The wind blew, kicking up the leaves across the green grass. The field of flowers that seemed to have come to life, lifted their petals to the sky, and the sun shined, giving them brilliant colors in its glow.
On a hill overlooking the large city, where everything was so white and bleak. A tree sat, it's high branches and full leaves, gave shade to anyone who needed it. At this moment, one person sat, calling this place there napping area for the time being.
"*Yawn, did I fall asleep? What a pain, but it's just more comfortable here." Even among the wind, and other sounds. A smooth deep voice came to life, while a hand covered in a red hand guard reached slowly to their face.
"Even after so long, I can't deny a call of a nap even now. *sigh, and what a long time it's been." Their voice was distant, yet full of understanding as they spoke again. "600 plus years to long. And still I find myself here, among this sea of endless flowers.." their words came to a end as their hand reached down next to them self. They picked a flower as they pulled it to their face, the pink of the flower mixed well with the black of their hair, that danced in the wind.
"Those two are busy, but my favorite person is around. Should I get moving.." they spoke but before they could finish, their cold yet lazy eyes looked next to them. Their eyes locking on to a person kneeling in the grass by their side.
"So you were here captain.. of course you were." This time, a sweet voice spoke. It was young and full of youth as the person who appeared out of no where spoke. "Your family is awaiting your presents.." the figure continued as they looked up.
Their eyes looking at the man in front of them, his 6'3 height slowly standing, while their black long hair danced. There hair having a bone like clip on their head holding there bangs. While another sat on the side of there head, holding their hair back. Their black Shihakushō flowing like water in the wind, yet what stood out and made his look different was his blood red haori, it's black diamonds mixed well with the white and black of his outfit. Yet at the back on it, there was no number like there should be.
"I am no longer a captain you know that, yuki. As for why your here, my family can wait. It's not like my presents is missed." Saying this the man turned around. His back facing the figure as they looked out to the west. "Tell my little brother, I will come when the time is right." The man said, looking back slightly, watching the black hair girl bite their lip.
"It.. it is not right! You did not deserve it.. you are my captain, you and you alone, so why? Why did you not fight? Why do you let them walk all over.." the girls hand shook, yelling almost as memories hit her mind in waves. Only to freeze, feeling a hand reach down to rub the girls face. Her eyes shook slightly feeling the hand as it lifted her face.
"All of that happened a long time ago. Sometimes yuki, sometimes you have to give up on something for what's best of those you love." His eyes were dead and cold. Yet looks so soft at her as he spoke words full of understanding. "I will always be grateful, grateful for your loyalty, and one day even though I hope it never comes, you will understand my words." The man said, his hand leaving her face as she tried to reach out.
"Captain.." The only words yuki could get out was that, as the man hand disappeared and all that was left behind was the scattered petals of glowing roses.
[Not far to the west]
"I like this spot the best, I always have.." The man once again could be found sitting this time though it was on a roof. Below him was black tile of roofing on this base, his eyes looking up to the sun as he looked out to the court yard far below.
"But again it would seem I have a guest, why does no one let me have my time?" His voice was playful as he looked to his left, seeing a young woman look at him. Her short black hair dancing as her eyes showed a hint of displeasure.
"Because you come here uninvited, no matter your relationship with the lady, you use that too come here and disturb her." The girl spoke while it wasn't total aggressive, you could hear the fire in her voice.
"*sigh, is it that? Or is it.. I disturb your time with your goddess? What do you say little soi?" His words were still so playful as he looked at her, showing those eyes that only seemed to be that way with her.
"Tch.. one I told you to never call me that. Two I've had enough of your twisted words. Speak and state your business here." She hated it, she hated those warm eyes for her, she had seen his real eyes long ago, one's full of coldness, sadness and something else. His eyes were only soft with two people from what she remembered.
"Your no fun, I just wanted to see your beautiful face little soi? Is that so wrong." The man said, not caring about the others he felt around him.
"Stop with your nonsense, if you have come to see me, then you have seen me, so leave and to not disturb the lady again." She said, getting out of her battle stance as she couldn't believe this guy.
"Your, just like back then huh little soi?" The mans voice was so clear, while he moved at speed she couldn't follow. Red glowing rose petals fell around them as he appeared in front of her. "Still locked away In your fake world, still fated to be disappointed, by what you will lose for it. You mistake loyalty with obsession, isn't that right? Beautiful little soi." The man's hand rubbed her cheek, while she finally reacted.
"What are you talking about? Get away from me." Feeling his touch soi fon was stunned, kicking out after her mind was a mess from his words. "Tch.." only to be disappointed as it hit nothing but air.
"Well that's enough fun, your lady is here, so I will pay her a visit." His voice faded as he left her and the others on the roof.
"I hate this guy more then that trash captain, everyone move. I will go to my ladies side." Her face twitched slightly at how he acts, raising her hand to touch the spot he did, she shook her head. Talking to what seemed to be no one before disappearing.
Meanwhile, the man appeared within a long wooden hallway, with doors lining the sides of it. His eyes locking on to the door in front of him as he walked slowly to it. His hand reaching out as he pulled it to the side. His eyes being greeted with a long shadow, where a large green chair sat like a throne. His eyes looking at the woman on it, her pretty purple long hair, gold eyes and dark skin did make her a beauty. Along with the fact her Shihakushō was more revealing then others.
'Still the same as always, both of them..' the man thought, looking at the woman then to soi fon who knelt beside her.
"To what do I owe the pleasure, Captain kuchiki? Or should I say, Ibara kuchiki?" The woman said on the throne with a playful smile.
"It's nice to see you again, yoruichi, and even if it was moments ago. It's always good to see you soi fon.." Ibara said as he looked at both, smirking as he saw soi fon's face.
"You.. it's lady yoruichi to you!" Soi fon said, only to get a hand up from yoruichi to stop.
"Why do you always mess with her Ibara, you know the out come." yoruichi Said, while she couldn't hide her chuckle that made soi fon deadpan.
"I can't help it, her little world is so fun to poke fun at." Ibara said with a smile, while he closed his eyes. "But that's for another time." He continued seeing soi fon face, her eyes stabbing daggers into him.
"I guess so.." yoruichi said her teasing laugh, laced her words as she looked at soi fon. "Tell me Ibara, what is it you need." yoruichi voice became serious as she watched his dead eyes open.
"It would be better if I showed you, another experiment was found by me. I think you'd be very interested in it." Ibara spoke, his words confusing soi fon but made yoruichi's eyes open a little.
"Soi fon.. leave us." yoruichi Said her voice no longer playful.
"But lady.." Soi fon wanted to say, only to look at yoruichi, who's eyes were dark and left no room for question. "Very well my lady.." she continues as she looks at the man Ibara with anger for making her lady speak like that.
"Bye little soi, until next time." Ibara said as he watched soi fon disappear.
"Enough Ibara, tell me more about this experiment.." yoruichi voice rang out in his ear as she leaned forward.
"Well where should I start.."
