Ginjo considered himself a calm and cool-headed individual; with all the things he's seen, heard, and disturbing events he's been present for. He didn't anything could truly surprise him.

Knowing he's dead, he was aware of his fate in the afterlife, he'd either end up going to hell, or the soul society...

But considering the things he's done, he knew better than to think they would simply pardon him.

He knew how their "justice" system worked; he knew all too well that those geezers in central 46 wouldn't simply let him walk scott free.

He's really seen it all.

From being on the receiving end of Riruka's temper tantrums, or having to listen to Giriko's exuberant rants about time. Or even catching Jacky without her boots

It was not a very pretty sight...

So he didn't think he could be weirded out by anything either. Just simply raising a brow and thinking 'well, that was weird,' and moving on.

But this was just sickening.

Although he reached the best case scenario and landed himself in the soul society. He was trapped in a body that wasn't his, one that felt completely alien to him, but felt just as familiar. It was very uncanny situation.

Under different circumstances he might have found the situation amusing, however, this situation was anything but funny.

Especially, if he was in the position of a soul reaper captain.

This might as well be Hell...


Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, seventh holder of the title Kenpachi, and captain of the 11th division; found himself falling off his bed with a bang on the smooth wooden floor.

Groaning in annoyance, Kuruyashiki sat up, his left hand scratching his wild patch of chest hair, and his right massaging the temples on his forehead. Clicking his tongue in distaste at being awoken in such a manner, he let out a small yawn. It was about time to wake up. The night at the bar with the 11th was definitely more wild than usual. With the old head captain geezer always on his back about getting his paperwork done, he definitely drank alot more, but he would regularly procrastinate a bit, It usually resolves itself anyway. Right? (It doesn't)

And then he suddenly recalled something.

'As one of the captains of the Gotei 13, such an repeated offense will not go unpunished. If this is to occur once more, I will personally discipline you myself.' -Geezer Yama

You would think he would pay more attention when being threatened, but honestly all he could do was nod his head and daydream. You'd be surprised how often he'd gotten away with pretending to know what someone is talking about and simply nodding.

Kuruyashiki didn't consider himself an idiot by any means, he took the threat seriously after Kyoroku consulted him about it after noticing he was lost in thought. He even offered to do his paperwork for him which honestly touched his heart considering how lazy he was. He refused of course, if someone like Kyoraku was willing to do his work, were things that bad?

This isn't good.

While he was resigned to his fate of a night full of paperwork, he thought one drink at his favorite bar wouldn't hurt... yeah, big mistake.

Most of his boys in the 11th were present at the bar, while he only planned to get a small drink and leave, he found himself grounded to his seat. He had to show them who's boss when he was in the bar.

While Kuruyashiki considered himself a humble individual, knowing pride can lead to the downfall to even the greatest warriors. But, In the bar, it was a different sto-!"

But before he could even finish the thought; a barrage of foreign memories entered his mind, an excruciating pain accompanying alongside it.

A flash-back of an untimely death at the hands of a boy named Ichigo and a segment of the dying thoughts of a man named Ginjo making itself to the forefront of his memories.

'Ichigo...our order...be reversed... ended like... have been...

"Damn it!"

He lost control.

A burst of spiritual pressure made itself prominently known throughout the 11th's division quarters and also most likely throughout all of the Seireitei.

Trying his best to reel it back in, Kuruyashiki couldn't help but grunt, 'this definitely isn't just a bad hangover, he thought wryly. Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead at the laboring concentration.

Two spiritual signatures that were all too familiar to him began closing in on his location, Kyoraku and Jushiro. But for some odd reason, he felt a strong animosity towards the 13th division's captain. Strange

And he fell back into unconsciousness once more.


Hours had passed since captain Kuruyashiki's outburst.

As a result, many within the 11th ended up injured. Fortunately, it wasn't anything that she couldn't tend to.

Unohana couldn't help but wonder what exactly had caused such a reaction from the captain...

After an analysis, she found out it didn't have any relation involving his body, so the culprit most likely something to do with his psyche which in turn caused his lack of control over his spiritual pressure.

Glancing down at Kuruyashiki, she knew all she could do was wait for answers.

'Kuruyashiki, the seventh Kenpachi... just what has caused you to lose control of your spiritual pressure.'

While no longer holding the title of Kenpachi, Unohana still held a great interest in the line of successors, Kuruyashiki being no exception considering his hold of the title for quite some time. Although, she still held on to her fascination of the young boy that she fought like what felt so long ago.

As her gaze her gaze lingered on the 11th division captain, for a second, her gaze turned cold and returned to her former persona as Yachiru Unohana.

"Captain, we have visitors."

As the door creaked open, captain Shunsui and Ukitake made their entrance.

"Pardon the sudden visit captain, we sensed an immense spike in spiritual pressure coming from captain Kuruyashiki. We were hoping to hear a report on his status."


Not not the most long chapter and significant chapter either, but I needed to get it out of the way as soon as possible, I hope you enjoyed.

I really don't have a schedule on uploading, so until I do, just keep an eye out.
