A/N: Hey everyone to make a long story short I had a car run into me while riding and they hit the side my laptop was in… The laptop was fine but my keyboard stopped working. So a couple days later I took it apart because I hate paying people for things I can do myself. It just so happens that the cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard got disconnected so all is good now.

Byakuya Kuchki was scouting for Rukia above Karakura town when he realized his lieutenant was sleeping on the job again.
"Renji wake up."
"Huh? Oh sorry. You found her?" Renji said scrambling to his feet.
"No."
"Oh well I guess we had better go visit your friend."
"Alright lets go."
Byakuya wanted to try to avoid going to that man for help but at this point he had no other choice. If anyone knew the real world and where to find Rukia it would be Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yourichi. They had been exiled from Soul Society since he was a young boy for reasons everyone knew were false.
As they cut across town they came upon the small candy shop Urahara called home. It was 6:00 in the morning and the shop was just about to open any minute.
"It looks like no one's home Captain."
"They're here." Byakuya said heading over to the large metal door that leads into the shop.
"How can you be sure?"
"I know these people more than you think I do."
"So how can you be sure they're here?"
"Renji…"
"Yes?"
"Shut-up."
There was an scary silence for the longest time until noise from behind the doors could be heard. Byakuya raised his hand and began to knock and a small voice came out and it sounded as though a little boy were making it.
"Go away! We don't open for another 30 minutes." The rude voice said.
"I need to speak with Urahara Kisuke Immediately." Byakuya said getting a little irritated.
The doors to the shop opened but only to the height of the figure coming out.
"Look I don't care who y-." The small red headed boy paused when he saw the Captain. "Shopkeeper! Come quick! You have guests!"
Urahara stepped out of his room and looked around in a sleepy manner.
"Oh? Who could possibly want to see me at this hour?" He said walking out towards the main shop area.
"Urahara Kisuke I am in need of your assistance." Byakuya said.
"Well my my well if this isn't a surprise! How have you been Kuchki boy?" Urahara said getting out of his grogginess
"I told you never to call me that again!"
"Sorry… What will you be needing today?"
"I need you to help me find my sister you see she's gone missing from the tracker and I've come here to find her and to top it all off Central 46 suspects her to be a traitor."
Urahara's eyes widened. This is definitely the work of Aizen. Any fool would know that Rukia would never betray anyone. Aizen must know that Urahara stored the Hougyoku inside her and pulled some strings to get her back.
He couldn't let that happen. As much as he didn't like it but he could never let Rukia back into Soul Society. He had to think fast however to throw Byakuya off her trail.
"No I'm sorry I have no way of tracking Ms. Kuchki but if she's disappeared off the scanners then isn't there a possibility she's not on Earth anymore?"
"What are you suggesting?"
"As I'm sure you know one of her long time friends was sent on a mission to the Menos Forsest in Hueco Mundo long ago. I think she believes that person is still alive and might be trying to rescue him."
"Huh. I see I guess the only thing anyone can do is wait and see how this plays out… Well thank you for your help." Byakuya said leaving the shop with his lieutenant who hadn't said a word the entire time.
Urahara was relieved. He couldn't believe how easy it was to fool Byakuya. Now he can get back to work on that special gigai that will make Ms. Kuchki appear to be a normal human.
It was now 6:30. Byakuya and Renji were walking down Main Street taking in the sights. It had been at least 50 years since Byakuya had even seen the real world. He was a captain after all. Why would he need to come to the real world?
The two had rounded a corner into an alleyway when unbeknownst to either of them a dark blue haired boy had been following them menacingly the entire way. When Renji had finally noticed he gripped his zanpaktuo.
"I don't know who the hell you are but you had better back off." Renji said to the boy.
"Oh look the little Shinigami filth thinks he's tough." The boy said as a light started to emit from his hands.
The next thing Renji knew was that he was pinned up against the wall by four arrows of light.
"What the hell is this!" Renji said trying to escape.
"Your funeral procession."
Byakuya then disappeared in a flash and ended up behind the boy.
Ishida turned around only to find a sword about to be swung at his neck.
"I don't like you… humans should posses no knowledge of us."
Ishida had no time to react. It would take a miracle for him to avoid the blade. As the blade came closer a bright white light appeared in the distance. In less than a second the sword was knocked off course by an arrow of pure energy.
Byakuya was shocked could there be another human that knows of his existence?
Ishida looked to the source of the light and what he saw gave him a look of displeasure.
"Why did you come here? Ryuuken… I don't need your help." Ishida said
"Now now… Is that anyway to thank your father after he saved your life?" Ryuuken said.
"This Shinigami filth caught me off guard. I can handle myself." Ishida said preparing his bow to strike at the bewildered Byakuya.
"You're getting in way over your head boy. He is not the average Shinigami you're used to dealing with… You can't beat him."
"W-what a-are you talking abou-."
Ryuuken then disappeared in a buzz and reappeared in front of Ishida with some sort of washcloth in his hand. He then raised it to Ishida's mouth.
"I'm sorry son but you must come with me… I can't have you die here. We need to prepare."
Ishida's eyes began to close as the chemical in the cloth began to make him dizzy. His legs began to shake and he collapsed into his father's arms.
Byakuya who had freed Renji from the arrows just stood there watching when Ryuuken began to speak.
"I'm not here to fight you. I just came to control this idiot from doing something he'll regret. I'll be on my way if you promise not to chase after us." Ryuuken said putting Ishida over his shoulders.
"That's fine. But maybe you can help us. We're searching for another Shinigami by the name of Kuchki Rukia. She's disappeared from our trackers and we came to find her."
"Yes. I know whom your talking about. She's joined my son's class at school. If you wait until 3:00 you can find her exiting the school. It's right down the road you can't miss it." Ryuuken said.
"Thanks. We'll be on our way. Come Renji."
"Yes Captain." He said giving Ryuuken a death look.

Rukia was walking towards Urahara's candy shop. He had asked her to be there the very early in the morning and that he had a surprise for her. He didn't say as to what it was but whatever it was it wasn't going to be anything she would like.
As she approached the door a smiling man greeted her with a fan hiding the smile.
"Ah Ms. Kuchki please come in. I have a new toy for you." He said leading her into the back.
What she saw was a perfect imitation faux body of her hung up on the wall.
"But… I already have a gigai." She said.
"Yes but this one is a real flesh gigai and you can move in it with no effort whatsoever… Also I gave it some super powered legs." He said trying to refrain from laughing.
"That's pretty neat… Soooo… How much?" She said taking out what appeared to be a wallet.
"It's free of charge. You only need to wear it for at least 3 hours before taking it off or you won't be able to put it back on." He said.
"Why's that?"
"Oh uhm. It remembers who you are and won't let anyone else use it as they're own." He lied.
"Okay sure thing."
Rukia then slipped out of her cheap plastic gigai. It had been a while since she had been in a real flesh body and she wasn't so sure if she'd be able to handle a modded body at first.
As soon as she entered the faux body she immediately felt her power begin to drain.
"Kisuke what is this? Gigai's are supposed to help regain our powers." She said.
"At first your power will drain to help power your legs. In about 3 hours you'll be the fastest student at your school."
"Oh that's right! I need to get to school. Thanks Kisuke!" She said running out the door.
Urahara couldn't help but feel accomplished as he watched Rukia run out of the store. He had successfully fooled her into becoming a human. It may have been a dirty trick but so many lives were at stake.
"Shopkeeper…" Tessai said.
"Yes what is it?" Urahara said turning to face the giant.
"What if Captain Kuchki finds her before she becomes human."
"I don't think we'll have to worry about that. This city has been growing over the past couple of years. It would be very unlikely unless somebody had given him a hint." Urahara said sitting down feeling great. "But what are the chances of that happening?"

Jushiro Ukitake was rushing through the streets of the Seiretei heading towards the 1st squads barracks when he saw Shunsui kyoraku sleeping on top of a nearby tower. Ukitake thought about waking him up but would he really believe his story? No one in their right mind except for Yammamoto would believe his story. The only one who could believe Jushiro was the Commander himself. After all he had to at least know the original King of Soul Society.
He was interrupted in his thoughts when he heard a shout from the nearby tower.
"Yo! Ukitake! Where are you going so fast!" Shunsui shouted.
Oh well at least Shunsui won't make fun of him even if his story didn't make sense.
"I've got something I need to tell the Commander. It's very important that he hears it right away." Ukitake said.
"Hm? Well whats it about?" Shunsui asked while stepping down to where Ukitake was standing.
"Come on let's go for a walk… I'll tell you everything."
…Moments later…
"Ukitake do you have any idea what your saying?" Shunsui said
"I know what I heard. Three of our captains are going to betray us and attempt to assassinate the King of Soul Society." Ukitake reiterated.
"No not about that. About you being the new head captain." Shunsui said with a laugh.
"I know sounds crazy right." Ukitake said with an even louder laugh.
"I'm not saying you wouldn't be a good Commander or anything but you are deathly ill after all." Shunsui said.
"Yes I wish there was some sort of cure but I guess I'm out of luck. Maybe there was some reason he chose me over anyone else."
"I don't know but you had better go tell the old man quick before anything bad happens."
"Right… I'll see you later." Ukitake said before disappearing in a flash.

"Ichigo…" Nel said as he held her in his arms. "You don't know how much I want to go to school with you but it's not like I can just blend in with you and your friends." She said with a little sadness in her voice.
"It's fine if you don't want to go but I need you to be around me. Inside of me there's this being who claims to be my "real" power and he told me you being near me controls my reaitsu flow." Ichigo said.
Nel's lips curled into a smile. When you truly care for someone that someone has spiritual influence in your inner world and can even empower you to do things only in your dreams.
"Can I come anyway? I want to see your friends." She said more cheerfully.
"Definitely." Ichigo said.
He then let Nel out of his arms and they both got up from the bed.
"I've got to get ready I'll see you outside k?" He said starting to take off his shirt.
Nel didn't move however. She was frozen still as she noticed how lean and muscular he was.
"Nel. I'm gonna start strippin. You better get out now." He said going for the closet.
"Oh… I don't mind." She said laughing.
"Nel!" Ichigo said with a blush.
"Fine. I'll see you outside." She said heading out the door.
As she was walking down the stairs people could be heard talking in the kitchen. She figured they couldn't see her anyway so she decided to try and slip out the door unnoticed. When she rounded the corner Isshin and Karin immediately stopped what they were doing. Isshin had always tried to hide the fact that he too could see ghosts so as not to raise suspicion that he was a Shinigami.
"What's wrong Karin?" Yuzu said
"I-It's nothing Yuzu more food please." Karin said returning to her breakfast.
When Isshin finally realized what was happening he collapsed onto the ground smiling as hard as he could.
"Dad!" Karin and Yuzu shouted.
"H-he's a-a m-an now… I'm s-so proud of him." Isshin whispered.
"What the hell are you talking about!" Karin shouted
When Karin looked up the woman was gone. But the door remained slightly open.
"I wonder who she was…" Karin whispered to herself.
Nel didn't expect that. How could they see her? Then she remembered… Ichigo said something about his "real" power. Like he had Shinigami powers that belonged to him. If that's true then his father must also be a Shinigami.
"Nel! You ready?" Ichigo said as he jumped down from his window.
"Yeah I'm ready." Nel said with a smile "Hey Ichigo… did you know your dad and sister could see me?" She said.
"I know that Karin could see you but not my dad." Ichigo said. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason…" She said wrapping her arm around his.
"Let's go! I can't wait!" She said pulling him towards the school.
