I do not any of the characters or the ideas created by Tite Kubo, however my OC and original storyline belong to me.
This is my first Bleach fic, so PLEASE REVIEW!
Thank you Windblade67 for your review, yes Izuru and Momo are both Gin's and Aizen's lieutenants. Plus I thought the word segregation fit as most of the inhabitants of the Seireitei seemed to always look down on those from the Rukkon district and literally have indestructible walls to keep them out. I hope you enjoy the following chapter :)
"Delilah…! Delilah…! Come on downstairs sweetheart"
At the sound of her mother's voice alone, Delilah closed the book which she was reading and placed it onto her bedside table. It was a book discussing the intricacies of the soul and the soul reapers and was gaining a clearing picture of what the Seireitei could look like. The more she thought about the soul society, the more she wondered why her mother had chosen to reside in the living world where she would clearly lead a simpler yet regal life from within the world of the Seireitei and stay with her daddy and Gin.
It was soon after that she exited from her bedroom and began to make her way down the stairs. She was rather eager to learn about the thirteen court guard squad which she had only read a little about, as she was sure that her daddy was the one who properly wished to introduce her to them.
Once she had reached the bottom of the stairs, she immediately came face to face with the two soul reapers who she had been thinking about. She was relieved that they came and she was sure that they would tell her more about the soul society and it's residents.
And when their gazes met, she immediately hurried forward and leapt into their awaiting arms. The two of them embraced her and she laughed in joy. Her mother provided her with the feminine touch needed in her life and a mother's love, but her daddy and Gin knew how to educate her as well as keep her entertained. They seemed to know everything about her and she hoped that one day she would learn everything about them.
It was not long after that they headed towards the dining room and they occupied some chairs, and Delilah twiddled her fingers in anticipation.
After a few seconds, Gin had removed a wad of flossy paper from his inner pocket and slowly began to place what appeared to be photographs in front of her. There were more men then women and whilst some of them appeared seemed to be nobles and others seemed to be commoners. And soon enough she recognised the pictures of both her daddy and Gin and saw them in their full soul reaper uniform.
"These thirteen photographs are the captains of the thirteen court guard squads"
Upon hearing Gin's explanation, Delilah's eyes widened in intrigue.
"Captains…like you and daddy"
Suddenly she noticed that her daddy and Gin were wearing their full soul reaper uniforms, and her mouth starting opening wide. She was silently annoyed at herself at how short sighted she had been, and their traditional attire made her learning about the thirteen court guard squads even more interesting.
For the next fifteen minutes, Gin told her about each and every one of her captains and which squads were under their control. And as she heard his explanation, she spent a few thorough seconds analysing each of the photographs and tried to remembered each of their faces and appearances. As a part of her was certain that she would be able to meet them at one point in the future…
…..
"So Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto is the both the head captain and the leader of the thirteen court guard squads"
She saw both her daddy and Gin grinning widely and nearly bursting into laughter, and it caused Delilah to frown as she was sure that she hadn't accidentally mispronounced his name.
"Yes darling he is the head captain"
Delilah continued to gaze at the picture of the elderly man and deep inside her she could not help but shake the feeling that regardless of his feeble appearance he was indeed a formidable foe.
Her daddy and Gin then went onto explain about what second division's responsibility was and she was sure that the captain of that squad would be a useful ally. After all they were the punishment squads. She then learnt about Gin's squad and was extremely interested to learn about Izuru and how studious he had also been. When she heard about the fourth division, she could not help but think about her mother and her healing talents. She had only injured herself a handful of times but she was sure that her mother's abilities were truly out of this world and perhaps resembled that of Captain Unohana's own capabilities.
Yet her daddy's squad was the one which she felt that she could most relate to, as it depended on the soul reaper's intellectual strength rather then their physical skills. And this was part of the reason why she was sure that it would the best place for her, as her daddy's squad would clearly be a powerful one. However she was certain that Byakuya Kuchiki of sixth division could perhaps come close in skill and personality due to his code of conduct being honour. The seventh division, which Gin said had a captain that looked like a dog and a decent lieutenant, believed in the ideals of obligation and compassion and Delilah was somewhat wondering if when she became a soul reaper, she would be able to follow orders blindly without thinking it through like her daddy.
Hearing about the eighth division and it lecherous captain made her adamant that whatever occurred she wouldn't be understand that captain's control. Yet a part of could not help but wonder if the ninth division could have also benefited her by teaching her to be brave as a part of her could not help by admire her daddy and Gin for always knowing how to handle tough situations. The tenth division captain's photograph caused her to smile at seeing how young he was and she wondering if she could every reach as far as he had done. The eleventh division seemed to have members resembling that of savages and she was sure that it's captain would always remain a safe distance away from her. However Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the twelfth division, was an interesting specimen as she was sure that he could sate her cursorily to learn more about how the world worked.
"Who's this white haired man?" she suddenly asked causing Gin to halt half way through his sentence.
And then she saw her daddy's and Gin's expression becoming exceptionally dark, almost as if the photograph was taboo of something.
It was at that moment that her mother had entered and that sealed her fate. Her question was promptly swept under the carpet as her instruction on the thirteen court guard squads continued minus anything related to that man. And it was only from logic alone that Delilah realised that she was looking at none other then captain of the thirteenth division.
And she could not help but wonder…
Who is he?
Why is it that he looks like me?
Naughty...naughty Captain Aizen and Ichimaru, Delilah may have asked them about Jūshirō Ukitake but they didn't answer her question. Some time later however, they'll have no choice but to tell her. She has also learnt about the thirteen court guard squads and this information plus the books and the further discussions which they will have are what prepare her for the eventual outcome of her being brought to live in the Ukitake compound.
