Chapter 2
-Orders-
Ichigo glared from where he stood with the other Taichos in the courtyard of the 1^st Division, wishing he could be somewhere else. He’d honestly hoped he’d never have to see that damned Tenchuu-Ren again, and the very fact that it was here meant that shit had really hit the fan.
“They really do like to make an entrance don’t they?” Shunsui chuckled next to Jushiro, who smiled back before laughing himself.
Ichigo stared blankly at the sight.
Seriously the world is about to go to Hell (literally), and these two are chatting like a pair of old ladies having tea.
He looked away as Shunsui snickered into his sleeve. The dust was starting to settle and the young Taicho didn’t bother stifling his groan. He really didn’t want to see these weirdoes again.
“I know how you feel man… You don’t think she’ll be there right?”
Renji had quietly made his way to stand next to Ichigo while they waited for the Tenchuu-Ren’s doors to open. They shared a horrified look and shivered at the reminder of the incident which they’d mutually sworn to never again mention. Ever.
“Damn it Renji! You just had to bring it up, didn’t you?” Ichigo growled but there wasn’t any real heat to his anger. He was too anxious.
Renji was about to retort when the doors opened; everyone stopped their idle conversations and braced themselves for the entrance of the Zero Division. However, the lone figure that emerged from the Tenchuu-Ren left the members of the Gotei 13 rather speechless.
Ichigo watched in confusion as a single Shinigami he had never seen before walked calmly towards the Soutaicho.
The man’s appearance was rather tame, at least compared to that of those from the Zero Division (which, to be fair, wasn’t saying much). The traditional Shinigami Shihakusho was missing. Instead, he was dressed in a modern suit, under a large tan trench coat, which concealed the rest of his form from view. As the new Shinigami drew closer, Ichigo noted that he was a bit shorter than himself, and had the appearance of a Westerner with short brown hair.
The stranger and Shunsui talked in hushed tones for a short time, while the other Taichos observed in tense silence. Finally, the two turned and made their way towards their waiting audience.
“I’d like to introduce you all to Castiel; he’s a Soutaicho for one of the garrisons of the Imperial Palace.” Shunsui patted the newly announced Soutaicho on the shoulder and guided him around as he introduced him to all the members of the Gotei 13.
“Ah and this is Kurosaki-Taicho; he heads the Eighth.” Ichigo raised a disbelieving eyebrow as Castiel-Soutaicho gave him a quick bow, something the thus far silent visitor had not done for anyone else.
“It is an honor to meet you Kurosaki-Taicho. Heaven has heard a great deal about you.”
Castiel’s voice was rather gruff, and it took Ichigo completely by surprise. It was also then that he noticed that he couldn’t sense any reiatsu coming from Castiel, which was rather unsettling. The only time he’d had a similar experience had been when Aizen’s power had been so far above anyone else’s that it had become unperceivable.
He was still trying to formulate a response when the man’s expressionless face, which painfully reminded Ichigo of Byakuya, turned to Shunsui and spoke again.
“Kyoraku-Soutaicho, time is pressing and I must go. You have your orders. I will impress upon you the importance of getting Kurosaki-Taicho ready for his assignment quickly. He must be at the appropriate coordinates in his Vessel within the hour.” Castiel-Soutaicho paused briefly before looking back to Ichigo. “I will contact you with any additional orders when they arise.” The Imperial Soutaicho gave Shunsui a brief nod and disappeared.
“What the hell was that?!” Ichigo choked out, as a cacophony of similar questions burst out around him.
That had to have been the fastest Shunpo he’d ever witnessed. He hadn’t sensed anything; it was like the man had just vanished.
“Now, now. Everyone calm down. We don’t have a lot of time to get ready. Kurotsutchi Taicho, Kurosaki-kun will need a gigai, as well as everything on this list. He has been assigned a mission to the Living World.” Shunsui handed Mayuri a thick folder who only sneered in response before marching away.
Ichigo groaned. I knew it, he thought bitterly.
“Everyone else will get their orders shortly. Kurosaki-kun please follow me.” Shunsui dipped his hat as a dismissal and made his way towards the Senkaimon with Ichigo following gravely.
“So, what am I getting roped into this time?” Ichigo asked while fingering Zangetsu’s hilt at his hip for reassurance.
“Your mission, it seems, comes from on high.” Shunsui said passively as he pointed a digit towards the sky. “You will be staying in the Living World for an undetermined amount of time to guard two Imperial Vessels, and to prevent as many Seals from being broken as you can manage.”
At Ichigo’s confused expression Shunsui explained in more detail. “It’s a bit complicated so I’ll do my best to keep it simple. What makes the Shinigami of the Imperial Realm so different is the fact that they are not part of the cycle. They were never souls which once resided in the Living World. The Soul King created them for the sole purpose of serving him in his realm. That is why it is such a rare occurrence for a Shinigami from the Soul Society to be promoted into the Zero Division.” Shunsui paused to make sure Ichigo understood.
“OK, I guessed that explains the trench coat guy, but what about that stuff with ‘Vessels’? He said I needed to be in one?” Ichigo added uncomfortably.
Shunsui chuckled lightly. “What he meant was a gigai. The Imperials don’t come down here very often so they are a bit… Well, you’ll see what I mean since Castiel-Soutaicho will be your commanding officer for this mission.”
Shunsui ignored Ichigo’s sputtering and continued. “Imperials don’t need gigais. They actually have mortal bodies in the Living World. All they have to do is gain permission from the soul residing in the body so that they may gain access and control over it.”
“Like possession?” Ichigo asked in surprise.
“Oh no, I recommend you never infer something like that in front of an Imperial. Demons possess mortals. It’s thought an honor to accept an Imperial, or Angel as they prefer, to share your mortal shell.”
“Demons are real?!” Ichigo choked out. “As if Hollows weren’t bad enough, damn it! What else?”
“I’m glad you’re taking this so well Ichigo. You see, the Vessels you will be guarding are actually also known as Hunters; they hunt and kill demons and other supernatural evils. I think this pair, brothers by the way, have actually managed to purify a few Hollows.” Shunsui face took on solemn look. “What I’m about to tell you is considered classified. You must not reveal this knowledge to anyone, understood?”
At Ichigo’s nod Shunsui began again. “The Winchester brothers have made a similar sort of uproar in Soul Society and the Imperial Realm as you did Ichigo.”
Ichigo frowned not sure if he had just been insulted, not to mention he was actually curious with just what sort of people he’d just been assigned to guard.
“They have led hard lives and sacrificed much for the sake of doing good and revenge as well. Over a year ago the youngest, Samuel, died in battle. Dean, incapable of living with the death of the brother he had raised made a Demon deal. He sold his soul for his brother’s life. Dean was given one year of life with his brother before the Hell Hounds came to rip Dean’s soul from his body and drag it to Hell.”
A tight knot formed in Ichigo’s stomach in sympathy for the man, Dean. The kind of desperation it would take to sell your soul to the very things you hunted must have been extreme.
“That was a few months ago. But since time passes differently in Hell, his soul suffered there for decades. When his spirit broke, so did the first seal.” Shunsui’s voice was obviously mournful. “Dean is a Vessel, and so is Samuel. Whose vessels exactly? I have not been told. It has been decided that Dean is too valuable to remain in Hell, which is what Castiel and his garrison are taking care of at this moment.”
“Are you telling me these Imperial Shinigami or Angels or whatever and Demons can bring back the dead?” Ichigo cut in. The Senkaimon was now in sight and Ichigo felt truly unprepared for the task set for him.
“Yes, though it is incredibly rare. Now you don’t have much time left. You will be exiting the Senkaimon at Winchester Dean’s burial site, from which his body will rise. He will no doubt be suspicious of you and will wish to test you to ensure you can be trusted. You are permitted to tell him who and what you are. You are also permitted to tell him that he was raised from Hell to complete his destiny.” At Ichigo’s raised eyebrows Shunsui chuckled. “Yes I know how it sounds but…” He shrugged.
“Ya, ya, orders. I get it.” Ichigo grumbled. He had no idea how he was supposed to pull this off and he had a feeling this Winchester guy wouldn’t be thrilled with the situation either.
“You must help him find his brother and protect them both. I’ve been told by Castiel that he will reveal himself to you and the Winchesters when the time is right.” They had just reached the Senkaimon where Akon was waiting for them. He had Ichigo’s gigai thrown over his shoulder and a backpack at his feet.
Ichigo exchanged a quick nod in greeting with Akon as he was handed his gigai and the backpack. “Just a few supplies; the instructions are inside.”
“So I’m not getting sealed up?” Ichigo asked curiously.
“No, your control has gotten much better, and we cannot afford the risk should you not be able to reach us quickly enough. We don’t know exactly what kind of opponents you will face nor have you faced these sort of creatures in the past.” Shunsui smiled despite the serious nature of the matter. He waved at Ichigo to proceed and added quickly. “Don’t worry about the 8^th, Lisa will manage fine. Oh yes, I hope your English is good since you’ll be in America. Keep in touch!”
“What!” Ichigo shouted out as the doors of the Senkaimon slid shut and groaned deeply before following the Jigokucho through the Dangai.
