A little boy is walking around in the barracks of the North Division of the Royal palace. A bored expression resounds on the face of the boy.
??? thoughts: Gah this is boring I thought this place is cooler! I'd rather be in the soul society right now.
The boy's thoughts are interrupted by a bald man with beads around his neck and a huge beard.
???: Aahh you seem bored Aion!
Aion: Oh Mr. Ichibei I didn't see you there.
Ichibei: Hahaha you need to work on your spiritual pressure senses then.
Aion: But I'm just a small boy, what do you expect.
Ichibei: Your not just a small boy, your a prodigy you possess tremendous potential, do not waste it Aion.
Aion: I understand.
???: Aion you ran off again!
The boy tenses up a bit as that voice sounds all to familiar to him and he turns slowly as drops of sweat fall from his face.
Aion: Aah, I wouldn't say I ran off I just.... came to here wisdom from Mr. Ichibei. Isn't that right Mr. Ichibei... Mr. Ichibei
By the time the boys turns around the monk had vanished as if he was never there. Which doesn't support his answer in the slightest.
Aion: huh but he was Just here.
???: So are you going to tell me why your actually here?
Aion: I was bored.
The boy relentlessly gives in to his mother's question, though he knows full well what six arms can do to such a small fragile body he has.
Senjumaru: But you are in the Royal Palace, how can you be bored this place is fantastic is it not?
Aion: It is fascinating but nothing ever happens here, its all the same.
The woman walks closer to the boy and one of her 6 arms pats the boys head and then hugs him.
Senjumaru: How about you go to the Soul Society for a bit.
Aion's eyes widen with excitement and joy, his mouth opening wide.
Aion: Wait REALLLY.
Senjumaru: Of course but promise to stay out of trouble I know what your like.
The boy laughs awkwardly remembering the last time he snuck into the soul king's chambers and scratched the wall.
Aion: well uhm, I've matured mother.
Senuumaru: it was 2 days ago.
Aion: 48 hours is more than enough for someone to mature mother.
He smiles proudly as his rebuttal seems concrete in his tiny but yet intelligence mind. Senjumaru shakes her head as her expression becomes a little serious.
Senjumaru: And how about 48 hours of being grounded.
Aion: NO NO NO that's not necessary I'll go to the Soul society now.
He runs off towards the staircase that leads to the soul society.
(Senjumaru POV)
Senjumaru: That boy, just like his father always a trouble maker. *sigh* But that's why I love him.
Ichibei: Indeed who wouldn't love that boy?
I turn towards the Monk who appeared as he disappear earlier.
Senjumaru: So where did you go off to?
Ichibei: The Soul King of course.
Senjumaru: Is that so! What did he say?
The monk scratches his beard and looks at me with a serious expression, this telling me what he is about to say will not be good news in the slightest.
Ichibei: Aion will ......
Senjumaru: What!!!!
My eyes widen with surprise and shock over the revelation the high monk spoke before me.
Senjumaru: But he's so young, its not normal for anyone to be able to do that.
Ichibei: Indeed it is, which makes me wonder if it was a good idea allowing him to go to the soul society considering what is about to happen.
Senjumaru: If they attack there is a chance Aion won't accomplish what the Soul King said, what should I do?
I asked as I begin to get anxious and worried about my one and only son, the last remaining family I have.
Ichibei: There is nothing we can do I'm afraid the Soul King specifically said to not interfere with what is to come upon the Seireitei.
Senjumaru (thoughts): Aion stay safe please!
Timeskip: brought to you by Aion exhausted from running halfway down the long staircase
(Aion POV)
I finally reach the end of the staircase and at the verge of entering the Seireitei.
Aion: I made it and oh boy this place looks amazing.
Aion: I can't wait to explore this place WOHOOOOOOO.
I yell as I run towards the gates of the Seireitei the west side. My joy is immediately stopped as I see a giant man with two axes standing Infront of the gate.
Aion (Thoughts): Wow it's huge, very huge.
The giant man gazes upon my surprised countenance and smirks over his majesty.
???: Are you impressed by my majestic stature hmm boy?
His voice is not as terrifying as his size but still a little terrifying.
Aion: yeah your kinda big so yeah I'm a little suprised but not as suprised as entering the Seireitei.
???: HAHAHAHA why should I the great Jidanbo Ikkanzaka let scum from the Rukongai district in.
Aion: Excuse me, I am not from the Soul Society.
I respond in an aggressive voice over being called scum and someone from the slums of the SOul Society.
Jidanbo: LEAVE NOW OR FACE MY AXES BLADE.
He shouts at the boy obviously trying to scare him away but Aion has faced scarier things than a giant man with two axes.
Aion: You not that scary compared to my mother.
Jidanbo's pride gets hurt over being called less scarier than a woman he doesn't even know.
Jidanbo: And who is your mother?
Aion: Senjumaru Shutara.
I say proudly as i place my hands on my hips.
*Boom*
Aion: huh
Jidanbo had dropped his two Axes in fear after hearing me say that name.
Jidanbo: ah ha Sen- Senjumaru Shutara.... the weaver of the Shihakusho (Shinigami clothes).
Jidanbo: Uhm enter this way master Aion.
Jidanbo lifts the gates of the west side of the Seireitei and gives passage to Aion, who is suprised over how quickly Jidanbo changed his tone all because he's the son of the Great Weaver Senjumaru Shutara.
Aion (thoughts): Huh I have power and authority all because people know my mother. *Grin* Oh yeah.
I rub my hands menacingly ready to abuse my power before I remember something my father told me before he left to get some milk (A.K.A He died).
(Flashback)
Aion: Dad I just found out people will do anything I say because mom is a captain of the Gotei 14. I can use this power to get a lot of things.
The young boy excitedly tells his father the great news he just found out. His eyes full of excitement. His father lifts him up and places him on his lap.
Father: Aion always remember this "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility". Never abuse that power even though its not really power.
(Flashback end)
Aion (Thoughts): huh I had almost forgotten that happened before, *faint smile* that old geezer, his words still ring in my brain.
I continue walking and observing the soul society when I bump into someone at the corner of one of the many magnificent buildings.
Aion: Oh I am so sorry I was lo..oki
I couldn't finish my sentence after looking at the girl and how beautiful she looked especially her eyes. I was awestruck and frozen in place couldn't even give her my hand to pull her back on her feet.
A/N: Closest picture to a young Kinfuji Yuhina I could find. (read the Bio if you don't know who she is)
???: Tsk pervert!
Aion: what huh, I'm not a pervert, what perverted thing have I done?
???: You keep staring at me with that look of lust. Grandma is right men are sometimes perverted dogs.
She gets up and runs of looking angry which leaves me shocked since that has never happened before.
Aion (thoughts): What just happened?
I scratch my head still confused over what just happened. It was my first time meeting a girl but still she didn't even wait and talk to me, she didn't even tell me her name.
I continue on my tour of the soul society enjoying each part of it until an explosion happens way of in one of the districts.
Aion: what the-
(Ichibei POV)
Ichibei: Hmm so it has begun.
I look down from the Soul King's chambers down to the Soul Society with my thoughts deep on what the Soul King said about this.
(Senjumaru POV)
Senjumaru: Aion stay safe please
(Aion POV)
An alarm begins blurring which means an attack on the soul society. Warriors dressed in white begin appearing from the shadows slaughtering souls all around the Seireitei. I can only watch in shock as i stay frozen in place before the warriors turn towards me
Their leader who stands on the corpses of many soul reapers smirks as he knows who I am.
???: Kill him.
The warriors in white begin and their leader begin moving towards me fiercely. Aion turns and begins running, his short legs can't go that fast and at this age he can't flash step yet but adrenaline hits "flight system activated."
Aion: Got to *breath* get *breath* away.
He continues running but before he can get away a soilder grabs him and slams him into the ground making the boy spit out blood.
???: I know this boy.
A voice comes from the middle of the group of soldiers as their leader walks towards Aion. The boy tries his best to back away but he's out of stamina.
The enemy leader picks Aion up and looks at him straight in the eyes as the wind and scent of blood swirls around the area.
???: Do you know me?
Aion (quietly): no
???: Speak up!
Aion: NO
The boy responds in a shout, his usually brave and confident nature returning slowly but surely. The leader chuckles a bit as do his soildiers.
Yhwach: I AM Yūhabahha leader of the Quincy army.
Aion's eyes widden as he has heard that name from Monk Ichibei before.
Aion: you are the son of the Soul King aren't you.
Yhwach: ah so you know me do you. Then you know why I have come?
The boy doesn't respond not because he is afraid but because.
Aion (thoughts): I have no Idea.
Yhwach: I've come to-
A loud blast of flames erupts not too far from where we are. This gets the attention of everyone in sight.
From the flames walks out a group of 14 warriors wearing the Soul reaper captains' coats. It's none other than the Captains of the 14 squads here to stop this Quincy invasion.
Aion takes this opportunity as Yhwach is distracted by the Gotei 14 and throws dirt in Yhwach's eyes which makes the quincy leader drop the boy to rub his eyes.
Aion lands on his feet and begins running to the Gotei 14.
Aion (thoughts): I picked up the dirt seconds before he picked me up, sucker, he should have noticed my left hand was curled in a fist the whole time while my right hand was tyring to get out of his grasp.
The boy reaches the Gotei 14 but these guys look like they are ready to slaughter him as well.
???: BOY leave now before I burn you to ashes.
The head captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto speaks in an aggressive and bone chilling voice as some of the captains look like they are ready to be put of a leash and go on a murdering streak.
Aion: ah right yeah.
I run off into the shadows fearing for my life but still excited to know I was saved by the Gotei 14, the coolest gang in the three worlds if not the whole universe.
I continue running until I hear a scream and turn to the side to see a group of souls running away and shortly following them is a demi-hollow who's chain of fate was just broken.
Aion: what is that..... gah no time to think help them help them.
The boy begins running towards the group of soul before they get devoured. He finds them cornered by the demi-hollow who roars.
???: Hey UGLY stay away from my friends
Before Aion gets the demi-hollow's attention a girl does it first by throwing rocks at it from behind and its none other than the same girl that called him a pervert.
Aion (thoughts): her again *gulp* lets hope I don't freeze, again.
The demi-hollow turns to the girl and spits out some liquid at the girl but she narrowly jumps out of the range of the blast. The effects are objects sticking together.
Aion (thoughts): I have never read or seen a hollow without a cero until now, and that spit of its sticks things together what should I call it...
The boy scratches his head trying to think of a name completely forgetting there are lives in danger just a few feet away from him.
Aion: I GOT IT Sticker Phlegm that's what I'll call it, I AM A GENIUS.
Aion screams out loud complimenting himself which gets the attention of the demi-hollow, the girl and the group of scared souls who all look at him dumbfounded.
Girl: You again, perving on me AGAIN.
Aion: What no get over yourself, I am not a pervert.
The two kids begin their silly argument on nothing really. (A/N: I know right teenagers💀💀) the demi-hollow found this as an opportunity to strike and its spits out the goo on them which sticks them together.
The two kids tumble on the ground unable to escape this substence.
Aion: Man I got hit by the Sticker Phlegm.
Girl: The what?
Aion: The sticker... gah nevermind we need to get out of this before that thing eats us or them.
The demi-hollow roars as its spiritual pressure rises and brings the terrified group of souls to their knees. Aion and the girl are barely able to resist this amount of spiritual pressure. It begins walking towards the terrified souls.
Aion: we..ne- need to do something girl.
Girl: My name is Yuhina and you better respect it pervert.
Yuhina snaps back at Aion, clearly not amussed by the fact he called her "girl" even though she never even told him her name.
Aion: fine Yuhina, we need to get out of this substance.
Yuhina: How genius?
Aion: I don't know, I just haven't had enough time to figure out how this substance works.
Aion tries to struggle and push against the goo trying to rip it open by force.
Aion: It won't budge.
The hollow sticks the group of souls together ready to devour them all.
Aion: NOOO DON'T
Yuhina: STOP
The hollow slices one of the kids stomach upward and blood gushes out, the others scream in shock, Yuhina's eye widen with fear and trauma as she begins sweating.
(Yuhina POV)
Yuhina: no please not again.
(Flashback)
???: Yuhina run please save yourself.
A man who looks like he is in his thirties (human age wise) says to Yuhina who is trying to pull him out of some rubble that fell on him. A fishbone hollow is destroying the area while devouring some kids.
Yuhina: No I won't leave you dad!!!
Yuhina responds her voice trembling with a bit of fear as the fishbone gets closer and closer to her and her family.
Mother: Please Yuhina your father is right, you have to go we can't move.
Yuhina: *with tears* Mom, Dad please let me help you I can't lose you.
With their remaining strength Yuhina's parents hug her and hold her close and speak in Unison to their only child.
Dad & Mom: We will always be with you Yuhina. We love you.
Yuhina turns and runs with all her might and as she turns back to see the fishbone slaughters her parents and eats their souls which mentally breaks her. She screams as tears fall from her eyes not knowing what to do.
(Flashback End)
Yuhina: Please no, stop please
I say in a trembling voice not wanting to see the same thing happen all over again to my friends. Tear start streaming down my eyes as the hollow slaughters another on of my friends who can do nothing but watch as their fates get sealed.
???: HEY YOU HOLLOW SCUM, SHE SAID STOP IT.
The tears stop for a moment as I look to my side to see the boy who I got glued with look furiously at the hollow.
The hollow turns to the boy and roars, but turns back to my remaining friends who are still helpless stuck in this goo.
Aion: I SAID STOP!!!
A burst of spiritual pressure begins to rise up from the boy which makes the hollow step back and the gooey substance sticking us together break apart.
Yuhina (thoughts): wow, who is he.
(Aion POV)
Aion: I won't stand by and watch other being killed.
I shout with determination, even though I don't have a zanpakuto or any weapon I still stand up against this hollow scum.
Aion: I WON'T ALLOW IT.
Unconsciously I raise my spiritual pressure to a level that reaches a lieutenant level.
Aion: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I scream with determination as I charge towards the hollow. The pure rage and adrenaline fuels me as I race to the demi-hollow. The distance between us getting shorter and shorter by each step I take.
*BOOM*
It was all over in that instant half of the area we were in completely wiped out, everything within the range of the beam completely wiped out or so the boy thought as he fell down unconscious.
(??? POV)
???: Such destructive capabilities especially for his age. Aion Shutara you really are an interesting character aren't you.
A woman smirks as she has Yuhina, the remain souls and Aion in a barrier "kekkai" covering them from the explosion caused by Aion all of them unconscious but alive.
(time skip)- Aion POV
I see a river in a peaceful land full of flowers and on the other side my father is there looking at me disappointedly.
Father: What are you doing here son?
Tears fall from my eyes as I jog towards him.
Father: STOP WERE YOU ARE NOW!
I immediately stop and wipe my tears from my sad eyes. I stand up straight and face my father.
Aion: Father where am I?
Father: You are on the path between destiny and future. Cross this river and you will face your future but if you don't your destiny will come to fruition.
Aion: But isn't my future my destiny?
My father snaps his fingers and a cup of sake appears in his hands and he sips it happily and seriously.
Father: Isn't everyone's.. Say hello to your mother for me my boy.
The river then floods the whole land and my eyes open wide to the real world inside the barracks of one of the squads.
Aion: Where am I.
???: Aah so you have awoken have you.
The voice of a woman rings inside the room we are in, I slowly get up my muscles aching even though I am not injured in anyway. She hands me a cup full of green liquid.
Aion: ah thank you.
I take a sip, and it tastes like mixed vegetables with something in them and other things I can't describe because of censorship but bleurgh. Anyway I swallow it with tears streaming down my eyes.
Aion: it tastes great.
???:: Oh please don't lie to me, I know it tastes horrible but it does the trick. How are your muscles feeling.
My eyes widen as I realise the pain is gone. The woman smiles at me and turns returns to the seat next to my bed.
???: I am Kinfuji Yayoi Captain of Squad 14. How do you do.
I drop my cup as the woman introduces herself as the Captain of Squad 14. My mouth agape but I remember her last name from somewhere "Kinfuji".
Aion: uhm I.. uh I am-
Ms. Yayoi: Shutara Aion , don't worry I know who you are.
She cuts me off by saying my full name perfectly even though I never told her which makes me ask some questions.
Aion: but how?
Ms. Yayoi: Senjumaru and I talk. *giggles*
Aion: You talk to my mom, how often?
Ms. Yayoi: Everyday.
My jaw drops again.
Aion: HOW. I've never seen you around the royal palace.
Ms. Yayoi giggles at my surprised reaction, obviously not expecting me to make a big scene out of this but I do it anyway. She places her index finger close to her lips.
Ms. Yayoi: That's a secret I will keep between me and Senju.
I sigh.
Aion (thoughts): Her personality is so outgoing and friendly, hard to believe she just fought the Quincy.
Aion: WAIT A MINUTE, what happened to those Quincy guys?
I ask in anticipation hoping to hear their extinguished and not that its a full-scale war that will take decades to complete.
Ms. Yayoi: Gone, the Gotei 14 wiped them out. You can rest easy.
She says in a carefree attitude.
Aion: What happened to the other kids who were with me, what even happened to the demi-hollow that was attacking us?
Ms. Yayoi: The survivors are okay physically but mentally not so much, after all it is the external wounds that heal the quickest. As for the hollow you have no need to worry about that now.
I nod after hearing this, still a little worried since I have no recollection of what happened after my war cry and charge towards the hollow.
Ms. Yayoi (thoughts): He has no memories of what happened! Thats for the best, after all the destruction he did to the Junriran (West Rukongai) I'd rather he didn't know.
Aion: I don't want to appear as rude or bossy.
Ms. Yayoi: Oh go ahead I don't mind.
My tummy rumbles and I hold it as I turn a bit red from embarrassment.
Ms. Yayoi: Okay, I'll get you some food.
Aion:: I didn't even ask.
Ms. Yayoi: You don't need to.
She gets up and goes to the passage way, I heard her footsteps get fainter and fainter by the passing seconds until its completely silent, except for the Soul Reapers arguing outside.
Aion (thoughts): She has that motherly experience...is she even married?
(Yayoi POV)
I enter the kitchen and begin preparing some healthy vegetable soup to assist in his recovery. I get the cooking utensils, put on my apron, and turn the fire on.
Yayoi: I still look cute in an apron. *giggles*
I turn around from the mirror and see Senju standing on the door way chuckling over my childishness.
Senjumaru: Well you haven't changed Yayoi.
I walk to her and we embrace in a friendly hug, its been quite a while since we last saw each other after all.
Yayoi: Of course, 20 minutes isn't enough for me to change is it now my darling.
Senjumaru: What are you making?
She asks as she knows I only cook when something big is going to happen or is happening.
Yayoi: I am making some Kenchinjiru. Mr. A/N will tell you what it is.
(A/N: Its a Japanese vegetarian soup. The ingredients are below.)
(dried kelp), shiitake, and water – for the vegan dashifirm tofukonnyaku (konjac)daikon radishcarrotsatoimo (taro)gobo (burdock root)toasted sesame oilsake, kosher salt, and soy saucegreen onions/scallions – for garnishshichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) and Japanese sansho pepper – optional, for a spicy kick
Senjumaru: Oh wow I'm impressed, may I help you Yayoi.
My eyes beam with excitement as it has been quite a while since Senju and I made a dish together, the last time we cook the head captain could walk for days but we were young so understandable but Aion will enjoy.
Yayoi: Yes lets do it.
Senju weaves an apron out of thin air and puts in on.
Senjumaru: Ready Apron sister.
Yayoi: Always Apron Sister.
(Aion POV)
Aion (thoughts): How sweet of Kinfuji-san to cook for me. But what is her relation to me and my mother.
I place my hand on my chin, as I contemplate why she seems so close to my family.
Of course deep thoughts never last. The doors barges open and who is at the door is none other than the bratty girl Yuhina, hiding behind the doorframe are the other souls that he saved but doesn't know.
Yuhina: *annoyed voice* Tsk so you are away.
Aion: You're making it seem you wanted me to die?
Yuhina: That would have been a great thing for all of us wouldn't it.
Aion: what is your problem with me?
I ask, really want to know why she has beef with me I mean I just met her today so what's the freaking problem.
Yuhina: The Problem is your a PERVY.
My jaw drops over the false accusation.
Aion: SLANDER THAT IS!
Yuhina: It's not slander
Aion: YOU KEEP ACCUSING ME WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL PREMISE.
Yuhina grabs my collar and begins screaming in my face, her right hand curled into a fist ready to pummel me. The souls at the door trying to calm Yuhina down before she knocks some teeth out of me
(Yayoi POV)
Yayoi: Its done Senju.
We embrace in a hug as we look at our fine work of Kenchinjiru soup for Aion.
Senjumaru: It looks delicious, my son will definitely enjoy this.
Yayoi: Should we taste it first!
We both look at the dish remembering what happened to the head captain last time we decide not to and just let Aion taste it.
Senjumaru: You know what let Aion taste is for us, I mean it is his soup.
Yayoi: Yeah great idea.
We remove our aprons and begin walking back towards the med bay room Aion is in, muffled voices begin getting louder and louder in his room.
??? 1: SHUT UP!
??? 2: I AM GOING TO WASTE YOU LIKE THE GARBAGE YOU ARE!
??? 3: Guys please calm down.
We don't increase our pace as we know who the voices are, after modelling our way to his voice we find Yuhina on the floor and Aion on top.
Senjumaru: Wow who would have thought my son was interesting in those kinds of things!
(Aion POV)
I turn towards the door to see my mother and Ms. Yayoi there just looking at us and it was at that moment I knew I messed up.
Aion: Mother its not what you think.
She tilts her head at me and gives me the "explain right now" look. I look at Yuhina who I am currently on top of.
Yuhina: GRANDMA HE TRYING TO ASSAULT ME.
Aion: SHUT UP!
Ms. Yayoi: *Giggling* These two make quite the pair don't they Senju.
Senjumaru: Indeed, we might become more than just friends in the future if you catch my drift. *smirks*
Ms. Yayoi: Oh becoming your sister-in-law would be an hour.
I get off of Yuhina and subconsciously help her up as I look at the too adults who are speaking about in-laws and family.
Aion: Sister-in-law, what do you mean Ms. Yayoi?
I interject their conversation which a question of my own.
Ms. Yayoi: well you and Yuhina seem pretty close, I thought the deal what set.
Aion: What deal?
Senjumaru (Whispering to Yayoi): He's denser than a drop of water.
Ms. Yayoi: Seems like it, anyway You and Yuhina seem so close we were thinking you two were set now.
I scratch my head and so does Yuhina.
Ms. Yayoi: Simpler terms your gonna get married.
Aion + Yuhina: We know.
We speak at the same time and then turn to each other from a second.
Yayoi + Senjumaru: To each other!
Aion: EW NO.
Yuhina: No way he's a pervert.
The two adults begin chuckling as they hear our reactions. I sigh then suddenly my muscles clench up and begin aching again.
Senjumaru: Aion are you alright?
Aion: No not really!
I go back on the bed and lay on it as Ms. Yayoi hands me the soup. I look at it and remembering that drink she gave me I'm just preparing my taste buds for the worst.
Senju + Yayoi: We made it together.
I breathe a sigh of relief, I mean it can't be that bad can it.
Aion: Here goes nothing.
I swallow the chunk of whatever the ingredients are and suprisingly its actually blurfffffffff. I hold it in and swallow and put on my best smile to not hurt their hearts since they put so much work into this.
Aion (thoughts): Are there no cook books anywhere.
I turn to them and put the soup on the side.
Aion: it tastes...great!
The two women squeal in excitement and joy, I cough to get their attention.
Aion: Ms. Yayoi tell me what happened after I passed out.
She gets serious and looks straight at me with the intention of not wanting to hold anything back from me.
Ms. Yayoi: You destroyed a part of the west district of the Rukongai district.
My eyes widen when I hear this.
Aion: But how I didn't even have a weapon or anything to do that.
Ms. Yayoi: That's the mystery part of how you managed to do it!
My mother then chimes in on the conversation her serious expression on one she only has when she is about to spank me.
Senjumaru: Aion, do you have any recollection fo what happened before you passed out.
(Flashback)
Yuhina: Please no, stop please
I say in a trembling voice not wanting to see the same thing happen all over again to my friends. Tear start streaming down my eyes as the hollow slaughters another on of my friends who can do nothing but watch as their fates get sealed.
Aion: I won't stand by and watch other being killed.
(Flashback End)
My eyes turn to Yuhina who is standing with her friends.
Aion: It was a desire to protect them.
My mother and Ms. Yayoi turn to the others with intrigued expressions now.
Senjumaru: Ahh now I see, the desire to protect the ones you care about heightened your emotions huh-
Ms. Yayoi: and led you to abnormal levels of spiritual pressure and that destructive power.
They finish each others sentences like two good friends should.
Aion: I guess so but... where did that beam come from?
Ms. Yayoi: All I saw was the glowing beam coming from you nothing else!
The mystery just gets deeper and deeper, and we are no closer to finding out how I did that. I then snap out of my thoughts and ask in a worried voice.
Aion: I didn't hurt anyone did I.
Ms. Yayoi just shakes her head with a smile.
Ms. Yayoi: No no, the people were already evacuated because of the Quincy attack, so no one was hurt. Well except their homes.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
Yuhina's friend 1: Uhm thank you for saving us
I turn to her with a soft smile.
Aion: No problem.
Yuhina's friend 2 &3: Yes thank you.
I nod at them but my eyes lower knowing the fact that I couldn't save their other friend. If only I wasn't so pathetic.
Yuhina: T--... Thank you
I lift up my eyes and look at her, she looks a bit red and I wonder why she is blushing.
Yuhina: I am really grateful for what you did.. But this doesn't mean we're friends your still a pervert.
My soft smile turns into a disappointed face. Ms. Yayoi just facepalms at her granddaughter's stubbornness. My mother just giggles as this scene seems all to familiar.
(Senjumaru POV)
Senjumaru (thoughts): Reminds of how I was with his father, we started out arguing back and forth, and then well Aion was born. The greatest gift I've ever had.
I look down with a hint of sadness in my eyes. Even though its been 8 years since he died I still wish I could have done more for him.
Aion: Mom are you okay?
I look at him and smile.
Senjumaru: Yes, I'm fine dear.
I shake off the sad eyes and look at him seriously.
Senjumaru: Aion, do you want to become a soul reaper?
