Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach
Ice quickly walked in between the crowds of demons. Ice had successfully changed his looks so he looked just like them, but he hoped he did not run into Captain Erai.
Ice could handle the other captains, but Captain Erai was a powerful one defeating him would be a hard job even for Ice.
Ice noticed the queen's castle and quickly started walking towards it. He made himself look like a demon servant boy so the guards would let him in the castle.
It worked they barely even looked at him.
The castle was dark and depressing the floors, celling, and walls were made out of the same grey rock material.
Ice saw Lieutenant Tazuki walking his way.
He hid in a dark corner. Ice did not think that Tazuki could see past his disguise from what he had heard that was one of her weaknesses, but he never fought the monster myself so he was going to be cautious.
"What the hell is this?" Tazuki screamed waving a horrible looking baby outfit in front of a servant girl's face.
"The queen said she wanted the baby to have a pink and black outfit not brown and black! How could you even give me this ridiculous thing?"
Tazuki threw the outfit at the servant; who clumsily caught the outfit.
"Fix it!"
she yelled. Then turned on her heel and walked away. The servant girl quickly started walking away Ice followed her.
The servant opened a big wooden door and walked in the room. Ice waited patiently for her to return and when she came out he put his hands on her temples causing the servant to go into a deep sleep.
Ice picked up the baby's outfit and changed his appearance to resemble the servant girls. Ice walked down the hallway
'this place sure isconfusing' he thought to himself;
'All the hallways and doors look the same'.
Ice walked down the hallways for about five minutes or so than all of a sudden "Mph!" he said falling on the ground;
"Hey, watch it servant!" a guard yelled.
Ice looked up and mumbled a sorry and tried to run past the guard. But the guard grabbed his arm its long nails cutting in Ice skin.
"What are you doing in this part of the castle?" he asked.
"I'm trying to find Lieutenant Tazuki so I can give her Princess Nonalayhime's outfit." Ice answered.
"Well, Lieutenant Tazuki is in the Princess's chamber I'll show you the way."
The guard said leading Ice down the hallway.
Ten minutes later Ice and the guard were standing in front of a huge dark wooden door.
The guard knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
hissed Tazuki. "Guard Xian of the fifth division," yelled the guard. Tazuki said that they could come in.
They walked in the room and Ice noticed that Tazuki was sitting in a rocking chair trying to make baby Mihime stop crying.
Ice knew why the poor baby was crying. She was probably scared by Tazuki; he would be too if a human-sized reptile looking demon with green eyes and long black hair was holding him.
"The queen wants me to put her to sleep, but it's quite difficult," Tazuki explained.
"I understand, Lieutenant I shall leave now," Guard Xian said bowing and walking out the room closing the door.
Just than Ice had an idea,
"Lieutenant Tazuki," he said.
"If you wish I can put the child to sleep, I'm really good with children,"
Lieutenant Tazuki looked at Ice than looked at the hollering baby in her arms whose face was turning red from crying so much.
"Just put the dress on the dresser over there and then I'll hand her to you,"
she said. Ice put the dress down and Tazuki quickly handed him the baby. Mihime instantly stopped crying and started to snuggle against Ice's chest.
"Well, she seems to like you in that case you can nurse her for the afternoon while I do other things," Tazuki said starting to leave the room.
After she opened the door she stopped and looked at Ice
"Remember the queen is coming to breast feed her in 3 hours or so. So, make sure she's in a good mood the queen hates it when she cries,"
after saying that Tazuki left the room softly shutting the door behind her.'Well that was easy' Ice thought.
He quickly started preparing the baby to travel.
Ice opened the window they were at least thirteen stories high. Ice tied Mihime to his back he was glad that the baby had already fallen asleep.
Ice jumped out the window onto the roof. He cautiously walked on the roof making sure no one saw him Ice hid behind a small tower to look at the ground. There were hoards of demon's everywhere just simply walking outside in this servant girl form with a baby on his back was not going to work.
The only thing he could do now was become invisible there were just too many demons to just be able to change his appearance one of them may be able to look through his disguise, but there is a problem with that, simply turning himself invisible would be easy, but it would take a great amount of spiritual pressure to turn him and Mihime invisible.
Ice needed as much spiritual energy as possible just in case he ran into Erai. Ice tried to think of another plan to get out without turning invisible, but he could not come up with a new plan that would work.
Ice sighed
he just had to pray that he would not run into that monster. He made himself and Mihime invisible he jumped off the roof. Closing his eyes as he flew down and then landed on his feet,
"I cannot fail this mission."
Ice said as he ran
"I will sacrifice my life before I let Mihime stay here and become what her mother is!"
The demon queen's eyes flew open and she shot up in a sitting position on her bed.
'That's impossible' the queen thought to herself.
She got out of her bed and opened her window trying to sense her daughter's spiritual pressure.
The demon queen's eyes started to turn red and her cheeks flushed with anger and then she lifted her head up and screamed
"Soul King!"
As the portal closed Ice heard the queen's angry scream.
Ice chuckled and immediately started running.
Trying to get to the land of the Soul King as quickly as possible;
'I have to bring Mihime to her father.'
Ice thought in his head over and over again.
'I cannot let her fall into her mother's hands again!'
The queen walked away from the window and quickly put her robe on she opened the door to her room and walked out.
"My queen, what's wrong?"
Lieutenant Tazuki said running after her.
"The Soul King has taken my child out of this dimension!" the queen yelled. Causing the whole castle to shake,
"Oh,"
Tazuki said. The queen opened the door to Mihime's chambers and walked towards the crib.
"Shall I summon him?" Tazuki asked.
"Yes," said the queen glaring at the empty crib.
She looked up out the window and thought to herself
'I will not let you take away my child Soul King,'
The queen started to rub her hand inside Mihime's empty crib she closed her eyes trying to remember Mihime's presence she quickly opened her eyes and she thought;
'that child is mine and I shall never let her become what you are Soul King!'
Ice could feel the evil presence.
Everything seemed to freeze in place.
'She has summoned Erai'
he thought. Ice quickly weaved a portal to the world of the living and walked through it. He knew that it took demons, especially evil ones like him a long time to enter the world of the living. Ice quickly walked down the empty street trying to figure out what to do. He felt Mihime stir against his back.
'She is about to be hungry in a little while' he thought
'I must get her to the Soul King's lands immediately!'
"It has been a while hasn't it Maou,"
said the tall muscular man with a face of a bulls and with eyes so wicked and vile that any normal person would shiver underneath their gaze. The demon's spiritual pressures seemed to fill the whole dimension.
"Yes, Lord Erai I thought we would be stuck in the devil's realm forever,"
Maou said. Lord Erai sniffed the air and growled.
"That Soul King's servant has gone to the world of the living."
"Damn, it would take you hours to make a portal there,"
cursed Maou. Lord Erai laughed, "I must admit the Soul King sent a very clever servant being able to come in the demon queen's dimension, infiltrate her castle steal her baby and leave alive…" Erai shook his head.
"What a clever man….. Or maybe it's just….. Luck," he said.
For a while the great demon and his subordinate just stood there silently.
"Maou….. I have an idea," Lord Erai whispered.
'Whether it's because the servant is very clever or lucky' Erai thought
'he is destined to fail today.'
Ice felt a portal opening.
'He's coming!'
he hid his spiritual pressure and Mihime's. Ice waited for the evil presence to fully emerge from the portal.
He had a sickening feeling in his heart all of a sudden
'what is this spiritual pressure I've never felt anything like it, is it possible? No! That's impossible!'
He thought.When the figure made it out of the portal he quickly started making a portal to the Land of the Soul King Ice stepped through the portal and found himself looking into the sickest and evilest eyes he had ever seen.
The little boy walked past the front door playing with his yoyo, he stopped and turned back.
Was it the boy's imagination or did he hear crying.
The boy unlocked the door and opened it.
He saw a baby in a basket crying.
"Mom!" he yelled.
"Dad!"
the boy's parents quickly came after he called.
"Look,"
said the boy pointing at the baby. "Oh my," said the mother. Picking up the baby from the basket, she looked around to see if anyone was around. "Looks, like someone left the child on our doorstep," said the boy's father.
The mother tried to comfort the baby, but the girl would not stop crying. "Oh, Aki the baby is hungry!"
said the mom referring to her husband and quickly going into the house and opening the refrigerator. She pulled a carton of milk out.
"Aki do you think you could find and wash one of one of Hideo's old baby bottles and Hideo give me a boiler please," ordered the mom.
Twenty minutes later the baby was fed and was now sleeping peacefully on the mother's chest.
"Well, Asami I just called the police and no one has reported a baby missing," Aki said sitting next to his wife and the child.
"Do you think someone really abandoned her on our doorstep?" Aki sadly sighed at his wife question and said
"Yes, I do Asami."
The women shook her head "Maybe they couldn't take care of her," the mother assumes softly stroking the baby's fine hair.
Aki nodded in agreement and said
"Maybe, but the question is Asami what do we do with her?"
"You fell for my trap maybe you really are just lucky after all?" laughed the evil demon lord.
"Lord Erai," Ice sneered.
"So, the rumors are true the demon queen really did save you from burning in the devil's realm forever."
Lord Erai laughed at Ice's comment and then answered back "Yes, I'm back and ten times more powerful than before, you should be honored Soul King's servant you are the first one who will witness the new power I have."
"The name's Ice, and since you have escaped from eternal damnation it is only natural for me to return you,"
Ice said reaching for his Zanpukuto from his scabbard revealing it's long and thin white blade. "I am Ice the Guardian Angel of the Soul Dimensions and I cannot let you go any farther."
Ice said getting in a fighting position his sword in front of him ready. Lord Erai sighed and said
"I really hoped you would not put up a fight, but it looks like you're going to make me draw my sword."
Erai grabbed the hilt of his sword and said "I am Erai Lord of Torture and you will die by my sword." He quickly pulled the sword out of its scabbard revealing its huge black blade with evil spiritual energy coating it.
He bared his teeth and started charging towards Ice.
The Soul King was sitting on his throne when he noticed a familiar Spiritual pressure.
"Lord Erai," he said to himself.
"He has escaped from hell."
Said the Soul King standing up from his throne, 'I can feel that Erai has gotten more powerful' thought the king.
He closed his eyes and said "But Ice can defeat him,"
the King said trying to convince himself that his servant would live, but deep down he knew that Ice was not powerful enough to beat Erai.
Erai raised his sword and swung down at Ice who quickly flashed step out the way. He came up behind Erai trying to cut his side but Erai stopped his sword with his own. Ice felt his Zanpukuto cry out in torture he quickly withdrew his sword and backed away.
"You do not know, Ice?" chucked Erai.
"That anything my sword touches feels like it is being tortured."
Ice glared at the demon for a moment than said
"Did you forget me that easily Erai? You must remember that you and I have met before?"
A look of confusion crossed Erai face trying to figure out what this man was talking about.
A then, he remembered.
(60,000 years ago)
Lieutenant Hajime Hitsugaya of the 11th division hurriedly walked down the streets of the Seireitei trying to get the important documents he was carrying to his Captain as soon as possible.
It was two thousand years ago when the Soul King has made the Soul Society his captain was one of the first captains ever and handpicked by the Soul King himself. Captain Ren Sato, which was his captain name;
he was one of the most feared captains out of them all, and his division was the strongest. Hajime was proud to be his Lieutenant. Hajime finally reached the office and saw his Captain sitting at his desk.
His captain looked up from the documents he was writing and said "It took you long enough."
Hajime bowed his head at his captain and said
"I'm sorry Taichou,"
The captain took the documents and glanced over them. "I see that the hollows are getting worse in the world of the living," he said.
"Yes, Taichou," Hajime agreed.
"Our Shinigami's are having a hard time killing all of them they're not very strong hollows, but there are so many of them."
"They seem to be searching for something," The captain concluded.
"But what?" asked Hajime.
The captain stared looking over the papers studying them thoroughly. "Hitsugaya, do you know what an Angelus Basium is?" the captain asked.
"Yes, that is Latin for Angel's Kiss- but no why would that show up in those documents?"
The Captain ran his hand through his hair and said "Well, many of our squad members have reported the hollows repeatly saying this phrase does it mean something Hitsugaya?"
The lieutenant did not answer his captain's question. He seemed to be lost in deep thought.
"Hitsugaya,"
the captain said again getting the attention of this subordinate. Hajime sighed and said
"I'm sure you're aware that there are angels and demons captain."
The captain nodded and said. "Yes, I am aware such beings exist."
"Hollows are powerful and they know it, but even when they are in there must powerful form Vasto Lorde their power is not even close to being equal to demons. Just like us soul reaper's powers will never be equal with an angel."
"So what are you getting at Hitsugaya,"
asked the captain impatiently. Hajime looked down at his feet and whispered.
"It is said that if you get kissed by an angel or… fallen angel that you can become one of them."
"So, these hollows want to become demons eh; has that ever been done?"
"No Taichou and it never will for the Angel's Kiss is just a rumor."
"Oh," Lord Erai said smiling.
"I hardly remember you Hajime Hitsugaya you use to have longer hair.
"Ice ran his hand threw his hair and said "Yes, I have cut my hair, but I think you're the one who has changed the most Ex-captain Ren Sato; you use to be a respectable human-looking captain not some kind of half-bull half-human looking demon!"
Erai shook his head and said. "You were the one who told me about the Angel's Kiss, how could I forget? After the conversation we had I was obsessed with the Angel's Kiss."
"But back then you wanted to use the Angel's Kiss to become an angel not a demon I always wanted to know what made you change your mind?" Ice asked.
"I did not like the way of the Angel so I switched sides,"
Erai said simply.
Ice and tightly clenched his sword and yelled "You were a highly-respected captain one specifically chosen by the Soul King himself how could you disgrace your district like that? How could you disgrace the Soul Society like that... How could you disgrace me like that? I was your lieutenant I looked up to you I wanted to become just like you but then years later after you leave I find out that you've became a demon! Why?"
Erai seemed undisturbed by Ice's outburst. "That is all in the past right now I am Lord Erai demon of torture and you are Hajime Hitsugaya or better known as "Ice" now so let's stop fighting over the past and fight over the present!"
Erai said than started charging at Ice again. Ice sent ice shards towards Erai who easily dodged them.
"You cannot defeat me Ice!"
Erai yelled jumping up and bringing his sword down on Ice head who blocked the attack with his own sword and pushed Erai back. Erai easily landed on the ground on his feet and was charging at Ice again
"You are still a soul reaper and I am a demon!"
He said swigging his sword at Ice again who blocked the attack with his own sword. Ice frowned as his sword cried out in pain when it touched Erai's.
Their swords were locked together now on each side of the others.
They were trying to push against each other to gain the advantage. Erai laughed like a maniac than said
"You know I'm just playing with you I can kill you with one strike of my bankai and you will not even see it coming!"
"Well,"
Ice said trying his best to push against Erai's sword "I'll just have to defeat you before that happens!"
Ice finally managed to push Erai backwards.
The demon flew through the air and landed on his back. Erai got up laughing "You fool," he said.
"You don't get it do you? There is no possible way you can defeat me. So, just give up and I might let you die without torturing you."
Ice ignored what Erai said and charged at him.
"Bankai!" he yelled.
A white light shone all of a sudden Ice was ten times bigger than before his eye's where as white as snow and his hair was long and waved freely with the wind.
"I am Hajime Hitsugaya the creator of the Ice Zanpukuto I am not to be underestimated!" he yelled.
"Hah! That power does not scare me," yelled Erai.
Ice started to lift up his Zanpukuto and he said
"I may not be able to kill you, but it is my duty to protect the dimensions and I simply cannot let a demon like you walk around freely."
Erai started laughing than said
"And what are you going to do to stop me?"
Maou noticed the white light shone and wondered why his captain had not defeated the servant yet.
But that wasn't Maou's problem his job was to find the Princess but as he looked through the dimensions he couldn't find her or even sense her spiritual pressure.
For a while he thought that the princess was dead,
but no,
he would have surely noticed. The princess was alive, but where was she. Maou walked towards the ongoing battle between his master and the servant.
'Maybe he put the baby closer to him' he thought.
He was able to see the fight clearly now and noticed that his master was fighting Hajime Hitsugaya and very powerful fighter indeed, but he didn't stand a chance against his master.
Maou noticed Hitsugaya lip slightly moving as he charged towards Erai.
If Maou had a heart it would have stopped in that moment
'he's chanting a….."
Maou thought all of a sudden he tried to run towards his master warning him of what was about to come.
But it was too late the spell had already been set.
"Let's end this conflict where we started it Erai,"
Hitsugaya yelled the portal to the devil's realm opening
"together!"
he grabbed a surprised Erai and sent them flying towards the portal trapping them both in the devil's realm forever.
"Aki…. I can't do it,"
cried Asami stopping right in front of the foster care center. Aki looked at his wife confused. "Do what?" he asked. "I can't put her in foster care…. I've grown too fond of her haven't you?" Asami asked.
Aki looked at the pretty baby who was sleeping in his wife's arms a small smile on her lips.
"Yes, I have but what are we going to name her." Aki asked him and his wife turning away from the foster home and walking back home.
"Mihime," Asami said. "Mihime Nonalayhime."
"Mihime Nonalayhime shouldn't the baby have our last name?" Aki asked.
Asami shook her head and said "No, this is the baby's name it just feels…. Right to me for some reason,"
Aki knew better than to argue with his wife over this subject so he said. "Mihime Nonalayhime it is."
The Soul King closed his eye's trying to sense his daughter's spiritual pressure, but he couldn't be he knew she was not dead.
For he would have felt something;
the Soul King knew that even though Ice died his daughter was safe somewhere and had strayed from the dark path she was destined to go on if she stayed with her mother, and possibly one day he might be reunited with his daughter and he knew that he had Ice to thank for that.
The queen was angry she had killed a hoard of her servants over her anger, and almost killed Tazuki.
She kept on trying to sense her daughter's spiritual pressure, but had no such luck.
'I know you're not dead Mihime,' she thought.
'And I will not rest peacefully until I find you!'
Later that night Asami was sitting in her rocking chair rocking Mihime asleep. She looked out the window and said.
"I know your parents love you Mihime,"
She rubbed her finger over the girl's cheeks.
"And I'm making a promise to them tonight that I'll try my best to raise you into beautiful young women."
Whether he really heard the human woman's promise or not it did not matter. Because not too long after Asami made the promise the Soul King smiled.
