Toshiro's/Hyorinmaru's thoughts Karin's/Akakiryū thoughts
Chap 9
Karin got up early this morning. For some reason, she felt a strange yet frightening spirit pressure.
Is something bothering you mistress?
I don't know. I just feel like something bad is gonna happen.
And in the split second, the door flew open…
"GOOD MORNING MY DARLING DAUGHT…" Karin kicked her father's face with full force.
"GOSH DAD! CAN'T YOU SAY GOOD MORNING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Karin screamed before heading downstairs, leaving her unconscious father on the floor.
Was that the bad thing you sensed mistress?
Are you kidding me?! That's practically normal! I expected that even before I went to bed.
Karin reached the dining table and saw that Toshiro wasn't there. He was usually sitting there when she came down.
"Hey Yuzu, have you seen Toshiro?" Karin asked.
"Hitsugaya, he said he had to leave to meet some people. But he's been out for quite a while." Yuzu replied as she placed the toasts on the table.
He probably went to see Rangiku and the others.
Karin reached for a piece and took a bite. Yesterday was the day when Karin unlocked her bankai. And also the day when she found out that the child genius of Soul Society wasn't much of a genius after all after tasting ice cream or 'flavoured shaved ice' as he called it. Karin finished her toast and ran upstairs to get changed to meet the others. After dragging her still unconscious dad out of her room, changing to a white shirt with a print of a black cat (Urahara gave it to her as a present, expected), denim shorts and ran out of the house with red sneakers. Off to Urahara's shop.
With Toshiro in Urahara's shop:
"Are you sure?" Toshiro asked again.
"That's what Izuru told me." Renji answered.
"If that's the case, we need to keep Karin under strict watch." Toshiro said in his strict, captain voice. All the shinigami, including Urahara and Yoruichi were sitting around the table, discussing the new problem they were facing.
"Do you think we should tell Karin-chan?" Rangiku asked.
"We might as well. She won't let us go off that easy. Besides she has a trick up her sleeve to get the answer." Toshiro replied. Everyone looked at the young captain curiously. But before they could ask, Karin slid open the door.
"Ah Karin just in time. Do please make yourself comfortable." Urahara instructed. Looking at all the people in the room, Karin knew this was urgent.
"So what's up?" Karin asked, sitting next to Toshiro.
"We got news from Gotei 13 that some arrancars got out of Hueco Mundo." Renji began. Karin knew what Hueco Mundo was, thanks to her brother. "And it seems that their after something."
"Me and the head captain knew this for quite some time. Those arrancar are after something called the Elemental Blades." Urahara continued. Ok, that was something Ichigo did not tell her. "It was recently found out that all three of them already have a master. Three of them are Raida, Kaze no senshi andChikyū inuand they are with those arrancars which just escaped. The other one is Hyorinmaru which as you can see is with Captain Hitsugaya." Karin looked at Toshiro. He had one of these powerful swords. "And the last one is Akakiryū, which you hold." Karin was stunned. She held the other Elemental Blade. Akakiryū was an Elemental Blade.
"But what's so important about these swords?" Karin asked.
"Those swords hold the most important elements to our world and have their own meaning to our lives. Fire represents the warm protection you would want to give to the people you love and care for. Ice represents the cold exterior over things you want to keep as a secret. Lightning represents the bringing fear to those innocent. Wind represents the freedom everyone desires but not easily obtainable. Earth represents the basic needs needed to continue with everyday life. Each of these elements are not only powerful but important in our lives. If all five blades come together, unlimited power to control the lives not only here in the world of the living but even the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo will be given." Yoruichi explained. Everyone was shocked. Unlimited power to control all that lives! That's just unimaginable!
"However it can only be done in the sacred place where those zanpakto were made and my guess, those arrancars found it. And now as you can imagine, they're after your zanpaktos Karin, Captain Hitsugaya." Urahara continued. Karin and Toshiro looked at each other, knowing how much danger they are in now.
"So our main task is to protect Karin and the captain." Ikkaku asked.
"That but most importantly, make sure that Akakiryū and Hyorinmaru do not fall into the hands of those arrancars. If that happens, we'll be in greater danger than we were during the winter war." Urahara warned. Everyone knew how hard it was to win the war against Aizen and if this was going to be harder. Everyone was just scared.
"But how are we going to stop them! First of all, they are arrancars, possibly espadas and they have three of these blades. We practically are fighting a useless battle!" Rangiku complained.
"We just have to try our best. I've also called the Gotei 13. They should be bringing in some back up right now. We'll just have to protect these two until those arrancar come." Urahara tried to reassure. However, it just didn't work. Everyone was still worried about how much power those blades have, three of them together. They all already couldn't defeat Hyorinmaru and Akakiryū, how are they going to defeat the other three zanpakto. Suddenly, an explosion was heard. Jinta and Ururu rushed into the room with their faces almost white.
"Urahara-san! They're here!" Ururu exclaimed. Urahara lifted his cap.
"This was kind of earlier than I expected. But none the less we have some trash to clean up." Urahara replied. He told Tessai to bring the two kids in. Karin, Toshiro and the rest of the shinigami rose to their feet and shunpoed to the site of the explosion.
There they saw three arrancars. One was tall, tanned and very masculine. He had spiky brown hair, an eyepatch made out of bones. His white jacket was left open to show his muscles, long white and black pants, black shoes and black gloves. His sword was attached to a brown sash around his pants. The other was a petite girl with her long red hair tied up to a ponytail with a spiky bone hairband. She wore a white shirt stopping above her waist and the collar covering half of her face, black shorts and sandals and white netted gloves. Her sword attached horizontal on the back of her shorts. The last one was tall and had flowing blonde hair. He wore a black shirt underneath a long with cape with sleeves reaching his wrists and wore white pants with a black sash around it. He wore black sandals, his sword was attached sideways on his black sash and he wore on his left hand a black glove with a piece of metal on top of it and on the other a glove made out of bone. They were the arrancar who escaped Hueco Mundo.
"Well looks like we didn't have to waste time searching for the two blade holders." The masculine man said. Karin and Toshiro took their battle stance.
"Well then. Like what he said. Let's not waste any more time and take away those Elemental blades." The blonde man replied as he drew out his sword.
How was it? I did this one quite fast since I had the whole day off. I probably won't take such a short time for the other chapters so you guys just have to be patient. If you're curious, Raida means thunder serpent, Kaze no senshi means wind warrior and Chikyū inu means earth dog. Lame right, well cut me some slack I had difficulty getting names for them. Well then thanks for reading and pls review. Bye!
