Sonata of the Storm in its entirety, future chapters

Continuation of the first post.

Part of a future chapter I planned after chapter ten in which the news about Matsuo Keiji

(Insert chapter beginning here, probably after Yamamoto forms a meeting about the orders they are given to handle the Matsuo Keiji situation -although I don't remember if I was going to have him break into Seireitei or not. But the point is, I was not going to add this right after that part as I wanted this to take place near the climax of the story, and you will find out why in a bit)

The troubled look on his face showed countless sleepless nights he'd spent worrying. The frown lines on his face were deep set, revealing the intense amount of pain the captain had been feeling. Matsuo Keiji... Just what did he intend on doing with Sayuri? He couldn't let her face him. It was exactly what Matsuo wanted. The moment Sayuri found Matsuo, he would have her in the palm of his hand, right where he wanted her. Toshiro knew all of this, but Sayuri, being brash, illogical, and stubborn, would not believe it until it actually happened –maybe even at the cost of her own life. Toshiro cringed at the thought of living without her. His thoughts became preoccupied with trying to find a way to prevent it from happening. When his restless mind finally brought him to the point of exhaustion, he came to the conclusion that there was only one way to keep his greatest fear from coming true.

.

“I forbid you from fighting in the upcoming battle.”

Sayuri sneered and felt the anger begin to well up inside her. “You WHAT?!”

“You heard me,” Toshiro said, a forlorn expression spreading its way across his face. “I forbid you to fight.”

And with that, the sparks began to fly. Anger, disbelief, confusion, betrayal –no amount of words could begin to express the intensity of the mix of emotions Sayuri felt at that moment. The same words plagued her mind over and over, the little voice at the back of her mind nagging at her and making the feelings well up inside of her. “He thinks you're weak,” she repeated to herself. “He doesn't believe in you. He doesn't trust your ability. He thinks you're pathetic.”

Sayuri clenched her fists until her fingernails cut into the palms of her hands. She looked down at her feet to keep him from seeing the tears that began to form in her chocolate brown eyes, and her shoulders tensed.

From there it was going to lead into a big fight that Sayuri and Toshiro had, where it made Sayuri be quite rash and willingly leave to go fight (or possibly just confront?) Matsuo himself. Which inevitably leads to her "capture." And then to Yamamoto branding her a traitor and ordering her execution. (Think of it as similar to Hitsugaya's conflict in The Diamond Dust Rebellion) Since Yamamoto knows of Matsuo's zanpakuto, I doubt I would have made Matsuo frame Sayuri after acquiring her, but it would have been a bit so that Yamamoto could not tell the difference between their attacks.

The big quote I was intending on putting in that particular part was "Kurosaki Sayuri must be executed." Or something to that extent. And then to the ending of the plot outline I posted in the previous post.

And onto this epilogue.

    "Mommy! Mommy, Kyo hit me!" a small, orange-haired boy cried. Sayuri looked up from her paperwork at the small child.
    "Come here, Kosuke," she said. The boy quickly jumped in his mother's lap. Sayuri wiped the tears from his cheeks and took his small shoulders in his hands. "You can't start crying every time Kyoko hits you." Kosuke saw his older, white-haired sister pull down her eyelid and stick her tongue out at him. Sayuri turned her attention to her and chuckled. "You shouldn't beat up on your brother either, Kyo. How would you like it if he beat you up all the time?"
    Kyoko crossed her arms and frowned. "He could beat me up if he wasn't so small!" Then she felt two warm hands wrap around her arms and hoist her up into the air.
    "And what's so bad about being small, Little Miss Snow White?" Toshiro chuckled.
    "Daddy!" she cried with joy and flung her arms around his neck. Kosuke also squealed in delight before jumping off Sayuri's lap and clinging to his father's waist. Sayuri laughed at the two children hanging on Toshiro. The young man hugged them both before setting them back on the ground and bending over to kiss his wife.
    "Eww!! Mommy and Daddy are kissing again!" Kosuke said. The two captains just laughed.
    "Matsumoto gave me this." Toshiro held out a white slip of paper with sloppy handwriting. It smelled strongly of sake and read, "Happy 5th anniversary, Taichou! This coupon is worth one night of free babysitting service. Go have fun tonight! -Matsumoto ♥"
    "That was really nice of her," Sayuri said. "Why don't you two get your coats on and we'll drop you off at Aunt Rangiku's and Uncle Shuuhei's house."
    Toshiro handed them both their winter coats and little snow boots. Kyoko hurried to get her winter gear on, while Kosuke made a face at the thought of going out in the freezing cold. "I don't wanna go outside! It's too cold!" he tugged on Sayuri's sleeve. His sister hit him upside the head and glared at him with her big, turquoise eyes.
    "That's just stupid! The snow is fun to play in, but you don't even like getting your feet cold," she said. Kosuke's chocolate brown eyes began to water, but before he could say anything, Toshiro bent down to his eye level and hushed him.
    "You won't have to be outside for that long, buddy. You'll be at Aunt Rangiku's soon enough," he said. The small boy giggled and quickly finished putting his coat and boots on. Both Shinigami kneeled down and let the kids climb onto their backs, then shunpoed to Matsumoto's. The busty Shinigami opened the door with a big grin on her face.
    "Chibi-suke! Kyo-chan!" she squealed and embraced the two in suffocating hugs. She paid no mind to them flailing their arms about in panic. [1]
    "Matsumoto! Don't kill my children!" Toshiro said. She immediately obeyed and let them go.
    "I'm sorry, Taichou! I didn't mean to!" she said frantically. Sayuri shook her head and prayed that she didn't come home to two strangled kids.
    "Is Shuuhei here to supervise?" she said. It would have been preferable if Matsumoto's more responsible boyfriend had been around to help her.
    "He's finishing up some paperwork right now, but he said he'd be home from his office in a couple hours," Matsumoto said cheerfully. "I'm guessing you're going to stay out late tonight, so the little runts can just stay here tonight."
    "Thanks a bunch, Matsumoto," Sayuri said.
    "No problem, Sayu-chan!"
    After they said their goodbyes, Toshiro put his arm around his wife's waist and his chin on the top of her head. "Did you have anywhere specific you wanted to go tonight?" he said.
    Sayuri hugged him back and said, "Let's go to our spot."
    The young captain picked her up, shunpoed to the garden of cherry blossom trees, and sat her down in the gazebo he proposed to in her five years ago. Toshiro sat down next to her and pulled her in his lap. "Happy anniversary, Sayuri. I love you," he said. He moved her hair out of her eyes and caressed her cheek.
    "I love you, too. Happy anniversary." Their faces inched closer together, and the couple closed their eyes as their lips brushed against each other. Sayuri melted in his arms and forgot all her troubles. Nothing else in the world mattered except that moment.

Ending Theme: Halo by Beyoncé

Credits.

Sayuri, Mitsuki, Tatsuya, Kanai, Nariko, Matsuo, Kosuke, and Kyoko are my creations and are not part of the actual Bleach universe.
1. Chibi-suke- I don't have the literal translation, but "chibi" means small, and "suke" is a masculine ending, so it roughly translates to "little man."

I was planning on editing that, but had not got around to it. I was probably going to enhance the ending scene more.

I believe there were some back stories I wanted to create for Mitsuki, Tatsuya, and their former captain (was his name Akira? I don't remember.)

I might post more about this later. Sorry for the inconveniences I've caused you all, in redirecting you to so many more places...

Sonata of the Storm in its entirety.

Well, here it is. Character backgrounds, story plots, what I wanted to write and to achieve, the epilogue. Everything. It will most likely take place over the course of one or more entries. Although I was a bit concerned that revealing all of this might give someone incentive to take the finishing of the story into their own hands, but since then I do not care as much as I did before. I don't want to be credited with it anymore, even though it was my idea. I'm not necessarily encouraging it, and would rather prefer that people did not take it and try to finish it, but there is nothing that I can do about it.

For your appetizer, the biography of the main villain. (written before the plot summary, has yet to be edited so do not pay attention for contradictions it may have with the rest of these posts. things had not been organized when I decided to delete)

Matsuo Keiji- exiled Shinigami from 100 years ago.

zanpakuto: Raijin

Powers stripped by Yamamoto and sealed. some young boy with high reiatsu touches the tree that Matsuo was sealed in. sealed in Zaraki district. the boy takes off the barrier slips that immobilized Matsuo. he wants revenge.  (Still has Raijin, but no shikai) Master swordsman, goes on a killing spree in Rukongai and ends up obtaining the "seal of Raidon" (seal of the thunder god) from murdering an authority from one of the four noble families of Soul Society. Attacks Soul Society in the fourteenth division, and takes Sayuri. Threatens her with killing Toshiro and Ichigo. She struggled against him, but he threatened her and told her not to resist. Takes Sayuri to an abandoned cave like the one Yamamoto was in when Muramasa looked into his memories. Toshiro Ichigo and Mitsuki go to find her against Yamamoto's orders. (He told anyone who finds her to kill her- see trailer of DDR) Sayuri's bankai will be the trigger to activating the seal; power starts to unleash from it and restores Matsuo's powers to a greater extent. Becomes huge and jacked from the power of the seal of Raidon. Seireitei becomes enveloped in a web of electricity. Goes on a rampage killing Shinigami with single lightning strike. Sayuri and Toshiro work together (her bankai rains, the water helps Toshiro). Toshiro uses the really strong attack he used on Halibel on Matsuo. Freezes Matsuo in ryuusenka and Sayuri shatters him with a huge shockwave or lightning strike. (When Sayuri goes bankai, Toshiro can't get into the hurricane thing, but Sayuri lets him in through an opening and closes it.)

For the main course, the plot summary and motives

Matsuo's motives:

Matsuo had a lover, Sasaki Kaede. Kaede had bright green eyes, long brown hair, a low voice, and a crooked grin.

When Matsuo was a young Shinigami 3^rd seat in the 8^th division under Kyoraku, before Aizen yet still while the Vizard were there, Kaede was vice-captain of the 14^th division under Erizawa Akira, the former captain who was in charge of the division prior to Sayuri. Erizawa-taichou was a very loving person, much like Ukitake. He had mid-length, dull blonde hair (almost a tannish color), wore round glasses (I would call them spectacles almost), he was very observant, however he was very quiet about his observations. A very tactful captain. Older, kind to his subordinates, and very powerful, however he always refrained from violence if possible. [The present 14^th division members, Mitsuki and Tatsuya, absolutely adored him for the way he always joked around with them. He was very father-like and kept the squad together in the worst possible times.]

Kaede was Erizawa-taichou's vice-captain. Erizawa-taichou looked like Soubi from Loveless, for future reference.

Erizawa, unlike the rest of the Soul Society, trusted Kaede completely. He believed she was neither a threat nor capable of causing such harm to Soul Society. Kaede was a very smart girl in the academy, and her battle skills were exceptional. Soul Society saw Kaede as a threat, more like -Yamamoto saw Kaede as a threat, and that is why Matsuo hates him the most out of all of the people in Soul Society. So Kaede started to become shunned by some of her cohorts, and it made her more distant. Aizen used that to his advantage, so he started killing people (not when Shinji and them were banished from Soul Society) and made Yamamoto assume it was her, so Yamamoto had to strip her of her powers and locked her away in a chamber in Inuzuri (unbeknownst to Matsuo, but that is where he has been looking for her because he can sense extremely faint traces of her reiatsu) where she could slowly decay.

Matsuo retaliated against Yamamoto and directly attacked him. Even for a third seat he was incredibly strong, and no one besides Kaede ever knew that he had his bankai achieved. Very advanced in kidou, and not quite but close to par with Yamamoto's powers. And then Yamamoto locked away Matsuo in Zaraki to purposely keep him away from Kaede. Some little boy with intense reiatsu touched the tree that he was sealed away in, and Matsuo was freed. He would have aided in the destruction of Aizen, but by the time he was freed, Aizen was already dead, and Matsuo would have not been able to help because he spent the time from between the end of Breaking Through the Storm and the time up until the beginning of Sonata of the Storm recovering his powers. He found Kanai and Nariko slightly after he was unsealed from the tree, as Kanai is the one who touched it to unseal it. He took the two children in and became very attached to them. (Side note: Kanai and Nari are like brother and sister to each other, like Rukia and Renji's relationship)

Now that Sayuri is in Soul Society, and he is now aware of her zanpakuto's nature, he by chance found the person that is the other part to the “gift of life” (name pending), which is Sayuri. He wasn't planning on finding her and wasn't aware of her, but while he was killing the people in Zaraki at first but went unnoticed because -well, obviously, it's Zaraki. Then to Kusajishi, and then moving his way toward Inuzuri, gradually. He didn't start killing mass amounts of souls until he got more of his powers back and got to Inuzuri, where he found a special ops team and slaughtered them and got more powerful, giving some of the energy to Kanai and Nari. (This special ops team was the one that Tatsuya and Mitsuki were supposed to find) That is where he felt the faint traces of Kaede's reiatsu. Before he was just wandering around, not quite remembering what had happened to him, but remembering there was something very important he was forgetting and feeling very angry still, hence the killing, and then he remembered his hatred for Yamamoto. So he tried to find Aizen, and then thanks to Kanai's power of being able to “read minds” he was able to find out from a Shinigami he murdered that Aizen had been killed. Then he found out from an elder in Inuzuri about the “gift of life,” which is basically if the two twin zanpakuto of Raidon have their spirits reunited, by legend the power was said to be strong enough to undo even the worst damage possibly done to a soul. It won't restore Shinigami powers, but it can bring a soul back to life from near death. (Picturing Kaede as a wrinkled old woman now, even though she would still look quite young if it weren't for being sealed away) The elder told him if he had Raijin, then the other zanpakuto would most certainly be named Rai-Joshin. Matsuo spent months trying to find out who was the holder of the zanpakuto Rai-Joshin (Sayuri), and when he finally found out it was her, he plotted to get her to come to him so he could take her zanpakuto from her.

That's when Mitsuki and Tatsuya come into Inuzuri and the Hollow is crying out, looking for Sayuri. Then Matsuo retreats to the hideout he'd been staying in near the edge of Inuzuri since he remembered about Kaede. And then he goes to Zaraki to see if he can find any clues in the place where he was sealed as to how to free Kaede. But then the covert ops team came to Zaraki to investigate the intense amount of reiatsu and spiritual pressure disturbances in Zaraki, and they were heading closer and closer to the spot where he was sealed, so to keep them from seeing it so they wouldn't know it was him just yet, he slaughtered them all, which is where Ichigo and Toshiro's mission comes in. He finds out from Kanai about Yamamoto's current plans to have Ichigo and Toshiro go to Zaraki, where he was sealed but he doesn't want them to find out about him being freed. He does not kill either of them because he found out from Sayuri's memories of Toshiro that he can use them both as leverage.

Eventually, since he does not know exactly where in Inuzuri Kaede is located, Matsuo will eventually have to come to Seireitei and Kanai will have to “read his mind” to find the location of Kaede. Also, Matsuo also discovered Sayuri's location recently, seeing as Kanai was able to find her and invade her dreams.

Then the Soul Society finds out about Matsuo's sealing place being empty, and puts the entire Soul Society on alert. They are still unaware that Kaede was framed and that Matsuo was trying to get Sayuri for her zanpakuto, not just for no particular reason.

And then that's when the action kind of starts to kick in, because Matsuo comes to Seireitei and creeps into Sayuri's bedroom in the middle of the night and gives her 5 days to make up her mind whether she will come with him or not. About two chapters take place over those five days where the decision haunts her, and she becomes unreasonably distant from Toshiro. Her and Toshiro get into a big fight, and that's when Sayuri makes the mistake of going with Matsuo, not only because she is hurt that Toshiro would yell at her like that but she also wants to protect Toshiro and Ichigo at the same time. Then Yamamoto goes on with something about Sayuri being a traitor when they discover her missing, and since there was no sign of forced entry in her bed room, so she's wanted by the Soul Society, and it conflicts with Toshiro because he doesn't want to break the rules right then and there by ignoring Yamamoto's orders to find and execute Sayuri himself, but eventually his love for Sayuri is so much stronger than his compliance with the rules so he goes to find Sayuri giving Yamamoto the impression that he will kill her, but he in reality really won't.

Meanwhile Matsuo is trying to extract Sayuri's zanpakuto spirit, who has gone dormant to protect herself and Sayuri. He did not kill Sayuri or threaten to when he came to get her because that would have been useless to him as Rai-Joshin would have died if Sayuri had died. So he is trying to get Rai-Joshin to come out of her dormant state where he can reunite the two zanpakuto. When Toshiro comes and Sayuri sees that he is unharmed, Toshiro convinces her that she can take care of it in a way where she does not have to aid Matsuo, and she starts to help Toshiro who had started to attack Matsuo. But unfortunately when she releases her bankai, and strikes Matsuo with lightning while his own bankai is released, her zanpakuto gets reunited with Raijin, and she sees Rai-Joshin being, like, sucked out of her zanpakuto, and she loses her bankai ability. Just when Matsuo finds Kaede, he has her body laying on the ground and before he can put the small gold pebble like thing that is the “gift of life” that Raijin and Rai-Joshin formed, Sayuri tackles him to the ground and forces it into him, which since it reverses any effects done, it drains him of all his powers. The stone/pebble once forced into him, it shoots out of his body because his soul can't handle the amount of power it has on him. A ray of light shoots at him and drains all of his powers, but once it is finished draining him of his entire life, it splits apart because Raijin's half into the stone fades because his Shinigami is dead. Rai-Joshin returns to Sayuri's empty katana, which you can tell because it has a spark in it again.

[Yay we did it! ending chapters Yada yada yada....]

Ends with Toshiro holding Sayuri and he says how when Sayuri was gone and ordered to be executed, it made him realize just how important she was to him, and then proposes to her.

Then the epilogue I had planned.

(Give Ichigo a minor scene where he is horrified about having to kill his own twin sister)
