Chapter 63: Step two- Gain Information.
(Old note) A/N: Here's the next chapter!~
Thought I'd let you know that every now and then I'll bring back a few classic OST's from Bleach.~
It'll give the feel of Bleach in my opinion!~ Anyway, the song listed here, as per usual...I'm sorry if it doesn't match up with the fight... I hope you like it though, I thought it was great! Took me forever to find the perfect song for her...just like Ikkaku... V.V
I hope you like this, I thought I wrote out the fight pretty well, considering there were several enemies against her :D! This chapter was 18 pages long...so this will be a long chapter, I hope it won't bore you xD!
-------
Maiya looked around, then flash-stepped out of sight. She glided through the air and it looked almost as if she was flying. Her body was horizontal with one leg bent and the other out straight, she felt the soft breeze from her speed brush against her face. The gentle gust, the sparkling stars, the illuminating moon casting its rays down upon the town, the faint screech of hollows... She widened her eyes at the cries, so she turned to her right and bolted after the said hollow.
It was attacking a man with bob-cut blonde hair, he was grinning and dodging the hollow easily; halting, she watched the male curiously before jumping in. That man...how is he able to fight that thing, isn't he human? she mentally asked, growing confused and stood there to observe.
Her hollow detector began to blink, so she looked down and viewed it with wide eyes. Raising the object, she hovered it over the hollow. It was blinking rapidly now and as she slowly moved it over to the blonde bob-cut male, it slowed down but picked back up after it landed on him. How...why is it blinking for him?! Wait...a Visored...she never told me what they looked like... contemplating in her monologue, she crouched. She watched from on top of the building and looked for any signs of that man having any abnormalities, like hollow traits. She waited...and waited...yet nothing...
"Do you seriously think you can defeat me, hollow? Don't make me laugh..." he said, gripped a sword that was on his hip, and flash-stepped past the creature. With a swift motion, he cut the mask and made the thing disintegrate. It screeched out as it died, the man had his back to the hollow the entire time. "Really, I wish hollows were smarter..." he added, looked over his shoulder at the empty space, and frowned. His teeth were shown, his upper lip curled up and his eyes were narrowed. Putting his blade over his shoulder and a hand in his pant pocket, he walked away without even realizing that someone was watching...or did he...?
Maiya kept silent, she rose the object again and directed it at him. It was blinking rapidly once more, making her eyes widen in surprise... No way... Maybe Kisaki gave me a broken detector? Hmm...no... No ordinary human can see hollows unless attacked by them a lot or has high spiritual pressure... This man...I... she gulped, clenched her free hand into a fist, and stood to her full height. She inhaled then exhaled with her eyes shut, taking a moment to calm down. As soon as she was about to flash step towards him, the same voice from him emitted from behind her.
"And, who might you be, huh? I don't think I've seen your face around these parts before, are you new?" the said man from a moment ago, appeared behind her with his sword remaining over his shoulder and a grin plastered.
She jerked her head around, mouth agape, and surprise was clear on her face. She wondered how in the world he knew she was following him, better yet...knew she was there. Smiling nervously, she rose a hand and faintly laughed. "How are you able to see me? I saw you fighting that hollow and I was about to jump in until I saw you kill it... Who are you?" she half-lied, blinked in the process, and tilted her head to one side.
He grinned a little more and relaxed a bit, taking in her appearance. Wow...she's pretty cute. Petite yet curvy, even though her chest isn't real big... Still, she's cute. he mentally noted with faint flushes on his cheeks. "The name's Shinji Hirako and, you might beeeee?" his voice trailed off with his brow raising in curiosity.
"Eermmm... I'm...Maiya Donieri... Are you...perhaps a Soul Reaper? I couldn't help but take notice of that Zanpakuto you have," she introduced and viewed the said blade that laid on his shoulder.
"That's a cute name...and yeah, well I used to be. That hollow I killed, were you going to go after it?" he asked, with his head raising up and his brown irises looking down at her, despite receiving his answer a second ago. Seeing her nod, he chuckled and slowly walked closer. "Sorry about that, so...what brings such a cutie out here?" he asked, making a cold chill run up her spine.
Why does he give me the creeps...? He just acted like some pedophile asking that! Maiya exclaimed in her head and beads of sweat rolled down her skin. "I'm here looking for some hollows, I was sent here because my Captain said there was a number of hollows that needed to be dealt with," she rose her hands up in defense and looked nervous.
Something caught his attention though, he saw the object in her hand and saw a red blinking light rapidly flickering in his direction. He squinted his gaze at it, then to her. "What's that? I don't think I've ever seen something like that before... At least, not something of that shape," Suspicion was rising in him, no normal Soul Reaper would have a hollow detector in hand if they knew how to sense spiritual energy. The better question he had, though, was....why was it blinking towards him?
https://youtu.be/sGj9roo6sAQ
His smile dropped and his focus got intense, he brought his head back down to show he was being serious now. "Tell me, can you feel spirit energy? Because I can't see nor feel any more hollows nearby... Either that thing is malfunctioning...or it's made to detect more than just mere hollows... What are you hiding...?" he asked, lowered his blade, and saw the girl gulp once more. Squinting his eyes, his grip tightened and he lowered his head more. "Well...?" he questioned.
There was no way around this...she had to do this...she knew...that this man had to be a Visored... Sighing, she shut her eyes then opened them to more of a serious look. Gripping her blade, she pulled it out, stuffed the object in her robes, and held her zanpakuto to her side. "I was sent here to kill you...not from anyone...just by my mistress... Lady Kisaki, says goodbye..." Mai darkly answered, gripped tighter on her handle, and flash-stepped out of sight.
Shinji's eyes widened for a second, then looked in the direction Maiya stood at. She was far away on top of a building's roof, opposite of him. Seeing as he and possibly others are Visoreds...it'd be best to not hold back... the young mentally noted, slowly rose her blade up in front of her form and pointed it directly out straight. Her hip moved out with the blade, her other arm lazily hanging on her other side and that same tired feature on her face.
(An old sketch but the best one I have of her shikai xD!)
He stood there, many questions roamed his mind as he watched her from the distance. Lady Kisaki....? Waaait...AURORA KISAKI?! His eyes widened at the realization and before he knew it, he heard a faint command coming from the girl. A long pause ensued as it slowly zoomed in on her. All was quiet...until she spoke...(Song ends here :D! )
"Stand back and watch...Vendethiel...Evoke..." Maiya stated as her lips frowned and showed in side-view. With that, her blade began to morph into a tight leather bracelet that had a single small chain going up to her index finger and connecting to a decently long pointer.
The pointer was shiny and black, it was sharp at the end like a pointer stick and covered half of her index finger all around. Another small chain went across her palm, connected to the sharply pointed finger cover, down to her wrist, and connected to the other side of the bracelet.
Her long, side ponytail, waved from the wind with her bangs doing the same; in her other hand she had a short metal staff, its pole was black, a sphere on top and a skull without its jaw rested on top of that. It had bat-shaped, black-looking wings that shined when the moon beamed on it. Two large-looking spider fangs seemed to make the sphere part fit perfectly in between them. Large, round eye sockets and a triangle-shaped nose socket just above the lining where teeth should be.
She looked depressed, those bags were still under her eyes, and the feeling of care slowly depleted inside. She lost Haro...her friend whom she grew up with...and now she has no one... She didn't care anymore...she didn't care about anything anymore, the only thing she did care about was completing the task that Kisaki had given her. Haro...you fought far longer than I have in life... I was and still am your servant yet...you've always treated me like a friend... You've given me hope, faith...you've given me meaning in life... But now...knowing you're gone...I just don't care about hardly anything, anymore... she said in her mind and felt like this was her last moment in life to live, she had to confess. "I...love you...my friend... I always will... I'll see you soon...you idiot..." mournfully speaking as she kept her gaze on the blondie, not once had she changed her expression.
"This pressure...she's stronger than what I thought she'd be... She has the level of a Captain, why does a rookie Soul Reaper have such high spiritual pressure...?" Shinji questioned himself until he was greeted by his other fellow Visoreds. A short girl with a single tooth and dirt blonde hair stood a few feet away and a fat man with a strict gaze was seen behind him.
He had a pink mustache and wore light green attire. A girl with green hair and a white attire stood on his other side, curiosity evident. Another man with dark green attire and spiky hair stood next to the pink mustache man, he looked confused. A man with shoulder-length wavy, blonde hair stood next to the girl with green hair and seemed worried as if he didn't want to hurt her. Another man with really short white hair, fingerless gloves, and a sleeveless shirt stood by the short dirty blonde haired girl, who seemed to have a lip risen in annoyance. Then there was an older-looking girl, she had glasses with her zanpakuto out and braided hair.
"What's going on, Shinji? Why is this Soul Reaper attacking you?!" the dirty blonde-haired girl scowled and took out her zanpakuto, getting ready for a fight.
"Lady Aurora Kisaki...has sent her here to kill us..." he answered, causing everyone else to gasp. Apparently, they all knew her, Hirako must have told them about her at some point. "I wouldn't lower your guards...she's no rookie Soul Reaper..." he added with a shadow covering half his upper face. Knowing that they understood by hearing their grunts of comprehension, he prepared himself too. "Hopefully she won't be as bad as Aizen..." the blond muttered, just to get cut off from whatever else he was about to say and heard her shout a command.
"Kibou Bakuhatsu!" Maiya yelled from afar., nothing was happening...they all waited(Play the song: Xandria – Nightfall instrumental I can't seem to find it on youtube anymore but if you manage to then please pm me or play it, thank you! ;w;) until they were all taken aback by a large flood of pink-looking fluffs. The creatures had white graceful wings, they were nothing but cute pink little fluff balls with small feet and kitten mouths. They filled the night sky, as they rushed after his little group and made them stagger almost.
"Everyone, watch out! They may be cute but I doubt they're harmless!" the man with a pink mustache shouted, making everyone nod and vanish.
She just stood there, watching her summons fly after each individual Visored; one landed on the snaggle-toothed girl's arm. When she looked down, it peeped out cutely and started to turn red...she widened her eyes at it and suddenly...it exploded. An explosion sounded off in the distance, then another and another. It showed Maiya standing there with her surroundings spiraling all around her and showing all the pink fluffs exploding from around.
The explosions were big enough to take out a small group of enemies. She pointed her finger out again and made the scene stop spinning all around her. "Aoi Chou..." she commanded, soon dark blue butterflies fluttered out from behind her and joined in with the fluffs. There were about eighty of those fluffs covering the sky and thirty butterflies. The butterflies just fluttered in the sky, watching the visoreds all fight off the fluffs.
"WATCH OUT EVERYONE, STRIKE AT THE PINK THINGS AND DON'T LET THEM TOUCH YOU!" Shinji yelled out, trying to make sure that no one gets hit by the mini-nuke fur balls. "LOVE, BEHIND YOU!" he shouted to gain his attention.
The man with a dark green suit turned around, pulled out his zanpakuto, and summoned his shikai. It turned into a large mallet-looking weapon and swatted at it, hitting it like a baseball. It exploded on contact, causing a large sphere of power to erupt and engulf the man.
The girl with the braids kept slicing the furballs in half, they each exploded after she got past them. She was speeding through them with a mask on her face, it looked like it had a northern star shape in the middle. Behind her, the explosions sounded off and it looked like a line of mini-nukes.
The girl with green hair had her mask on too, it looked like it had bug eyes and antennas. "MASHIROOOOOO!~" she began, rose a leg only for two fluffs to attach to her face and leg. She struggled to pull them off however, she managed to get three off and had only one explosion get her. She was sent crashing downwards from the blast, smoke sizzling off her form. The man with white hair appeared under her and caught her with one arm, then took out a knife looking Zanpakuto.
The light formed around his fist and he punched the space before him, destroying the herd that was coming after them. Everything was happening so fast, Shinji couldn't really keep up with everything. So many fluffs were charging after them, filling the sky and making it kind of hard to see.
Shinji used his Zanpakuto and pulled on his mask, making his pressure rise tremendously. He charged forward, slicing through each fluff much like the girl with the glasses.
Watching all of this, Maiya stood there with her pointer-fingered hand lowered. Countless explosions kept erupting in the distance, her emotionless mauve eyes watched as they all mostly got caught by the nukes and were sent flying back. Raising her finger up in the air, she said the same thing as before and summoned more fluffs; eighty more came flying past her, brushing past her form.
Suddenly from behind her, after the fluffs got past her, Shinji managed to get there and was about to slice her backside. She flash-stepped, appeared in the air floating, and looked down at the man with unchanging features while two butterflies floated around her. The very man charged at her then swatted his blade and had it come in contact with that black metal-looking staff she had in her other hand. "Why are you listening to that woman...?" he asked behind his mask, yet not one answer was given...just pure silence.
They flashed back and forth, hitting blade to staff each time, and got faster as time went by. The others were too occupied with the fluffs to join Hirako at the moment.
(Song ends here!~) She appeared down on a building below, stabbed her staff in the ground, and rose her voice as loud as possible. "SHNEIIIIIIIIIDER!" Suddenly that staff slowly morphed, it grew taller and its head grew in size. It grew long stick-looking, black metal legs, arms, and two spikes appeared on the edge of its broad shoulders. The very same sphere under its skull remained, the wings on its head were now its hands, thin lines on its arm, shoulder, leg, hips, hands, and feet joints became visible.
Blue electricity sparked between the spikes on both shoulders, its emotionless round and large eye sockets remained. It kept its triangular nose socket and teeth markings where teeth should be, yet it still didn't have a jaw. Those spider-looking curved fangs that were attached to either side of its mouth, grew sharper looking. His skull was white like a hollow along with its fangs, its body looked as if it were made of black metal and its chest was a perfect V shape... All in all...it looked like a hollowed version of Slenderman...only with a skull with two curved spider fangs and bat-looking wings for hands. It was really tall, skinny, shined when the moon rays hit it and it spooked the living sh*t out of Shinji...
He halted in the air, his brown eyes behind his mask widened in shock and all those fluffs were finally killed by the others; they all survived...but barely. Even the big man in the light green suit had a hard time because he could only focus on a few of them at a time and use his kido. They all stared with caution and slight fear, all having their guards up. Suddenly, that very creature's body began to turn and face Maiya. It kneeled down on one knee, head down, and showed respect to her. "What is your wish, my Queen?~" its voice was creepy...it bounced from high to low pitch, with each spoken word. (Nothing like Aaroniero xD)
"Stay close but kill those Visoreds, I can't do close-quarters combat unless...-never mind, just do it," With that, the creature known as Shneider rose to its feet and slowly turned its head alone...around to view the others. Seeing them gasp, lean back slightly, and raise their blades, made it chuckle. Now, the rest of its body turned to face them, then it rose its wing directly at them all. "Yes, my lady.~" that was its simple answer. Suddenly, it shot out a...red beam...that seemed so similar...to a cero. It gave off that same sound, had the same red color, and looked the same; it might as well be a Cero then...
A large, wide ray-looking Cero covered most of the sky and nearly engulfed the Visoreds if they hadn't moved out of the way in time. "What is that thing?! Shinji, why does that thing look like a hollow?!" the dirty blonde-haired girl shouted at him with a finger-pointing Shneider's way.
"As if I know! She's able to summon things by the looks of it, keep on your toes!" he yelled back, just to have the mustache man speak up from behind him. They were all floating in the air, keeping a good distance between her and Shneider.
"Shinji, why not let us keep it distracted, while you take care of her in the background? I know we've been doing that with those pink things, but a strategy is still a strategy," he spoke with his mask over his face, put his hands together, and waited.
"Fine by me, Hachi...but we don't know what it can do... If it's able to speak and act accordingly to its master's orders...then it's bound to pack a punch, harder than those pink nukes," Shinji replied, then moved his attention back down at the tall, hollow Slenderman thing. Even though they didn't know who Slenderman was...it's just a good way to describe Shneider.
It kept silent, its emotionless, perfectly round sockets kept gazing at the Visoreds. Suddenly, it rose its wing-shaped hand, and out came a hadou spell. It was hadou number 33, Sokatsui and it was so strong, it covered the same amount of space as its cero; they evaded it and moved away from each hadou that shot out. It was the same hadou over and over again until another one came out in a much larger form. It was hadou number 73, Soren Sokatsui. It shot out and almost hit Love and the dirty blonde-haired girl, they had split apart in order to avoid it.
"Go Lisa!" Shinji shouted, then watched her charge after Shneider. Soon the others excluding Hirako, all began to distract the creature by throwing attacks at it. Hachi put his hands together and formed a kido looking rectangular shape between his hands. Love went in and thwacked Shneider upside the head and sent it towards the pink mustache man, who tried to catch him inside that Kido shape he made.
Hachi dodged the moment Shneider spun and swatted out his bat wing-like hand, those wings were sharp like a blade... This time, everyone circled around the slender hollow man, the male with the long, wavy blonde hair straightened up and moved his hands up. He acted like a music director, who swatted his hands out to make certain people in the band play their part. He moved his fingers, made glistening string wrap around Shneider, and entangle it. Hachi put up his hands, made a red box form around its head, and had it slice its head off. Everyone waited, watched the head fall, and thought that it was dead.
What they weren't expecting...was for that thing to have its head float back up and reattach to its body. Hachi's eyes widened, they all gasped and went in for another try. This time Hachi bound the creature, the man with the wavy blonde locks kept bindings on the thing, the white-haired male threw a fist and made an impact upon the creature. Only for that thing to suddenly spun in place like a top spinner, its arms were outstretched and broke all the bindings that were on it; it went to attack them so they had to keep on their toes.
While they were trying to deal with Shneider, Shinji made his way past them all and went over to Maiya. He thought about attacking her, but instead, he wanted to try and convince her that working for Kisaki would get her nowhere. He stood behind her only to have her turn around and surprise him. How'd she know I was behind her...? Interesting, she did the same thing when I sneaked up on her earlier. he mentally noted as he viewed those emotionless mauve eyes of hers. "Listen... I don't want to hurt you, if you're working for Kisaki then you're going down the wrong path. Tell me, why are you following her orders, why...are you doing all this for her...?" he asked and kept his guard up in case she attacked.
Maiya just stood there, not even blinking, and kept her depressed gaze upon the man. "Kisaki hates abnormal beings... Anyone that has more than one blood trait, such as a hollow mixed with a human, or a hollow with a Soul Reaper...and the like; she demands to have them killed... She sees it as saving them from themselves and from others. Killing them is kindness, so not even they would have to suffer from their own traits..." Mai answered, her voice was practically monotone, the poor girl truly lost her care for anything now...
"That doesn't mean all half-breeds or abnormal beings, are hostile or a threat to themselves and to others... Look at me, I tamed my hollow within and mastered it. I've learned to control it and use its mask, those who can't control it will be consumed and turned into one. Abnormal beings and half-breeds, they're just a start of a new species is all. Something new to come into life that has yet to evolve completely, I don't like it either... Neither of us does but we live with it and deal with it. How could killing half-breeds or abnormal beings, be a kindness when they have a life and a heart just like everyone else? You're taking away innocent lives, but for what?" he asked, he took his mask off and had a serious feature. He really didn't want to kill her, not just because she's a fellow Soul Reaper...but because he knew she was misguided.
"My friend and I...grew up together. He saved me when I was little, I was poisoned and he sucked it out with his fangs... I had nowhere to go, no home, no sort of way to get food... He saved me...he was a lord at an old, abandoned mansion-like, Japanese home and he offered me a place there...in return to be his servant... We treated each other more like friends than servant and master... One day, a strange being came to our doorstep and attacked us. It was a half-breed, a vampire mixed with something else and was consumed by its own traits... It was insane and murderous. It hurt Haro really bad, almost killed me, and killed Haro's people... Haro managed to kill it and we ended up finding out that it was one of his family members... Kisaki and her group found us, told us how they hunt down those kinds of beings and to prevent tragedies that we went through, from happening... We both wanted to join them and they let us... That thing destroyed our mansion, leaving us with nothing to go by and Kisaki offered us a place where she lived... I owe my life to her...and to Haro... Though seeing that Haro is gone...all I have left is Kisaki..." her explanation as to why those two joined her, was astonishing.
Shinji's eyes were shocked, mouth in a line and soon his features got engulfed with sympathy. He felt bad for her, even though all that happened...he still didn't want to kill her. All he did, was put his mask on and flash out of view. She turned to face him only for her two butterflies to get cut in half and for his face to come real close to hers. Her mauve eyes widened a fraction, those butterflies were like eyes at the back of her head...literally.
"You have to learn to move one and forgive that person... Even though that half-breed did that, it wasn't its fault... It was consumed, its traits went against its will and made it go mad. You being a Soul Reaper now, you're stronger and you don't have to worry about getting hurt by them anymore..." What she wasn't expecting, was for him to hug her. She grew more shocked, she tried to struggle out of his grasp but he wouldn't let go. "I'm sorry..." he whispered and that same sympathetic expression remained on his face behind that mask. Before she got to say or do anything, he knocked her out by hitting the end of his blade against the back of her neck. She let out a grunt, then went limp in his arms; Shneider faded away and so had all the butterflies, everyone that was fighting looked around and questioned what happened.
Over, came Lisa and the others, meeting up with Shinji and discarding their masks. "Is she...?" the girl with green hair began to question after leaning over and put her hands on her knees when their leader cut her off.
"No Mashiro, she's not dead... There's still a small spark of hope that she can be saved. Anyone following Kisaki is a bad thing, she would have died for nothing... Do you remember when she attacked us after we got kicked out of the Soul Society and had other people with her?" he asked, looked over at everyone, and saw their faces sweat.
"Yeah, that woman tried killing us before because we were considered hybrids..." Lisa spoke up, then it was Hachi's turn.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, her followers looked mislead and confused... They acted like they knew what they were doing and why...but their mental stability was really off..." he spoke and soon saw Shinji nod and was about to open his mouth until the white-haired man spoke up.
"That lady was messed up... If only she knew how we got this way...." he stated and groaned, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah Kensei, I know...and this girl here was almost gone... If I hadn't knocked her out and just allowed her to keep attacking, she would've really lost herself," Shinji replied, then the snaggletooth girl came up and crossed her arms in anger.
"I'd screw up that old hag if I ever saw her again! Tch- this girl's dangerous and you're just gonna spare her?!" she raged with narrowed eyes and a scowl.
"Yes Hiyori, I will! There's still a sliver of a chance that she can be saved! I don't know about you but an innocent damsel in distress doesn't deserve to go down the dark path. Well...at least not a cute one.~" he teased and looked down at Maiya's unconscious form, smirking.
"AND I'M NOT?! I swear, you say that to all the girls but ME!" Hiyori shouted angrily and unfolded her arms.
Though something drew their attention far towards the distance and it was familiar energy, that they've felt before. "Kisaki...she's here..." Shinji mumbled, squinted his eyes, and allowed the shade to engulf his face.
~~~Elsewhere~~~
"WHAT?!" Yamamoto's voice echoed, showing the outside of his office and many vampire Soul Reapers trying to break down the door. It changed to show him standing in front of his desk with the report in his hand, scanning his gaze through its contents. "Aurora Kisaki is her name, she owns a gothic shop in a populated area somewhere in the Rukongai? Haro Tatsibura was following him with the intent to kill, he could feel it from the man without even having to look his way..." he began, reading how about how Morgus knew that Tatsibura was going to attack him and how he had to fight the man. "By how this letter is written... Setsuen planned ahead in the letter... He predicted half of what was going to occur..." Yama mumbled, his strict gaze never leaving his eyes.
He got word from Unohana, that both Haro and Morgus were killed. "Haro Tatsibura was clearly working for someone; he thoroughly examined the shop as he was escorted by its owner and took notice of a hidden door that no ordinary shop owner could have... He spotted short glances from the owner at times, even if it was for a split second, and noticed how Haro was smirking at him when he approached the check-out counter... He's seen many signs of caution from them as if they were hiding something," he added, sighed, and placed the letter back down onto his desk. "Aurora Kisaki... I have not heard that name in about a thousand years... Kisaki, what have you been doing...?" he questioned, his eyes went from strict to worried and emotional; it was as if he knew her and I mean really, knew her... I must contact Urahara... I know for a fact, that those two know each other. he mentally stated, then made his way into a secluded room that had a giant screen in it. He stood there, cane in hand, and his gaze sharply viewing the black monitor.
He had someone turn on the screen and contact Kisuke; when that happened, the screen lit up and Urahara was shown; he had his hat off and a big grin plastered. "Hello, Head Captain, is there something you need?" he questioned, eyes shut and a carefree expression was evident; he was fanning himself, it must've been hot in there...
"Yes, I must ask if you recall a woman known as Aurora kisaki... Captain Kyouraku and Captain Ukitake had come across a file from over a thousand years ago, she was a Soul Reaper that...joined my squad when I was a mere Captain," he said only for Kisuke to chuckle and wave his index finger back and forth. He rose a brow, questioning his action. "What is it...?"
"Head Captain, I believe she's been in your squad for more than two thousand years, not one thousand.~ I do remember her, I was just a young lad when I met her! Boy was she pretty... The last time I checked, she was of royal blood and she was your Lieutenant back then before...well...she disappeared and you got a new one. Wasn't she the first Vampire to ever become a Soul Reaper?" he asked and rose a brow in question.
Yama just sighed and closed his eyes, nodding. "Yes...she was... There were a few other Vampiric Soul Reapers after her, but they all seemed to know her and would kneel before her when her presence was before them... I have always wondered why they would kneel until those records stated that she was of royal blood from a wealthy family," Yama answered, opened his eyes, and gave a strict stare. "Kisaki, she was my pupil and like a daughter to me... I know her quite well, enough to know how she thinks," he began, soon having the grip on his cane tighten. "If what Setsuen said was true in the letter, I need to find her and speak with her! If she is the culprit behind all of this, I cannot allow her to go on anymore!" he rose his voice with seriousness lacing his words, if she wasn't the culprit...then who was? He pondered on that mental thought until he heard Kisuke speak up.
"Head Captain, if I might add, she disappeared during the day when lord Daomig'rah did his rampage. The gigai that was spotted in the world of the living went missing at the same time she had; and by what you told me, that the man who killed Daomig'rah's wife was killed by him... I can only assume, that man was the owner of that gigai, the man...was in squad thirteen," Urahara informed, his expression went from carefree to strict and his mouth formed a line.
"Do you have any knowledge, of who that man was? Who he knew, what his family was, his relations with others or backstory?" Yamamoto questioned; much to his surprise though, Kisuke nodded.
"I actually have a record on him somehow, I was looking through the documents that I had stored here and came across a file. It said, Ronin Reicon on the cover. It gave a detailed description of him, he was a lone samurai who ended up becoming a Soul Reaper after Kisaki introduced him to the Spirit Academy. His zanpakuto type is...rather unusual; his zanpakuto was a Glass type, preferably a Bakudo type...being able to use a technique to cover himself up with glass so he could not be seen, only he could see his opponent. He was a quiet man but had an honest, strong heart with a stubborn side to him. His height was seven feet tall and eleven in half inches, he weighed around two hundred- to two hundred and fifty pounds of pure muscle; his fighting style was that of a samurai. He mastered in hand to hand combat, kendo, and hadou. He has also had the ability to control his spiritual pressure so well, that he could concentrate it on other objects to make them float... He mastered hadou number one and number thirty-two." he listed, trying to remember from the top of his head.
He moved his eyes up to the side in thought, trying to recall the rest. "Excuse me, I'll go get that file... There's more to it than that," he added, soon left the screen and had Yama squint his gaze at what was mentioned.
So...this man is dangerous...if his gigai was collected by my old pupil...and if I know her right...she would have made it to where his gigai was as useful as possible. She was a very smart woman, she was able to create robotic gigais and modify them along with mod souls... I remember when the Captain of the twelfth division wanted her to join his squad, due to her intellectual mind... Kisaki...more and more evidence I receive, points to you... he said in his mind with slight mourn, he was about...eighty percent sure it was her now.
After Kisuke got back, he held up a folder with the man's picture on the front. He had light gray hair up in a samurai's ponytail and had a strong face. Narrowed eyes silver and small stubble of hairs on his jaw was evident but barely noticeable. He didn't have any hair above his lip, nor under his bottom lip or any sideburns. His skin tone was naturally pale, similar to Ukitake's. Yamamoto studied his appearance until recognition hit him... "I see, so that's Ronin Reicon...? I remember seeing him, he seemed to stay close to Kisaki and barely ever left her side..." he mumbled before Urahara spoke up.
Kisuke opened the file and read what he couldn't remember. "Ronin Reicon was hired to be Lady Aurora Kisaki's bodyguard, after an...incident...that happened at her home. After she decided to become a Soul Reaper, Ronin had been introduced to the Academy so he too, could become one. He became stronger so he could protect her better, he was nine hundred years old, almost a thousand when he was killed," Kisuke stated then looked up at the elder with a strict gaze, he had an odd feeling about this man.
"Is that all the file tells you?" Yama asked, he needed more information... Seeing Urahara nod, the old man just dropped his eyes to the floor in thought and grumbled. "Alright... Thank you for your cooperation, Urahara," Thanking the man, Kisuke was about to reply when a loud bang occurred not too far from his shop; both men grew questionable looks.
"Sorry about this, I have to go see what that was all about.~" Mr. hat and clogs stated with a smile, before leaving the room. He left the screen on and Yama shook his head at that.
