Dawn of the Dark Shinigami

Chapter 3: The past

Ichigo woke up, his vision starting out blurry but clearing with every second, after a few minutes he sat up and looked around ''what happened? where am I''

''you are in the Squad 13 barracks, they left before dealing the final blow, you have no idea how lucky you have been Ichigo...'' Rukia said sitting on a chair next to his bed.

''that guy...Itsuki... how is he so strong? his strength was way above a captains... but how?'' Ichigo wondered

''well if he was able too beat you, he'll probably be one hell of a good fight'' Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of Squad 11's, voice sounded from a corner ''it'll be fun facing him!'' a big grin appeared on Kenpachi's face, ''Am I right Yachiru?''

''Totally right, Kenny!'' Yachiru Kusajishi, Lieutannant of Squad 11 replied. ''lets get going, I dont want to waste time sitting here, I want to find these Dark Shinigami's and kill them'' Kenpachi said licking his lips.

Yachiru jumped on Kenpachi's back ''alright Kenny! lets go!'' with that both of them took off.

Captain of squad 12, mayuri Kurotsuchi, Came in, ''I heard about these Dark Shinigami's and I was wondering... is maybe one of them named...Hikari Yumi?''

Ichigo Froze ''how...how did you know that?''

''well... Hikari Yumi used to be my Lieutannant... when she was banned from the soul society, I created Nemu, because no one...and I mean...NO ONE, could counter her strength, speed and skill I saw her go with pain in my heart... but it couldnt be helped.'' Mayuri told.

''tell...what happened that she got banned?'' Ichigo asked.

''well if you insist...'' Mayuri started ''it started when Hikari was just a little girl, she was raised in the Yumi family in the Northern Rukon District, she possesed large amount of Spirit energy which made her unique, I found her and insisted she'd take lessons at the soul reaper school, she took my offer and granted she had talent, the Yumi family by the time she had graduated had all passed away.

she had no place too turn too, so I offered her a spot within my squad, because she was well talented I placed her as a 5th seat, a great honor for the first entry of a squad. quickly after she was offered a home to go too a night by the noble Namikaze Family, she prooved herself stronger then any other in my squad and worked her way up too Lieutannant within a year.

I dont know anything of her relationship with Itsuki Namikaze... all I know is that they were close... anyhow... then that guy... Tsukaii Sobata...showed up, he killed the captain of Squad 3, not Gin Ichimaru, back then Gin Ichimaru was still Lieutannant of Squad 5. anyhow he killed the Captain of Squad 3 and took over the entire squad, he talked lies into the heads of Itsuki and Hikari and both of them went rogue on the seireitei, together trying too attack the head captain... both of them got beaten and were banned to Hueco Mundo indefinitely, Captain Sobata was sent with them as he was the main cause of the riot.'' Mayuri finished and started too catch his breath ''I wish I could tell you more about the relationship between Itsuki and Hikari but I cant...''

''I can'' a voice sounded from the back

''Captain Ukitake!'' Rukia called out.

Ukitake Jushiro, Captain of Squad 13, stepped forwards.

''it was long ago'' Captain Ukitake started ''Hikari and Itsuki were the best friends, both had nothing but kindness in their hearts, they would practice together since the moment they went too school together and both got in the talents class... I saw in Itsuki the perfect Lieutannant of my squad... I didnt have a Lieutannant back then. he was training with her everyday, I watched them explore the limits of their powers, discovering the names of their zanpakuto together...

they were insepperable, once Graduated Itsuki became Lieutannant of my Squad immediately, he would tease Hikari about how he became Lieutannant and she got a mere 5th seat, she would tell him that soon she would be a lieutannant as well, always joking with eachother is what they did.

I would sometimes talk too Itsuki alone and he would Always talk about her, I remember asking if he liked her for more then just a best friend, he would always say they were just friends and liked to hang out with eachother, one day Itsuki offered Hikari too come live at his house, his house of Nobility. barely 2 years later the first captain of ther 3rd squad was killed, by the cold heartless soul reaper, Tsukaii Sobata with his Zanpakuto...Primal... no one really knew what it could do cause he would never show it too anyone. one day he wanted to talk with Hikari and Itsuki, when they came back they both started too use all their powers and strength too destroy the Seireitei, under command of Tsukaii, all three of their powers were limited, and they were all banned too Hueco Mundo indefinitely.'' Ukitake Sighed ''I dont understand what happened... he was such a great guy...''

''no one understands'' Mayuri replied

''Its all that guy Tsukaii's fault! I know it for sure!'' Ichigo said out loud ''I'll find him and make sure he'll never uses anyone ever again, I'll KILL HIM!''

''is that so?'' a voice sounded from behind them ''it seems like both you Mayuri, and you Ukitake, didnt really like me that much then?''

''Tsukaii Sobata!'' everyone said equally timed

''thats me, Ichigo Kurosaki... if you are willing to join me on my way, I will let all your friends here live'' Tsukaii said with a blank expression

''What! NO WAY! I'll never come with you!'' Ichigo got up too his defenses.

''well then... I guess I'll just have to kill all your friends of one by one until you decide too come.'' with that Tsukaii Pierced right trough Rukia before Ichigo could even respond, ''convinced yet?''
