Yoruichi's big adventure

Chapter 1

It was a quiet day in Soul Society. It had been ever since the winter war was won. Yoruichi were one of those people who got bored easily. She where on one of her Soul Society visits. She had been with her cute little bee all morning, taking delight in seeing Soi Fon again. Orihime had, at the moment she got out from Hueco Mundo; tended to everyone's wounds and got back everyone's missing limbs. Soi Fon had decided to celebrate her new arm as she always did… by training. Yoruichi smiled, remembering how she had dropped by to say hello… in her own special naked way. Soi Fon had blushed, shielded her eyes, and barked an order to her squad who were also present to leave at once. Yoruichi smiled. Good times, her little bee was just too cute for words sometimes.

At the moment Yoruichi where heading through the Rukongai forest towards Kukkaku for an evening with sake, fun and possibly some well aimed fireworks in the direction of Byakuya's house. The forest was beautiful at this time of the year, the birds were chirping and the leaves blew gently in the wind.

A sudden flash made Yoruichi stop and turn around. She frowned, seeing a golden trophy lying in the grass. It was big and golden, with handles and pretty multicolored gems. Yoruichi raised an eyebrow. This thing looked like it belonged on a mantle to a formula 1 race car winner, not in a ditch in the middle of a forest in a poor district in Rukongai.

Yoruichi shrugged. Well might as well take it with her, here it was just litter in the forest; maybe Kukkaku could use it as a really huge sake cup or something. Yoruichi bent down and took out a hand and gently touched the cup. In the middle of the trophy sat a huge yellow topaz gem. The moment Yoruichi touched the trophy the topaz lighted up, like an extra sun. Yoruichi shielded her eyes and when she decided it was safe to open her eyes again she just gaped.

She stood in a clearing, looking over an open forest. Right nearby she saw a small village. She looked up into the sky and saw a bunch of strange birds, like nothing she had ever seen.

Looking down again, she saw a bunch of strange creatures, looking strangely like beavers run past her in the grass. OK… I am so not in Rukongai anymore Yoruichi muttered. But where the hell were she? And what was with that strange trophy? Looking around Yoruichi quickly noted that the trophy were nowhere to be found. Now then, what to do next? Yoruichi were just going to sit down when someone called her name.

"OY! YORUICHI."

Yoruichi turned and saw the last thing she had expected to see. Shiba Kukkaku was walking up to her… only, it couldn't be Kukkaku. Sure she sounded like Kukkaku, even looked like Kukkaku… but that could not be Kukkaku.

She wore a basic red singlet with a low cut to show off her impressive bust. She wore a pair of white shorts with a strange round pattern in black on the hem of her right pant leg. Tied to her right hip was a light lilac shawl, with the Shiba clan mark on it. She wore a pair of sandals in basic light brown. Her black hair cascaded down her head, not wearing anything on her head… but what shocked Yoruichi most were her hands… both of them.

No stump. No sign of any trauma, except a few scratches that anyone could have gotten. She knew for a fact that Orihime had offered to give Kukkaku back her arm and that Kukkaku had refused… so how in Kami's name?

Kukkaku came walking up to Yoruichi frowning gently.

"Yoruichi what are you doing out here?"

Yoruichi groaned and pinched herself to make sure she weren't dreaming.

"I can honestly say I have no idea… Kukkaku, this might sound bad but… where am I?"

Kukkaku's face went from playful to worry faster than a bolt of lightning.

"Raiko town… our home town."

"In which country?"

"Japan… in the Sunze region" (made it up, deal with it!).

Kukkaku frowned. "Did you hit your head or something?"

"You are never going to believe me" Yoruichi sighed.

"Try me."

"Ok… I think I have traveled from another world."

Kukkaku blinked. "Ok?"

Yoruichi sighed. "Can we go to your place? This might take some time to explain."

Kukkaku nodded gently. "Of course… this way."
