~a few thousand years ago~
He honestly tried not to fall asleep, but the temptation was just too much, he was shocked back to the living as his name was called and stood blurting out what he'd started dreaming about 'it's real I tell you!' The class stared at him for a second before it erupted in laughter. The teacher, Yamamoto-sensei just looked annoyed bringing his hand down heavily on his desk in irritation 'shunsui! You will stay back after class.. Focus!' It was another moment before the class was settled again and shunsui sat, it was embarrassing but he laughed it off with the rest if the class grinning at Yamamoto 'hai sensei'. With another sigh he gives shunsui a meaningful look before continuing on with the class 'now.. Since we all here.. Any questions about what I've just taught you?' A few hands went up and questions were fired away, shunsui puts his hand up 'say, its a bit off topic, but say there is this world, is it possible that an existing world exists that's identical to this one?' Yamamoto looks annoyed 'what does that have to do with kido?', shunsui frowns 'so is it possible? If it was, could you visit the other world and meet yourself?' Yamamoto clenches his fist 'detention.. Don't speak again this lesson!'
~Seritei Now~
Shunsui was suddenly woken by a familiar voice that was a little annoyed 'excuse me kyouraku taicho... Would you please get off my floor before I send you home in pieces..' Jushiro was sitting at his desk sipping tea in his uniform and indeed didn't look impressed. Shunsui sits up with a yawn and stretch before smiling 'gomen.. But your floor is just so comfortable Juu..' Jushiro sighs 'please.. Would you be a normal being for just a little... It's distracting to have you snoring while I am having a break..' Shunsui chuckles 'I can't promise that.. But I can give it a go, just for you' he smiles playfully, jushiro looks at him with irritation 'why are you here anyway.. Does nanao know your here?'. Shunsui brings his hands to rest behind him relaxed 'well.. Probably not.. I didn't tell her..' Jushiro sighs and brings a hand to his forehead 'you are a monster... You should be kinder to your subordinates... And me...' Shunsui smiles 'ah, but I love my nana-chan... And I definitly wouldn't be here without you.. I love you too' jushiro just rolls his eyes before an urgent knock interrupted the chat. 'Ukitake taicho, kyouraku taicho, head taicho requests your presence..' The two instantly look serious and jushiro forgets his tea putting down the cup and standing 'we will report shortly, thank you' shunsui gets to his feet and follows jushiro with a thoughtful look 'I wonder if he fell over...' Jushiro looks at him and then sighs defeated 'you are horrible..'
~meanwhile: on the outskirts of Rukongai~
A young girl and her boyfriend of only sixteen were playing chase in the fields on the outskirts, a loud crack shocked them both tripping them up, suddenly their was a large what looked like a tear standing on it's own just a few metres away, it had come from nowhere and it didn't look anything like a hollow tear, the girl looks afraid and gets up to shy behind her boyfriend "what is that...". Her boyfriend gulps biting his lip "I-I don't know... It just.. Appeared..". The girl steps back "hey, let's go home.. It could be dangerous...". The boy steps back reluctantly staring at the mirror, it was strangely enticing, a part of him wanted to run, another wanted to inspect the mirror, but he nods and backs away "yeah, let's go.." The two then turn and run back to rukongai quickly escaping just incase. It wasn't long before the mirror which had immediately alerted the research division was surrounded by shinigami keeping the public from interacting more with the mirror.
There had been few times in history that these tears had occurred, they were named endless doors as in the past people had been sent through but not returned, jushiro and shunsui had some experience in the past dealing with such tears and thus the two were to help mayuri out with research. They were sent as guards while a research crew studied the door, the tear had the possibility of disappearing at any point in time, it could be there for days or mere hours, this time it seemed the tear remained over night, a tent was constructed nearby for the evening and shunsui and jushiro sat chatting while watching the researchers, it wasn't the most interesting work but a few hollows were lured to the collection of souls in the field, it wasn't till midnight that something happened, a child had snuck out of rukongai with natural curiousity to look at the mirror, most people were sleeping by then, and the child sneaked past the shinigami to get closer. The mirror reflected the starlit evening and instantly fascinated the child. Shunsui was laying on the ground content to chew on some grass while jushiro kept an eye on things, he noticed the child late however and just as the child went to touch the mirror he saw it. The child didn't expect to fall through the mirror and instantly disappeared through the surface, jushiro stands quickly and shunsui looks up in surprise "what?". Jushiro looks worried "a child went through the tear... I saw it too late to stop him.." Shunsui sits up immediately looking at the mirror "I didn't feel anything though? Are you sure?" Jushiro nods already feeling guilty and shunsui looks at him "wait... You not going to go through are you? You don't know if you can get back.." Jushiro looks at him "I can't just let it go.. It's immoral..." Shunsui frowns worried "I know... But we can't afford to lose you... " jushiro takes a breath "... I won't be able to sleep...". Shunsui groans... Admittedly he's right... "I swear... Fine... Five minutes... If you have no luck by then... You have to come back... With or without the kid..." Jushiro nods pulling out his soul communicator "I'm not sure if it will work... But I'll keep this on me..." He then doesn't take another moment before flash stepping to the mirror and walking through without hesitation.
