A Shocking Crime Scene

In the centre of a seemingly endless and eerie throne room, seated upon the throne, a young girl with black markings all over her skin can be seen being hugged like a doll by her crimson haired master.

"Sigh… Master I am literally inside your soul and you can come see me whenever you wish... So why are you being so clingy…" An exasperated Zanpaktou asked.

"But Noroi-chan! How can I function without my new found twin sister's hugs?" Jasmine complained.

"…Hmph! Who is your twin sister? Idiot Master!" Noroi no Ojou retorted as she began to struggle out of her masters grasp.

"Ehh, so mean~" The crimson haired girl cried in faux depression. "Ne Noroi-chan, I had fun these past two days~ I will come back to play some more later okay~?"

"Idiot Master! Who wants to play with you?!" The spirit exclaimed, though if one looked closely you could see red dusting her cheeks.

"Hehe~ Such a tsundere Noroi-chan~" Jasmine said as if she won some sort of victory.

Moving her blushing Zanpaktou Spirit off her lap, Jasmine stood up with a feline like stretch.

It has been two days since she had arrived in her inner world and met her Sword Spirit.

Learning about the issues that had happened with her conflicting personalities and that they solved itself in such a way, made her a bit wary of side effects it would have on both of them at first but after spending time together, Jasmine began to view her Zanpaktou as a twin rather than a manifestation of power due to the circumstances of her creation.

In the two days they spent together, Jasmine and Noroi sparred for hours on end while she was mastering her Shikai's abilities.

Jasmine was feeling a ease during these days, as if an unknown weight that was holding her down was gone.

Meeting her Zanpaktou allowed her to have someone to vent her issues to, someone that she can share all her secrets without any chance of betrayal.

Yes, she told Qingyue about her memories, but she never told her about what else she found out after awakening them.

The three wishes she received, two of which that had no real drawbacks that she could find so far, however it was the third wish that she has been unsure of how to breach with others.

Having the chat group gave a feeling of options and adventures outside the world she was reborn in.

Her second wish is still a bit vague but she believes it has to do with her growth, as if she no longer had any limits like bottlenecks or a lack of certain conditions, she could progress her strength regardless.

'Sigh, Was I lucky for such a thing...' Jasmine couldn't help but lament.

Jasmine had talked at length with her Zanpaktou about how they should explain her needs to the others in the future, they both agreed that it will have to happen sooner rather than later, but for now they need to learn more about it themselves.

They couldn't really come to any definitive conclusion on what type she was, raising her finger to her mouth and began to poke at her longer than normal canines.

'The Bloody Jasmine is a fucking Vampire… Sigh the Irony wasn't lost on me. I still haven't drunk any blood yet but I'm beginning to feel the burn in my throat, Sigh, at least I'm not having issues with the sun.'

*Tap*

A small hand petting her head broke Jasmine from her thoughts.

"Stop thinking too hard, We will take things as they come." Noroi said with a kind and reassuring smile on her usually haughty face.

Seeing her Zanpaktou trying reassure her made Jasmine feel warm, with a step forward Jasmine pulls the Sword Spirit into a big bear hug.

"Hehe~ I knew my Noroi-chan is the best~"

"Idiot Master let This Princess go at once!" Shouted a flustered Noroi.

"Hehehe~" Giggling as she put the blushing spirit down.

Facing away from her sword spirit about to leave her inner world.

"Thank you Sister." Jasmine said with a soft genuine smile as she vanished leaving the Spirit alone in the throne room.

"…"

"Hmph! Idiot Sister… I will always be here to help you." The Black haired Spirit snorted before finishing in a soft whisper.

+ + + + + + + + + +

Blinking open her eyes, Jasmine stands up feeling a few of her joints popping from sitting in one place for so long.

'Hmm?' Jasmine perked up at hearing the sound of swords clashing not far from her, placing her sword on the small of her lower back, she made her way towards the noise.

As Jasmine came closer to the centre of the training underground the sounds grew louder.

Walking around the hot spring she finds a dark skinned woman dressed in a skin-tight bodysuit with an orange and white jacket, her dark purple hair was done up in a high ponytail that fell between her shoulder blades.

The woman was sat on a ridge that overlooked a wide open clearing that was currently filled with thousands of large swords, Jasmine watched as two figures blinked around the clearing in a battle that was resulting in many of the blades being shattered.

With a mischievous smile blooming on her face, Jasmine sneaked up on the purplette.

"Wahh~! Pretty Big Sister have you seen my cat anywhere? He's a small black cat with golden eyes, he can speak and answers to the name Yonusuke! Wahh~! What if he gets stuck up a tree!? Will you help me find him?" Jasmine jumped and wrapped her arms around Yoruichi's neck and hung off her like a backpack, asking her ridiculous questions.

"…"

"…"

"Really Little Princess." Deadpanned the purplette at the Little Demon hanging on her back.

"*Gasp!* Yoru-chan is a pretty big sister?!" Jasmine said in faux surprise.

"… Why are you trying so hard, Sigh." Yoruichi said in exasperation.

"…"

"No fun Yoru-chan~" Jasmine cried out with a small pout while climbing off the chocolate skinned woman's back before sitting in her lap with a grin.

"How the rolls have changed~ Hehe~"

"Ara? I didn't know you were so forward with your feelings? Have you done this with Qingyue yet? She might get jealous you know~" Yoruichi asked with a sly smile.

"Geh- Oi nothing is happening between Qingyue and I!" Jasmine retorted indignantly.

"Oh so quick to deny it~" The cat lady teased.

"… You win this time." Jasmine said in defeat.

"Nyahaha~ Now how was your little meditation trip, I can see your Zanpaktou changed slightly." Yoruichi looked down at the crimson haired princess in her lap.

"Hmm, Noroi-chan and I had a good time~" Jasmine replied, unsheathing her blade and holding it front of the both of them before saying in a proud tone.

"The marks and symbols along the blade and scabbard are manifestations of the seal that hold Noroi-chan's Curse at bay until she is released~"

"Curse huh… Sounds scary~" Yoruichi mused in interest.

"Mhm, my Sister is the best~" Jasmine replied with explaining anything.

The pair continued to relax and talk while watching the orange haired Shinigami battle his Zanpaktou spirit in an effort to learn Bankai in 3 days using Kisuke's special device.

"Time for a break Ichigo! Go cool off in the hot spring and recoup a bit before you can get back to training!" Yoruichi called out.

Pausing in their fight, the pair split going in different directions, one going towards the hot spring and the other to a quiet spot away from everyone.

With a grin growing on her small face, Jasmine stood up from Yoruichi's lap and started making her way towards Ichigo's Zanpaktou Spirit.

"Sigh, I can feel that grin from here Little Princess, don't cause too much trouble." Yoruichi called out to her.

The only reply she gave was a small wave as if to say "Yeah, Yeah."

Arriving in front of the Sword Spirit, she leans forward with a devilish grin.

"Ne Uncle-san, have I seen you before? You look familiar..."

"…"

"Why are you ignoring me Uncle-san?" She asked with a pout.

"…"

"Tsk, no fun Quincy look-a-like~, I just wanted to ask if you ever plan on letting his real Sword Spirit out. How can a Quincy's power be a Zanpaktou Spirit~?" Jasmine said in a voice that only he could hear.

As soon as the word Quincy left her mouth the Spirit tensed up in shock and was preparing to fight, hearing the final part of her question he couldn't help but flinch at the accusation.

"…"

"Ichigo is not ready to accept his Zanpaktou as it is now, maybe in the future, but for now I am enough to keep him safe." The spirit finally replied with a stoic voice.

"Hmm, fine. I won't say anything, I was just curious~" Jasmine replied with a hum as she turned and walked away.

Seeing the Little Demon walk away, the Spirit let out a small sigh of relief that she wouldn't reveal things before Ichigo was ready.

"Bye bye Quincy Uncle~" He heard whispered in his ear.

The Spirit's head snapped to the side only to see no one was there, looking around he sees the Little Demon already back to speaking with the cat woman on the other side of the clearing.

'Sigh, Idiot Master why are you messing with the Quincy Spirit for no reason?' Jasmine heard her Zanpaktou ask in her mind.

'Hehe~ I couldn't resist, he looked so broody and serious, I just wanted to make him sweat a little~' Jasmine replied with a grin.

'… Idiot Master.' Was the only response she got.

She made it back to Yoruichi's side of the clearing and got her attention.

"Ne~ Yoru-chan, I'm gonna go for a walk and maybe deal with one of Aizen's little helpers while you watch over the Shounen Protagonist~"

"… Shounen Protagonist, really Little Princess, sigh. Fine go have your fun, but make sure you're there in time for the execution." Yoruichi deadpanned at her before sighing in acceptance.

"Hehe~ of course Yoru-chan! Wouldn't want to miss Strawberry-chan's big reveal~" A mischievous smile that threatened to split her face in half.

"… Just go already." Was all Jasmine received in reply.

"Hehe~ Fine I'm going, I'm going~"

'Hmm, If I'm being all sneaky like a ninja, let's buy one of those~' Opening the Naruto section of the shop Jasmine bought a porcelain fox mask and placed it on face with a small giggle.

"Heh~ Now let's go kill me a Captain~"

"…" Hearing the Little Demon's excitement over her little murder plan, Yoruichi could only shake her head with a wry smile.

+ + + + + + + + + +

Strolling through the mostly empty streets of the Seireitei, other than patrols, Jasmine was wondering what she wants to do.

'Hmm, Aizen hasn't done his little death drama yet… though I can sense him deep in central 46 though, so I think he's already set up his little drama scene…'

Pausing in her steps as a wide smile grew on her face as she came to an amazing idea, with a step forward she vanished on the spot.

+ + + + + + + + + +

It was early morning on the third day since the Ryoka invaded the Seireitei and apart from a few battles ending with a few heavy injuries, there has been no life threatening ones.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA! CAPTAIN AIZEN!?" Someone screamed in distress that echoed through the early morning quiet of the Seireitei.

Impaled on the side of a tower was Squad 5 Captain, Sousuke Aizen, one of the most liked Captains in the Gotei 13.

Though this alone was unbelievable, it was the scene in which he was found that shocked them to the core.

The whole area was destroyed in what could of only been a large and intense fight.

Though confused at first on how no one heard a battle that resulted in the death of a Captain, it was when they found another body that the picture made a little more sense, though only slightly.

Found buried under some rubble at the bottom of the tower that Aizen was impaled upon, was the bled out body of Squad 9 Captain Kaname Tousen.

With the use of Tousen's bankai that seals the opponent's senses, a battle between the two without alerting others became more believable.

With Aizen's water-type Zanpaktou that confused enemies versus Tousen's abilities, the battle scenario slowly began to form.

While confusing Tousen with his Zanpaktou's abilities, Aizen managed to deal enough fatal damage that lead Tousen to bleed out.

But before dying Tousen must have used his Bankai and impaled Aizen with his own Zanpaktou as a way to gain a pyrrhic victory.

Though the question remained, just what were they fighting about? It was not until the Captain's quarters were searched that some things came to light.

In Aizen's study they found a note to his Lieutenant about his suspicions about Squad 3 Captain Gin Ichimaru.

While in Tousen's quarters they found a crudely written note, in a way that someone who could not see would try to write something, that fingered Aizen as a traitor to the Gotei 13 and that he was going to confront him about it.

These missives caused widespread panic and confusion, with a Captains meeting being called to get to the bottom of the situation.

While all this was happening, a crimson haired girl wearing a fox mask appeared to be deep in thought as she watched the Shinigami running around after her little prank on Aizen. 

'Hmm, as fun as setting this all up was, it is nothing compared to the taste of blood… Sigh, I felt like I was in ecstasy as soon as it touched my lips…' Jasmine sighed remembering what happened last night.

'I did find out something interesting though… I seem to consume the souls into myself, which made me think of Alucard from that Hellsing anime… Which is fine, I guess, it has pros and cons I'll have to work out…' Slowly a smile bloomed upon her face.

"Heh~ The best thing was that I also absorbed the energy and I felt myself slowly inch closer to the 9th Tier of the Divine Master Realm."

With one last smug look at her masterpiece of a set up, her figure blurred and vanished before appearing seated on the execution stand.

"Now I can just relax until the end of the mission and watch things play out unless something unexpected happens~" She mused aloud as she laid back and watched the clouds.
