Chapter 8- Trials and Tribulations
Saya’s POV:
I arrived back at the 13th division barracks to find Ukitake still on the bench where I left him feeding the koi. As I drew closer he took notice of the pain in my eyes and anguish in my face.
"What happened now?” He asked as he stood up and arms reaching to hug me.
I sunk into his comforting embrace, "Nothing to bother you with Tiacho!”
He pulled me back to get a good look at me once more. "I can't help but feel that I'm somewhat responsible for your situation." Looking out over my shoulder his expression changed as if he had an epiphany, "Come with me!”
He placed his hands behind his back and began to walk across the bridge continuing on past my living quarters and into the wooded area where many of the 13th division members trained in private. Following close behind I waited for him to speak but no words passed his lips as we came to the top of a small hill with a narrow path of stone steps that led to a small opening in a stone wall.
"How have I never seen this before?" I asked with eyes wide and entertained by the thought that my captain was letting me into a private part of his world.
Ukitake chuckled as he explained, "This is the place I set aside to be alone. I have placed a barrier around this area so that you can only see it once you have been shown its location."
He began to make his way down the stairs as he jokingly added, “This old man still has a few tricks up his sleeve!”
I laughed, tickled by the entire sentiment. “I’m sure that you do!” staying right at the tip of his captains robes.
As we went through the small entrance it opened to a peaceful grassy area with a dock that overlooked the koi pond. I took a deep breath of the sweet air that seemed to radiate through the area then went on to explore the dock as my captain moved over to sit on wooden bench under a single cherry blossom tree adorned with colorful paper lanterns.
“This is beautiful” I said as I made my way over to the bench with a childlike curiosity sitting next to him.
“You love him don’t you?!” he blatantly asked me as if it were a common discussion.
Feeling tricked I looked back at him with disgust, “It’s a little more complicated than just that” I smirked as if to say well done.
“He loves you, I can see it when he looks at you.” He added as glanced down at the bench; fingers tapping on the wood in a nervous manor.
My posture turned to a slouch as I sighed, knowing that there was no getting out of this conversation, and I slid to off of the bench to the ground. “We just can’t get it right! He doesn’t know what he wants…I don’t even think that I know what I want anymore. I just know that I’m tired of hurting each other. I think that some time away will be good for us”
He took in a deep breath, “Sometimes we hurt the ones that we love more than we would our enemies”
I looked up at him as he continued on with his story. “I was in love with woman much like yourself; strong willed, smart, fiery." We both erupted in laughter as he slid toward the end of the bench, revealing a carving, Joshiro Loves Retsu.
I gasped “You and Captain Onohana? I would have never known!”
He blushed as a bead of sweat fell form his normally calm brow. “And we would like to keep it that way!” he ordered back softly.
I nodded allowing him to go on with the story, “We have loved each other for many years and we have had our trials and tribulations but somehow always found each other” my heart sank thinking of how much they were like us, “Maybe it’s not the right time now but believe this old man... a love like this is worth fighting for! You will find your way back to each other… one day!”
His words brought hope to my heart again, “Thank you Tiacho!” I whispered as I climbed back onto the bench. Both of us staring out to the forest enjoying the comfort of the quiet and me coming to terms with a slight clarity that I began to put together; like a puzzle in my mind.
After a few minutes had passed I broke the silence “So, how did you two make it right?”
He smiled, “Ah, now that is the secret isn’t it!?” looking at me out of the corner of his eye, “I’m sorry to say that there is no clear answer, everyone is different. I just never gave up; I waited for her until she was ready to make that leap of faith with me!”
Wanting the fatherly advice that I missed, “What should I do Tiacho?” I begged him for an answer.
He smiled with a gentle kindness in his eyes, “I can’t answer that for you! You need to take some time and figure that out on your own!”
A low chuckle bounced from my gut, “How did I know that you would say something like that?” I said back then again sitting in silence.
Our peaceful state was destroyed by the sound of shinigami yelling “Hollow” Ukitake looked at me as if to question what we heard. Again the announcement was yelled out into the humid night air, this time accompanied by the sound of the emergency signal.
Now no doubt of what we had heard my captain stood up “Let’s go!”
I nodded as he rapidly moved toward the 1st Division barracks me following close behind. Most of the Captains gathered outside, going over the details and attack plan. Shushui and Ukitake quickly volunteered their divisions to go ahead while the rest of the divisions assembled.
Quickly taking charge Captain Ukitake directed the gathered squad members. “We will move in now to assess the size and scope of the attack and hold them off until everyone else can join!”
I looked over just in time to see Kisuke arrive as I drew Zen and followed my captain into battle. The Captains seemed to dance through the trees with such grace as I pushed myself to keep up and keep focused. My legs became weak as the image of Menos Grande grew larger with each fast step. Closer and closer we came to the beast, now surrounded by multiple smaller hollows that we easily struck down. Although I had been in many battles with hollows over the years, I had never actually seen the true barbaric power of such a gigantic monster that radiated a spiritual pressure that could be felt through my entire body. My hands trembled as I held my zanpakuto and listened for orders from my captain.
Why are you scared, call me out! Zen demanded within my mind as I watched events play out in slow motion.
Ukitake continued with orders. “I will take the left, Shunshi take the middle, Lisa, Saya, Kaien take the right. Hold tight until the rest get here”
“Yes, Tiacho” we yelled out as everyone took their place.
I called Zen out as Lisa and Kaien moved toward the closest group of Hallows. From the darkest depths of Hell, Fly Zen!
I felt his destructive power course through my being, calming the fear that recently controlled me and allowing the black flames to wrap around my body like welcoming wind on a scolding day. I followed my superiors into the fight as I struck down one hallow after another. My chaotic environment quickly turned quite as I looked up to see the tall black structure of the Menos Grade hovering over me and his mouth open to expose a brilliant red cerro. I froze for a moment as Zen screamed Run... Now!
I began to move through the forest side utilizing my flash step abilities to their fullest. No matter how I maneuvered, I could feel the heat from the energy close behind me.
Let us protect you! Haku begged in an authoritive manner.
Finally convincing myself that I couldn’t outrun it, I grabbed Haku, releasing him then turning to block the attack only to hear Kisukes voice ring out Benihime… Blood Shield! Releasing a glowing red energy barrier that he blocked with ease.
My eyes watched in amazement as he stood in front of me taking the brunt of the attack; shielding me from the danger that was before me. I couldn’t say a word as he quickly turned to grab my body like a rag doll and moved me to a safe location.
He gently placed his hands on either sides of my face “Are you alright?” he asked intensely out of pure love and concern.
I shook my head yes as he instinctively kissed my lips with a passion that shook my soul. “Stay here, I want you safe” he ordered then disappeared back into fight.
Wait, I thought, I can defend myself! I was just as strong if not stronger than him, damn it! Refusing to listen to him I moved back into battle taking out more of the smaller hallows as if to prove my strength.
The skies opened and rain began to fall as I glanced around to see the brilliant spectacle of multiple captains in alliance, attacking the dark monster that almost took my life. Not wanting to show my weakness I slashing down the last hallows as we were called to help gather any wounded and regroup back at our divisions. The movements of my fellow shinigami became almost euphoric as I stood in the rain watching them rush by to make sure that the area was clear and the 4th division attended to the wounded. Upon my return I began to question my abilities. What would have happened if Kisuke didn't fend off that attack? Would I have been able to do it on my own? Was I that weak? The questions continued to flood my mind and shrink my confidence even after we arrived back at Rain Dried Hall. My attention became distant as I became upset with Kisuke for taking that away from me. Seeing the distress in my eyes, Ukitake ordered me to seek refuge in his office while he gave the division debrief. Numb from the close call with my mortally and angry with myself for not being as strong as I thought I was, I wandered into the Captains office finally falling to my knees and weeping. I had let my captain down... my division and myself, I thought to myself. Time stood still as I sat on the cold floor, trembling not from cold but from shame that I brought. I felt something wrap around me as I was lifted off of the floor. It was Captain Ukitake as he draped his captains robe over me and picked me up placing me on his chair. He crouched in front of me with a look of worry.
"I'm so sorry captain! I have failed you!" I said to him coldly as I attempted to shake off the shock that ravaged my body and my mind. "I should have been stronger... but I just ran!"
He hugged me tightly, "Sometimes you have to run!" He sternly said,"A good captain knows when to run and when to stay and fight! And you were right to run!" Looking back at me he continued, "The Cerro could have destroyed you at that close of a range!"
I felt my breathing calm as I took in his words. "I have to get stronger... can you teach me?" I begged.
Surprised with my question he answered back wanting to keep me calm, "I think that it would be good for us to work on some combat exercises but as for strength, I will set up some more time with Captain Hikifune for a more brute approach if that will make you happy."
I nodded my head yes as a knock came to the door. "Yes" Ukataki said as he stood up.
Koga entered the room and made his way over to me. "Thank goodness you are ok! I heard what happened!" He crouched down next to the chair gabbing my hands,"How about I take you away for a little bit to relax and clear your head."
"That wouldn't be a bad idea." Ukitake hestiantly agreed.
My head turned toward him in amazement with his suggestion. "But captain…" I began to debate.
Before I could start he cut me off, "Take some time to get your mind clear then you can come back and start the training that we discussed." looking at me as if he felt that he was doing the right thing.
Knowing that I would not win this argument I gave in, "Yes Tiacho!"
Koga stood back up and nodded, "Then it's set I will let my parents know that we will be visiting."
I looked at Ukitake for reassurance as Koga helped me up; handing Ukitake his robe back as Koga began to guide me toward the door.
With warmth in his eyes he tried to reassure me once more "Don't worry, I will take care of everything for when you come back"
Placing his hand on the small of my back Koga led me out of the office and into the cold dark of the hall.
As soon as we got back to my living quarters Koga immediately began to pack for me. "It will be good for you to get away... it will be good for both of us!"
I looked at a small bag that he had set aside for me filled only with my makeup, underwear and sleeping attire. "Is that all you are going to pack?" I asked blankly.
He smiled gingerly at me, "Yeah, we will get you suitable clothes once we get there. I will have someone pick up some things in your size so that you have it by morning." stating this as if he was doing me a favor.
"What about you?" I asked.
He looked at me and laughed at my naive comment. "I always have a good set just in case I decide to grace my family with my presence."
Feeling a little uncomfortable with that statement my hairs on my arm set on end. Koga didn't speak about his family very often but I knew that they were of noble blood, but I began to realize that they might be a little higher than originally thought. He grabbed my bag escorted me to a carriage that was waiting for us just outside of the division doors. Hesitantly, I got in and watched the seiretite pass us by as we made our way into the hills and onto the his families estate. The rain had stopped, as I listened to the chirping crickets in the clam of a night, singing a symphony like nothing even happened.
Kisukes POV:
The emergency signals rang through the seiretite as my unit trained on the fields "Hollows!" I yelled as I gathered my troops and ordered them to assemble outside the 1st Division barracks. We arrived only to briefly see Saya, Kaien, Lisa, Captain Ukataki and Captain Shunshui ordering their subordinates into battle. My heart screamed out as I saw her draw her zanpackuto and follow her captain into battle, only to have to stay behind awaiting the arrival and plan from my own captain. I watched them disappear into the trees as the dark clouds rolled over us all; sending an uneasy sensation screaming through me. Yourichi quickly showed up and ordered us to join in on the fight. Not sticking around to listen to the details I quickly followed the same path that Saya had set out on searching for her spiritual pressure within the chaos. I instinctively wanted to protect the woman that I loved and made peace with the fact that I would give my life to do so. A bright red light flashed in a distance as I identified Sayas pressure as the target of the Menos Grande’s blood lust. Even though I knew that she was strong and could handle herself, I lost all ability to think logically at the terrifying sight that played before me. The thought that I could lose her screamed through my head as I drew Benihime from her sheath only to reveal a power that coursed through my veins that I had never felt before. The power only continued to increase as I raced to Sayas aide, almost as if Behihime became stronger as she sensed that I was willing to protect Saya with my life. Any sense of reason left my mind as the cerro continued to close in on her. Finally taking the small window of opportunity to place myself between her and the gigantic monster. Digging my feet in I called out Benihimes Blood Shield, knowing that it was one technique that I had full control over at a captain’s level. The cerro dispersed quickly as I spent no time to grab my love and retreated to the cover of the trees. In a panic, I placed my hands to her face and searched her body with my eyes to make sure that she was not hurt. The relief of her safety brought on a flood of happiness that I could never turn into words. All of the terrible things that were once said were now erased as I kissed her lips as if it was the first time. All I wanted to do was hold her to make sure that she stayed safe, now understanding why strict rules were in place for lovers not to go into battle together. I now realized that I had become reckless as I was blinded by my need to rescue her and forgo my own safety, much less the safety of others. I hesitated leaving her as I knew that she would never heed my request. I continued into battle, only to look back at the stubborn woman jumping back into the danger of the night, set on finishing what she had started and I loved her dearly for it!
The rain poured down as if the skies where attempting to wash away the destruction that had just occurred. I found it hard to control my level of anxiety as I searched for her while ordering my unit back to the 2nd Division hall to debrief and help any wounded in battle. I knew that she was ok, I just had to see it for myself. I felt like I could breathe again once I heard her voice ringing out over the clearing; ordering her unit back to their barracks as I had just done for mine. There was a sadness that engulfed her eyes as she followed her captain again disappearing into the night. This time I knew that she would be alright and that would enough to keep me content for now.
Upon returning to my office, I sat in my chair as Sadi placed a blanket around me then retreated to make some tea. Something that she had done every time I came back from a fight. There was something soothing in that routine that always helped to set my mind straight. Brushing my wet hair from my face I looked down to see the acceptance letter that Saya had ordered me to sign. I wanted her to be happy and at least this way she would be safe. Besides, this would give us the time that we needed to makes sense of what little remained after the breakdown that had occurred. I opened the top drawer to my desk to find a pen as my hand got stuck on a small blue box that I hand long forgotten about. Remembering what it was, I pulled it out and sat it in front of me slowly opening it to reveal a beautiful blue satin sash that was embroidered with a branch of pink cherry blossom flowers and one dragonfly that graced the end. A present that I had picked up for Saya so many years back but never gave her. I smiled as I thought how fitting it would be to finally give it to her along with her letter. I reach back into my draw this time taking the pen that I had originally reached for and signed the letter; then added a note to the top of the box…
I hope you find your way back to me -Love Kisuke.
Not wanting to waste any time I grabbed the items and left for the 13th Division.
Captain Ukitake greeted me as I walked up the path that led to Sayas living quarters, “If you are looking for Saya, I sent her away so that she could get some clarity. She was pretty shaken over the events of the day.”
My posture turned lax with a sigh that came that released from my throat; upset that I had missed her. I wanted to see her reaction.. I wanted to see her smile that always lit up my world.
“Where is she, when will she be back?” I asked.
“Koga took her to his family’s estate to get away from everything for a week or two. I told her to take some time to get her head straight. She has been wrestling with some pretty significant issues recently you know”
I inquisitively looked at him, had she told him about us? About our sorted past?
His grin increased as he added “I’m sure that she will be very happy that you stopped by to check on her. Is that for her?” he pointed to the items in my hand.
I glanced down, “Oh… Yes. I guess that I will just leave them in her room” I said sadly wishing that I hadn’t just heard that she went with Koga.
I walked in and placed the letter on top of the box then walked back outside only to find Ukitake on the bridge “I know some days seem hopeless, but give her time. She is worth fighting for!”
I glanced back at him “I know” I said nodding my head and turning to make my way back to my division.
