Perfection For Us (Bleach Story) Ch.54 Ish i& Hizume Clips From The Past

People had gathered and the friends in the world of the living had been invited also. Then Hizume stepped up to the crowd. “If you have doubts about us hopefully this will help clear things…” she said then stepped down as the memories came forth.

“Mai! Ran!” a comrade yelled. Ishi turned first. Her hair was a mess as it was back then pieces going every which way. Both sleeves missing from her uniform and her arm warmer and scarf still there. Hizume had waist length hair in a low ponytail with the chopstick hanging from a silver thread from her hair tie. Hizume also wore fingerless gray gloves. “Yes?” Ishi asked. “There is a squad waiting outside the gate but no one is present to open it for them do you have any idea what to do?” The member asked. “I’ll open it.” Ishi said walking by. “But miss this is no time for joking!” he yelled after her. “I’m not joking!” Ishi called over her shoulder. She got there and edged her fingers under the gate. “Kay I hope I can still lift stuff this heavy.” She grumbled and she threw it open. Only it flew off its hinges and went into a deserted part of Rukon and destroyed the buildings. Everyone’s eyes were wide. Ishi laughed strained a little. “Oops?” she said with a shrug.

“RIDICULOUS!” the head captain yelled as Ishi then sighed and stood up. He was still yelling as she walked out of the room. “WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING!” the head captain yelled. “To go fix the gate and the houses I broke.” Ishi said calmly as then she left. People looked after her. “Wow…” Hizume sighed as she followed after her after apologizing to the head captain. People believed Ishi wouldn’t do it but they found a fixed gate and Ishi working on the buildings singing a song under breath:

“Fly little bird

Fly to the sky

Let your wings reach for that shining sky

Even if the cold winds of doubt

Press down

Hold on

And then even a storm can’t hold you down

Oh fly little bird

Don’t give up

Don’t give up”

Over and over again. Then she actually began to sing it out loud.

Hizume was in a dark corner. Ishi found her. “Hizu! Are you alright?” Ishi asked concerned. Hizume flopped out revealing eyes that had been crying. “Crap…who am I beating into next year?” Ishi said rolling her shoulders. Hizume laughed a little. “No one.” then she stood up and walked away leaving Ishi staring after her with a frown. Hizume went to Soifon. “I can’t believe I let him get that close.” Hizume grumbled. “I’m sure he just didn’t notice your feelings.” “That’s worse Soifon!” then Hizume buried her face in a pillow and screamed making Soifon sigh.

“Hey are you Ishi Mai and Hizume Ran?” a timid academy boy asked. Ishi grunted and nodded as Hizume asked, “What can we do for you?” “Um….well for extra credit my teacher says I have to write about a soul reaper or soul reapers who I think are cool and I was wondering if I could write about you two.” He asked meekly. Ishi looked at Hizume. Hizume smiled and said, “of course.” Ishi deadpanned. “I didn’t agree to this!” “WE’RE DOING IT!” Hizume yelled acidly and Ishi sat in a dark corner crouched down mumbling some stuff like “demon woman” “evil” “meanie” while Hizume chatted with the now slightly frightened boy.

Then it was a festival. Hizume appeared first in a soft purple kimono. She smiled at the others. “It sucks all captains have to come for me because Ishi hates kimonos and she’s been complaining over and over.” She said laughing a little. Then they saw Ishi flirting. “And she’s teasing those poor guys to get back at the head captain. Poor boys.” “So that’s not real?” Kyoraku asked. Hizume nodded, “Ishi doesn’t “flirt”. She teases. And those guys have NO CHANCE.” Ishi was wearing a tight red kimono. She was smiling at them looking genuine. Hizume shook her head. Then she whistled. Ishi grinned and winked. “See.” Hizume said.

“DIE!” they heard someone yell and Byakuya came flying through a wall. People looked through the hole expecting to see Ishi. “Huh…Bya-baka annoyed Hizu again.” They all gaped as it was revealed that Ishi was with them. Then Hizume walked through and kicked Byakuya in the head again for good measure. Ishi laughed.

Ishi and Hizume skidded back injured beyond compare. Ishi charged screaming, “I WILL GIVE MY LIFE FOR THE SOUL SOCIETY!” Hizume ran after her yelling as she attacked.  After the battle Ishi and Hizume fell to their knees as their combatant asked. “Is this place worth that much to you?” Ishi said, “Yes.” Hizume added, “Forever and always.”

After this all the doubt was gone. It was obvious they were odd and had a strange way of acting but they were loyal to the soul society at least. Ishi was laughing and Hizume was to a little it was about the time Ishi broke the gate and all those wide stares at the screen then at Ishi then at the screen. Toshiro’s eyes were the widest as he nearly had a panic attack as he told Renji about how close he came to having a serious punch from Ishi from a misunderstanding. Everyone appreciated Ishi and Hizume a little better now.
