Alright the final chapter. You've all been lovely readers, and remember that I have a surprise for you at the end of this fanfiction! So enjoy. I love you all. (Warning: The first sentence is a SPOILER)


Sosuke Aizen's arrest led to a flurry of happiness and peace throughout the soul society. With the death of the Espada led to a controversial blessing to the Soul Reapers. As all thirteen captains and their lieutenants stood in a meeting, rumors of their blessing flew. With the death of the Espada, does to one that killed them get their power? Head Captian Yamamoto clicked his cane against the ground to get their attention. "Listen carefully. We all know that something very important happens when and Espada is killed in battle. Captain Kurotsuchi and squad twelve have discovered that power."

Mayuri stepped forward and said in his raspy voice, "It seems that when an Espada dies, the souls of the dead they have absorbed are released, thereby meaning that these released souls are able to collected and retuned to their physical forms." Renji stepped forward. "Hang on. Does this mean certain people can be brought back from the dead." Mayuri smiled crookedly. "That's precisely what it means. Nemu and I have made a list of all the people that can be brought back to life." With that he took out several scrolls and handed them to each captain.

"Anyone of the soul reapers that killed an Espada will be given the choice of who they want to be revived," said Yamamoto, "And that includes anyone who's not a lieutenant, the Visords and the substitute soul reaper, Ichigo Kurusaki. You may choose of anyone on the list that corresponds with the Espada you killed. You may choose to benefit the soul society or to benefit yourself, but if I sense any trickery, I will dispose of you and whoever you brought back to life. Captains Zaraki, Kyoraku, Kuchiki and Kurotsuchi have the options of bringing back someone from this list. Between captains Kuchiki and Zaraki, you may bring back two. Decide amongst each other. This meeting is over. You're dismissed."

Everyone filed out the room reserved but spoke excitedly when they were out of earshot of the head captain. Renji read Byakuya's lists excitedly. "This is all incredible captain. You have very powerful options. Some of these warriors are way before your time." Byakuya nodded but continued, uninterested toward his own barracks. Out of nowhere, Kenpachi Zaraki leapt in front of them. "Hey. I don't feel like picking out two people to revive. SO you take the list from that big, ugly Espada we killed." Byakuya scoffed. "I wondered what the head captain would give you such responsibilities any way." He took the scroll from Kenpachi and continued onward.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kenpachi growled. Byakuya kept walking. "It means that you couldn't even handle a child's task." Kenpachi snarled and lunged for Byakuya but he had disappeared before Kenpachi could make contact.

At his own barracks, Byakuya read through Kenpachi's scroll and noted several possible candidates. Before he could read his own, he heard a knock at the door. "Come," he said softly. Rukia entered his room slowly. "I ope I'm not disturbing you, Brother." Byakuya faced her. "No, you're not. Do you need something, Rukia?" Rukia went and sat next to him while opening her scroll. "I killed one of the Espada and I do have someone I want to bring back, but I don't want to seem selfish." Byakuya looked over the scroll and asked, "Who is it?"

"Kaien Shiba." Byakuya froze, then looked at her. She looked down at her hands ashamed. Byakuya stared at her then back at the scroll, thinking of something to say. "Kaien Shiba is a very powerful soul reaper and therefore a beneficial choice that will help all of the Soul Society. If you choose Kaien Shiba, no one would disagree, or find you to be selfish." Rukia looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you brother. Who are you choosing?"

"I'm not sure yet." Rukia picked up is scroll and opened it.

Byakuya's mind drifted elsewhere. He longed to do as Rukia did. Make a decision that would benefit him and everyone else, but he just picked men that would help when it came to war and battles. He honestly didn't know if such a decision could be made on his behalf. He didn't know anyone that would please him and the rest of the Soul Society. Rukia gasped audibly and Byakuya looked at her concerned. "What's wrong?"

Her eyes filled with tear and she closed the scroll before her tears could make the ink run on the scroll. Byakuya took the scroll and read through it carefully. Each name seemed unfamiliar to him. His eyes scanned the names until he read the words that stopped his heart.

Koru, Daimo
Kuashu, Satsui
Kuchiki, Hisana
