Chapter 10- Revival

Okay sorry that this took so long, it's getting to the point I'm forgetting my own facts about this story, I have recently started doing a bachelors in applied IT so I may not have as much time on my hands as it's a full time course, also I was going to do each world and travelling as its own story, therefore I can have small stories and large ones, I am hoping to finish this fanfic in the next one or two chapters and then do each world visited as its own fanfic, but it's gonna have a great storyline. I hope whoever reads this likes this extremely long chapter its 15,000 words long, anyway onto the story

"Normal speak"

"Incantation speak"

'Reading information from a book'

"Speaking in head to demon or Zanpakuto"

"Inner demon (instincts) speak"

"Zanpakuto speaking in mind"

The next morning I awoke groggy and with a bit of discomfort in my chest right where I know the only scar on my body is, right on my chest from the surgery, I looked over and noticed my clock said it was 11:23 AM. I shot up out of bed and ran over to my wardrobe, grabbing out a comfortable short dress and some sandals, I also did my hair up in a basic hair bun and brushed my teeth. Before heading down to the kitchen to get something small to eat, I passed my grandmothers room, I heard her say come here child, we need to talk, so I followed her instructions.

Once I was inside, sat down she gave me tea and biscuit's and cakes and macrons, which made my day easier as I didn't need to have breakfast anymore. Once I was done with eating, grandma handed me a simple little diamond shaped gold piece the size of her hand, when my eyes laid upon it, I knew it was my chest armour, however I couldn't see the medo stone, "put it on" she commanded me, so I did, I laid it over top of my dress as it morphed itself around my body covering my chest, upper abdominal, shoulders and arm in gauntlets, however all of this is changeable due to who originally gifted us with this armour, once the armour had moved itself into place on me, I noticed the medo stone in the middle of the armour with gold braces crossing over and in front of it. "It will keep the moons affects at bay, it can work with the blocker in your body and it can be removed anytime you please, I'm sorry it actually took longer for the armour to accept the Medo stone, I'm sure one day, planet or time you will finally come across your own Medo stone, this one may deny you in the future once you do start travelling." InuKimi spoke very softly.

That peeked my interests and I voiced my questions "So this isn't really my medo stone then?" InuKimi shook her head no and proceeded with explaining "No this particular stone was your grandfathers the great dog demon InuTashio which is the name of our clan and our taken name, he was chosen to be the traveller by the medo stone that belonged to my mother, and he used hers before finding his, and that has gone on for ages, not all travellers are women however all Law Keepers are woman. That piece of armour and many of your swords gifted to you, were all held and used by the travellers before you, you generally know this but not the full extent of this, so tell me about the armour and weapons you hold with in it, tell me the knowledge you know of it."

I looked at her quizzically before stating "It is a special demon armour that has always been in the family it can change our clothes, seal our weapons and items inside it and during the full moon it can seal itself inside the traveller if they are a hanyo like me, it can morph into different shapes, designs, colours and clothes…" I trailed off with my words as I noticed InuKimi shaking her head no at the information I just mentioned the information told to me when I started training with it "then tell me." Was all I commanded, I was actually angry how come they lied to me from once this armour came? "It was gifted to one of our many travellers from the past, I believe InuSatario was the original one gifted this piece of armour by a god of Mischief his name was Loki, he met him in another world and they fought each other, to see if your ancestor was skilled enough to be considered one of his race an Asgardian, but to put it plainly, the Asgardians like brawns to fight, however Loki was one of the smarter ones who used tricks, your ancestor won and was gifted the armour by Loki himself, apparently they became friends, but that was thousands of years ago. The only reason why he won was because Our demon eyes can see through camouflage, magic, tricks and lies" both InuKimi and I stated at the same time however she went on, "and your double morphing daggers that channel your demon poison came from a very special elf species that took the teeth of a dragon and commissioned them to a be created and then blessed by many wizards hence why they have multiple abilities, this was gifted to one of our other ancestors who helped the elves when they first awoke and for many more hundreds of years, I believe it was InuGotashi if I'm correct, and I think that was over 7 thousand years ago give or take a few thousand, but all the information is in those books below the library, you need to become very familiar with your armour and your weapons that are gifted to the traveller."

She finally finished I nodded my head but then I frowned "but I thought that we have only existed for 5 thousand years?" InuKimi looked at me then smiled "there is a lot you do not know however you need to know that it has been confirmed that you are now the traveller, more accurate information is given to the traveller, however it also has something to do with travelling that warps the time between places, realms, worlds and existence itself, for example you may stay somewhere for a thousand years however here no time will pass, and that is why InuTashio chose to stay and live within the realm of this one, because when travelling time does not shift here like it does in many others, it moves slower, so when we say that happened 7 thousand years here it could be 100 years but our race, our family blood line has been to many worlds and have been recording the worlds are naming them after the soul of the world or universe and then we record this information, as you become more accurate and experienced with travelling in the future you will be able to choose where and when you go and know and calculate the time difference, you and your sister may age differently to us due to this."

There was a comfortable silence as I thought through all that was spoken to me, "so why was everyone named with Inu at the start of their name except for father and I so far?" I was genuinely wondering why however InuKimi laughed, a true laugh, 'oh I can't wait to hear this' I thought "oh child it was decided that certain traditions were changed especially after not having a traveller or Law keeper for so long, but also it was the InuTashio that decided to change this law as he was hoping that our family would not travel and do this anymore after his generation, he begun to believe that the travellers were changing the course of history in many other realms and that they should be left to its own course whether it be good or bad, this is why we fought and split from on each other, and it was left to me to make sure we eventually continued our pre-determined existence as keepers of existence and balance all that is, he however did change the law on the Inu being added to the name of each member once they become the Lord of our clan and your father choose to honour his father by not changing the law off our clan members names back, for if he did he would then be called InuSesshomaru, and then you InuSerenity, most other existences that have in-counted our race know that our clan names our members that, and I also think that is why InuTashio changed that law and decided to have hanyo children after leaving the medo stone to never be used again, however I am against his wishes and his view on all of this."

I blinked and sat in silence, so much made sense now, why everything has changed and why it was hidden so much. I was brought out of my thoughts by InuKimi stating I should go and read as much as I can in the library, as that was where Luna was right know, my senses were not as good right know that I was sealed again by the armour and my hair was black and I looked human/soul reaper in a normal short dress with exquisite golden armour, I nodded and thanked her for the tea and food, before heading to the library.

Luna was surrounded by tonnes of books piled up on the floor around her where she sat on the floor, in a white dress, all the walls were lined with a lot of books, scrolls and old parchment of information, she was so focused that she didn't even notice me until I was right in front of her and said "so where do I start?" She jumped and nearly dropped the book, "oh my god Ren, you scared me half to death…oh so you finally got your armour back?" I nodded my head confirming what she could see, however I placed my hand on the diamond shaped centre and the armour morphed itself down to just that piece and I removed it from my body, leaving me in my demon form and then joined Luna on the floor with the books. I went over everything Luna had read in my absence, including the book of Laws, I read many personal collections from our ancestors specifically InuSatario and InuGotashi, however it wasn't InuGotashi that got the morphing daggers, so I need to find out which one of my many, many ancestors it was, we have collections from 19 previous Travellers and 102 previous Law Keepers, seeing as splicing was only learnt by InuJassa who is InuKimi's mother who was the traveller before InuTashio was the traveller.

I didn't even notice that it was late at night, by the time InuKimi collected us and said it was time for dinner, and we were having a family dinner together for once. I collected 5 more books that I wanted to read through before bedtime, I also placed my armour back on. Luna and I went over the information we knew and had read, I told her all about the armour that I read about and that I was needing information on the morphing swords, I also told her about the mentioning of our beginning of time and how there were theories mentioned through many personal recollections from our ancestors but no one really remembered how or where or when we came to be, some mentioned that we were actually celestials and that sometime over the many years what we were called changed, from gods, to demons and among others, but also in our first ancestor recording they mentioned many ancestors before them however they didn't record their travels at all, and they use to have many more than one traveller and that there was many of us, however we will never truly know.

Once we had finished eating, Mother brought up Luna, herself and I going to the world of the living to look at dresses for my mating ceremony, which only consisted of the family to be present once completed they will leave both Jushiro and I alone to do as we pleased, I noticed my father tensed up at the mention of mating ceremony, both InuKimi and I smirked, knowing exactly what was going through his head. "Come on dad, it will be fun for us ladies to go to the world of the living and shop a bit, besides it's been hundreds of years since you have been there, I want to see how humans are faring in the living world…please?" He sighed and said fine, but only if InuKimi goes with you and as long as you are accompanied by someone from the Seireitai, as you may need to use there much more safer portal rather than the medo stone." He looked at InuKimi, she smirked and agreed to come with us and said something about Captain Kyraku being more than happy to allow them passage and even accompany them if need be. I knew that meant InuKimi had him wrapped around her finger.

Over the next week, Luna and I read through as much as we could to catch up on the general information we should have grown up knowing, if it wasn't for InuTashio wanting to cease Travelling as a clan order/job, I was a bit angry thinking about it, how could he turn his back on our clan's reason for existing, we were most likely created to do just this and this alone, not many other races, species or beings could actually say they exist for this or have the abilities to do what we can, however Luna thinks that maybe it became too much for him, or that something happened to change his view on things, as he stopped recording a couple of hundred years before ceasing his travelling, and a lot can happen in a couple of hundred years. I couldn't find who got the morphing daggers however I did find a book detailing all the information and knowledge about them, they can be changed and transformed onto other weapons, such as two katanas, swords, clubs, axes, by placing them together they can become a spear, bow and arrows and so on, if the wielder thinks it then It can be created, also out abilities aka our poison can be transferred though the weapon making the blades green and the arrows used made of pure poison, they were truly awesome, and they are made from dragons teeth the dragon called Morpheus, apparently dragons were very powerful and they're skin and bones were immune to poison, heat, fire, ice, cold, nature, and any other natural substance or ability, they also did not die unless killed and that was a feat in itself, dragons were also able to use a certain magic that no one else have had the pleasure of seeing or learning in a non-lethal way.

There was also many mentions of a full universe in its own that was fully catalogued by none other than InuSatario who spent many more years in that universe than any other and was named the infinite universe as it was so big, and different to many others that he had visited but he mentioned something strange about the souls of the worlds and how they don't exist. It seemed to me that he stayed to be close to his friend Loki, who taught him a lot about the 9 realms in which Asguard keeps under their protection. It seems to me after going through all of the travellers' accounts that it was InuSatario that was most impressive as a traveller and that is what I aim for. Luna had many more books to first read seeing as there was 150 books from the Law keepers' edition, however they were a lot shorter than the travellers' books, and once she was done, we traded, I read the law keepers and Luna read the travellers. So it turned out that our great grandmother learned how to splice from someone she made friends with on a certain realm now catalogued, apparently we could do it only because of the way we mate and bond permanently if needed.

Luna and I also went back to our practical training her using her abilities and me learning how to use the morph weapons and my armour more, I noticed for this latest law that was called Nanika, it pretty much resulted in Luna sitting by herself talking and mumbling, obviously trying to get to know Nanika herself and the both aligned to knowing one another, I learned to put both hilts of my daggers together and they form together to make a bow and by pulling the string back I can form arrows out of poison, however seeing I can manipulate any element and the air and wind, I can create arrows our of anything within my reach, I heard Kagura, my Zanpakuto say " can you already put away the useless weapon, and try learning Bankai, seriously Ren, I am sick to death of waiting for us to use our full potential, it's like my whole being is vibrating with pent up energy that hasn't been utilized and if we don't it will just burst, besides all that reading you have been doing lately has been boring me to death." "Relax, we will get to that later and we can go all gun-hoe on all the bad guys we come across once we start travelling, okay, besides the morphing daggers are not useless, even you must admit that they are very handy and useful, plus I think that we will have fun learning bankai with Renji and Byakuya after the wedding…so please be patient?" There wasn't even a second's pause before Kagura yelled at me "GET IN HERE AND LETS TALK NOW!" I exhaled; I swear we are polar opposites, I ceased my training put the morph blades into their holders on the back of my armour and sealed it again so that my being and weapons were back to my soul reaper image and nothing other than my yelling zanpakuto and healing sword was on my hip side by side. I walked away into the forest that surrounds the clan grounds to where I found a small creek flowing into a pond, a place where us kids would swim and hang out in summer when it was unbearably hot, they say heat rises and they were not kidding. I sat down with my legs crossed on top of a flat rock, I placed my zanpakuto across my legs, knee to knee, Kagura had a Crimson silk wrapped around the handle with a golden accents and guard, there is also a golden bell hanging from a red string attached to the round gold guard that was shaped with sky dragons and feathers, the bell doesn't work for those with normal hearing however my hearing can pick it up, it's a way for Kagura and I to communicate when a threat has arisen, and her sheath is a wind barrier that keeps Kagura invisible to all. I breathed deeply, closed and then reopened my eyes, and I was sitting in my inner world.

It was similar but not exactly like home, there was many floating lands moving around high in the sky but there was no buildings and only clouds around, each was different, some dense with forests, some covered in plain lands, some were connected by vines and grass and even a few has waterfalls, seas, ponds and so on the water fell over in waves over the edge and into the sky. In a meadow surrounded by huge willow teas, moss and a lot of wild flowers was Kagura in her red, white and golden empress dress armour, she had red eyes, pointed ears and pitch black long hair that she wore up in an intricate design with many ornaments, she never wore footwear, a lot like my sister and she always wore makeup the most obvious being the bright blood red lipstick, she is the demon empress of the wind, and she had chosen me as her wielder. Captain Hitsuguyer's Zanpakuto is similar, he has an ice dragon as his zanpakuto but it is not the other half of his soul, like how Kagura isn't the other half of my soul but we became bonded and so it is useless to think of us as not the same soul.

"Man you take your time" she exclaimed, I wasn't impressed with her attitude today, she is normally not this wound up, controlling nor demanding, she does at time act like a high and mighty Queen that wants all to kneel before her but right know she's like a demanding brat who wants chocolate. "Yeah I'm here only because you refuse to stop distracting me, and I've told you that we will begin bankai training after the marriage. I…'" I didn't get to finish "but we were practicing before and we were doing so well until you decided to get married, don't get me wrong, I think you're lucky to get a sexy hunk that's nice however this is now a dilemma because we cannot train." She crossed her arms and was upset "I know you don't like it however I really need to get up to date on all of my clans things and other weapons, we don't know how long we have till Luna and I take off, I also need to learn how to use the Laws Kagura, and then go over all the Kido's and keep checking up on the blocker in my chest, and I also haven't had real life and death combat, plus I still need to become accustomed to all the weapons I have in my possession, and I'm still planning a wedding, and what if I have kids with Jushiro before I leave, demon babies take foreverttogrowupandthenyourareupsetcauseidon'thavetimeforyouandnowimcrying…" I had big wet tears running down my face. "there, there I didn't mean to make you cry, okay, we will continue bankai when you have less on your plate and if you tell Jushiro just to wait to have kids, I'm sure he will be happy to wait for you, lord knows he has the patience of a saint…I'm sorry I was acting like a child and I was being pushy, it's just I sometimes get lonely and all I have up here is the sound of the wind and no one else while your preoccupied."

Kagura looked very apologetic, she gave me a hug, she could be so motherly at times, I smiled into the hug and said your right, I also asked her if she wanted to help me decide on my ceremony dress when the family ladies and I travel to the living world to shop, she was all too happy to agree and finally let me leave to continue my daily knowledge intake and training, only after I agreed to spend an hour before bed with her every night in exchange of her lenience, she reminds me of InuKimi sometimes.

It wasn't till a month before the wedding that the InuTashio ladies and I went to Kyraku's division for us to gain entry to the living world and he was to accompany us, we were way too excited to see the ceremony dress before his best friend, who he was going to be best man at the wedding itself. Even mother received a pass into Seireitai for this one day on a special occasion, but we didn't get to stop of see anyone, as we went straight to the world of the living. We arrived out in a small court yard with two teenagers a boy and a girl sweeping the ground and a hulking giant of a man supervising them, Kyraku turned to them and said, "Is Kisuke Urahara here right now?" But before anyone could say anything the red headed boy said "depends on who's asking?" the giant of a man smacked him over the head before saying "Captain Kyraku it's been a long time, he is inside if you have business with him." He nodded "Thank you Tessai and yeah it's been far too long indeed." We all made our way inside the shop, "ah customers, how nice" there was also a black cat sitting next to him, however I could see this was actually a woman in disguise and not just any woman but Yoroichi herself. "What can I do for you old friend?" "I actually need two gigai's' one for myself and one for Lady Rin" he said while moving out of the way for Kisuke to see us ladies behind him.

"Rin InuTashio, it's been far too long since we have seen each other, and honestly I didn't think that we would, so a gigai then?" my mother nodded and agreed, "yes please Kisuke, my eldest, Ren is getting married and we want to choose a ceremony dress for her today from the living world." "What a joyous occasion, so I see the other lovely ladies won't be needing any gigai, and congratulations Serenity, and let me guess Jushiro right?" he had a smug look on his face. I smirked "why of course you're right and thank you, it's been a long time since I've seen you, honestly I'm shocked that I'm getting married before you and Yoroichi, say when is that happening?" I smirked as I noticed the black cat go rim-rod straight and then a puff of smoke went off, and Yoroichi was standing there in her birthday suite and yelled "not in anyone's lifetime!" Kyraku was happy for the show, Kisuke looked like a kicked puppy and Luna and my Mother were both shocked that she was in her birthday suite; meanwhile InuKimi seemed as if she was admiring her birthday suite.

Once both Kyraku and my mother were in their gigai's we head of for wedding dress stores, here in the living world, it is the only place to get a white bond ceremony dress that could be both sexy and romantic, and you can't get that kind of stuff in the Seireitai. Once we arrived to one store called 'happily ever after'; we got our own area closed off from the rest of the store and we also got food and drinks. I tried on one but it was puffy all around, another was tight all the way down to the knee till it went puffy like the other another made it look like my bust was going to bust out any second. It wasn't till the fifth dress I tried on that I knew it was right, it had an open back, and very intricate lace floral designs on the front, it was sheath in its design and had a train down the back of the dress and a large intricate lace pattern through it, it also had spaghetti straps that were lined with white pearls, it showed of my figure however it was very romantic and beautiful, it was so right that I didn't need to even get any changes by the seamstress done. Once we bought it, which wasn't cheap, we went back to the Seireitai, I really wanted to show it to Jushiro and the other lady Shinigami but I really needed to get it home into the closet where it's safe and sound, so back home we went. It was actually a very fast trip, we were home by lunchtime and we all sat down and Luna told Satashi and Takashi just how amazing the living world is and all the pranks they could pull, she also told them about the big metal things with wheels that moved people about quickly and smelled of chemicals known as vehicles, then onto the buildings, people, shops and so on, I left once InuKimi patted me on the shoulder and told me to follow her.

Inu Kimi and I sat down at her little sitting table on the veranda, "so the marriage ceremony, is just like a normal humans, this is so that all friends and family can come together it's also more for the festivities for those who cannot make a bond, after the cake, food, dancing and drinking, the next night on the full moon you and Jushiro will go to your room where the whole family will bleed into a goblet that includes you and Jushiro will drink it, that allows him to be one of the family, once we leave, you and him must do the mating bond just like you have before however this time during making love, this is how yous will consummate the permanent bond and his claim in the clan, any questions?" I only had one not that it was a problem or anything "what if we don't make love and consummate the bond?" "Then he won't become part of the family and we must wait for another full moon to do this on but that won't be a problem will it?

I mean you 's two have already been physical with each other, so why ask?" I shrugged my shoulders "just a question, also what is the chances of me falling pregnant?" she gave me a long look before saying "I've never known a mated couple to not be with child after a mating ceremony, we only fall pregnant once we are bonded unless the 'pull out' method is used then you won't however a full mating ceremony is difficult because it is so…intense for both especially considering you are mating for love and nothing else." I nodded at her a million thoughts going through my mind, I won't be able to do combat and continue training and it will take us that much longer to start to go on adventures… "Don't worry…when a female falls pregnant all the family females help out so your mother, sister and I will help out and if you need to leave or train or something like that we all take care of the child, do you even not remember me in your child hood?" I sat there for a moment trying to remember I shook my head no, "that's because I helped your mother through all her pregnancies, birthing and raising and that doesn't stop for her, you or your sister till the day I die." I nodded and thanked her, I hated when she mentioned her death to be in the future, like I know one day it will happen, but not any millennia soon, same with father and grandfather and mother. There was another thing that was bugging me "InuKimi, if all this preparation and set up is needed to mate and therefore have children, why did InuTashio manage to have a child with a mortal?" She was quite for a while but explained that not all beings fall under the same laws as great powerful creatures such as us, and therefore he could get a mortal pregnant but if you were to sleep with a mortal it would not work as you are the female, does that make sense, she asked I nodded. So pretty much a male demon could get a mortal or other lesser being pregnant but a lesser being couldn't get a female such as myself pregnant. "What about me being a hanyo, or Luna?" She nodded agreeing that yes hanyo's can still get pregnant however I am more than a hanyo and also stated that this is one of the many reason's as to why we as a family stick close to Luna, she can always fall pregnant.

I finally was informed about the dog demon that was introduced to our clan and he now lived in the dense forest that was why I could smell him when I first came home from the Seireitai, I had spoken to him twice he wasn't too happy that I was a hanyo, nor did he like the fact that I was to become a traveller and my sister the Law keeper, especially considering that he was extremely loyal to InuTashio and what we are doing is against his wishes, after that I steered clear from him. It really surprised me that he was Captain Komamura's father seeing as he was so negative but I suppose old people always become grumpy the older they get.

Oh beautiful May has arrived, our wedding is exactly one month away, we have spring coming in to full bloom, where the cherry blossoms are blooming, the wild flowers are flourishing and all trees and grass look that brighter green with all the plenty of bee's, birds and insects flying about in the lovely warmer season air, mother was so much more excited that we were finally sending out invites to all those coming, father was staying way out of any decision making he just said do whatever yous want and left us to it, and that can be an expensive, dangerous thing to say where mother is involved. I pretty much just agree with her and let her plan everything, so long as the people are there and that there are food and drinks then I don't mind at all. We decided on the first of June, Jushiro will be here the night, on the second we get married and on the third which is a full moon night where we will complete a mating bond ritual. However all I have been doing is studying like my life depends on it, Luna has Nanika down to pat and said I can ask anything from the both of them, as I'm their favourite, whatever that means, I only briefly spoke to Nanika, and pretty much she just asked for things and then asked what I wanted, which I just said, for her to be happy, apparently that was the right thing to say because Luna says she loves me more than anyone else.

I tried the fairy Law again, and it worked even smoother and easier, no more dispersing and I can do it without removing my seals on my arm, however, if I need to do a large one I can remove them and my demon powers stay at bay and don't try and kill me because of the blocker. I also went over some of the kido's and they were easier to create and required less energy they were extremely powerful, so I need to re-adjust to the amount of power I put into my kido's and my flash step was fast, like break neck speed fast so I pulled back on that too. I went over all of the Accounts of the Law keeper, it was very interesting to read from their point of view, and it also allowed me to sort a see more from Luna's point of view on a lot of things.

I also noticed when InuSatario was the traveller, he had 7 different Law keepers travel with him throughout all the years, all family, from cousins, to sisters to nieces and even his daughter and then granddaughter, this was back when the family was so large he had 18 brothers and sisters and his parents on both sides had many, many siblings, it was actually hard for me to wrap my head around that we use to bread like rabbits. Apparently I don't know if this is true or not but when a rabbit demon is born into the family it brings both god and bad into the family, like a scary story, but that was many speculations based from what InuSatario only heard that as a rumour by the time he got all the way back home no one knew if it had or hadn't happened.

Over the next month I continued to read all the books in our library, there were so much information not just about personal diaries and accounts but also the way space and time shifts differently between different worlds and existences. InuSatario has the most amount of information recorded as most of the parchments and books were from his recollection and information gathering, he spent thousands' of years travelling through the Infinite universe that he had the privilege of naming however even though he spent that many years travelling and learning and balancing the universe he also got to go back to Asguard where time barely passed at all, only a couple of hundred years compared to his thousands, it was very fascinating to read in depth of it.

He also mentioned going to the Maxillian universe to a planet that is codded planet 546XY which is where he came across his own Medo stone that he got to select from many, but apparently the people there were governed by a super computer named Jupiter and they were ranked via their hair colours. They had an endless supply of medo stones because they use them as fuel and energy to create worm holes and jump and move through space to other locations quicker, which is similar to what my family does, however we can move faster and further than they can, I was planning to go to this place when it's finally time for me to find my own medo stone, he stated he knew which stone was his because it was like he found the other half of himself, so sort a like my zanpakuto. He also mentioned a special race with blond hair that were strong and smart humanoid beings created by the computer system Jupiter and that they do not age nor die naturally they also cannot reproduce, he also never in-counted them, he just watched and listened to them the whole time there never being detected, he also went on offering advice to never show ourselves, as they like to learn and test and sell of creatures or have them as slaves or for pleasures of the body.

He also mentioned that having to use the third law Fairy Heart was what reduced him to needing to quite travelling and hand it down to the next person that was chosen, the curse placed upon him was a decompose curse, his body slowly died away and he was left in immense pain, even though he had all the magical energy his heart desired and his natural strengths it did not matter, he continued on using his powers to help all those around him and train the next traveller and then slipped away in his sleep, like so many others before him.

"Earth to Serenity!" Luna waved her hand in front of my face, there was only 3 more days till Jushiro came over to stay the night before our wedding, and recently that has left me day dreaming but mainly about all the too much information that has been smashed into my head in the last two months, and to think there is still going over Kido, all the Laws, bankai, how to portal between places with the medo stone and I still need to learn how to use the war scroll and the Uchiha sword not to mention the Sounga demon sword. We don't have the Tenseiga nor Tessaiga, The Tessaiga stayed with my Uncle InuYasha and was sealed away in a new black pearl which has been lost in the vast oceans on the living world, this at first bothered my father however as time went on, it was obvious that it was for the best. "There you go dazing of again, what are you thinking about?" Luna asked, it took me a while to answer as I just felt so tired even speaking "you know…all that I've learnt and what I still need to learn…" I said followed by a yawn, we were sitting down in the room below the library that we dubbed as our office room on the old leather brown chairs. "oh…" she sounded so disappointed "I honestly thought that you were going to say your wedding, or your honey moon or your children's names or living with Jushiro, not all the stuff you still need to learn, which mind you, you still have many years to do that in."

I exhaled "yeah, however I'm not as happy as mother is about the wedding, maybe it's because technically I have been mated to Jushiro for such a long time it feels like we have always been married." She nodded "however you must be at least happy to have so many people come together just to celebrate, most of soul society and even some from the living world are coming here just for your wedding, oh and what about Jushiro's family? Have you met them yet?" she said it in a teasing tone. "He has 5 brothers and 2 sisters, he is a bit distanced from them but most noble clan's members that are soul reapers tend to be, however Jushiro supports the whole family financially and they will be coming to the wedding, Jushiro is the oldest son, it will be nice to meet his siblings." It was hard not falling asleep on the leather couches, Luna has already successfully learned Jump and already has moved onto confessor, it's actually the most she has learned in 2 months let alone ever in her life, she claimed that it was because Jump was so easy to master, meanwhile I cannot grip Fairy Glitter and I know to use Fairy heart will require I vocally invoke it and draw my power to my physical heart in my chest, not that I'll do it. I was planning on moving onto the next law, apparently some will be harder to learn than others this also go's for Luna however she is guaranteed to fully learn and be able to use them all, however not all the travellers will be able to learn them, apparently InuTashio only knew fairy Law and still then he wasn't great at it.

It was finally the day that I would be going to the soul society to meet up and heal Jushiro but then come home with him, I was so glad that mum did all the wedding planning, she was more than happy too and Jushiro and I had no problems accepting her help, she has sorted out everything, and she can't wait to meet him, and get to talk his ear off just like every parent does. "Now don't forget his belongings, and don't take too long, and don't be like your father and have a fight with a captain, make sure Jushiro will be comfortable coming here with you on the trip, if you don't think that you can transform your father can go with you, you know?" both father and I sharply turned to mum with widened eyes, "mum, it's okay breathe, everything will be fine, I'll heal Jushiro and then collect his things and come home with him after he says goodbye and leaves everything to Rukia while he is gone, and no I will not be fighting any captains" I then turned away and whispered "unless they deserve it" to which my father gave me a thumbs up, as if agreeing with me and saying violence is always the answer. I shook my head and stated I'll be back before they know it and transformed into my dog demon form, I was not as fluffy as father nor as large, I looked a lot like InuKimi however my makings were purple and I had my crescent moon on my forehead, I jumped off into the air, and ran using the air to propel me through the sky towards the soul society.

I noticed once I got closer to the roukongai outskirts, there were many kids playing in the flowering field, looking up and waving at my form, they must have seen us flying through the sky in this area many times especially lately, what made me leave the sky and land in the plains was a large hollow sneaking up behind the children from the edge of the forest. When I landed I made sure to place my imposing figure between the children and the hollow, the hungry being hunkered down into the slightly taller grass near the forests edge, it must have thought that I didn't know it was there, however before I could get rid of it, the 4 young children ran up towards me screaming "look at the large puppy!"

I was debating if I should entertain them till they leave, change back to my normal form or growl at them so that they would back off, however I decided to settle with the former choosing to turn toward them and let them pat my mussel and head, once my back was turned I could feel the hollow continue its trek towards our location. It wasn't a strong hollow not by a long shot and sort of looked between a centipede and a turtle from up in the sky, if it was too strong it would have been a problem as it's abilities would have hindered me just like how my father's abilities naturally hindered Captain Kenpachi's, but this one was on such a low level it wouldn't affect me in the slightest and I have more of a resistance to them due to only being half demon.

I quickly turned back to my humanoid form looking just like my soul reaper self; the children quickly took a step back until the pink smoke cleared. All of their confused faces turned into large smiles and faces of surprise to see a soul reaper where a large dog was, it was at that moment that the hollow lunged at us with my back facing it. I quickly grasped my zanpakuto in my right hand and spun around sweeping my sword up diagonally and cleanly cutting it in half as its body landed on both sides of the children and myself as it slowly dissipated back into the cycle of rebirth. I sheathed my sword and turned around to the kids, "sorry about that..." but before I could say anything else they were cheering and saying "whoa you're a soul reaper", "how do you turn into a big doggie?" and "you saved us that's so brave of you." I patted their head and said it was my job to protect all from hollows and help those in need to move on into the afterlife (not that I've done that yet) and that turning into a big dog was my special magic trick. "Can you do it again?" they all asked with happy faces "sure I can, but this time I really need to get going, I am so late back to the soul society, is that okay?" and without a beat the kids all said "Okay!" in unison, I raised my demon powers till I was surrounded by pink smoke and my body morphed into my much more larger K9 form, with that I jumped off into the air and continued on to the soul society.

I also noticed something feeling off as I went over the roukongai it felt like an unease settled in my chest like something bad was to come, but I just thought maybe it was my blocker causing the feeling to bubble up in my chest, I landed on the outskirts of the buildings and dissipated into the air, travelling as one with the wind to arrive standing in front on Jidanbō standing at the west gate. I accidentally startled him, nearly causing him to land on his backside "sorry Jidanbō didn't mean to startle you, I'm here for Captain Ukitake" once he realised it was me he laughed and said "no need to apologize lady Ren, I should be paying more attention. Yes today is when Jushiro leaves for your home, before the wedding right?" I nodded at him, "Yes say, will you be coming?" "Of course I can't miss out on this union of love, besides this is like the wedding of the millennia, no noble houses coming together in love, it's so romantic." I laughed "I didn't realised you got tears in your eyes at the mention of weddings, I'm glad you will be there Jidanbō . "After we spoke some more and mainly me teasing him about the tears in his eyes and that he better not cry a river during the middle of the festivities, I finally departed to go to the 13th squad barracks.

Once I arrived at Jushiro's Ugendo residence, I heard him moving around and then a wet coffin as Sentaro said "Captain Ukitake you can rest and let us complete your packing for you…" I quickly tapped my pointy finger against the paper door, making the occupants go quite before Sentaro and Kiyone could get into an argument on who cared for my beloved more. I heard Kiyone come to the door and bow, then announced "Lady Ren is here for you my captain." Jushiro thanked both of his subordinates and asked them to allow us some time together before we departed, and of course they did as what was asked. "I see you are nearly finished packing, did you want me to heal you right now, I need to also see lady Unohana to check my blocker" Jushiro looked concerned "has everything been alright?" he slowly walked over to me and cupped our hands together, "Yes everything is fine I just got a weird feeling in my chest and would thought a look up couldn't hurt, right?" He looked at me quizzically and repeated my words "a weird feeling? Like what?" I directed us to sit on his small seat cushions on the floor next to his coffee table, and I told him the events that had occurred on the way to the Seireitai. "Maybe it's got nothing to do with your blocker but with a hollow being around or it could be that you feel like something with ill-intent is to come, but do check it in case, the last thing I want is for you to be worried about your health." He lightly played with my hair that was down and now spilled onto the floor, I placed my hand onto my armour piece and then slowly removed it as it morphed into just the diamond shape of it and I placed it on the small table. He continued to play with my hair even after my physical appearance changed into my demon form, it was always lovely to me that he never stopped looking and loving me the same way even with the drastic changes in my look and being, that's how I know he loves me and me him. "Shall we?" I asked as it was time for me to heal him, He laid down on the floor, getting comfortable as I did as well above him, I leaned in and closed my eyes as I noticed my markings and lips light up in the purest white light. I noticed I was extremely exhausted afterwards as I had to heal him longer than usual. My breathing was deep and laboured and I was held by Jushiro as he quickly laid me down on the floor and cradled my head, my sight was blurry and so was his voice for a few seconds before it all cleared. "Are you alright my darling, Serenity?!" I could hear the panic in his voice, "I am now fine, just a little exhausted, I seem to have gotten rusty my dear," he exhaled and laid his head on my chest obviously over-come with relief "I'm sorry I worried you" I said has he raised his head he gave me a levelled look before he said "you must promise me that you will never use this healing method on me ever again, please, I noticed that it exhausts you however never this much, and I could never bear to lose you especially if it is because of me." I nodded my understanding "alright Jushiro but after we are fully bonded, I will never have to heal you again as our beings will be bonded forever keeping you and I at peak condition and away from sickness" I leaned over and peeked him on the lips.

After I told him about the last two months and he mentioned Kyraku teasing him, stating he has seen my ceremony dress, and that it was very un-lady like in so many ways, to which I laughed, stating that I would only do this for him. We slowly finished the very last of his necessities, we left around midday and headed to the fourth divisions, as we entered it was young male Shinigami that greeted us, "Hello, I'm Hanatarō Yamada, and I will assist and help you anyway I can, after lifting from his bow he continued "do you need to see captain Unohana, captain Ukitake?" Jushiro gave him the warmest smiles, I could see this child had the most naivety but one off the most pure hearts. "Actually if either the Captain or Lieutenant is available to look at my fiancé that would be most helpful Hanatarō," he nodded "right this way please captain Ukitake and…" he left it open not yet being informed of who I am, which surprised me as I was always around the fourth division, however only the captains and lieutenants and those needing to know of my existence knew who I was and my name "Lady Ren, I nodded my head towards him, "if course lady Ren, how could I ever forget such a lovely name" I smiled back at him, yes very pure I thought and he nervously laughed.

I pulled up my black soul reaper top and placed my armour back onto my chest as it was before, "all seems fine and what you mentioned sounds more like nerves rather than an effect or issue from the blocker." Lady Unohana was sitting back down at her desk as her Lieutenant was righting down all the information of this visit, she left the end of the sentence open as if she was about to say but, so I waited patiently, knowing Jushiro was in the hallway being a gentle man as usual and allowed me my private time with being physically checked over. "However are you experiencing nausea, headaches, knots in your stomach, shakes and worry, maybe fainting or exhausted all the time?" I nodded my head, stating I was just so overwhelmed with all my current studying and planning, but also I told her what happened on my way to them today and what transpired when I healed Jushiro, she seemed to look at me for a second and then over my shoulder at her Lieutenant. "Lieutenant Isane, with the information given to us and the examination just completed what are some of the possible diagnoses that are currently possible?" I looked over at her shy Lieutenant who straight away shot of with answers. She may be shy however not with the importance of her job, "the first would be pregnancy and the second would be over stressed and anxiety from being too busy or worried about upcoming events, and test can be done that will answer both questions at once, that being a blood test.

So once I rolled down my sleeve and waited for the machine to spin the test tubes and both captain and lieutenant, had placed the blood into multiple different small tubes all with different solutions and writing down the result of it and adding the completed paper to my other charts in my medical folder, before removing their gloves and sitting down. "so you are not pregnant, however having stress is not good especially if you want to mother a child shortly" I nodded my understanding "I honestly feel far too young to start a family and I still need to learn a lot more and being able to be physically fit and in shape not heavy with child is what I want, I haven't spoken to Jushiro about this but I know he will be very understanding, would you know of anything that may work, InuKimi has stated she has never known of any family member who hasn't become pregnant on their bonding ceremony night, and I am one who does not wish for that yet." Unohana nodded her understanding and then opened a draw behind her and grabbed a small bottle filled with tiny small white pills and handed to me as she said "The soul reaper ladies use this to prevent unwanted pregnancies even though it is already rare for soul reapers to have children outside of noble clans however Jushiro is noble and strong and you are also half soul reaper, I don't know if this applies to you or will even work, but you won't know till you try and I agree with talking with Jushiro before using them." I grabbed the small bottle and put it away in my pocket, I stood and bowed and thanked captain Unohana and Lieutenant Isane before leaving.

I found Jushiro surrounded by a lot of fourth division soul reapers that were eagerly listening to him and asking him questions about his book and trying to gleam what is going to happen next in the book "to be honest I don't know myself where the story is going, it sort of just happens as I write…" I slowly placed my hand on Jushiro's arm as he paused and turned to me "Sorry to cut this short but I must be going and I believe I have taken yous away from your duties for far too long" all the soul reapers were hesitant to be on their ways until Unohana's door opened and she walked out to see the cluster of her unit around us and not working. Like dear caught in headlights they all babbled some silly excuses and took off in different directions. "Thank you Captain Unohana for taking care of Ren" he lightly squeezed my arm "it was no problem Captain Ukitake, and I hope yous have a safe trip and I look forward to seeing yous both on your wedding day."

After we headed to the first division where the head captain and Kyraku both were waiting for our arrival, we were shown in immediately by the first lieutenant, grandfather was sitting at his desk with a hot cup of tea and Kyraku was leaning against one of the many large red poles in the room. "I see yous have finally arrived" "My friends have come to say their farewells" Kyraku being the most joyous person in the room, Jushiro placed his bag down at the entryway. "We were seeing lady Unohana and said our good byes." I noticed my grandfather stand up, "I'm sad to say but I will not be attending your wedding, however this is my present to you my young one", he had a rectangular box on his desk something that looked like it might hold a dress in it, I slowly approached the table and hesitantly lifted the white box lid, inside was a white Kimono wedding dress with a headdress and all done with pearl and diamante beading in the shapes of roses, snowdrops and cherry blossoms, it was a thick three layered white on white, before I could say anything he said "this is what your grandmother, my lovely wife wore on the day she and I married, I think she would love it if you were to wear this as your own wedding dress." I couldn't believe this, I had never met my grandmother but here was her wedding dress, the fact that he kept it meant that it was very special, I instantly hugged him and said "thank you grandfather, I would be honoured to wear this as my wedding dress." Once I separated from the hug, I noticed that Grandfather had his eyes closed and I could smell what was tears and said out loud "are you crying Yamaji?" he turned away back to his desk and said "no, how preposterous…" but I noticed he used his captains haori to wipe his face and then in the back ground "awww… Yama-Ji is actually crying tears of happiness, where's a camera when you need it?" followed by Jushiro stating "just because he is our head captain doesn't mean that he can't cry."

After we said our goodbyes and collected the last of our things, we headed to the west gates and were greeted by many of the soul reapers, captains and lieutenants alike, wishing us well and a safe trip and mentioning if they would see us at our wedding the next day, however not all could attend as duties must come first. Once we left, we made our way to the buildings of the roukongai district, I turned to Jushiro and said "I will need you to place our items onto my back and jump onto me, once I transform, okay?" he nodded and said "offcourse my dear" I tapped my armour, shifting into my natural form and then shifting further into my true dog demon form with four legs, I knelt down so that it would be easier to get our belongings on my back, Jushiro isn't short, not in the lease however I would help anyway I can. Once all our belongings were perched in the middle of my shoulder blades and Jushiro sitting on my head, I slowly lifted myself to my full height and jumped off into the sky, I felt the slight pull of my fur on my head from Jushiro trying to hold on. I heard an impish "sorry dear" from him, he probably didn't realize that move so fast through the sky, I heard the children from before still at the field just like before, they were yelling out "hey dog soul reaper lady" and I guess if I had looked down they would be waving, however I would drop my finance if I looked down, "so I take it those were the children you met earlier today", I made an agreeing noise in my throat to let him know that he was right.

Once we arrived to my home, we landed in a large field fully in bloom with wild flowers, I heard the family aka Luna scream we were here and leave the family home to meet us, meanwhile Jushiro collected our things and jumped off of me, even some of the guards and those training came over to greet us and help take some of our luggage. Luna was running at us full speed, I finally returned to my natural form just as she jumped at me to catch her, at the right time, once I let her go she instantly hugged Jushiro and asked if he enjoyed the ride here, he just laughed and said it was most enjoyable, meanwhile my brothers and parents along with InuKimi came out to greet us and take us inside.

It was a very animated dinner that night with my brothers asking too many questions and Luna seeing if he was going to do more of his book and how much his character sounded like the human Ichigo that she heard all about, which then led to many other conversations, I couldn't wipe the smile of my face, this was exactly what I wanted a large happy family, with everyone present. I spoke to my mother and mentioned what grandfather gave me, she was over the moon, and stated that she had never met her mother either and to be able to wear her wedding dress was truly special, and that they would need to try it on tonight before bed.

"I honestly don't know if it will fit, however it is a shiro-maku, so it's naturally adjustable," Rin said "wait why might it not fit me?" I asked closing my bedroom door behind me after Luna and my mother entered to start doing a fitting. "Well my mother was pregnant with me when her and my father married, so unless your pregnant, you will need to have it wrapped a whole extra around you," I nodded my head as I removed the Yukata wedding dress that I was supposed to wear instead off of the mannequin, Jushiro and my father went off with the boys somewhere to have a 'man's talk', it helps knowing that they get along so well. I stood in the centre off the room as the first light under layer went on, then the first thick layer and then the second tighter layer, with the obi around my middle, with the third open over layer and then the headdress that flowed down the back of the dress, lastly the plain white flat shoes were placed on my feet by Luna. "Okay turn around" my mother said as I did a whole 360 to show them what it looks like, at that moment InuKimi entered the room and gasped, "oh my child you look breath taking" she admired and then closed the door. I slowly walked over to my mirror, and I must admit it was very beautiful the only thing left was to put my hair up and out of sight and maybe red rouge lipstick that InuKimi wears will help finish it all off.

We took of the dress and placed each piece on the mannequin for tomorrow, the wedding was going to be in the afternoon at like 4-5 and then the reception at 5-10 plus the lovely Shiba clan is doing fireworks for us. "So I spoke to Lady Unohana and she thought that I was stressed from all the work I've been doing, I also mentioned that I wasn't ready to become a mother and has given me pills to start taking, however I need to talk to Jushiro about that." My mother had a sad face "why don't you want children, all of yous were such a blessing to me," I nodded and said "I know but I am still too young, so are you, you could still have children yourself mother, I need more time." I noticed InuKimi nodding her head in agreement with me; Luna made that "awww" sound, obviously wanting to be an aunt. "Maybe you can have some alone time with your beloved and catch up on all the important talk tonight, but no sharing beds or your father will blow a blood vessel, alright?" I nodded in agreement to my mother, who left my room along with InuKimi, only Luna stayed behind to continue talking to me.

"I think you should have a baby, oh come on…" she said as I shook my head no "why not?" she continues trying to get her way "you love him, he loves you and he isn't young you know he will be a great father too." I kept shaking my head no, "Luna I am way too young, and I still have many years of training to do not to mention babies take for ever to grow, we can always have a baby in the future when we are ready…" she cut me off "how do you know, he may want a child, isn't he like eight or nine hundred years old, grandfather taught them many years ago to become soul reapers and he is like over a couple of thousand years old and he created the soul reaper academy…sooo?" I instantly looked at her "maybe if you leave and I can go to Jushiro and talk to him about all of this so we are all on the same page, however we are together for each other, not because we only desire children and this isn't a forced wedding between clans, so I know he will agree with me on this." Luna sighed and got up off of my bed "well I hope for your case you are not taking away something from him just so you can wait longer, time isn't always there for everyone Ren" she closed my bedroom door after walking out. Dam it why is she always right, I am being somewhat selfish not having a child for him, however I still don't feel strong nor old enough to go through that trial in my life yet, and I know Jushiro will agree with me, on this, I'm sure of it. "Well if you're so sure, why are you here talking to yourself like a psycho?" I exhaled "well then maybe I'll go and talk to him right now about it, hmmm?" "Touché."

I could feel my mother and sister wrapping the obi around my waist as I had my eyes closed; it was a comforting feeling knowing this is the first step today, with Jushiro and me getting married and becoming mates. I remembered our conversation last night, after I seeked him out to talk about not having children, he had full hardily agreed with me, as I was still too young and had a lot of training and learning to do. I could hear people arriving down below on the earth that was below our floating island, the caterers, and people setting up the seats, tables and fireworks, I could also hear the captains and other soul reapers arrive to our house, where our marriage will be held first before continuing onto the main feast and activities below our home.

I could smell my mother's eyes tearing up, "I'm so proud of you my eldest, you look so beautiful." She turned me towards her as I opened my eyes, "mother if you cry you know that your makeup will run," "oh dear me" she grabbed a tissue and begun cleaning herself up, I also helped to do Luna's hair as she was my only bridesmaid. Every single guard was on duty and was dressed in their golden sentential armour, and our human wards who live and work for us were dressed up to the nines, just because they were human didn't mean we didn't consider them clan or family.

It wasn't light in the least, this wedding kimono, I also wished grandfather was here to see it, seeing as he was the one to give it to me, I will have to just make sure I get a lot of pictures taken and show him, next time I see him. My wedding ended up becoming a much more larger celebration than I had intended, my mother decided to ask Lieutenant Shuhei if he would do a story on the wedding and allow him to cover what our clan was seeing as our relations with the soul society was stronger than ever and we obviously didn't need to hide anything anymore, she also invited all of the roukongai, which means we were planning on having thousands of people present for the after party. A lot of the captains except for a key few and most Lieutenants were going to be coming and some of the seated and non-seated soul reapers were coming as well, it was best to say that it was an open after party for any and all.

I was walked down to the carpet by my father, all stood and of course I could hear murmurs, Jushiro was smiling and wearing a traditional black male wedding ceremony kimono, I heard his family members and most captains on the right side of the seating arrangement and my family and clan on the left for those who were not on guard duty. I smiled back at Jushiro, and I could feel a hum in my chest, I was finally going to marry my love, once my father handed me over to Jushiro and we stood before an Ukitake clan elder who offered to unite our two clans in matrimony. I didn't notice anything around me, I couldn't hear anything, all my focus was on Jushiro, "I do" he said followed by a pause and then I repeated his words, knowing it was my turn to speak, once all the useless talking was done Jushiro and I embraced with a kiss to seal our married union.

Jushiro and I greeted everyone who arrived to the after party, It was certainly lively and even those children that I saved arrived and said congratulation's too me, "why do you look different to before?" asked the little boy, "that's because I was sealed which changes my looks, this is what I actually look like" "well I think you look beautiful, Lady Serenity" a little girl held her hands behind her back and was smiling up at me "oh aren't you kids sweet, have yous had anything to eat yet? If not go ahead, all you can eat and drink, have fun" they all smiled and said thank you before running over to one of the many tables of food. We mingled with Jushiro's family especially considering that Jushiro hadn't seen them in such a long time and I had never met them in the previous 150 years that I had known Jushiro, they were all nice and polite, just like him. "So Jushiro how has your condition gotten over the years? Is it getting better or any solutions?" asked his lovely sister named Yukio "ah no…but it's been many years Ju" she looked at him alarmed that there was no cure or help for his lungs, to which I knew was because he didn't have any, every time I or Unohana heal him, it only allows his lungs to grow back temporarily before decaying away and disappearing again, if it wasn't for Jushiro having such amazing control over his spirit pressure he would for sure be dead long ago. "But don't worry, my lovely wife keeps me healthy and helps me all the time with healing techniques" he put his hand on the small of my back, "Oh really, so that's how yous two met huh?" I smiled and nodded in agreement "Yes, lady Unohana was one of my many teachers and training me in healing and Jushiro and I crossed paths many times."

"Oh yous two seem like a real life romance novel" she laughed and I joined her, "it does feel like it at times, I never thought that I would meet someone like Jushiro in my life." Yukio nodded her head in agreement with me, over the course of the evening Jushiro migrated to the other captains and reapers and I hunkered down and spoke a lot with Yukio. "Did your family ever disagree with this marriage, seeing as you are so much younger than Jushiro?" I thought for a while "I think that they would have if it was 100 years ago when Jushiro and I first got together and made our bond, but now they are all accepting and more at ease, knowing that I am not some naive child who chose the first man who was nice to me." Yukio looked at me quizzically "Bond, is that because you are a demon, how does that all work?" I sighed internally knowing that this was going to come up or at least once, I went over all the basic information with her to inform her that tomorrow night's ceremony was going to permanently bind us together, I also told her the positives about it and other things. "Oh yes definitely like a romance novel" she said as she giggled with a blush. I excused myself as I was called over by Shuhei to give him information to add to his article, this was followed by me talking to most of the captains one-on-one.

As the night progressed, fireworks were launched and lively drinking and eating continued until the moon was high in the sky, when people started heading home, Jushiro the family and I went back up to our home for the night. This night Jushiro slept in my room and bed, he also helped me out of my kimono, and I put it away in its original box for the time being. I laid my head down on Jushiro's chest, I could hear his breathing, "so that was a big day, ready for the next?" he asked I sighed "yeah very big, I am very excited for tomorrow night, I can't wait to be mated, I was told by my mother that it was a very unique feeling" "hmmm… I never thought about it hurting or feeling good or bad or anything like that, I just think of it as being together." I looked up at my ceiling as he thought, I smiled "you sound like such a romantic, but it does feel good, and weird all at once, just in-case you are wondering," he nodded his understanding. "Say I know that you are the next traveller and your sister a law keeper and that you will be away from me in the future for long or short periods of time, but how long until you start doing that?" he wondered, I myself thought about that a lot of the time, "I don't know, I need to go over all of my kido's again and re-adjust, I need to learn all the lore about our family and all of our history not to mention all the weapons that the traveller needs to use is extensive not just the laws that I am hopelessly useless at and I haven't been in a life or death situation nor have I faced a hollow with high powers one-on-one which is dangerous for me, I am looking to try and complete it all in the next 100 years or so, give or a take a decade." I smiled at him, "I'm so glad that I am finished with my schooling, your grandfather wasn't easy on his students but after all you know that, don't you." He smiled back at me "all too much, peaking of family, your sister is absolutely lovely she also wanted to know if my family didn't approve of you due to our age difference." "oh yes indeed, as much as I love her, and she is polite she loves gossip and getting the information from the source, she is too inquisitive for her own good sometimes," "I don't know your age it was never on your medical information, why is that?"

"Well that's a long story, it is because of Mimihagi, but also because I was born that I age differently to those reapers who came here after dying, that's why some of the captains look more youthful than others such as lady Unohana, I am over 2000 years old same as Kyraku, Unohana and the head captain." I nodded my understanding "that makes so much more sense, I remember grandfather saying he was closer to 3000 years old, so that weird energy I feel in you was because of the right hand of our god?" he nodded his head "my parents begged it to save me so in return for my disease being taken away Mimihagi took my lungs," I hugged him, I knew he didn't have lungs, I noticed that straight away but everyone told me he had lung disease which isn't wrong, so even after all of this time there are still things I don't know and I think with him living over 2000 years, there may always be certain things that I will never know about him, "well hopefully once we are mated, your lungs are back healthy and new" he wrapped his arm around me and lifted one of his dark eyebrows at my statement "I didn't think that it would be possible, I never thought I would be able to breath with healthy lungs again in my life, I came to that conclusion when I was eight years old and my parents had to explain everything to me, all I want is to spend as much time with you as possible." I listened to his 'lungs' as he breathed "honestly it is possible that I may become older and overtake you in age sooner than you think" I stated, again he lifted his eyebrow in question "As I travel the universe time moves differently to where I am to here, this place was chosen as our home, due to the little affect that our travels has on the time here, so I could spend thousands of years away and it could be minutes, years, decades and only hundreds of years, that's what I read anyway, I also will be able to live longer than any other clan member, this is so I can travel and do as much as I can with the time I have in my life." "Wow, that's impressive, your family takes their calling very seriously, but to be honest yous sound more like angels or gods rather than demons, well I will always be here waiting for you to return from every mission you go on." I smiled, leaned up and kissed him, "goodnight, my love", "goodnight, my dearest."

I had a painful feeling in my chest, I looked around the room and I could see him on the floor, with blood spilling all around him and up of his mouth, I kneeled down and I rolled him over to his back, once I saw his face I had confirmed my fear, it was Jushiro, I put my ear too his chest knowing that he was dead due to feeling his body had gotten cold already, how long had he been here dead, face down, I could feel emptiness inside my chest, something dark and void, I knew there was a battle ragging in the heavens above as I closed my eyes and I could hear those wishing to not 'going out like this' in the distance, when I opened my eyes, Jushiro's eyes were open and he was looking up at me and he said "come on my love wake up."

I opened my eyes and I could feel my body jolt, I could hear birds outside, and see my bed spread put before me, I could feel Jushiro's hand on my back, I turned and looked at him incredibly like all that happened wasn't just a dream, I hugged him, and he held me obviously taken aback by my movements "are you alright, you seem un-nerved" 'I'm in my room, I'm home and he's right here, it was a dream, but it felt so real' I thought as I held him "Yes it was just a bad dream, nothing to worry about, okay." I smiled at him and finally let him go, I looked out the window "what's the time, he seems so late in the day?" He nodded, "you ended up sleeping in till three in the afternoon, I was going to wake you when I got up, but thought that you may have needed the sleep in," I finally let him go and went about bounding around the room to get a dress to wear around the house until preparing for the mating ceremony later that night.

I heard a knock at the door, my sister came in, "Is everything alright?" she asked, worrying for me, as the only time I ever need to sleep a lot is because of the new moon, "Someone, thought it was necessary to catch up on beauty sleep" Jushiro announced, I blushed at his response and Luna "ohhhed" before saying "trying to look as good as you can tonight," which made me go red in the face and the pointed tips of my ears.

We ended up having a very late afternoon, lunch in the flowery fields, we sat on a pick-nick blanket with tea, sandwiches and biscuits, "So where are yous going for your honeymoon, I remember father saying you were going to take a month or so?" Luna asked us "we were planning on going to Bor…." Jushiro was cut off as we all gasped, we could feel the massive amount of pressure being exerted from the Seireitai, "that's Sasakibe…why is he using his bankai?" Jushiro worded and as quickly as it started, it stopped, we tried to sense him but I couldn't feel him at all, but I noticed a different energy at the same time as Sasakibe's energy raised through the roof, it was that weird feeling in my chest again that became apparent as I felt the same weird energy, in my mind's eye I saw Jushiro dead on the floor. This was very worrying, my father and Shiro came out of the house to stand next to both Jushiro and a few of our guards who came closer to our position, looking of into the direction the energy had come from. I stood up next to Jushiro and my family, "can you feel him anymore?" I asked out loud seeing if anyone can answer, it was father that responded "no, that's because he is dead, I can feel death in the air and sorrow along with anger, did you feel that other energy?" He asked me, I nodded and said "I felt this before, it's more of a feeling than anything, it's disgusting like empty vat of nothing" I noticed a hell butterfly flew up and over the edge of our land and straight towards Jushiro, I instantly was saddened, knowing that he was going to be called back to the Seireitai to deal with these events.

Everything was quite as the butterfly landed on his outstretched hand, I could hear Kagura say "his zanpakuto killed him" I looked down to my right hip, normally this is where Kagura always is sitting, I grasped the air, calling her to me and she materialized out of the air and into my hand, I noticed my father looking at me very sharply. "It seems the 1st Lieutenant Chojiro Sasakibe is dead, and the soul society has had war claimed against us, by those calling themselves Sternritter's who Quinces and Sasakibe was their first victim." Jushiro finished , I had a really bad feeling "and you were called to help deal with this enemy…" before I could continue father butted in "And this has an intervention from us, only if we are called upon by the soul king, will we step in" he said as he looked at me, I lightly nodded my head, "I must head back straight away, they need me for a meeting in anything we can find on them, they don't even know how they got inside of the Seireitai " Jushiro turned to me to say goodbye, "Serenity, they are always there, they can hear everything, they know everything, I need to go to them, to help as many as I…we can, convince your father, please, I know how to help, please Serenity" I looked down at my Zanpakuto I was wide eyed, she was begging me to help our allies, and even to go against my father. I looked back up to Jushiro, and said "I understand you are needed in this time of crises….but I must accompany you to at least give you information that Kagura has collected, it seems she wants to help our allies." I finished, halfway through father tried to stop me from saying I was going, "you can tell the information to Jushiro, you are not ready to fight in this manner Ren!" Father seemed angry Jushiro being the peace keeper said "I must agree you don't need to or half to fight in a war that isn't yours, I'm sure that Kagura can give me the information to pass on?"

I thought for a while, "Please Ren, we need to be there" I thought back to her, 'we can go later when we are really needed as father isn't going to let us leave.' "Kagura said that Sasakibe's zanpakuto killed him and that the enemy are already inside but on the other side…" I said looking confused; everyone was silent for a while "what she means is that they are in the mirror world to ours, which they have been hiding in, it keeps them concealed from yous…yeah it is shrouded in their energy…my god Kagura you couldn't explain this any better could you?" I asked out loud Jushiro nodded and said "I know what she is trying to explain, it makes a lot more sense than them being able to get pass the seki-seki barrier, but about the Zanpakuto, that doesn't make sense however we once had a foe who managed to turn our zanpakuto against us once before, maybe this is something similar?" He wondered aloud, I placed my free hand on his arm, "you better get there as soon as possible to help, but you be careful okay" "of course my dear" he responded and kissed my forehead. Luna came up beside us and said "I've learned to use the 'Jump Law' I can get you there and myself back in seconds, if you want, the sooner they get this information the better," we all looked up to Father and he sighed and just nodded "but you come back immediately, am I clear?" "Of course father, I don't want to be somewhere vulnerable to the enemies of our friends."

Luna stood with the middle and pointy finger pressed to her forehead, with Jushiro placing his hand on her shoulder, I heard her say "I invoke Jump" and she was gone as if they had never been there to begin with. Luna and Jushiro arrive in the middle of the meeting room, with all of the Captains present and standing in their nice neat rows, there were a lot of 'ahh and ohhs' heard, some even putting their hands on the hilt of their zanpakuto's, Jushiro lifted his hand, to gesture all to stand down, he turned to Luna "thank-you for your assistance lady Luna" Luna smiled and waved goodbye, and said "Anytime, see ya's later" and she disappeared with the same incantation and motion of her hand on her forehead. Luna arrived in front of father and I, she was literally gone for 5 seconds, I looked over surprised "so that is the Jump law, you have learned a lot recently, why is that?" She had the most proud smile on her face, that is because I am pushy myself to learn and master them faster than I normally would but also if I only lived the amount of years a normal human would, like I was suppose too, I would have them all down to pat in 15 to 20 years tops, so I think it's time to learn them all, it's not like we will always have the time." She looked back into the direction of the Seireitai with a sad look on her face. "Did it seem bad?" I asked and she nodded in response "yes they were frightened and on high alert, even nearly drawing their swords at our arrival, those quinces literally got the jump on them. I looked at their direction that horrible feeling in my chest rising again, father had left back to our manner, I really need to get to them and help especially with Kagura practically begging me, she does push me to learn Bankai and to continue training but she has never beg to go towards a possible war zone in the past and she isn't dumb enough to, so that sold me on us needing to help the soul society, "I know what you are thinking and I think it's time I teach you another law, this one can be useful in the future for certain circumstances, if you know what I mean" she winked at me, I should have known that she knew exactly what I was thinking and planning on doing, after all our mischievousness ran in the family.
