The 14th Court Guard Squad, The Girl From 78th District Rukon Arc, Chapter 7, Kensei Dissapears
~2 Months Later~
Over the next 2 months I had grown extremely close to many of the Captains and Lieutenants. Mostly Shinji, Kensei, Kisuke, Lisa, Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyoraku. Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyoraku came to the Squad 6 Barracks frequently to visit Byakuya and I. Byakuya and I who had lost both of our parents now had a full family again. I had talked to my older brother Roku the day after the party and he had said that he had gone to Hanging Dog and that Renji and his friends were fine. He had also told me that seeing as how I was in the Seireitei he would go back to Rukon so that he could protect Renji. In the mean time Byakuya and I had been getting closer and closer to busting Aizen. But everyone time we found a lead it ended at a dead end. And now we were walking around Shinji on a beautiful morning glaring at Sosuke as we walked.
We turned a corner and I heard the sound of clogs. Shinji looked over and so did we. It was Captain Urahara, Hiyori and Mayuri. "Oh, good morning Kisuke." Said Shinji as the walked over. "Hey. And a good morning to you to Captain Hirako." Said Capain Urahara. We walked over so that we were right in ront of them. "I told you before, just call me Shinji. Such a pain sometimes." Kisuke laughed. I laughed as well then jumped on Shinji's back. He smiled. He then looked at Mayuri. "Good morning Mayuri." He said and Mayuri looked at him. "How many times have I told you to adress me by my last name. Kurotsuchi isnt hard." Shinji frowned and looked away. "You are a pain." He said and I could hear the irritation in his voice. Shinji then looked at Kisuke. "Oh, by the way, have you heard the latest news yet Kisuke?" Kisuke looked at Shinji. "No I havent. What happened?" Asked Kisuke. That was when Hiyroi flash stepped behind us and kicked Shinji. I jumped off Shinji's back just before he fell and landed beside Byakuya. "That was close." He said smirking. I also smirked. "Hey! What's the big idea kicking me like that Hiyori?" He asked. "You said good morning to everyone but me." She then jumped on Shinji and grabbed his hair. He put his hand over her face and she grabbed his wrist. "What im not good enough to say good morning to anymore?" She asked angrily. Shinji then flipped her so that he was pinning her down and pulling on her cheek. She grabbed both of his wrists then pushed his face back with her foot. "If I said good morning you'd kick me for saying good morning." Hiyori then pulled both sides of his mouth and Shinji pushed at her face with his hand. "Is this the mouth you say good morning with?!" Byakuya and I stood on one side of Captain Urahara while Sosuke stood on his other side and all four of us watched Shinji and Hiyori fight. Captain Urahara then laughed. Sosuke then looked over at Kisuke. "By the way I was wondering have you heard the latest news yet?" Asked Sosuke and Kisuke looked at him. "No I still havent." Said Captain Urahara and Byakuya and I smirked. Although I also hadnt heard the latest news. "You don't know about the violent deaths in the Rukon District?" Asked Sosuke. Shinji then perked up. "Hold it, I was just about to tell him. Wait'a bring it all back full circle." Said Shinji giving his Lieutenanat a thumbs up. "Violent deaths?" Asked Captain Urahara. "Yeah in the last month or so there've been a series of residents dissapearing in the Rukon District. The reason is unknown." Said Shinji and I gasped. My mind flash to Renji and Roku. "Dissapearing, as in they went somewhere and never came back?" He asked. "You dumbass, that's not disspearing that's called running away. And if they just ran away then nobody would care about them. No one would go looking. Not this, this is different." Said Shinji raising his index finger. "They literally dissapear. Gone without a trace leaving only their clothes behind. If they died and became reishi the clothes they were wearing would dissapear as well. They didn't die. They vanished alive, unable to retain human form. That's the only explanation I can think of." Said Shinji and I thought about it for a moment. I then looked at Aizen. He had an unreadable look on his face. "Alive but unable to retain human form huh?" Shinji stood up and Kisuke looked at him. "I wasn't there mind you. Im just telling you what I heard from Captain Unohana. Now you know what I know." Shinji then turned around. "Well at any rate Squad 9 has already arrived on the scene to investigate." Said Shinji and I gasped. "You mean Kenssy and Mashiro?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah Kensei got impatient so he decided to go and check things out before the advance party returned." I let out a sigh. "Well Byakuya and I are going to head back to the Squad 6 Barracks." Shinji and Kisuke nodded. "See ya later Sango." Said Shinji and I saw Byakuya's eye brow twitch. "You too Byakuya." He said and Byakuya calmed down. "Alright see you guys later." Byakuya and I then flash stepped to the Squad 6 Barrakcs. When we got there we spotted Ginrei grabbing some paperwork from the front of the barracks. We ran over and grabbed the rest of the paperwork and helped carry it inside. We put it down in his office and he sighed. "Thank you two for the help. We both smiled. "Don't worry about it Grnadfather." Said Byakuya. We then spent the rest of the day at the Squad 6 Barrakcs helping out with whatever we could. We then headed back to the Kuchiki Family Manor shortly before sunset and ate dinner with Koga, Ginrei and Natsumi. It was now 9:00 and it was dark outside. In the dark sky hung a cresent moon. I sighed. I felt extremely restless. That was when the alarm went off. "Attention. Emergency Assembly. Emergency Assembly. All Squad Captains assemble immeadiatly at the Squad 1 Barracks. There is an emergency involving Squad 9. The Spiritual Pressure readings for both Squad 9 Captain Kensei Muguruma and Mashiro Kuna have vanished. An emergency meeting of all Squad Captains will soon commence." We both gasped. We got up and ran to the front of the house just in time to see Ginrei leaving. "Repeat, emergency assembly. Attention all Squad Captains assemble imeadiatly at the Squad 1 Barracks." We both looked at Ginrei. "Were coming with you. We wont come to the meeting but at least let us come to the barracks and wait outside with Lisa." He nodded. The three of us then flashstepped to the Squad 1 Barracks. I thought about Kensei and Mashiro. I had grown so close to them. During the two months that I had known them we had grown so close. The one day Kensei and Mashiro had taken Byakuya and I to a small resturant in the Seireitei that had really great milk shakes. When I hadnt been able to get any more of the milkshake out of my straw I had resorted to licking the inside of my cup trying to get it all. I remembered sitting at the table laughing with Kensei, Mashiro and Byakuya as milk shake dripped down my cheek. He couldn't be dead. Not Kensei. Kensei was so strong. Because of that he just couldn't be dead. When we got to the Squad one Barracks Ginrei went in but we snuck to the window where we knew we would find Lisa. "Hey Lisa." She smiled. "Hey." We then stood in silence until the meeting started. "We have an urgent situation. We received a rather disturbing report from Squad 9, who have arrived on the scene in the Rukon District. They stated that the spiritual pressure of both Squad 9 Captain Kensei Muguruma and Lieutenant Mashiro Kuna, Last seen in the field have vanished completely. What is unknown is how. At this point we must view this unsettling news as a worst case scenario. Until yesterday we were classifying similar cases in the rukon district as unusual occurances. But now this has escelated into a personal afront to the 14 Court Guard Squads and must be resolved." I then heard something hit the ground. Something about this didn't feel right to me. If something could make Kensei and Mashiro dissapear then it had to be the work of a Soul Reaper. Was Aizen involved? "Since this is such a dire situation I will now select five of you and you will be dispatched post haste to the scene." That was when I heard footsteps and panting. "You are late, Captain Urahara." Said the Head Captain. "Let me sir. Please sir let me go there." Said Captain Urahara. "No." Said the Head Captain simply. "I have to go! My second in command is already heading there. I should…" He was cut off. "KISUKE!" That was Yoruichi's voice. "Just control yourself. Your making a scene. You were the one who made the choice to send her out there. Cant you see that you begging to go and save her is an insult to her abilities?!" Asked Yoruichi angrily. I then heard more footsteps. "Come on don't just stand there. Lets get this done. That's it, line up" Came Captain Kyoraku's voice. "Now for my choices. Captain of Squad 3, Rojuro Otoribashi. Captain of Squad 5, Shinji Hirako. Captain of Squad 7, Love Aikawa. The three named will head to the site in the Rukon District as soon as possible. Captain of Squad 2 Yoruichi Shihoin will stay here and stand by for further orders. As for the Captain of Squad 6, Ginrei Kuchiki, the Captain of Squad 8, Shunsui Kyoraku, and the Captain of Squad 13 Jushiro Ukitake, the three of you will guard the Seireitei. As for the Captain of Squad 4, Retsu Unohana, you will stand by at the ready in the medical treatment room to await possible casualties." Said the Head Captain. "Permission to speak Head Captain. If you main concern is treatment of the wounded then shouldn't I be dispatched with the others to the Rukon District?" Asked Captain Unohana. "As long as this situation remains unclear, I will not put you, the head of medical treatment at such risk. I have someone else in mind to send to the site instead. Enter." I then heard the doors open. "Tessai Tsukubishi. It's been ages since he came out into the open." Said Captain Ukitake. "Looks like he's pulling out all he's got on this one. Doesn't it?" Said Captain Kyoraku. "I assume that you heard what I said. I expect the two of you to head to the scene imeadiatly." Said the Head Captain. "Will do." Said an unfamiliar voice. "Understood sir." Said another unfamiliar voice. There was a short pause. "Hey old man Yama." Said Captain Kyoraku's voice. "Sorry to interupt, but you know sending both the Kido Commander and his Lieutenant out to the front without knowing the situation doesn't sound to smart. Wouldn't you tend to agree?" He asked. "Well then what would you have me do?" Asked the Head Captain. "My Lieutenant could go instead of one of those guys." We both looked at Lisa. "You mean to summon her?" Asked Captain Ukitake. "That's right. Hey Lisa!" He said and Lisa jumped up to the window. "What do you want?" She asked and we both smirked. "Surprise. Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't esvedrop on a Captain's meeting?" He asked. "I couldn't help myself. It's human nature to want to hear something your told your not supposed to hear." She said and we both laughed. That was when Ginrei glared down at us from above. We both froze. "We couldn't help ourselves. It's human nature to want to hear something your told your not supposed to hear." We said at the same time. Ginrei then left the window and we sighed. "The details?" Asked Captain Kyoraku. "Yeah I heard them." Said Lisa. "Will you do it?" He asked. "Of course I will." She said. "Good you handle it." Said Captain Kyoraku. Lisa gave him a thumbs up and jumped down. "Wait Lisa. Im coming with you." She looked at me. "You don't have any weapons." I grabbed the bag from across my back and pulled out my fathers Zanpakto, five Seela Schneider and Byakuya's Senbonzakura. I handed him his Zanpakto and tucked the other six weapons into my belt. She nodded. "Alright." Byakuya and I jumped onto the window sill. "Hope you don't mind but were going too. Thanks bye." I said jumping down. "Wait you two!" I heard Ginrei say but we were already off with Lisa heading towards the Rukon District. Once we got out of the Seireitei I stopped and so did Byakuya. Lisa looked at us. "Don't worry about us Lisa just go." She nodded. I looked at Byakuya. "I need you to do me a favor Byakuya." He nodded. "Sure what is it?" He asked. "I need you to go to Hanging Dog. By the river there is a large field with a small shack in the middle. That is where my brothers live. I need you to go there and protect them just in case." Byakuya gasped. "But Sango I cant I…" I narrowed my eyes at him. "I need you to Byakuya. You are the only one I can trust with this." He sighed then nodded. "Alright but be careful." I smiled. "Don't worry, I will be there with 3 Captains 2 Lieutenants and a member of the kido force." He smiled and nodded. "Okay see you later." I nodded then headed after Lisa. Nothing would happen to me. I would be with three Captains, two Lieutenants and one person from the Kido Force. I had said that to convince Byakuya but I was really trying to convince myself. I was trying to convince myself that nothing would happen. That I would be fine. That I would get out of this unscathed. But I had a bad feeling and this feeling told me that it wasn't the case this time.
