I Do not own Bleach or Claymore.
At the hideout. Both Ichigo and Souta walked out of the buliding. They was exhausted and tired. Out at the entrance, Yuzu, Orihime and Rukia was waiting for them. Yuzu was holding some shopping bags, she looked up at Souta.
"Souta-kun!" Yuzu ran up to him. Hugging him, Souta hugged her back.
"Hey Yuzu-chan." He looked at her. Souta and Yuzu have been very close since Souta had went to Karakura and transfered to her school Karakura Elementry. It was love at first sight. Dr. Kurosaki sometimes made ilde threats to Souta in regards to Yuzu. Mrs. Higurashi likes to have Yuzu over for helping her cook once awhile.
"Hey, Ichigo." Orihime smiled at Ichigo.
"So how did it go?" Rukia asked him.
"Not bad, He's getting better." Ichigo commented. Since it was Urahara's idea to have Ichigo train Souta, Ichigo had no choise but to train him from now on. Then as they was walking Shinji was looking at them. Then Hiyori came up.
"So how is he?" Shinji asked.
"Well just as bad as Ichigo." Hiyori replyed.
"I wasn't talkin' 'bout the kid." Shinji looked at her. He was talking about Ichigo. Lately he has his hollow undercontrol almost dormat now. It was odd it was like some other than Ichigo was pulling it back. Like a mystrious balance. It happend at the exact sametime as the rift opened up.
"Somethin's big is 'bout to happend." Shinji told Hiyori. Then he got up.
"Where ya goin' ?" she asked him.
"Tell the others to get ready." He ordered her as he grabbed his coat.
"For what?" Hiyori asked.
"For a battle." he replyed.
Meanwhile at the outskirts of Rukongai at the post. The Reiatsu Scene investagation squad (made up of Division 2, Division 4 and 12) was already on the scene. They was looking at the cracks at the ground, others was taking the body to 4th Division to the morgue. Then Renji Abarai Vice-Captain of Division 6 appeared. He looked around as he made it to the chief field Officer.
"So what happend?" Renji asked.
"Well last night there was a earthquake here," The Officer was a middle aged shinigami possibley never made it the the 13 courts division. "Division 12 picked up a two energy hubs."
"Two?" Renji looked at him.
"Yeah." THe officer had his touch pad with him. It show Reiatsu which was over the charts and another one. "It was Reiatsu and something else just was powerful."
"What about the victim?" Renji asked him as he went to the cart which carried the late shinigami.
"Well his name Fu Yung, grew up in Chinatown district 10 South of Rukongai." The officer picked up a file on the dead Shinigami. "An unseated officer of Division 3. Looks as though he was stabbed with a Katana blade."
"What about the other one?" Renji asked.
"Well, Emi Kim." The officer pulled up her file. "She's missing, presumble kidnapped."
"Or just went with them." Renji looked in the office. Oddly it was clean no sign of a struggle. Then his cell phone ranged.
"Hello."
"Abarai." A familiar auritive voice answered.
"Oh Captain Kuchiki." Renji once rival now a respective friend and Captain. They have earned each others respect after the incident with Aizen.
"Report back, General Yamamoto has called an emegancey meeting." Byakuya ordered him. "Leave the scene to the police for now."
"Roger that." Renji left the scene. Meanwhile at Seireitei. Seireitei is where the Shinigami reside and work. Divisions 1 to 13 are listed here. They watch over the Human world and Soul Society. Only a few humans know about them. They work similiar to the Claymores but unlike the Syndicate that the Claymores work for, Shinigami are more of what you say warmer (Except Division 12). Ever since Aizen deflected from Seireitei, they realized how close that they really are.
At the captain's meeting. Every division captain was at the meeting (excpect 3, 5 and 9). THey was standing in front of General Yamamoto the head of the Divisions.
"As you well know that there was a surge of reiatsu and another power source coming together froming a rift." Yamamoto informed them.
"Does this rift leads to anywhere?" Byakuya asked.
"Well no." 12 Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi for a rare moment stood forward. Nemu was right at his side with a digital PAD. He grabbed it from her rudely. "We send some of our probes into the rift. We tried to get some readings on it, but we chouldn't get a signal from it."
Then a shinobi appeared next to Soi Fon. He gave her a memory chip. Then as soon as Yamamoto peered at her direction, the shinobi dissappeared.
"Captain Soi Fon." Yamamoto addressed her. "Do you have fotage on the incident."
"Yes General." Soi Fon went to the wall and pressed a button. Then the wall opened up. Soi Fon put the chip into the slot. The video image popped up. It showed the whole incident. Then something that caught the senoir captain's eyes. The monsters that had entered from the rift, they weren't hollows, but yomas. Something that Yamamoto, Ukitake, Kyoraku nor Unohana wish to see again.
"So they're back, eh?" Kyoraku tipped his hat downward. Hitsugaya looked at him.
"What do you mean they're back?" Hitsugaya looked at him questionbly as well as the rest of the Captains.
"Nothing." Ukitake brushed off. They only people that knew about his was the senior captains. Due to the Sixth Plane Act, they weren't allowed to talk about it.
"We must stop it at all cost." Yamamoto ordered.
"But what about the monsters that are coming?" Byakuya asked.
"I'll send for some consultants." Yamamoto leaned back in his seat. "Meantime, Kurotsuchi, have your Division surve the area. Captain Kuchiki and Captain Hitsugaya will get some info from both at the Rukongai and Earth on the yoma."
After the meeting. Hitsugaya was walking back to his Division. Then someone was sneaking behind him. The figure grabbed him putting him in a headlock.
"Ok Momo-chan get him." A black blur shunpo to Hitsugaya and started to tickling him. Hitsugaya trying his best not to laugh.
"Momo-chan, Matsumoto." Hitsugaya was trying to break free. "Stop it..I mean it."
"Ok Mr. crybaby." Rangiku Matsumoto, his ample chested friend and Vice-Captain, let him go. Later on they went back to his office. Matsumoto had served them tea.
"So what happend at the meeting?" Momo Hinamori asked as she sipped her tea.
"Remember what happend last night?" Hitsugaya sat his tea down. "When we saw the footage, it got Yamamoto, and the other senior captains spooked."
"If I remember it correctly." Hinamori rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Back when Aizen was captain, he said that that a rift had opened up just like now. The ones that was involved was Aizen, General Yamamoto, Captains Unohana, Ukitake, Tousen, and Kyoraku."
"The senior officers?" Both Matsumoto and Hitsugaya looked at her.
"But since we were under his zanpakuto, I don't know if it was a lie or the truth." Hinamori layed back. She had gotten over Aizen, but she was still pissed off about it. Plus she had to bare the responsiblities of both Captain and Vice-Captain.
"Well," Matsumoto leaned forward. "We can go back to the Central 46 achives."
"Good thinking." Hitsugaya stood up. "You and Hinamori do that, I have to goto Earth."
"For what?" Hinamori asked.
"I have to see if Ichigo team knows anything about it." Hitsugaya went off to prepare to leave for Earth. Matsumoto and Hinamori finnished their drinks Then they left for Central 46.
Meanwhile at First Division office. Unohana, Ukitake, Kyoraku and Yamamoto was sitting in the office talking about the other side of rift.
"Yamamoto," Ukitake looked at his mentor. "If that's footage is true, that means that they have already assimliated some of the Rukongai citizens."
'I have taken that into consideration." Unohana put her tea down and looked at her colleges. "But As Shinigami we cannot sense the yomas presence at all, since the there is heavy concertrated reiatsu interfering."
"Only ones that can since it is the Claymores." Kyoraku tipped up his hat. "that's if we can get to them."
"Who can we get to do this?" Unohana asked.
"If that person is willing, but I hate the idea of tricking him." Ukitake looked at his fellow comrades.
"We'll see what happends next," Yamamoto leaned back as he looked at the after noon sky.
Meanwhile at the Karakura clinc. Yuzu was cooking dinner for her family, but their father Isshin Kurosaki was meeting a fellow medical doctor at the farside of town. Ichigo, Rukia, Souta and Karin was watching TV news.
A middle aged man in a trench coat and fedora hat was in the meeting room with a bunch of reports.
"We don't know much about the mass murders. This is no way connected to the crow incidents that happend a while ago."
"And now this" The news had cut to a commercial of a female high school student. Her hair was stressed out, she was surrounded by papers and folders.
"I tried to do my report," the girl grabbed one of the papers. "But the memory card was busted." Sh picked up the memory card. "I tried to get some more time to do my paper...The deadline passed. I got kicked out." She took out her gun and shot herself. The camera had zoomed in a picture of her family.
Spica's Girls' Institute: We care.
Ichigo had accidently turned to another channel. Everyone looked at him. Souta was surpised, Rukia was mad, Karin didn't care.
"Ichigo we was watching that." Rukia looked at him.
"Yeah Sensei." Souta picked up the remote.
"I told you to stop calling me that." Ichigo barked.
"Don't take it out on him." Rukia defend her young friend.
"Well, knowing Nichi Uri they'll be talking about Spica." Karin picked up Shounen Jump. Since the Spica Institute had completely taken over Strawberry hill. They have been matched as almost a zaibatsu.
"Dinner's ready." Yuzu called out. It was just in time Rukia and Ichigo was about to go at it again. Into their dinner, Ichigo's badge went off.
"A hollow?" Ichigo stopp eating. Rukia picked up her phone. The location was as a red blip.
"It's an arrancar." Rukia and Ichigo then transformed into their Shinigami form. "Come one Souta."
"Right" Souta did the same. Both Yuzu and Karin saw them leave.
"so when are you going to tell him Yuzu?" Karin looked at her sister.
"Soon, I'm just waiting ofr a good time." Yuzu replied.
Meanwhile at the otherside of the rift. Tabitha was looking at the night sky the was the rift. Inside it was black, it practicaly a void. Then Miria walked behind her.
"Anything happend?" Miria asked as she herself looked up.
"No nothing.." Tabitha meeting the eyes of her leader. "It's the same."
"What do you mean?" Miria asked.
"Well, aside from the yoma flow," Tabitha started off. "I feel several emotions. Sadness, anger, joy, peace, tranqulity all in one."
"Umm" Miria rubbed her chin. "There was a story that was similar to this."
"What do you mean?" Tabitha questioned Miria.
"This is a story that has been told my word of mouth to the single digits since the time of the male warriors." Miria started off. "Long ago... a rift had opened just like this one. Then some people dressed in black robes had came through. At that time the Sydicate had just swiched to female warriors. It was stated that a man in black robes was armed with a thin sword. In a flash he killed off about twenty yomas and awaken beings in a flash. He wore funny glasses at that time. Then he dissappeared back to the rift. That man was equal or greater than the number 1."
"Do you think that he or someone like him might come back?' tabitha asked.
"I hope not." Miria only heard the story, but never saw herself. Chould this be another invasion? Are they coming her the help Isley? If only she knew what was going on.
Meanwhile at the camp site. the other five girls was sitting around the fire. Helen was eating an apple, boy that never changes. Clare was looking at the stars. As usuall beside avenging their camrades and Teresa. She was thinking about Raki, the young boy she saved, the one that followed her around, and the one that she loved.
"Hey, Clare what's wrong?" Uma sat next to Clare. Clare looked at her fellow warrior.
"Nothing," Clare brushed off. "Just that my mind was wondering. So what's up with that rift in the sky."
"I don't know, but it had Miria alittle on edge." Uma explained.
"On Edge." Helen butted in as she was munching on her apple. "She's been like that since we left the Northern Mountains."
"Don't you think that it's hard enough on her as leader." Deneve looked at them. "besides, I'm also worried about that rift in the sky."
"Tabitha did say that there was a strong Yoki presence in that rift." Uma added in.
"Yeah but it's not like there's and Awaken One hiding inside of it" Helen took another bite of her apple. Clare looked at her friends. Then something odd happen. She felt a sharp pain in her heart as it beat. Then she started to get dizzy, she looked at her friends, then her vision started to blur. She lost consciousness, the nshe opened her eyes and she was at a strange place. The ground and the sky was at a blushin tone. Then she saw two guys fighting. A black cloaked one and one that was white head to two. They was fighting with strange looking swords, but it was the same length as a normal claymore in not longer. The man in black was getting his butt kicked, by the man in white. She sat up, then she turned around and saw a guy in a long tater coat with a five o'clock shadow and sunglasses.
"what are you doing here?" The man looked at Clare. He was speaking in another language. Then she woke up and saw her friends around her.
"Hey Clare wake up?!" Helen was shaking her. Then Clare got up.
"Clare are you alright?" Miria asked.
"Yeah," She was rubbing her head.
"What happen to ya" Helen looked at her friend.
"I don't know." Clare replied as she got up. "I was in another world."
"What?" Helen looked at her friend. "What are you talking about?"
"Nevermind." Clare saw no need to further explain what happend to her. She was sure that she was in another world. Who was those guys that was fighting?
Later that night. Clare woke up and saw that her claymore friends was asleep. Helen was snoring, Deneve and Cynthia had stuck some cloths in their ears. Clare, not wishing to wake her friends, she crept to the river not far from the site. She was at the river washing her face. Still thinking of that place.
"So what really happend?" Clare turned around to the voice. It was Miria standing behind her.
"Nothing." Clare repeated her answer.
"Bullshit. Tell me what happend." Miria ordered.
"Fine." Clare saw no need to lie. "When I fainted, I was in another world. I saw two guys figting. They was in capes and had strange swords. One was in a black cape and the other was in a white cape. She I looked around I saw a man in a tater cloak with glasses. he spoke to me, but it was in another language."
"Another language?" Miria rubbed her chin thoughtfully. Was that place in beyond the rift. Is Clare some how connected?
Meanwhile at the other end of the land further east. A man with a fedora hat had just came back from giving a claymore an assignment. He looked up at the sky. The rift was still there. Just like before when he came.
"Looks nice." A voice speaking another langauge spoke out. A man with fox eyes and silver hair came out. He was dressed in a white robe and was armed with a short sword. "Dosn't it, Rubel"
"Ichimaru Gin, It's been awhile." Rubel looked at Gin. Both of them was grinning at each other.. What is Gin's connection with the Syndicate?
