Chapter 19-Hiraku
Sajin sat in his office waiting for the signal from Renji, he was doing paper work when he heard, "good thing none of you figured it out" Sajin drew his zanpakuto and saw the assassin sitting in the window, "now we wait"
"for what?" Sajin asked pointing his blade at the man
"for me" Hikaru appeared next to the giant captain
"good you're here w….." Sajin was cut off by Hikaru sticking a syringe in him
"sorry but this is my fight" Hikaru said
"why Hikaru" Sajin fell to the floor
"so glad you remembered and here I thought you had forgotten all about me"
"no it was one of the last good memories I have of you" Hikaru thought back
Flashback
Hikaru was slashing at a dummy slicing it to bits when he felt someone flick his head, "hey Hikaru I got a riddle for you?"
"what is it I doubt you could out smart me" Hikaru said
"tweedledum tweedledee the number I'm thinking of it the number"
"3" Hikaru said instantly
"no 7" he let out laugh flicking Hikaru on the head again
End flashback
Hikaru drew his zanpakuto along with the assassin, "AWAKEN AND ILLUMINATE, SOZO NO OCHITA KAMIGAMI" they were both now wearing black shoulder guards and silver gauntlets
"I have spent years collecting zanpakuto, I wanted to have all the captains zanpakuto as well but as long as I get to kill you, now conceal" the room filled with mist
"GET BACK HERE" Hikaru ran in to the mist and slashed at a shadow only to find mist, "WHERE ARE YOU"
"I'm here, I'm all around you" Hikaru couldn't tell where his voice was coming from, Hikaru jumped to the side just as a sword came out of the mist
He ran towards where it had come from and came face to face with Tarou, "no you're dead, you can't be here" Hikaru backed away in shock
"but I am here don't you see me" Tarou said reaching for Hikaru, Hikaru swatted his hand away
"NO I KILLED YOU, I SAW YOU DIE YOU'RE DEAD" Hikaru shouted at his brother
"why did you kill me?" Tarou asked
"I didn't mean to, it was an accident" Hikaru was frozen in place
"even so you must pay, don't you agree?" Tarou just stood there looking at Hikaru
"yes but WHY NOW?" Hikaru screamed tormented
"I sent him now because you stole his life as well as mine" Hikaru dropped his zanpakuto and fell to his knees, "just give up and this can all be over"
"fine I give up, I must pay for what I have done" Hikaru fell on to his hands and bowed his head as tears fell from his eyes
"good now you can die" Tarou's form shifted and changed in to the assassin's with his sword raised, he was about to bring it down when
"Bushogoma" a whirlwind came inbetween Hikaru and the assassin, Shunsui and the other captains ran in to the room
"what is going on here?" the head captain demanded
"my exit" the assassin disappeared
Hikaru was taken to squad 1 and was now standing before the captains and lieutenants, "first thing first why did you drug captain Komamura?"
"the assassin is after me so he is mine to take out and mine alone" Hikaru told them
"and why exactly is this assassin after you?" Byakuya asked
"his name is Hiraku and he is my twin brother" he told them
"and why is he after you?" Renji asked
"it started years ago, we were always the best of friends we shared everything secrets, a face and unfortunately a zanpakuto" Hikaru started
Flashback
"I just learned the name of my zanpakuto so you're going down Hikaru" Hiraku said
"I have learned my zanpakuto name before you so I'm gonna win" Hikaru drew both his zanpakuto along with his brother
"this is a friendly match on need for threats" Tarou stood on the side lines
"I DON'T CARE, NOW AWAKEN AND ILLUMINATE, SOZO NO OCHITA KAMIGAMI" they both shouted before charging at each other, just before their blades were going to clash Tarou's sword got inbetween them
"what are you doing?" they both asked
"you both have the same zanpakuto" Tarou looked at them in shock
"I never noticed but I guess we do" Hiraku scratched the back of his neck
"you're so stupid" Hikaru said
"and you're slow" Hiraku came back
"THAT WAS WHEN WE WERE LITTLE" Hikaru shouted at him
"no you can't have the same zanpakuto" Tarou said
"why?" they both asked turning to their older brother
"central 46 will force you to kill each other if you have the same zanpakuto" Tarou told them, "there are legends about it"
"I would never kill my clone" they both said
"we agreed you were my clone" Hikaru said
"no you were my clone" Hiraku stated
"you two go do something else I'll figure this out" Tarou walked off worried
Later that night, Tarou sat in their family's garden when Hiraku came up to him, "what is it?" Tarou asked
"I don't want to kill Hikaru so I will give up sozo" Hiraku raised his sword about to break it on the other one when he heard
"NOOOO" Hiraku side stepped as Hikaru flew out of nowhere and accidently ran Tarou through, Tarou drooped to the ground coughing up blood
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE HIKARU, YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT" Hiraku charged at the future captain
Hikaru jumped out of the way of his brothers blade and got in to a defence stance blocking all the incoming strikes "d-d-ddon't" Tarou tried to stop them but was too weak
Hikaru countered an incoming strike and punched Hiraku in the face breaking his defence and running him through, Hiraku fell on to Hikaru's shoulder, "I will not die, I will hunt you forever and will not stop until you have paid for what you have done here today" Hiraku whispered in his ear, "you will not be happy until I run you through like you have run me through"
Hikaru dropped Hiraku on the ground and ran to Tarou's side, "d-d-don't kill each other, please" he said weakly
"don't worry we're both still alive" tears started to fall from both their eyes as Tarou started to glow and turn to reishi
End of flashback
Hikaru finished reciting his story to the captains and lieutenant s, "wait I thought you only had two brothers" Shuhei said
"well I actually have four" Hikaru corrected him
"so he want's revenge and is collecting our zanpakuto to do it" Ichigo summarized, "so we just don't release out zanpakuto and he's stuck he can't kill us or gain out zanpakuto"
"no he would just kill you" Hikaru stated
"but he would lose our zanpakuto" Renji said
"not true, I told you that I gain new zanpakuto by meeting their released form in battle but I can also gain someone's zanpakuto by killing them but it is dangerous I will take their zanpakuto spirit and if I take too many zanpakuto spirits they can and will crush my own soul"
"so have you taken any zanpakuto spirits?" Renji asked
"yes one" Hikaru told them
"so head captain what are we to do about Hiraku?" Byakuya asked
"you will do nothing I will face him" Hikaru said walking to the door when someone grabbed his arm, he turned to see Isane
"if you go then he will kill you" she said trying to pull him back
"so what it is what I deserve for what I have done and who would care" Hikaru said in monotone
"I would because- because I love you Hikaru, you helped me become stronger and everyone needs you" Isane confessed
Hikaru steeled his heart, "that maybe but I still have to face him" Hikaru pushed Isane off of him and walked out stopping at the door
"when you meet my brother release your zanpakuto and tell him I will be wanting to finish the battle we never started" Hikaru took off his captains coat and walked out leaving it on the ground
