Black Night, White Butterfly-A Bleach Fanfiction

Into the Enemy's Domain, Chapter Ten

"Okay, so how am I supposed to get close to this Genryūsai," I did airquotes behind Aizen's back, who was glaring sinisterly at the Dangai hole.

If the universe had an anus, it would look exactly like this.

"That isn't your objective, however, it would be helpful," Aizen turned to me, and looked me over.

I gave a shrug.

"I will send a messenger to the outskirts of Rukongai every second Wednesday to give you new orders, and to collect your findings," He continued, frowning slightly at me, "Do not slay it."

"Sure, but I can't promise that somebody else won't. I doubt hollows are up on their nice list next to ice cream and rainbows, y'know," I pointed out.

"I thought it was 'unicorns and rainbows?'" A voice wafted out from the window.

"Read Warrior U and then see if you think unicorns are nice, Lilyn-" I glanced at my now-retied obi, then settled on Aizen, "Not up to your standards there, Chester?"

"Chester?"

"'Chester the child molester,' Lilynette."

"Do not call me that again," Aizen hissed, adjusting my collar, "If you want to seem believable, learn to tie that correctly."

"Whatever you say..."

Aizen made a slight guesture.

I dodged to the left to avoid the attacking Gin, but he intercepted and judo flipped me into the void, "Think twice before insulting him next time, 'kay?"

I flipped them off-not caring if they saw it or not-and hit the ground running.

I'd get them back later for that...

It was dark and nasty in the Dangai, and didn't take long for the Cleaner to catch up to me.

It looked like a strange train of murderous intent, which, well, was generally what it was.

But, although I wasn't the fastest runner, I managed to keep ahead of it.

I saw a shaft of light, and with a burst of speed, leaped through it.

"...AAAGGGHHH!" The ground eagerly rushed up to crush my screaming face.

I tucked into a ball and rolled, barely missing a building.

Damn whoever opened that thing, I growled as I dislodged my head from the dirt road.

I looked around, surprised that no one noticed me.

Actually, no one really seemed to be around here-

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF THE SEIREITEI?"

"AAAGGGHHH!" I screamed and backed up into some soul's cart.

"WELL THEN?" Boomed the puzzled giant.

"Uuum," I faltered, wanting instinctively to yank out my sword. But, on second thought... He didn't look so scary...

"I was returning from my station in the World of the Living, sir!" I shouted, lying as I went, "But my butterfly flew off! So, do ya mind opening that gate for me, please!?"

The giant shrugged, and pulled it up just enough for me to pass, "WHATEVER, KID. JUST GET IN THERE."

Huh, wonder who pissed in his cornflakes, I thought as I passed under it.
