Soul Society? F Yeah!
Delaney's POV
The next day we all met at Urahara's shop. We were led us underground to a huge cavern thing.
"Woaaahhh..." I stared at the huge space, my eyes wide.
"Thanks for coming everyone." Urahara said. "Now, I have prepared a special Senkaimon for Delaney and Gabby. The rest of you may go through the regular way."
"We'll go with Delaney and Gabby." Emma said. Urahara nodded and turned to Renji.
"Alright," Renji said and took out his Zanpakuto. He thrust it into the air, and half of it disappeared.
"Unlock." He said. He turned it and the air swirled around it. Suddenly a door appeared with another round door behind it. They both opened and a bunch of black butterflies flew out.
"Good luck everyone." Urahara said, and they all dashed inside.
"What about us?" Gabby asked.
"For you, we have to use a Reishihenkanki." Urahara explained, and gestured to a big rectangular portal-type-thingy. "It allows humans to go tho the Soul Society in their present form."
"Wait." I said. "Why do we have to go? It's not like we can do anything."
"You can't just stay here, though." Emma said. "Plus, the Soul Society will be fun!"
"Yeah." Jackie agreed. "Besides, considering the amount of Reishi you two have, what if Don Kanonji finds you?" I didn't know who that was, but by the looks on their faces, I really didn't want to meet him.
"Very well," Urahara said, "I wish good luck to all of you. The invasion will start soon so please hurry." He knelt down next to the Senkaimon and spoke an incantation. A light came from inside it and filled up the empty space. He motioned for us to go, and we all ran in.
We came out into a long, dark passage way and started running. That place was just plain creepy. It was really dark and spooky and... like... purple!
"At least it looks like they restrained the restrictive current." Jackie said.
"What's the restrictive current?" I asked.
"Basically," Emma said, "the walls are usually moving and all goopy. They try to trap you and you'd be stuck here forever."
My eyes went wide and I suddenly felt scarred.
"B-but they're not anymore, right?" Gabby asked.
"No." Jackie said.
Suddenly we saw a light at the end of the tunnel. It started growing and turned into a doorway shape. We stepped out into the bright sunlight and saw everyone else waiting for us.
"Ah, there they are!" Orihime said.
"Hey!" Jackie called.
"The invasion shouldn't start for another hour or so." Ichigo said. "What should we do?"
"I wanted to visit Yachiru." Orihime said.
"We all need to get back to our squads before the fighting starts." Ikkaku said.
"I need to report to my captain." Rukia said. "And my brother."
"I'll come with you." Renji said.
"What should we do?" Jackie asked Emma.
"We'll go with Rukia and Renji!" Emma said quickly. Then she whispered to Jackie, "That way we can visit both Byakuya and Ukitake."
"Oh, good idea." Jackie replied.
"What about me and Gabby?" I asked.
"How about you go with Orihime. You'll have a lot of fun with Yachiru." Emma said.
"Alright." Gabby said, and everyone split up.
Emma's POV
Our first stop was Byakuya. The squad 6 barracks had all those pretty trees and naturey stuff in the garden thing you always see outside of Byakuya's office. As we approached the office, Jackie and I got really anxious. When the door opened, we saw he was doing paperwork, as usual.
"Excuse me-" Renji started.
"EZ BYAKUYA!" Jackie screamed.
"OMGZ!" I screamed. We would've glomped him, but Rukia held us back.
Byakuya's face remained expressionless and he turned back to Renji.
"I LOVE YOU BYA-KUN!" I screamed. Rukia covered my mouth and dragged us outside.
She shut the door and turned to us. We remained silent until Renji opened the door again. We tried to run back in, but Rukia gave us a sharp "Stay!" and we stopped. We managed to peek around the door for a few seconds and bask in the glorieness of the squad 6 captain until Renji pulled us back.
C'mon!~" Jackie whined.
"Just for a bit! We won't bother him!"
"Yeah right." Renji said as Rukia walked out.
"Now I just have to report to my captain." She said.
"Yay Ukitake!" Jackie said.
"Let's get this over with." Renji sighed.
We found Ukitake drinking tea with Shunsui by the pond in the squad 13 barracks. Naturally, the first thing we did was go all fangirl over them.
"UKITAKE AND SHUNSUI!" I screamed.
"OH MY GOD YOU TWO ARE AWESOME!" Jackie screamed.
"Oh... um..." Ukitake said. "Thank you..."
"Sorry about them, sir." Rukia said quickly. "They're really big fans of yours."
"So I gathered." Shunsui said, setting down his cup.
"Why, hello, Rukia." Ukitake said. "It's nice to see you."
"Likewise." Rukia said back. "We're here to help with the upcoming invasion."
"Oh, good. We can use all the help we can get."
"Would you like some tea?" Shunsui asked.
"YES!" Jackie and I said.
Shunsui poured us some tea and motioned for us to sit down. Rukia and Renji did as well.
"What are your names?" Ukitake asked Jackie and me.
"I-I'm Emma." I said.
"And I'm Jackie." Jackie said.
"Ah. Nice to meet you." He said. "What squad are you from?"
"Um..." We looked at each other. Luckily, Nanao ran over.
"Captain!" Nanao called.
"Ah, hello my lovely Nanao-chan~. Come to join us?" Shunsui asked.
Nanao sighed, "No, sir. But you must hurry, the invasion's about to-"
Just as she said that, there was a loud noise as a huge Garganta opened up in the sky.
Gabby's POV
We followed Orihime, Yumichika, and Ikkaku to the squad 11 barracks.
"So who's Yachiru?" Delaney asked.
"She's the lieutenant of squad 11." Orihime answered.
"Ah. Emma said I'll have a lot of fun with her." Delaney said.
"Tch." Ikkaku said. "Yeah right. She's a little devil."
"You shouldn't say that about her." Yumichika said. "She could be right behind us for all we know-"
Just as he said that, a small pink and black blur flew through the air and latched on to Ikkaku's head.
"Baldy! You're back!" It was a little girl with bright pink hair.
"Ya-Yachiru!" Orihime exclaimed.
"Ah! Hey, Jiggles! Hey, Feather-face!" Yachiru said, waving. Then she saw us. "Eh? Who're you?"
"I'm Gabby, and this is Delaney." I said. "You're Yachiru, right?"
She nodded. "C'mon! Kenny said everyone has to come quick!" she said and ran off.
"Wait!" Orihime called after her. Ikkaku and Yumichika looked at each other, worried.
The 11th squad barracks had a bunch of tough scary looking men around in it. Emma had warned me that this squad was mainly about fighting, so I guess that's to be expected.
"Captain Zaraki?" Yumichika called as we entered a room. The man standing in the room was the biggest man I had ever seen. He was tall, like 7 feet, and muscular. He had spiked hair with bells on the ends and an eye patch. Yachiru perched on his shoulder.
"Hm?" Zaraki turned to us. "So you're finally here. Took you long enough. Anyway, the invasion should start any minute, you guys ready?"
Ikkaku and Yumichika nodded.
"Good. Who are they?" He pointed at us.
Delaney was too frightened by the man to do anything so I said, "I'm Gabby and this is Delaney. We're from the world of the living."
"Then why the hell are you here?" He asked. But before we could answer, there was a loud noise outside. I looked out the window and saw the sky split and a giant hole opened up.
"It's started!" Ikkaku said.
"Great, I've been looking forward to the fighting." Zaraki said.
