A/N: Congrats who ever guessed correctly... it is who you think it is (I knew people would guess correctly)... expect a lot of Toshiro/Soul Reaper I picked in future chapters
Chapter 17: The 2nd Soul Reaper
"Three Years ago… a strange event happened in Tokyo, a large pulse of spiritual energy appeared in the middle of Tokyo. This event attracted a large amount of Hollows and an ensuing battle raged for several days. After much research it was discovered that this release was caused by a girl named Haruhi Suzumiya. We at the 12th Division watched her form afar and from this were able to gather interesting information about her. It appears that pending on her emotions she is able to alter realty to her liking." explained Captain Kurotsuchi.
"How is that even possible?" asked the soul reaper chosen for the mission.
"We had many theories, all were proven false until recently." explained Captain Kurotsuchi.
"It was recently discovered that Haruhi Suzumiya is the reincarnation of the Princess of the Sun… also better known as Sailor Sun. While her past life knew about her powers it was decided that in this life for the time being that she would remain completely obvious to them." explained Commander Yamamoto.
"So my mission is to protect her while aiding her and the other Sailor Senshi?" asked the Soul Reaper.
"Yes and no." said Commander General Yamamoto, "You to obverse her and to make she doesn't accidentally destroy the world. You see we are not the only ones who watch over her."
"What do you mean?" asked the Soul Reaper.
"At Haruhi's school she created a club called the S.O.S. Brigade, which comprised of herself, a Time Traveler from what we believe to be around 1,000 years in future named Mikuru Asahina, an "ESPer" named Itsuki Koizumi, a Humanoid Interface of the Integrated Data Thought Entity Yuki Nagato and Kyon, who is a normal human on the surface however we don't have that much information… like what his name." explained Yamamoto.
"I have heard some things about the club, I'm not quite clear at what it does, but I have heard that she for some reasons forces some members to wear ridiculous costumes." said Toshiro.
"Are you joking Shiro?" asked the Soul Reaper.
Toshiro sighed… as some of the captains tried not to laugh.
"You are to reveal yourself as a Soul Reaper to the other members but not to Haruhi herself." explained Captain Yamamoto.
"Why?" asked the Soul Reaper.
"One is that Yuki Nagato is a Sailor Senshi and has become a sort of Liaison between us and the Integrated Data Thought Entity. Another is that you would gain suspicion among the other three members of the S.O.S. Brigade if you do not reveal yourself." explained Toshiro.
"I understand." said the Soul Reaper.
"Very well, you will follow Captain Kurotsuchi to get your Gigai then you will meet with Lieutenant Kusajishi to get your Gikongan." explained General Commander Yamamoto.
"May I accompany her?" asked Toshiro.
"You may." said Commander General Yamamoto.
"Good." said Toshiro.
Sometime later at Orihime's apartment, Orihime, Rukia, Rangiku, Luna, Seiya and Yuki all waited to see who was the new Sailor Senshi.
"Why is Yuki here?" asked Orihime.
"Yuki is spiritual aware so she knows about the Soul Society." said Rukia.
"Oh I didn't know that about you!" said Orihime.
Yuki who was reading her book just nodded then went back to it.
"So who you two think will be the next Senshi?" asked Rangiku.
"I don't know." said Orihime.
"I haven't really thought about it." said Rukia with a shrug.
"I have an idea." said Rangiku, "Nanao."
"Nanao?" Why her?" asked Rukia.
"Well I'm sure Captain Kyoraku would suggest her and she would take it to take a vacation from him." explained Rangiku.
"I can see that." sisal Rukia.
That's when Toshiro opened the door.
"Good Yuki's here." he muttered, he was clearly in some sort of bad mood, "Rukia, do you have that exploitation on what Soul Reapers do on you?"
"I do." said Rukia.
She took out her sketch book and gave it to Toshiro. He turned to Yuki and asked her, "Can you follow me outside?"
Yuki closed her book and followed Toshiro outside.
The others followed them outside where they saw Yuki, Toshiro and the Soul Reaper discussing the plans. The Soul Reaper and Yuki then left together.
"Did anyone see her face?" asked Orihime.
Everyone shook their heads no.
"She was too short to be Nanao, so there goes my theory." said Rangiku.
Toshiro walked back towards them and said, "I'm going to the roof. I would like it if you don't disturb me." said Toshiro.
Toshiro left and it was then Rangiku knew who the Soul Reaper was.
"I know who she is." said Rangiku, "There is only one girl that can get him this upset."
Everyone else was confused, but then Rukia remember the stories and realized who it was.
"I'm surprised they picked her." said Rukia.
"I know. With all that happened during your near execution." said Rangiku.
"Near Execution?" asked Luna and Seiya with big sweat drops.
"I never told you did I?" asked Rukia.
"No… no you didn't." said Seiya with a big sweat drop.
The next day, at North High, Mr. Ogata, the home room teacher for Haruhi's class made an announcement.
"Today we have a new student." he said.
Kyon sighed, he turned around and saw Haruhi looked existed.
"Another mysterious transfer student." she said.
"You may come in now." said Mr. Ogata.
The door opened and a girl with brown hair tied into a bun inside of a cloth. She gave a polite bow.
"Hello, my name is Momo Hinamori. It's a pleasure to meet you all." she said with a smile.
Kyon noticed the strangely empty seat next to Haruhi…
"You may sit next to Haruhi, Momo." said Mr. Ogata.
"Okay." said Momo who took the seat next to Haruhi.
"We need to talk after school." Haruhi whispered to Momo.
"Okay." said Momo.
"That poor girl." thought Kyon.
That lunch Haruhi sent out a message to all the Senshi saying that that, she, Yuki and Mikuru couldn't attend the meeting that day because of brigade business, which made everyone who heard it sweat drop.
That afternoon, the 4 members of the S.O.S. Brigade waited for Haruhi; she came into the room dragging Momo.
"Okay members! Meet our newest member! Momo Hinamori!" yelled Haruhi.
"Hello." said Momo with a sweat drop.
"Welcome to the S.O.S. Brigade." said Tatsuki with a polite bow.
"You know Kyon, this is Itsuki Koizumi, the second in command, Mikuru Asahina our mascot and Yuki Nagato, our irreplaceable silent character!" yelled Haruhi doing some sort introduction.
"So what is this club?" asked Momo.
"The job of the S.O.S. Brigade is find Time Travelers, ESPers, Aliens and Ghosts and hang out with them!" yelled Haruhi.
"Since when has ghosts been a part of it?" asked Kyon.
Before Haruhi could answer there was a knock at the door. She opened it and it was the computer club president.
"Excuse me Haruhi me and the other presidents would like to talk to you." said the Computer Club president.
"Fine…" muttered Haruhi.
She left to discus this matter whatever it was with the other club presidents.
Itsuki breathed a sigh of relief then turned his attention towards Momo.
"You're here to obverse Haruhi aren't you?" asked Itsuki.
Momo nodded, "That's right." said Momo, "I'm a Soul Reaper."
"A Soul Reaper?" asked Kyon.
Momo nodded and took out a sketch book.
"You see there are two kinds of Soul that walk the earth. Hollows and Wholes." said Momo showing purify… of bunnies and teddy bears, with bunnies reposting wholes and teddy bears presenting Hollows, "Wholes are normal ghosts, while Hollows are warped souls that eat souls. It is a Soul Reapers duty to guide Wholes to the after life and to exterminate Hollows. Any questions?"
"What's with the pictures?" asked Kyon.
"I barrowed them from another Soul Reaper. I didn't have much time to prepare this." said Momo with a big sweat drop.
"I see." said Kyon.
"Does this have to with Karakura Town?" asked Itsuki.
"Yes it does." said Momo with a nod, "Karakura Town has an abnormally high amount of spiritual energy so Hollows are naturally attached to it."
"How do we know you're not lying." asked Kyon.
"Well I guess I can leave my Gigai." said Momo.
"Gigai?" asked Itsuki and Kyon.
Momo nodded, "The body you see isn't a real one. Soul Reapers are normally invisible to most unless the person is spiritually aware. So I have to inhabit a fake body to interact with most" explained Momo.
"I will temporally alter data so that those who aren't spiritually aware will be able to see you." said Yuki.
"Thank you." said Momo.
She grabbed her bag and took out a Dolphin shaped pez dispenser, she ate it and suddenly there were tow Momos! The 2nd Momo was a lot paler and had bags under her eyes, she also wore a black kimono, had a sword at her waist and some sort of arm band on her arm with a drawing of the Lily of the valley below 5 written kanji.
"This is my true form." said Momo.
"So I take it that all Soul Reapers are pale like that." said Kyon.
Momo looked down as if she was going to cry.
"No, I just haven't been getting much sleep lately." said Momo.
Kyon noticed that it seemed to be a difficult subject.
"So what des that arm band mean?" he changed the subject.
"Oh it's my Lieutenant's Badge." said Momo, "I'll explain it another time."
"Okay…" said Kyon with a sweat drop.
"You can tell them Momo-Sama!"
Everyone noticed that Momo's other body who was alive on it's own.
"Okay… why is your body alive?" asked Kyon.
Momo held up the Gikongan, "This is Soul Candy, it's an artificial soul that inhabits a Gigai so that humans won't find a dead body just laying around." explained Momo.
"That makes sense." said Itsuki.
"Gee you think?" asked Momo's "Body" very sarcastically.
"Wasn't she just cheerful a second a second ago?" asked Mikuru.
Momo looked at the explanation that Yachiru gave her about her new Soul Candy.
"New Model: Akira-Chan! Makes you act like a famous pop idol from Earth." she read.
"Where does Yachiru get these ideas?" asked Momo, "I should have just checked if they had a Chappy available"
"So does the badge mean anything?" asked Mikuru.
"It means she's the Lieutenant of the 5th Division! In other words she's the 2nd Highest Ranked member of the 5th Division…" explained "Akira-Chan" cheerfully then became bitter, "Unless you count the fact that her captain abandoned them and is trying to take over the Soul Society."
That's when Momo went back into her "Body"… shutting up "Akira-Chan".
"You didn't need to know all that!" said Momo looking pale.
""So is the Soul Society is what the after life is called?" asked Kyon.
Momo nodded then began to explain the events of 3 years before hand.
"So that's the event that earned the attention of the afterlife." said Itsuki.
That's when the door opened and Haruhi looking slightly disheveled came in.
"They wanted to know why I had first dibs on Momo." muttered Haruhi who took her seat.
Kyon shook his head then looked at Momo, he knew from hints there was more to Momo than met the eye… some sort of dark past that she would not rather talk about. He shrugged it of and knew that if it was meant to come out, it would.
Meanwhile at a park at the base of the mountain where the school stands. Toshiro laid on a bench. He wanted to talk to Momo after school to see how it went. He sighed heavily.
Nearby, Sailor Pewter Fox was looking at her machine.
"You got to go last time! I'd like a shot." said Sailor Titanium Kerokko pouting.
That's when Sailor Pewter Fox gasped.
"What is it?" asked Sailor Titanium Kerokko.
"There's someone nearby and their power is off the chart… I've never seen so much power." said Sailor Pewter Fox.
"That sound like a fun one." said Sailor Titanium Kerokko.
Both of them searched for this person, who turned out to be Toshiro (he is a captain after all)
"It's just a little kid." said Sailor Titanium Kerokko.
"That's unexpected." answered Sailor Pewter Fox.
Toshiro glared at them, he knew who they were, what they were and what their plan was… however he knew he couldn't give it away.
"Who are you?" he asked grumpily.
"That doesn't matter… all that matters is that you will belong to us now." said Sailor Pewter Fox.
She shot the golden ball at Toshiro, turning him into "Sailor Ice Dragon."
At a meeting at Chiyo-Chan's house.
"Maybe we should just wait another time search for the last three Senshi." said Seiya with a sweat drop.
That's when Chiyo's computer began to beep, she began to examine it.
"It's near North High." said Chiyo-Chan.
"Again?" asked Tomo, "They just attacked there yesterday."
Meanwhile at the club room Haruhi and Momo were talking about things.
"So what's you old school?" asked Haruhi.
Before Momo could answer the computer began to beep. Yuki began to check it, Momo looked at the coordinate and knew it was close by, which meant leave about a minute after they leave.
"Um … I to go." said Haruhi, "I just remembered I have to do something."
Yuki closed the book she was reading and replaced it.
"I just remembered that I have do something too." said Mikuru.
Mikuru left… still her maid costume.
"She's still in her costume." said Kyon with a sweat drop.
Momo got her stuff ready.
"Since Haruhi left I have to go meet up with someone." said Momo.
"Is it your superior?" asked Kyon.
"Sort of, my friend who's a Captain Ranked Soul Reaper wants to see how my first day went." said Momo, "He's been very worried about me."
"I see." said Kyon.
"See you all tomorrow." said Momo leaving.
Itsuki stared at the girl leaving.
"Your suspicious of her aren't you?" asked Kyon.
"A little." answered Itsuki.
With Haruhi, Mikuru and Yuki they were talking on the communicator with Seiya on the other end.
"It's close." said Yuki.
"We're all transformed on out end. You're almost there so perhaps you should transform as well." said Seiya… or maybe it should be Sailor Star Fighter on the other end.
"Okay!" said Haruhi.
"Sun Star Power!" said Haruhi.
"Juliet Star Power…" said Yuki.
"Charon Star Power!" said Mikuru.
"Maker-up!" all three of them said.
With that they transformed into their Senshi form.
They arrived to three the three animates and their phage.
"So three of you are here already. Well I guess you will be the first to fell the devastating power of this phage!" said Sailor Pewter Fox.
"What do you mean devastating?" asked Sailor Sun.
"Do it now!" yelled Sailor Titanium Kerokko.
"Of course!" said Sailor Ice Dragon.
That's when Sailor Ice Dragon unleashed a gigantic wave of ice to them, sending the three flying.
"What was that?" asked Sailor Sun weakly.
"That was the power of Sailor Ice Dragon." said Sailor titanium Kerokko.
"It's the phage I'm most proud of yet." said Sailor Pewter Fox.
"Well we have to go! Later!" said Sailor Titanium Kerokko.
With that the two left.
A mysterious figure watched from behind a tree.
"Sailor Ice Dragon… it couldn't be… could it?" thought the mysterious figure.
That's when the other Senshi arrived.
"So that's the phage!" said Sailor Haumea.
"More Senshi… that's great!" said Sailor I've Dragon,
That's when Sailor Ice Dragon prepared for another attack.
"Its powers are of ice. You might want to prepare for that." said Sailor Juliet.
"Okay…" said Sailor Rhea with a nod.
"I'll help you Rhea!" said Sailor Phobos.
Sailor Ice Dragon once again readied an attack, he created another wave of Ice.
"Rhea Firestorm Smash!"
"Phobos Mirror Reflection!"
The fire didn't melt the ice and in fact the ice broke though Sailor Phobos' mirror, hitting the remaining Senshi.
"Give up your star seeds now! Or pay the consequences!" yelled Sailor Ice Dragon.
Luna and Artemis were watching from the sidelines.
"Oh no…" said Luna.
That's when both of them felt it… the presence from behind the tree. It was Momo who showed herself.
"What's going on here?" asked Momo who looked to be scared.
Sailor Elara looked at the girl and knew who it was. Both she and Sailor Juliet nodded to Luna.
"Excuse me!" called out Luna.
Momo looked down, "The cat's talking!" she yelled out in shock.
"Yes, I can talk you're a Sailor Senshi like them you must help them to fight the monster, do you except?" asked Luna.
"I have the strangest feeling like I know who this monster really is. So I do." said Momo.
Luna performed a backfill, Procured a Periwinkle Wand. She sweat dropped when she knew what the powers were.
"What's wrong?" asked Momo.
"It's nothing… really." said Luna, "Now say Larissa Star Power! Make-up!"
"Larissa Star Power! Make-up!"
Momo's clothes changed to a white leotard, she gained periwinkle sailor collar and skirt, her ribbons were Persian indigo. She gained elbow length gloves with periwinkle piping, knee high periwinkle boots, stud earrings and a choker. On her forehead was a golden tiara with a periwinkle gem. She was Sailor Larissa.
"Sailor Larissa…" thought Luna with a sweat drop, "The only Sailor Senshi that should be a Soul Reaper. It was the only one not randomly chosen to give to the Soul Society."
"Another Sailor Senshi… then I must show you my wrath." said Sailor Ice Dragon.
Sailor Ice Dragon began to shake for some reason.
"What's wrong with it?" asked Sailor Elara.
"I've never seen this, but I think the remnants of the person it once was is surfacing." said Sailor Star Fighter.
"I wonder why." said Sailor Titan.
"Maybe the person knows her." said Sailor Io.
"Now it's time to attack Larissa!" yelled Luna.
"Right!" said Sailor Larisa.
"Larissa Kido Blaster!" shouted Sailor Larisa.
She shot off a blast of red energy at Sailor Ice Dragon knocking it away.
"You think that will take me down?" asked Sailor Ice Dragon who noticed it now couldn't move.
"I think it's paralyzed." said Sailor Rhea.
""so it's a combination of attack and paralyzing move…" said Sailor Ganymede.
"A combination of both Destruction and binding. That makes sense." thought Sailor Elara.
"I think he might be too strange to be haled." said Sailor Star fighter.
"Okay then!" said Sailor Ganymede, "Let's do it!"
"Ganymede Thunderstorm Crash!"
"Io Tornado Vortex!"
"Rhea Fire Storm Smash!"
""Sun Burning Light!"
"Juliet Data Stream!"
"Deimos Gem Barrage!
"Haumea Page Slicer!"
"Titania Fruit Salad Mixer!
"Umbriel Melee Strike!"
"Oberon Sphere Surprise!"
All of the attacks hit him causing as massive explosion. After it cleared, everyone stared at the twitching phage.
"I think you guys over did it." said Sailor Makemake.
"At least he's still alive right?" asked Sailor Haumea.
"Yeah, he's still alive." said Sailor Star Fighter with a big sweat drop.
Sailor Eris and Sailor Sun played rock paper scissors. Sailor Eris won.
"Eris Blossom Rejection!"
Had the Phage not been twitching on the ground it probably would have said "Pretty!" but remember they over did ti with the attack, but fortunately it did turn back to being Toshiro.
"Shiro!" cried Sailor Larissa.
"You should really detransform first." said Sailor Star Fighter.
Sailor Larissa laughed nervously. And so everyone detransformed… Momo had to put on her best acting. She knew all along who were Sailor Senshi (although she was surprised that Mikuru was a Sailor Senshi since no one told her).
"Wow… so guys are Sailor Senshi too." said Momo.
"Yeah… I didn't think you would be one too." said Haruhi happily, she was so happy that all of the girls in the S.O.S. Brigade.
"It's good to see you're well Momo." said Rukia.
Momo nodded.
"You two know each other?" asked Tomo.
"We went to the same middle school, we weren't that close but we did know each other somewhat." said Momo.
"We have a mutual friend." said Rukia with then smirked, "He quit school recently is has become laborer."
Momo couldn't help to laugh at that one.
"Is that the kid who who's staying with you Orihime?" asked Tatsuki.
"It is." said Orihime.
"He came to see me. He's a very special friend of mine." said Momo, "He wanted to talk to see how my day went."
"Oh really?" asked Tomo who then got a second look at the unconscious Toshiro, "Oh… never mind. He's like 10..."
Momo sweat dropped at that one.
"We should schedule a meeting for tomorrow we need to discus about the last tow Senshi." said Seiya.
Everyone nodded and decided to head home… expect for Mikuru who realizes she was still in her maid costume, while Momo waited for Toshiro to wake up. Which he did shortly after everyone left.
"I take it you awakened your new Senshi powers when I was that monster?" asked Toshiro.
"So you knew you were a monster?" asked Momo.
"I thought I became one. I don't remember anything." said Toshiro, "I've been meaning to ask you something."
"What?" asked Momo.
"Why did you choose to become a Sailor Senshi." said Toshiro.
"Oh, you see, Captain Unohana came to talk to me. She told me about what was going on with the Sailor Senshi and thought I could take the mission as a long vacation." said Momo.
"A long vacation?" asked Toshiro.
"I thought about it for a long time and realized I needed one. It is a mission but right now I see it as a vacation." said Momo, "She said it was a good idea to make some new friends as well."
"So talking to many people who barely know anything, that's a pretty good idea." said Toshiro.
"I know you were against it." said Momo.
"I just didn't see it that way." said Toshiro, "I just saw the stressful battle aspect of it."
"That makes sense." said Momo.
The two of them sat in silence, that's when Momo began to pat Toshiro's head, "I have to go, Yuki promised to help me with my homework."
"Please don't pat my head." deadpanned Toshiro.
"Bye Shiro!" said Momo leaving the park.
"Don't call me that either." muttered Toshiro.
Toshiro smiled as Momo left, Captain Unohana was right… it would be good for to make new friends. Ones that had no idea about the recent betrayal of Aizen. It might even work out better than one even hopped.
Omake Time: Lucky Channel: Episode: 5
"Hiya Luckies! Akira Kagami here!" said Akira.
"And I'm copilot Mino…" said Minoru but couldn't even finished his introduction.
"Okay… what's the deal! The preview said I was going to appear in the chapter!" yelled Akira.
"The preview said maybe not…" said Minoru, "Implying you weren't actually going to be physical appearing the in the chapter."
"I thought a picture at least… but a Soul Candy based on me? What's the deal with that." muttered Akira.
"Also I didn't mention this earlier but we have a guest." said Minoru.
"Really a special guest! I wonder who it is!" said Akira cheerfully.
"It's Lieutenant Yachiru Kusajishi of the 11th Division, she's also the one who designs Soul Candy." said Minoru, "Uh-oh…"
"Hi!" yelled Yachiru coming on to the set.
"Okay… why did you make the soul candy like me?" asked Akira cheerfully.
"I like the way you are sometimes happy yet you switch to suddenly angry at the drop of a hat." said Yachiru.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Akira angrily.
"That's what I'm talking about!" said Yachiru happily.
"Minoru! Yell her it's not true." said Akira.
Both of them found that Minoru was gone (he really didn't want to get up in a fight between those…)
"Where the hell did you go!" yelled Akira.
"I think he ran away when I showed up." said Yachiru.
That's when the music began to play.
"Well the show's over!" said Akira, cheerfully "Bye-Nii!"
"Bye-Nii!" said Yachiru happily.
The title card was shown… however both Yachiru and Akira still talked.
"Tell me now why you really based it off or will I have to take drastic measures." said Akira.
"I don't think you want to take drastic measures." said Yachiru.
"Hey what's going on here?" came Kenpachi's voice.
"Oh fu…" muttered Akira.
End of Omake Time!
