Chapter 1: The new age

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The captains of the 13 court guard squads bowed down before a large grave marker. Each of them held a specific flower that honored each division's fallen shinigami. The high priest raised his hand for silence and the ceremony began.

Yoshie, Captain of squad 11 quietly listened to the priest as he read off names of the dead. Her face showed no sorrow emotion, just a bored gaze. Inside she was trying to keep control of herself as she wanted to burst out and just yell. Unable to stay still any longer, Yoshie raised her head to look around. Around her were the other Captains with their head lowered. The sky was no longer blue, but now stained in crimson colors. The trees rustled in the distance and the wind blew once again making a wailing sound.

"Hey, Shiro-Chan!" She whispered.

"When he didn't reply, Yoshie again whispered his name, "Shiro-chan!"

"WHAT?" He snapped.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Maybe."

"Why are you short?" Yoshie dared to ask. She loved making fun of the 10th squad captain. Teasing him always brightened her day.

Toshiro was already pissed off the second the words came out of Yoshie's mouth. Over the last few years he did grew taller...only by a few inches. It was so like Yoshie to ask something so stupid. He quickly thought of a snappy comebacks, but then remembered that she was shorter than he was. Before he could reply the priest said something that made his blood froze.

"Momo Hinamori."

Yoshie waited for Toshiro to reply, but he was quiet again. Toshiro's face turned as hard as stone and then his face softened as he stared at the ground. Yoshie noticed his tears as he tried to hide them. She knew what Toshiro was going through so she remained quiet. When a familliar name was called out, tears flowed down Yoshie's beautiful face just like a river.

The priest cleared his throat and announced it was time for the nexr phase. "Remember your fellow Soul reapers as they are the ones who destroyed the traitor Aizen in exchange for their lives!"

One by one the Captains of each divison payed their respects by giving a few words and offering a flower.

The High priest watched each Captain as they went up. Many of the Shinigami died during the final fight with Aizen including Head Captain Yamamoto. Jushiro Ukitake, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, and Shuunsui Kyoraku were some of the Captains that died that priest only recognized the Captains that was lucky enough to escape death. Toshiro Hitsugaya, Byakuya Kuchiki, and Retsu Unohana were the Captains that was able to survive. Five years later new Captains and Lieutenats were chosen.

The new Captains were a strange lot. Most of them wore different clothing underneath their Haori. One was even wearing a elegant kimono with white flowers on it. In the priest's opinion they had no respect for old traditions and for rules. His opinion grew more sure when he caught one of the Captains talking and whispering. No one ever dared to talk during a memorial service.

The priest spotted the female Captain as she step off the stone. She was a young girl with long black held pulled up in a long ponytail and deep black eyes that looked like it could see through your soul.

Yoshie looked back at the grave once more which was now covered in thirteen different flowers. She glanced at the flower she laid, the Yarrow. She smiled as she remembered the flower's meaning: FIGHT. Then she walked away. A wave of emotion flooded through her, but she shooked it off before it got hold of her.

She had to stay strong like the others. If the Captains were weak, then the others will be weak. They had to be strong to rebuild the Soul Society and protect both the Soul Society and Human world. This is what the fallen soul reapers entrusted them with.

The Captains walked away with a new found strength as the Priest watched. He sensed something powerful about them that was notthere before. Powerful Soul Reapers are about to rise to prove their strength and the priest was the first one to know it.

This is the begining of a new age....
