A month after Aizen had been defeated, Shiro kept his promise he'd made to Ichigo.
He gave the orangette his black Mustang and got himself a white 2002 Pontiac Trans AM WS6.
Ichigo was really happy about the gift, but that didn't distract him from the plans he had.
Together with Shiro and the slayers he had thought up two kinds of organizations, that should be established on every Continent on the world and one extra for Japan.
Those two organizations should work hand in hand and make sure that the peace would never be disrupted again.

The first organization was a council of Vampires who would enforce laws for the Vampires and judge those that disobeyed them.
Also they would decide what would happen to those Vampires who lost their mind, those who everyone called ninny so far.

Shiro explained that there were three stages of that mind loss and so, together with the slayers they made up a new name.
It was S.I.N., that stood for the three stages a Vampire could undergo when he lost himself.

The Sleepers, Vampires who began to succumb to their need for blood and often lost themselves in a blood rush.
Those were the ones who often could be helped with some guidance of experienced Vampires.

The Insane, were those who were teetering on the thin border between still curable and completely lost.
Some of them got better, others were better off dead and therefor the Vampire council was needed to decide what should happen to those poor beings.

The Null, that were Vampires who were just shadows of their former beings, only searching continuously for food and attacking everything that came in their way.
Here the Vampire council also had to decide, to see if the Vampire really was a null and then pass judgment on it.

In every Vampire-council there was a leader, those leaders build the Great Council in which they exchanged new laws and problems that had to be solved.
Shiro would be Japans council leader and his group would make up the council.

The albino and his group traveled the world to gather Vampires on each continent to tell them of that plan and organize the other councils.
Kisuke, Renji and Shuuhei accompanied them on that journey, to gather the newly awakened slayers and train them, as well as build up the second organization.
On that journey the blonde slayer drew to the conclusion that the, until now suspected to be erased, slayers, didn't awake, because the cause of their death, namely the bite of a Vampire hindered it from happening.
That they woke their powers now happened, because, judging by the identical reports he got from everyone, they have been attacked by S.I.N.'s when they were alone and had to fight for their life.

As for the slayer organization, it was planned that each continent should have three slayers stationed there, and Japan two of them.
Those slayers would be the captains of the organization.

The name of it was V.A.S.T., the Vampire Activity Surveillance Task-force and they would watch over the Vampires and capture law breakers and S.I.N.'s and pass the judgment that the councils made on them.
V.A.S.T. of course needed more people than just the slayers for that, so they recruited open minded and capable humans.
In V.A.S.T. there also were leaders, those were Urahara in China, Renji in North America, Shuuhei in Africa, Ishida in Europe, Neliel in Australia and Ichigo for Japan.
For South America they found a capable young slayer with the name Lisa Yadomaru and they befriended with her really fast.
Those seven leaders build the international Squad that keep each other updated and help each other at all-embracing incidents.

In the span of five years those organizations settled and worked out several small kinks.
Not long after the fifth anniversary of the new system, Ichigo called for a Squad meeting in Karakura.

When all his old friend had finally arrived he didn't beat around the bush but got right to the topic.
"I called for you, because there's something troubling me. Now that all the Slayers came back at once, they might all be gone again in the interval of a few years, since we can't control the circle. It would not be beneficial if I were the only one to constantly remain and get you all back together and try to get you to believe me."
Kisuke rested his chin in the palm of his hand.
"You have a point, Yo what do you suggest we should do?"
Ichigo looked in the round and gathered all his courage, it was a lot that he would ask of them, he knew that.
"I want to change you. Though I don't know if it will work, we'll just have to try it on someone first."
"That's a lot you're asking."
Renji comments in a gruff tone.
"I know, but we already came this far. I hope you're able to jump over your shadows for that as well. I mean, it certainly isn't to your disadvantage when it works."
Ishida sighs and rises from his seat.
"Let's not waste any more time at arguing. You can try it on me."
Ichigo nods and stands up as well, he pulls Ishidas collar aside and apologizes before he bites him.
He takes just two little gulps of his friends blood, before he cuts his arm with his blade and lets the slayer drink from his blood.
First nothing happened, but suddenly the dark haired archer cries out in pain and moments later he stills.

Ichigo begins to worry when Ishida doesn't move after a whole minute, as a hand grabs his shirt in an iron grip and the dark haired growls out of his normal character at Ichigo with an even more uncharacteristically choice of words.
"Give me some fucking blood. I'm starving."
Ichigo chuckles shortly and hurries to get a whole bunch of blood bags, so that he's prepared for the rest when they accept to get changed.
Luckily, one after another lets the procedure be done.
Once they were all changed they stayed for a while in Japan to get accustomed to it before they headed back to their continents.

Ichigo had asked them to make a change in their operating, now that they were partially Vampires only they should take on the hunt on S.I.N.'s and only they should pass the execution sentence on Vampires.
For those executions, Ichigo gave everyone a weapon, a Katana.

When he gives Ishida his sword he smiles weakly at him, knowing that he will have the most trouble at adjusting to use that kind of weapon, but his friend just takes it with his trademark gesture.
"So now we're the executioners, eh?"
Renji says as he takes his Katana.
"You could call it like that. But at least I didn't ask you to sit around and do nothing but paperwork for the rest of your life. I understand that you can't change what you were until now, at least we put that to good use with that."

The orangette gave them another gift, that was meant to be placed in every V.A.S.T. headquarter.
As everyone had his parting gifts they returned to their places and gathered every member of the organization.

They explained that V.A.S.T. has a certain lifestyle from now on and that they had to always remember it and honor it, just like the Vampires had to live after their rules.
And just like those Vampires who broke the rules, those of the Task-force who neglected the conviction of it, would be judged.
After their speech, every head of V.A.S.T. revealed a silver plate with a verdict engraved in it, that hung over the front door of the headquarter, where everyone could read it when he headed out to a mission.

Ichigo had asked them to place it right there and the verdict was:

Lord, make me a tool of your peace.

That, I connect, where is dispute
That I tell the truth, where is mistake
That I wake up hope, where despair torments
That I light the light, where darkness reigns

Lord, let me seek

Not, that I am comforted, but that I comfort
Not, that I am understood, but that I understand

For

Who surrenders, receives
Who forgives, will be forgiven
And
Who dies, wakes up to eternal life

Chapter 34
End

The verdict, or prayer, isn't mine, I found it on the internet and it's only a part of it I used.
I don't know the original author, but I hope that he or she is is fine with it that i used it.

So now only the epilogue remains, it isn't very long but I thought it would be interesting to take a look at Ichi and Shiro after some years had passed.

Until then

See ya
Shiro Yue
