers walked hesitantly from behind him, relieved expressions crossing their faces at the sight of the present captains.

"I knew it was your reiatsu I felt (Y/N)-chan, you really are strong. I had no doubt." Hanataro smiled at you.

You rose slowly, walking towards him. Your pace started to pick up as you ran to him frantically stumbling a couple times. Jumping you wrapped your arms tightly around his neck as both your bodies crashed to the floor with a thud. Hanataro released a groan smiling up at you.

"T-That hurt (Y/N)-chan.." he grunted moving into a sitting position. You clutched unto his robes hands shaking. "I-Is it really you..." you mumbled shakily. He pulled back slightly staring into your (E/C) irises. He smiled reassuringly. 

"It's me."

Your eyes shook, grabbing him by his collar you smashed your lips against his. 

You could feel eyes staring but you didn't care. Hanataro's eyes were wide, his hands at his sides unsure of what to do. You pulled away slowly looking back at him. "No more stalling!"

"I love you Hanataro!"you declared loudly. His face flushed a crimson red at the statement, his body swaying. 

His head fell backwards limp, swirls in his eyes. You blanked.

"H-Hanataro!?!" you shouted shaking him.

Renji laughed boisterously. "You scared the crap out of him!!!" Renji continued to laugh as the other onlookers smiled.

You gave a small smile, thankful that Hanataro was alright. "I'm glad...your...ok..." you murmured. Vision fading out you collapsed from exhaustion.
