Disclaimer- I do not own Bleach, but I do own the oc's. Thanks for reading and I put the character information for Kaori Matsuko with the other character info.

This chapter was making me think of the song Soon We Be Found by Sia so that's what the title is, and I of course do not own this song. And be prepared for a good fight in the next chapter :)


Chapter 6- Soon We'll Be Found

Emiko's POV

I run around squad five in circles for about fifteen minutes lost until someone finally stops me.

"What are you doing here Emiko?" I turn around to face Sosuke.

"I'm looking for Shinji. Do you know where is he?"

"Captain Hirako's out with some other Captains investigating the recent disappearances."

"I'm surprised they didn't ask me to help. Do you know where they're heading?" I ask thinking maybe I could still catch up to them.

"They're probably somewhere in the woods or in the Rukon Districts by now."

"All right, thanks Sosuke." I say getting ready to leave.

"You shouldn't go out there Emiko." He mutters and I turn around to look at him.

"Why not?"

"It's dangerous and you may not like what you see. Squad members have disappeared leaving nothing but their clothes behind. I'd be sad if you found the robes someone you know." He says in a tone like he knows something I don't.

"I still want to help them find Kisuke. If you're worried about me then why not come and help us." I suggest to him and he frowns.

"Captain Hirako ordered me to stay here."

"Is it because he found out you were sneaking around in the woods last night where they're now investigating?" I ask and he stays quiet. "I'll repeat what I told you last night, you better hope no one finds out if you were doing something you're not suppose to out there or you'll be in big trouble and I will not help you get out of it." I warn him and he nods his head.

"I'll keep that in mind." He answers and starts to walk away.

When I see him turn down the hallway I turn to leave too because I still had a lot of other things to do. One of them was to find Mayumi and have her help me look for Kisuke.

Kisuke's POV

I open my eyes feeling groggy and having a splitting headache. I look down at my hands and feet to see them tied together. My hatori was also gone.

The last thing I remembered was walking to the bar where Emiko and I were meeting to eat dinner, and then a lady who said she was lost asked me for directions. As I was telling her them I was suddenly hit on the back of the head with something hard and blacked out.

"So you're finally awake." I hear a familiar voice laugh. I look up and see the woman from last night, her features more visible in the light. She had piercing dark maroon colored eyes and silver hair.

She walks over to me then bends over slowly grabbing a hold of my hair. "It's astounding that a captain of the Gotei 13 let themselves get captured and have their zanpakuto taken so easily. You really are pathetic." She whispers into my ear and tightens her grip on my hair forcing me to look up at her.

"What makes you think I didn't just let you kidnap me?"

"Hmm, well even if you did my plan will still work out well."

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you capture me?"

"I needed you to make sure that little bitch comes here so I can finally get rid of her." She says with a look of disgust on her face. "I'll finally rid the world of the mistake I created."

"I can tell by the way you're talking that I probably know this person. So who is exactly?" I ask and she looks right at me her eyes looking right through me.

"You'll see them soon and for the last time too." She smirks then leaves me alone again.

Emiko's POV

I had run back to my own squad to get Mayumi, but after not finding her in her room I went down to the training area our squad.

I walk outside and see her sparring with another member and watch her deliver the finishing blow making her opponent collapse.

"Mayumi!" I call her and she looks over at me surprised.

"How long have you been standing there Kimura-san?"

"That's not important. I need you to come with me right now." I begin to walk away expecting her to follow, which she does with no hesitation.

"Where are we going?" She asks walking up beside me.

"On a little mission of our own."

"So the head captain hasn't approved of it."

"No, but with all that's going on I'd rather not waste time to ask for permission."

"So what is our mission Kimura-san?"

"To find Captain Urahara." I tell her and she looks back me confused.

"I thought there was already a team of Captains out looking for the squad members that went missing."

"Yes, but I have a feeling like I know how to find him." I say and she nods her head and continues to follow me.

We had made it all the way to the restaurant from last night but I still wasn't sure of what we should do next. Kaori had told me last night that she would meet me here in two days which is tomorrow. I wasn't about to wait a whole day and with the possibility that they have him.

I began to walk back towards the wood but stop trying to decide which way to go.

"Captain are you unsure of what way to go. If you are we could always go in different directions and meet back here later." Mayumi suggest.

"Good idea. Let's meet back here in thirty minutes."

"Yes ma'am." She looks at me one more time before she runs off into the forest and I do the same.

I flash step through the trees of the woods looking down at the ground below.

"Shriek, Kazenooto!" I hear followed by the roar of a sudden gust of wind knocking me out of the tree I was in and onto the ground. I hear footsteps get closer to me and I get up quickly ready for them.

"Why are you out here Emiko?" My eyes meet the maroon ones I had just meet last night.

"Looking for a friend." I reply making Kaori smile.

"Is it the one you were supposes to meet last night? A different group of men came through here earlier but found it difficult to go further due to the harsh winds. I seen they were also carrying a white hatori with the symbol for squad twelve on it. It belonged to him right?" My eyes widen at what she had said.

"You know where he is don't you?"

"Shirek." She repeats sending another gust of wind my way and I quickly move out of the way. With one swift move of her hilt the wind changes direction and hits me directly, sending me crashing into a tree.

I remain standing against the even after the wind had disappeared and look at Kaori.

"So that is your bankai, it was pretty strong."

"Hmm." She hums amused. "That was only my shikai." She confesses and my eyes widen.

"How did you learn that without attending the academy?"

"Does it really matter?"

"I guess not." I answer, keeping my sword hanging off my waist. "So are you preventing others from passing through here because you don't want them to find out what you've done?"

"That and I'm waiting for the only person who is allowed to pass through here."

"And who's that?" I ask but I already I know the answer.

"You can't already figure out?"

"I can but I just wanted to see if you'd tell me."

"Do you know why it is this way?"

"Do you mean why I'm the only one that you're allowing to pass?" I ask and she nod to answer my question. "I'm thinking it has something to do with mom."

"Yes, you're right."

"Does that mean she's close by?" I ask and she nods her head. "And I'm guessing she's the one who took Kisuke." She nods again.

"She did it last night, but didn't tell me until I had arrived back from the restaurant. She didn't want to wait an extra day and she knew you would come looking for him."

"So you're out here to take me to her?"

"Yes. Soon I'll take you to her."

"But what are we going to do now?"

"I think you already know the answer to that Emiko." She says holding up her sword and I smile back.

"Yeah but I was hoping it didn't have to come to this." I say unsheathing my sword. "But I guess I have no other choice." And the sound of steel meeting steel echoes around us.
