Hello All... I'm hoping to get a few more chapters to you soon. Please let me know how you like the story so far. Its been a long process and there is still much more to come. I think of this as amore like a Shinigami Soap Opera :-P I promise that good times are a comin!
Sayas POV:
My entrance back into Squad Zero was somewhat uneventful, receiving a verbal accommodation from Captain Hikifune and the occasional bow of respect from fellow shinigami that fought just as bravely in the battle that awoke me from my selfish existence. Training came and went as it had always had, but now I was surrounded by looks and uncomfortable confrontations as people now feared to train against me. Afraid that I would again release the power that I had in battle, a power that was seen to be at the level of a captain and still suspect if I could control it. All that I had wanted and all that I had done now rendered me an outcast within the shadow of a hero. I don't know what I had expected, I too would have been surprised by a mere lieutenants ability to utilize a Bankai like mine. I had deceived them even, not letting them know that I had even come close to such a level.
Looking around I found myself the odd man out as the others paired up immediately. Trying to hold back my anger, I stood tall next to my captain as she looked on and began to review the techniques of those before us. My anger quickly turned to self-doubt as I tried to reassure myself that I was not a to be feared, that I did have control and that I could easily do it again given the opportunity.
She laughed looking over at my distress, "Some may fear you and some may feel inferior to you… either way, they respect you. Your sacrifice made you no longer their equal, it made you their superior" she paused as I looked up at her, "Welcome to the pedestal my dear , it’s a long fall from here!" here eyes gazed back to the field as her tone turned parental, " I hope that is what you really wanted and that you are prepared for all of the responsibility that comes with it!" it felt as though she walked through me as her shoulder brushed mine, leaving me to think about the reality in her words.
My eyes glanced back in the direction of a familiar voice, "Well are you just going to stand there and watch or are you going to learn how to control that half-ass technique that you call Bankai?"
I turned to see Isao walking up with a confident swagger and a mischievous smile. A brightness came to my face and the invisible weights fell from my shoulders as I realized that this was the first real interaction that I had had with him since my return. His presence was a comfort to me in a way that I hadn't felt before. It was as if he and I were attached, like there was a future partnership that had been but in place as we both sought to fight for alpha.
"Well, well and here I was thinking that you were hiding from me as well." I said back tossing my hair playfully.
"Nah, just giving you your space" he said walking past me toward the outermost point of the training fields.
His zanpakuto dragged the ground beside him as if a he was leaving a trail for me to follow to his challenge. A smile returned to my face as I took the bait that he had laid out for me and met my match away from the rest. His dragon green eyes seemed to shine under the light of the sun that greeted us in a friendly respect. As I drew my swords, they awoke from their slumber with as much childlike excitement as I had, both clawing at the chance to soar through the wind with their newfound strength once more.
"Don't tell me that you missed me!" I yelled out to him with a playful pout.
His head tilted down and his smile widened, "Maybe just a little" he said grabbing his wrist and calling forth his Bankai releasing it in a blaze of orange aura, "Who else was I going to play with?" his head tilted back up to wink at me.
I laughed heartily eyebrows raised in slight surprise , "Huh" I said with ah huff, "We are full of surprises today!"
He lunged at me crashing his blade, that now took on the shape of a scythe, into my zanpakutos. There was a wildness behind his eyes that begged for me to strike back as hard as I could. Quickly I utilized my flash step to created enough distance between the two of us as I combined my two swords to call forth my Bankai. In an electrifying explosion of energy I had all others looking onward to a meeting of the two that would now stand tall as leaders of the unit. The two that would fight for supremacy under a proud captain that looked on, knowing that she had created the next generation of captains without any knowledge to us. Our blades raptured the air and the land around us with each release of energy that coursed through the foundation that was our partnership with our spiritual pressure and our zanpakutos. Each of us walking a fine line of control and chaos that we finely balanced in the palm of our hands as we combined kido into an elegant symphony of destruction. Again and again we drove toward each other so harsh yet so playful until our fun was brought to a holt with one last blow that shook the ground beneath our feet in a glorious last release that sucked what energy we had left; leaving us but mere shinigami holding onto the thin blades that we claimed in our youth. No words were said as we both took in each breath in exhaustion only to bow in respect of the other efforts. All seriousness was lost in those moments as a lighthearted laughed came spilling from my gut followed by the reciprocation that came from Isao. Every line of worry, anger, frustration and sadness was now released into the light that began to fade as the once bright sky had turned to shades of orange and lavender that traced filled in the spaces between the white fluffy clouds. That day we came to the understanding that we were equals both in life and in battle. We had proven to not only or captain, mentor and fellow soldiers that we were worthy of their respect, but demanded it. In some odd way we realized through the laughter as we walked back to the barracks that day, that we now had created a partnership that would last tied to an invisible line of fate that we shared. A fate that was already playing out yet I carefully controlled with every small decision that I made as I attempted to manipulate the marionette that was my life.
The days seemed to rush by like a kaleidoscope, days became weeks combining into one long collage of color that settled back on one point in time that held my mind strong. The day I followed Kisukes voice through the dark and back into a moment that defined our bond to each other that was like nothing I could ever imagine. Many evenings I leaned onto the railing that peeked off of the balcony of my room, looking out onto the horizon at dusk to find myself daydreaming of our history, his undying love for me and how I continually found ways to sabotage that love that I didn't feel I deserved. I found myself sheltered by the epiphany that I had the absolute affection of a man that never contemplated that he would so willingly be bound by the chains of such an emotion to one woman. So much so that he would be willing to give anything to protect the one that he held so dearly. What had I done to deserve this I had questioned in my mind in an endless cycle time and again until the day he opened my eyes to the life that he saw down the path that was our life. A man such as him found something in me that I couldn’t see in myself, something that was as valuable to him as the air that he breathed. I was the lucky one that won his heart from a partnership that developed into a love that would define who we were and who we would become. With me he held back nothing, showing me every dark thought, every tender emotion and every silly reaction that made the Kisuke Urahara that I knew. With just a gaze of his grey eyes he opened his world to me like a portal to his soul; inviting me to share in the enigma that was him. Each day that passed, I discovered yet another reason to get back to him, to show him the same love and affection that he had so willingly gave me over the years. I had come to realize that I was ready to share in the life that he wanted for us, the life that he so selflessly fought to hold tight to his heart even as I had pushed away with my own selfish reasons.
We flew like ghosts through the outer worlds, now proactive in our approach to put down any threat to the Soul Kings protected lands. Combing the areas for weeks, Isao and I lead our teams to take down any monster that seemed even relatively close to the terrible anomaly that called itself Arrancars possessing such obscure powers that had us struggling to keep up. Though we often came in contact with many hollow-like creatures even "lesser Arrancars" , none had compared to those that we had fought on that day in power or in appearance. Some of the teams started to believe that it was not such a random event as we continued to come up empty on our quest to find more of these beasts that had threatened our world. This shake in confidence brought forth rumors and elaborate stories that they were special creations of a mad man sent with the specific task to take down the Soul King for the ultimate power that could crush the existence of everything that we knew. Many claimed that upon coming into contact with these lesser Arrancar creatures, they were willingly gave information that alluded to the presence of the one with the power , the one that would change them all. Although I did my best to stop these tales that seemed to strike fear into even the bravest soul in the cold of the night, I documented each story with a curiosity that came and an unsettled feeling that I too felt as we pushed through the barren wastelands that we called Hueco Mundo. An unchanging night sky covered a seemingly unending white dessert adorned by a multitude of dunes and tree-like structures that seemed to be made out of quartz, a silent world of death for hollows to retreat to. I hated every second that I spent there, with each passing day I felt frozen grip of death race through the winds that came and went with no rhyme or reason. Deep in my soul I felt a tie to this decollate land and its place in my demise.
As before, we returned with little to report other than the stories that fed its way into the imagination of our teams and minor victories over hollows that could have been easily defeated by any shinigami from the Soul Society. My mind tired yet ready to engage with Hikifune on the continual development of stories I was not prepared for the sight upon our return. We were greeted by all the five captains of squad zero. Each standing before us side by side in one line, something that we had never seen before. Not even myself on my earlier trips with Captain Hikifune. Standing silently at attention before the five great Captains we knew that this was something of importance in the works and awaited instruction that was to come.
Always a curios man Captain Nimaiya, better known as the lord of the zanpakuto, addressed us as his soldiers, "Now look here, you will each return to your rooms and begin to pack." he paced back and forth with a swagger making sure to make eye contact with everyone as we all stood still in amazement to see all five in one place at one time, "Once you are done, you will await instruction from one of us" he stopped with his back to us, finally turning his head he yelled out, "You are dismissed!"
For a split second we stood, our feet frozen to the ground, wondering what to do. Each of us looking at one another for guidance.
Captain Hikifune stood somberly watching everyone scramble for the barracks, doing as they were told; myself following suit. In one way a joy came over me as I raced around my room, grabbing my things and attempting to shove them into the small bags that I had brought with me on this trip. I thought about Kisuke and how we could start our life together, how I wanted to be at his side and what his reaction would be to my homecoming. But there was an eeriness that came with the increasing silence that fell on the halls as my fellow selected soldiers were each addressed by a captains and sent off through the Senkaimon for the Soul Society. I watched them walk by one by one as I waited sitting on my knees, with my eye on my open door. For a brief minute my eyes gazed at the floor while I thought about all of the memories that I had made here in my second home, all that I had learned and how I had grown.
"Saya" I jumped startled by Captain Hikifunes voice, "You really need to stop that daydreaming!" she rattled off as she walked into my room, stopping before me.
I stood to my feet looking at both her and Isao before me with a look of goodbye in their eyes. Nodding my head, I let them know that I understood what this meant. Soft on my feet I walked over and hugged Isao first.
"Thank you… for everything!" I somberly whispered to him. His arms squeezed me tightly and I felt a soft kiss of his lips on my head.
His grip now released to reveal a smile, "Your not leaving us you know" his eyes glanced up at the ceiling as his head nervously bobbed, "Not completely at least."
I looked at Hikifune for reassurance, "Then what is going on?" I curiously questioned her.
"The Captains feel that with the recent attack on the Soul Kings realm, that we have no choice but to completely seal off the entrance and return the shinigami back to their respective divisions for a higher level of protection there. While you were out on your rounds, we five have put together an unbreakable barrier that would allow no one but us in." she handed me round wooden disk with the carving of the Soul Kings seal burned into the center, "That is with the exception of you." she smiled softly as I took the wooden pass from her hands, "You will take my place as the liaison between Squad Zero and the Soul Society. This will allow you to move between our worlds as we look to relay information back and forth. You will be summoned by a Hells Butterfly and you only need to one to me if you need entrance."
I panted, looking down at the wooden seal, attempting to take in the sheer weight of the moment. Unable to control my emotion, I threw my arms around her as if I was hugging my own mother. Without a care I held her tight to me rocking her back and forth.
"Thank you so much!" I whispered to her holding back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes.
She too hugged me then pulled back to look down on me, "I wish that I could take full credit ," she tucked the rouge hairs that framed my face behind my ear, "Your strength and your courage to gave you this opportunity, not me" she smiled once again, "Its time to go!" she said as she let me go and began to straighten out her clothes. A tactic that she often used to mask her emotions.
I sighed with a combination of excitement and hesitation, tucking the wooden seal into my shirt. As I grabbed hold of my bags, now firmly strewn over my shoulder, I looked back a the two of them standing in front of me. A mother figure and a friend that was held tight by a new bond that fate had welcomed; a path that Kirio had referenced so long ago now unfolded before me as I looked back once more then walked through the Senkaimon for the last time between worlds.
