yeah, second fanfic. please read and review, constructive criticism is appreciative

"talking" thought and emphasis arrancar

you won't see the arrancar till next chapter.

sequel to "The Secret Royale Soul Reaper" please check it out, it is better than it sounds, at least according to the reviews, and it gets better as it goes. you don't have to read it though to understand everything, as they will be explained at some point throughout the story.

disclaimer: I do not own bleach or kaze no stigma, which is an awesome anime and I highly recommend it, and it is in english dub and it's better than most dubs.

This takes place about a year after the first story, about a year and a half after Aizen's war.


Two soul reapers were walking side by side down the street in the Seireitei, at dawn. One was an abnormally tall boy with messy brown hair and brown eyes, wearing his zanpakutou on his right hip. The second was half his height, but taller than Toushiro Hitsugaya. The boy had bright, blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing his sword, which the sheath is just as tall as he is, in the same fashion as Captain Hitsugaya.

"So, who should I prank on next, Iyou?" The shorter of the two asked.

"What? Is the famed Jidori Tomoshibi bored?"

"What? Is the famed Iyou Aitashugi asking? Or interrogating?"

The older of the two chuckled a little. "Frankly, I don't care who you target. As long as it isn't Captain Soi Fon."

"You think I'm insane? I'm never doing that again. I was tortured by Rangiku and that arrancar girl, Nel I think, and forced into some extremely embarrassing photos." The boy blushed at the mention of the photos. "The only better way to torture me is to shrink me down back to a four year old have Tsubaki, Rangiku, and my sis there." Jidori shuddered at the thought.

Iyou laughed. "And here I thought you couldn't get tortured! But you're still a chibi."

Jidori ran up ahead of his friend and faced him with his hands on his hips, pouting. "I am NOT a chibi! My captain, on the other hand, is! And I am taller than that paper-pushing, overworked, watermelon addicted midget!"

"Warning! Intruder in the Seireitei! Intruder in the Seireitei!" The loudspeakers echoed.

Jidori turned around as Iyou looked up slightly to see a black mass hitting the barrier.

"That'll never get through, right?" Iyou questioned.

"It's an interdimensional rift combined with some sort of high density barrier. That will get through, barely."

"How do you know that?"

"How did you think I got here in the first place? No dimension is out of my reach. Let's go and take care of these intruders before they do any damage."

"Right!" Both boys flash stepped away.

-

Both figures wore large black cloaks to hide their faces, and both had no other distinguishing features separating one from the other, standing on top of a wall. "Wonder how long it will take before someone arrives?"

"How about not long after you land? By order of the Soul Society, surrender now!" A very young voice gave them their answer.

Both men turned to find a tall boy with his sword drawn, but held in a reverse grip, and a child with a sword whose blade is as long as he is tall, though not drawn.

"Hmph! They send children against us! How insulting!" Before the man in black knew it, Iyou was in front of him and punched him, sending the man several yards into the street.

Iyou flash stepped down and closed the distance quickly, and was about to kick his adversary with his right foot. The man brought a scythe to bare, ready to cut off Iyou's foot. Iyou quickly stopped and spun to his right, kicking the man in the back of the head with the intended foot.

The man rolled forward, spun to his right, and swung down with his scythe. Iyou blocked it with his sword. He then shifted his right arm to his left, deflecting the scythe and giving Iyou the opportunity to stab the man in the face. Iyou took it, but the man ducked in time and jumped forward to get some distance.

When the man turned around, Iyou charged him with his sword. The man blocked it, but Iyou pushed him back and away from Jidori and the man's accomplice.

"Now why would you do that? Wouldn't you stand a much better chance together?" The second man asked Jidori.

"Two reasons. One: Iyou is still afraid of working with me and getting in my way, which is stupid considering he's pretty strong himself. And two: divide and conquer. Both of us are the third strongest of our respective squads. So you'd do good not to underestimate us. Just the same, we are not stupid enough to make the same mistake of underestimating you guys."

"Wise words coming from a child." The second man turned to face Jidori.

-

After pushing his opponent back away from Jidori a significant distance, Iyou jumped over the man and tried kicking him with his left foot upon landing. The man's scythe blocked it, and countered by trying to decapitate him.

Iyou ducked and kicked his adversary in the stomach, forcing him against the wall. The third seat of Squad Two closed the distance and punched the man in the head with full force, making a crater behind the man's head. Iyou jumped back on top of the opposite wall and changed the way he held his sword to that of a normal position and pointed it at the man.

"You can't win. Give it up and surrender peacefully."

"I will not be beaten by a brat!" The man started to charge.

"Flow: Mizu Subeta!" Iyou's blade turned to water and surrounded the man's arms, legs, waist, and neck, effectively stopping him. "Be careful, Mizu Subeta's water acts like a blade."

"Then so be it." The man leaned forward with his head, effectively decapitating himself.

"Crap! What a fanatic! I hope Jidori can capture his opponent." Iyou recalled his zonpakutou and looked in Jidori's direction, where fireworks were flying.

-

"Hado 31: Shakkaho!" Ten balls of red energy was fired at the second man. He put up is right hand in the fashion of a ninja about to do a jutsu. Ten black balls formed around him and fired as he pointed at Jidori. Ten explosions of red and black energy engulfed the area between them.

The man in black just stood there, waiting for the child's next attack. Before he knew it, two feet smashed into his face. As he stumbled back, Jidori lept into the air again for ax-kick with his right foot.

The man put up his arms to block. Jidori then pointed his right index finger at the guy's head. "Hado 4: Byakurai!" The cloaked figure jumped back, barely dodging the white lightning bolt.

Jidori front flipped in midair, landing in a crouch position with both hands held forward in an X pattern. "Hado 73: Soren Sokatsui!" Twin blasts of blue energy obliterated everything in its path. The man jumped on top of the wall just in time.

"Bakudo 63: Sajo Sabaku!" A golden chain of energy caught the man, though Jidori was holding on to part of it. A blue aura with small sparks of electricity surrounded the child as he spun a few times before flinging his captive through the wall to his left.

The child went through the hole to see his target trying to escape via an interdimensional portal. The black mass was fully opened, the man jumping through it.

Coward! Jidori elevated his spiritual pressure and made his spirit energy form a protective sphere around him before jumping through.

"Jidori!" Iyou was about to join his friend when Captain Kagai Tomoshibi of Squad Three stopped him.

"Don't, you do not know what adverse affects that portal may have."

"But we can't let him go in there alone!"

"Yes we can. Unlike you, he has extensive knowledge of interdimensional portals and has more than enough spirit energy and enough control over it to protect himself. He'll be fine, don't worry. If there are any adverse affects, it should affect Jidori much slower because of that protective sphere."

"Fine. But we will go after him right?"

Kagai smiled for once. "What do you think Squad Twelve is doing right now? We'll have their location soon enough."
