Reborn: Bleach Edition

1.1 Soul Society: The Entry & Rescue

^^Hajime's zanpakutos

100+ Year Time Skip

Hajime furrowed his brows as he suddenly sensed the new spiritual pressures appear in the Rukon district, West Rukon to be exact. Kuchiki Rukia was also just brought in and put in jail, recently. This let him have a little warning, knowing what was going to happen next.

It's been over 100 years since Hajime was born into this world. He found out at a young age that this was a new beginning for him in the world of Bleach. With the vague knowledge of what happens in the series, he does know that everything starts to go down hill at the end of this arc in season two.

Hajime's is pulled out of his thoughts when the alarms blare across the Seireitei.

"Attention, red alert. Red alert. Intruders detected in West Rukon. This is not a drill. Repeat, red alert. Breach detected in West Rukon."

The announcement echos as he feels the movements of shinigami racing around the Seireitei.

Hajime cocks his head to the front when he sense Shuhei shunpo into his office. Shuhei is already in the formal kneeling position, one leg propped up with one hand on it while the other leg is resting on the floor with his hand.

"Your orders, Captain Saito?" Shuhei doesn't look up only glancing at his stoic captain through his black hair.

"If the Ryoka make it past the gates then deploy our men and protect the Seireitei; that's our duty. However, knowing Squad 11, I'm sure they'll take care of some things for us. Send out a few search teams if needed, make sure they are carrying their zanpakutos."

"Yes, Captain." He shunpoed away to deliver the orders to the sqaud.

Left alone, Hajime finally released a sigh then mumbled, "I'm getting too old for this."

A flash of light in the sky followed by a large dust cloud alerted the fact that the Ryoka have arrived. His eyebrows furrow again when he finally sensed the group of six, including a certain person. Hajime is really tempted to go and watch. Behind the screen is very different than real life.

"The cat has arrived." He muttered.

A few moments later, crashes after crashes are heard each of them syncing with the mini earthquakes.

"A once-in-a-lifetime chance to see this scene in real life." Hajime says as he picks up his Captain's haori that's draped over his chair. He glances at the blue haori before deciding against it. Hajime swings it over his shoulder, putting his arms through before grabbing his zanpakuto and tying them at his sash. Leaving a brief note on his desk if anyone looked for him he turns to leave. As he shunpos away, the number 9 can be seems etched inside the black diamond of his haori.

Flashing on top of the gate gave Hajime a fresh view. On one side he could see his lieutenant and other Shinigami from his squad and others. He briefly noticed the presence of Squad 3's Lieutenant, Kira Izuru.
On the other side, Hajime was only a few meters higher than Jidanbo. He also noted the fact that the little cat was staring holes into his head as he observed.
Knowing the gauge outcome of the fight, Hajime decided to do what he was here for—to watch the show unfold.

Shuhei's neck craned back as he saw the top of the gates. He looked back down before quickly flickering his eyes back up. Was that someone on the wall, he asked himself. Straining his eyes he realized that was his captain on the wall. Sweatdropping at his captain, he excuses himself from the group before shunpoing up the wall and joint him.
"Captain," he breathes, "what are your doing here?"

"It seemed interesting," was Hajime's short reply.

Shuhei sighed and gave up, knowing he couldn't have stopped his captain. Deciding to join him, he stood next to his captain as they watched the event pan out.

Throughout the entire event, Hajime mused over the fact that the children did have talent. When Jidanbo was defeated, Hajime watched as he went to complete his part of the deal; he must open the gate. "Oh, my." Hajime comments as he feels the gate grumble in protest.

"Should we stop him, Captain?" Shuhei asks as he turns to look at Hajime. He was slightly concerned but when he saw his captain's face, he calmed.

"No need. We don't need to dirty our hands." Hajime comments as he sees Ichimaru stalking towards the slowly opening gate, like a hunter stalking his prey.

Jidanbo freezes after he opens the gate, finally catching sight of the Captain of Squad 3.

Ichimaru stands in front of his prey, "Ah, not good," he comments. Before Jidanbo could process it, Ichimaru had already drawn his zanpakuto and activated his shikai. A large gash appeared on Jidanbo's left arm as a result, suddenly spewing blood from the wound.

Jidanbo's injured arm fell to his side, making the gate drop to rest on his back and shoulders.

"Unacceptable," Ichimaru says as he watches his prey struggle. "Being a guardian of the gate doesn't mean you're supposed to open the gate," he lightly chastised.

"I defended the gate and lost. Once I lost, I had to open the gate," Jidanbo argued, "There was nothing else I could do."

"What you're saying makes no sense," Ichimaru walks towards towards his prey, "A gatekeeper who loses isn't supposed to open the gate." Ichimaru stops in front of his prey, "When a gatekeeper loses, it means death."

Hajime chuckled as he watched the hot-headed substitute Shinigami confront Ichimaru. Once Ichimaru was done with his little chat with the hot head, he started to walk back. No doubt preparing for his next attack, Hajime thought. Ichimaru turned around and released a surge of reiatsu.

"Shoot to kill, Shinso!" Ichimaru's zanpakuto stretches straight at the hot-head. The force of the blow knocking the hot-head back into Jidanbo who fall back into the Rukon district, effectively dropping the gate. "Bye, bye." Ichimaru waves as the gate lowers.

Hajime watched as both sides of the fight left. One side caring for the injured while the other smiled; he had ate his fill.

Suddenly, a hell butterfly flew to the two on the wall and gave its announcement. "The execution date has been moved up to less than fourteen days from now, the use of the Sokyoku has been approved and as a result, they are transferring her to the repentance cell."
