Hichigo: *Is bored* Heeeyyyy! Aren't you done with this thing?

Mask: Nope. If things keep going at the pace they're suppose to, then there should be atleast twenty chapters, probably more. BTW, I couldn't update for awhile 'cause my friggin' dinosaur computer was broken. *Pouts at moniter*

"Talking"

Thoughts

"Hollow/ Zanpakuto"

(Notices)

"... Are you sure that this is the place?" Toshiro couldn't help but ask. He did another quick survey of the area, hoping to see something other than the run-down warehouses, heaps of trash, and mountains rubble. Kira check ed directions once more, and nodded.

"Yes sir, the instructions specifically stated what we had to do, and I made sure to follow them to the point."

"If this is a joke, how about we all just go back and beat up Hat-and-Clogs guy?" Ichigo suggested. Everyone agreed, since it took ever ounce of concentration to stop Hichigo from running off. Actually, even with seven sets of careful eyes, the albino had managed to run off once.

He had destroyed a building, three cars, and had managed to reduce a concrete wall to rubble in two minutes. When the worried group found him, he made it evident that he had done all of that to chase a butterfly.

A very pretty butterfly, according to the albino. It took Ichigo, Kira, Shuuhei, Yumichika, Rangiku, and Emeral to stop Toshiro from decapatating Hichigo.

Back on topic. The group had somehow managed to make it to their 'destination' without anyone dying. Now, if only there was some way for them to know if they had wandered into the right place.

"Well, well. Looks like some Shinigami managed to find there way here." Everyone but Ichigo and Hichigo put their hand on the handle of their zanpakuto (Hichi would have, had he understood WTF was going on, and Ichi was just to lazy to be prepared for an attack).

"What do ya want?" Ichigo asked in a bored tone. A growl resounded throught the area before another voice started to speak.

"We want you idiots to leave before we have ta kill you!" This voice sounded more like a female compared to the other voice. Emeral, for no apparent reason, let his hand slide away from his zanpakuto's hilt, and turned towards the largest warehouse. As he started to walk towards it, Hichigo noticed the greenette and, being bored, decided to follow him.

Meanwhile, the two voices had started to fight. "What do you think you're doing, Hiyori? We're suppose ta be training them, not trying to murder 'em!"

"Oh, be quiet Shinji! It's not like they're going ta make any difference in the war! And besides, if they get to strong, then they'll kill Aizen instead of us getting our revenge!"

By then, the rest of the Shinigami noticed the absence of Emeral and Hichigo.

"Shit, where could Hichi have gone to this time?!" Ichigo groaned, clearly distressed by the abscence of his hollow.

"And Emy-chan's gone, too!" Rangiku pouted. A crash came from the largest warehouse at that point in time. The Soul Reapers shared a glance. A crash that loud could only be the work of two people.

"Oi, where the hell do ya think you're goin'?!" Hiyori, as the other voice called her, screamed.

""Sorry, but we're kinda busy at the moment!" Ichigo hollered back. The group was closing in on the largest warehouse.

Only to be stopped in thier trachs by a pissed-off looking blonde chick in a red track suit.

"Listen here!" The girl, whom the Death Gods identified as Hiyori, screamed, "If any of you take one step closer, I'll...!" She was cut by a different, male blonde.

"Now, now Hiyori. We promised Kisuke to train them. That means that we aren't allowed to kill them. Yet."

A red tick mark appeared above Ichigo's face. "What the hell do you mean by 'yet'?!" The strawberry demanded.

Another carsh was heard from inside the warehouse. Now, even Hiyori and Shinji, as they called one another, appeared worried. The two blonde strangers headed towards the warehouse, with the Shinigami following close behind.

What they saw was unexpected. Emeral was currently engaged in a game of poker with chick in a sailor outfit, and Hichigo was tossing a ball to a green-haired female in a white jumpsuit.

However, the albino and jumpsuit-chick were throwing the ball at about one-hundred miles per hour, and they had evidently forgotten to aim a few times, since there was a lamp and a vase laying, broken into several dozen pieces, on the floor.

"HICHIGO!" Ichigo shouted, angry at his hollow for running off again. The albino turned to look at his King, and, in that same instant, he threw the inflatiable sphere back at the green-haired girl.

The girl, instead of catching the poorly aimed toy, ducked, and the sphere flew towards the open doorway...

Just in time to hit a white-haired, well-muscled male wearing a tanktop and cargo pant in the face.

Hichigo, the green-haired girl, Shinji and Hiyori all burst out laughing. Emeral and the brunette in the skimpy sailor costume both looked up briefly, but they quickly went back to their card game.

Shuuhei, meanwhile, was able to put two and two together (what a mathamatician!) and figure out who the white-haired male was.

"Kensei Muguruma-taicho..." He said in shock, causing his fellow Soul Reapers to stare at him in question. Hiyori, Shinji, and the rest of the strangers in the room all turned to Shuuhei with a new-found wariness.

"How the hell," The white-haired male started angrily, "Do you fuckin' know my name?"
