Tarantula

"Again" by Yui

Opening rifts and title card: Bleach appears

Kono omoi wo keshite shimau niwa mada jinsei nagai desho?

Yarinokoshi te'ru koto yarinaoshite mitai kara

The screen flashes from El Rey, El Torre, to La Reina, towards Karakura Town where Orihime, Chad, and Uryu as the Triunvirato stands over them in the shadows.

Yume no tsuzuki oikakete ita hazu nano ni

Magarikunetta hosoi michi hito ni tsumazuku

Ano koro mitai ni tte modoritai wakejanai no Nakushite kita sora wo sagashite'ru

wakatte kuremasu you ni Gisei ni natta you na kanashii kao wa yamete yo

Renji stands on top of a electrical pole as Tatsuki stands outside the now abandon Kurosaki clinic as she reaches out a hand towards it and sees what looks like a ghost of her former friend.

Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo,

zutto kurushiku seotte'ku n da

Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni dare wo matte'ru no?

Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta you ni

motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo

nani kara nogaretai n da...

genjitsu tte yatsu ka?

Kon is seen being stepped on by a few school children, as Tatsuki is seen battling several unnamed Shinigami, while Las Asesinas, and El Monje are watching from a far.

Kanaeru tame ni ikite'ru n datte Sakebitaku naru yo Kikoete imasu ka?

Bunan ni nante yatte'rarenai kara...

kaeru basho mo nai no

Yasashisa niwa itsumo kansha shite'ru Dakara tsuyoku naritai (I'm on the way)

Natsukashiku naru konna itami mo kangei jan

Tatsuki is seen arguing with Uryu, while Renji and Orihime are attempting to calm them down while Chad is watching with a sweatdropped. The ghosts of Yuzu and Karin are watching the night sky as El Rey tries to reach for them and they vanish and his right eye glows bright yellow, as the ending credits start to roll, and the ending rifts start.

A rainy cloudy day in Karakura Town

Tatsuki looks up as a raindrop hits her in the head, she pulls out her umbrella and sighs. {"It's...Today…"}. She looks sad as she clutches a vase of flowers {"Hope you approve of them Ichigo..these are Yuzu-chan's favorites."}. She then waved down a taxi and asked the driver to take her to the local cemetery. She looks out the window as the rain starts to pour softly as they pass by the still-abandoned Kurosaki Clinic. She then checks her phone and then looks up and pressed her face against the window as she swore she saw a figure with familiar orange hair. "Something wrong?" The driver asks as he turns down the radio, Tatsuki looks back with slight flustering. "No..I thought I saw someone familiar." She replies downtrodden and the driver doesn't push it further.

Tatsuki then texts Orihime and Chad letting them know she would be at the cemetery and not at school.

Back at Tatsuki's apartment

Renji snored, as he slept in Tatsuki's spare apartment bedroom, which became a mess. The rain banged against the roof and window, he rolled over once then twice and then off the bed landing with a loud thud and a crash. He struggled to stand up and couldn't see anything as a takeout box was on top of his head. After an hour of trying to reach the door and failing, Renji finally leaves the room and looks around and notices he is alone. He enters the kitchen while brushing his teeth and noticing a letter on the table.

Dear lunar Cosplaying lazy ass samurai with a flip phone

I'm gonna need the day off, I'm heading to the local cemetery to see an old friend. I have spare food in the fridge. You can skip school if you like. Today is a pretty chill day.

P.S: You owe me ¥56,712 a month in rent...and Clean your goddamn room! I'm not your maid!

From: Tatskui

Renji blinked, {"I'm Not lunar...nor Cosplaying...nor lazy! It's called Selective participation!"}. His mentality ranted in his head, he then paused as he noticed the 'Local Cemetery to see an old friend.'. {"Old friend…"} Renji thought then heard the rain and he had a strange and terrible feeling.

Back with Tatsuki

The Taxi came to a stop at the bottom of the hill that held the cemetery. Tatsuki exited and paid the driver and watched him drive off. "Tatsuki-chan!" Tatsuki looked over her shoulder at her name being called and was surprised to see Orihime, and Chad along with a teenager with glasses. Tatsuki raised her brow at him "Hey...who the hell are you?" She pointed her question at the teenager.

The Boy pushed up his glasses in a superior manner. "Names Uryū Ishida...I guess you can say I am a cousin of Ichigo in a sense." He replied in a superior tone with dramatic flair. Tatsuki just sweatdropped "Didn't know Ichigo had a four-eyes for a cousin…" She grumbled under her breath and Uryū blinked and looked slightly offended. "Well excuse me...I thought you were a boy at first…" Tatsuki's head slowly creaked toward him, "W...w..What Did you say You pompous ass Punk!" Chad had to physically restrain her to prevent her from pummelling Uryū face in. Orihime was trying to calm everyone down, unaware that Yin and Yang were watching them from on top of a light pole.

"What should we do?" Yin asked her sister, "Nothing we monitor them for now, Rey-sama is convinced the Grand Fisher is gonna show up." Yang replied as they started to Sonído away, as the group approached them. Tatsuki was in a foul mood and marched up the hill, followed by Orihime who was apologizing profusely to Uryū and Chad who stayed quiet and in between Uryū and Tatsuki to prevent a fight between the two. Tatsuki looked up and swore she spotted a familiar pineapple headed cosplaying samurai. "HEYY!" Renji shouted from on top of the hill. Tatsuki brain slowly started to work, and then her eyes widened and she screamed "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY ¥56,712! YOU STUPID ASS COSPLAYING SAMURAI!" Orihime, Chad and Uryū covered their ears, "Geez...what a brute…" Uryū muttered under his breath.

Renji sweatdropped {"Rent...Rent...oh...Wait...What?!"} His eyes widened at that and he shouted back "That's extortion!" Tatsuki gained a tick mark on her forehead "NO its not! Get a job you damn freeloader!" She snapped back, Renji's face fell at that comment. "I hate to be rude..but do you know this guy? I hope he isn't your boyfriend…" Uryū interrupted their bickering. "Oh Renji? He is a new kid in our class." Orihime explained and Uryū blinked {"I never seen him before...is he...a shinigami?"} Uryū's thoughts were interrupted by Tatsuki who added on "Yea like Hime said...also he is my roommate.." She said the last part extremely softly so nobody could hear her.

"So in effect…..your boyfriend?" Uryū asked as he pushed up his glasses. Tatsuki grew so hot with anger that steam and steam engine noises were seen/heard coming from her ears. "He's not my boyfriend!" She roared, and she started blushing extremely hard. {"B..boyfriend...seriously...I'm just glad Ichigo isn't here...he would tease me forever."}

In another location

El Rey sneezed, into his hand as he sat in his and La Reina's room, La Reina looked up from her book "Did you gain a cold my love?" She asked in a stoic manner. El Rey shook his head "No..I think someone was talking about me." He replied. La Reina blinked and stood up and poked a fire that El Rey had started earlier in the fireplace, she wrapped her tattered kimono tighter around her petite frame. "If they are talking about you...they should know you're taken." She replied as she flashed her lavender cat-like eyes.

El Rey Sonído towards La Reina and scooped her up and kissed her passionately. "Oh...they will know!" He said in between kisses, and La Reina smiled and purred heavily as she wrapped herself around his waist.

Back at the cemetery

Tatsuki's eyes twitched slowly then more and more violently, as the group entered the cemetery. {"Why is he here?!"} She shook her head instantly dispelling those thoughts as Renji started walking beside her. "Hey...so Orihime told me ya friend Ichigo and his family got murdered." His voice and tone was soft and in a way sympathetic. Tatsuki blinked at that, caught her off guard by his change in demeanor and tone. "Y..yea..a bunch of other people were killed that day." She said sadly as the sky started to darken as it threatened to rain once again.

Orihime, Chad, and Uryū watched them from a few feet behind. "That's most likely her boyfriend." Uryū spoke first, with Orihime, and Chad silently agreed with him. Orihime collapsed her hands and placed them close to her chest. {"Tatsuki-chan...I hope he treats you well."} She starts dreaming about Tatsuki getting married to Renji and giggling to herself. She of course was unaware of Uryū and Chad sweat dropping and blinking at her antics "Is...s...she okay?" Uryū spoke first, Chad just stood there speechless.

Yin and Yang also sweatdropped as they sat on top of the electrical pole. Yin looked around as she felt something, she started to sweat slightly. "You feel that?" She asked her sister, who nodded "He is here...I don't know where." Yang stated, as she wiped her forward, Yin then peered into the distance "Oi..I thought that pineapple head was the only shinigami in town?" Yin asked, Yang whirled around confused and slightly annoyed at her sister's question. "Eh?! Why would you ask that Baka?!"She softly hissed as she whacked her sister with her hand. Yin rubbed her head in pain and whimpered "I..I only asked because there is another shinigami!?" She snapped back and jerked her thumb at a shinigami trying to hide behind an electrical box.

"EH?!" Yang shoved her sister out the way, ignoring Yin's cry as she tried to get a closer look. Sure enough there was a shinigami trying to hide behind an electrical box but his standard shinigami outfit plus a JIngasa that was obscuring his eyes and a reed in his mouth, had him sticking out like a sore thumb. Yang sweatdropped at the appearance of the shinigami {"..Is..t...this a joke…"} Yang then sniffed the air and sweatdropped even more {"Is...he...drunk…?!"} "What do we do Imōto?" Yin asked her twin, "Report this to lady Yoruichi." Yang replied and the two Sonído off.

Flashback: Soul Society the day before

The sky was shining on Rukongai as people went about their day and children ran through the city's streets ducking and dodging through merchants and individuals on their way to work. A shinigami was playing with a few local children with a spinning top, on top of a wooden barrel. He was then approached from behind by another shinigami who had his head down and his face obscured by a JIngasa, who tapped him on the shoulder and directed him to follow him much to the dismay of the children.

"What's up?" The shinigami asked as he had his back to the wall of a nearby shop in a dusty alleyway. "Renji Abarai, Lieutenant of the 6th Division hadn't reported since he was stationed in the human world." The Other Shinigami replied, the first shinigami raised his eyes "So..why me? Why not the 2nd Division?" The first shinigami asked, the other shinigami replied "We just need you to make sure he is okay if it's serious...then we send in the 2nd Division." The first Shinigami nodded at that.

Flashback ended

The Shinigami peaked from out behind the electrical box as the sky began to darkened. {"Hmmm...so he fell in love with a human?"}He blinks as he watches Renji in his Gigai walk alongside Tatsuki and her group of friends. He then looked up towards the light pole on the opposite side of the street and a few blocks away. {"I sensed the presence of two beings...were they hollows? They felt more like a shinigami…They seemed to know I was there."}. The Shinigami left his hiding spot and walked up the hill tailing the group for a while. He noticed the human male with glasses would occasionally glance back at him with a glare and as soon as they locked eyes he turned around with a superior huff.

The Shinigami blinked and sweatdropped slightly {"Can..he see me? Geez this town is weird. I can see why most Shinigami aren't stationed here."}. He then paused as he felt something weird, something dreadful. "I have a bad feeling about this…" He muttered under his breath as he chewed on the reed in his mouth. He then noticed the sky started to darken again threatening to release their content.

Halfway across town in a small candy shop

Kisuke sat on the front porch of his store, as he felt a raindrop hitting him on his head. He looked up and could tell it was going to rain again. {"Isshin...I'm so sorry...I'm making it up..but I don't think you will like what your son is doing…"} He then noticed a black cat sitting in front of him. He raised a brow as the right eye had a black sclera with a single yellow iris and the skull on the right side under the jawline was showing the rest of its body were normal. "It's me you baka…" The cat said after a minute of annoyance its voice was warbly and femaine,a hole was seen on its chest.

"Oh heyy Yoruichi I forgot you could still transform." Kisuke replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. Yoruichi developed a tick mark and before she could swipe at him the sounds of duel fast approaching footsteps was heard. Accompanied by "HANDS OFF LADY YORUICHI! YOU PERVERTED BUCKET HAT GUY!" Yin & Yang shouted in unison as they both kicked Kisuke in his face with the bottom of their heels. This sent him flying back into the store with an almighty crash and the sounds of random objects breaking and a cat meowing loudly. {"I….I...I didn't even touch her!"} Kisuke wailed internally.

Yin and Yang glared and flared their Reiatsu which was blue and red respectively. Yoruichi sighed and tapped Yang with her paw, Yang blinked slowly as dread filled her and her sister. They turned around slowly and bowed before Yoruichi in her cat form "Please forgive us Lady Yoruichi!" They pleaded in unison, Yoruichi just sweatdropped at their antics "Uh...it's fine…" She stated then something came to her attention "Weren't you two suppose to be monitoring the substitute shinigami?" She then pressed. Yin and Yang just sweat dropped "Well...Lady Yoruichi we…" Yang stuttered under her adoptive mother's soul-piercing gaze.

"Yes?" Yoruichi raised her hollowed eye which dimmed and narrowed, Yang gulped and Yin took over for her sister. "We sensed him…" Yin closed her eyes and rolled into a ball as soon as she said that. She then opened one eye and blinked as Yoruichi looked at her oddly "What are you doing my kitten?" Yoruichi asked, purring slightly Yin jumped back up and waved her hands defensively "N..Nothing.". Yang then jumped in. "Oh yea we saw another Shinigami...I think he was drunk but he was following the Substitute and her mentor." Yang reported. Yoruichi raised her brow and blinked "They...sent a drunk Shinigami to investigate the other Shinigami's disappearance?" Yoruichi almost internally had to repeat what her adoptive daughter told her.

Yang and Yin looked at each other then back at their adoptive mother and nodded quickly. Yoruichi sighed and facepalmed using her paw "I guess the Soul Society standards have slackened…" She trailed off on a light rant about the 'Slackening of recruitment standards'. Yin and Yang just looked at each other and shrugged, then Yoruichi appeared on Yang's shoulder startling the younger twin slightly before she straightened and scratched behind her adoptive mother's ears. Yoruichi purred as she licked her adoptive daughter. "Alright we have no choice but to intervene." She then stated as she sat down on Yang's shoulder.

Yin and Yang looked at each other, but didn't question nor disobey their adoptive mother's orders. They were her Fracción, her children and it was their duty to obey all of her commands. No matter how weird, odd, creepy, and/or unusually the commands or requests were. Yin and Yang then Sonído up to a nearby roof carefully and Yin opened a Descorrer to allow them to reach the cemetery quickly. The Rain started to pour down heavier and heavier as lightning arches across the sky.

Kisuke stumbles out coughing and looks disheveled and beat up, as he dusts himself off. He looks up at the sky and notices it's raining heavily. He sighs and sits back down on the front porch. "I hate the rain…" He angrily laments at nobody else then he looks up and spots La Reina standing there with an umbrella with Bunny shaped skulls and scythes in crossbone patterns strewn across it. He sighs and stands up and gives a mock bow "Tea?" La Reina just nods.
