... and the rest is Japanese.

Alright, so in the last chapter, we have introduced Kaylee Cooper and Raven Spade. We followed them as they traveled to Karakura Town, where they live with their "Uncle" Kisuke Urahara. They had won a 3 year Transfer from their school. When they reach the airport, we find that Kisuke is an actual civilized person around our girls. ... Did I really just say "Kisuke" and "civilized" in the same sentence? OHMYGOD! ... Wow. Never thought that was possible without the word "isn't" between them.. Ok anyway, back to the recap. So Kisuke is... *choke* civilized around our girls, and Tessai is a ... *ahem* good driver... Kaylee and Raven saw their first Hallow when they chased it's spiritual pressure and chased it to see Rukia Kuchiki killing it before it attacked Ichigo Kurosaki and a ghost girl. Later, the girls finally got an explanation but only after they cornered Kisuke. He took them to the basement, where through pure will power, they used Kido (them using Kido gets explained in this chapter).

KAYLEE has been changed to CAYLEE. Same word and pronunciation, just a different first letter. It'll probably bounce back and forth, so just be aware it's the same person. Leave me a review for which one you like best to make it permanent.

Caylee - Dude, that really hurt... Why the hell did you make Kis-Kis so damned mean in that fight?

Aaden K - That was not mean. Not as mean as I've seen him be. That was actually very nice compared to what he could do.

Micey - Why do you call him 'Kis-Kis'?

Raven - That's our nickname for him. Usually we use it when we're annoyed at him.

Micey - Dare I ask if there's a name you use when you're down right pissed off at him?

Caylee - Not that I can think of for the moment. You, Rave?

Raven - Not really... Maybe we can come up with one while Aaden K and Micey's writing this chapter.

Aaden K - Oh! Speaking of this chapter, let's get on with it.

Raven - Yay! Finally! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Something kept poking Raven in the face, so she slapped at it.

"Hey! Watch it!" Jinta told her. She slapped at him again.

He grinned and laughed, getting a bucket of cold water and tossing it on her.

Raven gasped and sat up only to fall back in her bed from the pain in her gut. "Oh, if I wasn't in so much pain i would have chased you and killed you, you little runt!" Raven rolled out of her wet bed trying to get up.

"Oh, good, you're up." Ururu came by saying to her, "Caylee's in the kiction eating breakfast."

"Thanks for telling me, Ururu." Raven slowly changed her cloths and made her way to the kiction, "Hey, Caylee."

"Hey. If I ever find Kisuke i'm going to kill him." Caylee did a one-handed choking treat in the air.

Raven nodded at Caylee's promise of hurt, "How's your shoulder doing?" Raven asked as she got a bowl down for cereal, "OW, OW, OW, OW, OW, OW! Hey, Caylee...can you help me get the box down?"

"It's okay when I'm not moving that arm or area," she reached up for the box with her good arm.

When they started eating Jinta and Ururu came in to eat then Tessai came in after a minute to eat. Lastly was Kisuke.

"Good-"

"HI-YA!"

Caylee lunged at Kisuke, sending both of them into the next room. The other four continued what they were doing, ignoring Kisuke's cries for help.

"Jinta, Ururu, the front of the shop needs swept today," Tessai told them.

"Hey, why do you guys always disappear when Caylee and I show up?"

"The boss always gives us these super top secret jobs to do," Jinta said.

"We're not allowed to talk about it," Ururu said in her quite tone.

"Shut up!" Jinta gave Ururu a knukle sandwitch.

"But you said it first!" Ururu cried back at him. Tessai grabbed both and lifted them by the backs of their shirts.

After a minute of hanging he let them down. Caylee came back in with a triumphant grin and dusting her hands off while her shoulder bled.

"Um, Caylee your shoulder is bleeding," Raven told her and she looked down at it and shrugged.

Caylee sat down and Tessai was there with a first aid box cleaning Caylee's wound again. Kisuke walked in bruised and bleeding. His fan broken. His outfit; torn and ripped. His hat, amazingly, the only thing not ruined.

"You and that damned hat, I swear." Caylee fumed.

"If we rest some more we can get to school by lunch time," Raven said as Caylee looked at her, "What? I haven't missed a school day yet and I don't plan too."

"Um, Raven, we've already missed a day of school trying to recover from our wounds," Caylee said and watched as Raven's face change to horror.

"What!" Raven got up and went to her room. "Then we better get to school."

"Wha-" Raven looked at her,"Fine, I'll go, but it'll be your fault when you bleed all over school!" Caylee got up and went to change.

"At least my wounds haven't reopened up yet like yours!" Raven yelled back at Caylee.

Entering the classroom they bowed and apologized for being late.

"Just take your seats and get the notes from one of your classmates, " the teacher told us and we bowed again.

Raven clenched her stomach, "Damnit. I don't get why he had to stab me in the gut." they sat down with a small groan.

"Ha, ha. Sucks to be you." Caylee then poked Raven in the arm.

"Be glad you were several inches away from that cut."

"Oh, sorry."

666

"Where were you yesterday?" Orihime asked as we went to the lunch area.

"Oh, we had something that needed done and it took all day to do," Caylee told her.

"What was it that you had to do?" Tatsaki asked.

"Um...it was..."

Who's that over there?" Raven asked pointing toward the dark haired new student.

"Thanks for the save." Caylee whispered to Raven, who nodded.

"Oh, that's Kucki Rukia. She's the new transfer just like you guys were." Orihime ran over to Rukia and dragged her over, "Rukia, this is Cooper Caylee and Spade Raven."

They shook hands and a warning look from Rukia told them to act as if this was the first time they ever saw each other. Living with Kisuke with weird shit going on had thought them several things, and one would be knowing when to play along.

"Well, hello, Rukia." Caylee then turned to Orihime, "Do you think we can get the notes and homework that we missed yesterday?"

"Sure. I can give them to you after school." Orihime nodded and everyone started to eat their lunch or play around.

666

"Hey, Uryuu! Raven ran up to the raven haired boy.

"What is it now, Spade?" he asked sighing out.

She did a one-sided hug. "Nothing, just saying hi. That okay with you?"

All he did was sigh and continued reading.

"Oh, come one, Ichigo! You know you want to look at them." Caylee's voice rang out from the other side of the classroom.

"No, I do not! Hey! Stop!"

Raven watched as Caylee showed Ichigo pictures of big-chested girls in swimsuits and him trying to get away from them.

"Oh, fine! But I will get you one of these days," she grumbled. She walked over to Raven. "Hey, how you two doing?" Caylee put her elbow on Uryuu's head and leaned against him.

"Nothin' much. Just talking."

Uryuu pushed his glasses back as his eyebrow twitched. "Can you, please, get off of me?"

"Oh, sorry, didn't see you there." Caylee moved to stand by Raven. "So, you two going out?"

"WHAT!"His face turned red with small sweat drops and his glasses fogged up.

"Now what would give you that idea, Caylee?" Raven feigned innocence. Caylee knew Raven was silently reacting the same as Uryuu.

"Don't know. Just thought you two were. Maybe it was you telling me that you like him," Caylee grinned.

"Jerk." Raven glared at her as she went to her seat. "Well, see you tomorrow then.." Raven waved to Uryuu and took her seat.

"Aw come on. Why don't you just ask him out?" Caylee asked.

"Because I don't want to."

"Liar."

"It's true."

"Denial."

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Cooper! Spade! Stop talking!"

"Sorry," the girls said in unison.

"Epic fail," Caylee whispered to her friend.

"Shut up."

"Would you two shut up?" Ichigo harshly whispered.

"Sorry," they whispered back.

"Alright, you two!" the teacher yelled.

"Sorry!" This put the class into giggles.

Kaylee wrote a note with the word "Disclaimer" and gave it to Raven.

Her eye twitched. "I'm not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are too."

"Are not."

"Are not," Caylee said, quickly changing her tactics.

"Are too." Silence. "Damnit, Caylee!" Raven yelled out and everyone turned to look at her.

Ichigo turned, fuming. "Goddamnit, shut up!"

"No!" Caylee flipped open her picture book and shoved it in his face.

"Spade! Cooper! Kurosaki! Out in the hall!" the teacher exclaimed as she threw a piece of chalk at each of their heads.

They muttered "Sorry" going by the teacher, hearing giggles from the class. Caylee stood in the middle with Ichigo on her right and Raven on her left. She pulls out a pocket sized picture book (the same one as the one in the classroom a few seconds ago) and starts flipping through it. Raven glanced over and snickers. Ichigo looks only at the cover title. Strawberry's Pictures. He gets curious and leans over to see.

He draws back angrily and points an accusing finger at the two. "What the hell's wrong with you?"

Kaylee blinked innocently at him. She was about to answer him, but Uryuu came out. "You can come back in now," was all he said before he retreated quickly.

"Ask him," Kaylee pushed Raven softly towards the boy with the dark hair and glasses.

"I will not," she sternly replied.

"Fine. I will." Caylee advanced him from behind, raised a hand to poke his shoulder, but then Raven grabbed the back of her shirt and yanked her back.

"No." Raven allowed Caylee to regain her footing, but still held on firm. "I'll ask, but not now."

"FINALLY!" Caylee whirled around to face Raven. "But if you don't, I'll tell him. Face to face. Got it?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

666

Jinta and Ururu were sweeping the front when the girls came home.

"Let us guess, Uncle Kisuke's not home yet?" Raven asked.

"No, but he'll be back in a couple of hours." Ururu softly told them.

"Alright. Well I'm going to finish my homework." she walked away only to run into Tessai, "Oh, sorry, Uncle Tessai."

"Nothing to worry about, Raven. Kisuke wants the two of you in the basement after dinner." he said then left.

LATER THAT NIGHT

"Uncle Kisuke! We're here!" Caylee yelled out.

They were suddenly hit in the head. Turning around to scream at Kisuke they stopped and found their bodies face down on the ground.

"What the hell did you do to us!" Kaylee was then raging up a storm while Raven calmly looked at herself and noticed the chains connecting them.

After ten seconds of raging Kaylee was on her hands and knees trying to breath, "Why..isit...hard...to..breath?" she asked barely above a whisper.

Raven was also having trouble breathing but held up the chain for Kisuke to see, "What's...this?"

"It's called the Chain of Fate."

"SHIIiiiit..." Kaylee started yelling but it turned into a breathless whisper.

"I wouldn't do that if i were you," Kisuke sang at the redhead.

"Shut up. I don't wanna hear it from you!" Kaylee moaned and fell backwards. She sighed in relief when her head just barely missed a boulder.

"You ok?" Raven asked. she was doubled over looking down at her and panting slightly.

"I am now. I fell great." suddenly, Kaylee did that action movie move where she swung her legs and like jumped off the ground so she was standing again, "What gives?" asking Kisuke.

"Already used to breathing? Well, well. You two are stronger than I thought. Tessai, let's begin."

"Yes, sir!"

Tessai handed the girls a mounds of padded white things.

"Uh..."

"Put them on. It's protection gear."

"Why do I suddenly have the feeling that we're insanely going to need them?" Kaylee whispered to Raven.

"I know, me too. I don't think-AHH!" Raven was interrupted by Ururu swinging at her. She jumped out of the way just in time, "Didn't we have this done to us before with Kisuke?"

"Yes we did. WHOA!" Kaylee jumped back too. She landed on top of a boulder and watched Raven run from Ururu.

Raven vaguely wondered if she would die tonight as she ran. Her breathing was ragged and only pure and utter terror kept her limbs moving. She knew from experience that the dark haired girl behind her was a helva lot stronger than she looked. She put the padding on while she ran.

"You can't run forever, Raven. You're going to have to do something about her!" Kisuke called to the tricolor haired girl as she ran past.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING? KNITTING A SWEATER?" Raven screamed at him in rage.

"Ooo! I want one to match my hat, please."

Raven yelled-groaned-exasperated at him.

Kaylee ran over to Kisuke, "Dude, what the hell?"

"You'll see. Ururu, you've got Kaylee too!"

Kaylee blinked and suddenly had Ururu in her face. Now, Ururu chased Kaylee.

Kaylee ran towards Raven. When she reached her, she grabbed Raven's shirt and dragged her along.

"Ok, have you figured out the point of this? Cause I know there is one, but I just can't think right now." Kaylee said.

"Actually, I think I have. How's your breathing?"

Kaylee raised an eyebrow before replying with, "Good, now that you mention it. I don't really feel out of breath anymore."

"I knew it. Speed and endurance!" Raven said as she dodged Ururu's left hook, "Put that stuff on. You might need it."

"Fine, but we have to double back."

Caylee and Raven jumped to the opposite sides of Ururu, then away from her, turning to run in the opposite direction. As they ran past, Caylee grabbed the head pieces and Raven grabbed the gloves. They quickly put them on.

"Alright, now watch this," Raven told Caylee.

"You know, usually it's the other way around."

Raven chuckled. It was true; Caylee was usually the one saying "Watch me do something stupid and could possibly kill me", but Raven did have her moments.

Caylee ducked behind a rock and sat down, watching.

Raven stood in a fighting stance, fists held up. Now, Raven's never been one for violence or fighting, but if she was right, she wouldn't even have to land a direct hit. She waited for Ururu and the small girl didn't disappoint. Ururu charged at Raven full speed.

Ready... ready... NOW! Raven swung her head to the side, missing Ururu's fist, and started swinging her own punches. She aimed for Ururu's head and never actually connected with anything, but she felt her knuckle graze Ururu's cheek. She was about to swing again, when Caylee jumped between them. She dodged Ururu's first to fifth attacks before striking with her own. She punched, high kicked, and did some other moves. Like Raven, she never landed a solid blow, but her heel scraped Ururu's forehead as the smaller girl ducked.

Ururu's eyes suddenly became glazed when a drop of blood drop into her eye. She started pulling some heavy duty swings and almost pounded Caylee and Raven into the ground. Kisuke appeared, holding Ururu back with his cane.

"You two did good. That was great, Ururu."

"Thank you, sir. I try," the girl said, suddenly her shy and timid self again.

"And you were right, Raven. This test was about speed and endurance. I'm proud you figured that out."

"Why else would you have us being chased?" Raven scoffed, but grinned in obvious pride.

"Good job, Ray." Caylee clapped her friend on the back. Raven's grin widened.

"You see, the first test was about getting your spirit energy back. Once you were connected to the Chain of Fate, you were like every other soul. You had no powers at all."

"Wait, you said 'back'; doesn't that mean that as humans, we lost our powers for a time?" Raven asked.

"You lost them when you gained the Chain."

"Oh."

"So we got them back, with the added bonus or regaining the ability to breathe normally and regaining speed," Caylee threw in.

"Exactly," Kisuke said, flipping his fan open, "Now for the second test. This will be particularly painful for us four to watch-"

"Speak for yourselves," Jinta said, surprising Caylee and Raven with his sudden appearance.

"-because of our connection with you two, but it must be done."

Raven and Caylee gave each other a sideways glance. Raven asked, "What must be done?"

As his answer, Kisuke snapped his fan closed. Suddenly, there was Tessai standing only a few feet away with a hammer the size of Ururu. He swung it and down onto the girls' Chains and the peices under the hammer shattered.

"You now have only limited time. You must come out of the holes as Soul Reapers or turn into Hallows."

The seriousness in Kisuke's voice made the girls listen intently.

"Wait..." Caylee looked around. "What holes?"

"Those holes."

Once again, Tessai suddenly appeared, this time behind Caylee and Raven. He shoved them apart and when they stopped, the ground below them crumbled.

"OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

666

Raven woke up some time later. Her arms had been bound behind her back and she had been faced down - which explained why she tasted dirt.

"This sucks.." she muttered. It took her a few minutes, but she managed to get up.

"Hey!" she yelled.

"Mr. Kisuke, the one's awake," she heard Jinta call.

"My name is Raven, you midget of a jerk!"

Jinta laughed.

"Ahoy, down there! Are you alright?" Kisuke called down slowly, as if talking to a 4 year old.

"Define 'alright'," Raven called back.

"You're ok, then." Kisuke disappeared from the top of Raven's hole. She heard him calling to someone else.

"KISUKE! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, YOU ARE DEAD! DO YOU HEAR ME? D-E-A-D! DEAD! DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!"

"Caylee's awake," Raven mused out loud. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Kaylee sat crossed legged at the bottom of her hole, fuming rather loudly.

"That damned Kisuke.."

A rattling noise made her look around. She gasped when she saw the chain links grow mouths and started chewing through the others.

Caylle cocked an eyebrow at the sight. "What the.,..?"

Her head jerked up when she heard Raven scream.

"The hell?"

All of a sudden, Caylee was in pain. Intense pain that completely filled and took over her body. She hurt so bad she couldn't even make a single sound. Caylee fell backwards, her red hair fanning out around her, trying to will the pain to go away.

What felt like hours passed and the pain finally stopped. The Chain stopped, two. Caylee panted. She dripped with sweat, even though now it felt as if it had never happened.

Raven had no idea how long she had been down in that hole. It felt like days or even weeks, and could have been only hours. She had gone through 3 of those pain filled moments so far.

"Oh and I forgot to mention at the first encroachment; you only have 72 hours from the begining. You're down to 57 hours."

"WHAT?" she screamed.

"How are you holding up?" Kisuke asked.

"Go the hell away!" Raven yelled at him. "Why are you putting us through this, Kisuke?"

"You'll find out soon enough." That was all he said, which irritated her to no end.

"HEY BASTARD! WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THESE CHAINS?" Kaylee yelled at him.

"Like I said, you have a limit before you have to choose to either become a Hollow or a Soul Reaper," Kisuke replied. "By the way, the last few chains are going to be the hardest to deal with."

Both girls looked at their Chains and counted, ending up at 5 links left.

They were about to say something when their chains went into chaos. Four chains left, then two, one, and finally none. The base fell away until there was just a hole in their chests and seconds later this white liquid bursts around their faces.

Kisuke stood watching and hearing their pain-filled screams run through him. He had been correct about this being hard for the four to watch, but it was going to end soon.

Excruciating pain radiated and filled the girls. Just when they thought they would surely die from it, it ended.

"Raven," a voice called, "Raven, can you hear me?"

"What?"

Raven opened her eyes and gasped. She was laying down on something incredibly hard, looking up at some kind of tree.

"Can you hear me, Raven?"

Raven sat up and shook her head, making her multicolored hair hang in her face.

"Raven."

The girl finally looked up. In front of her, the thing she was sitting on ended in a point. Beyond that it was just a vast empty space of various colors.

"Whoa.." she breathed. Raven looked to her right. Giant spike coming out of what could have been a wall widened her eyes. Some spikes ended abruptly short, while other went on for meters.

"Raven."

Raven twisted around so fast, she fell onto her stomach.

"Finally. I was getting impatient."

"W-who are y-you?"

It was a female; Raven could tell at least that much. Her hair seemed like smoke, not laying down like normal hair, but kind of floating over her shoulders. Her body had no shape; she had what should have been shoulders, then the rest coiled downward like backwards smoke. Both her hair and her 'body' were black.

She smiled. "So you can hear me. My name is..."

"I'm sorry. What?"

The smoke woman sighed in disappointment. "But you still can't hear my name. That's too bad."

Raven started to reply, but a suddengust of wind shut her up. She coughed and sputtered.

She was suffocating.

Caylee's eyes flew open. She looked around.

"Holy sh-"

"I would prefer you not to use profanities here, Caylee."

Caylee's gaze shifted to a figure floating in front of her. She wore a silver kimono with a black obi. The edge of the kimono - the part that wraps around the neck like a collar and goes all the way to the end of the kimono - was white. She had fiery redish orange hair pulled back in a very long ponytail. Caylee gasped when she realized the hair moved like actual fire. Her eyes were a solid brown.

"Are you going to sit there and gape? You should know that you really don't have time to fool around," the kimono woman said. "If you think I'm scary, you should try looking down."

So Caylee did. And she screeched in shock.

"Oh that's right. You're not very fond of heights, are you? How could I have forgotten?"

Caylee stood frozen like a high schooler who just found out they were floating (on seemingly solid sky) over 45 miles above a city. "Forgotten?" she was surprised her voice came out as even as it did. "What do you mean forgotten?"

"Oh, never mind. I don't want to explain yet. Anyway, you're running out of time."

"Wha-?"

Caylee's question turned into a scream when she began fallilng.

The city below her disappeared away before she hit it - she silently thanked whatever gods were in control of that one - and she fell into a river as hot as fire and as red as fresh blood.

666

"Whoa. What's going on down there?" Jinta asked no one in particular.

"Those girls sure are odd," Urahara said.

"What do you mean?"

"The Hollow mask is being formed before their bodies."

Suddenly, Jinta and Ururu were tackled behind a large builder as a blinding light and powerful spirit energies blasted from the holes.

With a loud boom, they landed meters away from Urahara Kisuke.

Dust and dirt and rock flew everywhere, then the energies pulsed, driving it all away.

"So how are you feeling...

"Caylee?

"Raven?"
