Hello again, my dear readers! I would to say thank you for sticking around this long. Also thanks Domagonic for helping me out with my mistakes there! Also, thank you reader101 for your kind review! I really appreciate it, and hopefully this chapter will be the length you are looking for. Also this chapter will bring up some lore that I created just for this fic! Let's see what my psychotic mind has dreamed up.
- Disclaimer: If I did own bleach, I'd give Ichigo's Companions (Chad, Orihime, and Uryu) their moment in the sun, and have ichigo get his Fullbring and Hollowfication back -

Urahara had Tessei make them some tea.

He hoped that it would help calm Ichigo's nerves, because what he was about to tell him wouldn't help that…

"Well?" Ichigo frowned and waited for Urahara to speak.

"Well first off Izanagi are just one of many names for their kind." Urahara sipped his tea slowly. The least powerful of them would be known as Djinn, Elementals, Demons, and other names. Those are what humans called them of course."

Ichigo didn't like the fact that Urahara said least powerful.

"The most powerful could be considered closer to gods."

Ichigo spat out his tea in shock.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better those were almost certainly destroyed a thousand years ago."

Ichigo frowned, irritated at urahara for freaking him out like that.

"What happened to them?" Ichigo asked though he had a good feeling he knew the answer.

"The original Gotei thirteen destroyed them of course! Though it was at the cost of most of their members…

"Ichigo."

"What?"

"Whatever you do, do not fight them one on one, if you can sneak up on them, and kill them before they kill you"

Ichigo was speechless. All of that seemed cowardly, and unfair…

Was he really supposed to kill someone, because of what they were?

"I know what you're thinking Ichigo, and I need you understand something."

"Not all of them were so bad, but they hate Shinigami, and I don't think they care if you're a subsitute, or not."

"What about the one who said that you owed him?"Ichigo inquired.

"Well, let's just say that he isn't one for judging people, but…"

"But, what?"

"Well, did he hit on you?"

"What! No!"

Urahara smiled, thinking to himself how that man was still alive, and how he had met him a few hundred years ago…

.
.

"Well, what's a handsome man like you doing in this prison?"

Urahara looked up and saw an average looking man chained in a cell.

Urahara sighed. He had been forced to deal with guy for month's and was at his wits end

"What do you want?"

"I heard you were getting promoted! Congratulations, to your meaningless title!"

"What do you mean? And how do you know about that!"

"I see the inner self of every being." The man said to him. "And the memories, and thoughts they hoard within them."

"Really?"

The man laughed, and smirked. "No, I'm just fucking with you! I heard the other guards talking about it. Did you see the look on your face! You looked like you were about to shit your pants!"

"Very funny."

The man stood up…

… which shouldn't have been possible do to the fact that the Sekiseki chains, were strong enough to bring captain level people to their knees.

Kisuke drew his hands up to use kido, but suddenly black, amorphous tendrils tied him to the ground.

The man walked up to him, and crouched in front of him.

"Say young man, are you someone who keeps his word?"

Kisuke looked up, and stared at the man. "Well, are you, or aren't you? Cause, I could just kill you, and find someone else…

"Yes." He said it without a thought.

"Well can you honor a dead man's final wish?"

Kisuke noticed he no longer looked jovial, and now looked very serious.

"Can you deliver this letter for me?"

The man suddenly produced a letter out of nowhere.

"Where to?"

"The directions are on the letter."

The man stood up, and started to walk away. "I bet you are curious as to what's in the letter. I won't tell ya you can't read it. I only ask that you don't divulge the contents to anyone. Because I promise, I will kill you If you do."

"We agreed?"

Kisuke nodded in response.

"Good! Now If I only I could be on my merry little way…

"Wait!"

The man sighed. "What do you want now? It won't be long till the rats get here on mass, and I don't want to get their blood on my-

"Who are you? "

The man just looked at him, with a confused expression on his face. "The old man didn't tell any of you?"

"No."

" Hmm. I guess the big dog thinks that the pups don't need to know about the past."

Kisuke then blinked and just like that he was gone.
.

.

.

"Mr. Hat and Clogs!"

Kisuke shot back to attention.

"Oh yes Ichigo! You should probably get to school, and warn everybody".

Ichigo sighed, hoping that Orihime wouldn't ask about the details in the dream.

He then decided that he just wouldn't tell her about that part, just for the sake of keeping her innocence.

Ichigo then walked out of the shop, and left for school.

Toshiro was in the middle of a nap, when Rangiku woke him up.

It isn't a pleasant thing to wake with you your co-workers boobs in your face.

"Matsumoto! Your suffocating me! Let me go!"

"Oh captain! You really are perverted!" Rangiku seemed to have had fallen asleep on Toshiro…

… and also appeared to be drunk off her ass.

"Damnit! How did you find the Saki!"

"I just looked!" Rangiku exclaimed, slurring her words all other the place.

"I didn't think you were active enough to actually look." Toshiro said sarcastically.

Toshiro then looked around, and his mouth opened in horror.

There was dirty graffiti all the place, and at least a foot of garbage strewed across the floor.

And some very naked men.

How… Wha…The hell! "Matsumoto what happened!"

"Oh, we had a party to celebrate your successful mission to the world of the living!"

'Why didn't you ask for my permission first!"

"Because you were asleep!" And you what they say about children-

"If you finish that thought you're out of the squad!" Toshiro said defensively.

Though that did raise an interesting question…

"How long was I asleep?"

"Oh about a day.

Toshiro gaped in shock

'A entire day!" He mouthed to himself in disbelief, hoping that he wouldn't have to go the medical barracks due to possible brain damage.

Why didn't you wake-

Before he could yell at her some more an explosion rocked his senses.

What the hell was that?

Rangiku stood up straight, and flash stepped out of there with her captain in close pursuit
.

Toshiro saw a large crowd of Shingami surrounding the source of the explosion.

He had made it there almost immediately, the training he did recently must have really paid off.

"Out of my way! I'm a captain! What happened did the Shiba's cause a-

Oh no.

Toshiro thought to himself that he would never forget what he seen.

There were hundreds of severed heads on sticks made of Reishi. Toshiro didn't need to check who they were from.

For they had on the shawl of the Kido Corps.

He then saw that where the Senkeimon was there was but scorch marks and dust. Toshiro knew what this meant.

They couldn't go to the world of the living.

And from the explosions he heard in the distance that wasn't the only one being destroyed.

Wow that took a lot longer than it should have had! Sorry bout that. I was focusing on my Christmas gifts! I'm still a kid at heart ya know! Anyway the next one will take place in the high school, and right after the destruction of the Sekeimon! But it may take a while for two reasons. First, Microsoft is screwing me over with having to get a subscription, and two… Okay let me be straight Orihime will be the main POV in the next chapter, And I'm really nervous on how to write her! She is my favorite character, and no its not because of her you know what's, It's because of how relatable she is to me! Not with the beauty of course, but with her personality, and problems of kind of describe me in a nutshell. Having unrequited Crushes, her insercurities about her weakness, being unable to hurt other people, and her unrelenting kindness describes me to a tea! I, have felt all of those at one point, so I feel for her even though she doesn't exist! So, I want to get her right if you know what I mean, so if any you have any tips on how to write her please respond. And finally review! I want to know how you like the story so far! Thank you-Aj
