94 Siege on Kasumioji clan (1/2)

All Itsuki had to do was wait. Just because he had Eidetic memory didn't mean that he would know everything. He was just able to remember everything he saw. Currently, a few things had slipped his mind and Yamamoto ordering the siege of the Kasumioji manor was one of them. The old geezer already knew that there was something wrong with the clan and was just waiting for the right moment.

Sitting down on the Onmitsukido's commander in chief's seat, he took out his Kiseru and blew a smoke. He now went into his mind palace and started to binge watch the whole anime and he tried to remember the manga. He didn't use all his thought processes; some were still doing calculations while another took over and started to meditate. The hollow and the Sokyoku still hadn't fully merged and the process had started to slow down. It seemed that he was nearing a bottleneck.

As for remembering of the show, he remembered the canon but for the fillers, there were bits and bots he didn't remember no matter how much he tried.

'Shouldn't have constantly skipped ahead while pressing the right arrow button…'

For the manga, he had rushed through that and could barely remember small parts of it. While he was binge watching/reading, Soi Fon was out there contemplating on what Ichigo had said back at the Kasumioji manor. Plus, knowing Ichigo's true nature made her feel that something wasn't right. Looking in a certain direction, a sigh escaped her mouth before she returned in directing the search for Ichigo and co.

It wasn't until the next day when another announcement was made that shocked the Gotei 13. The order to capture Amagai Shusuke was given out,

”The captain has…”

”…joined with the substitute Shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo…”

The most shocked were the third squad as disbelief was present in their faces. They had sincerely hoped that this was the rise of them with their new captain, yet reality had just thrown them down a cliff. Also, their lieutenant and 3rd seat had gone missing and they were now just headless chickens, not knowing what to do.

Itsuki had remained in the same position since the day before as he received the occasional reports from either Yuki or Hinamori. Itsuki had just went through the whole show and was now just focusing on the current arc. He hated the fact that he could remember a scene and it would skip a part and it would change into another scene.

However, he felt that he was missing something. It wasn't until another announcement was made when he found what he was looking for. It was Ichigo's sane eyes behind a partially broken mask, they were yellow with a black sclera. Coming to a realisation, Itsuki felt that he was currently playing a connect the dots. He was at first surprised at seeing a new captain chosen so early but just attributed it to not knowing the plot clearly. However, seeing Ichigo in a sane hollow transformation, meant that the arc was supposed to occur after meeting with the visored.

But somehow, it had moved up and this was taking place even before Ichigo had met them. The only reason he could think of was him, he had strengthened the Onmitsukido which meant that Amagai had gotten stronger quicker and got the confidence to attack Yamamoto earlier. Still it seemed that due to this, the other events also hastened and Rurichiyo visited the living word earlier.

Opening his eyes, he saw Yuki and Hinamori standing there looking at him. Soi Fon wasn't there and it looked like the two were waiting for orders.

”Captain! The captain commander had issues orders to lay siege on the Kasumioji manor.”

”What do you want us to do?”

Itsuki got up as he cleared his kiseru and put it away. Walking forward, he gave out his orders,

”Tell the executive corps to engage the enemies with the other squads. The patrol corps would set up a perimeter surrounding the area in case there are no escapees. You two are in charge of guarding the Kasumioji clan's senkaimon and stop anyone that even approaches that place.”

Itsuki disappeared as soon as he gave out the orders. He also felt a familiar reiatsu enter soul society and direct Soi Fon along with Ukitake and Shunsui.

Outside the Kasumioji manor, Rukia and Rangiku along with the 10th division were holding of the Kasumioji clan's assassins. The opposite party were all wielding a Bakkoto and refused to go down. Their eyes glowed an unnatural gold and the reiatsu increased as they started losing their sanity. Before they even know it, the Bakkoto they wielded had completed taken over their minds and they lost all reasoning, attacking the closest Shinigami.

This caused the battlefield to descend into a stalemate as the Shinigami started getting tired out which made them more vulnerable to attacks. They started losing numbers while the assassins got up when they were struck and continued their assault.

Rangiku's face was covered in sweat as she held of an attack while her back was covered by Rukia, who was also in a similar position.

”Dammit, what's up with these guys?”

Rangiku grit her teeth as she struck down another assassin before being attacked by another. The former got up with its reiatsu increased and when in for another attack. They had been caught by surprise by the sudden ambush, who would've thought that the Kasumioji clan was hiding this type of force.

”We're not getting anywhere with this?”
