He was dead, that's all he knew. He had walked into the ministry like a lamb to the slaughter. Tricked by Voldemort, and now he was dead. He looked around and it looked like kings cross station, except cleaner, and it was pure white. He turned and saw a grotesque baby looking thing, whatever it was looked in pain and made him feel sick just looking at it.
"You can't help it" A voice said behind him.
Harry spun around and saw an old man wearing white wizard robes and held a white Staff. He had long white hair and long white beard that was much more kept than professor Dumbledores.
"What do you mean I can't help it" Harry asked
"Thomas Marvolo Riddle has went against the natural laws of magic, he has torn his soul into pieces. So long as those pieces exist, his spirit can not move on. When he attacked you that night his soul was so unstable that a piece broke off and attached to your scar. You were an unintended Soul container."
Harry thought about this and came to a conclusion that he didn't like.
"Dumbledore knew didn't he?"
"Ofcourse. He knew it the moment he scanned you. And in his all knowing arrogance he thought you had to die, it never crossed his mind to ask other countries for information, or the Goblins or even the House Elves. But that doesn't matter so much now. You have three choices, you can move on to where your parents are waiting for you, you can go back or you can take option three which is more dangerous but offers greater chance."
"What do you mean greater chance?"
"Dumbledore hasn't trained you like he should have because he thought you had to die. He believes that love is the power he knows not. This is not true, you were suppose to be trained to the highest level, the first Mage in centuries. Each Mage has a speciality, yours was to be the power of light. To manipulate light, to harness its limitless power. However becoming a Mage and training your speciality takes years and Thomas Marvolo Riddle has almost won, so many have died and his minions control your government. If you can't win, then his power will spread to the other countries, eventually someone will realize he made Soul containers and eventually he will be defeated, but not before the mundane world has become involved and world war three has decimated 90% of the population, and the wizards that are left will be either bound in control collars, magical oaths or be hunted down like beasts."
Harry's mind was trying to process this, he couldn't just let his friends and those he consider family die, Sirius already went through the veil which means he is dead and now what..
"What's the third option?"
"You ran through the veil, it was used as a judge, and once judged it would send the persons soul to the afterlife. In a Wizards afterlife, they either go to hell or go to Avalon. However there are other cultures that have a different afterlife. One which could help you. Know you would still be dead, but there would be wiggle room for you to help and defeat Thomas Marvolo Riddle."
"There is no option, I must help my friends but I need the best chance to do that. I choose option three."
"Through out history, for over two thousand years your family has stood at the Vanguard protecting against evil. Never did they question their dedication to the right thing so that the common man and woman would know peace. Your family is that of Warriors, never forget that Harry Potter."
"My parents died for me, and I will ensure that I live everyday knowing that and making sure that sacrifice was not in vain."
"Very well. Good luck Harry Potter." And kings cross started to glow brighter until he was blinded then he passed out. When he woke up he was in the forest of the Rukongai.
It was time, he had been wandering for so long and he was tired of being alone, tired of ignoring that voice in his head that spoke to him randomly, it sounded female. Today was the entrance exam to the Shino Academy
From the moment he woke up in the Rukongai his Reiryoku had been incredibly dense and increasing continuously. People couldn't stay near him long before collapsing due to his Reiatsu he was outputting, three months into being here, he started meditation, taking the time to do it properly, and without the Horcrux in his head or all the bindings of Dumbledore, he was able to solidly suppress his power.
But now he was waiting for his turn to take the exam. As he was waiting he saw a black cat walking down the line of applicants. The cat stopped in front of him and stared at him with its golden eyes.
Harry was a little intimidated from those eyes, he could sense great power from the cat. The cat yowled once, and two people dressed as ninjas appeared, ordering him to follow them, he followed because they had swords and there eyes spoke of danger. He was led to a different building where a man with long brown hair wearing a white haori with a pink flowery kimono over it.
"Oh! Is this a new student?" The man said
"Lady Yoruichi picked him out of those waiting to take the entrance exam." Responded one of the ninja
"Oh? Well then I will handle it. Thank you." The man said with slight excitement, turning to Harry, "Follow me"
As they walked the man introduced himself as Shunsui Kyoraku, Captain of the Eighth Division. They walked into a dojo. The captain gave Harry a Asauchi and walked out to the center of the dojo.
"Alright Harry-Kun, draw your sword and come at me. I don't expect you to beat me, but we need to have a feel of where you are.
Harry unsheathed the katana and held it in his right hand for a moment, then gave it a few swings to get use to the weight, before falling into a stance he thought felt right.
Shunsui watched this amused and slightly impressed that the young man was getting as use to the sword as possible rather than attacking immediately.
Harry charged at him and then swung the katana from the side, immediately blocked by the captains sword. He tried again and again. But no matter where he aimed or what he tried, he never came even close.
"We both know your holding back, Harry-kun." Shunsui said. "Why don't you drop this charade and show me your true power"
Harry stopped and nodded, closing his eyes and focusing on release his grip on his Reiryoku. Harry opened his eyes, and suddenly the whole dojo and the surrounding examination area was saturated by his potent Reiatsu. Harry attacked again doing an accidental shunpo, catching the captain off guard, but not enough to land a hit.
"Good, good!" Captain Kyoraku exclaimed as he effortlessly blocked and evaded him. He signaled to stop and sheathed his katana. "Wonderful. Now, we will test your aptitude for Kido."
Harry was handed a paper with instructions, it was an incantation, a rather long incantation to be honest.
Harry walked over to a target held up his hands and begun the incantation while tapping into his grim power animal. "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado #31 Shakkahō!"
A red ball of energy charged up with each word and when he fired the spell it completely obliterated the target.
Captain Kyōraku as rarely surprised, he was just to laid back to be surprised, but the potential in this man was mind boggling. Normally applicants were only suppose to show they had Reiatsu and attempt the first Hado, sho. But Captain Kyoraku had a gut feeling and instead have him a Kido spell that wasn't introduced until 4th year and the kid got it on his first try.
"Well done Harry-Kun, come with me to fill out the rest of the paper work"
Harry was excited, he would be part of this years accelerated class. He would be allowed to study at his own pace without being held back. He could graduate as soon as he could pass the graduation exam and had obtained Shikai.
Three months later
Harry had been at the academy for three months and he was loving it. He was being tested for the first time in his life and didn't have to hide his intelligence or abilities for anyone or fear of being beaten.
The academy focused on five things, first was history of soul society, which while Harry paid attention he was mostly reminded of Professor Binns. The other subjects were what he called the four disciplines of battle. Zanjutsu was the art of the sword, it was a shinigami's main weapon and most favored discipline. Next was hoho, the walking method which was the way Shinigami moved and included shunpo for high speed movement. Third was Kido, demon magic which was spells powered by Reiryoku. And lastly Hakuda, the hand to hand combat for close combat fighting.
Most Shinigami are only good or even great at one or two others disciples. Some prodigies were good at three and some exceptional beings were good at all four.
Harry was proud that he excelled at all four disciplines. But he wasn't stupid enough to believe he was just a one in a century prodigy or everything was going to be easy for him. He theorized that his only true gift that was innate talent and not born of biology or circumstances was his Zanjutsu.
For Harry, the sword just seemed an extension of him that made sense. It was poetry in motion, a dance that he instinctively knew the moves to, a dance he would eventually come to call the Dance with Death.
The other three disciplines Harry felt was born of circumstances of memory and biology from when he was living. Growing up he often had to run away from his cousin Dudley and his gang and be very tricky in dodging, it was these memories that lead him to believe that his skill in shunpo was a subconscious need to escape and dodge.
When Harry was in his first spar three weeks after doing katas every day, it was one of the weirdest sensations he had every known, it was like his emotions shut down and he just became ruthless. While he was only a beginner, he believed that his emotional detachment left him with a purely logical efficiency that his classmates didn't have yet and he dominated the fight. When Harry laid in bed that night thinking of the fight he failed to stop the memories of all the beatings he received from his uncle, and though that's where his detachment came from.
Kido. The art of combat using spells powered by Reiryoku. Harry knew his talent for this was a due to the fact that when he was alive he had magic and was fairly good at the practical aspects of it. At just three months of studying he could perform up to #20 on both hado and bakudo without incantation and still obtain over 80% of its intended power. He could also do up to #40 on both with incantation and achieved the desired power all the time.
However unlike Zanjutsu that Harry felt was an art he could understand, Kido was the technical proficiency he was looking for. Harry spent most of his night studying Kido spells and learning the incantations and expected results.
After three months of being at the academy he had developed a routine more or less. Morning was started with exercises he remembered from his time alive, doing sit-ups, pushups, pull ups and lifting heavy objects and carrying them. Next was Hakuda drills and katas, followed by Zanjutsu practice. He would then go to class and follow whatever was going on that day. After class he would work on his shunpo, both running without Reiryoku and then pushing his shunpo to be taking steps faster and farther, while working on shunpo endurance on the weekends. And once night came he retreated to his room or the library to study Kido.
Six Months later
It was six months into the academy and Harry felt he was thriving under the unstructured curriculum. He could perform Kido up to #52 without incantation. He found that as his Reiryoku level increased and his control of it, so did his affinity with Kido.
It was four months into the academy that Harry started meditating with the purpose of conversing with his zanpakuto before bed. Two days after being at the academy for six months found Harry sitting in one of the training yards under the stars meditating with his Zanpakuto on his lap in the middle of a barrier, it was here that he succeeded in Jizen.
Harry had a few ideas of what his inner world might look like, but never in a million years did he imagine that His inner world would turn out to be a floating city in space, it reminded him of Asgard from the myths he read in primary school. The stars were so bright and the Realm Eternal looked beautiful lit up. He walked from the entry point at the end of the rainbow bridge into the city. He passed buildings that were works of art and many many training grounds. In one of the training ground stood a tall red headed woman who wore a green Norse dress and Sandals with straps up her calves.
"The stars are so Beautiful, aren't they?" Asked the unnamed woman
Harry walked up to and bowed speaking
"That they are Milady, I am Harry Potter. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"We will get to that Harry Potter. Let us talk first, you have been hearing me since you came here, yet never asked who I was, why?"
"At first I didn't know what you were and was afraid I was losing my mind, then when I knew what the voice was, I decided to take the natural progression and not push it. It's one thing to push my Kido, Hakuda and Shunpo training, it's another to rush our relationship."
"I understand. What is it you want Harry Potter? Why do you want my power? What would you do with it?" She asked after a moment of thought.
"I want the one thing I have never had, a family. I would like the power to protect that family." Harry whispered. Thinking of how the Dursleys treated him and how he vowed never to be like them.
"Our power together knows no bounds. We can continue growing as strong as we want. But to do that, we must trust each other. We must learn about each other, the good and the bad. Look at this inner world of yours. When you are happy and full of strength and conviction, the stars of the sky and the lights of the city shine brightly. But when you are sad and low, they dim. I do not like the darkness, Harry Potter. Can you go all the way? Can you be strong enough to keep the light burning, even on the blackest night?"
"Yes. I vow to be the light on the brightest day or the blackest night. I will protect those weaker than me and those precious to me."
"That sounds good, but will that be all we are?"
Harry stared at the stars for a while thinking about what it meant to wield the powers that he did. What the Gotei 13 were, what Voldemort was and most importantly who his family was. And came to a decision, that was so crystal clear, it was as if the words were waiting to be said all his life.
He stood tall, proud and faced his Zanpakuto spirit, looking into her eyes, those words flowed. And as one, they spoke, both of their eyes humming with power.
"We will never quit. We persevere and thrive on adversity. Our Will expects us to be physically harder and mentally stronger than our enemies. If knocked down, we will get back up, every time. We will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect our teammates and to accomplish our mission. We are never out of the fight.
We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of our comrades and the success of our mission depend on us – our technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. Our training is never complete. We train for war and fight to win. We stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by our principles. The execution of our duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that we serve to defend. Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that we are bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of our family steadies our resolve and silently guides my every deed. We will not fail."
The woman stared at him and with each word both their eyes grew brighter and brighter, reaching a crescendo at the last sentence and the whole world flashed
"Very well. We are decided. Our Will is one. I will lend you my power. Return to the outside and call me forth, Harry Potter." The red headed woman stated.
Harry found himself awake and sitting in the training yard. He had put up several barriers to make sure no one saw him or disturbed him. Down in his lap no longer laid a Asauchi, but two wakizashi approximately twenty four inches long, with a black scabbard, the hilt was black with emerald green criss cross lines. He removed the blade from the scabbard and saw a back guard and blade. He stood and holding a wakizashi in both hands spoke firmly.
"With understanding comes mastery, Zettai Seishin Kontorōru!"(1) Harry stated in a clear voice and watched his wakizashi flash before he found a Ninjato in each hand. The blade was nineteen inches long, black with the cutting edge silver, the guard was black elongated octagon, with long sides connected by four smaller sides, the handle was green with black crisscrossing. He also notice his Reiatsu saturated the training ground as his Reiryoku shot up exponentially and his control slipping, testing his barriers ability to keep what he was doing private.
"Um, What now?" He thought curiously, wondering if he should just start swinging and cutting and see what happens.
Hahaha. Oh Harry, it has been years since we died, yet there is still some gryffindor left in you. Hahaha. As you remember from your classes there are three types of zanpakutos; melee, Kido and elemental. Ours would be considered a Kido Type Zanpakutō. Our ability is the total control of your Reiryoku. To use and manipulate as we wish. That is why we say with understanding comes mastery. It has two meanings. The first is obvious, with the understanding of your Reiryoku and the complete control of it you can obtain mastery of self and combat. The second is that if you understand the effect you want, we can master it. For instance if you understand wind, you can create it or fire or illusions. Think of your Ninjatos as wands with very sharp edges.
Harry thought about the wind and how it blew through trees on a windy day, how it roared during a storm and the rush of it against he face as he flew or used shunpo. He directed these thoughts to the Ninjato in his right hand and saw the wind start to whip around the blade faster and faster till it was a miniature tornado had surrounded his blade, he lifted and swung it as a target at the far end of the training ground and watched a slash of wind surged forward cutting the ground and anything it touched and destroying the target.
Harry was shocked and getting more excited by the moment. He thought of fire, the heat of a fire in a fireplace, the fire of the sun and will to burn everything to ash. He channeled that to the Ninjato in his left hand and watched in awe as the fire engulfed the blade, he swung it at the target next to the first and watched as the fire blazed forward like a beam and scorched the ground and reduced the target to crumbling ash.
Harry realized he was going to have to practice with a lot of different combinations, including the Kido he knew and adding it, it would take him decades to master his Shikai. But he was very happy to have such a versatile Zanpakuto. He sealed his Zanpakuto and dispelled the barriers, walking back to his room to study for his exams in a couple days, never noticing the black cat that watched him, the moment those barriers came down Yoruichi could feel he had achieved Shikai, his power was well hidden and but there was a wild flux to it that was unavoidable for a little bit after achieving Shikai, but she could feel it had doubled at least.
Yoruichi had kept an eye on Harry Potter these last few months. Reports showed him to be a prodigy, who could probably go wherever he wanted within the Gotei 13. Rumor had it even the captain commander was thinking about having him in first division.
Since she first saw him in line for the entrance exam, she could feel the enormous untapped potential he had, and since she had looked at him she had felt a desire to him. So when time permitted, she followed him and watched his progress.
She could feel as each day he progressed closer and closer to Shikai, and wondered how much longer he would even be at the academy and she was slightly curious on which division he would go to.
She had a feeling he would go into the Kido Corps, the affinity he had for Kido astounded her and when she had brought Tessai to watch, he agreed. If she knew Tessai he was already planning for him, her guess he would be offered a 4th seat or even a 3rd seat in the Kido Corps.
He had done it. He had passed his graduation exam which was nothing more than a battle with a hollow during a training mission. Him and his class mates were suppose to be hunting some mock hollows the Research and Development Bureau had come up with, a huge hollow had slipped in. His team encountered it as another was defending against it. It was two stories tall, with wings and a snake like body.
Flashback
"Gather round everyone! We are going to be going to the World of the Living. As you know the Shinigami Research and Development Institute has developed mock hollows for training. We will be the first to test them in a live exercise. A squad from 12th division has already cordoned off a one mile area and released three of them. Your job is to hunt them down. There are twelve of you, you will be broken up into three groups of four and lead by a senior student. I will be onsite to observe only" Lisa Yadōmaru, Vice Captain of the 8th division said as the group stood in front of the Senkaimon.
After the party went through and arrived at the designated spot they were broken up and given to a sixth year student to lead.
Harry had a bad feeling about this, he didn't sense any Shinigami other than the ones that he came with. Weren't there supposed to be a squad from 12th division on-site? His team was running through the forest area when they heard it, a roar that was not artificial, it caused shivers to run up everyone's back on a primal level.
As everyone started running towards the roar they heard a second in a different direction and Harry could feel it fighting some of his classmates, two teams were engaged in with one hollow each. He could feel Lisa heading to one group, but knew that the second group would probably be dead before she got to them.
Harry made a decision, damn his saving people thing, and used shunpo to travel pass his squad to where the fight was going.
Harry arrived at the fight and saw three of his classmates on the ground blood all around their bodies.
Harry looked away from the bodies as he heard the roar.
Harry had immediately charged at it with both his wazkashi drawn, but it was very flexible and maneuverable in the sky and dodge just enough that his strikes weren't lethal.
Harry was reluctant to release his Zanpakutō as he had not practiced as much as he wished.
We will need to reveal ourselves eventually Harry.
True but we can't let anyone know your true power. You are unique and that gives us an advantage over our enemies.
Then pick a element and use that as a front for our power, something that you don't mind letting people know about.
It was a good idea, and he knew just the element.
Harry was getting tired of it, sheathing his blades Harry lifted his left hand, pointing it at the Hollow and closing it into a fist.
"Bakudo#63 Sajo Sabaku!" Harry shouted and a yellow energy formed from behind the hollow taking the form of very thick rope that shot and wrapped around the hollow faster than it could react and captured it.
"Hado#31 Shakkahō!" Harry yelled as he focused his right hand aiming at the Hallow and shooting off a medium sized orb of red fire formed and shot at the hollow injuring it more.
As Harry walked up to it he pulled both his wazkashi's from their sheathes and released them.
And what did you choose? What will be the front.
We are going with Fire, while I am partial to Wind, I want something that is the symbol of purification. We fight evil to purify from the world.
With a thought of fire and light his Zanpakutō ignited into Golden flames. Harry raised his Ninjatos and brought them both down unleashing a torrent of his new flames at the Hollow, disintegrating it.
Harry sealed his Zanpakutō and turned with smiled a lop sided grin at his team mates that just arrived to see his flames kill the hollow.
Once they had gotten back and the teams had given there reports Harry was asked to stay behind. The Head of the Academy asked him if he had achieved Shikai yet and once he responded back that he had, the Head congratulated him and informed him that he had just graduated and beaten the record of a year by five months. He would start receiving offers for the Gotei 13 starting tomorrow.
When he woke up he had offers from all thirteen squads, secret mobile corps and the Kido corps. The first division offered him a 8th seat, while the tenth division offered him a Vice Captain. However he was especially excited about the 3rd seat offer of the Kido Corps. Which he accepted without hesitation.
Harry bowed in front of Tessai Tsukabishi, Commander of the Kido Corps and Grand Kido Chief.
"Welcome, Harry Potter to the Kido Corps. The Kido Corps is in charge of barriers, seals and opening the senkaimon. You are the 3rd seat. Over the next year myself and my vice commander Hachigan Ushoda will not only train you in our duties but bring your Kido to a new level. I expect that soon you will be as proficient as me, and some day surpassing it. You are a natural, however I warn you against creating or altering Kido spells until after your first year." Commander Tsukabishi explained.
"Yes Sir, I look forward to it." Harry responded
Tessai nodded and then had walked out of the room motioning Harry to follow him. They walked to what looked like a outdoor training yard that had two rows of people practice Kido.
"This is the main training area. All seated officers are required to hold a class twice a week. You will start in one month. As 3rd seat you will be teaching other seated officers and ensuring that their classes go well. Follow."
He was led to another training ground with a three on it. He saw symbols written all around it, it was a barrier that could be activated.
"This is your personal training ground. No one ranked lower than you may come here or enter without your express permission. This is for the safety of others, when you are practicing and when you are creating new Kido. You may not enter the Vice commander and my training ground without our express permission. You may also practice with your Zanpakuto as well."
Three months after he had joined the corps he had realized several things, senkaimon duty was so boring he played with the idea of breaking it on purpose so that he would have to fix it, it was this day that gave birth to his first Kido he would make which would open the door to so much more.
Also he enjoyed his classes that he taught, he actually had more than two a week. He ran two a day, one for every level, one on hado and one on bakudo. On the weekend he also ran one class on Zanjutsu and one class on Shunpo. He wanted to make his fellow Shinigami of the Kido Squad stronger, and he pushed them, he accepted no excuses and helped everyone he could. He often saw the Kido commander or vice commander watching his classes with approval.
Right now he was practicing in his own training ground with the barrier up. He was wielding his two Ninjatos with fire on one of them and wind on the other. But this wasn't a exercise of wielding the elements, this was a control exercise. Instead of having his blade engulfed in flame it was surrounded by a thread of fire that was infinitely more concentrated, same for the wind. With these threads he was weaving nets of wind and fire threads that was cutting through the wooden targets he made.
His Zanpakutō gave him the ability of absolute control of his Reiryoku, but this meant he had the potential to wield his Reiryoku into anything, he still had to work and train on a few things, such as the how to do whatever he wanted, and then the control part.
He continued his training until he felt his Commander walk through his barrier and watch until he was done.
"You have a very impressive Zanpakuto, with an interesting ability. A Zanpakutō can not wield more than one element, so to see you do it means either your Zanpakutō has broken a fundamental truth or your Zanpakutō's ability is not elemental. Such a mystery. Worry not, I will not divulge this to the Captains or anyone else. Should you have any questions, I would of course help you in any way I could." The Kido Commander said as he eyed Harry's Ninjatos. "But let us move onto other things. You have been here for four months, your classes are the most popular and you even have classes for the other disciplines, which I approve of. Today we start your lessons on the highest level kido. While I am teaching you the 90's level, Vice Commander Hachigen will be showing you Kido he has invented and how he went about creating them. Let us go to my training ground, the barriers are more powerful."
And that begun his training for the next year. He would practice two level nineties Kido per month, a Hado and bakudo. They were amazing, and required an enormous amount of power until he had practiced his efficiency for each one.
-break-
"Congratulations, 3rd seat Harry Potter. You have succeeded in learning the hundred Hado and bakudo. From today forward you will be reporting to Captain Unohana after mid day for teachings in healing. Once your instruction for the day is done with her, you may use your time as you please. Before mid day will be used for your classes to the other seated officers. Weekends will continue to be for myself and hachigen to teach you the art of barriers and seals. You are dismissed." Commander Tsukabishi said proudly.
Harry bowed and used shunpo heading towards the fourth division barracks, he was able to do high speed Shunpo now after intensive training of it, it was his weakest skill, but he refused to leave it be. His drills of pushing the steps further and faster, not to mention endurance was paying off. It was hard to improve his Zanjutsu, Hakuda and shunpo without anyone to spar against.
Harry sensed someone following him, they were quite skilled at masking there Reiatsu but he was very very sensitive to such things. He had felt this presence before, every couple days it was near him. He put it in the back of his mind as he arrived at the fourth division barracks.
He walked in and the other members stared at the man wearing the garb of a member of the Kido Corps. He walked up to the Captain of the Fourth Division Retsu Unohana, the foremost expert in healing in Soul Society, one of the oldest Captains and a beautiful woman.
Bowing Harry spoke, "3rd Seat Harry Potter, reporting for healing lessons, Captain Unohana."
Captain Unohana turned and looked at this man. She couldn't see his face except piercing emerald eyes, and she could feel he had so much power hidden and controlled, she was astounded. She saw two black wakizashi's at his side which was unusual for a member of the Kido Corps.
She smiled "welcome 3rd Seat Harry Potter, I was most intrigued when Commander Tsukabishi approached me asking for lessons for a member of his Corps. He has very high expectations of you."
"I will make sure I do not disappoint him or you Captain."
"Good. Let us begin…" Captain Unohana went into an overview of healing and the mechanics of the use of Kido and more in it.
Three hours later he left mentally exhausted, Captain Unohana was a strict taskmaster. And when she smiled when you gave a wrong answer, it felt like someone walking over his grave.
Harry decided to walk back to the Kido Corp barracks instead of using Shunpo, and see if he could figure out his stalker. He had been walking for about ten minutes when he felt the familiar Reiatsu following him. Now that he was taking the time to sense for it and not just catching flashes of it here and there, he found it to be quite powerful, it was captains level, though he didn't know why a captain was following him. But it was time to find out. Harry ducked around an alley and waited for his prey.
Yoruichi was following Harry Potter after she found out he would be taking healing lessons from Captain Unohana, she couldn't explain it but since that day she found him in the line waiting for the entrance exam she had been drawn to him. She walked around the corner in her cat form, expecting to see him walking down the alley, instead she found him turned and waiting with Kido on his fingers.
"Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro"
Six beams of golden light flew from his fingers imprisoning her in her cat form. The last thing she saw was a bright light from his hand before she lost consciousness. Harry walked to the cat before dispelling his bakudo. He picked up the cat and used shunpo to get back to the Kido Corps compound. He walked to his training ground and activated his barriers.
He placed the cat on the ground and since he was even closer could truly sense the power in this cat. It was more than he felt when the cat was farther away. This cat had a tremendous amount of power, it had more than his Commander. And he remembered this cat when he was in line for the entrance exam for the academy. He decided that it was time for some answers, he dispelled his sleeping Kido.
The cat stir and jumped up and away from him, looking around searching for a way out.
"You might as well transform back. I have brought up the barriers and only three people can bring them down. If you break through them it will alert the other two."
Yoruichi looked around seeing she had no other choice transformed back. Harry stood shocked looking at this gorgeous woman, with short purple hair, tanned skin. Her breasts were at least D cups and begged to be fondled and kissed, toned abs and long legs. He could see a hint of her nether lips with a narrow purple strip of hair that was like a miniature sign to where she needed to be licked.
"I guess you don't have any clothes?" Harry asked amused and using every ounce of his will to stare into her eyes.
"Oh? Don't like what you see?" The cat woman fired back while modeling her assets
"Of course I do, it taking everything I have to stare only at your eyes, let alone pouncing on such a beautiful specimen as you, but courtesy demands that I offer you clothes" he said huskily while his eyes darkened with lust, sending a pleasurable shiver up her spine.
"Meh! Who cares about courtesy! I am Yoruichi, Supreme Commander of the Secret Mobile Corps and Captain of the second Division." Yoruichi introduces herself as she sat down on one of the benches on the side of his training ground, giving him an excellent view of what she had between he legs.
"I am Harry Potter, 3rd seat of the Kido Corps. Sorry it's not high or fancy title like yours" Harry said with a mock bow, figuring if she was naked in front of him then most proprietary was thrown out the window.
"Oh? I think we will get along just fine Harry Potter" Yoruichi said with a smile that said the cat ate the canary.
Harry stirred awake, not wanting to get up. He wanted to stay in his bed with the woman next to him. He turned to look at her, thinking how lucky he was to have her by his side. Seven years since he had captured her and six years since they became lovers.
Harry definitely wasn't expecting the lovers part but they just clicked, first started with hanging out which moved onto training together. Each Shinigami usually is really good at three of the four disciplines, and has to work on atleast one to fully grasp it. Yoruichi was good at shunpo, Hakuda and Zanjutsu (even if he had not seen her Zanpakuto yet) but wasn't that great at Kido. Harry on the other hand was good at Kido, Hakuda and Zanjutsu but was okay at shunpo.
So in exchange for his help in Kido, she smoothed out his Hakuda and pushed his shunpo. It was during one of their training sessions that feelings exploded and the next thing either knew they had tore off each others clothes and he was slamming into her against a cliff wall, and they never looked back.
But today was the day he was the beginning of his examination for Grand Master Title. Harry had been surprised when Commander Tsukabishi came to him and informed him that he had submitted his name for the exam. Harry thought there could only be one Grand Master at a time and it was always the Kido Commander. Commander Tsukabishi corrected that, saying anyone could go for the title after passing the masters exam, however only a Grand Master could become the Kido Commander.
The exam would last a week, where he would be locked in a building with three examiners and tested on every Kido spell he knew. For the sacrificial and forbidden Kido he had to demonstrate perfect knowledge of and show he had the power and control to perform them.
As he looked at Yoruichi he couldn't shake a feeling that this week was important, and he didn't know if it was for good or ill.
He had spent the last seven years pushing himself to the limit in his training. Pushing himself until he collapsed from exhaustion or leading from going to far. He had ended up under Captain Unohana's care and each time her admonishments scared him, but not enough to stop him the next time.
He shuddered to even remember the looks she gave him, knowing that he would not listen.
Harry thought back to one of the most defining days. Two years ago his Zanpakutō appeared before him.
Flashback
Harry was sitting drinking tea in one of the gardens that he had started in the Kido Corps barracks. He was enjoying the gentle breeze and rays of sunshine on one of his rare off days from training. When his Zanpakutō appeared before him, staring at him with a emotionless expression.
"This is the first time you have came out rather than pulled me into the Realm Eternal. Are you okay?" Harry asked his Zanpakutō curiously.
"It is time Harry. We are at the next step, as you know mastering our ability is mastering Control, because mastering knowledge is a journey from birth to death. You are still learning different ways to utilize our Reiryoku, but you have mastered Control of it, which is what our Shikai is." His Zanpakutō explained.
"Yes, and we have worked on ways to replicate other Shinigamis abilities and our own ideas. The adaptability is our greatest strength. And we have worked on suppressing our growing Reiryoku." Responded Harry as he had a small thought of where this was going.
"Correct. It is time for us to take the next step. As you know it can take hundreds of years to get to the point of attempting Bankai and it takes a further ten years after it to master it. We are different, Bankai is the next step, but mastering it will take longer than ten years. More like decades, at least that is what I feel, as you know I will learn Bankai at the exact moment you do, but I have a intuition that it will take long to master. We must start now."
"I feel a change is coming in the future, whether it is tomorrow or ten years from now, something is not right. I will request a month off. With all the time I put into my classes and duties when not training, I have earned that much off."
A month later
Harry appeared out of no where into his room in the Kido Corp barracks, only to collapse as he couldn't hold himself up. His clothes were destroyed and he looked like he had been used by a pencil sharpener.
Yoruichi had taken to checking every night when she came in that night she saw that Harry was unconscious and in a pool of his own blood.
Yoruichi was by his side in fraction of an instant picking him up to take him to the 4th division barracks to be healed.
"Don't worry Harry, I won't let you die out of stupidity."
"No. Don't take me to the 4th division. Bring Unohana here." Harry croaked out before falling unconscious again.
Yoruichi debates with herself for a second, wanting to go against him, but her lover was a very cautious person and she didn't want to betray his trust. She placed him on the ground and disappeared in a shunpo.
Appearing at the 4th division barracks she hurried to Unohanas office and bathed in without knocking.
"Captain Unohana, can you please come with me, there is someone who needs medical attention" Yoruichi all but yelled.
Unohana looked up from her paper work at the female captain who just burst into her office unannounced.
"Of course Captain Shihōin, please take me to them." Unohana responded immediately as she had a fairly good idea who she was talking to.
They disappeared and Unohana followed Yoruichi into the Kido Corps barracks and when she entered the room right behind Yoruichi she saw Harry unconscious. She rushed over to him while her hands flowed green scanning him for all the injuries.
"He is almost dead. He barely has any Reiryoku, Lost a lot of blood, almost all his organs are crushed or damaged, and he has cuts, gashed, burns, nerve damage and frostbite. What happened to him?" Unohana said out-loud as she continued scanning until she was left with only one option.
She stood up Immediately she withdrew her Zanpakutou and held it to the side. "Flow through the gentle winds, Minatzuki."
Yoruichi watched as Unohana's Zanpakutou started to morph into a large creature. The creature struggles inside the room for a moment before it suddenly shrunk into half its original state.
"I need your help, Minatzuki." Unohana said. The large creature nodded and moved towards Harry, and immediately it opened its mouth and swallowed the injured Shinigami whole.
"What are you doing?" Yoruichi asked.
"While inside Minatzuki, Harry would heal faster than anything we have here in Soul Society." Unohana said. "I had no choice, he had lost a lot of blood and most of his organs were crushed. He barely has any Reiryoku at all."
"Will he make it?" Yoruichi asked.
"His will to live is very strong." Unohana said as she patted her released Zanpakutou's belly where Harry was.
Flashback end
Harry woke up three days later in his bed and received the most brutal of all scoldings from two very scary ladies. Captain Unohana agreed to keep his secret that he achieved Bankai, only after he promised to come to the 4th division every night for the next month after his training to ensure he was healthy. It was during one of those exams that Harry had taken Unohana against the desk after she gave him a note from Yoruichi saying it was alright.
Yoruichi and him had talked about having a threesome or adding another women many times, and during those fantasies Unohana was always a contender. But he shouldn't have been surprised that Yoruichi conspired begins his back, I mean she is an spy /assassin. After that night, Harry usually alternated nights, occasionally they would all get together, but those were usually once a month.
Harry turned back to Yoruichi and began the process of waking her up, giving her featherlight kisses until she responded.
"Why are we getting up! It's so early!" Yoruichi pouted as she burrowed under the blankets.
"Today begins my exams. Just like the Captains exam, this is big for me. Grand Master is a title that has only been granted seven times in the two thousand year history of soul society." Harry responded as he tried and failed to drag her out from under the covers.
"Fine! Fine! Only because of that else I would never leave the warmth that is this bed right now." As she got up and stretched making sure to give Harry a nice show.
They both got dressed and opened the door to find Captain Unohana there.
"Captain Shihōin, Harry, I came to wish you luck on your proficiency exam. I am sure you will do well." Captain Unohana said with a serene smile.
She yelped slightly when Harry grabbed her and pulled her into his room and gave her a passionate kiss. "Thank you Retsu, it means the World to me that you and Yoruichi are here."
He gave her a quick peck on the lips and gave one to Yoruichi before he shunpo'd to his Commanders office.
"3rd seat Harry Potter reporting" Harry stated formally.
"Good. Your exams begin in twenty minutes. I will escort you to the Yoshida Clan compound where they will give you the exam. As you know the Yoshida clan is known to be the scribes of soul society, they have knowledge of everything, including Kido. While they do not become Shinigami or practice Kido, they know exactly how it is performed and the standards of past grand masters. I will erect the barrier around your examination myself, as they are classified and you will be speaking about forbidden topics." Harry explained as they left his office and walked to the Yoshida Clan compound.
"I am proud of what you have accomplished Harry. Your potential outshines mine by magnitudes, and you impressed the Captain Commander last year with your impressive display of Hado against that small army of Hallow. God of Kido they call you for using a level 30 Hado incantation-less that destroyed everything in four hundred yards of you. This is just another step."
They arrived at the Yoshida Clan compound and were led to the building where his test would be. After Commander Tsukabishi confirmed that only he and his five examiners were there, he raised the barrier and left Harry to his exam.
Harry felt both excitement and dread, feeling as after this examine something was going to happen. Harry didn't know how right he would be.

Author Notes:
1. I used google translate for the name
2. The power of his Zanpakutō was inspired by maelstrom Gotei 13 byBredames.
The power though inspired will be different then that stories, especially the plan I have for its Bankai.
3. This was not beta'd by anyone.
4. I have issues with POV in my writing, I am working on it. And as I practice, I am sure my writing will improve.
5. This is not the bleach story I planned on uploading when I mentioned it in my HP/Fairytail crossover. I will be uploading that story probably next week.
6. Flames are not welcome. Constructive criticism on how I did with the fight scene, how to be a better writer or things you would like to see in this fic is welcomed.
