Chapter 6: How They Got to The Soul Society
As Inuyasha and Yoruichi arrive at Kaede's village, Sesshomaru has something that no one would expect him to do. He smiles to the tanned woman. "Yoruichi Shihoin. It's been a long time hasn't it?" He greets her. Yoruichi shows her own grin in responds. "Lord Sesshomaru, I see you've slightly changed the last time we met." She said to him. Everyone around the duo are just beyond shocked just to see this side of Sesshomaru. All they know that he was cold and careless. But this takes a cake. "I take it that Inuyasha's desperate to get to Kagome through the well, I assume?" Sesshomaru starts off the conversation. Yoruichi crossed her arms, "It's too obvious for him to know that since day one. But I'm here to take you to the Soul Academy." She answers his question. "What is the Soul Academy?" Shippo asks the woman curiously. Yoruichi smiles, "It's a learning facility where Soul Reaper develop their skills. And you guys are going." She said to the rest of the group.
Miroku and Sango seem confused. "Why us? We're not Soul Reapers and we're alive." He tilts his head. Yoruichi stops him, "Don't worry. Basically those who die would lose their memories and start anew. But I can't slip you guys without losing your memories." She explains to them. "And what about Inuyasha? He cannot live without his Tetsusaiga." Sango asks her. They know better that Inuyasha doesn't have his demon blood will surface. "That's won't be necessary. For the Soul Academy, each student will know their own sword or they call it a Zanpakuto." Yoruichi explains to them. "But we should take you to the Soul Academy at once." She adds as she pulls out a knife. Everyone look how she handles her knife. "Now Open!" She commands the knife as she turns it like a key. A pair of feudal gate open up to another set behind it. A few black butterflies come out. "These Hell Butterflies will inform the other side that we coming." Yoruichi said to them. "Let's go." She finally said to them as the group enter the Precipice World.
With the Sinkaimon Doors closed behind them, the surround become pitch black. "Which way do we go?" Miroku asks to get the right direction to the destination. Just go up ahead and fast. Every 7 days the cleaner clears out the path. So we better move." Yoruichi shouts as they make a run from the upcoming cleaner. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru run with remarkable speed with Kirara in her sabre-toothed form with Sango, Miroku and Shippo on his back following the two half-brothers. So the light up ahead shines to let them know that they're at the end of the passage. Before they cheered, the cleaner somehow got closer to them. "Don't look back and keep going." Yoruichi yells at the newcomers.
From the Soul Society, the bigger Sinkaimon doors are guarded by two soul reapers. "What's the status update?" A voice gets their attention to stand perfectly still for the owner of the voice. "They should be on their way as we speak, Captain Kuchiki." One of the guards gives his answer. The captain is wearing a captain's coat with a insignia of the kanji number 6 on the back of it. The man is wearing a silvery-white scarf, that's highly priceless to get anywhere in the word. His hairstyle is unique as well. On his right side are two triangular tubes for his hair to go through. Along with those are three more of them which leaves three strands of his bangs hanging over his face from the upper-left to the lower right. "Good. They should arrive at any moment now." Captain Kuchiki said to the them.
A few minutes later, the Sinkaimon doors open up with the hell butterflies giving the message that Yoruichi sent to them. "They have arrived sir." One of the soul reapers informs the captain. Byakuya Kuchiki nods and looks into the bright light of the passage way to the world of the Living. First out comes Yoruichi. "Byakuya, I see you still hold your post like your grandfather." She greets him first. "Likewise. Have you retrieved the people required to assigned the Soul Academy?" Byakuya responds back to the woman before him. "Of course I did." Yoruichi smiles and gestures the following individuals. "Byakuya, I want to introduce, Miroku…" Miroku comes out with a respectable bow. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He greets as he walks to the side to allowing his friends. "Sango…" Sango comes out with Kirara in her arms. "Hello there, and this is my cat Kirara." Kirara meows nicely. "Shippo…" Shippo looks around shyly and gives his bow. "Hello." He said and steps aside. "Inuyasha…" Inuyasha comes out than expected. Instead of silver hair, dog ears, claws on his fingers, and his eyes weren't golden. He's in his human instead. "Yo." He simple greets and steps aside. "And Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands." Yoruichi finalized her introduction to the last member of her group.
Sesshomaru comes out as well, but in a different appearance. Just like Inuyasha, his elf like ears are round, his markings are gone as well as his claws, and his hair is jet black as well. "I only came here to help seek out more information about Naraku who went into Hueco Mundo. It's an honor to meet you." He gives cold, yet respectful greeting to the Captain of Squad 6. Byakuya could see that he and Sesshomaru could get along pretty quickly. "Then welcome to the Soul Society. Lord Sesshomaru, I have a special training program to help you achieve more power." Byakuya said to him with the equal respect. Sesshomaru nods as the two males walk a different path. Yoruichi shakes her head and guides Inuyasha and his friends to a different direction, the Soul Acedamy.
