I do not own Bleach. I suggest you read Summer Blood before reading this, but hey, it's your choice.
~Kyoraku mansion inner courtyard~
"Kairi! Just show me what you found!" A boy who looked to be about 18 chased his twin sister around in a circle.
"Nope! You need to guess first." Both were wearing Shin'o Academy uniforms. Kairi had finally managed to become as fast as her brother with Shunpo.
"Come on! Just show me!" Kyoya tried to grab his sister's long curly black hair, but missed.
"Hey! No hair pulling. I finally got it untangled." Kairi was jealous of her brother's straight brown hair. She had hair like her father's, but black. Curly and a pain to take care of.
"If you showed me then I wouldn't have to resort to it." Kyoya was getting tired of chasing his sister around. He then grinned thinking of a plan. He stopped and went the other way, but when he reached for the book he missed and fell.
"That's not gonna work." Kairi had anticipated that he would do that. "I'll show you since I don't want mom to find out." She held up a tattered looking blue note book. "It's in mom's hand writing. It's full of kido spells she created."
Kyoya had the book in his hands and was flipping through the pages. He found one that looked interesting. "Hana Bokuso-chi?" Flowers began popping up in the courtyard till it was filled with flowers. "Wow. How did mom come up with this?"
Kairi looked around her at all the flowers. 'So much for mom not knowing.' She had found it in a box in the attic when she was looking for research material for school. They had a project due on 'Aizen's rebellion and fall', and since her mother was there for it she thought there would be something there, but all she found was the notebook. "Give it back before you do something stupid." She held her hand out for the notebook.
"I want to try another one." He flipped through the pages. The came across one with hearts written all over the boarder of the page. 'Add name of person on end.' He read in the instructions then shrugged his shoulder. "Ai Shiken, Ukitake Ame." A blue heart appeared over his head. "The book says blue means sibling love. Cool!" Kyoya thought of different ways he could use that kido.
"Now you're being ridiculous. Give me that." She grabbed the notebook out of his hands before he could find another one to try.
"Why don't you try one?" Kyoya wanted to try all of the kido. They were interesting, and pretty fun to try.
Kairi rolled her eyes, but opened the book to the last page. "Fine. I'll try this one." She took a deep breath. "Chuku Jikan."
Nothing happened. They looked around to see if anything had changed.
"Well that sucked." Kyoya was disappointed that the kido hadn't worked. "Let's go see if din-" he stopped when he saw that the wind had picked up.
Kairi and Kyoya looked at the sky. Storm clouds had rolled in and looked like they were swirling around in multiple places, but didn't disrupt each other. They watched as columns of cloud fell down towards the ground.
"Kairi! Kyoya!" Nanao had run out of the house to call her children in before the storm started. She stared horrified as a pillar of cloud engulfed her children. "KAIRI! KYOYA!" She ran towards her children, but when she got to them the cloud evaporated and they were both gone.
All she found was an old tattered notebook on the ground. She recognized what it was and stare in horror at the page it was opened to. Half the page was missing and she couldn't remember what parts where missing.
"Nanao? What's wrong? Where are Kairi and Kyoya?" Shunsui walked out of the house. His two younger children clung to his back. He saw his wife sitting on the ground, her small frame shaking. He put down his two kids. "I'm going to go see what mommy's up to." He walked towards Nanao with a worried face. He could tell his two eldest children had been there, but he couldn't feel their Reiatsu anywhere else.
"Their gone. I lost them. They're gone and it's all my fault." Nanao broke down crying in her husbands arms.
"What are you talking about?" He saw the notebook in her hands. He had seen it once, but it was long before he married Nanao. "What's in the notebook?"
Nanao calmed herself down enought to answer her husband. "It's kidos I had created. Most are harmless, but there are a few that I knew should never be used." She still had tears running down her face.
"It looks like they found a harmless one." Shunsui looked at all the flowers in the courtyard. They hadn't been there before.
"Yes, but they also found a dangerous one. It's not one that's causes harm, but it still causes damage." Nanao sat up more and looked into her husband's eyes. "They found one that let's them travel through time. It also opens other portals that drag others in, but I don't know what the pattern is for that. It's been a while since I've seen this book." She began to cry again. "Why didn't I destroy it instead of hiding it away?"
"Maybe because this is suppose to happen? Maybe it's something you need to endure?" He held his wife as she cried. He could hear other cries from other places nearby. 'It seems we're not the only ones suffering.'
~Kairi & Kyoya~
The wind around them was strong. They had heard their mother call them, but the couldn't move towards her.
"Mom!" Kairi yelled at the top of her lungs. No reply came from beyond the wall of cloud.
It evaporated around them. They found themselves in the same courtyard they had just been in, but there were no flowers. They looked around trying to find out what had happened.
"Well, that was weird." Kyoya said while looking around.
Kairi looked at him like he had just vomited Hollows. "Weird? WEIRD!? We just got caught in a tornado and are now in some strange place. This is terrible!" Kairi was starting to panic.
"Don't worry so much. Let's go find mom or dad and get this sorted out." Kyoya tugged on his sister's arm and they both headed off towards their father's workplace, 1st squad barracks in Seireitei.
They stopped to get their bearings just outside 8th squad barracks. Kairi quickly pushed her brother around the corner shushing him.
"What are you-" Kairi shushed her brother's protests as they heard a familiar voice.
They peaked around the corner to confirm their suspicions. They were right.
Their father stood not ten feet from him chatting with a tall woman that did not look like their mother. "Lisa-chan. Stop saying things like that in front of the squad." Kyoraku pulled down his sakkat to hide the blush on his face that matched his kimono.
"I was only telling the truth, Kyoraku-Taichou." Lisa followed Kyoraku while fixing her glasses.
They heard something behind them. They both turned to see two Academy students lying on top of each other staring at the two with open mouths.
"I didn't know the Academy had a holiday today. I also didn't know students were allowed in Seireitei without an escort of some sort." Kyoraku smiled mischievously at the two. They looked like siblings.
"Sorry to disturb you. We were just looking for our parents. They told us to meet them at 1st squab barracks, but we seemed to have gotten lost." Kairi easily created a lie. She had done so multiple times before. She had picked herself up and was helping Kyoya up.
"Oh. Well I'm sure we can help with that." Kyoraku was about to offer show them the way to get out of work, but his Fukutaichou interrupted.
"I'm sure one of our squad members can show you where it is." Lisa waved towards a small girl in the squab building. "Ise-chan! Can you show these two to first squad barracks?"
Kairi and Kyoya turned to see a child version of their mother walk towards them with a fairly large book in her hands. Both their jaws dropped again.
"Of course I can, Yadomaru-Fukutaichou." Nanao looked up at the two gawking students. "Yes I'm small, but I'm still your senior."
The siblings closed their mouths and sweat dropped. 'Yep this is our mother alright.' Both thought. They both said goodbye to Kyoraku and his Fukutaichou then followed little Nanao to first squad. When they got their they said fair well to their mini mother.
"I don't think this is our timeline." Kairi was definitely sure of that.
"So, was that kido one that sends people through time?" Kyoya couldn't believe that to be true, but what else explained what they were experiencing. "Do you still have the note book?"
Kairi held up the torn page. "Nope, and this doesn't help." Kairi felt like crying, but she held it in. "Let's ask the Soutaichou if he can help. If this is before dad was Soutaichou, that means the Soutaichou is Yamamoto-san." Kairi turned to walk into 1st squad barracks.
"That is true." They both looked to see an old man walking out of the barracks. "What business does two Academy students have here?"
Kairi spoke before her brother could say a word. "We were students at the Academy, but circumstances caused our records to be lost. We were wondering if you could readmit us to our current years." Kairi stood tall not showing fear or worry. And what she said was mostly true.
"Interesting. Nothing like that has ever happened." Yamamoto ran his hand though his long beard.
"And we would hate to tarnish that record." Kyoya pushed his glasses farther up his nose.
Kairi couldn't believe her brother just threatened the Soutaichou. "Can you help us?" She put on her face that she used when ever she wanted something from her father. It always worked.
"I will see what I can do. You will most likely need to test into the year you were previously in. Follow me and I will see that it is done today." Yamamoto couldn't resist the pleading face the young girl was giving him. He turned and headed to the Academy.
He had expected to have to wait a while for the siblings to show up, but he turned to find them right behind him. He was surprised, but he remembered they said they were Academy students. "What year did you say you were in?"
Kairi smiled at the old man. "Fourth going on fifth."
Yamamoto nodded. The year was indeed ending, but they seemed too low of a year for their skill level. He walked towards the head office. He turned back and looked at the two. "One of you follow me to properly explain the situation." He walked into the office.
Kairi and Kyoya looked at each other. Kiari shrugged and followed Yamamoto inside.
"So did you find your parents?" Kyoya turned to find Kyoraku behind him with some one who looked like his uncle, Ukitake Jushiro.
"You know him?" The white haired Taichou asked his friend.
"Yep. This young man and his sister got lost outside my squad barracks. So one of my subordinates showed them their way. Aren't you lucky? You get to meet with two Taichous toady." Kyoraku smiled at the two.
"There you two are." They all turned to find Yamamoto walking out of the office with Kiari following close behind him. "I need you two to test these two into sixth year." He handed them both a file and smiled at them. He then walked back towards the entrance of the school.
"I thought you two were looking for your parents?" Kyoraku raised and eyebrow at the pair.
"We were. We found them and found out why they had to talk to us before we headed back here. Apparently our records were lost. They didn't even know who we were, let alone that we were students." Kairi explained while seeming stressed by their situation.
"Well that's not good." Kyoraku turned and started walking towards a testing room. "I don't believe we have introduced our selves." He opened the door to a room and waited for everyone to enter before stepping in and closing the door. "I am Kyoraku Shunsui, 8th squad Taichou." Kyoraku tipped the front of his sakkat before going towards the only table in the room and sitting down.
"And I am Ukitake Jushiro, 13th squad Taichou." Ukitake smiled at the two students then went and sat by his friend.
Kairi was about to speak when her brother spoke first. "I am Kyoraku Kyoya. This is my twin sister Kyoraku Kairi." Kairi kept a straight face while she kept herself from yelling at her brother and beating him up.
"Kyoraku?" Ukitake turned to his stunned friend. "Anything I should know about?"
Kyoraku didn't know what to say. 'I have never done that with out protection, I don't have any relatives except for my brother, he doesn't have any children, and we have no other relatives. Who are these children?' He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice his friend worrying about him.
"Are you nuts? You know dad doesn't have any relatives other than his brother. And he doesn't have kids yet." Kairi was yelling at her brother in a whisper.
"I don't see a problem with using our names. Dad said we should be proud of who we are." Kyoya didn't understand why his sister was so mad.
Neither twin noticed that he had spoken louder than a whisper till they heard a reply.
"That's a good saying." They both turned to their father. "Mind if I use it?" Both of them shook their heads. "Thank you. Sorry for the wait. That just shocked me a little, but let's see if you can live up to the expectations people have of that name." Kyoraku had managed to recover from the shock of hearing their family name and was now sitting ready to test them.
"Let's start with the oldest." Jushiro was glad his friend had recovered. He had never seen him like that. He watched as Kairi stepped forward and Kyoya stepped to the side. "Let's see how powerful your Reiatsu is."
Kairi let her Reiatsu out little by little until it was almost half way. "Thank you. You can bring it down now." Kyoraku was surprised at her power. She was very close to Fukutaichou level and could still draw out more. He felt the humidity in the room drop as well. 'Looks like a water type.'
"Now for the other." Jushiro watched as Kairi and Kyoya switched places and exchange glances and hushed words. "Let's see how well you do."
Kyoya did as his sister had, but not as slow. His increased dramatically and he completely ignored his sister telling him not to go all out. He raised it as high as he could, which was well beyond the level of a Taichou. No one saw his sister flash step beside him.
"Idiot!" Kairi hit her brother on the top of his head. His Reiatsu level dropped back to normal. "Didn't I just tell you not to do that? Can't you listen to me for once in your life? If mom was here she would kill you then punish your corpse as she revived you! "
"Well to bad she isn't but dad is." Kyoya instantly had his sister's hand over his mouth.
Kairi couldn't believe her brother had just said what he did. She heard two chairs move and two sets of feet walk towards them. "This is your fault." She flicked her brother's forehead in frustration then stood up and faced the two Taichous.
"Care to explain what he said?" Kyoraku didn't like being lied to. He was surprised at how good the young girl was at lying, but could tell the brother wasn't so good.
"Only with Yamaji present." Kairi knew that was what her father called Yamamoto-Soutaichou. She saw the effects, when he looked at her in surprise.
"Very well. Let's go." He walked out of the room. Kairi and Kyoya followed with Ukitake looking confused behind them. They all headed to the Soutaichou's office.
Let me know of it's going to fast. Please leave a comment.
