Beelzebub was waiting for his master to return from the real world. Beelzebub did not have a huge build compared to Deimos and Jimmu. He was a slender man with slick blond hair that was comb back. He also had pale skin like his master. He would be mistaken for some one who doesn't fight. But those people would be wrong on all counts. For under the clothes he wears, are the scars of countless battles. He is the type of man that doesn't fear the horrors of battle. He carries his sword wherever he goes for the slight chance a fight would break out. That is why Beelzebub was named second in command by Rajani all those years ago. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the gates to the real world open from the other room. Beelzebub went into the room to greet them.
"My lord, welcome back. I see that you are unharmed." Beelzebub said, bowing his head out of respect.
"Of courses I'm fine, Beelzebub. It would take more than a mere human boy to harm me." Rajani responded, slightly amused that Beelzebub said such thing to him.
"Of course, my lord."
"Is there something on your mind, Beelzebub?" Rajani ask, knowing exactly what was on Beelzebub's mind.
"Can we talk in private, my lord?" Beelzebub asked. Rajani nod his head at the request and waved his hand for the two other men to leave the room. Beelzebub waited till Deimos and Jimmu left the room before he say anything.
"So, it's safe to assume that you saw everything, right?" Rajani ask, with a knowing smile on his face.
"Was it wise to anger the boy like that?"
"Always straight to the point with you isn't it. The boy declined the offer I made him. Besides it's easy to kill some one when they're blinded by rage."
"We can still be able to get him to join us."
"Beelzebub, are you really that naïve? There is nothing we can offer that would get him to join us. Not after what I did to his woman…that is."
Beelzebub was about to say something but decide against it. Rajani could tell that Beelzebub was done talking. So, he begun to walk out of the room.
"Now, come. I have other matters to discuss."
It was about eight in the morning on a Saturday at Ichigo's home. Ichigo was starting to wake up from his sleep. He felt something was wrapped around his body. Ichigo look down to find that Rukia had some how managed to wrap her arms around him. She held onto him tight like she was going to taken away or something. He was starting to get lost in her sleeping beauty. The tiniest of smiles appeared across his face at the sight of her. His attention was so focus on Rukia that Ichigo didn't hear his door open.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" screamed Isshin at the top of his lungs. Which caused both Ichigo and Rukia jump from their sleeping positions. Both had blushes forming on their faces from Isshin catching them sleeping together. Isshin was running in circles screaming at the top of his lungs. Tears of joy were pouring down his face.
"Masaki! Can you see that your son has finally become man! Soon we will hear the tiny footsteps of grandchildren running around the house!" exclaimed Isshin. Ichigo and Rukia both turn to the brightest shade of red the world has ever seen.
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM! YOU PREVERT!" screamed Ichigo, giving his father a swift kick in the gut. Which sent Isshin flying out of the room. He, then, turned to Rukia and said "Let's get to Urahana's before my dad comes back."
Twenty minutes later…
"Well, it seems that everyone else is here" Rukia said, before entering the small store. Ichigo just nodded in agreement. They walk to one of the back rooms where they usually met.
"Ah, welcome. Please sit down." Urahana calmly told Ichigo and Rukia. When they both sat down at the table, Urahana continued talking.
"I have already told everyone what roughly happened to you two last night." Urahana said, taking a sip of tea that was in front of him.
Ichigo immediately look over to Rukia after what was said to the group. He saw that she was looking down at the table avoiding eye contact. Her hands form fists that were grabbing onto her baby blue sundress she was wearing. Then, he noticed that no one was speaking or looking at their direction. Even Orihime was quiet. He figured that they already knew what happened last night or at the very least the basics.
"Ichigo, what did you sense about the man that attack you last night?" Urahana ask, knocking him out of his train of thought.
"I never felt a power like his before. It felt so dark and evil. It felt worse than Aizen's. "
"Nor has anyone else has for thousands of years."
"Urahana, what are you talking about?" Ishida ask, pushing his glasses up.
"For you to understand, I must start at the very beginning of the Soul Society itself. It all started about twenty-six thousands years ago, just as early humans mastered the power of fire. When the Royal Family still lived in the Soul Society. At that time, the Royal Family only consisted of the King and his younger brother, Ashtad. Before that time in history, Soul Society played no role in the real world. But when the King learned that hallows began attacking humans. The King declared that all Shinigami's must protect humans from hallows that entered into the real world. Ashtad strongly opposed his brother's edict.
Ashtad claimed 'we should protect the people within Soul Society. We don't have the man power to police both worlds.' but Ashtad's pleas fell on deaf ears.
So, he gathered men that sided with his views and placed Beelzebub at the head of his new army. He launched a rebellion against the King for control of Soul Society. It was a bloody war that lasted for years. The war ended when the King met Ashtad in battle. Ashtad lost the war and was sentence to rule over Hell never to return. But Ashtad vowed that one day he will rage a new war against the King. Soon after, Ashtad cast away his old name and called himself Rajani from then on."
The group remained silent after Urahana finish the story. Letting the information sink into their heads. Then, Ishida look up and said "That sounds like some Christian mythology I've heard."
"Yes, over the years many religions turned Rajani into a demon. Since, Rajani became the tempter of man."
"So, how do we stop him?" Ichigo ask.
"To be honest…I don't know. Rajani is still part of the Royal Family. Which gives him powers that Shingami's can only dream of." Urahana answered.
"The only option I see is to wait for Soul Society decision on this matter."
Meanwhile in Soul Society…
Shingami's were going about their everyday lives. Suddenly a giant gate appears within a courtyard in Soul Society. The gate was solid steel covered with human bones. When the gate opened, a small girl walk into view. The girl was wearing a black hooded cloak that hid most of her face from everyone. There she stood clearly waiting for some high ranking Shinigami to greet her. When captain flash in front of her. That captain was Ukitake that stood in front of the little girl.
"Are you lost little one?" Ukitake gently ask the girl. But the girl remained silent.
"How did you get here?" he ask with a friendly smile. Still the girl remained silent.
"Do mind showing me your face?"
At this the girl's hands moved to her hood. Her hands were covered with dirt and dry blood. She slowly lifted the hood off of her head. But her face was not one any girl should have. For her eyes were sewn shut with steel wire. Her eyelids were covered with bruises and dried blood. But there some blood and pus oozing where the steel wire entered her flesh. Ukitake was taken back by the horror of the girl's face.
"My master, Lord Rajani, requests an audience with the remaining captains of the Thirteen Court Squads." the girl said with a demon like voice. Ukitake didn't have time to respond when he notice two more people coming from the gate.
"It can't be…"
