2 Escape.
A/N: Chapter one has been rewritten too. The year we're in right now is just before the the soul society arc. So the mc has some time to grow. I also remember someone asking me if there was going to be a harem. No. Romance is probably gonna be with Aura Michibane. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Muramasa raised his hand and a purple flame appeared. He then gripped the flame and a katana manifested out of the flame. This was Muramasa's blade form.
He turned to the direction where Koga's presence was the strongest and swung the sword, causing the water and even space itself to split.
Immediately, a golden coffin appeared in Muramasa's eyes inside of the space that was split. Overjoyed, he stepped forward and swung the blade again, causing a-
CLANG!!
To sound out in the middle of the pond. Immediately all of the chains and halberds locking down the coffin were shattered, causing the door to open.
When the figure of his master appeared in his vision, Muramasa was stunned for a bit before he went to break his final bindings.
CLANG!
CLANG!
They proved to be no issue as the gauntlets and the chains that bonded him were broken. A sense of freedom that he hadn't felt in a long time assaulted his body as he stepped out of the coffin.
Looking at Muramasa bowing in front of him with tears coming out of his eyes, Koga couldn't help but pat him on the shoulders.
"Good job, Muramasa. You did well."
Eyes widening in joy, Muramasa kept kneeling as he responded, "I only did what I was supposed to, Master. Without your intervention, this would've been impossible. By the way Master, how did you gift me with these new abilities? They are...strange."
Koga seemed to have been prepared for this question as he easily said with a smile, "Let's just say that the Soul King himself gave us another chance at life."
Muramasa smiled, shook his head, and calmly got up from his knees as he said, "Master, let us leave. You barely have any power left and-"
*Cough* *Cough*
Blood spilled out of Muramasa's mouth as he coughed heavily. Koga held him up and flew up out of the pond, landing on the shore. He then laid Muramasa down and felt the tainted Reiryoku permeating through Muramasa's body.
It seemed that the spirit had been consuming hollows to survive on its own for so long.
"Sigh, Muramasa, your foolish master has put you through too much for too long. Will you forgive me?"
Koga said these words from the bottom of his heart. As a military man himself, when he had seen Koga go through the betrayal by Soul Society after doing so much for them, it ignited a rage within him.
He sympathized with Koga's position and wished that there was someone there to help him when things were just getting worse. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be.
So when he had the chance to transmigrate, he immediately chose Koga's body. After all, this was the most that could be done for him.
Muramasa smiled lightly as he said, "Master, I have forgiven you a long time ago. We both went through the same thing so I understood your anger. My only request is this. Will you accept me as your Zanpakuto once again? This time I swear that I will not fail you!"
Koga laid his hand on Muramasa's chest and a purple flame enveloped it.
"Of course, Muramasa. I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, rest."
Just as Muramasa was about to close his eyes, he suddenly remembered something as he struggled to his feet and swiped his hands horizontally across the space in front of him.
The space suddenly shattered as a pitch-black jagged portal appeared in front of the duo.
"A Garganta? Muramasa?"
Koga was a bit surprised as he didn't know why Muramasa opened it at this point in time.
"Master, since the seal was broken, I assume that they have already felt it in the Soul Society. It wouldn't be long before a team of Shinigami show up to capture you once again. So let's head to the Forest Of Menos in Hueco Mundo. I have a cave there that I usually rest in so it should be a safe hiding place for now."
Koga nodded in understanding as they both stepped into the Garganta, heading to the Forest Of Menos.
About an hour after the duo left, a large door opened up in the sky as a singular Shinigami stepped out of it.
But this wasn't any regular Shinigami.
It was none other than the Commander-In-Chief of the Soul Society, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto himself!
The one who had sealed Koga.
As he looked into the pond and confirmed that the seal was indeed destroyed, he thought to himself, 'How could the seal be broken? Anyone with enough power to do so would've already been under watch by us. Who could this unknown third party be?'
As he thought about the situation more, he still couldn't figure out who could've broken Koga out of the seal.
'I'll need to call a meeting with the Gotei 13. It's time for them to know of this threat.'
Yamamoto then sighed, turned around, and left, heading back to Soul Society. This threat was too great for him and Central 46 to continue hiding it from the Shinigami anymore.
[In a hidden cave, North of the Forest Of Menos.]
A small light of purple flames encapsulated Muramasa as he turned back into a Zanpakuto and completely re-linked with Koga. He wasn't shocked that Muramasa looked different in his spirit form, but his Zanpakuto form truly showed that difference.
The Zanpakuto's blade itself was now about five feet long and the hilt was around 3 feet. It had a black sheath, a black-gold hilt, and a blue guard consisting of a circle with multiple dragons in the middle. It also now came with a sageo that was blue with gold accents around it, making it now look like an actual old-school Katana.
As Koga slowly unsheathed it, lightning crackled on the blade, heavily illuminating the surrounding space.
Koga frantically sheathed it again and breathed a sigh of relief as he braced himself on a corner of the cave, looking up at the ceiling. As he thought about what he was going to do next, he shattered the remains of the mouth mask on his face and looked down at his destroyed shihakusho.
"I wonder, should I remain a Shinigami, or should I remain by myself?"
