11 The Quincies

(Genryujin's POV)

"What business do you have with the Ishida Estate?" Masaki asked me as she walked me towards the entrance

"You're not an Ishida, it doesn't concern you." I said seriously

"You are a Quincy, though." I thought to myself

"Well, Ryuken-chan is busy, he's the Head's son…." Masaki said, "Lady Ishi-"

"Masaki!" I heard a woman's voice yell, "Come inside this instance!! How dare you bring strangers to our home!!"

As the gates opened, I saw a black-haired Quincy woman standing there with a serious scowl.

"Ah, M'Lady…" Masaki said, "This man has-"

"In. Now." The woman said

Masaki bowed slightly and walked past her and made her way inside.

The woman then looked at me with a serious face.

"Shinigami." She said with a serious tone, "Have you come here to bring trouble?"

I tilted my head, "Hm…." I said

I wasn't surprised that she could tell I am a shinigami in a Gigai. The little amount of Reiatsu this Gigai let out was more than enough to let her know.

"Answer me." She said, "Otherwise I'll take you as a hostile threat."

"Where's your Husband." I said, "I wish to speak with your leader."

Her eye twitched, "He's not present." She said, "I am in charge."

I nodded, "Very well." I said as I paced around in front of her, "Your name is Ishida?"

"That is correct." The woman said

Ishida, that named belonged to a Quincy I fought long ago. Perhaps this Family is what descended from his line.

I stopped, "A descendant of Ryoma Ishida perhaps?" I said as I looked at her

She widened her eyes, "H-How did-"

"I take it you're not his descendant." I cut her off, "Your Husband perhaps. But not you. Ryoma was a mighty warrior, I didn't know he had children when I fought him….."

I then gave her a serious look. 

"And slayed him…."

She then began to slightly tremble, "Y-You're…."

"The Sword God." I heard a voice behind me

I turned to see a man walking up to me, he was a bit short and had glasses on. He was a Quincy, perhaps the leader.

"Soken!" The Woman said

"Wife. Go back inside." The man said, "I'll handle this."

"O-Okay…" she said

I looked at him, "Hmm…." i said, "For Ryoma's descendant, you're quite short."

"You're taller than I imagined, the infamous Quincy-Slayer." He said

"You're the Head of this House?" I said

"We are no danger to Soul Society." He said as he walked past me, "If that's what bothers you."

"Hm." I said

"We have no affiliation with him." He said

"You say that." I said, "But You are Quincy. Like it or not, You are connected."

"That may be the case." He said, "But for you to walk to my home unnannounced…."

"I won't kill anyone." I said, "Not unless I confirm whether or not you're a threat."

"We are not. We haven't bothered anyone." He told me as he gave me a serious look, "If the Gotei 13 deemed us as a threat, they would've killed us by now."

I raised an eyebrow, "They know of you?"

"They have." He said, "For a while. The leader at least."

"Gramps?" I thought to myself, "He knew of this?"

I didn't know what to think. Quincies of all things should not be left to run amok. They once tried to disbalance everything, going on a crusade to eradicate all Hollows and even invaded Soul Society to exterminate the Shinigami.

Its hard to imagine a group of Quincies are just peaceful. Maybe he's right, maybe they pose no threat. If they did, Gramps would've had them killed by now. But that doesn't make things better.

"Hm…." I said, "Okay….."

"Don't get me wrong, Sword Go-"

"Genryujin." I said, "That's my name."

"Genryu..." he said before narrowing his eyes, "Ah….I see…..The stories of my ancestor being slain by the legendary Sword God….I didn't expect them to separate your moniker from you. Yamamoto Shikei Genryujin."

"You called me the Quincy Killer, I thought you knew." I said crossing my arms

"The Sword God was known as the bane of Quincies, a man who rose above all Shingami in terms of swordsmanship. He happened to be on the opposite side of the ancient war and slayed many of our kind." He said, "Yamamoto Genryujin, however, is known as a brutal and bloodlusted force of nature. He was so brutal in killing my kind that he was known as Shikei, the Death Penalty. Any Quincy captured would be sentenced to you, the Executioner."

"I don't understand how you would separate the two. It was still me." I said, "But forget that. You have my warning, Soken Ishida. If I deem you and your family a threat to the balance of this world; I will not hesitate to slay you."

"You have my word, Shikei." He said with a hint of distaste, "That would never come to be."

"I hope so." I said, "For your sake."

"Hmmm…." he said

I then turned to my left, "And as for you, Girl…" I said, "Next time you eavesdrop, it won't end well."

"Ah!" A voice said from atop of the wall

"Masaki." Soken said, "Go back inside before my wife finds out."

"Sorry!" I heard the girl say as she jumped away

"That girl." He said, "Such a handful."

"She's to be my daughter-in-law."
