Main POV

We'd been wandering down the streets for a while now. We'd travelled a mile or two from his school and I grinned to myself every now and again when I saw a building or area I recognised. I got some odd side glances from Ichigo, but he never said anything. I started thinking about how me being here was technically time travelling as well. My phone was very new and modern looking compared to everyone else's. They all had early 2000s models. I wondered what day it was, when was this? What month? What season?

"Hey, Ichigo, what day is it today?" I asked.

"Thursday, why?" He asked.

"Wasn't sure if it would be the same day as it would be in my world," I replied with a shrug.

"It's very odd listening to you talk about being from a different dimension all the time," he sighed. He put his arms up behind his head, leaning back as we walked.

"Hopefully you'll start believing it soon," I grinned. I could see the dirt alley approaching, we were almost there. I took off ahead now I knew where we were. I spun back around to face Ichigo as we walked closer to the shop. He seemed almost amused at how excited I was.

"Uotani," I heard from behind me. I turned to see Hitsugaya and Renji walking up to us out front of the shop.

"Ahh well if it isn't young Ichigo, my, my it has been a long time," Urahara opened the shop door and waved his fan at him. "And you brought your friend."

"I thought I said don't do anything out of the ordinary," Hitsugaya said.

"I'm not," I lied quickly. "Kisuke-kun and I have tea every Thursday, isn't that right?" I turned around and shot him a play along look.

"That's right Uo-chan," he waved his fan affectionately at me.

"You expect me to believe that?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Not everyone believes the truth Hitsugaya, but we call those people ignorant," I responded and walked into the shop, past the snacks and into the back room like I knew the place well. And I did, sort of.

"Why you," I heard from behind me. It was funny to me that since Toshiro had aged up thanks to finishing his bankai he was still as irritable and cranky as he was before.

"So Uo, what can I do for my apparently very good friend?" Urahara asked.

"Sorry about that," I replied smiling sheepishly. "I've got a story for you and then you're going to tell me how it happened."

"You're going to tell me what happened and then you want me to explain it to you? Sounds like a book report, that takes me back," he replied sitting down, asking Tessai for some tea.

"Why are Renji and Hitsugaya here?" I asked, sitting down across from him. Ichigo took a seat beside me.

"They came to use the training room downstairs I expect, is your story private?" He smiled, intrigued. He waved his fan cheekily at me, like he was about to receive some scandalous gossip.

"Sort of," I shrugged. "You'll understand when I tell you."

"You two sound so cryptic right now," Ichigo grumbled, unamused. He crossed his arms over his chest and wore his usual scowl. "Can't you just start talking so we can get this over with?"

"Hey, Urahara, it alright if we use the training room?" Renji asked as Ikkaku and Yumichika followed behind him. They stood by the door as I stared up at them. I bit my lip, I know I'd met them last night and this morning but it was still exciting whenever they entered the room.

"Sure," he nodded. "Go right ahead. Isn't Captain Hitsugaya joining you?"

"I'll be down in a minute, but first I have to ask you something," Toshiro replied. He sat down on my other side with his arms folded and legs crossed, scowl covering most of his face. "Were you able to get anything from those clothes I gave you? Any information on what attacked Uotani?"

"So it was you who stole my clothes," I pointed at him.

"You know Hitsugaya, it's a very bad habit steal young womens clothes," Urahara teased.

"Why you!" He yelled. "Grrr. Just tell me if you got anything."

"Nothing yet, but I'll keep looking," Kisuke replied.

"Alright, I'll be downstairs, notify me immediately if you find something," he said before following after the guys.

"Now that he's gone," Urahara turned to me, face obscured by his fan. "Let's get to the interesting bit."

"Late last night I was headed home from Akihabara," I started just as Tessai returned with tea.

"You're such an otaku," Ichigo muttered.

"And I took a different route home, I cut through an alley to get there, only I never made it back," I explained.

"Right, because you hit the kido barrier and split your head open, Hitsugaya-san mentioned you were attacked on your walk home." Urahara answered. "Although from analysing the rips in your clothing, it's pretty clear you weren't attacked like he believes. It's more likely they were caused by you breaking the barrier spell."

"That's just the thing," I agreed. "He thinks something came out of the rift and attacked me, but actually I believe I was what came out of the rift and was just injured as a result of breaking the kido."

"And why do you believe that?" He asked.

"She thinks this is some dumb anime world," Ichigo replied.

"Where I come from, this whole world exist in a popular manga and anime series called Bleach where Ichigo is the main character, I know because I've been watching it since I was 7 years old. I think that rift, no matter how it opened, brought me here for some reason, and I wanna know why," I explained. "I also wanna know, if it's possible for me to get back."

"And I wanna know," Ichigo started. "If it's possible someone used that memory replacing device Rukia has on Uo to make her think this is all some crazy anime?"

"Yes it's certainly possible Ichigo, but I think Uo's idea is far more likely," he explained. "If you think about it, it does make a lot of sense."

"So.." I started. "Another question, do I..."

"Do you what?" Urahara asked.

"Well it's just that, well I don't really have any experience with this ind of thing so I can't tell for myself but," I said awkwardly. "Do I have any spiritual energy?"

"It's a perfectly legitimate question to ask, Uo," Urahara told me. "And having only seen it in the anime, you wouldn't know what it feels like in person."

"So do I?" I asked.

"Everyone has a little bit, it's their soul," Urahara explained. "But I think you're asking if yours is of significance." I nodded. "And I can tell you that, while you aren't anywhere near as strong as Ichigo or most of his friends from the Seireitei, you do possess more than it normal for a human."

"And that means what?" I asked. "Is it significant enough to attract Hollows?" Ichigo stiffened, as if he hadn't thought of that. He turned his head to watch me, concerned. I love how quickly I'd become his charge.

"I wouldn't worry too much Uo," Urahara waved me off. "You're surrounded by people capable of taking care of you, should anything like that happen."

"That's not an answer," I replied. "But judging by the way you said that, I'd have to guess yes, it's quite possible."

"Of course it is, you know as well as I do this is the Reishi capital of the human world. That's why Aizen tried to absorb it for his evil plot," Urahara waved his fan at me like I was a silly little girl.

"Of course I don't plan on fighting anyone," I started. "But to explain just how much Reiryoku by giving me the odds on how likely I'd be to win is pitted against one of Ichigo's friends."

"The problem here is that all of Ichigo's friends all have much more fighting experience than you so already you're at a disadvantage," Urahara explained. "But lets say you had the same level of skill as they did to make it fair. At Chad's current power level, you would likely lose because of how he fights. But as you know, his power has just a few attacks before it starts draining away his life force. Your only options would be to get in quick and incapacitate him, or wait until he's spent enough of his life force that he is weakened. And if you choose that, you have to pray to god you can dodge his attacks.
Uryu is dangerous because he won't ever have to get close to kill you. Where as you, with your current skill level, do. You'd have to use your speed as your advantage and hope to avoid his natural talent for analysing potential moves and sensing spiritual pressure. You could win against him but it would be exceedingly difficult.
Orehime would be the easiest for you to fight so long as you take out her single ranged attack. From there she can only block or reverse. It's that you have to watch out for, because if she uses it, it's likely you'll find yourself reliving the same attacks over and over until you're exhausted.
The problem with your question is your asking about winning against very skilled individuals so power isn't enough. You have to be smart and skilled too. Your current power is enough for you to fight anyone up until a 3rd seat if given enough training. That obviously excludes people like Yumichika Ayasegawa who has captain level strength, but of course, you already knew that.
So, how'd I do? Did I give you what you want to hear?"

"Actually you only succeeded in making me realise things were much more troubling than I thought," I replied.

"That's usually how these things go," Ichigo sighed in the background. He ran a hand over his face. Poor boy could never catch a break. I felt kind of bad adding to his stress.

"Alright, what will happen to me if Hitsugaya and everyone else find out the truth?" I asked.

"Good question," he smiled behind his fan. "But I'm afraid that is really dependant on a lot of things, so until we know for sure, we'll just have to sit and observe."

"Just wait it out?" I growled.

"Yep, but don't worry Uo-chan, we'll have lots of time to discuss it since we'll be seeing so much of each other," he waved his fan affectionately at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Don't you remember Uo, we have tea together every Thursday," he had found a way to get me back for that earlier lie, I just knew it. "You couldn't stop showing up after telling Captain Hitsugaya that, or else he'll know it was a lie."

"I really hate you sometimes Kisuke," I rolled my eyes.

"That'll happen," he replied with a smirk and a shrug.

"I suppose I'd better go," I sighed. "I have to go furniture hunting for the apartment I'm renting, unless I want to sleep on the floor."

"You found a place already?" Ichigo asked surprised.

"Yeah the creepy realtor guy told me I can move in as early as tomorrow so long as I get this application in by then," I replied waving some forms around. "Actually, there's a thought. I'm not going to have any of my paperwork now I'm in a different dimension. How am I supposed to fill this out and even get a job?"

"More importantly how'd you end up with all this money if you don't even live in this world," Ichigo said picking up the bank statement.

"I don't know," I replied, seems he found it as concerning as I did. "I went to the same bank I'd been using in my world ever since I was a little kid. When I read the teller out my account number she said that was wrong but when I told her my name and my date of birth she was able to find me. This is way more money than I had in my bank account in my world, so something seemed very odd."

"That is odd," Urahara stroked his chin, although he looked like he knew something already. "We'll have to look into that. In the meantime, leave this application to me and I'll make you the appropriate documents you need. You can swing by tomorrow morning."

"Oh, so you're a forger now are you?" Ichigo asked sullenly.

"Why are you helping me with this?" I asked.

"Why ever not, aren't we good friends? We seem good friends enough for weekly tea," he teased.

"The overall impression of you that I got from the anime is that you were always willing to help someone so long as it benefitted yourself, so long as you got something out of the deal," I told him. "So what do you get from me?"

"You make me out to be the villain, Uo, and that's not right, Aizen was the bad guy, remember?" He waved his fan at me.

"I'll figure it out later, Urahara, until then I have things I need to be doing," I sighed and stood up. "Thank you for the tea."
