Kapitel 2: Birth of Araya Shohei

262 years ago, 44th District South Rukongai;

A Shinigami couple stood before the fallen twin Gods Sharaku and Rahaku at the Shrine to pray for their unborn baby as the mother going to be in a labor soon within a few days.

Looking at the Shrine, the husband spoke, "honey, do you really believe they exist? Unlike Mimikage-kami sama, I have never heard of them granting wishes and people believe they don't even exist and it's just for decoration. That's why no one visits here."

The wife glared at him, "if you don't want to visit, you should just stay outside but don't dare to disrespect Sharaku-kami sama and Rahaku-kami sama. All our ancestors worshipped them and our clan's progenitor claimed that he communicated with them. Our history records can't be wrong."

As the husband shrugged his shoulders, they went inside and prayed while the attendant of the wife just stayed outside to guard. Just when they were about to exit, suddenly, portals began to open in the sky, and Hollows of small to Menos Grande started to appear all over the Rukongai for an unknown reason, which threw off the Soul society in chaos.

While the Hollows were massacring and absorbing the Souls, Shinigami of the Gotei 13 were deployed to save from the crisis. Meanwhile, at the Shrine, the husband was fighting with the Hollows while his wife was taken to safety into the Shrine by the attendant.

As the wife spoke, "Minami, forget about me and go help my husband," the attendant went into a dilemma, "but, your protection..." The wife lashed out, "follow my orders."

Just when Minami bowed and started walking towards the exit, all of a sudden, the wife started screaming, "f*** my water broke. I'm going into labor, right now." Her attendant immediately turned around and rushed towards her, "let me assist you, Chiaki-sama..."

The wife screamed, "no. Minami, take me to another location, right now. You can't disrespect our god..."

After a while, the baby was extracted and Minami handed the baby to the weak mother and smiled, "congratulations, Chiaki-sama. It's a boy."

As the mother smiled in happiness, the baby suddenly stopped crying and started staring somewhere. Meanwhile, inside the hidden sealed room of the Shrine, two Statues that only resembles large legs with one eye each trembled suddenly.

Kasumioji Clan Manor;

In front of the Matriarch of the Clan stood a vassal/servant while he was reporting, "Chiaki-sama and Araya-san are currently at the twin gods Shrine in the 44th district. We got information that two Gillian type Menos are proceeding towards them. Should we send the team?"

Matriarch Hazuki Kasumioji replied, "No, you aren't saving them. Instead, don't let any Shinigami near that area and inform them Kasumioji family will take care of it.

Monitor that area but don't interfere in the battle. You only have to protect my daughter. If that low-class b*****d came out alive, then, kill him and the servant and bring her back. That low-class Shinigami sealed his fate the moment he dares to poison my eldest daughter's mind."

Her trusted servant, Tanji of Nukui family asked, "but, Minami-san is at least 3rd seat level and Araya-san is a lieutenant. It will be a loss for the family to lose both of them."

Hazuki folded her hands and spoke coldly, "a mere 3rd seat strength. Hmpf. I can make ten of her. Just go and just carry out my order, now. Use whatever means you deemed necessary. I don't wish to hear that you failed, understand?"

Tanji bowed and disappeared quickly to finish the task.

Meanwhile, at the 13th Division, Ukitake was naturally resting because of sickness while leaving everything to his subordinates. All of a sudden, inside of him, Mimikage mumbled, "hmm, this... I sense the lower limbs of the Soul King. They are here somewhere. I should absorb them and get ready for it."

An hour later, at 44th district, Ukitake stood at the place where Shrine used to be and was shocked to see a baby was crying nonstop while emitting a tremendous amount of reiatsu, amid corpses and the ruined temple along with the destruction of the surrounding area.

60 years later;

Shin'o Academy;

Shinoreijutsin (Spiritual Arts Academy), which was once officially known as the Shinigami Academy, is an institution founded by Yamamoto. Located in the Seireitei, the academy trains Souls with spiritual powers for each of the three military arms of Soul Society namely, the Gotei 13, the Kido Corps, and the Onmitsukido.

Two young men are walking together silently as the rest of the Shinigami apprentices gave their way with respect, although it was mostly fear towards the first person, who seemed like he doesn't care about it.

One of them is 6ft 2inch tall, handsome features but has a cold expression on his face while the other is wearing armor over his uniform and was at least 9ft 5inch tall and wide.

After they left the hallway and went towards the graduation testing grounds, the rest of them started murmuring, "is that demon finally graduating?" "Shh, slowly. What if he hears you." "I'm really lucky. I have 4 more years to spend here without any worries." "Honestly, I'm starting to worry about the Shinigami instead..." "I hope he gets trouble with Kenpachi" "Are you an idiot? Do you want to get trouble with the Kasumioji family?"

The Giant in armor spoke, "Shohei, it seems many were rejoicing the fact that you are graduating."

Shohei didn't reply anything and continue to walk silently...

As they reached the graduation testing grounds, they saw a lot of students who applied for graduation and were waiting there. A lot of them are starting at a stoic faced guy with long black hair from a distance and were praising him between themselves.

As soon as both of them arrived, he spoke while turning his head towards him, "Araya Shohei. You are here. I'm waiting for you for a whole year."

Shohei stared at him in silence for a long time and opened his mouth, "you..." As the entire field went into silence and everyone gulped feeling the tension, Shohei asked, "who are you?" while looking at him in confusion.

Upon hearing that, everyone almost coughed out blood while Shohei turned towards his friend and asked, "Sajin, who is this kid?"

Komamura Sajin replied slowly, "it's Kuchiki Byakuya."

Upon hearing it, Shohei didn't have much of a reaction and asked him without expression, "so, you are from Kuchiki family, huh? So, what's your deal?"

As the calm and collected Byakuya looked at Shohei with anger, Komamura explained to him slowly, "you beat him up last year for making a mistake during one of the trails. Did you forgot already?"

Hearing it, Shohei shrugged, "I beat up so many juniors and seniors who needed to be punished. Should I remember every clown? Just forget about him and let's mind our business."
