A Bitter Enemy

In the First Division Barracks, Ukitake was giving his report.

"And that's the situation so far sir," Ukitake said.

"I see, this is indeed serious," Yamamoto said.

"We'll need to have that area in the Human World to be investigated on the matter," Ukitake said.

"Hmm," Ginrei crossed his arms and was in thought as he had his eyes closed and then he opened, "in that case, I would suggest that we send one who more familiar on this case."

"Do you have someone in mind Captain Kuchiki?" Kyoraku asked.

"About that…" Ginrei said,

The door opened and Yoruichi and Seigen entered the office.

"Ah Captain Shihoin and Captain Suzunami," Yamamoto said, "Have you two been brought to speed on the situation?"

"Yes we have," Yoruichi said.

"Do you have someone in particular that you want to send?" Yamamoto asked.

"Yes, if it pleases you," Seigen said, "I would like to send one of my new recruits to investigate… along with one of Yoruichi's new recruit."

"One of my new recruits along with yours?" Yoruichi responded, "Seigen, are you serious?"

"Of course I am," Seigen said, "I'm not one that joke on serious situations."

"I see," Yamamoto said, "then I assume that the two you are referring to… are Ryoga Koda and Kamito Kazehaya."

"Yes Captain-Commander," Seigen said.

Yamamoto pondered on the idea and then after some time, he looked at Seigen.

"Very well," Yamamoto said, "we'll go with your suggestion."

Afterwards the other captains left Yamamoto's office and Seigen was walking.

"Seigen," Yoruichi called.

Seigen stopped and turned as Yoruichi along with Ginrei, Ukitake, and Kyoraku approached him.

"Yes?" Seigen asked.

"Seigen, why would make such a suggestion?" Yoruichi asked, "To have two people who just came from the academy to take on this risky mission. That is not a good idea."

"I have to with Yoruichi on this," Ukitake said.

"I'm sure it'll be fine," Kyoraku assured.

"Are you sure about this Shunsui?" Ukitake asked.

"The old man gave the approval," Kyoraku pointed out, "that means that he's aware of the situation and he knows about the connection."

"The connection?" Yoruichi asked.

"Yes," Ginrei said, "the situation that is going on in the Human World… this actually be more suited to them."

Yoruichi looked at the other captains and realized what was implied.

"I see," Yoruichi said, "well there is that."

Meanwhile in the Shin'o Academy, Mogami was doing a lecture for his first-year students of the Advance Class and Fianna was in the class listening. On the far right of upper side of the class, Lily and Muir were listening as well but they also noticed and looked at Fianna.

"Fianna Ray Ordesia," Lily said in her head, "the one known as the Lost Queen."

Fianna suddenly glanced at where Lily and Muir were.

"Those two seem to be staring at me," Fianna said in her head, "who are they and why do I sense something familiar with them?"

In the 2nd Division Barracks, Yoruichi returned and she was greeted by one of her personal guards who was a petite young woman with short black hair and gray eyes.

"Welcome back Lady Yoruichi," The young woman said.

"Soi Fong," Yoruichi said with a smile.

Yoruichi and the young woman Soi Fong walked through the hall as Soi Fong held Yoruichi's haori.

"Kazehaya?" Soi Fong asked.

"Yes I need to see him," Yoruichi said.

"Understood ma'am," Soi Fong said, "I'll bring him."

"Thanks," Yoruichi said.

Meanwhile in the 5th Division Barracks, Ryoga was in his room and he was talking to Fujimaru.

"Huh, Captain Suzunami wants to see me?" Ryoga asked.

"Yeah it has something to with what's going on the Human World," Fujimaru said.

"The Human World?" Ryoga asked, "What do you mean?"

"It'll be best if you hear it from the captain himself," Fujimaru said.

"Hmm, very well," Ryoga said as he stood up, "I'll go see him."

Back in the 2nd Division Barracks, Kamito was led in the Shihoin Crest Room by Soi Fong and there was Yoruichi sitting in her chair.

"You wanted to see me Captain?" Kamito asked.

"Yes," Yoruichi said.

Kamito sat as so did Soi Fong and Yoruichi told him the reason.

"You're sending me to the Human World?" Kamito asked.

"Yes, there some strange anomalies occurring in certain areas in the Human World," Yoruichi said.

"Hmm, would it be best if have someone with more experience to go check it out?" Kamito asked.

"Normally that would be case," Yoruichi said, "however with what is happening over there, it was suggested that you would go and check it out. You as well as the member of the 5th Division, Ryoga Koda."

"Wait, Ryoga?" Kamito asked surprised.

"Yes," Yoruichi said, "the thing is Kamito that cause of the strange anomalies is actually coming from someone there with something called a fortress spirit."

"Fortress Spirit?" Kamito replied surprised.

"Yes and according to the other Captains, it's something that you're familiar with," Yoruichi said, "someone there who is called an Elementalist that is controlling this fortress spirit."

Kamito was surprised and had his thoughts.

"Wait, could it be?" Kamito spoke.

"I can see the look of your face that you know what I'm talking about," Yoruichi said, "in fact Captain Suzunami made the suggestions as he said that you and Koda would know about it."

"I see," Kamito said, "I understand but Captain Shihoin?"

"What is it?" Yoruichi asked.

"What do you think about this?" Kamito asked.

"What do I think?" Yoruichi replied.

"Yes ma'am," Kamito said with a nod.

"It's unusual I will say that," Yoruichi said, "but I'm confident that you can handle it."

"I see," Kamito said.

Soi Fong looked on and she was staring at Kamito with a glare. Later on, Kamito was walking and made his way to the Senkaimon.

"Kamito," Ryoga called.

Kamito turned and saw Ryoga walking towards him.

"Ryoga," Kamito said.

"So you've been briefed on the mission," Ryoga said.

"Yeah," Kamito said.

"Who do you think this Elementalist is that causing the anomalies in the Human World?" Ryoga asked.

"I don't know," Kamito said, "I doubt it's Jio."

"Jio?" Ryoga asked, "That guy… he's not even a real Elementalist."

"Yeah I know," Kamito said with a frown, "and it bugs me that I lost to that guy… twice."

"Guess we'll find out when we get there," Ryoga said.

"Yeah," Kamito said.

Meanwhile in the Shin'o Academy, Fianna was walking in the hall with a large book in her hands. She sighed as she had her thoughts. What Fianna didn't know was that she was being watched and she was being watched by Muir and Lily.

"So the Ordesia's second princess is here," Muir said, "the one dubbed the Lost Queen."

"It could be a coincidence," Lily said, "but then again, you can never know."

"Does it really matter?" Muir replied, "I mean seriously who really cares?"

Lily just looked at Muir and closed her eyes.

"I suppose you're right," Lily said, "it really doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with our overall goal."

Lily and Muir left to go elsewhere.

Human World

The Senkaimon appeared and opened with the Jigokucho flying by and Kamito and Ryoga passed through looking around.

"So this must be the place where the anomaly is occurring as we were told," Kamito said.

"Okay, we should go and check things out," Ryoga said.

"Yeah," Kamito said.

Kamito and Ryoga discussed things and then they went on their separate ways to go the points of the anomalies that they were sensing.

Seireitei, Soul Society

In the market area of the Seireitei, Saito was walking and looking around the shops within the Seireitei.

"All these places," Saito said.

Saito continued to look around and then he saw two Shinigami, one male and one female who were discussing of what to purchase. Saito looked and suddenly had a flash of the time he was shopping with Louise at the marketplace within the country of Tristan. Saito flinched and shook his head and frowned at the memory.

"I'm pathetic," Saito said angrily.

Saito went on his way and then as he continued, he saw a ramen shop.

"Ramen," Saito said.

Saito went inside the ramen shop and was approached by a waitress and Saito ordered a bowl. Saito sat in a table and waited for his food.

"I hope I can eat here again with Kamito, Leonora, and Ryoga," Saito said.

District 46 of North Rukongai

A large dark green Hollow appeared and it was standing on four legs and had the appearance of a Triceratops. It roared loudly and several Shinigami were on the ground dead. Several Shinigami looked on and they grip on the hilts of their Zanpakutos while one of the Shinigami stepped forward and it was Leonora and she had her Zanpakuto in hand.

"Lancaster," One of the Shinigami said.

The Hollow charged towards Leonora and Leonora responded by jumping in the air as she was able the charging attack.

"Resound," Leonora said, "Zanryuhime!"

Leonora activated her Zanpakuto and swung at the Hollow.

Unknown Realm

In the castle within the realm, Jio was walking and he found Wiegraf and approached him.

"Wiegraf," Jio called out.

Wiegraf saw Jio and stopped.

"Oh it's you," Wiegraf said deadpanned, "What do you want?"

"Is it true that Ultima sent that woman to deal with Kamito?" Jio asked.

Jio was upset when he asked that question.

"First off it is Lady Ultima to you boy and of course it's true," Wiegraf replied as he was annoyed, "I don't know why you even need to ask."

Jio clenched his teeth.

"She should have sent me," Jio said, "I can do it. I can kill that bastard. Why did she send her?"

"Why are you bothering with such an annoying question?" Wiegraf replied, "I'm not one to question our great leader. If you really want to know then go ask her yourself."

Wiegraf left and Jio clicked his tongue as he was irritated.

Human World

Ryoga walked and felt the anomaly getting stronger.

"It's around here," Ryoga said, "no, I should say… someone is around here… come on out. I know you're here."

There was a chuckle and it was chuckle of a woman.

"Oh my, you found me out," The voice of a female said sounding amused.

Someone appeared and it was the young Elfim woman that had long jade hair and wore a long white coat over her dress.

"An Elfim?" Ryoga spoke surprised.

"It's nice to meet you Ryoga Koda," The Elfim woman said with a smile, "or should I say Nepenthes Lore."

Ryoga was taken aback and then glared at the woman.

"You know who I am," Ryoga said.

"Of course I do," The woman said.

"Who are you?" Ryoga asked.

The Elfim woman smiled as she said her name, "Vivian Melosa."

Meanwhile Kamito was walking and saw a set of stairs and then he looked up.

"It's coming from up there," Kamito said.

Kamito then walked up the stairs. When he got to the stop, he saw a shrine and Kamito felt the Reiatsu from the shrine.

"Is this it?" Kamito asked and he frowned and sighed, "I know you're there. Come out and show yourself."

"Impressive," A female voice said, "but then again, it's to be expected from you."

Someone appeared and it was the young woman with shiny blonde hair and icy blue eyes who wore her white overcoat over her uniform. Kamito noticed her uniform and was surprised.

"That uniform," Kamito said, "is that…?"

"Yes," The young woman said knowing what Kamito was asking, "it is the uniform of the Areishia Spirit Academy and I finally found you," The young woman glared at Kamito, "Ren Ashbell."

Kamito was shocked as he was taken aback and then he shook his head.

"Ren Ashbell?" Kamito asked, "Um, who's that? I never heard of the name."

"Don't lie to me!" The young replied in anger, "Do you really think that I would not know? You're Ren Ashbell, the one who won the Blade Dance… who had the Dark Spirit."

Kamito was taken aback again, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"So you're still going to insist on lying," The young woman said angrily, "even though I know the truth from Lady Ultima and the your former contracted spirit called Restia."

Kamito was surprised to hear about Ultima and Restia and he knew that he couldn't deny it.

"You don't remember me, do you?" The young woman asked.

"Um, no can't say that I do," Kamito replied.

Kamito's response irritated the young woman.

"Of course you don't remember me," The young woman said upset, "I was not a thought to you even though I respected and admired you."

"I don't understand," Kamito said.

"I suppose you're the type person that brushes off and just disregards people," The young woman said.

"Okay look, I don't know what you're talking about," Kamito said, "if I offended you in some way in the past then please tell me and I'll apologize."

"If you seriously don't remember me then there is no point," The young woman sad seething, "I'll make you know me when I end you," The young woman drew her sword and pointed at Kamito, "Velsaria Eva Fahrengart, that is my name and the one who will defeat you."

"Wait, Fahrengart?" Kamito replied surprised, "Hold on, would you happen to be related to Ellis Fahrengart?"

"Oh, you're talking about my weakling of a sister," Velsaria said coldly, "what about her?"

"Your sister…" Kamito said.

"Was a weak disgrace who allowed herself to be killed," Velsaria said, "as far as I'm concern, she was just pathetic right to the end."

Kamito got upset hearing how Velsaria was speaking of Ellis.

"Hey, I don't how relationship was with your sister," Kamito said, "but I know that was Ellis was dedicated as a knight and doesn't deserve to be talked down like that!"

"Hmph, what would you know?" Velsaria said coldly.

"As her friend, I know how hard she worked as Captain of the Sylphid Knights and an Elementalist," Kamito said.

"You know nothing," Velsaria replied, "and you're quite arrogant to say otherwise. But then again, perhaps my sister was as you said. But if that was the case, then she wouldn't have died such a miserable death and all because she wanted to avenge your death, someone like you who died at the hands of some common thug. You are nothing more than a weakling and you had the nerve to brush me off. Your actions are unforgivable and with that in mind, let's actually see how well you do."

"What do you mean?" Kamito asked.

"Well you are a Shinigami, aren't you?" Velsaria replied, "So…"

Velsaria snapped her fingers and there was a growl and something was summoned from the temple and it was a huge Hollow that stood on four legs and it was a dark purple beast-like Hollow that had two large black horns, red fur on its back and black claws.

"A Hollow," Kamito said.

"This Hollow is one of the Hollows kept by Lucavi," Velsaria said.

"Lucavi," Kamito said and then he glared at Velsaria, "so I take that you're part of Lucavi."

"I am," Velsaria said narrowing his eyes at Kamito.

"Are you under the command of Ultima or one of the Demon Lords?" Kamito asked, "Or were you simply given power by them."

"If you can beat this Hollow then you'll see," Velsaria said.

Kamito frowned and drew his Zanpakuto. Meanwhile Ryoga found himself surrounded by Archdemons with Vivian just standing and smiling.

"Let's see if you can handle Archdemons," Vivian said.

Ryoga looked around and then he stared at Vivian.

"I have questions to ask of you," Ryoga said.

"I'm sure you do," Vivian said, "although it might be tough… if you're dead."

The Archdemons charged towards Ryoga and Ryoga himself quickly drew his sword and there was a loud and strong clash. Meanwhile Kamito had his head down and clenched on the hilt of his Zanpakuto.

"Fine, I'll play your game," Kamito said as he held up his Zanpakuto horizontally, "Stand, Mashinzo!" Kamito looked up with a serious expression after he activated and swung his Zanpakuto, "Let's go."

Velsaria glared at Kamito as she felt the power of Kamito's Mashinzo.

"This time I will defeat you," Velsaria declared, "Ren Ashbell!"

Seireitei, Soul Society

Within the Shin'o Academy, Muir and Lily couldn't believe what was going on. They were standing and they were facing Fianna who was glaring at them.

"You're going to tell me what I want to know," Fianna said.

Lily sighed while Muir looked down on her.

"And what makes you think we would actually tell you anything?" Muir asked.

"You mentioned Kamito Kazehaya," Fianna said, "is he really here? Is Kamito really here in the Soul Society and he is really a Shinigami right now?"

"We're not obligated to tell you anything," Lily said.

"So it is true," Fianna said.

"I didn't say that," Lily replied immediately.

"You made it obvious with your response," Fianna said.

Lily was taken aback and looked away with a frowned.

"You better watch yourself princess," Muir said with a venomous tone, "or perhaps maybe I should deal with you right now."

Fianna was surprised and Lily was surprised as well as she quickly grabbed Muir's left wrist and left dragging Muir with her. Muir was complaining of Lily was doing as they left and Fianna was had felt a chill and she felt Muir's killing instinct.

"That girl," Fianna said shocked, "she was actually going to kill me, "Fianna clenched the area of her chest where her heart was, "Who are they and how do they know Kamito?"

That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: The fight in the Human World begins for Kamito and Ryoga and in the Soul Society, Fianna hears something from Lily and Muir.
