98 98. Down but not out.

Unohana was a bit dazzled when they arrived in a completely new area filled with things she had never seen before.

"Where are we?" She asks.

"Karakura town about 2004. So a couple hundred years in the future but in an alternative time line." I explain spreading out my senses.

"Why here?"

"Ah in the future of soul society Sosuke Aizen betrays quite a few people, his Zanpakuto has the ability to completely hypnotize anyone who sees it. All 5 senses and its permanent unless you touch his blade." I find the people I was looking for and we start moving in that general direction.

"You were the reason Lieutenant Aizen lost his Zanpakuto." She realizes.

"Yes, I technically stole his Zanpakuto." i admit.

Kyoka appears. "I am grateful that you did so even if i do not remember it." She says with a happy smile.

Unohana looks confused. "She is his Zanpakuto?"

"Was and Yes, I have 3 other Zanpakuto that didn't originally belong to me. One from the sealed Koga Kuchiki, One from the future, and One from Aizen." Unohana puts on a thoughtful face.

"Koga Kuchiki I remember him he was sealed here correct? Didn't they erase the records of him?" She asks.

"They did but that means little to me." I grin at her.

We make our way towards a grubby looking candy shop hidden in an alley.

"Where are we going?" Unohana asks.

"To see some old friends I'm sure you will recognize." I tell her before making our way into the shop.

"Hello how may i....? Captain Unohana?" Kisuke says entering the room and looking confused.

Unohana gives me a look. "That would be former Captain Unohana." She says.

"Oh?"

"She is from an alternative universe about 400 years in the past." I tell the blonde picking up some taffy and examining it before popping it into my mouth.

Kisuke raises an eyebrow curiously. "Please explain, Tessai could you get us some tea." he says offering us a seat. "And who might you be?"

"Ryan Grim, former captain of squad 2. However I was framed by the fat nobles of central 46 because I was building orchards, houses and other things in Rukongai. Cut into their profits so they said I was starting a rebellion." I show basically a recording showing off the entire trial as he watches curiously.

"Yeah, that seems about right." Kisuke nods. "Might I ask what this was about you killing bandits and kidnapping children?"

"They were actual bandits, checked via memory Kido. As for the children they were all orphans I had picked up and adopted into my territory, I was teaching them modern schooling seems the other nobles used it against me." I shrug popping more candy into my mouth.

"I can indeed see how they would have a problem with that. So may I ask why you are here?" Kisuke questions.

Even Unohana looks at me curiously.

"Recruiting obviously. I know all about what went down with you guys and Aizen, how central 46 screwed you all over. All the little juicy details. Its almost like brothers in betrayal except you were actually experimenting with hollows and got framed." I laugh.

His face turns serious at this.

"How much do you know?"

"Hogyoku, Visoreds, All of it. Right now I'm just here to watch the show and make offers." I tell him.

"And you just expect me to believe this story?" he questions grabbing his cane.

"Eh I don't really care what you do. Recently I'm out of a job so I've got all the time in the world to watch the fun. Besides my little Unohana over there isn't as peaceful as this worlds Unohana I'm sure she would love a spar if you keep looking at me like that." I point out.

Kisuke glances at Unohana who is smiling sweetly and shivers. "Fair enough." he sips his tea.

"So how much research you done on the visoreds? You know the stronger their hollow side gets the more abilities they unlock even up to a second kind of zanpakuto." I ask.

"What is a Visored?" Unohana asks.

"Basically a soul reaper who was infected with hollow abilities. They can form a hollow mask and gain hollow abilities." I explain.

"Oh? Like that mask I saw you wearing?" Unohana says.

I put on my mask. "Exactly like the mask I'm wearing. Currently I've unlocked the ability to use Cero, Sonido, Garganta, Grand Rey Cero, Bala, And my second weapon." I show the book.

"Really? Fascinating the Visoreds I know only can use Cero." Kisuke says with interest.

"Well the hollow half grows like a normal hollow, so they might have Gillian level hollows unlocking Cero. There is still adjucas then vasto lorde form." I explain popping off my mask.

There was a little bit of questioning after that with Unohana asking some thing followed by Kisuke.

"So how did you become captain of the second squad?" Kisuke asks.

"Yoruichi tricked me, I beat her in a fight in front of the entire squad which was supposed to be a spar and she passed it off onto me because she didn't do like 3 years of paperwork and just wanted to be lazy." I frown.

"Seems like something I would do." A Male voice says as a black cat appears in the room.

I give the cat the stink eye before going back to munching on candy.

At least Unohana sought me out after the trial, Yoruichi didn't even try nor did the others. I mean I let out my Reitsu so they could find me but still only Unohana came the rest ignored it.

"What's your problem?" She asks.

"Well technically it's been about 30 minutes for my since I was abandoned by my 'friends' at trial sooo." I snark still a bit sour.

"Why aren't you mad at him then, he was there too?" The cat asked.

"He wasn't my friend. You were supposed to be." I snap back.

The cat just makes a shrugging motion before sitting near the table. "It wasn't me so I see no reason why you should be angry at me."

"Tch." I just ignore the cat before turning back to the candy.

"Are you planning to pay for those?" Kisuke asks.

A bar of gold drops on his head.
