I don't own Bleach, I only own myself(Brielle)
11
Ichigo, Brielle, Aizen, Isshin, and Soul king showed up in the throne room where all the captains are. Ichigo looks around, he found his friends, they must have come here when he and his soul sister left. He also saw who they were waiting for, Byakuya Kuchiki, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Nemu Kurotsuchi, Retsu Unohana, Hanataro Yamada, Isane Kotetsu, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Yachiru Kusajishi. Ichigo wondered why they took so long, weren't they supposed to be with the others to begin with?
Aizen looked around to everyone to see if they're all there. When he saw that they were, he addressed them, "Now that everyone is here, we can get down to business." Aizen said calmly.
"Hold on, no one told us how we got here, what's going on, or who they are." The person that said this was, Ikkaku Madarame. At the last thing he said, he was pointing at the Soul king and the royal guard.
Kisuke Urahara stepped up. "Now, now, no need to panic," He is hiding his smile behind his fan. "I can explain how you guys got here, since it was me who did it." He whispered the last part. "But first, do you know of the story, the one where demons tried to kill the Soul king? Well, it's true." There were gasps throughout the entire room. "Yes, I know, it's a shocking discovery. Now demons in the story have returned, and are looking to kill the Soul king again; but this time for revenge." He finished telling everyone what was going on.
Everyone is in shock, they were saying stuff like, 'Demons are real?' Or, 'Demons are trying to kill the Soul king again?' Yamamoto silenced them, once they were quite he looked at the Soul king. "Is what he said true?" He asked. The Soul king nodded his head 'yes'. Yamamoto looked back over to Urahara. "How did you get us here?"
"I'm glad you asked!" Kisuke said in his cheerful tone. "I've created a device that is like a black hole; but unlike normal black holes, this one sucks up souls with high spiritual energy. Now the 'black hole' is actually a garganta, that is why you are here and not in Soul Society." Kisuke explained.
"Why aren't we in Soul Society?" Renji asked.
"Well, Renji, that is because the demons have the Soul Society overrun. They've been in hiding there for a few months now, slowly gathering." Replied Kisuke.
"How did they sneak past us!?" Demanded Sui-Fon. (Is that how you spell her name?)
"They hid in the shadows themselves." Brielle realized.
"Correct!" Said, Kisuke. "Now that I explained how you got here, I think introduction are in order." He looked over to the Soul king and his guard, as did everyone else
The Soul king stepped up. "My name is, Osamu, the Soul king." Introduced -now named- Osamu.
Next up was the big women with purple hair. "Some of you know me already, but to those who don't, my name is, Kirio Hikifune, Ruler of Grain, member of the royal guard." Introduced Hikifune.
Next was a bold man with a black beard and is wearing red prayer beads around his neck. "My name is, Ichibe Hyosube, High priest, commander of the royal guard. Call me monk though, because you might lose your voice." Introduced and warned Ichibe.
Next was a man with black hair in a regent hairstyle, with tapered sideburns. "My name is, Tenjiro Kirinji, Hot Spring Demon, member of the royal guard." Introduced Tenjiro.
Next up was the funny haired man with sunglasses that spoke to Ichigo before. "My name is, Oetsu Nimaiya, God of the Sword, also a member of the royal guard! Nice to meet cha!" Nimaiya introduced in a cheerful, carefree tone.
Last up was a young woman with black hair and a golden ornament that is in the shape of a crescent moon. "My name is, Senjumaru Shutara, Great Weave Guard, member of the royal guard." Introduced Shutara.
After they were done introducing themselves, everyone else were in shock; the Soul king and the royal guard are here and not in the Soul Palace. When the captains, lieutenants, and espada got out of their shock, they introduced themselves as well.
When all of this is done, Izuru Kira remembered something that Aizen said a while ago. "Um, Aizen, you called Ichigo and Brielle 'soul siblings', what is that?" Everyone looked over to Aizen, also wanting to know the answer.
"We'll explain that." Ichigo and Brielle said in unison. Brielle looked at everyone. "You might want to sit down for this, it's going to take awhile."
It has taken five minutes for everyone to find a mat, chair, or cushion to sit on. Once everyone was seated, Ichigo began. "Okay, we'll start with how normal soul siblings are formed." Ichigo sighed, "Okay, here we go." He mutter to himself. "Soul siblings are normally formed while in the cycle of rebirth. A human soul that is powerful, can bond with a spirit animal. The human soul and the spirit animal have to choose each other, but that's not a problem since they're drawn to each other. Once the soul and spirit find one another, that is when they make their bond. The bond is unbreakable, once it's formed, you are bound to that soul for all eternity." Ichigo paused, letting his words sink in. "Soul siblings are born together, they die together, and they're reborn together again. This process is repeated. The only way to break it, is to destroy their souls." After Ichigo was done, he took a deep breath.
"The spirit animal is two times stronger than the human soul. The reason is so the spirit animal can protect the human soul. If the human soul was killed, the spirit animal will die with them. This rule is not the same for the spirit animal, the spirit cannot die. When the human soul dies, the spirit animal takes the soul and finds a new family to be reborn into. Now this process takes hundreds of years. Back to the two time stronger thing; the spirit animal will let the soul fight all the time while the spirit watches. The spirit will only interfere when the soul is about to be killed, like...if the soul can no longer move or is losing too much blood, if that last part happened, the spirit does a hit and run and find a safe place to heal the soul's wounds." Brielle added a little more detail to the explanation.
"Wait, but you fought that demon like an hour ago, you didn't let Ichigo fight it." Renji stated.
"Ichigo didn't have Zangetsu - still doesn't - he would have died." Brielle replied. "Besides, I can fight with Ichigo. I just don't do it, because, well, you already know how powerful Ichigo is, imagine me." Brielle said in a matter-of-fact tone. Then she remembered something. "Oh yeah, almost forgot. While the soul grows in strength, so does the spirit. When the spirit stops growing, the soul can catch up; when that happens, it means that they hit their strength limit. They can't grow anymore." Brielle finished.
Everyone in the room was surprised, they didn't know that could happen in the cycle of rebirth, and that soul siblings can be so powerful, or was that just Ichgio and Brielle? But then, Orihime remembered something Ichigo said. "Wait, you said 'normal way'. Is there another way?"
Brielle shook her head. "No, mine and Ichigo's case was different." Brielle sighed, not knowing how to explain that without telling them a legend that is long forgotten.
"Have any of you heard of the legend, 'The Soul that has Awaken the Dark Dragon'?" Ichigo asked, almost everyone shook their heads 'no'.
"I have. It's a very old legend, I'm not surprised that not everyone knows it." Said Aizen. Osamu, his guard, and Yamamoto nodded their heads in agreement. They have also heard of the legend.
"What is 'The Soul that has Awaken the Dark Dragon', and how do you two know it, if it's so old?" Isshin asked while looking at the soul siblings.
The soul siblings sighed, "Well, how about we just tell you the story, and you can try to figure it out how we know it. How does that sound?" Asked the black and red dragon.
Everyone agreed to that. Then the soul siblings started to tell them the story.
To be continued...
'The Soul that has Awaken the Dark Dragon' This is what the next chapter is going to be called. I was going to put it in this chapter, but decided not to. I want this part to be like a mini story, if you know what I mean. So I hope my chapters are getting better, and I hope you like this one! ^^
P.S. Osamu means ruler.
Ichi: Wait, you're not putting the legend in this chapter? Why?
enj/bri: I want cliffhangers, and this is long enough.
Ichi: There is another reason, isn't there?
enj/bri: ...I've been wanting to name a chapter. ^^'
Ichi: Oh yeah, you've been wanting to do that. By the way, keeping this legend away from them for a week, is a little evil. Some of the viewers are going to want to know how this legend is going to be like.
enj/bri: Well...then...I'll be slightly more evil. :3 I've read a lot of fanfics, and I never read one that sound even close to this legend that I have in mind.
Ichi: *shiver* Please review... *sneak out of the room, before I see him*
