(A/N We reached one of the goals! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* but Editor-san still needs 60 Powers stones.
Stone him like a witch!)
(E/D: Sorry bro, I am not into that kinda shit.)
Days went on, and I decided to talk to Zangetsu about sothing. These strange noises that I heard in my inner world are bothering slightly, and who knows my inner world better than the resident of that world himself.
I sat under Celine and summoned Zangetsu, only to realize that the sword had changed slightly. It grew in length and looked like a traditional nodachi.
Was that because I unlocked Shikai, and the sword beca more personalized to ?
If I rember correctly, even Zanpakutos in their sealed forms varied in size and shape. Good examples are Gin with his Zanpakuto looking like ordinary wakizashi or Kenpachi with his nodachi-like blade. So the possibility of this being normal is high.
But there's no point in thinking about it. Zangetsu probably has all the answers to my questions but will he give them is another question.
I placed Zangetsu on my lap and started ditating, and after a short while, I was sucked into my inner world.
In front of was standing soone familiar.
White Shihakusho, pale skin practically white, eyes black and yellow, cocky smile, and a big sword wrapped in so kind of cloth on his back.
Zangetsu, my Zanpakuto.
Zangetsu: "What is it this ti? Another spar?"
Ryoto: "Not this ti. I have so questions for you."
Zangetsu: "And it would be...?"
Ryoto: "What were these noises that distracted when I was here last ti?"
Zangetsu: "Noises? Maybe a wind."
His words feigned ignorance, but his look was telling that he was playing with . He didn't even bother trying to hide it.
At this point, I doubt that he would hide sothing harmful to . He had a lot more chances to kill during our sparrings, so why would he do it in such a roundabout thod. Besides, it's not in his style.
Ryoto: "Fine, I won't push any further..."
It seed that my answer surprised Zangetsu as he was ready to taunt a bit more.
Ryoto: "...But can you at least tell what you want. You told before that what you want and what I want are two completely different things, but you never said what it was."
Zangetsu tried to understand why I asked this question as the only thing we did here was a fight and sit and enjoy the atmosphere without saying any words.
Zangetsu: "... What's your ga?"
Ryoto: "There's no ga. You are my Zanpakuto, and I should know you better than I do at the mont, and I plan on fixing it. You should know that only because you know soone's na doesn't an that you're their friend."
Zangetsu didn't answer and just started laughing like a maniac.
Zangetsu: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can't believe that it was just that!"
Zangetsu wiped away a tear from too much laughing.
Ryoto: "Why was it so hard to believe it?"
Zangetsu: "Because I didn't think you would be smart enough to do it."
Ryoto: "I feel insulted."
Zangetsu: "Not important right now. You wanted to know what I wanted, right? I'll tell you when you achieve Bankai and not only that I'll tell you about these noises as well. Great deal, isn't it."
Ryoto: "OK, give Bankai."
He looked at as if I was an idiot. I think I saw a bit of disgust as well.
Zangetsu: "Do I look like a charity to you?"
Ryoto: "No, you look like ."
Zangetsu: "..."
Ryoto: "...I didn't hear no."
Zangetsu: "You're fucking with , aren't you?"
This ti it was my turn to smile.
Ryoto: "A little revenge for all those beatings."
At that, Zangetsu smiled as well.
Zangetsu: "Not bad, but if you want Bankai, master your Shikai first. Right now, you use like a glorified knife that can shoot big waves of energy."
Ryoto: "I'll try my best."
Zangetsu montarily turned serious.
Zangetsu: "Don't try. Do it. You'll either succeed or fail, but you need to have your eyes on the success the whole ti and have a mindset of being able to do it. The failures that make you closer to your goal aren't failures. They're stepping stones to success. You truly fail only when you give up."
Ryoto: "...I'll keep that in mind."
But why is he telling that right now? Maybe it's so kind of hint or just a reminder of my previous failures and that I should avoid them.
That goes, of course, without saying. I'm not planning on repeating my mistakes.
With that I left my inner world.
---
I forgot to ask about his changed appearance.
(Zangetsu's pov)
Jacob left.
???: "I'm surprised that you promised him to tell him what he wanted."
Zangetsu: "And I'm not surprised that he couldn't find you with how short you are."
I patted her head.
???: "Don't call short!!!"
But she quickly cald down. I think she is used to my teasing by now.
???: "So what changed? For you to give him a chance."
Zangetsu: "Nothing changed, but I want to see his chosen path. Will he fail or succeed in protecting his current happiness, but the mont he gives up, I'll kill him myself."
I said without any rcy in my voice.
???: "You know that I won't allow it, right? No matter how many tis he'll give up, I'll help him stand up once again!"
She stood her ground against .
We are two sides of the sa coin but still the sa coin.
(Run's pov)
Today is the day I'll finally et Ryoto in person. I can't wait! Since the day we kissed, I couldn't stop thinking about him. So what if he is Lala's fiance candidate. I'll just seduce him myself.
(E/D: Wouldn't that make you gay. But I am a Jojo fan so I am not complaining. Plus I am cultured to the point of having all the tastes.)
As I was looking around the hallway, I finally found him. He was talking to one of our classmates, but I didn't mind them and rushed towards him, planning on jumping on him.
Lala: "Achoo!"
Soone sneezed, and I felt pain in my whole body the next mont. I recognized that as Lala's tail beam.
Damn Lala! Even now, she stands before my love, but I won't give up!
My next attempt was during the next break, and this ti I was ready for any unexpected attacks, just in case, but maybe I should change my strategy.
To get close to Ryoto, I should get close to his family first, and his brother goes to the sa class as us.
During the next break, I decided to try out this idea.
Right now, he was walking down the hallway.
Run: "Hello, Rito-san!"
I gave him my best fake smile, but he didn't even stop to look at . Now that I think about it, he seems more gloomy than usual, and there was a strange fla on his forehead, but it didn't discourage . If that ant being with Ryoto, I'd accept this challenge!
I walked in front of him again and repeated my actions from before, but this ti I also did a gentle wave.
How about this?
Rito: "You're... not... Haruna-chan..."
He ignored and walked over without any remorse, dirtying my uniform in the process.
He continued to walk like a zombie.
I was about to explode with anger, but then Ryoto and Lala, who apparently were following him, arrived.
Ryoto: "I think there's sothing wrong with these Bullets. They give him strength, but his behavior is more of a zombie. He still wants to confess though, so you are going in a good direction."
(E/D: Yup, this is brotherhood, using the younger as a guinea pig. Ah~ The nostalgia. Reminds of childhood.)
(A/N What do you an. Ryoto is just trying to help his brother. His actions are altruistic in nature. I swear.)
Lala: "Hmm, these Bullets are a lot more complicated than I thought they would, but it's so fun researching them! Thank you for giving them to !"
Lala hugged Ryoto.
Argh!!!
I'm not jealous. I'll be the one in her place soon!
Wait, it's my chance. I'll play an injured, so he'll take to the nurse's office and hopefully take care of there! But as I was about to execute the plan, I sneezed because of the dust that Rito created by walking over .
Run: "Noooooo!!!"
