FH: (Walking in with a band-aid on his head)
Mia: ... Wow, what kind of doctors do we have these days? That's the best they can do?
Isaac: Welcome to America Mia, the country of morons, expect no more from good old Americans.
Zelos: (lightbulb lights up above his head) I know just how to fix this... Get over here Sheena.
FH: Oh god...

BLEACH: Shining Rune
Chapter 3:
Ichigo's answer
Ichigo slowly opened up the will of Yamamoto, already out of energy, he wanted to read the will and get on with his life. Untiing the strings that contained the final request of the deceased Commander-General. The strings collapsed from the paper and landed on the ground, not making a single sound. Still keeping his same pace, Ichigo opened the will and he eyed the will.
To whom it may concern,
By the time you read this my time as the Commander-General of the Gotei 13 has passed, and I leave a lot of questions on how to solve the situation concerning the battle of coming winter, but I assure you all, I have a reliable solution in mind.
As my first request, I feel that someone should replace me as soon as possible. I have decided that I wish to assign my position to the substitute shinigami, Kurosaki Ichigo. I feel that he will change the course of the eventual war, having defeating two of our elite captains, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Byakuya Kuchki. He is more than capable of leading our troops to and from battle.
My second request is on the concern of the stability of those who were particularly close to me, mainly Sajin Komomura, Jushiro Ukitake, and Shunsui Kyoraku. I want to thank you all for your companionship over the generations. I was fortunate to meet you all, and I can't thank you enough for what it has meant to me.
Lastly, I would like to give one last message to every soul in the Seireitei:
Open your eyes and begin to search for the five lost souls, their time has come to shine on and guide us to victory over Aizen.
Thank you for everything,
Farewell,
Commander-General of the Gotei 13, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai
Ichigo finished reading the letter, the dead weight of his eyelids dropped. He sighed with no zeal. Three men in particular were deeply in distress. Sajin had closed his eyes in sadness and he made rain with his eyes. Shunsui, who was usually laid-back and happy, was depressed, tipping his straw hat to hide the emotion on his face. Ukitake gazed at the ground as if it were a drama of the life of the dead commander. "Well, I've got my thoughts straightened out..." Ichigo lifted his eyelids and hoisted his head so he faced all of the captains, who were all waiting for an answer.
"Please tell us Kurosaki, will you become the next Commander-General, and lead us in the battle of winter?" Byakuya repeated his question, retaining his anxiety with a calm face.
Ichigo sighed once again, he knew that it was going to be a long day. A VERY long day.

The five figures now uncloaked, walked into the courtyard. At first glance they seemed like normal shinigami, going about their routines.
Not these figures.
Shinigami on guard at the West Gate approached them with an intent on booting them out of the courtyard. That all changed after the guards saw their faces.
The guards stood in complete shock after seeing the faces of the figures.
"W-Wa-Wah, YOU'RE ALIVE?! We must inform the captains this immediately!" One of the guards plotted. He received a pat on the back from the figure on the far right.
"No need for that, this will be much quicker." The figure responded, removing his hand. The reaching figure had a mild-tan skin tone and a set of sharp, but calm purple eyes. With light blonde hair, one would say that he looks like more of a desert-dwelling type of person, but why was he in the city? "Be prepared this might hurt a little, but you'll live through it."
In an instant, all of the guards of the West gate fell down in exhaustion.

"Look, I know this man meant very much to you. He has shown me that in his will." Ichigo explained, folding up the will and tying the will back in the same rope as before. Ichigo slowly stood up and looked at the assembly of captains. "...But asking me to become the Commander-General of the Soul society? That has got to be absolutely, 100 bull shit." The other captains glared at him in shock, disobeying a will? What kind of person is this guy? "I mean if you wer-" Ichigo was cut off by an insane spiritual pressure. This also caught the captains off guard. Every member in the room was crashing down onto the floor, the pressure was that great. "Wh-What the hell is with this Reiatsu?! It's insane!" Ichigo was the most affected of all of the shinigami. Ukitake raised his head barely, his pupils dilated.
"I-I don't understand... How could they have lived?!" Ukitake exclaimed. He rushed out the meeting hall, followed by the other captains, they searched for the source of the pressure.
Ichigo was the last one out of the meeting hall. Struggling, he approached Byakuya. "I'll ask you again... What is with this pressure?!"
"..I've found the source! The West gate entrance!" Toshiro leaped onto the roof-tops of the Seireitei buildings and traveled towards the west gate, the other captains followed suit.
Again, Ichigo was the last to leave his position. Just what was with that Reiatsu? How should he know, he's only been a shinigami for about half a year, how could he know who that Reiatsu belong to?
Ichigo disappeared in a flash-step and headed for the west gate.
