The second chapter already. Initially the first and the second chapters were one, than I decided to divide it into two parts. I think it was a right decision.
Hope you like it... Soon the action will begin, I promise.
Summary: After the end of the Winter War everything seems to return to its places. But it is really like that, or it just seems to be so? And what is the meaning of this strange dream?

Chapter Two
Everyone's attention was turned to the panting Captain of Thirteenth Division who was trying to catch his breath. It looked like he had been running. Kyoraku rushed to his side and let him lean into him, to help him not to fall. Yamamoto opened his eyes and looked at Ukitake. The latter looked as if he was going to have another attack or pass out any moment soon.
"What is it Captain Ukitake? Your third seats had reported that you have lost your consciousness in the library and were resting now." He spoke. "And by the state you are in now I think it would be better for you to lie down and rest." Ukitake shook his head at this.
"There is no time for that." He had already regained his breath and continued, "It's true Captain Commander, that I lost my consciousness there, but it was not because of illness."
"If it was not that, than what was it? Explain." Yamamoto looked at him. Ukitake was able to stand on his own by now, though he still looked pale.
"As you know I have been looking through some files in the library. Then I have noticed that something was wrong with one of the files. When I looked at it, it turned out to be the one about the Key of the King," at that everyone's eyes widened. Didn't they defeat Aizen only two years ago? Who can be interested in that file again? Did Aizen still have followers left?
"Continue." Yamamoto ordered.
"I decide to find out what was wrong, and if there was a chance, to find traces of reiatsu in order to find out who was the one who touched it. So I opened the file. But, strange as it could be, the information in the file was erased. The was only one sentence written there, "This information written hear was made up and wrong, that's why I have deleted it for you, so there won't be any problems like what happened two years ago." And it was written with reiatsu."
"Were you able to find out who that reiatsu belonged?" Ukitake shook his head as no.
"But I can tell you, that the owner of the reiatsu is a very strong shinigami, a captain ranked apparently. And the reiatsu was the reason why I have lost my consciousness." After that other captains spoke up.
"A reiatsu so strong that caused a captain to lose his consciousness? Who can be that strong?"
"You heard that? How could information be wrong?"
"And he had deleted it! I didn't know it was possible!"
"Wait! Written with reiatsu?"
"Silence!" Yamamoto's voice was heard. "Do you have anything to add, Captain Ukitake?"
"In fact, I have." After a short pause he continued. "When I woke up, I found a sealed scroll and a note beside my bed. The note was addressed to me, and if you let me, I will read it aloud." He said and looked questionably at Yamamoto. The latter nodded his head as permission. Ukitake took out both, the scroll and the note, and then he opened the note, took a deep breath and started reading it.
"Well well… At last someone found out that I have deleted information from the library. Terrifying, don't you think. Someone knows how access the archive of the library. It must be pretty disturbing for you. What to say. Gotei Thirteen is really not what it used to be. It has gotten weaker than I remembered it to be.
Anyway, I wanted to put you at ease, Captain Ukitake, by telling that I am no enemy to Gotei, but an alley. And I am really sorry about my reiatsu, but there was no other way. If you didn't lose your consciousness you would have rushed to report about everything that happened to Captain Yamamoto and I wouldn't have had any time to write and give this note to you and also this scroll.
To tell the truth I am really glad that you were the one who found out about the deleted file. Just imagine how much pain in the ass it would be for me if it was Captain Kurotsuchi. Anyway, back to the main topic. I have a request... Please give this scroll to Genryusai. It is very important. And ask him to read it aloud during the captains meeting. Hope that he will grant my wish.
And about the seal on the scroll... Don't even try to open it. You can't do it. First of all because you don't know what seal it is, and the second, your zanpakutois not suitable. You need a fire type zanpakuto for it. Tell that to Genryusai too. Without knowing the element, you can't open the seal.
To show you my gratitude for helping me, I have put something in the scroll for you. It will help you with your illness… Even cure it completely if you are lucky enough. That is all I have to say. Take care. And thank you beforehand for your help… We will meet soon if I will still be alive. And to tell the truth, I certainly don't plan on dyeing" Ukitake finished reading and there was a silence. Then Captain Kyoraku spoke up.
"Well pretty interesting. Looks like the one writing it is a young man who is a little too confident. Speaking about the seal he had put on the scroll so highly. Don't think that is even possible." Most of the captains nodded their heads in agreement.
"I don't think so," Byakuya spoke. "Considering what he had already done…"
"You are right Captain Kuchiki. Everything he wrote about the seal is true. I didn't even recognize the seal. I have never seen something like this before."
"In that case hand it to me." Yamamoto ordered. Ukitake walked up to him, gave him the scroll and went to stand in his place. When he reached his place Yamamoto opened his eyes, looked at captains. Everyone was looking at the scroll in his hand.
"Very well… Might as well go with his rules and see what seal it is." With that he looked at the scroll. But as soon as he saw the seal his eyes grew wide with shock and he nearly dropped the scroll.
"Impossible! That's impossible… This can't be it… I thought that he had died a hundred years ago..." He said more to himself then to others all the while looking at the seal.
If until this moment there were some captains who were not quite interested in everything that was taking place there, then after that everyone was eager to know what was able to shock the Captain of the First Division Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni. And who the hell was the man he was talking about.
Well… After all the meeting turned out to be much more interesting than Byakuya thought it would be.
*looks at the chapter* well... here it is... feel free to criticize... I am not good at writing this kind of scenes...
To tell the truth, the main reason I wanted to post it today is that, I have an exam soon.. Exams in fact... And I know that I will not be able to write for some time... Hope I will get some free time after the 17th... If I pass the written exam that means ^_^
Anyway... Waiting for your comments on this chapter
