Disclaimer: Do not own bleach and blah blah blah you all know the drill

A/n Ok last chapter I got to say I was disappointed by the date scene so I plan to aleast start the story over from their so please enjoy The date remake then the chapter thank you.

Chapter 8 1/2: The Date

Both Soifon and Thanaos left the first squad and decided to take a walk around soul soceity they sumbled on a small area their were alot of couples in the area and,
Thanaos decided too take her hand in his she tensed up a bit but slowly relaxed and gave him a slight squeeze the first thing Soifon noticed was that her hand fit so well into his. She could feel the toughness of his hand from the years of fighting and,
training she thought it felf nice. Meanwhile Thanaos thought how such a small hand could also be so strong and, deadly. They walk around and they began to notice all eyes were on them Soifon not used to the attention lowered her head and, blushed Thanaos on the other hand was well used to the people staring at him he knew that dark forest green hair wasen't any where near exotic as some other hair colors but when your two shinigami and, not any shinigami but head of the Fon family and, the Forest Demon you tend to draw alot of unwanted attention.

"Soifon just don't mind them."

"But I'm an assassin I'm not use to all the attention."

"Soifon just pay them no mind just focus on me and, you."

She blushed and, smiled at Thanaos. They contuined on with their walk after a while they stumbled on a small tea shop they entered and saw it was just them and two other people. Soifon and, Thanaos took a seat at a table she took off her haori and sat down Thanaos removed Zaibatsu and placed him by Suzumebachi they order some tea and, some crackers to aleast snack on over the corse of waiting for the tea to arrive and drinking they talk about the past, Thanaos's welcoming party, (with Thanaos leaving out some parts.)
and anything else they could think of and when they were done they noticed it was dark out already so they decided to walk for a little while more then return they found a small lake a little way aways from the tea shop they thought it was very nice and calm.

"I could get use to this."

"What coming here?"

"No, dating you its nice."

Soifon was quite and, thankful that it was dark so he couldn't see her blush.

"Y-y-yeah I could t-too."

They both just stayed quite and, enjoyed each others company. They noticed soon that cherry blossoms were covering the small lake which was very odd for this time of year.

"Cherry blossoms?"

"This is very odd."

-Else where-

"I told you it wouldn't be right to have me use Senbozakura to make the affect of cherry blossoms blowing in the wind."

"Oh please Byakuya it was worth a shot."

"Shunsei shouldn't we head back before them to get the party ready."

"Right Jushiro, Byakuya keep up the effect then meet us at squad two before they go ok."

"Fine."

Shunsei and, Jushiro left leaving Byakuya alone to keep Soifon and, Thanaos busy.

-Back with Soifon and Thanaos-

Thanaos and, Soifon were busy staring at the scene before them as the petals dancing in moon light with such grace and, beauty.

"This was truely a wonderful date, Soifon."

"It was, Thanaos."

Thanaos bent down to give her a kiss on her cheek and Soifon tried to give him a kiss back but couldn't reach, Thanaos chuckled lightly at that and bent down again for she could reach she kissed him and blushed.

"Thank you Thanaos."

"For what."

"For everything you showed me kindness and, you really love me and, I'm not afraid to admit it either I love you Thanaos."

He kissed her on the lips this time and, smiled down at her.

"Lets head back."

"Yeah."

They walked back hand-in-hand and enjoyed the time together until they got back too the barracks. Every Captain and, Lieutenant and a few seated officer were in their squad barracks party for what niether of them knew.

"Um what the hell are you all doing here?"

"Ahh the Coup- Arrgh."

"Shut it Shunsei. Please don't mind him he's just drunk."

"Ok then I'm going too bed so everyone leave." Soifon said with slight annoyance in her tone.

"Oh please Soifon we have a reason for us to party here and its for you two." Shunsei said.

"What reason?" Thanaos asked not liking the way the converstaion was going.

Almost instantly everyone in the room had smirk or grin on their faces. Soifon and Thanaos tensed up at that then they noticed the banner hanging above the group it read.
'Congratulations Soifon and Thanaos.' They both paled as they slowly came to an understanding Shunsei and Jushiro came over to the shock couple they both patted their back.

"Congrats you two."

"Yes congratulations on becoming a couple."

This snaped Thanaos out of his trance.

"W-w-what do you mean."

"Oh well we thought we should hold this party for you two becoming a couple."

Chapter 9: The Secrets out

Thanaos and Soifon both held a shock expression as Shusei said why they were here.

"Umm, what makes you think we're a couple." Soifon was hurt as she said that.

Thanaos also had a look of hurt as she said that. Both knew it wasen't wasy to say that but for appearence sake they had too aleast for now.

"Ohh not be like that Soifon. We saw you both at the tea shop." Shunsei said.

"Wait, the two people at the shop."

Shunsei and, Jushiro both smiled at that. Soifon was now furious they spied on Her and her Thanaos's time together but was more mad about the fact that they were distirbing their time together right now as well.

"I'll tell you what you all leave now and, I won't make you regret spying on us."

"Oh so you are not denine the fact you two are dating are you?"

"I don't belive that is any of your bussiness is it Captain Shunsei."

Soifon was shock at Thanaos's reponse but, also flattered at the gesture. Shunsei sighed and left with Jushiro soon behind but, they still wished the two of them a happy time together.
Soifon breath a sigh of relief and was thankful that he was there to help her.

-A few hours later-

Everyone gradually left the second squad which Soifon and Thanaos was thankful for true they both talked and mingled with everyone but all they wanted too do was sleep now.

"Well Soifon good night and I love you." He said with a smile.

Thanaos began to walk away till he felt a tug on his shirt. It was Soifon looking down to avoid Thanaos seeing her blush she was nervous about asking this.

"Y-y-y-y-y-you k-k-k-know y-y-y-you c-ca-can s-s-sleep i-in m-m-my r-r-room if y-y-y-you w-w-want."

It was Thanaos's turn to blush at her boldness.

"S-s-s-sure."

Soifon took Thanaos's hand in hers and lead him down the hallway to her room. They both entered the room both were still a little nervous of the idea of sleeping together.

"You sure Soifon?"

"Yes."

Thanaos took off Zaibatsu and out him against the bed for an easy reach Soifon soon did the same. Thanaos as the first to get into the bed Soifon followed suit and laid her down on his shoulder.

'I must admit he does make one hell of a pillow.' Soifon thought.

"Good night Soifon." He leaned down and kissed her fore head.

"Good night Thanaos." She kissed him back.

They both fell into a relaxing sleep in each others grasp.

-The next morning-

Thanaos was the first to wake up it was about five minutes till they normally wake up.
He looked next to him to see Soifon smiling in her sleep he also smiled at her. It was however that moment the alarm clock decided to go off.

'Piece of shit.' Thanaos thought at the clock.

Soifon was waking up now but Thanaos didn't notice her awake yet. He slaped his hand over the snooze button to make the horrided ringing stop blaring.

"Easy Thanaos I only have one alarm clock."

Thanaos looked down to she her smiling at him and couldn't help but smile back.

"Yeah sorry, Hey you mind if I use your shower Soifon?"

"Not really, but it would be odd if people heard my shower run twice or if it was running for a long time so we might have too share a quick one then."

She look up to see Thanaos's reaction.

"Is that ok with you Thanaos?"

Thanaos had a blush on his face and was slightly nervous.

"Y-y-y-yeah lets g-g-go."

They both got undressed and entered the shower together. It was a little nerve racking at first but the two slowly grew more relaxed under each others gaze.

"Hey Soifon do you mind if I wash your back?"

"Hmm no go ahead."

Thanaos took a wash cloth in his hands and asked Soifon to sit down so he could wash her. He gently washed her with her favorite soap and smiled a little as he did it he could also see Soifon was also enjoying having him wash her body finshed washing her and asked if she could do his back now which she happily agreed to. She soon finshed and both got into the tub for a quick dip, Thanaos got in first and let the hot water ease his tired muscles Soifon soon got in and, Sat right infront of Thanaos relaxing against his back.
Soifon sighed as she laid her body up against and let her head fall between the nook of his neck she also noticed his smile and, couldn't help but smile also. Soifon was the first to get out as she was drying herself off.

"Oh you can stay in there for a little bit longer I'll get started in drilling the troops."

"Ok then Soifon I'll be out soon." He eased back into the tub to relax for a couple more minutes.

Soifon however decided to play a trick on Thanaos she took his uniform but left Zaibatsu.
Thanaos was begining to get out a dry himself he look around the room to see Soifon left.

"You know Zaibatsu I really am happy I'm together with Soifon."

'Thats nice Thanaos someone like you really deserves it but, it seem Soifon has taken your advice to heart.'

"What do you mean?"

'Notice anything missing. Something rather important.'

Thanaos thought about it and look around he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Zaibatsu sighed at how stupid Thanaos can be.

'Your uniform you idiot it gone.'

Thanaos looked around again and was shocked.

"Oh your right." Thanaos laughed for a bit.

Zaibatsu decided to not say what was on his mind at the moment.

'Tell me Thanaos how are you going to get back to your room your not going out butt naked again are you.' He thought back to Thanaos's first few days in the academy.

"Don't Worry Zaibatsu see I got myself a towel. I can walk back."

'Fine then go before anyone can see you.'

Thanaos quicky tried to wrap his towel around him to notice it was a little small and wouldn't cover him fully. He then thought that this is Soifon's room and since she was almost half his size of course she wouldn't have bigger towels Thanaos mentally sighed and held his towel in one hand and Zaibatsu in the other. He made a quick sprint to his room but not before making sure anyone wouldn't see him. he was running and almost to his room until.

"Hey recruit!"

"Shit." Thanaos said.

"Recruit come out and face me now." Omaeda said.

Thanaos was debating if he should use kido or just use shunpo to kick his ass.

"Recruit get out here now."

Thanaos look at behind the corner to see him now we mostly female shinigami.

'Fuck me.' Thanaos thought to himself.

"Now recruit!" Omaeda shouted.

"Fine you fat piece of shit I'll fight you."

Thanaos came out behind the corner in nothing but his otwel and Zaibatsu needless to say it had effect instantly. The female shinigami couldn't take their eyes off him they thought with one good blow of wind his towel would come flying off.

"What the hell are you wearing?" Omaeda asked angry and confused at the same time.

"I was busy last night and didn't grab anything to wear this morning now lets fight because I want to change and get everything done so I can relax."

"Thats it. Ladies get him." Omaeda shouted but no one moved.

"Hey what are you all doing attack him!" He shouted

"Cry, Zaibatsu"

Omaeda gulp as he saw Thanaos with his shikai released and looking slightly pissed. It was over before anyone could see what happen Omaeda was out could and Thanaos was resealing his Zanpaktou.

"Thanaos whats wrong. I felt you release Zaibatsu what happen."

"Look around Soifon."

Soifon did that and nearly pop a blood vessel she saw Omaeda face down in the dirt. She also saw how the female shinigami were eye humping HER Thanaos she sent out a pulse of reiatsu to get there attention.

"All of you leave NOW!" She said with venom dripping from her last word.

Everyone but Thanaos fled the area as if their ass was on fire. Soifon turned towards him with hate in her eyes.

"What the hell were you thinking walking around like that!" she shouted

"Well if SOMEONE didn't take my clothes this wouldn't have happen."

"Don't blame me you god dame fool, you have no right to be angry at me!"

"Oh , really I thought I did you have no right to complain becasue you took my clothes from me and knew I have to go back to my room but you now think you have the right to be mad at me your sadly mistaken."

"Just shut up you idiot get out of here I don't want to see you now get the fuck out of my face!" She yelled at him.

Thanaos's hair covered his eyes so she couldn't see the hurt see was casuing him he did a slightbow and left to his room. He came out a few minutes later fully clothed and shunpo awayed somewhere. As he was shunpoing away he caught a sight of Soifon and he narrowed his eyes at her. As he was shunpoing he noticed something a rip in the sky followed by espada class reiatsu it open and the one man everyone knew step out followed by a small army of Arrancar this man took one look at Thanaos.

"Hello shinigami."

"Gin Ichimaru." Thanaos spat.

"Lord Ichimaru, they come."

Just as Thanaos turned around he saw that all Lieutenant and Captain class shinigami have arrived to fight each one with a look of hate in their eyes. Thanaos saw Soifon but didn't pay attention to her all that mattered was surviving the fight before him and everyone. A hooded arrancar step foreward and look left to right then back again before he removed it casuing the eyes of everyone to widen and narrow again in hate before them stood a man about 6'3 with blood red hair and souless grey eyes he had a smirk on his face as he look around again.

"My, my Soul society hasen't changes one bit since I left." The man smirk again.

"Hawk, I see you still alive." Said Yamamoto.

"Oh yes, Head Captain very much so I must add."

At this point and time Thanaos was shaking in anger at the man before him he was the one who caused him pain and took away his best friend he wouldn't let him live after this he had a chance to kill him and he was going for it.

"CRY! ZAUBATSU!" Thanaos shouted.

He charged at Hawk the intent to kill him clear. Everyone of the shinigami was shock to say the least they thought he would of had a clear head about this but they didn't know of his past.

"Thanaos!" Jushiro shouted

"Lieutenant Kaizaki!" Shouted the Head Captain.

Everyone also said something along those lines but, Thanaos was too far gone all he knew was he was going to kill the man before him. He threw a punch at Hawk who was just able to hold him back barely Hawk could feel the bone in his arm shatter like glass under the pressure of Thanaos's attack but he didn't stop he kept up his assualt he kept at it until Hawk grabbed his zanpaktou and block attack after attack until he release his resurreccion.

"Dive,Halcon" (a/n means dive hawk)

He took the form of a giant grey and red hawk and one attack sent Thanaos flying down to the ground in a huge crator.

"BANKAI!" Thanaos shouted from the crator.

A pulse of Reiatsu hit everyone but Ichigo and, Soifon knew something was wrong his power felt darker, evil almost. The smoke cleared and it wasen't the same bankai Soifon and Ichigo saw He lost the giant ring on his back and had had now shoulder pads and the spine now had spikes growing from the back he also had a tail flowing wildly behind himhis hair also grew longer in almost like a mane of dark forest green the color wasen't blue either it was back to red but it was glowing more brightly then in his shikai he stood up and look up his eyes still covered by his hair.

"Akuma Zaibatsu(1)"

Thanaos leapt up and stood face to face with Hawk in the next instant Hawk was sent flying from a hit from Thanaos's tail and it only got worse from there. It wasen't until he held Hawk by his neck charging his range attack which now had red lightining instead of the normal blue that two more arrancar had ceros pointed at him another hooded one that he suspected was a women held a purple cero in her mouth and the other a thin sickly man held a sort of bluesih red cero in his left palm. They blasted him from point blank range and threw the smoke a figure was falling the smoke still covering his body while the hooded women and the sick man held Hawk he had become unconscious under Thanaos's attacks.

"Lord Ichimaru we must retreat for now." said the sickly man.

"Do you agree as well." He look to the hooded women and got a nod.

"We leave for now but we will be back you can be sure of that Bye, bye."

Gin and the Arrancar all left before they could even fight Thanaos's reiatsu was back to normal but he was missing his left arm and had some serve burns across his chest and side.
Captain Unohana and Lieutenant Isane were healing Thanaos the best they could for now they figured that when Orihime came in a few days she could give him back his arm and heal his burns so they were just trying to keep him stable.

"Captain Unohana how is he?" Asked Yamamoto.

"He is fine Head Captain but what I don't understand is why he would just attack like that."

"Yes very odd."

They were so busy talking they didn't notice Thanaos stand up.

"Captain!" Shouted Isane.

They both turned around to see Thanaos limping towards where Hawk was. Jushiro and Shunsei both stood infront of him to stop him he collaspe into them and fell into his own state of Unconsciousness.

-Three days later-

Orihime was asked to come back to Soul soceity she came on saturday after a quick meeting with Ulquiorra and Ichigo she left to squad four to see about helping.

"Umm excuse me Captian Unohana?"

"Oh yes Orihime right this way there wasen't many injured in the last fight but one was injured badly here he is."

She turned to see the injured form of Thanaos bandaged up and hooked up to a few machines to moniter his vital sighs.

"Any time your ready Orihime."

"Right Soten Kisshun I reject."

She began to heal Thanaos and Unohana could do nothing but marval at how she could return Thanaos's arm after it was blasted off from a point blank cero. After a few more mintues she was done and Thanaos was begining to regain consciousness.

"Where am I?" Thanaos asked weekly.

"The squad four barracks Mr Kaizaki you really must thank Orihime here for healing you."

He looked at Orihime and smiled at her.

"Thank you Miss Orihime for healing me."

"Oh no problem um whats your name?"

"Oh right I'm the new lieutenant of the second squad Thanaos Kaizaki. Its a pleasure to meet you Ulquiorra speaks of you very often."

"H-h-he does?"

"Yes he does."

"Oh alright if you can excuse me good day Captain Unohana." Orihime quickly ran out of the door.

"That was very kind of you."

He just smiled and got up. He looked around and grabbed his uniform after a few more minutes he came out in his uniform which had now shelves and a hood but the most noticeable feature was the fact he exchanged the white of his uniform with red he also had it motifed to have a hood on it, he put Zaibatsu on his waist and was about to leave when he felt Captain Unohana grab his shoulder.

"Mr Kaizaki please go to squad twleve right now." She said with slight concern in her voice.

He nodded and left for the twelve squad when he was about to enter he saw Nemu the twleve squad lieutenant standing there waiting for him.

"Umm hello Lieutenant Nemu do you need something?"

She didn't say anything just walked inside the squad and Thanaos's followed. He came to a huge room with a big organ type machine at the far side as he was walking he saw a few Captains were here also namely Captain Jushiro, Shunsei, Unohana, Mayuri, Byakuya, Hisagi,
Ichigo, Isshin and, Yamamoto.

"Lieutenant Kaizaki do you know why you are here or te reason there are this many Captains here as well?" Asked Yamamoto

"No sir, I have no idea why I am here or you all as well."

Jushiro step foreward.

"Its becasue during the last fight you released your bankai but Captain Kurosaki says that your bankai's name was Tenrai Zaibatsu not Akuma Zaibatsu."

Ichigo step foreward next.

"Yeah Thanaos during your training when you released your bankai you said its name was Tenrai Zaibatsu any idea what casued it to change?"

"With all do respect Captains my bankai's name is Tenrai Zaibatsu."

Yamamoto step foreward next.

"Lieutenant Kaizaki, during your fight against the traitor Hawk-"

At the mention of Hawk's name his reiatsu flared darkly for a moment.

"Like that."

Thanaos sighed.

"Alright, I tell you all its link to my past."

-One long flashback later-

"And thats it."

"Wow that is a tough past son." Said Isshin

"Yes and the problem is on Aizen's head for what he did during his experments during that time."

"Any way Captains what is it you need to do?"

Mayuri step foreward with his 'normal' grin on his face.

"Its simple really we are going to study you by running some test."

"Ok then I'll gladly do the test."

"Wonderful."

-One week later-

Thanaos had just finshed his latest test which was running ten miles in one hour no shunpo.
Over the week he didn't return to the second squad and people knew from ten miles away not to piss off Soifon she had a funk about her since Gin and his Arrancar showed up its was also what she told any one that asked before they got their ass kicked. Thanaos had been doing test for most of the and when he finshed he was able to enjoy the company of some of his friends he enjoy that now he was on his way to a tea ceremony at Byakuya's mansion.

-Byakuya's mansion-

"Umm excuse me I'm here for the Tea ceremony."

"Ah yes please follow me." Said a guard

Thanaos followed the guard for a while he open the door and Thanaos walked in he was met with Byakuya, Yamamoto, Unohana, and Chojiro all enjoying tea he went in and sat by Chojiro he gave him a smile and he smiled back.

"So tell me Thanaos what do you think of the tea ceremony club."

"It is very good Captain."

"Yes it is, and Thank you Thanaos."

-Later that night-

All was quite a few shinigami partying nothing more until the 12th squad barracks exploded and in the night sky flew a lone figure with his head and face covered the figure flew the night sky some shinigami tried to stop him the figure did a few quick hand-to-hand combat moves and shunpo'd away he was reaching the end of the Seireitei he was almost there until.

"Halt."

The figure turned around and eyes widen slightly standing before him was Soifon zanpaktou drawn and ready to fight.

'Shit why now.' The figure thought.

"Remove your mask and hood now and drop your zanpaktou now!"

His hand went up to his hood and mask and removed it to say Soifon was shock was an understatement.

"Thanaos." She said softly.

A shocking development in the story what is Thanaos doing is Soifon and Thanaos's newly began relationship or is it all for not also next chapter marks the end of the first arc next time on lighting the darkness of the bee 'The first arc ends. Thanaos Kaizaki betrayal to the Seireitei?' tune in next time.

(1) Akuma Zaibatsu is something that will be more explain in the second arc so please wait
