Life Novel: Part 1 and 2

I got out 10 of those and immediately joined Ichigo, Orihime and Kazui because they were going shopping and I want to get my own stuff because there are going to be times when I want to be alone. So I played my music with my earbuds in my ears, the first song that played was by Godsmack, the song was called When Legends Rise, this song speaks me of what I had done. Then faintly I heard a voice singing along with me, when I stopped the voice stopped as well, I shook it off knowing that it's my own thought process messing with me. We went to a mall, I noticed that it was close to being Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, wow I missed a lot of holidays, Orihime asked me, "What are you going to be doing?" "Going to see what catches my attention," I said, "Plus I need a bag of my own." "I see, well, if you see anything you like, well, wait what am I saying, don't ask us anything because you got yourself covered," Orihime said. Ichigo tells me, "We'll meet you at the food court." "Sounds good," I said, going our different ways. I went inside of a makeup store to pick out what would look good on me because I love to look alternative, so I got a bunch blacks, whites, purples, the lady at the counter could see me thinking this all out. She asked, "Are we doing alright?" I looked, "Yeah, I'm just picking out the ones that make me look different." "Well, could've asked me because I was going to give you this card right here," she said, giving me a free discount. I told her, "I was going to pay for this fully." "You need it, trust me, with that pale face that you have right now, you might need it more than anything," she said, showing me a mirror so I could see on what she was talking about.

Oh my goodness, I look like a walking ghost, I asked, "Could you do a makeover for my sake?" "Sure," she said, "By the way, may I know your name?" "My name is Akari Itsuki Kurosaki," I said. She greeted herself, "You can call me Janela, so you don't have to come up with names that I never heard of." "Alright," I said, sitting down in a chair. Few minutes go by, I looked like myself before I broke the hairclip, I paid for the products I gotten and I went into Hot Topic to get a bag that screams me, I found one it was black and purple, I pointed to it and the worker got it for me. I noticed on who he was, "Volaris?" "Hm, uh, you woke up! I am so happy to see you alive and well," he said. I giggled, "I met this girl named Janela?" "Janela Ackles, ah, such a beauty of a girl," sighed Volaris, "Oh, before you make your purchase I have saved something for you." "Really, what is it?" I asked. He pulled out the cobweb and holly flower, "I was waiting for you to wake up, since you are here, you can have it back." He placed it where I always had it, I got a couple things like there was this red fox plush that had a hook and an eyepatch and a purple bunny. I removed everything that was inside of the bag I gotten and put my money inside of the bag, I went to the food court to wait for those 3 before I go to the gaming store that they have here.

I was holding something at bay hoping no one would see that there is something going wrong with me, I do not know what it is yet but I hope it's nothing that causes negativity towards anyone I hold dear. It went away when I heard Ichigo saying, "I hope that she gets to realize that she can't get everything that she wants." "Let her live her own life after all she just woke up," I heard Orihime say. Kazui sees me looking at the 2, "Mama, papa, she's looking this way." "Aw man," winced Ichigo. Kazui was the only one who was seeing the different eye color, he ran to me, making me snap out of it when he hugged me, now I know on why I don't get hated on, it makes me too powerful for my own sake. I thanked him for doing so, he asked, "What's going on within you?" "I have no idea, I have yet to get an idea as to why it's happening," I tell him the best way I could, "It goes to show that I can't be alone for very long otherwise I have to deal with this." "I hope you can find a solution," said Kazui. I agreed, "I hope so too." Then the 2 caught up to their son when they heard me say, "I'm going to see if there is music that should be playing." So I got up to go to the center of the court, of course there was a stage, I was seeing no one but I was hearing music that I listen to daily, I shouted, "Hello! Is anybody up there?" Nothing, I looked around to see if anyone was watching me, I walked up on that stage and sang the next one that played next. It was playing I'm Alive from Shinedown.

I kept singing a setlist of songs until I saw a guy who looked WAY TOO familiar, I mean he screams Ulquiorra, he has the same eye color, the same hair, everything, but the hole in his chest, skintone, and emotions. I spoke out, "Hi, um, I could've swore that there was nobody here." "Oh, nah, I was making sure that the sound levels were working," he said. I offered, "I know a friend that is an expert in that department." "I don't want to do that to you," he said, "Oh, you said friend as in someone else, I'm dumb." "No, you just didn't hear me correctly," I said. I saw that I had Volaris' number, I messaged him to come over to the center of the food court, so he did, "So, what do you need?" "He needs help working on the sound levels," I said. He sighed, "I keep telling him that I can help him but he refuses to." "I'm sorry alright," said the guy. I asked, "By the way, may I know your name? I would love to keep seeing you." "Of course, so do I, my name is Alex Cifer," he said, "I would also love to keep seeing you because I have this strange feeling that I've known you from somewhere I just can't put my finger on it."

As I made my way back to Ichigo, Orihime, and Kazui, I immediately got a text saying, "Alex here, I was given this by Volaris." I saved his number to my contacts and I went about my day like it was nothing, meeting him was like talkng to Onyx, he made me feel that way. As we went home, Orihime asked, "So who did you meet?" "Well, it's a little much for me to remember," I said, "All you need to know is that I think I have found my prince charming." "That quick? Looks like you 2 met a few years back," said Ichigo, "I hope we meet this guy." "He was at the center of the court, I saw him when he found me singing a setlist of songs and it made me feel so much better," I said, "We are hoping to continue on seeing each other and we felt like we've met before." "Oh? what's his name?" asked Kazui. I answered, "Alex Cifer." "Oooo, I hope he's good looking," said Orihime. I giggled, "Remember that you are married, Orihime." "Oh hush," she said, blushing, "It's as if I would ever do that." "Would you?" I asked. They both responded with the same thing, "NO, WE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!" "Alright, geez," I said, "I wonder on what Esperanza is doing ever since I woke up." "She said that she has been dealing with a creature that keeps saying that he is Zangetsu," said Ichigo, "Even though, Zangetsu has been with me throughout." "Or, it's that form you've taken when you got blasted in the chest," I said to him, "I'll see what I can do to help her." "Be careful going there," said Orihime.

So that is what I ended up doing, I went to Hueco Mundo to see if I could help Esperanza with her situation, wouldn't you know it, I'm stranded and far away from Las Noches. I groaned, "I don't want to deal with walking that much." So I sat down waiting for someone to know that I was hear, I almost got attacked by a hollow when something killed it. I looked, there was the creature who Esperanza was handling with, it looked at me, "Be careful next time." I looked away silently giving him a look of annoyance, then I heard, "Wait!" "Ah, crap!" said the creature. It took off with me along with it, apparently I was giving myself the worst way to go, then he sat me down when the coast was clear, it was VERY gentle for a hollow, I asked, "May I know on who you are?" "I keep saying, I am Zangetsu," said the creature. I stood up, "Liar! Zangetsu is with Ichigo." "I'm not talking about the Old Man Zangetsu, his Quincy powers," said the hollow. Then it clicked, "Shiro?" "What? Aw, damn it," he said, in a very defeated voice, "Can you help me lift this mask off of me?" I nodded, I took it off him, it truly was Ichigo's Hollow, "How did you get out?" "I got separated from the other inner Hollow," he said, "This is my own body, I was woken by a very curvy lass that I tried to fight myself from doing it with her." "You know you have to clarify to her on who you are," I said, "Are you really that scared of her?" "Only scared of the fact that I get dominated by her," he said.

I put the mask back on him and dragged him by one of the horns, he was not rejecting because my grip was that strong for some strange reasons. Once we reached her, I yanked him forward and pushed him forward, walking beside him, making sure he doesn't go anywhere, I tell her, "I know on who it is." "Who is it?" she asked. I started to pull the mask off but Shiro held onto the mask for dear life, she casted Bond hands, he was bounded, I successfully lifted the mask up. She was surprised to see on who it was, she yanked him up and unexpectedly made the first move on his ass. Well, not what we had in mind at all, after that happened, Shiro looks at me, "You may want to find out on who this Alex Cifer is. He sounds interesting." "Yeah, if he is who you think it is, then there goes your worries of seeing him again," said Esperanza, "Because I was told something that you need to hear for yourself." I nodded, I left the place, Ichigo asked, "So, who was it?" "Apparently your hollow split into 2 separate beings," I said to him, "This one took the form of when you got blasted in the chest in Hueco Mundo." "I see, well, let's hope that it is all because I do not want to know or see if the forms that I took have their own lives," said Ichigo. I added, "Another thing, Esperanza tells me something that I think it's important for me and the rest of us to hear. Apparently that cottage where you and I fought Aizen, it's still there but the barrier was destroyed after I did that."
