Okay, so this is a fic i wrote a while back...like my grimm one it started out on quizilla, but migrated here... Mostly because i get annoyed with quizilla and like here a bit more.
Alright, so it kinda jumps around in the beginning, but i had been so eager to get it out, so... 'shrugs'.
I guess i should throw out a disclaimer-
DISCLAIMER: I Do Not Own Bleach (i wish) ;; Nor do I own it's characters. I DO own my OC characters and OP (origional plot) so there! Ahahahaha, I'm in a good mood so gomen for any oddness! I will shut up now so you can read...
Oh! Reviews, both good and bad are welcome...though i dont see any reviews as bad...
Chapter 1 200 years before Ichigo
"No fair…" I growled as I watched Shinji and Hiyori walk into the captain's meeting room. It just wasn't fair! I wanted to see the new captain too, but I wasn't a captain like my friends so I wasn't allowed inside. So there I was standing in the hallway, pouting with my arms crossed over my chest.
"Hey there, Yume-chan," said a familiar voice. I spun around,
"Kyoraku-taicho, Ukitake-taicho, hi!" I said a grin erasing the frown that had darkened my features a second ago.
"Yume, what are you doing standing out here for?" asked the oh so adorable Ukitake. My smile faded,
"Well uh…" I glanced down the hall, "I wanted to see the new captain…but I can't go in with you guys, so…" I shrugged in a disappointed manner. Ukitake patted my head which made me feel like a child,
"Don't worry, you'll see him…" he gave me that picture perfect smile,
"Yeah, I know this one's going to get into trouble…" laughed Shunsui, tilting the tip of his hat down, "You'll run into him sooner or later…don't worry about it-"
"Captain Kyoraku," interrupted Risa who had suddenly appeared from behind, "I must insist... you and Ukitake-taicho are going to be late for the meeting…" Shunsui winked at me,
"Ah, sorry my sweet Yume, but we must go…"
I rolled my eyes at his "my sweet" comment and smiled at Risa, who gave me a friendly glance before chasing her captain past me.
They were gone just as fast as they had come, and I found myself very bored and alone.
It was quiet.
Annoyingly so.
I sighed and pulled out my zanpakuto, staring at the smoky colored crystal embedded in the pommel of the sword, a sigh hissing out from between my teeth.
My reflection stared back at me, my silvery blue eyes tired and my dark hair a mess. But I didn't care; I wasn't too much for appearances, though I did start to attempt to fix my hair a little bit more.
I wanted to look a little nice for when I would meet the new Captain, just so I didn't intimidate him too much.
Why did I care if I did?
Well, let's see… One, this new captain (whose name I didn't even know) was going to have Hiyori as a lieutenant (she's a close friend of mine) and two… I try to be friends with captains rather than enemies just because I feel it's a good idea. It might not make sense to you, but it makes sense to me.
So I stood there mulling that over, my one free hand pulling my hair tighter into the ponytail before pulling my arm guards in a more neat position.
It was then that my eyes caught onto a familiar figure nearby, totally unaware of my gaze.
Aizen.
My eyes narrowed and I growled softly, forgetting all about waiting for the new captain to show his face.
Aizen was the lieutenant of squad five, Shinji's lieutenant. Shinji was one of my friends, but Aizen… well I didn't trust him as far as I could throw him. There was something off about him… he acted nice and polite, kinda the quiet guy, but I knew something was funny about it.
Shinji knew it too, which was why Aizen had become his lieutenant; Shinji has said that it was so he could keep a closer eye on him.
Hn. Well I was going to definitely do the same when Shinji wasn't around, because somewhere in the corner of my mind I felt a dark cloud that had to do with Aizen, an unease that made me feel on edge.
I kept my eyes trained on him as he walked into the meeting, damn him! I thought, even lieutenants were allowed in the meetings, but not third seats.
I was still only a third seat, but soon I hoped I could become my squad's captain, I mean, I did more than that lazy bum of a captain did!
I waited outside for like an hour before everyone finally appeared out of the meeting room, Shinji being attacked by Hiyori who was even angrier than when they had gone in.
I flash stepped towards the building, my eyes on a certain person.
All the other captains had left with their lieutenants (mine included), except for a small group.
None of them knew I was there, a devious grin spreading across my face as I tensed my legs and sprung into the air.
"Watchaa!" I yelled as I landed on my prey's back, my arms wrapped around his neck.
Shinji and the others laughed at his expression, but I couldn't see it.
"Nice one, Yume!" laughed Shunsui as I pulled myself off of the now very tense Kensei.
I turned to face him and saw that he was giving me a death glare. I gave him a playfully apologetic grin,
"Oh come on, it was funny!" I chimed. Kensei rolled his eyes,
"Why do you always attack me?!" he growled. I grinned,
"Cause its fun!" He crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head at me with a sigh,
"Whatever."
I had known Kensei since I had come to soul society, and it was thanks to him that I ended up where I was in the Gotei thirteen. I must admit that I wish I ended up in the same squad as him, but well…my skills were more made for squad 11 where I am now.
"Oh Yume-chan," called out Yoruichi, "Come here for a sec."
"Huh?" I went over to where she was standing next to a man with shaggy blonde hair who was staring at me.
"This is Kisuke Uruhara, my cousin and now captain of squad 12." He looked kinda goofy compared to most of the other captains I knew (with the exception of Shunsui), but I could tell he was a nice guy right away.
"Nice to meet you," I said bowing, "My name is Yume Asura; I'm third seat for squad 11."
Uruhara smiled in return,
"Nice to meet you too," My eyes fell on Hiyori who was giving Uruhara the worse death glare I had ever seen, she really didn't like her new captain, especially since she and Kirio Hikifune (the last captain) had been so close. I felt a little sorry for her, but sorrier for Uruhara… Hiyori was going to give him hell.
"Uh, well I'd better go meet my new division…" said Uruhara nervously as he rubbed the back of his messy blonde head; I caught Hiyori grimacing in annoyance. She felt my eyes on her and stared back at me angrily, and I shrugged in reply.
"Later then, Kisuke." said Yoruichi as she turned to leave, Soi Fon trailing behind like a puppy. Uruhara then left, Hiyori leading the way, and I almost thought I saw flames circling around her.
"Hn. We'd better be going too…" said Ukitake.
"Ah, I think I'll head back now myself," said Shunsui, "See you 'round." And they left too.
That left me, Kensei, Shinji, Rose, and Love. I thumbed back in the direction Uruhara had gone,
"Man, Hiyori sure has it in for him!"
"It would seem so," said Rose smiling. Shinji shrugged,
"Not surprising, I mean she did look up to Hikifune… Ah, she'll get over it eventually." I frowned,
"Geez, Shinji that sounds a bit heartless!" I said. The lanky blonde grinned a bit,
"Che, you know it's true." Kensei took a few steps forward,
"Hn, either way, I pity the guy… Hiyori's gonna make hell for him." I titled my head back and grinned at him,
"Finally going to speak, eh Ken?" Oh I was in for it.
"What did you call me?!" he snarled in a 'you're-so-dead' voice. I laughed as he stood over me, staring down at me, "How many times have I told you not to call me that!" I put a finger to my chin thoughtfully,
"Hmm…well, I lost count-"
"Agh!" he yelled, throwing his hands up into the air and storming off. I was about to follow him when,
"Yume-san, aren't you supposed to be with your captain?" asked a voice that made me grit my teeth. I took a breath a spun around acting normal,
"Uh… well Mamoru-fukutaicho is with him, so they don't really need me..." I answered with a shrug. Aizen smiled, and I thought, what a fake smile… I turned and ran to Kensei who was still walking away and rambling to himself.
"Kensei!" I called, causing him to stop and turn around. I skidded to a stop, "You're not really mad at me, are you?" He ran a hand through his silvery hair,
"Nah, I'm just a bit tired…" he stared down at me, "I haven't been sleeping too well lately."
"Oh," I replied with a relieved sigh, "Why-" I began but was interrupted,
"HEY YUME-SAN!" yelled a voice, "THE CAPTAIN'S LOOKING FOR YOU!"
My expression became that of being very, very annoyed. Kensei laughed at me,
"What's with that look?" I glanced back at my lieutenant and then at Kensei,
"They don't seem able to do a thing themselves, that's what." I growled, "They've been making me work my butt off!" He gave me a grin and placed his hand on my shoulder,
"That's only because you're good at what you do," he said. My eyes went wide for a second, Kensei was a nice guy, but he wasn't one to usually say things like that. I think my cheeks flushed slightly as I stared up at him, but my annoying lieutenant called me again,
"YUME!!" I turned,
"All RIGHT ALREADY! IM COMING!" I turned back to Kensei with a soft smile, "Uh, see you later…" he nodded. I began to run off, but then stopped. Without looking back I said, "And thanks…"
Before he could say anything I was running full speed towards my lieutenant, Mamoru.
