Chapter 6: The Gates Of Hell, Her Greatest Fear

Byakuya slung Bellatrix over his shoulder then flash stepped to the roof of the prison. Once there he sat her down and took all the could be used against him. Her wand was snapped and all portkeys were shattered. He kept the spell on her and stepped back to admire the glare she was sending him. Hers was nothing compared to Captain Unohana. "Well know Bellatrix, its time we get to having a proper reunion. I'm sure you have missed me just as I have missed you." He was going to indulge just a little bit to get his revenge on her.

- Warning: Torture Scene -

"I don't know you but I will happily gut you for my master!" Bellatrix snarled as she tried to get free of her odd binding.

He clicked his tongue in disappointment as he slid his fingers through her wild mane of hair. Then yanked on the locks as he bent down to be in her face. His steel eyes grew ever colder as he let his mask slip just a bit. This woman was the scum of the earth and she deserved everything coming to her. "But you do know me Bella. How could you ever forget the boy you practically killed in the Death Chamber? After all it was my past self that pulled Sirius away from your killing curse."

Bellatrix hissed at the harsh tug but couldn't hide her look of surprise. "Harry Potter was declared dead. You aren't him!" This man is nothing like the boy she had killed for her beloved master.

"That is where you are partially correct Bella. The only thing that survived was my soul. A higher being saw the wisdom in giving me a better chance at one day facing your master." He let her hair go and pulled Senbonzakura from his sheath. Circling her like she was prey he let the sharp metal run across her skin. "Have you ever heard of Soul Reapers?" He asked as he felt the wave of reassurance wash over him from his Zanpakuto.

Her breath quickened as she felt the true hand of fear. This man had killed and would do so again. But if she stalled maybe her master would save her. It never occurred to her that she wouldn't be saved. "They are nothing but a myth. They don't exist." She wished she could be free and kill this liar. There was no way this man was Harry Potter.

He shifted his sword and plunged it into her shoulder. Her scream was rather therapeutic in some sense. "And yet I am proof that they exist. So tell me this then Bella, why do think I returned here?" He yanked the blade out then plunged into her stomach. He knew where all the fatal points were on the body. Wherever he stabbed wasn't anywhere fatal.

Bella couldn't help but scream from the pain igniting in her body. She normally had a high tolerance for pain but this was unlike anything she had ever experienced. "Go fuck yourself!" She snarled between gritted teeth. This whatever he was would regret the day he was ever born.

He yanked the blade out and gave her the coldest look possible. He had learned from the best, Retsu was an interesting teacher in that regard. "A lady shouldn't be so vulgar especially someone who comes from noble blood." Byakuya was pretty sure this woman was so far gone in her insanity that being of noble birth didn't even register on her radar. Instead he held the blade to her cheek and pressed it against her skin firmly. "I am here to finish what your oh so mighty master has started. I came to kill the abomination and his reign of terror. Sadly you won't get to see that fight or his downfall."

Bella had nothing to say to that and she was running out of ways to stall the man. "You know nothing of noble blood, you are just a filthy halfblood!" She was still trying all the same, she wouldn't let this man near her master.

"That's rich coming from you. Did you know your beloved master is a halfblood. Son of a squib mother and a muggle father. He told my past self when Harry was only twelve years old." He cut her cheek before lowering the blade and stabbing it into her thigh. Then twisted it until his blade met resistance. He needed to finish this up soon and then call in Mayuri.

Bellatrix knew nothing of her masters past and so she kept her mouth shut. Tears welled in her eyes as the pain tripled in its intensity. Now she knew her master wouldn't get here in time.

Byakuya pulled Senbonzakura out and flicked his blade. Cleaning the blood off before he used it to summon the gates of Hell. He had been in front of these gates once before. To help Ichigo Kurosaki save his sister and lieutenant as well as the Quincy boy. It felt so long ago but that day still haunts him on occasion. As soon as the gates appeared he moved away from Bellatrix. A large skeletal hand reached out and grabbed the bound woman. Pulling her into its depths and all he could hear was her terror filled screams.

- Torture Scene Over -

Byakuya sheathed his Zanpakuto and pulled out his soul pager. Hitting the number for the mad scientist that was Captain of the 12th Squad. What is it you need Captain Kuchiki I am a bit busy. He rolled his eyes and used his free hand to play with his bangs. Being away from home has made it easier to express himself more. "I have a bound dementor for you and the body of a freshly killed werewolf. Am I to assume you wish to study them?" He asked as he flash stepped back to the front gates. Then headed inside to get the dementor he had caught.

You assume correctly Captain Kuchiki. I will send Nemu to your current location straight away. He pulled the pager away as soon as he heard the call end. The man will forever be a mystery to him. A few seconds later Nemu had arrived via her own Senkaimon. He pointed to the bound dementor and the werewolf body next to it. "Have fun lieutenant Kurosutchi." He watched her as she gathered up the two and left. Sighing he went around each of the guards and wiped their memories. Replacing them with something more believable. Once done he released them all and disappeared from Azkaban Prison. He would check the seal out another time. For now he wanted to get back to base and sleep.
