Chereads / Bleach : Human Immortal / Chapter 43 - 3 Rukia's Capture

Chapter 43 - 3 Rukia's Capture

 

Tokisawa 'Kurosaki' Yon

Age: 15

Cultivation Level: Peak of 2nd stage Saint Realm 

Position: Vice Kido Chief of Kido Corps

Status: Mad at Aizen.

 

Why?

 

It was probably Aizen's doing why he's currently with Renji and Byakuya. 

 

"So, you're the new vice kido chief? You look really young." Renji asked upon their first meeting. They are currently at the place where a senkaimon was normally opened by the Kido corps. 

 

But for this event, Yon will be the one responsible for opening the senkaimon which is why the only role of the current Kido corps personnel present is to guard them and make sure nothing wrong happens.

 

"Then you must be the lieutenant based on how weak you are." Yon replied to Renji's taunt.

 

"Just because you're the new Vice Kido Chief does not mean you're stronger than me. Afterall, you focus on Kido spells while I focus on battle." Renji smirked.

 

Yon just looked at him then at Byakuya who was looking at another direction like he doesn't even care what his lieutenant does.

 

"that so?" Yon replied unaffected which somehow ticked Renji. But that was about it. No matter what, this person was still the Vice Kido Chief.

 

A few moments later, one of the personnel reported to Yon.

 

"Vice-Chief, everything is ready. Here's the key." Yon was given a blade that is normally used to open the gateway or Senkaimon to the Human world, but he didn't accept it. Normally, it would be placed on the Zanpakuto of the lieutenant or captain but since Yon is with them, it was not the case. 

 

"yeah, don't need it." Yon said and simply used his index finger to open the Senkaimon.

 

This act of his surprised the Kido personnels and the duo captain and lieutenant. 

 

"How did you do it?" Asked Byakuya this time which Yon answered.

 

"By understanding the intricate design on the blade used for opening the Senkaimon, comprehending each and every line and applying the same process using my own reiryoku. I was able to replicate the use of the 'said' blade by simply applying the same patterns on my own fingertips." Yon explained.

 

Renji tried to listen but halfway through his head somehow made an explosion sound meanwhile Byakuya holding his chin trying to understand each and every word coming out of Yon's mouth.

 

"How were you able to apply it to your fingertips when originally, the blade is an inanimate object? Did you feel any pain at all?"

 

"Oh, that's easy. Although the blade is an inanimate object, it has the same properties as we do. We are all basically made up of spirit energy, so it was not that hard to replace the blade with my fingertip. Also there was no pain, as you can see I have made it so the 'inscriptions' normally found in the blade is miniaturized when applied to my fingertip."

 

"Inscription?"

 

"Oh, that's the term I use to identify the pattern of the spirit energy makes when it performs a certain process. For example, the Bakudo spells." Byakuya's attention was fully captured by Yon, even Renji who was unable to follow had his ears perked up upon hearing the Bakudo spells.

 

"Normally we would need to recite the incantations and chant the name of the spell and its corresponding numbers, right?" Both the Captain and Lieutenant nodded, even the Kido personnels were listening closely to him.

 

"But if you can recognize the 'inscription' formed to perform the spell." Yon pointed his index finger at Renji.

 

As soon as he did so, Renji stopped moving as six thin, but wide, beams of light that slammed into his midsection, holding him in place.

 

'T- this is.' Renji thought while struggling.

 

'Bakudo # 61: Rikujokoro. He casually performed a high level Bakudo without any incantation and in a single instant. This boy, no, this man is not an ordinary Kido practitioner. He truly deserves the title of being the youngest Vice Kido Chief.' Thought Byakuya.

 

"Impressive, No wonder the Captain Commander recommended you for the position of Grand Kido Chief." Byakuya praised.

 

"As much as I want to hear more of your praise, we are currently under orders." Yon said and cancelled the Bakudo restraining Renji.

 

"Shall we?" Yon gestured to enter the gate.

 

Byakuya nodded and started passing through followed by Renji who was acting normally after what just happened. But was thinking differently inside his head.

 

'Okay, I am never going to get under his skin again! Nope! Not again!'

 

Yon heard murmurs from the Kido personnels who were observing them from start to finish.

 

"We'll be going now. Continue guarding the place and take turns when you rest. We will probably not return for a while." Yon commanded.

 

"Yes sir!" Yon received their reply and put on the standard white clothing mask that almost all Kido practitioner wears.

 

"Sir, you are the vice kido chief and you are not really required to wear this." Informed one of the personnels before he can pass through the gate.

 

"Don't worry. I know exactly what I'm doing." Yon answered and immediately entered. Of course he is going to hide himself. There's no way he's going to let Ichigo see him so soon. 

 

He even tempered with the seal normally applied to soul reapers especially lieutenant and captain level. This way, even Yoruichi and Uruhara Kisuke won't be able to tell it was him.

Human World

Kurosaki Residence

 

It has been 3 years since the young Yon went out from this household. But none of the family members forgot about him. 

 

Well, two new members of the family probably don't recognize him. One was a mascot stuff toy named Kon who was currently sleeping beside an orange haired teen. The original protagonist of this world, Kurosaki Ichigo.

 

The other is a short haired woman currently writing her farewell letter to this family. Unlike the original event where Masaki was not around, this time Rukia was staying on the room where Yon stayed.

 

As soon as she finished writing, she went to Ichigo's room and left the letter. She slowly made her way out of the house but was surprised to see Masaki and Isshin waiting for her.

 

"I- uh- " Rukia was unable to form the words to say in front of the people who saved her. Yes, she was saved by them. 

 

In the original events, Karin and Yuzu were hurt and Isshin was knocked out cold.

 

This time around, Masaki along with Isshin put up a fight against the hollow while Ichigo and Rukia were arguing. Rukia was then prompted to bind Ichigo who was able to break the seal upon watching his mother and father struggle against a monster he's never seen before.

 

Rukia, who's powers were slowly getting weaker was then wounded upon helping due to Ichigo, Masaki and Isshin unable to win against the hollow.

 

Rukia then entrusted her powers to Ichigo who unconsciously took it all leaving Rukia completely powerless as evident to her white shihakuso.

 

Ichigo with the guidance of his mother and father vanquished the hollow in one go. 

 

However, this was not Ichigo's first battle. Masaki was not against Ichigo running around performing Konso and eliminating hollows as long as he continues going to school.

 

This was the part where Kon was introduced who rebelled at first but Rukia's presence made him become part of the growing team. 

 

Why team?

 

Well, like in the original Orihime and Chad had an adventure with Ichigo which awakened their powers. Uryu Ishida also joined after his little contest with Ichigo which ended in both of them working together.

 

That was a week ago, and Rukia was present in almost all of them. But her time to go back to Soul Society has come. And so here she was, confronted by Masaki and Isshin.

 

"It's okay Rukia. We knew this day would come. We know where you came from. Take care of yourself." Masaki said.

 

"I- I will." Rukia then rushed towards Masaki and hugged her. Afterwards she bowed towards Isshin who simply gestured his hands in salute.

 

"G-good-bye." Rukia said as she went out crying. As soon as she was outside, she started running.

 

She didn't have to run long as she found herself in the presence of 3 persons. One was an unfamiliar Kido corps practitioner judging from what he's wearing.

 

The other two however were very much familiar to her. One was his childhood friend Renji, while the other was her older brother, Byakuya.

 

"Nii-sama. Renji."

 

"Kuchiki Rukia. You are under arrest for doing criminal acts of giving your powers to a Human. You are to be escorted back to Soul Society where you will be tried by your sins. Do you have anything to say?" Yon immediately stated which surprised both Renji and Byakuya because this was not part of the plan. 

 

They were simply ordered to take Rukia back to Soul Society. But whatever bullshit Yon just said was also true and can be considered correct since each word was exactly what was written in the order. Well, besides the part where he asked if she had anything to say.

 

Rukia didn't say anything and shook her head left and right. As Yon was about to restrain her with a simple Kido spell, a shout was heard by the four of them.

 

"Rukia!!!"

 

Ichigo in his Substitute Shinigami attire came running. 

 

"Ichigo? What are you doing here?? You're supposed to be asleep." Ichigo actually woke up as soon as Rukia went out of his room and followed her. He was also able to listen to her conversation with his parents. 

 

So, without them knowing, he woke up Kon and went out on his spirit form and rushed to follow Rukia just in time to be apprehended.

 

"Is this the human you lent your powers to?" Renji immediately asked, clearly enraged. How could someone so lowly be entrusted with Rukia's powers?

 

"Rukia is coming back with us to Soul Society. She doesn't belong to the Human world." Renji said and charged at Ichigo with his sword.

 

"Bullshit! You're probably forcing her to go with you!" Ichigo blocked Renji's charge using the huge sword on his back.

 

"Rukia, why are you leaving? Are they forcing you?" Ichigo tried to asked Rukia despite currently facing Renji.

 

"This has nothing to do with you, Ichigo. I am leaving on my own accord." Renji smirked at Ichigo.

 

"Hear that human? Besides, if you're really the human whom she gave her powers to, then we need to take it from you." Renji put more pressure on his attack.

 

"Get out of my way!" Ichigo stopped blocking and also slashed his sword only for Renji to avoid it.

 

The two of them engage in a clash with their swords. However, Renji was clearly more experienced compared to Ichigo. This immediately showed as Renji easily overpowered Ichigo and sent him tumbling down.

 

But knowing that his friend might be forced by this unknown people, he gritted his teeth and stood up. He unconsciously flared up his riatsu and his spirit energy glowed through his body.

 

Renji sensing his sudden change was a bit surprised. This guy in front of him was clearly just a human being so how could he have such riatsu? 

 

Not letting Ichigo get the upperhand, Renji flared his riatsu too.

 

"You're just a human with an overgrown Zanpakuto, I bet you don't even know its name."

 

"What?"

 

"Judging from your reaction, you truly don't. Hahaha, all that riatsu is wasted on you. Let me show you what it means to learn your Zanpakuto's name." Renji held his zanpakuto beside him and made a claw motion from the guard of his sword towards the tip.

 

"Roar!!! Zabimaru!" Ichigo widened his eyes upon witnessing Renji's sword took a different form. It divided into different sections from the tip and each section bears a fang. Renji taking advantage of the moment decided to attack.

 

His sword elongated akin to a tail of a beast. It separated according to the division clearly shown upon transformation but somehow an elastic chord was attached inside each piece of the sword which had it return upon Renji's control.

 

Ichigo dodged the attacks but was unable to anticipate the return of the blades which caught him off guard as each fang tears his shoulders like chain saw.

 

Ichigo went down upon receiving such damage. Renji was about to finish him when suddenly multiple spirit arrows rain down on his way. Left with no choice, he retreated to avoid the attack.

 

"Who goes there?!" Renji asked aloud.

 

"Just a nobody passing by. I was just buying things when I saw you about to attack someone I know and kidnap his friend." Ishida answered as he fired another volley of arrows towards Renji and his companions.

 

This time Yon still donning his mask clothing moved his hands and suddenly a barrier was erected in a blink of an eye protecting them. He gestured his other hand and suddenly Rukia was bound with spiritual ropes and was lifted in the air towards their direction.

 

Seeing his friend being taken, Ichigo emotion was triggered. 

 

"Rukia!!!" he roared as his riatsu flared even more than it did earlier. An invisible pressure rained down on everyone around him, even Ishida.

 

'Kurosaki? His riatsu has grown even stronger, is it his emotion that's fueling it?' Ishida asked inside his mind.

 

Out of the three Shinigami, only Renji was affected of Ichigo's sudden explosion of riatsu. Ichigo also only saw Renji as a target since he was the nearest from him. With great vigor he charged towards Renji. While Byakuya and Yon only watched.

 

Somehow, Ichigo was faster and stronger upon their clash. Ichigo overpowered Renji by applying more force in each strike. Ichigo then was able to see an opportunity to disarm Renji.

 

Just then, Ichigo's riatsu focused as he prepares to deal a finishing blow to Renji who was now weaponless and was panicking.

 

But before Ichigo could land a strike, Byakuya's figure flashed. Ichigo was surprised but he felt nothing happened, he turned to see Byakuya's figure.

 

He was a bit relieved but when his line of sight went down, he saw the other part of his sword was pinched by Byakuya. 

 

Ichigo was shocked, right then and there his blood spilled out as he went down and became unconscious.

 

Seeing his brother down, Yon was a bit relieved. 

 

'And stay down, idiot. Well, time to go home before the crazy guy comes.' 

 

Yon gestured with his hands to open the Senkaimon. This time, Rukia was the one surprised by this. Renji and Byakuya were already aware.

 

Uryu Ishida was unable to do anything but watch everything unfold in front of him. It all happened too fast. One moment he was pressured by Ichigo, then the next moment Ichigo beat down one of the enemies. 

 

But was then surprised attack by another. This time it was too fast for the both of them to anticipate, he only realized it when blood suddenly spilled from Ichigo's body, and he fell down.

 

As he saw them about to leave, he gritted his teeth and fired the maximum number of arrows he could ever launched towards them. He saw his arrows rain towards the enemy, and he saw the masked enemy raised his hand as a barrier the same as earlier protected their retreat.

 

He could only swallow his pride knowing that his arrows were rendered useless in a flick of someone's hand.

.

.

.

Upon their return to Soul Society, Rukia was imprisoned just like in the original events. Byakuya and Renji went back to their division quarters.

 

Meanwhile Yon immediately went to his personal quarters. It was to setup his portal way back home. His office as the Vice-Kido Chief was located near the base of the Kido corps. 

 

That was not the same for his personal quarters which separated from the base. It was actually near the location of the Kuchiki Clan. He was near the residential area for various Shinigami with no clan affiliations.

 

As soon as he was settled down. He went home back to Human World.

[AN: He uses his soul form when in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. When in the Human world he uses his physical form.]

.

.

.

He was greeted by his Father and stepsister. His mother was currently busy running the whole clan. While Tier and her tres bestias were back in Hueco Mundo assisting his Clan on the mining site within the Forest of Menos.

 

After a brief interaction with his Father and stepsister, he went to the Clan Head's office and had a talk with his mother. Afterwards, he immediately set off to Hueco Mundo afterwards.

 

'So, you really fell for that blond huh?' Ryu's voice resounded inside him as he was on his way.

 

'This kind of things can't be controlled and naturally happens. That's why I better settle it before cultivating the Cultivation techniques you have completed.'

 

'Wise decision. Backlash could happen anytime if you suddenly loose concentration just because you were distracted by a thought about her.'

 

Yon simply nodded and went on his way. Determined to officially have Tier as his and start his proper cultivation.

 

All this time, he simply let the spirit energy flow directly through his meridians without any guide or any sense. Fortunately, his memories were like a library of cultivation techniques after all the wuxia novels he's read. 

 

This was also the reason why he was able to show a technique called 'earth shattering fist' which was one of the martial arts he's read with a clear instruction on how to train.

 

And right now, he's preparing himself on cultivating the Grandmist Parasitic Medium and the Asura tactics along with a few martial arts techniques.
