Chapter 37: Confronting the Head Captains. New Allies.

Rellik hit the ground hard along with Blast, both of their zanpaku-tos returning to their regular swords. Rellik laid on the ground grasping the hilt of his Ragnok and looked over at Blast who was bleeding from the wound across his chest. He stood slowly, using Ragnok as a crutch.

"Blast?" Rellik asked as he approached his former friend. "If you die from that I'm going to mock your grave every damn day."

"Don't... Even... Think about it." Blast said heaving with every word. "I'm still kicking... You're lucky I... Cant move you... Asswhipe."

Rellik laughed as he walked away from Blast. "What ever you say Blast." Rellik used the stairwell walls to work his way up the large spiraling staircase. He sheathed Ragnok and noticed that the black reishi of his inner hollow powers were starting to flow out of his body even more then before. 'Guess using life energy the way I did reacted with the hollow powers.'

A scream from the ground broke Rellik out of his trance. When he looked down, Mac Kosner was floating in the air screaming at the top of his lungs. Rellik's own black reishi that he was letting off was starting to swirl around Mac's body.

'His body is reacting to the negative reishi?' Rellik looked on in horror as Mac began to fire random kido blasts, with out the incantations, from his hands. Rellik ducked behind a column as the kido blasts began to destroy the inner workings of the hall.

"Mac!" Blast yelled as he stood up and tried to make his way to his friend. "Mac calm down!"

Mac began to twirl in the air along with the black reishi and started firing even more kido blasts. Blast was struck in his already wounded shoulder and chest with a pale white flame that sent him screaming and flying back against a far wall.

"Blast!" Rellik yelled as he tried to work his way back down the staircase. "Mac knock it off or you'll kill us all you asshole!"

Mac continued to scream as his body reacted uncontrollably to the black reishi in the air. Rellik watched on as Jen, who awoke, started crawling her way over to her fallen friend Blast. Blast was barley alive against the wall, his breaths coming in small spurts, and blood was beginning to drip down from the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly two blurs of red and blue flame shot past Rellik and flames surrounded Mac's body. The blue and red flames seemed to dance together as two old men stood before the flames. One was a bald old man who was shirtless and holding a red burning sword. The other was also an old man with long white hair holding a blue burning sword.

"Captain Yukes," The old shirtless man said turning his head slightly, "Can you handle this or shall I?"

"I'd much rather continue to have a death free night Head Captain Yamamoto." Yukes said as he appeared behind Mac. "Allow me." He simple chopped Mac in the back of the head knocking the man out once again.

Head Captain Yukes looked over at Rellik who was barely standing at the stairway's opening. Head Captain Yamamoto also turned to look at the barely standing soul reaper. Rellik smiled and waved his hand.

"Hello." Rellik said as he fell forward.

"Is he awake yet Baldy?" Came a small voice to the left of Rellik. "Wake him up already!"

"God you're so annoying!" Came another small voice to the right of Rellik this time. "Hey chrome dome shut the little brat up!"

"Will you both shut the hell up!" Rellik yelled as he lifted up in his bed. He looked to his right to see Lieutenant Vicky Glass was smiling. When he looked to his left he saw Lieutenant Yachiru Kusagishi, who also began to smile. Sitting next to Yachiru was Third Seat Ikkaku Madarame, who also began to smile as Rellik sat up.

"Well, well." Ikkaku said smiling his sinister smile. "Looks like I was right! I knew you wouldn't die from such sad pathetic injuries like that!" Ikkaku began to laugh loudly as Rellik gave him a confused look.

"Where am I?" Rellik asked noticing he was wearing a white gown and was laying in a bed in a medical room.

"You're in Squad Three barracks." Lieutenant Glass said. "You're back home One Eye!"

"We're here just as a body guards." Yachiru asked playing with Vicky's hair. "We were told to make sure you got plenty of rest before confronting the Head Captains."

"They left two little girls and a Third Seat, no offence," Rellik said holding his hand out Ikkaku who looked stunned at the comment, "To protect me?"

"Not just them." Came a voice from behind a curtain. From behind the curtain walked a man who was built very similar to Rellik. He had short black unkempt hair and wore a bandage over the left side of his face. He had three scratch marks going over the right side of his face and the number '69' tattooed under his left eye. "I'm Shuhei Hisagi. Lieutenant, and acting Captain, Of Japan's Squad 9."

"I see." Rellik said staring the man over. "How come I haven't seen you before?" Rellik asked.

"I like to keep to myself." Shuhei responded. "Plus I keep myself busy."

"He's in charge of practically everything that isn't directly controlled by squad captains." Ikkaku said. "Guy's practically a machine."

Rellik smiled and stood up to find his left leg was numb. When he looked down he noticed that his body was giving off even more black reishi and his leg was heavily bandaged.

"You're leg was shattered during Mac Kosner's outburst." Shuhei told Rellik as he stepped forward and sat by Vicky Glass. "You and your friends were lucky to survive. Had the Head Captains not showed up when they had, you all would have died."

"I wouldn't exactly call us friends..." Rellik said as he remembered how the three had reacted towards him.

"Oh Rellik!" Vicky said angrily smacking her zanpaku-to against Rellik's injured leg, causing everyone to freak out, except for Yachiru who started clapping and laughing. "You idiot! The captains, have found proof that you're innocent! The investigating soul reaper didn't bother checking for spiritual pressure residue. So captain Kurotsuchi did. He found that there was indeed a third person there. You're story checks out!"

Rellik rubbed his leg and looked over at all four of the soul reapers in the small room with him. He smiled and looked down. 'What do you know. I did all that for nothing then.'

A knock came from the door of the room. When the door opened, Alexis, Mac, and Jason Linkins walked inside.

"I think we'll take over from here." Jason said to Shuhei and Ikkaku who both gave each other sideways glances before leaving with Lieutenants Yachiru and Vicky.

"Hey Rell..." Mac said sitting next to his friend. His arms were heavily bandaged and he wore a heavy bandage against the side of his throat. "I just want to say that... Well... You know with everything..."

Rellik held up his hand and smiled. "I accept."

Alexis smiled as she set across from Rellik. "I see you kept that promise!" Alexis teased as she gently patted Rellik's cast covered leg.

Rellik just blushed as Jason smiled from behind Alexis. "Well, well. I knew you weren't guilty. I'm glad you're safe man."

"Geez thanks Jason." Rellik said as he sat back up on the bed. "So when did they discover that I was innocent?"

"During the time you were unconscious." Mac answered. "You been out for a few days. Kurotsuchi seemed upset to find out that you were innocent."

Rellik stood up and grabbed his shihakusho from the rack by his bed. He stood up and moved behind a large curtain. He dressed quickly and placed Ragnok across his back. When he appeared from behind the curtain Alexis walked up to him holding the green ribbon.

She tied the ribbon around Rellik's arm and placed her hand on Rellik's cheek. "You did make the promise didn't you?"

Rellik looked to Mac and Jason who both quietly left the room leaving Rellik and Alexis alone in the infirmary. Rellik looked down at Alexis, her hazel eyes were tearing up as she rubbed her index finger over Rellik's scar.

"Yes Alexis." Rellik said taking her hand in his own. "I made that promise. But now I have to keep another promise," Rellik tighten the green ribbon and leaned down and kissed Alexis deeply, "I'll see you again. When I do I promise, I wont be just leave you with just a kiss."

As Alexis stood in shock, Rellik left the room. Alexis smiled as she touched her lips, she blushed as she thought of Rellik said. She turned around to see Jen White was standing by the closed door.

Jen stepped forward and placed her hand on the hilt of her zanpaku-to. "You need to be careful with Rellik Alexis. He's alot more dangerous then you realize."

"I know what I'm getting myself into Jen." Alexis said as she placed her hand on the hilt of her own zanpaku-to. "How's Blast?"

"He'll live." Jen replied. "I came by to apologize to Rellik. I let Blast get into my head and just..."

"You don't need to explain anything." Alexis said. She walked to her pixyish friend and hugged her. "He knows that you guys were only acting on what you knew."

Jen smiled and hugged her friend back. They left the room together.

Rellik walked into Head Captain Yuke's office. He was limping when he stepped towards the desk and took in the whole office. The whole back wall was a massive bookshelf that was stacked to the limits. On the desk in front of the wall was an open book that with an old fashion feather pin resting in the middle of the page. Captain Yukes was sitting his chair with Head Captain Yamamoto standing by the side of the desk. Yukes zanpaku-to was resting on the table just a few inches from his hands.

"Lieutenant Wade, please have a seat." Yukes said motioning towards a chair opposite him. As Rellik sat down he noticed that the can that Head Captain Yamamoto was holding was drawing in reishi. "Lieutenant, on behalf of Japan's soul society, and Central Forty-Seven, we apologize for everything."

Rellik looked to one captain to the other. "Really? That's it?" He asked getting angry. "I've spent a year of my life in hiding! I showed up here and you people send out captains to kill me! And you apologize to me?"

"Enough!" Yamamoto said ramming his walking staff into the ground hard. "We made a mistake! We are admitting it! If you want to be a child and grown angry then that is your right, but don't think I'll allow you disrespect either of us anymore then you have!"

Rellik stared at the old captain, his facial expression never changing. Rellik sat back into his chair and breathed heavily. When he looked up again he saw that Yukes had never moved, nor had he drawn in a single amount of reishi.

"We wish to make things right." Yukes said pushing a sheet of paper across his desk to Rellik. "You're new assignment."

"You're reassigning me again?" Rellik asked as he took the sheet of paper. He read it over slowly his mouth hanging agape. "This cant be right."

"You meet all required attributes." Yamamoto said as he stepped behind the desk and stood by Yukes.

"Lieutenant Wade." Yukes said standing up. "Or should I say, Squad Six Captain Wade?"

Rellik was in shock. The paper was signed and cleared by Central Forty-Seven also. It only lacked his signature to be official. If he signed this paper he would become captain of Squad Six, the position of his mentor, Captain Gonzales. Rellik looked to each captain and smiled as he stood up.

"Thank you sirs." He replied as he held the paper out in front of him. "But I have other plans." With that Rellik ripped up the piece of paper and saluted each man. "I'd like to resign from my duties as Lieutenant of Squad Six and ask permission to leave the Seireitei."

Yukes smiled as he lifted another piece of paper up and handed to Rellik. "I had a feeling that would be your answer Mr. Wade." Rellik looked over the paper and smiled. He grabbed the old fashion pin and signed his name on the bottom line. "Its official Mr. Wade. You are now an Independent Soul Reaper of the American Seireitei."

Rellik appeared in the waist land under Urahara Shop. As the Senkaimon disappeared behind him he stepped forward and pulled the hood off over his head. He looked up the long ladder that came from the sky and smiled when he saw that sun was beaming from the outside window.

"Yo Kisuke?" Rellik yelled up into the morning sky. "Wake your ancient ass up! You got company!"

Loud thuds fell to the ground as Rellik laughed loudly. Kisuke peaked his head down the hole and saw Rellik smiling up at him. "Rellik is that you?"

"The one and only." Rellik replied up as he stepped back from the ladder. "I survived! Yoruichi around?"

"Is that Rellik?" Came the masculine voice of Yoruichi's cat form. The black head of the small cat appeared next to Kisuke's. "Hey there! Kukkaku was asking about you the other day. Wants to know when you'll be going back to Japan."

Rellik smiled as he climbed up the ladder and stepped up next to Kisuke and Yoruichi. "Tell her next time I'm there I'll come by and see her and Ganju." Rellik looked over at Kisuke, who was smiling from ear to ear. "New orders from upper management." Rellik said as he handed Kisuke his papers. "I'm allowed full access to the human world. To look assist in the hunting down, and elimination of all hollows."

"But what you really plan on doing is..." Kisuke started slowing as he ended his sentence.

"I'm going to track down Aizen," Rellik said as he tighten the green ribbon around his arm, "And find my sister."

"Was hoping you'd say that." Kisuke smiled under his hat. "You're going to need help if you plan on doing that."

"I was already offered a small squad if I needed it." Rellik said as he tightened the blue ribbon around Ragnok's handle. "I turned them down."

"I'm not talking about Soul Reapers." Kisuke said as he pulled out a small pink piece of candy. "Meet Bun-Bon."

"Bun-Bon?" Rellik asked confused looking at the small piece of candy.

Kisuke smiled and pulled out a small plush doll. It was a small fairy doll with a pink hair and orange dress. Kisuke pushed the pink piece of candy into the doll's open mouth. Suddenly the doll's eyes started glowing yellow, the little toy began to caught and fell from Kisuke's hand.

"Urahara you bastard!" The little toy yelled as it jumped up into the air. Its little wings were fluttering like crazy to keep it floating in the air. "Is this the guy you were telling me about?" She asked as she started flying around Rellik.

"Yes." Kisuke said as he adjusted the hat over his head. "Bun-Bon, meet Rellik Wade, and Ragnok."

"Hi." Rellik said softly as the fairy flew in front of his face. "What are you exactly?"

"I'm Bun-Bon." The flying toy said smiling. "I'm what you'd call a mod soul. I was designed to help soul reapers in battle to better fully understand their zanpaku-tos."

"Me and Ragnok don't need any help." Rellik said, more to Kisuke then Bun-Bon. "I appreciate it, but I'm good."

"I don't think so." Bun-Bon said. "Ragnok says it would be good for you two needing help."

Rellik was struck silent and looked at the flying plush toy. 'Is this thing serious?'

'Yes she is.' Came Ragnok's voice in Rellik's head. 'We could use the help.'

'Ragnok!' Rellik yelled in his head as the toy smiled from ear to ear. 'How are able to talk?'

"Some soul reapers can communicate with their zanpaku-tos freely," Bun-Bon answered, "My ability allows the soul reaper that I'm assigned to, allow to do it."

Rellik looked at Kisuke and Yoruichi, who had climbed up and was sitting atop the green stripped hat of Kisuke's. They both were giving smirking smiles at Rellik. Rellik laughed to himself and held out his hand to the flying toy.

"I guess I'm out numbered." Rellik said as the Bun-Bon's face lit up. "Welcome Bun-Bon."

"oh yes!" Bun-Bon shouted as she started flying around Rellik's head. "We going to get so much pussy together!"

Rellik fell over with a loud thud. "WHAT THE HELL BUN-BON!"

"What?" Bun-Bon asked confused. "You think I like men? Yuck! Give me a well rounded woman any day of the week!"

"We're not going out to get laid!" Rellik shouted. "We're going out to find my sister!"

"Don't worry!" Bun-Bon said. "I'll behave myself while in your gigai." 'For all you know.' Bun-Bon said evilly in her head.

"Well I can tell you two are going to have fun together." Kisuke said handing Rellik a small cell phone. "This will allow you to keep in contact with the Seireitei and us here." Rellik took the phone and placed it in on the table. "You're gigai is in the closet," Kisuke continued as he opened up a small door pulling out the body of Rellik's gigai, "We've made some modifications to it. Its now lighter and the left eye will allow you to see reishi just like your regular eye can."

Rellik popped the candy into his gigai and placed the cell phone into his pocket. Kisuke gave him a back pack and a small booklet. Rellik flipped it open to see a picture of himself and a new name.

"Gabriel Wade?" Rellik asked as he looked at Kisuke. "What's wrong with Rellik?"

"Well for one I'm pretty sure that name would flag some serious problems." Bun-Bon said as she landed on Rellik's shoulder. "Besides, I think the name is sexy! Hell I'm into women and I'd fuck that name!"

Rellik fell over again causing Bun-Bon to fall next to him. Rellik recovered and smashed the little doll into the ground. "We are not going out to get laid!" Rellik yelled again.

"She's right." Kisuke said. "Rellik is a fine name, but enemies will know your name and be able to find out where you are that way. This way, no one who's out to get you, will not be able to track you down."

Rellik shrugged and put the passport into his pocket. He looked through the bag and saw more clothes tha matched what his gigai had on. He pulled the backpack over his shoulders and picked up Bun-Bon. She smiled once again and opened her mouth. He pulled the candy from the toy's mouth and placed it in the small pez dispenser that was in the bag.

Rellik walked out of the small shop and headed out towards the air port. He looked over his shoulder one last time and smiled.

"Let the fun begin." Rellik said as he stared up at the sky. "I'll find you Winry. I promise."
