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.

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...
