*~*~*~*
“Taicho, why are we doing this?” Rangiku huffed as she ran along side Hitsugaya, the both of them using the roofs and open patches of walls to get to the Central 46 entry way. After Hitsugaya had told her what he had been told by their story teller, they had set off to the Central 46 without much more explanation, Hitsugaya shaking his head.
“Because we need to make sure that there is no one in the Central 46, Matsamoto,” Hitsugaya said in reply as they landed before the long pathway that led to the large building that housed those who made up the Central 46. “I heard no lies in his tone but still, we need to make sure that all the facts are straight.”
“I see,” Rangiku breathed, feeling unsettled, upset, by everything that she had learned. She had always thought that the Seireitei worked well, but to know that there was an undercurrent of darkness that had been so well hidden had shaken her world up. Especially when she had heard that there was someone playing spy in an effort to stop the puppet master from doing whatever he was planning on doing. “And if it is empty, taicho?” she asked.
“We head to the Great Archive and follow the hints,” Hitsugaya stated before starting down the walkway, Rangiku following after him, eyes flicking about them. It was unnaturally silent around the building, seeming as if there was no one there to greet them. Usually, there was someone who would be meeting them halfway to find out why they were there before heading to tell the person that they were seeing that they were there. But so far, no one met them.
“Sir,” she said, voice nervous as she shifted more to the right, ready for any kind of attack that should come for them, body tensing.
“I know, Matsamoto, I know,” Hitsugaya said, teal eyes looking around them as he frowned heavily and rolled his shoulders. “This is not good and I have a feeling that we’re not quite as alone as we may think,” he stated under his breath, Rangiku nodding her head as she placed one hand on the hilt of her zanpactou. “Stay sharp.”
“Yes, taicho,” was the reply, her voice cool and calm, steely. The two words told him that she was as ready as one could be when a person felt as if they were about to be ambushed.
Arriving at the doors, Hitsugaya reached out and swung a long rope that sat to the side of the double doors, ringing a bell that sounded out loud and clear. They shared a look when nobody came to the door to allow them entrance, something that wasn’t correct. “This is not good,” he mused, Rangiku nodding her head. Turning back to the doors, he knocked once, the door opening under the pressure of his fist. “Really not good.”
“Nope,” Rangiku sighed, swallowing heavily as they stepped into the hallway and headed down it to where they knew the homes were for the members of the 46. Stepping into a large dome like area where several homes stood, they stared at just how empty everything was. Every door to the homes were open instead of closed and there seemed to be a death like quiet over the area, a particular scent tickling their noses. “Taicho…”
“I know. Come on, let’s go,” Hitsugaya breathed out, stepping away from the homes and towards the hallways. “We can do nothing here except go to the sou-taicho and tell him what we found.”
“Yes, sir,” Matsumoto said, nodding her head as she gave her taicho a sharp look, following him quickly out of the Central 46. They ran down the hallways, past the doors and over the walkway, Hitsugaya scowling heavily the entire way. “Taicho, was I smelling what I think I was?” she asked as they took to the roofs and walls once more.
“Yes, you were,” Hitsugaya stated. “Stale blood. I think we don’t have a Central 46 and haven’t for a while now, so all of the orders that had come down from them weren’t from them, but someone else.”
“Could it be that puppet master?” she asked quietly, running beside him and unsurprised by the fact that she got a nod as they turned towards the direction of the Great Archive. “So we go to the Archive, find what we need to find and then what?”
“Go and see if the sou-taicho knows anything. And if he does, why he’s allowing everything to happen as it is,” Hitsugaya stated as they landed before the building that they were after. Entering, they sighed at finding no one there to greet them, much less ask why they were there before heading deeper into the shelves, looking for one particular section. Hitsugaya figured that they should look into files from around three years prior and work their way from their.
As they came to a stop before the right shelf that lead to the information from that year, Rangiku went stiff as she whipped around, a lock of red hair slinking around the shelf. “Sir,” she said, reaching out and tugging on Hitsugaya’s hakama, “there’s someone here.”
“Follow them. I have a feeling that they’ll lead us to where we need to go,” Hitsugaya stated, heading to where Rangiku had pointed. Running down the line of shelves, he rounded the corner, spotting blood red hair flying around another corner several aisles ahead of them. The two Shinigami followed after the flashes of red, sometimes catching sight of a booted foot along with the hair.
They found themselves in a normally locked up section of the Great Archive, panting and standing before a table with three different scrolls sitting before them as soft laughter filled the air. “Good luck with your hunt,” came the purred words from the shadows, making them go stiff as their eyes darted around in worry.
“Looks like we found our start,” Hitsugaya breathed out after a few moments of silence. Walking over to the scrolls, he picked up the thinnest one and found it to be an investigation scroll into the disappearance of one Isshin Shiba, head of the now fallen Shiba clan who was now run by his older sister. “I think I know where this is going,” he said quietly, reading over the file and remembering the pain of his taicho just one day disappearing from the world around them.
“Taicho...is that…?” Rangiku breathed, her eyes wide as she stared at the file in Hitsugaya’s hands.
“Yeah, it is,” Hitsugaya sighed, shaking his head with a heavy frown on his lips. “It’s Shiba-taicho’s investigation file and it looks like they didn’t try very hard to find out where he disappeared off to,” he said, coming to the end of the scroll.
“It looks as if it was called off by the sou-taicho for some odd reason,” Rangiku said, reading over her shorter taicho’s shoulder, also frowning with him. “But...what does this have to do with the ryoka?” she asked.
“Apparently everything,” Hitsugaya said, shaking his head. “It’s also the start to where we need to go for what’s happening now. I have a feeling that this is the first piece of the puzzle but it’s tied into the story,” he continued.
“The story that the person told you right?” was the question. “But I thought that they had found him dead. At least that’s what they told us when we asked.”
“Apparently they lied to us and for a good reason if it was halted by the sou-taicho,” Hitsugaya stated as he picked up another scroll. This one had been written and sealed by the sou-taicho and was a full report of where Isshin Shiba had been when they had found him. It had been decided that due to the loss of his powers, he would live out the years as a human until his gigai gave out much like a human body did. Or until his powers were fully regained.
Whatever came first.
“We need to speak with Yamamoto-sou-taicho,” Hitsugaya stated as he rolled up the second scroll, picking up the third and seeing that it was a full report from Urahara and Yoruichi on what had happened to Isshin. They had only read the first line, garnering that much information from the report, before a butterfly flitted into the room.
Holding out her hand, Rangiku frowned as she listened to the message before looking to Hitsugaya. “We’ve been called to a meeting, taicho’s and fukutaicho’s,” she said, shaking her head. “There’s been a decision made about the leader of the ryoka that they just caught a few hours ago. We’re to hear it at the meeting.”
“This can’t be good,” Hitsugaya grunted before he shoved two of the scrolls into a hidden pocket. “Grab that scroll and hide it. We’ll drop them off in the Tenth and hide them until after the meeting,” he commanded, Rangiku quick to do so as they left the Great Archives.
