Before the three stood a large room with what seemed like a small house in the center there was one door on each wall of the room surrounding the little home. The one to the right was dark black lightning flashed across the door to warn intruders to stay away. To the left stood a wall of solid ice threw the ice a very plain white door was visible and directly across from the door way that the three stood in was a silver door wrapped in chains and locks.
" I will be back for the two of you in five days hopefully you live that long, heed my only warning, do not ever attempt to enter each others doors for it will mean certain death for the intruder. Train in your respective doors and return here to rest you have five years were counting on you." and with that Inu no Taisho left the room sealing the doorway behind him the chained door on the far end of the room disappeared.
" this place is kind of creepy." Rukia said walking toward the little house. Sagara followed suit. When they walked inside it seemed like a simple little place they walked in the front door to a small cabin like room with a fireplace already lit. they looked around, the room had the bare necessities a small sofa in front of the fire place an arch way that led to a kitchen with a small pot of stew cooking over an enclosed fire pit. Up stairs were to small bed rooms with beds and dressers being the only furniture.
" ill be back later." Sagara stated as he headed back down stairs and outside to his door. Rukia just watched from the window as he placed his hand on the door and the flashing lightning seemed to be drawn to his flesh before the door unlocked and swung open. He walked inside and it shut behind him.
" this is definitely a strange place." Rukia thought to herself. She looked over at her door covered by a wall of ice.
When Sagara entered the room he was greeted by nothing but darkness. flashes of lightning were his only source of light. A low rumble seemed to capture his attention Sagara looked around franticly trying to find who was in the room with him. Suddenly a flash of lightning revealed something unbelievable for a split second he could have sworn he saw a dragon. Another flash of lightning confirmed his thoughts as he saw the two large orange eyes of the Mangekyō three black evenly spaced curved lines extended from the pupil in the place where Sagara's tear drops would be.
" who dares to enter my domain?" the dragon questioned in a dark deep tone his voice bellowed threw the darkness.
" my name is Sagara Taisho and i'm here to become stronger creature." Sagara spoke confidently.
" ahh finally Sagara you have come to me seeking my help." the dragon continued.
" you were expecting me?" Sagara questioned " who exactly are you." he demanded.
" I am your soul demon Sagara I live deep in the darkness of your soul that is where we reside right now. I have been referred to as the Amaterasu dragon." the dragon spoke calmly as he explained to his young partner.
" then you can teach me to master all three abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Sagara questioned.
" of course once you master Tsukuyomi and Susanoo I will be glad to share with you the secrets of the Amaterasu and other powerful techniques." the dragon complied. " of course it will not be easy and the training is dangerous you could die." the dragon warned Sagara.
" I am ok with that but explain these three techniques to me please and what other techniques do you speak of?" Sagara asked curiously.
" first Tsukuyomi is the power of ultimate sight the Sharingan allows you to see things almost before they happen allowing you to be prepared for anything in battle Tsukuyomi is a form of illusion trapping your victim in a world created by the Mangekyō you can manipulate this world as you please to torture your captive or deceive them you can make seconds feel like days in this world. Then there is Susanoo an attack supposed to be unrivaled in power said to be used by the gods in ancient wars and times of great struggle it is said that Susanoo has a perfect defense and an unstoppable attack. Then finally Amaterasu the black flame derived from myself that can burn anything and never stops until it has accomplished its goal a flame that can burn fire itself it is said it can melt any substance in the universe.
" is Amaterasu really that powerful?" Sagara questioned. The dragon just nodded. "Then lets get on with it I am willing to take on any risk necessary to master them all." Sagara spoke enthusiastically. The dragon only chuckled.
" very well then let us begin." he replied. Rukia stared at the locked black door with the lightning flashing across it. She couldn't help but wonder what he had faced inside. She stared back at her own wall of ice and a shiver was sent down her spin she knew she had to face what ever was inside but she couldn't hide her fear. She slowly walked out of the house and approached the wall of ice. She stared at it for a moment. Before placing a trembling hand on the wall which quickly dissipated. The door that had been hidden behind the wall of ice flew open on its own it seemed as though a horrific blizzard was on the other side the winds and snow pulled the small teenage girl threw the door that slammed shut behind her. Once inside she regained herself to find herself standing in a snowy forest trees made of ice in fact everything seemed to be made of ice.
" your heart doesn't need to be as cold as your blade." came a soft soothing voice.
" who's there!" Rukia screamed into the frozen forest.
" it is me your soul demon, my name is Glacio." the women spoke as she emerged from the forest of ice showing a cold almost spitting image of Rukia although her hair was white and eyes were blue there was no mistaking the resemblance.
" what did you mean my heart does not need to be as cold as my blade?" Rukia questioned her soul demon.
" I know your every intention and fear Rukia you can hide nothing from me, I also know that you wish me to train you and make you stronger and I will not." Glacio spoke crossing her arms over her chest and looking away from her pathetic host.
" why not!" Rukia demanded.
" because your a coward you intend to fight on which ever side is winning even if it means betraying friends and your self you want your brother dead he absolutely must be stopped and yet if things look to tough you intend to give up and help him your a coward." Glacio replied in a huff before turning her back on Rukia and sitting in the snow. Rukia looked down at her fidgeting hands her soul demon was right she was pathetic and weak. Suddenly she recalled the fire and determination she had seen in Sagara's eyes when Inu no Taisho told him about this place.
" soul demon what is my purpose." Rukia asked determined to hear what she wanted to.
" what a stupid question." Glacio responded with out moving an inch.
" answer me." Rukia didn't back down.
" your purpose is what you make it to be you are in charge of your own destiny, what a foolish question." Glacio mumbled to herself.
" my purpose is to help Sagara Taisho realize his goals so that he can one day be happy and move on from the misery my brother has caused him. If that means I must battle against my own brother to the death then so be it."
" you think a handsome powerful man like him would ever want to grow old and start a peaceful life with a flat chested weakling like you don't make me laugh." Glacio snickered. " remember I know ALL of your thoughts." Glacio answered emphasizing the word all.
" I don't care what you think! I will do my best to make Sagara happy and if he chooses to not be with me then so be it if I die helping him then so be it but I will not abandon my dream because some little punk like you doesn't think I can do it!" Rukia screamed at her soul demon. This caused Glacio to open one eye curiously.
" that is the resolve I expect from my host do not ever let anyone break you down if you die it will be an honorable death nothing your idiot brother says or does will ever change the things he has done and he must pay for his actions. So let us begin." Glacio said a smirk growing on her face as she jumped into the air and twirled around to face Rukia. The two trained in solitude with their soul demons for about six months very rarely ever seeing each other it was uncommon for them to take breaks from their training at the same time especially considering they very rarely took breaks at all unless they absolutely had to occasionally Rukia would find Sagara laying burned and unconscious outside of his door she would carry him inside and tend to his wounds but she was never there when he woke up. One day they both seemed to emerge from their respective doors almost simultaneously. They looked across at each other both battered and beaten barley able to stand and chuckled at the pathetic condition the other was in they smiled before both returning to the house. They both sat on opposite ends of the sofa and stared into the endless fire both exhausted from their training.
" hey Rukia." Sagara started to speak.
" yes?" Rukia replied.
" have you learned anything since we've been here." Sagara questioned her for the first time about her training since they had started.
" of course I haven't been having tea parties and relaxing in there you know." Rukia answered annoyed at the stupidity of the question.
" good I want to fight you." Sagara commanded standing up.
" what? Right now?" Rukia sounded astonished at the sudden challenge.
" yes. Now and if I win you have to do one thing that I ask of you without questioning it." Sagara replied with an evil grin spreading across his face.
" fine but if I win you rub my feet tonight, a girl should be pampered once in awhile." Rukia responded also standing. They headed outside where they assumed their stances in front of their doors.
" are you ready Rukia I wont hold back." Sagara yelled over to the short girl whom he was about to engage in battle with.
" i'm ready for anything you have." Rukia responded full of confidence. This caused Sagara to grin before disappearing in a flash with a loud crack he was instantly behind her he swung his sword only to be blocked by hers she had anticipated his movement. They battled all over the room both moving quickly their swords clashing every couple of seconds as they grinned at each other enjoying the challenge they gave each other.
"Your faster then I remember." Sagara complimented her in the middle of battle as their faces neared at the cross of their swords.
" really I just thought you got slower." Rukia replied smiling before jumping back Sagara in a flash moved to bring his sword to her throat to end the battle but was astonished when a block of ice appeared before her flesh and blocked his blade inches from his target.
" so you have learned some new things." Sagara complimented the girl. Rukia smiled and stabbed at his abdomen slicing threw his shirt. " your not playing around huh?" Sagara chuckled as he avoided the attack. she focused her power and created an armor of ice around her entire body. The armor didn't seem to slow her down as she moved to attack and their blades continued to clash. She began spawning giant icicles in an attempt to slow his movements. Sagara moving swiftly and avoiding her attacks tested the strength of this armor as his blade bounced off it numerous times barley scratching the surface. " impressive." he muttered just loud enough for Rukia to hear before backing off. She smiled as she did the same to catch her breath. For an instant she could have sworn she saw his eyes twist into a weird shape but dismissed it when they appeared normal again. With another loud crack Sagara disappeared and re appeared behind Rukia before she could react his sword collided with her armor and shattered it into pieces. Rukia stood still astonished unable to react. Sagara reappeared in front of her and pulled her close to him with one toned strong arm wrapping around her waist. With his sword still held firmly in one hand he pressed his lips to her soft ones and closed his eyes Rukia was still stunned by what had just happened she remained wide eyed to stunned to even kiss the man she longed for back. When he finally pulled away from the girl he smiled. " I win." he proclaimed his smirk growing at the look of amazement on the girls face which was instantly taken over with the most furious expression Sagara had ever seen in his life it actually frightened him.
" how dare you!" Rukia screamed. This caused Sagara to take a step back he prepared to retreat.
" did you not enjoy the kiss?" Sagara smirked pushing his luck. Rukia quickly calmed down and began to blush her face glowing with shyness.
" its not that I just." Rukia began.
" I won so I get anything I want right?" Sagara cut her off.
" yes that was the deal." Rukia looked deep into the boys eyes wondering what it was that he wanted from her.
" when this is all over will you marry me Rukia?" Sagara questioned the girl never breaking her gaze. Rukia felt her heart sink she stood stunned at his question. Her face turned bright red as she searched her lungs for air to reply but it seemed he had knocked the wind out of her.
"yes." was all the girl was barley able to whisper as she broke his gaze and looked down at her feet her face glowing with embarrassment. Suddenly she felt like she had just awoken from some kind of sick dream only to realize there was a sword pressed to her throat. She looked up to see Sagara staring at her with the largest most evil grin she had ever seen, again he pressed his lips to hers and passionately kissed her. This time she was more prepared and kissed the man who had proposed to her back surprising Sagara. The kiss was long and deep neither of them wanted it to end and when it finally did Sagara jumped back a couple of feet pulling his sword from the girls throat. Rukia looked into his eyes as he did this and noticed the change.
" that was the power of the Mangekyō's Tsukuyomi." Sagara smirked. " I have won this fight." he proclaimed proudly as the girl started at him in disbelief.
" your a sick bastard!" Rukia screamed her face glowing with embarrassment but she was to furious to care. she lunged at him with everything she had sending icicles at his heart attempting to kill the young man who had just toyed with her emotions.
" hey I won the battle is over!" Sagara screamed back dodging her relentless attacks.
" like hell it is ill kill you!" Rukia screamed with rage. She continued to attempt to assault him. As he dodged all of her attacks the smirk never fading from his face. He avoided her attacks until she could barley move anymore from exhaustion she finally collapsed but was caught by Sagara before she hit the ground. He carried her inside and brought her bridal style up stairs and laid her down on her bed. Just as he was about to exit the room and head to take a bath she awoke. " Sagara." Rukia whispered.
" yes Rukia?" he answered her turning around to meet her gaze.
" why did you kiss me and say those things?" Rukia wondered. Sagara just smiled.
" I like you Rukia." and with that he turned around again to exit the room. But before he could she spoke again.
" Sagara, it was more romantic without the sword to my throat." Rukia smiled and closed her eyes to drift off to sleep.
" ill remember that next time." Sagara whispered before exiting the room. This continued for another three years and six months the two trained relentlessly with little contact. But when they did see each other there was always a battle. They were eager to show each other what they had learned. one day Sagara emerged from his door beaten and exhausted he headed to the house which he found to be empty as usual he walked to the bathroom and dropped his cloths at the door way before entering completely nude to his surprise he entered to see a very red and surprised Rukia already in the tub. Her face glowed as she stared the naked man up and down. Sagara simply stood there in all of his glory not attempting to cover himself at all he simply scratched at the back of his head and chuckled. " I didn't think id find you in here."
" get out you pervert!" Rukia yelled as she covered her chest and sunk into the water.
" but i'm filthy and need to take a bath! Whats it matter you've already seen me naked now." Sagara replied before walking toward the tub and climbing in. he let himself sink into the water. " that feels great." he said relaxing. Rukia had turned a bright red now embarrassed at the current situation she faced she knew she had to do something so she turned to face away from him and stood, she reached for a towel and thought she was safe until he said it. " wow Rukia you have a great ass." Sagara smirked. Before he knew it she had turned around one arm still over her chest and slapped him as hard as she could leaving a glowing hand print across his face.
" your such a perv!" she screamed wrapping herself in a towel and leaving the room her face still red with embarrassment as she leaned her back against the door.
" what a weird girl." Sagara said aloud to himself.
" I heard you asshole!" Rukia screamed threw the door.
" I stand my ground what kind of weirdo stands outside the bathroom door and listens to people!" Sagara yelled back. But received no answer. ( once hes dressed i'm going to kill him!) Rukia thought to her self as she went upstairs and threw a robe on to cover herself.
" who are you kidding your just upset because he didn't try to take you right there in the tub." came Glacio's voice from inside her head.
" no body asked you your a pervert to." Rukia mocked her soul demon.
" who are you talking to?" Sagara questioned as he opened the door wearing nothing but a robe himself.
" uh no one just myself." Rukia quickly attempted to cover for the insane comment she just made. Sagara raised one eye brow.
" so your a pervert then?" Sagara mocked.
" no its just.. hey what are you even doing here!" Rukia yelled trying to change the subject.
" oh right i'm here to apologize for before if I made you uncomfortable at all." Sagara apologized.
" no its fine." Rukia blushed at the memory of his large naked body. All her anger had disappeared suddenly.
" are you sure you seemed pretty ticked off." Sagara questioned.
" i'm sure I was just surprised that's all, i'm not really used to a man being so open like that.. I was never the most attractive girl around so I never got much male attention growing up I was more like a princess waiting for my prince." Rukia confided in him she looked down and blushed deeply as she spoke.
" hmm.. I cant imagine why men wouldn't be going crazy over a beautiful graceful girl like yourself." Sagara encouraged.
" you really think i'm beautiful?" Rukia looked up and questioned him in disbelief.
" remember not to long after we first arrived and I kissed you?" Sagara questioned. Rukia nodded recalling the memory which she had looked back on almost every night since. " I wanted my first kiss to be with a beautiful girl." Sagara smiled and left the room. Rukia was blushing a dark red now but she wasn't going to lose her chance. She got up and chased after him. She ran and he suddenly stopped just as he was about to open his bedroom door and turned around only to be slammed into by the small girl who jumped in the air and wrapped her arms around his neck as she forced her lips on his. They shared another long deep and passionate kiss. When they finally broke apart they each took a large gasp of air and smiled at each other.
" I wanted my second kiss to be with a handsome goodhearted man." Rukia whispered. In response Sagara simply smiled before leaning in and kissing the beautiful girl that he held in his arms once more. As their lips were locked and their tongues entangled Rukia turned the door knob causing Sagara to stumble backward a bit into the room. When he stopped but continued kissing her she gave him just a little push causing him to stumble a bit more until he hit the bed and completely fell over.
" what are you doing?" Sagara questioned with a smirk as he lay on his back across the bed.
"just driving a man crazy." Rukia responded as she slowly crawled on top of Sagara until they were face to face. She could feel him harden underneath her especially seeing how the only thing separating their two hot naked bodies were two thin robes.
" its working." Sagara responded as he leaned up to kiss her only to be denied by her finger being forced in front of his lips. She untied his robe allowing it to fall to his sides exposing him completely. " what are you.." Sagara began but was stopped when he realized she had also untied her robe partially exposing her normal sized breasts and he could now feel her warm moist slit rubbing up and down his erection. Rukia's face was red with embarrassment but she couldn't stop now she had come to far and excited herself far to much she longed for this man and she wanted him right now.
" do I excite you?" Rukia questioned as she felt his large erection stiffening between her legs. Sagara smirked at her dominant actions.
" yes you do." he whispered as he pulled her down for a kiss again to be denied by her finger.
" show me what you want to do to me." Rukia whispered earning a surprised look from Sagara. But he complied his eyes changed as he unleashed the Mangekyō he stared into the beautiful violet orbs of the women above him as he used his Tsukuyomi to show her what she wanted to see. In an instant Rukia found herself laying on her back pinned down to the bed by strong hands. She didn't attempt to fight it as she looked into his eyes above her he looked hungry for her she had never felt that urge to please a man like this before she had never felt those hungry eyes look her up and down. Suddenly waves of pain and pleasure slowly began to take over her entire body as he entered her with no warning his thrusts becoming faster and harder sending large waves of pleasure threw her tiny frame she moaned loudly unable to contain herself as he began violently fucking her. Her hands found their way to random points on the sheets where they grasped anything she could hold. As she panted his name. Suddenly everything stopped the waves of pleasure disappeared and she found her self still breathing heavy as she sat on top of him looking down into his hungry eyes. In an instant she found herself just as he had showed her pinned down to the bed with his hands holding her wrists as his hungry eyes slowly scanned her flawless body. She blushed and attempted to look away as he took in every inch of her beauty when she turned away he leaned in and kissed her passionately. When he pulled away for air he looked down at the beautiful girl who lay naked underneath him.
" is that what you want?" Sagara smirked as he licked her nipples lightly drawing circles around them with his tongue.
" since the day I met you." Rukia moaned in pleasure as he massaged her breasts. Suddenly without warning she felt him prodding at her entrance. "go" she whispered and shut her eyes as pain over took her body when he entered her he pushed into her slowly until every inch of him was inside of her small body. Tsukuyomi had lied the pain was far worse then it had predicted Rukia thought as Sagara forced himself inside her. After a couple of minutes of him steadily invading her the pain had started to fade. Pleasure began to overcome her body as he began to speed up his thrusts. Rukia let her pleasure known as she moaned loudly with his pace. She looked up into his hungry eyes above her as he quickened his pace she freed her wrists from his grasp and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him down into a deep kiss. Seizing her opportunity to re assume the dominant position she rolled over forcing him to the bottom before pulling away from the kiss with a smirk on her face that sent a pleasuring chill down Sagara's spine. She pushed her small body all the way down on him causing her to scream with pleasure before she began riding him violently moaning in rhythm. Quickly Sagara began to feel himself pulsate inside of the girl his heart beat quickened. Rukia felt him begin to throb vigorously inside of her as his release came, this throbbing was all she needed to push her over the edge for her own she moaned loudly as she felt her entire body trembling with pleasure. Afterward the room filled with silence except for the heavy breaths the two just laid together Rukia's head resting on his chest as they both drifted to sleep.
When Rukia woke up the next morning she found herself alone in bed. She lifted her head and scanned the room wondering if it was all a dream. Then she felt the soar sensation that still lingered between her thighs and aloud her head to drop back to the pillow before closing her eyes and smiling. The next year was very different then the previous four. Rukia had not once seen Sagara since that night but could sense his power growing stronger from behind his door. So she patiently waited for the day that he would have to come out and continued her own training. In the mean time behind Sagara's door he struggled with the most challenging of tasks. He looked down at his right arm that was completely wrapped in bandages. He had mastered his soul beast and gained its power by using an ancient seal to seal it away into his right arm. What the dragon didn't tell him was that it would nearly burn his arm off and render it completely useless. Then suddenly after he had absorbed the dragons power he found himself inside this ghostly temple full of hidden passage ways and dead ends it was an ancient labyrinth designed to keep whom ever stumbled upon it from ever finding what was at the end. Luckily the dragon guided him threw, he couldn't help but notice the images on the walls of a mysterious women fighting a giant black dragon which seemed to plague the villages of the world from the sky. When it seemed he had come to the end he stood before two amazing stone statues, one of the mysterious woman depicted on the walls and the other of a giant coiled dragon whose eyes seemed to light up as Sagara entered the room. The mouth of the dragon opened.
" stick your arm into the mouth to receive the power you desire." the dark ominous voice of the dragon echoed threw the spiritual temple. Sagara unwrapped his arm and did as he was told. Suddenly he could feel the dark flame from which the Amaterasu was derived enter his body and take root in his right arm its power was enormous more then he thought he could handle the burning sensation caused him to fall to the ground and wrestle with his agony. " this is only a spiritual connection with me to combine our full power you must find this temple in the world of the living and make a physical connection with my true body." the dragon spoke once more. Sagara screamed curses at the dragon as his agony showed no signs of fading. For days he laid on the cold stone floor cursing himself and the flame that seemed to be trying to take his arm. After what seemed like an eternity it finally seemed that he had beaten the pain, to exhausted to stand Sagara decided to rest right where he was. Suddenly he awoke in a heavy daze the world seemed to be spinning as he stared at the statue of the mysterious women. Suddenly the spirit of the women emerged and silently approached him. Sagara searched his lungs for the air to speak but was unable to utter a word. The women took his arm in her hands and examined the glyphs that had burned themselves permanently into his skin. She unwrapped the bandages off her right arm and exposed a woman's soft milky white skin the most flawless hand Sagara had ever seen this caused Sagara to silently wonder why she wore bandages all over her body she began wrapping his arm and he fell back asleep. When he woke back up he sat outside of his door leaning with his back to it. He recalled seeing the women but dismissed it as a dream. Until he looked down and saw the old bandages on his arm with an ancient script written straight down his forearm. Sagara looked up to see his door had been locked and sealed.
" hmm seems as though i'm ready." Sagara spoke to himself a smirk spreading across his face as he let his head lean back.
" my door closed a week ago." Rukia replied looking down at the exhausted boy. " what happened to your arm?" Rukia questioned looking awkwardly at his bandages.
" long story." Sagara replied. Rukia looked down at the boy who had grown so much in the past five years she stared for a moment before realizing he had knocked back out and fallen back asleep.
" what ever happened in there must have been extremely exhausting." Rukia whispered out loud. Just then she heard a door open and turned to see Inu no Taisho entering the room once more.
" how did things go in here?" he questioned the girl as he looked from her to the exhausted boy sleeping on the ground.
" I don't know to much about what hes learned but I can tell you he is much more powerful then he was before, I can feel it hes at least ten times as strong as he was, maybe more." Rukia replied looking back down at Sagara.
" and yourself?" Inu no Taisho questioned.
" although my growth was not as rapid as his I am significantly stronger and am sure I can be a positive asset to this battle." Rukia answered looking determined as she stared into Inu no Taisho eyes.
" very well it has been five days and much has changed in our world this isn't looking very good for us but well discuss it more once he awakens." Inu no Taisho spoke as h picked up Sagara and exited the room Rukia following behind him he walked back to Sagara's previous room and placed him on the bed. " when he wakes bring him to me immediately." Inu no Taisho ordered Rukia, who just nodded her head. Rukia sat in silence and watched as the young man slept peacefully. even though five years had passed for the two of them It had seemed to her that nothing has changed since the day they met, except that their rolls were now reversed.
