Chapter 18: Issues at hand

At the squad 5 barracks

Still at the squad 5 barracks, Shinji said to himself, "If soul suicide occurs, Momo would die … but at the same time she does not show signs of hollowfication but if Aizen had done something to her, she would have died or hollowfied before I came back and took over the squad again."

Shinji stood up and walk a lap around his room and sat down.

He said to himself, "Something doesn't add up, how can I not notice any foul reiryoku … but more importantly if she had been infected how do I approach the topic to her?"

Shinji sighed and continued with his paperwork but at the same time giving a worried look that his lieutenant may end up like him due to his mistake in the past.

At the Shinigami Research Development Institute

Captain Kurotsuchi was sitting on his chair in front of his big screen looking on articles about hollowfication.

The screen shows the known vizards and some early notes by Kisuke Urahara regarding hollowfication.

Captain Kurotsuchi looked calm but he was angry as there weren't a lot of information on the topic.

He said to himself, "If I cannot find any information, then I would create new information with any means necessary."

A hell butterfly came in and told him that all captains and lieutenants of the 13 Court Guard Squads are to assemble at the squad 1 barracks immediately for an emergency meeting.

Captain Kurotsuchi laughed loudly and said, "This is my chance!"

At the squad 1 barracks

All captains and lieutenants went into their positions.

Head captain Yamamoto looked around and said, "We have an urgent issue, recently patrols in Karakura town had been attacked by an unknown group. What makes this situation urgent is the fact that squad 13 lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki was sent to Karakura town to investigate the matter and was badly wounded and might have died if not for the intervention of the substitute shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends. "

Head captain Yamamoto looked at captain Kuchiki and said, "Captain Kuchiki, I have news that your sister is alright."

Byakuya gave a relax face and said, "Thank you for the information head captain."

Head captain Yamamoto said, "Captain Kurotsuchi has been earlier tasked by me to look into the attacks, I would now permit him to share his findings."

Captain Kurotsuchi stood forward and said, "They left a fragment of their amour and weapon after withdrawing. I took the remaining fragments and did an analysis on the symbol on one of the fragments and concluded it was a symbol of the chaos and oblivion."

Captain Kyoraku, captain Ukitake and captain Unohana stared at captain Kurotsuchi.

Captain Kurotsuchi continued, "You all should know by now that this supposed unknown group is the knights of chaos and oblivion. This time round they are seriously going to destroy the soul society."

All the captains gave a serious look.

Captain Kurotsuchi said, "This concludes my findings so far."

Captain Kurotsuchi took a step back to be back in line.

Head captain Yamamoto said, "I would now form an investigation team to investigate the knights of chaos and oblivion, Squad 10 captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, Squad 12 lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi, Squad 6 lieutenant Renji Abarai and lastly Squad 5 lieutenant Momo Hinamori. You are to report to the world of the living and aid Squad 13 lieutenant Rukia Kuchiki in the investigation! Squad 2 captain Soi Fon, your squad would prepare to attack the enemy, Squad 4 captain Retsu Unohana, prepare your squad to heal the wounded, Squad 12 captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi you are placed overall in charge of this issue and the rest of the squads are to defend the Seireitei!"

Head captain Yamamoto banged his staff onto the ground and the members of the investigation squad left the room immediately.

At Momo's room

Momo was packing her stuff for her trip, at the same time Tobiume materialised in front of Momo.

Tobiume said, "Momo, I am having a bad feeling on what is going to happen later on."

Momo sighed and said, "I agree with you Tobiume, but since I have been assigned, let's do the best we can!"

Tobiume smiled.

Momo said, "Tobiume, why is your pink sash dark red?"

Tobiume froze for a moment and said, "I wanted to have a change in colour!"

After speaking to Momo, Tobiume disappeared.

Inside Momo's mind

Tobiume said to herself, "That was close…"

All of a sudden an eerie voice came from the back, "When are you going to tell her truth? You know you cannot hide me from her, I would eventually take over you and her?"

After that being said, the eerie voice began to give an evil laugh.

Author's note

Who do you think the eerie voice belonged to?

The next few chapters are about Captain Kurotsuchi and Momo

If possible I would also like to have all of you readers like and give inputs on my story so far.

If possible I would try to update the story every week.

Within the next few chapters the first enemy would appear.

Thanks for reading, reviewing my story and I hope you enjoy it.
