AN: Ugh... I'm in the mood to where I want to write another story... but I already have a lot I need to finish. So, I'm on a mission to get some of my stories done. Also, I feel like I'm going to fast for this story. I'm the kind of person that can't keep writing for that long, nor think of enough ideas.
Also more to ramble on about. I want to get this done, so that one chapter that I have been doting about will be the next. This might be shorter than Sinner and Saint. Sorry, but I don't know if I have any motivation for this story anymore.
Kage Kurai: I wrote the poem. Glad you like it :D
Chapter 10: Return of the Storm
Hunter's POV
I sat in a Seireitei prison cell, thinking to myself of the current events. My whole past was unfolding, I was now an enemy to the soul reapers, Yujin was still a complete mystery, and my old friends were trying to kill me. Well, then again Mouken was never my friend. We had been mortal enemies from the day I was born. I chuckled, remembering what Kuchiki had told me a couple days ago. A message from Knight.
I suddenly heard footsteps slowly approaching the area I was in. I sat up, looking at the figure that had stopped in front of me. My eyes widened in surprise by the person, who stood before me. "Kuchiki?" I exclaimed in astonishment. "Why are you here of all people? Did you decided to come here and gut me?" The sixth division captain said nothing, just giving me that cold glare of his.
"I have a message from your friend Knight."
I could feel my heart stop at the mention of the name. Knight, he was still trying to find a way out. "What was it?" I asked, my true personality coming into place.
"He's almost here," Kuchiki answered. I now, could feel my heart pounding like a drum. "He's almost here?" I said a loud.
"He's almost here," I said a loud again. I looked up at the ceiling of this place, nervousness coming back into my body. "The first Soul Banisher is almost here. Damn, I hope everyone can stop them soon. We don't need another giant war again."I said, laying on the cold floor. To lazy to pick myself up and go lay on the cot, which was just as hard and horrible as the floor. As I thought to myself, Knight came into my mind.
"Are you still trying to get out?" I spoke, remembering something that had surprised me long ago.
"Hey, Knight what are you doing out here? It's cold and besides, shouldn't you be sleeping?" I asked, walking over to the white haired man. I sat down next to him. Knight was looking down at his hands with absolute not sign of an expression written across his face. "Dude, are you okay?" Knight finally looked up, staring at me with the same face. He got up quietly and started to head for the inside.
I couldn't help, but feel surprise, he usually answers questions, not just walk off with a scary face like that. I got back onto my feet, wanting to go over to him and to keep pestering him about his mood, but he suddenly stopped. I could hear a sigh coming from his lips.
"Try to get out of here." He said. I was taken back at that. 'Get out of here', what the heck was he even talking about. I opened my mouth to speak, but he took that chance away from me. "This place his hell, and it's best if you get out. You have no idea of what lies within this place. Hunter, whatever you do, getting out of this organization needs to be your top priority."
I ran up to him, making sure I faced him. I stared at the older man. "What do you mean 'get out'? And darkness, what do you mean by that too?" Knight looked down at the ground, trying to avoid my eyes. "Why ask me of all people and if you hate it here, why don't you leave." He didn't looked back up, shifting his feet side to side.
"I'm telling you, cause you will end up as the strongest of this place someday, but your the most naive. To answer your first question," he paused and took a breath. Knight looked back up and walked around me. I turned around, ready to ask more questions, but he took that chance away again. "I have someone here I still need to show the light to. If I can get that person back, I'll leave with them, but it might be too late. Kid, get out of here anyway you can."
I still thought it was quite odd. That conversation I had had with him. Knight was a strange dude, but not that weird. I sat thinking about that darkness he had talked about, I wonder if it was the first banisher. From what I heard about him from he others, he was the worst of all of us.
I sat up again, getting in odd feeling from my gut. I looked around the room wondering what it was. Then, a loud bang shook the area! I jumped up in surprise wondering what was going on. Then suddenly, the wall to my cell was blasted open. I brought my hands up, to cover my face from the the rumble that had hit me. I soon looked up, seeing someone where the wall stood.
It was she, with green long hair. She wore a black cape with skinny clothing that showed the outlines of her body. My eyes widened at the sight of this lady. Her eyes were the same as I had last remembered, but her face was twisted in hate. She chuckled evilly, smiling at me. It wasn't the same smile I was used too.
"It's been a while Hunter." She started to laugh. "Whats with that look? I have I changed that much to have scared you?"
I inhaled deeply, soon exhaling.
"Terra."

Aco's POV
"Intruders in the Seireitei! I repeat, intruders in the Seireitei!" The loud alarm awoke me from my sleep. I perked my head up quickly, trying to take in the message as it pounded in my head. When it finally went through, I dashed out of bed, hurriedly getting my clothing on and jumping out the door.
When I got into the hallway, Yujin was up with a panicked look in his eyes. "Wh-whats going?" He asked, his eyes filled with worry. I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to tell him.
"Come on, lets go find someone who does!" We both flash stepped out of building and the both of us were outside soon. I looked over to prison Hunter was being held in, my eyes widened in surprise, seeing smoke coming from the building. "Yujin, lets go!" I flash stepped quickly and as fast as I could.
Are the Soul Banishers back? I thought, panicking as my heart began to race. They were pretty intent on killing Hunter. Are they back to kill him? I brushed the thoughts away, not wanting to worry myself to badly. I turned my head at the sound of another flash step. It was my younger brother Toshiro.
"Shiro! Do you know whats going on!?" I yelled, hoping he would know. Sadly, he shook his head.
"I have no idea. Other than a new Soul Banisher has been sighted." I gulped. Another? Crap, maybe they are here to kill hunter. I started putting more power to my feet and I began to flash step even further. I was soon way ahead of Yujin and Toshiro, before I knew it I was in front of the Seireitei prisons.
I was about to walk in, when I heard the hiss of a flash step. I jumped away as something smashed the ground where I was. I landed safely on my feet to see, a girl with her fist in the spot where I was. She was about my age, maybe younger. Her hair was messy and black, it looked like she hadn't combed it in a while. Her eyes were red and her clothes were in dirty and the red all over it, the red looked like crusted blood. She looked up at me, her face was twisted in craziness.
"Hello~," She said, tilting her head to the side. "I'm gonna kill you~." She dashed at me with inhuman speed. I took out my zanpakuto, blocking her attack. She started to laugh in a crazy way. I flash stepped away, trying to avoid the girl. Exactly how many insane people am I going to meet? So far, two. I cursed inside my mind, I did not like the fact of fighting people who were mentally unstable, it highly disturbed me. The girl started to laugh again, but she stopped and open her mouth.
"Rose of white have been stained with blood, stained with blood, stained with blood. Rose of white have been stained with blood my dead lady!" She started to twirl around, like she was dancing. She repeated her song as she danced around.
"Aco!" I turned my head around to see Toshiro and Yujin. They both looked at the insane girl, their faces looking concerned. "Who is this girl?" Yujin asked, gripping the handle of his sword. Toshiro did the same, from the looks on his face he didn't like the looks of this person either. I looked back at the insane girl, sighing loudly.
"I don't know who she is, but if anything she's another Soul Banisher. Just, not a stable one." The girl stopped dancing and singing. Her head hung, you couldn't see the look on her face from her hair. She soon looked back up, the insanity was gone from her features.
"I apologize for that." She spoke calmly, in a nice soothing voice. It surprised me, from what I could see now the girl had split personalities. She ran her fingers through her hair and all the mess disappeared. "Unfortunately, my other side doesn't always fight. My name is Chi by the way. No need to say yours, I already now, who the two captains are." Chi picked her arm up, until it was almost in front of her face. "If you don't mind, I need to stall you for a bit." She bit her arm and blood spurted out of it. It trickled down her arm and began to drop onto the ground.
Soon, the blood dashed at us. All three of us dodged out of the way. Blood began to pour out of the girl's arm and zoom at us. I went to the right, avoiding the blood, but it had nicked my face, creating a unseemly large cut. "What the heck!?" I screamed, wondering what the heck was going on. This girl's blood was like a sword!
"Reign over the frozen heavens, Hyōrinmaru!" Toshiro's shikai activated and the ice dragon appeared over him. The white haired captain struck his sword down, the dragon freezing Chi's blood. The girl scowled and jumped back from Yujin, who was slashing at her with his blade.
"Come on Chi, we're done!"
Another voice came from inside the building and a woman with green hair walked out. She huffed loudly, placing her left hand on her hips. "I got Hunter back to the organization, lets go. We have the last piece." At the mention of Hunter's name, I dashed at the new person. She growled, blocking my blade with one of her own.
"Where is he!?" I demanded. The girl narrowed her eyes. "Your Aco Hitsugaya right? I guess leader-sama won't mind the extra guest." She smirked, jumping away and threw something into the air. It was a small round ball and it flashed and there was a white square behind the green haired woman. "This is the last one I have, Chi lets go!" Before I knew it, Chi had grabbed onto my sleeve and pulled me in with her into the light. The other jumped in right after we did, and I could see Toshiro and Yujin get in as well.
AN: That ONE chapter will be next! I'm excited, but my homework might be too much. Hope you all enjoyed, please review.
