YAY! My first story is up after so many months of writing :P please go easy on me... this is my first fanfic and I'm trying. The main charatcer is an OC btw and there are a few others during the story probably. My spelling is terrible so any mistakes just say please ;) Read, reveiw and ENJOY!
"Kuchiki taicho, Aabari fukitaicho and Kuchiki Rukia are to be sent to the world of the living to explain the situation to substitute shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo." Ordered Captain commander Yamamoto, "You will be leaving in one hour. Dismissed!" With that the captains of the gotei 13 left the captain's meeting to prepare their own squad.
Gracefully, Byakuya lead his lieutenant and adopted sister through the portal towards the world of the living. Behind him he could hear their voices gently raising higher with their bickering, 'When will they grow up?' Byakuya suddenly stopped in his tracks leaving a slightly startled pair behind him. Over the brickering of Rukia and Renji was another sound, one that made his heart race.
"Is something wrong, taicho?" Renji asked.
"Do you hear that?" He responded. Both Renji and Rukia looked around, hands towards their zanpuktou. After a while they turned back to the raven haired man.
"Hear what, nii-sama?" Byakuya turned around to face Rukia, seeing the worry in her eyes - he decided to drop the subject and carry on.
"Nothing." He turned again and carried on walking, his scarf dancing elegantly behind him. They watched him walk away again.
"What was that about?"
"I don't know." They had known from past experiances that it is best not to ask the cold-hearted man questions so they shook the disturbance out of their heads to carry on.
Ichigo put down the manga as he heard a knock on his window. Looking up he sees no other than Rukia. He rolled his eyes with his trademark scowl then got up to let her in. She climbed in.
"Ichigo, we have some buisness we need to inform you with."
"Yo, Ichigo" Renji called as he jumped in after. Surprisingly, Byakuya came through the window too.
"Hey, Renji, Byakuya" Byakuya grunted silently.
"When will you address me properly as a captain?" Byakuya spat.
"The day I kill Kenpachi." Ichigo responded.
"Ichigo! You will address nii-sama as a supieror!" Rukia shouted as she punched him behind his head, sending him flying into Renji. A small toy poked his head out to see what the fuss was.
"Nee-san!" Kon called as he exploded out of the desk drawer to jump his precious sister. But he didn't get the chance to reach her. Byakuya had seen through his moves. He shunpo-ed infront of Rukia catching the plushy teddy. Kon - who had never seen this man before - instantly knew he wasn't to mess around with him. Byakuya kept his neutral glance, but but a small amount of threat into his storm coloured eyes.
"Keep away from Rukia." He plainly remarked.
"H-Hai." Kon stammered. Once realesed he retreated back to his place in the drawer, not to come out again whilest Byakuya remained in the room. Rukia blushed slightly at her over-protective brother as he sat down on Ichigo's bed.
"Ichigo, we need to explain the increasing hollow attacks." Renji started as Ichigo got back off of him, "And it has something to do with Kon." He pointed towards the peering head of the plushy.
"ME? WHAT HAVE I GOT TO DO WITH THESE HOLLOWS?" He shouted. Byakuya shot him a death glare which lead Kon to decided to shut up and let him carry on.
"As I was saying, we have a new enemy who has, somehow, managed to gain control of the hollows, as well as grande menos. We don't know what their goal is right now but we do know this." Renji looked towards Kon, "The enemy are modified souls who have decided to go against their owner."
"We need to take Kon with us to stop his rebellion." Rukia continued.
"Who cares if Kon rebells? He hasn't got enough strength to beat anyone we know." Ichigo retorted.
"Oh yeah Ichigo? Maybe I would re-" Rukia took the small candy out of the toy.
"It's not about the strength they have now, Ichigo." Rukia said, "They take some sort of clone of thier owner's body, it's nothing but white and, I don't know how they've done it but, the body has been made to be twice the strength of the real owner. We can't let Kon rebell because that means he would be twice your strength, we have enough trouble as you are anyway." Byakuya jumped slightly, he could hear it again, that noise, like an angel's song. Music, and a girl singing. He looked through the window to see if he could find the source of the noise. It came from the house - the window complete opposite from Ichigo's. Inside the room attached to that window was a woman. She was roughly 25 years old. 'What is so familier about that woman?' Byakuya thought deeply. He stared at her golden locks that fell down to her hip, the way it flicked to the sides made it seem like fire caressing her back. Her hazel brown eyes were much lighter than Ichigo's but were so much deeper. The lullaby she sang had danced through his ears, closing the world around them both. He couldn't remove his eyes.
"Oui, Byakuya..."
"Taicho..."
"Nii-sama..." They all tried to reach him but he just wouldn't turn from that window. Renji looked outside to where he was staring, but nothing was there.
"Taicho, what are you staring at? Is something wrong?" No response.
Her fringe sat on both sides of the face, the right side bigger than the other. Her smile reached deep into his heart but still he couldn't place where he had seen this woman before. She packed her suitcase, dancing around the room whilst doing so. She let out a long high note, hitting it perfectly, but for Byakuya, that note caused everything go black once she hit it.
"Nii-sama!" Rukia called as he fell back on the floor.
"He fainted." Ichigo stated the obvious. Sighing, he walked over to his unconsions body and carried Byakuya onto his bed and let him rest. Then Yuzu opened the door.
"Ichi-nii, I heard a thud from downstairs is anything wrong?" Yuzu turned her gaze towards the tall man on the bed.
"What happened?" She almost screamed.
"He fainted, Yuzu can you get some water?"
"Yes, right away!" She ran back downstairs to get the requested item. Renji looked at a small green thing that had fallen out of his taicho's pocket. 'He actully carries one of these ambassidor seaweed things around with him?' He sighed and picked it up, keeping hold of it until Byakuya stirred awake. Yuzu came in with the water just as Byakuya sat up, she caught a glimps of his face and blushed.
"H-here's some water mister...um..."
"Kuchiki Byakuya." He stated while taking the water. Yuzu blushed and turned to the door.
"What happened to you?" Ichigo asked. Byakuya took the water then held his head.
"I don't know."
"Nii-sama, are you ill?" Rukia seemed very worried at this point.
"I'm fine, Rukia."
"Taicho, this fell out of your pocket." Renji handed the abassidor to him. Byakuya looked at it and pressed the top, revealing a picture inside. Finally, Byakuya gasped as he realised who that girl was.
"April..." He whispered. The picture had Byakuya as a young boy, perhaps a teenager in human years, next to a teenaged girl. He was smiling as he looked in the camera, hair up in a ponytail with a few strands fallen over his left eye, wearing a blue, men's kimono with a yellow obi. The girl had short golden hair, finishing at the top of her shoulders and whisping at the bottom. Her brown eyes where distracted to the side but she still wore her heart-warming smile. Only her right eye was seen, the other was covered with a side fringe. Her body's curves were however reveailed as she wore a plain red woman's kimono with a orange obi, part of a large bow could be seen at the side where her body was twisted towards Byakuya. Her face was the only part of her skin you could see. The kimono's arm's fell upon her hands and crepted over her feet when the neck slithered up to her throat.
"April? What kind of name is that?" Ichigo quizzed, not meaning it in a bad way.
"It's an English name." Byakuya lectured.
"What happened to her?" Renji curiously asked. Byakuya looked through the window again, this time towards the sky. She was gone.
"I don't know."
