It was around mid-night in downtown Kyoto. Four men in grey robes, three of Japanese descent and one European were stationed at different points outside of an abandoned warehouse belonging to a majikku-yakuza clan. These men were enforcers for the Mahou-Shogunate. Leading them was Captain Kenzou Hibiki, age thirty three, a man who adorned a scar across the bridge of his nose from a nasty cutting hex. He is a strategy specialist in charge of his first assignment as an infiltrator. To his right was Otoshi Hideo, age twenty five, a camoflauge specialist who happens to be a metamorphagus by British standards. Otoshi earned his place on the team because he has never before been recognized by any target he's investigated. To his left was Nezumi Saito, age twenty seven, a spy who looked exactly like his rat-faced namesake. He gathered information on the warehouse prior to the operation at hand. The last member and only European was Black Sirius, or Sirius Black by British Standards, also age twenty seven.
Captain Kenzou cleared his throat to gain the attention of his team. "Alright everyone we can't screw this one up. We didn't spend three weeks investigating this operation just to blow it due to rookie errors. That especially goes for you Enforcer Black since you're the newest to our squad."
"Hai Captain Kenzou." Sirius was thankful his smirk was hidden. After weeks of intensive study, and training in Japanese wizard customs he was ready for good old-fashioned dark wizard catching.
"Alright eveyone, we've only got one shot at this, so don't hesitate to throw a few lethal spells if shit hits the fan. We are dealing with trained criminals who wont hesitate to do the same to us. That doesn't mean you should get blood thirsty. If you can, detain your targets so we can interrogate them later. Don't bother with stunners they will just revive later. Assume infiltration formation."
The enforcers readied themselves. Sirius took the position closest to the entry point, it was his job to cover his team during the entry and supply the suppresive spells for the eventual firefight once his captain gave him the order via a telepathy spell.
The captain raised his non-wand hand in the air. The remainder of the team tensed in anticipation. "Prepare for battle...GO GO GO" Sirius used 'alohamora' on the door allowing his team, and captain access to the warehouse.
Once inside the warehouse Kenzou took point and silently counted how many MY-clan members there were. He turned around ready to signal to Otoshi, and Nezumi only to see Otoshi slumped on the ground unconscious, and Nezumi's wand pointed directly at him. Kenzou was struck by a stunner and completely missed the triumphant look on his traitorous subordinates face.
Nezumi quickly bound his teamates with an 'incarcerous' spell. "That was easy. That incompetent European should be dealt with by now." Nezumi levitated his former comrades as he slowly approached the center of the warehouse where a man in a white yakuta was standing surrounded by men in black yakutas, all of them had wicked grins on their faces.
Outside the warehouse two thug-like men, one the size of a bear, the other was short and stocky were searching for the missing European. One of the men started using blasting curses on nearby vehicles, and appliances. "Where the Hell is that Gaijin, hiding like a freakin rat?"
The shorter man sighed in exasperation. "What in Kami's name makes you think he's gonna come out now that your blastin shit all over the pl..." A large, shaggy black dog bit down on his ankle and dragged him away behind an upturned car before he could finish his sentence.
The bear-like thug screamed. "AAAAHHHHHh, what the Fuck man?" He began blasting at the car until only a few pieces of shrapnel, and the other thug's unconscious form remained. Seeing no dog, the Bear-like thug prepared another round of blasting curses only to notice his wand was missing, then he found himself suspended upside-down in mid-air.
"levicorpus, silent and deadly." Sirius smirked as he twirled the thug's wand in his left hand, while using his own wand to keep the man in the air.
"How did you get my wand?"
"Oh this." pocketing his own wand first, Sirius snapped the thug's wand over his knee-cap. His lack of concentration on his spell caused the thug to drop on the ground. "I snuck up behind you while you were blasting away at that car. Oh and don't worry about your wand being broken, you wont be needing it behind bars." Sirius cast a quick 'petrificus totalus' on the man before levitating him next to the other thug. "I suppose it's a good thing these MY's didn't get an accurate assessment of my skill, or they would've left two pros instead of goons to deal with me. It's quite obvious they knew we were comming, the question is 'how am I going to get in there and rescue my teammates?'"
Inside the warehouse a ring of MY-clan members were surrounding the bound and unconscious forms of Kenzou Hibiki and Otoshi Hideo. The leader who wore the only white yakuta, snarled at the unconscious men from behind the ring. He gestured to the two men closest to him. "Why don't you two 'wake up' our guests."
The two nondescript clan members grinned savagely as they pointed their wands at Kenzou and Otoshi.
"Sainamu." The clan members said in unison, causing the captured enforcers to wake up violently and scream till their throats were raw as the japanese torture curse tore through their bodies.
The leader smirked as he looked his captives in the eye. "You enforcers think your so clever. You think that having one of your own snoop around my base of operations like a rat, gathering information wouldn't get my attention? Did you honestly think your little 'spy' wouldn't get caught? I've been in this 'game' for over fifteen years. In all that time you begin to pick up a few tricks. Catching rats is one of them. Convincing your first captured rat to place a piece of cheese in a maze to capture the remaining rats is another trick I picked up."
Nezumi smirked at his former comrades.
"Speaking of which." The leader withdrew his wand and aimed it at Nezumi's chest.
Nezumi was no longer smirking. "Pppplease Boss ddddon't kill me."
The MY-leader ignored Nezumi's plea. "Aoao Korosu." Nezumi was struck by a blinding green light. His face was etched in horror as his body slumped to the ground motionless, never to rise again. "Can't have the Shogunate investigating that rat's job history with my organization, now can we? Speaking of which I should probably just dispose of you two now."
The Leader was about to aim his wand at Otoshi when he heard a loud whistling noise as a black tennis ball-like object hit the ground at his feet. He didn't have much time to contemplate what the object was before it exploded into a large cloud of what appeared to be pure darkness, obscuring the vision of everyone in the room. Nothing could be seen whether it was the scurrying of MY-clan members, or the volley of spells being flung in every direction.
For what seemed like hours the MY-clan members tried getting rid of the offending darkness with a blinding array of spells, eventually they succeeded only to find that the captured enforcers were no longer bound and writhing, they were gone. The leader growled at his subordinates. "If it weren't for your incom..."
"CEASE AND DECIST WE HAVE THE PLACE SURROUNDED." As soon as the magically amplified voice was heard, a dozen enforcers stormed the warehouse. The MY-clan members, including the leader were forced to lay their wands down and assume a kneeling position.
"Enforcer Black if you hadn't come with the reinforcements when you did we would be as dead as that traitorous rat. Oh and nice trick with that screeching darkness bomb." Kenzou clapped Sirius on the back, wincing afterwards due to the pain of the torture curse.
Sirius sighed. "If I had been able to do more, then you guys would not have had to endure that wretched curse."
Otoshi's hair turned red as he punched Sirius in the jaw. "Be quiet you idiot, you did what you can and got us out of there alive. If anyone should be sulking it's captain Kenzou and I. We Were the ones who got caught in the first place."
Kenzou nodded in agreement. "Otoshi's right, you did enough. Because of your quick response not only was the mission a success, we also get to live another day."
Sirius brightened up a bit. "I guess, but I can't help feeling like I could've done more."
Kenzou sighed in exasperation. "Fine be that way. After Otoshi and I get patched up, were hitting the local sake' stands, you can come if you want."
Sirius had a thoughtful look on his face. "No you guys can go ahead, I'm going to give my statement and meet up with somebody who might be able to help me with my problem."
After Sirius gave his statement to the other enforcers he quickly apparated to the Urahara Shoten. "Last I heard from Isshin, Takemaru was still here." Sirius said to himself as he entered the store. he was quickly greeted by Tessai and Ururu, while Jinta demanded he buy some candy.
"Is Takemaru still around here?"
Tessai nodded and opened up the 'secret' trap-door that led to the underground training facility.
Sirius pointed his wand at his mid-section. "Aresto Momentum". After casting his spell Sirius jumped down and descended towards the ground at a slight hovering pace.
Takemaru sat in a meditative position on-top of a small, rocky plateau when he noticed Sirius slowly descending towards him. When Sirius landed Takemaru stood up, wincing as he clutched his chest with his right hand. "Good to see you Sirius, I assume you have some questions for me?"
Sirius took into account that Takemaru was still injured, if the bandages on his mid-section were any indication. "I should probably come back at a later time."
Takemaru sat down, his hand still covering his injury. "Nonsense, I will just answer your questions from a sitting position."
Sirius sat down in-front of Takemaru. "I came here hoping you would know a way for me to become stronger."
"I figured you would seek me out for this very reason. In fact I do know a way for you to become stronger. It will require an investment of time on your part."
Sirius had a determined look in his eyes. "I will do whatever it takes. What training method do you have in mind."
Takemaru grinned. "What I have in mind is no training method. The reason I said it will require an investment of time, is because you will be studying from a spell book."
Sirius had a look of disbelief. "A spell book."
"Not just any spell book, The spell book. Or more accurately 'The Grimoire De Arcana', it's a book containing all of the spells I have catalogued over the course of my Shinigami career to present."
The expression on Sirius's face was one of complete shock. "I've only heard legends of such a book. You mean to tell me that you not only created it, but you are actually allowing me read from it."
Takemaru nodded with an expression of up-most seriousness on his face. "Reflecting on the events of Harry's last training session, if you can even call it that...Have forced my hand. It is obvious that Voldemort will stop at nothing to return to form, and power. When he does he will not only come after Harry, he will also target those close to him. I need you to be prepared to face some of the darkest magic in existence. The Grimoire will have all known spells listed within it's pages."
Sirius could honestly say he was overwhelmed. "How in Merlin's name could you possibly expect me to memorize all the information in such a book?"
Takemaru raised an eyebrow. "When did I say you should memorize it? Besides I highly doubt you could, even I don't know all of the spells in the Grimoire, and I created it. In-fact it is impossible to know all the spells in that book due to the way it assimilates the spells contained within it. They only way you could come close to knowing all of the spells in it would be to connect your mind to the enchantment that assimilates the magical ink used to write in the books it pools information from. If anyone tried to connect their mind to the Grimiore they would doubtlessly go insane. However that's neither here nor there."
"So the Grimiore works like a copy charm, except it never stops copying, and it's connected to the magic used in the ink of every magical tome throughout the history of the written word.?" Sirius asked curiously. "Isn't that technically plagiarism?" Sirius sweatdropped at his thought.
Takemaru rolled his eyes. "What exactly was the point of him simplifying what I said if there's no-one else around to hear him say it?" Takemaru then looked up towards the sky-painted ceiling, and cupped his hands around his mouth. "YORUICHI" he bellowed.
Sirius had a confused look on his face wondering what going to happen next. His answer came in the form of a black dot falling from the artificial sky, heading straight down towards him. "This is going to hurt isn't it?" he asked weakly.
Takemaru nodded just before the 'black dot' crash landed on Sirius's back pressing him into the ground.
"What the hell was that? It felt like I just got hit over the head with a flower pot."
"That was me." A mysterious masculine voice replied.
Sirius stood and looked around for the source of the voice. All he could see before him were Takemaru, the rocky landscape of the training facility, and a small black cat. "It was you wasn't it?" Sirius said as he pointed to the cat.
"Not many people figure me out that quickly, I'm impressed. In-fact can you handle 'this'?" The cat said before a white glow appeared in it's eyes, and white vapor pooled around it's body like a heavy fog.
Takemaru quickly tore a piece of bandage off of his midsection and stuffed it up his nose. "Yep she's gonna do it. At least this time I won't pass out from blood loss."
When the vapor cleared. In place of the 'masculine' black cat was a dark-skinned woman. Her body was thin and had an athletic build to it. the way she arched her back accentuated her 'very' visible curves. Her purple hair reached past the small of her back, and the look in her mischievous yellow eyes would disarm any male in her immediate proximity. However the most striking feature about her was the fact that she was completely nude.
"Bluh buh bah." Sirius struggled to voice his surprise, but his words were cut of by a torrent of blood trailing from his nose just before he fell to the ground unconscious.
Takemaru turned his face away trying to hide his blush, and blood stained nose plug. "I should have known you would do that Yoruichi."
Youruichi had the grin of a Cheshire cat, and made pawing gestures with her hands. "I love the reactions I get whenever I reveal my true form." Her voice was no-longer masculine.
"Wha...What happened?" Sirius awoke from his unconscious state completely bewildered.
Takemaru raised an eyebrow. "You fell prey to Yoruichi's true form, like many before you." "Myself included" Takemaru thought as he discretely stashed his bloodied bandage, and withdrew a simple shihakusho from the 'stretchy' pocket of his haori, and threw it to Yoruichi.
Yoruichi dressed herself quickly. "I assume you called me here for the Grimoire."
Takemaru nodded. "Yes I did. I want you to give it to Sirius."
Yoruichi held her right hand out and gestured as if she were going to rip something.
Sirius had a confused look on his face. "What is she doing."
"Getting your book." Yoruichi replied as she 'ripped' the empty space in-front of her and created a black void. Then a small black journal-like object fell out of the void and into her hands.
"Catch." Yoruichi casually tossed the little book to Sirius. "I'll be prowling around if you need me." She said winking at Sirius before disappearing in a bright yellow flash.
"What just happened?" Sirius said with a foolish grin on his face.
"She used a unique flash-step to illustrate a point."
"What point would that be." Sirius asked as he came back to his senses.
Takemaru smirked. "That she's unequalled in terms of speed. It's why I had her look after the Grimoire. About every century or two I change security measures to protect it. Yoruichi was the former 2nd squad captain, and Head of the secret mobile corps. If anyone can outrun those who pursue the Grimoire, it's her."
"Wow." Sirius said with a look of admiration. as he thought of the cat woman. "That woman is one surprise after another."
Takemaru chuckled. "You don't know the half of it."
"But still, how am I going to use this to get stronger, and how do I even get it open?" Sirius said as tried to pry the cover loose.
"As for how it make you stronger, it will offer you the greatest advantage magic has over reiatsu."
Sirius stared blankly. "What would that be be?"
"While beings with reishi are more powerful, it is only because those beings are made of the very energy they manipulate and can store more energy than wizards. Magic on the other hand is more versatile. What a wizard lacks in power, they make up for in having a more varied arsenal. Think of the Grimoire as one of your text-books, except it has a whole lot more spells inside of it. As for how to open it, think about how you read a book."
Sirius sighed. "A riddle great."
Takemaru chuckled. "I placed many security measures on that book, and not just me. The wizard who helped me create it placed security measures of his own. The riddle helps you unlock it. Just don't give it away to anyone."
"Wait you had help from a wizard. If that's the case then that explains why your portkey pens can run on reishi and magic"
Takemaru smirked. "I was waiting for someone to figure it out. You are correct, I cannot actually cast any spells involving magic. I usually have a wizard help me out whenever I make an invention that uses magic. Now Urahara will be down shortly to discuss Harry's future training regimen with you. I have business to attend to." Takemaru opened up a garganta and disappeared through it leaving Sirius to ponder how to open the grimoire.
"Ah Sirius-san It's a pleasure seeing you again." Said a man wearing a green cloak-like haori and a striped bucket hat, who happened to be right behind Sirius.
"Wahhh." Sirius nearly fell over in surprise. "I just got back from a raid on the Majikku-Yakuza, I'm still on edge. Don't surprise me like that."
Urahara held a fan in-front of his face. "I only did so in jest." Urahara's snapped his fan shut and gave Sirius a leveled stare. "However jestery aside, our conversation will be one of great importance to you."
"How so?" Sirius questioned.
"As you know, Harry will be training with me, and occasionally Takemaru to control his spiritual abilities. You on the other hand are more than welcome to join in the training sessions if you would like to. Harry also needs to learn how to defend himself from opponents who can use magic."
Sirius narrowed his eyes. "You mean how to defend himself from disgusting creatures like Voldemort...Alright count me in."
Urahara eyes looked like upside down 'u's, and his tone changed back to it's exaggerated, jovial state. He was also mock pawing at the air. "Very good to hear Sirius-san. Now tell me about your meeting with Yoruichi-chan."
Sirius sighed dejectedly. "No-body's going to let me live that down. On the plus side, Yoruichi has a killer rack." Sirius quickly wiped away the blood from his nose and began to discuss Harry's future training regimen with the loony shopkeeper.
"Dammit is there anything we can do about those damn vending machines?" a man who appeared to be in his late twenties or early thirties screamed in frustration as he pounded his fists down on his desk. His facial features were of Japanese descent. The only contesting trait would be the fact his hair was silvery gray.
"Those ecchi bastards are determined to profit off of the devious nature of our countrymen." The man was furiously grabbing his hair, and the look in his steely gray eyes could kill.
" sir you c.c..could ruin y..your suit. And t..those ecchi bastards are your countrymen." Said a young japanese woman wearing a business uniform of sorts with her long black hair tied into a bun. She looked every-bit professional, despite the timid look on her face. "Oh and Takemaru-san is here to see you."
The man began to calm down. "Alright send him in, and take your break early. This might be a while."
"Hai Hayao-sama." The woman left without any further word. A full twenty minutes passed until Hayao heard a knocking on his office door. "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Takemaru wearing his muggle business suit. "Greetings Lieutenant- chan."
Hayao scowled. "Why do you insist on calling me that? I haven't been you're lieutenant since we were exiled from Soul Society."
Takemaru smirked. "Because I can. Anyways I do believe my irritating comment has significantly distracted you from whatever had you pounding your desk."
Hayao chuckled. "If there's one thing your good at doing, it's being a distraction. I remember that time you used the bonsai tree in the squad training ground as a test subject for a kido spell. The twelfth division was never the same after that."
Takemaru involuntarily shivered. "Don't remind me." "Anyways it's time for the Grimoire to updated."
Hayao narrowed his eyes. "I didn't think the update to the Grimoire would come so soon. Any particular reason you want this centuries most recent spells to be added to it?"
Takemaru nodded. "I believe it will give Sirius the edge he needs to protect and train his godson Harry. Surely you can see the relevance as Harry will be at the center of the oncoming war."
Hayao sighed. "Hirako just informed me yesterday that he has increased the Vizard's own training regiment. He want's to be ready to confront Aizen at any time on the off chance he makes an appearance. I guess we could count that as a blessing of sorts. Soul Society on the other hand won't be of any help to us at all if Aizen is controlling them somehow."
Takemaru scoffed. "When have we ever really had assistance from Soul Society. I left them out of my equations from the get-go. The only Captains who could reliably help us are Kyouraku and Ukitake." "Anyways I did what I came here to do."
Hayao smirked. "You leave as soon as you get what you wanted, no wonder you never had many girlfriends in Soul Society Captain- chan."
Takemaru turned beet red. "Says the annoying lieutenant who whisked them away." "I still wonder why Hayao has better luck with the ladies than me." Takemaru then half smiled before walking towards the door. "Say hello to your family for me."
Hayao sweatdropped. "Don't count on it. None of us have recovered from the last time you tried to use Kido to cook a Christmas ham." "I was left on the couch for a week after convincing everyone that was a good idea."
Takemaru walked out of Hayao's office chuckling to himself, wincing slightly as he closed the door. "My healing kido always did work better on others than it did myself."
