Fallout
In the 40th District of North Rukongai called Minori, Kota pointed the house to Kamito and they both went to the house. They opened the door and there they saw a man who middle aged and brown mid-length hair, brown eyes, and wore a light blue sleeveless robe. The middle aged man looked at the two men who came into his house.
"Oh, looks like I have visitors," The middle aged man said, "Hello there Kota."
"Hi, sorry to drop by unannounced," Kota said with a grin, "I came with someone who I want to you to meet."
Kamito stepped forward and stood next to Kota.
"Hello there," Kamito said.
"This is Kamito Kazehaya," Kota said and then he turned to Kamito, "Kamito, this is Tatsu. This is the guy I was telling you about."
"It's nice to meet you Tatsu," Kamito said.
The middle aged man named smiled and nodded at Kamito.
"Likewise," Tatsu said, "it's nice to meet you Kamito. I'm Tatsu Ueno and I am assuming that you are new here, correct?"
"Yes I just arrived here in the Soul Society after I died," Kamito said.
"I see," Tatsu said smiling, "well sit and relax you two. It's always nice to have friendly conversations."
Mining Town Gado, Ordesia Empire
Deep within the mines of the deserted town, Ellis and the other knights with her were on the ground as they suffered terrible defeats and they were bleeding. Claire, Rinslet, and Fianna were on the ground as well and Jio was standing tall with Gladius in his hand.
"You're pathetic," Jio said, "every single one of you. What the hell made you think that you can take me on?"
"You're going to pay," Fianna said weakly.
"Huh?" Jio replied as he turned to Fianna.
Fianna looked at Jio with anger and defiance.
"You're going to pay," Fianna said as tears ran from her eyes, "you're going to pay for what you did to Kamito."
"Kamito," Jio said.
"You fiend," Claire said as she and Rinslet looked at Jio with hatred.
Jio calmly walked over and stopped next to Fianna. Jio kicked Fianna and stomped his foot on Fianna's chest causing the princess to scream in pain.
"Fianna!" Claire said.
"Stop it!" Rinslet demanded, "Let her go!"
"Shut up," Jio said, "shut the hell up you stupid bitches."
Fianna screamed in pain as she struggled to get Jio's foot off her chest.
"You're weak and pathetic just like that pinhead Kamito," Jio said coldly, "that fool deserved to die… just like the rest of you will be."
Jio raised Gladius up and was about to stab Fianna but then he moved away as a flame attack was shot towards him. Jio looked and saw that it was Claire as she was panting and Jio was seething.
"Oh I see," Jio said, "you want to die first. You should have just said so."
Jio walked over to Claire ready to kill her and Claire was wide eyed in fear.
"That's enough Jio Inzagi," A female voice said.
Jio stopped and frowned and Fianna, Claire, and Rinslet looked and they were shocked to see who it was and it was Rubia, Claire's older sister.
"S-Sister," Claire said shocked.
Rubia stood before them and then sighed.
"Claire, I had hoped that we wouldn't have to meet like this," Rubia said.
Fianna was upset to see Rubia remembering what had occurred four years prior and Rinslet didn't know what to make of the situation.
"Enough is enough," Jio said.
Rubia looked at Jio and wondered what he meant by that.
"Jio, what did you just say?" Rubia asked.
"I told you before," Jio said, "that's you're not going to just keep giving me orders."
Jio moved and the next thing that happened was a strong slash and blood had been spilled. Ellis looked up as she was bleeding from her head and what she saw was a shock to her as she was wide eyed.
"You should be happy," Jio said, "after all, you're going to go where Kamito is."
District 40 of North Rukongai, Minori, Soul Society
In the house, Kamito and Kota were meeting Tatsu and having a conversation.
"I see," Tatsu said, "it sounds like you had a hard time Kamito."
"I'm amazed that I was able to make it through against a Hollow," Kamito said.
"That's true," Kota said, "normally citizens wouldn't be fighting against Hollow and yet you fought and actually won against the Hollow while four Shinigami lost their lives against it."
"It's not normal, is it?" Kamito asked.
"No, it's not," Tatsu said, "Shinigami from the Seireitei are the ones who are able to take care of it. I have heard that sometimes that there are Hollows that even Shinigami have trouble which leads having captain-class Shinigami to take care of it."
"Captain-class Shinigami?" Kamito asked, "Is that how it is?"
"I know that you just arrived here in the Soul Society," Tatsu said, "but I wonder, are you curious about the Shinigami?"
"Umm, maybe but not right now," Kamito said.
"Okay, if you get curious and want to know, tell me," Tatsu said.
"I will," Kamito said with a nod.
Kota looked on and nodded with a smile.
"So I was wondering if there was a place where I can stay," Kamito said.
"Hmm, well there is a small house by the river," Tatsu said, "although it is a bit rundown."
"Can you tell me where so that I can go?" Kamito asked.
"Hey, I can take you there," Kota said.
"Would you?" Kamito asked.
"Yeah, I can show you there," Kota said.
"I see," Kamito said, "thanks."
Later on, Kota was guiding Kamito and they arrived and saw the small house that was rundown.
"That's the place," Kota said, "no one lives there now. The last person that lived there moved to the Seireitei to become a Shinigami."
"Oh really?" Kamito asked.
"Yeah, he became a Shinigami and moved to the Seireitei," Kota said.
"Does this person come by since then?" Kamito asked.
"Not that I know of," Kota said, "this happened 50 years ago."
"50 years ago?" Kamito asked.
"Yeah, it's been that long although it doesn't feel like it's been long," Kota said.
"I see," Kamito said, "well anyway, thanks for help and showing me around. I really appreciate you and Tatsu."
"Yeah, no problem," Kota said, "well I'm going to now. I'll see you again."
"Yeah later," Kamito said smiling, "thanks again Kota."
"No problem," Kota said with a smile, "we're friends now."
Kamito was surprised and thought about his past with when he asked Rinslet to be his friend. He was sad as it reminded him that he was not going to see Rinslet or anyone from the Ordesia Empire again including Claire but he was happy that he made two friend not long after arriving in the Soul Society. Kamito went inside as Kota left. Kamito was looking inside the rundown small house.
"Well at least it's not a shed," Kamito said amused.
Kamito remember the shed that Ellis had for him to stay and he was amused at the memory although he felt insulted as he was treated less than human at the time although giving that he was staying in an all-girls school at the time, he assumed that it could not be helped.
Areishia Spirit Academy, Ordesia Empire
In the Headmistress Office, Greyworth was upset as she had received bad news from Freya who was in the office.
"Claire's team failed," Greyworth said.
"Unfortunately that is the case," Freya said, "the culprit that killed Kamito Kazehaya was there at Gado but he was not the only one… she was there… the Calamity Queen herself."
"Rubia Elstein," Greyworth said with a frown.
"Yes," Freya said.
"The girls, where are they?" Greyworth asked.
"Right now they're in the medical facility," Freya said, "Rouge, Laurenfrost, Ordesia, and even the knights that went there to accompany them," Freya frowned, "right now they are barely holding on. They suffered such grave injuries. I was told that they got unexpected help in the last second."
"From who?" Greyworth asked,
"We don't know," Freya asked, "None of them could identify their rescuer or rescuers. However, the Calamity Queen was able to take the military spirit and caused a disaster in the town."
"So in other words, the mission was a failure," Greyworth said bitterly.
"That is the case," Freya said, "in which the powers at be won't care about the injuries that they suffered, our students and this school will blamed for this disaster."
"As the Headmistress of the academy, I'll be held responsible for this," Greyworth said, "they're going to know that the Calamity Queen was involved and with Claire who was on the mission, it's just going to make it worse."
"Headmistress," Freya said with concern.
"Leave me for now Freya," Greyworth said, "I need to be alone."
"Understood," Freya said with a nod.
Greyworth was left alone and the headmistress frowned and she clenched her fists.
"Everything has gone downhill," Greyworth said and then she clenched her teeth, "Dammit Kamito, if only had not gotten yourself killed."
Elsewhere in the Ordesia Empire
Jio was on the ground and was in pain. He looked up with contempt and was glaring at Rubia with Laevateinn in hand and the flames circled around them. Rubia was looking at Jio with a death glare and looked at him like he was lower than trash.
"Rubia Elstein, you bitch!" Jio said with hatred, "You think you can this me, me! I'm the successor of the Demon King damn it!"
"When are you going to shut up about that?" Rubia responded annoyed, "You are not the successor of the Demon King. You are nothing more but the Instructional School's failed test subject."
"What was that?" Jio replied angrily as he was offended, "You have some nerve you damn bitch!"
"I gave you specific instructions," Rubia said with a cold tone, "I told you the consequences if you didn't follow through. You messed things up the moment you decided to kill Kamito Kazehaya as he was the true successor of the Demon King and now…" Rubia frowned as she shook her head, "regarding with that Dark Spirit, you haven't found her even when I had Muir and Lily work with you but you were idiotic in thinking that you would be able to kill him and rubbed it in Muir's face about how you killed Kamito and now she's going to be difficult because you couldn't keep your mouth shut ," Rubia looked at Jio with a glare, "and now you have the nerve, the audacity to try to take Laevateinn from me! You think that that you can take me and try to kill me!"
Jio started to laugh and Rubia was caught off surprised but it also made to have a foul mood.
"What are you laughing about?" Rubia asked, "Do you really want me to turn you into charcoal?"
"Go!" Jio yelled, "Barguest!"
A lava shaped hound spirit appeared and quickly charged toward Rubia. Rubia on the other hand and easily cut the lava hound down and brought it down. Rubia then realized that Jio did that as to serve as a distraction and she quickly turned around and blocked the attack by Jio who brought out Gladius.
"I got you," Jio said with a confident grin.
"That's where you're wrong," Rubia said.
Jio brought out his left arm and then blood was sprayed up as it was spilled. Jio was shocked and then looked at his left arm and saw that it had severed from his body. Jio screamed in pain and Rubia cut him down to the ground and something was on the ground and it was a blood stone.
"This is why you're a failure," Rubia said, "why you're not the Demon King's successor," Rubia walked up to Jio and planted her foot on his chest making Jio yelp in pain, "and you think that you take me on. I'm not like Kamito Kazehaya, or those knights in the academy, nor am I like that Laurenfrost girl, that pathetic princess…" Rubia frowned and she looked sad, "and I'm certainly not like my little sister as well."
"I wonder about that," Jio said as he looked at Rubia with defiance, "tell me," Jio grinned, "how it felt for you?"
"What are you talking about?" Rubia asked.
"How did it feel to just stand by and watch me take your sister down?" Jio asked with a sadistic grin.
Jio expected Rubia to be taken aback and flinched with sadness but he was surprised that Rubia expression did not show any concern
"Such a pointless question," Rubia said, "it's irrelevant. My sister was simply at the wrong place, at the wrong time. That's all there is to it."
"Tch," Jio responded.
"You weren't expecting that kind of response from me I take it," Rubia said, "pathetic, you underestimate me," Rubia moved closer as flames moved closer as well, "you underestimate my resolve and desire. But now with Kamito dead, it's messed up what I had planned and with the Blade Dance coming up right around the corner."
"Don't you see?" Jio said, "You need me for your plans."
"No, I don't," Rubia said, "you're nothing more but a means to an end and quite frankly, you're no longer any use to me, you're actually a liability."
Jio clenched his teeth as he was still bleeding from having his arm cut off and looked at Rubia with hatred, "you think that you can just disrespect me just like that? You'll pay!"
"Hard to take you seriously when you're on the ground bleeding and having your arm cut off," Rubia replied, "but let's just end this right now. I'm done with you."
"I'll kill you!" Jio said angrily.
Jio moved and tried to get his blood stone but Rubia proved to be faster and struck Jio down again. Jio laid on the ground dead and Rubia just stared at Jio's dead body before moving in and taking the blood stone and then she sighed.
"Come out you two," Rubia said.
"Yes Cardinal," A female voice said.
"Okay," Another female voice said.
Two girls showed up and one of them was an Elfim girl with long jade green hair and it was Lily Flame. The other one was a blonde haired girl that had had her hair tied to pigtails and it was Muir Alenstral.
"We're going to move to the next phase," Rubia said.
"Understood," Lily said.
Muir just looked at the dead Jio and clenched her teeth in anger and went and kicked his dead body frustrated.
"Muir," Rubia said.
"This bastard killed my Onii-sama," Muir said, "I see no point in continuing now that Onii-sama is dead."
"I understand that is very upsetting," Rubia said, "but we can't afford to stop now. We just need to move on."
"Just move on and act like nothing happen," Muir said upset.
"Muir, calm down," Lily said, "it's over and there's nothing we can do about it. It's in the past now."
"Past?" Muir responded and turned to glare at Lily, "Past!"
"Muir?" Lily asked.
"Hey, calm down, now is not the time," Rubia said losing patience.
Meanwhile in the air, the Shinigami was looking seeing what was going on with Rubia, Lily, and Muir.
The Next Day, 40th District of North Rukongai, Minori, Soul Society
Kamito stepped out of his small rundown house and stretched his arms. Kamito looked around.
"I should walk around and get more familiar with this district," Kamito said, "It'll give me time to decide what I really want to do."
Kamito went on his walk and had his thoughts with everything that has happened. Kamito sighed and wondered what he was really going to do when he suddenly heard some noises.
"Huh, what's going on?" Kamito asked.
Kamito rushed to see what was going. Not long afterwards, Kamito saw what the source was. He was seeing three men surrounding someone and it was an old man. Kamito was surprised at what he was seeing.
"So is that the bag of Kan that you were hiding Old Man Ito?" One of the men asked, "We'll take it out of your hands."
Kamito was surprised at what he heard.
"What?" Kamito said in his head, "Wait, Kan… oh right, that's the currency here in the Soul Society that Tatsu told me about."
"Heh, knew you were holding out old man," The second man said with a grin, "I'm sure the boss will be pleased that you had a change of heart and were… well generous."
"Just stop please," The old man named Ito pleaded, "you've already taken enough from me. I need this money. You can't take this. This is my money, not yours."
The third man kicked Ito to the ground. Ito coughed and then the third man planted his foot on Ito's chest. Kamito was shocked in what he was seeing.
"Stupid old man," The third man said, "you should know better not to go against us. We of the Oka Gang run things here and that means doing what we say."
"Stop please!" Ito pleaded.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Kamito spoke.
"Huh?" The men said as they looked and saw Kamito.
Ito saw Kamito and was not pleased to see him. The three men walked over to Kamito to intimidate him.
"Huh, who the hell are you kid?" The first man said.
"Look kid, this is not of your business," The second man said, "so do you yourself a favor and just walk away."
Kamito sighed, "Look, I don't know what the deal is around here but it's obvious that what you three is doing is not right. So how about you three just give the man his money back and just walk away. I think we can be all happy about that."
The three men just looked at Kamito and started laughing. Ito was annoyed that Kamito was getting involved in something that in his mind was not his business.
"Kid, do you not know who we are?" The second man asked.
"No, I don't," Kamito answered, "after all, I just arrived here yesterday and I'm still learning my way here."
"Oh yeah?" The third man said and then he grabbed Kamito's head.
"Hey," Kamito said surprised at the third man's action.
"We're members of the Oka Gang," The third man said, "we of the Oka Gang control run this district. That means everyone here answers to us… and that now includes you."
"Now that with that, I think you can understand now," The second man said, "Everybody in Minori answers to us."
Kamito had his head and that gave the three Oka members the indication that Kamito understood what was expected of him. Suddenly the third man was punched in the gut by Kamito and the Kamito followed up by flipping him over. The other two were shocked and rushed towards Kamito and Kamito countered by kicking the first man in the face and dodged the second man's punch and by going down and did a leg sweep on the second man. The second man fell on the ground. Kamito was surprised at himself at what he just did and the one of the men pulled out a knife and charged towards Kamito. Kamito reacted by dodging the attack and grabbed the man's arm disarming him of the knife. Kamito then struck in the back and caused the man to fall on the ground. The three men were in pain and they clenched their teeth as Kamito took the bag of Kan that belonged to the old man.
"You bastard!" The second man said angrily.
"So you want to continue?" Kamito asked, "I'm willing to go at it all day."
"You little shit!" The third man said angrily as he and the first man got up, "Don't get carried away with yourself!"
"Be careful," The first man said, "This kid, he's more dangerous than he looks."
The second and third man growled in response and stared at Kamito as the one in question kept his guard up.
"What's your name boy?" The first man asked.
Kamito glared at the three men before he answered.
"It's Kamito," Kamito replied, "I am Kamito Kazehaya."
"Kamito Kazehaya," The first man said with a glare, "congratulations you little bastard. You just made yourself an enemy to the Oka Gang."
"You're going to pay," The second man said, "Once the boss hears about this, you will have no escape."
"Nobody messes with us and gets away with it," The third man said.
"Let's go," The first man said.
The three men of the Oka Gang left and Kamito sighed and then went to Ito. Kamito offered his hand to Ito.
"Are you okay?" Kamito asked with concern.
"Uh yeah," Ito said, "thanks."
Kamito handed Ito his bag of Kan and Ito nodded and gave his thanks again.
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Kamito faces the leader of the Oka Gang.
