Hello everybody, Reaper again. Well, it's gonna be a slow process, but I'm going to do this story if it kills me. Without further delay, Chapter 2 of Seireitei's Angel.
Also, I own nothing except my OC.
**"Talking"**
**Thinking**
**"Zanpakuto/Hollow Talking"**
**Zanpakuto/Hollow Thinking**
Isane was just finishing up her report to her captain, "….and then he passed out from what seemed like exhaustion." Retsu Unohana, a woman that had a motherly feel and black hair with blue eyes, nodded her head as she listened to her Third Seat's recount. Lying nearby in a bed was Arthur; his arms now covered with bandages with blood stains scattered around.
"What did you say you saw when he attacked the hollow?" Unohana asked with curiosity in her eyes. Isane looked at Arthur as she responded, "A blinding white light." His bandages will need to be changed. She sighed as she stood up, walking over to a nearby cabinet. As she started to re-apply his wrappings, Retsu got a faraway look, Not only does he have pure white reiatsu, but he also has this strange ability.
"Isane, I want you to stay here and guard him, I'll also request for another to join you shortly." With that, Unohana left without giving her 3rd Seat a chance to answer. I must inform the other captains and the Head Captain.
**Time Skip**
Unohana finished giving her report to the captains and waited for their response. "A pure white reiatsu signature you say?" asked the 12th Division Captain, Mayuri Kurotsuchi. He looked deep in thought, as did the rest of the captains. Well, all except Kenpachi Zakari.
"And you say he took out this hollow after only being here for half an hour?" The 11th Division Captain had a maniacal smirk on his face as he asked this. "Yes, Captain Zakari, it two hits no less." This caused him to let out a booming laugh, "Oh yeah, now I definitely need to fight this kid." His statement caused all other captains to roll their eyes. "Not while he is under my care. Is that clear?" A sinister feeling fell over Kenpachi as he saw Unohana give him a smile. "Uh yeah, sure." Even the psychotic, battle loving captain knew not to mess with her when she got like this.
"What level would you say his reiatsu is at?" Everyone stopped when they heard the gruff, but firm voice of their Head Captain, Genryusai Yamamoto. Mayuri spoke up as looked a paper in his hands, "At least at the level of a fourth seated officer." "And what's more," came the voice of Unohana, "he seems to be able to control it, at least subconsciously." This caught everyone's attention. "That's quite unusual." The 5th Division Captain, Aizen Soskue, spoke; breaking the ice.
"We will test the boy to see just what he can do." Yamamoto looked at his captains, "Are there any objections?" Just as everyone was about to answer, a large amount of reiatsu flooded the area.
"Seems we won't have to wait." The blunt and dead tone of Byakuya Kuchki, the 6th Division Captain, brought everyone back down to earth.
"That feels like Ikkaku." All eyes went to Zakari as Unohana face palmed. "I knew that was a bad idea."
**Earlier, Back at the 4th Division Barracks**
"Why do I have to do this again?" asked Ikkaku Madarame, the Third Seat of the 11th Division, for the sixth time. "I told you, Captain Unohana wants us to guard Arthur." Why do all of the 11th Division act like children? An exasperated sigh escaped Isane's lips for the third time.
"But it's soooo boring!" Taking it out of its scabbard with a sigh, Ikkaku began to shine his sword. "Just how strong is this kid that they two Third Seats to guard him?" he looked at her with curiosity in his eyes.
"Well, he did defeat a medium class Hollow after being awake for only 30 minutes." Isane got a dreamy look in her eyes and let slip a quiet sigh. Noticing this, Ikkaku let out a small chuckle. "What is it?" she asked with a confused expression. "Nothing, anyway, how exactly did he beat it?" He stopped shining his sword and listened closely, very interested to hear this.
"Ugghhhh, what happened and why do I feel like I got hit by ten brick walls?" Arthur sat up in the bed with a splitting head ache, "And why is it so bright?" He tried to stand up, but Isane was at his side the moment he moved. "Take it easy, you used up a lot of your reiatsu." "My what?" Arthur had a look of utter confusion all over his face.
"Reiatsu, the spiritual energy that flows through all of us." Arthur looked over and noticed the bald man with the sword across the room. "Sorry for all these questions, but who the hell are you?" Ikkaku gave a small smirk, "Ikkaku Madarame, Third Seat of the 11th Division." Isane looked over Arthur and wrote some small details on a clipboard, a feint blush appearing on her cheeks, "I was just about to explain how you saved me." She then proceeded to tell Ikkaku what happened.
He let out a long whistle, "Wow, you must be pretty strong." Arthur blushed a little bit at the praise. All of a sudden, Ikkaku got a glint in his eye, along with an idea. That could be fun. "Do you think you could do that again?" Arthur blinked a few times before answering. "I don't know, maybe if I- WHAT THE HELL!?"
Arthur was just able to dodge the sword that slashed at his direction. "Madarame, what are you doing?" Isane watched on with wide eyes. "Having a bit of fun and seeing what he can do." He slashed again at Arthur, who barely made it out the door. "Oh no you don't." Ikkaku appeared in front of him, causing his instincts to take over. Stepping to the side, Arthur dodged the strike and threw a punch, catching the officer off guard.
Connecting with his face, Ikkaku was forced back, Arthur twisting his fist as he struck. "Well, well," wiping his face as he stood back up, "someone can fight back." Arthur prepared himself as Ikkaku charged again, this time more prepared. He surprised Arthur when he started to use his scabbard along with the sword. While he was able to dodge the sword easily enough, Arthur kept getting smacked around with the scabbard. "Is this all you got?"
Arthur was getting pissed. He couldn't land anymore hits on this guy. With a loud smack, he was flung back and hit the ground hard. "That's enough!" Isane was about to run out when she felt that same rush of reiatsu from the night before. "Don't worry, Isane-chan, he'll have to try harder than that."
Standing up, Arthur's body was covered with a layer of shining light, his eyes shining slightly. "Yeah, know we're talking." Ikkaku was smiling like a madman now, the prospect of a good fight exciting him. He ran at Arthur, preparing to strike, but as the blade came down, Arthur caught it in his hands. Pulling him in, Arthur drove his knee into Ikkaku's stomach, making the man gag. Flying back, Ikkaku was about to pick up his sword when he felt a bunch of familiar reiatsu signatures. "Oh shit." Turning around, he faced all of the captains of the Gotei 13.
"Ikkaku, you mind tellin' me why you're on the ground when fighting against the newbie?" Zakari walked forward, looking down at his subordinate. "What can I say; the kids got power and surprised me." The smile never left his face as talked to his captain.
"Well, I think that was a great test; wouldn't you all say?" All present turned around to see the Head Captian giving a small smile.
There it is, Chapter 2. This one was a lot of fun to do. Leave a few follows and reviews. Next is what the Captains plan to do with Arthur. Reaper, over and out.
