Disclaimer: I did not create, and do not own the characters from Bleach, They are owned by, and I may borrow them for your possible and hopeful enjoyment. But I DO own Tsukikade, she is completely mine so do not steal her or else you will feel my wrath once I find out that you did (and trust me I will).
Author's Note: Hi people, this is a chapter that many of you looked forward to(no it isn't the revelation of who I was talking about in chapter 2). I hope that now that I have reached this point, more people might take a liking to my story, thus bringing in more reviews… because the pitiful total of only two reviews, and 145(and counting) views isn't doing much for moral on this end, when the story that I hadn't originally put little stock in has only a couple more chapters than this and it has 27 reviews, and 5,137(and counting) views, hopefully, this difference will change as time passes and I post more chapters since I have a lot of fun planning this story. K! now on with the show… I mean story! XD
Oh, and to anon who sent me a review: good guesses, but that wasn't what the challenge was on, if you want to try guessing for the challenge… go re-read chapter two all info I have given so far is in there(not counting this chapter). But as for what you did guess, no I am not the silver fox, but good try. And for the second thing… well let me just congratulate you on a good guess, though I would REALLY like to know your reasoning behind those guesses and how you came to those conclusions… so if you would send me another note with that, I would be very grateful, since it will help me improve my sneaky writing skills XD*foxy grin*.
Chapter Four: A Place of Chaos
*RED ALERT, THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH IN SOUL SOCIETY*
*I repeat: RED ALERT, THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH IN SOUL SOCIETY*
"Oh bother" I sighed in annoyance as yet another useless-in my opinion- red alert blasted in my eardrums and all around the Seireitei, – I really got to learn how they manage that so I can find a counter to it, it is pointless unless all you want is hurried chaos… which might not be that bad of an idea … in a controlled environment which ALL of Seireitei certainly is not. – I thought, thoroughly annoyed by the current situation as I skillfully dodged frantic seat-less officers running back and forth in the now not-so-empty-corridors with no effort as I delivered paperwork in my daily routine, this sort of thing becomes instinctual after twenty years of being a real Shinigami and I am not even bothered by the blasting alerts that have been going off every two minutes, "besides, if they actually needed me they can send for me, or blast an alert calling for me, otherwise I'm not going to bother. I am not going to frantically run around in a panicked frenzy, for that gets nobody anywhere…. except into trouble" I said the last part as I saw Kenpachi running off in a mad dash, probably hoping that the so-called 'intruder' could give him the thorough beating that he has sooo been lacking for the last few decades, though he'd never phrase it that way.
As I continue on my ever crowded path I start to ponder over events that had happened to me, I had gotten a lot of progress and have even had a few more spars since that first one with my Captain, but recently I had a little spat with my usual sparing partner and that made me curious…–I wonder where Rukia has been hiding? This is the kind of thing she usually runs over here and drags me off somewhere for something, oh well… if she wants to continue avoiding me after that last spat she can go ahead, though, maybe I shouldn't have dismissed Renji when he was trying to tell me something so harshly… maybe there's a reason behind all of this? Nah, it is just coincidence there is no way that this turmoil is connected to Rukia of all people, I mean I know she can be clumsy and get herself into messes but this would be kind of big for her…– I mused to myself in my head, not even trying to pay attention to the world around me as I mechanically got myself down the winding halls to the door that was my current destination.
I find my self reminiscing, about Toshiro… and my old friend, oh how I miss him and his.. antics but I DO know the reason that he left for the human world and never returned… but I am not going to think about that, I do wonder sometimes though, what he would think of me now that I am the third seat of his old squad, I am not sure but I think he'd be… well happy for me, and his reaction probably would be in his eccentric way. I sigh, there I go again getting lost in my memories, but I find myself reminiscing more and more these days, maybe it is because I am gaining more to reminisce about? I don't know.
I came back to my conscious self as I slid open Hitsugaya's office door without knocking, as is my habit and walked inside, to find Toshiro yet again ranting at Rangiku for her slacking off in the paperwork department as she lazily ignored him while lying on the couch, trying to get rid of her most recent hangover that she gave herself. I sighed, "Ohayo, Captain, here is today's paperwork finished for you." I said, already in the process of organizing what I brought onto his desk. I looked up, but Toshiro had given up on scolding his Lieutenant, and was now walking back to his desk.
"Good work Enkaisukai-san, you are dismissed, I may need you later so come back this evening." He said, his irritation still evident in his voice, I merely nodded and left. Off to find Ikkaku, he's always up for a spar.
'~, Time skip'~,
It has been a few days since the initial panic, and so far nothing has happened other than rumors that gate guard Jibando, has been defeated. Though I am not sure if this is true or not, you can never tell when you're dealing with rumors. I find myself looking up, to see if the top of the wall I was walking beside is clear or not so I could Shunpo up there and then use Seireisenko to move faster, when suddenly there was a loud *BOOM*, and I could see a glowing object had hit the protective barrier that surrounds the Seireitei and was stuck there for some reason. –now THAT'S something you definitely don't see everyday– I thought in awe, as I saw the sphere break through the supposedly impenetrable barrier, but whoever or whatever was inside it must have gotten detached somehow because it suddenly disappeared into four beams of light that shot off in different directions like meteors. –and knowing Captain Kenpachi he's going to try and locate which one of those contains the strongest foe since considering the rumors those are probably intruders and he's going to try to locate it with that directionally incompetent lieutenant of his– I thought with a slight sweat drop at the thought of the hyperactive Fuku-taicho of squad 11. I decided that skipping the roofs would be safer for me and just ran on the ground. As I habitually guided myself through the ruins of Seireitei, I ignored the panic and sounds of fighting that I occasionally heard, knowing that since patrols were most likely set out, they were more likely to fight each other due to squad rivalries than to actually discover and fight an opponent that was smart enough to find a way through the barrier. So I tuned out the random sounds I heard and continued running towards my squad barrack, not knowing that I was also running towards something that would make my life endlessly more complicated. In ways I would have never realized.
