A/N: Hey guys! It's been a while huh? Life, my artwork, and school got in the way once again. So, I won't be up here very much or often, but I still get everything happening up here on my phone through email and I have it on me 24/7 unless I'm in the bed sleeping.

I am currently working on the next chapters for Joker's Queen, The Silver Surgeon, as well as Fire and Fury. I was hoping to get the next chapter for Joker's Queen posted sometime last night, but I wasn't able to make it in time and I had a migraine trying to write it all out. I got seven pages in total done before I stopped, so I'll write out the next four pages tomorrow if I don't have homework to do.

Now, I had posted this story once before up here, but it wasn't the greatest in the world nor was it completely developed either. I also was juggling with the pairing for my OC too while trying to develop his personality too. I had his profile information written out, but I just had a hard time writing the actual story.

This time I had help from Spunky0ne and she's seen a great help so far! This story will feature my intersexed male OC and the beloved Byakuya Kuchiki as the main pairing in this story. If any of you are uncomfortable, then the exit button will solve all of your problems. Hehe.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the introduction to Blossom's Monkey King :D!

Prologue

It was just another day in the Seireitei. Everyone was going about their day in a routine fashion. It was rather boring to say the least. For a Shinigami of the 11th division, it would seem so. The division itself was designed for those who knew and loved to fight. They were the Seireitei's best combat fighters and they were always the first upon the battlefield. Adrenaline junkies, brutes, barbarians, mindless beasts are just some nicknames for these Shinigami.

For a Shinigami such as Ryosaki Hogosha, this is not the best option in the eyes of the Hogosha Elders. They wanted him to conform to the traditional values and ways set for the Clan heirs to join the Sixth Division under the Kuchiki Clan Head. It was to improve ties and political connections between noble houses.

He was the eldest out of seven children. So, he had to take care of his younger siblings, tend to his duties as Clan heir, and also continue his career as a Shinigami. On the outside, he appears as though he were a red haired, sea green eyed Kuchiki in terms of outwardly behavior. However, that is not the case. He had the blood of a Scots You can thank his equally fiery mother for that one. Ryosaki wanted nothing more than to feel the thrill of fighting upon the battlefield without any restrictions. To do what he wanted without judgement. He wanted to feel alive again. After so many years of having to hide his true nature, little-by-little he began to lose a part of his soul. He will be damned if he lets it continue like this.

So, imagine his intense disbelief and anger when he finds out that this was not going where he wanted it to go.

"With all due respect, Kuchiki-taicho, I have no interest in joining the 6th Division."

"Is that so? Tell me why are you refusing my offer."

"Because I have already applied to join the 11th Division instead. I had high marks in everything except for kendo. It was my weakest point, and by joining the 11th I'll be able to strengthen that weakness."

"I see. So, you are going to break the Hogosha House tradition just because of a simple 'weakness'?"

"Yes. I am. If I were to go on the battlefield and exercise nothing by kido spells, eventually my reishi will run out. I'll have no choice but to rely on my physical strength. Having a weakness in kendo will impair my obligation of being a guardian of the Four Noble Houses."

Byakuya looked on at the slightly shorter male before him. Never had he received a rejection of a personal offer to join his division. This copper-haired, bright green-eyed man had done just that. It was astonishing. The depth of his eyes hid away the fire that burned within that slender androgynous body of his. As much as he hated the fact that his offer was rejected, and the fact that he was joining the 11th division, Byakuya couldn't help but admire this young Shinigami's tenacity and dedication.

"I do hope that you know exactly what you are getting yourself into, Ryosaki Hogosha."

"Heh, I hope so too."

Dark grey eyes watched the slender male bow in respect and then walk out of the room with a slight sway in his step. Odd, this was only visible in the female officers. The newly appointed Captain of the 6th division couldn't help, but be intrigued with this new Soul Reaper. Somehow, there was a voice that hoped to see him again one day.
