Kakashi was carrying Naruto and then he threw him into a nearby pond. "What the hell! where is that bastard!" Naruto yelled out. "Those people were Shinigami..."

Naruto gave him a puzzled look. "Come we have to see Tsunade-sama and tell her the situation." Kakashi said while opening his book and walking.

Ichigo Byakuya and a now back to normal Yoruichi were walking to the area where Ichigo left his Gigai. "Get in and let's go to town..." Byakuya said coldly as he brought out a gigai of his own so did Yoruichi. "Come on Kurosaki.." Yoruichi let some of her hair cover her face and she had a small jacket with some ninja type pants. Byakuya had a white vest and long black pants

with his hair tied back. Ichigo finished putting on his clothes. He wore a black cloak with white bandages covering his chest. "Let's go..." As they headed into town they disappeared.

- -

"So let me get this straight...you two saw Shinigami...here in the leaf village..." Kakashi and Naruto nodded. "You two are idiots..." Kakashi pulled out a small photo and gave it to Tsunade.

She looked at it for a few minutes then handed it back. "I take back that last statement...these are real life Shinigami..." Kakashi looked at Tsunade. "He fought one...and by the looks of it they were matched throughout the whole thing..." Naruto nodded then remembered during the fight Ichigo summoned a mask but then crushed it. "No we weren't...he has more power.."

Kakashi looked at Naruto with a puzzled expression. "I know something on shinigami as my father had contact with them before...and I believe that he is a vizard..."

Tsunade looked at Naruto. "So what is a vizard..." "A vizard is a mix of Shinigami and a dangerous creature called a hollow...I fought one as well...they seem to have great endurance against my Rasengan as I did nothing to him but it matches that guy with no problem what so ever..." Tsunade looked at him with a shocked expression. "How did it do nothing!" "It just didn't work..."

Tsunade rubbed her temples. "Naruto you Kakashi, Hinata, and Neji have a mission...find the Shinigami and bring them here so I can have a word with them..." Naruto and Kakashi bowed.

"Yes Granny we will get them..." As they walked out they saw Neji and Hinata outside. Kakashi called them over. "We have a mission...Naruto will explain on the way..."

Hinata blushed then nodded. Neji just walked and followed Kakashi.

"Were almost there Byakuya Yoruichi.." Yoruichi was just looking at the surroundings and Byakuya was just focused on finishing their mission. "Wow this place is beautifull when were not trying to kill some overly murderous monsters..." Ichigo chuckled while Byakuya just Sighed. Ichigo pointed at the front gates. "We're here..." Ichigo walked in and walked past two Jounins.

"Kurenai...do you know these people..." "No not really...they just appeared today..." They were getting looks especially guys checking out Yoruichi. Byakuya was murmuring 'I knew I shouldn't have brought her along especially with a distraction like this...' Byakuya Ichigo and Yoruichi made it to an Inn and decided to go in. A young woman was at the counter. Byakuya stepped up.

"Ehem we would like to rent some rooms for a while..." the girl looked up then smiled. "Yes sir...how many rooms...two or three..." "Three please..." Byakuya handed her a large sum of money.

"This should cover our stay for a while and thank you very much..." The girl handed Byakuya the keys then led them to their rooms. They stopped in front of three neatly fixed rooms. "There you go.."

Byakuya opened the door and then tossed the other two keys to Yoruichi and Ichigo. Byakuya actually liked the room it was peaceful so he went straight to sleep. "Ichigo went to the training grounds for a while then went to the hot springs right after he went to sleep. Yoruichi on the other hand was restless and decided to go to nearby bar and drink for a while. "Hey old man three bottles of sake please..."

"Coming right up..." As soon as the man brought up the Sake she began drinking it. After her last bottle she got up and headed back to their room but not before bumping into Kakashi.

"Why hello..." Yoruichi looked up then her eyes widened. 'Crap it's the guy who hypnotized me' "Umm...Hi" Yoruichi said as she walked away. After a few minutes she was near the hotel and guessed that Ichigo and Byakuya were resting. Then a gang of thugs came out and grabbed Yoruichi from behind. "Hey there little lady...you're coming with us..."

Yoruichi was able to get out of their grip and kicked one of the thugs down while she began punching the others. "Why you little bitch!" One of the thugs pulled out a kunai and revealed that he was from the hidden grass village.

"My my aren't we up late..." Kakashi was behind one of the ninja then pulled up his headband. "Now you have till three...one...two..." The ninja pulled out kunai and one of then began forming seals.

"Earth style : Earth dragon barrage!" Three dragons made of earth appeared and charged for Kakashi. He jumped up and destroyed two of them with quick shots from his kunai. The last one was three times as big as the first two. Kakashi formed seals then shot two Kunai that wrapped around it. "Fire dragon Jutsu!" The fire rushed breaking through the dragon and destroying the kunai being held by the one who used the technique. Yoruichi was fighting off the thug that held her by her arm. "Damn you..." Yoruichi got mad and finally jumped up giving them a break neck kick sending them both into a building. As Kakashi fought off the last three taking them out with quick punches to the gut. Yoruichi shortly left and went into the hotel.

- -

Meanwhile Kakashi tied up the group of nin that attacked Yoruichi. "Where did she go...well whatever..." Kakashi went home and slept. The next morning Yoruichi took a bath in the Hot springs and then walked out dressed in a white and purple kimono she bought days prior to coming to Konoha. Byakuya Put on a long black button up shirt with gold trim all over it and black dress pants.

Ichigo walked out with robes on and a sword he bought at a shop nearby. He made sure to comb his hair in front of his face so that he would be hard to recognize. "SO where are you going today?"

Yoruichi grinned. "I'm going into town and see what they have..." Byakuya sighed. "I'm going into the forest...it's the best chance we have of capturing the Hollows and killing them."

"Well I'm gonna do some quick training...I think I could find a sparring partner.." Byakuya glared at Ichigo. "Don't use any of your shinigami powers...got it" Ichigo sighed."Whatever..."

They all went their separate ways.

Ichigo's day...

Ichigo walked towards the training ground he was at yesterday and began training on some dummies he set up. He hacked and slashed the dummies at once seeing them explode into little bits.

As Ichigo kept training Lee, Naruto, and Shikamaru were walking by and saw Ichigo training. "Oi you over there!!" "What..." Ichigo saw Naruto then decided to ignore him.

"Hey I'm talking to you!" Lee stepped up to him. "I see you might need a sparring partner might I test your strength?" Ichigo stood up straight then sheathed the sword. "Hehe alright.."

Ichigo put his hand on the hilt of the sword. "Ready when you are..." "Let us begin..." Ichigo pulled out his sword. "Zangetsu!" The sword transformed into the long two handed sword he regularly used.

Lee was impressed by the technique. Lee rushed at Ichigo while He held his blade in a defensive stance. Lee began by sending a kick to the blade making Ichigo slide back and then he kicked him up.

Lee grinned. He ducked a hit from Ichigo and kicked him in the jaw sending him up. "Leaf tempest!" He yelled out as he slammed Ichigo into the ground. he stood up wiping away the dirt from him robes. He soon disappeared and gave him two quick cuts then a kick sending him in the air. He disappeared again then used the hilt of his sword to slam him into the ground. "Ungh...you're really good...What's your name?" Ichigo smirked"you just call me Abarai Renji.."

'He is sooooo gonna kick my ass when I get back to soul society...' In soul society Renji sneezed then looked up. "When Ichigo gets back I'm going to kick his ass..."

Back to the match...

Lee smirked. "Well ok then Renji prepare yourself..." He rushed in again and spun around. "Leaf whirlwind!" The three kicks sent Ichigo back as he began exchanging blows with his blade and Lee with his Kunai. Eventually they knocked each other back and Ichigo held up his sword. 'Byakuya said not to...but I don't really care...' He swung his sword forward. "Getsuga Tensho!" Lee's eyes widened then he put chakra into his hands. He stood in a defensive position and held off the attack until Ichigo ran forward and tried to hit Lee but got kicked in the gut making him fall back and Lee fell at the same time. Ichigo smirked. "Phew now that's what I call sparring..." Ichigo walked up to Lee. "Thank you...uhhh I never got your name..."

"Oh yes my name Is Rock Lee The hidden leaf villages Handsome devil.." They shook hands. Naruto was still wondering about the attack "Renji" used. Naruto walked up to Ichigo then got into a fighting stance. "I want to spar against you next.." Ichigo nodded then got into a fighting stance again. They charged for each other as Lee and Shikamaru looked on. In a nearby tree A hollow in the shape of a human was waiting for them to finish. "My meal is almost done..."

Yoruichi's day...

Yoruichi was walking around town when she noticed that people were looking at her. As she was walking she noticed she was receiving glances from the male jounins in the village.

One of them happened to be Kakashi. He appeared next to Yoruichi."why hello again.." Yoruichi jumped up but because of her cat like nature she swore she jumped as high as anyone could in this world.

"My my aren't we a little jumpy today..." Kakashi held out a small bottle in his hand. "Here...this will take care of the bruises on your arms and uhh...other parts they may have hit..."

Yoruichi had her famous cat like grin then leaned on Kakashi. "Why thank you for helping me...why don't we spend some time together as a reward for saving me..." Kakashi smiled as he wrapped his arm around hers then guided her around town. "Well I never caught your name..." Kakashi was looking at her with a say the wrong name and your busted look. "Soi...my name is Soi..."

Kakashi looked at her then they sat down in front of a pond in the park. "My name is Hatake Kakashi...the Copy nin..." "Copy nin?" Yoruichi was curious then she saw the same eye that hypnotised her.

"I carry a rare type of eye it's called the Sharingan...I have it at It's maxed out stage...the Magekyou...as long as I use this eye I can copy any technique as long as it is not bloodline based."

"Oh so thats why your called the copy nin..." Kakashi smiled. "Actually it is because I have copied over one thousand techniques..." Yoruichi looked at him then leaned her head on Kakashi's shoulder. "So Soi...why are you here...in Konoha that is..." "I came here on a mission with two other friends..." "Oh so your a nin?" "Not really I am actually an adept Martial artist and I am the best with a sword and my speed is actually hard to beat...my nickname is the goddess of flash..." 'Damn right she's a goddess!' Kakashi thought. "oh ok..." Kakashi got up and began walking with Yoruichi arm in arm. "I actually haven't thanked you properly...for saving me..." Kakashi looked at her as she pulled his mask down. He tried to stop he but there was something about her that let her keep going. When she slid his mask down completely she gave him a deep kiss. When she pulled away Kakashi looked at her then noticed she was shivering. Then he looked down.

He was grasping her chest making her blush like crazy. Yoruichi finally looked up and gave him a swift smack leaving a bruise on his cheek. "Idiot...I want to be romantic but they always have to be perverts especially the cute ones!!" Kakashi noticed his mask was still off then he pulled it back up. "Well sorry about that...I got caught in the moment." 'at least he's honest...'

Yoruichi just walked towards him keeping her hand on her chest as not to let him feel...or er wander.. "So Soi what do you want to do next?" Yoruichi grinned like crazy. "How bout we go to the mixed hot springs." As soon as Kakashi heard "mixed" his nosebleed was greater than any one he has had before. 'Me and the goddess naked in the hot springs...JACKPOT!!!!'

Kakashi turned. "Ok let's go..." "My my aren't we a little happy..." Yoruichi said with a large smile.

Byakuya's day...

Byakuya was walking through the forest when he stopped at a small river to get a drink and eat some of the food he packed. Meanwhile on the way back from a mission Shizune was jumping from tree to tree when she looked down and saw Byakuya eating and drinking. "What is he doing here...he can't be in here this is near the leaf villages border." Shizune landed in front of Byakuya. "How can I help you..." Shizune saw him as calm and not very threatening but she still held a kunai under her sleeve.

"I'm sorry but you need to leave...this is near the border of the leaf village..." Byakuya finished his food then sipped his last bit of water. "I cannot I am traveling to find some rare herbs to make some special balm..." Shizune sighed. "Well I am sorry but I have to take you by force..." Byakuya looked down then stood back up straight.

"ok then..." Byakuya held out his hands. "Poison mist Jutsu!" She shot out a large cloud of poison covering Byakuya but he appeared behind and pointed his middle and index finger forward. "Kidou four...Byakurai..." Byakuya shot out a large wave of lightning that was to fast for Shizune to escape. "Ahhhh!" Shizune screamed out as she fell to the floor. "What power was that..." Byakuya looked at her then pointed his fingers forward again. "Kidou number sixty one...light rod prison"

Pillars appeared and covered Shizune's body. "Ungh...damn...it..." Shizune said as she fell unconscious from the prisons grasp on her. "Trouble..."

Byakuya saw a Hollow approach them. He pulled out a tag then released his shinigami form. Byakuya dropped his sword. "Ban Kai..." The sword sunk into the ground and formed two long rows of swords. "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi..." The swords turned into petals and attacked the hollow. "What the hell!!" The hollow screamed as multiple cuts appeared on its body. Then a giant wave of lightning hit the hollow in the head making it disperse into spirit particles. Byakuya returned into his Gigai and picked up Shizune. "She is actually pretty light for someone so skilled..." Byakuya carried her when he looked down he found an herb that he used to cure the wounds on her. "There she should be able to rest without any discomfort..." Byakuya picked her up again and carried her to the Inn they were staying at.

As he passed by Ichigo's and Yoruichi's room he noticed they were still out. Byakuya set her in his bed then sat on the floor and began meditating. After an hour she woke up and smacked Byakuya. Byakuya woke up and saw she was awake. "What the hell did you do to me that I have this stuff on my face and chest!" Byakuya got up.

"I used a special herb that heals any wounds within a day...it is very rare..." Shizune then calmed down and was about to leave when she noticed she had a hard time moving.

"You won't be able to move for about a day or so..." "Ok..." "Just rest and in the morning I will accompany you back to the Village." Shizune nodded then lied back down and rested for a while longer.

Back to ichigo

Naruto and Ichigo were tired and were at their limit when they both collapsed. "That was a good match..." "Yeah..." Naruto was picked up and taken to the Hospital by

Shikamaru and Lee when Yoruichi came and helped Ichigo go back to the Hotel. "So Ichigo how was your day?" "Good...You?" "Great.." Yoruichi smiled.

"Well let's go back.." "All right.." When they got back they went to sleep while Byakuya was already asleep. In a tree two Hollows are starring at the Hotel.

"We must be ready...to finish them then we can go back..." "Yes sir..." They said as they kept spying on the Shinigamis.
