Noble's Insanity (Chapter 1 - Bad Omen)
It was a cold and cloudy day in Karakura Town as Ichigo was sitting on a bench, watching his younger sister Karin play in her Soccer Tournament. "Hey, Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime exclaimed to Ichigo as she walked up to him with Uryu and Rukia at her side. "Hey...what are you all doing here? I thought you all went to hat-and-clogs' place." Ichigo asked as he watched Karin make another goal.
"Urahara-san has requested you to come to his shop, Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime chimed. Ichigo sighed before standing and stretching and tells them "Alright...just let me wait for Karin's game to finish." Uryu adjusts his glasses before replying "Very well, Kurosaki-san" and the three stand with Ichigo.
After half an hour, Ichigo drops Karin off at home and makes his way to the Urahara Shop with Orihime, Rukia and Uryu. "Ah, Kurosaki-san! It's good to see you again!" Urahara exclaimed before avoiding a soul pager thrown by Ichigo. "What the hell do you want hat-and-clogs?!" Ichigo yelled angrily at Urahara. "That's so mean to do...Kurosaki-san..." Urahara fake pouted. This just caused Ichigo to glare at the shop owner.
"Calm down Ichigo" Yoruichi said before walking into the room, signaling for the other three to leave. Once the three are out of the room, Yoruichi sits down with Ichigo and Urahara. "Now Kurosaki-kun, we need you to go to Soul Society and deliver these goods to Twelve Division Kurotsuchi-taicho and give the Head-taicho this report." Urahara states seriously before pushing an envelope across the table to Ichigo. Ichigo picked up the envelope and looked it over before asking "What's this all about?"
Urahara and Yoruichi look at each other before both nod and look back at Ichigo. "You see, Ichigo" Yoruichi started "It's about the Bounts and Arrancars we have all met. It's to help us discover if any new ones of either kind appear again in this world but it needs to be modified with the new system in Division Twelve barracks. So...we decided to send you since the Head-taicho has requested to speak with you." Urahara finished. "Wha...what? Why does the Head-taicho want to speak?" Ichigo asked, almost nervous. Urahara just smiled before replying "That's completely confidential till you get there. Now, off with you!"
After arguing with Urahara for about twenty minutes, Ichigo separated from his body and passed through the Senkaimon Urahara had conjured up. He didn't notice that the bad feeling he had been getting since the Senkaimon opened was true until Shirosaki, his insane inner hollow, started to talk in his head. "Stay on yer' toes Ichigo..." Shirosaki quietly told his host. Ichigo thought it was odd the way Shirosaki had said that and was about to ask his inner hollow what he meant when there was a loud buzzing sound in his ears and a deep laugh in his head. Before he knew what was even happening, the buzzing and deep laugh had disappeared and his vision went black.
It was actually relatively nice out in Seireitei; no Arrancars, no Bounts, no Quincy's, no idiot substitute Shinigami...all was enjoyable for the noble Shinigami taicho in months. Byakuya Kuchiki was minding his own business as usual at Division 6 barracks and finishing his paperwork when Renji Abarai barged in and yelled "Kuchiki-taicho! Have you seen Rukia and Ichigo?"
Byakuya looked up slowly at his red-haired lieutenant, hiding his irritation behind his calm exterior. "No, I have not. Last I heard…Rukia and Kurosaki Ichigo left to Karakura Town early this morning."
"Oh…alright. Thank you Kuchiki-taicho!" Renji said before running out of Byakuya's office. Byakuya sighed and messaged his temples for he had been working eighteen hours straight without a break and was now accumulating a headache. Off in the distance he could hear a storm brewing, making him inwardly groan. He had never been fond of storms after Hisana's death, now reminding him of his despair instead of making him feel at peace.
When he turned to start on his work again, the warning alarm suddenly went off, signaling an intruder in Seireitei. He turned abruptly to the window after he stood when he saw a flash of red and black, only to see more flashes of white covering what remained. He quickly shunpo's halfway to the First Division and was about to run the rest of the way but stopped when he saw a flash of red and black again…only it was closer to the Rukon District then it had the first time. Renji appears next to Byakuya, worry creased on his face.
"Kuchiki-taicho, you go on ahead to the Head-taicho and I'll deal with whatever trouble is here!" Renji declared to Byakuya. "No, you are to go to the Head-taicho in my place…I have to be somewhere else at the moment" Byakuya states before he shunpo's away without waiting for a response. Renji just watched Byakuya shunpo's away, curious as to why his taicho would dismiss meeting the Head-taicho but soon dismissed it himself and shunpo's to the First Division.
Byakuya had just gotten to the gate that separates Seireitei and the Rukon District from each other when he saw another flash of black and red coming from the Izinari District. "That power and color…why is Ichigo here? What's going on?" Byakuya thought along with others he wasn't paying as much attention to. All he knew was that Ichigo was, judging by the color of the flashes mixed the flashes of lightning and the spiritual pressure, and that something was wrong…terribly wrong if Ichigo was causing it. He didn't like ever not knowing what was happening around him; it had always unsettled him. With an unknown burst of energy determination and curiosity, Byakuya took off towards the Izinari District with an unnatural tightening in his chest that didn't understand...the lightning flashing and thunder booming all around. Little did he know this storm was anything but normal and should have been taken as a bad omen for the normally calm nobleman.
