Yukiko's POV
So many lights were flashing all around us, it was blinding and confusing at first, but we got the hang of it after a while. We were just floating through the time tunnel that flowed with different colors. I glanced at Kaizen who was looking at the open space behind me as if… watching.
"Kai? What's wrong…? There are no Quantum Time Zombies behind me is there?!" my voice cracked a bit when I said zombies. I've grown a fear of anything ghostly or dead, (ironic isn't it, being a Soul Reaper and all) ever since Ichigo, who I have permission to call him Uncle, brought back a device from the World of the Living a few months ago, before the invasion started, called a Wii. It came with a game called Fatal Frame 4 and when I played… I was never the same again.
Kaizen shook his head, eyes still glued behind me, with a shock expression.
"Yuki… Behind you."
Turning my head slowly, I caught on, to what he was looking at. It was a time, recorded from the past; it was not a happy time though. It played the time exactly when Aizen and Ichimaru were standing in front of my dad smiling as if hiding something behind them. My Dad flashed stepped between the two and found himself standing there, in horror, in front of my bleeding to death mom.
"Momo, no…" his voice was broken in fear, sadness, and pain.
"Heh, found her, guess I shouldn't have left her lying around," said Aizen.
My eyes widen in shock and fear, "Stop… Please… Make it Stop!!!" My voice screech through the time tunnel, bouncing off its eternity walls. Tears are pouring down my face as I continued to watch the time memory. I watched my Dad summon Hyourinmaru's Bankai and soar towards Aizen only to be cut open through his torso and the icy wings crumble into pieces.
"It's the wrong season, but I'd rather like seeing ice this time of year."
It was too much for me, hearing Aizen's voice made me want to puke. Even though I wasn't there, I can feel the stab of his sword in my gut, and the emotions were filling me up to the tip of my head. Kaizen can feel my emotions and reacted quickly.
"Yukiko, calm down, that was in the past and don't forget we are here to fix it!"
I really hated his inspiring talks, but it did help me a little.
"Thanks, Kaizen… look, it's your Mom and Dad!" We looked below us and saw another time memory of Ichigo and Rukia.
"Look, we don't have time for your Soul Reaper nonsense! I have to capture him, I mean me, I mean I'm not sure what I mean!" Ichigo-memory, pointed at Rukia-memory.
Kaizen chuckled at the scene, "I guess this is where they met Kon."
I nodded in agreement while I watched Auntie Rukia flash an explanation that had Chappy characters on it, get and insult from Ichigo, and he get whack in the face by the notebook. It faded after a while and the tunnel became really dark.
"We're here now."
20 Years Ago
Normal POV
Everything is quiet in the Soul Society; all Soul Reapers are in their respected Divisions doing who knows what. Suddenly a voice boomed through the Divisions, that voice was Head Captain Ukitake (1)
"All Captains and Lieutenants are to report to the First Division immediately, for an important meeting."
In the Tenth Division, our favorite white haired Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya, is sitting on his desk signing as many paper works as he can before the meeting. He would have been finished if only his Lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto, had done her share of the work and not go out drinking Sake with Renji or Hisagi. Sighing as he finished his last paper work, he stood and stretched from many non-stop days of writing and walked quickly to the First Division. When he closed in on the large doors, he spotted Rangiku standing there waiting for him, and smiling like an idiot with someone behind her.
What is she grinning about… and who is that?
As he finally approached the two, he found out that the person is none other than Momo Hinamori, smiling at him.
"Momo… What are you doing here? You shouldn't be walking yet, you're still in recovery."
Captain Unohana walked up from behind Momo and explained why she was out of the 4th Division.
"She has been recovered many weeks ago, and during that time she has been training mentally and physically. She is now prepared to go back in her duties as Lieutenant of the 5th Division and go back into battle."
Nodding in approval Toshiro thanked the Captain as she went inside the large doors.
"Oh, Captain! Momo! I'm so happy that you two are now able to see each other and not in the Infirmary. Aw! You two would make such a really cute couple!"
The two younger Soul Reapers stared at her with wide eyes and exclaimed at the same time, "Rangiku!!" "Rangiku-san!"
Laughing it off, she pushed the two inside the doors and taking their rightful place in line. All the Captains stood in front of the Head Captain while all the Lieutenants stood behind their Captains. Coughing into his fist Ukitake began the meeting.
"I called you all here for two important reasons, first I would like to introduce our new 5th Division Captain and a new Lieutenant. I'm sure you all know them as a friend and comrade. Please come in."
As if on cue the giant doors opened up to reveal an orange haired Soul Reaper, wearing a Haori over his Soul Reaper clothes and a raven haired girl standing behind him. At the same time they both walked forward and the identity of the two was revealed. The orange hair was none other than Ichigo Kurosaki and the raven hair was Rukia Kuchiki. Kenpachi smiled so much that it was probably ear-to-ear. Ichigo took his place in front of Momo and smiled at her.
"Hey, Momo."
Quickly bowing to her new Captain and addressed him directly, "Hello, Captain Kurosaki!"
Waving off her bow, he just smiled and replied to her, "Naw, just call me Ichigo, Kurosaki is too formal for me. Besides we're friends aren't we? Not as Captain and Lieutenant."
Lifting her head, she really grew fond of him, even though they just met.
All is silent, until Zaraki's laughter filled the room, "Ahahaha!!! Hey, Ichigo, guess what!? This means that we can fight each other Everyday!"
Ichigo's eyes widen and pointed his finger at Kenpachi's face.
"Hell No! I'm Never Fighting You!! Find someone else!!"
"Oh, are you scared to take me on? Have you gotten weak since our last fight?"
"You wanna start something?!"
"What if I am?"
"Enough! Please, Captain Zaraki and Captain Kurosaki go back to your places," Ukitake was watching the two bicker, but had enough when they were going no where.
"Now, I would like to make some arrangements, Lieutenant Hinamori and Lieutenant Matsumoto, with your permission, switch squads."
The said Soul Reapers looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Thank you Head Captain Ukitake!! Now maybe Captain and Momo will finally start a relationship! Thought Rangiku. The two walked and passed each other to their rightful spot, but Rangiku was stopped before she even got near to Ichigo.
"Ah, Lieutenant Matsumoto, can you not go to the 5th Division, but go to the 3rd Division? Lieutenant Kuchiki has requested to be there from the very beginning."
Rangiku looked at the 3rd Division and saw her new Captain, Gin Ichimaru (2) who was smiling and waving at her. Sighing to herself she walked towards Gin and took her place behind him. Nodding with sureness, Ukitake continued the meeting.
"Now that that's out of the way, the second reason I called you is because there is a presence coming this way, it is alien to me, because I could not figure out the spiritual pressure belongs to and where it came from. All I know is that there are two and are heading in this direction."
Soifon acted quickly, "Head Captain, do you want me to post my Ops team around the Divisions?"
Shaking his head, Ukitake answered her,
"No, that won't be necessary."
"Why not, Head Captain?" asked Captain Kuchiki.
Sighing "Because, they are already here."
As if on cue, to ball of light appeared behind everyone in the room. All the Captains and Lieutenants turned around quickly and watched what it was.
"Captain Hitsugaya…" Momo began. She knew not to call him 'Little Shiro' in a meeting with all the Captains there.
"Momo, stand behind me…" Nodding at her Captain's order she stepped behind him as he took a grip on Hyourinmaru.
The balls of light began to dislocate and slowly formed white figures of two people. One was short and the other was as tall as Ichigo. Their spiritual energy, however, felt familiar, the short one had a mixture to Hitsugaya and Hinamori's spiritual energy, and the tall one was the same, only it was familiar with Ichigo and Rukia. Suddenly the light began to grow dim, from the toes the light started to reveal them. As it reached their faces Hitsugaya, Hinamori, Ichigo, and Rukia all gasped as they saw the faces of the two intruders. The short one was a girl that looked exactly like Momo, the only difference is that her hair was white and her eyes are teal. Her Zanpakuto was perched on her back like Toshiro, only the sash that held it in place was sky blue. The second person was a boy and looked exactly like Ichigo, only his hair was black and his eyes were grey with a tint of brown. The hair was spiked up like Ichigo, but the back of his hair grew a little only to the shoulders. His Zanpakuto was also on his back, but there were two blades and were positioned to be a X.
Ukitake was the first to recover, and smiled upon the newcomers.
"Excuse me! Who are you and please tell us why you are here?" Though he said it politely it had a tone that probably meant, 'Why have you invaded the Soul Society' or 'come up with the wrong answer and we'll cut you down.'
The girl was the first to speak,
"My name is Yukiko Hikaruko."
Then the boy spoke next,
"I'm Kaizen Sorashou."
"And we are here to make a change."
