Walking on The Line

Chapter 10: Back to Earth

"Kill her Gin." Aizen repeated.

"DON'T YOU IGNORE ME!" Seiren yelled in a half scream and half growl.

"It can't be helped. Shoot her, Shinsou." Ichimaru Gin said lightly.

"DAMMIT!!" Yelled Seiren as she clutched her head. Her anger was getting to her. The dragons were starting to act up. She was desperately trying to suppress them but it was difficult. She knew she couldn't let any death gods know about the beasts within her. At least, not yet. But at the same time, she knew she couldn't possibly think of killing Aizen without this power. Aizen had disabled Renji and Ichigo from fighting him in possibly 5 seconds flat! Getting frustrated certainly didn't help with suppressing her dragons. Time was running out as Gin's sword approached Rukia. Within millimeters of Rukia's back, the blade was knocked off course by a single high-speed icicle.

Everyone looked over to the source of the icicle. Seiren had one finger pointed in the air while looking down at the ground gasping. The light blue energy around her faded away as she collapsed. She was just barely clinging to her consciousness again. At that moment, Kuchiki Byakuya took the opportunity to save his sister in law. Aizen glared at Seiren. He started to move towards her but he was instantly surrounded by the captains and vice captains of the gotei 13. Aizen laughed.

"What's so funny?" Asked Shihouin Yoruichi

"It's time." Aizen said darkly.

The sky above them cracked and was ripped open by many menos grande. They carried the three captains out of Soul Society through the hole in the sky. The instant the hole closed, the 4th squad (medical team) jumped into action. Within all the commotion, Seiren managed to quietly slip away. She knew they would notice she was gone. She had finished scaling the face of the cliff and had slipped back into the forest. She turned on her mind power to check for nearby death gods. Luckily, there were none. But unfortunately, some death gods on the cliff had already noticed her disappearance and the news was spreading FAST. Seiren knew she had to get out of soul society somehow. She consulted Hoshikuro her zanpakutos.

'Help me! How do I get out of this place?!'

'Well, you could open a Senkaimon (world piercing gate)…'

'HOW?!' Seiren asked her katana mentally.

'Point me forwards, concentrate your energy into me and twist your wrist while saying open'

"Okay. Here it goes…" Seiren mumbled while pointing one of her zanpakutos in front of her.

"OPEN!" Seiren said while twisting her wrist. A flash of light appeared and 2 sliding doors opened before her. 'I guess this is it isn't it.' Thought Seiren to herself. 'Oh shit! What about my body?! It's still in the 10th division's prison! Aw man!' She shut the senkaimon and jumped up into the trees. It would be very difficult to hide her presence, not be seen and find her way back to the prison all at the same time. Since she had forgotten where the 10th division's building was, she was forced to jump on roofs to get a better view. Seiren was spotted almost instantly. She had almost forgotten that she was still a wanted criminal for unleashing some evil stuff or something. She ran to the prison with death gods following about 5 feet behind her. She jumped into her body, opened the senkaimon and ran in. Leaving behind the frightening world of shinigami.

She appeared in the forest of Konoha. Seiren breathed a sigh of relief and walked back into the village. She had surprisingly only been gone for one night. The first person she found was Naruto.

"SEIREN! Where have you been?! There was a search party assigned to find you last night!"

"Really? Uh…"

"Oh yeah! I need to bring you to hokage so that the search can be cancelled!" Naruto yelled. He grabbed her wrist and almost dragged her to the hokage's office.

"HOKAGE! I found Seiren! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto yelled excitedly as they burst into his office. The rest of team 7 was also there talking to hokage. They turned around surprised that the most hyper ninja of Konoha had found the missing ninja.

"Seiren! I was so worried!" Sakura said while hugging her tightly. Seiren was surprised. Since when did Sakura care about what happened to her? But that wasn't the problem here. 'What am I supposed to tell them?!' Seiren thought in panic. It's not like she could tell them the truth. She didn't even think they would believe her even if she told the truth.

'It's too early to tell them the truth.' Hoshikuro mentally told her.

'But what do I tell them? I know I suck at lying!'

'Well, too bad. You have to lie.' And with that, Hoshikuro cut off their mental conversation.

"Well? Seiren where did you go?" Asked hokage.

"I couldn't get to sleep last night so I went for a walk. I went into the forest and I think I fell asleep there…"

"Ah. I see. Even though you aren't supposed to go outside after hours." Said Hokage.

"Yes… I'm sorry." Seiren said while looking away nervously.

"Alright. Don't do it again. You're dismissed." Team seven walked out of the office.

Hokage knew Seiren was lying since Sasuke had said that she screamed and she was in her room when she mysteriously disappeared when he showed up.

"Hey Seiren! You wanna come eat ramen with me?" Naruto asked cheerfully.

"No thanks. I'm kinda tired…" Seiren said when she noticed she didn't sleep for the whole night. She walked back to her room to rest.

'Actually, I think I should move to a different place. The death gods have already been here. They might come to my room again…' Seiren thought. She sat on her bed and leaned her head against the wall. 'Where could I possibly go live…'

A/N: YAY! This chapter wasn't so bad actually! I grew tired of waiting for some reviews to help me make a decision in my last chapter. :p I'm not sure how long it will take to write another chapter because I'm kind of short on ideas right now. -Neesa
