Just Graduated

Ryuu and his best friend Tsukiko walked out of the Shino Academy, wearing their Shinigami robes. Their Zanpakuto strapped to their hips and Tsukiko jumped in the air. "Come on, Ryuu! We have to meet our new Captain!" Tsukiko's excitement was almost palpable, Ryuu followed her, they Flash Stepped to the 6th Division barracks. They were ushered in with warm welcomes and handshakes.

The Captain's Lieutenant Renji Abarai had just come back from the World of the Living and smiled brightly at the new comers. "Captain Kuchiki! Our new Soul Reapers are here, they graduated top of their class: Tsukiko Yamasaki and Ryuu Tengan!" Lieutenant Abarai called out to Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, as Captain Kuchiki walked out, everyone bowed, honoring his noble status as Head of the Kuchiki Clan.

Captain Kuchiki stared at them disinterestedly, although it did not phase Ryuu or Tsukiko's excitement. "Have you achieved the Shikai form of your Zanpakuto?" Kuchiki spoke in an even more disinterested tone.

"Yes, Captain!" They said in unison.

"Demonstrate." Kuchiki commanded the two young Shinigami.

Immediately, Tsukiko and Ryuu pulled out their Zanpakuto. Tsukiko lifted her Zanpakuto to the sky, "Bring the Skies to Darkness, Munsurieya!" The skies began to darken and Tsukiko's Zanpakuto began to shine, a gorgeous moonlight colour and her sword changed, the guard of Munsureiya became silver delicate swirls, her blade didn't change, but it was glowing white.

Ryuu pointed his blade down and said in a deathly calm voice, "Reap the Heavens, Tengoku Piasodoragon." Ryuu pierced the ground with his blade, the ground shook, all of the 6th Divison Shinigami (except Captain Kuchiki, Tsukiko, Renji and Ryuu) were losing their balance. Ryuu pulled the tip of Tengoku Piasodoragon's blade out and fire exploded from the crack, it immediately wrapped around the blade of Ryuu's Zanpakuto, his guard changed, becoming a dragon tail, the heat from the fire whipping around his body, ruffling his hair and lifting his Shinigami robes. The fire seeped into Ryuu's blade, making it burn with the light of a thousand suns, his blade should have melted with the immense heat, but to Kuchiki's surprise it didn't.

Byakuya stared at the two Shinigami. 'They must be powerful to wield such dangerous Zanpakuto's. One can influence the sky, weather and moon. The other can influence the sun's heat and a dragon's fierceness. They will be good for this investigation.' Captain Kuchiki said his thoughts. "Yamasaki, Tengan. I will give you this assignment, my Lieutenant has just handed in a report of many Hollow sightings, Lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki of Squad 13 and Substitute Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki have confirmed this suspicion, I am sending you to the World of the Living to get to the bottom of this Hollow problem."

"Yes Captain!" Tsukiko and Ryuu said in unison.

The World of the Living was a beautiful place. The Soul Society was beautiful too, but Karakura Town was a different kind of beautiful. Tsukiko was grinning from ear to ear as she danced out of the Senkaimon. Ryuu walked out with an easy grace, a lazy smile playing upon his lips. "What does he want us here for?" Ryuu asked as he dug in his Shinigami robes and pulled out a bag of rice balls, eating them one after the other. The Senkaimon faded.

"Weren't you listening, Ryuu?! Captain Kuchiki sent us out here on a mission! To find out why the Hollows are gathering here, he wanted us to confer with Lady Rukia and the Substitute Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki. The famous human who defeated Sosuke Aizen." Tsukiko said in her know-it-all voice as she listens because Ryuu would never remember half of things she has said.

"Yeah...I'm going to find out what Captain Zaraki is doing here." Ryuu started to fly away and Tsukiko spluttered unintelligible before following her best friend and partner, before she ended up hurting him.

"Only for a little while. Then we go and find Lady Rukia and Mr Kurosaki."

"Who?"

"RYUU!"

Then Munsureiya was unleashed along with Tengoku Piasodoragon.

Ichigo Flash Stepped as quick as he could, needing to get Orihime to safety before Zaraki could hurt her.

As Orihime's house came into view, he Flash Stepped in and saw the entire house destroyed, Zaraki's Spiritual Pressure still lingered in Orihime's house, but Orihime's wasn't there, Ichigo couldn't sense her anywhere.

"Ichigo! I'm sensing two new Spiritual Pressure's! They're...powerful...very powerful!" Rukia informed him, her Lieutenant's badge gleaming in the soft light.

"Okay, lets go find those two. They might be with Zaraki." He spoke the name with obvious rage.

Rukia and Ichigo then went in search of both Spiritual Pressures, that rivaled Ichigo's.

Even Kenpachi Zaraki's himself.
