*My cousin named Joshiro Ukitake Jo-Jo.

**This is the Amused anime Face. ^w^

I walked cautiously into the room, my eyes wandering every aspect of the space. Several pairs of eyes met mine. Those people averted their eyes. A blush came across my pale cheeks. I moved past them, holding my head up high, and took my place next to Joshiro Ukitake. He smiled down at me, his eyes filled with delight. "Long time no see, Mary." I smiled up at him. "Hi, Jo-Jo." He chuckled at the adapted nickname.*"

Captain Yammamoto sat in his seat, his eyes searching the entire room. He leaned back in his chair, folding his hands in his lap. He met my eyes and spoke softly, "Anything to report? Before I hand out missions? "Everyone was silent. The captain sighed and said, "Alright. We are going to have to send two captains to investigate packs of hollows in the world of the living. Would any like to volunteer?"

Toshiro Hitsugaya stepped forward. "I'll go." I yawned and flexed my fingers so a small pool of light came into the room. "I'll go." I said raising my hand. Everyone stared. I rolled my eyes and stepped forward. "Alright. You may leave at once." He waved his hand and I stalked out of the room happily.

Later, after I had gotten my plans for a gigai, I stood in front of the gates to leave. Toshiro stood there, looking bored. "Shiro." I sang, walking up to him. He nodded at me and closed his eyes. "You're taller than before." I used to look down at him. Now I look up.

"Growth spurt." Was his response. "Did Hannah Montana help?" I asked, holding back a laugh. His eyes jarred open and he glared down at me. "Tell anyone, and I swear—"I waved my hand cutting him off. "No worries." I winked at him and walked back towards the gates. Soul reapers ran around, trying to get the gates open.

I yawned and simply walked up to it and pressed my hand against it. I laughed as it opened slowly. "Yo, Shiro." I called to him. He opened an eye and looked at me. "What?" he asked with a glare. I placed my hands on my hips and replied in an angry tone, "Are you coming or not?"

He stood up and simply walked ahead of him. I walked behind him waving at the soul reapers. "Byyyeee!" I sang and then started to run through the tunnel. Once we entered the World of the Living, I felt free. I charged through the air, spinning around, and landing on an invisible platform.

"Mary, stop." Toshiro said, glaring at me. "No! It's been ages!" I jumped up in the air, and fell down, giggling madly. Toshiro sighed and darted down towards me, catching my arm. "We need our gigai so we can start our mission." He said at me. I pouted and kicked him off.

"You're no fun!" I hissed. I started to jump in the air toward Urahara's shop. I smiled when we arrived. "Urahara!" I squealed running towards him and throwing my arms around him. I giggled and squeezed until he fell back.

"Whoa. Mary!" he said pushing me off. He gave me his normal amused look and said, "I have your gigai's." he walked up inside. Without looking, I stepped into mine, feeling my soul melt into the body. I stood in front of the window and saw what I looked like.

My blonde hair was mussed in the perfect rock star style around my face. My eyes were normal, the same color they were before I was killed—a gray blue, with a hint of green— and my skin was tan as it was when I committed suicide. I wore a black tank-top with a skull in the middle making an amused anime face** and it said below, "Poke me and I keel you."

I was wearing black skinny jeans and a pair of black combat boots. "Dude!" I screamed. Toshiro and Urahara's looked at me with a question. "I love it!" I said to him. "I knew it." Urahara said with a laugh. I smiled at him and then looked at Toshiro. "Let's do this!"

The poke me and I Keel you thing is an inside joke with my friend Laur-Bear. (that's her many nicknames) We were at swim practice, and she poked me and I turned giving her the evil eye and said, "I am going to get a tattoo that says 'Poke me and I kill you' on my back." It might be visa-versa or h/e you say that. Anyways, enjoy RETURN! Erhm, also if I spell a bleach term wrong, or you know what something's called that I don't know (example: Standard soul reaper uniform. I know it starts with an S! Give me some credit, I may be a bleach fan, but it's not like they say it in the show. Psh.) Blah Blah Blah. Credit to Tite Kubo. Etc.!
