Chapter 1: The mysterious man

Over in the secret underground training space under the Sokyoku Hill that Yoruichi Shihoin had told them about not so long ago, Miyuki Kasumi and Sorami Amaya had decided to train. Everyday they would go to their training ground; either to have fun or to finish up the day by training to become stronger and do well at the academy so they could join one of Gotei 13 squads in correspondence to their dream; to protect people from hollows.

However, Miyuki and Sorami had realised that every time they had been there to train there reiatsu would increase if they trained too hard. This change could sometimes be felt throughout the whole of the Seireitei, meaning that all of the Captains of the Gotei 13 could feel their reiatsu. This would sometimes cause problems for Miyuki and Sorami.

Miyuki and Sorami met after bumping into each other in the 1st district of West Rukongai. Miyuki had lived there with her adopted family, who had adopted her when she had first been sent to the soul society. Sorami was a lot older than Miyuki in terms of the year she had died, but she did not look a day older than 18, which to Miyuki only meant that Sorami was only 2 years older than her, physically.

After an argument about who bumped into whom first, they both went back to Miyuki's house to settle in for the night. People around Miyuki seemed to dislike her and did not speak to her but Miyuki didn't mind at all, now she was friends with Sorami, no one else mattered.

Everyday, Miyuki and Sorami woke up quite early and decided to go for a walk while they discussed what they where going to do for the rest of the day. This routine was the norm for them as there wasn't much to do in the Rukongai.

One day, after what seemed like a while later into the day, they where confronted by a person in a shinigami robe and white haori - which they noticed to be a Captains garb – as well as a pink flowered haori draped over the top, and a straw hat.

"Hello there", came the voice of the man in front of them, "Could I please speak to both of you?"

"Who are you and what do you want" Miyuki answered, looking up at the tall man in front of her.

"Well I am Shunsui Kyoraku Captain of the 8th division in the Gotei 13 and I am here with a request for you both" Shunsui replied.

Miyuki looked at Sorami and back to the shinigami before signalling for him to follow them into a room that they could talk in. Miyuki wasn't very comfortable having a shinigami so close to her home, but she felt could do nothing to stop the man
