Ayame and her Dumb Luck

[UHCM]

Ayame felt the pressure on her head quickly losing its imposing power as only one silent step caught her awareness before the pressure disappeared. Luckily she had her hands over her head, so the damage will not be so harsh when she was thinking. Ayame looked up and noticed that Zerou had her employer up against the wall and her employer was scared. Ayame felt the same so she froze at the sight of an inevitable murder scene. Ayame tried to overcome the sense of helplessness to tell Zerou that murder will not solve the problem, it hurt those around him. However, the thought was interrupted as Captain Hanatan grabbed her and pulled her kindly into the room.

The last time she saw Zerou, he was really going to kill her employer. As Ayame looked at Captain Hanatan, Captain Hanatan left the room and soon said something about the pit. Ayame learned of the pit when she was in the academy as it is an old barbaric way of execution as a Shinigami has to fight a hollow without a Zanpakuto. Despite the headache impeding her thoughts, Ayame locked onto the idea of saving her employer from being killed by those two.

She got up and walked to Captain Hanatan and Zerou. Seeing that Zerou had his fist restrained by Captain Hanatan's grip. Her employer is still afraid of the two. It aggravated her to see that her employer was actually in a situation that she can understand...being up against the wall, defenseless and scared of being killed. She walked to their side, but distant to avoid any hakudo attempts against her. She then gripped onto the vine of Ronin, stripping him off of her shoulder.

"Steel yourself, Ronin!"

The two vines of Ronin connected and twisted into a shaft that is about her size before--with haste--extended itself into a thorny war spear with a spiked club on the foot of the shaft. The thorn spearhead curved and twists as if being struck by it will wound anyone. During its sudden extension, Ayame aimed it between her employer and the two who she saw as malevolent at the moment.

"You t-two! E-execution is pr-prohibited-d f-for ca-casua-al cr-crimes an-and i-if i-it has t-to be wh-what you t-two wa-wanted....So be it! I'll de-defend th-the u-unj-justly ac-ac-accused a-as e-expected!"

Ronin in its shikai form, but Ayame knew that Ronin cannot do any damage aside causing an explosion sometimes. Up against two powerful people over her abusive employer. What is wrong with her and that question was going on in her head as she struggled to keep herself steady and imposing, hopefully, they will know that it is wrong to send him into the pit without a fair trial. However, in reality, Ayame was only stiff in fear of the backlash from two people at once.

"Ayame! Stop shaking me! We can still take them on!"

"Ronin...these two are at the level of captains...I..."

"Screw their rank! If they bleed, they can be defeated."

"I know that, but I want to end it without shedding blood or tears..."

"Such naiveté is what kills the dog. Are you one?"

"Just shut up and work with me on this!"

"Fine."

The argument was open and one way as Ayame in reality was arguing with no one but her own weapon. In the end, the shikai Ronin reverted back to its unreleased state and holsters itself onto Ayame's shoulder. Ayame was clearly surprised to see that her own Zanpakuto disobeyed her like that; after pulling a stunt like that, Ayame feared the negative feedback from the captain and her friend.

[Zerou]

Zerou's eyes never flinched away from Seita as Amai grabbed his wrist speaking to him, only thing was, was Zerou was to far from his senses. One thing was on his mind and that was to kill kill or be killed. "Deixe os vosos pecados sexan da súa morte" Zerou's eyes were null with emotion only eyes of blank death. "Ti non debe escapar do destino dos teus" His hand slipped from Amai's grasp as the blade closed in on the man whom condemned him to that forest.

"NOOOOO PLEASE DON'T NOOO" The man feared the blade coming upon him as he tried to shield himself from the blow.

"Cower na propia carne o teu próximo como a morte de aperta -te agarra pola túa gorxa" Zerou wished nothing but death and destruction upon the man.

"Steel yourself, Ronin!" The woman whom Zerou just met was attempting to save the man's life whom just abused her strange. "You t-two! E-execution is pr-prohibited-d f-for ca-casua-al cr-crimes an-and i-if i-it has t-to be wh-what you t-two wa-wanted....So be it! I'll de-defend th-the u-unj-justly ac-ac-accused a-as e-expected!" Yes she was attempting to do so, she completely out classed in speed and power as well as abilities, she had a good heart but none the less Seita was going to die and it was Zerou who wanted to take him out for good.

"Agora morrer bastardo porco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the blade was nearly upon him now aimming for its mark and would strike true.

[xamaichanx]

Amai's ears heard Zerou's words and lightly blinks. This was a language she had not heard before, therefore she had not studied. She tightened her grip on Zerou's wrist, keeping her grasp firm until he had pulled away from her. The man pinned to the wall began to scream as Amai could have sworn the other geeks in the barracks had began looking down the hallway.

Her eye glared down the hall at other members, making them rush back to their rooms. She then turned as she heard Ayame's cries toward Zerou. She was about to dash toward the young maiden but halted as her own Zanpakuto disobeyed her and reverted back to it's unreleased state. With this out of the way Amai did not hesitate to kick Zerou in the back of his knee. Naturally causing him to fall back and possibly drop his weapon.

As the man laid on the floor, the female waisted no time to straddle his waist and pin his hands down on both sides of his head. Amai's eyes turned to the an names Seito and shouted at him with a deep growl in her voice. "Get your ass out of here before I let him kill you." She could have sworn the man was about to wet himself but he ran down the barrack halls and out the door.

[UHCM]

Ayame looked down at her zanpakuto with aching dismay as Captain Hanatan tackled Zerou to the floor. Though it is great that her employer survived, but seeing that she cannot do the defending part done right is a stab in her leg. Captain Hanatan threatened Ayame's employer to flee or die and the employer took off, but while Captain Hanatan was busy with Zerou, Ayame's employer swooped and picked Ayame off of her feet and onto his shoulder as he ran to the door. For the moment, she could have sworn to see one of the geeks opened his room door and held out a strange device. After that, there was a flash of light and a strange sensation chills her skin. Ayame blinked and finds herself in Captain Hanatan's room...and on the floor with a aching butt.

"Kya~What in the world happened...?"

Ayame looked around with a clueless thought that dominated in her eyes. Though she has been in weird situations during her delivery service, but this takes the cake to her. The chill remained though her legs are warming up. Ayame looked down and hardly changed from her discovery. Her top half of her uniform was torn out of her lower half, exposing her flesh and under-wrapping.

"Oh my..."

Ayame stood up and walked to Captain Hanatan from her room. Though normally Ayame would have flustered to have herself exposed like that, but she hardly felt anything, just the need to cover up. She looked upon Captain Hanatan and spoke in a strange calmed tone.

"Captain Hanatan, do you have any spare uniform? Mine was torn during the weird incident."

[Zerou]

Zerou felt a kick to the back of his knees but he didn't give in with that, he quickly flipped his blade so it was pointing down and thrust his blade at the man but missed only slicing into the back of his calf to slam deep into the wall. Shortly after Amai was on top of him straddling his waist. "Ti non debe entrar no meu camiño ou medo túa ira e aceiro teu gusto ! Zerou quickly twisted his hands under him as he shouted "Hado número un Shō!!!!"

With in seconds a powerful yet weak blast arose under him and shot him and Amai in the air a board of wood broke and shot up slicing Ayame's under wraps. With the air time Zerou twisted and aimed his hand out at the man "Hado número trinta e tres Sōkatsui!!!" a bright blue with a tint of red shot from Zerou's hand and it was just barely small enough to fit through the hall way only burning parts of the wall. As Seita was just about out the door his leg was caught in the blast and twisted him to slam into the wall. Meanwhile the blast busted through the wall leaving a gaping hole in the barracks.

"Deixe-me terminar o concerto Job mal que bastardo covardía que fodeu con" While still in the air Zerou was shouting in an unknown language. Seconds before hitting the ground Zerou caught a glimps of Ayame with out a top then crashed into the floors causing him to hit the hole he made and hit his head making him return to a normal state as he had arrived in, cold no emotion and with an aura that stunk of death and lust. "Oh my Amai chan. . . . ." Zerou was confused at what was going on all he knew was Amai was straddling his waist and Ayame was standing topless uncovered and there was a huge hole down the hall.

[xamaichanx]

Amai's eyes widened as she felt the movement of her and Zerou off of the floor. As he pushed off the floor, Amai's coiled her arms around the male's waist as she and him were forced upward. She growled at Zerou's stubbornness which she knew far too well of. She could have sworn she was going to be forced to hit the ceiling but didn't and sighed in relief.

As she was about to punch Zerou in his head and hopefully knock him into his senses, a plank dashed past Ayama and drove her body to become bare, making Amai slightly panic. This panic quickly subsided as she slipped off her captain haiori and tossed it to Ayame as she and Zerou fell to the ground. Thankfully the haiori reached to Ayame and covered her quickly enough.

Once Zerou hit the ground, she quickly removed her legs from around Zerou but none the lest landed on him. She let out a slight grumble as she slowly sat up. "Ugh..." She sighed as she closed her eyes. The sound of Zerou's voice making her jolt slightly.

"I... Swear Zerou..." She said with a slight growl lingering within her words. She looked into his eyes with her silver ones. Her crimson hair sprawled along her shoulders and back from the slight chaos. She was about to punch Zerou in the head as she had previously planned to but let out a deep sigh and instead shook her head.

[UHCM]

The blast from Zerou slightly made Ayame jumped as she was startled by such a sudden event. Seeing Captain Hanatan and Zerou slammed into the ceiling and caused wooden splinters to shoot down to the ground made her frozen as one splinter was heading her way. On reflex, she stepped to the side and felt a sting down her chest and belly. Instinctively, Ayame looked down and noticed that her underwrapping is severed and exposed her in a semi-public building. She then really froze while her emotions abruptly returned, causing her to fluster wildly before the Haori of Captain Hanatan landed on her head and covered her. Now blinded while feeling violated, Ayame panicked and ran for Amai's room...only to hit the door on her way in.

Ayame left a shallow dent on the thick, wooden door with her head and stumbled into the Captain's room to avoid being seen exposed like that. However, being in a panic made her forgot that she is blinded by the haori; she was also dazed from ramming into the door so she temporarily lost her sense of balance and fell onto her knees twice before collapsing in the middle of the room. Luckily, the underwrapping did not come off, so she lay face down on the floor, passed out from the hit in the head.

[Zerou]

Zerou heard Amai's voice as he reopened his eyes and saw Amai straddling his waist and her hair a mess and he started to speak with out guarding his tongue "Oh. . my Amai you. . . you are so beautiful." he didn't even give her a chance to respond as he placed his soft dry lips on her. Upon parting lips Zerou spoke softly "Meu Deus , como é fermoso meu Amai amado , se eu tivera que escoller entre te amar , respirar e. Quere utilizar o meu último suspiro para dicir eu te amo."

Zerou laced his fingers around Amai's as he slowly passed out from the extreme force of the blow to the head when he landed "O meu amado Amai." One thing Zerou wasn't planning on was the fact there was a board stabbed deep inside his back from the fall which was causing massive blood loss and him to fade into the darkness. "M. . . ay we fin. . . d pea. . .ce wi. . . th a sha. . do. . ws em. . bra. . .ce" Zerou felt the warmth of the blood seep from his back.

[xamaichanx]

Amai's eyes were soft as she looked at Zerou. When he first spoke, her cheeks turned a light pink and she was about to shout at Zerou until feeling the man's lips upon her own. The gentle touch causing Amai to shut up instead of bitch out. As the feeling of his lips vanished, the female blinked a few times, slightly shocked that Zerou had done that.

G-God damn it! Why does he always kiss me when I'm off guard..? It's not fair! She thought as she slightly flipped out inside. This was the second kiss she had obtained from Zerou since she had known him. The first being within her room before he vanished and then... Well... Now.

As the man whispered broken words, her eyes widened, feeling the warm red liquid which slowly seeped from the man's body and along the floor just below him and herself. Immediately she stood up and turned Zerou, seeing the plank within his back, Amai grabbed it as best she could and yanked it from him in a swift motion. She then took off the top of her uniform, revealing a black tank top.

She used the sleeves of the uniform top to tight around Zerou and hold the rest in place as the remained of it pressed onto his back to slight help clot the blood and hopefully bring it all to a halt. She then stood, looking over at Ayame and slipping the girl into her room, laying her onto the bed to rest for now. As Amai left her room she locked the door, whispering the words "I'll come back to get you.. Don't strain yourself Ayame." before she left. With that she lowered herself to Zerou, picking him up and shunpo'd to the 4th division to get Zerou immediate treatment.

Markus sighed it was such a peaceful day out in forth squad the type of day where nothing could really go wrong. After the date with amai that he had yesterday he was feeling vary relaxed. He was sitting out in the courtyard enjoying the sun. he looked at the sky it seemed rain clouds were moving in from the west but it wouldn’t be a factor till tommarrow.

Markus sighed as a bird flew over head it was a carrion bird, not one usually associated with the inner parts of soul society. “oh? A bad omen perhaps? Nah it probably just got lost.” markus laid back but was suddenly disturbed when amai burst into the courtyard using shunpo, carring what seemed to be a vary dead person… vary dead.

Seeing amai was a nice thing not something he could ever complain about, after the date in which the two seemed to have hit it off he was sure he wanted to ask her out again. but something about the way she was carrying that dead guy really felt like she wasn’t here to ask him out.

Markus got up quickly walking towards the two he could determine two things. One the man was still breathing, and two amai sucked at first aid. “okay that’s not how you transport the injured amai, I know you don’t know medical techniques but I still think you would know first aid… look at how you’ve rapped these wounds.. gah I cant heal him like that… nyah, it would be impossible to heal these wounds like this.”

He reached into his jacket pulling forth a small wakazashi. At first it looked like he was going to plunge the dager into the poor person. “Shine seikatsu-hogu.” the dager extended into a bright weapon bathed in a shining white light. Even markus looked kind of supprised at the turn events. Like he didn’t fully expect his Zanpakuto to work for him. a bright light seemed to envelop zerou forming a cacoon around his body. “iyashi o shirudo”

[post count for healing shield four posts till zerou is fully healed, and cant move sorry.]

[UHCM]

In the dream, Ayame was alone in the dark with the blue flame being the boundary line surrounding her so casually. The pain in her head was tolling as she tried to look around with her eyesight deteriorated from the daze. Winter was came to her mind as the void was cold and biting into her flesh with ninety-nine needles. Before her was a lone, empty suit of armor that was deep green, flaming orange and serpent-like while accompanied by her serpentine shikai zanpakuto. Ayame looked at her shoulder and noticed that her zanpakuto was missing. She know that shikai zanpakuto are only achieved if with its wielder. Could it be that the armor she is seeing is her spirit? A mist of ice flows smoothly out of the armor's mouth while the green hue of poison steams out of its eyes. It was shortly after that a pair of green eyes glows like the spirit just opened its eyes. The icy mist expelled rapidly with a single hard breath before the ice blue glow created the mouth. The streaking and clanking of its armor warned Ayame of its animation before the armor grabbed the spear and stood up onto the absent ground.

"Tokumoto."

The sound of large steels rubbing and bending are the only comparison for the armor's voice as it called for Ayame. Being short and afraid of violence, Ayame still was frozen when looking up at her seven foot spirit. She also whimpered while worrying about being harmed by her own zanpakuto spirit. Since she is within her spirit's world, her spirit has the power, not her and Ayame already upset it for demanding obedience from it. The armor walked closer to her while using the shikai zanpakuto as a walking stick.

"Why are you this indecent?"

Ayame hiccuped an enigmatic coo as she looked down at her outfit. She knew that she is still covered in the Captain's haori, but she realized that she is in her pink undergarment while the haori coated her body instead of cloaking her. Instantly, Ayame flustered and jumbled her words while juggling herself to cover up. Her heart raise the pace as she looked upon the armor without a hesitation, hoping that she did not just not make things worse for herself.

"S-Sorry!"

The panic was intense as Ayame looked down into the abyss that she stood on. Tears of embarrassment formed in her glassy eyes. The armor intruded Ayame's personal space as Ayame can smell the mix of plant life, vile poison and heated steel. The tears overflow as Ayame could not stand the stench of the armor. Suddenly, Ayame's breath was cut short as the armor grabbed her by the neck and lifted her; she did make it worse! Helpless against her new foe, Ayame struggled to breathe again; her eyes shut to keep the armor's gaze from forcing her spirit down.

"You desired to live on and yet you doubted my abilities. I can guarantee that I will hit your opponents if you just stop doubting me and let me in! Know who I am!"

The armor tossed Ayame behind him and Ayame bounced only once before rolling onto her back. She gasped for air while struggling to get back onto her feet; all she could do is stand on her hands and knees while the armor approached her yet again. After walking in front of her, the armor knelt and lifted her chin, so Ayame will look at the armor. The mist expelled at Ayame's face, giving her the chills of death while burns of defeat.

"I am a weapon to you and you have to treat me like one in order for me to be real instead of being your ailment! Are you damn willing!"

The green eyes glowed brightly as its anger was more evident by the moments gone by. The armor goes up after grabbing Ayame by her violet hair as it forced her to stand while hanging by her hair. Ayame cried as she tried to make it less painful by pulling her hair back in vain. Just like so, the armor lets go of Ayame's hair. The tears of embarrassment turned into intolerance and to pain while Ayame wept for her inability to control her own zanpakuto's spirit.

"You're hoping to control me? Naive welp! No one has control over another! It is your failure that I overcome you! I would smash your arrogant skull than to see myself working under you instead of with you!"

The armor raised its foot and kicked Ayame before watching her stumbled and fell onto her back. The sigh of disgust from the armor reached Ayame's ears as the void around her twisted and reformed into the back alley of a town. This place was familiar to her somehow and Ayame looked around in the twisted reality before she realized one truth that made her scared. This was the back alley where she was killed by a gang whom she did not accept the invitation from.

"You are given a chance to make things less disgraceful, but you blew it off and died right there. These men who killed you thought it is glorious to have a doll like you and made it worse with your pacifism. If they cannot have you, no one will, even your late family."

"Late family? They are killed as well?"

"Yes. The same gang still lived with your family's blood in their hands ever since they learned of your connection. They thought if they shown who have the power, the others will be under their control. Just as they planned, your family was publicly executed with severe beating."

"Including big sis...how did you learn all this?"

"I have been watching over your family for a long time. I am sure that Ronin is mentioned by your grandfather."

Ayame was silent as she bore the guilt of being the dagger in her family's lives. The armor that beaten her up was Ronin himself as he truly was giving her a harsh lesson. Six dark pillars came down before Ayame and it revealed the same gang who killed her. Ayame stepped back, knowing that her zanpakuto abandoned her to her death within her dream. Her right hand grew heavier than before, attracting Ayame from the gang and revealed to her that her shikai weapon is with her.

"These guys are comparable to the Gillian Menos, foot soldiers from the Forest of Menos. If you can brave yourself against them, you can fight a Gillian Menos. Now, treat me for who I am, a weapon and a damn good one."

Ayame's eyes flashed as she grown more serious. She wanted to avenge her family, but it would not bring back her sister; at least it would make Ayame rest easy. She tightened her grip on it and Ronin chuckled as he thought to himself as successful. The gang members prepared themselves for a fight as Ayame charged at them. Without warning, Ayame loosen up too much and the shikai zenpakuto's tip gets caught on a tiny crack of the pavement, pole-vaulting Ayame over the gang members as she quietly grasped her shikai zanpakuto like a bush-baby during the flipping before slamming onto the pavement with her head after the spear hit the ground and Ayame slid off. It was a moment as Ayame slowly descent onto her back, knocked out. The area twisted back into the void as Ronin looked over her while rubbing the back of his helmet.

"She needs a lot of work. Good thing that in my world, death and wounds are impossible."

After Ayame woke up from her unconsciousness, she found herself in Captain Hanatan's room as the bright square light in the darkness was obvious, though everything was a big, mushy blur to her. Ayame raised herself to sit up on Captain Hanatan's bed; after looking around, her head hurts yet again as she grabbed her head with one hand, meowing in pain and confusion. What just happened and where is Captain Hanatan? The thoughts about it made her nervous while she remained in bed...in the darkness...and alone. The feeling of panic slowly crept up Ayame's spine and Ayame responded by pulling the blanket close to her for improvised security.

[Zerou]

Zerou heard the mans voice as he bitched and complained at his old captain Amai. He couldn't stop himself before it was to late as his hand out of instinct shot out and gripping the mans throat with an iron death grip. "If i . . . Zerou coughed up some blood as he glared into the man's eyes then continued to speak . . . hear you tal. . . k down to. . . a woman like. . . that again. . . ill hunt. . . you down". Zerou didn't leave his threats out there just to hear his own voice he meant every word and the aura around him seemed to back that fact. Shortly he feel into a deep sleep like state as Markus placed him into a cocoon. Soon the spirit that is Zerou's zanpaktou emerged into his thoughts and smiled at him with her blonde hair and multi colored eyes, "Sooooo Zerou-kun. . . is it time i played?" He didn't give her a response as he only stared at her with in his zanpaktou's world. "I don't allow live with in my body and mind for the sake of you being here" he looked away as he felt the wounds slowly heal on his physical body. "Awwwwwwe don't be a party pooper." Zerou slowly faded out of the mental world as he soon was aware of the things going around him.


(Zerou will resume posting after the healing process is over. Skip till then)

[xamaichanx]

Amai was slightly startled by Zerou as he gripped Markus, threatening him. Her eyes blinked a few times until he was completely wrapped in a cocoon which seemed to be healing him. The female sighed deeply as pulled down the tank-top at which she wore instead of her usual outfit. Her silver eyes watching the cocoon for a moment before she shook her head.

"Such trouble... Oh my god Ayame!" Amai shouted as she hold her head. She then looked at Markus before speaking. "Markus.. I have someone else wounded back at my barracks. Whenever you settle Zerou into a room please come over to the twelfth barracks and to my quarters, alright? I think she might have severe head trauma."

With that said, Amai turned away from Markus and using her shunpo to return home. She immediately ran to her quarters, seeing that people were already working on fixing the damages left by Zerou. Same old same old.. Amai thought as she slipped into her room and pattered Ayame's shoulder, trying to wake her up.

[masorin]

Markus felt like he had just been pervereboily bitch slapped by some random person and then by Amai herself. He coughed slightly holding his neck he looked at the man in the cacoon his eyes filtering out the bright light, watching this man heal he didn’t know why but he really wanted this person to die. Still the first part of his oath, was to do no harm. He looked at his sword then back at the other person. oh how easy it would have been to drive it threw his skull. Markus turned away shrugging the thoughts away. “you have no idea how lucky you are that I didn’t keep my old job. Because if I wasn’t the captain of squad four you would be locked up for insubordination.”

Markus breathed heavily as he looked out at soul society Amai had another injured person in her quarters. He gestured to two others members of his squad. “figure out his injuries there are others I need to attend too.”

Markus arched his back his eyes narrowed as he breathed his shunpo launched him forward leaving a physical wave of wind in his wake, taking off like a cannon. People were injured, this was true, but he wasn’t moving this fast because others were hurt he was moving this fast because Amai was panicked.

[UHCM]

Ayame was frozen in her helplessness while trapped in her thoughts of what happened. The room around her shifted side to side in butterfly rotation without an end. Ayame's head did not cease to torture Ayame for a sadistic reason. Ayame felt her heart beating harder while she felt her eyes pulsing with colors confusing her. She looked around before feeling her shoulder nudged by a soft hand. She looked at who was tapping on her shoulder with her eyes filled with fear and confusion. Before her was Captain Hanatan, but somehow, the colors shifted and revealed Captain Hanatan as a black-haired woman with yellow eyes and a face of concerns that reminded her of someone locked in her deep memory.

"Oneechan~!"

Just at the moment she spoke that word, Ayame lunged at Captain Hanatan for a hug. Ayame's shivering was evidently traumatic, but it was her dream and what Ronin told her. Though it would be confusing as to why Ayame was referring Captain Hanatan as her older sister, but at least her normal personality is still intact. Whatever happened, the experience she had caused her to whimper and sniffle to know that even though Ronin told her that her family was killed because of her, she knows that her older sister is with her now.

"Things are horrible here and I missed you since that gang murdered me!"

Ayame withdrawn herself from her "older sister" so she can get a good look on her face. However, on her right eye, Ayame is seeing red as blood was bleeding a fine line down from her forehead and over her right eye. Ayame noticed that her older sister was deeply concerned while panicked, she got curious even though her head hurts. The blood over her eye irritates Ayame as she placed her right hand firmly over her right eye.

"Oneechan? What's wrong? Why am I seeing red? Ow~ Why it stings~?"
