15 Bleach Proluge Part 2 Noir meddles with.. a lot of things

-Human World-

.

Human World, an odd number of years later its time frame had some changes rippling through. Noir had been reborn as a child. He was able to move around freely but it was as a soul. He recently just came back from Hell dealing with the Kushanada. Even there he couldn't use his powers. His Soul Reaper powers were grayed from his last stunt. The recharge was way too long.

But Hell couldn't do anything since he was a level 20 Cleric. He just kept gathering any harmful energy into his pocket watch. Whoever ruled Hell had brought him to the lowest level to perform last rites to several inhabitants. It was a very long process. Especially with Hell predating even Soul Society itself.

The only thing he received was a tattoo on his left shoulder. A silver hollow mask that looked exactly like his own. It was hard to tell with the reflection of metal. Stupid System locked his inventory as well. Noir was only allowed out every now and then to go to the Human World and to meet Genryusai on occasion in his quarters. The information.. was not very good. But better than what it was originally.

A lot of people that died had been saved and stored away. As for Aizen's treachery towards Urahara, it still happened. But those involved were given a lot in hiding and told to train to master their new powers. Happy they were not abandoned went a long way.

But those arguments are for later.

Noir watched everything transpire with Aizen, Gin, and another figure. The weird Hollow experiment White, was attacking Masaki Kurosaki. Ichigo's mother and his driving force towards his character design in the future originally. The event to mess with her life was happening. Or something else anyway. She trapped it and then bolted for her life.

"Raaar!" White roared breaking free.

Masaki was separated from a few other Quincy's as they hunted. Considering her power level, it was something to watch her get "lost" somehow. She was searching for someone. But not any of them.

*Flicker!* Noir reappeared right in front of her. She was used to his appearing from nowhere every now and then.

"Little hood, how are you today?" Masaki asked joyfully. She reached into her pocket pulling out a bag of cookies. She passed them over to him, which Noir took. "I worked really hard on them. But little kids shouldn't eat so many of them."

She was not in any way worried about the Hollow she just fought. As if it didn't matter in the least what it was doing. Especially since she felt someone powerful going after it. White was heading to her location still. But it would be slowed by the other Quincy hitting it with strafing attacks. They were told by her not to get close to it under any circumstances.

"For the last time, I am older than you brat." Noir grumbled as he at some of the cookies. They were oatmeal raisin and delicious. "Have you done a good job convincing them yet?"

"Nope, they refuse to listen." Masaki pouted. Despite her age, it still looked adorable. She gently stroked a bracelet on her wrist. A gift from Noir when he first met her. "But, I convinced my cousin we were not right for each other. He told me about a young Quincy that said the same thing. How about that?"

Alluding to her perceptiveness in more than one matter.

"Yes, it was me. And I have told you already, I am not a Quincy." Noir rolled his eyes under the hoody. "Make sure to keep that bracelet on. Things are changing soon."

"Ok!" Masaki said with a small cheer. She was about to start acting goofy but a large pulse of spiritual energy stopped that. "Tch, trouble from the enemy right?" Noir gave her a nod. "I will do my best to injure them. I will see you afterward right?"

"Yes Masaki, for the last time. I will not leave you anytime soon. But you must keep your resolve strong. Go and deal with this, and I will see you later. Be careful brat." Masaki took off in a sprint, vanishing afterward.

Noir turned to the south and disappeared.

.

-South Karakura Town-

.

Noir appeared in front of a Soul Reaper. The Soul Reaper had a strong resemblance to him a little. But looked more like his other family members. It was Kaien Shiba with a message for him.

"Little Ancestor! How are you?!" The overall cheerful young man asked. He refuses to take Noir seriously unless he gets angry. Which surprisingly happens rarely. Noir calmed a great deal when going to Hell giving rites and attacking those who refused to listen. Great punching bags since they reformed a few hours later. "Do I need to act on that over there?"

Kaien hicked a thumb behind him. Masaki could be seen fighting against White. Saving one of the Quincies who refused to listen to her orders previously. The torn arm would fix that mindset greatly. A great reminder.

"No. Let it be.." Noir was reading the letter as Kaien watched him unblinking. "..this is ugh. But to each their own. Make sure you guard the others well."

"I guess. But why do I have to be a part of the Shadow Squad still? I really want to return to my Squad." Noir shook his head no. "Tell me why at least."

"I.." Noir stopped as the notification appeared. He was cleared to speak freely now. Looking back, he could see Misaki had blasted White's head. And Isshin arrived to finish it off. "..ok. A traitor in Soul Society is going to make things a lot worse in the coming years. The problem is... his forces are strong. The tools to end him have not been developed enough. And the Soul King will not allow it yet either. What he is waiting for, I have no idea. Oh, the Quincy King is still around causing trouble."

"..." Kaien had the look of wishing he never asked. He stood still as he came to terms with some things. "I will make sure the others keep training. I will let them know enough after talking with the Captain Commander." With a serious look, he received the encrypted message from Noir and paused. "Commander gave me a chess piece when I arrived for treatment at the Shadow Guard. Is that what saved Miyako as well?" Noir nodded. "He said they came from you. Thank you for that." He then left.

When Isshin gave up his powers to help Masaki, the bracelet glowed faintly. The part of White inside her was sealed up completely. Just a tiny amount mixed in her soul. Nothing could be done about that. It needed to be done to fool Urahara.

Noir didn't trust him and the feeling was mutual. But they never pulled any stunts on each other.

"Now for her. I will visit her when they are gone." Noir watched as Isshin gave up his powers and looked at Urahara who passed a wristband over to him. It was to allow faster spirit energy to return to Isshin. About 10 years before it would be ready. "Hmmm, I want to eat White. I can feel he will be a tasty meal."

Noir's conqueror powers started forcing his Vas Lordes power to evolve. He could feel a pull from Hueco Mundo. But it pass quickly enough.

-Some Years later-

.

After speaking with Masaki and helping her settle into her new place in town, Noir left. The Quincy did not like what happened to her and threatened to cut her off. Which worked into her hands. She took her exile with grace and a smile. Associating with Soul Reaper's was already a big taboo. Receiving treatment is even worse.

Noir found himself doing the next stage of his Fullbringer quest.

System: Change the fate of Aura Michibane. Rewards: Completion of Hell extended Quests. Failure: Downgrade of Fullbring powers.

Aura was someone that existed thanks to the novel Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World and the Game Bleach: Brave Souls. Her ability to create vast constructs was a testament in itself. Noir already took her mother's body after the Hollow attack on her. She was currently suspended in his Life Domain waiting.

'To think someone else is doing things with Xcution before Ginjo. How odd. Well, I did not pay too much attention to that guy anyway. I wonder if Genryusai will still allow him to become a substitute Soul Reaper?' Noir walked into the house after a man left. It was Tenshiyo Agata, the girl's father. 'Hmm been a while since I did any kidnapping. But old tricks never fade away.'

System: Stealth Check 31 Pass

The traps all over the place were pretty good. Noir slipped passed them and moved into the basement. His map alerted him where the girl was trapped downstairs.

"Humph!" Noir broke the makeshift barrier. Tenshiyo must have learned a little from someone experienced. "Took more effort than I thought. But at least it is gone."

"Who is there?" A little girl called out. Noir moved over to the bars and placed his hands against it. Slowly they melted from the focus of spiritual energy. "Who are you!?" She looked scared but otherwise prepared to fight.

'Cure Wounds level 1.' Noir reached his hands out healing her. The bruises from training were restored instantly. 'Create food and water.' Fruits and vegetables appeared with some water near her. Mixed with his spirit energy, they at least had some taste and would make her stronger. "Eat and drink."

"You haven't answered my questions."

System: Persuasion Check 25 Pass

"I will answer if you eat and drink. I promise." Noir's tone was neutral as he stood across from her. 'A strong mind for someone so young. Cannot believe her level of resistance.'

"Numm num!" Aura ate with gusto. Her eyes trained on Noir while doing so. She pointed at him as if signaling him to get started.

"OK jeez." Noir smirked. "I am Noir Shiba here in this World. Both a Devil and a God. There are a lot of both of those. I am a lot of other things but that does not matter. I am what they call a User." Aura stopped eating and finished off some of the water.

"Ahhh! Much better!" Aura said with the innocence of a child. She was smart and still had humanity in her. Much better than what happens to her in the light novel. "A User.. the word seems weird. My father mentioned it once before."

"I see." Noir eyes flashed in understanding. The person making moves on Fullbringers would have to be a User. Or a released Companion in the World. 'Ugh, if my shit was unlocked I could find out faster.'

"Did you kill my father?"

"Nope." Noir said plainly. "Why do you think that?"

"Father said if a User comes, then he died." Aura teared up a little. "I am alone now."

"You are not. Your mother is alive. I have her." Noir said after blinking twice. Her crying face reminded him of his goddaughter. The young Dragonborn lost her parents to a feud between clans. Smart the same as Aura. 'Haaa such nostaglia. Is that why the System is doing this? Do you think I gave up or something? I haven't though.' As Noir thought things over, Aura just looked at him.

"Prove it." Aura's voice broke him from his thoughts. "I still think you are a kid. The same as me. Just have Fullbringer powers to!"

System: Persuasion Check 15 Pass

"Ok. But not here." Noir reached out to grab her hand. She took it tentatively.

*Teleport!* Noir Teleported them far away from this place. The moment they were just fast enough. A few people stormed into the place a few minutes later. No spirit energy for them to trace either one of them.

"Damn it!" A cloaked figure said. He looked to be the one with the most authority of all the people present. His eyes glazed over as he looked at something that wasn't there for the others. "Find her!"

The others shot off just to get away from their boss. When ever he started raging, they tend to get hurt. He searched the room every nook and cranny. Seeing a briefcase under a counter he opened it.

*Tick!* Before he could do anything, a spirit trap erupted. The entire house was bathed in energy. But it was not over.

*Vrooom!* Sigils on the ground activated next. Then an explosion.

*Kabooom!* The explosion sent the Leader flying through the roof. The building was completely decimated. No trace of any of the inhabitants or documents for that matter. Those that left the leader were praying that he died. But no such luck.
