Ch.1-

"Didn't you hear? Those Merceneries destroyed 9 villages on the North side and 4 on the east." A man said, While keeping a lookout because his duty was to single the bell if he was to spot the Band of Seven, Because rumors of the Band of seven heading West was known throughout the whole village, but everyone was already getting prepared, because in two-four more days they'll be here so there was no need to worry.

"Yes, They killed every villager without remorse, ruthless Bastards..." The other man replied, He was a surviver of one of the north villages, but His family and friends were killed in front of his eyes; Which made him dispise The Band of Seven to the very depts of his now black heart-Every single one of them.

"I'm going to go on my Break now" The First man stated leaving his position for the day, The second man followed suit, "I'm coming too, wait up." As he left he failed to noticed a shadow in the far east.

Standing under the sun Rukia waited for her two friends, Noticing The both of them tumbling down until they both crashed into the dirt ground. The both of them grabbing, and punching a each other.

"Baka Strawberry you need to watch where you step you could've killed both of us."

"Actually if your head wasn't too big then we wouldn't have this problem, Pineapple~"

"Nani!"

Hearing the two Some of the villagers stopped their daily lives observing the bickering duo, they were known thoughout the whole village as that because every time they're together they'll somehow get into a argument for no apparent reason, which will last kami know's how long.

'Baka Ichigo, Baka Renji' Sighing Rukia walked to their figures punching them both in the head causing them to both stop and rub their bruised heads, "What was that for Rukia?" they both questioned in unsion.

"Do I need an answer?"

Thinking for a minute they both shook their heads.

"So Rukia, How was your day?" Renji asked dusting off dirt from his hakama, and fixing his hair.

"Good, Thanks." Looking at Renji and Ichigo, "So was there any sight of the Merceneries?" Rukia questioned.

"No, but It'll take a couple of days for them to come over here since they were last seen on the eastern side." Renji said.

"Oh! I forgot-" She dugged into her sleeve pocket revealing a letter. "I was told by Izuru-Taichiou to give this to you, he said you we're to read it tonight and follow the directions it has, Plus no one is to know about this. NO ONE..." She explained stressing the last words knowing them. She then handed it both to Renji and Ichigo.

"Do we read it now?"Ichigo questioned looking at the letter.

"No! Baka she said tonight" Renji Re-explained.

"Ok-Ok, I got it. Sheesh..."

"So do you guys understand?" Seeing their head shake yes she took that as an answer, "Well I got to get going."

"Wait, where are you going?" Ichigo asked knowing the three of them go and hangout have dinner after their duty was finished everyday.

"Sorry, But I promised Nemu I would help her today." Rukia said, leaving. "Okay, bye..."They both waved at the disappearing Rukia. When she was gone Ichigo turned to Renji, "So~You want to go and eat now?".

"Sure, but we're going to this new resturant that opened yesterday and people say it's amazing." Renji stated putting the letter in his pocket.

As Renji and Ichigo left to go eat, Rukia was helping Nemu move items, Anti-poisons, Medicines, and weapons onto a trailer to take to the Village hidden hideout.

"Arigatou, Rukia-san for helping me with this." Nemu thanked Rukia because it was easier with an extra hand, plus they can finish quicker before they come.

"No problem, So where is all this stuff going?"Rukia asked putting a box full of herbs on the trailer.

"To the village's hidden hideout." Nemu responed picking up another box.

"Where's that?"

"I'm not authorized to tell you that information."Nemu stated putting the box on the trailer.

"I'm sorry for asking."Rukia apoligized, 'With all this we might be able to finish by night.' She Thought looking out the window, 'It's already sunset.'

On the far east side of the village close to the river was a group of six men sitting down some relaxing, while the other fixing and sharping their weapons.

"How long is Bankotsu going to take, I'm soo bored~" A womanly voice whined, While playing with a leaf stem in his mouth.

"Jakotsu-" The said person turned looking at his brother Renkotsu, "Hmm, What is it Renkotsu?"

"Did Bankotsu tell you what we are going to do?" Renkotsu looked at jakotsu who began remembering if Bankotsu told what they we're doing.

"Not that I know of..." Jakotsu replied lying in the grass chewing on the stem.

"I'm Back."

Everyone perked up to the voice looking at the figure of their leader. "Bankotsu your finally back~" Jakotsu cheered run up to him, "So did you find anything?"

"Yes." Bankotsu said, sitting down on a boulder. "Listen everyone!" Bankotsu spoked up seeing everyone listening he resumed, "Up west there is a village where there is no defense which will make it easy for us to enter, So I want everyone to get ready because we're going to have some fun,"
