Xiaoyu stood out within one of the outer districts of the Rukongai. She had been sent out here by one of the fukotaicho of the Gobantai. It had only been about half a century since she had left the Academy and instead of trying to impress her superiors she was just trying to make due. As the days and years passed she had been communicating with Taifuu rather regularly in the last few years especially after he had saved her life from the hollow who had killed her closest friend and love.
Unease had spread through the blue haired woman as she had not really gotten all that used to the missions as she was to have them. Alone and afraid as she walked along though her outward demeanor was one of a cool confidence. Her mission while out in this area was to seek out a particularly strong signature of reishi.
The people of the area spoke of a ‘Kenpachi’ in their midst. The sheer mention of such a title made her shake a little as those who claimed such a title where master swordsmen and women. Their reiatsu where always massive and usually could not be beaten in an easy manner. She had been practicing on some of the higher bakoudou kidoushi’s as she knew that this mission might come down to her being able to restrain them. Making it to an area where this ‘Kenpachi’ was supposedly living she noticed a few dwellings. Approaching them she spoke up loudly.
“Kenapchi. The Gotei Thirteen have been alerted to your presence. I have been sent to bring you into the fold. As you have been asked to come into our ranks.”
Her words belied the strength that she would exhibit some five centuries later when she led the Gotei but on this day there was little strength behind it. After she spoke a trio of rough men appeared from the dwellings and towered over the diminutive Xiaoyu. Taking a breath she looked up at them. The tallest man at the back who looked more like a bandit than a noble Kenpachi as those of the district had been describing the local hero as.
“Oi… I be the Kenpachi you are looking for missy. You look the part of the Gotei, but you have no strength and look like a pretty twig.”
Unease spread across Xiaoyu’s face and in her gut she had a terrible feeling that something bad was going to happen. Taking in a deep breath she looked at the trio and spoke.
“I am here to extend to you the invitation for you good sir to join and become one of the ranks of the Gotei. It will benefit you and us greatly to take us up on the off…”
Her words where cut off as the two lackeys of the man grabbed her and covered her mouth with their large hands. Holding her up in the air so that the ‘Kenpachi’ could get a good look at her as he circled around her. He grabbed Taifuu and tossed it aside having it stab into the dirt some yards away from her. Speaking up in his rough and gruff voice.
“Nah I do not think I will be taking up the Gotei on their offer. Instead I think I will take what I want. As I do from the people of the neighboring districts who fear the name Kenpachi. Around these parts they are not afraid of the name so I remain hidden. So I think you my small shinigami friend. I think you are going to be busy with the three of us until we throw your body into the river and blame this districts pink haired kenapchi for your death.”
Fear filled Xiaoyu’s eyes as she was held in place by the men as she knew what these gruff men wanted from her and she felt that her size which usually a great advantage was now her greatest weakness as her physical strength meant she could do nothing to stop what they had planned for her.
