Hello everyone! The wait is over! The second story is out! This is the story that continues the first story I wrote of Bleach. If you read the author note from that story, you pretty much know what this story is. If not, I'll just say it here. This story is a sort of crossover of another story I'm writing on FictionPress, but I'll only put Bleach since it's not really a series or something. If you want to check it out to get some idea about the other story, I've written the name on the first story. Either way, I've been working and writing my hands off to get that story finished. It's weird how I'm still able to write. Also, I've seen the newest Bleach episodes, but I'll make up some new captains because I want to. Either way, let's not wait anymore and get this long waited story started!

Chapter 1: Darkness is Everywhere

Karin Kurosaki, a young 13 years old girl who lives Karakura town, was walking through the town. She had black hair tied in a small pony-tail at the back of her head and was wearing a blue and white sailor fuku, which was her school uniform. She didn't feel like changing. She was walking along the streets along with her brother, Ichigo Kurosaki, who was a Substitute Soul Reaper. He had spiky orange hair, tall and had sideburns. He was in his Soul Reaper form, which had changed in the last 17 months. First of all, it consists of a thicker strap across his chest. He also has four black vertical lines on his forearms and black, tattoo-like bands crossing over his chest, wrists, and ankles. Similar bands, but with white ends, are around his neck as collars. They were on their way to the Soul Society for Karin's training. 17 months ago, Karin was taken to the Soul Society by a man who wanted to kill her, Merlik. She had a Spirit, a being from a world and similar to a Zanpaktou, living within her. A flame Spirit called FlameWolf, a wolf of flames basically with burning eyes and three tails. She had been in the Soul Society to make sure she was safe, while finding out she was a Master. That's the name of the ones who have Spirit living inside of them. Her and two of her Soul Reaper friends, Toshiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto, were training along with the Captain of Squad 9, Alice Skysilver. She hadn't been able to train because Ichigo lost his powers 17 months ago. She had thought Ichigo was insane, thinking someone else was her brother and had even forgotten about FlameWolf. She wanted to get some training in from the long break, wanting to use FlameWolf again. They arrived at Kisuke Urahara place, the man who was going to help them into the Soul Society. They went down to the basement of his small shop, seeing him waiting for the two of them with a young woman named Yoruichi Shihouin. Kisuke was a tall and lean-built man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and blond, almost pale, with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes and chin stubble. He wore dark green shirt and pants, topped with a black coat with a white diamond pattern along its bottom half. The design of his coat is almost the opposite of a Captains haori. He was also carrying a fan which he sometimes uses to hide his face. He was wearing a pair of traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a striped-dark green and white bucket hat that usually shadows his eyes. Ichigo called him Mr. Hat and Clogs because of this. Yoruichi is a slender and dark-skinned woman of average height with golden-colored eyes and long purple hair that she keeps up in a ponytail. Her standard attire consists of a backless, black sleeveless undershirt, an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist, and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown colored shoes, allowing for stealth and easy use of Shunpo. Shunpo is a move both she and the Captain of Squad 2, Soi-Fon, is able to use. How it's used, Karin didn't know.

"Well, I see you two are ready to leave? Captain Skysilver is waiting for you along with Captain Hitsugaya." Kisuke said, the two nodding.

"Well, I guess I should come with you. Should I take you on my back or will Ichigo?" Yoruichi asked Karin.

"I'd rather you do it then Ichigo. He's to careless." Karin answered, making Ichigo huff.

"Then let's get going." she said, Karin jumping on her back. They went through the door, three Hell Butterflies with them. A Hell Butterfly was a messenger and is prof that people can travel through the Senkaimon. If you didn't have one with you, you would get a hard time getting through. They got through pretty easily, making Karin's impatient a bit more bearable. On the other side of the Senkaimon, Alice and Toshiro were waiting, like Kisuke had said. Toshiro was short and had short, spiky, white hair, which seemed to be brushed down after 17 months. Alice had talked to Momo and according to her, that is how he used to have his hair before he became a Soul Reaper turquoise eyes He was wearing a normal sleeveless Captain white haori and a normal Soul Reaper Kimono. He looked like the same age as Karin, but he was shorter then her. He was wearing a long, turquoise scarf. Karin recognized it, he used to have it as his Zanpaktou tied to. What he had now was a small chain, but the star-like shaped clip was still there. He was a Master as well, a Master of Time. His Spirit was called Timedrano, half dragon, half wolf. He had dragon wings and his front legs and a bit of his face and his left eye was dragon as well. While his body, tail, back legs and the rest of his face was of a wolf. Alice, the new Captain of Squad two, was from another world. In that world, being a Master was sort of normal. Alice had gotten taller and her hair wasn't in a tail anymore, so you could see how long it was. She still had ice blue eyes and still had the bluish gloves on. Her Kimono was a normal Soul Reaper Kimono. She used to be a master, and she kinda still was. When she was home in her own world, she was the Master of two Spirits. One of them had become her Zanpaktou. But she still had the other one, but her powers had gone completely when she came here the first time she was here. But she had slowly recovered them.

Her Zanpaktou was strapped to her back by a long, blue scarf.

"Hello, Karin. Nice to see you again!" Alice smiled at her. Karin smiled back, Toshiro smiling as well. Ichigo noticed it, making him a bit annoyed. Toshiro felt his anger growing, sweat dropping.
"Is something wrong, Ichigo Kurosaki?" he asked. Ichigo just looked at him weird, making him a bit scared. Karin heard him groaning and looked over at him.

Ichigo, please stop. You're annoying." Karin said, Ichigo focusing on her now.

"It's not me." he said, defending himself.

"How about, I'll get their training under way and you can go and and meet the new Captains." Alice said. They all agreed on that, Toshiro and Karin following Alice and Ichigo went over to Squad 6. He ran into the Lieutenant of Squad 10, Rangiku Matsumoto. She was also a Master, like Karin and Toshiro. Her wary blond hair was shorter now then it was 17 months ago, stopping short at her shoulders. It was also curling near her chin. The left side of it hangs over her face. She had blue eyes, full lips and a beauty mark located under the right side of her mouth. Her Soul Reaper uniform is normal, but she lets her robes hang loose for her ample bosom to be revealed. She wears a thin golden necklace tucked between her cleavage and a long pink scarf over her shoulders

"Hi, Ichigo! What's up?" she asked, Ichigo holding up a hand in greeting.

"I was going to see the new Captains. You know where they are?" he asked, Rangiku thinking.

"Well, I saw Momo with Izuru a second ago. You should ask them." she said, pointing to where she thought where they were.
"Thanks. Oh, are you going to train with Karin and Toshiro?" he asked, putting a bit more strength on ''Toshiro''. Rangiku thought for a second, then laughing a bit. "What?" he asked.

"You should stop worrying. And if they do get together, they'll be so cute." she squealed, running before Ichigo could hit her in the head.

"You said what to him?" Karin asked once Rangiku came to the training area.

"What else should I have said there? Besides, it's totally true!" she squealed, making them both slightly blush.

"N-no it's not!" she said, Toshiro knowing she was lying. The two of them had actually already become a couple. 17 months ago they had confessed to each other, but they had kept their lips sealed about it. Rangiku however, had been very suspicious around them before. Since it's been 17 months they've seen each other, talking about what happened then has been a bit embarrassing for Karin. For Toshiro as well. Rangiku could see right through them, so could Alice to for that matter.

"Either way, you two love birds can have some time for yourselves after the training." she smiled.

"Alice!" they both yelled, Toshiro forgetting for a second there that she was a Captain. Aw, how cute. Her Zanpaktou, Cyrilia snickered. Blergh, too much cute for my taste. Her Spirit, Helldra stuck his tongue out. You're such a party popper. Cyrilia said. Could you two discus this without me? I don't want to get involved. Alice asked, the two nodding. Cyrilia was a huge, Ice dragon. Her wings were gigantic, she had dark blue horns, and her scales were all ice blue. Helldra was also a dragon. Crimson color body and wings with blood red eyes.

"You three ready?" she asked, them all nodding. Alice drew her Zanpaktou, Toshiro and Rangiku doing the same and Karin's rigth arm started glowing.

Some time later...

"Ouch, that hurts." Karin yelped, the Captain of Squad 4, Retsu Unohana, was healing her a bit after her training. Her right arm was badly burned, making her get pain.

"Sorry, but you've been very hurt. How did this happen anyway?" Retsu asked.

"Alice was training me, Toshiro and Rangiku, but I hadn't used my powers in a bit and Rangiku got me annoyed and I went over the top." she explained. Retsu sighed a bit, hearing a knock on the door.

"Come in." she said, her Lieutenant, Isane Kotetsu, coming in.

"Captain Unohana, Head Captain Yamamoto wants to have all the Captains in his office now. Should I take care of Karin?" she reported, Retsu shaking her head.

"Karin's already fine to leave. Why don't you wait in Captain Hitsugaya's office. You remember where that is, right?" she asked, Karin nodding. She got out of the bed and started walking towards Squad 10's office. Lover boy sure has gotten better. FlameWolf said, Karin sighing. You're still gonna call him that? Karin asked, FlameWolf nodding. Karin sighed and kept walking, trying not to talk to much about it. She reached the office rather fast, thanks to FlameWolf's talking. She opened the door, seeing Rangiku lying on the bench. Not much had changed, the office looked like it had 17 months ago. Rangiku was just as lazy as before, but she did take being a Master and Lieutenant seriously.

"Hello, Karin! What's up?" she asked, Karin nodding. "Great! I'm gonna go and meet Momo, you wanna come too?" she asked.

"No, I think I'll just sit here for now. I'd rather not go anywhere until I get used to the Soul Society again. I haven't been here for 17 months." she said, Rangiku smirking. "What?" she asked.

"Oh, nothing. Later." Rangiku said, Karin not sure what she meant.

Captains meeting...

The Head Captain, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, had called for a Captains meeting plus Ichigo. He has the appearance of an old man with red eyes a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. There are many scars on his torso and head, the two most prominent being a pair of long, perpendicular scars above his right eye, suggesting numerous battles in his past. After his brief confrontation with Aizen, Yamamoto lost his left arm. He wears the standard Soul Reaper uniform, but its size is greatly exaggerated. He also drapes his haori over his back instead of actually wearing it. The Captains of Squad 7, 8 and 13, Sajin Komamura, Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake, weren't there at the time. They were busy with other things. Every other Captain was there, waiting for the meeting to begin. Soi-Fon hadn't really changed much, but her hair was different. She had the same style as she had 110 years ago when she was younger. The new Captain of Squad 3 was man named Raph Kutoro. He had blond hair, a normal Soul Reaper uniform with a sleeveless haori on. His Zanpaktou was on his left side, a normal katana it seemed. His eyes were green, and had a scar over his face. He didn't seem to happy either. Captain Unohana was there as well. The new Captain of Squad 5, Karina Mashio. She had long, black hair and her Zanpaktou on her back like Captain Skysilver and Captain Hitsugaya. Her Soul Reaper uniform was normal but her haori was very wrinkled and messy. And she looked like she hadn't smiled in a thousand years. The Captain of Squad 6, Byakuya Kuchiki had also changed a bit in the last 17 months. He had gray eyes and long, black hair. He wears a hairpiece at the back of his head, but not what he used to have called kenseikan. It's a hairpiece that symbolize his the head of the Kuchiki Clan. He wears a haori with a high collar which has gold on its edge small, light, gold tassels attached to the corners. He used to have a white scarf on, but he didn't have it anymore. His Kimono was the same as always. Captain Skysilver was there along with Captain Hitsugaya. The Captain of Squad 11, Kenpatchi Zeraki, had black hair going down to his shoulders. He used to have bells on the end of his hair, but he had gotten rid of them it seemed. He had a black eye patch with a gray outline on his right eye. His Kimono is normal, but his haori had a ragged look to it. The Captain of Squad 12, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, had black face paint covers much of his face, leaving thin white lines going up his face and a white nose. He wears a long, golden headdress which curves back to his mid back. Underneath his chin are two opposite facing strands from the mask. He had a normal Kimono on and a haori with sleeves.

"Attention, there has been a few fights lately and I have a feeling we have not seen the end of it either." the Head Captain began. Ichigo thought for a second, thinking about the recent fight. He had lost his Soul Reaper powers, let a man called Kugo Ginjo teach him to become something called a Fullbringer. A Fullbringer is a human with rare Spiritual Energy who are born with an ability called Fullbring. They can manipulate the ''Soul'' of matter for a variety of effects. He had learned to use Fullbring, but Kugo only used him so he could get more powerful and was revealed that he was the first Substitute Soul Reaper and told Ichigo to join him because the Soul Society used him, but Ichigo refused. Kugo and the rest of the Fullbringers, Giriko Kutsuzawa, Riruka Dokugamine, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna, Shukuro Tsukishima and Moe Shishigawara, fought against Ichigo, the new Lieutenant of Squad 13, Rukia Kuchiki, the Lieutenant of Squad 6, Renji Abarai, Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Kuchiki, Captain Zeraki and the 3rd seat of Squad 11, Ikkaku Madarame. The Lieutenant of Squad 11, Yachiru Kusajishi, appeared after Captain Zeraki won his fight against Giriko. They beat them and Kugo died, the Soul Reapers not sure what happened to the rest.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Captain Kurotsuchi asked, not very happy to be here.

"Well, I have to admit that this seems a bit out of the blue." Captain Soi-Fon said, some other Captains agreeing.

"Captain Skysilver can explain better then me." he said, the Captains looking over at her. She was about to explain, when Captain Kutoro cut her off.

"What is she supposed to know? She's not anyone special." he said, Captain Mashio agreeing.

"You might not have been told, but Captain Skysilver is from another world and a man from that world tried to get rid of Captain Hitsugaya and Ichigo Kurosaki's little sister, Karin Kurosaki. So she's basically special." Captain Hitsugaya explained.
"Not special, just know more then others sometimes. Anyway, I've been feeling a dark energy coming from another world and I think it's my home world. And something Captain Hitsugaya told me 17 months ago, I think it could be Merlik again." she said, the rest gasping.

"So, we're not done with him yet." Ichigo said, before hearing a huge explosion outside.

"What the heck was that?" Captain Soi-Fon asked.

"All of you, leave and see what's going on. Dismissed!" head Captain Yamamoto said, everyone Flash Stepping outside.

Toshiro's office At The Same Time...

"What in the world happened?" Karin asked, hearing the huge explosion. FlameWolf was out in her Spirit form, which had changed in the last 17 months. She had long, fire red hair lose down her back, with red wolf ears on the top of her head. Her Kimono was similar to the Kimono of Hyourinmaru for some reason. Her tail was red like her ears and her eyes were blue in her human-form.

"I don't know. But where's there's an explosion, there's fire." she said, growling.

"Then let's go and see what's going on." Karin said, running out the door. FlameWolf nodded and vanished into flames. Karin ran out to the garden of Squad 10, seeing smoke coming from the Seritei. Not good. I better hurry. She thought, running towards it. She was running towards the smoke, seeing some Soul Reapers running from it. She kept running and didn't stop, no matter how much some Soul Reapers tried to stop her. She looked behind her, but there was nothing there. She got a feeling of Deja Vu from doing this. She knew she had seen this before, but couldn't remember where. She looked up again and saw a fire, a huge one to. She stopped on in front of it, staring in horror. She saw some place going up in flames, not letting anymore get away. She took a closer, seeing a few Soul Reapers fighting someone or something. She kept running, fire coming after her. But the fire didn't hurt her, it barley even touched her. She ran and saw a Soul Reaper fighting against something or someone. She recognized to Soul Reaper as well, Toshiro. Her eyes widen as for every strike Toshiro took, a lot of blood fell everywhere. She closed her eyes and started running towards him, but someone held her back. She wasn't able to see who it was, but he was defiantly trying to stop her from helping Toshiro. He covered her mouth so she could scream. She opened her eyes and saw the one he was fighting had a huge sword and was going to strike Toshiro down, until a blinding, blue light came from out nowhere. It surrounded Toshiro and made a barrier around him, protecting him from the attacker.

"Timerinmaru!" he yelled, a Spirit appearing over his head. Karin had seen it before, when he protected her against Merlik 17 months ago. Basically the dragon parts of Timedrano had become the parts of Hyourinmaru.

"Hah, that won't help you, boy! I've been revived and am a lot stronger then before!" the one he was fighting yelled.

"Who brought you back, Kugo Ginjo?" Toshiro asked. The man, Kugo, just laughed, looking everywhere. The smoke hid Karin and the one who was holding her. She knew that Toshiro was in trouble and tried to get free, but the one holding her was not planing on letting her go.
"You'll be more help not in his way. You'll be more help for us as well, little girl." the person said, laughing a bit. Karin started growling like a wolf, some of her teeth getting sharper. She pulled his arm a bit and gave him a deep bite, making him let go of her and groan in pain.

"Toshiro!" She yelled, making him look over to where she was.

"Karin, what are you doing here!" he asked, Karin using the fire to make the one who he was fighting jump back.
"She must have heard the explosion as well." Timerinmaru said, Toshiro nodding.

"Well, two Masters in one smack. This is a lot better then I thought it would be." Kugo said,jumping over the fire. He was is a tall and lean-built man with fair skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length dark hair that he kept combed back, down to the nape of his neck. He was wearing dark trousers and a light sleeveless shirt, over which he wears a dark jacket that has a fur-covered collar. He also wears a thin chain necklace that has an X-shaped pendant attached to it. He also had a scar over his left eyebrow. Timerinmaru getting ready to attack or defend. "Oh, what a big, scary, bad wolf. I wonder who the three little pigs are." the one who held Karin earlier said, making the mighty Spirit very mad.

"Just who are you?" Karin asked, the boy holding his hat.

"My name is Yukio Hans Vorarlberna. And I'll be getting rid of you two." he answered. He was a young boy with green eyes and spiky, blonde hair with bangs that are usually covering his left eye. He was wearing dark-colored clothes, which includes a black cap, a black coat, white gloves, dark-colored pants, and dark-colored boots.

"Get rid of us? You think you'll defeat me when last time." Toshiro, not showing much emotion. Karin stepped a bit behind him, not sure if she would be much help.

"Well, I told you to be careful. I would get revenge and I plan on getting it." they heard a voice say.

"Merlik!" Karin gasped, Timerinmaru roaring.

"Nice to see you two just as alive as ever. But you won't be in our world. Time for you to see where Masters were born!" he yelled, a gate similar to a Senkaimon appearing behind them.

"What!" Toshiro said, but they both were pulled in by a tail which seemed to belong to a dragon. Karin felt the same Darkness she had from nightmare Merlik gave her, getting scared. Toshiro saw that she was scared and tried to make her feel safe, but didn't know what to do. Karin started yelping in pain, Toshiro being able to keep the yelps in. he looked behind them and saw a huge, black, yellow eyed dragon pulling them towards him.

"We have to get lose!" Toshiro yelled, Karin trying to struggle.

"It's useless." the dragon said in a sinister voice. "No one but the Guardians can help you now." he laughed, but stopped once a small light came.
"Then I'll have to help them then!" another voice called, sound very deep and like a girl. The light grew brighter and the dragon yelled in pain and let the two go, both getting blinded by the light.

"Who are you?" Toshiro asked, the voice sounding different now.

"If you want to know who we are, they you better stay alive long enough for us to get back home. For now, be patient." the second voice said, the two falling unconscious.

A blond boy was walking around in the woods, trying to find something. He heard a loud bang and saw smoke coming from the middle of the forest. What in Spirit Realm? He thought, running towards the smoke. When he came to where it was, he saw two people in the middle of a huge crater. One was a white haired boy, and the other was a raven haired girl.

OK, the first chapter done. I'll try to write as fast and as much as possible so you don't have to wait so long and if I can't post anything, I'll put a note telling you why. And sorry for not putting detail in the training. I'll get more into fights later in the story. Either way, if you liked the story, please review. If there's something I could do better, then send me advise by posting a review. See you next chapter!
