//------------------------------// // Peach 40 // Story: PEACH! (Season 2) // by ChromeRegios //------------------------------// After the long explanation and attempting to regain his pride for being accused of molesting Luna, Ichigo sits down drinking a cold glass of chocolate milk as he listens about the recent attacks while being told by both Luna and Celestia. A minute after the discussion, Yoruichi came in to tell Ichigo about the two mares. “So... are they really dead?” Ichigo asked Yoruichi. “Well... I won’t say... dead. Fluttershy was fortunate enough not to be torn apart... Her body died yes, but her soul still lingers around.” “Then... what does that mean?” Ichigo asked. “We, could fuse their souls to a flaux body of herself.” Yoruichi claims. “What about Twilight?” Rukia asked. “She, was unfortunate enough. You know, the hollow ripped through her body and possessed it.” Yoruichi said as calm as she can be. “Wait, if her body was ripped apart. How can the hollow possess her body at that state?” Rukia follows up. “You see, this certain Hollow, recreated her body to his liking, we don't know if Twilights soul is still inside it though, sorry to say.” Yoruichi said, looking back at Ichigo. “Why don’t you visit Fluttershy and ask her about it?” “Where is she then?” Ichigo looks up to Yoruichi. “She’s at her cottage... just pretend that she’s alive once you see her soul... if you say that she’s a ghost, like I did... you might never hear the end of her wails... I promise you that.” Yoruichi proclaims, ending the short meeting. Ichigo left Rukia and Mayuri at the castle, and brought along Hanataro with him and heads to the house of Fluttershy. On the way to their destination, Hanataro sees a bunch of ponies with different colors and with odd marks on their flanks, some were in a shape of gems, while others are of items. “Ichigo?” Hanataro started, as Ichigo looks over to him. “What are those things in their behind? Are those tattoos? I never thought they take tattoos on their back side...” He said “Those aren’t tattoos... they are called cutie marks.” Ichigo claimed. “Cutie marks?” “It’s suppose to symbolize their talents and what not... Don’t ask me anymore about them, because I don’t know myself...” Ichigo said, as they near the house. Hanataro quickly notices a bunch of bird houses and a couple of anime pens around the house... “Is she a zookeeper or something?” Hanataro said, while they proceeded to the door... “Don’t know...” Ichigo knocks on the door, as it opens slightly... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at the forest, Rangiku and Toshiro were heading towards the town first, as the others went towards the eastern part to check off an enormous amount of spiritual pressure emitting from that location. “Aww, why can’t we go with them Toshi?” Rangiku asked. “You know we need to see the princess and tell her of our arrival and give us the needed information about this crisis...” Toshiro simply said, as they enter the town. Toshiro starts to imagine Rangiku’s reaction upon seeing the ponies... he expected in about...5...4...3...2...1...... “AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Look at these cute little PONIES!” There she goes... “They are so, cute! I can just~” Before she can cause anymore ruckus, Toshiro grabs her by the collar and drags her towards the castle like a stray cat. “Come on, cute-maniac... lets head to the castle...” “But Toshi~ Ponies... ohh... BYE little ponies! See you all soon!!!’ She shouts as she was being dragged by her young captain. “Who was that?” Said one pony... “Must be the pet of that Soul Reaper...” Said a young mare. “She's kind of... large in the middle of that one, you think?” Said the other mare. “Indeed” The mare replies... Everypony in that area starts to talk about Rangiku, like she was a new kind of animal... and so on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “EEeeeekkkk!!!!” Screams came out of Fluttershy’s cottage as she starts to levitates things and throws it to Ichigo and Hanataro. “Look what you did, you idiot!” Ichigo shouts to Hanataro, as they hid under the bent over couch. “I’m sorry!” Hanataro shouts back. “Jesus Christ! I didn’t expect her to have the ability to levitate things in her soul form!” Ichigo said, thinking what may be the cause of it... then he turns back to Hanataro. “YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE TOLD SHE WAS DEAD!!” He shouts again... (10 minutes earlier...) The doors open a bit, revealing Fluttershy sitting on a corner and sulking away... Ichigo felt a slight dread and a feeling of anxiety around the area... “Shy? You okay?” Ichigo said, while going near her. but she remains silent, even her animal friends are keeping their distance on her. “Hey, don’t worry... being dead isn't that all bad...” Hanataro said, as Ichigo quickly shuts his mouth, but it was too late. Fluttershy heard it, and freaks out... (10 minutes later) “Seriously, you HAVE to pick what you're about to say Hanataro!” Ichigo said, as he defends himself and Hanataro on the oncoming onslaught of pottery and plates...
