"Okay let's get this over with" Ichigo said.

"Hmm~ Hmm~Hmm. Haaaa yay! So nice to have a refreshing bath early in the afternoon!" A bucket wearing Hiyori said."... Hey! How come no one replying? Shit!"

"Ahh Hiyori, vulgar as always." Ichigo mused.

"She's always like this?" Uryu questioned.

"You mean loud and in your face for the smallest of reasons? Yup." Ichigo said

"If you mean Love, he went to buy jump and coffee." Lisa responded

"Then why don't you reply, Lisa?" Hiyori yelled. "I don't have a key, I can't open the door! Come here!"

"Hachi has the key"

"And where is Hachi?"

"He went to a cafe cos he said he was hot."

"Of course he was hot. He wore a suit to a bathhouse that idiot!"

"For once she makes a valid point." Ichigo said.

!

" I can smell.. Soul reaper?"

Shh

Turning her head, Hiyori saw what appeared to be a crack in space.

"Things just keep getting stranger and stranger. What next? Me unlocking bankai?" Rukia questioned with a bit of sweat sliding down her face.

"Hey, don't sell yourself short. If someone like me could unlock bankai, then why the hell couldn't you do it" Ichigo said.

"Thanks Ichigo." Rukia responded, with a red tinge on her face

"No problem."

"... What's that?"

Yuki's eyes slowly climbed open. A bit of drool going down his face.

"Ah! Sorry, I wasn't listening." Yuki tiredly said.

"I said nothing" Ichigo deadpanned.

"It's weird reading myself doing and saying things I've never done"

"Weirder than being summoned to a strange created by someone who's obsessed with the color white?"

"Let's not get crazy here, Uryu"

"Now that you're awake, leave." Icgo bluntly said.

"Ichigo, you're being mean again!" Orihime pouted at him.

"I haven't done anything. That was my future self." Ichigo tiredly replied.

"Yeah, but I'm not there in the future so I have chastise you here!" Orihime said. Her pout somehow getting cuter.

"Please stop."

"What?"

"Here I am! Bringing some delicious bread!" Orihime said while barging into Ichigo's room. "Oh you're awake that's great!" She said to Yuki.

"You sure it's "Delicious"? If they were throwing it away it must be unpopular"

"You won't know if you don't try it !"

"It's as Orihime said" Uryu said as he stepped into the room. "She always looks happy when she eats it. You show no tact, as usual, Ichigo."

"The hell, Uryu!? What the shit is that supposed to mean!?"

"I think my words were fairly self explanatory."

"Don't play smart with me, Uryu!"

"I'm hardly playing."

"Would you both just knock it out. We have a future to save afterall." Rukia interrupted.

"Fine." Both grudgingly agreed.

"Yeah" Chad agreed as he ducked into the room.

"Shut up! By the way, why the hell did you all just barge into my room without at least ringing the doorbell?"

"We ran into Yuzu on the way here. Why don't you make yourself useful and wash the dishes so that we can share the bread instead of whining."

"Dammit Uryu, I'm getting sick and tired of your shit!"

"Hn."

"Don't you "Hn" me you damn bastard!"

"You be quiet! Don't give me orders in my own house!"

"It wasn't an order, it's advice and I recommend that you follow it."

"Shut up!"

Yuki simply sat there. Listening as the two went back and forth. He was completely confused.

"Poor guy. You really aren't being helpful, Ichigo."

"I'm not a babysitter, Rukia. If he's confused it's probably his own damn fault."

"AHHHHHH!"

"You shut up too!"

"You.. You're the guy from yesterday..."

"It did seem that you weren't saying anything. Did you you just remember?" Ichigo questioned. "By the way, it's not yesterday that was two days ago. You were asleep for a full day."

Yuki's eyes widened as he started remembering what took place days ago

-2 Days Ago-

*SLASH*

Ichigo casually bisected another hollow.

"Zangetsu... He's different as well." Ichigo muttered while gazing at the screen. How the hell did I get my powers back? What happened to me?

Yuki stared on in shock as a group of large hollows charged at Ichigo. But before they could get a swarm of light blue arrows burst through them.

"Took ya long enough, Uryu."

"Please, everything was under control."

"That was dangerous, Ichigo" Uryu said as he arrived on the scene.

"What are you saying? Your arrow was dangerous. Did you come here to be in my way?"

"What?"

Yuki was barely conscious, now gazing at Shino's body.

"I finished first aid healing. I'll finish when we're done." Orihime cheerily said, with Chad standing guard by her.

"Phew. Thank goodness I got there on time." Orihime said.

"Can't be helped. Let's take care of this." Ichigo stated.

Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu all stood side by side. Ready to finish off all the hollows.

"It's so good to be able to fight by everyone's side again. I'm so happy." Orihime said, tears streaking down her face. She felt a hand land on her hand, turning, she saw Ichigo smiling down at her. Smiling back, she turned back to the image of them standing side by side.

-Present-

Wow... They managed to destroy all those hollows an in instant. I heard that the substitute soul reaper was strong but...

"Here." Ichigo said as thrusted a plate with food on it at Yuki. "It's your share. You need to get in your gigai first."

Yuki glanced to his right.

"AHHHH" And screamed as he saw a lifeless version of himself.

"You're really annoying. Who the hell is scared of his own gigai?."

"Well Ichigo, Try putting yourself in his shoes." Rukia said.

"It's still weird. It's like being scared of your own reflection."

"Fair point."

"N-no I mean... I shouldn't be doing this.." He said exhaustively. "Shino! Where's Shino!" He yelled.

"I'm back" Shino said as she casually walked into the room. "I got some cola-" She started, but quickly noticed that Yuki was awake. "Yuki.." She said with her eyes watering and dropping the bag filled with soda.

"Shino! I'm glad you're okay!"

"See Ichigo! they're perfect for each other!"

"I really think you're reading too deeply into this."

"YOU ARE SO SHAMEFUL!" She yelled as she clotheslined Yuki.

"Huh, that looks strangely familiar."

"Gee I wonder why, Ichigo."

"Ugh!"

"Why the hell did you sleep all day if your wounds were fully healed!" Shino screamed.

"Wait, wait Shino! That really hurts!"

"You shouldn't be whining about this little bit of pain! It's pathetic!"

"How come most of the girls I meet are temperamental midgets..." Ichigo muttered to himself.

"What was that, Ichigo?" Rukia said with a 'pleasant' smile on her face.

"Absolutely nothing!" Ichigo quickly replied. Jeez, can't a guy catch a break?

"Oh well. let's eat" Ichigo said while ignoring the commotion going on behind him.

"I think he might like roasted mackerel. Let's leave that for him." Uryu said

"I bet you just don't want to eat it yourself"

"Ikkaku!"

Ikkaku was running and turned his head and saw Yumichika catching up to him

"Haven't see those two in a while." Ichigo said.

"Did you have news?"

"Of course that's why I'm running!" Ikkaku replied. "The people at the Rukongai can't can't just disappear on their own! I don't know what's happening, but whoever's doing it shouldn't underestimate my division!"

"Things are really getting out of hand" Chad said.

"By the way.." Ichigo started " What's your name?" Ichigo finished while turning back to look at Yuki.

"You're right.." A man said. "I'll tell you. Ivan." A man with slicked back hair and a mask covering his left eye.

"An arrancar!?" Rukia said

"The hell is an arrancar doing in my room?" Ichigo said.

"Didn't the Soul Society have a truce with the remaining arrancar" Uryu questioned.

"Yes, but they're not supposed leave the Hueco Mundo." Rukia answered.

"Well let's see what's going on" Chad said.

"Right"

Everyone turned to look at the well dressed arrancar.

"Did you want me to say my full name? Ivan Azgiaro" He continued. Do you have any other questions? He finished with a cocky smile on his face.

"I don't give a damn who you are." Ichigo said while glaring. "Get the hell of my bed.

"That's it for this chapter. Who's next?"

"I'll do it." Rukia said while taking the book. "Let's see Chapter 3: Bad recognition..."

A/N: Just wanted to say chapter length and the time it takes me to write everything out depends entirely on the manga. Hope whoever's bothering to read this enjoyed the chapter.
