Bleach: Song of the Soul
Lately everything was starting to calm down again in Seireitei and the 13 squads was going back to normal after victory over Aizen Sösuke. It had been a very hard war, but they won thanks to the Vizards, Kisuke Urahara, Yuruichi Shihöin, Isshin Kurosaki and the Shinigami substitute Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo was one of those that didn't calm down, because he was kept busy with many things, being a representative of both his home town, Karakura Town, and the Vizads. Even 5 months after he helped defeating the worst thread against Soul Society and the Spirit King, a few of the Captains still asked him for favors, not to talk about school.
Ichigo could also see how stressed all the squads was when everything still had to be redone and all the paperwork that went around. He had been having the same thought in some time "how do I get these guys to relax, so they don't end up killing me with all this work". One day he visited the 12th squad, for a little blood-test, he saw an experiment about how the brain react to different things, one screen was very interesting, a very stressed brain reacts very good to music. With that in mind he went to one of his best friends, Rukia and talked with her about his idea.
When Ichigo was back in the real world, Rukia went to the Captain-Commander and told him about Ichigo's idea. The Commander said he would think about it and told Rukia to go back to work. Rukia was also very stressed out, her own squads was one that was badly hit, her Captain was unable to work and the two 3rd seats was not much help. But it was the 5th squad that was worst hit, since both they Captain and Vice-Captain was not around, their Captain dead and Vice-Captain was in the hospital going in and out of a coma.
After seeing witch state his 13 squads was in, the Captain-Commander still doubted if he should follow Ichigo's advice. Using time on this could be a great waste or it would be very good for the Gotei 13. He tried to make a mental list over good and bad things that could happen, it ended in a tie.
"Is something wrong, Captain?" Vice-Captain Sasakibe asked his Captain
"I can not decide between the two. What do you think?" The Captain-Commander asked
"I think it is an opportunity we should use. There are many that can learn from this, all we need to do is twist the idea a little" The Vice-Captain suggested
"Go on" The Captain-Commander ordered and the Vice-Captain explained his idea
The Captain-Commander had to admit it sounded good and he was even interested him self.
It had been a week since Ichigo gave his advice and now Rukia was visiting Karakura. In school Rukia said hallo to her friends and had a little fun with Orihime. At lunch she went to the roof with Ichigo and said
"Ichigo, the Captain-Commander has decided too take your advice, he has already put the task of building everything to the 12th squad. He will tell the other captains about our plan later today. I have also told Orihime about this, she asked me if she could be in on it too. I said yes, she is already writing. The Captain-Commander only want one thing from you, he want you to host the entire thing by yourself."
"Why me?" Ichigo asked
"1: It was your idea in the first place 2: You are the most qualified and 3: I'm in the show too" Rukia said, with a tiny flush
"Okay then, but that means I give the orders you all follow them" Ichigo said "good thing vacation is coming up in two days, I go to Soul Society then"
"Fine I will be waiting. I'm leaving tonight" Rukia said with a smile and then Ichigo's badge went off
"A hollow, I will be back soon" Ichigo said and left
When Ichigo found the hollow it said
"Wait, I got something from Grimm..." It didn't get the time to finish before Ichigo killed it. As it disappeared it dropped something from its hand. Ichigo picked it up and looked at it. It looked like a plug to a computer.
"Grimm...? Grimmjow!" Ichigo realized that this was something Grimmjow wanted him to have, but he was most surprised he was still alive. He went back to school, but didn't tell anyone about what he found. After school he asked Rukia
"So when is the show?"
"In three weeks. We will have the first Great Music Contest of Seireitei. We have to give the Captains some time to make their songs" Rukia answered and gave Ichigo a little shock
"Wait a minute, contest?" Ichigo asked not knowing what to think
"Yes, we chanced your idea a little bit. We didn't want to just hold a concert. Now the Captains are going to sing in contest against each other" Rukia said
As soon he arrived in Soul Society, Ichigo went to where he soon was going to be hosting a contest. He very fast took charge and started having everything done his way. When he looked at the blueprints he wanted to rip off the head of that alien Captain, they had left out a few things, the green room and there was no "back-stage". Ichigo had to make sure everything was built the right way and the blueprints was followed, he even had to go to the 4th squad for some help at one point. He also visited all his friends when was there and helped out with the songs, in more ways then one.
He worked very hard for all of this to work out in the end, it was only because a lot of help went around they were done on time. A few days before the show started Ichigo saw the list of who was going to perform and was a bit surprised, but he didn't get to know what the name of the songs was nor did he see when they all tried it out on stage. He had a little trouble putting everyone in the green room, but got it worked out in the end.

My first Bleach fanfic. Starting next chapter the songs will come and I recommend you notice the lyrics and witch person they are put together with. Its also a good idea to find the song on youtube, or somewhere else if you want to, and listen to the song too. I don't own anything
