Chapter: 10
Thank you to all who have reviewed!
Much thanks to Genesis Beautiful Soul for helping me out with parts of this chapter! But no thanks goes out to your creepy stories! :)
The fight scene in this chapter, I hope isn't too bad. I don't know how to write fighting scenes but I did my best! Hopefully everyone enjoys!
Byakuya stared at the now off monitor. Kyo was there... and so was Senbonzakura. Byakuya had thought that the spirit had died when he did. The noble didn't understand but he was happy that the spirit lived.
He lifted a pale hand to the necklace that protected him from the harmful waves of spirit energy. He wondered if he would ever be able to live in the Seireitei again, to see his home, to smell the sweet scents of the different kinds of flowers and walk beneath the moon and stars, following the all too familiar garden path.
Will I ever live with Kyo? And if I do return what would everyone think? What will Renji think?
The noble lifted himself off of the bed.
I won't know if I stay here. This place is only a prison, a hell.
Byakuya looked around the room. The door was locked. He saw a clear sliding door leading to a balconey. He tried to turn the knob but found that it was locked as well. He made his way back towards the bed. He needed to find a way out...
I could break the glass of the sliding door.
The raven haired man picked up a book from the nightstand and threw it to the balconey's door. Byakuya was shocked to see the book go through the door and land on the other side. He walked over to the door and placed a hand on it. his hand touched glass.
This room has been set up so that there would be no way for me to escape. What do I do if I cannot get out? I cannot allow Kyo fight a battle that he's not suppose to... I will never let him fight my own battle! I need a way out! Please...
Byakuya turned as he heard the door leading to the hall way opened.
"Senbonzakura, do you know where he's being held?" Kyo asked as he followed the spirit behind a rock.
"I am not sure." Senbonzakura said, "I can no longer sense my master clearly."
"Do you think you would feel him if you were inside the building?" The youth asked.
"I do not know, but..." Senbonzakura looked at Kyo, "I believe that you may be able to sense him if you were closer."
"Because he's my uncle?" Kyo asked.
"No." The spirit said, "I have already told you, my master is not your uncle."
"Right because Rukia Kuchiki is not my mother." Kyo said with an eye roll, "So then if I am not related to Byakuya Kuchiki how am I even connected enough to sense him?"
"I never said you are not related." The masked warrior said shaking his head, "You have the Kuchiki blood flowing through your veins. You are related to my master but you have yet to come to the right answer."
Kyo repeated the spirit's words in his mind. Kyo tried to come up with the 'right answer' but it wouldn't come. The youth wanted to ask but he saw that Senbonzakura was busy watching the posting of the guards. He looked out at the guards as well. The red head saw that there were two Arrancars, each standing on one side of the large white door. He also noticed low level hollows on the roof.
"Are you ready?" Senbonzakura asked suddenly.
"Yes." Kyo answered, "What's the plan?"
"We will have to fight our way in."
"Are you crazy?" The the red haired youth asked.
"We must move now." Senbonzakura said ignoring Kyo's question.
Senbonzakura moved away from the rock. He flashed stepped to the guards, swiftly taking them to the ground. Kyo moved out from behind the rock as he saw many of the guards on the roof taking notice and drawing their weapons. He shot a fire kido at one that approached the masked warrior. Alarms began to ring around the area. Kyo felt the rise of hollow reiatsu's rise in the distance. It was making it's way towards the two.
"Fight." Senbonzakura said simply.
The youth nodded his head, he pulled out his Zanpakuto and stood in a fighting stance.
Kyo could see the army of hollows slowly making their way across the sands. The spirit quickly charged against the army once they were close enough. The red head slashed at the hollows.
He stood not too far from Senbonzakura and could see the skilled moves of the masked man.
"Hado 31, Shakkaho" The youth fired red energy at a close by hollow. He slashed with his sealed Zanpakuto. The enemy had numbers but weren't very strong.
The red head turned his head as the doors to Las Noches opened. Two Arrancars stepped out onto the sand. Senbonzakura flashed stepped to Kyo's side. Kyo shook at the sight of the two Arrancars.
"I will fight them." Senbonzakura said stepping forward, "Scatter."
Kyo watched as the blade disolved into tiny petals. The petals made their way toward the enemy. He watched the petals rain down at the two Arrancars. Senbonzakura's blade reformed and he began a series of slashes at the enemies. Kyo watched in amazement. The young shinigami barely blocked an attacker from behind.
"Almost got you." An Arrancar with green hair and the hollow bone covering his jaw, laughed.
Kyo flashed stepped back, making distance between the new Arrancar and himself. The red head sensed that the enemy was very powerful and beyond anything he's ever had to face.
I have never been face to face with an enemy this powerful. If I attack straight on I'm the one whose going to get killed.
Kyo moved out of the way as the green haired attacker slash down at him again and caught his arm before the red head escaped.
"Hado 31, Shakkaho!" Kyo fired at the Arrancar and moved farther away. His back touched a wall of the building.
"What was that?" The Arrancar asked with a smile.
"...the wrath of your claws, Hado #33, Soukatsui!" Blue energy shot out of the youth's hands as he finished the incantation and directly hit the apporaching enemy.
Kyo flashed stepped away and raised his blade. He watched the Arrancar appear again not laughing anymore. He opened his mouth and red energy began to form. A cero.
"Tengoku no hogo Tennyo Kiyomi!" Kyo said quickly, raising a clear pink shield. The cero hit the shield. The shield held but the force threw Kyo backwards. He was thrown onto the ground. Kyo realized that the ground that he layed on was not sand. Looking up he saw white doors closing. He picked himself up and tried to make it to the other side before the doors slid completely shut, but didn't get there in time.
"Where's the damn handle?" Kyo whispered to himself as he ran his hands over the flat surface.
"There is no handle." A male voice said from behind.
Kyo turned and froze as he saw a man with brown hair making his way down a set of stairs.
"You're..." The youth whispered in disbelief.
"I am Sosuke Aizen." The man said, "Welcome to Las Noches, Kyo."
Byakuya watched as the former captain of squad three entered the room. His heart dropped as he heard the lock clicking into place.
"Why that face Byakuya? Gin asked with a smile, "I have never done anything wrong to you."
Byakuya remembered everything clearly. He remembered his last moments before being made into a human.
"No, let me go!" The noble yelled as two Arrancar level hollows had each of his arms and were dragging him down the halls. He had heard him. He heard the cry of a baby...his baby. Byakuya had been so close to seeing his son again after Aizen had seperated them. The Arrancars draggged him into a room. They roughly layed him onto the examination table and place Kido restraints on the noble. They walked out of the room leaving Byakuya alone. He wanted to see his son more than anything. Tears slid down the sides of his face, he wanted to see that beautiful face again, to look down at the almost smiling face. He wanted to kiss Kyo's searching fingertips and to hold him when he cried. It was his own fault that he and Kyo were captured. After giving birth to Kyo he was weakened. He should have listened to Renji about getting guards outside the room. He knew that Aizen was around and that he had weird feelings for the him but he was too happy holding his just born son and thought he was safe in the Seireitei. The noble turned his head as he the door opened and Aizen walked in with Gin by his side. "Byakuya, you cannot see him until I say you can." Aizen said walking closer to the noble, "You have to prove to me that you will forever be mine. The three of us can be very happy once I take over the throne. All you have to do is prove to me that you want me." "I want my son and Renji!" Byakuya yelled trying to break the Kido. Byakuya's head flew to the side as Aizen punched him. "Don't ever say that name again." Aizen said, "It's shocking that even weak as you are and retrained by a Kido you would even mention that Rukon trash. You deserve so much more than what he could give you. You deserve a place beside a king." Byakuya didn't answer. "But I won't be able to to give you that place if you are taken away." The former captain of squad 5 said, "We need a way so that you will not be sensed. Gin is going to turn you into a human for a little bit." "A human?" Byakuya shook his head. Gin turned on a machine in the room. The table that Byakuya layed on was then covered by a clear wall. Heat began to touch the noble's skin and he felt like his body was ripping apart. He screamed in pain until everything turned black.
Byakuya charged at the smiling man and took him to the ground. He held Gin down with his body.
"You are the one whose to blame for turning me into a human!" Byakuya struck the silver haired man soundly across the face with his fist.
He locked his hands around Gin's neck. Gin quickly overturned the noble and was now the one on top. He held Byakuya's hand on each side of the noble's head.
"That was not very smart of you, Byakuya." Gin said a smile reappearing on his face, "Now that I have you down, I could chose to kill you for hitting me."
"Then kill me. I am not afraid." The noble shot back.
"Hmm...maybe I should do something more enjoyable?" The silver haired man said.
Byakuya shivered at the thought. Gin moved closer to his ear.
"No one will hear you." The traitor whispered, "This room is locked to everyone except for Aizen and right now he's welcoming your son. There is no one that can save you."
He ran his hands to the tie on the noble's waist. The silver haired man then picked himself up and walked toward the door.
"It's funny because Aizen always says that a snake is never to be trusted." Gin said with a small laugh, "Yet his eyes are not watching the snake right now."
"Wha-" Byakuya began before being interupted.
"For my reasons..." Gin interupted, "I am going to help you."
"I haven't seen you since the day that you were last here...13 years ago." Aizen said walking closer to Kyo.
"Stay away." The youth firmly said raising his blade.
"Oh, and what exactly will you do with that blade?" Aizen asked, "Use that pathetic Tennyo on me? It is a beautiful move but there are too many flaws in the shikai. It can only trap and destroy one enemy at a time not very good when dealing with groups."
"I only need to trap and kill one enemy." Kyo said angrily, "Amakudaru Ten-"
"That is not nesessary." Aizen said appearing in front of Kyo and grabbing his Zanpakuto and throwing it to the side, "Answer me this question first and then I will take you to see Bya."
Kyo stayed silent and glared at the brown haired man that stood in front of him. His body shook softly but he forced himself to stay as still as he could.
"Who was the man with you?" Aizen then asked, "He had petal blades that looked liked Senbonzakura? His reiatsu felt a little like Byakuya's. Who is he?"
"Maybe he is Byakuya Kuchiki." Kyo told Aizen.
"You know very well that Byakuya is here in this building." The brown haired man said, "You have come here because you want to save your fa-"
"My uncle." Kyo finished, "I don't care what anyone says but he's my uncle...he's my friend and I will fight until he is out of here."
Aizen blinked his eyes for a minute and thought it out until he came to the answer.
"I did hear about Renji marrying Rukia after Byakuya's death." Said the leader of the hollows, "You poor thing, you were never told the real truth were you?"
"Truth?"
"He is not your uncle." The leader said, "Byakuya Kuchiki is your father."
