Chapter 11- Revival

I do not own bleach nor InuYasha, or any anime at all.

Hello I'm back, I am sorry if this took me quite a while to upload, as I said before, I'm trying to finish this off in 1-2 chapters, but also I try to get the timeline and research all correct and lined up, so that takes a lot of my time up, especially with where the storyline is right now in bleach. I also apologize if I don't mention names or I skip time, I am trying really hard to complete this quickly for everyone. This chapter introduces some more characters I hope they are written well, please leave any and all feedback; it really does help me get better and see what it is that yous want to read. Thank you to those who have followed or favorited my fanfiction, onto the story. P.S. sorry if there are spelling errors I don't have any beta reader nor a proof reader, and staring at the screen so much automatically causes my eyes to gloss over errors without seeing them.

I was sitting cross legged in a grassy field, with my eyes closed, "feel the winds, not just as it touches you but it moving and touching those around you and the objects…." She paused for a long moment allowing me to try focus on the wind "Don't focus too much, relax your body and mind, let the wind take you with it, breath in and out, by letting go will you obtain the most you can imagine, now tell me if you feel this?" Kagura threw something through the air, I moved my head to the right side, it was behind me and a small object the size of a mar ball, I nodded my head, it felt like I was in a pond and anything that touched the pond I could feel its movement and mass through the waves it emitted, however it was increased by tenfold and I noticed it the second it left Kagura's hand. She was slowly circling me trying to sharpen my senses and use the wind around me to detect things, we use to use larger items, but since the horrible news off war being declared, Kagura demanded training was needed right now, and the second father left into the house I went on my way to the secluded pond on our lands to practice more with my Zanpakuto.

"Let's try this" she stated I could feel the mar-ball all the way through the air she tossed it so hard it stayed in a straight line until I couldn't feel it anymore, "I can't feel it anymore…" "What was the distance? You should be able to tell" I nodded "1000 meters in a south east direction, I couldn't feel it after that" I stated "1000 meters even in our inner world its impressive, you seem to be more aware, more on edge maybe since hearing of trouble, which has put your defences up on high alert, I wonder if this is why you are doing so well today? Or is it because you want to fight, you cannot fool me as I am a reflection of you and we are one in the same but also opposites, I feel my own blood boil and wish to draw blood of the enemies of our friends and family however, charging in can get you and in result myself killed, and we don't want that do we?" She stated, "No" I stated I knew she was smiling, it would look like a sinister mischievous smile however I knew she felt immensely proud as I could feel it too, but proud that she is my zanpakuto.

I still remember when I met Oetsu Nimaiya, I had to as the royal guard refused to let me be given just any Asauchi blade, no he said if I was to defend the soul king then I need the right zanpakuto, one worthy of my position, and therefore I was handed a sword, no I was given Kagura, and he helped train me just a little to start off and allowed me to bond with Kagura as much as I could, being so young at the time, I looked up to her as if she was my second mother with the personality and temperament of my grandmother however I knew we were more alike than I'd care to admit, however I do admit it only to her.

"On to the next, stand up and open your eyes, I will train you to be aware of your surrounds as we have just done but while there are many things going on around you, and while you are fighting, I may always protect your back and know what to do and how to attack because we have that link that allows us to communicate with just a thought, however you need to be aware if someone is trying to sneak up behind you, and how to attack, when we fight together, we will be able to do millions of things all at once, attack, block, move and defend others, we will be able to cut any and all things down with in our way, but the first step is to naturally align your instincts to use the wind to attack and defend and then to do all at once, it requires you to disconnect your body and brain however to still be able to think, this is called the ultimate Instinct once you master it, you will be able to do more than in your wildest dreams, this is the hardest thing to learn, many try yet fail. However you are a demon and a dog demon to boot, you also have your own natural wind abilities and my own wind abilities, if we can link up MY bankai and your instinct, and this will allow us to cut down anyone in our way." "I must admit it sounds too good to be true, however you would never lie to me and I trust you with my life, it just seems so far away to achieve." I was over eager now to get to that point, and I didn't want that to put my instinct into a hyperactive or excited state, as that can lead to be letting my guard down." "Then let's get too it shall we?"

Our training continued for days and nights on end, no guard or family member annoyed me as they knew it would result in my concentration breaking, when I'm finished I'll go back to the house, they all know that, especially Luna, I do not require food and drink 24/7 it just helps us to gain extra energy to use and the taste is amazing, the more food we eat the more energy we gain and can hold within our bodies, this is why Luna eats so much, just to use the Laws at her disposal requires a lot of energy more than her body naturally holds and produces therefore she gains the rest and extra from food, us demon children can also eat souls and mortal beings with physical bodies, that is where the most energy lies, in pure life however we stopped doing that a long time ago, even father wouldn't stoup so low as to rely on the life energy of a living mortal.

Kagura and I trained harder than I have ever in the past couple of hundred years, we were both adamant that Bankai is going to be achieved, "Sit with me" she stated simply, we both sat on our knees in front of each other and ate dango and drank green tea, however in our inner world it was just for show she exhaled slowly before saying "you know I trust you as you trust me, I nodded in response, so why do you not trust yourself?" I looked at her quickly before saying "I do trust myself I am a demon heir and a soul reaper with captain class abilities…" Kagura cut me off before I could say anything else "then why does that conviction sound so empty and why are you so scared, I do know the answer and I had hoped you would come to me to talk about it but at last I need to approach you about it. You are calmness and you are the wind as am I however when you are worried, depressed, sad, scared, anxious I feel those but most of all I see it in our inner world." She motioned to the sky and air around us, it was overcast, and the wind was being sucked into a large building storm of in the distance that looked like and embodiment of depression, when normally it looks like a sunny breezy paradise.

I bowed my head "I'm sorry Kagura, I have been having this gripping fear in my chest that gives me pain, and I have had those awful dreams, as you would have seen, I'm afraid I'm running out of time and that, THAT outcome may be inevitable, I am so scared that my best won't be enough to protect those I love." I levelled a look at her and she nodded in response "I have seen them, and your worry is justified, but because you have something to protect is why you can go beyond your limit and to new heights, you are more capable than you know, besides the quinces are weakened naturally to your demon abilities you already have the upper hand, just like a rope, put one hand above the other to continuously get above those around you, and I will always be right beside you every step of the way, you are never alone." I had tears in my eyes "ha… you know you are the wisest person I know and you always have a way with words, I'm so glad that you are my zanpakuto and me your reaper." She smiled at me again all proud and said "then let this new goal aid you in become stronger and better faster, lets save Jushiro." I smiled at her agreeing and knowing that she is using my dream as a pushing force for me to evolve and gain more power, to use fear is a smart idea in certain circumstances, so we continued our training for Bankai.

It had been I think nearly five days when out of the blue I was smashed with large amount of energy wafting through the wind to our direction from the soul society, it was immense and we knew the war had begun. I rushed from my spot at the pond to the other side of our lands to the very edge, many of our clan and my family gathered to that location, we could see the different colours of spiritual energy from many light up the sky and we could feel and smell the death in the air, even from this distance, and we knew that it wasn't our enemies who were losing the vast majority of their numbers.

It was very obvious, when we couldn't breath and the air was hot, not even the wind was present, we all begun sweating, we knew "He's using his bankai!" I shouted, many here were shocked as I, 'this foe must be extremely strong', "this is why we trained so hard, for this…" however before Kagura could continue my grandfather's spiritual pressure disappeared as if he wasn't there to begin with, I could hear my mother cry, we all knew in that deafening silence that he was no more.

I was standing in my father's office, along with InuKimi, my very distraught mother, the demon General, InuKimi's companion (the dog demon who has always been by her side), Luna, Shiro and the twins.

"I SAID NO, SERENITY!" My father shouted at me

"We could just offer aid in healing and supply's, other than squad 0, there is no one else other than us who defends the soul King and those that have fallen defend him as well, we could just help!"

My mother was still sitting in a chair crying silent tears, and she gazed off into space, my other siblings stayed in the corner very silent, meanwhile the general backed up my father and stood beside him in support of his decision, meanwhile InuKimi was very calculative in her quietness, hearing everyone's argument first.

"Must I remind you that we are not looking for a fight let alone a war, and we only go if and when called by the soul king himself, not the royal squad nor central 46 nor the soul reapers!" Father was very firm, in his voice, stance and where he put his foot down,

"Since when do you do as you're told, do you heal to all? And besides we are the great dog demon clan since when has our decision making and sense of right and wrong been taken from us, just because our species is nearly extinct doesn't mean that we should watch as war between others does, beside healing and offering a small bit of resources to our ally's shouldn't be decided by the soul King, if he had chosen us to be personal guards to defend him he would have seen the many other good things we can do and the many decisions we should be making in these kinds of situations!" I was starting to shout, I could tell what I said about my father bowing his head really hit a sore spot.

"You are too young, and itching for a fight, you have no real battle experience…" I had cut him off right there "I don't want to fight, I just want to heal them and help them in a non-combative way, is that too much to ask, grandfather is gone, the squad 0 has come and left, leaving the gateway open and the rest are left behind to try and help each other with no support, you can tell that not even central 46 is there anymore, we have the ability to aid."

I was now finished with my side of the argument but I could tell he wasn't "Then if you don't want to fight, tell me why have you been training harder than ever in the past five days, besides it was Kagura who stated that the enemy could arrive and leave in the blink of an eye, for us to be there if they come, will undoubtedly result in fighting, and putting unnecessary life in danger."

"I have been training for hundreds of years don't just use this time right now as an excuse, beside I want to help those who have raised me, and grandfather the captains they all raised me for many years."

Both sides made very good arguments, with all decision making it was decided with a vote of those who were in the family and those that were true dog demons. "now to vote to give aid to the soul reapers say 'I'" five 'I's' rang out, it was Mother, myself, Luna, InuKimi and her companion, the other five people disagreed being father, his general, Shiro and the twins.

I gave my other siblings dirty looks "Hey thinking strategically we would be vulnerable, and we can't help the reapers if we are also unable to help ourselves, not to mention no0t all are as strong as you are, nor trained in full combat, maybe we should just take a step back and see if they ask for help." I did see his point but I knew that he was just a pussy, and the twins both said in unison "come on, it's scary", "So it's a tie in votes, we will need a last vote from Komamura's father", so we all headed out to the forest, and to the entrance of the cave that he dwelled in.

I knew without a doubt that he was well aware of all the fighting and war going on, he didn't like soul reapers nor the way I wanted the clan's direction to go in, however his son is a soul reaper and he may want us to aid him, but he is very prideful, this could be the downfall to us going to help them. His large old hulking body stood and slowly left the cave, he seemed older than before, he waited for the lord to state the business that we required of him, he was quite for a moment thinking over what my father had told him, to help aid or not, I was really hoping he would say yes, but alas he stated in his low baritone voice no and went back into his cave. 'Useless old MUT' I yelled in my head, I was wholeheartedly agreed with by Kagura, 'why do we keep him around he must be ancient and ready to move on, why doesn't he?' Kagura responded with "Now, now Ren is that any way to think or speak of your elders?"

I was surprised that she was so calm and cheeky, seeing as it was just decided that we were not going to the soul society, especially after all off that hard work we put into our training for five days straight, she must know something I don't, and if I'm correct it's got something to do with Luna, I remembered the day she came back from the soul society and stated we should really continue our training in the laws before Kagura stole me away instead for Bankai training, yes I was sure she had something up her sleeve, and I knew InuKimi would aid us in our endeavour.

I however did notice the scent of another near the cave of the old demon, I thought I recognized it, but it couldn't be. I continued to catch up to Luna, who had already left with the others once the vote was decided, we both walked to my room, seeing as it was further away from our parents room and I know we wouldn't be over heard, well not this time as I was going to use a kido to shut off my room.

We had already waisted two days in arguments and deliberation's, in which the squad 0 had come down and helped out, I really wanted to get word to them but also word from them, I have been working on my own kido since before I left soul society however since the blocker was put in my chest, Kido has been much more easier. Luna was about to close the door, however I stopped her I placed my palm out to the opening and laid the Mirror door kido down, then closed the door, just in case anyone tries to interrupt or stop what we were going to do. "What are you planning right now?" Luna asked me as I grabbed my liquid black ink from my desk and she followed me into my bathroom, I was large and had an open swimming pool like bath with large marble pillars in the centre, I sat down on the edge next to the pool and took of the ink lid and placed patterns on my arms, beginning the first steps of the kido as I explained to Luna at the same time "I am going to use a kido that allows me to communicate with those in the soul society but I have modified it so they can also speak back to us, they will be able to hear you too, they need to know that we are not coming…yet"

Luna nodded and watched me closely as she was going to hopefully become a kido master one day if this war doesn't kill everyone, I placed my hands out in front of me and canted "Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly through the heavens and back- Bakudo #77 Double Tenteikūra" As I was saying the words a square reiatsu shape formed in the air with root like shapes coming off of it and spanning outwards, once I was done I could feel it connect to all those captains and lieutenants in the soul society but not all were there, which momentarily scared me.

"Captains and Lieutenants, sorry that we the Royal defence has not come to help and will not come to help as it was decided that it is too dangerous but also we haven't been called upon" I could hear a few off them murmur 'too dangerous but they are demons and not to mention the royal defence squad' I continued to speak "I can hear all of yous, so if you need to tell me something go ahead" It was captain Kyraku who spoke "Impressive Serenity, I can't say that I'm all that surprised, your father won't move in unless called upon, it does make sense, also the zero squad came and took the wounded and those who need training that includes Renji Abarai, Captain Kuchiki, Rukia Kuchiki and Ichigo Kurosaki, the rest of us are pulling our resources together and training and healing those that are still alive, they are more formidable than we were thought, also we lost the head captain ad lieutenant along with many others, I am now acting as head captain, there is no central 46, Jushiro is being the doctor while Unohana trains Kenpachi Zaraki, it was the head captains last request if things go wrong." He finally finished hearing that my grandfather was gone hurt but we had things to get to doing.

"Our decision to help was over voted by only one vote, however there are those hear who want to help and do intend to in due time, we just need to get there undetected by the rest of the clan." I heard Jushiro say "you should not go behind your fathers back nor wishes Ren, I know you have the power to help and you want to but in this case stay home, and only come if called, these opponents are very dangerous they can steal a bankai." I nodded my head in understanding, "I would like to obey however I don't get the last say in my actions, we may not be coming right away but we will come to help soon enough, just do what yous can, for the time being, when we come we plan to fix everything." I said Luna gave me a knowing look, "what do you mean by everything?" Nanao asked "you will see in due time" said Luna in response, "Just give us some time." And with that I cut out the Bakudo Kido, "that was so cool" Luna spoke very enthusiastically, I hope that I can do that one day, I swear I will." Determination in her voice she looked at me and then said "off to InuKimi?" I nodded in confirmation.

We slipped into her room, without knocking, knowing the other demons could hear us if we did, "take a seat" InuKimi said as we approached her, "so what do yous plan on doing?" I looked at her "well we want to go help assist and protect them…" but before I could say anymore she simply demanded "how?" if you don't want to fight the enemy how can you protect those still there, not to mention Luna isn't trained for combat, and you will need to defy your father, are yous ready to do that?" she asked, she wanted to hear something specific from us, she's fishing and she has her own goals that she wants to achieve. "I will fight and protect if needed, I also have some more time to learn as much as I can, the enemy has been returning hitting them and then leaving, they will return again and I'm afraid this time they will hit the soul kings realm, not to mention we have the laws on our side if need be w…" "but the laws leave yous both quite exhausted, she sighed, I'll tell you what, I don't like being told what to do, and I know we are stronger than our enemies, I also do wish to help our 'friends' and we should considering that there are…was family members there, however more than anything, I believe that you girls need to see war, experience it consider this a stepping stone, a life experience to get you minds ready for the future, yous may or may not have to engage the enemy, but I whole heartedly believe that yous two can do anything yous put your mind too, so how much time do yous need to train?" Luna beamed a smile, "I plan to teach Ren a law, hopefully in less than seven days" she stated InuKimi raised one off her eyebrows "seven days, quite ambitious don't you think Luna, after all Ren only has one down to pat and look how long that took, and the second one she was sloppy with…" I stopped her right there, "I have faith that Luna knows what I would be easier for me to master based on my abilities if she says I'll learn it in seven days or less, then I will." I said with determination.

It was quite for a while before she stated "very well, I suggest you two train in the forest, I will send someone to watch over yous so that the guard and your father don't catch scent of this, I'll personally keep a close eye on him, okay?" she asked wanting to know if that was agreeable, Luna and I both nodded and thanked her, instead of walking around the house, Luna grabbed me and placed her fingers to her head and said "I invoke Jump" we than disappeared to the forest.

We had landed in a massive thicket of trees nearly fusing with them in the Jump law, "sorry" Luna said sheepishly as she scratched her head, I rolled my eyes at her "you're not gonna have a problem using that when we go to the soul society are you?" I asked "nope, nope definitely not" she smiled again in response. Once we got to a more cleared out area I asked Luna "so what is this Law you specifically want me to learn? You said I can 'fix everything' what did you mean by that?" She nodded at me, and begun to pull out the book of laws and said "yes, I have only started to try and master it, but I think with your energy reserves, you would be better equipped to use it, it's the Law- Resurrection, with this we can bring those who died back to life and fix aka repair any damage to living, dead and inanimate objects." I looked at her surprised, 'yes we went over all off this and yes I knew the laws however this surprised me that she thought I would be able to wield it better than her'. The look on my face must have portrayed what I was thinking, it was at that time I could feel energy moving straight in our direction, I tensed for a second but then realized it was InuKimi's companion and relaxed, Luna didn't notice any of this as she continued her talk "Yes I think you have the energy reserves for this one and not to mention since the blocker has been put in your pin point accuracy is ridiculous and the amount of power you have has increased as well, plus this one has an incantation more like a kido and it sort of heals but uses time as well, so I have no doubt in my mind that you can do this, plus I want to get this one down to pat at the same time, two is better than one." She finished her explanation, I thought for a while, "should I remove one gate seal in learning this one?" I asked her already to bite my thumb and remove it, she was quite for a while thinking, "no, not yet only if there is trouble trying to use it, we can start off trying it on small things then get larger and then try it on living things, once you can tell how much energy it takes and what size of area you can cover with using it, then we will start to release your seals, okay? Also I have only been able to use it on things such as rocks, trees the ground not living things and not large areas as of yet, I'll show you, but first can you please destroy that tree?" She pointed to a tree 7 feet in front of us, I lifted my hand and using my wind abilities used the air pockets inside of the tree to expand it, causing it to explode and splinter, I then lowered my hand, Luna was standing agape "wow your training wasn't a waste I see," I gave her a dirty look 'how could she say that' "Don't worry Ren, besides I think this Law will be beneficial to us, in extending our training and senses, this one requires you to use those or else you would resurrect all fallen people including your enemies, this will require you to concentrate heavily on your surroundings and repair what is broken, I quite like the idea of this law, don't you think?" I nodded to no-one but she knew I agreed.

Luna placed her hands outward towards the tree, fingers spread and thumb and fore fingers touching each other as she chanted "A bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving nightmare to the jewelled vision of a life started anew. Oh what a wonderful soul so bright inside it has the power to heal the sun's broken heart, power to restore the moon's vision too, born a child of lights wonderful secrets- return to the beauty that was always there. Love teaches all to die with dignity so that they may come forth anew in splendour. Born once of flesh, then again of fire, reborn a third time to the sound of a humming haikus in heavens mouth, hearts rebuilt from hope resurrect dreams killed by hate; only after disaster can all be resurrected." Once she said the last word, all the small pieces of the tree lifted and moved back into one peace binding and fusing together, in literally five seconds it was whole again and felt just like it did before, it was destroyed nor dead anymore. I was shocked I turned to her "so that incantation is long as hell, and I have learned quite a few long ones myself but that was intense, so we can't really do this around enemies, and time is needed to do it," I stated the facts, the light green light that surrounded Luna and the tree had disappeared, and she seemed a little flushed from the exerted energy she had to use, she nodded her head in agreement, "but first things first, you need to remember this incantation, like yesterday, and slowly you will be able to feel the type of energy this laws summons up inside you and then how to apply it to what you focus on, due to your sword, sorry Kagura and your element abilities I think this one is right up your ally, so shall we begin?"

I took me half a day to have the Incantation down to pat, for the remainder of the day, I used the law to repair rocks, grass and tree branches that were broken, I also got a good feeling of the energy that flowed though me, it started in the throat and moved to encompasses my body, it also took both energy from my demon side and my soul reaper side, to morph the energy the law used, I than focused onto feeling the items I wanted to fix, I took me around ten seconds to fix them but slowly that got faster, and the focused feeling became second nature and more automatic. Luna had continued to use her law to resurrect a larger area but by the end of the day we were tired, I noticed that the energy reminded me more of my life transference kiss, which is essentially the same as the Life Transference Law, so this Resurrection is very similar to that, maybe that's why I am doing so much more better and learning it quicker, maybe I can also extend my life kiss, I should learn the death kiss more, even though it is ten times more easier to already use, destruction is easier than creation, always has been.

Day two, I could use the law on a much more larger area, already catching up and over taking the amount of area Luna could cover, I also found and killed a rabbit on our land, and then tried the resurrection on it, it took much more time even for a small animal I was back to ten seconds to repair the small creature, and was sweating, it took twice the amount of energy than repairing trees and grass and rocks, even though life ran through the trees and such, it wasn't a sentient being like animals and humans and other creatures alike. I hadn't felt the need to remove my seal on my arm since starting this training yesterday however I now felt like I was out of my reiatsu, I sat down, and chose to meditate and collect energy from the earth below me instead of eating or releasing a seal.

Day three, Luna decided to also try to heal a small creature, it hurt her though to see me kill it first, and knowing if she failed it would stay dead, She took even longer than I did to resurrect the dead rabbit, and she was so exhausted she had to eat some of the food in the picnic basket that InuKimi had brought to us by her companion, which for Luna was most appreciative. After I absorbed energy from the earth I didn't require to eat, and I was able to bring back multiple dead creatures in seconds now, the fact that I am using energy inside me to restore life, it was easier than my life kiss already, I however could see where my limit was, I would need to remove my seal once I got to ten dead creatures, and so I did, once done I brought them all back to life, the larger the animal the more energy was needed, I worried about how much a human or soul reaper would take, especially when you consider that they didn't have a physical body but one made up of reiatsu, but then again soul society was all created by reiatsu, maybe I can use that energy by absorbing it.

Day five, I could bring back creatures easily and all at nice, Luna had a few down to pat, and we both could do large amounts of area, Kagura wanted me to try and push myself to be able to cover the same area as I can with my senses, so that's what we have been doing, however the dilemma is there was no dead person around us that we could practice on and we were not going to kill someone to try it, this is where things got difficult.

Day six, we tried to resurrect a dead person, it wasn't our doing, InuKimi ordered her companion to kill himself and in doing so, we HAD to resurrect him, Luna let me do it, she doubted herself stating she needed more time and practice, I tried but couldn't I had to release another seal leaving only two left, with this I could bring him back, He sat up and looked at us, I had collapsed to the ground much like I do after healing Jushiro, I was extremely exhausted, he had thanked us, bowed and left, when he returned he had a large amount of food for us, and so we indulged. InuKimi had arrived and instructed us to continuously resurrect her companion after every time he took his life. Luna and I stared at her with wide eyes, she seemed so cruel right at that moment, but he didn't mind at all, he seemed okay with that decision. I removed my armour to allow more demon energy though my body as well as removed my last two seals, my armour formed a gold chocked necklace with the diamond shape centre of it as a pendant handing from it, "okay then let's begin."

It was later that night that Luna and I was wiped out, before he could take his life again, I quickly stopped him and said I couldn't do it again, he simply nodded and sat with us, making sure that no one came looking for us and was on guard, while we were exhausted, I ended up resurrecting him over 500 times, the more exhausted I got the harder it was to keep track, I also noticed that his soul stayed with his body making it easier for me to use the law, 'I wonder would it work if the soul is destroyed or already moved on, or what if they don't want to be resurrected?' I voiced my thoughts to Luna, "she thought for a moment before saying "well it could also be time limited, I think so long as the soul is around and the body is in tack enough to be resurrected than it should work, so those that were killed in the soul society should be resurrected so long as they have a body and their soul is still there but for reapers I think so long as a shred of their reiatsu is there, you should be able to bring them back, remember their body's' are all reishi" however she opened to the back of the book to see if more info was there to help us, re recited, that the soul could not be recreated or resurrected if it's destroyed, passed on or does not wish to be brought back, therefore only empty bodies would be fixed without life or a soul brought back to it, this is what makes this law so unbearably difficult to use and sometimes a miss and hit." She looked back up to me, I nodded, 'knowing that will make me save energy, if certain peoples souls are not there or have moved on, then I would need to waste energy bringing them back, only the ones still there, but you would think that soul reapers knowing the way the life and death and rebirth cycle works would naturally move on, but they are mainly reishi, I'll find out tomorrow.'

I turned to her "Can you jump us to my room, we will change and eat the largest dinner we have ever had and then sleep till tomorrow before heading to the soul society?" She nodded in agreement, I placed my armour back to how it was on my body, making me look like a soul reaper again and then clasped Luna's shoulder, she Invoked Jump and we were in my room. The Kyōmon was still up, so we quickly showered and dressed again, I released the kido and then we headed down towards the kitchen, not wanting to eat in the dining hall, where we can be seen by family and clan members, besides the cooks. InuKimi walked up to us once we were in the kitchen waiting and watching the chiefs prepares food for us. "So the family have been quite isolated from one another, your mother was upset and angry with your fathers decisions, and you brothers have kept their noses out of the issues right now, even the trouble makers, your father has been busying himself to stay away from any more drama, as for you two, I told him that you s were angry and upset and had locked yourselves in Ren's room, and even went as far as to put up a kido, he took my word for it."

Luna and I looked at each other feeling guilty, it was obvious this ordeal has split our family apart, even the staff and guards seemed as though they were walking on eggshells, "Don't get upset, yous know we are doing the right thing here, besides I doubt that once he realises that yous two are not here and have gone to the soul society he will have to step in and help out, won't he?" recognition played on my face, 'so that was what she wanted, to force his hand, and for Luna and I to be the ones who do that, which means we are going to be the ones who get in trouble for this!' I thought, "real smooth InuKimi" she giggled "oh tish-tosh, young ones get away with more things and your father will forgive yous easier than forgiving me" she said "so your essentially using our goal to get what you want as well, and everyone gets to help the soul reapers and we all live happily ever after?" Luna asked as well "well I wouldn't say happily ever after but we all get what we want." With that she turned and left the kitchens just as the large kitchen island in front of us was being filled with large platters, bowls and plates of food, so we dug in after thanking the many chefs and cooks that made it for us, slowly as I eat my four seals begun to naturally place themselves back onto my arm as I refilled the energy that I had lost due to the training, once done Luna and I head to my room for sleep.

"Okay so go over the plan for me one more time please?" Luna asked me once again to clarify, "okay so I am going to use a kido on us to make us invisible, so long as we are not seen by any of the demons or hanyo's we should be fine, however if we do get could I have a kido that can give us cover as you Jump us away to soul society, but if we get to the edge undetected by the clan, then we will Jump from our training forest okay?" She nodded "okay, and what route through the house are we using?" She asked "there are a few, just in case we need to double back or an obstacle gets in our way, so way 1 the easiest is we will go to InuKimi's room, and jump down from the balcony heading off the forest from there, it is further away from the forest but easiest way out of our home, way 2 is going to the kitchen from the second stairway at our end of the house, it is further away from where day should be in his office of his bed room, and we can use the back door in the kitchen where they bring in supplies, however this is closing to the training grounds and we could be discovered by a guard, way 3 is we take any and all ways to walk out the front door, we know that there are never guards at the front door, however it's a very open spot to be and has the highest chance of us getting caught, but it's closer to the forest, okay so we will try way 1." Luna nodded in understanding, "okay let's get to InuKimi's room, can you do this kido easily, remember we need to conserve as much energy as possible to use the law later," I nodded "yes the two kido's I decided to use today if needed are both low number kido's however useful, so don't worry okay."

I placed out my hand to hold onto Luna's as well and said "Bakudo #26- Kyokkō" light bended and warped itself around us to make us invisible to those around us, we walked over to my door, and I cracked it open and looked out to the left and then the right end of the hallway, seeing it was all cleared, we both stepped out and closed the door behind me, we headed down to the right towards InuKimi's room, we opened the door and slipped in, Luna very softly let the door close, so no-one could hear, I saw InuKimi standing in front of us and looking at us, "you can't go out my balcony, there is a guard situated below it, I tried to get him to leave stating that he was upsetting the view I got from up hear but he said that due to the war, he wasn't to leave his post for any reason unless Sesshomaru says so." I nodded my head, "well than, hopefully the training grounds won't have anyone there due to all being on high alert and at their posts," I said InuKimi responded "I don't think you should call them being on high alert as a positive, but at least try, after all I don't want your father to know I am involved, however I'll go out into the hallway first and will make sure all is clear, you can walk behind me until I reach the stairs that lead to the kitchen, okay." I nodded in agreement, I honestly didn't think that we would get that much help from her seeing as she didn't want to be in trouble apparently father isn't too happy lately with her. We all moved towards the door, but at the same time we heard foot-steps approaching from down the hallway, by the sound of it, I knew it was father, "get into the bathroom, just in case" InuKimi said, Luna and I went to a door on the left of the entry way of the room, and left it just ajar, and we were lucky we did, InuKimi, had just sat herself down and father had opened her door and entered without knocking or asking, he walked up to her and said, "mother, I was hoping you would talk to my distraught wife, even after so long she is still mad at me for the decisions I made a week ago and not to mention she still cries over her father's death." I couldn't believe how cold he sounded. "I will not son of mine, as I do not agree with your decision either, it is quite obvious how the family feels right now even if it was voted that we do not interfere, and yes she should be sad with her father's passing, so are the girls especially Ren, she spent so much time with him and learnt a lot from him, you should remember how it felt when you lost your father, but at least you had a heads up about it and you still acted like a mutt for a 150 years after his death, so don't you get angry if this inconveniences, however I should really console Rin, she does need the support." As she had finished her motherly rant to her son, she noticed that he was scenting the air, and looked towards the door, Luna and I were behind, we took a step back, but we heard her say "so you can still smell that they were here earlier, I had to console them and even bathed with them, they were angry and upset with you, you really have a knack for upsetting the ladies in the clan don't you my son." This got him to turn his attention back to her, InuKimi stood ready to leave and go to Rin and she had just said she would, "how are they, I've never gone so long without seeing my girls especially Luna unless they were studying, maybe I should go see them" InuKimi jumped onto it in a heartbeat and said "maybe not seeing them is your punishment from them Sesshomaru, besides they have been together, and you know those two they will eventually come out once they get hungry again." He simply nodded and followed InuKimi out into the hallway, we slowly slipped though the bathroom door and heard, InuKimi go to the left along with father, after turning the corner at the end, we opened the door, and lightly closed it and headed down the right towards the section with the kids rooms to get to the stairway that goes the kitchens and servant quarters that also has the laundry area and storage.

We just made it to the top of the stairs, when we heard a door opening up just beside us, it was the twins room, I quickly pulled Luna along with me down to the stairs and into the kitchen, once we were in there, I noticed all those there were human servants which made hiding easier, but I heard the boys gallivanting down the stair way as well, I lead us across the room and into the attached large laundry room, with open pools of hot water, with some of the maid's placing sheets, towels and mats in to clean them, it was extremely hot in this room, even with the windows open, I heard the boys go to the massive open pantry in the kitchen, I made our way over to the other end of the laundry room, and stood on a crate to look out the open stone window to see if there was any guards hanging around the training area just outside the back kitchen door, I looked to the left and right, but couldn't see any, it was then that I noticed, only because he shifted his feet, that a guard was standing right next to the back kitchen door but on the left of it, so anyone who left would be seen. I said to Luna in a low whisper in her ear "a guard is on the outside left of the back kitchen door, we can't go through it, and he will see us no doubt." She nodded and at the moment I heard the boys rushing of up the stairs again, obviously getting whatever food they wanted, at least they weren't causing trouble this time. I stepped down from the create and began to turn around, the ladies were not the wiser to us being in the same room as them, Luna whispered as low as she could knowing I could hear her fine "so we take the third way now?" I nodded to her and went back out to the kitchen and looked through the left open large storage area that connected to another second large kitchen, making it one large room, I noticed there was no hanyo's or demon's in the other kitchen, just those cleaning up dishes and cutlery and preparing fresh produce for soon to be Lunch and then dinner, I led Luna all the way through, we just needed to go through the last of the kitchens, the dining room, the lounge and parlour rooms, and into the ball room, we could check the front door way from the windows in the ball room, that has a clear view of the whole front of the house, being right next to the entryway that was in front of a large grand double staircase.

As we were about to walk past the island in the kitchen, with the 2 maids on the left one washing up and the other drying the dishes, I saw two figures walk in from the small hall way that connect the dining room the second staircase and the kitchen all together, I stopped so abruptly that Luna walked straight into my back but clung onto my clothes so that she wouldn't fall and hit the ground, it was mum followed by InuKimi, mother didn't notice us and I noticed her eyes were still a puffy red and she was exhausted she also seemed to not be paying much attention, for if she was I'm sure she would have been able to notice the kido, however InuKimi slightly tensed up and gave us a frown, quizzical look, she must have noticed that way 2 was a no go and this obviously worried her, just as it did I 'why so much security? Is father onto our plans?' She quickly fixed her facial features and joined my mother on a stool at the kitchen island, the maid wiping up, stopped and turned to them, "good more ladies of the West, my condolences my lady for your lost" she stated with a bow and directed her last part of her statement towards my mother, who nodded and said thank you. Myer was the maid's name she continued by asking "is there anything I can get for you ladies?" InuKimi, used that moment to wrap her arm around my mother's shoulders and used her hand to signal us to get going, as she said "yeah we want all of the chocolate, even the hidden ones that Sesshomaru keeps from the rest of us," I wanted to laugh but I heard mum say "he will get angry" but then InuKimi returned with "screw him, he hasn't been a good mate nor father lately neither son, so he can go a little while with no chocolate and you are hurting, chocolate always helps us heal." Myer seemed shocked by what InuKimi said, but did as asked, only the maids attended to the women in the family, we all had one each and Myer was being trained to be the personal hand maid of Luna, so our maids listen to us ladies and not the lord, as for the boys, their rooms are cleaned by the maids but they don't have anyone assigned to them, father takes care off the boys personally which is rare, its only if something comes up.

We continued on our way from the kitchens taken the larger opening into the dining room, instead of the smaller hallway that my mother and InuKimi entered from, it was far too easy for us to get bottled up and discovered, so we were going to stick to the larger open rooms that connect together with large openings and doors, if a demon or hanyo enter the room, we can hind behind many off the large furniture. In the Dining room was clear enough, only maids setting out the table for lunch time, as it was approaching fast, we shouldn't have even used that much time trying to leave this house, we easily walked pass them and into the lounge room that was connected via a large open entryway with the double doors already open, it too was clear, it had a simple lounge suite and an open sitting area near the large open window, I squatted down and sneaked between the lounges and over to the window to see how outside was. In the distance I noticed guards further off nears the edges and some near the houses off to the left away from the forest, it seems going towards the other residential houses for cover and moving about would be bad for us, as there were the same amount of guards as there were houses, I was getting worried that at this rate we will need to use the red smoke escape and just Jump, we won't have as much of a jump start before they get to us and force us home, but it should be enough time to make it there and help. I ducked just then as I heard someone enter from the front door, and make their way through the ball room, towards us, I quickly pushed Luna behind the chaise crouch next to the window, just as the door connecting to the ball room opened and a hanyo walked in to proceed through to the dining and then kitchen, thankfully he left the door open to the ball room, making it easier for us to see if the coast is clear. We made our way over to the door, and sure enough it was, this was now the trickiest part, the ball room was bear except for many tables that sat in the corner one placed on top of another, I made my way across the room to the window and looked out to the right and saw two guards on either side of the front double doors.

'I can't believe this, first InuKimi's balcony and then the back door and around the other houses and now using the front door and stationed at the front door', one of the guards looked over to his left and at the window I was standing at, I quickly took a step back and onto Luna's foot, nearly causing her to fall backwards and cry out in pain, I spun around and slapped my hand over her mouth at the last second and whispered sorry, then I heard that earlier guard on his way back towards our position from the kitchen, I practically carried Luna to the tables in the corner and pushed her to crawl quickly under a few of them so we could get out of view. Once he walked through the door way he closed it, crossed the ball room and out the front door and then to the left and pass all the windows of the ball room, I noticed one of the guards left with him as well, leaving one to guard the front, I went back up to the window with my head peaking over the sill, Luna whispered "what is wrong?" I noticed that the guards even on the edge were continuously moving and changing position, always on the move and unpredictable in their patterns, this is troublesome. I relayed what I noticed to her, and also added "if you use jump from inside the house father can easily detect us and use the other half of the medo stone to open the jump portal straight to us, or call us back or me via the smaller medo stone because it's on my person, But if we get far enough away or off of our lands than he would have an issue fining where we jumped from of that we are even gone at all, not to mention InuKimi can 'lose' the smaller medo stone for a while to prevent father from coming after us at all." She nodded to me, as we made our way back to the laundry room, to re check the back kitchen door.

Back in the kitchen mum and InuKimi were still at the kitchen island and mum was crying all her worried out while eating chocolate and cry talking all the pent up sad things to InuKimi who was just patting her back, InuKimi however noticed that we were back and the shock was evident on her face, I nodded to her and made my way to the laundry room, and used the same create to look out the window, so the guard was still there, it seems balconies, and the doorways had situated guards, meanwhile the rest were moving around the house and the wider perimeter with no reason at all, like blood ants on a mission to spread out and find food. "So what now?" Luna asked, I thought for a second, 'we need to be at least 100 meters away from the house any closer and father will know, we could knock out the guard at the door, and head straight out for 100 meters or try and strategically move around the back and side of the house towards the forest, even if I have to, I can knock out all those in our way, so long as I can sneak up behind them, but I can't do that to the general, it just won't work, and I know that, that kido won't knock out the hanyo's for long either.' I relayed all of this to Luna, we crossed to the other windows on the other side of the laundry room, and checked, from this position I could see there was more guards around the resident houses than I initially thought, and I saw a guard circling the grounds and about to turn and go back the way he came, I closed my eyes and focused, I could feel 4 placed at still positions one being at the back door, the others were all moving, two walked pass each other in the back area of the house and then would turn around and go back, one guard on each side of the house going back and forth that had most windows covered, and the front had the same as the back two guards passing each other back and forth, the houses has 4 guards moving around them, and four more at the west, south, east and north positions on the outer border, and I noticed the old demon in the cave in the forest but also another demon in the forest, but once I felt who it was I realised it was InuKimi's companion.'

This was beyond tricky, it was then that I felt it, the soul king was dead, I had been able to feel the reishi and reiatsu going off in the distance but that was a very distinguished feeling, I also noticed in my head that all the guards went rim rod straight and stopped moving, only the general moved quickly through the back door and up the stairs to my father's location, so did mother, InuKimi and the brothers, I also noticed that the guards weren't moving any more, this could work for us, right know we needed to move, I grabbed Luna and sprinted to the back door, I looked to the left and quickly placed my hand over the guards face and said "Tanma Otoshi" just above a whisper, I quickly caught him on the way down, and laid him against the wall, as if he had just sat down due to sore feet. I continued with Luna and moved through the back yard areas of the residences and towards the forest area, it helped that they all stopped and were looking up and towards the soul society, some having looks of disbelief, I tried to move fast but Luna was slowing me down, so I turned around and scoped her up into my arms and moved quicker, I was a shame I couldn't blend into the wind with another person it would have been far more easier.

I reached the forest and made my way over to the very otter edge where the drop off was and didn't stop, just leaping off the edge and landing on the ground far, far below us, I let Luna down onto her feet. We were about to Jump but I feel to my knees, I could feel the unbearable pain in my chest and I felt a void open up in my chest, I felt life leaving me, but it wasn't me, I knew it was Jushiro that it was happening to, Luna was in a panic and calling my name and asking if I was all right, but her voice was watered down and she was hazy in my vision, I could feel tears running down my face, "Jump, Luna take us now!" I said, she was scared and her eyes showed fright and worry but she did as I said and placed her hand onto my shoulder and said "I invoke Jump."

We arrived and nothing looked like the soul society, everything was broken and destroyed old buildings, the reishi in the air felt different and I couldn't feel many around us, I could tell where Jushiro was, I grabbed Luna and made our way to his location with my flash step, Luna was in my arms, so I didn't have to worry about pulling her along at too fast speeds, Once I got to the room, that had lots of scientific equipment in it, I noticed Jushiro on the floor in his own blood, no one else was there anymore, I let Luna go, and she stepped away from me, I kneeled down on the floor and placed my hand onto his back. He wasn't breathing, I couldn't feel or see his soul, he wasn't here anymore, I turned him over to his back and his eyes were hazy with nothing left inside, I noticed the patterns on his body, he must have called upon Mimihagi, 'so did he sacrifice himself, to get the others up above us to fight?' "I'm sorry Ren, he was a good man and selfless, even in his last act in life, don't let him down now." With Kagura's words, I stood up and said to Luna, "we need to Jump up to the soul kings palace, can you do that?" she nodded and placed her hand on me, and we were gone and arriving on another broken building, I looked around and noticed a large round sphere in the distance, it was condensed with a lot of energy and I could feel it's force from this distance, I could also feel faint reiatsu signatures, coming from inside, Luna's eyes were located on it as well, "Activate bankai Ren, that heavy gravity will be difficult to move through normally and take of your armour." I proceeded I tapped my finger on my armour, releasing it, till I wore long white pants held up by a gold metal belt, a white boob tube covered in gold plated armour, that extended and covered my upper chest, and both arms in gauntlets, my pointy ears showing, my purple demon marks showing on my face, arms, hands, ribs, lower back and hips. I grabbed my sword from thin air and through it up into the air, twirling around in a circle high into the sky and said "Bankai- Kika Suru Subete Sonzai Emperious Kagura (Vaporize all existence Emperious Kagura), the air and wind around us went silent, but nothing appeared, "did it work?" Luna slowly questioned me "of course it did, now let's go and see if we can help those inside of that gravity ball." I said taking of, jumping from one broken building to another and used the wind and air to help Luna, as we got closer, we noticed a green haired woman, jump off towards and into the ball as well leaving a broken building where she once stood, I grabbed Luna and said "Jump us inside and land next to those inside, you may not be able to move once we are inside, when I say go, you jump us out somewhere safe okay?" without a response, we were already inside.

Luna landed up right between two hollows, the green haired woman who was now kneeled over next to a blue haired Arrancar, that was an espada, he was grumbling about not dying like this or some shit, I could feel the pressure, but my senses allowed me to pinpoint the other three locations, all three nearly dead, but in very close proximity to my location, I extended my moko moko out and collected the young boy, Yoroichi and Kisuke. The green haired espada placed her had on Luna's shoulder, I noticed the blue haired hollow looking at her shocked as she had her hand on his shoulder and I could hear Kisuke behind me wrapped up in my tail with the other two, saying "Serenity?" I shouted to her "Luna NOW! Jump NOW! Before it explodes" she had a very had concentrated look on her face and her eyes were closed, this was cutting it close even for me, the next second I felt like my insides were pulled out and then rearranged and put back in, I saw bright white light, then pitch black I thought maybe I was dead, but then I landed on a sandy ground and a black sky. I heard everyone else moan in pain at the impact with the ground; once I took in our surroundings I knew that this was Hueco Mundo.

I let the three wrapped in my tail go, and I looked at Luna "you brought us to Hueco Mundo, are you mad, how are we supposed to help the others if we are here?" it was then that I noticed she was beyond exhausted, jumping between worlds especially while being ripped apart and travelling between them was stopped while the soul Kings powers were being absorbed wouldn't have been easy, I sighed and she responded "I panicked and he thought of this place and you were yelling at me to Jump, so here we are," She was laying on the ground bone tired, both of the previous espada's were now standing, and the other three behind me we still laying on the ground too, I didn't like this predicament, especially with the way the blue haired guy was looking at me. "Who the hell are yous two and what did yous just do?" he all but growled at me, seeing as I was the one that wasn't practically passed out. "I am Serenity and that is Luna, we decided to save your asses, so thank you would be the right thing to say," I said in an irritated voice, anger was easier to turn to rather than think over the other things that have happened since we got to soul society. The green haired woman, moved so fast she caught me off guard even with my bankai still active, and I remember hollow powers weaken demons, but the lady just hugged me so hard, I thought it could have been an attack, but she said "thank you so much Reni, you are so nice to come and save those you don't even know, isn't she Grimmjow?" she turned towards the guy who was still in his Resurrection, but he just "humphed" and turned away. "My name is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, but I know that's a mouthful so just call me Nel, and the blue brooding cat is Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, but you can call him Grimmy" I was shocked, she was so over the top, but before anyone could say or do anything Grimmjow spun around and snapped "like hell she can, and I've told you not to call me that!" I slowly smiled, they acted like siblings, and maybe they are, in a way. That's when I remembered the others need to be healed. I turned away, and moved the unconscious three onto their backs, I could feel that the young boy was on the edge of death, he also looked a lot like Yoroichi, maybe they are related, and I knew the healing kido was going to do nothing in this case, so I'll give him a kiss instead.

The other two bickering behind me, went quiet and looked in my direction, as my energy moved to my lips, causing them and all my visible demon markings to turn from purple to pure shinning white light, as I was bending over to place a kiss on him I heard the two behind me say "what are you doing?" I simply ignored them, and kissed the boy, I stayed in the same position for quite some time, before I pulled away, I wasn't as tired as I normally was he slowly opened his eyes and shot straight up into a sitting position and freaked out, "calm down kid, your safe okay!" I head Grimmjow say, I moved over to Yoroichi and gave her the same treatment but it took longer, and her eyes popped open while I was still kissing her, she chose that moment to deepen the kiss and slip her tongue into my mouth, resulting in my eyes popping open in shock and immediately pulling away saying "yuck, Yoroichi!" and rubbing at my mouth, she laughed heartedly and said "I couldn't resist" however she stopped laughing once her brother hugged her in relief however she complained that he was too soft as boy and he had to grow up to be a man. I continued onto Kisuke however in my head I thought 'if he pulls Yoroichi's tactic kiss on me I'll make him wish he died' and then proceeded just as I did with the last two, he took nearly the same amount of time as Yoroichi, but it was easier for me to tell when he was awake and he had begun to smile, I simply stopped and stepped away from him he sat up with his legs crossed and said "aww Serenity, I never knew you felt that way about me, nee" I death glared him and said "you and Yoroichi are two peas in a pod, it's ridiculous" however his face went serious and he said why are we in Hueco Mundo, by now the others were standing, except for Luna who was still asleep on her back in the sand, when I turned around I noticed that Grimmjow was back in his normal form. "We are here because Luna brought us here using a special technique, and because Grimmjow thought off this place, this is where we arrived, so don't blame me."

I ended up giving Yoroichi my moko moko to cover up her nakedness, I picked up Luna bridal style and we preceded to a place called Las Noches that Aizen once ruled, it was so we could get food, water, clothes and sleep comfortably, we had no idea how long it would take for the pathways between the worlds to open up again was gonna be, or how the war was going to go, but I had faith in Ichigo, I may have not known him, but if my Jushiro believed in him enough to leave the rest to him then so would I. I kept my Bankai up the whole time, I wasn't going to drop my defences, especially with a sleeping Luna and two very powerful hollows who we followed to our destination, once we arrived it took us a long time to get to any places that even looked remotely like living quarters most of it was just longa as hallways and no doors were marked either, and why was everything white? I voiced my thoughts "this place really needs some décor," both Nel and Grimm both stopped as did the rest of us, "I'll take Yoroichi to get clothes," said Nel and they both headed of down a right hallway, Grimmjow just said follow me, he led us to a tower that had one way in via a bridge, once we entered, I saw the open lounge room, an open kitchen area and an open stairway that went upwards to the next floor, next to the kitchen was sliding doors that went out to a large open balcony with no roof. "Follow me" he said, each floor we went up had its own lounge room, with a door leading to a large but plain bedroom with an ensuite and walk in robe that was empty, the stairs to the next level was adjacent on the other side of the room as the previous staircase, there was seven levels all together including the base level, apparently the top level was Grimmjow's and no one was to go up there, I was on the first level with Luna, sharing a bed, or her sleeping and me watching, Yoroichi's little brother was on the next level, Yoroichi was on the one above him and then Kisuke and then Nel and then Grimmjow. However, once I laid Luna down, I could feel all the rest of them congregate to the main level with the kitchen on it, it was easy to tell, seeing as when they went down one staircase they would need to cross the entire floor and lounge room, to get to the other staircase to proceed down to the next and continue this till they hit the bottom floor.

I was reluctant to leave Luna asleep and vulnerable but they were all on the bottom level, so no one could get to her and I can keep an eye on them all as well as get information and offer some if needed, so I headed down the staircase, all were on the couches, Yoroichi wore all white tight tank top that stopped just below her bust and low hip hugging white tights and black socks and white soul reaper shoes. She still had my tail with her but it was beside her on the couch and I saw Nel, lightly squeezing it in her hands and saying "it's so fluffy." Grimmjow had his legs spread out wide and feet up on the coffee table and both of the other boys we in single person sitting couch facing towards the other three on the lounge, I walked over and up to my tail, and directed my question to Nel and said "am I allowed my moko moko back?" she looked up in awe at me and repeated my words "moko moko, what exactly is that?" I sighed but both Yoroichi and Kisuke giggled and said in unison "it's her tail" which only made Nel act more in awe until she seem to realize "Oh I'm so sorry, it was just so soft and I was intrigued, how rude of me" I lifted my hand and my tail lifted and wrapped itself around onto my body just like how it was before, "A tail huh?" Grimmjow said looking unimpressed and his head held up by his hand, I nodded; Yoruichi piped up and said "oh by the way this is my younger brother Yushiro" I nodded towards him in hello, "this isn't going to be some friends club were we all meet up and exchange stories" Grimmjow grumbled, I took a seat on the last bit of the couch next to Nel.

"Come on Grimmjow, you must at least like us to bring us to your tower and allow us to live here until we can sort things out, only friends let friends crash on their couch" Kisuke said with a shit eating smirk, "who said…" he begun but his eyes narrowed onto Nel and he said "it was you" he seemed tense as if ready to pounce on her for a fight, you could really tell that he was feline in nature, "Well I for one am thankful" I spoke aloud, this seemed to make him relax and slump back to his position as I heard him grumble "you better be." My attention was taken by Kisuke as he said "so Serenity how long are you going to stay in that form let alone keep your bankai active, I thought you would have tired and released it by now" I looked at him shocked and surprised while the rest looked at me shocked and surprised except for Yoroichi who said "I'm so proud that you finally reached bankai but you don't need to show off," Grimmjow had a confused frown on his face as he said "I can't see anything, and the other two nodded in agreement with him, however I placed my hand on my chest plate, which changed me back to looking like my Shinigami self, with just the chest armour, no tail and I released my bankai resulting in me gripping the air which Kagura my zanpakuto appeared in it, I then laid her against the chair standing up. Shock was the only expression "how the hells do you now look like a reaper and what was that bankai, how come we couldn't feel it?" I exhaled; Kisuke seemed excited and offered to answer the questions, so I let him. "You see Lady Serenity InuTashio, is part of the Royal defence squad and her clan and her are very…'special' I heard Grimmjow grumble "defences squad, my ass" but Kisuke continued, "her family are demons and soul reaper Hanyo's, Serenity is the next heir and the oldest and strongest of all her siblings, she is sealed so that she can keep her powers to normal levels without hurting or killing others around her, she is let me see 320 years old, and she is one of the last dog demons left, she has many abilities and is very talented." He finally finished like a proud peacock, "so little miss heiress here is some big shot, if you were so amazing why you didn't help out sooner…" Grimmjow was interrupted but Nel interrupted "Grimmjow you shouldn't be so mean…" but then Yushiro said, "So who is the younger girl upstairs?"

"All very good questions, Kisuke started off, "the lady upstairs is Lady Lunafreya InuTashio the youngest in the family, they are not to engage in soul reaper business unless called upon by the soul king or have permission by either the head captain, squad 0 or central 46, I take it yous two went against orders to get to us." I nodded my head in agreement, but before any more words could come out of my mouth Grimmjow had stood up and threateningly said to me "So dog demon hey, I take it you guys are strong to be a last resort scenario, seeing as I haven't been able to sharpen my claws on bones and Ichigo is still in the soul society fighting or dead, what do you say to us fighting, I was not satisfied in that last fight anyway," He questioned, I narrowed my eyes at him and thought 'dammit, the last thing I want is to fight him' but Kisuke said "well you aint gonna get much of a fight, that ability Ren used on us three was extremely exhausting and took a lot of her energy, she is nowhere near 100%, so there's no need, besides Grimmjow I was hoping that you would come with me to the location I had all my equipment and tents set up before we left?" That really took his threating gaze off of me and over towards Kisuke, "like hell I want to go around with you carrying your useless shit like a man servant, just who you think I am?" He all but shouted at him before he levelled his stare at me and said "besides I'll go easy on her." I really didn't want to fight, I haven't even been able to sit down and sort through the last 24 hours and I knew that was going to hurt, I was trying really hard to focus on anything other than that in the back of my mind, it was easier when I had my bankai active, as my focus was on everything else but the true of the situation.

My clenched jaw and angry stare, must have been answer enough because Yoruichi said "That's no way to treat a lady Grimmjow, or is it something more, do you want her to beat you up just so she can heal you with a kiss, oh that's got to be it, your jealous that you missed out, I mean even Nel got to play with her tail, that's a pretty romantic gesture in its own way…" his eyebrow was twitching in annoyance, but before he could explode, I said "I don't want to fight you, 1- I'm tired, 2- I'm not leaving Luna alone and 3…" I trailed off, "there are some things I really need to come to terms with," I said softly, he gave me a quizzical look as I stood up and walked up the stairs, however I could feel soft, sad gazes on my back.

I had sat up in bed next to Luna all night and wept silent tears, as I realized I'm stuck here, I can't bring him or any of them back, I was of no help Luna did more than I did, all that training for nothing, I couldn't even save my mate, I'll never see him again, smell him, touch him or hear him, however every time I thought of him he always wore a smile in my mind's eye and I just knew he would say 'everything's alright, life goes on and you have done a lot, I gave up my life for many, besides I am old enough, you are just beginning, you have loads amount of potential and 100 times my life time to still live and give to others, so don't be sad just look to the future' I remembered when we were talking about the younger potential soul reapers and how proud he was, I would take care of the next generations for him and pass on his caring, loving and wise ways, to this I swear. I could feel Kagura smile and place a hand on my shoulder in support of my decision, after that all of the stress caught up and I was very tire, I taped my armour and I was wearing the same gold choker necklace as before but this time I had on a white sleeping Yukata, I crawled under the blanket and feel asleep, knowing Kagura would keep an eye out for us.

So it turns out, Kisuke and Grimmjow did go and gather his belongings and returned, it was all set up on the bottom floor where there was more than enough space for it, Yoruichi was eating bowl after bowl of food, that Yushiro had prepared for her, he was still cooking more for the rest of us, apparently he's a really good cook, the two espada's weren't around and I couldn't feel them in the tower, meanwhile Kisuke was playing around with some equipment that I had no idea what it did, Luna followed me down and said "good morning" but when she looked outside it was still a waxing moon up in the sky, "err…night?" I smiled, I sat next to Yoruichi at the kitchen island stools, as Luna went over to help out Yushiro, who blushed when she offered and meekly nodded his head, when Yoruichi finally came up to brother between a mouths full of food, I asked "where are the espada's?" she lifted her finger and said "ex-espada's don't let them hear you say that, they both went to raid more kitchens through las Noches seeing as we might be staying longer, plus we don't know the lay-out of this place, so it's pointless for us to try look as well," Luna piped up and said "that's so nice of them to do that for us," I nodded they do seem to be nice but Yoroichi laughed and said "Grimmjow is only doing it because he loves to eat human food something about the taste of it being nice." That's when I remembered Luna hasn't technically met anyone but must know of them from my stories, "so Luna this is Yoroichi, this is Yushiro her little brother, over there is Kisuke and Nel is the female Arrancar and the guy is Grimmjow, but ill reintroduce you to them when they come back, and everyone this is Luna the youngest." They all said their pleasantries and were making small talk until the door opened abruptly, they must have been moving fast because not even I sensed them, Grimmjow followed by Nel, carrying boxes, they placed them on the island, Luna had turned around after spooning up some more fried rice and saying to Grimmjow "hi, I'm Luna, you must be Grimmjow, do you want some breakfast?" she offered the most sweetest smile for him, he seemed to size her us first, this made me tense up, he was so close, if he wanted to hurt or kill her, he was in the prime position to, but he just took the bowl and said "yeah and hears some more food for you to pack away" he opened a draw and grabbed out a spoon, "Thank you Grimmjow-sama, and Nel-sama…" she was about to ask if Nel wanted some food as well, but she received a bone crushing hug from the hyperactive green haired lady, "oh thank you Luna, you are just the sweetest thing I have ever seen, and your so kind, not to mention you saved all of our hides" she took the bowl of food and a spoon and placed it down on the coffee table and begun to eat next to Grimmjow, he seemed not to mind, he also seemed very tame today, my attention was brought back to the bowl of food placed in front of me.

Kisuke finally joined the rest of us in eating but sitting on the couch nest to the arrancar's, once I was finished I sat in a single chair and noticed that Kisuke had his trademark hat on, so I voiced my thoughts "Kisuke did you seriously managed to save your hat even through that fight and near death?" I asked shocked not knowing if I should be amazed, or upset at myself for not realizing he had it earlier on him, 'is my attention span that terrible?'. It was Grimmjow that said "oh no he had a replica at his camp grounds and was the only real reason he wanted to go there to begin with," he had a cheeky smile and his voice was light with humour, "are you serious" I directed it at Kisuke with surprised eyes "maybe" Kisuke replied mysteriously and started woofing down his food so he could get back to playing with his trinkets, it was then that Luna had sat on the arm of my chair, I moved oved so she could slip down into my lap. "So you two are siblings, right? And so are yous two?" Nel asked as she first pointed to us and then to Yoruichi and Yushiro who just sat down in the other single chair, while all the others shared the lounge. We all nodded and Luna chose to answer "yeah, I am the youngest and Ren is the oldest, we are also the only daughters between us we have three brothers, one being her twin and the other two being identical twins as well." I decided that I was going to stop her if she decided to over share, however we didn't know how long we would have to live together and maybe it is better getting to know each other especially while in this situation. Yoruichi didn't offer any words about her personal life and was eyeing my reaction to Luna's over sharing, "So are yous two related as well?" Luna asked directing her question towards Grimmjow and Nel, Grimmjow sat up in shock but also angry and insulted apparently, and Nel laughed and said "See Grimmy, we have spent so much time together that we are practically family know!" she continued to laugh "NO! We are not related, thank the gods for that, what made you think that?" he directed at Luna, who was surprised at their opposite reactions, even Kisuke chocked on some of his food, and Yoruichi was snickering behind her hand. "oh I'm sorry Grimmjow-sama and Nel-sama, I just thought that seeing as yous are so relaxed around each other that yous must be family or at least friends?" she stated with the most innocent look on her face, she was good at getting people to open up and to how to play people, I mean after all she did that to Father for the past 310 years, she better be a master at it already. "well were not, not even friends we were only there in that shit hole because the circumstances turned out that way, so get it outta you head kid, I'm no one's friend here and I sure as hell aint related to anyone, do you even know how hollows work?" he questioned quite rudely, but honestly I just realised that no Luna had never learned the evolution of the hollows like I did in the soul society, I looked at her and said "that's right you don't"

Dead silence took the room, all we heard was Kisuke dropping his spoon into his empty bowl before saying "well Lady Luna, I would be happy to oblige in your education, why don't you follow me?" she simply said okay and got up, Kisuke left his dirty bowl along with the other 2 bowls, they went over to his things, he pulled out a tecta and large white notepad, as he begun to draw bunny like figures on the paper and explain the life, death and rebirth cycle and how hollows evolve, I face palmed when I saw the drawings knowing that they were Rukia's, but then I softened when I thought of her, I hope she is okay, Grimmjow looked over to what they were doing and had an unbelievable hilarious shock on his face, which was so funny, I bursted out laughing.

Kisuke had said that if the gateways between worlds opened he would know straight away via his machines, and he also turned down Luna's offers to take us home once she collected her energy which wasn't hard with all the reishi in the air here, I also didn't want her to hurt herself, and leave herself vulnerable again like that, Kisuke had tried opening a garganta his was but it didn't work nor for the arrancar's. Every breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snack was left to Luna and Yushiro to handle, much to the delight of the rest of us in the tower, Yoruichi helped Kisuke with prep, doing experiments, going into the waste lands of Hueco Mundo, meanwhile a lot of the time Nel spent her time with the younger ones, Grimmjow would either seclude himself in his room or be outside doing god knows what when it wasn't a meal time, I was idle, I didn't like it, I wanted to continue with training, especially right now, the world wasn't destroyed but we still don't know what has happened in soul society and I'm sure father and the clan are having puppies and kittens over Luna and I missing, I though maybe they would have used the medo stone to force us back, but haven't or can't or it could be it isn't working? Other than that, there is no day, if we want to enjoy sunlight, we have to go out under the fake sky and still I can feel is artificial, the days blend together, I couldn't even tell how long we have been here, but my inactivity is making my restless, something needs to happen soon. Grimmjow still tries riling up people in the tower for a fight, he was luck that Yoruichi is excited enough to oblige him, but he is still gunning to try and fight me, and the way I am restless lately, I feel like agreeing.

It was then that I felt Luna touch my hand, "we have been here a while, hey? And you have not done anything neither have I, maybe we should go out and train?" she offered, she must feel like she is falling behind as well, I nodded in agreement. We briefly mentioned, we were 'going out', much to our dismay Grimmjow cocked his head up off the couch so fast that he said "I'll come!" much to enthusiastically for my tastes, I heard Kisuke say "be back by dinner time, and you stay away from those trouble makers" in a condescending mothers tone, "YES MUM!" both Luna and I said in unison and Grimmjow rolled his eyes at the whole conversation.

Grimmjow followed us the whole way to the doomed sun lit area, we even walked slow thinking it would annoy him and he would just leave, however it was me that got more aggravated, I just need to breath and relax, I thought. "Say can we now fight?" he whined like a child, I shook my head no and said "we are going to train…" but he said "good so am I, why don't we do it together?" I could feel his eyes boring into the back of my head from behind me and I knew he had a shit eater's smirk on his face without having to look, but before I could say anything Luna spoke up "oh would you Grimmjow? That is so kind off you, and here you were stating not too long ago that we weren't friends", I quickly looked at her shocked and said "Lunaaa!" but she just smiled at me, "maybe he's bored to, just like you?" and with that she skipped off to start learning more of the Kido I demonstrated for her a while ago. My mouth was still agape as that little shit left me there with this blood thirst hollow feline, I looked at him he was smirking and said "shall we?" I frowned and pulled my zanpakuto out, and assumed my defensive stance, "so straight for the sword hey? Don't know how to find hand to hand?" He was being all fucking smug, I stood up straight and smiled and placed my sword back in its place on my hip, before saying "I don't think you would like my type of hand to hand combat fighting Grimmjow, he raised his eyebrow and said "try me", with that I released my armour to what it was like on the first day we met, with no swords present and my body in its natural state with less closes in the way and my tail showing, he smiled and said "that's more like it!" as he got into a fighting stance, as did I but not a similar one to his, I could feel his blood thirstiness and I knew he had the upper hand over me, but I could hear my demon howl in excitement as my heart beat quickened.

He rushed at me, pulling back his fist, I could tell he wasn't using his full speed nor strength, which I was privately thankful for, I lifted my hand and my claws glowed green and my poison whip came out and went to spiflicate him, but he dodged, he looked at me surprised and said "what the hell was that, this is meant to be hand to hand you bitch" his comment made me angry as I said "this is an extension of me, therefore this is how your gonna have to fight me, suck it up princess or leave" I mentally hit myself 'what are you doing, are you trying to get him to go all out and kill you?', his smirk returned and he launched at me but faster this time.

I quickly spun around making the one whip circle me in defence, waiting for him to show up, I closed my eyes trying to feel him like how Kagura trained me, she was actively trying to find his presence as well and shout out his location to me, and then I felt him come at me from above, I shot my left hand up and my right one continued to make the twirling whip around my body, I let my left one bring a poison whip out of my nails and shot towards Grimmjow, he dodged to the left, but I made my whip follow him, which caught him off guard and nick his forearm as he blocked, I could feel that it didn't penetrate his skin as his defences were up making his skin solid. He paused and said "neat trick, but that can only work so many times you know, and you haven't moved from your first position," I opened my eyes and said "does that say more about me or your fighting experience?" I smiled when he didn't like the jab I had at him, he rushed me yet again but this time, he went low and kicked my feet out from below me, I flipped backwards using my hand to somersault and not land defenceless, but he didn't let up he was straight onto the attack again pushing me back and making my stance unsteady, 'my god he is fast' was all I could comprehend, every time I nearly caught him with my whip he would disappear at such fast speeds, so this is what it feels like for a soul reaper to fight a demon, I see how they don't notice their powers being dampened by their opponent, I heard him say "pay attention!" as he punch his hand straight through my defences and into my face, breaking my nose, fracturing my cheek bone, splitting my eyebrow and I could feel the instant swealing, he backed up straight away, and whistled low and said "that's a real shiner" with the biggest smirk, I death glared him, but I raised my demon powers to flush my body, and my markings shined up a brighter purple, as my injuries all but disappeared. "Regeneration?" he asked but I ignored him, as I rushed him this time stopping right in his personal space and upper cut him, as I lightly springed my body of the ground to put more force into my hit but also to be able to reach his jaw, It hit dead on and I heard a crunch but the shocking pain running from my hand up my arm and back was answer enough for me, he hadn't even moved, his just smiled down at me and did a 360 spin and kicked me in the stomach sending me flying above the sands and into a dune. Hitting the sand dune was pleasurable compared to the broken ribs and hand, fingers, wrist and elbow in my right arm, It was then that I heard Kagura say call upon me, and so I did, when I threw I'm zanpakuto in the air and said "Breath Kagura!" Grimmjow stopped first thinking I was going to get rid of it but then in happiness that this obviously boring fight for him was hopefully going in a better direction, while he stopped I healed my wounds again, and bit down on my thumb and released my four seals on my arm, once my spiritual energy went through the roof, I heard him say "about time" I caught my now formed scythe that I held with one hand.

He stood all cocky with his hands in his pockets of his zipped up jacket and said "I'm surprised you have this much sprit energy it's more of a captain class level, however I take it that this is only your Shikai, you're sure you don't want to take the opportunity and go straight to Bankai?" Instead of answering I rushed him, and with my flash step, showed up behind him, he had to quickly put his arm up to guard, my scythe poll hit his arm, and the bladed tip left the smallest line on his cheek, with a little drop of blood rolling down his jaw, his eyes narrowed down and saw the scratch, he then seemed so pissed, that I thought for a second I would regret this, but both my demon instinct and Kagura egged me on, to fight. It was at the last second I saw and heard the light in his hand, light up red just as I knew he was about to say 'cero' I dodged in the nick of time, he then pulled his zanpakuto out of its sheathe and charged me again.

It felt like the fighting was going on forever as he was so difficult to fight, he would get up and close using his sword to dodge and hold Kagura at bay, but then use his other to try hit me or set of a bala or cero, it was always the bala that hit, as it was so quick, he even got me in a bind by making me defend against a forming cero and quickly latched onto my scythe poll arm, and then threw, yes I said threw his sword away and tried to cero me through the chest, leaving me burnt and without any top on, I used my demon powers to heal and my necklace choker morphed around my entire chest and abdomen to cover me up but all more protection, it made a sleek gauntlet with defensive blades jutting out so I could adjust to his quick and in close attacks. He lifted his eyebrow and said "cool armour you got there, let's see how strong it really is?" by the time I looked up, I noticed a large blue cero, that I couldn't escaped, It hit point blank, I could feel the amour hold, but it was like his attack moved through me and damaged my insides, I spat up blood and I could feel broken ribs yet again, I healed once again, now getting exhausted from doing so much in so little time, He cocked his head to the side "I'm surprised your still standing after my grand ray cero, but that won't last long, he held his sword as and crouched down, and laid his finger nails on the blade, he racked them down the now glowing blue blade and said "grind, Pantera."

I felt scared and quickly said "Bankai Vaporize all existence Emperious Kagura" my scythe disappeared, everything slowed down and I could feel everything, I harnessed the wind, and cold feel all around me, even him shooting towards me at incredible speeds, I instantly blocked and used my thoughts to cut at him, at the last second, his instincts must have told him something was there that he couldn't see, as he quickly backed up and looked all around me and himself, he was on edge, little did he know I could still do it even from this distance, however I won't let him know that just yet. I moved in closer to his position, using multiple attacks all at once, to converge on him, one going for his legs, another for his head, another for his back and the last for his waist and ribs, I also used my bankai to move faster through the air, and appear a second after all of my hits hit, the only one that hit was the one from behind and it took the tip of his tail, he yowled in anger, I shielded myself from the impact wave his voice made, his eyes seemed to pierce me, he was now out for blood, which in return, I could feel he was after my fluffy tail, I kept dodging and using my bankai for invisible walls and barriers, so that he would hit something invisible to his eyes, but once he got to close, I used my poison whip once more and hit it at the same time my wave slash hit his collar bone, the poison, entered the shallow injury left by my bankai, I saw shock on his face, as I knew he could feel the acid like substance slowly enter his body, it was incredibly painful, or so I heard.

I quickly doubled back, I can now play from a distance, slowly exhausting him as my poison does its job, taking his health, energy and stamina, but it make take a while due to him being a hollow, but the more your energy runs through your body and same with your blood, the quicker it takes it course. I smirked at him then and said "painful hey, and here you said that you would only fall for that trick so many times, we this is the cost for falling for it," I smirked at him, however once he raised after taking a knee in pain, he smirked too, "don't get to cocky child, after all you only just managed to do some real damage for the first time in this whole fight, say how many times have you had to heal yourself already?" His smirk was back like a light bulb turned on to 1000 watts, "don't fall for it, he's trying to rile you up so that you let your defences down!" Kagura all but yelled at me, 'I know' I thought to her, I stuck with my game plan, of attacking from afar but he kept rushing, and trying to get in close, I slipped under and behind him, at which point, he launched green like spiked bullets at me from under the folds of his armour on his elbow, I blocked but the explosion sent me flying back, "FOCUS!" I heard Kagura yell, just as I noticed he was behind me, it was then I felt a full body pain, as my tail was cut in half, with the three quarters off it falling to the ground, I had never felt pain like that, yes its removable and all that but 'holy shit' my eyes were wide and my back arched, I lost all thought and concentration which had my zanpakuto appear in the sand at my feet, no sound left my lips, and my spine arched, and it was like I couldn't move from that positon, I felt heat and raw power slam into my back, sending me flying with a large cero.

I was lying face down, on a dune, my vision was blurry, but I could see him walking casually towards me in his full form, as sinister as ever, I felt my armour back to how it normally sits on my body, and my soul reaper clothes back on, I could feel my healing sword back on my hip, but knew Kagura wasn't with me, even though she was still yelling at me to get up, I couldn't feel my back and all of my reiatsu was spent keeping me alive from the blast, if I tried to heal myself again I would be about of my demon energy, I also didn't have enough to use the fairy law and Resurrection isn't helpful right now, he was gripping my tail in his claws piercing it and leaving a trail of blood as he walked towards me. I honestly thought he was going to rip my heart from my chest the second he got to me, I tried to lift myself up, but then I could feel, I had no skin on my back, all was burnt off and my bones were crunching and scraping against each other as they were cracked and broken letting out a high pitch scream at my attempts to get up, 'so this is the power of these Arrancar, not to mention the power they hold over us demons and always have.' Once we was right in front of me he kneeled down and said "So I take this is you is all you've got, and after the others talk so high and mighty about you, I must admit you we okay at best but this is then end of our little spar…" I wheezed out "spar? You're fucking joking right?" I couldn't believe how much stronger we was, it felt like we were worlds apart in power, he just laughed at my words, but released his resurrection and sheathed his blade, It was then that I noticed my blade placed at his hip by his belts, he leaned over, flopped me over onto my back uncaringly causing me to scream again in pain, he placed the end of my severed tail on my stomach and lifted me up bridal style, which resulting in so much pain I blacked out.
