Chapter 2

Sora's eyes snapped open in shock, his body bolting up from where he lay flat. Automatically his hands started searching for Yoru, groping for the security of his twin.

The hands that met his were not Yoru's at all; they were too soft and slender. He turned to look into cornflower blue eyes, his own teal ones frightened.

"Aunt Matsu?"

Matsumoto nodded, squeezing the teen's hand. "Are you alright, Sora? Do I need to call Unohana-taichou?"

Sora shook his head. "No… Yoru, where's Yoru?"

The woman gestured to his other side, and Sora turned to see the pained visage of his twin. He reached out, concerned, but merely took Yoru's limp hand and squeezed.

"What happened?" Sora asked. "I only remember Dad joining in to protect Papa…"

Matsumoto nibbled on her lower lip. "The Arrancar had some sort of a bomb to cover up opening a Garganta. Yoru protected you from most of the blast, but you're both doing okay. You've been out for three days."

"Will Yoru be okay?"

The woman nodded. "He just needs a little rest, but he'll be fine."

Sora suddenly realized that Matsumoto had never mentioned what had happened to his parents. "Aunt Matsu? Where are my parents?"

At those words Matsumoto hesitated, her eyes flickering away from Sora's. The teen felt his heart stop at that, knowing that something serious must have happened. He squeezed Matsumoto's hand, trying to make her look at him again. "Aunt Matsu. What's happened to my parents?"

She sighed. "They… they're gone, Sora. No one has seen them since the explosion. We've discovered that they've been taken into Hueco Mundo."

Sora could only stare at the woman, his teal eyes wide in shock and his lips slightly parted. "They're… They're gone?"

Matsumoto nodded. "I'm sorry, Sora."

The teen looked down, and his hand tightened on Yoru's fingers, wishing that his elder twin was awake to comfort him. Yoru was good at that role; he often took over whenever Sora's emotions won him over. He could feel his body shaking, but he tried to stop, but he just couldn't calm himself down.

Gone… Dad and Papa are gone… Taken to Hueco Mundo? Why… Why?.!

When Yoru woke up it was slow and painful, his body protesting. He opened his eyes carefully, his hand clenching where he could feel other fingers tangled with his.

"Yoru?"

The teen turned to meet identical dark teal eyes, blinking at the worry and fear in those eyes. "Sora…" He shifted, pushing himself up slowly. "Are you okay?"

Sora nodded. "Yea, I'm fine. You put yourself in the way, dolt."

Yoru smiled slightly. "Well of course. I have to protect my little brother."

"You're only 6 minutes older…" Sora grumbled under his breath. "But thanks."

The elder twin looked into his brother's eyes, frowning as he saw the fear in them. Sora might have been the more emotional twin, but it was not often that he was afraid. "Sora, what's wrong?" His eyes narrowed. "What happened?

Sora's eyes moved away from his. "What do you remember?"

"The explosion." Yoru responded instantly. "Dad and Papa trying to protect us from that Arrancar." His eyes suddenly widened. "Dad and Papa. Where are they?"

"Gone." Sora whispered. "Aunt Matsu said that they were taken into Hueco Mundo."

"Taken…" Yoru whispered. "But why? I don't understand…"

Sora shook his head slightly. "They don't know, but I do have a theory."

Yoru couldn't resist a slight smile. Trust Sora to always have some sort of a theory. He did take after their Papa after all. "Well? What do you think?"

The younger twin closed his eyes, crossing his arms and taking up his thinking pose, one that was quite similar to Toshiro's. "Well… Dad, for example, is really powerful, right? He achieved shikai and bankai while he was still human, as well as in a short time and very young. Plus he has 'gichi, making him even more powerful."

Yoru nodded in agreement, but remained silent as his twin continued. "And then there's Papa, who also achieved shikai and bankai very young, and was made a captain young as well. His bankai is still maturing, though it is very close to full power, but he still has unlocked potential despite how powerful he already is."

"And they're both captains, making good bargaining chips." Yoru muttered, catching on to what Sora was saying.

Sora nodded. "Exactly. Better yet, Aizen will no doubt attempt to turn them both into Arrancar, or something close to it. He might attempt to get 'gichi to take full control, for example, or turn Papa into a vaizard. While I don't think that's likely to be a problem, as 'gichi would refuse and Papa's more than powerful enough to control a Hollow should that happen, but even so…"

A soft growl came from Yoru. "They also, as captains, know classified information. Which means…"

"…Aizen might torture them." Sora said grimly, his face serious and scared.

Yoru pushed himself to his feet, stretching as his body protested. "Let's go find Renji, Sora. He'll know more stuff than we do, and maybe he can help us out."

Together the two headed out of the 4th division barracks, bypassing everyone as they did. Yoru took the lead as they stepped into shunpo towards the Fifth, where they knew Renji to be by the glow of his reiatsu.

"Renji!" Yoru called as they reached the office, opening the door to see Renji standing inside, his face annoyed and worried.

The redhead looked up as they came in, his red-brown eyes meeting Yoru's dark teal eyes. "Yoru, Sora. How are you doing?"

"We're fine." Sora said agreeably, but Yoru ignored the question, his face set in a scowl as he jumped into why they came.

"What do you know about our parents?"

Renji's expression sobered. "We're not sure. We know that they're in Hueco Mundo, but we don't know the full extent of why or where they are. I'm pretty sure they're in Las Noches, though."

Sora took a step forward, his eyes hopeful. "They're going to go save them, right?"

The redhead was silent, and then he sighed. "Yamamoto-soutaichou has forbidden any rescue attempts. Rukia and I are being watched, I believe."

"What?.!" Yoru yelled. "They're just going to leave them to Aizen?.!" His hands clenched, and Sora winced as his anger thundered through their link. "After all that they've done? They are going to just be thrown to the Hollows, to Aizen's mercy?.! How could they?.!" Sora couldn't hold back a soft yip as a pang shot through his mind as Yoru's fury grew. He heard Koorimasu whine as Kogasu roared with a reflection of his master's anger.

"Yoru!" Renji snapped. "Calm down, you're hurting your brother!"

Yoru's anger left nearly instantly, his eyes moving to Sora, who looked away distractedly. He looked back to Renji, reigning in his anger. "But, Renji…"

"I know, kid. I'm not very happy about it either." Renji muttered. "There's not much I can do about it, though. I'm a taichou, I can't just leave my division."

Yoru growled again, and then grabbed his twin's wrist and ran from the office.

Renji shook his head, folding his arms. "Going to see Yamamoto-soutaichou, no doubt. Just like his father…"

"Wait, you're not supposed to go in there!"

Yoru pushed past the 1st division fukutaichou, Sora apologizing softly as he stumbled after his twin as Yoru marched up to where Yamamoto sat at his desk.

"Why don't you let someone go after my parents?" Yoru demanded, his dark teal eyes flaming with anger.

Yamamoto stared at him, his face calm. "You wouldn't understand, Kurosaki Yoru."

Sora frowned. "We just want to know, whether or not we understand it."

Yamamoto met his gaze. "You are much like your Papa, Kurosaki Sora. No doubt he would have said the same thing." He turned back to Yoru, who was still bristling with anger. "We cannot afford to lose any more captains. We are in the middle of a war, and should Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Toshiro be swayed, we must have every available shinigami to fight."

The orange-haired teen bristled, clenching his teeth and fists. "Even if you did, you would never be able to beat them." he growled. Sora glanced at him in shock, and then Yoru's hand enclosed his wrist. "Come on."

"If you go, Kurosaki Yoru, do not expect to be treated kindly by the Gotei 13. You will be considered deserters." Yamamoto informed calmly.

Both twins turned to look at him, speaking as one, their eyes blazing. "So be it."

Urahara Kisuke frowned behind the shield of his fan. He understood what was asked of him, as well as why, but part of him wondered if he should say no.

However, he could remember the time all those years ago when a very similar young man had stood in front of him, eyes blazing just like these boys' were. He smiled faintly, and then nodded. "Very well, you two, I'll help you out. I can't go with you, but I can open the door for you."

A wide smile spread across Sora's face. "Really? Thank you so much, Urahara-san, we owe you one!"

The man shook his head. "No, you don't owe me anything." He tilted his head. "On the contrary, you do owe me one thing."

Yoru frowned, folding his arms. He obviously expected something bad, but he didn't say anything.

Urahara smiled faintly. "Bring them back alive."

The twins smiled at that, speaking together as they had a knack for doing. "Don't worry, we plan on it."

Alright, here's another important announcement. There is currently a poll on my profile that I would like everyone who is reading this to participate in. Depending on how many responses I get, it may or may not affect the story. Please look at it, and please review!
