Ichigo's case

Hello: Hat
Hello: Ichigo
Hello: Hollow Ichigo
Well, right now, apparently this fanfic is before the kidnap of Inoue Orihime and the winter war. But Kurosaki Ichigo is the new captain of the 14th unit ( unlike the other units they go to the human world more frequently and once they takes up a mission they will travel around like a human to take care of hollows while the other units go straight back to soul society after their mission. They do return to Soul Society but quite seldom. They do not have rules from Soul society mostly because the rules in Soul Society can only be applied on Shinigamis but as the 14th unit consists of humans too. New rules will only be made once a new central 46 is made. The 14th unit is an independent unit and only relies on itself for sources unless necessary. Because of that the 14th unit is not directly under Yamamoto Genryuusai or the Central 46. They have their own research unit run by Urahara Kisuke and its own medical unit run by Inoue Orihime.) Kuchiki Rukia has became 14th unit's vice-captain. While Abarai Renji will remain as the vice-captain of the 6th unit.
Kurosaki Ichigo had successfully taken control of his Hollow with the help of the Visoreds.
Thank you Ziya Hitsugaya for the wonderful suggestion
Chapter 5
"This is impossible!" Rukia exclaimed. She stood up and slammed her hand on the bed post in anger. The whole bed shook from the impact.
"Calm down, Kuchiki." Toushiro said as he read through the file once more, "All the evidence is in this file whether we like it or not."
Their frantic conversation turned to quiet whispers once Harry came up stating that he wanted some rest.
"When Soul Society gained information that Aizen had allied with Voldemort, I knew he would thought of something more clever. However, I would never thought that this would happen." Renji said, shaking his head in his hands.
"Well, it just did." Ichigo said, " Aizen Sosuke had already taken over the ministry of Magic."
"That bastard!" Renji hissed.
Toushiro got up as he put on his robe. "I got to inform Soul Society about this." He turned to leave but was stopped by Ichigo's grip on his arm.
"Don't inform them. If Soul Society knows, they won't hesitate to execute anyone here, including Harry and we don't want that do we cause' from what I heard its stated in the prophecy the Harry would be the one that defeats Voldemort. If he's gone, who else is going to? I don't think there's another Harry Potter in this world." Ichigo whispered.
Toushiro scowled. Even though he does not wants to admit it, Ichigo was right. Harry is a very important player in both the wizard war and the Winter War. But it wasn't easy. He wasn't sure about Voldemort but Aizen is a really clever person, he would not be fooled so easily and he would not let anyone foil his plan without having a plan against it. He hesitated for awhile before finally giving up and sat down on the bed again. "So what do we do now?" he asked.
"We can call some Shinigamis." Rukia suggested.
Ichigo nodded his head in agreement. "We can. It is obvious that we can't call anyone from the first 13 unit as the 12th unit is keeping track of Shinigamis going through the Senkaimon. So the my unit is the only one that we can use. But our unit is lacking in people right now. Most of them is all around the world because of Aizen Sousuke and his hollows." he said, "So we better call them when we absolutely need it which isn't now as nothing bad popped up yet."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. However they had a really bad feeling that the "bad" thing that will pop up will happen really soon.
The next day
Harry crept into the deserted common room and sat in his favourite chair. As he unscrewed the ink bottle, he thought about the behaviour of his friends in their dorms. It was strange. The normally calm and cool Toushiro is hiding and shivering under the blanket. Renji who would usually start snoring and kicking in his sleep is now sleeping like a cat. The quiet and peaceful sleeping form of Ichigo had turned to someone drooling and murmuring something about woman. Yep, it was really strange.
Unknown to him, the real Toushiro, Renji ,Ichigo and Rukia was sliding open the window of their dorms and onto their bed and fell back into their sleeping bodies. Green ball candy flew out of their mouths. Toushiro and Renji said something about needing to sleep before closing the curtains. That left Ichigo who could not sleep for unknown reasons. And since he had nothing better to do with a room filled with sleeping people, he climbed of the bed and down the stairs. He could not help but notice the fact that Harry was already awake and that there was a drool stain down his chin. Damn Kon! As he reached the common room, he saw Harry writing something. As quietly as possible, he tip-toed behind him and read behind his back. It was a letter to someone called Snuffles. His curiousity took over and he asked, "Who's Snuffles, Harry?"
As suspected, the unaware Harry jumped at least a metre high in the air before quickly folding the letter and stuffing it into his pocket. "N... Nothing." Harry replied.
Ichigo's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Are you sure? Because nobody writes a letter to an imaginary person."
Harry paled at this statement before scratching his nose. "You're right. Snuffles is a nickname I gave to Ron's cousin. His real name is Sam."
He's hiding something from me, Ichigo thought. He made a mental note to wake Renji up that night to find who the real Snuffle is before smiling. "Is that all? That's nothing much to lie about isn't it?"
Harry laughed nervously and muttered an apology.
On the Quidditch fields
Toushiro stared at Harry as they walked into the stadium. They split as Ron and Harry made their way to the field, and Hermione, Renji, Rukia and him sat on a bench. Ichigo had disappeared when they made their way to the Great Hall. The strange thing was during breakfast, Ron, Hermione and Harry was reading the newspaper like their life depended on it. And Ron had cried, "Isn't he the one from the o-" Toushiro wasn't sure what "o" stands for but it did certainly aroused his suspicion. He would search about later in the afternoon.
Meanwhile
Peeves was floating freely in the room, listening to an orange head boy speaking. Normally he won't do this but the boy had intrigued him. Unlike ordinary wizards here, he gave off the odour of death. He isn't stupid. He could sense that there was 4 more in the school however this one gave a stronger odour than the rest. It was like there was another being that resides in him that has a huge thirst for death and was powerful enough to have it. No, it wasn't as simple as seeing someone dying or being some random murderers he hear the students whisper about, it was as if the person was death itself. He feared the boy, it was simple as that. And thus, he respect the boy. He respect him as much as the Bloody Baron. The reason for doing so was because nobody could be death. Heck, nobody could be even close to it. Not Harry Potter, not the other ghost in the school, not him and that was saying a lot since he is already dead.
"Like I was saying, there will be something bad that will happen to Hogwarts but nobody knows it yet." Ichigo said, "And since they don't know about it yet, I have come to ask for your help."
"And why ours?" the usual playful tone in his voice gone as Peeves asked in a serious manner.
"Thats because people won't grow suspicious when you travel into place. And you guys are ghosts and we handle ghost better then we handle humans or wizards or whatever." Ichigo explained, "There is a saying that the more complicated a person is, the weaker they are. Ghost aren't complicated and thus you are strong."
Peeves gave a thoughtful face despite knowing the answer in his heart or brain or soul. "Sure. Is the other ghost joining too?" he said.
"I have no idea. I would most certainly ask them but it's up to them whether they want to join or not." Ichigo replied, a small smile on his face. He was obviously happy with the reply he got.
Peeves nodded his head. He was certain that the other ghost wouldn't reject the idea of helping him.
Ichigo bowed his head and muttered a "Thank You" before leaving the room. Peeves' smile returned to his face as he thought gleefully about his plans to ruin Umbridge's day.
On the Quidditch fields
Rukia saw Ichigo running towards them, the usual scowl gone as a smile settled over his face. "Yo, Ichigo, what are you so happy about?" she asked.
"Just creating a personal group of helpers." came the reply.
"Oh."
The group on the bench stared as Harry whizzed around in the sky on his broom while Ron flew right and left trying to block the balls from going through the hoops. They all clapped (Toushiro too even if he was a teeny bit reluctant) as Ron managed to save 5 out of 5. Harry had landed to give him a round of applause too. Ron grinned sheepishly and walked to them. Angelina Johnson, who from what they heard from Hermione was the captain walked towards them and stared at them.
"Um... What do you want?" Renji asked as he was starting to feel uncomfortable under her gaze.
"Oh, nothing much. I had just realise that some of you would fit perfectly in our Quidditch teams." Angelina said, "The red head here has arm muscles, perfect for a Beater or a Chasers. This raven haired and this white haired though small, is strong and fast. The orange haired one has good reflexes and is strong. If you ask me, I think you guys are fit to be in any spot in the team and since we have limited people, do you want to be the reserve?"
The 3 looked at her, eyebrows raised. There was an awkward silence.
Rukia was the first to break it. "Right..."
"Sure..."
"Okay..."
"Are you sure the heat's not getting to your brains?"
Harry snickered at the last comment but quickly stopped once Angelina glared at him. "Why not? It's not as if you suck at sports or anything." he pointed out.
"Right..." Renji said, "See, the problem is, Harry, we have completely no idea how to ride a broom."
"Thats no problem. We can teach you." Angelina said.
Toushiro inwardly winced at the ridiculous image of him riding a broom. There was some mutters of agreement from his colleagues, namely Rukia and the next thing he knew, he was holding a dirty broom in hand. He sighed. There was absolutely no way to escape this.
"Now hold your hand above the brooms and say 'up'." told Harry.
"Up." Ichigo said in a bored tone. Surprisingly, the broom flew into his hand immediately. Everyone else managed to do the same.
"Wow... You guys are naturally abled to play Quidditch then. "Harry joked.
They pent the next few minutes flying in the air. Even though there was trouble at first when the Slytherins began making fun at Ron, they managed to master the basics of flying.
A few hours past and by noon, they were officially the substitutes of Gryffindor's Quidditch team.
