Shinigami's Fantasy
Chapter 1
Inviting Re-Encounter
An abnormal day in Karakura-cho. Hollows are coming in exceedingly fast so Ichigo, Uryu, Sado and Orihime come to the place where tons of hollows are gathering up to see what is going on and why some shinigami hasn't come and eliminated them yet. The group stops and crouches behind a bush when they enter a clearing and there's a group of about 10 shinigami. Said shinigami were looking around and murmuring amongst themselves with curiosity. Soon enough all the hollows begin to disintegrate rather rapidly as a spirit gate appears and starts to open slowly. As the gate opens, some misty fog and icy air comes out and it sends chills to the shinigami and teenagers nearby. As the person within the spirit gate steps one foot out slowly the atmosphere starts to shake violently seeming to tear the sky apart. The group of teens, (that was currently hiding behind a bush), eyes widen from feeling the great reiatsu. As Orihime falls on all fours and starts to gasp out loudly, the shinigami in the clearing start to get light headed and get start to stumble on their feet. If it weren't then, that the owner of the gi-normus reiatsu sealed back up its reiatsu then most likely all of the shinigami and humans would have ended up knocking out.
While everyone else was busy trying to catch their own breaths Ichigo's eyes were wide in shock. That reiatsu felt so familiar but it couldn't be hers, could it? The reiatsu was way to strong and it seemed to be distant in a way. Ichigo thought to himself.
After regaining their composure the teens continue to look out into the clearing. The cold and damp fog began to clear up and the spirit gate closed up as a hell butterfly came fluttering out and then flew away past the strong reiatsu's owner and upwards towards the now peaceful blue sky.
There stands Rukia with a blank expression on her face, arms crossed and she looks bored. She then smirks towards the 10 shinigami, and they all bow to her respectfully and then they stand up straight with their faces held high and look as though they are waiting for orders. Rukia's smirk is replaced by a light scowl. At this point Ichigo, along with his friends, have their mouths hanging open. Uryu is babbling and stuttering like an idiot, while Chad is shaking his head side to side as he cannot believe what he is seeing. Orihime has her eyes wide as saucers, while Ichigo is dumbstruck and can't take his eyes off of Rukia and he slowly mumbles out her name. She is in her regular black shinigami robes, and has on a white captain's haori with the number 13 integrated in the back while her sword is resting lightly on the edge of her left hip. Rukia looks different, way different, for she is now way taller and her body is more developed/matured. Her hair is longer and her face does not look childish anymore instead it looks more mature and defined and beautiful. The lone strand in the middle of her face is gone, instead it is now swept back and into the rest of her raven hair. She takes in a deep breath and then exhales.
"Sorry I'm late I had some uh-some business to attend-to." Rukia finishes quickly making up an excuse for being late. She didn't want to let the shinigami recruits know that the real reason she was late was because she got lost. Stupid coordinates Rukia thought to herself.
"Hai. It's alright Kuchiki, daiko taicho." The shinigami all respond in unison.
Daiko Taicho? Ichigo wonders to himself.
"Hhm." Rukia grunts out as she uncrosses her arms and runs a hand through her spiky layered hair. "Kay. Listen up!" She paused briefly before continuing. "You have all been carefully selected and assigned to join the 13th squad, and therefore you must be prepared. The 13th squad specializes in Kido, but it wouldn't be bad to through in some swordsmanship, and some hand to hand combat. And so as ordered by Yamamoto sou-taicho, I was chosen to train you. Is that understood?" Rukia spoke with such boldness and authority.
The teens stayed crouching in their spots and watched curiously towards the amethyst eyed shinigami.
"Watashitachi wa wakarimasu." They shinigami replied.
Rukia nodded. "We will start out today's training lesson by using a bit of hollow bait. So-in about- uh- 40 seconds a hollow will show up here, and I will review the right way to kill it. You have a choice to either go face to face or attack it from the back. But one thing is certain; you have to slice its head in two." She held up her right arm and made a peace/two sign. "There are no exceptions. Unless of course, you want to die, or at least get hurt. Ya got that?" As Rukia finished she lifted her face up a bit and then placed her hand on her katana.
"Yes sir!" Came the loud response.
As this was said a hollow roared and started floating towards Rukia. As fast as the hollow had appeared it was gone in the blink of an eye. The shinigami looked back at her who was standing crossing her arms and smirking.
"Now-I bet that, none of you guys saw what just happened? I'm I right?" Rukia raised an eyebrow. Mumbling was all that was heard throughout the shinigami. "No, I guess you didn't. But if you are determined and practice hard you'll be able to move at a high speed of shunpo, or at least see things move at such a high speed." She smirked. "Now with thi-guh" Rukia gasped sharply and stopped abruptly as she quickly turned on her heel and got her sword out, just in time to block a fierce fatal sword attack to her back.
Author's Note:
No! Oh well there's a cliffhanger for ya. Hope you guys, whoever is reading this, enjoyed the chapter. So who is this attacker? Read the next chapter to find out, when post it up that is. Please tell me if I did well in the review thingy or whatever. Oh by the way I don't think the title has anything to do with the story (yet) but it sounded pretty cool so I left it. See you on the next chapter coming soon!
