Books and goblins
It didn't take long for Rukia and Ichigo to kill the hollows, they were really week. He killed two, while she killed one. The hollows had gone on a rant saying how they were going to devoured the two souls and enjoy the taste of it. They didn't even land a scratch on either of them. It was one of the easiest kills,after they purified the hollows the two shinigami stayed on the air for a few minutes overlooking the city. A part of the city seemed to be inhabited by that Magical community, while the rest were normal humans. The city was old, and some buildings seemed to be falling apart but people still lived in them. There was a lot of commotion ,people running, and yelling, cars honking, and insults being thrown at random. But even though it was old and noisy it was still a pleasant sight
"Hey Rukia, we should head back" Ichigo said without taking his eyes away from the pleasant view. She only nodded and took off.
When they reached the room it was to find Renji to be sleeping and Toshiro meditating. Their gigais had been left on the ground were they left them.
''Hey you know you could at least hide our bodies in the closet, someone might have walked in and notice were not breathing.'' Ichigo exasperatedly said to Toshiro who didn't even bother to look at him
"What's the point you got back in less than five minutes" Renji said from where he was lying
''Hey I thought you were asleep!" Ichigo responded in surprise
"No I'm not. I'm just trying to keep it quiet so Captain Hitsugaya can meditate. "
"Well I'm leaving to my room" Rukia said from the door already in her gigai.
"Later Rukia" Ichigo said as she stepped out and closed the door. He quickly jumped into his gigaiand and then went to lie down on his bed. He looked at his watch and noticed it wasn't even past eleven. There was still a long day ahead.
0o00oo0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00 o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o 0o0o0o0o0o0o0ooo
Something was taping him. At first he tried to shoo it away but it just kept coming back.. Tap. tap .tap. he reacted and swiftly grabbed the hand of whoever was bothering him, he opened his eyes to find Rukia sitting down beside his bed.
''What do you want? '' he asked irritated at her for waking him up from a pleasant sleep.
''Have you read the letter I gave you yet?" She asked as she stood up not bothering to apologies for waking him.
''No, I haven't had time since I was trying to catch on some SLEEP!'' he said as he let go of her hand.
''Get up, you should be used to not getting enough hours of sleep by now '' she said as she hit him with a pillow on his stomach
''Ugh are you crazy I'm not fully awake and you're already hitting me '' he said as he rubed his stomach.
''With the father you grew up with your reflexes should be better than this'' she said as she hit him again.
'' ugh Fine I'll get up" he sat and looked aroundand noticed that they were alone.
"Where is everybody?''
"Oh, Hitsugaya is with Karin and Renji is with Momo''
"He's with Karin?'' he asked as he lifted his eyebrow .That boy had been spending way too much time with my sister for my liking. He thought. He looked at the lighting in the room and noticed that it was still bright outside ''what time is it?''
''It's just past one o'clock ''she said as she stood up and started walking to one of the drawers.
"What are you looking for?"
''The letters. You should see what we need to get before tomorrow or we will be running around like crazy aha found them'' She said as she opened it and placed it in front of my face

''We have to buy all those books. I don't think I have enough money ''. Ichigo said as he started at the leter
"What do you mean, you won't have enough? .They gave us a bag full with money" Rukia said misbeliving as she placed her hands on her hips
"Yea well it's not enough, I assure you " Ichigo said in a very confident voice
"How would you know?"
"Well I do run a squad and I know how much things cost and I'm sure these books won't be cheap"
"Well I think I have enough with the extra money Nii-sama gave me."
"How much did he give you?"
"I don't know it's a small bag filled with gold coins he said it should be enough to last for two years" she said innocently .
"WHAT? Two years. Does your brother have a gold mine hidden somewhere, or does he just literally shit gold?. OW don't hit me" he said after she punched his cheek sending him of the bed and on to the cold floor
"Well then don't talk about Nii-sama that way "
"Well, its true I mean what are you going to do with so much money were only going to be there until we find Hisagi and Izuru "
''Yea but we don't know how long that will take '' she stated matter of fact.
''Yea your right" he said in defeat.
''Of course I am besides Nii-sama said that if there was not enough money in everibody elses bag to feel free and use what he gave me'' she said in her sweet high pitched girlish voice that he hated. He only stared at her. She only smiled back
"Come one we should probably try to figure out how we are going to do this tomorrow he said as he stood up and walked towards the door.
OoooooOoOOoOoOoO
Twenty minutes later they were all gathered in Ichigos room.
"So why are we in my room" Ichigo asked as he looked around at the large amount of people in his room
"We are here because you wanted to discuss what we will be doing tomorrow remember'' Shinji said as if Ichigo where stupid not to remember the reason for the meeting
"No i know that. I meant why we are in my room?" Ichigo question as he looked around at everybody
"Does it matter Ichi-nii as long As we get this settled " Karin said with a bored expresion on her face.
'Besides it's not only your room but also ours" Renji said from his place on the floor
."Ok, so I suppose we have all seen what we have to get right?" he continied
There was a chorus of yes
"Well, how exactly are we going to get all these things, I mean it will take us all day if we go as a group so I was thinking of splitting up"
"How exactly'' Renji asked hoping ichogo had an idea.
"Well I was thinking some of us could go get the books, while others get the materials then we can meet to get our cloths and then buy our sticks"
"Wands" Hitsugaya corrected as he took another bite of his watermelon that he had been silently eating.
"Where did you get that?" Shinji asked as he eyed the watermellon
"Kitchen " Hitsugaya stated matter of fact.
"And you didn't think to share" Karin asked him
''No, I don't like to share my watermelon''
''Well to bad I'm taking some'' Karin said as she took a piece, Toshiro only glared . Ichigo noticed that ever since the winter war and Karin going to Soul Society, Toshiro had lightened up a bit. He still got angry very fast but he wasn't that uptight .Or at least with Karin he wasn't. Well the kid did need friends and he supposed he found one in Karin, besides they had meet when she was only 11 years old.
"Ok back to what Ichigo was saying, I don't think it would be wise for us to divide the objects amongst us'' Renji said
"Why?" Rukia womderd out loude
"Because that will mean a few of us will end up caring more than 30 books" Renji sadi again.
There was a slight mumble from Hanataro but nobody heard it
" Hanataro-chan said we go right now to get some of the stuff and then we can go Tomorrow to get the rest'' Yuzu repeated loudly
''Finally someone said something worth listening to'' they all turned to see Hiyory getting up from where she had been sitting
"One problem" Shinji said as Hiyory reached the door.
''And what would that be? ''
"We don't know where this place to by all the things we need is''
Time skip
The Shinigami and Visored group were walking through the streets of Diagon ally. They were amassed at how this place was behind a brick wall. More to their surprise was that it had to be opened with a wand, and the one to open it had been none other than Urahara.
"So, where to first?" Renji called from all the way at end of the group
"We exchange our money to wizzarding money or else they will not accept it''
"And where exactly do we exchange our money?'' Ichigo asked
"Why Gingots of course" urahara said as he pointed to a building that said Gringots bank
They walked through the doors and only stared in shock. The inside of the building was bigger than the outside, It must be magic most of them were thinking, everything looked to be the color of gold the floor the window frames even the celing. The counters were so tall that people couldn't see a thing on top.
"What can I do for you?" An old looking man with pointed ears asked as he looked at them. None of the Souls noticed how the Goblin had become tense the minute he looked at them.
"We are here to exchange Japanese currency into wizzarding money'' Urahara said with his usual smile.
"How much are you changing?"
"All of them need money" Urahara said as he pointed to the group behind him with his playful smile. "Ok the how much will that be in total.?"
"They each want to change a small bag".
''Follow me then'' the man said as he stepped out from behind the counter. To the surprise of the soul reapers the man was diminutive. They followed him through a corridor that held many doors. He then opened one and led them inside.
"Give me your bags and wait here" he said as he pulled a bag from his clothes and opened it . They all dropped their bags and watch him start to drag it out.
/Hey Rukia/ ichigo whispered to her
/Yea/
/You must fell really tall right now/ ichigo said to rukia as he eyed her. /OW, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU'' she gave him a good kick in the shin. /That's for calling me short/
"I never said that". He mumbled but didn't push it any further since he didn't want to be hoping on one leg for the rest of the evening.
''Dou you need help" Yuzu said as she took a step closer to the man
''NO'' He said as he flinched when she touched him. Yuzu jumped back in surprise ''I can handle it myself'' the Goblin said as he left .
''Rude much, and what the hell was that thing?" Renji asked
''I thinks it's obvious from his height -or lack of it- that he's related to rukia" Ichigo said as he grind at Rukia. She elbowed him on the lower abdominal area, making him bend in rest of the group only laughed At it. Everyone had learned one way or the other that Rukia was really self-conscious of her hight. No one teased her about it anymore. They were all afraid of getting hit in the shin, getting elbowed in the gut or getting punched in the face. There was only one person who bothered her about her height and that was Ichigo. No matter how hard she hit him or how hard she screamed at him, he never learned. Some even thought he was a masochist.
''Seriously what was that? '' Momo asked again.
''That was a goblin'' Urahara answered
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o 0o0
The goblin was walking at a quick pace coild as he dragged the bag of money. To say he was freaking out would be little in comparison to how he was truly felling. The people in the room were strange. There was something about them that bother him. Perhaps it was the dark aura they emitted . No it could not be that. If it were that, then he would have been terrified at the death eaters since they had a similar aura. But then what was it? What was it that was bothering him that made him jumpy around these people? He didn't know and he didn't want to be in the same room as them again. He was so lost in thought he bumped into someone and landed on the floor
''Gr-gr-gri-iphook s-s-sir I -i didn't see you there'' the goblin stuttered
''What is wrong with you you seem shaken up'' Griphood said as he looked at the young goblin who looked as if he were about to faint
''Well you see i-i '' he quicly explaind to the other goblin what was occuring
''Spit it out boy'' Griphook comanded
''Th- there is th this g-g-group of p-p-people th-that they ha-ha-have this au-r-r-r-ra i-i-i d-ddont whant -t-to deal withe them''.
''Go change the money and then give it to me ill deal with this situation, where did you leave them? ''
'' In the non-exit room" the young goblin said with relief in his voice at not having to deal with that group of people.
''I see'' The non-exit room was a room where if led inside by a goblin and closed, then only a goblin would be able to open the door. this room was only used for when they were suspisious of somene.
He must be extreamly scared to go to these extremeties Griphook thought to himself
O0o0o0o0o0o0
Twenty minutes later the Grriphook was walking back to meet the 'strange people' . With money in hand he opened the door and immediately understood why the young goblin was freaking out. These people where not normal .Not only was their aura dark, the air in the room was dense, making hard to felt as if his bones were about to snap any second. He observed every one of them. They had the same aura. But there were three in particular who had an even darker aura. The two blonds standing apart from the rest of the group, and the oranged haird boy. He needed to get rid of them and fast. No one except Urahara knowticed how the goblin had been staring at the three Visoreds.
''Here is you money, take it and leave and don't ever come back'' he sadi as he tossed the bag at their feet
''That's a little rude don't you think'' Momo asked offended at the way they were being treated
''What have we done to be treated this way?'' Rukia asked as she steped in front of the Goblin
'Its not what you have done, it is what you are? And Human you are not."
That answer left the shinigammy surprised as they looked to one another.
''Then what are we according to you?'' Urahara asked with curiosity leaking in his voice
"You are surrounded by death. You are those who take souls to the other world. You are soul reapers "
0o0o0oooo0o0o
''Man how in the world did Shorty know what we were?' Renji asked as they wondered around looking for the book shop.
''I don't know. But I think best not to return there. '' Shinji stated
''Then how are we to get money if we need more.'' Yuzu asked Ichigo
''Well have to find a human to do it for us'' He responded as he placed a hand on Yuzus shoulder to reassure her that everything would be fine.
''Well we can worry about that later. Now what we need to do is get those books'' Karin said as she headed in front of everyone. They kept walking until they realized they had no Idea where they were going.
''Someone needs to ask for directions. ''Hey Urahara? Urahara ? Dame him, where did he go?'' Hyiory yelled as she kept looking for the captain of the 12 division
''Great he left us, and whent back to the hotell''Shinji said as he looked around. There were many people rushing in and out of stores. Many people yelling to their children not to wonder to far. None of them seemed to notice the group that was completely lost
''How do you know?'' Hiyory asked as she pointed her finger at Shinji.
''Because there was a note stuck to your back'' he said as he held up the note for everyone to see.
''Um excuse me mam could you direct us to where we can buy our books'' everyone turned to see Hanataro asking a red hair plump kind faced woman
''I've never seen you before .Are you knew to school?"
''y-yes w-we are '' Hanataro said
''Oh then you must be the transfers from Japan" she said in a low voice
''Y-yes ''
"Alright then what you need to do is, keep heading down in this direction then turn left on the first ally, it will be the first store to your right dear.''
''Oh th –thank you''
"You're welcome dear well id best leave''. The woman said as she pated Hanataro on the head and headed the opposite direction of them.
'' Well I guess we now know where to go '' Rukia said as she started walking.
0o0o0o0
The store wasn't very far from where they were, but it seemed to take forever to get there. At least for Ichigo and Toshiro. People couldn't stop pointing at them or commenting on their hair ,Delinquent were the most common names yelled to the two captains, sometimes people would yell at Renji if they caught a glimpse of his tribal tattoos.
"Man I thought that with this magic community we wouldn't stand out as much, but I guess I was wrong" Ichigo said as he touched the side of his head.
"Were here'' Yuzu said as she quickly walked in with everybody else following. The bookstore was small or at least it appeared to be small due to books being stacked in every corner of the room and allowing very little space to walk around. The place that was clear of books was the small front desk.
''Hello? Were here to buy some books'' Karin called out loud. They waited for someone to come and help us but there seemd to be nobody.
''HEY anybody here" Ichigo yelled louder
''Yes yes im coming no need to rush me'' a young girl came out from behind the stack of books, she was slightly tall and very thin she had long blond hair cascading down her back and green eyes. She was an eye catch. As soon as she saw the group she smiled.
''The owner of the shop isn't here today so how can I help you today'' she directed her words at ichigo as she eyed him up and down. Ichigo didn't noticed it but Rukia was well aware of how the girl was looking at Her friend. As if he was some eye candy. And she dint like it. Not one bit.
''We need all these books'' Ichigo -who was closest to the girl- said as he took his letter and handed it to the girl. ''I can get you more than books '' she said giving Ichigo a flirty smile. As soon as she saw the list her jaw dropped.
"You need all these books?!"
"Yes" Rukia said as she too took out her letter and handed it to her as she stepped in front of Ichigo ''we all do '' she said as everyone took out their letters and handed them to the girl.
''Are you all new to Hogwatrs?"
"Yes we are'' Rukia answered in her sweet voice. Ichigo only rolled his eyes.Leave it to Rukia to put on her school girl act.He tought
''Alright, might as well make yourselves comfy it will take a while for me to get all of them she said as she looked at all the letters. She was mumbling to herself as she counted how many books of each she would need to take out.
''Ok I'll be back''. She said as she headed to the back.
2 hour later
''Oh man I can't believe were carrying all these books back to our room'' Renji said as he was struggling not to fall.
''Why are you complaining I'm the one with more books" Ichigo said from behind a really big pile of books. Indeed, Ichigo was carrying the most books. Not only was he carrying his books he was carrying most of Yuzu's books and all of Rukias books as well.
''Come on Ichigo I want to get back to the hotel before night fall'' Rukia said as she tugged at his shirt leading him around since he could not see a thing in front of him.
"Oi! Don't pull so hard I can't see where I'm headiiiing'' thump, thump, thump, Ichigo came crashing down and all the books ended up being sprawled everywhere. People around them snickered.
''Ichigo you Baka watch where you're going!" Rukia complained from the ground as she too had fallen when Ichigo tripped.
"Me, I couldn't even see where I was going! You're the one that was pulling me and besides I'm carrying your books and Yuzus''
''I can carry my books Ichi-nii''
''No that's fine Yuzu'' Ichigo said as he stood up and started collecting all the books.'' Hey guys you can head on well catch up" he said to his friends
''Allright'' Toshiro said as he lead the group back to the hotel
Ichigo quickly picked up all the books and headed to the hotel with rukia leading the way. He knew he should get a good night sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
Gin had been reading in his room when he felt Urahar return. He got up and opend the door, and waited.
/well hello captain Ichimaru/ Urahara greeted as soon as he saw who was waiting for him outside his door.
/Ichigo and the rest of his group arrived about 3 hours ago/ Gin informed Urahara
''Ah so they did, did they''
''Yes and they said that you had abandoned them and they wanted to know were you were hidding''
''and what did you tell them?''
''I told them that i had seen you run in here and that after that you had looked yourself in you room with Yoruichi after that they didnt ask any more questions after they left I informed Yoruichi and she aggreed to go along with it and satay hidden untill you returned''
''Ah i must remember to get you somthing as a thank you gift, perhaps a long day with Rangiku'' The shoop keeper said as started to walk away. He stoped when he felt Gins hand on his elbow
''Where did you really go?'' he demanded in a low voice
''Wouldn't you like to know'' Urahara said as he steped away from Gin and continued to his room. Gin only stared at his back.
''Dont worry he'll tell us everithing when he thinks it to be nessesary'' Gin looked down at Yoruichi and could not help but agree with her.
