So this chapter is going to be primarily set in First Person Point of View, with Rayne being set in the human world, which means he will be having some interaction with the Karakura High School students, as well as Urahara and Yoruichi.
I saw that there was a request as to how Rayne's last name was pronounced, so I'm gonna try and guess.
There are a few different ways as to how to pronounce, but I've been saying it like Meekt-lahn-te-koot-ly, and that is the English annunciation.
I am taking this chapter to say that I do not own Bleach, I merely own Rayne and the OCs I put in the story.
I woke up before the sun today, which was odd because I have never done that, perhaps it was due to the mission I was given by Soutaichou Yamamoto to go into the human world. I was also surprised to hear that he never really thought Urahara and Yoruichi were traitors, but he could not figure out as to why he banished them from Soul Society all those years ago. I started out to the training grounds to practice some low-level kido Unohana-taichou taught me, but I was surprised at the fact I was able to catch on so quickly and eventually did not require the incantations after an hour or two. So the one I'm trying to work on now is Hado #62, Hyapporankan (Hundred Steps Fence), and I am so close to getting it down without the need of incantation.
"My My, Rayne, you really amaze me, a level 62 Hado without trouble.. A specimen like you could be very interesting to study when alive, or dead.." The cackling voice of Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Taichou of 12th Division and the head of the research and development department came from a few feet to my right and I turned quickly. Even though it was illegal to draw your sword on a Captain, I never did trust the mad scientist, I had already heard of his experiments and the lengths he normally went to in order to get what he wanted, Hell I heard he also experiments on his own daughter.
"Ah, Kurotsuchi-Taichou, to what to I owe this pleasure?" I asked sternly, but not in a way that would force him to want to attack me.
"Just merely studying your progress, Rayne, and asking for a experiment session before you leave for the human world, completely harmless I assure you." He cracked a smile that nearly split the crazy bastard's face in half. I don't know why, but this one seemed more forced, as if he really had no intentions on doing me any bodily harm, but it isn't like I can't take him. I brought the Soutaichou to one knee without need of Shikai, however this information was only between myself, the Soutaichou himself, and Kyoraku-Taichou.
I pondered his request and eventually finished my training, I decided I would go to 12th Division before I left for the Human World. I then walked to Kenpachi Zaraki's Division, as I promised Madarame Ikaku, 11th Division's 4th seat, a sparring match yesterday and I knew he would be awake around this time.
I walked into the division and the first thing I saw was indeed Madarame Ikaku, but he was getting teased by their Lieutenant, Yachiru. He was currently chasing her around because she had his Zanpaktou and was jumping from rooftop to rooftop with him slightly lagging behind a few steps. I knew he wasn't that fast, but the fact the little girl was keeping such a far distance from him astounded me greatly.
"Dammit Ikaku, I thought you wanted to spar, not play tag with your superiors!" I teased at him, causing him to lose focus and fall into one of the gaps between the buildings. He got up and dusted himself off, glaring at me coldly, which just made me chuckle as I helped him up. After another few minutes, and the bribery of sweets, Ikaku got his Zanpaktou back and we sparred, with me holding back of course.
Eventually everything went well, Mayuri gave me some new Shihakushou that was simply inverted and less loose-fitting than my original. He told me in will suppress my Reiatsu easier, and it is easier to move around in as apposed to the one I had on before. He gave me a few poisons as well so I could earn my new clothing, though I didn't mind, I am merely to use the poisons given to me and record the results. I was eventually escorted by Kyoraku and Nanao to a Senkaimon. I was transported into the human world, just a couple hundred yards from where I could feel three large Reiatsu levels, which I assumed were Urahara, Yoruichi, and a man named Tessai, who were all former Captains. I heard plenty of Yoruichi and Urahara so I knew who I would be dealing with, but Tessai I heard very little about, other than his kido techniques were stronger than even Unohana, which is kind of scary to me.
Ah, well I guess I should go speak with them, after all, I have been told they are not hostile unless provoked. I ended up hearing the screech of some little girls and Shunpo'd immediately in that direction, only to find a large, fish looking hollow, who was currently holding two small children in his hand.
"Put the children down, you damn hollow, and fight a real opponent!" I shouted as I revealed my two blades at my sides, this somehow caused the hollow to laugh maniacally.
"HAHA, you Shinigami are all the same! Thinking you are all this and that, but you are nothing but mere trash compared to me, the almighty Grand Fisher! Wait, your clothing is different.. Are you one of Aizen's Espada? Ah to hell with it, you still have weak reiatsu, but if I devour you it could prove to be well worth letting these runts scurry off!" The hollow, known as Grand Fisher to me now, shouted with arrogance in his voice. Though I couldn't blame him, he couldn't detect the small reiatsu I was emitting until I started letting some out that made him immediately drop his hostages and down to one knee as he started gasping for breath.
"Who...What...Are Y...You? Shi...nigami..." The Grand Fisher asked as I got closer to him, holding one of my blades to his neck as I saw his entire body shaking with fear. I felt something inside start to burn up and my head began to hurt, but I kept my focus and concentrated on the Grand Fisher.
"I am Rayne Mictlantecuhtli, Third seat of the Eighth Division in the Gotei 13 court squads, and I am who is going to be ending your life right now." I stated as I shoved the blade through his mask and out the other side, and then my head began to pound as it felt like someone was trying to break through a wall with all their force, and the wall was my head. I don't know why, but I heard cackling that was even more mischievous than Mayuri's own in the back of my head, and I didn't recognize it.
G..Grim..Wha...What's going on? Are..y..you alright? I asked my Zanpaktou spirit as I let my reiatsu decrease until nearly depleting, and I reached and held my hand to my pounding skull. I heard no answer. I wonder why he didn't answer, I tried to relax and allow myself to enter my inner world, but it was completely useless as if I was kicked out.
"I need to get to Urahara.." I said lightly to myself as I Shunpo'd off into his direction, arriving only a second later. I was greeted by two small kids, one boy and one girl, and they looked directly at me.
"Can they see me?" I asked to no one in particular, but they both nodded and the little girl walked inside, returning later with a man clad in green, who I presumed was Kiskue Urahara. I didn't know much about him, other than the fact he was the previous 12th division captain and the former head of the research and development department, and the man was a real genius, but right now he had a goofy smile on his face and he was holding a cane in his right hand, and a fan in his left. He had green and white- striped bucket hat that sat atop his head, and his eyes had a weird twinkle to them, similar to a child's that had just saw a large pile of sweets, and it was unsettling to say the least.
"Ah, and who might you be? A Shinigami clearly with a different set of clothing to look similar to the enemy, but I guess the real question would be what business do you have here?" He asked in a very cheery tone, as a much larger, much darker man came out behind him, who I guessed was Tessai. I didn't know very much about him, other than he was in charge of the Kido Corps, so I am guessing he must be at captain-level strength.
"I am Rayne Mictlantecuhtli, Third seat of Eight's Division Kyoraku Shunsui. I know who you are, Urahara Kiskue, former 12th Division Taichou and former head of the Research and Development department." I said, going on one knee in front of the group, which caused Urahara to smirk.
"My my, no formalities please, Rayne was it? Just all me Urahara, or as the locals call me, Mr. Hat-N-Clogs, and this is Tessai, Jinta, and Ururu. I'm not sure where Yoruichi is, but she must be around somewhere." Urahara looked around the immediate area, and as if on cue I felt a presence right behind me, gently stroking my hair. I turned and held my right blade outward, but I saw nothing as a light weight sat on my shoulders.
"Woah, quick one, ne? Hopefully that isn't the best you can do." A female voice rang sensually in my right ear, causing me to shiver slightly before I slashed at the, now disappeared, weight on top of me. I then saw a very beautiful women standing in front of me a few feet away, her right hand on her hip and the other hanging down her side. I already knew who this woman was in front of me, but I ended up blurting out..
"You are Yoruichi Shihoin, former stealth force commander and Second Division captain! You are also know as the Goddess of Flash, wow, such a pleasure to finally meet the three most famous names in Soul Society!" I bowed on both knees in front of the group, putting on a decent act as Yoruichi blushed and Urahara out a fan in front of his face to hide his own smirk that was forming.
"Well, flattery will get you everywhere in this world." She finally replied as her blush died down.
"I merely seek residence here to ask training..and perhaps, a favor?" I questioned as I stood, looking particularly at Urahara as his smirk was fully shown.
"Training is a fair price, no matter of what kind you are looking for, but favors..now those are something that are a bit pricey on my end." The owner of the small shoten stated as he tilted his head sideways inside. We all entered, with Yoruichi first, myself second, Ururu and Jinta behind me, Urahara behind them, and finally Tessai who eventually just disappeared.
"Well I will probably ask for training in speed and kido, but my favor is primarily for you, Kiskue Urahara." I stated seriously as he gave a cue for those, other than the two of us, leave the room.
"Well, I saw a hollow before I made it here, went by the name of Grand Fisher.." I started and Urahara immediately became interested as he keened inward to hear more.
"Well he was caught of guard by my clothing, saying I was part of Aizen's Espada I believe, well after I killed him I..I couldn't hear my zanpaktou anymore, but a laugh inside my inner world, but he is the only on there. Do you know what it could mean? I mean, my favor is for you to help me enter my own inner world." I began to ramble, which is a habit I obtained throughout my life as a soul.
"Well well, very interesting bit of information, Rayne, well I do believe I can help you out, under one condition." Urahara stated with a serious look.
"Sure, what is it? Run tests? Secret passage into Soul Society? Maybe even-"
"I want you to go to Hueco Mundo and become part of Aizen's Espada army!" Urahara exclaimed, causing me to deadpan.
"Wha-..Are you serious?"
And scene! Sorry about the wait and the stupid cliffhanger, but I am afraid that is all I can think of for right now.
I apologize but I will not be finishing the IPod story because I have lost the doc every single time, but no worries. I shall make up my absence and my leaving of a story by uploading another chapter sometime tomorrow!
Fair well, my readers!
