Hi! Um, I don't really have anything to say right now, since I have nothing on mind. Except for this one guy I like, but he doesn't notice, so I'm basically moping until I remembered to continue this story. Since Kasumi, Shinsetsu, and Toushi are busy, I have to say the disclaimer...
Disclaimer: I do not own bleach. Only Kasumi, Shinsetsu, and all the stuff I make up. Okay!
An Owed Explanation
Normal POV
"Gotcha..." Kasumi whispered. There she was, looking perfectly fine, still in her animal form, holding Yukihime to Thunder's neck. Thunder's eyes were wide with surprise, shock, and fear. She trembled, her mouth open in a silent scream.
"Th-Thunder... know th-that I-I never wa-wanted it to e-end like th-this..." Kasumi stammered, tears streaming from her eyes. Thunder's eyes softened, closing her mouth. All fear from her eyes scattered away as it was replaced with understanding.
"Water... Or should I say, Kasumi-chan... I always wondered where you went... I missed you... but, you deserve my position as Caster of Thunder now." Thunder murmured. Kasumi lowered her zanpakuto, crying harder.
"Thunder... or should I also say, Rokiru-chan... you know that if you g-give m-me y-your position, y-you'll die..." Kasumi muttered, her fists clenching Yukihime. Thunder just stood up and pointed her finger at Kasumi.
"Desde el rincón más tormentoso de la Tierra, el cuarto elemento de los Cuatro, el trueno pierde su crepitar como mi vida se escapa. Que el resplandor truenos y el crepitar como otra toma tu lugar. Al caminar la cuerda entre la Vida y la Muerte, el nuevo titular de Thunder crujido y brillar."
Kasumi's hair now had a little strands of yellow in it, and her eyes were unchanged. The kanji 'Thunder' was placed on her back. Kasumi stood, watching as a flash of thunder tore down from the sky and carried Thunder up. Kasumi walked back to the group.
"Well, not that everything is done, and practically Seireitei is rubble from the damage that the Elemental Four caused, we should head back to the Gotei 13. I think that was the place that didn't get reduced to rocks and blown up bits of furniture." Kasumi told them.
"Kasumi, are you going to explain everything once we get back?" Renji asked. Everybody else had the question etched on their faces: Will you?
Kasumi sighed,"Yes, I will. I guess I owe you guys an explanation anyways..."
They nodded, and decided to shunpo back to the Gotei 13. Kasumi told them to meet her at the doors of Sou-taicho's office. As soon as they made it, a hell butterfly fluttered over. Kasumi sealed Yukihime so she would revert back to normal form.
"Attention. All fukutaicho's and taicho's report to Yamamoto-soutaicho for an emergency meeting," and with that, the Hell butterfly fluttered off. The group nodded at each other and walked through the large doors and took their place. Soon, every captain filed in, either wounded, a bit scratched up, or perfectly fine thanks to Unohana. As every fukutaicho filed in, they seemed alright except for a few scratches and bruises.
"Kasumi Watsaru, taicho of the 5th Division, step forward." Yamamoto said in his echoing voice. Kasumi trembled slightly, awaiting her fate. Shinsetsu gazed fearfully at her older sister.
"I have the knowledge that you know the group that has attacked Seireitei. I would like to know who they are, and if you were helping them." Yamamoto asked suspsiciously. Kasumi radiated a bit of anger.
"I would never betray Seireitei!" Kasumi said loudly, her eyes blazing.
"Tell me who those people were, Watsaru-taicho." Yamamoto asked, or moreover commanded. Kasumi drooped a bit. She knew this was coming.
"H-hai.." Kasumi murmured. And thus, she weaved out her story.
"You see, when a soul is sent to Soul Society, they can get mislead and sent to a place called 'Elemental Valley'. There, you can be trained as an apprentice to become a Gensokoru. Like how you have Shinigami, we have Gensokoru. You choose your element. Elemental Valley is led by the Elemental Four, which are the masters of an element. I am the Sorceress of Water, Grower of Earth, and Caster of Thunder now that I've defeated the previous leaders. Shinsetsu, my sister, is now the Master of Fire." Kasumi said.
"I see. Tell me about how you ended up like this." Yamamoto replied, rather interested in this story.
"I was mislead and sent to the Elemental Valley. Once I learned about Gensokoru, I went into Genso Academy to become one. I picked the element 'Water', which I excelled at. While learning, I met a few friends that became part of the Elemental Four with me, but died by my hand since they were the ones that invaded Seireitei," Kasumi saddened a bit when she said that,"Their names were Rokiru Sakaminari, Haruka Fujumito, and Hana Komatsuko. Rokiru became Caster of Thunder, Haruka became Master of Fire, and Hana became Grower of Earth. Also, When you become a Gensokoru, you get a zanpakuto, but it is different in ways I can't explain." Kasumi explained.
"I see... how did you end up here?" Yamamoto questioned.
"After my mother gave birth to my sister, she abandoned us. At that point, despite my young age, I was Sorceress of Water. My friends were also part of the Elemental Four already. While going around the forest in search of my mother, since I thought she was still there somewhere, I came upon a gate. It leads to Soul Society, so I went through and trained to become a Shinigami so I could become stronger for Shinsetsu's sake." Kasumi still hadn't said something she dearly wanted to, and Yamamoto noticed.
"Watsaru-taicho, what is it that you want to say?" Yamamoto asked calmly.
"W-Well, you see, I put an illusion over the Gotei 13 on my looks since if I looked too much like a Gensokoru, I thought you might notice and ask what I was. So, can I release it so you see what I really look like?" Kasumi questioned. Nervously.
"You cast an illusion and I didn't notice? Amazing. Anyways, of course you may." Yamamoto replied. What an interesting girl...
"Release: Ancient Eye Illusion!" Kasumi shouted, slamming her palm into the ground. A white cloud surrounded Kasumi, including a wind that nearly knocked everybody off their feet. Toushiro held his arms up just in case he toppled over. As the fog disappeared, it revealed the real Kasumi.
Long, dark brown hair pooled down to her waist. There were no light pink streaks, only very light blue tips. Long bangs covered her left eye, hiding it from view. Her right eye, the visible one, were like sapphires. The uniform she had on was a long-sleeved dark blue shirt, with dark blue leggings reaching down to her knees. Her shirt's sleeves were so long it covered her hands. She wore fingerless gloves that had wave designs etched into it. She was still the same height, of course. The shirt had the kanji 'Water' placed in the center, and her leggings had wrappings on it. Her shoes were the same, and Yukihime was still slung over her back, with another mysterious zanpakuto slung over on the other side so it was like an 'X'. All in all, she looked even better than before.
"Well... this is the real me..." Her voice was clear and sounded slightly like bells. She stared at the eyes staring back at her; her eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Are you guys going to talk or what?" Kasumi asked, obviously annoyed at their reaction. She stood, arms crossed until Yamamoto finally spoke.
"Watsaru-taicho, you may still keep your position as Taicho of the 5th Division, but I will let Central 46 decide your fate. Meeting dismissed." Yamamoto said. Kasumi sighed and walked out, heading for the 5th Division with Momo Hinamori following her.
"Kasu-chan, what is that other zanpakuto?" Momo asked, motioning to the other zanpakuto that wasn't Yukihime.
"Oh, well, this is Mizuhebi (A/N: Mizuhebi means Water Serpent)." Kasumi said, touching her zanpakuto.
"You have two?" Momo questioned.
"Yes, when I became a Gensokoru, I got Mizuhebi. Once I came here, I got Yukihime. So, now I have two zanpakutos." Kasumi explained. Momo gave an 'oh', then noticed Kasumi's worried expression.
"What's wrong, Kasu-chan?" Momo asked.
"I'm afraid... what they'll decide of Shin-chan and me."
