Chapter 1: The Truth that Lay Away

The sun was skewing heat for the day in the Soul Society, that was when Kisuke became the Captain of squad 12. There was one young man who people payed no attention to, a person the other Soul Reapers didn't even acknowledge. He was the son of a Shihouin and a Kuchiki and had great potential as a child. He was accepted into the Soul Society just after 4 years in the Shinigami Academy, but when he would tell of his heritage people called him a liar. He protested and protested but to no avail nobody believed he was the son of two of the great noble clans. He worked even harder to be recognized and finally got a seat in squad 6, but people still didn't care. He thought he knew what love was but as his parents abandoned him so did everyone else. He was forgotten in due time but he figured if he could do something so amazing he just might be recognized. This young man Rinryu Shiro trained so hard until he dropped and as soon as he got up practiced more. Eventually he learned the name of his zanpaku-to and moved on.

A leaf fell on his nose as he snored lying under a cherry blossom tree, and the wind picked up blowing it away. He opened his eyes and stretched.

"Oh.... man that was a good sleep but I wonder if Captain Kuchiki needed me, I doubt it nobody needs me". Rinryu stood up and grabbed his zanpaku-to and flash stepped through the forest. Rinryu wore a regular shinigami uniform, had bandages on both hands, black hair tied up, and dark green eyes. He noticed something out of the corner of his eye and headed in the direction.

He saw a tall man with chestnut brown hair talking to a little boy with light purple hair and closed eyes. "Wait a minute is that Leutinent Aizen? If it's him I'll just wait behind this tree and see why he's here. "So Gin now that Kisuke is the Captain of squad 12, I'm going to start the plan and I need you to be readfy as well" Aizen said to the smiling little boy. The little boy nodded his head and said yes sir and disappeared instantly. Aizen sensing someone nearby turns in Rinryu's direction and walks over to where he is hiding behind the tree.

Aizen then looks around the tree and sees nobody, he decides to shrugg it off and shunpoed away. Meanwhile Rinryu was hiding up in the tree scared out of his wits. A few seconds later he dropped down and didn't see his zanpaku-to and looked up. As he looked it fell stright on his face and slid to the ground.

"OUCH!!! That hurt son of a mother". Rinryuu calmed down and picked up his sword and put it on his back and walked back to the squad 6 barracks. From a distance Aizen stood by Gin's side while watching Rinryu head off.

"Are you sure we can let him go Leutinent Aizen?" Gin asked lookeing up at him.

"Don't worry Gin, he doesn't know much but if he finds out you know what to do". Aizen walked off with a wicked evil smile on his face.

At the Kuchiki mansion Byakuya get's scolded. "Come on grandson patience will not only make you stronger but wiser" Ginrei Kuchiki told his grandson. Byakuya was breathing heavily as his grandfather nodded in disapproval. "Don't worry my grandson, I have hired someone who will spar with you, people say they have no idea who he is be he's worth the money". Byakuya looked annoyed at what his grandfather had just told him.

"But grandfather I need no one to help me with getting stronger" Byakuya protested wiping sweat off his face. Just as he finished talking, a man showed up in a shinigami uniform.

"Ah, it appears you have arrived, you can begin at once". Ginrei told the man as he walked away.

"Granfather is this the man you have spoke of?" Byakuya asked but his granfather already left.

"Yes I am here to help you train little Byakuya" Rinryu said smiling at the evil look on Byakuya's face.

"Fine then I'll tear you to pieces, Scatter Senbon Zakura!" Byakuya said holding his blade straight up and the whole blade disappeared in pink petals. Rinryu was shocked to see a kid with a zanpaku-to that hadn't even gotten into the academy already knew his shikai.

Pink petals flew around Rinryu as he neared what he was going to do. Seconds later Rinryu brushed Byakuya's attack off by just raising his spiritual power. But then he just realized Byakuya's attack was a diversion as a cut appeared on his shoulder.

"Not bad Byakuya-san, but impatience is your undoing". Rinryu mocked Byakuya.

Rinryu pulled out his zanpaku-to and swung down at Byakuya who blocked but was being overpowered. In seconds Rinryu's blade soared down Byakuya's torso and blood poured out as a result. Byakuya who looked stunned backed off with his broken zanpaku-to, and breathed heavily.

Rinryu nodded with a smile. "Come on little Byakuya is that all your noble essense has to offer or is there more?

"Why you arrogant Soul Reaper I'll tear you apart! Byakuya ran at Rinryu frustrated at losing to him.

Instantly Byakuya was stopped and he looked back at who dare touch him, a noble. He saw a bright smiling face on this tall person who wore a shinigami uniform and had a white coat on as well. The person mover their face close to Byakuya's so he could see who it was.

"Well I see your practicing with a new teacher little Byakuya" Yoruichi said letting go of his hand and disappeared to a roof a few feet away. She looked at Rinryu and wondered if she had seen this guy before, and decided to let it go.

"What do you want you wretched woman?

"Just stopping by to say hello little Byakuya-san".

"Stop calling me that!

"I'll stop calling you little when you are able to catch me". Play a little game of tag then.

"Fine then I'll play your little game of tag".

Byakuya headed towards Yoruichi who flash stepped behind him and pulled out his hair tye. He got angry and turned around only to slash air.

"Too slow little Byakuya" Yoruichi mocked flash stepping off in the distance away from Rinryu and Byakuya.

"Why that little, anyways back to our sparring" Byakuya wavered a little and his vision blurred and darkness overcame him.

After informing the household to take care of Byakuya, Rinryu walked back to the Soul Society. On his way he noticed Aizen talking with a black man who had a metal mask on the bottom part of his face and black starfish shaped hair. He decided to eavesdrop and moved closer.

"So Kaname you know when you head out with the search party, you kill them and make sure the Captain gets hollowfied" Aizen told him as he bowed.

"Yes sir I understand Leutinent Aizen, it will be done" Kaname said out of fear.

"Good, now one last thing take care of of him". And with that said Aizen walked off.

"Dam he must of known that I was here, I need to escape and talk to Captain Urahara immediately. Rinryu walked out from behind a tree and faced Kaname Tosen 4th seat of squad 9. Kaname pulled out his sword and sighed for few seconds.

"For the sake of not interfering with our plan I must destroy you".

"I don't even know your plan but if it requires you to kill me I won't let it happen". Rinryu pulled out his sword and ran at Kaname.

The two shinigami clashed swords for awhile until Kaname jumped high into the sky and raised his sword up.

"Suzumushi Nishiki Benihiko!!" As Kaname swung his sword he sent wave after wave of long slender blades at Rinryu.

After the smoke cleared blood lay all over the ground and Rinryu was not there. Kaname put his sword away and walked away knowing he won for Leutinent Aizen.

"Are they gone yet Captain? Rinryu asked as blood kept coming out from the wound on his shoulders.

"Yes they are gone do not worry. Don't mind my asking but just who are you anyway? Yoruichi asked the young man who bled by the tree.

"My name is Rinryu Shiro and-

"Don't talk, we'll discuss this back in my private office after your wound has been tended to" Yoruichi said grabbing him and flash stepping away. Rinryu wondered why Captain Shihouin saved him but decided to tell her about his past if she asked. "I also wonder what Leutinent Aizen could be plotting, let's hope I find out soon".
