Hey everybody this is the next chapter. I don't own bleach, I'm open to suggestions. R&R, I also have a poll.

Current time, Karin's pov

I stood in the line waiting to sign up, people whispered nervously around me. They all looked different, some young and some old. I felt Reiatsu around some; about a fourth of them had it, others I couldn't feel anything. After learning the terms from Bachan, I tried to master it. I stayed late up at nights focusing on making it appear and disappear. I also started to dream about the flashes of pictures and the voice asking me to remember. The last night at Bachan's was the most vivid.

Recollection of Dream of Inner World

I was looking at a volcano spitting fire out, and the heat teased my skin but didn't bother me. The black rock soon led out to a black sand beach which laid out right before the red water. The sun lay just on the horizon making the ocean red, yet instead of a sunset sky, the sky appeared midday blue.

Beautiful, Isn't it? A voice said next to me, my eyes turned to the person standing next to me. He was fairly tall lean-built looking young adult with pale skin. He had spiky red hair and with cyan blue eyes. His face held a mischievous glint, and he had black wings sprouting out of his back. He wore a sleeveless shihakusho with a red obi and a black silk wrapped around his hand to his elbows, his hakama pants were ripped and he stood in a cocky manner.

"It is beautiful," I say respectfully. It should be, after I cleaned it up for you, ever since the incident the volcanic ash has been clouding the sky. Do you know how hard it is to breathe that stuff? My eyes narrowed as I looked at him, knowing fully well what 'incident' he was talking about, You know, it was a little far to promise never to cry

"How do you know this about me?" I asked stiffly, he sighed in defeat it was obvious I wasn't going to smile.

I've known you your entire life, he said. "What's your name?" I asked. If you cannot hear it, you are not ready to know.

Current time, Karin's pov

The line moved forward and I was next, I looked at the signup sheet on the clipboard. The attendant told me to fill it out and go to the next station.

Name: Kuroki Karin
Years living in Soul Society: 1
Age at Death: 15
Gender: Female
Height: 5'4
Weight: 112 lbs.

They had a height and weight check station, yet for what reasons were beyond me. I didn't know my last name, so I made one up. Kuroki felt slightly right so, I went with it. I walked to the hand in station and turned in the clipboard. I was told to wait till my name was called, and I stood near the wall, observing everyone else. There was one kid who stood out, he looked to be my age, and had a lean build, but he was dressed in much fancier clothes than everyone else, with short black hair and green eyes. A bunch of kids surrounded him, he looked down on them all and he had a smirk on his face.

I would have scoffed, but then I heard my name called, I got up and went to the clipboard hand in desk. They told me to go to the back the small bunker like room. I got into the room where three people stayed.

"Name?" One asked.

"Kuroki Karin," I said stoically, they jotted down my name, and put a bracelet on my wrist.

"This checks the amount of Reiatsu you have," Number Two said, I simply nodded, and they pressed a red button on the desk. Immediately I felt my reiatsu rising to the point where it became painful. I felt like something inside me was about to explode and it became hard to breath. My knees started shaking, and sweat poured down my forehead. I felt like I was about to pass out, then it disappeared. I stood up straighter, and did my best not to shake from the terrible experience. The three judges at the front looked at me in awe and terror.

Number One pointed at the door behind them, "You may proceed to the back," she said. I nodded and walked toward the door, they started to stack papers and I saw one of their notes. Taicho level reiyoku.

I got out the door and was told to wait again; I was starting to get tired of all this waiting. I sat down next to a sakura tree. Mr. Big Shot came out a few minutes later; I wasn't very surprised he had a decent amount of reiatsu. He looked at me and smirked, I stared at him my face remaining neutral. He frowned like I was supposed to be impressed; I rolled my eyes and looked away acting disinterested.

"It might not be the best to ignore that guy," a voice said next to me, I scarcely looked up, "Gomen, Konnichiwa my name is Itō Akane ," the red head girl said next to me.

"Kuroki Karin," I said standing up and holding out my hand, and grabbing her outstretched one. I let go and leaned against the tree gazing up at the blooming cherry blossoms.

"Souka you're not someone of many words are you," she said, "That's okay, I'm a huge talker, I'll do the talking for the both of us." I smiled genuinely; she reminded me of Isamu who wouldn't shut up. My eyes darkened, Isamu is dead.

"Who is he?" I say nodding at the arrogant boy, trying to keep my mind off the subject.

"Kuchiki Takashi," she said.

"Is that supposed to mean something?" I asked, glancing at her curiously.

"You seriously don't know?" she said turning to me, I glanced at her, "He belongs to one of the most four powerful clans in the Soul Society. I simply nod, doesn't surprise me.

Suddenly I hear a ringing voice come out, "Arai Hotaru, Chiba Daisuke, Fujii Gorou, Goto Keiko, Hamada Masaru, Ito Akane, Kuchiki Takashi, Kuroki Karin please make your way through the open doors." I got up and headed through the doors getting ready for what lay ahead.
