Soul society. A world where, as the name suggests, holds residence for the souls that pass on from the living world. Generally a calm place for the most part, and just like the living world, many areas ridden in poverty but also wealthy classes of people. Of course, there is also the Seireitei, which for lack of better terms, is the government and place of military practices. It has had it's share of turmoil, and 'crisis'. However, no one was, or could have been, prepared for the chaos that would infect the whole of Seireitei when the research and development lab made a crucial mistake in security and biochamber upkeep. Not even Yamamoto could have seen it coming.
...
"Seireitei is hereby under lock down, no one is to come or leave Soul Society. Even the cleaners are to be halted. These orders come from head captain!"
"Yes captain!" The second squad members bowed and made their way out of the barracks following SoiFon.
Apparently when Ichigo had left, the little captains had completed rebelled against all authority. Byakuya was the ring leader it seemed. Shunsui had done his best to stop them, as did Renji. But they werent ready for the binding kido that Byakuya had used on them. Of course, Byakuya was a master at kido. Unohana had then promptly knocked the two out! There was no telling what this little group of terrors could do. Thankfully Kurotsuchi was still in the infirmary, so he was still safe with adults caring for him. And Toshiro had found it too annoying and "stupid" to go along with it. Rangiku was too busy dressing him up in cute outfits that squad four had made for them. But the others were somewhere in the Seireitei. Again. The task force was spread through the entirety of the Seireitei, searching for them. Unohana was a problem though, being a medical expert, she threw kido blasts at precise points to ultimately knock out anyone that came to stop them. The remaining captains didn't know what the little ones' plans were, but they were raising hell. Well, actually, they weren't. That was the problem. Between Byakuya and Retsu, the little gang had managed to knock out at least a dozen shinigami so far. But the problem now was that no one had seen hide or tail of them for almost two hours. And the Seireitei was on high alert. With almost their entire squad forces out of commission, they were extremely vulnerable. If anyone outside of Soul Society were to find out.
...
"Let's go. " Byakuya instructed, Ukitake was on Kenpachi's back the way Yachiru would have been, Unohana nodded and walked with their leader into the under ground tunnels. Which they knew there would be people searching for them down there too, but Kuchiki had a plan.
After the children made their way down the damp and musty halls, Byakuya stopped them after about a mile of traipsing and opened the Senkaimon, he knew that the task force would detect it on the monitors, but they wouldn't be able to get to them in time. Carefully the little captains stepped through and Byakuya lead them down the skinny pathway through the tunnel at a quick dash.
"Come on, baka Yamamoto sama will have them coming after us. Don't fall, if you do I can't save you." Little Byakuya said in his child-like voice and glanced back at his followers.
"Byakuya kun, are you sure we can make it?" Unohana asked as she ran her way through the darkness on the light path. "Our spiritual pressure isn't as stable...see.." She observed as she looked at the edges of the path which was fraying and cracking as they sprinted.
"Hm..." Byakuya muttered as he noticed it as well. He knew that if they started to grow weary the path could shatter or evaporate entirely. But then he got an idea. In one quick leap he jumped up and did a careful back flip and landed easily on his feet in the back of the group as they ran and in one swift movement unlocked Kenpachi's suppressor collar, which fell and disintegrated in the abyss.
It wasn't even a second later that blinding yellow-gold energy exploded from Kenpachi's entire body. The child maniac grinned excitedly and took off at lightning speed down the path, easily jumping over Unohana as she was running, and laughing hysterically.
"Byakuya-nii, are you sure that was okay to do?" Unohana asked quietly as her and Byakuya were forced to flash step within running just to keep up with Kenny.
"Watch.." He replied and looked down at the path and the two looked on as it became wider and brighter. Not to mention just a little more stable at the sides. Unohana smiled happily at the boys genius but gasped when suddenly the four launched out of the tunnel and found themselves in the sky, falling down towards Karakura town.
They were shocked to have been let out so quickly, they'd only been in the tunnel for about ten to fifteen minutes! And with the lack of stable reiatsu, they had been sure it would take much longer for them to reach the end of the bridge.
"Aaahh!" Ukitake screamed in fear and clung onto Kenpachi for dear life. Just before they hit the ground though a young voice spoke out of seemingly no where.
"Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru...!"
At that moment a very large and very cold ice dragon cought them in its clutches and carefully lowered them to the ground safely before shattering into ice particles and evaporating.
"Tsk...you guys are so stupid.." Toshiro insulted as he got face to face with Byakuya, and despite Toshiro's advance by one year, the Kuchiki boy was still taller than him. "You guys have the whole soul society in...in...in craziness!" Toshiro shouted rather childishly.
"Tooooshirooooooo!" Rangiku yelled from across the street and smiled happily when she was able to glomp her little captain. "Hmhm, that was a great save Taichou!" She announced, but Toshiro just sighed. "You know, it wasn't easy getting these back." He said as he handed out the zanpakuto, except for Jushiro's.
Byakuya raised a brow and pondered for a moment.
"Why did you come after us? And how did you stop the others?" Byakuya questioned as he clutched his sword. The wind began to pick up a little and brought an icy cold with it. This time of year was always getting cold.
"Tch... I wanna find Ichigo too. And its not easy to grab someone when you're buried in eight feet of snow. Hmph. " The little icy boy said as if it were a stupid thing to ask. "I wanna be big again! I don't wanna have to listen to anyone!"
"Heh...well come on guys..I guess since I'm the oldest I'll be in charge.."Rangiku said, but this instantly set off Byakuya. Kenpachi just stood back and was feeling immensely bored as the boy and girl argued. Toshiro tried to pry the two apart but just ended up in the fight as well. Kenny instead just walked off, carrying little Ukitake along with him on his back.
...
"Kenchi...I want nummies.."Ukitake asked after an hour of wandering around Karakura. He had a bit of a hard time speaking clearly, especially Kenny's name. Some two year old to three year olds are excellent in that area of development, but little Jushiro just wasn't quite there. Still he was much better at it than little Mayuri.
"Yeah...I'm hungry too..." Kenny thought as he walked by a bakery with a glorious wedding cake in the display window. He then looked around and smiled at Jushiro. "Haha...that looks pretty good..."
Ukitake smiled a toothy grin from ear to ear and laughed. "Haha! Cake!"
"Heh..okay. Cake it is.." Kenny smiled and took his sword from it's sheeth (which was as tall as he was) and used the hilt to smash the glass window. Various gasps and screams were heard and people rushed out of the shop in a frenzy, not sure what was happening. Careful not to cut himself on the edges of the window Kenny picked up the cake as best he could but ended up dropping it from the weight, so instead he set down the white haired boy. "Eat up.." He shrugged and looked down at the glass. Using a pie knife that had also been on display, the five year old began taking bites of the delightful wedding cake. Inside it was a soft red velvet and the outside was a deep red and white. definitely a very sought after dessert. As the kids continued to eat, a funny feeling was welling up deep in Zaraki's gut. He smiled hugely as he tilted his head back and licked the frosting off of his fingers.
"...hehehehehehe..." The child chuckled to himself and with each breath he took to breathe, more and more golden reiatsu pulsed from his small body. Ukitake was oblivious to it surprisingly enough, he just continued covering himself in cake whilst trying to get some in his mouth. As well as play with it.
Kenpachi clutched his sword tighter and flash stepped into the shop and began slicing and chopping everything. The store owner ran into the front and screamed hiding down under a display table and dialed the cops on his cell. Kenny was in a complete craze as he braced his reishi overload and brought the shop to ruins. Kenpachi on a sugar high was nearly cataclysmic. However, once he heard the sirens he was at least smart enough to pick up Jushiro and take off. Erupting with boisterous child-like laughter the whole way. Of course, he chopped down every light pole along the way causing the whole west side of the city to have a black out.
...
Storm clouds had been rolling in all day from the east, and Ichigo was just opening his eyes a bit when the faint sound of thunder crept from the distance. He couldn't quite place where he was, who he was, or anything for that matter. His mind was nothing but blank. So he just laid there with half lidded eyes and looked out at the darkening clouds outside his window.
"He's been in there long enough!" A boys voice growled from somewhere unseen.
"Our orders were to let him sleep though..." That was a faint girls voice. Ichigo wanted to know what, or who they were, but at the same time his mind was still so sedated he didn't care about anything.
The peace was bliss as he laid there in the shadowed room with the cloudy light from outside casting a comforting glow. But a part of him was starting to remember. Starting to remember the things that happened before this peace. What was the guys name? He saw the guys face, but...
"Oi! Ichigo! Wake up already!" A massively annoying voice bellowed from outside the room and then it wasn't half a second later that it slammed open. Ichigo was more with the world now as he sat up and fumed with his irritation. "Hehe, hey strawberry, you know if you sleep too much you'll get fat...heh...and you won't get any girls..." The red headed boy snickered evilly as he leaned in nose to nose with the still partially tranquilized shinigami substitute. "Heh, you're almost worse then that moocher friend of y-"
Ichigo send evil vibes to the boy as he grabbed the childs shirt front dangerously. However he did so without ever looking up at him. Jinta was surprised when the visard actually seemed kinda scary. "Brats should learn to keep their mouths shut..." Ichigo growled in an echoed voice as he made his way onto wobbly feet, the boy dangled from Ichigo's grasp on his shirt.
"Uh...J...Jinta..." Ururu stuttered nervously right as Tessai walked in and looked at the sight. Ichigo standing but his head down and his face hidden as he held Jinta by the front of his shirt.
Golden eyes on black peered up at Jinta's dark ones and the man grinned maniacally at the boy.
"Put me down ya damn freak!" Jinta yelled as he squirmed and tried to free himself. Shirosaki simply smirked and tossed the boy aside easily, the child smashed through the wall and crashed into the front room of the shop. Wincing and groaning in pain. Ururu gasped and ran to him and immediately began assessing his condition.
Shirosaki stretched and popped his neck, then stretched out his arms as if he'd slept for years.
"Hmhm...it's good to be back...looks like your friend Ichigo can't control me right now. Heh..." The hollow smiled as he looked on at Tessai.
