I apologize for it being over seven months since I last updated. I lost inspiration in this story and honestly I have a different story idea that I want to work on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, PJO/HOO.


The Soul Society was unlike anything the demigods have ever seen. All the buildings were like they were in ancient Japan. The people who passed by wore black kimonos with a sword at their side.

"Welcome to the Soul Society!" Persephone announced to the awestruck group. "I would love to give you a tour, but I have business to attend to with the captains and lieutenants which you will meet eventually. Third seat Ikaku and Fifth seat Yumichika of the Eleventh Squad will do so in my place." As if on que two soul-reapers, one bald and the other with feathers, appeared kneeling by her side in respect.

"They will make sure you don't get lost or hurt. You will be respectful to them and their zanpakutos." Once again two beings appeared behind the soul-reapers also kneeling. One looked like a very hairy monkey with reddish-brown fur and the other had no shirt on but was covered by something that looked green feathers.

"At the end they will lead you to where I will be so you can meet the captains. They will be the ones to tell how it went. The Head Captain will give you rules that I have not established yet and we will tell you which squad barracks you are staying at."

"Now, if you will excuse me." She turned her back toward the group. Taking a step forward, she vanished.


"They will be here in a little bit," Persephone told the captains, lieutenants, and their zanpakutos on Sōkyoku Hill. "Each of you will be introduced, excluding Rukia, and I will tell them the rules once again. Head-Captain Yamamoto will add anything I have left out. I will answer the questions they have and assigned them to the squads they will stay in."

"The other gods will be here tomorrow including the king," she added strolling up and down the room to meet each of the soul-reapers eyes. "I want every captain and lieutenant here. No zanpakutos are allowed to be manifested expect for Kazeshini. One or two representatives of their group of demigods, with the exception of the Big Three children, must be at the meeting. All five of the children will be here no matter what, as requested by the king."

"You are not allowed to address him by his title," Persephone ordered. "None of the other gods know he is the ruler except for my husband and his two nieces. With that said..." She stopped in front of the tenth captain. "Try not to make Zeus mad or let him anger you. I know you're temper will eventually get the best of you."

"I will not bow for that bastard," Toshiro claimed angrily.

"I'm not asking you to," the goddess insisted. "I'm asking you to show a little respect. If he doesn't show you any respect, then I won't say a word if you mouth off to him, unless it's something stupid, then I'll butt in."

When he nodded, Persephone twirled to the ninth captain and noticed someone was missing. Sighing she looked at Saru, the female half of Zabimaru. "Would you mind moving to Kazeshini's place until he arrives?"

With a nod, Saru unhook the chain from Hebe's, the other boy half of Zabimaru, collar. "Don't do anything stupid," she ordered before hurrying over to kneel behind Kensei who didn't look too happy.

"If he's not here before the gods arrive, you will manifest and take his place. Someone close by will help you put the lieutenant's band on." Persephone glanced up to Kensei. "And you will not get angry at her for doing so and you will not get mad at Kazeshini for being late."

"Do you know how many times-"

"Yes," she interrupted, "I do. But I'm not holding it against him because I know where he's at."

"And that would be. . ?"

"At the Fourth Squad Barracks, keeping an eye on his master who could be minutes away from either waking up or dying and he is hoping that it isn't the latter."

"What would happen if he did?"

Persephone took a step back, realizing something as she looked back and forth from the three newest captains. "No one has told you yet, have they?"

When they shook their head no she explained, "When Muramasa manifested the zanpakuto, a lot of soul-reapers were killed. Those soul-reapers' zanpakutos were still alive though and they turned rogue, meaning their powers turned evil and they tried to kill everyone they saw. If a soul-reaper kills someone else's zanpakuto, the zanpakuto won't be able to manifest ever again and its master will be weaponless."

"And that's why Kazeshini refuses to fight you," she continued. "He's afraid he will die or he will start turning into a Sword Beast even though Hisagi isn't dead yet."

"But-"

Persephone raised her hand to stop the conversation. "That's enough for now. The demigods are here!"


The demigods were walking up the path to the hill when Karin, who was close to the front, asked, "Isn't this where Ichigo saved Rukia from being executed?"

Ikkaku called over his shoulder. "How do you know about that?"

"He told me," she explained, "after he lost his powers. He told me everything that happened; from him invading the Soul Society to defeating Aizen."

"So he told you about the Zanpakuto Rebellion?" Ikkaku's zanpakuto questioned.

"Yep!" Karin exclaimed. "He told me all of their names. Like I know your name is Hozukimaru and his nickname is Fuji-Kujaku."

"I do not like to be called by that name." Fuji-Kujaku complained.

"That's what Ichigo said." Karin started jumping from one rock to another as she was getting bored. "But he didn't want to be disrespectful to Yumichika by calling you by your real name."

"How does he-"

"We're here!" Yumichika announced, purposefully interrupting his zanpakuto. They came up top of the hill to be surprised by the lined up officials and the elderly man at the end.

Once everyone was there, Persephone greeted them warmly, "Welcome! These here are the captains and lieutenants of the Soul Society with some of their manifested zanpakutos. Some zanpakuto are not manifested because they weren't around during their rebellion."

"As I said before, you will be respectful to all soul-reapers and their zanpakutos," Persephone ordered, "or else there will be consequences. For now I will assign you to each squad with the exception of Squad One, Squad Twelve, and Squad Thirteen. The Hermes cabin, Hypnos cabin, and the Fourth Cohort will be staying in Squad Two with Captain Soi Fon and Lieutenant Omaeda. The Iris cabin and Third Cohort will stay in Squad Three with Captain Ōtoribashi and Lieutenant Kira. The Demeter cabin, the Hebe cabin, and the First Cohort will stay in Squad Four with Captain Unohana and Lieutenant Kotetsu."

Persephone paused to address Momo. "Lieutenant Himawari, will you be able to handle the demigods if they went wild while your captain was away?" When she agreed, Persephone continued, "The Aphrodite and Tyche cabins will stay in Squad Five with Captain Hirako and, of course, Lieutenant Himawari. Since Squad Six has a lot going on only the Athena cabin will be there with Captain Kuchiki and Lieutenant Abarai. The Hephaestus cabin, Hecate cabin, and the Second Cohort will be in Squad Seven with Captain Komamura and Lieutenant Iba. The Apollo, Dionysus, and Nike cabins will stay in Squad Eight with Captain Kyoraku and Lieutenant Ise."

Persephone stopped to think about what she was going to say next. "Since Squad Nine has a lieutenant in the Fourth Squad's relief station, I think it would be best if the Hunters of Artemis and the Amazons stay there with Captain Muguruma,"

While the girls were starting to groan and complain, Thalia raised her hand respectfully. Persephone acknowledged her, "Yes? What is it Thalia?"

Thalia motioned to Saru, who had her head down and was still kneeling behind Kensei. "What about her? Is she the lieutenant's zanpakuto?"

Saru raised her head as Persephone hesitated before answering, "No, she is the other half of Lieutenant Abarai's zanpakuto. She has been helping Squad Nine's lieutenant's zanpakuto catch up with the paper work that he's behind on because he makes long and multiple visits to see his master in each day."

"Lady Persephone." With a disgruntle sigh, Saru offered, "If my master and his captain don't mind, I'm willing to stay in Squad Nine until the Huntresses and Amazons are comfortable with the other members."

When the one in charge received two nods of approval, she went on, "Alright then, Huntresses and Amazons, this generous zanpakuto is known as Saru when she is not with her partner. I suggest you be very kind to her, because she does have my permission to return her squad if you are rude or disrespectful to her."

"Continuing on the Ares cabin, Nemesis cabin, and the Fifth Cohort will stay in Squad Eleven with Captain Zaraki and his adopted daughter Lieutenant Kusajishi, whose members are also Third Seat Madarame and Fifth Seat Ayasegawa."

"Don't think I've left you out," Persephone insisted once she saw the looks on Percy's and Nico's face. "It is requested by the king that the children of the Big Three, Roman and Greek, stay in Squad Ten with Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Matsumoto along with the humans that were invited." She turned her attention to Thalia, "So nothing is chaotic, you are allowed to stay at Squad Nine during the day, but must return to Squad Ten when it gets dark. Luckily the barracks are next to each other so the distance you travel isn't great."

"That settles the living arrangements for now. If you demigods have any questions just ask the captain or lieutenant of the squad your staying in. Tomorrow the immortals will arrive during the captains and lieutenants meeting. Each squad will have to bring one or two representatives to the meeting except for Squad Ten. All demigods and humans from that squad are forced to be present by orders of the king!"


Karin was ecstatic when she heard she's be staying with Toshiro and Rangiku. She knew those two more and longer than any others. By the look she saw in Toshiro's eyes when Lady Persephone made the arrangements, she could tell he was glad for that too.

Anyways, before Toshiro would let them into his office, he asked the group, "How good are you at keeping secrets?" When they said they were fairly decent, he continued, "Good, because no one outside my squad knows about this, so not one word to anyone else. Understood?"

When they agreed he opened the door to his office. On the couch sleeping quietly and wrapped in a white fuzzy blanket was a blue haired girl that was even smaller than Yachiru, if that was possible. Upon hearing the door, her aqua eyes opened immediately. She started squirming in her confinement, shouting in a giggling manner, "Toshi! Help, Giku, help!"

At the sound at her little nickname from the child, Rangiku made her way to the child and unwrapped her before placing her on the floor. The little girl dressed in a rag-like dress started crawling to Toshiro while shouting, "Up up! Toshi, up!"

Toshiro easily carried the child and kissed her cheek affectionately while the child giggled. "Everyone," he started off shortly afterwards as he rested the girl on his hip, "this is my little niece, Diana."
