Prologue

Yamamoto Shigekuni Genryusai, the Captain-Commander of the soul society, is currently peering down at the two figures in front of him who countered with steely gazes of their own. He sighed, might as well get this over with.

"Sawada fukutaicho,*" He began, "I need you to go back down to Namimori in the living world for a mission tomorrow and exterminate the hollows there, which seemed to be rapidly multiplying. The science department and myself believe that it is due to the power of the Hogyoku. You can reside in your apartment there during the duration of the stay."

The brunette's eyes widened slightly before giving a respectful bow.

"Hibari taichou,* " He continued, "I need you to go down with Sawada, who might need reinforcements. You can choose to stay in her apartment or think of something on your own. Your gigai and soul pill is already ready in her home though, so stop by for it. The other divisions will help finish your work while you are away. I expect you to send in a report every week. Is that clear?

The raven haired captain gave a nod, cold blue-grey eyes betraying nothing.

"That is all" Yamamoto stood up "Meeting adjourned, "and paused before adding, "Hibari taichou, please stay for a moment."

Hibari stopped and gave a nod to his partner, who glanced at Yamamoto before shunpo-ing* off.

He strode in after Yamamoto into one of his vacant rooms in the 1st division and sat down politely opposite the old captain. The 1st division lieutenant, Chojiro Sasakibe gave the two respectful bows and after serving them tea, exited the room and closing the door behind him..

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Hibari decided to go straight into the point. "It's about Tsukiyo, isn't it?" He questioned. "Straight to the point as usual, hm?" Yamamoto chuckled. "Yes, it's about Tsuki. I need you to watch over her, and since you are quite close to her, that shouldn't be a problem. She might be mentally unstable, due to the incident that happened there all those years ago. "He frowned, his previous demeanor gone .Hibari frowned as well. Tsuki's mother, Nana Sawada, third seat of the 5th division and the most important person in Tsuki's life, got overpowered by hollows and was killed before reinforcements came. The hollows were attracted by young Tsuki, who wasn't able to conceal her reiatsu properly at that point of time. Since then, she blamed herself for Nana's death and hid behind an emotionless shell, not wanting to get close to anyone in fear for getting hurt again.

Hibari nodded. "I'll watch over her.She is like my younger sister.Rukia is close to her as well."

Kuchiki Rukia,a unseated officer in the 13th division and Tsuki's little sister figure.They were best friends and were always seen together until Tsuki was given the lieutenant slot for the 5th division.Even though Rukia is much older,she admires and still largely treat Tsuki as an older sister.

Yamamoto arched an eyebrow."Kuchiki taichou's younger sister?"At Hibari's nod he continued,"I see.Well if you ever need anything just give me a call.Anything for my adopted granddaughter."

Hibari nodded and stood up."I will.Nice talking to you,Yamamoto soutaicho* " He gave a small bow and continued," I'll update you with the happenings down there."

Yamamoto nodded."Same here.You are excused."

Hibari shunpo-ed back to the 5th division office and told Tsuki to pack everything they need for the mission.As he did he couldn't help but think that something is going to happen,and it's not good.

Tsuki couldn't help but wonder what her captain and her grandfather figure was talking about,but brushed it off,thinking it was just some things that they'll need to take note in the mission.

The next day,after a few parting words from their squad members and many hugs and glomps from Rukia, Hibari and Tsuki stepped into the Senkaimon and into the seemly neverending darkness.

That was 3 months ago.
