"We have to do stuff to prevent the ones we love from dying...and have some fun,"-Yukina to Aizen.
Chapter four:
I flew through the sky quickly as I heard the restraints on the Sōkyoku. I knew I had to hurry to give Ichigo time to get there. I felt a deep sense of regret as I flew towards the hill. I wanted to help Gin, but I had to save my cousin's friend. I closed my eyes before opening them as I saw the phoenix that was the Sokyoku and felt joy fill me. It was FAWKES! I flew closer and just as he was about to strike I dove in between them while shifting mid air. I kept myself up with my Reiatsu and held him back from striking the girl. I used a barrier to keep him at bay causing him to stare at me in shock. I breath in deeply as I spoke to him through my mind, "Hello my dear phoenix. It has been a long time."
"Nychta!" He cried causing a smile to twitch onto my lips, "You're here!"
"I'm here to save the girl my dear," I say before casting a glance at the girl who stared at me in shock, "Rukia you really got yourself into deep shit you know,"
"Why are you here?!" She cried out in shock causing me to shake my head.
"I'm here because of Ichigo," I reply with a mild grin, "He wants to save you so I'm helpin you out,"
"I thought you didn't really like me," She said causing me to chuckle.
"I didn't really care about you when we first met and to tell you the truth you've pissed me off," I say with a glare towards her causing her to flinch slightly, "But because you're important to Ichigo, I am helping out,"
"How am I important to him?" She asked in confusion, "I've only known him for a few months,"
"Don't you know that it doesn't matter how long you've known a person, all that matters is the fact you become a friend?" I ask causing her to shake her head, "I swear you remind me of one of my friends. I only knew her a few short months and saved her from a beast," I smile at the reminder of Hermione, "She asked me the same question and I replied that I didn't really know...that in the short time I've known her that I wanted to protect her. She became important to me and because of that I know that your important to Ichigo," I sighed lightly before looking at the phoenix, "You've done what I've barely been able to do...what his sister were barely unable to do...what my uncle couldn't do...you've made him smile,"
"Why does making him smile matter?" She asked in confusion.
"You know how my mom and his mom died right?" I ask causing her to nod, "I was able to see and hear spirits at that time because a few months before I had unlocked my spiritual power due to memories of my past life," A frown appeared on my face, "I slowly began to gain more powers and my mother put me under Yuroichi's teaching, but I digress. I spoke to his mom and made a promise to her. A promise that I would get him to smile,"
"So the reason your here is because..." She trailed off.
"You help me fulfil that promise by just living and being his friend," I look towards her once more, "I will be kicking your ass, but it can wait until later," I then look at the shield I had thrown up and noticed the cracks that were beginning to form, "I hope Ichigo hurries up. I don't know how long I can hold him back,"
"Hold who back?" Rukia asked causing me to glance at her with a raised eyebrow, "The only thing I see is the Sōkyoku,"
"The Sokyoku is a male Rukia," I reply causing her to stare at me incredulously, "I have the power to see the Zanpakuto spirits of anyone I come across as well as tell their gender. I can even see their names if I want to, but I do not do it often unless I have permission,"
"How the hell do you have that power?" She asked causing a chuckle to escape my lips.
"That's for me to know and you to find out," I answer with a small grin before looking back at the shield as the cracks grow large, "Shit. Ichigo better hurry up-"
"I'm already here," Came the voice of my cousin, "Rukia are you okay?"
"Idiot why the hell did you come here?!" She shouted causing me to facepalm since I had already told her, "You can't defeat my brother! Just leave!"
Fawkes reared back causing more cracks to appear. I curse loudly as the two argue. I shout, "Idiots! Ichigo get her onto the ground. I can't keep him back for much longer!"
Ichigo nodded and quickly released her before jumping to the ground. I began to release the energy keeping me up only to feel my shield break as Fawkes slammed into it. I let out a gasp as gasps and shouts echoed below us. Time seemed to slow down as I stared into the molten gold eyes of one my friends. He spoke in the same gentle voice as he always did, "We do not have much time Nychta."
"I know," I reply with a shake of my head, "I suppose you have to kill me,"
"I wouldn't have to if we created a bond," He replied causing my eyes to widen, "The bond is known as the summoner bond. I would be able to rest in your inner world or in the outside world. You could summon me to your side at any time,"
"How?" I ask since I could tell he didn't want to do this stuff anymore.
"Leave it to me," He replied and I nodded.
Time sped up again as I faced him fully. I closed my eyes as I felt the heat of his flames reach me. The cries of those below became nothing as the flames surrounded me. I felt pain in my right arm, but other than that I felt nothing. I let out a gasp as I felt my reiatsu waver and my body begin to descend. I felt as my body hit the ground, but not much more as the pain in my arm shouted at me. I heard my name being called and felt someone lift me up, but I couldn't concentrate. I saw Ichigo's worried face and then I knew no more.
Small time skip
I let out a groan as I came to. I smelt the harsh scent of antiseptic before I opened my eyes. To my relief, the lights were dimmed down so as to allow the sunlight outside to stretch in. I slowly sat up and looked around as I yawned. I found Bah sitting on a seat close to the bed before I looked at my arm. It was bandaged thickly even though it didn't hurt anymore. I reach down with my left hand to unwind the bandages when I heard the door open. I look at my Zanpakuto and judged the distance it would take to get it only to find I didn't have to worry. The door opened to reveal Isane Kotetsu or as I knew her Hannah Abbot. She smiled upon seeing me up and said, "Hello Nyc. You had us worried for a little while."
"Hannah?" I ask to clarify and see if it truly is her.
To my relief she nodded and replied, "Yeah it's good to see you as well Nyc," She walked over to me, "I'm going to be checking under your bandage."
"Who else is here?" I ask.
"Hermione is the lieutenant under captain Shunsui Kyoraku," She answered causing me to nod, "Susan is working as a member of the second division under captain Soi-feng," I chuckle at that, "I wouldn't laugh because she's strong now,"
"I have no doubt since I was taught by my aunt since I was about 7 years old," I say before looking out the window as she unbandaged my arm, "It will help us when we go back,"
"Go back?" she asked as she paused in her task, "What do you mean 'go back'?"
"I used the spell we found," I say causing her to curse, "I made my wish, but the spirits told me that the only way to end it was to prevent it,"
"So we have to go back in order to stop it from turning out the way it did?" She asked causing me to nod, "Damn this will be fun,"
"It won't be too bad since we'll be all together and stop it from happening," I try to reassure her, "You'll be able to some much more with Susan and I'll be with Gin-"
"Nyc Gin is a Traitor!" she cut me off causing me to stare at her in surprise, "Aizen, Kaname, and Gin left the Society as Traitors-"
"Hannah Malica Abbot-Bones!" I growl as I glare at her causing her to flinch, "They are not traitors! What they're doing is good-"
"What do you mean?" She asked causing me to sigh.
"I won't tell you anything other than I will be helping because they're going to take out the source of all of the idiocy in the world," I reply causing her to stare at me.
"I can't tell anyone can I?" She asked causing me to shake my head, "It's just like last time isn't it?" I nod again, "Fine I'll keep quiet, but you have to make me those sweet berry cakes you used to make," I nodded as she smiled and looked down at my before gasping
I look down at my arm to see that it was undamaged. The only mark upon it to show the events that had transpired was that of a flaming phoenix. The phoenix took up a good portion of my arm. The phoenix seemed to be flying and to my surprise it...no he moved a little. Fawkes molten gold eyes stared at us and I murmured, "Well shit."
"Nyc...is the Sōkyoku Fawkes?" She asked in awe causing me to nod, "Damn..."
I shook my head after a few minutes and asked, "Can I leave?"
She stared at me for a few moments before nodding, "Yes, but please don't do anything too strenuous."
I nod in agreement as I stood up. I waved goodbye before grabbing Bah and placing him on my waist. I shift into my wolf/kitsune from and jump out of the window and onto the tree outside. I head straight to where I could feel Ichigo's spiritual pressure. I smile softly upon seeing him fighting with a soul reaper. He was happy. I shook my head in amusement as he ran off when the shark-like captain tried to fight him. I chuckled softly as I followed him. I chuckled as he talked with Renji. I followed Ichigo around for a little before heading towards where I felt Aunt Yuro's spiritual pressure. I found her sitting with a group of captains. I froze for a few moments before sighing and drawing closer. She stopped mid sentence before looking towards me, "You should be resting Nychta."
I sighed and appeared next to her causing most of the captains to jump. I looked to see it was captain Ukitake, Shunsui, Soi-feng, Unohana, and Hitsugaya. I rolled my eyes and said, "You know I can't relax waking up most of the time...especially after something like that happening."
"How are you feeling?" She asked causing me to shrug.
"I feel...weird...I guess," I answer after a few moments before looking at the gathered captains, "Greetings,"
"So you're Yukina's daughter?" Ukitake asked causing me to nod, "How did you give us those animal ears? She was never able to do that,"
"Eh," I shrug with a small smirk, "I used a potion I made myself. It took a while to get the combination correct, but it worked. The effects are completely random though most of the time they fit the personality of the consumer,"
"So that's why Ichigo had cat panther ears for a month," Aunt Yuro said causing me to wince.
"He was my prime target after taking my chocolate," I retort and look away from her.
"Always so serious when it comes to chocolate," She commented.
"Chocolate is the food of the gods!" I growl.
"Milk is much better," She retorted.
"No milk sucks," I replied with my nose in the air, "Chocolate taste divine,"
"Milk at least helps you grow," She pointed out causing me to snort.
"That may be, but it tastes weird," I reply.
"That's why you're so short!" She exclaimed causing me to growl.
"I'd rather be short than have back problems because my boobs weigh my front down," I retort causing many choked gasps.
She pouted and poked me in my furry chest, "But if you stay in animal form it isn't that bad."
"I don't want to be stuck on all fours like someone," I reply with a small smirk, "Especially since I don't have anyone keeping me like that in either form,"
I saw her jaw drop as most stare between us with their jaws on the ground, "H-how?"
"The walls are thin Aunty," I say before looking at the faces of the captains, "I think we killed them,"
She blinked before looking at the captains and shrugging. I stood up and headed to the execution hill. I soon sat down and stared at the sky as it darkened. We're heading back tomorrow...What's going to happen when we get there? Not only that...when will I see you again Gin? And get to stay with you?
