One of the longest chapters of Time Repented. Chapter 12 or 13's bigger.

So read. I wrote this on Keta's Birthday because it's a national holiday.

I love Halloween.

So yeah… R&R please.

And soon I'll be posting a Alice in Wonderland/Bleach story.

Chapter 9: Halloween Night, Keta's Birthday

Rangiku's POV

"Come on Taicho! I wanna go eat! I'm hungry! There's going to be caramel apples!"

"Rangiku go without me…" The sounds of soft snores could be heard within the walls.

"Fine." I know when I'm defeated. I stomp down the stairs and make my way into the dining hall I've come to know well. When I step through the doors, my eyes automatically sweep around the room.

"Hello, Rangiku." I turn around to find Lunaicaier standing behind me. Her tiny hands clutch at a small book. "It's a nice night. Don't you agree, friend?" I blink at her. She smirks and takes up my hand. "Be very wary of wolves. Especially a white one with teal eyes.

What? Why's she talking about wolves? That makes no sense. Why should I fear, no be wary of wolves? I smile back. "Thank you for the advice." She giggles and bounces over to the Slytherin table.

I sit down and begin to eat with the other Shinigami. Jack-o-Lanterns float all around us and the blonde haired twin seems unusually happy. I mean she's usually giddy but today she's twice as much. The girl looks over at us, scratch that, she looks at Harry and waves wildly. As much as I'd prefer not to get too involved with the Slytherin side, I can't help but like that girl. Her brother, I'm more than sketchy about. But Ichigo seems to like him.

"Move over Rangiku."

I glance at my taicho. "It's 'bout time you woke up, Captain. I was worried you might miss dinner." He glares at me before taking his seat.

"I hate you."

I don't have time to make a comeback to the midget as the Headmaster now demands our attention. "Happy Halloween. I have a surprise for all of you. Today, your families have been invited to Hogwarts for this night." He looks over to the caretaker. "Mr. Filch, could you please let them inside?"

The creepy old man nods and pulls on the giant doors. Just outside hordes of parents and teens stand waiting. Some run to their children, others walk slowly. A massive group of redheads envelopes Ron and Ginny. I'm guessing that's their family.

Momo grips her cousin in a bone crushing hug with a cry of, "Shiro-chan!" I smile and Shuuhei and Izuru come over to me. "Hey, Rangiku." I smile brightly.

A man and woman with platinum blond hair pad over to the Slytherin table, namely Draco. The boy hugs them. I think they're his parents. "Luc! Aunty Sissy!" Lunaicaier shrieks and hugs the duo. Saiyzar and Draco then snort and turn away. The teen glares at them half-heartedly. I know she can never really be mad at the two. I look away to watch the others pour in.

"Ichigo my wonderful son!" Isshin Kurosaki appears out of nowhere for his usual surprise attack greeting on his son. Ichigo narrows his eyes and kicks the man square in the jaw. "Why would you do that to your father?" he wails as the twin Kurosaki sisters appear shaking their heads in disbelief.

"You never learn," Karin says stoically. She obviously doesn't care. The twins turn their attention to Ichigo then.

"Ichi-Nii!" Yuzu yells and runs to her brother. Karin is more subtle with her movements but the results are the same. The twins hug their brother tightly. They must have missed him.

Orihime and the rest of the ryoka look between their friend and us before sitting beside the majority. The twins sit next to their onii-sama and Byakuya takes the spot next to Rukia.

After everyone settles, Lunaicaier glances around before turning her head downward. She seems sad. Suddenly, "Mooney, have you missed us?" She perks up, a wide, bright smile lighting up her face.

"Ana, Bella!" Two teens pop into the room. One has blood red and black hair with a blue and a brown eye. The other sports dark brown, almost black hair and purplish eyes.

The smaller of the two hugs the blond girl. Then the trio takes their place next to her friends.

Draco's POV

Lunaicaier's cousin and adoptive brother sit down next to her. The smaller, Hannibel tickles her, eliciting a giggle from the girl. She shies away from the boy and into Ichigo's side. "Ichi, save me!"

He laughs and places a hand on her back. "Yuzu, Karin, I want you to meet my friends, Lunaicaier, Saiyzar, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Theodore and Millicent."

"Hello, I'm Yuzu," the light haired twin says, "that's Karin." The group collectively waves before turning back to their own families, save for my female friend. She just clings to the orangette's side. After a bit Anathema and Hannibel stand up. They nod to Saiyzar who snaps his fingers. Immediately afterwards a giant cake shows up. Every conversation in the hall comes to an abrupt halt.

"Happy Birthday, Mooney!"

"I hate all of you," she growls. "I really hate you."

"Oh, come on… Lunaicaier," the boys say, "Enjoy your birthday for once. Come on, please."

"Fine." The blue eyed woman leans backwards, jaw clenched. "I want fireworks though."

"Well," Hannibel giggles, "there might be inside your presents." Saiyzar snaps his fingers again, and a monstrous mountain of gifts fills the isle way of the hall. Lunaicaier's eyes widen exponentially.

"All these for me?"

"Minus a few or one," the orange haired boy says. She looks at him questioningly. "Just open your presents."

"Okay." The girl scowls at the pile. She sneers Snape-like and jumps into the gifts, head first. Sounds of ripping paper erupt from within, and a shoebox comes hurling out. Ichigo's hand snatches it from the air and he sets it on the table. "Dray catch!" A soccer ball comes flying out next. I reach out and grab it.

Ichigo mouths "drop it."

"Why?" My question is answered in the next second with a barrage of presents. "What the heck?"

"It is a game. Her third favorite," Saiyzar speaks up.

"Third?"

Saiyzar catches a bag of fireworks. Who gives fireworks? "Yes, she likes soccer and football more." He ducks when another shoebox rockets at him. Luckily, Ichigo manages to ensnare it. "She likes at least partial contact sports. Especially, when she can bruise someone else and not get in trouble."

"She'd be a fine beater then."

"You know it."

I glance over at an irate Dumbledork. He glares at the presents, or more likely the teenager underneath. You couldn't miss the look of hatred in the man's eyes even if you were blind.

"Hey, guys! I love Shock and Barrel so much!" Lunaicaier shouts at the top of her soprano lungs.

"Who's Shock and Barrel?" Blaise asks.

Hannibel and Anathema make like twins and both reply with, "Some of our friends. They call Mooney, Lock. Together they're the Trickertreater Eaters."

I turn at the blonde girl's brother. "Do not ask. We do not know." I nod.

The teen bursts from what's left of her gift mound, a broom in her hand. "Lookie, Saiyzar-tan! I gotsted a bwoom! I wuvses me fwends!" I blink not used to this side of the teen. She turns to my godfather, a smile plastered to her silver toned face. "Sevy! Can I gow pway wit Ichi n' Saiyzaw n' Hawy n' Dway? Pweeeeeaaaaaaseeeeeee! Pwetty !"

The man's right eye trembles. I've never seen that before. "Yes, if they wish to come." A look of surprise erupts on Dumbledork's face. I guess he doesn't know how Lunaicaier can grow on people.

"Yay! Wets gow!" The boys laugh but follow her outside anyway after Ichigo stoops to hug his sisters.

"I'll see you later tonight. Okay?" They nod.

Lunaicaier's arm wraps around my waist and she drags me out the great hall doors. 'Oh god, help me.'

Suddenly, the girl stops and closes her eyes and sinks to the floor, crying out in pain.

Muramasa's POV

I close my eyes tightly. The voices of the zanpactou clear in my head. This is how it all started with me hearing them cry out for freedom. But a select few seem extremely happy in their captivity. Take Hyorinmaru for example. She loves Toushiro so much. She would rather die than completely leave the midget alone.

"Please, let us come out."

"Please free us, Lord Muramasa."

"Help us. Please, Lord Muramasa."

"God, just shut up!" My breathing grows sharp and I clutch my head in my hands. "Just leave me the hell alone!"

"Mura, are you okay?" Keta's voice rings out clearly in my head. It makes her so sad to see me in pain. But I cannot take it anymore. Her mind links with mine and she mewls out a, "Let me help you, cousin. I love you." Immediately, the weight disappears from my mind, but Keta's screaming. Her cries develop a desperate edge, and I try to grasp the voices back.

"Keta, give them to me."

"No. They're hurting you. I can't allow that. I love you too much, Mura."

In a matter of moments, the zanpactou stop and Keta's passed out.

Harry's POV

Without realizing I moved, I'm beside the strange Black. Ichigo, Malfoy and Saiyzar are beside me; Ichigo being the closest to her as he holds her in his arms. Blood covers her cheeks as if she were crying it. Maybe she is.

Her twin growls at the orangette, grabbing her from his arms. He coddles her and whispers something in her ear. The girl stills as if asleep. "Let us get you outside."

"Mr. Black, we must take her to the infirmary," Madame Pomfrey says, racing up to us.

Saiyzar growls at her. "Only if you want her to kill someone. She is petrified of anything remotely close to a hospital. That is where she was so often when she was little. I am not going to scare her anymore."

"What?"

The redhead closes his eyes, a single strand of red flowing from his eye. 'They are crying blood!' "Her mother, her real one, abused her. She tried to kill her so many times. She was so scared when I first met her. She was so terrified of people. Besides, our adoptive parents and our 'uncle', she would not trust anyone." He kisses her forehead. "She will be fine. She just needs to be outside."

"Why?"

"She is cursed to never sleep whilst the moon is up. She just needs to be with Kushina for a bit and she will be fine."

Without another word, the teenager stands up and walks away with his sister. I follow on some indescribable instinct as does Ichigo and Malfoy. When others attempt to follow us, Ichigo turns around and says, "Stay put. Leave Lunaicaier to us."

Outside the rain that has pounded all day finally quits. The other boys stop and the bi-color haired woman is put down. Saiyzar sits, leaning against a tree. "Kurosaki, if you dare hurt her, I will kill you again, and this time you will have no way to beat me."

"Ulquiorra?"

"Yes, trash. I am Ulquiorra Verion Schiffer. Well, I used to be."

I look at Malfoy, and her returns my confused expression. "Whatdaya mean, used to?"

"Keta, yes that is Lunaicaier's real name, helped me find out who I really am. My mother was forced into marriage with my father. Only he wasn't really my father. I do not have one. I have two mothers."

"What?" I shriek, disturbed. It didn't sound like his parents were just simple lesbians. It sounds as if the two women actually created him on their own.

"I have two mothers. No male was needed in my creation as my mothers were not human. When you aren't human, there can be no real need for opposite sex reproduction. If you are still confused, they were angels, fallen angels. By the names of, Rosiel Murceilago and Lucifer Morningstar. My true name is Verion Saiyzar Castiel Murceilago Morningstar."

"Castiel as in the angel Castiel?"

"Obviously. He's my uncle."

"So," Ichigo says, "you're an angel. Why are you working for Aizen then?"

Saiyzar rolls his eyes. "I am not an angel, Kurosaki. I am part angel. When I was fourteen, my mother, Rosiel was murdered by the arch angel, Uriel. My sister, Violetta and I had to leave to save ourselves. But it was for naught." He closes his eyes more red tears falling down.

"A vampire turned my sister and me, and then left. You see, Kurosaki," he looks at Ichigo sadness and pain splattered across his features, "newborn vampires are not meant to be on their own. Without a meal shortly after they are turned, they shall go into bloodlust and eventually die. I let my sister kill me to save her. I love her more than you could ever know. Contrary to popular belief, arrancars and hollows can feel emotion just as much as humans and shinigami.

"And to answer your question, Lord Aizen gives us the way to a place where we all can live without fear. He has shown us the path to true happiness. But we have to fight for it. That is why I work with, not for, Lord Aizen. In true reality, I am not supposed to fight ever but Lord Aizen can do nothing about it if I do. That is why I became the cuarto espada. I am supposed to be the primo and Keta is the cero."

"HOLD ON! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" we scream. "We don't understand."

So for the next hour, the two proceed to tell Draco and me about the shinigami, arrancar and the Winter War. "So that is why we are here."

About that time, Lunaicaier, I mean Keta wakes up. "U'ra?"

The boy smiles. "Yes master."

"Ulquiorra Verion Saiyzar Castiel Murceilago Morningstar! What did I tell you about calling me master? Just because I've taken over your apprenticeship, doesn't mean you get to call me your master." He snorts and curls up to her side. She looks up at us. "I already know U'ra told you all what's going on." She looks over at Ichigo a smile peeking up on her face.

"I hope we can still be friends, Ichigo. You and me too, Ichimaru."

Ichigo's eyes widen. "Who's Ichimaru?" I ask.

The orangette lowers his eyes. "He's my hollow." The boy's brown pools open suddenly and the sclera becomes black and irises, golden.

"I'm nobody's, Aibou. It's good to see you again, my princess. Ichigo may not remember you but I do." He leans forward, kissing the girl hungrily. She responds in kind but with much more fervor.

"That's not true. You're mine."

"That I am. That we are. Yours forever my only."

Ichigo growls. "Go away, Ichimaru." His eyes fade back to their original color, and the male collapses back onto the ground. "He's always trying to do that. At least, we finally have half an understanding now. Although, I'd be willing to let him obliterate some paperwork for me. I abhor paperwork. "By the way, you never got your last present, loony mooney."

She jerks to look at him. "Who told you that name?"

He opens his mouth to speak, but Malfoy butts in. "Ulquiorra told us."

She sighs. "Fine, I want my present though." She holds out her hand expectantly. The two ex-enemies laugh and toss a small package at her. She stares at it before ripping the paper apart and off. Inside is a tinny shivering cloak.

The cloak expands suddenly into a young dementor. 'Oh god. Not again.' Keta though seems unnerved by the dark soul stealing creature. She even scratches it under its bony chin.

"I'll call you Fluffy."
