Chapter 19: Kidnapped!
The rest of the day went well, they played on the beach and had dinner… however there was an argument during dinner.
"We are not having wine!" yelled Kyon.
"Come on Kyon don't be a stick in the mud!" said Haruhi.
"What about my sister!" clamed down Kyon.
Haruhi sighed, "Fine… I won't drink any alcohol." Said Haruhi, even though she knew that his sister probably has seen worse than a teenager drink alcohol.
"Can I switch seats with someone?" asked Ulrich who was sitting next to Yuki who was eating like there was no tomorrow.
"She's not stealing from your plate." Said Kyon.
"Yeah… but it's really, really weird." Said Ulrich.
Everyone laughed at this of course.
After dinner they all went to the beach to have some fun with fireworks! It was really fun.
Little did they knew someone was watching them.
"So… having your fun right now… but it will soon stop…" said the person watching them.
The figure then disappeared…
The next day… Haru stared at the window. Why? Because there was a storm raging outside.
"Why did this happened?" asked with a sigh.
The island was engulfed by a Typhoon… making sure this weekend wouldn't be much fun in the sun.
"It's too bad we didn't know this typhoon was coming… if we had we would have discussed doing a murder mystery plot." Laughed Keiichi.
This only made Haruhi more depressed.
"You do know we have a game room in the basement." Said Yutaka.
"Really?" asked Haruhi cheering right up.
They went to the game room in the basement and began top lay games. It was actually very fun.
"I win"! said Haruhi after a game of mahjong.
They also learned the dark secret of Ulrich… he was a Pool Hustler!
"Thanks for them money." Said Ulrich holding a wad bills from… hustling pool.
"Where did you learn that?" asked Haruhi.
"I'd rather not say…" said Ulrich.
"Does it involve a relative from your mom's side that as a pool hustler and taught you how to do it?" asked Haruhi.
"Um… maybe…" said Ulrich shifting his eyes, "Not like a distant relative who is still alive but I don't care much for…"
"I don't want to play anymore." Said Mikuru.
"Me neither." Said Haruhi.
Ulrich sighed… at least he finally used his pool hustling skills.
As they day went on, they had fun indoors… but the next day it was still raining… As Mikuru woke up she stretched.
"Good morning Masaki." She said.
She found the bed was empty, he saw the note which made her scream.
Someone tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Mikuru… open the door! We need to know what's wrong." Came Kyon's voice on the other side of the door.
Mikuru opened the door and everyone from the S.O.S. Brigade and the Back Up Brigade came in.
"Where's Masaki?" asked Kyon.
Mikuru handed the note.
"Dear S.O.S. Brigade, I have taken the girl… I am somewhere in the mansion still… I will do something to her if you do not save her in time… from Lillian Nomoney"
"They have Masaki." Muttered Kyon.
"I can't believe it…" said Haruhi, "We have to get her back."
Everyone met in the dinning room, it was silent.
"I can't believe it!" yelled Kon, "You know who's going to get in trouble for this! Me! Me! I'm the one who supposed to be watching her!"
Kyon threw him into the wall.
"It just says going to do something to her…" said Kyon, "It doesn't mean kill her."
"All right!" yelled Haruhi taking charge, "Me, Kyon, Ulrich and Yuki will be one time, Itsuki, Mikuru and Emiri with make second team… and you all who live or work here will form the last team."
"What if they find Masaki first?" whispered Kyon to Haruhi, "They no nothing about fighting Hollows."
"Don't worry about it." Said Haruhi, "I'm sure they're be fine."
Everyone split up and went to look for the girl.
"Wait for me!" yelled Kon getting up team up with Mikuru's team (since they lacked a member… yeah… that's it because they lacked a member…)
Meanwhile in the hiding place which was a very large pantry (which was a place none of them looked), Kyon's sister woke up.
"So your finally awake." Said a voice.
She looked up and saw an Arrancar with short dark pink hair her mask fragment looked to be a tiara on her forehead, she smiled, "You had to be awake for it work."
"For what to work?" asked Kyon's sister.
"This." She said.
She touched Kyon's sister's forehead… causing her to scream in pain that was heard thought out the mansion.
In one of the hallways, with Haruhi's group.
"Masaki!" yelled Kyon.
He popped a Soul Candy in his mouth while Ulrich left his body.
"Chappy take Ulrich's body back to our room." Said Kyon.
"Right! Hop!" said Kyon's body.
"Kyon… why is it they keep saying "hop"?" asked Ulrich.
"Ask Yachiru." Sighed Kyon.
They ran towards where they heard the scream.
Back in the pantry, the Arrancar searched for what she was looking for.
"There it is… what I wanted to find…" she thought with an evil smirk.
"What are you doing!" yelled a voice.
The Arrancar turned to see the S.O.S. Brigade and the two Back Up Brigade Members… who had reunited on their way there. She had stopped what she was doing which rendered Kyon's sister unconscious.
"Well, well what do we have here… the son of a Captain and a Lieutenant, the reincarnation of what her face, some guy with weird powers, a girl who can barely do Kido, two weird aliens and the reincarnation of former 4th Espada." Said the Arrancar, "Oh and a stupid stuffed toy.,"
"Who are you calling stupid?" asked Kon.
"Who are you?" asked Kyon.
"As my letter said, I'm Lillian Nomoney… I'm the 9th Espada." Said the Arrancar named Lillian showing her right palm with the 9 on it, "Or am I the 6th…" she turned her palm upwards, with her fingers downward.
"You're the 9th…" said Ulrich.
"So what if I am…" said Lillian, she picked up Kyon's sister and tossed her at Haruhi who managed to catch her, "You found me you can have her back."
"You're just going to give her back?" asked Kyon.
"She already served my purpose." Said Lillian, "However that doesn't mean I won't fight you."
"Haruhi! Mikuru! Get Masaki out of here. We'll handle it." Said Kyon.
"Okay…" said Haruhi.
Mikuru nodded…
"You're not leaving." Said Lillian charging up a light yellow Cero, he aimed it for Haruhi and Kyon's sister.
Emiri did one of her incantations the Cero hit an invisible wall.
"Come on let's go." Said Haruhi.
Mikuru nodded and followed her out of the pantry.
"No way am I getting involved in this!" yelled Kon following them out of the pantry
"Well, it looks like you got the weaklings out of the way…" said Lillian, "But there's one I still need to get rid of."
She withdrew her Zanpakuto. And disappeared, reappearing in front of Kyon and stabbing him in the gut.
"Kyon!" yelled Itsuki.
She removed the blade and Kyon collapsed.
"Well that's another part of my mission." Said Lillian with an evil smirk.
Itsuki created one of his balls while Ulrich narrowed his eyes and brought out his Zanpakuto… neither Yuki or Emiri did nothing.
That was when suddenly paper doors appeared in thin air.
"What's going on?" asked Itsuki.
"Damn it…" growled Lillian.
In the kitchen, Haruhi was using her healing shield.
"Nothing seems to happening." Said Haruhi.
She stopped it…
"What happened?" asked Haruhi.
"It must have effected her mind." Said Shuno.
"Her mind?" asked Mikuru.
"Whatever that Arrancar did hurt neither her body nor soul but her mind… That is something we can not heal." Said Shuno.
"Will she wake up?" asked Haruhi.
"I am sure she will." Said Shuno.
"What's going on?" asked a voice.
They saw Ms. Mori along with Arakawa, Yutaka and Keiichi.
"The Arrancar is attacking in the pantry." Said Haruhi.
"I see." Said Ms. Mori .
"We should wait it out…" said Yutaka, "We don't have much experience with Hollows."
The other three nodded.
Back inside the pantry, the doors opened. Out came Karin, Toshiro and Byakuya.
"Sorry we're late…" said Karin.
"It's fine." Said Itsuki breathing a sigh of relief.
"Three Captains? Really?" asked Lillian.
"It's precaution." Said Toshiro, "That more than one Captain report to where an Espada is attacking."
"I see…" said Lillian, she created a Garganta which she jumped in, "I got what I needed, so it doesn't matter."
She disappeared though the gate that closed.
"We need to get him to Haruhi." Said Ulrich.
Elsewhere Kyon opened his, he found himself at a beautiful beach.
"There you are." Said a voice.
Kyon turned around, and saw a blue haired girl, with a pink flower in her hair, she was wearing a strange thing… was it was best descried that looked like some sort of water lace thing.
"Who are you." Said Kyon.
"My name is…" said the girl.
"I couldn't hear that." Said Kyon who realized, "You're my Zanpakuto… aren't you."
"That's right." Said the girl, "I will tell you this… sometimes people get their Zanpakutos because of their parents…"
"I know that… " said Kyon, "Dad and Grandpa have the same attacks."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Said his Zanpakuto spirit, "You'll find out eventually"
That was when Kyon woke up from his inner world. He saw Haruhi, Mikuru and Toshiro sitting above him while Haruhi healed him.
"You're okay…" sniffled Mikuru.
"I told you he'd fine…" pouted Haruhi.
Haruhi removed the barrier.
"It's good your awake." Said Haruhi, "Everyone was worried. Oh yeah, your sister's okay… she's perfectly fine even after what happened."
"That's good." Sighed Kyon, "Toshiro what are you doing here."
"Myself, Captain Kuchiki and Captain Karin Kurosaki came here to help fight the Espada. We stayed to make sure that you and Masaki are all right." Explained Toshiro.
"They sent Aunt Karin and Uncle Byakuya at the same time?" asked Kyon.
"That is why I came to watch over you." Said Toshiro.
Kyon face palmed, "Can you tell them that I need rest." Said Kyon.
Toshiro smirked, "You really think I'm going into that room." Said Toshiro.
"No…" sighed Kyon.
"Is something going on in the other room?" asked Haruhi.
"They're fighting about me." Mumbled Kyon.
Inside the other room, Karin had introduced Byakuya the members of the S.O.S. Brigade and the Back Up Brigade.
"Kaien should have been able to dodge the Arrancar's attack." Said Byakuya calmly while sipping tea.
"For the last time, he isn't his father, if anything he's more like Rukia." Mumbled Karin, "Besides he's still new to being a Soul Reaper… remember Rukia learned at much slower pace than Ichigo."
"I was the one who told you that." Calmly said Byakuya.
"And yet you seem to hole Kaien in Ichigo's standards." Said Karin.
Everyone in the room couldn't help but to stare at the two.
"Aunt Karin!" came a voice.
Kyon's sister ran into the room and gave Karin a hug.
"Hey kiddo, are you okay?" asked Karin.
"I'm fine… I don't remember what the woman did to me." Answered Kyon's sister.
"Hello Masaki." Said Byakuya.
"Hi Uncle Byakuya." Said Masaki in a bored tone.
Karin couldn't help but to laugh.
At that time, Kyon, Haruhi, Mikuru and Toshiro came into the room.
"So good your all healed up." Said Karin.
"Yeah…" sighed Kyon.
They knew they had to eventually come in... and came in at the right time.
"We need to talk about the details." Said Byakuya.
They all sat around the table…
"Due to what happened we decided if one of stays with you until you go to the Soul Society." Explained Byakuya.
"Who?" asked Haruhi.
"Myself." Said Karin, "Since I was born in the world of the living."
"That's great!" said Kyon's sister.
"I would have but I am preparing for Kaien's training." Said Byakuya.
"You're going to train me?" asked Kyon.
"Hey… you not the only one who had one on one training sessions." Said Karin.
"I am aware of that." Said Byakuya, "However I need a lot of preparation in this."
Kyon sighed, "I really don't want to know what it is…" he thought, "Hopefully it isn't as bad as I think it is."
"Kyon it is impolite to say your thoughts." Said Byakuya.
Kyon groaned… he really had to break that habit.
Afterwards, the two male captains left while Karin stayed behind (in a Gigai that was delivered to here when the two left). Karin was actually a good person to have around at the vacation as she was what Kyon's sister called the "Fun Aunt" the one that was playful and fun to be around as opposed to aunt Yuzu "the doting aunt" who would always lavish attention and give them treats… oh gave Kyon his nickname. Of course both were better than Byakuya the "extremely stiff" uncle.
"So how are you related to Captain Kuchiki?" asked Itsuki.
"He's my mother adoptive brother." Said Kyon, not wanting to delve into his mother complicated history.
"I see." Said Itsuki.
Eventually the weather let up but it was time to go. As they left the island, Kyon sighed.
"Still worried about your parents are going to say?" asked Karin.
"Yeah…" said Kyon.
"I know your father was able to take down Espada at your age but when he your age Ichigo was only slightly weaker than he is now." Said Karin.
"I know…" said Kyon.
"You haven't even obtained Shikai yet, you aren't your father…" said Karin, "Go at your own pace, the other two that have dibs training you agree with me."
"Hey! Kyon! Have you seen Kon." Said Kyon's sister interrupting them.
"No… I haven't… why?" asked Kyon.
"I can't seem to find him." Said Masaki.
Back at the island.
"They left me." Cried Kon.
"There, there… I'm sure it wasn't on purpose." Said Keiichi, "We're get you back to them as soon we can…"
"But they still left me!" cried Kon.
And so the S.O.S. Brigade had their first fight with an Arrancar… however one thing was known… Kyon needed to train hard in order to stand a chance next time faced one.
Next Time: It's time for the training trip to the Soul Society. Kyon begins his training under the tutelage of four captains... while avoiding a 5th. Meanwhile Yachiru shows the other girls what do to do when they are bored... spy on Byakuya of course. What will happen, find out next time!
