Chapter 9
Ichigo was not sure about this. He wanted to know but he had promised Ren he would not ask. However he wasn't asking the info was being offered to him. He sat on his bed as the others found places to sit or lean around the room. I'm not sure we should be talking about this I promised I wouldn't push or try to find out" Ichigo said a little nervous and was not sure if he actully wanted to hear what was about to be said.
"You're not asking you are being told whether you want to be or not" Kenpachi rumbled in his deep voice. He like all the captins knew the story Yori was about to tell very well and was not exactly proud about his part in it. He was sure it was at least part of the reason Yori was not being welcomed back to the soul society. None of it was Yori's fault but he was an easy scapegaot. Kenpachi this was not an easy story to tell and he wanted to comfort his lover but a glare from Yori stoped that thought.
"As you know Yumi and I made a living on our backs for a time but he was to make soul reaper before I could by many years. Instead I kept my life though I was offten approached to gather information for the Gotei 13. I basicly became a spy because I can use my ability without the lack of better term target or victum knowing, The weapons don't have to be willing to talk to me to get the information I need. It is just harder on me and takes longer if they are not willing. Yours Ichigo for example as you know is an asshole and at first was not willing to talk but even though he was stuborn and tried to close himself off I found out what I needed to know. About him and you hybred child" Yori smiled at the look on Ichigo's face few people knew he was born of a quincy and a shinigami or that by birth he belonged to the Shipa caln and therefore was noble born it was complicated. "The look on your face is priceless I also know about your hallow self but unlike most I do not fear you. The same can not be said of everyone you don't need my abilities to know that but it helps" Yori smiled softly but it became a look of sadness rather quickly.
Yumi crossed over to his brother putting his hand on his shoulder. "Sometimes Yori finds out more then he should or even things he shouldn't know. More then once he has been threatened with death. Frankly now that I remember more about you and our past I am surprised they allowed to to become a soul reaper brother. But I guess I guess it is smarter for them to keep you under there control so you don't use what you know about the captins or other higher ups" Yumi's gaze was locked on his captin who never even blinked.
Yori smiled patting his brother's hand reasuringly "I once found out something so dangerous someone was killed and that is why Ren hates me. I found out there was a very dangerous man who made Aizen look like a saint was close to the heads of the soul society and more spacificly the captins. This man was not a soul reaper but was strongly connected to them. No one even knew he had a zanpakuto. One day I connected with it this was before the threat of Aizen who I could have helped with but was not allowed to. No this man had intentions to destroy the entire soul society itself. I went to the captins with what I ahd learned but was told they had no need of the words of a whore that was only usefull when they needed information that only I could get. After they rejected my report I tried to ignore what I knew but I couldn't. At the time I had just met Ren don't think about how I met him please. I didn't know REn had ties to the man I knew was dangerous. Ren and his weapon were very hard for me to read they still are to this day. I made the mistake of telling Ren who I thought was my freind what I knew. Next this I knew I had been taen straight to dangerous man. He asked me what I knew at first I refused to tell him but he threatened my brother so I had no choice but to tell him. He was angry Ren was too by this time I knew they were lovers but I also Knew Ren did not share the want for destruction." Yori was quiet for a long time. "I don't to this day fully understand was happened next. One moment I was being attacked by both of them the next I felt insane pressure and a presence I did not know and the cave we were in had started to collapse. Only Ren and I made it out alive. After that Ren dissapeared and I went to report what had happened. By that time the caotins had figured out I was right and praised me for seeing to the threat but warned and reminded me not to do it again that is was not my place. They all liked to make sure I knew exactly what I was and what I was worth. Some including Ren wanted me arrested for murder but I was cleared of all wrong doing and allowed to return to my home. It took me many more years for me to gain my place amoung the squads" Yori took a breath seeing the anger and sarrow in Ichigo's eyes. "He loves you Ichigo and while he blames me for what happened his feeling are very real where you are concerned" Yori was finished for now he wanted to let the information settle in Ichigo's mind before telling him anything else.
Ichigo was stunned "so he was going to help someone destroy an entire civilization and way of life wiping it out completely." He loved Ren but this did make an odd sort of sence. "Can I be alone guys" he asked. The others nodded leaving the house threw the window they all knew the orange haired young man needed to think.
Ren moved threw the streets, he saw the 4 reapers leaving Ichigo's house and frowned they were clearly going on patrol but Ichigo did not leave with them. He rang the door bell being let in by Ichigo's sister. He made his way up to Ichigo's room. "Hey love" Ren was all smiles but that faded quickly. "Ichigo what is it" Ren asked.
Ichigo was very quiet looking at his boyfriend. Then slowly he began to speak.
"Did you really try to destroy the soul socitey. Do you blame Yori for someone dieing."
