Bleach - Chaotic Rest

Chapter Ten - The Mission

It wasn't long before the three of them found a soul. They were in a small village. The buildings looking as they did back in the Rukongai district, but the people were all smiling and happy. It seemed as if they were happy with their contemporary lifestyle. Because of this, the soul they found was attached to his home.

His soul chain was wrapped around the building that the group assumed to be the area in which he used to live. He was screaming and moaning, "I don't want to leave! Don't take me away from my home!" The two children were baffled with the soul. They'd hate having to leave a place as wonderful as this too.

Nakura laughed and decided to sit down, preparing for a long wait. He turned and looked at the captain to which he was assigned to work with. "So Captain Tousen, should we expect to see something soon? Maybe a different soul would do better.," Nakura stated.

Tousen, his blinded eyes concentrated on the soul, replied, "No. We are to continue watching this soul. Soon, it will turn into a hollow. This is how hollows are born, remember? There is no point in leaving if we know where to find one. Besides, we may also find him to be a good enough example as to what we are looking for here in the human world."

He sighed and the three of them sat where they were and watched the soul as it screamed in pain.

*****************

Back in the Soul Society, Myko and Kiraku were taking a stroll towards Captain Hitsugaya's quarters. Myko, feeling much better, felt he'd have a conversation with his favorite captain. Kiraku thought it'd be best to follow him.

Captain Hitsugaya saw the two of them walking together towards his room and decided to stop them. "Well hello there. How are you two today?"

The two turned and saw him standing there, smiling at them. Their faces shined as they ran over and hugged him.

"Captain, Captain, look, Myko's all better now!" Kiraku shouted in his ear.

Myko let go of him and stood straight up and smiled. "Yup, just look at me. I feel like I could take on five hollows and then some."

"Don't get overconfident. That's what got you hurt in the first place," Kiraku scolded. He sighed and looked at the ground.

Hitsugaya laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. Captain Zaraki is a powerful captain. In fact, the name Zaraki is given to those who are the most powerful in a their clan. You should feel honored that he didn't kill you."

Myko looked at his captain and smiled.

"However," he continued, "Kiraku is right. You should be careful. The fact you're living doesn't mean you go recklessly running into danger. Think about what you're doing next time, alright?"

Myko nodded and smiled. A woman's laugh could be heard as well. The three of them turned to see who made the laugh. They saw a big breasted woman with red hair laughing, her open kimono showing her breasts bouncing.

"So cute Captain, helping out the little kids," the woman said.

"Shut up. Listen kids, today is the last day you're going to be able to take it so easy. Tomorrow, Kiraku will begin cleaning the entire Seireitei, and Myko will have to learn to fight better. It's not going to be easy. Come on Matsumoto." He walked off with the woman following. The two kids sighed and waited for the return of their friends.

******************

Back with Nakura and Leo, the three of them were still watching the soul. Leo had fallen asleep, Nakura was playing with a caterpillar, and Tousen was concentrating on the mission at hand. He sighed and said, "Will you two stop goofing around and pay attention."

The two of them slowly awoke from their dazed state and sat straight up again. "Man," Leo said, "this is too boring to stay awake. Can't we get assigned a better mission? Besides, why would we need a captain on a mission this simple?"

The soul shouted and roared as the hole finally opened completely. He screamed in agony as his body was being covered in an odd, white spiritual pressure covered him.

"Well, you wanted action," Tousen replied.

"What's happening!? Is-is he turning into a hollow!?" Nakura asked.

Tousen remained silent. He jumped up and killed the hollow in a single swing. With his back turned, blade still unsheathed, he said, "Why not ask Leo?"

Nakura turned to look at Leo. Leo had his face turned away.

"Kaname, that's enough. I'll take over from here."

Nakura turned to see Aizen and a white haired man standing next to each other.

"You! You're the guy who's been getting on my nerves…" He growled. He unsheathed his sword and charged at the captain.

Tousen stopped him in an instant, "Stop and think about what you're doing. Attacking another Soul Reaper?"

He jumped back, spat, and sheathed his blade. Aizen walked up to the boy and said, "It's fine. As for your friend Leo, seeing as how Tousen let too much information out, is a hollow."

Nakura grew angrier, "That's a lie! We've known each other since the day we came to the Soul Society! Come on Leo, tell 'em!"

Leo clenched his fist and turned back to Aizen. He walked to his side and said, "You're right. I wasn't always a hollow. But…I met Aizen…he told me he could give me power. So, I let him. I am the only hollow that doesn't have a mask."

"And it's all because this little psycho chose to be a hollow. Isn't that something!?" The white haired man laughed.

"Enough Gin. Now then, Nakura, being a hollow isn't a bad thing. I've trained Leo beyond that of any Soul Reaper and he can completely control his hollow form. You can join your friend. What do you say?"

Nakura was silent. He had always been taught that hollows were evil and it was his duty as a Soul Reaper to defeat any and all hollows. Now that his best friend was a hollow, he had no idea what to think.

"Come on, let's go." Aizen said, Tousen, Gin, and turning with him.

"Wait! I'll….do it. I'll be a hollow."

"Excellent. Follow us," he said. A giant black hole tore open in front of him making an evil sound. The five of them walked through.
