As Shinji was walking back to the warehouse, he kept thinking to himself if he should tell the others or not. If he did he would end up getting yelled at and beaten for agreeing to something so stupid and risky. He knew it was stupid and risky, if the Gotei 13 found out the Ex-Shinigami with hollow powers were still alive, then there would be a massive witch hunt. After successfully hiding from them for 110 years, he didn't want to betray his own kin just because he owed a favor to that crazy scientist. Again another headache was starting to form and it was really starting to annoy him, the only other time he had these many headaches is when they escaped to the human world. Now standing in front of the warehouse, Shinji placed his on his face and groaned.

"I can't believe I'm doing something so damn stupid"

With a final sigh he stepped through Hachi's Kido barrier and was immediately greeted with a yellow sandal slapping him across the face.

"OI, HAGE SHINJI, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN !?"

Sighing for the hundredth time today, Shinji looked up at his attacker. "Who the hell are you brat and how didja get in here". He finished with a large smile.

Veins throbbing all over her forehead, Hiyori readied her sandal before Love interrupted her. "That's enough Hiyori, just let it go." From the way he said it, it sounded like he's done this over a thousand times.

Hiyori stared at Love for a couple seconds before scoffing, and sitting on one of the nearby crates.

Lisa peeked her head over her erotic manga and asked Shinji the million dollar question. "So Shinji, what is that Kisuke wanted ?"

Upon hearing the question he slightly tensed, which didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the Visored. Since they've been with each other for a hundred years, some of them even longer, they were able to read each other like books. Such as habits,ticks,etc. So when the unofficial leader of their group tensed, they knew it couldn't be something good.

Hachi, getting out of his meditative position, looked at Shinji with some concern in his golden eyes and asked him. "Is everything alright Shinji ?"

Looking at every single one of his kin, he sighed and motioned everyone towards him. In the process he laid down on the couch and closed his eyes for a couple seconds. The rest of the Visored looked at each other with some worry before stopping all their activities. Rose put down the guitar he was playing, Kensei stopped punching a punching bag, Mashiro stopped pacing around and mumbling to herself, and Lisa and Love put down their manga. They all soon surrounded Shinji, sitting on crates or just standing on their own.

The first one to break the silence was Kensei, "Alright Shinji, you better tell us what the hell is going on." He demanded with his usual stern voice.

Shinji just smiled and retorted with. "After all these years and ya still have that stick up yer ass."

The rest of them just snickered as Kensei growled at Shinji.

That all stopped when Shinji's smile dropped and his expression turned to a grim one, and gave a heavy sigh, damn he really needed to stop sighing, it's starting to make him sound old. He looked at everyone and then started his explanation regarding the strawberry brat. At first everyone was confused as to why he was telling a story of someone that didn't even know, but they let him continue. After talking about the kid's story like he was some sort of stalker, he then explained on how the brat almost turned into a full blown hollow in the shattered shaft, then everyone started to get the picture and listened with more interest. When Shinji finished with storytime, he looked at all of them to gauge their reactions. For the most part they all looked interested and confused.

Rose just ran his right hand through his wavy blonde hair and asked Shinji a question they all had in mind. "Your story sounds interesting and all Shinji, but….. What does it have to do with us, I mean I understand the kid possibly being a Visored but it doesn't mean we have to get involved." The rest of them just nodded in agreement and looked at Shinji once more.

Giving a grim smile, he decided to spill the beans. "As I told you, the kid is planning to infiltrate the Seireitei to save his midget girlfriend right ?" They all just nodded and motioned for him to continue. "Well, uh, Kisuke kinda wants me to, uh, help…..the kid in infiltrating,the uh…..Seireitei." He finished with a quiet voice, suddenly feeling very small around his kin.

It took every single one of them to process the information going through their head's before they gave the answer that Shinji was expecting.

"WHAT ?!"
