Chapter 7- The Shinigami
Hello people... ok I have nothing to say so let's get on with this torture...I mean story.
With the Shinigami...
"Beep beep beep" went Hitsugaya's cell phone, well to most people it would look like a cell phone, but it was actually designed to track down hollows that appear and to send him the odd message from the soul society. "Looks like I'm the closest one to it..." he thought as he sped off and destroyed the hollow. It has been a few weeks since the presto-arrancar was defeated and there has not been much to do. The shinigamis restlessness was shown in the random activities they have been taking part in just to cure their boredom. Hitsugaya had been given numerous complaints from Ikkaku Madarame about not being given enough to do. 'It's like the calm before a storm" the young captain thought, knowing the unavoidable war that was going to take place this winter. That was only 2 months from now.
When arriving at Orihime's house, he was greeted by the loud voice of his vice-captain.
"TAICHO!!!!!!" yelled Matsumoto, before running at him to give one of her 'hugs' but ended up face first in the wall because Hitsugaya dodged her.
"oiiii, taicho, that was mean..." she whined rubbing her nose. standing up she suddenly remembered why she was waiting for her captain to return. "Taicho, Yamamoto-sotaicho wants to speak to us about something important. I have already called Ikkaku and Yumichika, they should be here...
"Konbanwa!!!" (A/N- this means good evening)
"now" finished Matsumoto.
When everyone gathered in the room with the communication device. Matsumoto clicked on the screen and Yamamoto-sotaicho appeared on the large screen. After short greetings they decided to get straight to the point.
"Hitsugaya-taicho, I presume you heard of the Elemental countries?" asked Yamamoto-sotaicho
"I know of it, but I have little knowledge on the subject, it is handled with great care and no one other then captains know anything of it. I know that they, like the Kings palace, is in a separate realm then the real world and the soul society. While there are many similarities between that world and this one, the main difference is that some humans in the Elemental countries have some strange abilities."
"yes, the humans with the strange abilities are called shinobi. they use something similar to reitsu, called chakra. They use this chakra to do their techniques and from what I know is similar to our demon magic. Im sure they have other abilities but I to am limited on what I know. But I do know that about nine very powerful demons, called bijuu, that can be found in the Elemental countries. They are named based on the number of tails they have, the first one had one tail and is called ichibi and the last one has nine tails and is called kyuubi. Almost all of these demons are sealed inside humans, these humans are called Jinchuuriki. About 22 human years ago, Shinigami from the soul society sealed one in a human and sent her to that world when she was and infant. there she was re-born into that world as a Jinchuuriki." Yamamoto paused before continuing. "well, it seems that even though the Jinchuuriki is a subject that only I and the soul society head before me knew about, but it seems that Aizen somehow found out about this. The documents about the Jinchuuriki are sealed and stored in a top secret place in the library. Aizen's reitsu signature was not found on the documents, so either he hid his signature well and found it during his stay there, or, someone else may be feeding information from here."
A few people gasped, others just open their eyes wide.
"So you are saying there may still be a traitor in the soul society?" asked Matsumoto.
"thats exactly what I'm saying. A few days ago, a group of Big Hollows and a Espada member attacked one of the villages in the fire country. We believe this village has at least one or two of the jinchuuriki living in it, so that attack was probably to lure them out. Aizen will no doubt try to use these bijuu for his army. if he gets even one, we will be doomed."
"Even if he gets one..." said Hitsugaya "just how powerful are these Bijuu?"
"Strong enough to wipe out the soul society in a day"
"So these Jinchuuriki, are they like super powerful because of the bijuu?" asked Ikkaku.
"yes, every Bijuu has different abilities, so the Jinchuuriki usually has weaker versions of these abilities. And when in mortal danger they can get power from these Bijuu. I already wrote a letter to the leader of the village that was attacked. The village is called Konoha, and I offered to make an alliance with them so that we can work together to defeat Aizen, who is now their enemy as well. I told them where to meet you guys, so expect them soon."
"So they are coming here?"
"yes, they would not be able to got through to the soul society without a shinigami with them. When they do get there, Hitsugaya-Taicho will take them to the soul society where they can choose whether they wish to become shinigami. That will no doubt increase their strength, but in return ask them to teach you guys some of their techniques. The reason I think this will work is because Reitsu is so similar to chakra, there is hardly no difference, the main one is that Reitsu has its own network running through the body then the rest of the body, that is why even if a shinigami were to lose their spiritual power, they would still live, but the if the Chakra system stops working in a shinobi, they will die."
"But what about here, with the danger of the Espada attacking, is it really a good idea for me to leave?" asked Hitsugaya.
" The shinobi will only be here however long it takes them to gain shinigami powers, if they accept the offer that is, right after that you will take them back to Kankura Town and train them there. But before all that you guys will probably have to gain thier trust. They are not called ' The Hidden Elemental countries' for nothing, they have to suspect everybody."
"If thats all, Yamamoto-sotaicho, can I go tell Renji and the others about this?"
"yes, I'm done and you should do that"
Once everyone left, Hitsugaya stayed behind to ask Yamamato-sotaicho something.
"Yamamoto-sotaicho, you said about someone leaking information to Aizen... Is Hinamori one of the suspects?"
"At the time the documents were unsealed, Hinamori-fukutaicho was in the Hospital recovering, I talked to Unohana-Taicho and she told me she had not left the hospital that day, so she is not considered a suspect."
Hitsugaya smiled "thank-you Yamamoto-Sotaicho"
A/N:::: HA! I bet you all thought that Hinamori would be the one helping Aizen, but in my opinion there are to many FFs where she goes and helps Aizen and then some OC comes along to heal Hitsugaya's broken heart or something like that.
O.K ON WITH THE STORY!!!!
Michiko woke early that morning. Today was the day she would go through a portal to a different world, and join some group of beings calling themselves shinigami to help fight a group of monsters that are trying to take over their world. Sounds like some corny science fiction novel. Getting the rest of her stuff together she looked over at the clock, she still had and hour before having to meet everyone else. Michiko walked over to the mirror. Tsunade told her and Emiko not to wear their ANBU uniforms because it would catch to much attention in the world they were going to. Michiko was wearing a black t-shirt with black gloves that reached just above her elbows, she had skin-tight black shorts, her weapon bag tied arownd her right leg and a sleeveless knee length dark purple jacket tied with a black belt over top, her jacket had many pockets inside, perfect for holding weapons and such. Her Konoha headband was tied arownd her right arm.
Michiko moved her mirror out of the way to reveal something that she would rather fight a dozen of those masked monsters before letting anyone see. Nailed on the wall was a long piece of wood with a bunch of ticks made with kunai or pencil. Evey so often, Michiko would measure her hight, hoping that she grew some. Today she leaned her back against the wood and took out one of her kunai and put a mark where the top of her head was. She grew a little since she checked last week but only by a centimeter or so. Sighing, Michiko paced around the room for the rest of the time until she had to leave.
When an hour past and Michiko went to the front gate to meet everyone else. Sitting around the gate were Naruto, Sakura, Neji, and Tenten.
"Ohayou, where is everyone else? We are supposed to leave in five minutes."
"Well Kakashi is being Kakashi, Gai and Lee are out doing laps for some reason." answered Tenten. A few minutes later, Gai and Lee joined them.
"OK, Tsunade-sama said that it will take five days to reach the portal! Lets use all our youth to make it there in three!" said Gai flashing his nice guy pose
"YES!" yelled Lee, in the same pose as his sensei.
Everyone stared at the two blankly, "thats not possible, no matter what promises you make or what you say, unless you want us all to kill ourselves on the way." said a exasperated Tenten. "now where are Kakashi and Emiko?"
"I...IM...H...HERE!" yelled Emiko between breaths. She must have ran from her house here. Emiko was wearing a black tank top with her clans symbol on the back, a light blue star with a white line running through the middle, and a tight black skort with blue lines down either side of it (same blue as the blue on her symbol), her konoha head band was tied like Sakuras but the cloth was light blue. She, like Tsunade, had the skill to fight and run around with high heels, so she was wearing a pair of those as well.
once she caught her breath, she apologized for being late, and looked around and thought 'well at least I'm not later then Kakashi...'
After waiting around for about twenty minutes, everyone started getting really annoyed, well, more annoyed then they already were. Michiko was about to run off to find him when with a poof, Kakashi appeared.
"sorry guys, I ran into the little kid who..."
"YEA RIGHT, YOUR LYING" chimed everyone. Kakashi sweat dropped and everyone picked up their bags and with one look at their home, wondering how long until they see it again, they left.
Five days later...
Naruto was not having fun
So far on his trip he received four punches from Sakura and a kick in the face by Michiko, he called Michiko a "shorty" after she refused to take a detour to go to a ramen shop in a nearby town. Another reason he was upset was that all the town they passed by on the way had no ramen, yes you heard right NO RAMEN! The horror!
"Kakashi-sensei! are we almost there yet?" whined Naruto for the up tenth time that day.
"Naruto, what did I tell you last time you asked me that?"
"four hours"
"how long has it been since you last asked me?"
"...ten minutes"
"ok then, do the math, and dont ask me again"
Five minutes later...
"Kakashi-Sensei are we alm...""BAM!"
Ok, so make that FIVE punches from Sakura.
When they did finally reached the portal, they saw what looked like an old shrine with two statues of some kind of creature on either side of it.
Michiko and Emiko already knew what to do they quickly explained to the three chunnin and genin in the group. At this time Kakashi and Gai went to the two statues on either side. On the top of the creatures head was a seal. It took a few minutes for Kakashi and Gai to unseal the seals, when they did they inserted some of their chakra into the statues and in the empty door frame of the shrine appeared an old fashioned door. When Kakashi opened the door everyone saw an long tunnel that was not dark but there was no lamps or other light source that they could see.
"so this is it?" asked Naruto "I expected at least flashy lights or something." he said poking his head in the tunnel.
"Ok enough standing around, lets go." said Michiko
And with that everyone stepped through the door.
Ok I know nothing much happend in that chapter, I wanted to get this Chapter on before School, and I wanted them to meet the shinigami in this chapter but I, once again got my work erased again...this time by my dad sweatdroppes Im not having much luck with this, I need to remember to save everytime I leave the computer.
And you know how usually when school comes people say that they wont be able to update as often? well not me, I find I update more often because typing FFs is a reason (for me) to not do homework (which I hate) and since I tend to do homework at the last second (the morning its due) I will type this to avoid doing the homework (as you may guess, my teachers LOVE me sarcasm)
once again sorry for not having the meeting this chapter, i tried making it longer this time...
ja ne!
