The story starts 2 years after the end of the winter war, Ichigo has managed to stealthily regain his Reiatsu and has enter the Soul Society secretly to see what mischief he can accomplish, unfortunately for him a group of people have noticed his entry and are preparing to strike.

Disclaimer: Bleach isn't mine.

Prologue: A Brawl for the Record Books.

Ichigo ran through the streets of the Seireitei being chased by a group of spirits dressed in four different uniforms bearing the insignia's of the four great noble houses, wondering who was chasing him and why, as far as he knew he hadn't annoyed these people and they weren't Shinigami from the Eleventh division.

"Why the hell are you chasing me" Ichigo shouted to the pursuers chasing him.

"We were ordered to chase you" came the unexpected answer from the group.

"Why" Ichigo replied

"Sorry but we don't know why" shouted the group after much whispering between the members of the group.

"Really" Ichigo inquired stopping his insane dash through the Seireitei.

"They don't know a thing" A new voice cried out.

Ichigo turned around to realize that he had stopped in one of the many plazas scattered throughout the Seireitei, the difference this one had unfortunately for him was that it was filled with more souls dressed like the one that had chased him here, but in front of them were eight spirits dressed more regally then the rest. They were in the same colors though two to each group chasing him, what Ichigo didn't know was these eight were elders from the four great noble houses and to top it off they were the most conservative of the elders of each house.

Ichigo faced these men down and said "Who the hell are you and why are these men chasing me."

One of the two Kuchiki elders stepped forward and replied "Because you are a threat to us." Ichigo noted that this was the voice that had spoken before.

Ichigo responded to that statement with "Aside from the obvious how am I a threat to you"

The Elder replied "You are famous and well liked among the commoners of the Rukongai and the Shinigami of the Seireitei which makes you a serious threat to the sovereignty of the Four Great Noble Houses, as this popularity could allow you to rise up as a noble as powerful or even greater than the Four Great Houses."

Ichigo looked dumbfounded at this proclamation and then he worked through what was said and replied "While I admit your point is valid isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume that I was going to use this popularity and fame to become a noble."

The Elder stepped back amazed by this reply and said "Y-you don't want to become a noble?"

Ichigo scowled and said "Hell no, if I became a noble it would mean I'd have to act like Byakuya and that is one of the things I refuse to do no matter what".

The Elder's jaw dropped and he commented in a weak voice "The main reason you don't wish to become a noble is because of Kuchiki-sama's way of nobility".

Ichigo thought for a minute and then nodded commenting "Yeah that's about right, hey are you a Kuchiki?"

The Elder nodded and asked "Yes, how did you know?"

"The way you acted when I said Byakuya's name" was Ichigo's dry reply.

"Now much as I would like to continue chatting I'm afraid this is going to get ugly" Ichigo announced.

What happened next was filmed by one of many cameras scattered throughout the Seireitei by the Twelfth Division and later shown in the Shinōreijutsuin as a master usage of Hakuda against multiple opponents, Ichigo mowed down the group surrounding him without ever drawing the Zanpakutō on his back.

Unfortunately for Ichigo this brawl caught the attention of some Second division Shinigami, leading to his eventual capture and imprisonment in the Second division barracks.

The Shinigami were amazed at what he had done as after knocking out barehanded over four hundred guards from the noble houses he then took on and successfully wiped out nearly twenty Shinigami before being subdued. The Shinigami in question were later chewed out by Suì-Fēng for their lack of skills and forced to practise their Hakuda for several hours without break, They later became some of the best Hakuda users in the Soul Society.

Two hours later in the Central 46 Chambers

"This is outrageous" shouted Number 34

"I agree" replied several other members of Central 46.

'"The Nobles have gone too far this time" cried Number 12

"We must punish them" replied Number 18

"Silence" Shouted Number 1

The chamber fell silent as the echoes of Number 1's cry faded.

"I agree we must punish the Four Great Noble houses for this indiscretion, but we must also punish the Shinigami in question, Who is?" Number 1 queried.

Number 2 replied "We have discovered that the Shinigami in question is the Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki, the Hero of the Winter War"

"Due to his status as a hero we must be very careful as to how we go about punishing him as one mistake could end in disaster for us" Number 6 commented

The chamber began to fill with the cries of the members of Central 46 as they gave suggestions on how to deal with this.

"Silence" Number 1 shouted once again. "I have an idea"

The hall fell silent as these words reached the outer Numbers.

"As we saw on the video the Substitute Shinigami absolutely hated the idea of being a noble and the nobles were terrified of his becoming a noble" Number 1 stated

"What's your point Number 1" asked Number 13

Number 1 took a breath and smiled "What if as punishment we force the noble houses to court and marry Ichigo Kurosaki".

The chambers were filled with silence at this suggestion and then Number 8 started laughing. Number 7 sitting next to her looked at her and asked "Why are you laughing?"

"Not only is it fair punishment, But I can't wait to see the looks on the faces of the Substitute and the Captain of the Sixth Byakuya Kuchiki." replied Number 8 while still laughing.

The entire hall began to fill with the sound of laugher as the animosity between the Substitute and the Sixth Division captain had become legendary throughout the Seireitei, and the idea of them becoming brother-in-laws made Central 46 fill up with laughter for the first time in history.

And with that I will end the Prologue, Keep an eye out for the next chapter when Byakuya, Ichigo and the rest of the Gotei 13 learn of this punishment. and as I said before feel free to give me suggestions on the story and what you think of it, also as I have little to no knowledge of Japanese I may ask for translations into Japanese. but right now if you are so kind could anyone send in lists of common Japanese name and surname also the gender often associated with these names. Thanks in advance dragonsong2795.
