The room is perfect, but he can't understand why he can't find his sleep. His pillows are puffed, temperature of the room is just right, a beam of moonlight that peeks through the window sets the mood for slumber but no matter how hard he tries, his eyes were wide awake and just won't close as it keeps staring at the ceiling. He tossed and turned but just can't find the right position.
A lingering haze of sleep sat at the back of his mind but was too far away to reach, floating in the pool if his memories- images keep flashing in his mind. Her sparkling warm brown tourmaline eyes. Her long crimson hair softly flow in the wind and how it beautifully cascaded at her back framing her small body. The magic of the way her lips lifted upward with her innocent smile and the warmth of her milky soft smooth skin. The comforting sound of her giggles, the way his heart pounds when she speaks and how he flusters when she calls his name. He can still smell her sweet scent of faint strawberries mixed with vanilla.
He sat, shook his head and stood up as he decided to go out for an evening stroll to clear his mind of her. Unknowingly, he found himself there standing in front of a door that says 5th and knocked. "Come in" said the voice and he entered greeting "Hi Aizen Taichō, sorry to disturb you but I wonder if you know where Erza Belserion is at? I haven't seen her around lately"
"Good evening Kuchiki Taichō. She's on a mission with your sister in the world of the living cleaning up the hollow mess. I sent her so she can hopefully train since she refused to go to Shin'ō academy" he explained without looking at him, busy with the pile of paperwork on his desk. "When will they return?" He shyly asked scratching the back of his head. "I'm not quite sure, didn't your sister tell you anything? why? What's your business with my Erza? Anything I can help you with?" Aizen shoots a stern look at him with a hint of annoyance on his face "What did you just say? My... My Erza?" His eyes and lips twitching and a vein popping on his head forcing a fake smile.
"I'm just making things clear, Erza is mine, so don't ever think that you can snatch her away from me unless you want me as an enemy, this serves as you warning taichō" the captain of the 5th division said with a menacing smirk.
Byakuya laughed wildly at his statement "I'm sorry to have bothered you. Good night taichō" he said shaking his head wiping the corner of his eyes as he continues to laugh and exited the room. "Yes that is right Kuchiki, laugh while you still can, I will wipe that smile off your face and you won't be able to laugh again as I watch you die" he said talking to himself and relaxed on his chair with a smug.
"Aizen you bastard, I won't let you take Erza away from me, arrgghh- wait, what? What did I just say? Why am I so mad? What the hell am I thinking? How the hell did I even get here? Why am I so worked up? Jealous? Am I..." He paused in his thought and halt his walk, looked at the night sky "Hisana... Could it be that my heart that died with you has become alive again?" He said to himself and smiled as he went back to his place.
Aizen went out of his office and went back to his room to take a rest. His hands rested on the railings, brushing it as he walks past the balcony then all of a sudden he stopped, raise his head looked towards the night sky and after few seconds closed his eyes and breathes deeply and with a sigh he let out her name, "oh, Erza, megami... I am always so sure of everything but if its about you I can't make my brain function right" and smiles "I miss kissing you, you're mine, you belong to me... I'll make you mine and make the great Titania answer to me and me alone" he thought as he recalls the incident in Momo's room and smiles as he thought of every single detail of her.
Gin appeared from the dark "Missing someone?" He teased. "You want her, don't you?" He added with a small giggle. "I'm just trying to get some air" Sosuke tries to keep his cool. "The blush on your face is a dead give away, captain" he said with a smile tapping his shoulders and went away. "Yeah... Good night Erza" he whispered looking at the sky and went back to his room.
"Good morning" Rukia greeted as she slides open the store door and was greeted by Jinta who is carrying a box that has a label that says "deefective items" and moving things around, Ururu is sweeping the area by the entrance and Tessai is busy arranging the merchandise on display. "Hi Rukia, you're early" Kisuke greeted and sip his tea and the raven hair girl nodded in response.
"Where's Erza?" She asked and the manager pointed to the tatami door in front of him. "I think she'll be ready any minute now" he said fanning himself.
"Good morning Rukia" Erza shrieked in excitement as she throws a tight hug to her friend. Kisuke who was drinking his tea suddenly spit-take at the sight of her. She is wearing a school uniform that consists of a navy blue blazer that has white borders on its pockets and lapels, and a white-collared shirt that is generally worn underneath. The plaid short skirt is a dark and light brown plaid with white outlines. She wear a diagonally striated red violet and blue bow and tie a black loafer with socks that goes up to her knees. His eyes widened, flustered, face all red, mouth open almost drooling, jaw dropped and blood dripping from his nose. For him there is nothing so sexy as seeing Erza in a high school uniform that emphasizes her curves and shows off her beautifully toned thighs. A small teasing smile crept upon her face "Do you like what you see geta-boshi kun?"
He disappeared from her sight then she felt a small pinch on her thigh. Kisuke was beside her, crouching, sitting with his knees bent forward and heels touching the back of his thighs, looking at her thighs carefully pinching her skin with a foolish grin "Interesting" he jokingly teased. "Tch, perverted wacko!!!" the annoyed Erza hit him on his head and walked away hands formed into a fist on her sides then grabbed Rukia by her wrist and went out of the shop. Urahara was on all fours, his head hanging low, eyes forming a tear, arms stretched out trying to reach her, his face darkened with regret with his prank, "Erza" he said with a sob. "Are you okay manager?" Tessai asked him and pats him at the back trying to comfort him and with a puppy eye he just nodded in response.
The school hallway was crowded with people, and the chaos was so perfect, like a movie. There was the couple that was always making out on the left side of the hall. Students froze and stopped whatever they are doing as Erza and Rukia passed by them, the red head was definitely a head turner and buzzing chatters can be heard talking about her as they went farther. The raven hair teen opened the door and the ceaseless buzzing of the classroom and the unlimited amount of energy the students contained increased, which would be a rare sight if the class was under their teacher's supervision. Paper airplanes were being manufactured with great precision at one end of the classroom and flown to the other end, hitting several annoyed children on the way and earning a good amount of foul-mouthed words in return. In the corner of the room, a set of studious youngsters wearing large circular black-rimmed glasses, snorted loudly as they laughed while wheezing constantly. The teacher entered the classroom and everything went in order. He clears his throat and spoke " We have an exchange student to observe and sit in with our class I want you to be nice to her and treat her with respect, am I clear?" and class answered "Yes, sir in unison"
She entered the room and Rukia went to her seat. She bowed and acted all girly, formal and demure "Hi, my name is Erza Belserion, nice to meet you all, please take care of me" she greeted with a beautiful smile. The boys cheered as they see and hear her while one of the guys with weird hair color stared at her with confusion and suspicion "I can feel her reiatsu and is extremely powerful and scary" he thought as he follows her with his eyes and leaned to Rukia who is seated in front of him and whispered "Is this the friend you're talking about? You didn't say that she's this beautiful and hot" and she nodded in response and motioned to keep quiet. "You can sit beside Ichigo Kurasaki" the teacher said pointing the empty seat beside the orange haired boy. She bowed at her seat mate, smiled and sat. "I need someone to give our exchange student a tour of the school vicinity who wants to accompany Erza chan?" the teacher announced, there was chaos as all of the boys wanted to know her and spend the day with her and the girls wanted to have a cute girl in their clique. "Erza chan it looks like you would have to chose" the teacher said scratching his head and sweat dropped.
"Kurosaki kun, will you give me a tour around the school?" she asked in gentle manner, Rukia looked at her quizzically because she is too proper and demure, she looked back to her friend face twitching trying to keep her cool. "Alright let's go" Ichigo invited standing up back facing Erza hands in his pockets slightly tilted his head to glance at her waiting. SHe stood up and followed his lead walking behind him quietly, smiling and waving back at the people who greets her. They went outside of the school building and passed in an old building before reaching the science labs. Ichigo noticed that she was left behind and stopped. "er, uhm.. no one comes in here at this hour?" she asked "Yes, why?" he answered "No one will see us here, right? not even teachers" she asked her hands at her back head slightly bowed, the orange hair boy blushed as he overthinks "What does she mean? us, alone" he thought, he let out a smirk trying to look cool as he walks towards her.
Erza summoned her zanpakutō and and unsheathed it pointed it towards Ichigo "You, you're the one who took Rukia's power, I'll kill you so she can have it back" her face darken and the girly image disappeared and became frightening, she released her reiatsu as it ripples around her causing rubble to fly around her, a reddish black aura surrounds her feet and the same color silhouette of a dragon hover over her. "Ichigo Kurosaki, I challenge you to fight for your life or die before me" she declared. "Dance, Yōtō Benizakura: Bakuhatsu" red flower buds appear flying in the air ready to attached themselves and explode at the target waiting for Erza's command. She ran towards him her sword raised high to prepare for slashing her opponent when "Erza, stop!!!" Rukia shouted and ran towards her hugging her from behind, stopping her. "Please, you don't understand, it's not his fault, I'll explain later" It's a good thing that she felt her spiritual pressure and found them just in the right time before she can kill the poor orange head. "Let's talk about it over lunch, okay" Rukia asked Erza with a smile hugging her arm.
