What Happens If (?) And (?) Are In The Same Room?

Prologue: The Plan


I've decided to write about how Kurotsuchi and Inui met. Although I thought about using Urahara, I ended up with the freaky captain.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Prince of Tennis


Inui was strolling down the street when he bumped into a person. He looked up but ended up looking down for the person he bumped into was ten centimeter shorter. It was strange to see this person, a mask with that looked skeletal like to it.

"Excuse me." The creepy guy, who would have freaked everyone if Inui wasn't that experience with beyond freaky events. The pair stared on forever, having their tiny private conservation mentally, while people walked past them on the sidewalk. The staring continued until Kurotsuchi spoke. "Meet you back in an hour."

They scattered away looking for their victims.

Tennis court at Seigaku

Everyone was practicing when Inui came in with an evil look in his eyes. He pushed up his glasses before speaking.

"Minna, I have a surprise waiting for you."

All the regulars plus a certain talkative freshmen could imagine what new surprises Inui could have waiting for them. Tezuka, Oishi, Kikumaru, Kaidoh, Momo, Kawamura, Fuji, Echizen, and Horio (a/n: I don't know what he's doing here…) all sweat-dropped.

"If anyone doesn't want to come, they are welcome to drink my newly made special surprise." Inui added when he saw the faces. The other members of the tennis club was no where to be found, leaving it like a barren desert (they were all hiding. poor Horio was stuck where he was).

In Soul Society

Kurotsuchi walked into the huge room of the first division room, where all the captains (1), vice captains, people residing outside of Soul Society (Ichigo, Orihime, Yoruichi, and Urahara), and some minor subordinates were having a meeting.

"Everyone, I have a place I have to show you." No one asked questions for if they had who knows what could happen to them if they disagree on going.

Everyone reluctantly followed him, knowing that whatever the crazy scientist has in mind. So Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihouin, Shigekuni Yamamoto, Soi Fong, Gin Ichimaru, Izuru Kira, Retsu Unohana, Hanatarou Yamada, Sousuke Aizen, Momo Hinamori, Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, Sajin Komamura, Shunsui Kyouraku, Nanao Ise, Shuuhei Hisagi, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Rangiku Matsumoto, Kenpachi Zaraki, Yachiru Kusajishi, Ikkaku Madarame, Yumichika Ayasegawa, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Nemu Kurotsuchi, and Jyuushiro Ukitake went to wherever they were going.

In a room that looks too much like a waiting room

The two groups literally bumped into each other. Ichigo, Renji, Momo, and Kaidoh were about to have a fist fight until the two most serious ones of the groups (2) pulled them away.

Once inside Inui explained. "Kurotsuchi and I have decided to put all the interesting people together in a room for an hour. Those who fail to stay will be punished with…" He took out a bottle of Inui before continuing. "my newly improved version of all my previous drinks in one. I tested on a certain person that hasn't fainted on my most recent juices (3). " Everyone including the shinigami gasped at what Inui took out. It was bubbling to the top of the bottle and was still bubbling madly that it might explode. The contents were the horrifying color of (insert color here). "Kurotsuchi has offered a free night at his division's lab." The shinigami gasped. The thought of staying, I mean being locked up, with the craziest person in Soul Society was something people prefer to die than go there. But since the tennis players didn't know a thing about shinigami, they had nothing to worry about. That was before Ichigo whispered the horrifying thing about Kurotsuchi's lab to Horio, who whispered it to the others. Soon all the people in the room was sweat-dropping.

The dark cloud soon thickened as Kurotsuchi produced a hat full of everyone's names on pieces of papers. "And the first pair in the room is…" The tension held as he and Inui picked up a name from the tennis players and one from the shinigami.

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT ONE WHERE THE NEXT PAIR FACES TORTURE…


(1) - This is a world where Aizen, Ichimaru, and Tousen are not in Hueco Mundo, but are still evil. It's for the sake of the story.

(2) – Those who are itching to find out who the most serious are Tezuka (of course) and Kuchiki (Rukia and ni-sama slapped them on their heads)

(3) – It is not Fuji. Look at my profile to find out.

A/N: the prince of tennis characters can see the shinigami otherwise there is no point in writing a fanfic where the characters can't see each other. Just think of it as Urahara's inventions doing its work.

The next pair is I.G. and F.S.
