Chapter 17-wasn't me
Ichigo woke up the next day in the squad 9 captains room with Rukia sleeping next to him, 'I am married' he though as Rukia started to wake up
"so how does it feel to be married Mr Kurosaki?" Rukia asked
"exactly the same Mrs Kurosaki" Ichigo answered earning him a fist to the face
"you were supposed to say better because you married me" Rukia pulled her fist from his face
"no this feels familiar" Ichigo said as he rubbed his face
"well good morning lovebirds, did you two have fun last night" Hikaru walked in to the room
"what are you doing here?" Ichigo asked
"I'm here to show you my wedding present to you" he said grabbing Ichigo's wrist and dragging him out of the barracks, right outside of the squad 9 barracks was a giant chappy with Rukia's hair.
"I LOVE IT" Rukia shouted hugging the foot which was twice the size of her
"that's not my present that's from Byakuya" Hikaru dragged Rukia away kicking and screaming
He dragged the couple to a house on the outskirts of the Seireitei, "so where is this present?" Ichigo asked looking around
"it's the house" Hikaru said, causing the couple to gawk at him
"why are you giving us a house and how could you afford one this big?" Ichigo asked staring at it
"well this is my house but I never use it so I'm going to let you have it, also I paid for you honeymoon" he explained
"why are you being so nice?" Ichigo asked suspicious
"no reason I have a lot of money and I'm trying to get rid of some, I'm taking Rangiku shopping next week" he told them
"ok so we get the house no string attached?" Rukia asked
"yes it's your house now" Hikaru threw the keys at Ichigo
The couple was going to go inside when a messenger appeared and told them a captain's meeting was called.
All the captains stood in line as the head captain called the meeting to order, "captain Kyoraku has something he needs to share with all the captains"
Shunsui stepped forward, "last night after the party while I was asleep I was attacked by an assassin"
"did you manage to get a look at his face?" Jushiro asked
"he was wearing a hollow mask similar to Hikaru and he also wielded two zanpakuto" Shunsui told every one
All the captains looked at Hikaru, "wasn't me I was passed out somewhere no way I could have done it"
"what happened to the assassin?" Toshiro asked
"after I released my zanpakuto he fled" Shunsui stroked his chin, "it was weird after I released it he said he had all he needed and left without taking anything"
'no it can't be I killed him' Hikaru thought after hearing what Shunsui said 'I need to investigate this'
"maybe he wanted to study your fighting style" Jushiro said
"he could attack another one of us, I wonder who it will be" Renji said
"if anyone gets their hand on this assassin I would be delighted to dissect him and discover why he did it" Mayuri said
"I doubt anyone will capture him and his intent is not to kill so we should be fine, I suggest we just leave him alone and this pest will disappear" Hikaru said
"no we cannot leave this assassin to his own devices I order all captains to attack this assassin on sight and capture him" the head captain ordered
"I warn you my captains be vigilant this assassin could try to attack another one of you" the head captain dismissed all the captains
'I never did check to see if he was dead and I always hoped he wasn't' Hikaru thought as he left the meeting
Later that night, Soi Fon was getting ready to go to bed when she sensed some one's presence, she grabbed her zanpakuto and blocked their strike just in time it was the same hooded figure she pushed him off her and got in to an attack stance, Hikaru appeared next to her and stuck a syringe in to her neck knocking her out, "is it you?" Hikaru asked pulling off his scarf
"you haven't changed a bit" the assassin said pulling off his mask
"so it turns out you aren't dead" Hikaru stared down the assassin
"revenge is good fuel for the soul"
"why are you here and why now?" Hikaru asked
"I have trained for every day since you killed him and left me for dead all to come back here and destroy these fools for what they did and destroy you for killing him"
"my soul has been heavy with guilt for what happened back then but I have moved on and I believe you should as well" Hikaru pleaded
"no I have seen you, you have not moved on you are just running from that day and today is the day it catches you, too many days?" the assassin asked
"way too many anyway I am telling you leave, I don't want to have to kill you a second time" Hikaru gripped his zanpakuto
"don't make me laugh I have grown more powerful, I WILL MAKE YOU ATONE FOR YOU SINS HIKARU I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID" the assassin shouted at him
"I do not deny I should be punished but you played as vital a role as I did and we should be punished together for the sin is both of ours to bear" Hikaru drew his zanpakuto
"you still see him in your inner world don't you he will always be in there a reminder of your sins" the assassin turned around and walked towards the window, "our battle will not take place now when I kill you it will be spectacular and your blood shall set me free"
The assassin jumped out of the window and disappeared
"you were always the fastest" Hikaru walked out of the captains room
