I flash stepped across the houses in my gigai as I searched for Rukia. I cursed when I, again, couldn't pinpoint her location. Finally, I found her walking to the high school with a uniform the same as mine on. I hopped off the building and kept pace with her.

"Hey, sis," I called, effectively startling her.

"We're not sisters…," Rukia stated the obvious with a confused voice.

I rolled my eyes. "No, really?" I asked in a sarcastic voice as I swung my arm over her shoulders. "But we are now, since we'll both be going to the same school."

Rukia gave me a long, hard look. "You aren't going to tell Soul Society?"

"Already have, Rukia." I sighed heavily at her worried expression. "I told my Caption and he promised not to bring it up with anyone yet because we're still gathering information."

"You told Caption Zaraki?"

Oh, shit, I thought, but shrugged. "No, he's only my frontal caption and, therefore, has no technical control over me. I told the caption of Squad Fourteen."

"There is no Squad Fourteen," she told me with a frown.

"Yes there is," I told her as I skipped a head. "But only a few captions know about us because we're all hush-hush, top secret."

"Why tell me?"

I smiled back at her. "I needed to tell you so that you would know why I didn't call home like a tattle-tail."

Rukia nodded. "Who is your caption?"

I grinned wolfishly at her. "Really wanna know?" She nodded. "Fourth Seat Sora Tsugi is our caption, and I, our lieutenant!"

Rukia stopped dead in her tracks. "Your caption is a fourth seat?"

I glared at her and crossed my arms. "Yes," I said in a tight voice. "Is that so hard to believe? Especially with Squad Eleven when both our third and fifth seats are at least of lieutenant level?"

Rukia shook her head. "No, I guess not."

"Good." I grinned at her. "'Cause we have work to do!"

I cackled manically as I ran forward towards the school. Urahara had done some mind-meddling earlier, making it possible for us to enroll in Ichigo's class. We both walked up the stairs and to his class room where his teacher met us outside the door. We introduced ourselves to the class as half-sisters, then took two of the three open seats, the third one being Ichigo's. Once our morning classes were over, two boys, one with slightly curly brown hair and a wild look in his brown eyes and the other with black hair and eyes, walked up to us. They introduced themselves as Keigo being the crazy one and Mizuiro the other.

Rukia and I both smiled at them. "It's very nice to meet you boys," Rukia said in a sweet voice that belied her true nature.

As we talked with the two boys, a tall, Hispanic guy with dark, curly brown hair walked up to us. Mizuiro looked up at him with a smile and said, "Oh, hi, Chad."

Rukia and I smiled at Chad, who just nodded at us. We talked for a little longer, then Keigo stared at Rukia and I. After a while, I turned to him and said in a sweet voice, "Is something wrong, Keigo?"

"Are you sure you girls are sisters?" he asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Rukia blanched slightly, so I knew I had to handle it. I blushed a little, closed my eyes, and tilted my head to the side. "Of course I am! Well, we're only half-sisters, but that doesn't matter to us!"

Mizuiro frowned a little. "You guys don't look that alike, Kamilyn, and you both have different last names."

I laughed. "Well, sure we do. We have the same mother, but different fathers; that's why we look so different and have different last names!"

Just then, Ichigo Kurosaki walked in the building. Rukia and I looked at each other, then excused ourselves to get our lunches. We quickly ate as we watched Kurosaki interact with his classmates. I nudged Rukia and told her to go introduce herself. She nodded and grabbed a pen. She wrote something on her hand as she walked up to Ichigo. I had to stifle my laughter at Ichigo's reaction to her. Rukia asked to talk to him privately and they left.

During the next few months, nothing real interesting happened. I would tag along unnoticed with Rukia and Ichigo and watch as he slowly grew as a Soul Reaper. A good part about being part of Squad Fourteen was that I was a different type of Soul Reaper, and, therefore, my spiritual pressure felt different from regular Soul Reapers, so the Quincy in our class had no idea I was a Soul Reaper. I'm sure both he and Ichigo had suspicions that I was, since I was posing as Rukia's half-sister, but neither could prove it. Then, on the day Ishida (the Quincy) challenged Ichigo to a duel fighting hollows and the Menos Grande showed up and Ichigo defeated it by himself, I knew that Soul Society would be making an appearance soon. The next night, I got a call from Sora.

Before I could even say a greeting, he said in a flash, "Caption Byakuya Kuchiki and his lieutenant, Renji Abari, will be showing up tonight to retrieve Rukia."

"And hello to you too, Sora," I said sarcastically as I stood in mid-air above a park, watching Rukia run away from her life with Ichigo. "And I know they will be; I can sense them approaching the park I'm in."

"Damn," Sora said vehemently. "Don't let them see you."

I laughed. "Yeah, like I'd approach Mr. Silent-I-Will-Kill-You-With-One-Look and say, oh, by the way, I knew where Rukia was this whole time and didn't tell anyone," I said sarcastically.

Sora laughed. "Okay, Miss Smart-Ass. Oh, I want you to come here when the human boy does."

I frowned as I watched Byakuya and Renji flash step over. "How do you know he'll come after her?"

"Remble's Zanpaku-to let him reveal more of the vision," Sora said and I envisioned him leaning back in his office chair. "He said that Kurosaki, three other humans, and an ex-caption in a strange form will come to rescue Kuchiki. It also said that one other Soul Reaper might come, but her figure was always hazy, so it wasn't a sure-thing."

"That would make sense, seeing's how there's Quincy, and two humans in his class have developed spiritual powers. Sora," I added as I sensed Ishida show up, then watched him shoot an arrow at Abari. "That said Quincy just showed up and I sense Kurosaki on his way."

Sora whistled. "Who's kicking his ass?"

"Yeah, like Byakuya would lower himself to that level. Renji is," I stated as the stated Soul Reaper cut Ishida down. "Oh, when did he become a lieutenant?"

"Like, the day you left."

"Really?" I said with a mock pout on my lips. "Damn. I missed a good party 'cause he's good friends with Rangiku Matsumodo."

I gave Sora a play-by-play of what happened that ended up with Ichigo laying, dieing in the rain and the Caption and Lieutenant leaving with Rukia. I signed off with Sora, then hopped down to Ishida. I got there at the same time Kiskuke did. Kiskuke treated him with kido (something Squad Fourteen members couldn't, for some reason, do). Ishida stood up and said something about Ichigo being the only one to be able to defeat the two.

Turning to me, the Quincy stated, "I knew it."

"Knew what?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"That you were a Soul Reaper, even though I couldn't sense you." Ishida's glasses glinted as he pushed them up his nose with his middle finger.

I smirked. "Oo," I said in a taunting voice. "The great, all-sensing Quincy couldn't find a simple Soul Reaper. I bet that makes you feel awesome."

Kiskuke laughed, so I whirled on him. "Why are you here and not treating Kurosaki, Kiskuke?" I snarled. "Sora needs him."

Kiskuke smirked and opened his fan. Waving it, he said, "He'll live."

I glanced over at the orange haired Soul Reaper. With a raised eyebrow, I turned back to Kiskuke and said, "He's passed out, in the rain, with a growing puddle of blood surrounding him."

Kiskuke rolled his eyes, but left to go help the boy. To Ishida, I said, "So, you'll be helping us to retrieve Miss Kuchiki?"

"Who said I would?" Ishida said indignantly and turned around to walk away.

I rolled my eyes at his retreating back. "Okay, then! We'll talk when you show up!"

I walked over to Kiskuke, who was having Tessai pick up the dieing boy. "You'll get his powers back, right?" I asked in a quiet voice.

Kiskuke nodded. "Why does your Caption need him?"

"Our new Psychic Omega had a vision concerning him," I said truthfully as we started towards Urahara Shoten. "His Zanpaku-to doesn't trust us completely, seeing's how he's so new, so we're not sure if Ichigo's part has been played completely."

"Completely?" Kiskuke looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "You mean he's already played a part?"

"Mhm," I said with a nod. "His part was to meet Rukia Kuchiki."

Kiskuke also nodded and opened his mouth to say something, but stopped when my Soul Pager rang. I answered it and Sora's voice came through. "Rukia Kuchiki has arrived," he said without bothering to say hello.

I raised my eyebrows. "Not one for introductions, are we, Boss?" I said sarcastically. "Anyway, what have they done with her?"

"Put her in the Squad Six prison for now."

I nodded even though I knew Sora couldn't see me. "Okay. What do you want me to do until the boy and his friends come?" I asked as we walked into Urahara Shoten.

"I want you to watch him regain his powers, Kami," Sora said in a quiet voice.

"There was a new part added to the vision?" I deadpanned the question as a statement.

"Yeah." Sora sighed and I envisioned him rubbing his temples. "Tell me what happens once he gets his powers back. Just, don't let him see you until the day you guys leave. Oh, by the way, when will that be?"

"I don't know. Let me ask." I pulled the phone away from my mouth and called out to Kiskuke, "Hey, when will they be able to go to Soul Society?"

Kiskuke got a thoughtful look on his face as he got to work treating Ichigo. "Give them thirteen days; ten to train, seven to open a pathway."

I nodded and relayed the message to Sora. "So, I'll see ya when we get in. Knowing the boy, you'll definitely be able to tell when we arrive."

Sora chuckled. "Okay, then. See you in a couple weeks, Kami," Sora signed off.

*Author's Note: And so the Soul Society Arc starts! Kind of! xD As you can see, I glazed over Ichigo and Uuryu's fight with Squad Six's Caption and Lieutenant, but I find most of the beginning of the series (like, until Ichigo's fight with Ikkaku) very boring, so don't expect me to go into detail during that time. This part didn't have very many changes from the original story line, but Kami was a shadow most of the time. Expect more changes in the future.
