Ichigo and his father exited the portal from the Urahara store.
"Hey old man,..."
"Yeah, what is it?"
"... where exactly are we?"
"Well you know this was done in secret right?"
"Ye-e-eah-h, what of it."
"Well, you see, it's like this, we..."
Ichigo grumbled "Spit it out already. Jeez, I just die and now my old man doesn't know where he's going."
"That's not it at all, you see we had to make the gate in part of the realm that Seireitei doesn't know about..."
"Why don't I like the sounds of this?"
"Will you just let me finish already? Yes. Good. Now as to why you don't realise where you are. It is as I said we needed to make the gate somewhere Seireitei didn't know about, so we made it overseas from Seireitei"
Ichigo's jaw dropped.
Isshin said in a flat voice "Uh, Ichigo" and started waving his left hand in front of Ichigo's face. Ichigo shakes his head to come out of the stupor that his father had caused.
"O-o-kay then, so how do I get to seireitei then if were on the other side of the realm?"
Isshin scratched the side of his head and said "Son I'm sure you'll find a way, now then, if that's all then I'll be off. Bye" and walked off back into the cave
It took a while for what his father had said to sink in but when Ichigo realised his dad said he didn't know where
to go he said "That damn fool. They say: Let's send him to soul society; Great idea only problem is all the gates
are shut down. Then the bastards get the bright idea to use an abandoned gate on the other side of the entire realm;
There's another problem with that though isn't there; The person who took me here doesn't know how to get to soul
society. So here I am alone looking for some way to get to god damned soul society with no idea where to start looking..."
In the middle of Ichigo's ramblings he hears something behind him, turns around just in time to se a garganta closing.
Ichigo reaches for his sword, when suddenly he saw Nell dressed in her normal arrancar uniform.
"...Hey babe, do you want to go..." suddenly Ichigo realises what he is saying and stops looks up to see Nell looking crimson, and says "oh, my god, sorry, I don't know what just happened."
Nell says "No, no it's all right honey, as a matter of fact I'd like to get on my kne..." She suddenly stops, puts her hands over her mouth and says "Oh my god, Uh we better get out of here... Right now."
"Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Can you open a garganta from here?"
"Sure thing where do you want to go?"
"I think we should probably go to soul socity via Hueco Mundo; I have something there that I think i might need. Besides we don't know what will happen if you try to use a garganta from here directly to soul society"
"Okay, you might need your mask to transverse this garganta though."
"Why? When we went to Hueco Mundo before I didn't need it."
"Yeah, but Urahara had set that garganta up for shinigami and human usage. This one won't be and I don't know if a regular shinigami could handle the pressure of a true garganta."
"Okay then here goes."
Ichigo raises his left hand to the top of his face and draws forth his mask; Then Neliel reached a hand into the air and opened up the garganta that they would use to traverse to Hueco Mundo. Nell and Ichigo enter into the garganta and almost instantly appeared in Nell's quarters. Ichigo doesn't release the hollow transformation claiming that it takes a lot of energy to draw out and release the transformation.
Nell asked Ichigo "So what was it that you need?"
Ichigo replied "You know that package I left here last time I came to visit?"
"Yes what of it?"
"You wouldn't know where it is right now would you?"
"Yes"
"Could you please get it for me."
"Sure thing" Nell then walks over to a painting of Karakura Town, takes it off the wall, to reveal a keypad. Nell enters the code and then a trap door opens where Ichigo is standing. Ichigo falls down the hole that opened up under him; When Ichigo could get back up he said to Neliel who had had time to get down to him and was bent over peering into his face from about two inches away. "Just like old times, huh Nell."
"Oh, uh, sorry about that; anyway let's see about getting that package." Nell start moving away from Ichigo and starts to say "Now if I remember correctly it should be over here." Then everything went black.
