Chapter 1

I was standing on a bridge on the edge of the town. I was leaning on a railing, just staring straight ahead. It was a nice day, not to cold, not to hot. I had just come back from training and needed a break. The wind was blowing swiftly all around, bringing the smell of roses and cherry blossom's. The whole scenery around me was peaceful and undisturbed. This was the place I used to come just to get away from being a Shinigami. It relaxed me, although I still felt like something terrible was going to happen. This whole morning I have been acting strange, and everyone noticed. That's why they suggested I leave early when I was training. I sighed.

"Even Tousen-sama noticed that I've been acting strange..."

I yawned and laid my head on my hands. I didn't do much during training except the usual going against another shinigami to see who could win. It was all baby stuff, but my captain won't let me go any further than I already am. The feeling of something bad arose inside of me.

"There has to be something wrong...I'm not sure what it is, but I can feel it." I said.

"Your captain was right, you are growing fast."

I jumped, a little. The voice sounded familiar, it just caught me off guard. I quickly turned around to face Captain Ukitake. His face was full of joy. I laughed nervously, being embarrassed that the Captain heard me talking to myself. I racked my brain, trying to come up with something quick to say.

"Hehe...HEY CAPTAIN! I wasn't talking to myself, whatcha talking about?" I said, laughing nervously, again.

He chuckled and smiled at me. His black eyes showing content, and his expression was soft. My body shifted from one leg to another.

"I see you haven't change." he said.

"Ya got that right...I think. Anyway! Instead of hearing me talking to myself, why don't you tell me why you've come."

He looked at me, smiling. I smiled back.

"What? I can't visit my friend without being suspected? Oh well, I can't hide it now. Listen carefully. Your being sent on a mission." he said.

What he said caught me off guard. He noticed this, and his expression showed seriousness. I slowly placed one hand on my hip, trying to figure out what kind of mission would he want me to go on.

"Hmm, what kind of mission we talking about?" I asked.

"You have to bring back Rukia Kuchiki from the human world. She has been there far to long. We want you to go see and bring her back." he said, and I nodded.

I paused, looking straight at him. Why would he want me to get Rukia to come back here? What is she doing in the real world that would have him this concerned? He knew these questions were running through my head, and he also knew he wasn't going to answer them. I just have to find out for myself.

"Uhuh, okay. You wanna repeat that? I wasn't listening." I said, and he sweat-dropped.

"Stop acting! I know you were listening. Anyway, we should be leaving now." Captain Ukitake said, turning around and walking the other way.

"I'm going on a mission, I'm going on a trip, I'm...umm...something! I can't remember the rest of my song! Oh, well..." I said, looking sad.

Then I realized that the Captain was ahead of me. Wow, I forgot to follow him, how stupid am I? I began to run, trying to catch up to him. My arms waved after him and I called his name.

"Hey! Oi! Captain! Wait for me!" I yelled, still running behind him.

I finally caught up to him, out of breath. I heard him chuckle, and I laughed. Yes, I know, I'm laughing at my own stupidity, it's nothing new. We started to walk again. We passed by some fellow shinigamis and stopped to talk/ gossip, although Ukitake-sama doesn't gossip. About ten minutes later, I got bored. So I started to sing!

"Oh...um...CAPTAIN! OH CAPTAIN! HOW I LOVE YOU SO! I...uh...don't know anything that rhymes with so..." I said, and we both laughed.

The captain looked up at the sky, as if remembering something. I randomly spun around and almost fell.

"Oh, Kaiya. This reminds me of the other good times when we talked." he said, smiling.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What good times? They weren't good times, they were GREAT times, no they were FUNNY and HILARIO-"

"Oh look, we're here." he said, interrupting me.

My mouth dropped. He's a not nice person for interrupting me saying how great times we have had before. Ooh, look at the big gate...very big...I looked up to see the big, very big gate in front of me. I slowly walked closer to it.

"It's big..."

Ukitake nodded, quickly going over to open it. I took another step closer until I was all the way in front of the gate. The captain opened the tall gate to reveal noting but bright white. I turned to Ukitake.

"See ya later, Ukitake-sama." I said, waving.

"Be careful, we didn't ask you to go on this mission just because you're her friend." he said, patting my shoulder.

"I had a feeling you were going to say that..." I said, walking into the gate.

All I could see is bright white, as I walked through the gate. It was all white. Bright white. I just walked straight, as I neared my destination. A few minutes passed, as I kept walking. After about another few minutes, I saw the gate open up. I threw my hand in the air.

"Chea! I've made it! Go me!" I cheered.

I walked carefully through the gate into the human world.

"It's nothing like the Soul Society..." I said, as I realized the gate opened in the sky and I was falling.

"AW CRAP! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS OPEN IN THE SKY?!" I yelled, falling.

Luckily, I landed safely in a pile of leaves...they were very colorful...

"Yuck!" I said, spitting a leave out of my mouth.

"Freaking leaves! I hate you...WITH A PASSION!" I yelled, pointing at the leaves.

I sighed. Boy, this is going to be hard... I looked at the sky to see that it was only the afternoon. Oh, at least the sky still has beautiful colors like the soul society. I looked around. The human world looked humongous compared to the soul society. The buildings were tall, small objects appeared to be on wheels were all over the place, people wore different clothes, and the trees didn't have many flowers. I stood there in awe.

"Wait, so where am I supposed to start?" I asked myself, as I started to feel someone's spirit energy.

Then I started to feel more. Hehe. I've found him. I quickly started to head straight to the source of the spirit energy. I jumped over a group of kids playing card games. I passed a few trees and some buildings. I nearly dodged one of the objects on wheels, and noticed that they were big close up. I then felt that I was nearing the source, and continued to head straight for it. I ended up in front of a small building. I looked at it with a sigh, it was old and shaggy.

"Idiot, when is he ever going to learn?" I said to myself, as I walked toward the building.

I reached and opened the door to face two children sweeping the floor. One was a boy wit bright red hair and another was a cute little girl with black pigtails. They looked up at me and I looked back at the.

"Oi! Who the hell are you?" yelled the boy wit red hair, pointing his broom at me.

I raised an eyebrow and glared at the boy. He is such an ill-mannered child, how dare he point a broom at me.

"You know, you should learn some manners when speaking to an adult, let alone a young lady!" I yelled back, holding up my fist.

"You don't look that young to me." he said, smirking and crossing his arms.

"Why you little brat! Get over here!" I yelled, glomping his head with my fist.

I laughed, as he was on the floor clutching his head. I'm so cruel to kids! That's why everyone says I'm not allowed to be a mother...

"What did I tell you two about being quiet when the boss is asleep?" yelled a man that looked very strong.

He was very tall, too. I had to tilt my head all the way back just to look up at him. My eyes widened.

"I'm here to see your boss." I said, crossing my arms.

"I'm sorry, but he's a-"

"Nah, I'm awake. Ah, I could hear your annoying voice from my room."

I looked up to see Urahara. I waved at him. He covered his mouth with his right hand as he yawned and stretched.

"Long time no see, huh?" I said, glaring at him.

He focused on me and took out his fan. He began fanning himself and I sweat dropped. He doesn't care that he hasn't seen me for a long time, boo hoo...

"Kaiya, I have something to tell you..." he said, putting his fan in front of his face.

I looked up at him, expecting something serious, though Urahara is never serious.

"What is I-"

I was interrupted by him coming at me and swallowing me up in a giant hug. I was cought off guard and we both fell to the floor. I rolled my eyes and threw him off me.

"I missed you!!" he said, as I got up.

"Hey! Watch it! Quit acting like that, you haven't changed!" I yelled, hitting him on the head.

He clutched his head and placed on a fake sad face. I shook my head, like I said, Urahara is never serious.

"Ow, that hurt. Is that how you treat your friend?" he said, turning into a chibi and rubbing the top of his head.

I sighed. I swear, what am I going to do with him? I crossed my arms and tapped my foot angrily.

"Urahara, you do know why I'm here, right?" I asked, glaring at him.
