Chapter 3:

HOW THE HELL AM I GONNA GET HOME?!

The woman looked at me with a kind expression that made me feel a little sheepish at my outburst, but I didn't really care. She lifted her hand and sent out a dark little butterfly, but I wasn't too sure where it could have been hiding on her without getting smashed. Honestly, she looked familiar as well, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it...

"AHH! YOU'RE DOCTOR UNOHANA FROM THE FOURTH DIVISION OF SOUL SOCIETY!" She seemed even more shocked to hear me say that than when she had discovered me in the hospital bed.

"Why, yes I am. I'm not often recognized since I don't seem very powerful, but apparently you are knowledgeable of me. One quick question, how did you get into the medical ward? I don't remember you in any of the registered patients here, also you look unhurt."

"Ahh, that... I'm not too sure myself. I- oh crap! I completely forgot to go get the damn Mutt, Sadaharu, a new collar since Kagura snapped the last one when they were wrestling for the last piece of jerky!"

Yes. Looks like I confused her even more than before. Since Gin is alive, its probably in my best interest that they don't know I was with him- even briefly. These damn prejudicial bastards. If they even had the slightest thought that I was with Gin, then I'd probably get locked up along Aizen once they defeat the narcissistic psycho.

"Ok. So obviously, you don't remember how you got here, but you do have memories of being in Soul Society, right?" She asked, ignoring my attempt at distracting her. Her face was stern as she tried to pry for more answers as to my current predicament.

"Well, no. I don't live here."

"Wait, that's not possible. You must have died recently, that or you have amnesia."

"Oi Oi, I'm pretty sure I have all my memories, and I did NOT die." I made my best angry pouty face. "I'm not dead, I was knocked out. I would know if I'm dead. I can't explain everything here or now though..."

Her face softened again. Seems like I won't be able to escape from this little interrogation anytime soon.

"Well I was also wondering if-"

Unohana was cut off as another black butterfly- similar to the one she let loose earlier- had landed on her shoulder, relaying a message to her. She looked a little petulant and displeased that she'd been cut off, but at the same time she looked like she knew she'd get the answers she wanted from me soon enough.

"Excuse me, it seems you know my name and back ground, but I know nothing about you."

"Oh. Sorry sorry, the names Gintoki, Sakata Gintoki. I'm the boss at the Yorozuya."

"Hmm. I'm sorry, but I've never heard of it before."

"Aahh~ no problem, its not even from this dimen- er, area. Its a little run down place kinda far from here. No, really far from here. Uhh, I don't think you'd be able to find it."

"Ahh, ok. Gintoki, there is a Captain meeting being held in ten minutes, Commander Yamamoto has called you to attend. Let me remind you, this is not a request, but rather a demand. You can not, and should not even fathom defying this order."

"...Fine by me. I'll finally be able to meet that old codger myself. Hehe~"

Maybe my normal talking is too extreme for these uptight people. Especially considering the time period... Ugh... Everything I say seems like its so suspicious! Just look at the looks she's giving me! She's so trying to hide it, but I know she's being wary of me and keeping her guard up. I've got to keep up my guard too, considering since I've woken up here, I can feel remnants of my past blood lust flowing up. Well... I'm not sure what to call this. Its not really blood lust, but it feels like my inner strength. I better be careful. No telling what these guys'll do if they find out I know Gin AND am pretty powerful myself. I've gotta suppress this feeling or else I'll get caught.

...Time Skip...

(Ichigo's POV)

Back at Karakura...

It seemed like a regular day- seemed. Nothing was ever normal anymore with Soul Society on my back, making me a Substitute Shinigami, meeting someone of a supposedly exterminated people(Quincies), etc. This isn't my ideal life, but its satisfying knowing that I'm helping out, even if its secretly. Haha, I feel like a comic book superhero.

Anyways, I've been getting this weird feeling all day, like something life changing was going to happen. There weren't any real pressing issues today though. Just a few stray Hollows here and there, and some ghosts I've had to purify. It was almost nerve wracking how nothing was going on.

Lost in my mind, I had almost past by a body on the ground, but luckily, I was still somewhat observant of my surroundings. I back peddled a little and peered into the dark ally way, where the body seemed to lay.

"O-Oi, old man, are you alright?!" The poor guy had probably got mugged or something. "Tsk, poor geezer. Hey, are you alright?" I stepped closer and grabbed his arm, flipping him around and checking his pulse.

"Crap! This dude is dead!"

Wrapping my arms around his waist, I hoisted him over my shoulder. Just when I was about to leave, a black cat jumps in front of me, blocking my path. Great... more bad luck for the day? Haha. So not amusing. Glaring at the damn cat, it took me a while to realize that it was just Yorouichi in her feline form.

"Ichigo, since you're already here and holding that body, I need you to bring it to Urahahra's shop. This is urgent. Don't ask questions."

Yorouichi jumped onto a trash can and basically scaled the entire building until she reached the top just to sprint off the roof tops.

"I guess today isn't so normal after all, hehehe."
