Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter 5 of "Bleach: Lions Soul" sorry this took so long I was having a hard time with the writing of this chapter, it didn't really feel right to me so I kept rewriting it till it did.

I got some news at the end of the chapter involving the Harem so I'll just stop talking and let you guys enjoy the chapter.

Bleach: Lion's Soul

-Some Store in Town-

"Are you positive it was him, Kisuke?" A dark-skinned woman asked the blonde man from before, revealing his name to be Kisuke.

She had long purple hair in a pony tail and a body that would make men praise the ground she walked on… which did happen on occasion. She got a nice meal out of it, then disappeared, and left him with the check.

"Unnatural Spiritual pressure and sudden increase of heat in the area yeah it's him, I'd recognize it anywhere." Kisuke said taking a sip of tea before rubbing his eyes. He failed to get any sleep last night due to the presence he felt because he knew without a doubt… that it was Kiba's.

Kiba always did have a strange Spiritual pressure. It was always… inconsistent, it was like something was always holding it back, the power is there but it was like he couldn't access it all. What's stranger is how his Spiritual Pressure is in combat, if he's targeting a person or even groups a people it's like he's… not even there. You can't sense him and for some reason, you can't see him most pf the time, all you feel is the feeling of being hunted, and when you do sense him you only have a small window of time to act. Of course, he knew why. In fact, anyone who was a captain at least 100 years ago with a few exceptions would know why.

Sighing Kisuke took another sip of his tea. The last time he saw Kiba wasn't exactly how one would like to remember seeing a friend, but then again Kiba probably doesn't consider him a friend at this point. Thinking about this caused him to sigh remembering how things used to be.

-Flashback-

A younger version of Kisuke and Kiba were sitting in a dark room with Kiba laying down shirtless on a table and Kisuke looking over him with some kind of tool.

Kisuke wore a standard Soul Reaper uniform and had a clean face instead of stubble like he does now, other than that he looked the same. Kiba looked like he did when he met Kenpachi albeit his features being a bit softer, however, there was one thing that was noticeably different… his eyes were beast like.

They looked the same as when he fought Kenpachi. his irises were gold and his pupils were slit, another strange factor about him was that his teeth were sharper and he was gritting them in slight pain.

"it would have been better if you went to Yoruichi about this," Kisuke said as he straightened up looking at the screen on the tool.

"I didn't want to bother her," Kiba said with his voice strained. "besides you know enough about this stuff to be helpful."

"Oh, so you don't want to bother HER with this, but it alright to bother me with it?" Kisuke asked in a joking way.

"Meh, gotta make use of you somehow." Kiba replied bluntly but Kisuke knew he was just joking around… mostly.

Kisuke was smirking but then let out a sigh. "In all seriousness, there isn't much I can do," Kisuke said putting a hand on Kiba's chest. "all I can do is suppress your Spiritual Pressure a bit, the rest is you trying to rein it in."

Kisuke's hand began to glow which in turn caused Kiba's body to glow as well. After a bit Kiba stopped gritting his teeth and started to relax a bit, however his eyes and teeth remained the same. Moving his hand to rub his eyes it could be seen that his nails were sharp and had grown slightly.

"Grr!" Kiba had his eyes clenched shut and began gritting his teeth again as his hands tensed up. His body had begun to give off a small gold glow, however, Kiba began to shake like he was struggling with something then over so slowly his nails and teeth began to return to normal.

After a moment the glow died down and he stopped gritting his teeth, while his breath was slightly labored, he was more or less relaxed. He proceeded to sit up and lower his hand to his lap before opening his eyes revealing them to be back to their blue color and his pupils to have returned to normal.

"It's getting more and more difficult to rein in." Kiba said after a few breaths.

"Kiba," Kisuke said gaining Kiba's attention. "you shouldn't be holding it all in like that."

"I don't need a lecture, Kisuke." Kiba said turning away.

"I think you do." Kisuke said putting a hand on Kiba's shoulder. "There isn't anything wrong with what you ar-."

"Then why are they dead?" Kiba asked with no emotion causing Kisuke to tense. "What, no words of encouragement now?"

Kisuke had nothing to say, he just looked off to the side however he looked slightly pale and like he was going to throw up. Noticing this Kiba let out a sigh before speaking to him albeit quietly.

"If it means anything, I've been thinking about… telling Lisa about it." Realizing what Kiba was trying to do Kisuke went along with it.

"I'm glad, it's only fair that she knows." Kisuke said with a smile, his face still slightly pale. Kiba's words still rang in his mind again making Kisuke take a deep breath before patted Kiba's shoulder making him face him.

"Listen, I know that I can't say anything to make what happened that night better, and I'm not even going to try and make it something it's not. But… well… can't speak for everyone but at the very least Yoruichi and I… we won't ever abandon you, that a promise.

Kiba stared at him for a bit with no emotion, but then let a warm smile work its way on his face. "Thank you… Brother."

-Present-

But now those days are gone, and there's no way to get them back. Not after wat happened, not after that Bastard.

"Kisuke!" Yoruichi's voice brought him.

"Huh?"

"I said, do you have a plan in case he finds this place?" Yoruichi asked imagining Kisuke to have thought of something just in case.

Kisuke, however, put his cup down and simply said. "This place was made to hide from Soul Reapers, not Lions."

That didn't ease her mind.

OK, so yeah it's a bit short but this chapter was a hard one because I wasn't sure what I should have done first. There are many things I wanted to do for this prologue and Kiba's vacation was the gateway to all of them.

They are some things a need to set up for the main story but I wasn't sure which to start with so I decided to elaborate on Kiba and Kisuke's relationship.

Now onto what I was talking about at the top. Ok, so the harem… I'm not sure what to do anymore I had gotten a few PM's for members but like I said I not sure on how many I will use and now I'm not sure if I should keep the Harem at its current limit or not. So, here's what I'm going to do… leave it up to all of you.

I making a poll for you guys to decide on the number for the harem. It will be posted on my profile so just take a peak and vote depending on what you guys choose will depend on the harem status. Meaning let's say you guys pick for the harem to be 5 girls instead of 4, then I already know who I'm going to pick for the fifth girl… I'm not telling you guys until the end of the poll though.

Ok, so rules. 1) No guest votes, I will not count it if you're a guest mostly because they can all be from one person. 2) no matter what once the poll is closed the number for the Harem will not change, it won't get bigger nor will it get smaller. 3) you have until the end of the Prolugue to vote.

Well, that's pretty much it, I hope you guys enjoyed this if you did please leave a review or PM me. Cya next time. ~
