Yo guys, I'm back with chapter 3.
I'm extremely sorry for the late update.
Well anyway, thank's for the reviews, it's really motivating. And maybe some answers are needed.
1) Yes, Aizen will be a part of this fic, as you will find out in this chapter.
2) When a human dies, and his soul is sent to soul society, or he becomes a hollow, the soul can't remember his past life. I don't remember when they said this in Bleach but I'm quiet sure of this fact. So, Ichigo's soul didn't die, but the memories of his past life where simply erased. Then again, him being a soul reaper and his chain of fate being severed, it could be assumed that if his body died while he is in it, his soul would just be pushed out of his body, or something like that. The fact is, we don't know the process, Ichigo being a first in the Bleach Universe, so I just assumed that if he died, he would go through the circle of reincarnation, and pop in soul society.
Onto the story.
Enjoy !
Disclaimer : I do not own Bleach.
(Some time later in Seireitei : Rukia's POV)
Rukia was struggling with her paperwork, there was no end to it, suddenly a hell butterfly entered her office. She got up and listened to it as it whispered in her ear. She then immediatly got up and shunpoed out of her office, disapearing in a flash.
(a few instants later)
Rukia was shunpoing towards the first division barracks. She eventually met Renji on the way, who was heading there as well.
"He's here Renji, and he came without resistance to"
"Yeah, it's surprising he came willingly, if what I heard about his behaviour towards Seireitei is correct"
"Trust me, you'r not the only one who is surprised. I'm curious to know how they managed it thought"
"We will know at the captain meeting"
"Right"
and that said they headded full speed towards the first division barracks.
(Back to Joishiro)
They had arrived in Seireitei. Joishiro was impressed to say the least, the Seireitei was way bigger and richer than he had expected, but it also made him boile in rage even more at the shinigami, who lived in their fancy city, while the Rukongai was in a miserable state.
They eventually headed towards an enourmous building with the kanji "one" on it. He was then led into a big hall and was told to wait, Soifon disapeared in a flash, probably to informe someone of their arrival, while the tree other soul reapers stayed with him.
the minutes passed and nothing happened, and Joishiro was seriously starting to fume.
"What are we waiting for" he asked clearly annoyed
"They should arrive any minute now" cryptically replied Kensei
"Who's 'they' "
"You will see" he said before turning away
as he was avout to replie, he heard several personnes shunpoing, and a second later he was surrounded by soul reapers. He then heard a cane tapping the floor, and as it tapped the shinigami's got into a proper line, including the ones at his side.
"Now then, let's commence the meeting" an older looking shinigami said calmly, however his voice deborded with autorithy, and it was quiet easy to understand that the gramps wasn't one to mess with. It also appeared that he was in the middle of a captain meeting, if the haories were anything to judge by.
He saw several captain's looking at him with sadness or concern in their eyes, and that disturbed him greatly.
"You are Joishiro, is that correct" the gramps, who he assumed was the head captain, then adressed him
"I am"
"And you wish to become a shinigami, under a certain condition that is, as I was told by Soifon"
"Hai, I'll only become a shinigami if the Seireitei appologizes to the whole of Rukongai" he calmly responded.
"I see" Yammamoto mused
He then saw the head captain nodding curtly at Soifon.
He was about to ask what was going on when he saw Soifon disapear , only for her to appear right behind him. He turned around surprised, when he heard her starting to chant
"Roaring chariot. Wheel breach. Let the light separate into six"
this was bad, he knew he had to get away, but there was no escape, the hall was after all, filled with soul reapers. He knew he was doomed
'SHIT, SHIT', "SHIIIIIITT"
Bakudō no sixty one : Rikujōkōrō"
four pilars of light shot towards him and slammed into his waist.
He cursed, he couldn't escape, he couldn't move, he began to panick
"WHY ?" he asked, as he could barrely stand.
"You are a threat to Soul Society" Yammamoto simply replied
"Bastards..." he made an attempt to move, but failed.
He could feel his powers leaving him, before he collapsed and lost conciousness.
(an undetermined amount of time later)
Joishiro oppened his eyes, one eye actually, he couldn't oppen the other one. He tried to move, but felt restrained somehow, and that was seriously irking him.
'What happened' he asked himself
there was flash in his mind, and everything returned to him
'Bastards... I'll make them pay' he thought with barely contained rage
"It seems you have finally regained consciousness" a voice said
Joishiro finally took note of his surroundings. He was in a huge room. Many personnes that looked like politicians were seated all around him. He was in the middle of the room, and as he looked at himself, attached to a chair it appeared. The only light present in the room was illuminating him, leaving the politicians in the darkness. He also noticed a few captains, and men in white uniform at the side of the room.
"WHERE AM I ? WHAT DID YOU DO ? ANSWER ME" he yelled at them. Hatred could be felt in every word.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO, BOY" a politician roared back.
"WE ARE THE CENTRAL 46, YOU HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO SHOW US RESPECT"
"THE FUCK, YOU THINK YOU EARNED IT" Joishiro raged
the man ignored him and simply nodded to one of the man in white who where standing at the side. The man in question approched him, and he suddenly felt an indescribable pain, like his body would tear itself appart.
"Now that you'r a silent, the trial can begin" the politician said
Joishiro didn't answer, he was still under the shock of what had just happened.
"What did you do to me" he asked shacking
"What, ahh that, just a nifty little spell, a quiet handy one for the loude ones like you I must admit" he told him coldly, chuckling under his breath.
He then turned towards another politician,
"Now the charges"
"Yes Head Judge"
'So that one is the boss hu' Joishiro thought
the other politician/judge turned towards Joishiro and started talking
"You are accused of many infamous things..." he started
Joishiro just looked at the judge dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, what could they accuse him off, he hadn't done anything
"...
- You are accused of insulting the Seireitei
- You are accused of asking the Seireitei to apologize to the Rukongai
- You are accused of having to much power
- You are accused of taking sides with the Rukongai
..."
'Where they mad ? What was their problem' he asked himself, shocked. He quickly regained composure thought.
"Are you serious, that's what you accuse me off" he asked in disbelief
The Head Judge looked at him
"Are you denying those accusations"
"Hell no but..."
"...
If you are not denying those accusations, you are declared guilty
..."
"BUT.."
"...
And declared a threat towards Soul Society
..."
"WHAT, STOP FUCKING ME, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS"
"...
Being a threat towards Soul Society, you shall be sealed away in munken for 20 000 years
"
Silence
No one was talking, they were all curious to know how he would take it.
Joishiro finally turned his head towards Kensei, who was one of the captains that were present.
"Traitor" he simply accused him of, a look of rage and betrayal in his eyes as they bored into Kensei, and the captain started to shift uncomfortably.
"TRAITORS, ALL OF YOU. DO YOU HAVE NO SHAME. FIRST YOU INVITE ME HERE, TELLING ME YOU WANT ME TO BECOME A SHINIGAMI, AND THEN, And then..." he raged before looking at the floor not knowing what to say.
He felt someone approaching him from behind, and suddenly felt the indescribable pain again, but this time it was a hundred times stronger, enough for enyone to go mad.
He screamed, and passed out.
(an undertimined amount of time later)
'Hu, where am I, what is happening' Joishiro thought as he slowly regained consciousness and felt himself being moved. He then proceeded to crack open an eye leed, the left one actually, the right still seemed to be restrained by something.
Alas, what he saw didn't reassure him at all.
Four white claded men like the one that had tortured him where now moving him, and his chair as he noticed that he was still bound to it. He seemed to be in an underground tunnel, and they were going deeper and deeper into the darkness, which didn't please him at all.
'Bastards' he thought as he recalled what had happened. 'Do they even know what a fair trial is... a trial for what, I didn't even do a damn thing. Guess they just wanted to get rid of me. I never should have come along, I knew Shinigami were bastards, and I still fell into their trap. DAMN !'
"DDAAAMMMMNNNN !"
The four man in white clad looked at him looked at him obviously not expecting this, beliving him to be asleep. The apparent leader of the four spoke
"My My, it seems we got a talkative one, ne guys"
the others chuckled
"But I must say, you must be a freaking powerhouse to be imprisonned alongside Aizen, no joke."
"Where are we" Joishiro asked him, wanting to know what would await him.
"On our way to munken, ENJOY !" he said the last word sarcastically
Ichigo deadpanned, 'already !? they didn't even let him a chance to explain himself ?'
"Fuck" he muttered "Seems like my time is up then"
(30 minutes later)
"Okay, here were are. The cell in front of you is going to be your home for quiet some time, make yourself comfortable" he said sarcastically again
Joishiro looked at the huge bronze gate in front of him, his eyes dull from everything that had happened to him in the short time since he had left Rukongai. 'What would Ren say. Wait... he would never know actually, why would they tell him or anyone'
The thirty last minutes had passed quickly. Neither he or the white claded man uttered a word. It was depressing to say the least.
He looked at his cell again, snapping from his thoughts, when one of the four man approched him from behind.
He fell uncounscious again
(an undetermined amount of time later)
Joishiro was feeling dizzy, and even more restricted than usual, if that was even possible.
He slowly oppened his left eye leed and saw nothing but pitch black darkness.
When his eye finally adjusted to the darkness, he could disting another man, bound in the same sort of chair than the one in wich he was attached.
Thinking back to what he had heard at his joke of a trial, and what he overheard from people gossiping when he was in Rukongai, he could only guess who the sealed person in the darkness in front of him was.
"Are you Sosuke Aizen ?"
Joishiro asked unsure.
The figure replied, startling him.
"At last we meet again"
That's it for Chapter 3. Hope you enjoyed it.
Question : Do you want Aizen to tell Ichigo the truth about his life before he died right from the beginning, or should Aizen tell him later on in the story ?
I really don't know, and both are possible. So, please tell me what you would prefer in the reviews, I will take them in account.
See you until next time ;;;;)
