"Lets begin…"
All the other four nodded as if they heard and disappeared.
The night was darker than usual with only a few dim lights lit on the nearly empty streets of Karakura.
Five bells echoed throughout the town unbeknownst to the clueless humans.
One of the figures appeared from no where on the middle of the silent street, his large black hat covering his whole face. It had three ornaments attached to a string, only one though had a bell attached to it. He had had a black chin-high cloak with red flame patterns creeping form the bottom hem of the cloak until it reached just under his chest.
Moments later, a young human teenager walked up the silent street unaware that there was a spirit with a dark but strong aura standing in the middle of it. She walked out onto the main street where a hollow was waiting for any human to pass by so it could do its job. As soon the hollow caught sight of the teenager it immediately impaled a claw through her chest, killing her, the mysterious figure watched as the sixteen-year olds soul screamed for help as the hollow held her tight in its sharp claws, but stepped in and paralyzed the spirit without any moment at all . The girls' head hung down as she soon became unable to move. The hollow dropped her to the ground and the figure slowly walked up to her and put a hand over her head, out of no where a flash appeared from his palm and the soul was no more than an empty spirit that was 'dead'.
The hollow chuckled.
"So then, do I get my prized as promised?"
But it got no answer as it got destroyed in a matter of two seconds by the figure who didn't move a muscle. He disappeared without a word into the night of Karakura.
Elsewhere in Karakura the other four mystery spirits have done pretty much the same thing that occurred only moments ago and, too, disappeared into the darkness.
All five ripped the air to open a Garganta and stepped into the other side.
Hueco Mundo…
Soul Society
"Ahhh, that meeting was fairly short, don't you think Shiro-chan?" A tired Momo said.
"Yeah, but it gave us some information if not any. I must admit that I'm worried about these killings, and those chains, what have they got to do with anything?. What are they trying to do? Geez, this sucks." He answered thoughtfully. They both came to gaze out into the sunset at the place they both grew up. They had grown pretty close to each other after all the events that occurred throughout five years and until now there was peace in Soul Society apart from hollow missions here and there.
Of course Hitsugaya-Taichou would never admit it, but he knew he liked Himamori in a special way and was too shy to tell her but they arranged that they would go and watch the sunsets at their old home but now it was night. This meant it was of course, dark.
For some Shinigami the darkness of the night was beautiful, for some it was a symbol of hollows whereas for most of the Shinigami, darkness reminded them of the shadows lurking into your mind whenever your in the dusty deserts of Hueco Mundo or between the white walls of Las Noches.
All Shinigami had a memory that included darkness, lots and lots of darkness. Whether if it was with the fourth division healing comrades whose life was at risk, whether if it was standing guard killing any intruders or if it was fighting, especially in Hueco Mundo. There was also fighting in the living world too, of course and it wasn't any easier than anywhere else.
"Hmm, Shiro-Chan?" Momo asked.
"Nani?"
"Do you think Soul Society will ever be the same again?"
"That I do not know but Soul Society has regained a lot since the war. Oh yeah and one thing Hinamori,"
"Yes?"
"Do. Not. Call. Me. Shiro. -Chan" He said irritably.
Hinamori merely giggled.
9th Division Headquarters
Maia Inazumi stood on the roof of the Ninth Division headquarters, her short black, tied up-high, hair swaying to the left and her piercing green eyes softening under the dim light of the clouded moon.
She became captain seven months after the war and originally came from the Special Forces Unit under Soi Fon. After special training she was suitable to become captain and so she took the Captains exam which she passed.
Generally Maia doesn't talk much, not even to her subordinates. She's more of a mystery to everyone, even to Yamamoto himself. If anyone who didn't know, they would surely think she's Kuchiki Byakuya's blood relative due to the fact she's completely independent and has an icy glare. But even if she's like that, she still shows some affection, if not any for her division although in a silent way. No body knows much about her, only her current rank, age which is mid-twenties appearance but in Soul Society she's more or less 200 years-old and that she came from the Special Forces Unit. No body even knows about her zanpaktou or abilities.
She stood in the same place for half an hour now, looking into the sky, trying to see the moon that was surrounded by dark clouds.
What is she thinking about, I do not know..
5th Division Headquarters
Wanateshi Imasuki also known as 'Teshi' was sitting in his office filling out papers.
"Geez, why is there so muck paperwork. It's as if Soul Society's life depended on it." The captain sighed.
"Well maybe it does!" Came a familiar voice. Hisagi Shuuhei.
He came in to the office and put a big stack of papers on the desk.
Wanateshi glared at it..
"Well these gotta be filled out by noon tomorrow." He said mockingly.
Wanateshi glared at it even more but came to reality when Hisagi waved his hand in front of his face.
"Oh sorry, I'm just tempted to burn the papers right now. I'm guessing Inazumi finished hers already".
"Hell yeah, she gets the shit done in what, 10 minutes?" Since Wanateshi had a good relationship with any young shinigami who's rank was lower than his, he spoke informally almost always.
"Well that's just like her I guess…I don't think she'll ever change."
"Yeah...I guess…"
"Could you tell me one thing Teshi-Taichou?"
"Sure."
"Do you know why she's like that, I mean she barely speaks to anyone…its kinda weird."
"I don't have any idea, we were close friends, she was very popular in the academy, very bright and happy but something happened and she changed dramatically, she never talks to me either." He sort of lied, he didn't know much either but for all he knew, Inazumi still talked to him, they were best friends in academy, after all. He just didn't want to get the Vice-captain before him confused.
"I see, well I better leave you to your paperwork. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
With that said Hisagi used Shunpo to his office while Wanateshi started to do his paperwork.
--
About two or three hours passed and the captain decided he was fed up with paperwork and quietly left the division to take a walk around the area.
Once it seemed it was safe to leave the division without anyone noticing, Wanateshi made his way outside and strolled down the streets of Seireitei, he soon found himself walking toward the 9th Division and sighed. Hell, if I'm going towards her division it wouldn't hurt to give her a little visit would it?
Once he got to the 9th Squad training grounds, he started looking for her, so he started with her office but it was empty and he noticed it was rather…cold.
He thought of asking Hisagi but on second thought he would start teasing him about it.
Bastard.
Then he remembered that she often liked high places so he checked the roof.
Bingo. There she was, standing in the very same position as before, her haori lifting itself lightly and falling back in the wind.
She turned her head slightly to acknowledge his presence but didn't say a word.
"They are strong…" Was the only thing she said.
Wanateshi's head tilted up and looked at her for a brief moment before comprehending what she was talking about.
"They could be, but Soul Society will manage…"
A small sigh escaped her lips.
"The chains."
"What about them?"
"You're so slow, I wonder how in the world you became captain or passed exams for that matter…" Her tone was soft but he didn't miss the light harshness she aimed at him.
"Oh don't underestimate me just yet Maia, I may too laidback and careless but there's a reason how I got this rank," a smirk it's way across his lips.
She just looked at him before turning her head to the dark sky she was focusing on.
"You're worried about them……. You're worried about the enemies aren't you, Imazuki?"
She reverted her eyes to ground and then looked at him again.
"Something will happen….We are not to underestimate them…"
After a long moment of staring at each other, the silence broke.
"Goodnight…" She said.
"Uh…. Yeah… goodnight…" He frowned there was something bothering her and it wasn't just the enemy. He would find out sooner or later.
With that said, both disappeared to get some sleep through the night, if they could.
'Heh, she's like Soi Fon these days…'
'Fool…'
