"Dude, should you really have done that?"
"What are they gonna-" I was cut off as an unknown force smashed into my face, sending me flying back past everyone and down the street. I landed on my feet and just managed to lift my arms up to deflect a punch from said unknown force, before looking up and realising it was Rukia who was trying to kill me. "What the f-" I was cut off as she grabbed both my arms and launched me back down the street. I looked to my side and saw Riley and Renji standing next to each other, having a normal chat like two guys do.
"Grab the other one you twat!" She shouted at him, grabbing the collar of my shirt and punching my face into the ground, then yanking me back up and chucking me again into a Seikimon. I heard shouting and looked down to see Riley, Renji and Rukia all coming through as well. I can't explain what its like going through a Seikimon, but it's really weird. As i got to the end, I tucked and rolled, head butting some one on the other side, Riley landing to my left, and Renji and Rukia stepping out as though it's normal. I stood up, and saw Toshiro sat on the floor in front of me, rubbing his head.
"CAPTAIN HITSUGAYA! Oh shit, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you- I mean, you're not small, it's just that-"
"Stop talking." I helped him up and dusted him off, while vain may as well popped off his forehead.
"DUDE!" Riley shouted. "WE'RE IN THE SOUL SOCIETY! WE COULD DO SO MUCH SHIT!"
"I KNOW! We would have to be soul reapers first but I FUCKING KNOW!" We stood there as the first seven captains just stared at us, apart from the captain commander, who couldn't be seen at the moment. "OOOOOOH! Captain Shunsui. Is there any chance we would be able to have a audience with the captain commander?"
"Well, you'd probably have one any ways, seeing as you are a pair of ryoka." He replied.
"And what would you want an audience with me for?" I looked to my left to find the captain-commander standing there.
"Was he always there?" I mouthed to Riley
"Don't think so." He replied
"Well?" He asked again.
"Well, we... er... we was wondering if it was possible if we could... maybe... become agents of the shinigami..."
"...This seems like something we should talk about in private. Follow me."
We walked in silence to his office, but it wasn't really a office, more a meeting room. It finally came to me that it was the Captain's meeting room. We stood in silence for a few minutes as the Captain-Commander stood there and stroked his beard like a stereotypical old man, before finally coming to the conclusion.
"Why do you two want to become shinigami?"
"Because we want to protect our loved ones from hollows!" I saluted like they do in 'attack on titan'.
"I just want to beat the crap outta them!" Riley smirked, not bothering to salute or bow or anything.
"I see. And why should I let you be shinigami?"
"So that we can beat the crap outta hollows." He smirked again.
"So that we can help protect the Soul Society!" I saluted again.
"Hmm...Who would you both like to serve under?"
"Captain Ukitake sir!" Riley finally saluted an army salute.
"Two things." I said "One, you salute with your left hand." Riley instantly swapped his arms. "And two, I would like to serve under either Captain Shunsui, or under Captain Sui-Feng."
"Understood. I will be holding a meeting later. I will talk to them about it then."
"Thank you sir." With that we left, anticipating what would happen. (Is that the right word? Scratch that.) Hoping of what could happen.
Later that day!
I walked down the corridor to the meeting room and saw two guards stood outside the door.
"Where do you think your going?" One shouted, both crossing their blades in front of the door.
"I was going to talk in the meeting."
"like hell you are. You are not stepping foot in there without the Captain-Commanders permission!"
"But I-"
"Fuck off kid!" One shouted, smacking me with the butt of his blade. I crumpled to the floor, shielding my temple from any more attacks.
"Fucking TWAT!" I shouted, grabbing and ramming him through the door as Riley came down the other end of the corridor.
"... will be executed on sokyoku hill."
"LIKE FUCK SHE WILL!" I shouted, shoving the guard aside and shouting at the Captain-Commander. "She's done nothing wrong! She was unfit to fight and thousands would have died if she hadn't made that choice!"
"I don't agree with this as well, but this is the orders of central 46-"
"With all due respect sir, fuck 'em! They are just a bunch of old men locked up because they are too scared. You're the Captain-Commander!"
"How dare you talk to the captain like that!" Sui-Feng shouted.
"I will talk however necessary until I am able to assure myself that Rukia is safe!"
"You don't even know her!" Byakuya stated. (Or tried)
"I probably know her more then you do!"
"Excuse me?!"
"Hisane." I muttered.
"What did you just say?!" He was losing it.
"SILENCE!" Yammamoto shouted. "The execution is set and decided. All captains are to report back to their barracks. Shunsui and Ukitake are to stay here." After a few minutes, everybody was out, Byakuya gave me a dirty look, and the two captains were as puzzled as ever.
"What would you want us for?" Shunsui asked.
"I never learnt you names." He stated to me and Riley.
"Oh... of course. My name is Riley, and that's Joe." I saluted again, my fist on my heart.
"Hmm...What do you know about Rukia?"
"While I may not be able to tell you, we can help you as much as possible."
"Well, captains?"
"Yes sir?" They both asked.
"Would you two like a new assistant?"
"Well, a new helper is always nice." Ukitake stated.
"Would you have a preferred one out of these two?"
"If I may say, Ukitake should take him in." I stated. "For two reasons. One, I believe that Captain Ukitake would be able to bring out the best in him. Two, he would be able to get closer to Kiyone. I know for a fact that he would be very-" He punched me across the room in the very stereotypical anime way.
"Well I guess that means I have Joseph." Shunsui commented. "When do we get them?"
"You talk as though we're toys."Riley commented.
"You get them straight away." Yammamoto spoke back. "You are the one's that will give them the power."
"Oh." Shunsui seemed taken aback.
"You are to take them to you'r barracks and go through the procedure, understood?"
"Yes sir!" They both bowed, Riley army saluted, and I AOT saluted. We walked out and after the two captains spoke, and we acted like a pair of school girls.
"Wait, captains! Is it possible that we could do it here? I mean...it's just that...if we did do it here, it would be easier for it to happen if me and Riley could find each other quicker."
"What would be easier?"
"Well, me and Riley are good friends, competitive even. So, to put it short, we really wanna beat the crap outta each other."
"I see." Ukitake exclaimed, seemingly too happy about the fact that two shinigami want to try and almost kill each other.
"Well, if you agree Jushiro, then I will happily go along with it." Shunsui added. With that me and Riley stood next to each other and the captains proceeded to turn us into shinigami. After a few minuets, a couple of bright lights, and a slight burning sensation, we stopped floating and stood there as we were able to sense our own power, and were completely amazed. I looked at myself and noticed that my haori was looking different to others. For starters, it was red, and I had a longer, grey haori over it. Riley looked perfectly normal, but I felt as though there was something wrong.
"Dude, why don't you have normal clothes?" Riley asked.
"Because I'm a bad-ass."
"Pfft, that wouldn't make a- Why am I not different?"
"Obviously your not a bad-"
"CATCH!" He shouted, launching a Sōkatsui at me. I cursed wildly, while attempting to slap it away.
"OH REALLY? FINE THEN! Shakkahō!" I shouted, aiming for him and firing it point blank at him. I looked at the captains with a burnt look. Well, more of a burnt face. They looked back with surprise at me, mainly because we both fired a level 31 or a level 35 hado. I looked back at Riley, but couldn't see past all the smoke contained in the small corridor.
"Oh, you did not just do that! DUEL TIME!" He shouted, punching me in the arm and sprinting down the corridor. I sprinted after him, launching myself down stairs and past other shinigami, rounding up about 200 of them. We finally got to our battle area, which was the future-battle area of Ichigo and Kenpachi.
"Right then!" We stood back to back, our eyes closed. "We both rush to the end of the area. Once there, we sprint back and fight." I stated.
"Good. I can do that." He replied.
"OK then." There was a blast of light as my sword was summoned. Just a normal sword. For normal fighting.
YEAH RIGHT!
My blade appeared as a Katana. My hands dropped as it materialised in them. I peeked out one eye to find that I was holding a Katana, so I pointed it to the floor and hoped no one noticed. "Your turn." He summoned his as well, which turns out to be a normal Zanpakutō.
"Hey! No shikai's! That's cheating!" One shinigami shouted.
"No shikai's! Your meant to be novices!" Another shouted.
"I haven't used shika- I cant even use shikai!"
"Bullshit!" The first shinigami shouted. Veins were almost bursting out my forehead.
"Your turn." I elbowed him in the ribs and kept my Zanpakutō pointed down.
"My turn what?"
"I have no idea. Try and communicate with your Zanpakutō."
"Dude, we just started. How could I do tha-"
"Just try it!" We stood in silence for a few minutes as he sat and rested his Zanpakutō across his lap. After a few minutes, he stood back up and shouted " PIERCE THEIR SOULS! AME'O'SASU!" There was a massive flash of light as his blade was transformed from the normal asauchi to his shikai. It turnt jagged as the hilt curled around his hand, and the blade split down the middle and spiked off in all directions. The hilt carried on past his wrist and led up to his elbow, where it ended in many points. It bent back and forth, becoming a metal mess.
"Ame'o'sasu, huh?" I questioned.
"Don't you wanna try yours?"
"Naa. Leave it for something special."
"You fault when you fail."
"3...2...1...GO!"
