Bleach 2 part 1

Two days later…..

Rukia sat in a tree that was inside the Compound of the Sixth squad. The last two days had been rushed, first hollows attack her squads barracks, then it turns out the reason the Hollows were there in the first place was because they were chasing a Caravan from the real world to the Soul Society, not only that it was a royal Caravan carrying the heir to Shihouion house. Rukia hadn't got any information on who was in the Caravan but she knew who ever it was had lots of status. Although the casualties had been few it was still nerve wrecking, the amount of paper work was tremendous and now Captain Commander said that the Shihouion house was supposed be sending representatives to talk to her about what happened.

Rukia leaned her head against the tree and signed, who would have guess a year into being Captain this would have happened. Why this couldn't happen to one of the other squads…..It figures it's just my luck, she thought. She looked off into the distance, what would the representatives want to talk about? There wasn't much too tell, she had arrived just in time to save one of her own suburbanites from a hollow, then a friend of the person she had just saved came over Carrying the girl. What more could they want to know? I put everything in the report….she put her hand to her head and closed her eyes. Ugh…..why me?

Rukia breathed Deep and let her hand slide from her face and slowly opened her eyes. She began to close them back when she saw something dark out of the corner of her eye, she looked to her left and there standing on a nearby building was a cloaked figure. Rukia quickly stood up and instantly reached for her sword. What the hell….who is that. She watched the cloaked figure, which did nothing but continue to watch her from beneath a hood. Every muscle in her body was telling her to spring forward and attack but since the figure had made no hostile moves Rukia thought it best to watch and see. Fives minutes later the Figure continued to do nothing, Rukia began to relax and decided to take a wait and see approach when without warning the figure vanished.

"Shit!"

Rukia barely had enough time to move before she felt the looming presence of someone standing behind her. He's fast……amazingly fast… Rukia felt a hand reach out and touch her shoulder.

" My, my…….Are the Gotei thirteen letting everyone become Captains now a day?"

" W-who the hell are you?" asked Rukia

" Tsk, tsk, not so fast Kuchiki Taicho" whispered the person " Who I am is not important but the person your people rescued last night is?"
Rukia frowned in Confusing the girl…….

"Bastard, what do you know about what happened last night?," she asked " Was that yo-,"
"No, it wasn't" interjected the stranger " But I can help you find out who it was, on one condition."

Rukia frowned.

"Which is?"

The stranger chuckled and leaned close to Rukia's ear.

"Keep your see me a secret, cause if you don't …..you might Alert the person you're looking for that you're on to them, and we wouldn't want that would we?"

"And if I refuse?" said Rukia

"Then I fear for you…..and the Society."

Rukia felt the hand of the stranger reach around to her neck and grab asmall chain that was there. Rukia watched as the hand pulled the chain up till it revealed what hung at the end.

" Oho?......You still have his token?" the lowered his voice to a whisper " It's too bad he's dead no?"

At this Rukia shunpo from the where she was and reappeared a little way from the tree.

"Destructive spell 33: sōkatsui!"

A blast of blue fire shot from Rukia out stretched hand like a rocket on the tree where the Stranger still stood. The blast destroyed the tree blowing it into bits , Rukia landed a 100 yards away breathing hard in angry. When the cloud from the dust settled there was nothing remaining but hot earth and smoking bits of tree. Rukia didn't need search for a body, she knew anyone who could move that fast was already gone. She reached up to her neck and grabbed the dangling chain and tightened her hand around it.

Bastard……tha-that bastard……I-I need to calm down, I shouldn't have over reacted….she looked down at the necklace in her hand then back at the crater where the tree once stood. …….That asshole knows something about what happen here last night……..an-and maybe something about that night as well. I don't want to trust him but…Rukia looked down at her hand, she closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her check. Ichigo...…….

Bleach 2 Parts 2

Rukia rushed inside after her eventful encounter with the mysterious stranger, she hurried inside but not before being confronted by her second in command and a few others. After reassuring them that she ok and that she had over shot a kido blast, she rushed to her Office. Rukia heart was pounding but she didn't know why, the stranger never mention Ichigo by name but some how she felt as if he knew what he was talking about when he lifted the necklace from her shirt. She slowly looked down at her trembling hand that was still holding the necklace; she bit her lower lip and looked away from it. Ichigo………why….why did you have to……have to di-

"Yo, Rukia" someone said.

Rukia jumped at the sound of the strange voice and quickly let her hand drop on to her sword.

"Whoa, whoa, cool shorty!, it's just Renji."

"Renji?" said Rukia, she quickly removed her hands from her hilt and rested them gently at her sides, there leaning in the door way was Renji. He was third squad Captain now since the war and ass arrogant as ever with a few modifications. He wasn't as high sprung and he had let his hair grow out so it wasn't wrapped up in spike pony tail. In all honesty Rukia wasn't too surprised to see him given what had happened the night before but all the same she still hadn't expected him to show.

"A little high sprung don't you think?" joked Renji

" B-baka! You know better than to walk in like that without knocking."

Renji sighed and shrugged.

"Yeah I do but I figured I'd surprise you." Renji walked over and sat on the edge of Rukia desk and motioned with his head for her to sit down. Rukia slowly walked over to her seat and sat down still clutching the necklace.

"I figured you were under a lot of pressure so I thought I'd come over and check up on you." Renji paused "I heard about the whole hollow incident."

Rukia looked away from him for a moment and sighed. Renji had been made a Captain several years before her and he made it a point to check on her from time to time which she appreciated and didn't. She wasn't the same Rukia anymore she could look after herself.

"Renji I appreciate, you looking out for me but I'm a Captain now I can-"

"Actually I'm here because I the representative for the Shihouin house, well kinda... See after the incident my squad was told to protect the caravan to its destination."

"Uh huh" said Rukia

" And then they demanded that since there was uncertainty of the hollow attacks continuing at the palace they pressured the old man to give them add reinforcements." He sighed and ran his fingers through his red hair. " So the old man chose yours' truly to be…

"Their babysitter….." chuckled Rukia

"Shut it." Renji snapped.

"Anyway I in charge of their security until they're convinced that the hollows aren't gonna follow them to the royal palace."

"That's great Renji, thanks for telling me you're a babysitter, but not to get off topic what does that have t do with me."

"Well it really, it's about you…" started Renji "It's about the young man and woman you rescued that night."

Rukia cocked and eyebrow up at Renji.

"What about them?"
"They're my daughter and her best friend Nakano Kuristian, both skilled fighters."

Rukia mouth almost dropped when she heard what Renji had said, his daughter??

"You mean that girl is your kid??!"
"Yeah why?"

"Well….no reason, I suppose….I mean"

"She looks just like her daddy huh?" smiled Renji

"No that just it, she beautiful if anything I thought she look like a wildebeest just like her father."

Renji's smiled faded and Rukia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

" Ha ha very funny" growled Renji."Seriously Rukia, I need you to work with me on this.

"Yes (cough) of course" said Rukia calming down "So exactly what you want with them?"

"The princess of the Shihouin family has requested them to be her personal body guards due to their bravery that night; they are to report in as soon as they are well enough too."

Rukia raised both eyebrows, and then frowned. Personally body guards?......but she barely even knows them why would she choose them…..it doesn't make senses….Rukia mind spun back to the mysterious stranger and how he mentioned "the person they were looking for".

Things….are starting to get weird again………

"Oi, Rukia?" said Renji "You heard?"

Rukia blinked, quickly coming out of her own personal thoughts and looked up at Renji.

"Yeah, yeah I heard you" she responded "I'll be sure to let them know"

Renji smiled and headed for the door, Rukia watched as he walked out and closed the door behind him. She placed her hand to her face and sighed, too many things were happing at once. Before it was a couple of rough hollows then a man in a cloaked garment, and now it was direct involvement with a noble house. ……..Its' almost…..no perhaps I'm over thinking it but, still……..She looked down at her necklace still in her hand. I better be cautious, something big is gonna to happen and soon.

A cloaked figure stood on a hill over a small town that lay to the north east of the Seireitei. He stood in a peaceful silence, completing the events of the day that was about to past. He had meant with the newly appointed 6th squad Captain early that day and had given her a warning of the danger that was undeniably luring at the Seireitei's threshold. He watched as the sun set behind the Seireitei giving it the appearance of a majestic white crown, he breathed deep and shook his head.

…..how long has it been…….too long….too long since I've seen a scene like this……too long since I…I…..

The man's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind him. He slowly looked over his shoulder to see a fairly older man standing not too far behind him with blond hair and green hat on. The man smiled and turned to face the new comer.

"Kisuke …."

Kisuke looked and smiled and walked over.

"Yo, I figured you'd be here….brooding as usual."

The man smiled then turned and looked back toward the Court of pure souls, Urahara walked up beside him and looked on.

"Did you alert the Gotei 13 of the danger?"

"Yes and no" said the man

Urahara lifted an eye brow and looked questioningly at his friend.

"I…I saw her today………."

"Ah…I see so that would explain your being here, tonight."

The man fell silent and looked off into the distance. Kisuke place a hand on the man shoulder and shook it gently.

"We're gonna find him….and finish this."

" I don't know, the way things have been going, we'd need a change for us to get the upper hand and given the way the Soul society functions I doubt we'll get much help from them."

Now it was Urahara that fell silent.

"The truth of the matter is here he's supposedly one of them so already he has the upper hand-."

"And so do we!" said Kisuke, "Remember it was you who gathered the survivors of that horrible tradaity and it was you that kept us together this whole time…..Kurosaki-san we've come too far for you to let it all go to waste now.

Ichigo breathed deep and slowly removed the hood revealing his orange spiked hair; he slowly looked over at Urahara and gave him a small smile which he returned.

"No said it was going to be easy but, this is the best course of action if we are to protect the real world and the soul society."

" …..Yeah……your right." Ichigo said nodding slowly. "Is everyone gathered?"

Urahara nodded.

"Alright then, let's go we have much to discuss." Ichigo said turning and walking down the hill. Urahara watched for a moment and shook his head at his young friend. You've grown up so much and yet not at all Kurosaki Ichigo…..

" Sooooo, they want us to babysit? That's what you're telling me right now, right?"

Usagi face-palmed herself and signed, she knew this was going to happen. Earlier that day the Captain had called Usagi to her office and explained to her that she and Kuristian had been requested to report to the Shihouin family grounds to become new body guards for the girl they saved that night, whom happened to be the next heir in line to Shihouin house. Now this was all well and good and Usagi was more than pleased to follow out her orders and complete her mission but the really problem was convincing Kuristian that the mission was somehow manly, which why it was taking her half an hour rather than two minutes get started on her first mission.

"Look, Kuristian it's our first mission! And what's more we're gonna be royal body guards for the Shihouin princess! I mean come on; it doesn't get much better than that!"

Kuristian face dropped into a plain glaze.

"You mean, we're gonna be royal ass munchers for the rest of our lives and that we're gonna be babysitting a royal snobby brat for the next hundred years!"

" My God!!! Why you are so difficult get your ass out of the bed and let's go!"

Kuristian pulled the covers over his head and sunk back in his bed.

"I'm not going!"

Usagi gritted her teeth together in frustration, Kuristian was the only person other than her father that could drive her to madness and Kuristian knew. She reframed from using the sheath of her sword as a weapon and beating him with it. He had just gotten out the hospital a week earlier due to his constant trying to escape and whining about needles, and she swore if he wasn't still kind of injured she would be beating him right now.

"Nakano Kuristian!!!!"
"Abarai Usagi!!?"

" Teme!!" Usagi growled, "That's it! You are so dead!" Usagi shouted and jumped on to Kuristian's' bed and proceeded to beat him with her fists.

"You're coming with me!!!" she shouted tinning up the end of the blanket " Even if I have to drag your big ass there!"

"I'm not going!, I signed up to fight hollows protect the soul society and drink sake!" shouted Kuristian " Not to be a freaking ROALY BABYSITTER!!!"

Kuristian stuck out from the top of the make-shift cocoon that Usagi tied him in and wrapped his arms around his bed. Thus a tug of war began between the two as Usagi was hell bent on taking Kuristian to their first mission and Kuristian was equally hell bent on not going.

"You two are the saddest sight to see you know that ?" said voice.

Both young people looked up from their tussle toward the direction from which the voice came, standing at the front door was Renji.

" Daddy?"(Unison)

" Renji-san?" (Unison)

Renji closed his eyes in frustration and walked into the room.

" I know you two don't see me as one but I am a Captain, so call me…"

Renji was cut off as Usagi threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Daddy!!, I've missed you so much." She squeaked "You never come and see me anymore."

Renji rolled his eyes; it was like she hadn't heard anything he had said before about calling him Abarai Taichou. He sighed and rested his large hand on his daughters head and stroked her hair soothingly.

" I know, I know ….I've been busy." Renji looked over at Kuristian who was still trying to untangle himself from the sheet.

"And from the looks of it you've been too." Renji chuckled. "So you kids ready for your first mission?"

"Huh….well kinda" said Usagi shooting Kuristian and evil look. "If only someone would come with me to report in!"

Renji raised and Eye brow and looked over at Kuristian who was now free from the sheet and sitting on the bed.

"I told you, I'm not interested." Snapped Kuristian, "There's no way I'm going to be a babysitter for a royal brat."

Ah though Renji I forgot that the boy thinks almost like I do…(chuckles) I don't blame him, I called it the same thing, and I was grouchy and reluctant to go too but he's got to do his duty.

Renji was distracted for a moment as Usagi leaped from his lap on to Kuristian and the two began to tussle once more, apparently they had been exchanging words while Renji was deep in thought, he watched at Kuristian left Usagi up and threw her on to his bed at which she screeched and proceed to kick him in the balls. Renji shook his head in silence and continued to think. ……hmmm giving Kuristian a speech won't work but maybe ……..wait ! That's it!.......I know what to do.

Renji smiled and went to get up and say something to Kuristian but he was meant with a pillow to the face that sent him flying back into his chair.

" Oi!!" shouted Renji removing the pillow from his face but his shout was only meant with another pillow to the face and some unpleasant comment from either of the two young people as their battle raged on. At this point Renji was beginning to lose his patience.

"Kuristian!!!, Usagi!!! SO HELP ME IF YOU TWO DON'T SETTLE DOWN IN THE NEXT 3 THREE SECOND GOD HIMSELF WON'T SAVE FROM THE ASS BEATING TO COME!"

Suddenly the room got deafly quite and both Kuristian and Usagi were knelt down in humble positions as if they were at school. They remember all too well the tone of voice Renji had just used, it was the tone he used right before he would proceed to wax their asses and since they were older now they were in no rush for him to do it now.

"That's better" Renji sighed; He looked over Usagi then back at Kuristian.

"Ok first things first, Usagi leave Kuristian alone about going to the Shihouin house."

"Fine….wait how do you-." stammered Usagi.

"Because I'm the Captain you all were supposed to report too, that's way I know" interjected Renji, " And Second Kuristian if you don't come your gonna miss out on the buffet of fine foods and drinks and the beautiful women."

" Heh, I' not gonna be anyo-………wait did you say food, sake, and Women?"

" Yup" smiled Renji.

" You've got to be kidding me" (-_-) said Usagi

There was a rush of wind as Kuristian rushed past both Abarais and down the hallway, he looked over his shoulder and shouted back.

"Then why didn't you say so!!!?"

Usagi and Renji both looked out of the door of Kuristian's room just in enough time to see him rounding the corner and disappearing out of sight. Usagi looked up to her beaming father with a ( -_-) face.

"There's really no food or drink is there?" she asked.

"Yeah, there food there" said Renji " I just never said it was for him…I said he'd miss it."

Usagi giggled and shook her head.
"He's gonna hate you forever you know that ?"

"Ah, he'll be fine," smiled Renji "Now come on, let's go before he goes and gets himself killed.

In the 12th squad barracks…..Two figures are talking outside the research facility

"This has have better be important" said the man standing in the shadow of the door way of the Research Facility, "What do you want?"

The cloaked figure bowed and processed to present his message
"I've found a hole in the enemy defenses…..a way to get the girl"

"Really….so Have I!!, now you better tell me something I don't know or the others are going to be scraping you off the wall!"

"And I've found a way to frame someone else for her disappearance… and to keep both the Shinigami and…..him busy and away from you and your plans."

The man was quite for a moment before smiling.

"I'm listening ...…."

To be continued.
