Chapter 2. New Resolve
As Toushirou slowly cracked his eyes open he immediately heard the sounds of people shouting and several screams of terror. His eyes shot open and he tried to lunge forward but he was immediately stopped by a gentle hand to his chest which he grabbed tightly with his right hand instinctively.
"What the?!" Toushirou asked as his eyes came back into focus and he realized that he was lying in a bed wearing what appeared to be a hospital gown, he then looked at the hand that had stopped him and saw that it was attached to a tall female shinigami with incredibly strange platinum blonde hair and was wearing a badge around her left arm with the kanji for four stamped above a bellflower "where am I?" he asked as he tried to breathe calmly.
"You're in squad four's main hospital" the young woman told him "I'm Isane Koutestu the lieutenant of squad four, could you please let go of my arm?"
Toushirou looked to his hand and immediately let go "I'm sorry, what happened to me?" Suddenly he felt a strong pain from his shoulder.
"You were seriously injured while fighting a hollow in Peru" Isane stated calmly "your fifth seat called one of our teams out and had you rushed here."
Suddenly a loud crack came from outside the room and a loud voice half shouted something incoherent.
"If this is a hospital why does it sound like a warzone out there?" Toushirou asked as he waved his hand in front of his eyes and made sure everything was working.
"It's those guys from squad eleven" Isane sighed "apparently a couple of them snuck in some sake after they were injured in Rukongai, anyway you have a couple of visitors I'll let them in before I go deal with them" she stated nervously while thinking "why me?"
Isane opened the door and looked to her right to see only one of the boy's two visitors sitting in a chair close by. She was a new recruit who had just joined squad five and had light black hair which she wore in a bun towards the top of her head with brown eyes.
"Is he awake?" she asked concern evident in her voice.
"He's fine Miss Hinamori" Isane reassured her "he just woke up so please take it easy on him, by the way did his other visitor leave?"
"No" Momo stated "he went over towards those men from squad eleven, he said that he was going to 'help get them under control' and just before he got up these strange black marks appeared on his body and his teeth and nails grew out; he looked more like a demon than a person."
"Black marks?" Isane asked before it hit her "oh no, I forgot the fifth seat of squad nine!" she squealed nervously as she tried to make her way through the crowds gathered around the obnoxious members of squad eleven leaving a confused Momo Hinamori.
When she finally worked her way through she saw that there were two of them, they each appeared to be completely intoxicated judging by their posture and the way they were swinging their arms around.
"Com on na, wha's this cwap bout no sake in thee infimawy?" one of them asked confirming beyond a reasonable doubt that he was drunk.
"Yea I men wha's the bug deal" the other added.
Isane then saw the fifth seat of squad nine sneaking up on them rubbing his hands together with a sinister smile. Before she could make a move, he stopped and raised and eye brow in interest. Isane turned her gaze instantly to see what caught his attention.
"Excuse me gentlemen" a soft voice called out causing the pair of drunken idiots to turn in terror as they saw a woman who appeared to be in her late twenties or early thirties with long black hair braided in a ponytail in front of her, wearing a white long sleeved haori with the kanji for four on the back.
"Ca…Ca…Captain Unohana, we ah didn't see you there" they said in terror.
"You both must be feeling very well if your up and causing such a ruckus" Retsu stated sweetly "but you should remember that while you are in this hospital you're in my care and that I am completely in charge of everything that goes on here, therefore while your under this roof you will keep the volume down and abide by our rules which include no alcohol within the facility; after all you never know when a dangerous individual might be here to visit someone" she gestured towards Alexander who was only a few feet behind them apparently taking notes on what Retsu was doing before he smiled darkly at them and waved "and if they were to do anything life threatening to you, the members of my squad four would be left holding your lives completely in their hands" she then blinked before taking up a rather dark yet somehow calm expression at the same time "never forget that."
Both the drunks jumped back in terror before saying "yes ma'am, it won't happen again before breaking off in a mad dash down the nearby hallway and everyone else burst out laughing.
Unohana then turned to Alexander who was still covered in the black marks when he asked "captain Unohana you are a true genius, is there anyway at all you could teach me that?"
"It's something one must learn on their own I'm afraid" Retsu stated calmly with a small grin "By the way may I ask what you were about to do to them fifth seat Dark-Heart?"
"I was just going to splice a limb or two across dimensions, but I'll admit what you did was funnier" Alexander stated.
"What do you mean?" Retsu asked curiously.
"Oh I'll show you" Alexander stated as he turned his gaze to squad eleven members running down the hall and holding out his left arm, suddenly what appeared to be black threads shot out from his hand grabbed one of the fleeing shinigami by the torso before yanking him towards the fifth seat.
"What the hell?!" the man shouted as he turned to see himself facing what appeared to be a demon in shinigami robes. The man immediately punched out with his left fist, Alexander intercepted the punch with his right hand which was giving off a black glow. What happened next put everyone except Alexander and Retsu into a state of shock, instead of just stopping when it made contact with Alexander's palm the fist seemed to disappear into it.
"Got you" Alexander stated before he swiped his hand to the side.
Everyone looked at the member of squad eleven to see that his left arm from halfway between the elbow and wrist had vanished and at the end of what was left of his arm there was no blood shooting out, in fact you couldn't see any muscles or bones, instead what you saw was just deep black. The man tried to pull his arm back in terror but he couldn't move it from its location he then tried to move his left fingers, what surprised him was that he felt a hand grip his left shoulder, he turned his head to see what appeared to be the missing portion of his arm hanging in mid air. The man fainted in disbelief.
"That's what I mean by splicing a limb across dimensions" Alexander stated calmly as he walked over to the unconscious shinigami and placed his right palm up to the end of the man's missing arm, suddenly his palm glowed and Alexander pulled the rest of his arm out before dropping it next to its comatose owner.
"That's quite a technique" Retsu stated showing no signs of terror or shock.
"It's a riot at parties" Alexander assured her before turning his attention to the entire room "by the way if any of you tell that freak Kurotsuchi about that I swear I'll hunt you down."
Almost immediately the room broke into laughter as Alexander's marks began to disappear and his teeth and nails returned to normal. Isane finally got a hold of herself and went up to him.
"Fifth seat Dark-Heart, your subordinate Toushirou Hitsugaya has just regained consciousness" Isane informed him as a couple of medics placed the unconscious shinigami in a chair.
"That's wonderful" Alexander stated happily "Sorry if I was any trouble Captain Unohana, Lieutenant Koutestu" he saluted before walking off.
"By the way how is your daughter doing?" Retsu asked.
"She was named the sixth seat of Captain Ukitake's squad thirteen a couple days ago and she's thrilled" Alexander answered "by the way, no hard feelings about her transferring to another squad right?"
"None at all, she was a great asset and I hope she does well" Retsu answered "please give her my congratulations."
"Yes ma'am" Alexander stated before he walked off.
"An interesting man, I must admit" Retsu stated as she turned to head for her office.
"He's certainly different, there's no doubt about it" Isane admitted as she followed her captain.
Alexander made his way to Toushirou's door when he noticed his fellow visitor was still in her seat looking at him nervously.
"Did you already see him?" Alexander asked kindly.
"No, I don't want to hold up an officer" Momo stated quickly.
Alexander chuckled before saying "trust me, it's no problem, I'm sure he'd rather talk to you first anyway."
"Thank you" Momo bowed politely before opening the door.
"Momo what the hell are you doing here?" Toushirou asked.
"I'm here to visit you little shirou, what else would I be here for?" Momo asked causing Alexander to hold back a small laugh as Toushirou's face instantly took up an annoyed expression.
"I thought you weren't going to call me little shirou after I entered the academy!!!" Toushirou stated loudly as a vein popped on his forehead. Suddenly he felt another surge of pain from his shoulder "damn it" he swore as he fell back on the bed.
"Stop making me worry about you and I'll consider it" Momo replied "and you shouldn't move around too much, your injured after all."
"Shut up" Toushirou sighed "I'm not in the mood for this."
"Little Shirou" Momo sighed "what happened to you?"
"It's my fault" Alexander cut in causing the young woman to look at him "a hallow beyond the scope of the mission showed up I wasn't able to get to him in time, I'm sorry."
"Oh" Momo said weakly not knowing what to think of the man before turning to her childhood friend "but still please promise me you'll be careful Toushirou."
Toushirou had to hide a smile after hearing her call him by name before saying "okay Momo, I promise I'll be careful."
"You better keep your word" Momo stated.
Their conversation continued for over half an hour. They talked about their experiences during their academy years. Momo talked about how happy she was to be in Aizen's squad five, Toushirou was often annoyed by it all. Toushirou told her how a strange woman had convinced him to become a shinigami (he left out certain details about how he first met said woman).
"Well I better get going, I want to make sure I don't over sleep and miss out on helping captain Aizen" Momo yawned as she stood and stretched her arms out "anyway you take care of yourself Toushirou."
"Fine, see you later you bed wetter" Toushirou teased.
"You need to grow up Toushirou" Momo stated as she headed towards the door and said "I'm sorry for keeping fifth seat Dark-Heart."
"Didn't I say not to mention it?" Alexander asked "anyway you take care, Miss Hinamori" she then left the door to head back to the squad five barracks.
"What's so great about this captain Aizen anyway?" Toushirou asked "I mean ever since she caught a glance of the man five years ago it's been captain Aizen this and captain Aizen that."
"Well, captain Aizen has a reputation for being one of the kindest and most good natured captains in the thirteen court guard squads" Alexander explained "personally I get the feeling that there's something wrong about him every time I'm around him, but I might just be paranoid."
"Anyway, I get the feeling your not just here to make sure I'm still breathing" Toushirou stated as he made eye contact with his superior.
"You're a sharp young man" Alexander replied as the black marks appeared on his body and his eyes turned blood red and their irises changed to a slit state "tell me Toushirou have you heard what these eyes can do?"
"I head they can see a lot of things including seeing an opponent's flow of spirit energy, where they focus said spirit energy, and simple thought processes" Toushirou answered.
"Among other things" Alexander nodded "before I start asking questions tell me what might be useful about seeing simple thought processes besides predicting an opponent's move?"
Toushirou was silent for several seconds before answering "I'm guessing that you're pretty good at telling when someone's lying."
"That's correct" Alexander replied "now please telling me why you were trying to die yesterday?"
"Because I wanted to die" Toushirou answered bluntly.
"You don't say?" Alexander stated "now tell me why you wanted to die."
"I don't feel like telling you" Toushirou answered "and I'm not legally obligated to tell you anything, it's a personal matter."
"True" Alexander stated as he rubbed his chin before saying "but saying that to me when these marks have appeared is dangerous, kind of like asking the Central Forty Six if they understand a little something called shame."
"Damn the Central Forty Six!!! Toushirou swore in his mind.
"So the Central Forty Six is behind it, eh?" Alexander asked.
"Damn you" Toushirou stated.
"What did they do to you?" Alexander asked.
Toushirou sighed before saying "they made me do something…something I can't forgive them, or myself for."
"So you want to die because they forced you to do something bad?" Alexander asked, he took Toushirou's silence as a yes before saying "but you felt conflicted once the hollows attacked you."
"Yeah and then Hyourinmaru started messing with my head" Toushirou answered "he told me that my instincts and pride wouldn't just let me commit suicide."
"So what are you going to do now?" Alexander asked.
"Hell if I know, I don't want to just serve the people who made me do it, but I can't bring myself to just let hollows devour me" Toushirou answered.
"I see" Alexander replied the marks disappeared and his eyes went back to normal "well my advice is to meet captain Tousen at the training grounds tomorrow, he could help you find an answer; but Toushirou don't even think about throwing your life away, I don't know if that young girl could handle it."
After Alexander left Toushirou laid back on the bed and thought "What the hell do I have to lose?"
The next morning Toushirou was released from the hospital, he couldn't believe how well his injury had been treated, when he woke up it had completely healed and hadn't even left a scar. After thanking the medics who operated on him he put on his shinigami robes and picked up Hyourinmaru. When he finally returned to the squad nine training grounds he saw his fellow squad members practicing kidou and swordsmanship, he noticed a small ring of people including Alexander talking to a man with dark skin who was wearing a whit haori with the kanji for nine on the back, a strange white visor over his eyes and a strange orange thing around his neck.
"So that's captain Tousen, eh?" Toushirou thought to himself as he made his way towards him and the other officers "so the stories are true one of the captains really is blind."
"Is this the boy you were telling me about fifth seat Dark-Heart?" Kaname asked.
Alexander looked to his side and finally noticed the young prodigy before saying "that's him sir, I must admit your ability to detect spiritual pressures never ceases to amaze me."
"Very well, can I leave the rest of the exercises up to you?" Kaname asked.
"Yes sir" Alexander and two other shinigami responded with a salute, Toushirou couldn't help but notice that none of them was wearing a lieutenant's badge.
"I'm pleased to meet you Toushirou Hitsugaya, my name is Kaname Tousen, I'm the captain of squad nine" Kaname introduced himself as he held out his right hand "it's nice to meet the prodigy that I've heard so much about."
"Thank you sir" Toushirou replied as he shook the captain's hand "may I ask why the lieutenant isn't here?"
"I'm afraid he didn't make it" Kaname said solemnly "anyway I'm told that you've already mastered the shunpo."
"Yes sir" Toushirou answered.
"Then follow me" Kaname instructed as he disappeared in an instant.
"I hope this is worth the trouble" Toushirou sighed as he used shunpo to follow his captain, when he caught up he found himself in what appeared to be a rundown neighborhood "what the hell is this?" Toushirou asked as he looked around "is this really part of the seireitei?"
"It is I'm afraid" Kaname stated "this used to be one of the most densely populated areas in the city, about fifty years ago a Vasto Lorde attacked this portion of the seireitei and by the time we finally managed to destroy it most of the shinigami in the vicinity had been slaughtered; in all honesty the city still hasn't recovered from the sheer lose of life."
"Unbelievable" Toushirou stated in disbelief.
"It was a truly horrible situation" Kaname stated solemnly "since then many shinigami have used the ruins here to train themselves to become stronger."
"Why here, I mean it sounds a little disrespectful to those who died here?" Toushirou asked.
"Actually many have chosen to train here to ensure that they don't forget the lesson of that night" Kaname explained.
"Lesson?" Toushirou asked.
"That we are constantly in the midst of a dangerous struggle with hollows" Kaname answered "people train here so they may come to understand the sheer destructive power that some of the most powerful creatures in all existence wield so they can grow stronger and be better prepared to face such a foe in the hopes that something like this never happens again."
"So by training to be stronger here, shinigami honor the memory of the one's who died here that night?" Toushirou asked.
"That's correct, it's also where many shinigami have claimed to find the cause they've chosen to champion, including myself" Kaname explained as he drew his Zanpakutou "now draw your sword Toushirou."
Toushirou looked at his captain in suspicion as he drew his blade "what are you going to do?"
"Test you, I'm sorry" Kaname answered before he suddenly vanished.
Toushirou's eyes shot open as he saw his captain appear to his left side and saw his sword coming right for him. Toushirou barely managed to deflect the blade to the side with his own, immediately afterwards Kaname disappeared with another shunpo, this time appearing right in front of him midway through a vertical slash. Again Toushirou just barely managed to avoid a killing blow by catching the blade with the guard on his own sword.
"Not good enough I'm afraid" Kaname stated quietly as he pushed on his own sword throwing Toushirou back nearly twenty yards "you won't find peace if your spiritual pressure remains in this constant state of chaos."
"My spiritual pressure is in chaos?" Toushirou asked.
"That's right" Kaname answered "right now your soul is in such a state of confusion that your spiritual pressure has been thrown out of order."
"Meaning?" Toushirou asked.
"That your combat abilities have been suffered significantly ever since whatever happened between you and the Central Forty Six" Kaname answered.
"My combat abilities have decreased, how would you know this is the first time we've met?" Toushirou asked as he stood back up.
"That's where fifth seat Dark-Heart's eyes come in" Kaname answered "he was watching you during your fight with that last hollow in Peru, he assured me that you should have been able to crush that hollow on your own without getting scratched, in other words it shouldn't have been necessary for him to step in."
"Tell me something" Toushirou stated "why do you two care so much?"
Kaname was silent for several seconds before answering "because we believe you could be a valuable ally in our quest."
"Quest, what the hell are you talking about?" Toushirou asked.
"The quest for justice" Kaname answered causing Toushirou to fall silent "but first you have to find your own resolve, otherwise you'll only be a hindrance, so choose Toushirou."
Toushirou was silent for several seconds thinking "a quest for justice huh, tch how corny" Toushirou thought back to his friend Kusaka "he did say that he was going to fight for soul society's sake not for the central forty six, so why not?"
Kaname could sense Toushirou's spiritual pressure beginning stabilize "impressive, he still hasn't perfected his control, but his spiritual pressure is incredibly ferocious; as expected Dark-Heart was correct."
"If I can't just drop dead I might as well make my existence useful" Toushirou thought to himself as his eyes glowed before saying "reign over the frosted frozen heavens, Hyourinmaru!"
A large dragon of water and ice erupted from Toushirou's blade and rushed towards his captain. Kaname didn't show any signs of fear as he leapt into the air and the dragon followed him before he waved his sword in a circular motion and cried "Nishiki Suzumushi" (Crimson Locust), suddenly several blades materialized as he carried out the motion until they formed a perfect circle, Kaname then swung his blade horizontally launching the blades towards the dragon. Toushirou watched in shock and awe as the blades blew threw his dragon like it was nothing before they landed only a couple inches away from his feet and knocked him to the ground, when he regained his vision he saw Kaname standing over him with the point of his blade to his neck.
"Very Impressive" Kaname stated as he sheathed his sword "I had to use more power than I had expected", he then helped Toushirou up from the ground, "so how are you feeling?"
"These are just scratches" Toushirou stated.
"Psychologically I mean" Kaname replied.
"Well, I still can't forgive myself or the Central Forty Six for what happened" Toushirou answered before he gripped his fist and looked up to his captain "so I've decided; while I'm not sure how I'll do it, I'm going to do everything I can to change how the thirteen court guard squads and the soul society as a whole operate, that's the only way I feel that I can absolve myself."
"I see" Kaname answered "then I recommend that you become stronger Toushirou; if you do that you'll know what to do."
"That's fine with me" Toushirou replied "I don't care if I end up in the very oblivion that the White Poppy of our squad symbolizes, I'll do whatever it takes."
"A good answer" Kaname stated "Fifth seat Dark-Heart is leading a team to exterminate hollows in the world of the living tomorrow, I'm adding you to his team."
"Like the mission yesterday?" Toushirou asked.
"No, this mission is going to take place in a major city, there will be a lot more hollows and they'll be stronger as well" Kaname answered.
"I see" Toushirou replied.
"Until then we should inform him of the latest change in plans" Kaname stated as he disappeared in a flash and Toushirou followed him.
When they got back to the grounds they saw the shinigami were wrapping up their training and heading out to get something to eat. They found Alexander having a conversation with a young female shinigami who appeared to be in her mid teens; she was about a foot shorter than Alexander, with light brown skin, black shoulder length hair, and golden eyes. She turned her gaze from Alexander to Toushirou and Kaname.
"Hey dad, I think your captain wants to talk to you" the woman said slightly annoyed.
Alexander turned to see Kaname and Toushirou before saying "thank you Elaina, can I help you captain?"
"I just came to inform you of a small change in plans for your mission tomorrow" Kaname stated calmly.
"You mean the team of fifty five shinigami I'm leading to Washington D.C. tomorrow, right?" Alexander asked.
"It's going to be fifty six; actually" Kaname answered "I'm sure you can guess who the latest addition is."
Alexander looked at Toushirou and said "let's see, I'm guessing Toushirou's going to join us for what will likely be a few days of extreme danger and madness."
"That's right" Kaname replied "I'm counting on you Alexander."
"You can count on me captain" Alexander saluted as Kaname disappeared with a shunpo.
"This is the child prodigy, everyone's been talking about?" Elaina asked "he really is just a little kid" this comment put Toushirou in a slight state of shock as she placed her hand on top of his head and smiled "he is kind of cute though" she jested.
"Kid?!" Toushirou hissed "who the hell do you think you are?"
"It would seem he doesn't like to be teased" Elaina thought to herself "my apologies cutie, my name is Elaina Dark-Heart; I'm the new sixth seat of squad thirteen…" she then moved her head next to Toushirou's before whispering "…and I'm also the adopted daughter of your commanding officer, so you better sweeten up."
"She's messing with you Toushirou, she's a real joker" Alexander stated before adding "just so you know that's probably my fault."
"Dad" Elaina whined "you never let me have fun with the new recruits."
"You're an officer now" Alexander stated with a gentle smile "so you'll have plenty of subordinates to mess around with to your heart's content."
"I guess your right" Elaina shrugged "I'll just have to be careful, I don't want to cause trouble for lieutenant Shiba or captain Ukitake."
"I'm sure you'll do fine" Alexander assured her "anyway meet me and the rest of the team at the senkaimon by ten a.m. tomorrow morning and make sure you're ready, these hollows will be a lot tougher than the ones from yesterday and they'll be larger in numbers; there are even some theories that we might see a Menos Grande or two."
"Why is there such fear on this mission?" Toushirou asked.
Alexander sighed lightly before asking "do you keep up with events in the world of the living?"
"No, why?" Toushirou asked.
"Well right now there's a civil rights movement going on in the United States and tomorrow there's going to be a march on their capital led by a very inspiring preacher tomorrow" Alexander explained "basically the city is going to be full to the bursting point with people experiencing intense emotions; in a nutshell it's going to be a buffet as far as the hollows are concerned."
"Sounds messy" Toushirou stated.
"It probably will be" Elaina assured him "and you better come back" she half threatened as she turned to her father.
"Relax" Alexander replied as he placed his hands on his daughter's shoulders "I promised you I'd make it back and give you some pointers on Bankai training didn't I?"
"Yeah, you did" Elaina answered with a smile "just be careful."
"I will, do you have any other questions Toushirou?" Alexander asked before Toushirou shook his head and left for his quarters.
"Bankai pointers, I might have to ask him about that when I get the chance" Toushirou thought to himself.
"Well with that out of the way I believe there's a celebration that we need to get to" Alexander stated happily.
"And all on your dime" Elaina added happily.
"Gee thanks for reminding me of that detail" Alexander sighed as they went out to meet some of Elaina's friends and squad mates.
Kaname Tousen arrived in his office to quickly discover that he had guests, namely the captains of squads three and five.
"So what ya think Kaname?" Gin Ichimaru asked.
"They're all strong and I believe they'll only grow stronger" Kaname stated.
"So you feel they have potential, how much Kaname?" Sousuke Aizen asked.
"I believe if given enough time we can expect all three to achieve Bankai" Kaname answered.
"I see so ya sent two of them to this lil' gathrin in the world of the living to test the boy and the warlock, after all the hollows will be attackin without mercy" Gin stated "ya trying to make a point."
"They can handle it" Kaname responded "anyway what about this new fifth seat of squad six; I believe her name was Youmei Rammyaku (Youmei: order, Rammyaku: chaos)?"
"Yes, I'm afraid she's a little too unstable for our plans" Aizen answered "so we'll be looking into this new child prodigy and the Dark-Hearts."
"I see" Kaname answered.
"We'll be in touch Kaname" Aizen assured him as he left.
"Se ya later" Gin stated before following Aizen out the door.
The next morning Toushirou met Alexander and the other fifty five shinigami just outside the senkaimon. Most of them seemed to be shaking uncontrollably and their hands seemed to move towards the grip of their Zanpakutou every couple of minutes. After a few minutes a swarm of Hell Butterflies flew up to the many nervous shinigami.
"Alright everyone please listen up" Alexander commanded with authority "the gate is about to open; when we get to Washington it's likely we'll be swarmed within an hour, these hollows will likely be stronger than what many of you are used to dealing with so stay together, if there are any Menos you're to leave them to me, do you all understand?"
"Yes, Sir" the shinigami shouted.
"Now some good news" Alexander stated "my request for support from squad four was approved and Captain Unohana is sending a dozen medics in after us, but it would still be a good idea for you all to unsheathe your Zanpakutou as soon as you exit the gate."
"Understood sir" the shinigami shouted again.
"Good now let's go, the shinigami stationed there should be happy to see us" Alexander commanded as the senkaimon opened and he ran in.
Toushirou immediately used shunpo to follow Alexander through the gate. He eventually caught up with him in the Dagai while the other shinigami followed closely behind.
"Can I help you?" Alexander asked.
"I was wondering…you were saying yesterday that you were going to give your daughter some pointers on Bankai training and I wanted to know if you'd teach me?" Toushirou asked.
Alexander sighed heavily before saying "I don't know if you're ready for it, Bankai training is difficult not to mention dangerous, it really shouldn't even be attempted by anyone who doesn't have a lieutenant class spiritual pressure."
"Damn it" Toushirou swore to himself.
"Tell you what though" Alexander stated bringing Toushirou back to reality "if we have time to spar and you can force me to use my shikai I'll teach you."
"Tch fine" Toushirou replied see that was far as he was going to get as they saw the exit come into sight.
Author's notes: That's chapter two, just wanted to explain that my understanding of the bleach timeline is that it takes place in modern times and to my knowledge Rukia, Renji, and Toushirou all became shinigami about forty years before the main story begins; in other words I estimated their entry into the squads took take place sometime in the 1960's (in this story I'm beginning in the year of 1963). And as you may have guessed the next mission is taking place during Dr. Martin Luther King's historic march on Washington in 1963, anyway please leave a review and stay tuned for my third chapter.
Character Profile: Elaina Dark-Heart
Eyes: Golden
Hair: Black
Squad (current): 13th
Rank (current): 6th seat
Personal information: Elaina was adopted by Alexander Dark-Heart when her biological parents were killed in Rukongai when she was just a newborn; as such she doesn't posses the abilities of the Warlock clan like Alexander. Before she was made the sixth seat of squad thirteen she was a medic under Retsu Unohana, which explains why her dad was able to get away with splicing a man's arm across dimensions in her hospital. Unfortunately many nobles and members of the Central Forty Six consider her to be "tainted" since she was raised by a Warlock. On a personality front she's somewhere in between Toushirou's seriousness and Rangiku's playfulness; simply put she completes her duties and then she screws around with her friends and her father. All in all she comes off as a pleasant woman who understands the importance of her duties but knows how to have some fun when there's time.
