Chapter 9: Preparations for the New War

Kyon and Haruhi got to the house a few minutes later than everyone else. They noticed two things. Masaki who looked like she was crying was sitting at the table… and Ichigo was washing his face as he had marker drawing all over his face (probably Kon's doing.)

"Let me guess Masaki used that card?" asked Kyon.

"Yeah…" said Ichigo finished washing his face, "She mentioned that Karin was younger than her and she was fighting Hollows"

Kyon, Haruhi and Ichigo.

The large group of people stat in silence for a very long time.

"Isn't anyone going to say something… anything…" said Yachiru.

"I can't believe you hid a daughter from everyone." Said Ichigo.

"I didn't hide it from everyone I told a few people." Said Nel, "I told Grimmjow, Pesche, Dondochakka and Yamamoto"

"You told Yamamoto?" asked Ichigo.

"Yes, I knew that even though I wanted to keep her a secret. I needed to tell him." Said Nel.

"Mom… I'm right here… don't talk like I'm not here…" muttered Tsuruya.

"So your first name is Ichigo." Said Ichigo who turned to Nel, "You named your first daughter after me?"

"Well Ichigo is a girl's name." said Nel

Ichigo groaned… He hated whenever someone pointed that out.

"Also she's a Hybrid, she's not a full Hollow. She has a heart and no Hollow Hole. So that's one of the reasons why I kept her a secret." Said Tsuruya.

"Really don't have a Hollow Hole?" asked Kyon.

Tsuruya nodded, she was an Arrancar yet she didn't have a hole… it was really weird.

"Now that we got that out of the way." Said Kisuke, "We need to discus the new War."

"Aizen sees you as the biggest threat." Said Rukia looking at the teenagers at the table.

"Your kidding right." Said Kyon.

"All that's different than this group and the old group is that this group has aliens, a time traveler, an ESPer, an Arrancar and the Quincy's mother is a Soul Reaper." Said Kisuke.

"Your mother is a Soul Reaper?" asked Itsuki.

"I chose to take after my father… there is no way I'm ever going to unleash my Soul Reaper powers." Muttered Yuri.

"Yuri's mother is the Lieutenant of the 12 Division and is an artificial Soul Reaper. Her grandfather is a mad scientist who sees everyone and everything as an experiment. When she was young her grandfather tired to kidnap her, although she was saved the kidnapping mentally scared her for life, because of that she will never except the she's part Soul Reaper." Thought Kyon.

That's when Yuri kicked him in the shin.

"Thanks for telling everyone my life story…" muttered Yuri.

"You should be lucky that he didn't reveal that the incident made you scared of clowns." Said Yachiru.

Yuri glared at Yachiru, slammed her head into the table and muttered "I hate my friends."

"You need to get it together, Aizen will send Arrancar after you." Said Kisuke.

"But I don't know how to fight." Said Mikuru.

"That doesn't matter." Said Kon jumping to the table, "I once lead a team to fights Hollows and a couple of didn't know how to fight. You know what one of them defeated an Arrancar. Granted it was a Psycho Lesbian molesting the Arrancar to Defeat but still, she defeated the Arrancar with out any special powers."

"He's not making that up, I was a member of that team." Said Ururu clearing any doubts of what he just said.

"I have two questions." Said Itsuki, "What is a Quincy."

"It's an almost extinct clan of Hollow Fighters that kill Hollows rather and purify." Answered Yuri with her face still in the table.

"If the 2nd question is about me kid, I'm an artificial soul put into a stuffed toy." Answered Kon.

"I think you should head up to Kaien's room to talk." Said Rukia, "Us adults need to talk about what's going on."

"Kon! You're going with them!" yelled Ichigo.

"Fine." Muttered Kon.

The teens left, with Yuri dragging Yachiru along with them.

"No fair! I'm older than Ichi!" yelled Yachiru.

"You're still coming with us!" muttered Yuri.

Kyon's sister followed them.

They went into Kyon's room, which was very cramped… to be fair there was 9 high school students, an 11 year old and a talking stuffed toy.

"So what's the plan." Said Itsuki.

"You four are going to join the S.O.S. Brigade." Said Haruhi, "I mean an Arrancar, a Lieutenant, a Quincy and another Alien would be great to have."

"No… like I said me and Yachiru are here for back up... even if there is another war going on."

"Well too bad you're joining!" yelled Haruhi.

"We're not joining!" yelled Yuri.

The two began to glare at each other.

"What a compromise." Said Emiri.

"What do you mean?" asked Haruhi.

"The four of us form our own group to back you up if you need us." Said Emiri.

"That's a cool idea." Said Yachiru.

"Yeah, I'll go with that." Said Tsuruya.

"Seems fine." Said Yuri adjusting her glasses.

"All right… then I declare ourselves the Back Up S.O.S. Brigade!" yelled Tsuruya as she and Yachiru posed in a cool fashion.

Emiri just smiled at the two posing while Yuri just adjusted her glasses saying "I'm not posing."

"Am I going to fight?" asked Kyon's sister.

Everyone was silent.

"Maybe you should your parents." Said Haruhi.

"Oh…" pouted Kyon's sister.

"This is dangerous Masaki. You shouldn't fight." Said Kyon.

"But aunt Karin fought Hollows." Said Kyon's.

"She only fought weaker Hollows…" said Kon, "I was there."

"She used him a soccer ball." Whispered Haruhi to the others.

Downstairs…

"I can't believe that Aizen has returned." Muttered Ichigo.

"We know one thing, is that for the time being he won't be able to create the King's Key." Said Kisuke, "Not until the Juureichi shift is complete."

"I just realized something." Said Rukia.

"What?" asked Ichigo.

"We might have to take our posts earlier than we thought." Said Rukia.

"But…" said Ichigo.

"Remember, you can still do your duties while taking care of your family. Nemu is able to do it and Yachiru was just transferred here, plus Yamamoto knows that your family is a priority." Said Kisuke.

"Do you really think the kids will be able to handle it…" said Nel.

"Haruhi is still dealing with her memories, Kyon still can't handle his powers and Mikuru can't do anything." Said Kisuke.

"I wonder…" aid Rukia quietly.

"Wonder what?" asked Ichigo.

"I just have an idea." Said Rukia, "But I'm not sure if it will work."

"Well either way. I'm moving here permanently." Said Kisuke.

"What?" asked Ichigo.

"Tessai and Ururu are going back to Karakura town tomorrow." Said Kisuke, "But I think I should stay. And besides…"

There was a silence…

"All the kids are wondering why I haven't aged from when their parents were their age." Said Kisuke.

"You'd think they'd be wondering why the big hitter for the Giants is working part time…" muttered Ichigo.

"Either way…" said Kisuke, "We have to inform the Soul Society immediately."

There was a silence in the room.

That night in the Soul Society there was a very important Captain's meeting.

"I am afraid that Sosuke Aizen has returned." Said General Yamamoto.

Everyone's in the room's eyes winded.

"You can't be serious." Said Renji.

"Both Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kurosaki saw him with their own eyes." Said Yamamoto.

"He shouldn't be able to create the King's Key with out the Hoygoku." Said Captain Kurotsuchi.

"He wouldn't have turned if he didn't have a new way." Said Captain Soifon.

"Indeed it's true. He has allied himself with an Arrancar that can alter data." Explained Yamamoto, "According to the story it is a Humanoid Interface that died and became an Arrancar."

"So Humanoid Interfaces are able to become Hollows." Said Captain Kurotsuchi.

"Captain Kurotsuchi, you are no where allowed near the area unless allowed." Ordered Yamamoto.

"I guess you didn't hear that Yuri is there." Said Renji with a laugh.

"If you show up, she's going to get angry." Said Karin, "Remember her 10th Birthday party."

"I'd rather forget." Muttered Captain Kurotsuchi who the muttered, "Who knew a Quincy could use ice cream like that…"

Yamamoto cleared his throat.

"We have to be vigilant for the time being. Due to Juureichi Shift, Aizen will be unable to create the King's Key until it compete. Also I will announce that both Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kurosaki will take their roles as Captain of the 5th Division and Lieutenant of the 13th Division Immediately."

Everyone else nodded…

Meanwhile in Karakura Town, at a decent sized apartment… A group of Friends met, they were secretly (and unofficially) referred to as the Karakura Town Defenders, it consisted of Uryu (Yuri's father), Chad, Tatsuki, Keigo, Chizuru, Nemu, Yuzu and Jinta.

"So I'm sue you all heard the news." Said Uryu.

"You mean that Kaien has finally gotten his powers?" asked Yuzu.

"No…" said Uryu.

"You mean that Orihime's reincarnation had remembered." Said Chizuru who began to gush thinking how cute her reincarnation is.

"Why is she in this group again?" asked Keigo.

"Because she actually defeated an Arrancar…" said Jinta who whispered, "Unlike you…"

"Hey!" yelled Keigo.

"Calm down everyone!" shouted Tatsuki.

That's when there was the sounds of a baby crying. Nemu left the room to care for the baby.

Uryu took a breath.

"I got a message from both Yuri and Urahara. Aizen has returned." Said Uryu.

"You can't be serious." Said Jinta.

"I'm afraid so." Said Uryu.

"But with the Juureichi Shift, he won't attack here, will he?" asked Yuzu.

"We have to be prepared. We won't know if they will strike here or not." Said Uryu.

Everyone else nodded except for Tatsuki who stared at the ceiling.

"Orihime…" she thought.

In Kyon's room, he stared at the ceiling. Everyone seemed to be straitened out involving the Back Up S.O.S. Brigade. His sister agreed not to fight. But he knew that what was going to happen was going test the entire brigade and maybe even push them to it's limits.

Next Time: Haruhi feels that the Back Up Brigade should have one more member in order to have a "five man band". However Kyon thinks it's unlikely that someone would show up and join... well that's not a "Plant". However when an Arrancar strikes a mysterious person help them... Meanwhile Ichigo is dealing with the new tasks with being a captain... well more like dealing with his new clingy Lieutenant.

A/N: The Karakura Defenders won't have much of a role in the story. They will be mentioned, but only that... Expect for one... but it won't be a while until I bring them in...
