3 figures were standing in a room with a computer and 6 monitors, on each monitor was a different person. Two of them were looking at the monitors while the third just leaned on the wall next to them. Soon the first one spoke

"So what do you think about them Aizen-sama?" the first one said

"Well Gin each of their respective skills seems to be perfect for our needs, but we will need to give them each a test to see if they are all as good as they seem to be." Aizen said "what do you think Tosen?" he asked the man leaning on the wall

"I agree with Aizen-sama" Tosen said

"Well then its agreed Gin, start their tests" Aizen said

"Gotcha, now just sit back and watch the show" gin said in a sing-song voice


Ichigo Kurosaki sat on the train waiting for his ride to come to an end. The 3 hours the ride took to get to his next job was really taking its toll on him. To put his current feelings into one word it would be bored. 3 things were currently going through his head right now, the first was that his client better appreciate him for going this far out for the job. The second was that he was seriously going to hurt the guy he was after for making him go through this, even though he already was but that was in job description anyway. And third was that he desperately wished for something interesting to happen before he would go crazy.

Oddly enough his wish came true when guys started getting up out of their seats and started making demands for people's money and jewelry. He want paying attention at first because he was looking out the window but when a guy got to him he just looked at him and decided to let him say whatever cliché line he was going to.

"Hey you hand over your money" the thug said

"Yep definitely cliché" Ichigo thought "And why should I?"

"Because if you don't I'll kill you right here"

"You can try"

"You son of a –"as he said this two things happened. First was he pulled the trigger on the gun he was pointing at him, the second was before he could react, Ichigo was already out of the way of the bullet and punched him in the face so hard his head cracked the window it hit.

"Well, looks like I got my wish" Ichigo said as more thugs started crowding around him. He counted the number of thugs in the car with him

"five huh" he said as he finished counting " and let me guess there are probably more people in the cars up ahead, right?"

As he finished a thug came from behind to try and stab him, without even looking he caught his arm and threw him at the others. As the man got back up and the others primed their guns, he picked up what looked like a covered fishing rod.

"Hah this asshole is really going to try and fight us with a fishing rod!" as they started laughing at him until he took off the cover and they stopped laughing when they saw what it really was.

A katana.

But more specifically it was a Japanese daito as he pulled it out of his sheath they saw something else, that it was completely black.

"A sword? That's what you're going to fight us with? We have guns and outnumber you! Like you'll really be able to do any-"before he could finish that sentence Ichigo was in front of him and had slashed his chest, proven by the blood flowing from the wound.

"What the fuck!" another thug said

"Looks like I'll have about thirty minutes before the train get to the next stop" Ichigo started "that's about twenty more minutes than I need"

"Waste this asshole" the head thug said

As they started shooting Ichigo had to be careful that any of the stray bullets wouldn't hit the other passengers and the train car would also restrict how he would be able to swing his sword. Thinking fast he picked up the guy he cut first and used him as a shield as he started to advance on the thugs, throwing the now dead thug he used as a shield at the guy in the center of the isle made him stumble back and Ichigo used this chance to kick his face into the door. The kick was so strong that his face was now stuck. The third thug tried to come from behind like last time but this time instead of grabbing and throwing him Ichigo just stabbed his sword into his chest and let him fall to the ground

"You really don't want to do that" Ichigo said to the other two guards on either side of him as they both lined up their guns with his head

"And why not?" one of them questioned "there's two of us and nowhere for you to go now"

"I say we blow his brains out on three" the other said

"On three, or three then go"

"On three, it's always faster"

All Ichigo could do was sigh at the sheer stupidity of those two as this was going on

"One" the guy on the left said

"Two" the guy on his right said

"three" Ichigo finished for them and as they both fired their guns all Ichigo needed to do was duck as the bullets flew past him and hit the thugs in their foreheads.

"Dumbasses" Ichigo said as he opened the door to the next train car ahead of him. (After dislodging that one guys face from it of course)

As he proceeded through each of the train cars the thugs were getting more and more cowardly and scared since they could hear what was happening through their comm-devices.

"Oh shit man what're we gonna do?" one of them said in the second to last train car

"I have a plan just follow my lead" the leader said as he started grabbing a young boy, no older than 10 away from his mother and put him in a headlock with the gun pressed against his head, just as Ichigo walked through the door

"Didn't think you'd be that cowardly to take a kid hostage" Ichigo said to the thug

"Well you'll be surprised at what we'll be willing to do, now drop the sword" he replied

"Don't worry" Ichigo said to the kid "just close your eyes and everything will be fine"

Ichigo held his sword out in front of him with the blade pointing at the man holding the child. With one guy behind him with a gun touching the back of his head and another on his right he knew he had to act fast to save the kid so without a second thought….

He dropped his sword.

As its falling towards the ground everything happened before they really had time to react. The first thing that happened was that right before his sword hit the ground Ichigo did the one thing nobody would ever expect….. He kicked it. The kick was so strong that the sword flew perfectly into the guys chest and before the other two could do anything he had already grabbed the guy to his right and used him to shoot the guy was behind him and twisted his arm so that the gun was now pointing at his own head

"I dare you to pull the trigger" Ichigo said

"Please don't do this" he pleaded

Felling nice all Ichigo did to him was punch him hard enough to knock him out and left him on the ground, as Ichigo looked over the thugs on the ground and walked toward the one he kicked his sword at and in one pull he ripped the sword from his chest. He then took some cloth from the guy to clean it off when he heard someone say

"Thank you"

It was the woman whose son he had saved they were hugging and then the boy turned around and said

"Yeah thanks a lot Mr.!"

If anything Ichigo was amazed that the boy wasn't a complete mess after what just happened and how close he was to it all

"You were very strong through it all too, you did a good job" he told the kid

They soon noticed that the train was about to stop at the station so the two said thanks once again and he went to collect the rest of his things and cover up the sword once all that was done ( he made sure to put the bodies into the storage car and as for the blood he was lucky enough to have a grateful artist onboard the train so he said he would he would help him cover up for that one) he walked out the door to come face to face with the person who hired him in the first place.

"What the hell?" he questioned "why are you here?" Ichigo asked

The man he was talking to was a middle aged man who was pretty frail and didn't look like he would need anyone to be killed but it wasn't his job to question, only deliver but if there was anything Ichigo would think was weird it would be the odd glint on his hat

"Basically to oversee your test Mr. Kurosaki" he told him

"What test?"

"The test to see your skills and if they could be useful to us"

"Us? And who exactly are you?"

"Just a man doing his job, oh and before I forget here take this" the man then handed Ichigo an envelope with his name on it

"Everything you need to know is in that envelope and if you have any questions then go to the address on it and don't worry you won't be the only person there" the old man said while walking away

"Would somebody please tell me what the hell is going on" Ichigo said to no one in particular

"That's why I gave you the envelope Mr. Kurosaki" the man replied

"Dick" was all he could say towards the old and if he heard him, he didn't let it show.


"Well that was a good on wouldn't ya say "

"I agree with you gin" Aizen replied "and the invitation was passed on I'm sure he'll show"

"We should move on Aizen-sama" Tosen said

"I agree let's move to the next two people, how about the thief and hacker since we just saw the swordsman in action."

"Gotcha" gin said while typing on some keys on the computer "now to continue the show"
