Attention humans.

We of the Gotei 13 do not understand when or how you have become aware of our existence.

It was at first a mere rumor, dismissed the moment it was brought up. However, these reports increased so quickly we dispatched several officers to investigate. Upon confirming this fact, we immediately attempted to wipe your memories using the Memory Chikan. However, we were informed by two fine scientists that in no way would our current level in memory-deletion be sufficient to erase thousands and thousands of them--seeing that we are recovering from the War, we do not wish to waste our time in such trivial matters; at least, trivial compared to what we are preoccupied with at the moment.

We have multiple complaints amidst our ranks. Majority of these appear to occur to officers of notably high rank, around those of Fourth Seat and higher, when they were sent on missions to the transient world--which would be the world you reside in, of the humans. Said officers reported that (though we are not pleased to inform you of this) many humans with slightly higher reiatsu than average have not only seen with their eyes, but even went so far as to speak to and touch them. They informed us that these humans would leap upon them unprovoked and proceed to embrace or even attempt to make physical contact with, as of now, unmentionable areas of the body.

This behavior is most unseemly and will not be tolerated.

Others among us say that they have discovered something commonly known as "fan fiction" on the "internet". There is something called "Bleach" in the fan fiction "web site", and though we do not know what "Bleach" (our researchers claim that it is a chemical used to remove coloring from fabrics) has to do with this, "characters" in this so called "Bleach" resemble us very well. Very, very well. So well, in fact, that they seem to parallel us in every single way, from exact names down to exact pasts that should have been kept confidential to the person alone. As you may be able to assume, these eerie likenesses are very unsettling.

The Gotei 13 does not take pleasure in harming humans in any way, but if this persists, if you do not eliminate this "Bleach" and if you refuse to correct your behavior, we will not hesitate in eliminating you. We expect, seeing how many of our shinigami (including nearly all members of the 11th division) are more than eager to exterminate you, that no one, not even anyone in their wrong mind, would enjoy being brutally massacred by angry death gods.

For your safety and for our own sanity, we would appreciate it if you simply allowed both of our worlds to exist without disruption. Again, we must remind you that some of our shinigami would not hesitate in murdering a human, even if that human had an excuse of being clinically insane.

We repeat--please withdraw from disturbing our job before you regret it.

Thank you.

Most sincerely,

The Gotei 13
