Chapter One: Upon Returning
Flashback
A young girl stood in line along with many other shinigami that had just graduated. It was surprising to see a girl no more than 8 years of age standing with students that were clearly older and taller than her. But she took no note of that, all that mattered was that she graduated at a young age which made shinigami history. As the graduates waited for the captains of the Gotei 13 to choose their new recruit, they nervously shifted in their spot. The girl however, remained calm as one by one, names were called.
She finally heard her name and she raised her head slightly to see who had called upon her behalf, which turned out to be Yoruichi Shihouin.
" I heard you have high spiritual energy. I think you'll do well under my teaching in special forces, Reimei Tanaka. " The girl, Reimei, meekly took her place behind her new captain. After a few more selection was made, each captain lead their new recruits back to their division. As everyone got settled down, Reimei was called to meet up with Yoruichi. She meekly stepped into the office and bowed in respect before speaking.
" Yoruichi-sama, you wish to speak with me? "
" Hey, Hey, don't need to be so formal. Just Yoruichi-san or Yoruichi. " Reimei nodded confusingly as to why a superior didn't want to be addressed formally. It was only natural since she was at a lower class.
" Hai, Yoruichi-sam...Yoruichi-san. " corrected Reimei. The woman in front of her smiled and then began to speak.
" I've decided to train you personally, seeing as how you have potential. So everyday, you are to meet me early in the morning and train til the afternoon. After that, you'll resume duties here in the division and the days will continue on the same til further notice. " Reimei nodded, even though she didn't show it, she was rather excited that she was being trained personally under Yoruichi-san. She has heard that she was the master at foot combat (shunpo or flashsteps) and hand to hand combat. But overall, she was a powerful shinigami.
" Don't need to act so shy. " chuckled Yoruichi as she walked over and knelt down in front of Reimei, who was sitting on her knees. Yoruichi patted the small girl's head, slightly ruffling her shoulder length raven hair that shone a dark violet colour in the light. Reimei couldn't help but blush from emberassment, considering she was only a child, the other students didn't really acknowledge her much in the academy.
" You're a true child prodigy. Already graduating at such a young age. " praised Yoruichi, Reimei blinked her dark onyx eyes. Her new teacher smiled at her and got up to do whatever there is that needs to be done, " I must be off now, you may go and look around your division. Just to get a familiar sense to it. " Reimei nodded her head and bowed before leaving the office.
Days passed and as promised, Reimei had been seeing Yoruichi every morning before the sun fully rises. Reimei had progressed well and Yoruichi took notice of that. During that time, Reimei had also managed to master her shikai form and had recently obtained bankai form. As days of training soon became years, Reimei had become a well-known shinigami throughout Seireitei. One night, Reimei had quietly slipped into Yoruichi's office to discuss a simple matter that she had on her mind for a while now.
" Yoruichi-san, I wish to leave Soul Society. I want to train on my own now in seclusion. I want to see what I'm able to accomplish. " Yoruichi looked puzzled at the 10 year old. Even though she was still young, she was mature for her age and always wore somewhat of a blank expression.
" My departure would be discreet, I felt the need to tell you of it because you are after all, the one who taught me mostly everything. " Yoruichi was a bit speechless, not knowing how to comment on this sudden need to leave but acknowledged it nonetheless. Reimei looked expectantly at her sensei, wondering how she'll react to this. Yoruichi finally finding her voice, spoke at last.
" If you think its the right choice to be able to perfect your techniques then you have the right to leave. I won't say a single word about your sudden disappearance. " Reimei smiled thankfully at Yoruichi.
" I'll be leaving tonight since in daylight I might get spotted. "
" Take care then Reimei-chan. " Reimei hugged her sensei, showing her gratitude for the years of training as Yoruichi returned the embrace. With one last bow, Reimei flashstepped into the night. Yoruichi sighed but knew that Reimei would make an excellent shinigami and that someday, she'll return when she's ready.
End of Flashback
Reimei's POV
It's been a couple of years since that day, I remembered it clearly. I sped through the night with the full moon hanging in the night sky, I can't help but wonder how much Seireitei might've changed since I've been gone. After the day I left, I started training with my zanpakuto, Tsumetai Kaze(Cold/Icy Wind). Interesting enough, my zanpakuto controlled over the elements of ice and wind but along my travels, I picked up another blade. The second blade was much more powerful but I hardly use it since it controlled over the element of darkness. If the time calls for it, then I'm just as skilled with Tsukuyomi(Moonreader).
My surroundings blurred as I raced towards Seireitei. The ends of the red sash that was tied around my stomach fluttered behind me as I ran. The navy blue skirt I was wearing reached about a couple of inches past mid-thigh had small slits about 3 inches up to make it easier to move around. Under that I wore black short shorts and to complete my outfit, I wore a purple top with sleeves that reached to my elbow and a V-neck along with a loose white scarf around my neck.(A/N: The scarf isnt wrapped around like Byakuya's, its wrapped around her neck maybe twice with two ends of the scraf trailing behind her back) Tsumetai Kaze was strapped to my back diagonally while Tsukuyomi was strapped horizontally in the red sash also. (A/N: So basically her outfit looks like Temari's when they were rescuing Sasuke)
As I ran along farther, I could faintly see the unbelievably tall walls of Seireitei. The soft patter of my sandals every once in a while seemed louder in the dead night to my ears(A/N: Like the ones Nemu wears except they're black). I smirked a bit as I drew nearer, maybe Seireitei might've not changed but I sure did. My shoulder length hair became longer til it reached to my waist. It streaked gracefully behind me, I obviously became more mature; namely my body and height but I was still pretty short, much to my disliking and the colour of my eyes had mixed to a hazy dark purple.
I stopped just about a km away from Soul Society and slouched my shoulders a bit.
" Oi, oi. why did you stop? " asked Tsukuyomi in a sarcastic monotone. I rolled my eyes at his tone, he always sounds like he's not interested in anything.
" The problem is how we're going to get in... " I muttered. It was the truth, the gates of Seireitei were guarded heavily and the walls were made of steel except maybe 10 times stronger.
" Then just use me to get in, simple as that..." replied Tsukuyomi, " It's obvious we can't FLY over the wall, the stupid shield would just send us flying all the way to the human world. "
" And what was THAT suppose mean? My voice is the only thing that's gentle about me..." snapped Tsumetai Kaze. I sighed, Tsukuyomi does have a point since he's the element of darkness and all but he's not really the blade I mainly use. So I decided to just put my two cents in to calm Tsumetai Kaze, she can be a little short tempered when it comes to Tsukuyomi remarks and snide comments.
" Hey, hey. Tsukuyomi does have a point, the barrier surrounding Seireitei is made to rebound any spiritual energy. The only way to get through it is to use Tsukuyomi's dark element to sneak past the guards. "
" Or scare them to death." smirked Tsukuyomi.
" Right..that's beside the point but it's just those one timer thing for him. You know I mainly use you right Tsumetai Kaze? " I smiled. I heard her chuckle lightly, " But keep in mind you're both useful to me whether I use the other more often. " I said and began to run towards one of the gates. I slowed down when I was a couple of meters away and started to advance in a slow walking pace, just ahead I could see the gatekeeper, Jidanbo was it? If I could faintly remember, I took the west gate to leave Seireitei. Hopefully, he still remembers me.
" I highly doubt that gorilla remembers..." commented Tsukuyomi.
" Oh shut up... " I muttered back. As I neared the gate, Jidanbo spotted me. He stood up straight and glowered down at me, making it seem intimidating but I stood staring back up at him unfazed.
" Who goes there?! " His voice was the usual booming one and could possibly wake all of Seireitei. I frowned, causing them to raise the alarm was definitely the last thing on my mind.
" Can you keep it down? You wouldn't want to disturb anyone from their beauty sleep. " I said loud enough for him to hear.
" If you wish to enter Seireitei you must defeat me! " He drew his large axes and I drew Tsukuyomi.
" Make this one quick, he doesn't deserve half of my strength. " I rolled my eyes at him again and muttered lowly his command, " Leer, Tsukuyomi. " His blade changed from a normal black katana to one with a black hilt and a red dragon coiling around it, the tsuba was gold with swirling clouds for the designs and the blade gleamed in the moonlight, reflecting a small kanji that read night. The blade was thick(A/N: Like Benihime's) compared to Tsumetai Kaze which was rather slim. Taking Tsukuyomi's advice, I decided to end this quick by making the first move.
" Kokuangyō. (Bringer of Darkness) " I said lowly as I held Tsukuyomi upwards in front of me. Glowing red eyes glared behind my back but I remained unfazed as the whole surrounding area flooded into complete darkness, not even the moon's light was able to shine through it. There was absolutely nothing but black.
I swiftly moved towards the confused looking Jidanbo and quickly disarmed him buy slicing his ax's tops off. He was shocked at how suddenly his axes broke. I saw him look around cautiously but in this attack, I'm invisible to the human eye or in this case, a shinigami's eyes too. Or the gate's keeper eyes...Oh forget it, the point is, I was invisible either way. I meleed Jidanbo in the stomach hard and basically used hand to hand combat only. He was still confused on where to strike which gives me an advantage. A major advantage, I swiftly knocked him off his feet with a strong kick that nearly costed me my own leg but pulled it off as the giant came tumbling down. I back-flipped a distance away from him and sheathed Tsukuyomi which made the darkness disappear. Everything reverted back to the still of night where the moon clearly shone in the sky.
Jidanbo stood up shakily and was shocked to see me standing in the same spot.
" My axes...How did you...? " he stuttered, " My axes!! T.T " He finally sobbed. I rolled my eyes, he truly was a gentle giant. I strode over to him and patted his shoulder in sympathy.
" It's ok...I'll get you new ones...Some point..." I muttered. He sniffed and looked at me.
" You are clearly an opponent I cannot match up to, you are allowed to pass since you have shown me great skills of a warrior and are worthy of entering. " He said, bowing his head. I waved it off, Jidanbo turned around to his gate and lifted it til it was high enough for me to pass.
" Thanks a lot Jidanbo. " I smiled and flash stepped into Seireitei just as I heard the gate shut again. Hopefully, no one heard the gate opening and won't get suspicious. I crept through Seireitei's maze of shinigami residents, sticking close to the shadows in hopes of not getting caught. Since I was considered maybe an Ex-Shinigami, I had to see Yamamoto-soutaicho to get 'permission' to go around Seireitei without being caught and arrested for no apparent reason.
I started heading towards the first division but then a shinigami night guard appeared, I quickly dashed behind a wall to avoid being seen. Pressing my back against the wall, I took out a black piece of cloth to tie over my mouth, covering half of my face.
" Great, now you look like a thief or something. Way to make an impression... " Tsukuyomi pointed out, I rolled my eyes. At least if anyone catches me, they won't get a good look of my face and that would allow me to sneak around Seireitei more like a fellow shinigami without being suspected. I smirked momentarily before peering out from behind the wall.
" You've influenced her..." muttered Tsumetai Kaze moodily. I chuckled at her remark and slipped around the corner again towards the first division, seeing as how the guard had left to patrol some other area. Just when I rounded a corner and was about to climb into one of the windows...
" HEY! YOU!! Stop right there!! " came a male voice, my eyes went wide as I turned around to see one of the shinigami night guards.
' Uh oh...' I thought and quickly knocked him out but that only caused more of a problem because apparently, his shouts were heard and more shinigami guards came rushing to the scene.
' Shimitta! '
" Hey! " shouted one of the guards, ready to take out their katanas but I made a swift getaway. But then, matters turn into a worse case scenario.
" Red alert! There is an intruder in Seireitei! I repeat! There is an intruder in Seireitei! " Was the alert that rang throughout the night, I had to restrain myself from crying out loud in frustration. These people piss me off! They ruined my entrance by being loud. I sped through the winding walls of Seireitei, taking random turns just hoping that I didn't run into any guards, lieutenants, seated officers or worse...Captains. Fighting a captain from the Gotei 13 was the last thing I needed considering how troublesome it would be. I skidded to a stop when I was confronted by a squad that must've been organized to catch me.
" Stop right there! " shouted one of the guards as they prepared to come at me with their drawn out katanas.
' I gotta keep moving or else the whole party will get here in no time.' I thought, ' But I can't kill any of them, that'll just make me a killer and it'll give them more of a reason to arrest me. '
" Why don't we just, 'blow them away?' " suggested Tsumetai Kaze, sensing her smirk inside my mind. It caused me to smirk too as I drew out Tsumetai Kaze from her sheath and called out her command.
" Blow them away, Tsumetai Kaze! " I shouted and the once sky blue katana turned into a mix of silver and a slightly darker blue along with its sheath. Embroded in the sword near the tsuba(which was silver) were feather designs that surrounded a kanji for wind (its in the base of the blade, just above the tsuba) and trailing behind at the end of the hilt was a royal blue ribbon.
" Fūsajin! (Dust Wind). " I shouted before swiping my blade in the air in a horizontal motion. A huge gust of wind was created and blew the guards off to the side, creating a pathway for me. I ran past the guards who were pinned up against the wall on either side by my wind and sped around another corner in hopes I won't encounter anymore shinigamis.
' The dust from that attack should slow down anyone who runs through that path considering how slippery it is. ' I thought, 'Let's just hope the Captains won't be the ones I'll encounter next time. '
Elsewhere Normal POV
As soon as the alert went off, the Gotei 13 were sent out to capture the intruders. Kenpachi had sped off on his own to look for the enemy, most likely looking for a good fight. Everyone else had organized a squad with their lieutenants and soon took off on their own to search around Seireitei.
" Ne, ne Taicho...Do you have any idea why someone would intrude Seireitei at this time of night? " spoke Matsumoto as she followed the 10th division Captain, Hitsugaya Toushiro. He furrowed his eyebrows, even he couldn't come up a good reason that might answer her question.
" No. " He simply replied and continued to flash step. Matsumoto pouted a bit but left the subject, they'll find out sooner or later when the Ryoka is caught. A sudden explosion of wind currents erupted near they're area and both captain and lieutenant stopped in their tracks.
" What was that? "
" Looks like we found the Ryoka first..." muttered Hitsugaya as he sped towards the direction.
" Hey! Wait for me Taicho! " shouted Matsumoto as she followed him only to stop shortly when she caught him staring at the scene but then began slipping on her own two feet, she narrowly managed to catch herself before toppling over . The guards were somehow pushed up against the walls on either side, slightly slouching now with a faint trail of dust right in the middle but not leading anywhere.
" Everyone! What happened here? " asked Matsumoto, carefully maneuvering around the dust trail to help the lower seated officers.
" We confronted the Ryoka but he got away. " Matsumoto nodded and turned back to her taicho. He was kneeling on the ground inspecting the dust as it ran through his fingers.
" It's dust that was blown up by a strong wind current. And it looks like its made to slow down anyone who runs over this path, its slippery. " Hitsugaya let the last of the dust slip from his fingers before he stood back up, " The Ryoka might be a shinigami that has the element of wind for their zanpakuto. And is clearly well-trained, where'd he run off to? "
" Just down there. " replied a seated officer. Hitsugaya nodded and then flashstepped away towards the pointed direction with Matsumoto closely following. For a few minutes they ran around Seireitei in many directions but still couldn't track the Ryoka, Hitsugaya growled in annoyance, having been put in a wild goose chase and especially with a Ryoka who can hide their reiatsu just as good.
Just when he made another turn, cold air whizzed right by his cheek and a blur streaked right past him almost invisible to the eye. He stopped shortly and made a sharp turn back and began his pursuit after the Ryoka.
Back with Reimei
Oh shit! I just HAD to run by a captain of the Gotei 13 and now he's following me!!!! It's been so long since I last visited Seireitei and the stupid walls and turns confused me into going around in circles and now I got a stupid Captain after me!! I flashstepped as fast as I could go but this guy won't give up!
" Just calm down and just keep running! " scowled Tsumetai Kaze. I did as I was told and increased my speed faster, if that's even possible and started adding sharp turns in hopes of losing the captain. But I stopped suddenly when I almost ran right into a wall of ice that somehow magically appeared...Wait...Ice?
I stumbled back a bit, trying to regain my balance from my abrupt stop and stared up at the massive wall of ice that clearly blocked my path. I hastily turned around when I heard slowing footsteps behind me to find...a kid with the captain's robe on? Ok, maybe not a kid but the same age as me. I noticed that he had his zanpakuto out and immediately figured he was the one who made that wall of ice that's behind me. I could distinctly make out snow white hair and piercing aqua green eyes. Though I wouldn't admit it out loud, he was kinda cute.
" Don't move... " He commanded in a cold voice. I wasn't intimidated by his tone of voice so I just smirked underneath my cloth. If this guy uses ice element then I'll have no problem on that. But instead of fighting him right away, I'll just slip away. Using the walls as a boost, I jumped and flipped my way onto the rooftops and began running there. He followed suit and the chase was on again. I jumped down to the pathway again and started flashstepping from there but he STILL followed me.
' This guy is starting to piss me off! ' I soon realized a little too late that my mind couldn't wander to my thoughts for a second because I felt a creeping chill go up my ankles, almost reaching to my knees. I was frozen in the spot and I knew exactly who did it, I turned my upper body to see him advancing towards me with an expressionless face except the slight frown he wore. I quickly unsheathed Tsumetai Kaze and called out her wind attack.
" Kamaitachi! (Cutting Whirlwind) " I swiped my zanpakuto in one fluid, horizontal movement and a huge gust of wind erupted and flew right towards the young captain. He placed his arms up in defense, luckily he did since the wind also sliced his robes and arms a bit. While that was going on, I managed to pull free from my ice prison by driving Tsumetai Kaze through it. The ice broke almost instantly and I quickly made my way towards the captain. I placed Tsumetai Kaze to his throat just as the wind died down and he lowered his arms, he looked down at the blade near his throat and back at me with a glare. I smirked triumphantly under my mask but he probably couldn't see it, though he might have a sense that I was smirking at him.
I scoffed and said mockingly, just to tease him, " A captain of the Gotei 13 with only this much power, I'm not impressed. " He growled at me and lashed out violently which caught me off guard. I back-flipped a fair distance away from him and prepared to strike at him.
" Kamaitach-! " And all went black and I felt my body slump to the ground.
There we go, hope ya enjoyed that first chapter of my new story. Promise I'll try to get back to my fullmetal alchemistXbleach story k? but plz R&R on this story, tell me whatcha think mmk? ;)
