Time is an interesting thing if you live outside of it
Kind of….
Out of all my years as a soul reaper I have travelled outside of the confines of Japan to see if there are other societies around the world but what had surprised me was that there were and they were completely isolated from one another but they all spoke of one thing in common
The spirit king and his court
So many paths unconnected yet all originate from the same place
And to think that I will be going back to the place where mine had started
*soul society Japan*
After being away for over 400 hundred years I wonder what has changed amongst the court guard squads, going from each of the different barracks having a look at some of the soul reapers I realised that I haven't been masking my spiritual pressure, thinking it would not be a big deal I continued on until I heard the alarm go off.
"We are now at level 3 alert, an intruder with a strong spiritual pressure has been detected near the squad 11 barracks and captains are to engage on sight anyone else is to hinder movements alone, captain Zaraki you have been cleared for combat" Zaraki now I haven't heard of that captain before maybe it has been a bit too long since I checked in with them
"Hay you!" I look down to see one of the reapers looking at me "yes you what squad are you from?"
"14th" I say truthfully as I had served with them for 50 years before I set of on my trip to which he just sneers at me with an evil look in his eye as the other one had an eye patch on it
"Well looks like I get my fight quicker than I expected" and with a manic grin he takes a swing at me with his sword, all I can do is yelp and dodge for my life as I search the walls for my mark
"Yay go get him Kenny!" I look around to see a very small girl with pink hair on the opposite wall and as I looked over I saw what I was looking for
"Yachiru I told you get out of here!" I take my chance grabbing the flash bomb out of my sleeve and throw it on the ground, with them blinded I run to the wall and open the passage which I was surprised was still there
This thing saved me so many times when the fan girls and the SWA got to close for comfort
"DAMNIT!" I hear him yell as I make my way through the secret to my home
I could do with a nap
*my house (or so I thought)*
Wow not as dusty as I thought it would be after 400 years moving through the rooms I couldn't find my bedroom but the place did look better than I left it
And then at that point I see pink petals float through the air crap
"Who are you?" I hear a cold voice ask me from behind
"And what are you doing here?" asks a second voice as a blade comes to rest under my neck
Thinking on my feet from the rumour's I heard on my trip back I come up with a name "Uryū Ishida?" the look I get from the girl says all I need to know quickly looking around I figure out where I am "no dice?" she shakes her head "I thought so" grabbing another flash bomb I throw it down and stamp on the floor beside me to open another one of my bolt holes.
When the smoke clears they will have no idea where I went "where did he go?" the girl asks but no reply is heard I have already moved off
Now I need a drink knowing where this leads out
*A bar*
"two bottles of sake and make them strong" I ask the bar man and I get them quickly which surprised me this was a rundown bar the last time I was here now it is quite nice I give him a nice tip
"Well stranger you gonna share those bottles?" I hear a voice behind me, being as tired as I am I turn around tom tell him to piss off but I see a man with what look like a duvet over his shoulders but I see the same white cape as the Zaraki guy had on underneath
Crap another one "sure, if you want" going to a table we sit down and I pour a cup for the both of us.
After the first encounter I kept my pressure lower than the pink haired girl I saw "so what brings you here in the middle of the day?"
"Too much paper work…" I reply taking my first drink and going for another
"ohh really what squad are you in?" crap this is what got me the last time ok go lower than 14
"Squad 8 3rd seat" and with that he raises an eyebrow
"Really now?"
"Yeah the captain is lazy and the lieutenant keeps dumping his paper work on me" he just looks at me and keeps drinking I think he bought it
"Hay Nanao, come here" a woman with a book under her arm walk's up to us and bows to the man
"yes captain?"
"Do you know this man?"
"No captain"
"What squad where you again?" this was to me
"8 3rd seat" the woman looks over at me with a strange look in her eyes, I look over at the man and the grin he had is now gone crap again "You're the squad 8 captain" he nods "and you are the lieutenant right" she nods "great" I finish my drink take the one he had just poured himself and rink that and stand up, I look up "all I wanted was a drink"
"well next time do your homework before walking into the bar used by the senior reapers" at that I look and see that at least three other people in the bar are wearing the same badge as Nanao on their arms and another captain just walked in "ahh captain Kuchiki how nice of you to join us"
That name rang a bell but the voice that came with it rang more "shunsui again in the bar when we have an intruder and he has already invaded my home"
"I know there is an intruder… he is standing right there" pointing at me, at that point all of the other lieutenant's all got up and had drawn their swords
"all I wanted was to have a nap then I find him in my home and then I needed a drink and now you are all pointing your swords at me, *sigh* guess I have no choice" I draw my sword "douse the fires, greet the shadows, Kage Doragon" shadows engulf the whole bar and when they lift I'm long gone
Along with all of the bottles on the tables
Well at least I got my drink I hear a lot of moans but none I know
*Sōkyoku hill*
I don't get a break, this place used to have such lovely trees but something must have happened to make them like this.
Walking through the dean trees I get to the place that looks over the whole soul society wow this place has changed a lot perhaps squad 12 might have what I need they always dealt in information
*research institute*
I managed to get there without any encounters with the higher ups but getting through the building without notice would be harder
"Excuse me?" crap already? Looking round I saw a small girl with black hair and green eyes wow on second thoughts I wouldn't mind being captured by her
"Yes?"
"If you want your research results follow me" she walked past me, if she is giving me an escort who am I to complain even if she got me mixed up with someone else
Moving into a room with a computer she gestures to it and in sit down and get to reading
*three hours later*
Wow a lot has happened and I could help this "Ichigo" with his problem but the methods I see seem out of date
"umm excuse me" the girl had been working in the room the whole time
"Yes what is it?"
"I was looking at the records to help the substitute and I was thinking that they were rather simple"
"ohh really now, do tell me how would you go about it?" said a new voice that sent a chill down my spine, turning to my other side I saw another person who I could now confirm to be a captain thanks to the terminal
"Well if you just take a sample for a month of how his reiatsu is over the week undisturbed by reapers and then with one close by not in a gigai and see the difference and if it is better just charge this" I take out an hourglass "and he should have his powers back in about 6 months" he has a look that I can only describe as a mix of curiosity and contempt "also how long have you been there?"
"It is a good idea but untested plus I was already in here when you entered"
"Well not on your records but it has been used before and they all liked having their powers back"
"And what if they had a hollow side to them when the lost their powers?"
"A seal is incorporated which allows them full use of the hollow powers without risk of them turning, three of the original subjects were as such"
"in the mean time you should not tell me this if you want to help him but the person you should be talking to is the head captain"
"Yes and I can sort out this mess that I had been in since I got back"
"So the alert is about you?"
"Yes it would appear that every single one of you got weaker since my day"
"And when was that?"
"400 years ago"
"Right" and with that we all got up and walked out the room
*meeting room*
Hiding in a room off to the side of the meeting room I listen to the captain's that have already arrived (I almost scarpered when I heard the Kuchiki siblings enter, I knew that one was a captain but the other is a lieutenant?
"Even when the intruder is still at large you manage to get a meeting called Kurotsuchi" said the man from the bar that captain Kuchiki called Shunsui I think
"Well this does have something to do with our favourite little substitute now doesn't it" at that everyone else's conversations fell as I noticed that they were all here now so there are twelve now strange one of them has thirteen on his haori
"Now that we are all here maybe you can answer the question that is on all our lips captain Kurotsuchi?"a gruff voice that I hadn't heard in 400 years yet it is one that is never forgotten lets just hope you didn't forget me motomo
"Well It is best if you heard it from the person who told me" hearing my cue I walk in to face the brunt of the other captains
"Hi there!" I say with a smile as a flood of pink petals and ice came rushing at me.
