Chapter 3
Ichigo entered the training grounds to take his exam. The judges are Sosuke Aizen; captain of Squad 5, Byakuya Kuchiki; captain of Squad 6, husband of Hisana, and the head of the Kuchiki Clan, Genryƫsai Shigekuni Yamamoto; Captain of Squad 1 and one of the oldest captains in the history of Soul Society, Kenpachi Zaraki; Captain of Squad 11 and the brute of all Shinigami, Soi Fon; Captain of Squad 2 and the leader of the Stealth Force, and Gin Ichimaru; Captain of Squad 3.
Ichigo was surprised when he saw Aizen sitting there next to Ichimaru. He forced himself to control his Spiritual Pressure from rising and from going over there trying to kill Aizen bare-handed.
"Ichigo. Are you ready for your exam?" Yamamoto asked.
"Yes sir," Ichigo answered.
"Very well. We may begin," Yamamoto said.
"What made you decide to become a member of the Gotei 13?" Soi Fon asked.
"I had nowhere else to go. I had to survive on my own in Inuzuri; the 78th District of the Rukongai," Ichigo answered.
The judges wrote a high mark on Ichigo's score sheet.
"The next test is the Kido test. Perform a Kido spell on the target," Byakuya asked.
"Alright. Hado #73 Soren Sokatsui," Ichigo chanted bringing a blue lightning bolt destroying the target completely.
"Impressive," Byakuya said as the other captains putting another high mark on the score sheet.
"Name three Kido spells that Shinigami use," Soi Fon asked.
"Soren Sokatsui, Hurohitsugi, and Senju Koten Taiho," Ichigo answered as they put a third straight high mark on his score sheet.
"The next test will demonstrate on your sword skills. There are practice swords on the rack, and you will have an opponent to fight against. Later on, you will get your personal Zanpakuto during your academy years," Yamamoto said.
Ichigo nodded and went over to the rack and grabbed one. He went back to the middle of the training grounds to wait for his opponent to show up.
"You may come in Chojiro Sasakibe," Yamamoto said.
Chojiro Sasakibe; lieutenant of Squad 1 and the most loyal Shinigami in the existence of the Gotei 13, walked in and grabbed a wooden sword.
"The both of you will fight until someone is poked by the sword or their sword snaps in half," Kenpachi said.
Ichigo and Chojiro nodded got into a fighting stance getting ready to fight.
"Begin!" Yamamoto shouted as Ichigo and Chojiro began charging towards each other. Once they started swinging their swords, Ichigo snapped Chojiro's sword cleaned off leaving no trace of a splinter surprising the judges.
"I could use this kid to take over the Soul Society," Aizen thought.
"Ichigo, you have passed your exam with flying colors which means you will be heading to the advanced class," Yamamoto said.
"Thank you," Ichigo said as he left towards the auditorium again and sat next to Rukia again.
"Rukia Kuchiki you are next," the instructor said as Rukia got up and went to the training grounds to begin her exam.
Around thirty minutes later, Rukia came back to the auditorium smiling bigger than ever. She sat back in between Ichigo and Renji.
"Here's the list for who is going to the advance class and who's not going," the instructor said as he pinned the lists on the bulletin board.
Everyone got up except for Ichigo and Rukia; already know which class they are going to. As everyone got to look to see which class they will be heading to, Ichigo and Rukia decided to talk about stuff the others shouldn't know.
"Let me guess, you are going to advance class," Ichigo said.
"Yes, I am, what about you?" Rukia replied.
"Same here. Since we didn't have time to date back in our time. Let's date in this timeline," Ichigo said.
"That is a good idea Ichigo. I would love to do that since we couldn't date in our time cause of that bastard Aizen," Rukia replied.
Once everyone that got up sat back down in their seats, a messenger came up to the instructor and gave him a very important letter pertaining to Ichigo and Rukia.
"Listen up. Ichigo and Rukia, you are being summoned to Byakuya Kuchiki's manor immediately. A security guard is here to escort you to the manor," the instructor announced.
Ichigo and Rukia got up and followed the security guard to the manor. They reached the Kuchiki Manor, saying it's a huge mansion is an understatement. The guard dropped them off and one of the servants escorted them to Byakuya and his wife, Hisana. They arrived in the garden where Byakuya and Hisana are at.
"Here they are sir," the servant said as he walked away.
"You must be Rukia and Ichigo," Byakuya said.
"Yes, we are Mr. Kuchiki," Ichigo said trying to be polite without breaking cover.
"Rukia there's something I need to tell you. This is my wife, Hisana Kuchiki, from the stories that she has told me over the years that we have been married. She is your sister, when you two first came here, she abandoned you thinking that she can't take care of you or herself at the same time. You are a part of the Kuchiki family considering that I'm married to your sister. You have the benefits of a Kuchiki, but the Kuchiki family won't force you to marry someone that you don't love," Byakuya said.
"Thank you," Rukia said.
"As for the both of you, when you graduate the academy, you be immediately in my squad. Ichigo, you will be my lieutenant since my current lieutenant will retire from his position after the graduation. As for you Rukia, you will fill the empty 3rd seat," Byakuya informed them.
"Thank you, sir," Ichigo said bowing to him.
"Thank you Nii-sama," Rukia said bowing to him as well.
"It's nice to meet you Hisana," Ichigo said.
"It's my pleasure Ichigo," Hisana replied starting to cough.
"Are you alright Nee-san?" Rukia asked worried
"No, I'm not. I'm sick and incurable," Hisana said and Ichigo just remembered something.
"I have something that will cure you," Ichigo informed her handing the medicine to Hisana.
"What is this?" Hisana asked.
"I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know that it's a medicine that will cure your rare disease," Ichigo answered.
"How is this possible?" Byakuya asked.
"It's possible because we are from the future," Rukia answered.
"Now that's impossible," Byakuya said.
"Yes, it is possible. Let me prove it," Ichigo replied taking out a device that Urahara created that records battles that Ichigo and Rukia were in.
As Byakuya and Hisana watched the battles Ichigo and Rukia were in, Ichigo and Rukia were holding hands while raising their Reiatsu without meaning to. Byakuya sensed this and turned off the device and they suppressed their Reiatsu.
"We believe you, but what I don't get is why are you fighting against Aizen?" Byakuya asked.
"In our time, he betrayed the Soul Society and going to take over the position of the Spirit King. He had Rukia to be executed in order for him to get the Hogyoku but I ruined his execution plan, but he got the Hogyoku from inside Rukia's body," Ichigo answered.
"I see. You two are here to stop Aizen in this time so you both have a peaceful future," Byakuya said.
"Yes sir," Ichigo said.
"We have to get back to the academy," Rukia said.
"It's nice to chat with you two and don't tell no one on what we discussed about," Ichigo said warning them.
They said goodbye as they walk back to the academy.
