In Her Service
~Years before Kisukes banishment~
Kisuke Urahara had done it, he had created a device that could evolve and improve all living things.
The Hogyoku
It was a small glass cube containing a glowing purple sphere in the middle. He pondered the possibilities that this could bring. Zanpaktous could be advanced, the already vast majority of shinigami spells could expand even further, soul society technology could become even more ground breaking.
But he also pondered the risk of his achievement.
This could be an unstable element for all he knew, and if it got into the wrong peoples grasp. The hollows could evolve into Vasto Lorde or worse Arrancars and soul society could be overrun.
Unfortunately his fears weren't solitary for suddenly his lab was filled with strange people. They all wore black and silver captain jackets but instead of division numbers they had skulls with two crossed blades.
"The spirit kings guard" Kisuke muttered under his breath.
"Urahara Kisuke you are to stop all further work and no longer have the hogyoku in use at any time" the one presumed to be the leader stated. "If this device is to be stolen and used against the seritei you shall be the one to take the fall
-Hueco Mundo-
It had been two weeks since the escapade in soul society, the human Orihime Inoue was captured with success. The thought to be lost former third espada Neliel was found and restored. But the only thing in the treca espada and her fraccions minds that haunted them; was the death of Kitsuyasha.
Mila-Rose sat in silence in her Apache and Sun-Sun's room crying softly into her pillow, Apache was outside punching the wall in practice/frustration; fighting the tears that threatened to flow out her blue and brown eyes, Sun-Sun sat it the library studying a row of texts, but her own tears smudged the pages, and Halibel secluded herself in her room. She never left to eat, drink, and there were times were Aizen had to make visits himself in order to get her to go on missions. Her world without the male arrancar became like Hueco Mundo itself.
No light and no color.
-Second division Barracks-
Soi-fon was sitting in her office with paperwork on hand and stress on mind. A knock was heard at her door and entered Omehada with an expression that was a mix between confidence and fear.
"This better be good" she hissed in a cold tone causing the large man to shiver. This irritated her greatly, she could put up with his incompetence, his excessive eating, but she would not tolerate his wasting of her time. "Unless you want the biggest ass beating of your life you better start talking!"
"C-captain" he stuttered finally "I was in the southern area and I came across a interesting discovery"
"What? Did you find a secret place to hide your snacks?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"N-no, I saw arrancar tracks"
He suddenly found himself pinned against the wall with Soi-fons blade pointed to his throat. Her eyes were icy and like steel and her very breath was like a demon that would slay an entire dynasty.
"Say what you just said, I dare you to you blubbering whale "she said as the tip of her blade almost pricked his skin.
"I saw some tracks and verified them to be arracar *gasps from blades pricking skin* I followed but the tracks went cold"
She let the large man go. "Very well ill look into it later"
Kiryu was sitting in his room meditating on the past recent events and the still current danger. From reports a human named Orihime was captured who possessed a strange power to defy fate, and now out there was running an arrancar hybrid capable of accessing a zanpaktou and resurrection form, who's power stands equal to him; the captain of the soul kings royal guard, and who has probably regained strength by now. As he thought of this, the scar on his back throbbed reminding him of old memories.
Soi-Fon sat in her office in the meanwhile and soon found herself on memory lane as well.
-Years Long ago-
"Youroichi-sama, how long do you estimate your captains meeting will last?" the young third seat asked her dark skinned captain. "I wish to know this so I know when to meet back with you"
Youroichi giggled at her subordinates clinginess and patted her head teasingly "Well it'll be a while since its based off the recent disappearances within the gotei thirteen."
"Disappearances?"
"Yes, there have been a string of disappearances in each of the squads, and the uniforms of these missing ones are the only things that are found days later"
"I could take a small squad and go on a scout mission for any suspicious activity Youroichi-san!" she suggested.
"No, you stay put while I go to my meeting, but if you want to be socially active today" she grinned "You could hang out with the two new recruits."
"B-but Yourichi-san!"
"See ya later Soi-fon.". she vanished with a shunpo. Leaving the girl to decide how to pass her time.
*Elsewhere*
Kiryu was napping under a tree in total bliss, while on the other side rested his twin younger brother. They looked the same on all aspects except to color of their eyes.
"Yo Kiryu you worried about those kidnappings, they say second division might be targeted." His brother said as he yawned loudly.
"Huh? No, not really."
"What's up with you bro, your mind seems to be somewhere else."
Kiryu blushed a little in embarrassment. "Sorry I was thinking about Shaolin-sama"
"You realize she calls herself Soi-fon now right?"
"Yeah but I think her original name is more beautiful"
"Kiryu give it up she's not interested in guys."
"What do you mean?"
"Its obvious to everyone that she has a crush on Shihoin-taichou"
"What?" he said in utter shock "That cant be true!"
"Though I cant blame her, Shihoin-taichou is one sweet piece of ass."
"Brother stop it, what if Shaolin-sama hears you!"
"Well there's no point in stopping."
"What do you mean?"
"She's standing right in front of you."
Kiryu jerked up to face a glaring Soi-fon who looked very disgusted. She was twitching one eye, and her hand was slowly reaching for the blade on her side. "You insolent recruit dare speak of Youroichi-san in such a perverted manner; Ill put you in your place!".
"Oh and how do you suppose you'll do that?". His brother asked in a mock question.
"Meet me and the others on the hill near the forest and find out"
Kiryu and his brother arrived to the training ground three minutes early before the angry Soi-fon did.
"Dude there you are we all had thought vice captain Omehada ate you or something" he heard a voice call out to him and was followed by a swarm of laughter.
It was a boy with shoulder length wavy brown hair tied in a short ponytail, his eyes were mint green. He wore the standard a long sleeved version of the stealth uniform like his; and had a wooden pipe hanging in his mouth occasionally taking a few puffs.
"Oh hey Metsu; yeah I was dozing off again and nearly lost track of time" he replied while scratching his head.
Metsu Inashe was Kiryus best friend since the academy, fourth seat, and one of the seven in squad two who knew his abilities. The other two were Daichi Honda and Ayumu Momochi.
Daichi was tall and average built in muscle and fith seat in squad two. He had black shaggy hair that went over his eyes and wore a sleeveless version of black op uniform.
Ayumu was tall and skinny in muscle and sixth seat; he had short blonde hair and light purple eyes; a pair of glassed rimmed over his nose. His black op uniform was normal.
"Well regardless haul ass and line up Soi-fon is coming" Metsu replied to his friends. They quickly lined up as the most beautiful woman Kiryu had ever seen since joining squad two walked onto the field with her serious no nonsense look displayed across her face. Her eyes looked over him and his fellow troops with disapproval.
Vice captain Omehada was next to her sporting a fresh black eye.
"He must've said something she didn't like" he thought to himself.
"Alright you pathetic loads of shit listen up, today's training regimen is increased five times more". That earned a lump of silent groans amongst the black op squad members; and a disapproving glare from the second squad captain. "I'm sorry is there a problem with that; perhaps you all should speak your minds"
Kiryus brothers mind was in a perverted day-dreaming daze so he missed the sarcasm in her voice when he said "Well Soi-fon-san if you must know, im just thinking about how lovely your looking today and how I hope you take off your haori so I can see your seductive figure"; sarcasm laced every word.
The group erupted into a choir of gasp and shocked faces. Omehada eyes widened so much one would've thought his eyes would pop out. Metsu, Daichi, and Ayumu were all going "Yeah Boy!" in their minds. But Soi-Fon was not amused; she chuckled darkly as a cold killing aurora surrounded her, her eyes locked on the seventh seat with an objective to only leave him in pieces. She shunpoed in front of him and connected her fist into his stomach sending him flying into the thick forest.
~End Flashback~
Soi-fon chuckled a bit from that memory, and in his room Kiryu shuddered from remembering how feirce his wife was.
"You always were the sarcastic one; my brother Kitsuyasha."
