Sorry it's been taking me so long I've finished my first draft of my novel so I've been a little too focused on that. This is where some of the Twilight story starts and remember I warned you at the beginning so please no flaming and there are also elements from filler arcs in this story so please don't flame if your against them.

Chapter 4: Goodbye

Dear Tatsuki

I wanted to say goodbye in person, but things with my family, in that edo area I was talking to you about last summer, has gotten weird again.


Tatsuki began to read the note at the beginning of class. She was the first to arrive and she was glad she had. Her friends were leaving her behind again. Ichigo, Orihime, she used to be so important to them and now she began to doubt if she really knew them anymore. Once being their protector, now she was the girl who sat on the sidelines, hoping that her friends would come back in one piece.

"Hey Tatsuki," Mizuiro said calmly as he and Keigo entered the classroom.

"Good morning Tatsuki!" Keigo screeched. "What is that you got there some one leave you a love letter?"

"No, nothing like that," Tatsuki said sorrowfully.


You may notice Chad, Uryu, and Ichigo won't be in class for a while. They are helping me, because some of the guys in this town are pretty shady characters.


Bella stood out in the middle of the field, where Edward had revealed his true nature. A vampire. The sun beat down on him like a catch of trailing starlight against the night sky. He wasn't here, all that remained of that special day was the decaying flowers that once were so beautiful even compared to the man that had meant the world to her.

She had wanted to see him, even if it was just a figment of some memory. She was after all certifiably insane at this point. Riding decrepit motorcycles, talking to older and scary men. She was insane. But most people are after having their heart broken.

Breathing in she felt a shock of cold air take over her. How stupid. She tried to imagine him saying but it came out sounding more like herself. The feeling intensified as a figure suddenly appeared in the decaying field. She could tell that it was a vampire due to the gust of wind wafted by their unnatural speed.

"Laurent," She let out. In her mind she let out a sigh of disappointment, but on the outside it came out with a tinge of excitement. If the nomadic vampire existed than all vampires must exist. They (and Edward) were not some kind of apparition created from some form of lunacy.

"Isabella Swan," He said a slight slither in his voice. "You would think that Edward would have made a point of keeping you from open... deserted places. Are you here alone?"

"Your in danger", the voice said. If not for the glorious an beautiful insanity it provided she would have responded, no duh Sherlock. But she fought the temptation of sarcasm in order to have the voice's blissful influence while her life was in peril. "Lie".

"I'm here with Edward actually," She stuttered through, "Lie better". "He's just off hunting. I thought you decided to join the Denali clan? Shouldn't you be up in Alaska?"

"Let's just say we had a misunderstanding," He said, his red eyes making it painfully apparent what misunderstanding he had with the 'vegi' vamp clan.

"Edward is going to be here any second," She began before another rush of speed forced her off guard.

"Bella, lying is a horrible habit especially lying to a vampire," He said being a breath away from the teenage girl.

"Hey!" A stern gruff voice said in the distance.

Both the vampire and the girl turned with a questioning look. Standing in the opening of the meadow was a bleach blond man in a black hakama and kosode. Drenched head to toe, water from his hair dripped down his stern chin. The most odd and disturbing feature was the cleaver like weapon which size was nearly half the size of the man's body. The hilt of the blade was covered with white bandages with the end waving in the wind.

"You need to get out of here," Bella let out, great now is such a perfect time to be selfless. "You don't understand..."

"It couldn't be..." Laurent interrupted as he left Bella's side. "Tell me who you are friend."

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki substitute Soul Reaper."

"A Soul Reaper... There hasn't been the likes of you here for nearly one hundred years. My name is Laurent I am a vampire. Our two species goes back a ways."

"Vampires? You mean Bount? Man I thought we got rid of you guys," Ichigo said as Laurent motioned further. A glint of light hit his skin causing it to shimmer and glint causing Ichigo to glint his eyes. "Wait so you're a shiny Bount?"

"Bount? Maybe your talking about this first one, our ancestor."

"It's not like this isn't interesting shiny Bount, but why don't you just stop bothering the girl and we can call it a day?" He offered acting bored.

"Unfortunately, I am here for a purpose Soul Reaper, a request of a friend actually."

A friend... "Victoria? Is she here?"

"Who's Victoria, another shiny Bount?"

"Pardon me Bella, I think we need to get rid of our unwanted guest," He said as he quickly rushed at Ichigo.

To his surprise he did not appear in front of Ichigo as he expected. Instead Ichigo placed himself in front of Bella with his arms spread out. With a growl of anger the vampire rushed with a clawed like hand. Unrelenting Ichigo swung Zangetsu severing with a grinding crunch. Laurents hand landed in the sunlight looking more like marble. Growling in pain he stopped dead in his tracks.

"I didn't want to do this but the treaty has been broken by you being here Soul Reaper," He said as he jumped back.

Searching through his dredlocks he pulled out a small string of hair. Ordained with beads and orange ribbon. Putting it in front of him it seemed to create a pulse of palpable energy.

"Zeige Dich, Leopardenjäger!"


I don't want you to worry about us. In fact you should use this time to get closer to friends like Keigo, Mizurio, even Chizuru. Maybe you'll even make some new friends.


Lief sat on the bleachers of the Quiditch field with his legs and arms folded in a pout. First years were attempting to raise their brooms into the air. Flying into the air Cormac wafted towards Lief who seemed unburdened.

"Would you like to join the rest of the class?" He asked somewhat annoyed at the ex-Arrancar's flippancy.

"This is a first year class, I have flown on a broom before," Lief said only his mouth moving.

"Well if your such a whiz at it why don't you show off a bit to your peers then?" Cormac suggested.

"Wonderful idea," Lief said as he began to furrow his brow.

With all of his might he created sheaths of Reishi in front of him. Straining he stepped on them. Astounded the first years stopped trying to raise their brooms and instead gawked at Lief who appeared to them to be walking on air. The illusion only lasted a few steps when the last ounce of his Spiritual Pressure collapsed.

Falling with a shocked look Lief scram out as he descended towards the ground. In a nose dive Cormac speedily declined beating Lief's decent. Grabbing Cormac's hand Lief dangled kicking. Slowly they made there way to the ground. Lief was all but safe until Hermione entered the field wavering Cormac's concentration. Yelping Lief landed on his butt. All of the children then began to flock around as Cormac landed next to Hermione.

"Smooth," Hermione said with folded arms and a raised eyebrow. "What part of keeping him under a low profile do you not understand?"

"I was trying to get him to the field to practice with the others," He protested. "He's a little bit of a stubborn ass I'm afraid."

"You'd think you two would get along swimmingly," She said as she tried to disperse the crowd. "Nice job Lief, but that spell is way to advance for you."

"What spell?" Lief began before Hermione flashed him a venomous look. Lief than replied with little enthusiasm. "Oh yes that spell, I guess I am sadly to inexperienced a wizard to perform that spell."

"Wow what spell is that I would love to do that spell. I bet I'd be let in early into the Quiditch team if I could levitate off my broom," A blond first year boy beamed.

"Oh, if Lief here is having trouble's mastering it I doubt you would have much luck," Hermione said dragging Lief away.

"Are you here to take over, I thought I was to watch him for the rest of my class?" Cormac said confused.

"No, Yoruichi has been searching the grounds and she has found someone, they think Lief and that other Arrancar might have left something behind. McGonagall wants us to meet in her office as soon as your class is over."


I know you like to worry about me but I've grown a lot stronger than you realize. I want you to stop worrying about me. You've spent so much of your life protecting me, I worry that you have lost so much time. Please just have fun.

I will speak with you soon.

Love

Innoue Orihime


Tatsuki finished as Misato Ochi finished introducing a new transfer student, Kyōko Haida. Still wearing her uniform from her former school, a light blue sweater compared to the tan ones the Karakura High School students wore. Her black hair was short in a peculiar style that the bangs curled framing beneath her eyes. She was extremely silent feeling uncomfortable in front of the class. She only looked up once, looking straight at Tatsuki with a knowing a sympathetic look.

Class crawled by slowly for Tatsuki. Anger and frustration building in her that was only increased as Kyōko looked at her, her framed eyes unnerving her. When the bell finally rang the new girl walked and stood at the edge of her desk.

"What do you want?" Tatsuki said with a small amount of venom in her voice.

"Ewww, I think the new girl might have a crush on you Tatsuki," Chizuru said as she inserted herself flirtatiously into the conversation. "Well Kyōko, I don't think your Tatsuki's type but if she rejects you my arms are always open."

"I know you'll probably think I'm just a freak, but I know where Orihime is going, she's going straight into danger." Kyōko explained unnerved by Chizuru's advances.

"Freaky I could get into that," Chizuru said before realizing something. "Wait, what are you talking about my 'Hime. I don't think you've even met her before."

"I haven't."

"Come on Chizuru don't you know it's my job to oogle the new girls," Keigo said as he and Mizuiro joined the conversation.

"Will all of you just shut up and let her finish!" Tatsuki said jumping from her desk, causing all of them to freeze in fear.

"Orihime, Uryū, Chad, and someone named Rukia is going to dive into a river in Karakura town. But they aren't going to die. It is taking them to some place."

"I think I know what river your talking about," Tatsuki said as she seemed to be sensing outwards. "How do you know these things, did you read the letter?"

"No, I sometimes can see glimpses. Things that are going to happen. Sometimes it's just feelings. This time, it's both," Kyōko said almost looking ashamed. "We have to try and stop her or she'll be in danger, all of them will be."

"How long do I have to reach her?" Tatsuki said with determination.

"About an hour."

"Wait Tatsuki," Mizuiro said taking a heated glare without flinching. "I need to grab some supplies. You can't do this alone."

"I'm coming to," Chizuru blurted out. "Nobody is putting my 'Hime in danger!"

"I want to come to, everybody leaves me out all of the time!" Keigo cried out in a tantrum.

"Fine Mr. Asano, you can come aswell," Mizuiro said with a flat expression. " Kyōko, we may need your talents can we count you in?"

"Yes," She said a happy expression coming over her face.

"Fine, everyone meet back here in twenty minutes," Tatsuki said as they all went there own separate ways.


Urahara and Tessai stood away from the four friends as they stood at the edge of the bridge on Karasu river.

"Now the four of you have to go in the exact same spot in the river. The current will take you to a fork in the river. Each of you will have to pair up and each pair will go down a separate part of the river. Now does everyone have their swim partner."

"Yes Mr. Urahara!" Orihime beamed holding up Uryū's hand.

"Well I can't kick Ichigo's ass if he's in a totally different dimension now can I," Uryū said with a huff.

"Rukia, and I are going together," Chad said simply.

"How are we getting back after we find Ichigo and Hiyori?" Rukia asked.

"This is a wind seed," Urahara said holding up two small seeds. "Placing the seed in the water changes the flow of the current for five minutes from down stream, to up stream. Leading you back to Karakura town. I'll put these seeds in a water proof pouch make sure they don't come in contact with water or you'll be stuck tell someone can get you out."

"Mr. Urahara," Orihime said softly as Urahara turned towards her. "Will you tell Shinji thank you for us? For protecting Karakura town."

"I don't believe thanks are necessary. You forget that Karakura town is their home as well. Besides all they have is each other I think you'll find that they will be grateful for you when you bring Hiyori back," Urahara said as he handed Orihime and Rukia the small pouches.

"Thank you," Orihime said as the four turned toward the river. "The spot can't you feel it?"

"Yes," Uryū said looking down. "It's so odd that we hadn't noticed it before."

"You two be careful," Chad said in his deep tenor.

"We will," Orihime said as the four climbed up onto the railings of the bridge.

The four dived all at once, and with a glow disappeared into the water with a flash. Suddenly in the distance a strange sight came blurring towards the bridge. Mizurio, Tatsuki, Keigo, Kyōko, and Chizuru, all wearing a small breathing mask, all tied together with wire rope. Mizurio had a large back pack that seemed too full for a standard student's bag.

"Rukia and Chad I think should be fine, and Kyōko's vision seems that Orihime will be in more danger so no matter what you do you follow Orihime," Tatsuki explained as they all rushed by a shocked Urahara.

In a single line the five high school student's dived in.
