Summary: They were born an anomaly, nothing like what the soul society had ever seen before. One with strength equal to a kenpachi, her nature just as volatile and ruthless. The other intelligent beyond her years, but unconventional and driven by near madness. Together they could find peace in their shared insanity, twins that were never meant to be. A decision gone very wrong.
But, as the truth of their birth comes back to bite them and all that they have learned to hold dear and love is thrown into danger, are their sticker bops and Lollipops really enough to fight a war they wanted no part in?
In this life, there are a number of categories that a soul can fall into in the course of their existence, an ever changing ebb and flow that shifts and alters with the consistency of time. With a single instance, a normal human can become a gifted soul, a being capable of extraordinary activities, or, with a single tragedy, can become a wondering spirit, cast adrift until peace is found and they are able to pass on.
A spirit unable to find peace after death is at risk of becoming a hollow, a creature consumed by pain and grief. It is the task of the soul reapers, souls that have passed on to the soul society. Their soul duty is to aide in the passing of the wandering spirits and to bring peace to those who have fallen to their own grief, to vanquish the hollows, prevent them from hurting others in their thirst for other souls and allow them to finally find eternal rest within the soul society.
However, our story starts with a shift in the dynamic, a single decision that gave birth to chaos and mayhem in the strangest of forms. Two hearts that beat as one, two minds intent on showing the soul society that being different is the new sexy.
The atmosphere felt tense, the captain lined up in their usual positions as the head captain continued the meeting. How had such a thing gone unnoticed by all in the soul society? A strong reiatsu, powerful enough to draw hollows in their masses, had been discovered by accident by the watcher of Karakura town. But, if that were so, then why had Ichigo Kurosaki not informed them of this presence?
"It is clear that, despite our reluctance to get involved too heavily with the affairs of the living world, something must be done about the soul that is causing these issues"
Toshiro furrowed his brows at those words. What did the head captain intend to do? Stepping forward slightly, he voiced his concerns as best as he could.
"What would you have done, Head Captain?"
"This soul has reportedly done nothing wrong. However, with power such as what has been reported, it is clear that a transition must be made. Captain Hitsugaya, arrange a small task force of your choosing, both to take out the growing hollow threat as well as to search for the cause of the problem… This soul will be brought into custody of the soul society and further investigated. Understood"
In unison, the captains bowed their heads, a confirmation of 'Sir' shared amongst them before they were granted permission to leave. Toshiro still felt troubled, he couldn't quite place it but something felt off about the entire situation, like a vital piece of information had been missed out in the report. He just couldn't think of anything that could have been missed.
"There is nothing to do about it until I am face to face with the problem… The usual task force should suffice"
Continuing onwards, he resolved to have his group together and through the senkaimon within the hour, failing to notice the eyes upon him within the shadows as he flash stepped away.
The breeze tickled against her skin as she looked up towards the sky, her sister beside her upon the roof as the pair lay in silence, simply choosing to take the time to enjoy the sun.
They knew they were different, had always known. From the moment they were old enough to comprehend, it had been clear. They were never apart, always seeming to be holding hands as they shut out the world around them. Both with hair half golden and half midnight black, their eyes a mismatched combination of forest green and baby blue.
"Hey, Miko?"
"What is it Kami?"
Kami sighed as she continued to look upwards, taking her sisters hand within her own as she spoke.
"Do you think all twins are like us?"
Miko frowned, finally choosing to look towards her sister as she gave a reassuring squeeze to the others hand. How could anyone be like them? They were an anomaly, no other way to describe it really.
"I doubt it, but that's how I like it. We're unique, just like everyone else in this world. No two people are the same and, despite everything, neither are we"
Kami couldn't help but smile a little at that. Miko was right, as usual.
"Yeah, I guess so. We're not completely the same, I suck at maths but you excel at it, but you suck at Music where as I rock"
Miko scowled as she slapped her sisters arm, causing the other to laugh out loud as she batted off the weak hit. Another difference, Kami was strength where Miko was intelligence.
"I guess it's not all bad… We might have to share the same body, but at least we have our own strengths and weaknesses"
Silence followed Kami's words as they returned to watching the sky from the roof of their home, Miko rolling her eyes as something caught her eyes and she was forced to sit up completely, eyes trained upon the crack in the sky. Not again.
"Hey, Kami… I think it's going to rain"
Kami followed her sisters line of sight as she groaned and pulled a single lollipop from her pocket, sticking the caramel flavoured treat into her mouth as she sat up also and noticed a separate disturbance within the sky. Why the hell was there a door opening up beside the crack that Miko had spotted?
"Looks like it. Fancy going for a walk… I'd take those stickerbops with you, just to be certain"
"Sounds good to me. Hope you have a backup for that lollipop"
The pair stood and began to climb down from the roof, excitement starting to bubble within both sisters as they began to walk away from the shop, shouting in unison behind them at the man stood within the doorway.
"We're going to play dad, don't wait up!"
The smile upon the man's lips was gentle as the pair vanished from his sight and the black cat came to sit beside him, tail swishing. He knew he didn't have to worry about the pair, they were unconventional but they were strong, just like he had intended. But that didn't mean he didn't worry at all.
"You should have stopped them Kisuke... There is a captain in the world of the living"
Looking down at the black cat, he sighed and shrugged his shoulders before turning to go back into the shop, his words trailing behind him as he went back to the counter.
"It was bound to happen one day Yoruichi. Even I can't stop the inevitable"
