"Tōsen-sensei? Hmm."

"Did he look like this?" Rukia questioned producing an image of a brown rabbit with glasses that carried her version Suzumishi.

"Stupid! Those ugly pictures of yours are gonna confuse them even more & they can't carry swords at school!" Ichigo exclaimed flipping up the table after his rant.

"Ichi-nii how can you be so cruel? Rukia-nee's drawings are just so cute!" Yuzu wailed.

"Minus the bunny ears & sword that's him." Karin stated, apparently bored.

"You can tell from that ugly drawing?"

"Of course she can, my pictures are perfect! I'm practically the next Potato." Rukia defended sending him a death glare. "Picasso?" Yuzu chirped in. Ichigo sighed, retreating a few steps. "Ok thanks girls." She smiled at the twins & dragged Ichigo into his room. "I'm going to contact ukitake-taicho then Soutaicho."

Upon entering the World of the living Hitsugaya received Rukia's message via soul pager, his team was to meet at Ichigo's place in 5 minutes. Hitsugaya swept in through the window while Rangiku went through the front door which was opened by Renji. Both clad in gigais, Rangiku's more revealing, left Isshin to drool on the floor while Karin kicked him in the face.

"Are Ayesegawa &Madarame here yet?" The icy taicho asked impatiently. Hearing their names they popped right out of Ichigo's ceiling where a light fixture had been which caused him to groan.

"Gin & Tōsen are what?!" Rangiku shouted.

"Hmm..." the captain trailed off in thought "This has definitely taken a turn for the worse. For now, we'll just monitor their activity, do not engage in battle unless they start fighting first, understood?"

Xxxxx

Outside listening was Yuzu, who had even dragged Karin along. They pressed their glass cups to Ichigo's door for better audio. Although Karin knew for a fact these weren't just some of her brother's normal high school friends. Their reiastu's were way too high for that, she knew they were the same as her brother, shinigami.

"When do you think the arrancars will show up next?" a girl asked.

"Who knows, as long as they're beautiful I want to fight against them!" exclaimed an emasculate voice.

"Hmm they must be talking about a book or tv show..." Yuzu thought aloud. "Yeah that's it." Karin covered quickly, not wanting her sister to inquire further. "Now lets go to the kitchen & start preparing dinner, I'm sure Ichi-nii's friends will be hungry." Karin suggested.

The girls thumped downstairs to start the meal for their interesting guests, while the shinigami finished talking about the current situation.

"Earlier I explained their whole predicament to Soutaicho. He ordered me to blend in a class so I could watch over Yuzu & Karin's school while Rangiku, Yumichika, and Ikkaku would monitor the high school." Toushiro reported after wrapping up his conversation & snapping his soul pager shut. Despite his calm demeanor every in the room was on the verge of laughing. THE 10th squad taicho as an elementary schooler. Child prodigy, cold, unemotional, aloof, & observant could be adjectives that coined the captain's personality, but elementary schooler was on a whole new level.

"If you're done internally laughing, which I know you all are, you're dismissed. Go patrol." He ordered closing his eyes to keep his composure.

Usually the shinigami would've flash stepped through the window, but gigais jumping out a window would most likely alert the neighbors. They all piled out of Ichigo's cramped room & down the stairs where they met Yuzu cooking & Karin setting the table.

"Ichi-nii, would your friends care to stay for dinner? It'd be just lovely if they stayed." She propositioned with a polite smile.

"Free food?!" Renji looked to Toushiro pleadingly.

"Fine." He agreed. Secretly happy to fill his hungry stomach.

The group plopped down around the table while Yuzu finished serving the side dishes.

Renji's eyes lit up at the sight of food without chores after. He was content to eat his heart's desire without being called a freeloader by some snotty kids and a shady shopkeeper. Ikkaku also looked like a starving animal, even Yumichika was impressed with the beautiful display of food.

"Ok everyone dig in." Yuzu smiled placing the last dishes down.

"You don't need to say that twice!" Renji jumped in, filling his bowl. The rest of the crew followed his example.
