Chapter 5: The Legend Starts Here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Bleach characters.

Haruto after leaving Daichi's house decided that he would go to sector 38 of the northern side. The reason for that was he decided to travel in a circle spiraling outward. Like how he would go to the sector 39 of the western side after 38 and then to sector 40 of the south side and so on. While staying with Daichi, he had already studied the basics of the kido from the large tome Daichi gave him to read.

He found that there were three basic branches in using kido. They are the Way of Binding: Bakudo, Way of Destruction: Hado and the healing spells. Each type of kido had a range of spells from 1 to 99. Higher the number in the kido the greater the power required and higher is the control required for doing the spell. Also higher number makes it difficult to use the spells without incantations. The technique used for using the spells without incantation is called Eishōhaki.

He also found another method to power up the spells by saying the incantation after casting the spells. It will be useful for binding some one powerful. This is known as Ryūbi no Jōmon. He also found that the power behind the spell is very important. Even low level spells if powered will cause devastating effect. He got few other spells from Daichi and also got some contacts from Daichi. It seems he had contact all around Rukongai. The next spell he selected was a healing spell. He decided if he were to get injured he must be able at least heal small cuts and bruises. The control required for the spell is very high for a simple healing spell. But, thankfully by meditation he was able to control his reiatsu to a point where he was able to do the healing spell.

He also got a book on basic history of Soul Society and also a book on the human anatomy. Since the body is similar to human body, the vital points are the same. He wanted to learn as he will soon be wielding real swords and he doesn't want to hurt anyone badly. He also learned from Daichi that there were two people who were famous now. They are Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake. Apparently they were trained by the captain commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto himself and achieved the state of captain. They had also their own division which they command themselves.

He improved himself in the area of hoho and was able to flash step decent distance. He didn't get tired easily as before, but long distance flash step took him a lot out of him. The only area where he was lacking was hand to hand combat. Since Daichi too was mediocre at the best he was not able to teach him that much. Only the basics and the body conditioning required for it. He practiced punches and kicks over the bark of the tree in the clearing. But he had some scrolls and books on different fighting style. He knew that without proper trainer you can't be good enough.

As he was remembering these things, he didn't notice he was near the exit of sector 37 and the enterance to the sector 38.

"I hope it will not be as adventurous as my previous life." Well you know what happens when some one says that.

As he entered the sector 38 he found that it was similar to the sector 37. There was almost no difference between the two sectors, similar buildings and people, kids running and playing.

When it was midday when he found a small ramen stand. He sat on the stool and ordered one vegetable ramen. The shop was empty save him and the owner. While he was eating he saw two kids who would come around waist height were eyeing the food hungrily. He saw that and called them.

"Come here kids." When they hesitated to come, "I am not going to hurt you. Come here."

They eyed each other and had a silent conversion. The boy nodded to the girl and they came to him. He motioned them to sit on the stool. They sat on the stool after some help. He also told the shop owner to give them what they need. When they were eating he started a conversation.

"What are your names?"

The boy with brown hair and brown eyes said "Sanji."

The girl with blond hair and blue eyes said, "Nami."

"Do you live alone?"

"No. We live with our friend over there. But only we two of us become hungry often. Others eat once a week."

"Okay. Tell you what I will give some money to the shop owner here and you can eat a meal per day without paying up."

The two kids were shocked would be an understatement. Here is this guy whom they had seen for the first time not only brought them food but also saying that they would get food for free for next several months. He also warned the shop owner by leaking some of his reiatsu and spiking up the spiritual pressure. He found that normal souls cannot withstand the spiritual pressure that well.

"It will be done isn't it shop owner. Don't get any funny ideas. You will regret it."

The shop owner who had trouble breathing said, "Yes. It will be done."

"Thank you. Thank you." The kids thanked him.

They repeatedly thanked Haruto. Then the girl with wide blue eyes asked what his name was.

"Haruto Kuromori."

"Haruto-san our friend is not feeling well. Can you help her?"

"I will do what I can."

After eating they dragged him to a run down building. When he entered he saw three other kids all huddled over a girl with brown hair and blue eyes. He quickly pulled out the reiatsu and diagnosed. He found that the girl had high fever from the infection at her leg, where there was long gash. He didn't ask what happened. He used the kido to first revive her low reiatsu and healed the wound and cleared the infection. The fever was brought down immediately.

"She will asleep for few hours. Don't disturb her and when she wakes, give her something warm." The girl he met earlier nodded her head.

"Okay. Then I will be going. Be good."

With that he shouldered his backpack and started walking towards the next sector. While walking, he could see the shinigami wearing black dress similar to his bar the coat were patrolling the streets to maintain the order. But he could see that they were young recruits who have practically no field experience. Also there was no one supervising them. They were just moving up and down the street. He also learned from the people that the shinigami thought that they were superior to others and these people were beneath them.

As he was walking he saw that the sun was slowly sinking beneath the land and also there was a small pub which had inn. He was also thought that he had only drunk once at Bill's wedding and that had been only one shot and it was not nice. But, he curious and went inside the bar.

He saw that there were 4 shinigami sitting one of the tables and was chatting. Other than that there were only two more people at the back. He sat on the stool facing away from the shinigami his back to them and ordered one bottle. He didn't know what to order at first , so he ordered one that the shinigami were drinking. The bartender was an old man and brought a bottle of sake and a small saucer. He took a tentative sip and it burned slightly at the throat. So, he started to drink. He could not help but overhear them talking about shinigami matters.

"So, did anyone of you obtain the shikai?"

"No. I have been trying to obtain it for years now. But this stupid sword won't say its name."

"Same here. But some say that you only receive if you are in life threatening situation."

"Really. Hey, did you know that Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake are the two people to wield dual Zanpakuto?"

"Yeah I heard that. Also they were trained personally by So-Taichio."

"I hope I become captain one day."

"Are you kidding me? You have to obtain Bankai and master it or you must beat another captain and win in a one on one dual."

"Man that sucks. You ruined my dream."

With that they got up and walked out of the bar. From the look on the old man's face he knew that they didn't pay for their drinks. After another bottle he decided that the sake was not bad but it was not that good either.

"Is there any rooms available?"

"Yes there are rooms available. Haw many days will you be staying?'

"Only for the night." He replied.

The old man gave the key to the room on the first floor. He took his bag and went for the room. The room had one single bed at the middle and there was a wardrobe and also another door which he assumed would lead to the bathroom. He then dropped the bag and went to take a shower. When he sat on his bed he watched through the window that the sun had already gone down.

For some reason he suddenly thought of occlumency. He thought there wouldn't be any need for that. But, he remembered seeing a kido which could form a barrier so no one else could see what is behind it. So, he decided that occlumency is a must. The occlumency not only prevents mind reading but also deduct the illusion. During his seventh year he was saved by this ability once. So, he sat cross legged and started to meditate. It seems he was a bit rusty in occlumency. The other thing is it helps to control his reiatsu relatively easier.

He attained the state of no thoughts and then he sorted through the memories after he came to the soul society. He found that his Zanpakuto reside in different area other than his thoughts. After completing the exercise, he was very tired and so he decided to get some rest. He was asleep within few minutes.

Next day Haruto woke up before dawn as it was his habit he picked up with his stay with Daichi. After finishing his morning ritual he came to his bed and started to meditate. After that he started on occlumency and sorted his thoughts. He started with his previous life and since it was already sorted to an extent in his previous life, it was much easier. By the time he finished his sorting and opened his eyes the sun had started to rise. He started on the push ups and squats. He had increased and doubled the repetition compared to what he used to do at the beginning of his training.

After finishing the work out, he took a shower and started packing. He locked the door with the key and went down stairs to check out. When he went down it seems breakfast was being served. So, he ordered something to eat and then gave the key to the bar tender. He could see that some were drinking. He didn't understand why in morning some one would drink alcohol. But, he left it at that and went out in the streets.

Soon after walking some time about an hour or so he reached the exit and entered sector 39. Compared to sector 37 the buildings were just bit poorer, but not a noticeable difference. As he walked down he noticed everything seemed similar to that of previous sectors. He continued the same routine by helping the kids on the street, some time buying them food and other times he was healing the kids. He didn't realize it that time but he was slowly making his name among the younger generation. He collected more information about the current happenings inside Seireitei by the shinigami who were drinking in the bar.

As he was going deeper into Rukongai he noticed the Shinigami patrol became less and less. Also there were fights among the people. He also learned and mastered the first in Bakudo, which was Sai. He could use it without any incantation. He also progressed in hoho a little bit. At a sudden inspiration he slightly tweaked the first Hado: thrust. He observed that the beam tend to fan out after some distance and the damage done is reduced by it. He imagined the beam to be narrow and concentrated into a cylinder instead of a cone. The result was interesting to say the least. Where as before it would leave burn mark and dent, now it forms a hole in that tree.

The fights between people started to increase and the order and morality was becoming low. He also kept in contact with some of the contacts of Daichi and gave them money to take care of the kids at the streets. He don't know why he was doing it but when he saw the kids in rags, he would remember the unloved days with Durseley's. He saw himself in them, wanting some attention and care. He didn't know that Durseleys would leave such a mark in him.

'No use in mulling over what happened. Let me see this says the bar must be around here some where.'

He found the bar he was looking for, which was a contact for Daichi here in sector 49. As he entered the bar he noticed that the locals were there and there was a group of 7 shinigami sitting in the middle of bar talking and leering at the waitress at the table. He ignored this and went for the bar tender. He gave a small slip of paper and he understood the need. Some food, lodging and a list of next ten kido spells. He also ordered some sake to drink.

As he was about to drink there was some commotion from the table where the shinigami were drinking. He saw that Shinigami were harassing the waitress. Leering and snide comments is bad enough but physically harassing is a definite no. Another thing is criminal who do this is different matter, but these people responsible for maintaining the order making this made him more than angry. But he calmly walked to them. The whole bar was watching this.

"Pardon me shinigami-san. But you must come back when you are sober, because you are drunk and may do some things we both may regret."

The leader who was a fat man hotly replied with spit spluttering from his mouth "What did you say you brat? The only one who is going to regret is you who interrupted our party."

During the commotion the girl had fled the scene. This made them angry even more and one raised his hand and cocked his fist to beat him. Haruto saw this and grabbed his wrist and threw him over the table. Thanks to his physical practice he was able to do this.

As they were drawing their swords he removed the bokken from his back pack. He knew that they were no match to the real sword. The reason he didn't buy any real sword was that he didn't feel like wielding any other than his Zanpakuto. He only deflected or dodged instead of blocking. He dispatched two of them with ease and kicked the third in his temple knocking him out cold.

The other two worked together and effectively broke his bokken. When that happened, he was momentarily distracted and the fat man brought down the sword to finish him off. His only option is to deflect it with his bare hands.

Suddenly he was whisked from reality and he opened his eyes to see the clearing in his mind. The difference is that there was a blazing blue flame on one side and there was a roaring wind on the other side. Then all of a sudden from the blue flame emerged a red and golden phoenix with golden eye and from the tornado flew out a massive black dragon with black sclera and white pupil slit at the middle. They both landed in front of him and said in one voice.

"It is time for you to wield us."

Next thing he knew, there was a loud clang and in his each hands were a katana.

"Where the hell did that sword came from?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out."

With the sword he cut and sliced the chest of the two and cut the stomach of the fat man.

"You should have listened to me."

With that he knocked out the fat man with the hilt of his sword. Then to every body's surprise he healed the other two people whom he sliced open. Every one was starring at him as if he had grown another head.

"Only one is needed to teach them a lesson."

Then he asked the least expected question ignoring the fight completely and the unconscious people on the ground.

"Is there any room available for a night?"

Please review.
