Secrets, More Secrets

Part I
"I come to report another death," The young shinigami had been loyal to the Gotei 13 in these times of moral crisis, yet he visibly wavered whenever helooking into the captain-commanders shattered and tired eyes. "A middle-aged shinigami, that apparently knew of secret technology for the Gotei 13."

Shunsui lifted himself from his tall, decorative chair; that lay in the centre of the dark room he resided in. For the past few nights he had decided to rent a small room from a family of his loyalists. Only yesterday had the home owners, a mother and father, been killed in a ruthless revolt that was only quelled with the arrival of Byakuya Kuchiki and his division. "The Rukongai mass armies to fight against us. So we will set up a stronghold around the headquarters. In one year, I want every man and woman with their own room in that complex, and every able body training with the Captains from dusk till dawn!"

"Yes captain-commander." The man scurried off, catching the exhaustion of Shunsui's as if he had caught his cold. Shunsui strode out of the room, into the pitch black night that he had felt through the windows and noticed something, abnormal. Around this time the shinigami would not mass in such numbers, and they certainly would wear white overalls, only captains would. Around three of these white dressed shinigami approached Shunsui and instantly he knew, that one face, the only man alive that instilled true fear in him; Aizen. Aizen leaped forward and aimed at Shunsui with a jab, but here, in the night, where most of his bloddiest encouters had occured; he had the undeniable advantage. Shunsui dropped low, and sent an uppercut across Aizen chin. Aizen just dodged and ran the opposite direction, and Shunsui realised he had been trapped, for, in that instant, eight of these shinigami had surrounded him. Crap, he muttered as he looked up just in time to see the flash of blue light that ravaged the empty sky.Two men fell, and six of the shinigami were impaled by rods of diving black lightning. The first to land, wore a dark cloak and the second, a brown polar coat. The first to land, swung a blade; recently hidden, and took a head with his swing, then with the other hand, he grabbed the face of the last survivor andcrushed it with a flash of light.

"Thank you." Shunsui said, he noticed a strand of hair and knew who they were, "Ichigo, Shiraga."
