Bleach Fan Fiction ❯ Heaven vs Hell ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

The town of Karakura went by as an early morning would begin. The honks of cars filled the air and streets flooded with people. And guess what day it was... yup Monday. So the people had mixed emotions about how their day was going to start. The last thing on their minds was being pushed down by an unknown blur leaving dust behind its trail. The only color that stood out was the orange that appeared to be its hair color. Ichigo ran with as much speed as he could down the street. It was pretty much clear on his face that he was mad at a certain someone.

 

“Damn you Rukia! Why the hell did you leave me behind?! Just five more minutes left and I still have half a mile before I get there! You're gonna pay for this!!!”

 

But he knew that despite all he said, he still admired the shinigami... Hell maybe even loved her. From the day she was taken back to Soul Society to be executed to recently, his feelings slowly grew. The only thing holding him back from confessing was his pride. Bleh! Men don't say things that mushy... Including Ichigo himself. Besides, it wasn't his style. He was more like a macho man rather than a soft one that opens up to everyone immediately... Ugh! That's embarrassing! After all, there's the fact that Rukia might not feel the same way.

 

Yes! He could see the school getting closer.

 

“All right! I'm gonna make it!”

 

It got closer...

 

And closer...

 

And closer...

 

And closer...

 

Just a little bit more...

 

Almost there...

 

Just an inch left...

 

Just as he was about to put his foot down...

 

CRASH

 

He froze. Ichigo had a look of despair on his face.

 

'Why me?'

 

He turned round and saw a car that was crushed from top to bottom. An ear shattering roar traveled through the town and another car was crushed. In fact, a line of cars were being crushed simultaneously and that line was heading towards Ichigo. To normal people, who were running for their lives might I add, it looked like the cars were being crushed by an invisible force. But to Ichigo, it was a completely different thing. He was staring right into the eyes of a frog like hollow. As the hollow got closer to him, a series of expressions appeared on his face.

 

It changed from despair...

 

To annoyance...

 

To anger...

 

And finally frustration.

 

“Aw man of all the times to show up, it had to be now!”

 

Still frozen in his stance, he looked between the hollow and the school.

 

“DAMN IT ALL!!!”

 

With his decision made, he ran towards the hollow. At the same time, he brought out his substitute shinigami badge and placed it on his chest. He popped out of his body and charged towards the hollow. He released his zanpaktou from his back and with a scream from frustration, he brought it down on the hollow's mask. Slowly the hollow disintegrated. He then landed on his feet and panted. Afterwards, he blinked.

 

“Well... That was easy.”

 

The warning bell rung and it was then he remembered what he was worried about.

 

“Aw man I'm late!”

 

After entering his body, he rushed into the school to avoid getting detention. Unknown to him, in the spot where the hollow once stood, a heaven butterfly flew up and followed him to the school.

Shinigami from different squads ran helter skelter following the orders of their superiors. Explosions and crashes could be heard and seen. People flying from one place to the other and the injured carried out to get medical attention. It was like an all out war! The rooms of the squad four headquarters were getting filled up with each passing minute. Some of the victims had burns and others had cuts, some severe and others not as serious. Hanataro Yamada, recently promoted to the fifth seat of squad four ran from one person to another giving instructions to his comrades. He ran to one of the patients with a severe burn and started healing him. As soon as he touched the injury, he drew his hand back like he was shocked.

 

'Amazing... I've never felt spiritual energy this powerful. Are these people THAT powerful?'

 

“Who are they?”

 

The person he was treating turned to look at him. He jumped and rubbed the back of his head.

 

“Sorry did I wake you up?”

 

The person shook his head.

 

“Oh ok.” He got out the equipment and started healing the burn. It was quiet for a while before he asked, “So what happened? Are they that powerful? How do they look?”

 

The shinigami sighed. “They really are. The spiritual pressure is so high you can hardly breathe.”

 

“How many are there?”

 

“Two.”

“Only two?”

 

He sighed. “Actually my group fought one of them.”

 

“What it a hollow? Or some kind of monster?”

 

“No. It was a shinigami.” He turned away from Hanataro. “It's a shame that we lost to this one in particular.”

 

“Why do you say that?”

 

He looked at him in surprise. “You don't know?”

 

Hanataro blinked. “Don't know what?”

 

“We're being attacked by kids! More like a year younger than the child prodigy.”

 

“You mean the captain of the tenth division?”

 

“Of course him! Who else would I be talking about you dumbass?!”

 

He shrunk back a bit. “My bad.” He frowned deep in thought. 'Twelve year olds huh?'

A shinigami adorned with blond hair and a pair of sunglasses(sorry, don't remember his name) walked down the corridors of the fourth division, worry and seriousness etched on his face.

 

'Twelve year olds huh? That is sort of embarrassing. If this got out to the whole of the soul society, the Seireitei would be considered an embarrassment.' He sighed.

 

“Sir!” He turned and saw a shinigami heading towards him.

 

“What is it?”

 

Once he reached him, he saluted and replied, “Your assistance is needed Sir. We keep getting more injured people and our staff is not enough at the moment. We're trying to recruit more people to help us.”

 

“I'll be there in a moment. Return to your post.”

 

“Yes Sir!” And with a final salute, he was gone.

 

'Better get going.' He followed the same direction his comrade went. As he turned a corner, he saw a shinigami staring out through the window. He eyed her in suspicion as he has never seen her before.

 

'Come to think of it, she does fit the description of one of the intruders.' He walked towards her. 'Orange hair with white streaks packed up in a pony tail with a purple scarf.' He frowned deeply. 'The only thing missing is the lieutenant uniform.' He stopped a few inches away from her, the shinigami appeared as if she didn't notice his presence.

 

“Hey you, what squad are you on?”

 

There was no reply.

 

“Are you new here?”

 

Still no reply. He was getting angry.

 

“I'm asking you a question here so speak up!”

 

She still didn't reply. Annoyed about her rude behavior, he closed the distance between them and forced her to look at him. Once she turned, he gasped and jumped back to draw his zanpaktou, but it was too late, as she had drawn hers first.

 

“Prank to kill...”

“So, how did the one your group fight look?”

 

The shinigami sighed. “Like I said before, she was a twelve year old. Orange hair with white streaks packed up in a ponytail with a purple scarf adorned in a lieutenant's uniform.”

 

Hanataro blinked. “That doesn't seem like much.”

 

“That's what we all thought, that is, until we saw her eyes.”

 

“Her eyes?”

 

“Yes. Beautiful amethyst but had the mischievous look of a killer.”

 

There was silence for a while until Hanataro spoke. “What was her name?”

 

The shinigami stared at him and replied, “Her name was...”

 

Before he could complete that sentence, there was yelling and screaming and the place was covered with silver embers of fire.

From a far distance away from the building that just exploded, Hikari stood on a structure and watched as parts of the structure scattered. She sighed as she watched the series of events take place.

 

'Well that's the last of the headquarters for the squads. It won't be long before they send the lieutenants.' She jumped from the place and ran towards her destination. 'But they are not who I'm after. Rika can handle them. I only want the captains. After all... it was a promise.' She smirked. She was brought out from her thoughts as she heard footsteps heading in her direction. Right in front of her were shinigami forming a road block with their zanpaktous drawn and ready to attack. Despite that, she kept running. 'I'm betting this is the last batch.' She got closer to them and they took that as a sign to attack. Before they could move a step forward, she disappeared and reappeared right behind them and kept going. Behind her, the shinigami fell, cuts splatting out blood all over their bodies, having no idea what had just happened.

The lieutenant of squad six, Renji Abarai, walked towards the location where all the lieutenants usually met. After all the years he had spent in the Seireitei, he had never experienced anything like this before, except for the break in of Ichigo and the others. But this time, it wasn't long before they called for the lieutenants. From what he heard, the intruders were a couple of kids, their purpose remains unknown. He sighed. This was embarrassing. For kids to do all this damage, there must be something about them that stood out. Either way, he had gotten stronger and he wasn't going to let any kid defeat him. He reached his destination and saw all his comrades waiting for him to appear.

 

Yachiru called his name with enthusiasm, “Weird eyebrow guy!” (Once again, I apologize. I don't remember what she calls him, so I came up with this!)

 

He glared at her. “Shut up.”

 

Izuru walked towards him. “Glad you could make it Renji.”

 

He looked at him. “Hey Izuru long time no see. So, I heard our butts are getting kicked by two kids. So what's the plan?”

 

“We were told that these two people can't be taken lightly, so we have to work together to defeat them.” The lieutenant of squad four replied.

 

Lieutenant of squad two spoke, “Bleh! I bet they're not that powerful. They're just brats trying to scare us. I'll just crush them with my zanpaktou and-”

 

“Haven't you been listening at all?!” Squad seven's lieutenant yelled. “One of them took six of the headquarters down the other took down seven and they're beating the shinigami like they're an army of ants.”

 

Squad eight's lieutenant spoke, “I heard that the intruders were related to two of the captains, Captain Komamura and Captain Yamamato.”

 

There was silence after he spoke as everyone took in what he had just said. Renji spoke, “Well that sort of explains why we're on the losing side. So what are we gonna do?”

 

The lieutenant of the first group replied, “We came up with the pan before you got here. So listen carefully.”

 

While they discussed the plan all over again, Momo Hinamori stared out through the window lost in her thoughts. 'Is it who I think it is? Is she back? It's been ten years since the day she disappeared.'

 

“Well some birthday celebration this is.”

 

Momo turned round and saw lieutenant of the tenth squad behind her.

 

“Rangiku.”

 

Rangiku sat down beside her. “Hey.”

 

“Happy birthday Rangiku. Sorry it turned out this way.”

 

Rangiku sighed. “Yeah well there's nothing we can do about it now is there... By the way, you look so serious. Is something wrong?”

 

Momo smiled. “No I'm ok. It's just...”

 

“Just what?”

 

She shook her head. “Never mind.”

 

Rangiku stared at her for a while before she spoke, “Well if there's anything you wanna talk about, I'm right here.”

 

She got up to go and started walking away but stopped as Momo said something to her.

 

“It's been a while since the last time I saw her. Ten years to be exact. And now she's finally back... She kept her promise after all...”

 

After that, Renji called them to join the rest of them. As she headed towards him, there was an expression of confusion on her face.

 

'Those are the exact same words my captain spoke... Did something happen between them? Who is this girl? And what relationship does she have with them?'

 

After that, the lieutenants disappeared, heading for their first target...

 

Well I'm gonna stop here! This is my longest chapter and I'll continue the rest in the next chapter! Once again, pls review!!! Arigatou!!!
