Chapter 4: (〜￣△￣)〜

Night...

"You guys, you finally arrived." Sagiri smiled when she saw Alex, Emi, Alice, and Suzuno walking towards their house.

Sagiri looked around with a confused expression before turning towards Alex, "I thought you brought Genshiro with you? Where is he?"

Alex scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, "Ah, him, well, I figured that he was no use in this meeting so we just left him in the village, the festival will keep him entertained for awhile."

Sagiri blinks her eyes in shock, before shaking her head and gave a wry smile. Only Alexander can treat a god like Genshiro as if he was treating a pet.

"...Ah, let's go, my grandfather is waiting for you. Don't worry, the meeting won't last long, you can enjoy the festival soon after."

They nodded and followed behind Sagiri, with Suzuno looking around the place in excitement. Her excitement seems to be at the same level as when they visit Kyoto.

Alex couldn't help but wonder just how rich the Ameno family is, this place was so huge! Not only that, the Spiritual Energy here is too thick, making it easier to recover and train Spiritual Power.

He also found out that this mansion acts like a barrier to prevent the evil spirits in the mountains from coming down. This might be the reason why the Ameno did not live inside a Sub-space or even moved to the Gotei 13.

They are guarding this place.

After awhile, Sagiri finally stopped in front of a door as she knocked, "Ojii-sama, Obaa-sama, Alexander and the other guest has arrived."

There was silence for a few seconds before a voice of an old man was heard, "Let them in."

Sagiri looked at them for a bit before sliding open the door, before walking in. Alex and the others followed her in.

The room was large, but lit up only by a lamp in the middle of the room. With several people sitting beside it, each having the power of a transcendental.

Alex was a bit surprised when he saw them, but not because of their strength, but because he was familiar with them, especially that short, purple haired, dark skinned girl grinning at him.

On the center, there was an old man with a long beard. Despite looking fragile and old, he releases a pressure that would surely make ordinary people froze in fear.

'..200...no, 300 million. This old man is as strong as Emi at full power. But that was just in Energy, I don't know if he can beat Emi..'

The old man also observed Alex, his eyes released a glint, he was surprised that he couldn't detect anything from this young man, it was as if he was just an ordinary human.

'...interesting.'

The old woman, Shigure Ameno, who was sitting beside the old man just smiled as she observed Alex.

"Welcome, Alexander Gremory..." Shigure said as she motioned them to sit down, "...or should I call you Demon King?"

Alex shrugs as he sat down, "You can call me whatever you like, though I still preferred to be called by my name."

"Alexander then."

Alex nodded.

The old man hummed softly, as the room grew quiet. Noticing this, he nodded before looking at Alex, "I'm Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Captain of 1st Division, and Captain Commander of Gotei 13, and these are the other captains. Its nice to meet you young man."

The familiar purple haired girl took this chance to introduce herself, "Yoruichi Shihoin, Captain of 2nd Division, and the current Head of Shihoin clan."

She sent a wink at Alex, only to receive a glare from Emi, but she just grinned at her. Oh she's really going to enjoy teasing this girl.

Next to introduced herself is a beautiful mature woman that gives off a peaceful aura, but Alex knew she was far from that.

"Unohana Retsu, Captain of the 4th Division. A pleasure to meet you," she smiled at him.

And Alex knew it was far from friendly, but not hostile either. With a glance, Alex could tell that this woman couldn't wait to pull out her sword and fight him. And base on her spiritual power, this woman is stronger than even Ashiya.

But, if it really comes to fight, Alex was sure that Ashiya will win. Not to mention his ridiculous defense and telekinesis, Ashiya has been fighting all his life in the Demon World for over 1500 years.

And unlike in the anime, the Gotei 13 are flesh and blood humans and not a soul. They are even younger than him.

Next to introduce himself is a calm looking young man with long black hair, "Byakuya Kuchiki, Head of the Kuchiki Clan, and Captain of 6th Division."

Next was a youkai with a wolf-like appearance, a werewolf to be exact. "Sajin Komamora, Captain of the 7th Division."

Next to introduce is a middle aged man wearing a pink haori with a straw hat, he gives off a lazy and laid back aura, "Shinsui Kyoraku, captain of 8th division."

Next is a young man with white hair and around 13-14 years of age, "Toshiro Hitsugaya, Captain of 10th Division."

He was then followed by a large man with pointed hair with bells attached to it, he was grinning from ear to ear while looking at Alex.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain of 11th Division," he paused for a bit before releasing his Spiritual Power, causing the room to tremble, "Want to fight?"

Everyone in the room are strong enough to handle this, except for Sagiri, but for some reason she doesn't feel anything.

Alex still hasn't told her about the ring that protects her from mental and soul attacks. So she was confused.

Alex just smiled and looked at Kenpachi, "....You'll die."

The instant he said that, the pressure vanished as the room grew cold. The captains were tensed, and became uncomfortable, except for Unohana who almost couldn't stop her bloodlust from leaking, this...this just excites her.

As for Yoruichi, she already knew how strong Alex is, so she wasn't really affected by this that much.

Kenpachi lost his grin for moment before laughing, "HAHAHAHA! Interesting! Interesting! Let's test that later. Injuries and Death are worth it if I can have a good fight! HAHAHA!"

After that, a strange atmosphere was formed, the one beside Kenpachi finally couldn't take it and decided to break the ice.

"Kisuke Urahara, captain of 12th Division, its nice to meet you." He introduced himself with a large smile while holding a fan.

Then, a last one to introduce himself is a sickly looking handsome man with long white hair, "Jushiro Ukitake, its nice to meet you."

Alex looked around and decided to introduce himself, "Alexander Gremory, and this little girl here is my daughter, Alice Gremory..."

Alice smiled bowed her head to greet them, her mama taught her that.

"And this is—"

"Emi Yusa, I'm this girl's mother." Emi cut Alex off introduce herself. Alex just raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything, he just proceed to introduce the next girl beside him.

"And this is Suzuno Kamazuki, a friend of mine."

Suzuno gave a light nod, looking calm and composed. She wasn't really a stranger to meetings like this, and she knew how to suppress her excitement.

Genryusai nodded, "Now that the introductions are done, let's get to the matter at hand. As you can see, we are missing a few Captains...that's because they have betrayed us."

--------------------------------------

Hibari can be seen walking around the village alone, looking at the ground with lonely look.

'Hibari actually wanted to look around the festival with Sagiri and the others...but..but...' Her lonely look changed into frustration, 'Hibari couldn't believe that Sagiri could get ahead of Hibari even in matters about love!'

She paused and looked at the sky, 'Right, there is that meeting with the Gotei 13 as well. But Hibari couldn't attend it because its a matter regarding the Main House...even if Hibari is Sagiri's cousin.'

"Hey~ that missy over there~"

"Hey, that chick over there."

Hibari turned around and saw two men calling at her. First is a man with blonde hair, wearing an expensive clothes. He looks like a rich second generation fuck boy.

The other is a bald and muscular man who looks like he is from a gang, he was wearing a simple jeans and a black tank top.

"Huh? Go away you little punk, I was the one to talk to this girl first." The bald man glared at the blonde.

The blonde just smirked and glared back, "Huh? You go away baldy, with that ugly face of yours even a monkey won't find you appealing. Hey missy~ tell this dude to go away, you should know that I'm the better option right?"

"The fuck did you say?!"

Hibari took a step in confusion, 'Wh-What is going...on? Right! The Festival! During this festival every Chuuma Ninja gathers, and many male Spiritual Ability users go here to find a suitable wife with strong Spiritual Powers...this..this is a hunting ground for marriage proposals!'

Hibari quickly tried to run away, "A-Ah, you see Hibari doesn't have the time today so Hibari will go now.."

"Don't run!"

"Stay!"

Both men summoned a rope made of Spiritual Energy and tied Hibari in the air, making her unable to move.

Even as a Chuunin, Hibari couldn't find herself able to break free. This could only mean that their Spiritual Powers are higher than even hers.

Thinking about that, she couldn't help but turned fearful.

The blonde smirk and faced the bald, "Well, well, looks like you're quite strong, I guess I'll be able to enjoy myself."

The blonde then summon a katana. Different from Gotei 13's Spiritual Weapons, this weapon is just ordinary weapon made by Spirit Energy without any special ability.

The bald also smirked and summoned a spear, "I can say the same thing to you. Its been awhile since I've seen someone who can keep up with me. Now then, let's battle, the winner will marry this girl."

"Just as I wished!"

"Marry?!" Hibari blushed, even though she was complaining about being behind Sagiri in matters related to love, she doesn't want to marry someone this early.

The bald grinned, "One attack, let's end this in one attack! Ultimate Technique!"

The blonde followed, "Very well, in every person I've faced before, you are the first one to make me this excited. I, Damara, declare you the strongest!"

"Wait! Wait!" Hibari cried out, "Don't just go around and decide everything on your own! Hey! Hey!!!"

The blonde coated his katana with flames, "VOLCANO ZAPPAAA! HAAAAAA!"

The bald coated his spear with lightning, "BLUE DRAGON'S THUNDER PIERCE! RAAAAAAHH!"

Hibari closes her eyes, "Someone! Please save me!"

At that moment, before the blonde and the bald's attack met, a man suddenly appeared between them and stopped their attacks with a finger.

"Huh?"

"What the-?"

Hibari opened her eyes as she blushed, she saw a handsome young man, with dark skin, and long black hair wearing a black kimono, stopping the blond and the bald.

The young man grinned, "That is not how you treat ladies you know. If boss was here you would experience his Demon King Harassment 101."

"Move away bastard!"

"Don't get involve in other people's fight!"

The young man ignored them and moved, he was so fast that the two men did not even have time to react before their head was buried in the ground, they fell unconscious.

The rope that bounded Hibari vanished as she fell, but the young man moved fast enough to catch her.

"Young miss, are you fine?" The young man asked with a smile.

Hibari blinks, she couldn't take her eyes off of him, and she could only nod without saying anything.

"That's good," the young man nodded, "By the way, may I ask your name?"

That seems to snap Hibari out of her thoughts, "N-Name? Uh, H-Hibari, Hibari Ameno."

"Ameno?" The young man raised an eyebrow before he grinned, "Nice to meet you, I'm Genshiro Ryuuga."

Hibari could only stare at him in a daze.

Love stories, they just starts off so suddenly and unexpectedly yeah?
