Heya! Here's the 2nd chapter, sorry it's short tho...

few guidelines:

- a character POV will be written like this [char]

otherwise, it's in 3rd person POV

- 'thoughts'

Disclaimer: I do not own neither bleach nor hp, so yeah just this story plot is mine ;)

[Ichigo]

Another day has gone by, and I'm only three months away from graduating high school. After that I don't know whether I'll stay here and finish college, I know Kyouraku-san has been understanding in my situation and do not pressure me on what should I or shouldn't do, and I don't wanna abuse that. Maybe, I should reside permanently in soul society.

Surely time flies quickly, but I hope those memories from the blood war will forever be marred in my head. Moreover, learning the truth behind my mother's death is really shocking but I feel the burden I placed upon myself has been lifted. To think I'm also a Shiba, it's a lot to take in, and that part shocks even Rukia.

Crap, all this thinking made me stay up longer than I thought. At least I can still sleep for 4 hours before heading out to my division for the new recruits; hopefully Lisa won't corrupt them with her perverted magazines. I swear Keigo will jump in joy when he sees her stash.

It's been almost 2 weeks since Akon discovers the disturbance in Europe, and he concludes that it is time to consult his captain over the situation as it has been escalating fast.

Upon arriving in his Captain's office, he pushes the button attached besides the door. It reveals a small screen with small speaker & lens attached to it and a pad with complex structure that only his captain knows how to unlock. 'New security system eh? This is somewhat different from the others' he thought.

Since the reconstruction and rebuilding of Sereitei begun, the twelfth division is responsible for developing new alarm and security system. Mayuri took this task personally especially building a new security system in his personal laboratory and twelfth division's research facility by himself, careful not to repeat the previous incident of someone breaking in his office.

"What is so important that you have to disturb me in my personal lab, Akon?" Mayuri said with a menacing tone without even turning towards the screen that suddenly pops up against the wall.

"Kurotsuchi-taichou, we have some disturbing situation over Europe"

"I'll look over it later when I'm done here" 'hmmmm just a few more dosage for this Arrancar, that Quincy's blood sure held a lot of significant data'.

Akon noticed that his captain seemed so engrossed with his new lab rat and not minding his inquiry, he hurriedly said,"But taichou, it is important you check this out now. I've been keeping tabs on the situation over there for the past two weeks and the disturbance is escalating fast, I never thought that something like this will happen again."

Mayuri slightly tilts his head towards the direction of the screen to get a look on Akon's face. He noticed that his subordinate held a serious expression, and that is something Akon never usually shows unless there is an event that needs immediate action.

"Euurope usually has low hollow activity, and you say a disturbance escalating fast 'again'? I take it that it has to do with hollow's activities and its people."

"Yes taichou." Akon sigh in relief as he finally caught his captain's attention over the matter at hand.

Mayuri quickly removes his latex gloves and heads over the door where Akon has been standing outside and waiting for him patiently. Upon exiting his laboratory, he looks over his subordinate. "Have you contacted the local shinigami stationed there?"

"Y-yes taichou" Akon quickly replies while handing over the folder to his captain. "And I found out that there have been sightings of a menos-like creatures gliding over the skies."

While browsing the files, Mayuri was shock to find out that Europe, specifically England, a country who had evaded their detection due to low hollow activities ever since he can remember, suddenly pops up in their radar as a place that needed immediate attention. He needs to confide this matter to the Captain Commander as soon as today. Mayuri knows that the soutaichou have a good grasps of the country because it was his previous jurisdiction and more importantly an old tale left untold to many young soul reapers.

"Things are starting to get exciting again, hehehe" Mayuri chuckles darkly. "I'll be right back, continue to monitor the situation."

see yah really soon
