From now onwards I will be referring to Harry as Kyoka Suigetsu. In the previous chapter I only referred to him as 'he'. Special thanks to darkphoenix900, betabay and pokermaniac039 for reviewing.
Many years had passed since the day Aizen had learnt his true name. Aizen had gone far in those few years. Kyoka Suigetsu couldn't help but feel very proud of him. Aizen was a true prodigy, breezing through the Shinigami Academy. Unfortunately, the Spiritual Academy did not allow any people to skip a year. In Kyoka Suigetsu's opinion, it was pure stupidity. Because of that ridiculous rule, he was stuck training Aizen. Don't ask him, he had no idea why he knew how to perform shinigami techniques like kido. It was weird and utterly baffling. In fact, he preferred not to think about it for sanity's sake. For example,
"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui!"
This kido would cause him to start generating blue energy with his index and middle fingers, where he would then make a pushing motion with both of his palms to push the gathered energy toward the target in a concentrated blast. Now, how did he know that? He didn't know! Again, need more proof?
"Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens. Bakudō #77. Tenteikūra!"
This kido would transmit his voice to a large number of people simultaneously. It is also primarily used for communication. He would have to draw symbols upon his arms, hands, and the ground using a black powder or his own blood. Then, holding his palms out in front of him, he would generate a glowing rectangular box and performs various hand movements to create various root-like extensions in the air, which will connect to the glowing rectangle. Placing his hands up to the rectangle, the he activates the spell, causing the root-like extensions to glow and create a network extending out from the rectangle. The spell transmits messages mentally to anyone within an area of the his choosing. In addition to reciting the spell, he must also draw specific markings on their arms, which are animated by the spell, to convey the messages. The messages can be spoken either by him or by another within his vicinity.
See? He shouldn't have known that! He was no Shinigami, just a plain old Zanpakuto. Alright, there was nothing plain about him, but still! Grumbling to himself, Kyoka Suigetsu decided to practise his Shinigami skills. In order for Aizen to learn Bankai, he would have to defeat him. And he refused to make it easy. Scowling, he decided to go to Sōdoresuto.
Materializing onto his throne, he decided to head towards his dungeons. In his lovely palace, all roads and paths led to the dungeons. Unless you were one of his minions or he himself of course. Strolling towards his dungeons, he nodded to the random portraits that decorated his walls. Soon, he reached the dungeons. Actually, his dungeons weren't really dungeons. More like the padded white rooms found in mental hospitals. He found that the rooms would help break down the Zanpakuto caught and make them more... malleable. Yes, more malleable.
Looking into the rooms through small cameras situated in the rooms, he was pleased to see that there were 4 Zanpakutos occupying the rooms. Naturally, they were in different cells. Calling for Hebunrībenomu, who was a Poison-Type Zanpakuto, he asked how long each individual had been in the rooms. "Kyoka-dono, the two Fire-Type Zanpakuto have been in the cells for 37 days. As for the Melee-Type Zanpakuto, he has been in the cells for 42 days. However he is still resisting. Finally, the Water-Type Zanpakuto has been in the cells for 13 days."
"Are there any who can be taken out?"
"Yes Kyoka-dono. One of the Fire-Type Zanpakuto, I think she is called Kasai Urufu. She has broken about 12 days ago. We have been waiting for you to come back before letting her out." Nodding in approval, Kyoka Suigetsu made his way to the room with Kasai Urufu. Slowly pushing open the door, he was tackled by a young girl with wolf ears. "Please, please don't go. Fu didn't mean to come here. Kazan-nii said to come. Please, Fu is sorry!" Kasai Urufu wailed loudly as she clung onto him.
"There, there little one. We had no choice you know. You broke into my palace so you had to be punished. But it's okay now, your punishment is over. You can go, but if you want, you can stay with me." He embraced Kasai Urufu while patting her back gently.
"Weally?" asked Kasai Urufu, eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, Fu-chan. We'll take care of you." Smiling benignly, he lifted Kasai Urufu up before carrying her. As he walked out of the dungeons, he told a passing Zanpakuto to get a small room ready for Kasai Urufu. He wasn't completely heartless-just mostly. Death does things to a person after all. That was when he felt his wielder calling. Sighing, he quickened his footsteps to his throne room where he passed Kasai Urufu to one of his servants. "Fu-chan, I need to go now. Yuki no Sasayaki will take care of you. Be good, kay?" Kasai Urufu nodded passionately. "Fu will be good!"
Materializing back into his wielder's inner world, he stood behind Aizen before tapping him on his shoulder. Aizen jumped slightly, quickly looking behind him. "Kyoka Suigetsu."
"Aizen Sosuke." deadpanned Kyoka Suigetsu.
"Why are you saying my name?"
"I thought we were having a competition where we stated the obvious."
Aizen glared at him for a few moments before sitting on the ground. "Can you teach me something new? The academy are still teaching Bakudō #9. Hōrin. I mean I already memorised it several months ago! The incantation in simple. Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and tear out your own throat! I mean seriously! I have already memorised the spell several times over! I can perform it perfectly too!"
Rolling his eyes, he decided to teach Aizen Hadō #63. Raikōhō. It was relatively simple despite it being one of the more difficult spells. In fact, he hoped that Aizen would find it difficult so he could just rest. Did he know how annoying it was to be constantly asked about new techniques? Sighing, he decided to show Aizen how to do it.
"Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hadō #63. Raikōhō!" Generating an orb of yellow lighting above the palm of his hand, he fired the built-up energy into the air as a massive concentration of energy which resembled a lightning strike. Aizen could only stare in awe.
Waving his hand, Kyoka Suigetsu quickly conjured a piece of paper. Then, conjuring a pen, he scribbled the incantation down before going back to the center of the lake and meditating. He needed to check how his wielder was doing in school. Was he being bullied? Did he have fanclubs? It was very important. Just as he had begun viewing Aizen's memories, he quickly looked up and yelled, "Stop! The kido is about to explode! You are putting too much reiatsu into the kido! Fire it now!"
Aizen struggled to fire the kido into the sky, accidently aiming the kido at Kyoka Suigetsu before releasing it. Cursing, Kyoka Suigetsu immediately barked out "Bakudō #81. Dankū!" The kido created a translucent barrier in the form of a large rectangular wall in front of him. Due to that, the Hadō smashed into the barrier before dispersing harmlessly into the surroundings. As for Kyoka Suigetsu, he had collapsed to the ground in relief. He didn't want to die yet. "Maybe you should try pouring half the amount of reiatsu you put in just now?" offered Kyoka Suigetsu smiling weakly.
And...done! This chapter is complete. A question to everyone. Would you prefer me to edit the first chapter or start writing the next few chapters? If you could just tell me, thanks. Reading back on the first chapter, I found myself quite unsatisfied... :( Thanks anyway for reading.
