Oh yea, here's the summary:
After the WW (winter war), all things seem peaceful in the Seretei. That is, until strange animal-Hollow like creatures begin to appear from God-knows-where. When a squad, from the American sector, return to the Seretei, things get complicated. Animals, Hollows, betrayals, and more surround this group of rag-tag shinigami. Prepare for another war, and the journey that brings you there.
Chapter 1:
It was about a month after the winter war, around January, when six exchange students arrived at Karakura High; four girls and two boys. The one leading the group, a fairly tall, dirty-blonde girl leapt high into the air, silver bells at the end of her bangs ringing like crazy with each bounce.
"Yay! We're back!" She yelled, pumping her fists into the air. She smiled brightly and ran ahead of the group she was in, jumping high with each springy step.
"Ayumu-san!" called a boy with short black hair. He ran after the blonde girl, apparently named Ayumu, passing a neon-orange haired boy in the process. Not looking back, he smirked, calling out, "Wish Sora was here... I found another like him!"
A second girl with shoulder length sky-blue hair and silver eyes laughed. She stopped short of the tall teenager, smiling pleasantly.
"Hi, I'm Yuki Suzuki. Pleased to meet you."
"Hi...Um…My name's Ichigo Kurosaki. You guys new?" He replied, slightly confused as to why this blue-haired girl was talking to him.
"Hey! Yuki-uki! Who're you talking to?"
Looking back towards the group his new acquaintance peeled off from at the sound of the mocking call, Ichigo saw that the girl named Ayumu was back, a large smile still on her face. "Heey!"
"Say, Ichigo, who's your new friend?" asked Rukia, randomly appearing behind the berry-head, causing him to jump a few inches. Clutching at his heart, the taller male took a few moments to catch his breath. "Jeez, Rukia! You're gunna give me a heart attack one of these days!"
"I'm Yuki. Pleased to meet you," the sapphire-haired girl greeted, adding a little bow to her salutations. Behind her back, she motioned for the others to come over. They did.
"And all of you are...?" asked Rukia and Ichigo simultaneously, eyeing the large group of rag-tag students. They couldn't have been related…
"Makiguchi Chika," said the third girl with long, braided jet-black hair and emerald eyes.
"Shuuki Aidme," whispered yet another girl, cowering behind Yuki. She gulped, afraid of the tall male.
"I'm Mazaaki Fuji. What's up?" The other boy grinned widely, brushing a strand of straw-colored hair from his blue topaz eyes.
"Carter Williams," grunted the first boy, recognized as the one who chased after the hyper blonde.
"And I'm Ayumu Fujiwara. Please to meet you!" smiled the last girl, tossing her head from side to side, much like a wet dog would, except slower. The bells in her hair reminded Ichigo of those Kenpachi had in his. Unconsciously, a shiver ran down his spine. That psychopath creeped him out, big time.
"So, you're the new students?" asked Rukia, head cocked to the side, much like a curious puppy.
"Yep! We're back. B-b-b-back to the future!" Ayumu sang, pointing upwards and nodding her head as if she were some sort of punk rocker. Then a round of giggles burst from her and her face was soon flushed with color.
"Ayu-chan, we need to get to class. We spent enough time talking," reminded Yuki, rolling her metallic eyes, snatching Ayumu's hand and leading her away from the others. Shuuki followed the other girls automatically; only too glad to be away from the scary boy.
"We'd better go too," sighed Mazaaki. He frowned and blew a wisp of hair from his eyes, not wanting to go. "Come on you guys, we need to make sure she doesn't do anything too crazy, like accidentally setting off the fire alarm or something… She's still impatient to see the taichou again."
"Right," the others sounded, nodding in agreement. They waved goodbye to Ichigo and Rukia and left in a herd, talking in hushed tones amongst themselves.
"They're hiding something." Rukia voiced, violet eyes narrowing at the parade of new students. "Even if you didn't see the way they acted, I did. Their actions are ones of secrecy. They are hiding something and I plan to find out what."
"When did you begin to act like Orihime?" asked Ichigo disapprovingly, turning towards the doors of the school and running a hand through his traffic-cone-hued hair.
"After the war," muttered Rukia, her voice almost inaudible. Her friend's face fell and he nodded knowingly. The Soul Reapers, Vizards, and humans were all still trying to recover from the war and cope with all of the chaos that had happened.

The introductions of Ayumu and her friends into their class went...well. If you called a hyper girl hugging the teacher and nearly squeezing her to death, another girl literally refusing to say her name, and a boy who looked increasingly wary of the other people in the classroom, as well. The rest of the day was calmer, apart from a few incidents.
It was lunch when things started to get weird. The new students had suddenly disappeared without a trace right before the bell, as did the berry-head. Ichigo disappearing was a common thing, and classmates were used to having him run off randomly and not appearing again for another week...but, six new students vanishing at the same time was just too weird. People were beginning to whisper theories to themselves, and Rukia had to cover for all of them.
"Ayumu-san told me that one of her friends was sick, so they all had to leave school," lied Rukia through her teeth for what seemed to be the seventy-eighth time. The student nodded, believing the raven-haired girl's fib. The Kuchiki girl sighed, relieved that people would listen to that horrible job of lying. Meanwhile, Ichigo had just finished off the last of a handful of Hollows at the park. That was, until a Garganta opened up and a sea of Hollows filed through. That was just the least of his problems. That or six Shinigami appear from who knows where. The most terrifying thing was, Ichigo recognized all of them from school: Ayumu, Yuki, Carter, Mazaaki, Shuuki, and Chika.
What was weirder was Ayumu wore a cerulean under-sided white captains' haori and a feral smile upon her face, fire leaping within robin's egg blue eyes. She smirked, terrifying gaze being directed towards the Substitute.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, let's kick some Hollow tail. That is, if you can keep up." She challenged fiercely, unsheathed zanpakuto gleaming blue with the outburst of cyan-colored spirit energy. Beginning a maniac laugh, she dove into the vast multitude of Hollows, eyes glazing over the same way Kenpachi's does when he fights.
"What the hell?" exclaimed Ichigo, staring dumfounded at the six with wide chocolate eyes. The boy called Mazaaki waved a friendly hello, then followed his captain's lead and jumped into the sea of Hollows, everyone else following after, Ayumu staying behind.
"What the hell are you?!" demanded the orange-haired Soul Reaper, failing to dodge a Hollow arm aimed his way. Luckily, a silver-edged blade was there to intercept it, and the dark spirit was quickly killed.
Zaraki-like persona melting away for a brief moment, the blonde girl smiled warmly and saluted him.
"Ayumu Fujiwara, Captain of the Eight Squad of the American Division." Ayumu recited before grinning like a little kid. Waving to Ichigo, the eccentric female darted back into the brawl, leaving the teenager to watch the six shinigami slay the hollows. Not one of them released their Shikai.
"So, how was it, Captain?" asked Yuki, absentmindedly wiping some blood off her blade.
"I'm still confused!" yelled Ichigo, replacing Zangestu on his back once the Hollow threat was no more.
"Don't worry Ichigo," Chika comforted warmly. "We're just the same as you."
"We-ell, not exactly. We're not Sora-chan," joked Shuuki, trying unsuccessfully to hide a snicker in his hand.
"That's true." agreed Carter, nodding slowly, smirking.
The Substitute shinigami watched the group laugh together, still slightly confused, but becoming even more so when a Senkaimon opened and two shinigami walked out.
"Ayumu-san, why did you leave the squad without telling anyone? Kuroi just happened to get pissed at Sora along the way." Scolded one of the two boys. Stepping out of the light, the speaker had wind blown hair and dark, endless eyes. The girl standing next to him had long black hair, tied into a ponytail, and lavender eyes. Her mouth was angled down into a 'you're in trouble face'.
"Sora!" exclaimed Shuuki, "What happened?"
"Kuroi happened," growled the Third Seat irritably, a vein popping on his brow.
"Great…Just what I needed…More hooligans," murmured Ichigo with a heavy sigh. "Who the hell are you?" asked Ichigo quite rudely, dark eyes narrowing.
"Tamaki, Ayumu's lieutenant. This is Sora. He's our Third Seat," replied Tamaki, coldly, a quiet growl escaping his throat. "Show some respect."
"He?" wondered Ichigo aloud, going brain-dead from one surprising event after another. It was enough to make him crack.
"So, answer me, Captain. Why the hell did you leave without telling anyone? And why was I left in charge of the other members?" asked Tamaki, looking pissed.
"Hee hee!" Ayumu laughed mischievously, sheathing her sword and skipping around her lieutenant. "I just wanted to see my old captain again. I know he'll be happy to see me! I'm so excited!" Without warning, she shrieked and vibrated with excitement, throwing her arms into the air. "OMG YAY!"
"Shut up, Ayumu-taichou. You need to go home." scowled Tamaki, not knowing if he was to get punished for telling his superior to shut up.
"Never!" yelled the captain defiantly, stomping her foot and pouting up a storm. "Bite me!"
"Ayumu?" A man's rough voice came out of the blue followed by the sound of many jingling bells.
At the sound of the ringing, the girl's face lit up and she squealed again.
"Kenny!" she yelled, breaking off from the group and dashing as if an Espada were on her heels around the corner, running into the man and giving him a bone-crushing hug. "I missed you, Kenny!"
"…You gotta be kidding me. Kenpachi? Jesus! Why the hell did you show up?" demanded Ichigo, running a hand through his hair and almost tearing it out.
It was final; the weeks following the Winter war had become more chaotic and weirder than the orange-haired Substitute could handle. First, six new students, then they end up being Shinigami. To top it all off, one of them actually hugged Kenpachi Zaraki: the craziest psychopath in history.
Kai: Ok, I had a hard time ending this chapter. *sigh* I should get to sleep. Oh, thanks to all the people who sent in their Oc's! ok, the first chapter is finished and the second one will be uploaded...eventually. Oh, and this it totally random but, poor Staark!
