Notes:N I want to say beforehand that this is an M/M story so if you don´t like don´t read, okay? Also that ANY flaming will be erased and if you piss me off enough with flaming, it will be motive enough for blocking, saying that enjoy the story :) Beta'd by SophusMao. I don´t own Komamura (though I´d love to ;), or any of the characters of Bleach, or any of the terminology I may use of Final Fantasy, I merely take them on a creative stroll. I also think Komamura is largely forgotten and doesn´t receive enough love, that said; enjoy the story ;)

Chapter 2: Hellish Agony.

Seiretei, Gotei 13 th , 1 st Division Headquarters Komamura Sajin POV.

On our way to the meeting we met with Ukitake and Kyöraku, who were closely followed by Kuchiki Rukia and Ise Nanao, their respective Fukutaichö´s.

"Good morning, Komamura, how are you today?" asked Ukitake with that endearing caring way of his.

"Morning, Komamura" said Kyöraku with his characteristic easy smile and easy-going personality.

"Good morning Ukitake, Kyöraku, I am alright, how are you?" I answered them with a warm tone and a smile in my face.

"We´re both well, but can´t help what got Yama-jii so worked up, he´s not as young as he used to be" Said Kyöraku.

"Regardless, we have a meeting to go Kyöraku, you can make jokes later" Said Ukitake as we walked up to where the other Taichö´s were slowly coming in and gathering, waiting for the meeting to start. Our Sötaichö´s Fukutaichö Chöjirö Sasakibe signalled us to get to our places indicating that the meeting would start shortly. And that is when Yamamoto-sama came in and sat in his place.

"Good morning, today we have a matter of the utmost importance, reports have been coming in from the 12th Division concerning worrying amounts of Hollow sightings over the last four days. We do not know if this was something Aizen had planned beforehand or if this is a direct consequence of his actions in Hueco Mundo, regardless this needs to be taken care of. I will dispatch all Taichö´s and Fukutaichö´s except Unohana Retsu, Kotetsu Isane, Suì-F?ng, maeda Marechiyo, Kuchiki Byakuya, Zaraki Kempachi his Fukutaichö, 3rd seat and 5th seat who will remain here in guard duty" Said Yamamoto-sama.

"What? The rest goes to have fun while we´re stuck here? Why?" Zaraki protested, ever the petulant child.

"Silence! Those named will remain here, either in remain duty or because Unohana declared that there are some still wounded after the ordeal we all went through, those who I named are dismissed" Said Yamamoto-sama with a serious tone.

They left, and then Yamamoto-sama turned his attention to us with a determination and seriousness that was rarely seen.

"You will work in groups, each Taichö will take a small contingent of men, and leave the rest behind with the duties they already had. I will name a group of Taichö´s and any reinforcements they will take with them, as you know we still are in need of Taichö´s to fill in those vacant positions, so some of you will have additional company, those Fukutaichö´s will be under the commands of the Taichö´s you will be paired with, and after each group is named, their duties are stated, and their destination is told they will leave to fulfil their duty, they are to keep regular contact and to send in for reinforcements if necessary. Am I understood?"

"Yes, Sötaichö!" We all answered at unison. I think we could all see just how dire this situation was.

"The first group will be Taichö´s: Komamura Sajin, Ukitake Jüshirö, Kyöraku Shunsui. And Fukutaichö´s: Tetsuzaemon Iba, Kuckiki Rukia, Ise Nanao, Kira Izuru, and Hisagi Shühei, your destination is the United Kingdom, the Royal Forest of Dean, just south west of Gloucester" Said Yamamoto-sama.

"We have our duties gentlemen, we should get going" I announced, I received nods from Ukitake, Kyöraku, Hisagi, Kuchiki Rukia, and Ise Nanao, and affirmatives from the rest.

We left to get ready to each one´s Division headquarters, while Tetsuzaemon and I received detailed reports from our designated area to read and study, interesting area, secluded, though humans may use it to camp. We were destined to be dispatched in the late evening for convenience sake. There was less chance of humans getting in the way of any fighting that may occur.

According to the report we received, the weather conditions were less than desirable. Fog, not thick but not mist either, it could be an obstacle or an advantage.

Tetsuzaemon went to his quarters to get everything he needed after he read all the reports we were supplied by the 12 th Division. I went to mine to check on everything I needed to get ready and also to get my Zanpakutö Tenken.

Half an hour later all of us met in the Senkaimon (Which is the gate we use to go from the Seiretei to the human world), with our destination in mind we stepped through and made our way through the Dangai.

Human world, North West of United Kingdom, The Royal Forest of Dean, South West of Gloucester, Komamura Sajin POV:

We arrived at our destination, stood between high trees with soft moss benath our feet. It was beautiful as darkness began to settle over the forest, moonlight dappled through the leaves and reflected of the many rivers that fed the trees. The fog that the 12 th division had mentioned was lazily seeping through the trunks and boughs and curling around roots. It wasn't so bad that our vision was compromised.

While Tetsuzaemon, Ukitake, Kuchiki Rukia and Ise Nanao used their Denreishiki´s (as I was told once by Ukitake, it resembled to human Cellphones or Mobilephones, who by the way did liked human technology) the rest of us scouted the perimeter, but stayed close.

"Any luck finding the hollows?" Asked Kyöraku.

"Not for the moment" Answered Ukitake.

"Well, let us keep searching, they cannot have just vanished, the 12th Division report stated that in this area it was heavily infested with hollows" I said, something was really wrong here, there was no trace of the hollows, and the 12th Division rarely was wrong in their reports about hollow sightings.

"Will do, Taichö" Answered Tetsuzaemon briefly looked up to meet my eyes and was back to his task, dutiful as always.

We had been there getting more and more wary as minutes passed by, it has been almost 45 minutes since we arrived, and 5 minutes since we last sent a hell butterfly with a brief report back to Seiretei, when the Denreishiki´s went off indicating hollow presence nearby.

"We have company, Taichö´s, everyone get ready, we´re about to be outnumbered!" Yelled Tetsuzaemon, anxiety was thick in his voice.

"How many!? Where are they coming from!?" Yelled Kira Izuru as he peered through the many trees that surrounded us.

"The Denreishiki´s don´t work! Something is disrupting them, we have no way to know that, other than if we rely on our senses" Answered Kuchiki Rukia, already seemed to be focused on the coming battle. I have never said it but after Aizen´s betrayal, I had the opportunity to see her in action on a mission, and she surprised me. A thing that not many achieve.

"Remain calm! We will face this together! Focus! We need to be ready" Urged Ukitake.

"Calm yourselves, focus on your surroundings, form a defensive circle, back to back!" I urged, and we all did, while those anxious few took steadying breaths and got in position, we had a few moments before the hollows struck.

They completely surrounded us, from all the angles, the fog and the trees did not help much, and as consequence of that we were getting tired and we were getting injuries. Kyöraku had several bleeding wounds on his body, blood seeped through the fabric of his clothing. Ukitake seemed to be beyond exhausted and was coughing blood, fortunately not a lot of blood but still it was worrying. Kira and Hisagi were in similar states of exhaustion. Kuchiki Rukia had a few wounds on her upper arms and forehead and she looked as though she were about to fall unconscious from fatigue. I knew I looked worse, since none of us could separate, and I did not have the space to neither use my Shikai or Bankai. I was reduced to fight with my Zanpakutö in its sealed state. So the fight was much harder for all of us, we lost count of the hollows we had defeated. The sheer amount of them was preventing our efforts to contact the Seiretei to ask or reinforcements.

It could be said that we were on our knees on the floor, and that wasn't far from the truth. How long have we been fighting? 2 hours? 3? It was hard to tell. Our Denreishiki´s, if they were not damaged or destroyed by the fight, lay forgotten in our pockets.

It was in that moment of despair when we felt an immense reiatsu, coming from deeper in the wooded area, deeper in the maze of trees. It was a heavy feeling, almost crushing, but not threatening. It was very similar to Kurosaki Ichigo's, though it felt off, where Kurosaki was raw and unrestrained, uncontrolled, powerful and potentially dangerous, this one felt controlled and measured though it kept that air of power. I could see that the others felt it too, they were all looking to the area where the reiatsu came from, straining to see anything. A few of the hollow charged the area where the reiatsu approached, and it was approaching fast. It was almost here.

Hollows screamed as they were flung away from the source of power, their vanquished bodies landing several feet away from us. Their matter slowly vanishing as the owner of the reiatsu emerged from the trees.

Silver long hair that was swept back behind his ears and fell down his back as side-swept bangs falling over his eyebrows and blended into the hair that swept his collar bone, he had the most piercing dark emerald eyes I had ever seen, that told of an excellent intelligent mind behind them, snow white pale skin, clad in a ruby red shirt that was worn under a black and golden pinstriped vest under a long thin black coat that had steel shoulder-guards that reached to his ankles. Both shirt, vest and coat were open enough to show a tantalizing bit of his hairless chest as pale as the rest of him, which was followed by a very tight looking leather pants, paired with a brown leather belt, and black knee-high boots with high heels similar to those of the cowboy boots. He had a completely focused and serious expression, sharp eyes assessing, digesting and dissecting the battlefield... He was breathtakingly beautiful.

He had a nodachi as a weapon, it looked like a Zanpakutö, it surely felt like it. The cross-guard was very similar to my own except it looked like it had runes and looked more like a sand clock, and his blade was still sheathed. It looked like the sheath had ropes that were tied to the hilt and kept in place. He held it upside-down, holding it with the hilt pointing to the ground the blade was in his left hand.

Then he started a slow stroll his hair trailed behind him, being waved by the breeze, it was incredible how breathtakingly sexy and attractive he could look with the way he walked with that swaying of his hips, not exaggerated but not avoided either, just the exact just amount of it, and at the same time look so serious, focused, and dangerous. Then he chuckled. I saw that Tetsuzaemon was recording this entire thing with his Denreishiki.
