Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Encounter, Renji and Byakuya
During the time Ichigo was in school, I was tempering my control at Urahara's big training room. I didn't need to train anything because the place couldn't sustain me so I just practiced control. While discussing different methods and adaptations to Reiatsu with Urahara, Ururu came to inform him that a cat came by. The cat was in fact another person from Soul Society, or a former noble resident of Soul Society, named Shihoin Yoruichi that has the ability to change into a cat. I knew who she was so I wasn't surprised when she talked.
Urahara: Oh! Isn't this Yoruichi! You're back!
Jinta: What happened? That cat is…?
Tessai: Its name is Yoruichi. It is the boss' only relative.
Jinta: Heh…His only relative is a cat. Seems like our boss is very pitiful.
Tessai: (Sighs) I guess you could say that.
Urahara: What's going on, Yoruichi is it going to rain?
Yoruichi: Stop acting, Kisuke. You should know very well "they" have already came.
Urahara: About that…You want to talk about it now or wait until after you're done with your milk?
I came up from behind Yoruichi, picked her up and started petting her.
Sage: So this is your relative, Urahara-san? She is such a beautiful cat, what breed is she?
Yoruichi and Urahara were giving me stiff expressions. Urahara was just as surprised as Yoruichi. From my point of view, they didn't know what the hell was going on, where did I come from? How did I get so close? How was I so fast they didn't notice me? Those were the words that were practically plastered on their faces.
Urahara: S-Sage-san I see that you've learned how to keep your Reiatsu under control in such a short time.
Sage: It was no hard task. Good thing you had so much space to train in. Aww look at her little paws, so well behaved. How did she learn to talk Urahara-san?
Urahara: Well, she…
Yoruichi: I've always known how to talk. Can you put me down now?
I put Yoruichi down and was given an explanation. They told me that people from Soul Society will come to take Rukia back. I was also told that Rukia has committed a crime of giving Shinigami powers to a human. Yoruichi was surprised to see that Urahara was giving me such information and with caution in every gesture. Yoruichi asked to speak to me alone so she and I spoke more in the training area and inquired who I am.
Sage: Just think of me as a bystander, a shadow in the night or an Omnipotent being that can end the world with a flip of my hand.
Yoruichi: If you had that much power all of Soul Society would have known. How are you able to be here undetected?
Sage: Oh, that. (Takes off shirt) Do you see these marks? (Pointing to my body) And now that I can control my Reiatsu keeping my power in check is not a problem.
Yoruichi: What are those? They look ancient, and an immense amount of power is molded into them. But what are they?
Sage: Haha, aw my little kitten, these are seals. I would take off my pants too but just showing you my upper body you can infer that my body is almost completely covered in seals. This is to restrain me from destroying your world with my very presence. I can undo the seals just to show you but I doubt this little place can withstand it.
Yoruichi: Let's say I believe you. Why bother coming here?
Sage: The answer is easy. I came to observe, make friends, see new sights, get a girl and get myself an Asauchi so I can have my own Zanpakuto.
Yoruichi: That sounds simple enough. Then what about if I don't believe you, what would stop me from killing you here and now?
Sage: Hahaha, Even with seals on, my little kitten, I doubt you or Urahara-san would have the power to do so. Here, have a taste.
I put my shirt back on and I let my aura loose, even with all the seals on me, the training area was shaking, debris was floating off the ground and Yoruichi was shaking from head to tail. I flashed behind her and crouched down.
Sage: So, do you really think that, even with armor or weapons, you can even make me flinch? I'm not even trying yet.
I picked up Yoruichi from ground and carried her back upstairs to Urahara's shop. I felt the fear directly from her small body as I held on to her but the moment she knew I was no threat to her she stopped shaking. When we were back upstairs she went to Urahara's side. I'm only guessing but she was probably going to discuss me with him so I left them alone saying I was going to get something to eat. Byakuya and Renji were going to go after Rukia tonight so I didn't over fill or strayed too far, like it mattered, I can literally be across the world and simply teleport back.
As night fell I felt the Reiatsu of two people, other than Chad, Orihime, Kurosaki Isshin, Kurosaki Karin, Ichigo and Ishida. Rukia was in a special Gigai (Faux Body), an artificial body that allows Shinigami to interact with humans because, normally, humans are not supposed to see Shinigami, who are spirits. Rukia's Gigai in particular was specially made by Urahara to contain the Hogyoku (Crumbling Orb), by having Rukia use it, because she was weakened when she encountered a Hollow while protecting Ichigo, the Hogyoku was always moving. Unfortunately for Urahara, this was already planned by someone else to obtain the Hogyoku.
I felt Ishida leave the handicraft store on his way to the location where Ichigo will encounter Byakuya and Renji. Ishida fought them first trying to protect Rukia but was quickly beaten. I felt Ichigo move from his home so he must have read the letter that Rukia left behind for him. Urahara planned on Ichigo encountering Byakuya and Renji so he went to release Ichigo of his body and letting his Shinigami self out. When Ichigo starts fighting I will flash to their location. I will try not to fight them because they will be too easy to defeat. Later in the story Ichigo will find out that Byakuya is a Captain of the Gotei 13 (13 Division Imperial Guards) and Renji is his Lieutenant. Per Soul Society rules, Lieutenants and above have their Reiatsu severely restricted when coming into the human world because their power is too strong. I laughed at the notion because if they cause damage with their presence, what does that say about me?
Ichigo will be fighting a weakened Renji and overwhelm him sure but it will end when Byakuya steps in. I will pick up Ichigo after the fight because I don't want to disturb the flow of the story too much. Just now, Ichigo stopped moving, I guess it's time to watch the show. I flashed to their location and found a good spot. Even with their trained perception, they weren't aware of my presence. Ichigo swung his sword, stopping Renji from attacking Rukia.
Renji: Huh?! Who…who the hell are you?
Ichigo: Kurosaki Ichigo!! The one who will defeat you remember it well!
