That night after Takeshi returns to seireitei from the Human World, Takeshi Fuma is seen lying down on his futon wearing his shihakusho without his kimono staring at the ceiling. Within the 8th Division, Takeshi thinks about his time in the Human World. Even though it was short lived, Takeshi smiles at the fun times he had during that short period of time.

"Whew, that was the time of my life, though I hope nothing bad happened to Rukia, that brother of hers is bad news."

Takeshi smiled and placed his hands behind his head on his futon, staring at the ceiling with his azure eyes.

"That Ichigo is a nice guy, I know that Rukia-san and he will get along just fine."

After that last quote, there was a silent pause coming from Takeshi, until he lets out a burst of laughter after a weird thought.

"HAHAHA! That's impossible, but then again, it be great to see that happen. Ichigo and Rukia-san are nice people, but I doubt it that would happen, HAHAHA...(sigh) It's pretty late, maybe I should..."Takeshi then slowly closes his eyes until the night takes him.

As Takeshi mind was consumed in a peaceful dark illusion, everything around him starts to roll back and Takeshi was taken back a few years ago when Takeshi was still young. Takeshi was taken back to a dojo in seireitei with a young boy and girl fighting each other. They both we're probably about 10 years old, judging by their looks. The boy had azure eyes, black spiky hair, and light brown skin.

"Well, doesn't this seem familiar." Takeshi smiled with his azure eyes.

Takeshi was standing next to a dark skin lady with black hair. She had her eyes fixed on the two youngsters.

"Your looking as young as ever Yoruichi-san." Takeshi giggled. Then he paid attention to the little ones sparing with a smile on his face.

"I'm impressed Takeshi, you improve well." The young girl grinned after blocking a punch from the boy.

"I'd say the same thing Suifeng but-" Takeshi then quickly shunpos behind/above Suifeng getting ready to do a drop kick "I think you just got slower."

Before Takeshi could even land the attack, Suifeng uses a shunpo in front of Takeshi and kicks him on the ribs. The impact broke Takeshi's stance and gave him a tight look on his face. Then Takeshi fell to the ground and Suifeng lightly landed on her feet behind Takeshi's head with her arms folded on her chest.

"Ohh, I remember those bruises." Takeshi said rubbing his ribs with the same face that young Takeshi had.

"Like I said Takeshi 'I was taught by the best'." Suifeng said with pride.

Yoruichi walked up to her student and pats her on the head.

"Well done Suifeng." Yoruichi smiled.

"Thanks!" Suifeng said, returning a smile to her mentor.

"You alright Takeshi? That must've been pretty painful." Yoruichi reached out her hand to the young boy.

"Should I bring you to the 4th Division?"

Takeshi slowly stood up and smiled at his mentor.

"No thank you." Takeshi smiled.

"But it's late and I promise to meet up with Unohana ka-san right now." Takeshi smiled with his young azure eyes and left outside.

"Ok Takeshi, take care of yourself, and thanks for your time." Yoruichi smiled

As soon Takeshi left, he slowly walks to a garden somewhere in the seireitei. The filed was full of sakura trees and greenery. The spring time makes the atmosphere peaceful along with the sakura flowers slowly falling to the ground. Takeshi followed a trail to an open with a short hill with a lonely sakura tree on it. Takeshi walks up to the tree and lies down, sitting up on the tree rubbing his side.

"Damn, that hurts." Takeshi said rubbing his ribs.

"AHH, is somebody there!?" A voice said that startled Takeshi

The voice made Takeshi jump up and he moved to his fighting stance (Northern Shaolin), getting ready in case the voice would attack him.

"Who's there?" Takeshi demanded.

A small girl that looked his age slowly came out behind the tree with her hands up in the air. She was wearing a shihakusho like Takeshi. She had long black silky hair that reached to the middle of her spine. The color of her eyes were the color of smooth lavender. She was tall up to Takeshi's neck and her skin was rather quite pale, but the skin patched the color of her eyes that made her look even more beautiful.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude on you. I was just sleeping under the tree until I heard a voice." The girl shivered.

"What's your name?" Takeshi said, keeping his body still in his fighting pose.

"U-Um…Ina Yasha." She said with her hands still up. As she answered, it looked like she about to cry.

Takeshi slowly lowered his arms and looked at the girl with his azure eyes.

"Sorry about that-" suddenly Takeshi fell to his knees and covered his rib.

"Are you ok?" Ina ran over to the strange boy and sat in front of him.

"I-I'm alright." Takeshi slowly stood up, only to fall to his knees and hands.

"Let me help."

Ina grabbed Takeshi by the arms and slowly helped him up. Ina supported him with her weight and Takeshi limped over to the tree. Ina had Takeshi sit up on the tree trunk and felt his right side.

"What are you doing!?" Takeshi said, trying to push the girls hand away which made Takeshi blush a little.

"I'm trying to se what's the problem…"

Takeshi still felt uneasy having a girl touch him, but Ina didn't seem bothered by it. Then once Ina felt a rib with her working hand, Takeshi twitched his body a little.

"A broken rib?"

"Is it bad?"

Ina places her off hand on his rib and her hand began glowing a light lavender light. Ina took a deep breath and closed her eyes, focusing on the bone. After 5 seconds, she returned her hand and smiled at Takeshi.

"All done."

Takeshi slowly stood up, waiting to see if the pain was really gone.

"It-it's gone but how!?"

"Well, it's a kido I learned from Jushiro Ukitake."

"...Thanks." Takeshi smiled at Ina.

"Your welcome." Ina smiled back.

"My name's Takeshi Fuma."

"That's an interesting name." Ina smiled.

" Thanks." Takeshi viewed her uniform that was similar to his.

"Are you a shinigami too Ina-san?"

"Kind of, both of my parents are shinigamis. What about you?"

"Well, you could say I'm a little bit of a shinigami. So, you want to got to the rukongai district?"

"Sure!"

Ina grabbed Takeshi's hand and they ran off. Takeshi was standing next to them the whole time since the younger Takeshi met Ina. Takeshi smiled as he wached his younger self and Ina run off till they disappeared in the sakura blossoms. Takeshi's world slowly got consumed in fog until Takeshi woke up back inside his room by the sound of voices, stomps, and the ringing of the seireitei bell.

"WHERE BEING INVADED BY RYOKAS!!"
