Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 451 "The Scar": The massive black owl flew over what remained of the fight between Seto Tetsuya and Sada Teruo - a crater many miles wide and deep. He had been circling the area closest to its center for a few hours now…Long after Eisaku Koga had gone.
Naraku’s dark eyes left a hazy purple trail of light in the dark sky as he continued to circle the center. His eyes grew wide at a sound he hadn’t heard in Las Noches before…Thunder. His eyes widened even more in panic. He screeched loudly, drawing unwanted attention. In the moments after, it grew dark very quickly. No… Teruo let out another scream. This was not a normal darkness. This was a shadow. |

Koga swooped down and grabbed the smaller owl in his talons. He sped toward the burning sands and slammed the small owl into the ground. Screeching loudly, Koga dug his talons into the smaller bird. It was not very often that Koga took an offensive approach, especially against Teruo and his wicked Naraku. But, he had grown tired of the Daemon masquerading as him in any form.
Before Koga could bury the annoyance, Naraku shifted in form and escaped his grasp. But, he did not go far. Koga lurched forward and grabbed the Daemon in his mouth. He swung the shifty blade around like a child playing with a doll.
Koga was enjoying himself.

Naraku shifted in form as Koga the owl flung him to the ground. Or at least he tried to. He couldn’t do more than shift between his own liquid-esque form, Koga’s owl, and the form of his master. Naraku looked up at the enormous owl and fired a cero from both eyes.
Koga threw his head back in laughter.
Naraku ran. But, he couldn’t stay on the ground long. It was scorching. And his bare feet on the sand burned intensely. So, Naraku shifted in form, again taking the shape of Koga’s owl. A much smaller and far less intimidating copy.

As the lesser owl began to fly away, Koga opened his wings and swatted the tiny owl away. He laughed before turning his eyes to the sky. More thunder. And, what’s this? Clouds…In Hueco Mundo? Koga screeched loudly as he looked back to Naraku’s copy of him.
Naraku had once again taken the form of its master, and was crawling along the sands. Koga was unsure if Naraku could feel pain. But the way it moved suggested it did. Koga screeched as loudly as it could. Then…He realized what he had not considered in the last few minutes.
This was Naraku. Naraku’s presence meant that Teruo survived Tervaden’s attack.
But, he knew that…

The sands burned. But, he needed to do this. He needed to find his master. Naraku looked back to find Koga just standing there…Watching. He returned to his task, burying his hands in the hot sand as he moved toward the center marked by Tervaden’s blade. He touched it.
Naraku screamed and, for a moment, shifted back into its own form.
Koga chuckled and tilted his head to the side.
After a few moments of laying on the hot sand in his own form, Naraku shifted again. He narrowed his eyes at the blade. More burying his hands. More looking around. There! A jagged line of black sand. It looked like a scar within the scar. Naraku crawled over to the line of black sand. Then he looked back at where Koga should have been. The owl was no longer there. How swiftly Koga moved now bothered him. But, it doesn't matter now.
Finding the widest part of the line, Naraku drove his right arm into the scorching sand. He waited.

From high above, Koga watched as Naraku was slowly pulled deeper into before finding his footing. Naraku slowly rose and pulled his arm and hand from the hot sands. Holding onto him was his master. The bloody hand held onto him until he was free from the sand above the waist.
Koga’s eyes narrowed. The Ayakashi’s body was marked - scarred - from his battle with Tervaden.

Sada cursed and growled at Naraku, as he clawed his way out of the hot sand. He cursed louder as Naraku shifted in form, returning the the shape of a blade. It fell to the ground. “Fuck!” cursed Sada. He clawed his way forward until he was out of the hole.
“You did not beat me!” he growled. A mix of blood and saliva oozed from his mouth. “You…did not beat me!” He clumsily rose to his feet, hunching over to maintain balance. “I am still standing, Dead One! I am still here!!” Sada spun around, looking for Tervaden. “Where are you?! WHERE ARE YOU?!”

Koga remained in the sky as he continued to watch the Ayakashi. It was strange to see Teruo this way, broken and fragile. The Ayakashi struggled to keep himself from falling over as he continued to curse the Shinigmai.
Teruo looked up, seeing Koga circling above him. “Fuck…” he mumbled seeing the owl flying toward him. Teruo fell back and pushed himself away from the owl as he landed.
Koga tilted his head to the side as he looked at Teruo. Craning his neck forward, he pecked at the ground in front of the Ayakashi.
“Stop that!” shouted Teruo.
“Or what?” questioned Koga. “You barely have the energy to stand. And, let us not forget, I know you won’t attack me.”

“And, why won’t I?” asked Teruo, the mix of blood and saliva still oozing. “You believe evolution makes you better? Stronger…than me? I am a demon born -”
“From the blood of a god…Yes, I know.” interrupted Koga. “You've never been too fond of being called an Ayakashi.”
“Because I am not!” growled Teruo, still on the ground. “I am not a hollow!”
“No.” Koga craned his neck forward so that he could get as close to the Ayakashi as he could. “But, you were beaten by a Shinigami…A Shinigami that you, like most others, assumed was far weaker than he appeared. I believe the humans say…His bark is worse than his bite.”
“He didn’t win.” Teruo grinned, as more blood spilled from his lips. “Look at me. I am still here. He isn’t.”
Koga stepped to the side revealing the Shinigami’s zanpakuto still planted in the sand.
Teruo’s eyes grew wide. “And...And, what does that mean to me?” Suddenly, Teruo sprang to his feet and looked around. “Show yourself! Now!”

Koga’s feathers ruffled as he laughed. “You won’t find him here.”“Then, I will go to Karakura and tear him apart there!” shouted Teruo.Koga stepped on him. “No, you will not!” Putting his full weight onto the Ayakashi, Koga pushed him deep into the sand. “You will stay here and wallow in your defeat. You will stay here,” Koga stomped his foot until the Daemon was as deep in the sand as he could force him. “Until He needs you.”
Spreading his wings wide, Koga took flight. He circled the center of the crater until the crack of lightning lit up the sky. Koga eyed the zanpakuto at the center of the crater one more time, and chose to leave it there. In no vision of the future did he see how Tervaden survived this fight. He simply knows that he stands against him at the end of all things.
It started to rain. END RP “ Running In Circles”

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 451 “Running In Circles”: (continued) When the gate opened, Kita was pushed back from the force of heat, it was so hot she had to shield her face, doing so, she could feel the skin on her hands burning. Quickly she wrapped her shield around her. She looked out the open gate not sure where she was, all she knew was that it was hot beyond all belief. Was she in Hell? No. When she was left with the use of the Godly gate she was told the only two places the gate would not open would be in Hell and the Godly realm. So she was not in Hell. But where?
Slowly she stepped forward and out of the gate, leaving the gate open for fear of what she might find, or more so, what might find her. She continued forward seeing the stilled heat rising from the ground and above her the stilled falling rain. Where was she? Continuing to look around she looked up into the night sky. Looking closely she realized she was in a pit, or a crater. Whatever it was it was deep, and very hot. Turning in place Kita froze when she did a 180. There, stuck in the ground was Seto’s sword, Chinmoku, but no Seto in sight. She started to panic and turned in a full 360, looking around the pit and then up around the edge that led into the pit. Where was he, and why did the gate bring her…here wherever that is? She was thinking of Seto’s location, which met the gate should have taken her straight to him.
Quickly she entered the gate once more Vale Tervaden at the forefront of her mind. The gate opened again the same blast of heat that she first encountered washed over her body once more, swiftly she wrapped her shield around her once more. Stepping out of the gate, and right in front of her was Chinmoku. The pit in Kita’s stomach sank more. She spun on her toes, entered the gate, and spoke aloud in an ordering tone, “Take me to Vale Tervaden.”
The gate closed and opened a few seconds later. Again, the same thing. Kita did not even step out of the gate only stared at the sword that displayed itself right in front of the gate opening. She quickly spun again and announced.
“Take me to Seto Tetsuya,” the gate closed.
When the gate opened, Kita’s heart clenched in her chest. There, Chinmoku still stood. Kita wrung her hands in front of her. “Vale,” she bit her lower lip, her body trembling and tears stung her eyes. “Vale, where are you? What happened to you?”
Suddenly Kita lunged forward and grabbed Chinmoku. The second she wrapped her hand around the hilt an agonizing scream escaped her, but she did not release Chinmoku as she tried to pull the sword into the gate with her, but to no avail, Chinmoku was not moving, she gave it one last good pull only to have her hand slip and cause her to fall on her backside. Out of reflex, her hands went behind her as she fell, stopping her fall so she did not fall back and hit her head. Hissing loudly she brought her hands in front of her looking down at them, her hand had been branded from Chinmoku’s hilt. She hissed again, as just breathing on it caused an agonizing pain, and she could not heal herself, so she had to live with the pain until she could get to a healer. Quickly she pulled the belt from her robe and carefully started wrapping it around her hand. Tears rolled down her cheeks as the pain shot up her arm, blood rising to the top of the bandage from the severe burn.
Once her hand was wrapped, she looked back out of the gate opening, Chinmoku still there on display, demanding her attention. She sighed lifting her hand to close the gate when she heard a faint whisper of a voice. As faint as a butterflies wings in flight. Her hand lowered to her side and she listened closer. For a minute it was silent, but she waited, another few seconds ticked by and she realized she had to be hearing things. Time was stopped there was no way something or someone was still animated. Looking at Chinmoku once more she took a deep breath."Kita..." "Seto?!" Kita spun quickly looking behind her, "Seto, was that you? Seto, where are you?" Silence fell around her once more."Kita... Kita spun again her eyes now on Chinmoku. Is it possible? Kita thought to herself. Could he be? In Chinmoku?? She listened again for a few more minutes to see if he might call out to her again and maybe even say more, but nothing came.
She wiped away her tears and gave the gate another order. “Take me away from this crater and the heat, but keep me in the same realm.”
When the gate opened, the energy of the realm washed over her and Kita knew exactly where she was, Hueco Mundo. She stepped out and let the gate close behind her, time reanimating. She looked around and saw nothing, the terrain had changed dramatically, and the atmosphere screamed change, there were no hollows, or life to be seen, and no Las Noches, but that was not what she found odd. Thunder clapped overhead and rain was soaking her to the bone. She held out her hand letting the rainwater cool the burn on her hand. Looking up into the night sky, her mind churning wildly in thought, and the rain washing away her tears as they fell. With no answers, Kita turned snapping her fingers of the good hand. The gate opened and took her home.Moved |

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 453 "Coming Back: Part One": What happened? I…I can’t remember. There was a flash of light. Blinding. And then there was a pain that swallowed me whole and thrust me into an emptiness filled with a dry, burning heat. I’m weightless in this emptiness…Weightless in between the memories. Memories…
I can’t see her face anymore. She is so far away from me. I often wonder who I would be if she hadn’t been taken from me. But, you can’t change the past. You can only forget it. Why…Why am I choosing to forget her?
Oh…That’s right. Yumiko. She’s someone I want to forget. All of her loveliness and care…I want to forget it. To love and be loved by her, that’s all I wanted. I still love her. But, I just know that I’ll lose her too. No…I…I did. I lost her. She walked away from me. Good for her.
“Vale, where are you? What happened to you?”“Kita…” Why is she here? What do you mean what happened to me? Wait…That’s right. The flash of light. I was fighting Sada and I released my bankai. But, why? Why did I release my bankai - in its entirety? I haven’t done that since my Captain’s exam. And, even then, they begged me to recall it before any damage was done. I know the consequences of releasing his power. He’s shown me but in the safety of his own realm. I wouldn’t just release that upon the world.
Why can’t I remember?"Seto, was that you? Seto, where are you?"“Kita…” She's leaving...No wait! Where are you going? Why are you leaving? You’re looking right at me! Why don’t you see me? You’re looking right at me! Don’t leave me! Kita, don’t leave me! No. Please come back…END RP “On Shaking Grounds” |

Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 470 "Setting the Pace": Shosei appeared at the center of the crater. "Who would have thought..." he said, looking around at the gapping whole where Las Noches once stood. "There is indeed more to you than meets the eye." Shosei glanced down at the sword planted in the sand. "But now," he wrapped his hand around the hilt of the blade. "It is time..." Just as Shosei moved to pull the blade from the sand, a hand latched onto his wrist.
"Oh there you are." Shosei smirked as he looked to the Shinigami standing at his right. "I was beginning to worry you were actually dead." |

Seto's face was blank as he looked to the man. "Even if you were capable of worry," his eyes fell to the Hogyoku in the man's chest. "It's been two days since all of this..." Seto looked around, seeing for the first time the consequences of releasing the full power of his bankai. He let go of the man's wrist as he turned and observed the devastation. He could smell the moisture in the air and feel the heat rising from the sand.
"You said it's time..." Turning quickly, Seto grabbed the hilt of Chinmoku and pulled it from the ground. "Time for what exactly?"
"I don't know." answered Shosei, a smile on his lips. "I haven't been told what your purpose is just yet?"
"My purpose?" questioned Seto. "And, just who has some grand design for me?"

Shosei raised a hand and placed it gently over the Hogyoku. "He has a plan. We are meant to help him."
"Him?" Seto kept his blade unsheathed. "The Hogyoku is a him?"
Shosei nodded. "He will be called Masami. And, he will change the worlds."
Seto's expression remained blank. He knew as much about the Hogyoku as most did. But, he recalled nothing about it having a name. "What is Masami? What does he want?"
Folding his arms behind his back, Shosei began to paced the center of the crater. "Masami wants-" He paused then continued. "For now, he wants peace."
