Title: To Put it Simple

Summary: Hitsugaya's in America. He's there to check out a new shinigami in the making. What he finds is a small town full of twisted secrets and lies. These lies and secrets don't even have anything to do with shinigami. It's just humans making other human's lives hell. How does this one girl fit into all of this? To put it simple, she doesn't.

Chapter one: Mission (Toushiro's point of view)

Man, this sucks.
How the hell did all this happen again? I mean one minute, I'm in my office finishing my (and lieutenant's) paperwork, the next on my way to America. Where exactly in America am I going again? Where's that ticket? Ticket, ticket, tic- here it is.

"Jackson, Mississippi" Wait. That's a big town is it not? No, probably the biggest town cause isn't it the capitol? I thought the General said a small town in Missi-

"We ride the plane to Jackson, then we buy a vehicle and drive to Philadelphia." I swear Urahara can read minds or something. I hate that about him. He's always right, no matter the situation. That and he's a goof off. I really don't see how he's one of the strongest shinigami. Well I didn't until I saw him fight for the first time. Now I believe it, each word for word. I guess he's not the worst. But I still don't see how I got stuck with him. Him and-

"I'm sure he already knows that Kisuke."

Him and Yoruichi. Just him and Yoruichi. This is going to be a nightmare. How am I going to live with them for more than a month? Maybe even a year?
To put it simply, I can't.
It's easy really. I'm going to die.
At least it's not Rangiku.
Huh, I never thought of it that way.
Maybe I'll live.
Speaking of living.

"Urahara, how is everything suppose to work out? Like living arrangements and stuff." My curiousity got the better of me.

First they give me a questioning glance. Now they look at each other. Now back at me.

"Do you seriously not know?" Urahara finally asks. Took him long enough.

"Would I be asking you if I did?"

"No, I guess you wouldn't. Okay, where do I start. Umm, Okay. You know about the sudden appearance of an unknown shinigami, right?"

I nod my head.

"Well, the Head Captain asked me to look into specifics of the area where the shinigami was located. Once found, I was to take who I thought was best to discover what kind of shinigami it is."

"What do you mean by 'what kind'?" I ask.

Yoruichi then says, "He means if it's either a soul who has died and had help turning into a shinigami or turned to one the way Ichigo did. You know, something like that. The possibilities are endless. That's why we need to check it out."

Oh.

"We also need to determine if it's an ally or an enemy. If an ally, then we're to help train and strengthen the shinigami to help defeat Aizen. If an enemy, then we are to get rid of the problem." says Urahara.

"How do I fit in to this?"

"Well, I thought it was best if I take another captain besides Yoruichi and I. I also found out that the shinigami was detected on a school's grounds. Since you look like a high schooler I thought it best for you to come. You're going to go to Neshoba Central as a tenth grader and investigate. While going there, me, you, and Yoruichi are going to live in a house in Neshoba county sort of like a family. " He smiled the most creepy smile I've ever seen.

Never mind. I really am going to die.
