Yumichika opened his eyes to the soft pattering of rain on his face. The sky above him was dark and cloudy, thunder could be heard afar. As he came to sit up he realized that he way in his own world. The scene around him was magnificent and he was glad that this is where he decided to escape to after that painful incident. Yumichika slowly stood looking around the endless fields of flowers to attempt to find his Fuji. He sighed as he knew where the mischevious little peacock would be and made his way past the blue flowers, then pink, then green to walk up to the red hill.
"Fuji?" he called out softly, looking around slowly to take in the surroundings. He knew that Fuji would be lazily sitting around somewhere on the grand hill with the Bonzai tree ontop. Yumichika once asked Fuji why he loved the tree so much, after all it wasn't very beautiful. It was an old tree that looked a thousand, it more slouched then anything and there were dead vines surrounding it. It looked hideous really, if you looked from far away it looked like the tree had died long ago and the flowers that covered the hill was its blood. Fuji simply laughed at him and told him 'Just because it looks this way on the outside doesn't mean its not truly magnificent on the inside. One day you will see its beauty as I have. When your ready'. When Yumichika found where the peacock hid he stood frozen as he found something that should not have been there. There were two figures laying together under the shaded leaves.
"Well helloooo Yumichika, I'm so glad you could finally join us. Such tardiness is so unbecoming" Yumichika growled as he heard the smile in Fuji's voice. One day he was going to strangle the flamboyant little peacock, to death next time. He hesitantly made his way toward the lounging figures.
"And why would I listen to you? You wouldn't know beauty if it beat you over the head. You've no right to tell me anything. I was being fashonable after all." Yumichika scoffed. The nerve of his zanpakto. As he made his way under the tree he gasped in shock and looked upon the face of Fuji's new friend. This, thing, had his beautiful face. But there were many differences past that. His orange and eye accessories were gone, instead a necklace of feathers fanned down his collar bone and ontop of his shinigami uniform the figure adorned an elegent blue kimono with a white robe drapped on his shoulders. His black hair was long, nearly down to his lower back and had green and blue highlights all the way down. This doppleganger had what looked like tattoo's of black vines going up the side of his neck, to his jawbone, to end with tiny flowers on each side of his eyes.
"Hi me!" the other Yumichika said with a squeal, quickly getting to his feet. Yumichika looked at Fuji's smiling face with a confused expression as he was grabbed into a hug. "I know how it looks, you being able to see the true extent of your own beauty reflected in a way even a mirror wouldn't do justice to!"
isnt me Fuji, don't you think this is a little too strange? He thought to his zanpakto. There couldn't be two hims, it was impossible. He tried to read the man but nothing happened, he sensed nothing, just felt his world around him.
"Ah, but it is my love" Other Yumichika said with a sly smirk, looking him in the eye.
"It is you Yumi, I thought the same thing for a moment at first but he is. This is you" Fuji said with a friendly smile as the other Yumichika pulled him to sit between the two. "Its okay. He's from later in your timeline. Im not exactly sure when but it was so strange. I saw myself too yanno, just for a second but I saw me"
"I know you two are wondering why im here. Since you're finally here I'll just tell you all I can before I have to go. But we don't really have much time, I met a seer and killed her with my vines in my last fight but before I did she asked if there was anything I could change without changing anything at all. So I came here to stop something from happening"
"But why would she grant your wish if you killed her? Don't you think that this could be a trick?" Yumichika asked with a tilt of the head. This all just seemed too abnormal, which would kind of be the story to his life but now it was just getting outrageous. How could this be? It could never happen, to travel back in time? Silly concept it was. But then again, people had said the same thing when the Bounds invaded the Seritei. They'd said 'how could they just use reatsu like that? It was impossible'. And yet here he was living the dream.
"Well that's just it, it was her wish. She'd lived so long and I was the only one to have ever defeated her. She gave me this with a guarentee"
"Better have a warranty" Fuji scolded and rolled his eyes. "Changing what happens in the past is a dangerous thing Yumichika, I don't know if you should do this"
"Depends, what are you going to stop from happening?" Yumichika asked himself.
"I really cant say, beautiful me, I really don't want to change anything at all. Theres something that I just cant let go. Please Yumi, allow me to take your body over and let me take care of it. I will take the brunte of the repercussions and trust me it will save us so much pain. We will always remember though. But it will help us later on, so trust me. I know you've just lost Shuhei, so stay here. Rest your heart"
"Shuhei?" Yumichika laughed and nodded. "Ok, so I get it. Im so tired gorgeous, I do need my beauty sleep"
"Fuji?" Other Yumichika asked his zanpakto. Fuji looked down at the red flowers below him for a second before letting a bright smile grace his features.
"Fine. I'll trust you both with me. You'll stay here and we'll lay together. Will you be calling on me?" Fuji asked other Yumichika as he rose. Fuji was actually suprisingly happy, since Shuhei had left Yumichika Kazeshini was much to far away to come for his visits and Fuji had been lonely. It was sad but maybe now that future Yumi had come then someone else could come and keep him company. Someone other than that lazy red ogre that always burst into his world to hid from his wielder. Hozikimaru snored much too loudly and Fuji hated sleeping on his always moving chest. It was uncomfortable. Suddenly he wondered how fun it would be to sleep ontop of Yumichika and his smile grew wider.
"Yes, soon enough I will. Then you will both feel my power. It may be overwhelming at first but please bare with me" Yumichika nodded at himself and couldn't help but feel pride rise in his chest. He looked up at himself, beautiful hair, white robe blowing in the wind, the confidenc e in the older him was gratifying.
"Hey me, let me ask you something before you go" Yumichika asked himself with a grin.
"One" he answered holding up one finger.
"What squad do you head?" Other Yumichika leaned his head back and looked at the sky before letting out a hearty laugh. He flicked his hair to his front and turned to show them the back of the robe. Twin gasps rang out and he started to walk away.
"I will see you two soon enough" As the future Yumichika dissapeared into a white light Yumichika and Fuji looked at eachother with happieness.
"Isn't it amazing Yumi? I told you we would go far if we wanted. We truly are the two most beautiful things to grace these worlds" Fuji exclaimed. Yumichika couldn't help but look back at the place where his future self no longer stood not moments ago.
With an evil grin he looked over at the moon in the bright horizen. "The second squad is beautiful in itself" He didn't think about the fact that the position was currently filled, or the fact that his future self hadn't looked like he had aged a day, he was only happy to know that eventually he will have the courage to reach his full potential. Today was sincerely a gorgeous day.
