Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 53: Captain's Meeting part 3, Plans / Welcome to Hell

MINOR SPOILER WARNING FOR THE BLEACH: CAN'T FEAR YOUR OWN WORLD LIGHT NOVEL. Skip to the really large gap if you don't wanna be spoiled. I mean, there isn't that much to be spoiled with...but just do whatever you want I dunno how to phrase it. Things in italics below are spoilers and after the large gap isn't.

Read at your own discretion or whatever that means.

"And now we're here today, discussing this", Kyoraku concluded, closing his eye.

"Well, I guess I have no trouble with it as long as it was for a good reason", Iba crossed his arms, "And thanks for telling us"

"It was bound to happen eventually, considering the current circumstances", he sighed back.

Shinji spoke after what felt like ages, "And what are we supposed to do now about this Soul King bull crap? After all, the only known candidate we have is Ichigo, and obviously the things that happened with the Tokinada Tsunayashiro incident also rules out another candidate"

Hisagi turns to the captain of Squad 5, "You sure that you want to reveal that classified information?"

"I agree with Hisagi. You sure you wanna talk about that stuff when it's meant to be all hushed up all those years ago?", butted in Kensei.

"What're you two asking for? It's not like it's gonna affect anyone since I'm just giving them some more info. Geez, you two are so boring, uptight and so irritating", called out Shinji, leaving Hisagi and Kensei in a state of confusion and shock. Kensei tried to lunge at the blonde captain, calling him names while his lieutenant dragged him back to his spot in a hard struggle.

"Yeah, so like a few months after the war with the Quincies, Hisagi, me, and a bunch of others ran into a problem with one of the Four Noble Families, which was Tokinada Tsunayashiro. His apprentice, which was a little kid named Hikone, was apparently another person trying out for Soul King. Luckily it didn't work and that whole issue was solved"

"And Hikone now lives somewhere in the Rukongai, though I'm not going to reveal where it is", mumbled Hisagi, "And I doubt that she'll try to go for Soul King again. Both because she doesn't want to and I won't let her"

"Oh, so that's why you've been going there a bunch", quirked Matsumoto as she smirked, "What an honourable man my husband is, to protect someone~"

"H-Hey! You can't just compliment me mid-meeting, Rangiku!"

"Hehe, you flustered or something, Shuhei?"

A vein on Toshiro's forehead popped out, along with him gritting his teeth and clenching his fist as the two continued bantering.

"YOU TWO! This is a meeting! Discuss those things after the meeting or whenever we're not here!"

"Yes...Captain Hitsugaya", the married Shinigami murmured apologetically in sync.

Mayuri grunted loudly, "If you all are done, then I also have further information to deal with, though I'll have to be quick with it. Ginjo Kugo, who has been found in the Soul Society, is also a Soul King candidate somehow. Although, I also know that he doesn't want to or should be advised to become one"

"Well, that rules out three possible candidates to replace or fix the Soul King. I mean, we aren't heartless people to be kidnapping people and forcing them to go do something they haven't consented to, right?", Kyoraku poked a little fun as he tried to lighten up the tone. A little seriousness flickered in his eyes before he returned to a more mature tone, "Kurotsuchi, I wanted you to do some research and stabilize him, if you remember correctly. This may be needed for this situation. You'll find the entry easily"
