BLEACH-THKC-Arc 1: Ch. 4: Kidnapping! The Unwilling Bride Retrieved

When Hisana awoke from her nightmare, her eyesight was blurry due to her crying tears for the woman while in her sleep. She was still nude from her transformation from cat to human, so to avoid embarrassment, she left her bed and locked the door, as well as locking her window and closing the curtains. She finished getting dressed in her shihakushō as soon as dawn broke, leaving for a morning walk while her tea brewed, leaving a stray cat that looked like her cat form in the room, just as a practical joke. What she didn't expect was that a group of thugs had infiltrated the Seireitei, waiting for her to pass by.

She passed them, only then sensing the reiatsu of her kidnappers. "Who's there?" she demanded, as she turned around. "I'll let you know that illegally entering the Seireitei is punishable by life in prison, and assaulting a 3rd seat is a capital offence," said Hisana, listing the law infringements like a judge. "And I'm the head of all prison activity within the Soul Society."

Unfazed, they proceeded to approach her with hushed movements. Then, out of nowhere a man had come up from behind and chopped the side of her neck with his hand, rendering her unconscious.

When she came to, she was suspended by her arms, high enough that her lower body was on the ground, but her upper body was immobile and she was in a cell lined with what she could only identify as sekkiseki. 'Shit, now no one will be able to find me. And how was that guy able to get behind me,' she thought as she looked up to see her zanpakutō propped up on the wall opposite. 'Oh, now that's just adding insult to injury – taking a shinigami's zanpakutō and putting it on the wall opposite her while she can't move to get it,' thought Hisana as she failed to notice the iron grate door on her right open, then close.

"Well hello, my dearest Hisana," said a low voice in a tone of caring, whilst cupping her chin in his right hand.

"Who the fuck are you?" said Hisana as she removed her chin from the man's hand. "No, wait, let me amend that. Who the fuck do you think you are?" she literally spat at him.

"Hm. Apparently your time with your father has spoiled your personality. When we last saw each other, you weren't so… rude. Yes, you were more… respectful of me and my men," said the man as he walked away, wiping a handkerchief on the top of the rags that were commonly worn by males in the outer Rukongai. "But, either way you will learn. Also, my name is Byaku Shimura, or at least it was. Now, I am referred to as Byaku Uchiwa," said the man as he walked away, revealing him to be no older than Kaien. "And you, my precious girl, were to be my wife."

Meanwhile, Ichigo was working on his divisional paperwork when a hell butterfly flew in through the window. When he picked up the butterfly, his eyes opened in shock.

"Momo, can you please take care of the rest of the paperwork? I kinda' need to be somewhere," said the captain of squad 5 to his lieutenant, grabbing the nodachi that was his zanpakutō's sealed state and strapping it to his back in haste.

"It's ok, Captain. I'll take care of things here," said the 5th squad Lieutenant. While her form was still that of a girl, she had filled out over the century – her hair was no longer kept in the bun that it was when Sōuske Aizen was the Captain; instead, her hair was kept in a mid-back length braid, and her only visible scar was the one on her back, given to her by Captain Tōshirō Hitsuguya when he was tricked by Aizen into mortally wounding her; only luck had let it be that Unohana was able to heal her in time to save her life. And even then, only the females of the squad could see it, and only when she was taking a shower in the squad bath area.

As the captains walked into their designated spots, the once vacant positions filled, Ichigo had taken the position of his once greatest adversary, Sōuske Aizen, to his right stood his 3rd greatest rival, Renji Abarai, replacing the commonly thought dead Gin Ichimaru (Ichigo, Orihime, Rangiku, and Rukia were the only ones to know that Orihime had actually rejected his death), and on his left past Komamura was Shuhui Hisagi, the new 9th division captain.

Once the rest of the captains were in place the Head-captain drew everyone's attention. "In this emergency Captain's Meeting, I bring to your attention that at 05:00 hours today, 3rd seat and Detention Unit Captain Hisana Kurosaki was abducted," said the booming voice of Head-Captain Genryusai Yamamoto, stressing the urgency of the situation. "All divisions are to be on high alert. I shall appoint a task force charged with finding and retrieving 3rd seat Kurosaki, as well as bringing her captors to justice. I shall request the captains of the appointed members to stay after the meeting."

Suì-Fēng stepped forward, her face stoic, but to Ichigo looked slightly hurt. "I shall have a squad from the Patrol Unit as well as my Executive Militia search for the potential location of 3rd seat Kurosaki, but considering the beast trackers I have could just barely tell where they exited, I would say it would take about a year to properly find out which Rukongai district she is in, let alone her exact location."

"Pardon my speaking out of turn, but considering from the intelligence gathered by Captain Suì-Fēng's operatives, and how the assailants acted, I would say they came from the mid to outer Rukongai. And I think we should start looking there," said Ichigo, his tone of concern braking through the otherwise permanent scowl.

"3rd seat Kurosaki is also a high-profile target; taking this into consideration, they may try a ransom. I as well apologize for speaking out of turn, but this is not just an affair of the Gotei 13 or the Onmitsukidō, but of the Kuchiki house as well," said the stoic voice of the 6th squad captain. "As much as I hate to admit it, the Kurosaki are a lower house closely connected to the Kuchiki, and hence forth, I would have as much say in this matter as Captain Suì-Fēng or Captain Kurosaki."

"Kurotsuchi, do you know any way to locate Hisana other than just trying to sense her?" asked Ichigo, looking toward the clown-like scientist.

"I can probably formulate an alternative way to locate her position, but if she is imprisoned in a cell made of sekkiseki, I can only locate where she's been. Fortunately, she came to me earlier this week asking if a soul can be reborn in the Soul Society instead of the World of the Living, with her being the centre of this hypothesis. This concept has been proven true – Hisana Kurosaki is a reincarnated soul, but I digress. Through the resulting tissue sample, I have an imprint of her reishi, allowing me to locate down to the meter where she's been," responded the clown, in his long winded, intellectual fashion.

When Kurotsuchi mentioned the possibility of souls that died in the Soul Society being reborn in the Soul Society, everyone looked at him. "How might the reincarnation of souls into souls here be possible, Kurotsuchi?" asked the now significantly taller squad 10 Captain, Tōshirō Hitsuguya, his hair now let down, no longer adding a half foot to his height.

"My theory is that occasionally a soul is 'bumped' out of the normal flow of the Cycle of Transmigration, and instead of entering the World of the Living, re-enters the Soul Society. But one way or another, she is still a reincarnation; her soul was here previously as a different being," said the clown with a tone of presentation.

"Who was she the last time she was here?" This time Kyōraku spoke up, his hat and outrageous kimono unchanged.

"From the reishi pattern of her biochemistry, I would say," the clown made a dramatic pause, "Hisana Kuchiki."

If Ichigo and Byakuya had had a drink in their mouths at the time, they would surely be on the floor now, but fortunately, they didn't. So they had to settle for simultaneous looks of surprise fallowed by a very audible "WHAT!"

After the meeting, Suì-Fēng, Ichigo, Tōshirō, Byakuya, Hisagi, Ukitake, Kyōraku, and Kenpachi were told to stay.

The head captain was no longer siting at his desk, hopping that what he said would get through to the otherwise non-attentive captains Kurosaki and Zaraki. "Capitan Kurosaki – you and your Lieutenant are to be in charge of the task force; Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake – your Lieutenants will go out with the task force while you, Captain Hitsuguya, Captain Zaraki, Captain Hisagi, Captain Kyōraku, and Lieutenant Schiffer are on stand-by. Captain Hitsuguya – your third and fourth seats are to go with the task force along with the fourth and sixth seats of the eleventh division. Captain Suì-Fēng, what is your proposed assistance?" said the Captain-Commander without a hitch in his speech.

"I plan to send two two-man Executive militia squads, along with one four man Patrol Corps squad. One Militia squad will be placed on the stand-by group, while the other will be in charge of infiltrating the building Hisana is kept in. The Patrol squad will track Hisana's reishi signature to her point of captivity. When that is affirmed, they will note the location of the building, than allow the infiltration squad an area of access. Are there any questions?"

"If you already have a plan, where do we come in?" asked Ichigo in his talk before you think manor.

"Imbecile, your task force is needed to apprehend the captors while my squads free Hisana," replied Suì-Fēng, annoyed.

"Then I think I have an idea," said Ichigo, a plan forming in is his head.

'Is this some sort of sick form of karma, the head jailer being jailed?' thought Hisana as she tried to get more comfortable in her shackles. 'Kami, what have you done to me?'

"Getting comfortable, I see. How are the seals?" asked the voice of Uchiwa's second in command, known as Ichi.

"They still feel like they're on fire, but the pain's died down a little," explained Hisana, giving a report of the pain on her body when the seals were implemented. The seals each were made to suppress her inhuman strength due to her high reiatsu, and her ability to use her zanpakutō and kidō. There were 4 separate seals, one on each wrist partially blocking her reiatsu to keep her from using kidō, one on each arm going down to her shoulders to limit her strength to normal levels – which coincidentally was still rather strong, one on her gut for suppressing her should she try to escape, and finally one on the right scapula connecting her reiryoku to Byaku's. "I just have one question."

"What would that be, Lady Hisana," replied Ichi, holding respect for his superior's captive.

"Why am I still chained up in this pit, if you have no worries of me escaping?" asked Hisana, slightly annoyed at her situation.

"You have not regained your memories of when you were last here. Until then, you're to remain in this cell," replied Ichi as he loosened Hisana's shackles letting her move freely within the cell. "I merely came here to loosen your shackles."

"Also, I know I don't have access to my reiatsu, but can I still use jinzen?" asked Hisana again, referencing her ability to communicate with her zanpakutō.

"That is simply communicating with your own power, not materializing it, so it should work," said Ichi, handing Hisana her peace-tied zanpakutō.

She then went into a meditative stance, with her zanpakutō atop her knees, initiating contact with her zanpakutō.

Her inner world looked like a plain, covered in a gloomy grey fog. The fog was normal, but it was usually a stark white, not a dark grey. This meant that her power was in an abnormal shift. 'This is probably the work of the limiting seals,' thought Hisana. 'I need to find Raiinu fast.'

"Raiinu, are you there?" called Hisana as she shouted out to her zanpakutō spirit.

"Hisana, what do you require of me?" asked her zanpakuto's loyal voice, as a large white husky walked into view.

"What is going on in here?" asked Hisana, upset at the state of her inner world.

"Your power is backing up on itself. Do not worry, the seals will bleed out excess power if it gets to a high level," said her zanpakutō spirit reassuringly. "And this is also connected with your present state of mind."

"But I'm handling this just fine. All I need to do is wait for a rescue mission to come along and apprehend my captors."

"Hisana, that may take months. By that time, Byaku may already have had his way with you. You need to find some way to signal that you're here. Tomorrow, the seal will start bleeding out the built up energy; then, and only then, can you release my sekai and send a message to the Seireitei," said the deep female voice of her zanpakutō.

"Understood," said Hisana, as if she were taking orders.

At home, Shion had to break the news to the rest of the Kurosaki's that hadn't already been informed of the situation. "How could Hisana let herself get kidnapped like that?" said Rika, her voice filled with denial and panic.

"We could barely even sense the residual reiatsu ourselves; they must have caught her off-guard," replied Shion, her voice hoarse from crying when she received the news. Hisana was a friend that went all the way back to the academy, and her regular sparring partner.

"If they were able to catch her off-guard, then they must be masters of stealth," said Kaien as he polished his zanpakutō, a nervous habit he'd had since his academy days. "If we are to rescue her, we need to be on our guard the whole way."

"Yeah- Hey, wait! Who said you were going?" said Shion as she watched Kaien sheath his sword.

"Hisana's family. Kurosaki's don't abandon family," Kaien replied as he stood up, the Ō-katana strapped firmly to his back. "Shion, I need you to inform Captain's Komamura, Ukitake, and Kuchiki that we're assisting in the rescue," said the eldest Kurosaki child, his age looking no older than 18.

"But-,"

"Go!"

Shion reluctantly complied; she knew that it was futile to argue with Kaien. He was similar to his father in that aspect. Pulling the mask over her face, Shion sped to each of the captains, informing them that the rest of the Kurosaki's were in on the rescue mission. 'Kaien, just get out okay. I don't need Hisana losing her older brother, trying to save her,' thought Shion as she sped from captain to captain, her neck length purple hair waving in the wind of her shunpo.

A/N well, what did you think? now for Hisana's zanpakuto.

Raiinu (雷犬) translation: lightning dog

Hisana's zanpakuto is an eletric-kido type, meny of its abllties revolve around curent, magnitisum, or mass discharge, the amout of power it poseses is comperable to Hiyorinmaru, making Raiinu the most powerful electric type zanpakuto, but due to her preferance of hakuda and kido over her sekai, she vary rarely uses it.

now chariters

Kaien Kurosaki

division: 6th

rank: 3rd seat

personallity: he's basicly a toned down Ichigo, he cares for his family but has no reson to be a punk or to scowl all the time, this is also because he wishes to seperate himself from the image of his father.

Yachiru's book of nicknames: Ichi-junor (much to his dismay)

Rika Kurosaki

division:7th

rank:7th seat

personallity: she is entirely diferant from the normal Kurosaki. She isn't loud, or rude, but she can be overly blunt, which makes Karin laugh so hard she... well look at chapter 2.

Yachiru's book of nicknames: shorty jr. (she's to innocent to respond violently)

now for the star of Kubo's work:

Ichigo Kurosaki

division: 5th

Rank: captain (replacing Souske Aizen)

personallity: (do I need to do this?)

We know yachiru's nickname for him

remember Fave and review. till next time, the fleas will be killing me (not litterally)
