In the entranceway to the grand hall, Chief Warrant Officer Tsubasa took his Commander aside and said, "Ichigo there are some things that will come to light in that room that I want to tell you in advance"
"Like what!" Ichigo asked, as Shouhei told him, "My real name is Shiba Yasuuji, I founded The Shiba Clan"
Holding up his hand Shouhei told him, "My time as Clan head ended long before you were born, but should you need advice"
"You didn't need to tell be all this!" Ichigo said, as Shouhei states, "If I intend to ask a certain question of a certain captain I do!"
Shaking his head Ichigo said, "Their going to piss their pants!"
15 minutes later In a grand hall within the Central 46, every member of Gotei 13 begin to gather from every Captain and Lieutenant down to what humans would call "A Private"
Captain Commander Shunsui Kyōraku begain to speak when a man known only as Marcus to Shunsui stepped forward saying, "Thank you Captain Commander, I can take it from here"
"Some of the Shinigami gathered here know me as Marcus, but I am in fact "The Soul King"
"Although I came here to visit with family, it has come to my attention that certain treacherous elements exists here in the Gotei 13"
Every conversation in the room stopped and you could have heard a pin drop, as the entire room turned giving their full attention to The Soul King himself.
"Former Lieutenant Marechiyo Ōmaeda, You stand accused of Cowardness in the Face of the Enemy, and the Attempted Assassination of a Member of The Royal Family"
Upon hearing the charges Marenoshin Ōmaeda gave his son a look that said, Marechiyo what have you done!
He knew that all his negotiations for a dishonorable discharge for his son just went up in smoke.
Captain Commander Shunsui Kyōraku asked, "Who did he try to kill!"
Chief Warrant Officer Shouhei Tsubasa stepped forward saying, "Me"
"I am the only living son of the Soul King"
Getting a nod from his Commander, Shouhei said, "My real name is Shiba Yasuuji, founder of The Shiba Clan"
"Two days ago, I found Marechiyo Ōmaeda, caught in one of my Kido traps, what Makes this trap unique is in order to trigger it you must have lethal intent!"
"I see" The Captain Commander said, "Were you alone at the time?"
"No, I was not!" Shiba Yasuuji, said, in a commanding tone.
"Who was with you!" Captain Commander asked as Shiba Yasuuji stood their silent not uttering one word!
Shiba Yasuuji, thought, Suì-Fēng I will protect your reputation, and not drag you into all this intrigue!
"Captain Commander, Highness" Ichigo said, "I beg a moment to speak with my Ancestor"
In a small aniti-chamber just off the main hall Ichigo rounded on Shiba Yasuuji, asking, "Who are you protecting!"
Both Shiba men stood locked in a staring contest as Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng walk in, as Yoruichi said, "Do we need to pound some sense into you two"
Looking him right in the eye Suì-Fēng puffed out a breath and said, "Your trying to protect my reputation and I love you for that, but when things reconvene, if you don't speak my name, I will step forward myself!"
Kissing Shiba Yasuuji, Suì-Fēng said, "We protect each-other you idiot!"
As the Trail of Marechiyo Ōmaeda resumed 15 minutes later Shiba Yasuuji still stood their silent not uttering one word, giving Suì-Fēng a look that said, "Are you sure!"
Just as Suì-Fēng was about to step forward Shiba Yasuuji said, "I was in the company of the Lady Suì-Fēng!"
That admission caused the room to go silent
"Before anyone of you ask, Shiba Yasuuji, States, "That is between Suì-Fēng and me!"
"If Captain Commander wants to know I will tell him privately"
30 minutes later in Captain Commander offices Shunsui Kyōraku says,
"I'm Waiting!"
"Indulge me Captain Commander" Shiba Yasuuji said, "I ask you beer witness"
"Suì-Fēng I know we have yet to"
The Captain Commander looked from Shiba Yasuuji, to Suì-Fēng and said, "I see"
"Captain Commander" Shiba Yasuuji said, "Like I told my future wife, some Women are worth dying for!"
Suì-Fēng's gaze snapped to the 2 men and he looked at him saying, "Future Wife?"
"This is not how I pictured asking you!" Shiba Yasuuji said softly
"I've been meaning to ask!" Captain Commander states, "You wouldn't happen to know why Ichigo chose the designation 22nd Division"
"Answers easy!" Shiba Yasuuji Said, "Never Let You Enemy Know Your True Numbers!"
Shunsui Kyōraku chuckles saying, "Here we thought he knew nothing of Strategy & Tactics"
Kissing Shiba Yasuuji, Suì-Fēng said, "Your Forgetting who his Sensei Was/is"
Suì-Fēng shook her head saying, "He plays the fool to gain advantage!"
Snaking her arm round Shiba Yasuuji, Suì-Fēng said for the second time, "Future Wife!... huh?"
"So, will I be preforming another Wedding soon!" Shunsui Kyōraku asks!
The only answer they got was Yasuuji Scooping up Suì-Fēng and Shinpoing out of the building. As they got to his quarters Marcus was waiting for them with an offer.
Later that night looking at Suì-Fēng, Marcus held out what looked like a bottle of wine and said, "This is ambrosia, one sip and you will live as an Immortal like my son"
"Think well Before you act, this can't be undone"
As he turned to leave Marcus said, "Marechiyo Ōmaeda chose Seppuku, Son he asked you be his second!"
"I Understand Father" Shiba Yasuuji said, as he took a breath.
"It's tomorrow at Sunrise"
"When you're ready, I will be there!" Marcus said, "Unless you want me to perform the rights!"
The following morning Suì-Fēng was walking out of the bedroom with the memory of the previous night's passions fresh on her mind.
Suì-Fēng's thoughts drift back 8 hours, Suì-Fēng pushed Shiba Yasuuji back onto the futon as she started stalking up the length removing his cloths as she went. Shiba Yasuuji noticed a slight amount of blood leaking out from her pelvic area as she mounted him, and he realized "I'm her first"
Sitting up she counted all the scars she could see, then starting at the one nearest Shiba Yasuuji's ankle Suì-Fēng started kissing every scar she could find working her way up his body, the thing that sent shivers up her spine was "Even his muscles has muscles" and she could count the striations as he moved in time with her.
Sitting up he wrapped his arms round her waist, then whispered, "Thank you for the gift Suì-Fēng"
He was as gentle as he could be, considering her growing hunger. They were waging a personal war with each other for dominance as they made love, and Suì-Fēng felt her body lose control for what would be the first of six times that night!
"That's not either of your Zanpakutō!" Suì-Fēng said being brought back into the moment, sighing Shiba Yasuuji said, "No, It's not, It's a clan sword and it is only used for one purpose… Executions"
"It's a Katana design… but it's a heaver weight"
In his personal workout area Suì-Fēng notices several Rolled tatami mats cleaved clean in half, thinking, He wants it to be a clean cut!
"I haven't had to do this in a very long time Suì-Fēng"
Suì-Fēng chuckled as she said, "Ichigo once told me The ability to take life is nothing to be proud of"
Sunrise later that morning, the entire Seireitei was gathered upon Sōkyoku Hill, for the duration of The Royal Guard were patrolling the Seireitei proper until it was over.
In the very center of the plateau of Sōkyoku Hill Marechiyo Ōmaeda sat stripped down from the waist up, wrapping a wakizashi in rice paper. Looking down at the man Shiba Yasuuji said, "Ready!"
Ōmaeda gave a slight nod plunging the blade into his midriff and cutting across as a river of crimson spew forth. Then in a motion so effortless, so swift that even Captain Commander only notices the hint of a fffttt in his ear as Shiba Yasuuji cut Marechiyo Ōmaeda's head clean off in one motion.
Yuzu was about to step forward and pronounce death when her father's hand came to rest on her shoulder and his soft voice said, "You get the next one k"
Isshin knew how bad it was going to be and dam it she was still his little girl. Walking to the center of the plateau he knew the man was dead, but conformation had to be given!
So that's what he did, looking at Captain Commander Shunsui Kyōraku, Isshin shook his head.
Without lifting his head Isshin, stated, "That sword has been missing for 10 millennia, and you are not truly clan head without it!"
"Isshin" Shiba Yasuuji stated, "I was the last clan head to have to use this, shortly after that Gotei 13 was formed and that responsibility became theirs!"
Shiba Yasuuji snapped his fingers reducing Marechiyo Ōmaeda's body to ash.
30 minutes later at the new Shiba complex, Shiba Yasuuji and Suì-Fēng approached Karin and Yuzu.
Shiba Yasuuji spent the night telling the girls all about their family history. Suì-Fēng told them all about Yoruichi's time as a Captain of the Second Division.
