Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach.

This is a fanfic my friend wrote awhile ago and wanted me to put up. I had a hand in driving the story and helping create the characters, but the writing is mostly him. You COULD call it teamwork if you wanted.

The smell of old, cold tea hung in the air, as men sat around in a dark room, some half asleep. Their jobs would have been to watch the monitors, for any sign of a disturbance in the regular waves of Spiritual Pressure, but instead, they were lounging around, eating snacks, drinking tea, and drooling on their monitors as they napped. One man, with somewhat long, unclean looking hair, was busy at his monitor. He was studying some odd fluctuations in the spirit waves. Several of them had been recorded in the data logs, over the past three months. He wasn't sure what they were, but they were nothing harmful, or he, along with the rest of Soul Society would have known about it. In fact, this spiritual pressure that was detected, almost seemed like the exact same as when a Soul Reaper that was stationed there, fought a Hollow. The only problem was, there were no Soul Reapers stationed there. The man coughed, as he worked diligently on his monitor. He would occasionally grumble a curse when he screwed up, or he would complain about the sleeping co-workers around him. Eventually, After typing and typing, and typing, the man had fallen asleep…

"Well, well. Working hard, I see." The man jumped out of his sleep, knocking his half full tea cup over, spilling its contents onto the table, and down to the floor, as he heard the familiar, creepy, voice behind him. There, stood the source of the voice. A man, about five feet, and seven inches tall, he wore an oddly shaped, white hat, that seemed to protrude in a cone shape, off the right side of his head. Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi. His face was painted white and black, giving his features an almost, in-human look. He wore the standard Soul Reaper garbs, Shihakushō robes. Over them, he wore the Captain's Haori, with the squad twelves symbol on the back of it, the Thistle, which symbolized vengeance, strictness, and independence.

"Gah! S-sorry, sir! I-!" The man was cut short, as the Captain leaned forward to look at the monitor, knocking the man out of his chair, and onto the floor.

"Hmm. Interesting… Interesting, indeed." The Captain seemed to rub his chin, as he observed what the man had been looking at. "Yes. I had noticed the same exact thing. You see, I observe many things from my master terminal. This, has been one of them." The Captains voice suddenly became high, and excited, as he spoke of his own study.

"S-sir..? I never realized.." The man was interrupted by the captain once again, as he would have began to speak from down on the floor.

"Of course I'd know about it, you fool! Why do you think I'm the head of this joint?" The now irritated Kurotsuchi scolded his underling. "I have a hunch, you see…" The Captain continued, with suddenly calm voice. "Not too long ago, I was conducting a rather… 'personal' experiment. It's legality is rather.. Questionable. But, that doesn't matter at this point. You see, It was an attempt to gather large amounts of spiritual pressure at a focused point, in the world of the living. If this had been successful, it could have been used as an effective battle strategy to aid Soul Reapers who fought in the world of the living. The experiment was an essential success, but.. The Humans in the area of testing absorbed the large amounts of spiritual pressure… The fools did it without even being aware of it. Then, one day, they discover that they have gained the abilities of a Soul Reaper. CHILDREN. They thought they were so 'cool.'…"

"Uhm. Sir.." Was all the man was able to respond with as he stood up.

"Hmm… I suppose I'll have to inform the others about this. Those Humans defile our laws. Punishment is necessary." With that, Captain Kurotsuchi abruptly turned and left the room. Ignoring anything his subordinate may have been trying to tell him. TO BE CONTINUED.

The chapters aren't THAT long, but there is a lot of them. I'll upload them every now and again and we will get to writing more of them soon.
