Where Heaven Is

Chapter 3:

In the rain

It seemed like forever since the last time they'd seen such a place.

Standing there watching the life of Shinigami was so peaceful.

Compared to their life it was peaceful.

Blond haired framed a tan scared face as he starred down at the city; the sky above them was dark and foretold rain.

"They don't even notice us," He commented to the other two with him. Silence was his answer, but it was enough. Turning and looking at the Sōkyoku, Naruto said to Sasuke,

"Are you going to get your zanpakutō?" Sasuke glared at the blond,

"Of course, idiot, why else would we be here?" Naruto blinked his blue eyes shining with mirth,

"I thought we were here to see Konohamaru-chan!!" Naruto giggled, Sakura shook her head.

"Let's meet back in a bit, we should find our zanpakutō." The other two nodded, Naruto's body disappeared in a black vortex, Sakura nodded towards Sasuke before taking off running, Sasuke turned around, and began the long unsealing of his own zanpakutō.


Ukitake Jūshirō, Kyōraku Shunsui, and Ise Nanao walked into the old library. There had been a recent intrusion, and for some reason one had snuck into the oldest library in the Seireitei. In truth, normally not even captains were allowed in this library. Which led to another question, how did they know about it?

There was a shuffling of feet, carefully hiding their presences they peered over an edge of a shelf housing scrolls of an unknown language. A blond was swirling around, almost dancing, and humming a depressing tune.

Turning to almost look at them the boy, that looked about 16, laughed and said,

"There you are my little friend." Walking towards a bookshelf he pushed it aside, revealing the wall behind it to be covered in ancient runes, though parts of the design were obviously missing. Biting down on his finger he drew blood, and with his own blood he finished unsealing the door. Stepping inside he turned and smiled at the three hiding Shinigami.

"I bet your curious about what's in here, so come on, I am basically unarmed. No damage done in learning about some things." The blond waved them to come with him.

"By the way my name is Uzumaki Naruto." Shunsui grinned slightly,

"I am Kyōraku Shunsui, the one with white hair is Ukitake Jūshirō, and the scandalized woman here is Ise Nanao." Shunsui smirked at his lieutenant distasteful look, Naruto returned the grin. Turning he walked into the dark room, which lit up as soon as he came in.

Covering the walls there looked to be pictures of nine monsters, and in a stand was a zanpakutō. The blade even when sealed was beautiful. The blade itself was long and black not unlike Kurosaki's bankai, but had a deep curve to it. The hilt was also curved like the blade; on the butt of the sword were nine ribbons. There were nine different colors as well, those being: sand, black, blue, brown, grey, ginger, green, purple, and blood red. Besides the sword there were several large scrolls leaning against the walls.

Jūshirō looked at them, just able to depict what the titles were, many of there were secret scrolls of what looked like elemental nations. Jūshirō blinked in all his studying he had never heard of these places, Sunagakure, Konohagakure, and so on.

Naruto walked over and picked the zanpakutō up, balancing in his hands,

"Since you were supposed to deal with me and now I am armed lets go and fight, preferably not in the library." The three Shinigami were slightly confused at Naruto's formality. In a second Naruto lunged at them causing them to jump from the room their own swords drawn.

Naruto soon exited as well, sealing the room up again with a simple twist of his wrist. Jumping past the two Taichō and the one Fukutaichō, the blond ran up to the outside area. Once in the open Naruto screamed,

"Raise your head, and bear you teeth, attack to kill, kill to protect, Maejirase Kokonotsu no Mokushiroku namae; Keiji!" The curved sword grew until it was about six feet, and became a scythe; the ribbons connected together and became a chain with a large circular weight at the end.

The trio of Shinigami stopped and ducked as Naruto swung the large weapon, intentionally missing the group. Jumping with the large tool, he landed in mid air, the scythe floating in the air by itself. Sitting on it, the chain was shortened greatly, and the boy was off, flying through the air.


Sakura stood still feeling the pulse of her sword nearby; smiling the pink haired girl made her way towards the area.

Soon she found herself in front of a large building with a number 4 on it. Making her way towards the building without a worry, she felt the presences of another. She was being watched, by the people of the building no doubt.

Continuing on the teen, she walked towards a large fountain. A large statue of a Shinigami, mostly the founder of the building, was holding a zanpakutō. It was from that zanpakutō that the water spilled out from, cool, crisp, with healing qualities. Taking a step forwards she was stopped in her quest by a voice,

"You seem to have interest in that zanpakutō." Sakura turned around and was met by the calm caring face of Unohana Retsu, and her Fukutaichō, Kotetsu Isane. Sakura smiled sweetly and nodded,

"It's beautiful, my name is Sakura Haruno." Isane blinked,

"Why are you telling us your name?" Sakura looked at the zanpakutō, still smiling.

"My mother always said, be polite to everyone you meet, because in the end you might not be on opposite sides after all. Anyway, if I hurt you, I want to at least know your name, you seemed to be nice people, call it a code of honor or something like that." Retsu nodded, the pink haired girl was nice, but she seemed to know something they didn't however,

"Well then, my name is Unohana Retsu Taichō of the 4th squad of the Gotei 13, and this is my Fukutaichō, Kotetsu Isane." Sakura bowed, and then through the water took the zanpakutō from the statues wet hand.

"I am sorry about this, but, I must get away, and since you are both high ranking officers I should take no chances: Let the rain heal them, so you may kill them; Ayame Ketsueki." The normal sword doubled at the blade but kept the same hilt. The blade now had a slight pink tinge and the smell of Irises filled the air. Sakura raised her hand towards the air, looking as though she was about to call upon something.

Isane, got back in fighting stance, about to draw her own zanpakutō, but Unohana stopped her,

"Taichō!" The grey haired girl called, but her captain pointed towards the air where a blond flying on a scythe was coming down towards them. As he got close enough Sakura grabbed a hold of the large weapon, and sat on it just like the blond. The blond looked at them and waved happily before taking off.


Sasuke hated Konohamaru at the moment. Well then again he didn't really like the man, but the moment he was loathing him. He had put Sōkyoku completely out in the open, had her permanently sealed in the shikai form.

And not only that, some lady-captain-I-don't-like-people-person had started attacking him. She didn't even wait for him to unseal his weapon. As he dodged the stabs, Sasuke finished the unsealing process. Switching her back to her sealed form, Sasuke swung at the in shock captain.

Both stopped mid swing when there was an explosion in the air. Naruto and Sakura where flying toward them, fast.

"Move teme! Keiji says they're going to crash!!!" The blond screamed at the blacked haired man, who dodged just in time. A large cloud of dust obscured SoiFon's few. But by the time the dust had cleared, all the captains in the Seireitei currently along with their lieutenant.

The three intruders stood back to back, all ready to fight. The blond was letting of a warning growl similar to a cornered animal, the pink haired girl's sword cackled at them with a pink and blue energy, and the black hair boy looked about to unseal his zanpakutō, Soifon quickly informed the captains of the danger,

"Be careful! I don't know how he did it but that zanpakutō is the Sōkyoku!" Sasuke glared at the woman, he zanpakutō wasn't all that special, and shouldn't have been so well known. Naruto raised Keiji,

"Raise your head-"

"STOP!" All the heads turned towards the Captain-commander, Renji was quick to ask,

"Why, sir, why did you stop us?" Yamamoto ignored the question and glared at the three,

"You three, next time you visit make sure to use the front entrance, and come see me first, before, running around the Seireitei like that!" The blond began to laugh,

"But Konohamaru-chan, when do we ever listen!" Sakura smacked the back of the blonde's head, Sasuke sighed. The rain cloud finally burst, Sakura let the water run over her face, Naruto grinned childishly but his eyes told a story of old age. Sasuke sighed again, letting no emotion onto his face.

Ukitake Jūshirō watched the interaction between the captain-commander and the intruders were confusion. Looking at the falling rain he smiled from a moment, and remembered the tears, and he believed heaven was in the rain.
