I don't own Bleach
Shikeguni could only stand there in awe. Not one but two people had been able to enter the field. And they were heading towards him. Wait, no. They were heading towards him. No, they could not do that. Near him was where it was hottest both the boy and the older boy would be burnt to ashes. "Stop!" he yelled, "Don't come near me!" The older carrying the younger kept running towards him. He began to grow panicked. "No! I'm dangerous!" They kept coming closer closer closer. He began to back up stumbled over a protruding rock and his back landing on that of another rock. "Don't come any closer! You'll die!" They were ten feet away by now when they stopped. "Please! Help my brother!" the boy yelled.
"Help!? HELP!?" Shikeguni cried. "All those who come near me are turned to ash and you think I can help!?"
"Do you at least know someone who can?" the other asked desperately.
Before he could answer a new voice spoke up, "I can." The man had slightly dark skin and wore some kind of skin on him. Strapped to his back was a bow and arrows, to his sides was a knife, his pants appeared to be the same kind of fabric, finally he wore some moccasins on his feet.
The new boy quickly rushed over to the man and handed his little brother to him. The older man's hand began to glow a bright yellow and he touched the boy's forehead with it. The light intensified before fading completely. The boy began to cough and wearily opened his eyes. "Y-Yhwach?" the boy asked looking towards his brother.
"Sebastian! Thank goodness you're alright!" he said scooping Sebastian up into a big hug. The man who healed Sebastian smiled before turning to Shikeguni.
"I heard what you were yelling, boy," he said walking closer, "What did you mean by you are "dangerous"?"
"Look around you," was his only reply. The man gave him a sympathetic smile.
"Do you wish for me to help you?" he asked.
Shikeguni straightened at this, "I would love for you to but, you'd die if you did."
"I think I shall press my luck then," the man said his hand glowing once more. He touched Shikeguni on his forehead just like Sebastian. After a little bit he frowned and moved his hand over to Shikeguni's heart. Shikeguni began to feel warm, relief and for the first time in who knows how many years, he smiled. And all the embers faded and the wall of flames that surrounded them slowly lowered till they, too, were completely gone. For the first time in many years, Yamamoto cried clutching the man's shirt. He had no idea for how long it was but by the time he was done it was sundown.
The man who had helped them had gotten up and turned to the boys. "I shall guide you all to Myrinon, the city over there," he said pointing, "I will take you to be within the care of a trustworthy acquaintance of mine. There we shall part ways. Unless of course you all have somewhere else you'd wish to go."
"Y-you're going to leave us? Why?" Seastian asked, "Can't we stay with you?" He clutched his brother scared. "M-me and my brother were running away from the mean people who wanted to touch us! W-we don't have anything besides each other and we don't know what to do!" Yhwach nodded in agreement with his younger sibling.
"I want to go with you," Shikeguni said, "You were able to control my power. If I lose control aga-"
"Enough," the man said sternly, "while I understand your plight I myself am not someone who is able to take care of children. And boy," he said turning to Shikeguni, "it was not me that removed the effects of your powers but you. I only assisted in calming you down for your fear was what powered the flames. You need to learn to control your emotions, that is what your struggle is!"
"Come!" he told them setting off. He continued for a bit before turning around, "What is wrong? Have you broken your feet?"
"We haven't introduced ourselves," Yhwach said plainly. The man let out a sigh of annoyance. "Fine, I am the hunter Wakiza, who are you?" He crossed his arms.
He let out a cough, "I am Yhwach deQuincy and this is my little brother Sebastian deQuincy."
"Shikeguni Yamamoto," was all he said.
"Alright, let us go," Wakiza said.
Myrinon, the Coliseum City
Sebastian stared wide-eyed at the sight around him and gaped. "It's sooooooooooo big!" he said. "I wonder how much candy they have here?" he said noticing he was gaining some distance between him and the group quickly walked forward and grabbed his brother's hand. "So?" he asked his older brother.
"So what?" Yhwach asked turning to his younger sibling.
"How much candy do you think they have here?" he asked again his eyes sparkling.
"Oh," his brother said, "Uuuuuuuuuuum, a lot I'd say."
"Like, a lot a lot?" Sebastian asked.
"Yep," Yhwach answered back.
"Woooooooooow, awesome!" Sebastian said. Then he noticed two people in an alleyway doing something funny.
"What's that, brother?" he said pointing at the sight. Yhwach glanced over to what he was looking at and grabbed his brother pulling him away from the sight.
"That is something you are much too young for," he said getting him away. Shikeguni lingered behind a bit looking at the sight before Wakiza pulled him away muttering something about how sinful people are. Eventually, they came upon a wooden building with some lights in it.
"We shall sleep here for the night," Wakiza said, "After which we will continue to travel through the city into the lower levels where my acquaintance is. If we are lucky we shall reach them within 2 more days."
"Two days!?" Shikeguni exclaimed, "how big is this place?"
"It is quite large," Wakiza explained as they entered, "We are on the top of 5 rings and 6 levels. My acquaintance is on the 4th Level," he turned to the lady at the counter of the inn, "we would like to have a room for the night preferable 3 beds- for the children- I find myself more comfortable sleeping on non-elevated surfaces."
"Would you like Breakfast in the morning sir?" the lady asked smiling. Wakiza turned towards the others and shook his head.
"That will not be necessary," he responded. The lady bowed and reached under the desk pulling out a key.
"That will be 1500," she told him. He paid her the money and she handed them a key, "Up the stairs 3rd door down on the right." They headed to their rooms.
Later that Night
Sebastian woke up needing to potty. He got out of bed climbed into his brother's bed and shook him. "Brother, I need to potty," he told him. Yhwach just mumbled something he couldn't understand so he shook him again. "I need to potty," he said again.
"Then go to the restroom," Yhwach mumbled.
"But I don't know where the potty is," he countered. Yhwach was just back to sleep. He crossed his arms and pouted, "Fine, I'll find it myself." He jumped off of the bed and started walking. When he reached the door he jumped up and turned the nob opening it a little bit. Once he was out he jumped back up and placed a foot on the rim of the door and quickly closed it. Because big boys always closed doors especially in the middle of the ni-. He really shouldn't have done that. It was scary in here when it was dark. He then wondered where the potty was. Then he remembered there was a nice lady in the room they were in. She could tell him! So, he quickly rushed to the room. When he entered he began talking cheerfully. Ma'am do you know whe-," he stopped dead in his tracks. The lady was there but she had a booboo. A really big booboo because there was a lot of blood. A lot a lot. And standing over her was a white thing with black eyes and red irises. It had its hand sticking through the woman. When he saw Sebastian it removed the girl from its claws and looked right at him.
Sebastian screamed. He ran up the stairs and quickly started banging at the door. Mr. Whitey Face quickly followed and was right there at the end of the hall. He scream and ran all the way to the other end of the hall but the thingy caught up with him easily. Looking around frantically for somewhere to go he noticed a window and jumped out of it. He fell to the ground and heard a big crunch. His leg began to hurt and when he tried to get up he couldn't move. The creature jumped right out of the building destroying the roof and landing right beside Sebastian. The creature quickly grabbed him, smirked and started to run away.
Hotel Room
Yhwach when he saw the creature ggo after his brother down the hall panicked. "Mr. Wakiza hurry up!" he yelled.
"I know!" Wakiza yelled back grabbing his bow, "but get out of the doorway so I can help!" Shikeguni quickly pulled him back and Wakiza rushed out into the hall. He pulled his bow and arrow back and prepared to fire but Yhwach heard a crash and a "damn!" before Wakiza ran off in the direction the creature was. Yhwach shoved Shikeguni to the ground and ran out into the hall.
"Sebastian!" he yelled and rushed to the broken window right past Wakiza just in time to see the monster make off with his brother. Yhwach reached his hand out as if hoping to grab something. "Sebastiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn!" he yelled to nothing in particular. He stumbled back and fell to the ground curling into a ball. Wakiza rushed to see outside the window. He then grabbed Yhwach by his raggedy shirt and slapped him. But he paid no mind to it. He was worried about his brother.
"What were you thinking child! You could have gotten yourself, me, AND your brother with your actions!" Wakiza yelled at him.
"My brother," Yhwach said absent mindedly.
"Is that all you have to say for yourself!?" Wakiza yelled even more. At this point people were filing into the halls from their rooms watching the sight before them in awe, curiosity, and dumbfoundment. Though a couple had gone downstairs to see what that was like and after a shrill several of the occupents had rushed to find out what the commotion was about. Wakiza paid this no mind as he continued yelling at Yhwach. Eventually Shikeguni showed up having pushed through the crowd.
"Wakiza-san," he said, "I know you're upset by as long as you're yelling at Yhwach-san we won't be able to help out Sebastian." Wakiza looked between the two boys and nodded dropping Yhwach and motioning for them to follow as they got out into the streets which was filled with a few people checking out the commotion though for the most part it was quiet.
"So, how are we going to save my brother?" Yhwach asked eventually.
"We're not," Wakiza replied.
"So, you are?" Yhwach asked.
"No, we're continuing the journey we were going on originally. I shall deliver you two to my acqua-" Wakiza began to say.
"WHAT!" Yhwach yelled, "What do you mean you aren't going to save my brother!?"
"I never sa-" Wakiza began to counter but Yhwach interrupted him again.
"You don't care do you!? We're just dead weight you want to drop off with someone else so that you don't have to deal with us!" Yhwach yelled. A lot of blue energy started swirling around him as he became more enraged.
"Yhwach calm down!" Shikeguni yelled. The energy increased and people were dropping to the ground finding it difficult to breathe. Even Shikeguni could feel like he was being pushed down by some unseeable force. He was already on one knee and struggling to breathe. "What powerful reiatsu!" Wakiza said as he shielded himself with his arm.
"I hate you! I'm not going to abandon my brother! If you won't do it I'll do it myself!" With that Yhwach disappeared without a traced after a large burst of energy knocked them both back. They both scrambled to their feet and looked around horrified. Shikeguni turned to Wakiza.
"W-we need to go after them!" he said.
"No," Wakiza said, "that creature was a Vasto Lorde class Hollow. We need to get to my acquaintances and tell him of the situation. He is the only person who can deal with those things!" he said turning around, "Come on we need to hurry! We need to make a two days journey in an hour!" He stopped, "Dammit we need to make a two-days journey in an hour."
"We aren't fast enough for that at all," Shikeguni said in realization.
"It's a good thing I can then," a new voice said. Startled the two turned around to see a girl around Shikeguni's age in red robes. Her hair was tied into a long braid running down to her ankles. "Hello, my name is Chang Fon, the fastest girl ever born. Just give me the directions and I'll get there no sweat," she told them.
"What's the catch?" Shikeguni asked, "I may have spent half my life alone but I know very well that a stranger offering help out of nowhere there's always a catch." Wakiza crossed his arms in agreement.
Chang looked genuinely surprised and affronted at this before regaining her composure and smirking, "Well, actually I saw what happened and was genuinely offering my assistance for free. Unfortunately since you appear to desire a price I shall give it to you. She leaned down and whispered something in Shikeguni's ear. He visibly became more and more paler and his eyes grew wider as she stated the price to him.
"Deal?" she asked. Shikeguni gulped and shook, "We don't have any other options so deal, unfortunately." She nodded and Wakiza gave her the directions and the message.
With that she suddenly disappeared as if she was never there. Wakiza turned to Shikeguni, "Do I want to know?" Shikeguni shook his head and they headed out.
A forest
The monster had taken Sebastian tied him to a tree and fell asleep. At this moment Sebastian would be scared. If he weren't so bored.
"Hello tree," he whispered, "hello grass, hello flower, hello other grass, hello other other grass, hello other other other gra-"
"Psssssssst, Sebastian!" he heard. Startled he looked around until he found Yhwach.
"Oh, hi there brother! Have you come to help me say high to all of the grasses?" he asked cheerfully.
"Yes, I'm here to sa- wait, what?" Yhwach said getting a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"Say hi to all the grasses, and trees, and flowers, and squirrels, and-" Sebastian began listing.
"I'm here to save you!" he brother snapped, "Shouldn't you be scared for your life or something?"
"Eh," Sebastian shrugged as Yhwach untied him, "The boredom quickly took over."
"Well, I'm sorry for not being a proper terrifying monster," the Vasto Lorde said looking down at the children arms crossed and quite annoyed.
"Huh," Sebastian said, "he's British."
"And?" the Vasto Lorde asked.
"I heard British people are evil!" Sebastian.
Yhwack bonked him on the head, "You're British doofus!"
"Hm?" Sebastian said, "Oh! Guess I'm evil too!" He turned to the Vasto Lorde and smiled, "Hey, since we're both British and by default evil let's team up to give my brother a wedgie!"
"Sebastian!" Yhwach yelled in horror. As those two continued the argument the Vasto Lorde clenched his nose and sighed.
"Mother was right, I should have been a dentist," letting out a sigh he got into monster mode and roared at the two causing them to cling to each other in fear.
"We should run now," Yhwach said. And they did just that. The Vasto Lorde quickly broke through the trees letting out howls and stomps. Suddenly another appeared in front of them. Then one from the side then another and then there were 5 Vasto Lordes closing in on them around all the different angles.
"I just took care of my poddy break," Sebastian said. The two let out a collective scream of terror. Then one of them got sliced in half. Shocked the others turned to see the newcomer. He surveyed the collective number of them and snorted.
"Only 5 (four now) Vasto Lordes to deal with two Gotei Candidates. My my Cielo has gotten brave hasn't he? Well, I should be able to deal with grunts like you 4 no problem at all," he said. Smirking he sheathed his blade and got into a stance. Growling the Vasto Lorde who had captured them swiped his claws at the warrior. He just side-stepped grabbed his arm and raised him up in the air. The warrior jumped and flattened another Vasto Lorde with the one he was holding. That one turned out to be dead so he charged at the other two left. They both got ready to strike but he was suddenly behind them and kicked their skulls into the ground destroying them. He smirked and thought to himself Quickly strike a pose! He did that and smirked. Now is say something cool!
"Is that all, goonys?" he asked the corpses. Yes! Now they think I'm badass!
Alexander looked at the boys who were standing in front of him. Whatever he was expecting them to say it sure as heck wasn't, "Brother? What's an ass?" Shit, I said that part outloud!
Yhwach looked down at his brother, "I think it's another word for butt."
"Oh," Sebastian said. Pause. "Why does he want us to think he's a bad butt?"
Alexander sunk his head in defeat. Now, here's to hoping no one visited my place while I was out.
Alexander's House
On the door was a note that read:
"I'll be out for a while saving two boys name Sebastian and Yhwach deQuincy from evil giant white monster men called Vasto Lorde. Please leave a message at the beep. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep."
-Alexander Alexandre
Chang looked at the message and was clearly annoyed. "Screw you too little man, screw you too," with that she sat down and waited for someone to arrive.
