I do not own the characters or story of Bleach or Inuyasha. My own characters that I made up are a different matter though.
An arrancar relaxing in his room thinking about his future plans and what he has been through to get this far. He had long white hair that went down to his waist, white dog ears on his head, bright yellow eyes, and two jagged blue slash marks across his cheeks. He wore a white arrancar uniform lined with black like the others that reminded him of his old fire rat robe from when he was alive, it was similar except that it was tighter in the chest area with a deep V-neck collar showing off his lean muscles, the sleeves were baggy like his fire rat and the pants also stayed the same, and of course he wore the typical arrancar shoes as well. His mask fragment took the shape of a bone white band across the top of his head with two triangular plates that protected the top of his dog ears.
He stayed in his quarters that were given to all the Espada in the middle of a living space on a white fur rug laying on his side, one leg up and resting his head on his hand. There was a rapid knock on his door and he shouted enter to whoever was on the other side of the door. He didn't even need to sense the spiritual pressure, because his heightened sense of smell told him it was one of Aizen's right hand men Gin.
"Well hello there Inu" He said in a joyful voice and ever present grin on his face as he strolled right into his living space.
"What do you want Gin" Inuyasha asked annoyed by this creep.
"My, always so rude aren't you" Gin said.
"Spit it the hell out already!" He shouted.
"Lord Aizen wishes to speak with you" Gin said still grinning which constantly pissed him off.
"Fine" Inuyasha said getting up from his position. He walked passed Gin into one of the many white corridors of Las Noches. "You ever going to tell me what your always smiling about?" he asked Gin as he walked by him.
"I'm sure you'll one day understand what makes me so happy Inu" was Gin's only answer.
"On second thought I don't want to know" he said disappearing with sonido. He arrived at Aizen's personal office and knocked twice. He entered after being invited, stepping inside he saw the Lord of Las Noches sitting at his desk. The room was decorated in all white just like the rest of the palace.
"You wished to speak with me Lord Aizen" he said giving a quick bow. Normally he would never show this much respect to someone, but this man was his only hope if he wanted to live peacefully with Kagome and since the day that she would return to her time was only two years away, he would swallow his pride and bow to an authority for now.
"Yes I did Inuyasha, I won't waste any time so I'll start with your assignment" Aizen began his usual pleased expression in place while resting his cheek against his knuckles. "As you know I'm sending Ulquiorra along with Yammy to the world of the Living to evaluate the current strength of substitute soul reaper Ichigo Kurosaki and see if he is a threat."
"Yes I heard at the last meeting" Inuyasha said.
"I've decided to send you along with them, but not to fight, I simply want you to observe" Aizen gave out his assignment that confused him greatly.
"Lord Aizen I don't fully understand why you want me to go, after all someone as intelligent and perceptive as Ulquiorra should be enough to tell you the strength of that soul reaper kid". He asked unsure about his lord's motives.
"Yes Ulquiorra is quite perceptive about another's power in logical sense, but you seem to have an interesting insight to someone's true power that surpasses mere logic and I it find very useful. After all you were the one helped me with the Espada numbered rankings", Aizen said reminding him long ago in the early days of when he joined Aizen and became an arrancar, he helped Aizen accurately judge everyone's strength as well as the choosing of their numbers.
"So you want me to see if I think this kid can become a possible threat in the future because I'll be able to see his true power" he asked.
"Essentially yes, now they leave for the world of the living in an hour so prepare yourself, dismissed" and with that Aizen returned to his work and Inuyasha left to return to his room and get ready.
As Inuyasha made his way through the halls he thought about the former soul reaper captain's orders. It didn't make sense that Aizen just wanted him and Ulquiorra to examine the kid's strength and report what they think back to him. If he saw this Ichigo Kurosaki as a potential threat why not then destroy him now, but Lord Aizen ordered them not to if he is deemed not a threat, like he was expecting him to not be one. It almost seemed like Aizen actually wanted the boy to become stronger, but for what was beyond him. After all if you wanted to topple the Soul Society and become the Spirit King wouldn't it be best to eliminate anyone who could possibly stop you. He decided not to dwell on it as long as Kagome and her family were kept out of all this then everything would be fine.
As he walked back into his room his two fraccion Sara and Zana greeted him excitedly. Sara and Zana were two arrancar teenage looking girls that were identical twins the only differences were that Sara had long bleach blonde hair and bright blue eyes, while Zana had long black hair and bright orange eyes. Both wore white sleeveless vests and shorts. Another similarity was that both had the same mask fragment of a white halo shape piece that sat on top of their heads. What originally drew him to them when he went to choose fraccion was there hyper active and mischievous personality, flirtatious sometimes perverted behavior, strong will and determination reminded him of all the traits of his friends from when he was alive. He really missed Miroku, Sango and Shippo and having Sara and Zana around brought back all the best memories of them. They were a very strong pair when they fought, he had first-hand experience himself when he trained them and saw how they work together. They were also very loyal and surprisingly protective of him always getting angry and defensive when Grimmjow and Nnoitora came around to pick a fight, or when Barragan threw an insult at him, and they even got jealous whenever he spoke to any female arrancar like Halibel or her fraccion.
"Greetings Master Inuyasha" They both said at the same time.
"Sara, Zana" he greeted as he passed them.
"Lord Aizen has given me an assignment so I'll be leaving in a few minutes" he told.
"But you just got back" Sara said disappointed.
"Can't we come too" Zana asked putting on her best puppy eyes.
"Sorry girls it's just me this time" Inuyasha said hoping to end the issue.
"Lord Aizen is making you go alone" Sara said concerned.
"No I'll be going with Ulquiorra and Yammy"
"Why are three Espada being sent out" Zana asked curious.
"Some soul reaper kid he wants us to find and see what he can do" He said heading out the door. "See you girls later", he waved a quick good bye and disappeared via sonido to meet up with the other two Espada for the mission.
He appeared before Ulquiorra and Yammy just as they were getting ready to leave. Yammy didn't look happy to see him and Ulquiorra just had his usually void of emotions expression.
"What the hell are you doing here freak!" Yammy shouted.
"Want to see the last guy that called me that" Inuyasha said while cracking his clawed fingers shutting him up.
"What do you want" Ulquiorra's monotone voice asked.
"Lord Aizen requested I tag along with you" he said.
"I was not aware" the pale Espada said not even fazed by the news.
"It was kind of a last minute order" Inuyasha supplied.
"I see"
"Let's just hurry this up" the dog eared Espada spoke to the rest folding his arms in front of his chest. Ulquiorra quickly opened a garganta and stepped inside followed by the other two.
Later The Three Espada returned to Las Noches. The large one appeared to be quite beaten up covered in bruises and missing his left arm. The other two smaller ones didn't even have a scratch on them. They walked into the main hall surrounded by various other Espada and arrancar with Aizen sitting high up in his throne.
"We have returned Lord Aizen" Ulquiorra spoke.
"Welcome back" Aizen greeted them. Inuyasha just stood there and ignored all the stuff that was said and everything Ulquiorra showed with his weird eye trick, as well as Grimmjow's complaining. He snapped out of his daze when Aizen addressed him.
"Inuyasha I would like to hear your report later in private" and with that they were dismissed. Before he left he noticed that Grimmjow looked pissed about something or another, but he didn't care. Inuyasha decided he would check back in with his fraccion who were probably both worried about him right now.
"Hey I'm back girls" He greeted Sara and Zana as he entered his quarters and they both as expected bombarded him with endless questions. After he answered based on his point of view of the mission they all decided to relax in the sitting area of his quarters. Sara and Zana sat on a couch together across from him and talked about how their training was going and discussed about other male arrancars they thought were cute. He ignored most of the latter stuff. After an hour of conversing and joking around with his fraccion he decided to go find Aizen and give him his version of the mission report.
On his way there he was met by the blind soul reaper Kaname Tosen. Tosen told him that Aizen was expecting him and led him to one of the other throne rooms that were reserved so he could speak one on one in private with someone. He walked into the large spacious room while Tosen remained outside. Aizen himself sat in his large chair this time only a few steps higher than him.
"So glad you could join me Inuyasha" Aizen said smiling at him. "I take it you enjoyed your mission to the world of the living".
"Well I didn't really get a chance to explore around Lord Aizen as our target came to us shortly after we arrived" Inuyasha spoke recalling his trip and experience witnessing the substitute soul reaper's power.
"So tell me what you think of Ichigo Kurosaki"
"The kid seems rash and impulsive. Someone seems to have trained him well, his speed and strength were impressive for a while" he explained.
"That was the point when the boy's hollow powers tried to manifest" Aizen said.
"After that he pretty much got the living hell beat out of him, not much to say there" He said giving a sigh of disappointment. He really thought the kid could give him a better show if Aizen was so interested in him, but oh well.
"About what we discussed earlier, what do you have to say of his true power?"
"This kid's true power comes from his will and desire to protect those close to him" Inuyasha placed his hand on his sword absent mindedly. The brown haired soul reaper just seemed pleased at his report for some reason. "You wanted my opinion and I think that he definitely could become a threat very soon"
"I see then we are in agreement then" Aizen said surprising Inuyasha.
"Shall I go destroy him then since we both know he will be a problem" Inuyasha suggested.
"There's no need for that, it appears Grimmjow has defied orders and taken his fraccion to the world of the living" Aizen said not sounding the least bit angry. Inuyasha understood completely that this was all planned. He seriously doubted that the kid could put up much of a fight against Grimmjow at his current level, will to protect or not this problem will soon be resolved.
"You knew then, didn't you sir" Aizen just smiled instead of answering the question.
"Shall we change the subject? What did think of the girl that Ulquiorra observed and her power?" Inuyasha looked confused then suddenly surprised as realization dawned on him.
There it is chapter 2! time for shots! Thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorited and followed it really motivated me to write more.
One of the tricky things that had me stuck for a while was figuring out what Inuyasha's arrancar mask fragment would. Nothing I came up with seemed appropriate until I realized it has to be something that draws attention to his ears.
Oh wait to you read the sword release I have planned for him. Also I've decided to keep Inuyasha's espada number a secret for now.
I will state this now for all to read Sara and Zana do not, I repeat, DO NOT have a romantic interest in our half demon main character. They remind him of his friends from the past and act like sisters to him. Hopefully some of you can see what I'm trying to do with this. hint word: sisters
