Recap: 'Its not like this whole incident is going to drastically change my life forever.'

And with that thought I sheathed my sword and ran after Urahara to his shop. It wasn't until later on in my life did I laugh at the irony of my thoughts.

When I got back to Urahara's shop I just let myself in and went straight to one of the back room. I found Ichigo laying on the ground passed out from blood loss and Mustache man was bandaging him up. Urahara was sitting by the boy with his usual fan out waiting for me.

" Okay I followed you now tell me what the hell is going on." He looked up at me with a smirk and motioned for me to sit.

I just glared at him until he sighed " Just sit down, it will take some time to explain."

With a final death glare I took a seat across from him. "Explain. Now." Mustache man left the room and came back in with some tea.

Urahara poured himself some and top a sip. "You must have noticed the changes in Ichigo and that a soul reaper was hanging around him."

I rolled my eyes "Duh. I can still sense retisu, and the soul reaper really wasn't paying much attention to me so I just left her alone. I didn't want to be noticed and she was plenty busy with Ichigo."

He took another sip of the tea " Well she gave him her powers in a power transfer and as you know that is taboo and not to mention illegal in the Soul Society."

I merely nodded my head as he proceeded " Well the Soul Society finally noticed and took action hence taking back her powers back from Ichigo and took her back for her punishment."

I nodded my head again as I processed the info " What will be her punishment?"

He gave me a strange look " I thought you knew all about the Soul Society and its rules?"

I gave him an annoyed look " Well excuse me for not being a expert, its not like I have ever been apart of your Gotei or anything. I just know enough for me to get by un-noticed."

My expression became serious when he started to answer " Well, from what I have heard it will be death."

I pondered " What will become of Ichigo? I'm sure he will not take her sentence so lightly."

He gave a mysterious smirk " That will be decided by him."

I was kinda weird out by that look and opted for standing up to leave. " Well thanks for the info I think its time for me to leave."

I started to leave " Wait." I stopped and turned towards him " I have a job, in which the out come will interest you."

I turned around to give him my full attention "Oh and what would interest me so much that will motivate me to join on this mess?"

He smirked once again " Who said it had to do with Ichigo?"

I gave him a look " We both know you have a soft spot for the boy now stop stalling and tell me what I get out of it."

He looked unchanged from my comment and said " I can get you back into the Soul Society."

I was struck with shock " How?" I said still with surprise on my face.

He looked at me " That is for me to know and for you to find out. You in?"

I shook my head to clear my shock and turned towards the door " Ya I'm in."

I could hear the smugness in his voice " I knew you would agree. I will contact you when I need you."

With that I took off towards my hiding spot for my gigai. My thoughts were in a running through my head.

' I can finally see him again... Oh crap he is going to be pissed when I see him again... IF he sees me...Oh who am I kidding he will find me' I thought with some fear but then I remembered ' I get to see my little Yachiru again.'

I thought happily 'I was at least excited for that part of the trip'

I found where the soul candy was hiding with my gigia. I punched the gigia and retrieved the small piece of candy from its mouth and entered my 'body' once again. When I finally got back to my apartment it was 4 in the morning.

I yawned 'okay time for bed there isn't much else I can do till Urahara summons me and I have to get up for school in the morning...CRAP I forgot the homework.' I looked around for my school bag.

I mumbled "Forget it I am sure my teachers will forgive me this once for not doing it." as I crawled back into bed chucking my shoes somewhere among my room. I happily fell into a dreamless sleep.

The next day at school was... weird to say the least. As usual the Soul Society cleaned up their mess which meant screwing with everyones minds. No one remembered the soul reaper. I wasn't surprised, but I was surprised to see Ichigo there. He looked determined which I took as good sign.

'He must have agreed to Urahara's deal which means that we are going to the soul society.' I had to smile at that thought, its been years since I have been there.

I continued on my regular schedule for a couple of days. I wasn't shocked to see Ichigo gone since he had a lot of training to do but when I noticed the red head, big muscly guy and glasses guy that was in Kurosaki's group not come in I was suspicious. On top of this all I was getting very impatient, a trait I have to thank Kenpachi for giving me. On the third day, I gave into my impulses and skipped school to go to Urahara's shop. I had opted to leave my 'body' at my apartment.

I was met by a red haired kid and a small girl " Hey, where is Urahara at?"

The kid studied me and replied " I don't know somewhere in the shop."

I gave annoyed sight "That so specific, I guess I will have to find him myself. Thanks for the help shorty"

He grew red in the face at the nickname. " Ya well see if care you old hag."

I paused in my steps toward the back door and turned towards him. " What did you call me?" I glared darkly as the kid smirked at me.

The girl was trying me make him stop and apologizing to me for his behavior. " I called you a old hag, I guess you can't hear me from old age."

I was pissed no one picks a fight with me and gets away unscratched. I started to march over to him when I felt like I was being held back I looked up to see the little girl hugging me and still apologizing. I was trying to pull away from her and started to scream at her to let me go.

" Come on let me down I wasn't going to use my sword, just maim him with my bare hands nothing that won't heal in a few months or so."

Jinata, as I heard the girl call him, stood far away from me and started to taunt me,which in turn made me pull some more. The little girl started to drag me away into the back room, to a room with a hatch.

I was pissed at the little boy and swore in my head that if I ever saw him again he was so screwed. The little girl let me go now that I was getting my calm exterior back.

She opened the hatch " Urahara is down there, he had just sent me to go get you before you came into the shop."

She said in a quiet voice I didn't really give her a second thought as I looked down in the hatch. I saw the vastness of it and noticed how far down it was. I stared to climb down and once I got half way down I jumped from the latter. I had used what little patience I had left to go that far down the latter and once I noticed I would be fine to jump down without getting hurt I let go. I noticedUrahara standing over a pit looking down with interest. I walked over and noticed Ichigo in the pit. It was a deep hole so i dubbed it "The pit of doom" I smiled at my own joke. It was then that Urahara noticed me next to him.

He just smirked "Sakishima perfect timing Ichigo is about to pass or fail the second stage."

I gave him a confused look and noticed that Ichigo had a chain and a partial mask. " You cut his chain to his body! He is going to turn into a hollow."

Urahara had that creepy smirk again. " Or he will become a soul reaper once again."

I looked down at Ichigo again. " How much time does he have?"

He thought for sec he has 15 mins left."

I squatted down " And if he becomes a hollow?"

He looked at me " Why else do you think I called you for?"

Ten minutes past and the final hollowfications were about to start.I was focussing so hard on Ichigo that I didn't notice the two kids stand beside me. I took my sword out and made to jump in the hole. A hand stopped me. I looked up to see Urahara with a calm but serious look

" Give him a little more time." I reluctantly put my sword back in the sheath.

I really wanted him to succeed not only for my sake but his little soul reaper friend. I few minutes later something started to change Ichigo and I noticed mustache man down there with Ichigo using kido. ' I must be the back up plan if he fails.'

Ichigo was screaming and becoming a hollow felt a tug on the back my dark green shinigami top and jumped back trusting the hand that was pulling me. Not a second later the pit of doom exploded with flames. I quickly got up and got my sword at the ready just in case. I huge explosion bounced around and hit the ground. This was it the moment of truth.

Was he a shinigami or a hollow? Jinata yelled at him and we saw the red eyes. My eyes hardened and I prepared to jump and attack. Urahara put a hand in front of me to wait. I gave him that ' Are you crazy?' look but as the dust cleared noticed the shinigami clothing. I still wasn't convinced we jumped when he took out the hilt of his sword. I once agin was prepared to attack with or without Urahara's blessing. But sighed in relief when he smashed the mask to reveal himself as normal. Ichigo Kurosaki had done it. He had become a shinigami.
