I haven't updated this in more than a month! Terrible! Why is it that when I just turn my laptop on someone interrupts me and I have to do something?

Sorry if parts of this chapter are a bit speech heavy. There are parts where people are just reporting things to each other.

And what do you guys think of me writing this then rewriting it at the end as a separate story. I have many issues with things that are missing, not explained or just poorly written. I struggle to make a plan and follow it making this rather hard so I was thinking of doing that at the end. (Not that that is anytime soon) If anyone wishes to share their opinion I will greatly appreciate it!

ChunkyFunkyMunky - If this part of the story seems like a crack fic it's that there are so many invade the Seireitei arcs in existence that I am just struggling to keep it serious. Once you read it in twenty different ways you just want some entertainment.

VKMP - Nice to have someone to agree with. May Mayuri suffer forever!

SweetsMaster - I don't know if I have replied to you but thanks! There are many wonderful bleach time travel fics and that you like this one so much makes me enjoy writing this so much more.

Nerocurse - Thanks!

Jacquiline+green - Kenpachi is a bit of a comedy source for me. Along with Grimmjow. Once the full fighting group is assembled there shall be plenty more chaos!

Stygiandragon - Maybe... I do like your thoughts and it has made me think about how this will effect things more.

Crazy4abby - And eaten it shall be.

Chapter 18, Yes I am a danger,

Ichigo,

It seemed so familiar. In front of him by just a few meters was someone he had not seen for a long long time. One of the people he respected, Madarame Ikkaku, fought smiling and died fighting. Yet even though he stood before him this was not the same man he once knew. As always he did his lucky dance, more difficult than one would think holding all of his weight on just two toes. Ichigo let him finish first.

Beside him stood the mans closest friend. Ayasegawa Yumichika. The one who wished to stand by his squad so much he hid his true power fought with a fake shikai that greatly weakened him. However this did not stop him from becoming strong. Fifth seat of squad eleven. Quite a feat.

But he understood that he could not fight like he used to with them. Not yet.

"Oh you know my name? I'm honored!" Yep that was him a perpetual grin across his face at the prospect of a good fight. Sword pointed straight at him in challenge.

"Ah yes I do. How about I let you in on a little secret of mine? I'll even accept your offer for a fight if you are willing to go all out." I pulled out one of my swords, Shiro. Ossan was less of a fighting person so he accepted being used as the second sword.

"Hmm a secret. Why not, go ahead."

"Your actually one of the people I respect the most within the gotei 13. Along with your captain and the four oldest captains. There are a couple more but mostly captains."

At that his grin faultered slightly a brief look of shock then the grin flashed back greater than before. "Oh really? Well then I guess I will have to go all out then. A third seat being respected to the same level as captains, I would hate to disappoint."

Raising his sword Ichigo moved into a stance he could feel excitement bubbling up at fight one of his favourite sparing partners even if he has to dampen down his own abilities, a grin spreading across his own face. "I think the only way you could disappoint me is by not taking me seriously. But enough chit chat! Come at me Ikkaku! Maybe you can make me draw my second blade! Don't worry I won't attack Yumichika, one on one fights are great after all."

With that he ran forward and slashed downwards. Ikkaku just about raised his sheath in time and pushed him backwards then jabbed his sword forward. Only for Ichigo to put his palm in the swords path and hold it by the very tip.

"Aww really? That's all kinds of unfair! A quincy technique? Yes that information was spread around the gotei rather fast after all. And what what are you a duel wielder or what? You have three zanpakuto! How does that work?"

At this he could only laugh. "Na that's no quincy ability. Or shinigami mind you. The swords? The one at my waist was a gift from someone I care about dearly. It was not something I originally had. To me these three swords are worth more than my life."

"Ichigo..."

"Aw man e's gettin' a case of ta emotions!"

"I never realized he thought of us so highly."

"It's Aibou."

"Fair point made."

"Well at least that was cleared up but what the fuck are you then?"

"Hahahaha, I thought this was a fight, you haven't even released hozukimaru yet! Here I thought that I would fight you considering that I am the second strongest of our group, though you won't see the strongest member until the end."

Brief annoyance appeared and then disappeared only to be replaced by the grin. Ikkaku pulled back away from him and Ichigo allowed him to. The rising reiatsu signifying the swords release. "Extend Hozukimaru!" And as the command explained the sword extended and turned into a naginata.

Then he moved forwards once again aiming straight for Ichigo's head only for him to move to the right slightly and bring his sword down now there was no protection. But this was Ikkaku and he was a skilled fighter, sensing his intentions he moved back only for Ichigo to change his swords path and cut a line just above Ikkaku's eye. Ah how familiar.

"You can't deal with your injuries in shikai can you and even small cuts can bleed great amounts."

"You know about that!" Ikkaku yelled slightly annoyed that Ichigo seemed to know all his little tricks.

"Like I said, I respect you. Your strong and don't shy away from those that are stronger, you are prepared for battle and don't spew out all of the information about your abilities. It's what makes you so powerful."

"You know your actually quite a nice guy for someone who is invading Seireitei."

"I am only doing it to save someone. But..." As much fun as it was fighting Ikkaku he was busy and they would have many chances to fight in the future. So using shunpo he appeared behind Ikkaku to whisper into his ear, "You can tell I am stronger than you. Use bankai."

To the mans credit he only flinched at the fact his opponent was now being him. He did not jump forward nor turn around. He only whispered back, "What makes you think a third seat like me would have bankai."

"Sadly I can't tell you that yet. But I do know you have it. It's called Ryumon Hozukimaru. I'll even let you send your friend away if you want."

With the obvious proof that he knew about his bankai Ikkaku gave in. With a huff he looked over to Yumichika. "Oi Yumi!"

"Yes Ikkaku?"

"I ain't gonna send you away but I know now that this man is gonna thoroughly kick my ass, you just sit tight and let him go after. It looks like Zaraki-taicho has a good fight heading to him."

"Ok then, that is if he is going to just let me stand here."

Ichigo moved his head towards Yumichika and nodded. "Might as well make yourself comfortable. He's going to have to see the fourth after i'm done with him." He then moved to his previous position in front of Ikkaku and waited.

"Bankai! Ryumon Hozukimaru!" His grin grew at the feeling at his friends strength, the feeling of potential. In his hands were the two large blades, above him a third.

"Hey I'll let you charge up your power. I can wait. I want to feel just how powerful you are at full power!"

"Your being awfully generous! Alright then!" Grabbing the middle blade Ikkaku began to spin his bankai, the dragon slowly charging up with red power.

Finally it was fully charged. "Come. Hit me with everything you have got! If your strong enough I will even fight you again in the future!" Ikkaku ran towards him lifting both blades and brought them down at the same time.

Yumichika,

He sat there in amazement, he knew that he had been keeping a secret about his own zanpakuto but bankai! What scared him was the fact that he had said that this stranger would be able to defeat him with ease and yet he hadn't even drawn another sword never mind shikai.

But he had managed to stop Ikkaku's sword with one hand without any effort at all.

As Hozukimaru descended Kurosaki just stood there calmly that same grin still on his face. When the blade hit the path beneath them exploded from the force kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Ikkaku!"

"Don't worry he's alive."

Through the dust he could see the figure of Ichigo (after all Kurosaki had enough hair for both himself and Ikkaku's bald head) who lifted his left arm and swung his sword pushing away the dust so they could all see.

"Fuck your still standing." Ikkaku groaned. He was lying on the ground with a deep gash going from neck to hip, hozukimaru had reverted back to being sealed. "And your unharmed. How in the hell."

"Hey you got me to unsheathe my second sword and i'm not completely unharmed. Look." Lifting his left arm a thin line could be seen going from wrist to elbow bleeding slowly.

"I do not take that as a hit. I was in bankai and your swords are still sealed."

Then the man started laughing. "Yeah well don't worry. I am pretty solid. Even Urahara-sensei has a hard time getting a hit on me."

"Urahara? You talking about Urahara Kisuke, former captain. That man is your teacher?"

"Yeah, not for shunpo though. Yoruichi-sensei likes to play tag."

"Yoruichi Shihoin? The flash goddess, no wonder your so strong and fast. With those two teaching you I would have never had a chance."

His friend was not wrong. Two former captains. Yoruichi Shihoin, former captain of squad two and the omnitsukido. She was probably responsible for his speed and reiatsu control. Urahara Kisuke, former captain of squad twelve. Incredibly smart, underestimating him in battle would only lead to death. Due to both of them being former omnitsukido it would be good to suspect that this boy in front of them would also be skilled at stealth and assassination. When he thought about it the boys movements held no sound at all. When he used shunpo it was silent and you could never hear his feet touch the ground.

During the fight he was calm and had obviously gathered intelligence on the gotei. Kurosaki Ichigo was a dangerous individual. That much was obvious.

"Hey Yumichika come help me keep him still. He's stubborn as anything and I need him to stay put."

"Hmm Ok."

"Oi what are you two planning? Hey Yumi!"

He held him down while Ichigo Begun to heal him. As predicted Ikkaku threw a tantrum over bing healed by his enemy to which Ichigo gave a good impression of Unohana and told him to shut up.

"Why are you doing this?"

"I didn't mean to cut so deep let me heal it otherwise you'll bleed out your two far away from the forth squad."

"Hey Kurosaki!" Ikkaku was propped up against the wall, Kurosaki had said something about Ikkaku trying to fight him again if he healed him a hundred percent.

"Hm?"

"Before you go can I ask you something?"

Kurosaki stood with his back to us but turned his head to show he was listening."Go ahead."

"I can't sense your reiatsu. Even when you were healing me. That should be impossible, so why?"

"You want to sense it?"

"Yes!"

"Hm making things difficult for me. I have to keep it to the area if I want to keep Yamamoto of my case. Well give me a few seconds."

So they watched him in silence and waited then all of a sudden a pressure greater than they had felt even from the time someone had managed to piss of Zaraki-taicho. They had never felt anything like it. It crushed there ribs against their lungs and pushed them down to the floor that was cracking from the pressure.

They both realised that this person was no mere shinigami or quincy. He was a monster in the form of a human, just like their captain.

"I look forward to fighting Kenpachi."

From the lack of oxygen in their lungs they both collapsed. Sleeping on the floor that was once again flat from being disintegrated and pushed down.

Unohana,

Today there would be no rest for the forth. The rate of the injured had stacked up so high it was threatening to reach ten thousand. But all of them were alive. Except for two. Both captains.

The first was Kurostuchi Mayuri. But she was not surprised at hearing this. There had been at least five quincy running around and it was known in the gotei that the crazy man had gone against orders and experimented on and killed many quincy. No, his death was not a surprise and had not effected anyone and but Nemu who had informed the captains of his death then had gone missing.

The second was Aizen Sosuke. One of Seireitei's most popular captains and secretly hated by herself, Juushiro and Shunsui. Everything he did felt fake and he put her on edge. She was a former Kenpachi and that anyone could put her on edge was never a good sign. It normally meant something world ending.

She had looked at his corpse over and over and she still planned to look more but there was currently other thing that she had to do.

Earlier that day the third and fifth seat had been brought in. Both had been found unconscious with a heavy reiatsu lingering on their bodies. Ikkaku appeared to have been healed as his shihakusho was sliced up and covered in blood yet there were no visible injuries to be found. Yumichika had no injuries but was also unconscious with the same reiatsu clinging to him.

She had informed Zaraki-taicho so he could come here and interrogate them with her.

"Madarame, Ayasegawa, I can see you have woken up."

"Fuck me i'm surprised i'm even alive."

"IKKAKU I HEARD YOU LOST TO THE RYOKA!"

As Kenpachi stormed into the room she gave him a glare quickly silencing him. "Why is that? You seemed perfectly fine if unconscious when I found you."

Instead of Madarame answering Ayasegawa did,"Because he was playing with us. We weren't even the people he wanted to fight we just happened to be in his path."

"Really! FINALLY A GOOD FIGHT! Tell me about this ryoka!"

"Well let me start with appearance so you recognize him if you find him. He was wearing a shihakusho with a blue shitagi. His obi was wide like Kyoraku-taicho's but in red. He wears a black rather long black scarf and white gloves. He carried three swords, two on his back and one at his waist The Sheathes on his back are carried by two long pieces of red fabric. His most noticeable feature was his waist length bright orange hair that was tied with a red ribbon. For his facial structure and body he looked rather like Kaien Shiba but more scared up and his eyes were brown and gold. At least the one you can see his hair covers his right eye."

Sometimes she felt blessed for Ayasegawa's focus on beauty and the fact he had a brain in his head. "Thank you for the description I will be able to report this to Yamamoto-Soutaicho. Could you tell us about his abilities?"

As if like a switch had been flipped Madarame started to laugh loudly.

"Madarame?"

When he finally stopped there was a look on his face that she could only describe as some mix between respect, awe and fear. "Sure I can write pages about him and I don't know the first thing about him. Now I am going to tell one of my biggest secrets so I do ask that it doesn't get spread around if that is possible."

"I am sure that this is possible." If it didn't cause any issues.

"Well when he first came across me he already knew both our names and the name of my zanpakuto. I found him because he had been screaming in search of the captain 'cause he wants to fight you."

Wonderful the person was in search with a fight with Kenpachi. That said enough on it's own.

"When I went to attack him he blocked my sword easily with his hand and told me to release my sword. When I did he dodged me easily and cut me above my eye here." He said this while pointing a line above his eye. "He then shunpoed behind me. I neither saw nor head him move. He then told me to release bankai. Which, might I add, I obtained in secret a mere few months ago. He even knew the name of my bankai and that I had to charge it up first to be able to fight at full power."

Madarame then paused to allow me to catch up with writing it all down for the captains meeting later that day. "I'm afraid that the other captains will be informed of your bankai but I will ask for them to spread it no further than that. Please continue."

Madarame looked relieved at the thought that his achievement of bankai could be kept secret."Understood. This is about time that I could tell that I was ridiculously outclassed but not just how outclassed we really were. He told me to charge up my bankai and hit him as hard as he could. When I did this he didn't even move from the spot he was stood he just brought out his second sword to block me and used his original sword to attack me. I was left with a injury that was deep enough to go past my ribs and it went from my neck here..." He then proceeded to point at at his neck and bring him finger down in a line to just slightly left from the middle of his waist. "To here, then once I was down he healed me. He then proceeded to tell me who he was taught by. God if all of Seireitei doesn't know these names."

"Hmm, who were they."

"Former squad twelve captain Urahara Kisuke and former squad two captain and omnitsukido leader Shihoin Yoruichi. I suspect that he has had other teachers as well."

And this is something that she wanted to hear. Two of the captains that had left 100 years ago and Aizen was dead. How could she tell wh... Oh she should test the reiatsu in the body! It was amazing how many times people forgot that they could sense the reiatsu in the body to find out information about how someone died or even when certain attacks were used. "Yes I remember those two but I feel that there is more to your story."

"Yes. While he was walking away completely unscathed I asked him about the fact that I couldn't sense his reiatsu even when he healed me so he asked me if I wanted to feel it. Answering yes we realized just how well and truly fucked, Seireitei is truly in danger while he was here. When he allowed us to sense his reiatsu we couldn't even breathe. It was ridiculous. I'm not even sure he his human, I only think a monster could have reiatsu like that."

"And he wants to fight me?"

"Yes."

"If you could compare his reiatsu strength to a captain who would you compare it to?"

"It was as strong as Yamamoto-Soutaicho and yourself put together, perhaps even more."

And there it was. A feeling that she hadn't in one thousand years. A tingling in her spine an ache for the feeling of her sword in her hand. The feeling that made up Yachiru Unohana. She was exited. She wanted to fight this man, test her power upon his blade. The first Kenpachi wanted to go say hi to this man.

"HAHAHA FINALLY! Tell me what is his name!"

"Kurosaki Ichigo."

Tsuki,

He had gone and found a room to go be secluded in and had lain down because even though he wasn't going to tell anyone something was wrong. What would be the point when his soul was so different from anyone else and this was clearly a problem with the very core of his soul.

His earlier bout of tiredness had come back but this time it felt as though his body could not decide on a temperature. When he had begun feeling hot he had stripped down only to find that it felt as though he had just jumped into a bath of ice. So he went under a blanket to find that it was far, far to hot so he got back out and put his hakama back on and tied his obi just in case anyone ended up walking in here.

All he wanted to do was sleep but his head was throbbing and he had put out all of the kido lights because any light felt as if someone had drove a spike through his head.

"Hm. You seem to be in a bit of a situation here."

Wonderful he was going delusional. But the voice was so nice and familiar but where had he heard it before?

"Oh no I am real. Do you truly not realise what is happening to you?"

"Wha' dya mean. Feel li' shit."

"Im not surpised. Overload like this does that."

"Overload? Hey 'ell me who are ya?" Then he was freezing again so he crawled back under the blankets. But he was colder than earlier, his blood must have been made from ice. His hands were shaking and there was pain coming from the core of his soul.

"But you already know who I am."

"Na I don'. 'ell me"

"I am the one that you once followed around, the reason you were stripped of a name, though you have since gained a new one. I am the one you killed and the one you saved. But at the same time I am the one who treats you like a friend and the one that puts up with your games. I could take away this pain for now if you let me."

"Hurts. Wanna sleep." And finally he felt the throbbing of his head and the constant cold and heat die down and all he could hear was the sound of a distant waterfall and the rustling of wind going through the tree's. Grass tickled his face and there was the feeling of a butterfly landing on his cheek.

Kyoraku,

He really, really wanted to talk to Juushiro and Retsu but a meeting had been called due to an encounter with one of the ryoka. This meant that he had to listen to the old man talk for ages and then wait! But first things first gotta go to that meeting.

When he eventually got to the meeting hall he went and stood in his place and decided to look around the room to see how other captains were acting.

Toshiro, Byakuya and Soifon were their normal far to serious selves. Tousen was continuing to make him feel uncomfortable. Gin was worse with his perpetual smile and who knew with Komamura. Juushiro and Retsu (who looked particularly distracted) nodded kindly which he did the same back. Kenpachi could have been vibrating with pent up energy. There was no Kurotsuchi and Aizen had been found earlier that day pinned to the wall with his own sword dead.

At the front the head captain walked in and hit his cane on the floor, every ones attention moved to him.

"Unohana-taicho you better have had a good reason to have called an emergency meeting."

She had called it. But why?

"I have many things to talk about. The first is Kurotsuchi Mayuri is confirmed to be dead by Nemu who seems to have disappeared when I went to look for her earlier." To this almost everyone was happy.

"The second is that I believe that Kuchiki-taicho was tricked while he was in the world of the living."

Said man looked highly irritated at having the mere suggestion that he would have been fooled. "Why do you think this Unohana-taicho?"

"I am not meaning any offence to you but unless someone can jump to more than twice your average captain in power levels within two weeks then something is up."

"Hn. What do you think I was tricked about?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo was confronted by Madarame Ikkaku third seat of the eleventh squad and Ayasegawa Yumichika fifth seat of the eleventh squad. Madarame fought Kurosaki and was beaten easily. I would like to add that Madarame has gained bankai not to long ago and activated it during this fight. He does ask if this information could stay between us captains though." Whispers began to filter through the room about Madarame having bankai and how just how strong Kurosaki Ichigo could be.

After a minute Yamamoto hit his cane on the floor and the room returned to silence.

"Do continue, please tell us about Kurosaki."

"Thank you. I was told that Kurosaki stayed calm throughout the entire fight and defeated him without even activating shikai. Unlike the reports from Kuchiki-taicho and Abarai-fukutaicho instead of carrying one sword he carried three stating that two orginally belonged to himself and the third was a gift from someone he cares about greatly. He also mentioned how these swords are valued above his own life. I mention this as I believe that if we could obtain one of the swords we could bring him in as we will have great difficulty doing so otherwise."

"Why do you not trust that my stealth force could get to him or if we just aim the brute over there in his direction." Soifon stated, always wanting to prove how good she was as a captain.

"No. Stealth would probably be the worst way to go about him according to Ikkaku Kurosaki has had two teachers both are former captains and both were once a part of the omnitsukido. Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi Shihoin."

Soifons look quickly morphed into a look of anger and he could only feel sorry for the women. Yoruichi had been someone very dear to her and had suddenly betrayed the gotei for Urahara who had been convicted of hollowfing shinigami.

"Are you sure about this? That is a strong claim." Oh dear this could turn into Yamamoto himself getting out there.

"Yes, he called them Urahara-sensei and Yoruichi-sensei and as reported my Ayasegawa has shunpo that neither of them could follow and silent foot steps. There is also a last part that is much worse."

Once again the murmers started up but were silenced when Yamamoto spoke, "What is this much worse?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo healed Madarame after their fight. During the healing his reiatsu could not be sensed in the slightest. Because of this Madarame questioned him about it. Kurosaki then procceded to bring his reiatsu to a level that could be sensed that was so great Madarame and Ayasegawa told me and I quote, 'It was as strong as Yamamoto-Soutaicho and yourself put together, perhaps even more.' May I also add that we found those two unconsious due to unknown reasons with a potent reiatsu clinging to both of them which was why they were in the forth in the first place. There is also the fact that Kurosaki managed to do this without alerting the rest of the Seireitei to his location."

This time there was no murmur just stunned silence.

"Under the fact that a wielder of bankai and third seat of a squad along with the chance that these reiatsu levels are correct Kurosaki Ichigo is only allowed to be fought against by captain class fighters and that I permit use of any captains bankai if you come across him."

The murmurs once again returned but with a vengeance no one caring that it should be quite in the meeting room.

"And if someone is to come across him I am to be informed immediately to deal with him myself! You are dismissed!"

OOOH! Ichigo has some gotei after his ass. Who is the voice? What is wrong with Akira? I know but I sure as hell ain't telling you yet! Do feel free to make a guess though i'm interested to see if I have made it obvious or my nonexistent cryptic person actually worked.

This was really fun to write as it sets up some things so have fun waiting for the next chapter! -Luna
