After school the twins walked home.
"How much longer, onee-san?" Haruko whined.
"We get there when we get there." Inari murmured impatiently.
"How m-" Haruko was interrupted by a flying math book which hit him upside the head. Inari threw it to shut him up.
"Fine have it your way." Haruko was silent for a long time.
About two blocks into their walk Inari's legs gave out. She crumpled to the ground with a terrified gasp.
"Onee-san!" Haruko ran over to help her up off the pavement.
"I'm fine, just… a little… Oh I don't know. It feels like a pressure, but it's so strong!" Inari murmured weakly. Haruko helped to her feet.
"I feel it too; how I can stand I don't know… we might want to keep walking though." Haruko said nervously.
On the way home the pressure started again. Inari turned around.
"H-Haruko-san!" Inari yelped in fear. What stood before her had a long cape and looked dead but had a hole in its chest. Haruko slowly turned around.
"You see it too, Inari-san?" Said Haruko and Inari nodded. The creature reached for them and Inari grabbed Haruko's collar and made a mad dash for home. The creature chased them for about a block and a half before they made a sharp turn into an alley by accident. They were up against a wall and the monster seemed to be staring them down when it reached out its hand and the twins closed their eyes in fear.
The monsters hand was about two inches away from the twins when it withdrew it quickly. They opened their eyes in time to see its head tumble to the ground. The cut was clean like a sword had cut it.
The creature's head and body dissolved. A young red- headed boy stood before them. He had a sword and was dressed in a black and white kimono.
"Ichigo?!" Inari exclaimed. Sure enough, it was him. He looked up in absolute shock.
"Can you two… see me?" He said nervously.
"Of course, why not?" Haruko said.
"Ehhh… come with me." Ichigo said, unsure what to do.
A little while later they arrived at a small shop with a man with blonde hair running it. His green and white striped hat seemed to be his favorite accessory along with the fan he was holding.
"Well well well! Kurosaki-san! What brings you to my humble shop?" The man said happily waving his fan.
"Mr. Urahara, these two can see me while I'm a shinigami." Ichigo said.
"Mmmhmm… I see… They have quite the amount of spiritual pressure there." Mr. Urahara said with interest. He raised his pointer finger in the air suddenly.
"I shall train them! They will be of much aid in the fight against Sosuke Aizen and his Arrancar army!"
"Wait! Who and his army of whats?!" Inari cried.
"She has a point, please elaborate." Haruko said as he stepped forward.
About five minutes later, Urahara had finished explaining from souls and soul reapers to the Espada and Aizen.
"So where do we fall in this huge mess?" Inari questioned.
"Yeah." Haruko added.
"We shall show you." Mr. Urahara stated. He reached into his pocket and pulled out two small pills. "Take these." He said holding out his hand as the twins swallowed them. About a split second later their bodies were on the floor and their souls were standing above them.
