Oh hey! Update on the story here. AND THE PLOT THICKENS~~
The rips in Seretei were becoming more severe. Many times a day hollow would flow into soul society causing all kinds of problems. Originally, the squad closest to the rip would be the squad responsible for the containment of the rip. Now that the situation had worsened, Genryuusai needed a different approach to keeping all of soul society safe.
"I hate being called to these captain meetings," Yuki stretched while she spoke to her vice-captain, Hinamori.
"Mou~ Taicho, how can you say that? Shouldn't you be used to going to these things by now?"
"I suppose, but they'll never get less irritating,"
All the captains and vice-captains gathered, now awaiting Genryuusai to make his appearance. Yuki had been dreading this particular captain's meeting for years now. Today was the day to announce that Raiden was ready to be tested. Of course that meant he would be tested immediately. He was already waiting to be called into the room.
Next Door
Raiden was brought out of his holding cell and taken outside of the 12th squads facility for the first time since he could remember. He was taken to the 1st squads building and put into a room where his restraints were removed and they handed him a kimono like the shinigami wear. He didn't want to admit how excited he was. After so many long years in captivity he was finally going to be given his chance at freedom. His sensei had given him a shirt to wear under his kimono, it had a lengthened neck. It was to hide the hollow shell that was on the back of his neck.
Sensei, it's a shame that we must hide.
In the Meeting Room
Genryuusai entered. After the general greetings he began to speak, "I believe 5th squad captain Minji-taicho has something to discuss before we begin the meeting," all eyes turned to Yuki. She had not told anyone about this, it was a surprise for all.
"Yes, I would like to begin the shinigami initiation test of one of the on-going projects from the 12th squad" the doors opened as Raiden began to enter the room, "I present to you, Minji Raiden"
Enkimura recognized the boy instantly as he bowed before the captains. Minji Raiden? Is he an orphan or perhaps...
"Kurostuchi-taicho, your report" Genryuusai nodded.
As Kurostuchi-taicho spoke, there were many thoughts going around the room. Kyourane Chou was glaring Raiden up and down. Who is this new boy? Where did he come from? I never heard anything about this! Minji? Minji Yuki's son? No way. No way she went and had a kid. I would have known about it!
Raiden was then tested on his knowledge over kiddo and swordsman ship, it was now time for battles. Yuki was nervous. She was reminded of when she brought before the captains.
This test was created for her.
There were arguments and fights to decide if she would even be allowed to stay. Kurostuchi-taicho wanted her permanently admitted as a science project for his experiments. Hitsugaya and Renji were the ones who fought to protect her.
Past
This captains meeting was held in secrecy. Only captains and Renji were present.
"Why don't we just contain her and study her? She would be excellent research!" Kurostuchi-taicho spoke as looked down at the young girl.
"No! She is a shinigami! Abducted by Aizen for his experiments! Why torment her longer?" Hitsugaya was walking that thin line of anger.
"She could be dangerous! What if she holds loyalty to Aizen? What if she intends to finish his work now that he is gone? " Soifon glared at Yuki.
Amongst the arguments Yuki's mind was only on Gilgamesh. They had taken him from her when she arrived. She missed him. She was still in shock over the situation, it had only been a day since she left the lab she knew as home. She was frightened about what would happen to her.
"She is strong! And holds no allegiance!" Unohana-taicho had looked over Yuki for injuries. She pitied the girl and saw only sadness.
"What about the fact that she had a child inside of her?" Kyoraku-taicho sighed, "Who knows what kind of monstrosity is inside of her? It could be some awful experiment of Aizens. It could be trouble,"
Yuki's hand went to her stomach, "The child..." the room went silent, "the child is no experiment. There is a father,"
"Shima Akuma, you will be the first to spar with the boy" Genryuusai-taicho spoke, awaking Yuki from her daze, "this will be a hand to hand combat. Kiddo is permitted"
How dare he make Raiden fight Akuma in a kiddo battle Yuki felt her tooth puncture her lip.
Shima Akuma was not the type of person to go easy on an opponent. She was also upset at Minji Yuki for never talking about this boy before. Why didn't she tell me about this handsome man?
After the battle with Shima-taicho, Kuchiki-taicho was told to battle with him.
Why wont Genryuusai cut him some slack?! Yuki was furiously nervous. Raiden was doing well, but she feared an accident.
With the battles over Genryuusai clapped his cane to the floor, "Well, I believe it will be safe and fitting to admit Raiden as a shinigami," Raiden's face lit up, "that being said, I believe he is too advanced for him to attend the shinigami school, yet lacking the ability to be placed into a squad as he cannot perform shikai. Therefor he will be under strict supervision and added to a special unit that I am making."
Special Unit?
"This unit will be in charge of determining the cause of the increasing rips, cleaning up the hollow that invade, and making the rips stop,"
"Who will be on this unit?" Yuki asked, she wanted to stay close to Raiden. She didn't want him to ever lose control without her there.
"Kyourane-taicho will be in charge of research into the cause, the 12th squad has other matters on their hand so the 9th squad will be in charge instead," Chou-taicho straightened her posture, she had been given the opportunity to watch closely after Raiden, "Shima-taicho will be in charge of closing the rips with her kiddo skill she is a necessity. Then Enkimura-taicho and Minji-taicho will be in charge of hollow clean up."
Yuki felt this moment defined bittersweet perfectly. She was able to monitor Raiden closely, but she had to work with that pest of a captain.
Enkimura's feelings of bittersweet hurt far worse that Yuki's ever would. He was now able to work closely with Yuki that made his heart stop, but he would only grow to like her more and be forced to destroy her.
He felt like the universe was working against him.
This is perfect Enkimura. Now you will be able to take her out without a problem!
How's that for an update huh? Got some implied battles, controversy, unspoken confusion, and my favorite...SUSPENSE!
MUWAHAHAHAH
