A Sacrifice Never Forgotten [Group.R./Closed Shunko]

“This bed is so comfortable”, Shunko said waking up inside a bed store. The store was dark and smelled like dead rats. Shunko didn’t know what the time was but he knew it was early, so he decided to set off for a nice morning stroll. After 2 minutes of being awake he noticed a faint spiritual pressure heading towards the park. After the morning stores opened up inside the mall he headed out of the bed store and down the stairs with his Blade in his right hand, resting on his shoulder. At the bottom of the steps he saw a Shinigami enjoying the scenery, Shunko could tell, he was looking all over the place. As the Shinigami walked down the road, Shunko remembered the Spiritual pressure from before, but was this the shinigami’s or someone else’s Shunko wondered. At this point he knew that the spiritual pressure from before was not moving, but the Shinigami’s was.

As Shunko exited the Daikoku Super Mall the Shinigami was in the graveyard down the road, so naturally Shunko walked into the Baku Park and climbed a tree to watch from afar. He then realised that the Shinigami was talking to a Child, but Shunko had no interest in hurting the child, but the Shinigami himself. He had questions, like who are you, what are you doing here, who was that boy, but Shunko’s curiosity was not very big. All Shunko wanted was to spar with this Shinigami to have fun, maybe he would, maybe Shunko would be beaten up, but Shunko always had an escape plan.

“So how long do you plan on watching me for?” said the Shinigami, Shunko was surprised that he was sensed at this distance, but it would make things more interesting. “Not long Shinigami, I wouldn’t mind a fight, I always wanted to fight a Shinigami.” Shunko said as he jumped down from the tree and approached the graveyard. As Shunko walked towards the graveyard, he passed the boy that the Shinigami was talking to and realised that the boy was were the spiritual pressure was coming from. The boy tried to turn to see Shunko more clearly, but only saw nothing. “It looks like he sensed me, huh.” Shunko said walking towards the Shinigami. As Shunko walked through the gate of the cemetery, he smiled. “No one can elude death forever, keep that in mind.” Shunko said as he sat himself in a comfortable position on top of someone’s grave.

Reikon than turned and faced the estranged being that had been watching him from the distance. Facing the new face he could now see clearly what was standing before him... an Arrancar. He stood about 5'7'' and was a thin build if that, with white hair and blue eyes. Reikon had never really met an Arrancar personally but he knew what they looked like. He than looked up at the sky and noticed how the birds were making their way across the open sky. "This is such a drag, i never really intended in coming here in search of a fight to be honest with you... and that kid is none of your concern Arrancar.", he replied in a dry tone of voice.

"And i'm not accustomed to be addressing someone who's name i don't know, nor do i really bother fighting complete strangers without a reason... if you know what i mean." he said as wind blew the hair that sheltered his right eye to the side, revealing the scar which rested over his eye. His eyes began to glow in the sunlight like a radiant prism reflecting purple with an outer glow of red. "Any ways what is your name Arrancar, I shall introduce myself in respect as well... I am Reikon Ansatsu, 4th seat of the 1st Division.", he announced with a polite introduction following a slight bow.

"If i may ask, why is it that you want to fight me exactly... do you plan on trying to kill me or are you just merely testing me?", he asked in a questionable manner. He than cocked his neck as it began to crack, releasing the tension it held from the stress he had now accumulated. Looking at his opponent he simply smiled and stated in a mellow and calm voice, "Who needs to elude death when they're already dead... anyways i sacrificed myself a long time ago in order to save that woman an child whom you saw me watching over... that grave there is my grave to be exact." He followed, pointing at the large gravestone which bore the statue of a guardian angel on its head. "I don't really fancy death, but its worth sacrificing one's self in order to protect the lives of others... that can be held forever as the saying goes Live and Let Live.", Reikon stated with a wise tone. "I apologize, please forgive my lecture... what was it that you wanted again?", asked Reikon clearing his mind of the past topic.

“Well I can agree with the statement live and let live,” Shunko said while looking at Reikon, he then turned his head towards the park and said.”But sacrificing one’s self for a child and his mother is admirable, but did you stop to think how your sacrifice leads them into a cycle of depression”. Shunko stood there staring at an old couple feeding ducks in the park.

“did you consider your family when you ran to sacrifice yourself for two others, do you think your life was worth the depression it brought back to your family, the child and the lady”. Shunko said in a staggered voice. “How about your life, did you enjoy it while it lasted, or did you detest it, what about friends, do you remember if you had any?” asked Shunko as he turned to face Reikon. “Well anyways to answer your questions, my name is Shunko Suzymia.” Shunko said in a rough tone of voice. “And to answer the other question, how can I test you when I have no intent to kill at the moment, I just wanted to observe the scene and see how the child reacted with you” Shunko said smiling at Reikon.

The wind began to blow in a hollow breeze, its sound almost rung out like a saddening cry of depression. Reikon looked up at the sky and put his right hand to his heart as he saw the glimmer that sun created as it lined the sky in light. His face than held the sign of sadness to the words that the arrancar, Shunko Suzymia had brought to his attention. The words that he had always tried to set aside more than anything else he bore in his life. Before he had died that day his life was something his was quite honored to have, he was more than happy and proud to have the friends and family he had while he was still alive.

-------------------FLASHBACK---------------------

It was about mid day on a Friday in Karakura Town, the weather was wonderful as people were outside doing their daily activities. Some were out to lunch with friends or family, others were out playing ball or talking about the new latest video game that had just hit the store shelves. Reikon had just got done washing the dishes for his father while he was away at work and his younger brother and sister were both still at school most likely have lunch with their friends at this time. Drying the dishes and putting them away he of course was in deep thought, thinking of how happy he was having such a great family. When he finished putting away the dishes he headed up stairs to his bedroom and took of his shoes as he say on his bed.

His room was full of posters, mostly fantasy posters that had dragons and elves amongst their surfaces or his favorite anime and manga characters on other posters. His favorite rapper was also another figure he had on the wall of course, Eminem. A lot of people liked to criticize him for liking the violent American rap artist but they didn't understand him like Reikon did. He enjoyed his lyrics because they were like poetry in a way, releasing violent topics off into a talented hobby like music rather than actually performing the acts of violence. His warm was quite fitting to how Reikon was personality wise. Their were a lot of medieval figures as well as ninja/Japanese sculptures on his shelves. He enjoyed fantasy and history since it was always interesting to him, it was like jumping into another picture and reliving it.

He had taken many different fighting classes as well as defense classes, ranging from martial arts like Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Muay Thai, and boxing, kickboxing, as well as wrestling. His father always told him to become strong and protect others who were less fortunate and fragile and to also protect his younger siblings while he wasn't around. Reikon was never the type that like to fight rather than protect... he was a protector. Like a dragon who knew his own strength and power but instead of using it for greed and violence it protected those whom it cared for and loved, a guardian.

He than fell back onto his back in deep thought as he dosed off. While he slept he had the strangest dream, it was a dream that always seemed to pop up when something bad was going to occur. Almost like a warning sign or the bat signal for the comic book super hero Batman. It was a beautiful woman with long silver hair that went down to her knees. She stood very tall, about 6 feet in height and she had full black angelic wings. Reikon could never see her face and she spoke but he could never hear her words. It was so realistic but than again it was just a dream, it did how ever always happen when something bad would occur so Reikon would always be more alert and cautious for things that may happen. He than woke up and looked at the clock... "Shit its already 6pm, I'm going to miss meeting up my friends at the movies!!!", he said as he quickly jumped up and got dressed. He slid down the rail of the stairs and landed at the bottom.

His younger brother and sister were both sitting down watching cartoons together, he could see by the few dishes in the sink that they had just recently ate. "HIYA Oniichan!!!", yelled his little sister while jumping off the couch to run over and hug him. "Haha, how are you doing sis... how was school today?", he asked with a huge smile on his face as he hugged his little sister lifting her in the air. "It was great, we made cookies with the teacher and i got to help!", she said happily. "Oh really, i bet they were the best since you helped make them.", he said smiling and putting her on the couch next to her little brother. "Hey little bro, how about you... how was school?", he asked while throwing a pillow at him jokingly. "It was good, i got an A+ on my history test ever since you helped me study the other day.", he said smiling to his older brother. "Oh really, well that's great... I bet dad will be thrilled about that; you should put it on the fridge as a surprise for when he gets home from work.", he said giving his little brother a thumbs up. "Good idea Aniki!", said his little brother as he ran to get his test and post it on the fridge.

Reikon than looked at his watch and noticed the time, it was now 6:24 pm. "Damn i gotta get going before I'm late!", he said as he quickly grabbed his wallet off the counter and went and opened the door. "See ya sis and tell your little bro i said bye as well, Love you both.", he said as he closed the door and quickly ran off to catch his friends at the movies. They had finally got done with the newest action movie and were heading home now.
As they were walking they were talking about the crazy sword fights that the hero had with the villains.

They were coming up to the street where they were about to split up and head home since they lived in separate directions. When all of a sudden Reikon could hear the sound screaming and when he looked up he could see the flames and smoke that were kicking out from the side of a building that was around the corner. Reikon immediately told his friends to stay back and call 911 as he rushed in to help get the people screaming within the fiery wreckage of a car accident that had hit the wall of a store building.

Reikon quickly put his jacket over his head as he rushed into the fiery scene. He went to pull the people out of the car when he saw that it was a woman and her young child that were trapped inside the wreckage. Reikon being a strong guy, pulled the door open using force and quickly reached his hand out to the woman and her child. They grabbed his hand quickly as he pulled them from the car that was now in complete flames. He led them through the buildings front out to safety when the ceiling had collapsed trapping Reikon inside the inferno.... the car had than exploded killing him instantly.

----------------FLASHBACK ENDS-----------------


A tear ran down Reikon's cheek as he than looked down at the Arrancar who had mentioned these questions. "You're quite correct that I have probably created a cycle of depression, but i have also created a cycle of happiness as well due to my sacrifice.", he said as he than continued. "That woman and child are now alive and healthy, and I'm quite sure that my family is well taken care of since i have a strong father whom taught me what i know to this day... as i taught my younger siblings.", he said as he wiped the tear from his eye. "My family is strong like me, and I'm sure they're proud that i died a selfless death to protect others, rather than die a death of selfish death... people remember me for the good I've done and I hope that i have set a good example on the people of this town." he said proudly. He than smiled as he looked at the Arrancar whom reopened his eyes to the questions he once tried to forget. "And to answer your last question, I was very happy with my life before I died.... and i'm also quite happy the way i went out in death; it was worth something to others.", he than continued. "Now I'm a Soul Reaper and can do what I've always done best even in death, be a Guardian and protect people.", he said smiling at Shunko as a glimmer of honor glinted in his eyes. "After all it is a Sacrifice Never Forgotten....", he said as his words were carried in the wind, like an angel had lifted them away in offering to the gods themselves.

Shunko stood there watching Reikon stare into space. The air was warm and windy as Shunko waited for Reikon to talk or even acknowledge his existence. Shunko though if this guy is going to stare into space he may as well take a nap. Shunko fell asleep on a gravestone while waiting for Reikon to snap out of it.

...........Dream Time[/u][/i][/size][/color]

“Shunko” a voice bellowed from nowhere. “Time for a nice hot meal” bellowed the voice again; Shunko awoke from his slumber on top of a pile of gravestones. Even for Shunko this was freaky, as he got up the darkness that enshrouded him lifted, and he was in a house just like his old one in his human life. “What the fuck” Shunko thought to himself as he stepped out of the wooden door, on the other side was darkness. As Shunko turned around, the pile of gravestones were gone and replaced with a queen sized bed and wardrobe. Shunko looked down at his attire, he was wearing an old outfit, and it was white and black, like a pirate suit. As Shunko turned to look at the darkness he saw a hollow, staring at him, growling and drooling everywhere. Shunko went to draw his sword, but it was not in his hand. The hollow lunged forward and ate Shunko.
Shunko woke again on a pillow this time, he turned his head to see the back of his wife’s head he turned her to see she had Shinigami robes on and a Zanpakutou in her robe. Shunko turned away from her and wanted to get back to sleep. Shunko thought, for a bit and realised that this was a dream. Shunko immediately jumped out of bed and found he was falling down into darkness.

...........wake up Jeff[/i][/b]...

“After all it is a sacrifice never forgotten” Reikon said, and then he noticed that Shunko was asleep on the gravestone, slumming over it with his spine in an awkward position. “FUCKING WAKE UP ARRANCAR,” Yelled Reikon. Shunko woke up as Reikon started to yell, Shunko rubbed his eyes to see Reikon standing there crying for some reason. “Hit a nerve there did I?” Shunko asked as he was starting to yawn. Shunko stood up and cracked his body, his back and finger especially. “What a fucked up dream I had” Shunko said out aloud. “Anyway i don’t know if you know it yet... but your crying” Shunko pointed out to Reikon.

Reikon noticed the Arrancar had just woken up as he yelled at the sleeping Shunko. "Yeah... No shit it was a tear since i was just remembering a touchy subject of my past, maybe if you wouldn't have dosed off and payed attention to what i said you would have known the reason!", yelled Reikon quite irritated that this Arrancar was being so rude. "And no there was no nerve to be hit, I was just taken aback that someone would just dose off in the middle of being spoken to.", he explained while turning away. He began to walk away as he said, "I don't really have the time or the patience to deal with such nonsense really, I have places to be and people to check up on now that I've refreshed my memory." "It was nice meeting you and all Shunko Suzymia, but I'm not really here to pick a fight nor do I want to.", he said as he waved goodbye while walking away.

He than made his way down the streets he once knew well and walked to and from school and work from daily. He passed by the movie theater he had gone to the day he had died, with his friends to see that great action movie. He than continued on and passed a delightful bakery that had all types of breads, pies, cakes, and other sweets in its windows. You could smell the wonderful warm aroma of sweet and delicious baked goods that wafted from out the door. As he continued on he could tell that he was being followed but really didn't care much since he didn't find the person threatening at all.

As he made his way down a wide road aligned with large and beautiful houses he came to one in particular that stood out in his mind from all the rest. That was because this was the place he had lived and grown up in, he looked into the windows to see if anyone was home and sure enough there was. He could see his little brother and sister now about a few years older now watching television as they always did in the afternoon when they came home from school. It was like a daily thing for the two really, they always enjoyed catching their favorite anime and cartoons after their long day at school. Seeing this brought a smile to his face, he hadn't seen them in what seemed like ages.

He could see his sister wearing the necklace he bought for her 8th birthday, it was a beautiful butterfly made of platinum with a single garnet and was carried by a chain of platinum as well. His brother was also wearing the t-shirt he had bought him at the mall when they were out together during the festival season. Seeing this made him happy, they were happy and continued their lives but never forgot their older brother. This was what he hoped for the most, he wanted his siblings to always be happy and not be trapped in sorrow due to the loss of their older brother. It still made him sad though, he never really got to spend the time he wanted with his younger siblings before leaving this world.

As he looked in the window he could see a new test that was obviously posted on the fridge, it had an A+ on it. He was happy to see that his brother was doing well with his grades even without the help of his brother. Just than his little sister looked up at him almost as if she saw him, she smiled and continued watching television with her brother. "I doubt she saw me, she must have been remembering something and it must have been a happy thought that caught her attention... she was always like me when it came to being in thought.", he said in response to the sudden notice of his sister looking in his direction. It was like his presence brought happiness to the home, because his siblings seemed happier. Almost as if he had just came home from work and greeted them like he always did.

"So how long do you insist on following me and spectating my every movement....Arrancar?", he asked almost as if speaking to the wind itself.
It seemed as if no one else was there, but Reikon was full aware that their was another spectating from the distance. He than sat down on the wall that surrounded his house and pulled out a metal capsule. He than removed a small cup from its top and began to pour himself a cup of hot tea mixed with sake. He than lowered his face mask below his chin so that he could sip his beverage peacefully. The aroma that it had was quite delightful and almost warmed his soul as he sipped it.

“Well to put it bluntly, I think you’re an interesting Shinigami, growing up in an area, and then sacrificing your own life in order to save another two people, and now to only realise that what i said, brings back some memories, and then you walk to a certain house where you look in the window at some kids watching TV, now that’s more interesting that watching some old people feed some flying rats I think.” Said Shunko as he laid on a fence across the street.

“Or is it that you haven’t seen all of your family?” Shunko asked Reikon. Shunko stood up and jumped off the fence. “Anyway I need to ask you something about myself” Shunko asked. “Do you know anyone by the name of Sarah Suzymia?” Asked Shunko. “See when i was asleep back there, I saw my wife in my dream, and she was dressed in a Shinigami uniform.

“It seems you have made a strange new friend there Reikon” said a voice from behind the fence. Shunko didn’t notice the Spiritual pressure there, and it was so close. Shunko was ready on his guard, prepared for whatever strong spiritual being was behind the fence.

Reikon replied to Shunko's comment in a quite dry tone, "You find me interesting yet you don't really know me, and this house was once where i lived when i was alive... those two children there are my two younger siblings Mai and Mitsukai." He than sipped his tea once again as he looked at Shunko before replying to his first question. "I came here because i wanted to check up on my family whom I finally obtained my memory of once again, and yes being a Shinigami like myself can block your past memory to when you were once alive... especially if you died the way I did.", he replied in a polite but irritated tone.

He than thought to himself to the mention of the name that Shunko had brought up.... Sarah Suzymia. Thinking of whom he may know by that name he sips at his tea again and begins to look up at the sky once more. "Ah yes, Sarah Suzymia... short girl, brown hair, blue eyes, and good at chess?", he quickly confirmed. "Yeah i know her, i play chess with her every now and again... never knew she was your wife.", answered in a puzzled manner. He than put his tea away after finishing it and packed it away in his pack. Sitting on the wall he was startled by a familiar but unexpected voice that spoke to him from behind the wall.

“It seems you have made a strange new friend there Reikon” said a voice from behind the wall. He than turned around to see whom the owner of this voice was and he was shocked at what he saw. It was his father Dante Ansatsu who was the man behind the wall. "Dad?!?! Is that really you.... how can you see me?", asked Reikon oblivious to as to how his father knew he was there. His father looked up at him and smiled like he hadn't seen his son in years and they were finally reunited. "Reikon, there are a lot of things that you still don't know about me.", his father replied with a smile to Reikon's question.

Reikon was stricken with surprise when his father admitted there were things that he didn't know about him, he wondered what they could be.
"You see, the reason i can see you is because i'm also a Shinigami.", he said as he left his Gigai. He was in a black Shinigami uniform and his Zanpakuto hung from its belt on his left side. The uniform also had a white band around its right shoulder which symbolized that he was once a Captain. Dante Ansatsu was once the Captain of the 6th Division before he left Soul Society due to being exiled to the world of the living.

His father could see the look of shock and surprise as he showed him his Shinigami self. "Yep son that's right, your old man was once a Captain of the 6th Division in Soul Society before i was exiled.", he said in a proud manner towards his son. Reikon finally now more serious asked his father,"But how come you never told me before dad, and why were you exiled?" There was a long pause before his father answered that question, almost like a moment of silence. "Well you see son, I didn't feel the need to tell you about my former days as an active Shinigami because i was actually trying to forget it and move on.", he explained plainly to his son. "The reason why i was exiled was because i fell in love with your mother.", he said as he pulled an amulet from the inner parts of his uniform removing it from around his neck and throwing the necklace to his son.

Reikon caught the amulet necklace that his father had thrown to him in his hands. He looked at it in confusion until he realized what it was he was holding in his hands. It was the pendant of a Quincy... He than looked up at his father almost not sure what to ask since it wasn't really making sense to him. Why would his father be exiled because of loving his mother? She was just a normal woman... wasn't she? And why was his father carrying the pendant necklace of a Quincy? These questions were racing through his mind like a fish being flushed down the drain. Was his mother a Quincy? Was that the reason why his father had been exiled for falling in love with his mother whom was a Quincy woman?

His father looked at his son for a moment almost feeling bad for him not knowing so much about whom his parents really were, it was like they had lied to him intentionally. His father than let out a sigh as he replied to the confused expression on his son's face, "Yes son your mother was indeed a Quincy, we kept the truth from you and your younger siblings for we didn't think it was important and we wanted to live a normal life away from the killing hollows." He than walked over to his son and put his hand on his shoulder as if trying to comfort his confused son. Reikon than looked at his father and simply smiled, "It's fine dad, you don't need to explain... you obviously kept it from me for a reason."

His father was taken aback by the sudden change in his tone and expression as well as his son's response. "Well I see you truly are like your mother in that aspect, she always set aside her feelings and tried to continue on fourth without worry in her mind.", his father complimented as he looked through the window to the 2 children sitting in the living room watching television. "The reason i came out here was because your sister told me she saw you, so i figured i better verify if it was true or she was just seeing things.", he than continued "It seems that she has also picked up the ability to see spiritual beings now, meaning that she will have more trouble in the future if hollows begin to sense her reiatsu."

Reikon immediately jumped up after hearing this and looked his father in the eyes. "If any hollow goes near either of them i'll kill them myself, you have my word on that dad.", He said gripping the handle of his Zanpakuto tightly. His father than turned to his son and embraced him tightly in his arms. "It's been quite a while since i've heard you say such strong words in regards to your sister and brother, but remember son... I am also a past Captain; so you need not worry so much about their well being since i can protect them myself if the time ever comes that they're in danger.", he said as he held his son in his arms. "I'm actually quite happy to see that your doing so well among those in Soul Society, you've grown stronger since i last saw you before you crossed over.", said his father as he looked towards the direction of the Arrancar watching from the distance. "You sure have made some odd friends i must say Reikon, who is this Arrancar anyways.", asked his father in a tone of curiosity.

Reikon had totally forgotten that he had a random "guest" as you could call him. "Well i wouldn't call him my friend, he's been following me around after i ran into the woman and child i saved that night.", he replied in a form of sarcasm. "Well i can't judge really as long as he isn't going to start any shit on my front lawn that would endanger the safety of my family, i could care less.", said his father is a dry tone. Reikon than released his grip from his sword and took a seat along the wall. It had been a few years since he had actually seen his father as well as been home again. He wanted to see his younger siblings and hold them close like he once used to but he didn't want to stir up and delicate emotions. So he planned on keeping it a secret till his father thought it best to bring it to their attention.

The day was going by so quickly that Reikon hadn't even noticed that it was beginning to get late. This day was certainly an interesting one to remember. He'd most likely be thinking the thoughts out that had occurred today so he could maybe better understand his past and who his parents really were. He looked down at the Pendant his father had given him as he walked his way up the road from his house. He couldn't help but think of his mother and how he couldn't think of her being the Quincy type. She had died when he was young after all so he couldn't remember all too much about his mother. She died after giving birth to his little sister, it was said that she had bled internally and due to the lose of too much blood she died. Mai and Mitsukai were only a year apart so they didn't really know their mother at all which was quite sad really.

That must be why Reikon thought it necessary to always be there for his siblings as a father figure to help his father with the role that he had to take on by himself. His father was always a kind and loving man and loved his family very much, which didn't surprise him when his father mentioned being exiled for Soul Society for not only having a child with but also loving a Quincy woman. Reikon himself never stood to be much of a racist when it came to beings other than humans and shinigami. He believed in equal chances, if you weren't evil or never did anything wrong intentionally to do so than you weren't someone to be judged. Everyone deserves a chance to change or explain themselves even if they have done a little wrong. It's those who continue down the path of wrong because they enjoy it who are the ones that should be eradicated from the face of existence.


-------------------FLASH BACK--------------------


Some people might think it to be harsh to use the word eradicated but to him it was a light word for such trash. Reikon had always been the type to protect those who are less fortunate and weaker, ensuring that they were safe and always happy. He was always known for beating the shit out of the groups of bullies whom mistreated the other kids in school. There was once a gang of thugs who used to wait outside the school for the bell to ring and all the kids to be let out, they would constantly beat up on a random kid they saw as an easy target. They would take their belongings and not give them back after beating up on the innocent kid for no reason at all but because they saw it as fun it was okay to them. That all of course came to a halting stop when Reikon overheard the group had been harassing his younger siblings and their friends. They pushed his little brother on the ground and stomped his new PSP, while holding him down forcing him to watch as they destroyed his things and swung his friend around by his school bag.

Reikon had showed up one day before the school was dismissed and had waited outside for his little brother and sister as well as their friends. The gang had been standing across from him of course waiting for their next victim, not even paying attention to Reikon being there as well. The group of children along with Mai and Mitsukai had come outside as the bell rang. The group of thugs immediately swarmed around them like a pack of hungry wolves ganging up on their next meal. Little did they know that that attempted meal was the wrong one to chose and would be their last.

Reikon had quickly grabbed two of the oblivious thugs from behind and collided their heads together like two chalk board erasers. Blood had spilled from both heads like a pop of confetti as he used such force and anger in his collided blow to split both of their heads open. The two thugs immediately fell to the ground unconscious as if knocked into a coma. The other 4 thugs turned in complete horror and confusion as two of their biggest guys dropped like flies and with such lightning speed. They of course were too stupid to grab their fallen comrades and walk away, instead two of them pulled knives and rushed at Reikon.

The group of children as well as Reikon's younger siblings cried out in fear that he would be stabbed or even killed. Reikon was a 8th degree black belt in mixed martial artist so this was a walk in the park for him. Using the techniques he learned in martial arts and defense class he quickly grabbed the arms of both men whom were carrying blades and quickly broke their wrists making them drop the blades as quick as they had pulled them out. Both men again in shock pulled back holding their broken wrists in pain. He quickly dropped both men where they stood as he swiftly kicked them both in chest; knocking the wind out of them with ease. They too fell to the ground, passed out from the sudden blow to the chest. The other two remaining thugs began to understand that this man was obviously not someone they could handle since he was well trained in fighting. Instead they left their fallen comrades like cowards and began to run for their lives.

As they did so Reikon quickly grabbed a lose brick that had been sticking out of the wall of the school steps, he broke it in half as he punched it. He than used the two chunks of brick and threw them as hard as they could, you would have thought that they being pitched by a professional baseball pitcher. They flew threw the air with such force that when they collided with the backs of the two thugs skulls they shattered to smaller pieces. The two unfortunate thugs dropped like stones in a pond as they hit the ground. Reikon than dusted himself off after throwing that brick, he than turned to the group of small children a smiled at them as if nothing happened.

Reikon was pretty scary when it came to things like that, it was like he could slaughter someone right in front of your very eyes and look as calm and serene as if nothing had happened. "I hope you kids are alright, those guys won't be messing with either of you ever again... and if they do let me know and I'll be sure to pound it through their thick skulls until they do; but i highly doubt they're ever coming back here again.", he said with an innocent smile across his face. "Isn't that right guys!?!?", he said as he stomped on one of the thugs hands till he cried out in pain. "YEESSSSSSS, We promise not to ever show our faces around here ever again... you can be sure of that!!!", cried out the thug who's hand had been stomped on.

Before leaving he was nice enough to call the local hospital and report the group of injured thugs so that they could send an ambulance to pick them up and hopefully treat them. He walked all the kids home before taking his younger siblings home himself, all the kids were talking back and fourth narrating the fight Reikon had just finished. They spoke of him as if he was some bad ass action hero or anime character in a popular series. He was just glad that he could keep these kids safe from ass holes like that roaming around the neighborhood.

----------------FLASH BACK ENDS----------------


Reikon smiled as he remembered that memory, it was a fight he would never forget. He continued walking until he had finally come back to the spot from which he had first met the Arrancar. "So do you intend to follow me home like some sort of lost puppy dog or something?", he asked in a sacrastic tone of voice. The sun hadn't set quite yet so there was still a good bit of sunlight that remained in the sky.

“Lost puppy dog? More like curious cat,” Shunko giggled at his own joke, but Reikon stood there. “Any way’s I just want you to talk to Sarah for me,” Shunko smiled at Reikon. Shunko looked up at the sun, and then the white clouds. Well i do miss her, and from what I remember she must have been a good wife, but do I really want her to fear me as an arancar, Shunko thought to himself.
“Ok Reikon I want you to say this to her for me, I miss you, but wherever you go I’m always with you” Shunko said as he smiled with a tear running down his cheek. “Huh, well I must have something in my eyes, anyway, please don’t tell her about me being an Arrancar, It will only persuade her to come to Hueco Mundo in search for me, and that won’t end well” Shunko said as he turned to walk towards the park. Shunko went and laid in a tree, there he yawned and continued to talk.

The time for Reikon's leave was drawing nearer, the sun was beginning to set and it had been quite a while since he had left for his mission. Good thing there really wasn't anything to worry about, the Arrancar did show up but he didn't seem the threatening type to worry about but he would have to be forced to put that in his report. Reikon than turned to the Arrancar and looked at due to the mentioning of his questions and responses. He thought to himself if he should truly respect and grant the wishes of this Arrancar, after all he was considered the enemy of Soul Society. But in all due respect he was a different man than most Shinigami, and this Arrancar seemed different from most Arrancar.

After the estranged meeting with his father and this Arrancar in the same day, he decided that not everyone is as bad as people make them out to be. Not all people choose who they are but lead down the certain roads they choose due to survival and instinct. "Perhaps I will grant you're wish Arrancar, I will respect your wishes since you seem to be different from other Arrancar and i believe everyone deserves a chance in life and in even death.", he said as he smiled at the Arrancar. "And it seems like even you can cry, not a bad thing either... just shows that there is a part of your human self still left in you to show such an emotion.", he said as he looked at the Arrancar. "Perhaps we will meet again one day, and i could possibly bring Sarah along for the ride, therefore she can find out herself and see that your not the Arrancar that is painted by others....but if you rather me not i can respect that and just pass your words on, even though they will put a burden on me and draw suspicion and question.", he said as he turned and began to open the Senkaimon to make his journey back to Soul Society.

The gate opened up and Reikon made his way through it as it closed behind him, leaving the Arrancar and the Human world as he last remembered them both. This was a truly interesting day for Reikon, he had found out things about his past and family that he had never known nor thought of. He had met a strange Arrancar that was his first encounter with their kind, and it seemed to be quite the opposite of what he expected out of it. And now he made his way back to the place he now called home as a Shinigami, thinking out what he would have to put out in his reports about his assigned investigation. This day was truly an interesting day for him indeed....
