Siblings
Kamito was facing Muir who he did not see in years and did not expect.
"I finally found you Onii-sama," Muir said happily.
"Muir, it's really is you," Kamito said.
"I'm sure you have questions," Muir said.
"I do," Kamito said, "so let's go get something to eat. We can talk while we head there."
"Hmph, fine with me," Muir said smiling, "just as long as I get to spend time with you."
"This is quite the event," Restia said, "I never thought that you would be here."
"Are you upset?" Muir asked glaring at Restia.
"Not really," Restia responded with a shrug, "I'm just surprised."
"Oh, if you're going, you don't mind if I join you, do you?" A female voice asked.
Kamito, Muir, Restia, and Est turned and saw Leonora.
"Oh Leonora, it's you," Kamito said.
Leonora smiled and looked at Kamito as she was pleased. Muir stared and pointed at Leonora.
"Onii-sama, who is this?" Muir asked with a cold stare.
Leonora looked at Muir and smiled.
"Hello there," Leonora said, "I'm Leonora Lancaster, who are you?"
"Leonora, this is Muir," Kamito said with a smile, "Muir Alenstral."
"Oh, I see," Leonora said, "she called you Onii-sama. Is she your family?"
"Y-Yeah," Kamito replied, "she agreed to be my sister. We actually know each other from our original world."
"Oh," Leonora replied, "then she's the same as us."
"Same as us?" Muir replied, "Wait, are you from the world we came from?"
"Are you familiar of the Dracunia Empire?" Leonora asked.
"I am," Muir replied.
"Then are you familiar of the Knights of the Dragon Emperor?" Leonora asked.
"I am," Muir said and then she realized, "Oh I see… I remember the information that Lily had gathered. You're known as the Dragon Princess. That's why your name sounds familiar."
"Ah good, you know," Leonora said, "yes I was known as the Dragon Princess and was Captain of the Knights of the Dragon Emperor."
"We're heading to get something to eat," Kamito said, "if you're really free, you can join us."
"I would love to," Leonora said happily, "thank you Kamito."
"Great," Kamito said and then turned, "Muir, let's go."
"Onii-sama," Muir said.
Later on, Kamito, Leonora, Muir, Est, and Restia were walking and headed off. Leonora was pleased as she was walking with Kamito. Meanwhile Shuzen sighed as he was sitting in a classroom.
"It didn't go as I wanted," Shuzen said, "I can't believe that she refused me. I thought she would be all in for it."
Flashback
"I'm not interested," Velsaria said, "I have no desire to join you."
Shuzen was shocked at Velsaria's answer.
"You won't join me?" Shuzen asked, "But why?"
"I have no desire in getting involved in affairs of a noble house," Velsaria said, "My only desire is to be a Shinigami and perform my duties that are required of me. I don't want to be involved in the situation of your family."
"But why?" Shuzen asked not liking what he was hearing, "I was sure that you would be onboard on this. If you join me, we can make things better and get rid of the rot."
"I will do things my way," Velsaria said, "I'm sorry but I have no desire to get involved with you."
"Do you not realize that you are still targeted?" Shuzen asked.
"Hmm, what did you say?" Velsaria asked back.
"I know my brother tried to kill you," Shuzen said, "he's not happy that you're still alive and will try again."
"Is that right?" Velsaria replied.
"Yes and that's why it would be best if you join me," Shuzen insisted, "we can work together and put an end to my brother and my sister for that matter."
"Even if that is the case, I still will not join you," Velsaria insisted.
"What?" Shuzen replied.
"I came here to be a Shinigami to protect myself and those around me," Velsaria said, "if your brother is after my life then that is even more of an incentive to not join you. Whatever I may face, I can do it with what I am doing right now and besides, I am not alone. I have people looking out for me and who are willing to help me. I can't bring myself to just join you but what I can suggest that we can work together just as Shinigami doing our duty for the Soul Society."
"Are you serious?" Shuzen asked.
"Yes I am," Velsaria said, "the threat that I may have from your family is not my only concern. There are other matters that threaten the Soul Society and I desire to face them. That is my answer so no, I will not join you Shuzen Gensofuji in your plan to take on your family for you to actually take over as head of your clan. I have my grudge against your brother and sister for what they did and I won't let them get away with it but I will do it in a way I see fit and I don't see fit in pledging myself to you. That is all I have to say."
"You're making a mistake," Shuzen said.
"That may be how you see it but I know what I want to do," Velsaria said, "I am in my final year in this academy and preparing myself to serve in the Gotei 13. Should I be attacked by your family, I will be ready."
Flashback End
Shuzen sighed again and shook his head.
"An absolute letdown," Shuzen said.
Meanwhile Kamito, Est, Restia, Leonora, and Muir were sitting together and eating their meals.
"Hmm, so you're actually a fifth-year here," Muir said.
"Indeed I am," Leonora said, "A Shinigami recommended me to come here and train here."
"Hmm, do you know the name of the Shinigami that recommended you?" Muir asked.
"Yes, Yoshikatsu Koda," Leonora answered.
"Hmm, I see," Muir said.
"What about you Muir?" Kamito asked, "What made you decide to train to be a Shinigami?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Muir replied, "I did it to be with you Onii-sama."
"With me?" Kamito asked.
"It hasn't been the same since we separated," Muir said, "I did work with Lily and Calamity Queen for a while."
"Oh yeah, that is true," Kamito said, "Restia told me a while back."
"So you already know," Muir said and then she looked at Restia, "I see that you went and told him."
"I told Kamito everything," Restia said.
"I see," Muir said.
"If you don't mind me asking Muir," Kamito said, "and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"You can ask me anything Onii-sama," Muir replied.
"Okay, what happened to you that resulted in your death?" Kamito asked.
"I wondered when you'll ask me that," Muir said.
Muir told Kamito what happened which Kamito was surprised.
"You were killed by Rubia Elstein," Kamito said, "and it after you went after Claire?"
"Yes," Muir said.
Muir looked and saw that Kamito looked upset.
"Are you really upset that I went after the Calamity Queen's sister?" Muir asked.
"Why?" Kamito asked, "Why did you go after her? Why did you try to kill Claire?"
"Because she caused your death," Muir said, "not only that, she was bossing you around calling you a slave spirit."
"Muir, that…" Kamito spoke.
"I can't stand the very idea of someone telling you what to do," Muir said, "which is why I am confused. Onii-sama, why did you allow that brat to command you? Why did you agree to be her contracted spirit? In fact, why didn't you take her down a peg when she was acting arrogant towards you? You would have never let anyone weaker than you to boss you around."
"Muir," Kamito said and then he looked away.
"Why are you looking away?" Muir asked.
"Muir, I wish you wouldn't have done that," Kamito said.
"…You can say that Onii-sama," Muir said, "but I don't regret what I did. It's her fault that you had a miserable death. Her and that princess."
"You're wrong," Kamito replied, "Claire and Fianna didn't cause my death. Jio was the one who killed me and I was weak. I was not in my game which allowed Jio to kill me."
"Why are defending them?" Muir asked.
"It's not a question of me defending them," Kamito said, "it's me stating the facts. I don't regret what I did. I do it again. That is what I do so please Muir, don't blame Claire and Fianna for my demise. If you want to call me a fool and weak then that is fine, it's the truth."
"Onii-sama…" Muir said, "You really have changed."
Muir then had her head down and just got up and walked away.
"Muir?" Kamito spoke.
"Maybe give her some time," Leonora suggested.
"Some time?" Kamito asked.
"She may need to think about what you said," Leonora said, "I doubt she will cut herself off from you. She seems extremely loyal to you."
"I suppose so," Kamito said.
Est and Restia looked on. Meanwhile Muir was walking and thought about the conversation with Kamito. Muir sighed and stopped.
"Onii-sama," Muir said.
"You've got to be kidding me," A male voice said, "you're here as well."
Muir was surprised and she looked and saw Jio who looked surprised.
"Oh great, it's you, the trash," Muir said as she was annoyed.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Jio asked.
"Huh, can't you tell?" Muir replied, "I came here to train to be a Shinigami," Muir smiled, "doing that, I'll be able to help my Onii-sama."
"You mean Kamito," Jio replied and then he scoffed, "pathetic that you're wasting your time in that weakling. But if you really want to help someone, you should help me out. I am stronger than him after all."
"Huh, why would I waste my time helping garbage like you," Muir replied giving Jio a cold stare, "you're nothing compare to Onii-sama."
"Do you really think you can talk to me like that?" Jio replied with a smug expression, "I know you don't know this but I'm sort of a big deal around here.
"I bet Onii-sama is a bigger deal than you," Muir replied, "Onii-sama has always been better than you… better than anyone. You may have gotten lucky when you fought him before but I bet it hasn't been that way for you since then."
Jio clenched his teeth and looked away irritated and Muir smiled at Jio's reaction.
"So I was right," Muir said, "I thought so."
"Stupid girl," Jio said angrily, "you're going to regret the disrespect. I would kill you right here and now but it would just cause problems for me so consider yourself lucky. Anyway, I have things to do and don't have time for you. I'll be on my way."
Jio walked away and Muir just looked on and sneered at Jio.
"That trash just got lucky beating Onii-sama," Muir said, "he won't have that luck ever again."
Meanwhile Leonora got up from her seat and turned to Kamito.
"I'll be heading back," Leonora said, "I'll see you later Kamito."
"Sure, you too Leonora," Kamito said.
"You'll be graduating soon and I will be next year," Leonora said, "I'm curious, have you decided what division you plan to join in?"
"I have some idea," Kamito said, "it's not definite but it is most likely for me."
"I see," Leonora said, "take care."
"Yeah you too," Kamito said with a smile, "and you as well Nidhogg."
A dragon suddenly appeared and it was Nidhogg, the Elemental Spirit contracted to Leonora. Leonora smiled and turned to her partner.
"Let's go Nidhogg," Leonora said.
Nidhogg nodded in response and the two left.
"I never imagine that we have another Elementalist with us along with her contracted spirit," Restia said.
"It is surprising," Kamito said.
Flashback: Five Years Ago
It was the start for Kamito's second year in the academy. Kamito walked by and it was there that he saw Leonora. They suddenly felt something from each other and they looked each other.
"You're an Elementalist, aren't you?" Leonora asked, "It can't be true as you are a male but that is actually the case, isn't it?"
"I am," Kamito replied, "I take that you are as well."
Leonora narrowed her eyes and as she turned and faced Kamito.
"Who are you?" Leonora asked, "Are you the one known as the Demon King?"
"I've been told that," Kamito said, "I am a male Elementalist but I am not the one who brought war and chaos the world over a thousand years ago. I am Kamito Kazehaya. I was from the Ordesia Empire."
"I see," Leonora said, "I am Leonora Lancaster from the Dracunia Empire. I was Captain of the Knights of the Dragon Empire."
"Oh I see," Kamito said, "you're from Dracunia. A friend of mine told me about you."
"A friend of yours?" Leonora asked.
"Hello there," Restia said suddenly.
Leonora was surprised when she saw Restia.
"I see," Leonora said.
Flashback End
Leonora continued walking and she smiled as she was blushing thinking about Kamito.
District 71 of West Rukongai
A group of Shinigami was confronting a 13 foot Hollow that had light blue skin and stood on all fours with a long tail and the one leading the group was Yoshikatsu.
"Stand back," Yoshikatsu said, "I'll handle this."
"Wait a minute Koda," One of the male Shinigami said, "shouldn't we try to take down this Hollow together?"
"That's right," One of the female Shinigami said, "it would better our chances."
"Just stay back and watch," Yoshikatsu said with a serious expression.
Yoshikatsu charged towards the Hollow and drew his Zanpakuto. The Hollow swung its tail at Yoshikatsu but Yoshikatsu countered by slicing the tail making the Hollow scream in pain. The Hollow then proceeded to attack but all the Hollow's attacks were blocked and countered by Yoshikatsu who then injured the Hollow further cutting all over its body. Yoshikatsu then used Shunpo and reappeared and sliced the Hollow in half and caused disintegration. Yoshikatsu sighed and sheathed his sword while the other Shinigami was in awe in what they just saw.
Ordesia Empire
The empire was in ruin and there was a woman who was walking and stopped as she looked around as the world fell in darkness. The woman was a red head it was Claire who had grown for the past seven years. Claire looked on in sadness.
"Everything has gone so wrong," Claire said.
Scarlet appeared and stood next to her. There was sudden noise and Claire looked and saw several demon spirits that confronted them.
"More of them," Claire said, "Scarlet."
Scarlet took the form of the Flame Tongue and Claire held her Elemental Waffe. The demon spirits charged towards Claire who charged towards the demon spirits formed a flame spell.
Two Months Later, Seireitei, Soul Society
Muir was in her Kido class and she stood up as her classmates were sitting watching. The Kido instructor Rindo crossed his arms.
"All right Alenstral," Rindo started, "Hado or Bakudo?"
"…To be honest I would like to demonstrate both," Muir replied.
This surprised Rindo and the students in the class. Rindo pondered and then he shrugged.
"This is unprecedented… but there's no rule against it," Rindo said, "Very well, which one will you start first?"
"Bakudo," Muir said.
"Very well, you may start when you're ready," Rindo said.
"Yes," Muir then faced one of the dummies and put her right index and middle finger towards it, "Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo#61: Rikujokoro!"
Muir was able to create the six wide beams of light and slammed them in the midsection of the dummy. The other students in the class were impressed as was Rindo as he nodded.
"Impressive Alenstral," Rindo said, "okay, on to Hado."
"Of course," Muir said with confidence as she looked at a target on a pole, "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! On the wall of blue flame, inscribe a twin lotus. In the abyss of conflagration, wait at the far heavens. Hado#73: Soren Sokatsui!"
Muir generated a strong blue concentrated energy and shot the blast at the target completely destroying. Rindo was impressed and looked at Muir and the other students were in awe with what Muir did.
"Excellent Alenstral," Rindo said with a smile, "impressive indeed."
Muir bowed to the Kido instructor, "Thanks a lot."
In the Zanjutsu Training Hall,Muir was holding a bokken with just her right hand sparring with another student. Muir calmly blocked all the attacks and she moved with such a flow as she went on the attack as well. To Muir, it was no different of how she fought but the only difference that she didn't have her Jester's Vice when he fought against her enemies using Elemental Spirits. Muir created an opening and struck her opponent and her sparring partner fell on the floor hard and Muir pointed her bokken at his opponent who looked at Muir surprised. The Zanjutsu instructor Honda nodded.
"Match, Alenstral," Honda declared.
Muir just looked at her fallen opponent and stopped herself. She frowned and walked away and went to her spot.
The Next Day
At the Senkaimon Area within the academy, the first year students had gathered and Kamito along with Velsaria and Jio stood in front of the Senkaimon. They brought the attention of the first year students and they began with introductions.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves," Kamito started, "I'm Kamito Kazehaya."
"I'm Velsaria Eva Fahrengart," Velsaria introduced herself.
"Hmph, I'm Jio Inzagi," Jio said with a huff as he was looking down on the first-years.
"The three of us will be your guides for this exercise," Kamito said as he and Velsaria were annoyed with Jio's attitude.
The students were amazed and they whispered to each other and there were talks about the three sixth-years since all three of them were quite known in the academy for their high marks and talents especially with Kamito as one of the things he was known for was dealing with the threat that had occurred when he and his classmates were first-years and fought against an actual enemy. Muir was among the students and she looked on and pleased hearing people praising Kamito and felt proud.
"Now listen up," Velsaria started, "we'll split up into groups of three and get ready to go. Everyone take out the lots you drew when we assembled and then find the two students who got the same mark as you have."
The students began looking at their lots and went to find fellow students who had the same marks. The freshmen were finding each other with the same marks and then they all had formed their groups of three. Muir sighed as she was annoyed and then she was approached by a male student and female student who got the same mark that Muir had. They smiled at Muir while the one in person shifted her eyes and she looked at Kamito who noticed her and had a pleading expression to get along with her classmates. Kamito, Jio, and Velsaria saw that it was done and they all nodded.
"All right, now that everyone has found their groups, we'll brief you on today's exercise," Kamito said, "An advance party of sixth-year students have already entered the Human World and constructed a temporary barrier. Once inside that perimeter, each group will engage in combat with dummy Hollows."
"The sixth year students are here only to create a combat readied environment for you," Velsaria explained, "they will not assist in the combat itself. Is everyone clear on everything we've just said?" Velsaria saw the freshmen that they understood and then she as well as Kamito and Jio turned to face the Senkaimon, "Good, then let's go."
"Yes ma'am!" The freshmen said in unison.
"Open!" Kamito said.
The Senkaimon opened up and the students of the Shin'o Academy entered in the Senkaimon and went to the Human World.
That's it for this chapter. Next chapter: Graduation and entering the Gotei 13.
