This is my first Bleach Fan fiction and comes with the warning that it will not be updated fast.

I'm ill, am on a trip to Belgium over the weekend and am constantly buried under an apparently endless mound of homework. Kind of like all the captains with there paperwork, but at least they can get someone else to do it…sometimes.

On the plus side I have half written the next chapter so it shouldn't take too long, maybe.

Disclaimer: I do not own bleach. If I did the captains would get a lot less paperwork due to knowing how they feel. sob I do own one of the three girls the other two are owned by friends who let me use them, although I have to do all the hard work like writing about them.

The news bulletin on a major crash was just coming through when Rukia got the orders from soul society. There were hollows near it.

Ichigo instantly left his body and started towards the sight, leaving Rukia to catch up with him. Luckily she'd fully regained her powers after the 'incident' in soul society and soon caught up.

As they approached they simultaneously felt something that was out of place. That some thing being three other soul reapers who from a distance could be seen fighting the hollows. It didn't fit as according to soul society they were the only soul reapers in the area, this however was apparently incorrect.

When they finally arrived the other soul reapers were gone and the hollows eradicated. All signs that there had been a battle there had been erased, but who by and why they didn't know.

Later that day the total body count for the accident was one, with two girls who were found nearby soon regaining consciousness. There were no other injured.

The dead girl crouched hidden on a nearby roof, watching as they took her body away. Then she turned and started running in the opposite direction. Anyone who could see her would have witnessed a young girl of about 15, sprinting across roof tops, not looking back once at what she'd just left behind.

A week later three young female soul reaper arrived at soul society. What no one noticed was that it was the dead girl and her two friends who'd been found unconscious.

Who are the three girls? Find out in the next chapter. (I apologise for the cheesiness of that comment. I just couldn't resist typing it.)
