"Hoh. I am here again to my greatest displeasure."
Somewhere on the roof of a high building in Karakura Town, a man wearing a white cloak over a black Kimono walked out of the Senkaimon.
'How filthy.'
Sniffing derisively because of the lack of spiritual energy in the air, Tokinada took a look at the city before walking towards a clear destination.
'Let's see if the fruit that I have planted is ready."
He hummed as he continued to walk in the air.
"Something is wrong."
When he finally reached the place he was targeting, he couldn't help but scowl because of the absence of all living in the basement.
'Did she already leave?'
Tokinada put a finger against his temple as he thought hard about it.
He remembered clearly having spotted the existence of a extremely talented Fullbringer in this house when he sneaked in the human world a few days ago.
At that time, he had killed a man prying too much into the information about the Substitute Shinigami. Just to be sure, he had visited the man's house in order to erase everything and what was his surprise when he discovered that young girl.
For him who had made so much research on Fullbringers, he knew then and there that she was at a totally different level from the rabbles that he usually found.
The best thing was that it seemed she had yet to have linked with a Fullbring. She was basically a huge source of untapped potential begging to be used.
Having her on his side would have been perfect. So he decided to leave her alone so that she could become as miserable as possible before appearing and saving her like a knight in shining armor.
'Did she leave by herself?'
"Oh my! Who do we have here?"
Tokinada's expression did not change as he turned to take a look at the new intruder. It was a blonde young man wearing a shirt and brown pants as well as a french hat that hid most of his expression except his large grin.
The said man was floating upside down as if it was the most natural thing in the world and perhaps for him, it was.
"Shinji Hirako, ex-captain of the 5th division."
"Oh? From your attire, It seems that you are the current Captain of the 5th. What a pleasant surprise it is. Don't you think?"
"You think so? Hahaha, but I do not. After all, being associated with monsters that need to be put down is quite unappealing, you see?"
"Heh, is that so?"
If Hirako was hurt by those words, he showed no sign of it. It has been nearly a hundred years since what happened to him and now he was quite satisfied with his life. Even more so since Gojo took down Aizen and showed the truth to the Soul Society.
Taking a normal position, he gently landed on the ground and looked around the house. He knew that Gojo had been here not long ago since he had felt Senna's Reiatsu from where he was.
There was no way that overprotective father would have left her alone even though the girl was already quite powerful. But then, why was that bastard present here? There was no residue left of Gojo and Senna's Reiatsu. This would mean that he had come here with a goal in mind.
"So, mind telling me why you are here? Tokinada Tsunayashiro."
Inwardly, Shinji Hirako was grumbling like no tomorrow.
Although Hirako had escaped to the Human World mid-career, he joined as a member of the current Gotei 13 as a relative old-timer.
It was precisely for this reason, that Hirako firmly understood the absoluteness of the four great noble houses, he was fully aware that they were neither completely good-humored like Yoruichi nor were they all the type who would devote themselves to duty with an unwavering loyalty like Byakuya Kuchiki.
The Tsunayashiro clan, in particular, existed as if they had condensed all the negative aspects of nobility in Seireitei.
Shinji felt that he didn't want to get involved with them at all if possible, before all of that, he had heard that the Tsunayashiro clan had used the incident surrounding the murders of their comrades several years ago, as an opportunity to establish a distance between themselves and the Gotei 13.
'Not good, I smell nothing but trouble.'
Having said that, he couldn't well give a wave of his hand and ignore the man in front of him. Shinji continued to chat in a friendly manner in order to extract further details.
Tokinada gave a snake-like smile, "Since when does a captain of the Gotei 13 has to inform mere monsters about what he does?" Then, looking down on him as if he was nothing more than trash, "Know your place."
In those words, Tokinada simply used a Shunpo and left the place. He knew about Shinji's Shikai and Bankai and while they were powerful, the fact that Shinji couldn't use his Bankai in a one vs one situation made it worthless.
He knew very well that the day his ambitions were exposed, they wouldn't send an army of weaklings at him, but rather one single powerful being.
'Well, even though I lost the fullbringer Kid, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that I have fun until the very end.'
Since the history of Soul Society had proven that malice was justified, he wished to enact malice against the world until the very end.
it wasn't about enacting a necessary evil, but rather, laughing away at this world through a completely unnecessary evil!
'Hahaha! Everything is so fun!'
—--
"Hum…So the Central 46 is trying something again?"
After Tokinada vanished, Shinji immediately went to meet Kisuke. The man was the best when it came to shady characters like Tokinada.
Currently, they were in the underground basement below Kisuke's shop. Though calling it a basement was an insult. With the artificial sky on the ceiling and the impression of boundlessness, one would think they were outside if they didn't pay attention.
While speaking to him, Kisuke was working on creating a gate to Hueco Mundo. He could have left this to Gojo, but Kisuke liked doing little things like this. It helped him spend time and relax from more complicated problems.
Of course, if scientists in Soul Society were to learn that opening a transdimensional portal was nothing more than a way to waste time for Kisuke, they would once again realize how unfair the world truly was.
Shinji did not bother commenting on the ridiculousness of that statement for he was already used to such from Kisuke.
"Well, Satoru should already be aware of his appearance the moment Tokinada appeared. Since he didn't take action it means that there is nothing to worry about."
Shinji accepted Kisuke's words. Satoru Gojo's senses could easily cover the entire city and inspect every nook and cranny. Of course, it wasn't as if the man was omniscient but he should have easily felt a disturbance in the dimension wall.
Scratching his head, Shinji sauntered before sitting next to Kisuke, "So, why did you refuse the proposal of Gotei 13?"
Kisuke grinned, "So you already received one."
"Yep. I was pretty surprised. But you still didn't answer my question."
Kisuke simply shrugged, "I had no reason to. I was never really attached to my role of captain and in fact, I felt that it was stifling me more than anything. What about you?"
Shinji looked up at the fake sky and thought for a while, "You see…When we were at our lowest, only you guys helped us. But the Gotei 13? The Soul Society as a whole? Nothing. It didn't matter how much we contributed nor how long we fought for them. The moment we became a liability, we were ruthlessly discarded and would have died if not for Yoruichi's help. It would be a lie to say that we aren't bitter."
Shinji showed a bitter smile, "When we received the demand to come back and receive our rank again, I was honestly elated. All our glory would come back. We wouldn't have to hide like rats anymore.
But then, I had a doubt. Is this really what I want? If they discarded us once already, what stops them from doing so a second time? The others had the same doubts and then we decided to ask Gojo what he thought, after all, it was thanks to him we got back our honor. Do you know what he said?"
This time Shinji laughed, "Do whatever you want, he said. If you want to become captains again, do it. If you don't want to, don't. Either way, I got your back and if anyone bothers you, then I will beat them up for you guys. So nothing to worry about. After all–I am the strongest."
"Pfft! Hahaha. Indeed. I can totally imagine Satoru saying that."
The two of them laughed for a while before calming down, "We don't want to be betrayed again. Once bitten, twice shy. Rather than going back to the Gotei 13 like tamed dogs, we decided to join him. At the very least, this will prove to be far more interesting. Don't you think so?"
Kisuke's lips curled upward, "Indeed. You won't have the time to get bored."
Kisuke knew that he wouldn't get bored any time soon.
'This will be fun.'

"The good news is that, while a little malnourished, she shows no sign of abuse."
Standing up in front of a ward, Unohana spoke to Gojo while looking at the soundly sleeping girl.
Even though the girl should have been about twelve years old, at first glance one would think that she was only 10 or even lower.
Still, that was all there was to it. She had no wounds nor signs of sexual abuse. Whoever imprisoned her there at least didn't want to hurt her.
"She wasn't mentally abused either which is also a relief. But because of her circumstances, her emotional development has been severely affected."
Unohana continued her diagnosis. The girl that Gojo had brought was a very interesting case. Physically speaking, the girl seemed to be just a normal human. But of course, that wasn't the case.
"She survived one entire week without any water nor food. If not for the fact that she was a fullbringer, she would have died."
Unohana muttered to herself, Fullbringer was an interesting type.
In the human world, there existed three types of humans with special abilities.
The first one were High-Spec humans. Those humans generally had nothing particularly special about them aside from the fact that they could see hollows. Some of them could become a little stronger than normal but that was generally as far as it went.
The second type were Quincys. Humans who for some reason had the power to erase Hollows and Shinigami to nothingness and control Reishi.
In Unohana's opinion, rather than saying that Quincys were humans with special power, it would be more accurate to say that Quincys were a race of beings with a genetic makeup nearly identical to that of humans.
For her, Quincys were to humans, what humans were to monkeys. A form of evolution.
Finally, the last type were Fullbringers who for all intent and purpose were humans but who, for some reason, had the Reiatsu of hollows in them. Unohana never really researched their kinds because there were simply too few of them.
"To get a better understanding of Fullbringers, I guess Kisuke or Mayuri are the ones to ask."
Gojo agreed. One of the reasons he was so interested in Fullbringers was because of the power they had to manipulate 'souls' and through it, control physical matter.
Out of the four special races, the two spiritual races, Shinigami and Hollows, used their power by directly manipulating the energy inside them.
Meanwhile, the two physical races, Quincy and Fullbringers, used their power to manipulate the world around them.
And at the center of all of this were humans who could become either of the four.
This world was really fascinating.
'I wonder what race the Soul King is.'
Gojo thought about this before shrugging. If he had stayed and become a captain he could have visited the Soul King Palace once he joined division 0. But things were what they were.
He was sure that he could enter the Palace all by himself but by using the Canon of the Shiba family for example, no matter how strong he was currently, Gojo didn't feel like fighting against those Royal Guards for no reason.
At least now wasn't the time for it.
"Well, let's focus on the girl. Now that I have taken her in, I will go all out. Nemu–"
" —I have already checked. Aura Michibane. The name Michibane comes from the side of the mother. She died in childbirth. From here on, there are no particular records about Aura. No school. No hospital. Nothing. It's clear that she has been imprisoned her entire life. The relatives on the mother's side are still alive."
Nemu took another file and continued,
"No particular information about the father aside from the fact that he worked in the underworld. I believe that he is a Fullbringer. But there is no definitive proof. His body was found in another city. There are no wounds on him nor any signs of poisoning or trauma. Cause of death: unknown."
'Hum…'
"Did you inspect the body?"
"Yes. From the residual energy around it, I believe what he received was a fatal wound to the Soul."
"Was he killed by Shinigami? How intriguing…"
"Should we ask the girl if she knows anything?" Unohana proposed calmly but Gojo shook his head in denial.
"Let's give her some time first. She needs to rest and understand that we wish her no harm."
Unohana smiled at the obvious care Gojo was showing.
"It seems like you really have a thing for taking in strays. Is it a habit from when you were alive?"
"I guess so?" All Gojo could do was give a bitter smile. After all, it wasn't wrong. He always ended up taking in people with special circumstances and cared for them in his own way.
"Well, in her case, there isn't much we can do. If she wishes to go back to her family, we will send her back."
"You think a girl so young with basically no knowledge of the world can take such an important decision alone?"
"It doesn't really matter. We can't keep her against her will after all. Furthermore–"
Taking the file about the maternal family of Aura, "Her family seems to be composed of good, normal folk."
"The problem is…She isn't normal. While it's still dormant, I feel a ridiculous amount of Reiryoku in her. So much that I wouldn't be surprised if it surpassed that of an average captain. She is only 12."
It was clear that Aura was destined to become a powerhouse of the likes never seen before. At least this was what would happen if she didn't get killed first.
"A girl like her is a delicacy amongst delicacies for Hollows. Send her to a normal family? *scoff* Might as well sentence her and her entire family to death. I shouldn't need to tell you all that."
"Well…Let's deal with one thing at a time."
He pinched his eyebrows and waved his hand in order to change topics. He didn't want to dismiss Unohana like this, but the case was hard enough. He knew logically that the best for Aura was to stay with them but one shouldn't try to rationalize the feelings of a young child.
"Either way, this isn't black or white. If she chooses to live a normal life, I could simply seal all her power or protect her with different seals. There is always a solution."
Nodding to himself, he suddenly thought about something,
"Where are Senna and that Quincy girl?"
Gojo generally avoided spreading his sense too widely when it wasn't necessary. Senna wasn't a little girl anymore after all. It would be quite awkward if he saw things he shouldn't.
"They are in the garden. Masaki seems to be awed by the different flowers."
"Fufufu~! This girl has good taste."
Unohana laughed. She was the one who took care of the garden so she was quite happy to have it praised.
"Well, let's meet them then. It seems like little Masaki wants to enter the Gojo family in a different way. Hahaha."
Watching a blooming pink spring was truly interesting.
