Heres Chapter Two hope you enjoy it and please review!!
Chapter 2
I entered into a dark tunnel. The shinigami were flying ahead, escorted by small black butterflies, but I was falling. I didn't know how I knew I was but I was. I started to scream and they looked back at me. Rukias' eye widened as she called out my name, but she couldn't turn back. Then the captain laid eyes on me once more. He merely turned toward me and flew in my direction. I felt his arms surround my waist and I was lifted back up. My scream had been short lived as the fall went on and was gone when he reached me. I had no idea what to do, or what he would do. But he followed the others, the butterfly behind him kept up and we soon made it to the other side of the tunnel; inside of the Soul Society.
He gently lowered me to the floor and I released my grip from his robes. I whispered a small thank you to the captain. Rukia said nothing but looked relived that I had been helped through or maybe that I had lived. When she didn't say anything the line of Renjis' popped into my mind, 'going to him will only make you sentence stronger.' I guessed if she said anything she would be further punished. I also guessed that by coming here, however it happened, I had made her punishment worse too. I said nothing. But I did look around.
The room we had landed it was large one, its' walls were stark white, the floor was bamboo, or something close to it, the doors were of the ancient looking sliding screen doors you would expect from the old Japan.
Shinigami were covering the place. Some had taken Rukia and placed her in handcuffs of some kind, they were leading her way. Still I said nothing. Renji however, was looking at me. I slunk back from his gaze, only to bump into the captain who still stood behind me. I jumped forward trying not to do anything that would bring any unwanted wrong on me. Gazing up, the captain still had his eyes on me. This time I was an intruder, a trespasser; and in serious trouble from what I thought. Renji was the first to speak.
"I'm surprised you saved her Captain." Both of them still looked at me, "being caught in the boarder world is a terrible death. You owe the Captain your life."
I nodded timidly at him, still unsure of what would happen to me. Renji turned to his Captain, "Well Sir, what are we going to do with her?" we both waited for the captains response, but didn't receive one as a shinigami walked up to us.
"Well done, Captain Kuchiki, did you have any trouble getting her?" The white haired shinigami's voice was cracked with age and I thought sickness by the looks of him. His face was tired and worn, though he was the same height of the Captain.
"Nothing we would not handle, Captain Ukitate" the Captain replied. I was really confused now, how many captains are there?
"But it seems you have brought back one too many," Captain Ukitate replied looking at me.
When the Captain gave no explanation, Renji did, "she followed us into the gateway. Captain Kuchiki saved her from being trapped in there."
"Did he now, that was very kind of you Byakuya, but what will we do with her now? Send her back?" Captain Ukitate said.
As a voice was beginning to reply to the second Captain, a great weakness came over me. I barely had time to brace myself for a fall when I felt my legs give out from under me. They all took a step back from me as I fell. I felt so cold and weak all of a sudden; then gasped as I began to shiver. The world I saw was beginning to grow dark, the weakness growing rapidly. I knew they were talking but I couldn't understand them, or respond. I raised my hand to look at it; it was shaking beyond my control. And that was the last thing I saw before it all went black…
I was told what happened after I woke.
After I fell, Captain Ukitate kneeled to try and help me, they kept asking what was wrong, but I didn't respond. Renji asked if it may be because I went through the gate that was meant for shinigami alone, but Ukitate said that if that was the case I should have been repelled before even entering the gate. Shortly after I rose my hand to look at it, my body fell over, still shaking, quivering. Then my spiritual pressure began to sore and shrink, as if trapped behind a barrier. Ukitate called for someone to get Lady Unohana. My body began to glow and shake all the more until …it separated. My human body was pushed backwards toward a kneeling Renji, while my spiritual body was pushed forward toward a soon to be kneeling Captain Kuchiki. Immediately both bodies lay still, my human body was no longer breathing while my soul was merely acting as if I had fainted. Captain Ukitate and Captain Kuchiki rotated me so that I lay on my back while Renji maneuvered the human body.
"Sirs, come take a look," Renji said. That was when they noticed that I was not breathing, well the human part of me at least.
"What is going on here?" Captain Ukitate asked. Right then Lady Unohana raced into the room accompanied by a silver haired woman.
"What's wrong?" the woman asked as they headed to the three kneeling men. Renji stepped out of the way to allow her to kneel beside my unmoving bodies.
"What the…" the second woman breathed. She gazed down at the most unusual sight. Lady Unohana took one look at my human self before moving to my soul body that was propped up in Captain Kuchikis' arms.
"Who is this?" the lady asked.
"We don't know; she followed us through the gate." Renji said.
After a short while Lady Unohana spoke, "She should wake soon, within the day at the most. Take her back to my barracks, she'll need her rest."
"But she-" Renji started.
"But what, lieutenant?" Lady Unohana said.
"But she's a human not a shinigami," he said, voicing the question the men were thinking. My soul self rested in the garb of a shinigami with a sword hanging at my side.
"A human?" Lady Unohanas' eyes widened, "how, that is a gigai right there, an older one but a gigai none the less."
"What!" Captain Ukitate and Renji said in unison. "What's going on here?" Renji asked. No one responded to him, not that they knew the answer. Lady Unohana instructed Captain Byakuya, who still supported my soul, to follow her and for Renji to bring the gigai. Though Captain Byakuya would have preferred not to, he obeyed. Renji picked up the gigai bridal style as did Captain Byakuya and the three men followed Lady Unohana out of the room.
It was night outside as the group made their way to the barracks the Lady had spoken of. They walked along the halls, one side of the halls was to the back of a building the other side was a railing over a large courtyard below. A roof covered them overhead. Along the journey the sight really didn't change from the stark white walls to the bamboo like floor and the moon full over head. Lady Unohana held the lead followed by Captain Byakuya, then Captain Ukitate and Renji, the silver haired woman bringing up the rear.
"Isane, go ahead and tell the squad to make up a bed for our friend, please" Unohana spoke to the silver haired woman.
"Yes mam," with that the woman, Isane, took off over the railing and courtyard to the far side before disappearing into the night. Her followers seemed undaunted by the action.
A few minuets later the group arrived at a large building at the end of a large bridge and entered it through double screen doors, identical to the previous room. Lady Unohana led them to a separate room that held two beds and issued Captain Byakuya to lay my body on the far bed.
"Lieutenant Abarai, you may put the gigai on the other bed." Renji did as he was told and lay the strange gigai down. But he paused, confusion clouded his eyes. Leaning closer to it, he didn't notice the other shinigamis wired glances.
"Renji, what are you doing?" Isane asked first.
"I hear something…" he followed the sound to the pocket of the pants the gigai was wearing. Slowly he placed his hand inside and pulled out a small silver rectangular object. Dangling from the strange item were two strings, holding it up, he found the noise coming from the small flat balls at the end of the strings. Unbeknownst to him he pressed something on the silver rectangle and the noise increased so that not only could he hear it plainly but the others could now hear the sound. Isane moved closer to the sound and listened.
'Hey hey, you you, I don't like your girlfriend, no way no way think you need a new one. Hey hey, you you I could be your girlfriend….' Their eyes went even wider at the words coming from the small device.
"What is it?" Lady Unohana asked.
"I don't know. I've never seen one before." Renji said, again pushing another bottom; this time it caused the song to change.
'There is one speech from high school I'll never forget….bet I'll be up all night still cleaning this gun.' This causes Isane to bit back a laugh at the word the thing sang.
"Renji" a warming voice came from Captain Kuchiki. Renji immediately turned his attention to his Captain.
"Yes sir."
"Make it stop." Renji could have believed that his Captain had heard the small words clearly but would rather have believed other wise. He looked from the flat balls to the rectangular flat box, noticing some strange markings and a small screen. On the screen were the words 'Cleaning this Gun, Rodney Atkins' and a small red line that was slowly growing longer. Turning his attention to the markings he tried pushing one, the words raced for ward. Trying another; the words seemed to go in reverse; before he finally hit small light silver bars and the noise stopped all together.
"There," he said. Though he wanted to hear more of what this thing could do, he let it on the table beside the bed. Isane too was looking at the device is wonder and sadness for it to have stopped, but the Captains pulled her out of it.
"What are we going to do with her?" Captain Ukitate asked in his crackling voice.
"She will be fine here until she wakes up, for now we let her rest. Do you believe guards will be needed sirs?" Lady Unohana asked.
"Needed or not it is protocol." Captain Kuchiki said. The Lady nodded before responding.
"I will stay with her for now and order some of my officers to keep an eye on her over night if she has not woken before long."
"Very well Captain, we will leave you. Come Byakuya I am sure there will be a meeting now that you have returned with Rukia." Captain Ukitate took the lead as the two men left.
"Um, Captain Kuchiki, will you be needing me, sir?" Renji inquired.
"No, I will cover the debriefing Renji, you are free to go."
"Thank you Captain." He sounded relived as the two Captains left the room and slid the door shut. Once it was shut the Lieutenant looked to the device before asked the Lady, "Captain Unohana, may I?"
She smiled softly before nodding and Renji snatched up the device and again began to mess around with it; Isane watching over his shoulder. Captain Unohana sat beside the bed that held my soul body as the two lieutenants messed with the small device.
