Chapter 26: The dark ninja
Komamura and Hitsugaya reach the Urahara shop and enter, they spot the underground passage and dart down. Hitsugaya sees Chad just about to stand up with Urahara clapping.
"Great work Sado, that concludes today's training. I suppose you can stop now too Inoue right Yoruichi?" Kisuke said smiling.
"That's right, you can both rest up." Yoruichi said. Orihime bows and looks up at the ladder leading to the shop, she spots the two captains and points to them they jump down.
"Interesting place you've got here Kisuke." Komamura said whilst walking towards them.
"Aren't I a sight for sore eyes today, I just keep getting visits. Let me guess you were sent here because of the artefact?" Urahara said whilst concealing his face using his fan.
"You are correct, we need you to open a Garganta which will lead us to Hueco Mundo." Komamura said.
"Well you certainly picked the right man for the job. Although, are you sure you have enough man power to take on the Deidad?"
"Mayuri is stationed there also, we should have more than enough." Komamura said.
"Very well, I'll go prepare it." Kisuke walks to an open space and prepares the huge Garganta.
Hitsugaya turns to Komamura, "Good luck out there. I wander what Mayuri is up to half of the time." Hitsugaya said with his arms folded.
"It's times like these where he becomes valuable. Good luck to you too." Komamura places his hand on Toushiro's shoulder.
"Okay it's all done, jump in when you are ready to leave."
"Thank you. Lets go Komamura." Hitsugaya said and they both leap into the darkness.
Kuraishisu runs into Subayai just outside of the Deidads headquarters. "Yo Koroshiya, the master has told me to tell you that we need to go to the baron wastelands on Earth." Kuraishisu said.
"Is that where an artefact is?" Koroshiya answered.
"Yeah, and battle. We better get going."
"Sure, lets move." Koroshiya slashes the air with his fingers and a rip in space pulls open from the four slashes created by his fingers, from inside you see what appears to be a vast wasteland. They both walk inside and a portal appears instantly in the wasteland on Earth. The two stand just inside the portal looking out at the vast wasteland that stretched out for miles. "Oh man we're never gonna find it, can we just sit back and relax at home?" Subayai suggested.
"Sorry but we have been given a task to do. Just think of the promotion we would get if we defeated captain level Shinigami and the great beast which protects the artefact." Kuraishisu said before jumping out of the portal and down to the ground, Koroshiya followed. They begin to walk in a random direction constantly looking left and right to find some sort of clue to the whereabouts of the artefact. "Yo Subayai, isn't this monster meant to be big and all? I mean it shouldn't be too hard to spot in such an open space." Kuraishisu said whilst resting the back of his head on his hands.
"Keep you eyes peeled at all times. We can't be far."
"What makes you say that?" Kuraishisu asks.
Koroshiya smiles, "Hmph, because I am staring right at our prey." He laughs and then turns to Kuraishisu who looks around and spots Soi Fon and Kenpachi running.
"You have keen sight my friend. Perhaps we eat tonight after all?" Kuraishisu smiled also and they both ran in the direction that Soi Fon and Kenpachi were heading.
Soi Fon stops and halts Kenpachi. "Wait. Do you feel that?" Soi Fon said.
"No but I see our cave." Kenpachi points in front of them and a small rounded cave stares at them.
"We are being followed, lets grab this thing and get out of here." Soi Fon shouted and they both ran towards the cave. They reach the cave and Kenpachi attempts to take the artefact but an electrical force prevents him, a voice begins to speak.
"You are here to protect and yet you take, if you wish to claim what I hold then blood you must shed." The voice said in a very deep pitch.
"So in other words we have to kill someone in order to take this thing? Sounds simple enough." Kenpachi said whilst turning to Soi Fon.
Soi Fon points up to where they just came from. "We're in luck, here they come now."
Kuraishisu and Koroshiya reach the cave also and stand but five metres away from the captains. "So, come to take the artefact without our permission eh? Huh?" Kuraishisu said but then turns to see Kenpachi standing there. "You again? I guess we should pick up from last time don't you think?"
"With great pleasure, Deidad." Kenpachi draws his sword.
Soi Fon stares at her target with piercing eyes.
"Look at you. You just think that because you are a captain, you can defeat us. You all make me sick." Subayai said.
"I am captain of division two and commander in chief of the Onmitsukido, watch your tongue." Soi Fon spat.
"Onmitsukido? So you're the captain of the special operations and the rest of those pathetic ninjas. I must say that you have some nerve to call yourself that. I am the fastest Shinigami in the world! That title should belong to me!" Subayai said proudly.
"Fastest you say. Wait I remember you, you was the special operations greatest ninja. Nothing surpassed you except the commander in chief. The nimble murderer, Subayai Koroshiya." Soi Fon said battle ready.
"So you do remember me. What position was you again? Oh wait I remember now, you was miss Yoruichi's little servant weren't you? Too bad she paid no attention to your suggestions. though I do wander how you became the commander in chief and I repeat instead of me? I was far better than you in ability." Koroshiya went on.
"I am part of the noble Fon house. She preferred me to you, she despised you in every way. No wander you left us." Soi Fon argued.
"Once again your over inflated ego blinds you. Soon you will fall and I will rein as the new commander in chief and with it, a most valuable army at my disposal. With the Onmitsukido and the Deidad, the Gotei 13 will cease to exist and we will become the most feared clan in the galaxy!" Koroshiya shouted whilst laughing triumphantly.
Soi Fon stared into his eyes. "Then I must eliminate you... anything to protect us and, to serve miss Yoruichi." Soi Fon vanished and appeared in front of him at which time she went for a kick. Off guard the Deidad took the hit and span backwards to the floor. He leapt to his feet and pulled his hakama up on his left leg. From underneath you could see what appeared to be his zanpakutou; it was the size of a small dagger, no bigger than combat knife. Subayai flicked it up from his leg and into his hand.
"You wont get me again... Ever!" He runs and slices Soi Fon's arm, she moves back whilst holding the cut.
"How did you..." Soi Fon looks in amazement.
"How did I make contact so fast? I already told you, I am the fastest shinigami to ever exist. I surpass even that of miss Yoriuchi."
"That's a lie!!" Soi Fon quickly runs and performs a low roundhouse kick followed by a kick in the air. This sends Koroshiya flying backwards.
"Oh no! HA, only joking!" Koroshiya recovers in mid air and zooms towards her with his arm extended behind him, holding his blade ready to cut her.
