The day after we got up and made our way into the city, we continue to look around until we encounter something, well, more like someone, we ducked around the corner as dad and Ichigo looked around the corner to see that little girl Yachiru running about with the big guy Kenpachi just behind her with his signature smile, man that guy is creepy, even for me, I don't want to face him, I really don't, after they leave we head off again, Kel was in mums pouch still but this time she was awake, she kept an eye out for anything strange.
We reach a junction once again, we end up going to the right, Kel said there was something down that way, she couldn't describe it, we came to an open area were this guy with red hair and some tribal tattoo on his forehead stood there in front of us, as soon as he saw Ichigo he was confused" hey Ichigo, why are you with those Ryoka? You better have not have been turned"' Ichigo steps forwards and rushes are this guy and stops just in front of him" Renji listen to me, these guys aren't bad, all they want if the boy that was found in the ally way, that's all, they aren't from here" Ichigo turns around to face dad and then turns back" oh, and you should remember, that OTHER monster from a while back" Renji flinches as he heard this, he tilts to the side to see us and shakes uncontrollably once he sees dad" you got to be kidding, Kenpachi is enough, and now HIM!, man, the old man isn't going to be happy with this Ichigo, but you are one of us so we have to take your words into account, seeing as I don't think we even gave you a rank, you may even be a vice captain, or one of the seats" Ichigo laughs and shakes his head he then looks more serious" Renji, seriously, they only want their son, nothing else, will you help?" Renji looked at dad who simply smiled and waved, mum on the other hand, well, let's just say, he said yes, with this new guy on the team we should be able to find Eliot soon.
In another part of the city the old man that Eliot encountered was talking among a group of people, each one with a white cloak, ones we knew of were Kenpachi Zaraki, Soi Fon and Sajin Komamura among others all of them forming 2 lines down either side of the old man" Captain Komamura, how is the boy? Is he doing well?" Sajin looked towards the old man and nodded" he's doing well, we have detected an anomaly, he seems to have 2 other souls with in him, much like what Ichigo has told us of the 2 souls within him, I do believe he knows about them" one person with a strange get up around his head spoke up in a rather direct manner of speaking" why not let me dissect the boy? I'm sure I could find something of use from opening him up" after he said this Faiz the fox kangaroo hybrid just stomped her right foot on top of him, he was lying there flat on the ground with a big round fox kangaroo sitting on his back" don't you ever say that again Mayuri Kurotsuchi, you have no right to even think that towards a child, you may not have compassion, but you do have fear, and if you try and dissect him, I WILL make you FEAR ME!" she beard her fangs at him and even let a bit of her saliva drop to the floor, it bunt through the wood like acid, all of the other Captains stood back, even Sajin, did he not know about that?" ENOUGH! Faiz, release captain Kurotsuchi" she growled and then got off of him, she smacked him with her tail and walked towards Kenpachi and Sajin, she was in Kenpacki's division but was married to Sajin, kind of funny, to be honest, I would love to hug her, she's so cute, I do have to wonder if she's related to mum or not, looks like it, everyone looks towards the old man' no one is do anything to the boy, he is under Faiz's and Sajin Komamura's care, they are responsible for his health and wellbeing at this time, no one is to harm him for ANY reason, even if he breaks one of our laws or rules, he is to be pardoned on ALL accounts' wow, Eliot gets off scot free, lucky.
Back to us, we were running towards the largest part of the city as fast as we could, we did encounter a few foes, but as soon as they saw Ichigo and Renji they just let us pass, I guess these guys are highly ranked or something, we just kept going, until, well we hit a wall, well, more like we were backed into one, we encountered him again, man, he really was scary, we were up against a wall while he just stood there with his sword in hand and the girl on his back who just giggled, Ichigo tried to run around him to strike but failed, Chad tried to grab his arm but got knocked down, dad stayed still and calm, mum on the other hand managed to get behind him and hit him in the back, Yachiru fell into mums pouch, she saw this as a good opportunity, with Kel in my arms mum decided to try something, as Kenpachi got up he looked around for the girl but couldn't find her, he was getting frantic, he looked up and saw a note, it said "if you want the girl back, leave us along, don't even follow us, wait 2 days and to the main order room at noon, she WILL be there' he just ripped the paper in half, he had no choice but to wait, he then smiled widely, the note never said about others looking, he ran to his divisions barracks, he slammed the doors open and yelled" ALL OF YOU! GET OUT THERE AND FIND YACHIRU! A BUNCH OF RYOKA KIDNAPPED HER! SO GET A MOVE ON! Or I'll slaughter each and every one of you!" they all ran out the doors and started to look, this way, he won't risk getting the girl hurt.
We ran to a storage area and hide inside one pf the buildings, we all sat down and recouped our strength, Yachiru on the other hand found it funny" you guys really are fun, so what next? Does Kenny have to kill all of you to win the game" mum tapped her on the head for that one" young lady I do not approve of that manner of speech, in other words, shut, up, your under our watch right now, all we are here for is to get Eliot back, that is all, we don't care if Kenpachi wants to fight, if he find us, then I will take care of him" dad was scared, how I know you ask, well, he was in the corner of the room huddled up on a ball shaking, man, mum must really be powerful" Nero, I want you to keep Kel with you, no matter what, you keep her safe" I look at mum and nod, Kel on the other hand looks at the door, she could tell we were being hunted for, it was a pain in the ass, we all grabbed a bite to eat and then got some rest, I snuck out and ran about, one thing I use to do was leave at night and run, I just ran about, I needed to train, if I didn't, I would be able to protect Eliot and Kel, I have to be strong, I can't rely on other to help me, I need my own strength and then others, if I'm weak, I will die, I must be strong, I can't let anything beat me, I ran and ran, I didn't care were, I just ran, after 3 hours I turned back, I had gotten a few miles away, man, I guess I got carried away, I was only a few feet away from the building until, SMACK!' ARGH!' I fell back on my butt and looked up, I looked at what stood in front of me and saw it to be Faiz, she was just, there, her huge belly facing me, her soft eyes and smile look down at me, she was adorable, I could help but touch her pouch, it was so soft, her fur was like silk, she even purred when I touched her, that was just cute, I got up and looked at her, I came up to the top of her belly, that's all?, man, she really is like mum" well hello dear, and who have we here?" I step back for a moment and then dart off, I ran as fast as I could and ducked behind a corner" man, that was close, ARGH!, man I had the perfect chance then, I should have hugged her to compare it" I just shake my head and hit myself a few times' now now, you don't need to do that, if you really want to hug me then go ahead, I don't mind, I could always do with a hug, I don't have that much interaction with humans, well, living, humans that is' I look up is shock to see her again, but this time she was acting all cute and such, she just looked at me with her big soft eyes, she even had her tongue sticking out and had her hand behind her back' you, you really are cute, you know that right?' she smiled and pulled her tongue back in' why thank you hun, now, would you like that hug, or not?' I didn't know what to do, I thought at it for a moment and then jumped, she looked around but couldn't see me, I reappear right in front of her and just squeeze her round belly tightly" what the hey, I may as well give you a big hug, you deserve I for being this cute.
After a minute I let go and head off" well, that boy really is something, he has 2 souls, his, and another's, Sajin, tomorrow, we end it, once and for all" Sajin jumps down from the roofs and walks to her" I guess it is time to end it, they've been here for too long, so, what are we to do?" Faiz smiles softly, she knows just what to do" come, lets plan it out over some tea, and then we shall rest, I need to put the boy back into my pouch once we get back" they walk off into the shadows, as they fade from sight, something else comes into view, a small patch of black smog, it just floats around, a soul reaper walks into it and becomes trapped, he screams in fear but nothing came out, his voice was gone, the fog surrounded him and then vanished, only the cloak remained.
The night went on, I slept in mums pouch with Kel, mum was awake once I got back, and her idea of punishment, was making me do exactly what I wanted, she picked me up and forced me into her pouch with Kel, we slept well, it was nice and warm, heck, it was just wonderful, I couldn't really describe it, it's not every day you get to be in a giant kangaroos pouch, especially when that kangaroo is your own mother, dad was no were to be seen, in fact he was outside on the roof, he was just standing there, looking out over the area, he saw Sajin and Faiz, he just frowned once he saw them" you 2 can be such a pain, well, I guess it all ends, soon" his eyes then catch something in the distance" great, something else to cause trouble.
The morning came around and we all got up, well, not all of us, mum, me and Kel were still asleep, they all agreed to let us sleep, even Yachiru agreed, dad got up and gather everyone to talk" we got an issue, well, 2 really, Eliot is with 2 individuals here, but in order to get him back, we need to beat them in a game, the other things, we have a shadow on the loose' everyone looks at him in confusion, Renji raises his hand" what the heck are you talking about? A shadow on the loose? Come on, shadows don't have minds of their own" he feels a tap on his shoulder and turns to see a transparent draconic headed creature with 3 horns and with their arms crossed, they were black scaled and cloaked, on their arms they had chains dug into them like stone, he yells out in fear and cowers in the corner" every one, meet Meloche, she's a shadow, and she happens to be independent from me, in fact, she chooses to be with me, if she so chooses, she could leave me, but right now, she is here to help, don't bother trying to talk with her, even I can't get her speak" Meloche just floated there, she didn't even make a sound, all she did was watch, she drew her eyes to my direction, Nexus opened one of my eyes and looked at her, they were in a dead lock, until both looked away from each other, Nexus closed my eye so I could sleep and Meloche turns her nose up to her" hahahaha, I guess you and Nexus don't get along, oh well, a shadow and ghost never do get along, oh well.
Dad and the other chose to leave us here, well, Yachiru stayed as well, but Orihime had to stay as well, she just played a few games and ran about the building, Orihime wasn't enjoying it, she was getting the brunt of it all really, she just sat there as Yachiru just ran about all over the place, Kel woke up and was shocked by how much energy the girl had, she just tucked back down into the pouch and stayed in place, I woke up and saw her as well, I just laughed a little and then closed my eyes to relax, mum on the other hand stayed asleep the whole time, I guess she either has selective sleeping or she just wasn't woken up by her antics.
Dad and others searched about, what they were looking for were any signs of that fog, they came across a few cloaks and one or 2 Zanpakuto lying about on the ground with the smell is smoke in the air, they had covered a good amount of the city but still could not find any leads, well, not until they encountered a young boy with white hair, it was the one from before, Renji and Ichigo stepped forwards t towards him' Captain Hitsugaya, please let us pass' he looked at them and simply stepped aside' I had no orders saying anything about blocking you, only to lead you towards the captain commander' dad looks at him and scans what he said, he detected one thing wrong, why would HE be saying this? He's not the sort to just let someone walk by unless he knows them, unless its Ichigo were he just doesn't even bother' dad puts his hand on Ichigo's shoulder and shakes his head from side to side" sorry Toshiro, but we need to go" this didn't sit well with him, Toshiro pulls out his sword and gets ready for a fight" I am truly sorry Ichigo, but HE must not go any farther, I was given orders specifically to keep him at bay, he is not to go past here without either being dead, or captured" dad steps forwards and faces him, his blank face said it all" as long as I get MY son back, I will obey, but if you hurt him, or anyone else, then, you will wish, I hadn't returned, Toshiro Hitsugaya, mark my words, you WILL, wish I hadn't come back' he holds out his hands together so he could be cuffed, after that, he was taken to the main order room, all of them were there, all the captains, even Kenpachi, dad was kneeling down on the ground facing the commander, the old man looked at him and then spoke' it has been a long time, but not long enough, now, why have you returned?, Rider" Rider?, what's that mean? Like riding a bike? Horse? Whatever, dad just looks at Sajin, Sajin simply looks away, the commander didn't like that, I guess he doesn't like to be ignored" Will you listen to what I am saying!" dad looks at him and smiles, all he does is grin" stop that this INSTANT!" he stops smiling but this time, gets up" you want to know the reason, well, you already know the reason, well, dad, were is MY son?" wait? WHAT?! Dad? His dad was there? Ok, this is getting strange now' dad turned around and looked at Sajin.
He turns towards dad and sighs' he's with your mother, were else would he be?, you know I wouldn't let him get hurt" dad laughs, and then turns back around' well, there you go, that's the reason, I can here to get my son back, someone brought him here, so I came to take him back, he's not use to our world, he's human, pure human, he has one trait, and I'm sure at the least, one of you has seen it, Grande" at the mere mention of that name Rangiku collapses to the ground in fear, she back up to the wall breathing heavily, she was in shock" well, I see she knows, well, I best be on my way now, I shall see you at home father, remember, the keys under the mat' and with that, he vanished without a trace.
Me, mum and Kel had woken up and were keeping Yachiru under control, we managed to tie her up and hold her down in mums pouch, but only just, she somehow had the power to fly, how that works I don't understand, Ichigo and the other came back but dad wasn't with them, they apologise for what has happened, we all leave the building and head towards one of the barracks, we didn't know which one it was until we met this guy in glasses, wait, could it be? It was, that guy from before, heck it's like he was expecting us, ok, this place is just strange, Renji and Ichigo were in front while me, mum and Kel were at the back" Lieutenant Iba? What are you doing out here?" the man just looks at them with a frown, he then points at us at the back and says" you 3 are horribly LATE!" late? Uh, what? How are we late? Even mum was confused, Iba just rushed over to us and pushed up all through the huge doors, man, this guy is strong, why didn't he do anything before at the junction? Ok this place, REALLY is weird! IM not even going to bother trying to understand this place.
We were lead or rather shoved into a large open area, all of us stood there in confusion, even Ichigo and others were confused, well, Chad wasn't for some reason, does he know something? After a while we had some snacks that Iba brought us, we all enjoyed a good cup of tea and some sandwiches, Ichigo didn't enjoy the tea much, nor did Renji, mum felt it would be a good idea to sit on top of them and pour the tea down their throats, they screamed in pain but it was funny, now they know not to dis tea, we all settled down for a bit to relax, the sun was high in the sky and the air was cool, the perfect combination, the issue was, well, DAD AND ELIOT ARENT HERE! Really we can't relax now, we NEED to find Eliot" GET BACK HERE!' huh, wait, that voice, I know it, something runs past us, it was so fast all we saw was a flash, mum could see it perfectly and laughed, even Yachiru saw it fine, all of us couldn't" GET BAK HERE NOW!' ARGH! I know that voice, but WHO? The flash runs past once again but time I saw a flash of green, wait, green?, it was the subtle lime green that only one creature had, I get up and look in the direction it ran, it came back but this time jumped at me and it just went right through me, it was like a ghost or something, I turn around and see what it was, to my surprise it was a Chibi version of Grande, and held on the ground was a Chibi version of Nexus flailing about, I gasp at the sight of this, I then turn around and see him" Eliot".
Else were in a dark cave only illuminated by the light of a single blue flame resting on water, that black fog formed in a ring above the flame" are the preparations ready?" it spoke in a cracked dark tone, in the shadows a figure in a suit of armour steps forth and kneels" yes my lord, they are ready, the fools will not know what has hit them, our pawns are set in place" the knight pulls out an orb of glowing mist and looks within it" they are almost ready to strike.
