The winter war was over and Aizen locked away, never to be seen again. The clean up of karakura town was just about done with. Ichigo found him self some what at a loss. There was no enemy to defeat, except for hollows but they were now few and far between. Despite having always wanted a normal life the orange haired teen was bored.

He had caught up at school so he no longer had that to distract him self with, he sighed to him self as he got home and headed to his room. He would do some homework before dinner as was now his routine, ordinary yes but . . . boring.

Naruto, Sakura, Sai and Kakashi stood in the Hokage's office facing her across her desk, they had been summoned for a mission.

"So where are we going Grandma?" Questioned Naruto, causing the Hokage's eye to twitch, she hated being called that!

"There have been reports of a strange energy force in a cave 20 miles from here, I want team Kakashi to go and check it out and report back what you find, if anything" "Your to leave immediately"

"Hai!" was heard from three of the four team members, the fourth . . .

"Wait, is this a recon?" Asked Naruto

"Yes" Tsunade replied shortly.

"But I'm in the middle of training!" Naruto protested loudly "can't you send a genin team?"

"Naruto!" was yelled by Sakura along with her cracking her knuckles in warning to the blonde. Said ninja cringed and inched away from the pink haired girl. Not wanting to get beaten to a pulp he huffed out "fine" and crossed his arms turning away to sulk.

"Good, your dismissed" the Hokage said, the four ninja then left, after she had told them where they were going exactly.

They had been jumping through the trees for an hour in silence, as Naruto was still sulking. He wanted to be training for his new jutsu not going on some sucky recon mission dammit!

His thoughts were interrupted by Kakashi saying "were here" They were over looking a small water fall in a clearing.

"The cave where the reported energy came from is behind that water fall" the copy nin explained.

"So what the hell are we waiting for? Lets go and check it out!" exclaimed the blonde rushing forward, forcing his team mates to follow him. All four were now standing in front of the water fall, Sakura cursing the blonde, "what? It's not like there was anyone around" he said to her.

"I suppose... but you still shouldn't rush off on your own!"

"You don't have to worry about me Sakura" Naruto grinned back

"Shadow clone jutsu!" A bunch of clones appeared then at the blonds command, the clones then proceeded to stop the flow of water using his new training, so then they could all pass without getting soaked. "Very good Naruto" Kakashi said as he went through, causing Naruto to give a cheesy grin, which was wiped off when Sai said "thank you dickless" causing Sakura to chuckle from behind her hand. Naruto growled under his breath at Sai.

They searched the cave for a while, it was much bigger than you would expect. Eventually they came to a gigantic cavern with a massive lake in the middle. "Wow! It's massive!" said an excited Naruto.

Right in the middle of the lake was a rock island which was emitting a yellow glow. "You think that's the source of the energy Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked "I guess so but I don't feel anything" he replied.

"Ok gang spread out well approach from all sides, no need to be careless now" Kakashi said.

They spread out a slowly walked to wards the island on the water, they got closer and closer and nothing happened until finally they were on the island. They could now see the source of the light, it was what looked like a rip or a crack in the rock and the light was coming from inside.

"I still don't feel anything" Kakashi said "me neither" said Sakura frowning at the tear.

"Maybe it's broken" Naruto commented, he then proceeded to be incredibly thick as he was want to do. And he stuck his hand into the light before any of them could stop him.

"Naruto!" was exclaimed from all of them. At first nothing happened, "see guys no- !" The blonde started to say then was interrupted by a pain going through his arm and the alarming sensation of his charka being sucked out of his body. "ahhhhh!" he screamed trying to pull his arm back, then it got worse as the chakra of the nine tailed fox started to be drawn out too. He could feel his body changing as the demons chakra flowed through him, whisker marks getting deeper and teeth getting longer. Just then Sakura grabbed him by the back of his jacket and heaved with all of the monstrous strength. There was a moment where every thing seemed suspended, but then she managed to pull him free, sending him flying into the cave wall. She was getting ready to yell at him when there was a noise from the crack, when they turned around it was to see the crack getting bigger and bigger.

They all leaped away from the now fissure and stood on the walls watching to se what would happen.

"Umm guys ... maybe we should get out of here" said Sakura but it was too late. There was a blinding flash of light then a rumble from the crack then an explosion of energy.

It was another peaceful day in karakura town. The substitute shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki was on his way to the park to meet up with some of his friends, they were going to have a picnic as per Inoue's request as the weather was being so nice lately, and as she put it, it would be a shame to waste it.

It was a good idea Ichigo thought to him self the only problem was Orihime's cooking, it was the worst he had ever tasted. When he got there almost everyone had arrived Orihime, Chad, Ishida and Renji.

"Hey" he greeted them giving a quick wave. Just then Rukia turned up with Toushiro in tow looking none to happy about it.

He had been bugged by Rukia to come along as it was his last day before he had to go back to the soul society. I might as well take a break he thought to himself, I have nothing better to do besides avoid that creepy shop keeper.

They all got settled on the blankets spread out on the grass, but before they could start eating, or in most cases look like they were while hiding the food to avoid hurting Orihime feelings. They all felt a pulse of energy that wasn't spirit pressure coming from the woods behind them. It was hot and oppressive and hade them all give a slight shiver of fear as it was so malevolent.

"What is that?" Orihime asked in a whisper

"No idea, I've never felt anything like it, but its defiantly not a hollow" Renji answered her.

"Think we should take a look?" Ichigo asked the group at large.

"Of course Kurosaki" Toushiro commented

"this is a bad idea king, that feels like a demon" a distorted voice sounded in Ichigos head "shut up!" he answered his hollow annoyed, he was always butting in at the wrong time.

"che, fine" then he was silent fading to the back of Ichigos mind where he was supposed to stay.

The group had been walking through the trees while this was happening and now they were almost to the place where to energy had come from.

They came to a small clearing which had in the middle of it a rip in the air, kind of like the ones the hollows used but instead of blackness, coming form this one was a yellow light. Before anyone could start to guess what it was or where it went the rip started to get wider with a ripping and oddly a cracking sound.

"what the-" Started Ichigo, but before he could finish something resembling an arm shot out of the rip and grabbed onto the orange head around his torso. He managed to get one arm free and grabbed onto Renjis' arm who was closest, he gripped Ichigos arm back. But the arm thing started to pull them toward the rip. Everyone then took hold of either Ichigo or someone attached to Ichigo, but the arm was proving too strong for all of them.

"Let go of me!" Ichigo yelled to the others.

"What?" Renji growled back

"Let go, there's no point us all getting pulled in, its only got hold of me, so let go!"

"No way Ichigo!"

Before anything more could be said the arm gave one colossal pull and they were all pulled off there feet and into the rip.

"Everyone hold on to each other!" Toushiro barked at them. Not that he needed to no one had any intention of letting go. And then they were falling and falling, surrounded by the yellow light, then as one they all passed out.

Still falling.
