Orihime woke up in an area know as the rukong district and looked at the citizens.
Find jidanbo said a voice in her head.
Looking around Orihime searched for someone who seemed kind enough to point her in the right direction. Though she had no luck until she found someone who was walking with their son. Both with wide grins on their faces.
"Excuse me," said Orihime to the lady.
"Yes?" asked the lady.
"I was wondering if you could tell me where the gate keeper is into the serete," said Orihime," Jidanbo."
"Well you're in luck," said the women," you're in the right district for it. Jidanbo is up head. Take the first left and you'll find him."
"Thank you so much," said Orihime.
The sun was setting having the vibrant colors or orange yellow and pink sink in with the sun slowly setting over the hills and rooftops. Orihime began to run and run as fast as she could. She had to meet Jidanbo, had to find Rukia and most importantly get back to her love. Orihime had no idea how long it would take but she hoped it would not take too long. Yamamoto didn't know about her current strength so she would be a squad four. Grimmjow would laugh his ass off but Orihime would bind him with that kidou spell and make him beg for mercy. She would try to leave squad four as soon as possible. Dodging citizens Orihime finally made it and saw the hug giant.
"Miss inoue what are you doing here?" asked Jidanbo.
"Well I need to get into the serete," said Orihime," I need to meet up with Rukia-chan."
"Why didn't you go through the senkiamon?" he asked.
"Well you see," said Orihime," well...I uh died."
Jidanbo was silent for a few minutes before he turned to the gate lifting it up slowly to reveal the small shinigami standing there waiting for Orihime. Orihime swiftly moved but thanked Jidanbo. As soon as Orihime was saftly on the other side the gate came crashing down and there was some dust surrounding the two friends.
"Rukia-chan," said Orihime.
"I'm glad to see you made it through precepite world," said Rukia," and that you didn't become a blank."
"That would be awful," said Orihime," so how did it go with the squad one captain."
"He wants to see you," said Rukia," before he places you in a squad. I'll just flash step us there though. make things quicker."
Rukia grabbed Orihime's hand and the pair began to run after a few feet Rukia would use flash step to get over fifteen meters. Soon enough she could see the baracks of squad one. Orihime's head thumping as fast as a hummingbird. She was nervous. What if Yamamoto didn't like her. He had once thought of her as a traitor since she left with ulquiorra. Would this be the same or would he let her be and join a squad. Would she actually have to go to the soul reaper academy. If so she would have to wait even more. Rukia knocked on the barracks annoucing her prescene asking for permission to enter. The barracks entered slowly allowling them in. Rukia no longer holding Orihime's hand the two walked forward entering the head captains area. Yamamoto sat at a wooden desk with his leutenant at his side. If you looked to the left you could see the majority of the soul society. The nights prescene took over reveal the millions of twinkling stars throughout the dark blue sky.
"Orihime Inoue," said the head captain.
"Yes sir?" asked Orihime.
" I have a few questions about you," he said.
"You may ask them if you wish," she said.
"It is about your powers," he said," do they still work?"
"They worked when I saved Ulquiorra," I said.
"Oh yes the ex espada," he said," in addition to my next question how is he. Does he seem to plan vengence on soul society."
"No sir!" said Rukia," the man is in grieving over his lost one. Soon to be awaiting for her arrival."
"Well that can be problematic," he said," on another note Ms. Orihime Inoue you will be joining squad four. Unohana pleasae come out to meet your new fifth set."
The captain and leuitenant of squad four came in to greet Orihime. Orihime knew well that Hanatoro was in this squad and he was a really nice guy.
"Hello Inoue-san," said the captain.
"Hello Unohana-san," said Orihime.
"It is a great addition to have someone with amazing healing skills," said the captain.
"There not that great," said Orihime.
Unohana laughed," well if you need anything please come to me. I want you to fit in. Being new to actually being a soul reaper instead of a human."
"Thank you," said Orihime.
Unohana and Isane left leaving Rukia and Orihime alone. Yamamoto went off for a few minutes leaving Orihime confused until the man returned with a red zanpakuto. It was not in shikai or anything. Along with the metal sword he had a uniform and a wooden sword with him.
"Ms. Kuchiki I would like for you to train Ms. Inoue," said the captain," you are very skilled in kidou and can help her. You also had Kaien Shiba helping you so you can teach her how to get shikai."
"Yes sir!" said Rukia.
"You are dismissed," said the captain.
Before the two left Orihime was given the uniform, sword and wooden sword. She knew the wooden sword was to manage spiritual pressure so she would be able to manage kidou spells. She had done pretty well when they had that cannon ball. Orihime and Rukia bowed and then left for the barracks of squad four. Orihime had no idea where to go but she figured she would find a place. Though when she was walking with Rukia she was quiet nervous having the members watch her. Orihime ran into unohana and she direct Rukia on where to go. The place where Orihime would be living was empty and she had an entire room to herself. Orihime turned to look at Rukia with a determined look.
"I want to begin training," said Orihime," I want to be strong. I want to get my missions to the world of the living. I want to see Ulquiorra. Most importantly I don't want anyone revealing my squad number. If Grimmjow finds out I'm in squad 4 I will never hear the end of it. I want to be in a different squad. One that lets me fight."
Rukia nodded her head," I have to go to the world of the living in a few days so I can train you. Renji is going back here after so when I see him I'll have him train you. I'll teach you to train and help you get shikai."
'Is it hard to get shikai" asked Orihime.
"Well you have to go through some sort of meditation to get in your inner world,"said Rukia," see your zankpaktou in its form and I don't really know it's different for every soul reaper."
"Okay," said Orihime.
"Lets go," said Rukia.
Orihime threw on her uniform on over her original cloths. Having Rukia grab her hand and flash step numerous time until they reached a forest somewhere. The pitch black night sky surrounding the two soul reapers.
"Now," said Orihime," draw your sword."
Rukia gave Orihime no warning since Rukia flash stepped so quickily. Orihime barely managed to protect herself when she raised the sword. Orihime's tight grip on its hilt. Pushing Rukia away she looked at the small shinigami with wide eyes.
"Why are you attacking me?" Orihime questioned.
Rukia didn't bother to anwser instead she brought a sword to attack Orihime again slicing her arm.
"You wanted to get shikai didn't you?" she asked with a smirk," there are two ways. I can either make you fight for shikai or you will have to use meditation. To be honest I want to fight. You gain experience, possibly learn shikai and hey if your lucky flash step."
Orihime couldn't believe what her friend was telling her but she knew that if she injured Rukia then she would be healed after the battle. Orihime watched carefully as Rukia called out her zankaputo. Sode no Shirayuki the most beautiful sword of all soul society. She watched as Rukia called out the power that was used for the ice pillar and jumped to the side rolling. Orihime's sword not managing to cut could Orihime compete against that. A pillar full of ice that raised to the heavans. It was suicide. It was like going up against captain Toshiro Hitsuguya and his bankai or even Kenpachi...defiantily Kenpachi being the worst since he spared no one. Did not care if you were male or female. If you were in his way you were going down. Orihime ran to Rukia dodging the rest of the ice pillars that struck high into the sky and managed to slice Rukia's left arm before she could use her flash step. Rukia looked at her bleeding arm watching as the blood was being absorb in her uniform. Orihime took this time to attack.
"Pay attention," said Orihime.
Orhime was just about to strike when Rukia smiled and used her power. Orihime was in the air half way over the ice pillar when it struck her. Her mind was in shock. She lost. It couldn't be. How would she be able to save herself now. See Ulquiorra.
Orihime said a voice.
who is that? Orihime thought to herself.
The world was no longer the shade of ice but now black. The next time Orihime opened her eyes it revealed a world with many autumn colored trees like she had seen before she had died. Along with misty rain but the thing was that this rain was neither wet nor cold. Orihime looked aroudd and noticed something or rather someone. There was a women standing there. She stood in one of the autumn colored trees casually. She had beautiful raven hair flowing half way down her back with tints of purple. The women had vibrant golden eyes that stared at her. The women flash stepped towards her. The women wore something elegant. A soft silky looking black dress that made it down to her knees. She wore a tie around her neck and had golden glitter on her face. On her left eyes was what appeared to be face pain the colors pink white and blue. White close to the edge of her eyes, blue the majority and pink on the very end. There was black markings and twirls around the color. This women was absolutely beautiful. The smile on her face was warming.
"Hello Orihime," said the women.
Orihime blinked a few times. She recognized the voice, that was the voice inside her head. The one who helped her when she fought even as a human
"Do you know who I am?" asked the woman.
"My zanpaktou," said Orihime.
"Good" said the woman and smiled," but more importantly do you know my name."
"No," said Orihime," but I would like to. I need to get stronger. I need to help instead of always being in the way. I need to see Ulquiorra."
"Why else should I help you?" asked the woman
"Because...Because," said Orihime," Because I need to win. I can't die and I want to become powerful and be able to stnad for my own like I told you before. Now that I am a soul reaper I want to show off our power. The power we now share and because you are a part of me since a zanpaktou is a part of a soul reaper."
"Shigeru," said the women.
"Huh?" said Orihime.
"My name is Shigeru," said the woman," if you ever want to have me in shikai you call my name. Say Swirl defeat and protect Shigeru. I will aid you. No go. Go and save yourself. Call out my name."
"Swirl defeat and protect Shigeru!" Orihijme cried.
The world disappeared in front of her eyes and she witnessed as the ice pillar that had held her prisoner shattered. She didn't know hwo to use her power though or what is was.
call my name again. Say Shigeru but this time add either fire, water,shadows or thunder to not you get just the originallity of it all. said Shigeru.
"Shigeru shadow!" cried Orihime
Orihime swung her sword and watched as something happened. A gust of wind being released by her zanpaktou.
control the wind! cried Shigeru.
Concentrating on the wind Orihime focused on it attacking Rukia. Orihime noticed that there was darkness that surrounded Rukia...Shadows. She could control shadows, fire, thunder and water with her wind or just wind alone. Blinking a few times she looked at the binded soul reaper. Orihime managed her first flash step and held the sword to Rukia's throat.
"I'm sorry," said Orihime," but it looks like I win."
Rukia looked at Orihime with awe. This power that reitsu that left Orihime was strong. Strong as a third seat. Orihime managed to place Shigeru in her normal sword form.
Until next time Shigeru. Thank you. Orihime said to her zanpaktou.
Smiling Orihime helped Rukia up as the binds were now gone. She had been able to do flash step and hopefully could get better from learning from a certain were cat. Her smile widen at the realization that she may be able to see Ulquiorra sooner than later.
"When you see ulquiorra," said Orihime," tell him that I love him"
Well how did you like it. Shigeru i think means autumn rain i cant remember. I like her zanpaktous power. i liked the idea oof wind but i thought what if i gave her elements then i realized omg she might not wanna hurt rukia like that so i gave her the power to control shadows. not like that one captain with twin swords though. Long chapter for me phew. I think the wind itself with be like that bount guy. i don't wanna spell his name cause i might get it wrong:/ lol happy readings.
