A/N: This chapter will begin a recurring joke involving Haruhi, Mikuru and another random character who will change each time the joke is done.

Chapter 5: The First Fight

There was a very important Captain meeting in the Soul Society. Since the end of the Winter War there weren't many changes, in fact the only two changes were additions by which there two new captains filling the former captain's positions.

Well there were technically three new captains… the third was Ichigo, but he refused to take position until he was ready, so the spot remained open until then.

But the two new Captains was Renji who had since taken the job of the 3rd Division Captain.

While the 9th Division was lead by Karin Kurosaki, that's right Ichigo's sister had since risen the ranks to become a captain… she is considered a genius much like Captain Hitsugaya.

"Are you sure that's happening?" asked Captain Soifon in shock.

"I'm positive." Said Captain Kurotsuchi.

"We need someone to tell Ichigo Kurosaki and the Arrancar immediately." Said Captain Yamamoto.

"I volunteer to do both." Said Karin.

"Are you sure you can handle both?" asked Yamamoto.

"Actually it's easy, Tomorrow's the day Grimmjow shows up to spar with Ichigo." Said Karin.

"Well that's convenient." Laughed Captain Kyoraku.

The next day in the clubroom, Kyon arrived to find Mikuru making tea, not wearing a costume.

"Why aren't you wearing a costume?" asked Kyon.

"Miss Suzumiya told me that I didn't have to wear them unless it's a special event." Said Mikuru.

"Oh, I see." Said Kyon.

Haruhi entered the room looking bored.

"There's nothing to do." Whined Haruhi.

"Not my problem." Said Kyon.

Haruhi glared at Kyon.

"She's still Haruhi." Thought Kyon.

At the Kurosaki house, Rukia was working on the latest Berry Bunny book, Berry Bunny and the Curious Case of the Missing Button. She ignored the shouts that came from the yard as she often did. That's when the doorbell rang. She got up and

saw Karin in a Gigai.

"Hey, Rukia long time no see." Said Karin.

"What are you doing here?" asked Rukia.

"What I can't visit my brother and his wife unexpectedly?" asked Karin.

Rukia looked at her sister in law.

"Yeah… I'm here on Soul Society Business." Sighed Karin.

"If it was any other day, I wouldn't be so suspicious…" said Rukia.

The two went to the back yard to see Ichigo fighting Grimmjow.

"Hey!" yelled Karin getting their attention.

The two stopped and noticed Karin.

"Karin…. What are you doing here?" asked Ichigo.

"I'm here on business unfortunately." Said Karin.

Back in the clubroom, Yuki got up to look out the window for some reason while Kyon's cell phone rang, h checked it.

"Uh-oh." Said Kyon.

"What?" asked Haruhi.

"There's a Hollow nearby." Said Kyon.

Yuki was pointing out the window. In the field was some sort of Hollow, nothing was too clear about other than the mask.

"So that's a Hollow." Said Itsuki.

"All right!" yelled Haruhi, "It's time to fight that thing!"

"Uh…" said Kyon.

Let's break it down.

Kyon: Has yet to kill a Hollow.

Itsuki: Has yet to encounter a Hollow and is still unsure his powers will work.

Mikuru: Completely Powerless

Haruhi: Maybe the only one capable of fighting a Hollow

Yuki: ???

"Great… maybe we should have trained at Urahara's before now." Thought Kyon.

Meanwhile at the Kurosaki House, Karin was explaining the situation.

"The Juureichi is shifting." Said Karin taking out a map.

"So I take it's a good thing." Said Ichigo.

"It really depends on where it's heading." Said Karin, "It's not a good place."

"So it's somewhere in the Middle East." Said Ichigo.

"That would be a really bad place." Said Karin, "But no…"

She pointed to a map of the Tokyo Area, "It's really a small shift." She said, "It's moving from Tokyo to…"

She in then moved her finger, everyone's eyes widened.

"Here…" said Ichigo.

"That's right… slowly more and more Hollows are going to appear in this area." Said Karin.

"Oh man." Sighed Ichigo.

"I'll tell Nel as soon I can." Muttered Grimmjow, knowing this would effect the other leader greatly.

"We also need to keep an eye out as well." Said Karin.

"Hey… I know one of the problems of this shift is!" yelled Ichigo.

"So is it true?" asked Karin.

"What is?" asked Ichigo.

"That Kaien has finally undergone the training?" asked Karin.

"That's right." Said Ichigo.

"Actually it turns out everyone in his club is spiritually aware, including Haruhi Suzumiya who remembered her life as Orihime." Said Rukia.

Both Grimmjow and Karin smirked at that.

That's when there was a ringing sound, Rukia went to pick it up as it was a cell phone.

"Where is it?" asked Ichigo.

"North High." Answered Rukia.

Back the school, The S.O.S. Brigade got down to the for some bizarre reason empty field. They had gotten a closer look at it and saw it was a giant humanoid porcupine creature.

"So what's the plan?" asked Haruhi.

Kyon sighed as he took out the Pez dispenser. He popped it in his mouth and was separated from his body… which was moving on its own!

"Chappy take care of Mikuru." Said Kyon to his body.

"Right! Hop!" said Kyon's body possessed by something.

"Why is his body moving on it's own." Thought Mikuru.

"You forgot to explain artificial souls." Pointed out Haruhi.

"Yeah, yeah…" muttered Kyon.

Itsuki lifted his hand and saw that he was able to create a strange orange ball of light.

"So Mr. Urahara was right. I am able to use my powers against Hollows." Said Itsuki, "It's not at full strength but I guess that's all I need."

Itsuki threw the ball at the Hollow, which exploded on contact, the Hollow roared in pain, then launched its quills at Mikuru and Kyon's body.

Haruhi was able to summon, Baigon, Lily and Hinagiku to create a shield protecting both Mikuru and Kyon's body.

Yuki picked up one of the quills that fell to the ground and flung it back at the Hollow impaling it.

Kyon jumped into the air and sliced the Hollow in half, killing it.

"That was easy." Sighed Itsuki.

"It was a weak one." Said Kyon.

"Looks like we missed it." Came a voice.

Both Karin (who was out of her Gigai and in her uniform) and Grimmjow jumped out of seemingly nowhere.

"Grimmjow, Aunt Karin." Said Kyon surprised, "What are you doing here."

"It's my monthly spar with your dad." Muttered Grimmjow.

"Oh right, I assume he told you that I finally got my powers." Said Kyon.

Grimmjow rolled his eyes and muttered something about how this really couldn't be Ichigo's kid.

"I came to deliver Ichigo and Rukia some concerning news." Said Karin, "The Juureichi is moving here, and there are going to be more Hollow Attacks."

"Are you serious?" asked Haruhi.

"The Juureichi?" asked Itsuki.

"It's the place with the highest amount of Spiritual Energy in the living world. It has been known to change places. Unfortunately it's moving here." Sighed Karin.

Grimmjow noticed Mikuru, "So your Orihime's reincarnation." He said.

"No… I'm not… Haruhi is." Whimpered Mikuru.

Haruhi glared at Grimmjow… especially after all that time together, sure it was short but still…

"Sorry… sorry… it's just… that…" said Grimmjow, "Well I have to go, I still haven't finished my spar with Ichigo."

With that Grimmjow disappeared.

"All he had to do was look for the hairpins…" muttered Karin who had clearly noticed the hairpins.

"I can't believe he didn't notice the hair pins…" muttered Haruhi.

"But she looks like a lot like Orihime, it's no wonder why he mistook Miss Asahina for her reincarnation." Thought Kyon.

"You shouldn't say that out loud." Muttered Haruhi.

Karin checked a phone.

"I really have to get back to the Soul Society." Said Karin, "I was really hopping to see Masaki. Tell I said hi, okay Kaien."

"Sure, I'll give her the word." Said Kaien.

Karin drew her sword, stabbed the air causing a strange gateway to appear. She stepped though it, the gate way closed up and disappeared.

"Who were they?" asked Itsuki.

"The man was Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, one of the leaders of the Arrancar and the woman was my aunt." Explained Kyon.

"So Karin became a Soul Reaper and a Captain." Said Haruhi.

"She got promoted a few months ago." Said Kyon.

"Interesting." Said Haruhi.

"Kyon, your going to need to explain more about Soul Society and your family." Said Itsuki.

"And why your body is still alive." Said Mikuru pointing to Kyon's body who began to wave back at her.

"Told you it was important." Said Haruhi.

Back at the Kurosaki House… Rukia took a break from writing, she remember something that was often said.

"The Winter War will never be over, not until Aizen is dead."

"I just hope this isn't the start of another war…" she thought.

Elsewhere two mysterious figures met.

"Your quite an interesting Hollow." Said the first figure who clearly sounded male.

"Well… I was never a human." Replied the second which was a female.

"Tell me about your powers." Said the first mysterious figure.

"I take it you want to use me to start a brand new army of Arrancar." Said the second.

The first figure only chuckled evilly, whoever these were no good can come of it.

Next Time: Two new transfer students join the school, one is even in Kyon and Haruhi's class. One of them is a Soul Reaper that Haruhi remembers from Orihime's memories while the others is a girl who insists she not one. Meanwhile Hollow Attacks reveal something more sinister going on... and it involves figures from the past. What will happen? Find out next time!
