It's been a few weeks since I woke up from my battle with Aizen… I said goodbye to Rukia a few hours after I woke up, but I have a feeling that there is still someone watching me as I walk home from school, and not the regular thugs, it's just an instinct now, it feels like I'm being protected by an invisible being, and in truth it's starting to piss me off. But now that I'm free from my duties as a substitute Shinigami, I can finally go back to the compound.

Before I was a shinigami I had a different job, similar, but different, as a Guardian in the Arranian Court Guard, I was the leader of the 15th regiment, most commonly known as just '15' I protected and purified shadow's that attach themselves to corrupt souls, kind of like my job as a shinigami, but after I met Rukia, I had to try and balance my life as '15' and a shinigami, but after my first encounter with Byakuya and Renji I had to go to the compound and ask '13' my boss to protect and purify in my place until the time I was able to pick up my gear to begin again.

So losing my shinigami powers just opened up my calendar, but with the shinigami I feel is watching me from my instincts is kind of a burden, so I've waited a few weeks to go to the compound to get my gear.

Which leads me to where I am now, the compound looks like a normal city block to outsiders, but to Guardians, we know that the entire block belongs to us, and with the nice wrought iron gate leading to the main building. I held up my left hand up to the gate and my hand glowed and the number 15 glowed on the gate above where I held my hand, the gate slowly opened up and I walked in. I felt my aura being scanned by the barrier, and I sigh, it's been so long since I was last here it brings back some good memories of my team and allies, I walk through the gate and head towards the door of the main building, it's a western styled house with eastern elements added in so it kind of looks like a small mansion, it has a lot of rooms, and decent amount of bathrooms.


As I walk up to the front door, a loud roar fills my ears, and I instinctively put up my hand to grab Zangetsu, obviously all I get is air, as I get tackled by a large black tiger with white stripes. As soon as I recognized the tiger I sighed. "Hey Cy'. What's up?", I asked looking down at the tiger crying while laying on chest while I was laying on the ground I had fallen on.

The Tiger shined for a bit as I began to sit up, and next there was a long black/blue haired girl hugging me to death, crying. My eyes softened on the sight of her. After a bit she started beating on my chest and it hurt like hell, but I let her because I knew I deserved it, all the while she was yelling obscenities at me and calling an idiot in like twelve different languages.


After she calmed down, and I was sure my chest was covered in bruises from the little shit. She got off me and said in a strong voice with a big smile plastered on her face, "Welcome back Kuro Ichi-niichan!"

I got from the ground and smiled at Cy' she had grown a couple inches since I had last seen her, now she was about up to my shoulders, and she was still flat as a board, sometimes its hard to believe she is technically older than me by a few centuries, but after dealing with the shinigami, it's not so hard to believe anymore. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt with her trademark black vest over top, and she was wearing a black skirt over her completely blue patterned leggings, with her black combat boots with bright blue shoelaces. Her black and blue streaked hair is cut shorter than the last time I saw her it is still spiky but lays down to her mid back, looks kind of like my hollow did with his hair long. She has her big round glasses sitting on her nose.

We walk into the main house, and the inside reminds me of the past the large walk in space with the shoe rack that takes over the entire wall with a jacket rack next to it that revolves around, I can see the kitchen opening down the hall and the stairs that lead up to the second story floor with the overhang where I have personally jumped down many times before, the railing continues all the way to the kitchen/dining room so you can see the kitchen and jump over down for breakfast from the bedrooms. as we walk into the house, I ask, "So how have you been, Cy'? Aside from the previous breakdown and insults?"

"Well Kitt left for a while a couple weeks ago and left me in charge and a few ago weeks I've felt your aura fluctuating badly then decrease suddenly, then balance out, for the past 8 months I've been in Guardian form so no one has seen me around. Fight shadows, purify the corrupt, protect the civilians, you know the same old, same old. Wanna tell me what's up with you? You didn't even say goodbye to me, just gave your gear to Kitt and left, then Kitt ordered no one go near you until you came to us! Why? What the HELL have you been doing, I-I-I-", She started crying again, shit, I really messed up with this one, I ran over to her and grabbed her into a big hug, holding her as she cried in my arms, she held on to my shirt and cried, I rested my chin on her head.

"Damn, I am so sorry, I didn't think it would affect you guys so much, I'm so so so very sorry Cy'", I held her out looked her straight in the eyes, her tears slowed down as I continued, "I won't leave again, that was it, I promise, I swear on my badge, and my mark, my very sword, so don't cry, Cy' I don't want to hurt you any more, I plan on taking up my job again, I will protect you! I swear it!" She looked up into my eyes and nodded and smiled slowly eyes still glistening but the tears had stopped flowing out. After that little scene we went to the backyard through our HUGE Kitchen with three huge fridges and two ovens, and a large island in the middle that was open to the dining room with our large table that can seat at least 14, more if we extend the table. On the other side of the kitchen the sliding doors lead to our huge backyard, that has a large shed on the other end that leads to our secret HQ, and planning station.

We walked out to the shed. A companion silence between us. We enter the shed which is filled with multiple weapons and a table to work on upgrades. We sat down at the table, and I filled her in about what I had been doing for the past year with war and fighting Aizen and losing my reiatsu and everyone treating me like glass for the past few weeks. At the end she was holding me in her arms for I was slightly teary eyed.

"So Shiro-nii and Tensa-ossan?", she asked, letting me go, as I finished my tale and my tears had finished falling. "They are sleeping in my inner world somewhere, I haven't been able to find them when I look for them, and I usually get interrupted before I can look for to long. But I feel in my gut they aren't completely gone, they'll be back, but I miss them! They were always there and now I don't think I'll see them for a long time. Then all my so called 'friends' treating me like glass since I lost my powers! It's just so infuriating!", I said slamming my fist into the table leaving a dent in the metal surface. As I glared at the ground, Cy' got up and grabbed a black jacket and pair black cargo pants and started grabbing other stuff off the walls, and then spoke up, "I'll have your equipment done by tomorrow upgraded and ready to use, I'll bring it to you. Go home and get some rest. Before you get in trouble for curfew." I gasped looking at the clock it was 7:30, damn time went fast.

"Damn I got to go, thanks Cy', see you tomorrow." I was at the front door when Cy' handed me a pair of black combat boots with orange shoelaces. "Here, these should help you get home fast.", she said with a smirk, that I returned as I put them on. and put my other shoes in my school bag that I had left at the door.

As I stepped outside she spoke up, "I have a feeling you already know how they work, correct?" Cy' pushing up her glasses, so the glare would cover her eyes. In responce I just smirked and kicked off the ground and over to the light post slightly down the road, and made my way home.

As I used the parkour that I knew to jump across the rooftops. On my way home, with my speed enhancing boots, I jumped, flipped, and moved with ease, damn I missed these. They are enhance by my Aura, which is the embodiment of my soul, kind of like reiatsu but vastly different. After my Reiatsu vanished my Aura seemed to increase to balance out the loss. And thanks to my Aura and the boots, I have become near invisible, I can right now only be seen by those I want to see me, but the ability works better when I have the rest of my gear.

I land on the light pole outside the clinic. And jumped down to the ground gracefully, and walked into the front door and blocked my father's dropkick with my school bag.

"Your LATE! WH-", I punched him in the face with enough force to knock him out and I walked past Yuzu and Karin up to my room, saying a passing 'Hi'. Once in my room I placed my boots next to my bed and grabbed my night clothes and took a shower, and before I went to bed I drew some pictures, images of my memories. And went to bed with a smirk on my face. 'I can't wait for tomorrow' I thought as I passed out into a dreamless sleep my first in a long time.
