Hey folks, a new story line if you please. Some changes are happening and new opportunities are being presented. As a formality, I don't own Bleach or any of the cannon characters. I reserve the right on only my brain.

Openings

"You know I'm thirty now. People are going to think that I have a lolita complex or something." He took a bite of his dinner.

"What? How do you think that I feel having a boyfriend that's only about a fifth of my age?" She retorted quietly, before taking a bite of her own dinner.

"Well couldn't Urahara make you a gigai that was at least a little older looking? It looks like I'm having dinner with my daughter." He grumbled softly.

"I didn't hear any complaints last night." She said with a sly grin on her face.

He shook his head and softly laughed. "No and you never will hear any. As I remember you were begging me for some sleep."

At this she blushed a very deep crimson. "Um, about that… I don't have anything planned for the next few days so if you're not doing anything…."

"Summer break is on and I only have a minimal amount of paperwork before the next semester of school. So Miss Kuchiki, I am at your disposal." He replied with one of his trademark grins.

"Good. Is Kon still around? I think you might need him for a while." She asked already knowing the answer.

"Who do you think teaches my classes when there is something happening requiring me to be elsewhere? And from what I've learned the students love it when he takes over. Kon also loves the teaching gig even if it is just part time in my place as me."

"Good because I have a lot to discuss with you. I think that Kon might like to hear this too." Her smile was elusive.

"Then let's finish our meal and go home. I want to hear what has you being so cryptic."

They finished their meal and drove the short drive to his home. When they entered he called out. "Hey Kon, we're home. Come on out and talk with us."

"NEEEEE-SANNNN!!!!" The lion plushie screamed as he threw himself at Rukia.

"I've missed you too you pervert. Now calm down I have something to discuss with the both of you." She gave Kon a quick hug and then set him on the table before them.

"Ok Rukia, tell me what's going on." Ichigo crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned back against the wall.

"Well it's a combination of things really. First; old man Yamamoto is going to retire next month. He has had enough and after being the captain of the first division for well over a thousand years he has decided to kick back and enjoy some well earned relaxation time before he dies and get's reincarnated here on earth." She paused to see their reaction. Ichigo remained neutral and not scowling, so she went on. "He is having Ukitake take his place and that leaves an opening for a captain." She paused again. "Can you see where I'm going with this?"

"I think so. They would have me fill that opening? But isn't Ikkaku also qualified for the position?" Ichigo asked clearly considering the offer.

"Hey! Wait a minute! Why do you want my input on this?" Kon asked clearly perplexed.

"Well, If Ichigo takes the offer then you will become Ichigo here in the real world and take over his teaching duties and his life. It means that other than visits from us on business, you are Ichigo Kurosaki to the rest of the world." Rukia said as plainly as she could.

"What about my family? Dad, Karin, and Yuzu?" Ichigo asked with more than a little concern.

"Ichigo, you're thirty years old. Your dad was a captain in Soul Society, and both Karin and Yuzu already know about your moonlighting. As for Kon taking over I'm sure that they will treat him like they treat you. Your father already knows the difference between you and he likes Kon. Yuzu loves him and Karin, well she is Karin. As long as you tell them I'm sure that they won't mind."

"Ok, so maybe I'll tell them if I decide to take the job, but why does old man Yamamoto want me to take over the thirteenth division?" He asked.

"Well, he has kept his eye on you since the first time you crashed the gates of Soul Society. He was impressed with your abilities back then and has only become more impressed over time. He has seen how you have grown into a thoughtful man and a hard worker who takes his responsibilities seriously. The ability to do paperwork was also noted." She grinned at the last comment. "Seriously, He wanted you to come sooner but held off because he felt that he owed you for all the help you have provided over the years."

"Is he the only one that wants me to come and run the thirteenth division?" Asked Ichigo, eyeing Rukia closely.

"Ah, no, most of the captains and vice captains also endorsed this." She said being evasive.

"Rukia Kuchiki, you know what I meant. How do you feel about me taking over the thirteenth division and becoming your commanding officer?" He pressed her.

"She looked away and blushed slightly. "Um, well, I was the one that suggested it to Nii-sama and he brought it to Yamamoto. I was being a little selfish I think but I'm not sorry."

"Hey! I'm still here! I'm going to become Ichigo on a full time basis?" Kon had plopped down into a sitting position with his mouth open in shock.

"Kon, if I take this job it means that you have to become a real teacher. Do you think you can handle that? It also means that you have to be somewhat like me. I couldn't expect you to act like me all the time and I know that your personality will eventually show through but it does mean that you will have to take responsibility for your actions also." Ichigo said with a stern voice.

"Just who do you think did half of your homework while you were in college? Those nights you and Rukia disappeared out the window and didn't come back until dawn? I did it because I needed something to do. As I see it half of your teaching credentials belong to me anyway." The plushie crossed his short arms over his chest looking rather miffed.

"Ah, you're right." Ichigo said scratching the back of his head.

"Um, well, we did have important business to attend to." Rukia said with a hard blush as she looked away again.

"I'm sure it was hard business as your hair was always mussed up when you got back." Kon said with a digging attitude. This earned him a flying trip across the house into the living room.

Ichigo smirked at Kon's crying as the plushie picked himself up and trudged back to the table. "That will teach you to be nicer to Rukia."

Rukia had recovered her calm and was sitting calmly sipping her tea that Ichigo had poured for her. "Well Kon, This depends on you. Ichigo could just die here and that would be that leaving you as a rouge mod soul and you know what that means don't you?" Her eyes were closed and she was scowling.

"I get it. I just have one question. Would you mind me making a pass at that new teacher, Yumi?" The picture of the luscious brown haired teacher swam into his mind.

"Kon, I'm not going to be around to stop you but you better remember my words about responsibility. You will be carrying the Kurosaki name and if you do anything to destroy that name I'll be back to make sure that you pay the full price for your actions, provided that Dad doesn't get to you first, or Karin for that matter."

Kon trembled at the thought of Karin coming for him. She had become a famous women's soccer player and her kick could send most goal tenders into spasms of terror. He didn't want to imagine what she would kick out of him if he made her mad. "I see your point. I'll keep it toned down."

Rukia listened and then her eyes shot open. "Are you taking the job?" The look of excitement in her eyes was well worth the wait.

"It took you long enough to understand. We can go and talk to Dad in the morning about this. Yuzu should be over to visit him in the afternoon and then we can call Karin where ever she's at. Kon you're coming too."

"That's 'Sensei' to you now. The plushie said with a smug expression on his face.

Just then Rukia's cell phone started to chirp the theme to the chappie show. "Hollow, about five blocks from here." She looked up at Ichigo with a gleam in her eye. "Race you."

Ichigo had already slammed the substitute badge into his chest liberating himself from his body. "Race hell, climb on and let's go have some fun!"

She marveled at the change that took place because in soul reaper form he was still about eighteen years old in appearance. His soul form had not aged anywhere near as fast as his body had and for that she was thankful.

Kon was waving his arms and shouting. "What about me?"

Ichigo turned to Kon and pressed the badge against the plushie and grabbed the green pill that popped out. He dropped the pill into the mouth of his body and slapped his cheek gently. "Behave yourself. We'll be back soon."

Rukia jumped onto his back and she directed them as he hopped from rooftop to rooftop.

Kon watched them depart. "Yeah, sure you'll be back. I won't see you till dawn you horny teenagers! Now where did I put Yumi's phone number?"
