Chapter 10: The village of the cloud rulers

"I will stay here until the Kanshinin in command releases me and by taking a guess i'd say that Uryuu is in command."

"Yes he is the second Kanshinin, his father Ryuken was the first." Daisuke said.

"Yes yes, I know of his father. Such a tragedy but what do you expect from foes such as the Deidads." Shuinsui stated.

"Ichigo we must be ready for war. I will stay with Lord Ishida for a while, you will go to the Kanshinins chambers. Alert the third Kanshinin about Uryuu and tell him that during Uryuus absence, She will take over." Daisuke explained.

"Okay i will leave now."
"Also,"

"Yeah?"

"Could you perhaps get me some ramen? Uryuu and i will get quite hungry you see." Daisuke asked whilst fiddling with his hands.

"Yeah fine but i'm not paying."

"Who said you was paying? (Dammit almost got him!) Here this should be enough." Daisuke hands over some money to Ichigo.

"Thanks. I'll be back soon, I shall get the food after i have warned the Kanshinin." Ichigo said whilst leaving the room.

Ichigo leaves and makes his way to the Kanshinin chamber, Suinsui stays in the hospital partially to try and get as many nurses as he could to join his squad.

*At the unknown location*

"Gather Deidads." The Deidads gather in a large hall. They sit down by a large table with one chair larger than the rest. The ten Deidads sit and their master begins to speak. "You all know why you are here yes? We are here to discuss the artifacts hidden around the world."

"Why do we need these? We are already the strongest clan in the world!" A Deidad said.

"If we aquire these artifacts, we can control time and we can control the world."

"Do you have any idea where to find them?"

"I have located the the first of the five. This one can bend water to the users will and provide a limitless amount of it. I am sure that our kido master will have use for it. The first artifact is located in the village of the sky. Three of you will be assigned there, do whatever means necessary to aquire it."

"I will go." A man with a distinctive uniform speaks. The uniform is the same but darker in colour.

The Deidad uniform cloaks their entire body in a robe. Their face is hidden with a hood. The clour is blue with a smoke like pattern on it.

"Fine you along with Koroshiya and Yofun will fetch this for me. After i have checked it and made sure that it is not a counterfeit, you can do with it what you please."

"Yes. Thank you master." The three depart and a women passes them as they go through the entrance to the room. She has long purple hair with thin eyebrows. She wasn't in the Deidads uniform.

"So. You have come to me, tell me... what do you want from us?"

*At the village of the quincy*

"So Kyoraku, do you have any idea what they are after? Why are they interested in the quincy?" Daisuke asked.

"I'm not entirely sure Daisuke. The quincy are without a doubt a very strong race now, my guess would be that they don't want any interference from you when they attack the shinigami."

"Attack the shinigami?"

"Well it's only a guess but i know for a fact they don't like us one bit."

"How so?"

"Well to them you are a new race, the quincy were founded around 100 years after the Deidad. Little is known about them and who is in their numbers, we do know that they were a peaceful clan and i quote were. We now know that they are a threat to the world and if they continue to attack then the shinigami will force them to surrender." Sunsui explained.

"I see. Then the quincy wll assist you."

"Glad to hear it."

*The village of the sky*

In the kings chambers Four warriors can be seen two on each side of the kings throne. The kings is sitting on his throne as some priests stand before him. "Priest what do you have for me today?"

"We must move the location of the artifact my lord!" One priest spoke.

"Really now? Why is that?" The king said with his head resting on his palm.

"I fear that something terrible is about to happen."

"We are a respected force in soul society, if something bad is going to happen i am sure that the shinigami will aid us."

"We cannot rely on the shinigami alone on this one. Contact your militia! We have got to be prepared."

"You are a most dearest friend to me Hikaru. I will believe that this is true. I shall contact my war master and make sure that this village is defended."

"Yes my lord! Now about our artifact."

"It will be kept with me. My men in this building are amongst the finest in the whole army, we should have no trouble in keeping it safe from anyone. Now leave us." The king said whilst snapping his fingers. A guard picks up the artifact and places it on the wall above the throne.
