It was mid day and the sun was high, everything seemed peaceful as the heat beat down on the soul society. The squad two barracks were not quite today, seeing as how it was the time for everyone to train in hand to hand combat. Soi-Fon oversaw as the rest of her squad fought one another in high speed combat. Of course the 3rd seat Hikari Okami was no where to be found and when the captain noticed she became angry. "That dumbass didn't show again...I swear when I see him I'm going to beat his lazy ass" she growled under her began to search the squad barracks for her subordinate and she eventually found him in the underground hot spring which was formerly the training hall. "HIKARI!"
"Oh hey captain, what seems to be the trouble?" he said as he looked back at her from where he was sitting on one of the rocks on the side of the hot spring wearing all of his clothes.
"Don't play innocent...you didn't show up for training again" she growled at him.
"Sorry captain, i got a little preoccupied" he chuckled a bit as Soi-Fon landed a punch to the top of his head, leaving a large whelp on his skull.
"There is no need to be so rude Soi-Fon" a deep yet soothing voice said to her from the water of the hot spring. She looked to see a black cat with dark yellow eyes swimming in the water. She recognized it as Yoruichi and immediately changed her expression to one of of joy.
"L-Lady Yoruichi!" she said in shock at the sight of her mentor.
"Forgive me captain, but Lady Yoruichi arrived unexpectedly and asked me to show her to where the hot springs where since she wasn't 100% familiar with the new barracks layout" he apologized as he picked up Yoruichi out of the water and gently dried her fur off which shocked Soi-Font at how freely he was touching her. "There you are, all nice and soft" he said as he picked the cat up in his arms and proceeded to gently pet her, causing her to purr which made Soi-Fon's face go bright red. "Is something worng captain?" Hikari said confused as he continued to pet Yoruichi.
"Y-You fool! Why are you touching Lady Yoruichi so freely!? It's so indecent!" she yelled at him. He stopped and looked down at the former 2nd Division captain in his arms and held her out to Soi-Fon by putting his hands under her arms.
"Do you want to pet her captain?" he asked. Before she could respond the building shook from a large explosion nearby and the alarms were sounded in all squad barracks alerting them to prepare for battle. "Looks like we have work to do" he said as he sat down Yoruichi and stood up, popping his neck and back before he grabbed his zanpakuto from where he had leaned it. "My apologies Lady Yoruichi, but I will be leaving now" he said bowing to the cat and he and Soi-Fon flash stepped away.
"All squad members, head to the southern armory!" a voice said through several hell butterflies that flew through the Seireitei.
"We will discuss your actions later Hikari" Soi-Fon said as the two of them flash stepped through towards their destination at a rapid pace with the rest of squad two and the stealth force right behind them.
Meanwhile at the armory, a group two men in long brown hooded cloaks were rummaging though the hidden room, collecting several boxes as well as a long staff wrapped in a brown cloth which covered it entirely. "Hurry up, we don't have much time until they show up" the one holding the staff said to the one moving boxes.
"I'm moving these things as fast as i can, it would help if you actually helped me!" he yelled as he stacked them in a pile between the two of them. "Hen'i" he mumbled as he performed several hand seals causing the boxes to become enveloped in red spirit energy which caused them to vanish.
"They are here" the one holding the staff said as he and his accomplice exited the building to find it surrounded by hundreds of soul reapers as well as two captains, Soi-Fon and Ukitake as well as the lieutenants and 3rd seats of each division.
"You're surrounded, there is no where to run" Ukitake said to the two intruders.
"Looks like we are in a pickle Kageyama, what do you wanna do?" the one without the staff asked.
"Patience Rin, we wanted this to happen, remember?" Kageyama said as he removed his hood from his cloak to show he had long sleek black hair which went down to his shoulders, a young pale face and green eyes.
"So you are really going to use it huh?" Rin asked as his partner unwrapped the staff to show it was a gold color with a long curved blade on each end. he spun the staff in one hand out to the side and stopped it before pointing it at Soi-Fon with a smirk on his face.
"Hikari, take care of these clowns" she said to her 3rd seat who drew his sword.
"As you command" he said with an expressionless as he disappeared and reappeared behind Kageyama who used flash step to dodge the swing from Hikari's sword. "He's fast!" Hikari said as he looked around for him to see he was crouched below Soi-Fon with the staff drawn back in one hand and before she had a chance to react he pierced her through the chest with the blade, letting it come out her back. "Captain!" he yelled as he ran to her as the blade on staff began to glow as golden yellow reiatsu was sucked from the second division captain as he pulled the blade from her chest, leaving no visible wound on her.
"What..." Soi-Fon said as her zanpakuto was taken from her back and held by Kageyama.
"Thanks for this captain" he teased he as she collapsed on the ground and he blacked a surprise swing from and enraged Hikari with the body of the staff.
"You bastard...what did you do to her!?" he yelled as he jumped back to dodge the swing of a blade. He saw that the blade he had just dodged was Suzumebachi, now being used by the enemy.
"You saved a huge amount of time by coming here Captain Soi-Fon, having to look for you would have taken forever" he sneered as he flash stepped over to Rin using the same level of speed that Soi-Fon uses. Hikari, and Omaeda both charged at him and attemped to impale him from both sides, only to have him and his partner vanish in an instant.
"What the hell just happened?" Omaeda said confused as everyone ran to help Soi-Fon.
"Call squad 4 immediately!" Ukitake ordered several of his squad.
"Captain! Captain!" Hikari yelled as he held Soi-Fon in his arms trying to get her to wake up.
