[Nobita/Bleach] "When Nobita is Reborn as a Hollow"

Chapter 4: Flowers Blooming in Hueco Mundo

After Nobita began living in the cave with Nel's group, they gained significant power, not from training, but from Nobita's presence. It seemed his strange spiritual pressure helped Loly's group develop more quickly. Nobita and Nel got along very well.

As for Tier and Ulquiorra, both had quiet personalities, but that didn't stop Nobita, as he liked to tease them often. For example...

 "L-Lady Harribel..." Apache spoke, looking very shocked.

 "What is it?"

 "Um... on your head..." Harribel just realized something was placed on her head. When she took it off...

 "That fool..." It was a flower crown, which she immediately knew was Nobita's doing. Of course, Hueco Mundo didn't have trees that grew flowers like these, but somehow Nobita could take dead branches and make them sprout flowers. Being restless, he always looked for things to do when bored. He tried growing plants and it worked...

He even made a small garden in the cave... Harribel used Sonido to find Nobita napping outside the cave... (this was what he did when bored).

 "You find teasing me that amusing?" Harribel stood straddling over Nobita's head...

 "I'm not teasing... you just won't accept it. When I made one for Nel, she was overjoyed. Even Loly, though stubborn, was happy. But you just keep running away. Even the mute guy let me put it on..."

 "I'm not suited for such things..."

 "If the mute guy could talk, he'd probably say the same thing. But you take life too seriously..." Nobita sat up. "Sure, this place is lonely, desolate, and about survival. But you're a Vasto Lorde now... and you're not alone anymore. Your friends are quite lively too..."

 "I'm... not good at expressing myself like you and Nel..."

 "You don't have to express yourself that way. I am who I am, Nel is who she is... Tier, you don't need to be cheerful like me. Just... relax... being gloomy in this super gloomy land just makes it more depressing..."

Harribel closed her eyes, absorbing what Nobita told her... She understood well what he was trying to say...

 "I never thought I'd smile or laugh again... But honestly, since you came, everyone's become more lively... I... sacrificed many things to protect them..."

 "That's why you don't need to sacrifice alone anymore... You have us now, and who knows, we might make even more friends..." Nobita smiled confidently...

 "Vasto Lordes aren't easy to find, and not all are friendly..." Harribel thought of Barragan.

 "Come on, if someone like me could become a Vasto Lorde, there must be others... They might show up unexpectedly... And if they're not friendly and fight us then... HYAAAH! Something like that..." Nobita made childish fighting poses, making Harribel chuckle slightly...

 "You really don't act like a Hollow at all... Even after everything you've been through... I really respect you. Thank you..."

 "Anytime, Tier. And that flower crown really suits you, just like a princess..."

For some reason, Harribel blushed, fortunately hidden by her mask...

 "Th-thank you... I..."

BOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, Nobita and the others sensed an enormous spiritual pressure from very far away, but they could still feel it...

 "What?" Nel emerged from the cave along with everyone else...

 "Strange... it feels like a Hollow but with something extra..." Nobita wondered...

 "Like a Shinigami's power," Harribel said.

 "Shinigami?... I've never met one so I wouldn't know... but it's interesting... I'll go check it out..." Nobita decided to leave.

 "Wait... are you really going? It's dangerous, even if you are a Vasto Lorde," Loly spoke with concern. After living here, her personality had softened, becoming more sincere. She showed clear worry for Nobita, though it wasn't visible in her giant centipede form.

 "We won't know unless we try..." Nobita said... Ulquiorra stepped forward, seeming to want to go with Nobita. "As for you, sorry, but I'm going alone this time. Loly is right, it could be dangerous... it's better to have three Vasto Lordes stay together..."

 "But... it's really far away... if something happens..." Menoly said.

 "Well... never used this seriously before..." Nobita mused.

The tip of Nobita's tail moved in front of him as he concentrated. The eerie head-like tip of his tail opened its mouth... and something emerged - a tiny Hollow that looked exactly like Nobita but only the size of a golf ball...

 "What is..." Mila Rose wondered.

 "A communication clone..." Nobita explained. "It's connected to me at all times. If anything happens, tell it to this little guy. I can see and talk through it too..."

The mini Nobita jumped onto Harribel's shoulder...

 "Be careful then," Nel hugged Nobita affectionately.

 "Safe travels," Sung-Sun blessed.

 "I'm not worried about you or anything, but if something happens to you, Lady Nel will be sad," Apache said...

 "Well... you're actually worried, aren't you? Being stubborn like this is cute too..." Mila Rose teased.

 "H-how could that be!! You stupid lion!!"

The two continued arguing for a while... Meanwhile, Harribel put her hand on Nobita's shoulder, their eyes meeting...

 "Come back safely... If it's like you think... we might get new friends."

 "Like I said, we won't know unless we try... Take care of everyone... See you."

Then Nobita disappeared using his ultimate Sonido speed... Harribel looked at the mini Nobita on her shoulder...

 "Nobita... can you hear me?"

 "I can hear and see you all clearly..." The tiny voice of mini Nobita replied, giving a thumbs up, reassuring them that communication was still possible...

Ulquiorra watched the path where Nobita departed... He wished he could travel with Nobita like before... but this time he had comrades to protect. He never understood these things before, but Nobita always talked about them, making him curious...

Meanwhile, Nobita ran at maximum speed, as the distance was very far... but he wasn't too tired until he saw something interesting...

He saw many dissolving Hollow corpses... These weren't killed by normal means... They died from uncontrolled spiritual pressure... and he saw two figures who were the cause... a middle-aged man and a young girl, both naked.

Sensing their power, as Harribel said, it felt like a Hollow mixed with Shinigami powers, and those two looked more human than Vasto Lorde. Though they were naked, Nobita didn't care and went to greet them...

 "Hi, I'm Nobi Nobita. Who are you?"

 "I'm..." the man hesitated, no, it was like he was trying to remember his name... "I'm Stark."

 "I'm Lilynette."

And that was how Nobita met new friends again, and his first encounter with living Arrancars.
