P.S. Uryu starts his Quincy training the next day, but Ichigo starts his when he gets rid of the Visoreds. So by the time he does start, Uryu already has his powers back. Okay? Okay? Good, okay. On to the chapter!

Ichigo was running as fast as he could. Why did Kon have to be on the other side of town? He shook his head to clear his thoughts. 'Doesn't matter right now.'

Ichigo was halfway there when he felt reiatsu that he could have sworn he felt before, but couldn't quite think of where. 'Brielle, Shiro, do you know who that is?' He asked.

'I think I felt that reiatsu before, but just like you I don't remember,' Brielle replied.

"How should I know if you two don't?" Shiro asked. "It could be someone we just bumped inta while we were in Soul Society."

'That's true, but why would they send someone who is as strong as a captain? Nothing happened so far,' Brielle pointed out.

'We'll just have to find out who it is when we get there,' Ichigo said, and then shunpo as fast as he could to where he felt Grand Fisher died. 'It's sad that whoever killed him is going to be hearing it from me; that Hollow was mine…' He growled mentally.

Ichigo found the spot that Grand Fisher, Kon, and whoever it was that killed the Hollow were, but none of them were there anymore. Brielle and Shiro come out of Ichigo's inner world. "I sense Kon going back home," The feather-winged dragon said.

"What about the other one?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't sense him," Shiro answered.

"Or smell him," Brielle added. "Whoever it was, they know how to cover their tracks."

"You think it's a he?" The orangette questioned.

"I don't smell any scent that is from a female. There were only males here."

"Do you think we know them?" Ichigo asked.

"If they know ta cover both scent and reiatsu, then it's possible," Shiro said.

The teen sighed. "Great, we just missed him too."

A voice from right behind them said, "Yeah, but you'll meet them in the near future." All three of them yelped and turned to glare at Kisuke.

"Darn it, Urahara! When did you get there?" Ichigo demanded.

"I've been here the whole time." The sandy-haired man replied. "I was just waiting for you to get here because there is something I want to talk to you about."

This confused the three siblings. 'What does he want to talk about?' They thought simultaneously. Ichigo then thought he could use this time to talk to the man about the Visoreds. "Alright, are we talking here, or at your shop?" He asked.

Kisuke flipped open his fan in front of his face and said, "At my shop. So come along." They all followed.


When they got there, they went into the back room that they use for meetings. They all sat down on cushions, and then Kisuke asked, "Tea?"

The siblings shrugged, "I guess," They said. Once tea was in front of them and they all took a sip, Ichigo asked, "Were you there to see who it was that killed Grand Fisher?"

Kisuke was taking a sip from his cup. "Hmm, I was, but I'm not telling you who it is." Ichigo was about to protest, but the gray-eyed man cut him off. "He asked me not to."

"So I do know him," The orange-haired teen said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Maybe…or maybe not~. Who knows~?" Ichigo glared at the man.

"You do know you just confirmed that we do, right?" Brielle asked.

"You're good," Kisuke muttered. "But I'm still not telling you who it is."

Ichigo and Brielle sighed, "Fine…"

Shiro turned to face his brother and sister. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're just gonna give up like that?!" He exclaimed. "I could make him tell us who it is! Heck, you could make him tell us, Brielle!" He shouted while pointing a clawed finger at the dragon-Hollow.

Brielle face-palmed. "I could, but he could lie about who it is. I would be none the wiser," She pointed out, flicking her tail to point at Urahara.

Shiro saw the Dark Dragon's logic, so he kept quiet.

Ichigo's eyes met gray ones. "What about the Visoreds? Could you tell me about them?" He asked.

Kisuke snapped his fan open. "That I can~!" He said in a sing-song voice. "The Visoreds were Shinigami that gained Hollow power thanks to Aizen experimenting on them. There are eight of them in total. Four of them were captains while the rest were vice-captains. Which one did you meet?" He asked.

"Shinji Hirako," Ichigo answered.

"He's their leader. He was also captain of the 5th before Aizen. As a matter of fact, Aizen was his vice-captain before he betrayed them." Kisuke informed. "Anyway, back on topic. Central 46 thought I was the one who experimented on them since they were found in my labs, but I was trying to help them by turning them back to normal. As you could have guessed already, I failed." He took a sip of his tea before continuing. "Both me and Tessai were put on trial. I say that, but they already decided on what to do. My powers where to be sealed, and then banish me to the living world, and for Tessai, imprisonment. Luckily Yoruichi showed up just in time and got all of us out."

"When you say all, you mean the Visoreds too?" Brielle asked.

"Yes." He took another sip. "I made gigais for all of us and left for the World of the Living. The Visoreds stayed with me for a little while to control their Hollows, and then find their new home. The rest is history," Kisuke finished.

Ichigo, Brielle, and Shiro where silent for a bit, letting all that they heard to sink in. Once the information processed, Ichigo said, "Shinji said I was one of them, but I don't think that's true since I also have Quincy powers."

"Not only that but he said that I was tryin' to kill my King. I'll kill him first if I'm killin' anyone!" Shiro shouted.

"Calm down, Shiro. I'll think of something to get them off our tails," Brielle said.

"I'm sure you could," Kisuke said, tapping his fan on her wing; she tried to grab his wrist with her tail so she could hold the fan in place and burn it, but he was faster than she thought. "And you would be right, Ichigo. You're not a Visored. You're a new breed entirely," He said while fanning himself.

"Okay, then what am I?" The orangette asked.

"It took me a while to come up with a name," he snapped his fan shut and pointed it at him, "But I thought up just the right one."

"Just tell us already!" Shiro was starting to get impatient, but so were Ichigo and Brielle.

"The name I came up with is: Chuku shi no Monku. It means monk of a hollowed death."

"Fitting," Brielle said impressed.

"A little long. How come Visored is shorter?" Ichigo asked.

"Well that just means masked army," Kisuke explained. "The shorter the meaning, the shorter the name."

Ichigo sighed, "I could live with it. It's just going to take a while to remember. But how did this happen?"

"Well, it's mostly Aizen's fault, but that's all I can really say. It's not my place," Kisuke explained.

"Whose place is it then?" Ichigo asked

"…You'll find out," The blond man giggled.

The hybrid couldn't believe that he's not even going to get a hint as to who it is. He looks at the time to see that he should have been in bed two hours ago. "Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Yes, that was all." Ichigo got up to leave. "Oh, one more thing Ichigo." He turned to face the shopkeeper. "Be careful; Aizen is going to make his move soon."

"Yeah, I know. I'm guessing that it was Aizen's fault that Grand Fisher was here."

"It was."

"I'll keep my eyes peeled. Thanks for the talk and the tea." After that Ichigo bowed and left the shop, planning to go home and sleep.

"I'm still killing Kon." Ichigo almost forgot that Kon signed his death warrant with Brielle.

That's better. I noticed that I spelled Visored wrong in the last chapter, so I corrected myself in this one. This does have a lot of talking in it though, but at last Ichigo knows the name of what he is. How does Kubo come up with names like Visored or Arrancar? I tried look up the meaning, but I'm sure you guys saw what happens when you do that on Google translate.

Ichi: Kubo may have just made words up, like you do sometimes.

Shiro: Why didn't you do that?

Enj/Bri: I needed a Japanese name for it, but I don't know Japanese. :( The words I came up with were from English words.

Ichi&Shiro: Point taken.

Ichi: You still killing Kon?

Enj/Bri: Yes, it's in the next chapter.

Shiro: I hear a "but" in there.

Enj/Bri: You'd be right. I plan to update "It Just Keeps Getting Worse" next week instead of this one.

Ichi: So you're going to do what you did when you first started this fanfic.

Enj/Bri: Yup! :)

Shiro: Why though? :(

Enj/Bri: I haven't updated in a while and it's not working out like this, so I'm making it easier on myself.

Ichi&Shiro: I see...

Enj/Bri: Please review! ^-^
