*ignores them* I don't own FMA and Bleach.

And on with the show!

TOUSHIROU'S P.O.V

I stared at Kurosaki in shock when he just barge in like that and grinned like an idiot he is. I mean, he just interrupted a freaking captain's meeting, for God's sake! I couldn't help but face palm. The captains will get angry at me sooner or later after this. This is what I get for bringing this idiot along with me.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, what are you doing here?" The Captain of the 2nd division, Soi Fon, asked the orange head in annoyance and a bit of amusement. Why she's amused, I wouldn't know.

Then, his grin face turned serious almost immediately. "I am here to report, Captain Soi Fon."

"You call her captain yet you don't do it to me." I mumbled and yes, I am being ignored once again.

"What is your report, then, Kurosaki? Can't you see we are having a meeting here? And why are you late, Captain Hitsugaya?" Head Captain Yamamoto said in his booming voice, which didn't have an effect on me since I already heard that voice a bit too much for my liking, but I guess Kurosaki's immune because he's used to it…? Or maybe he just sees the head captain the way he really is, I guess.

"Well, it's my fault that Toushirou's late." Twitch came from me. "And I apologize on his behalf. But that's not what I'm here…"

"We already know that. Speak."

"I.. uh…" he had this dumb look on his face again. I sighed and face palmed. I knew this would happen. Before I could speak, I felt Hyourinmaru trying to talk to me, trying to roar out of my inner world to tell a tale. i didn't know why, but I said this words "Materialize, Hyourinmaru." At the same time when Kurosaki said the same words to Zangetsu.

Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu stood behind us, glaring at each other as if they just had just fought.

We were all surprised, especially me. When did I know how to materialize him…? And why does he look human when in our world, he was a huge dragon?

"No, Zangetsu… don't tell them lies."

"As if I could tell a lie, Hyou-kun."

"Don't call me Hyou-kun, Zangetsu. It's Hyourinmaru." Wow, they're really the same as us.

"Whatever! They have to know! Your master needs to know! God, Hyou-kun, it's about our friend!"

"I don't have a friend except my master." A cold response to Hyourinmaru, which made Zangetsu glare at him more.

"Then Shinjitsu's sacrifice is in vain if you didn't consider him as your friend." He said with such hatred it made me and Kurosaki cringe. Why was he so angry all of a sudden…? "We have to save his master. He told me that his master's reiatsu's getting too uncontrollable for his liking. We have to find them before he turned into a hollow or something… or worse."

"What, you… spoke to him?" Hyourinmaru asked with his eyes widen, looking at Zangetsu in disbelief. "But… He..."

"We died too, remember? Or is it that you are too old to even remember?" Zangetsu asked sarcastically what he said. "Besides, by the sound of it his master achieved shikai and that's why he can communicate with us" he added, and looks at me and said "We need you to come with us as well, Snowy."

"S…SNOWY?!" I asked in rage, forgetting my unanswered questions, making the orange haired teen laugh and make me glare at him in response.

"It's. Not. Funny." I growled out, which he calmed down and grins at me.

"I know, sorry. Anyway, Zangetsu… you promised to explain it to me if I let you out. Do it, since the other captains doesn't look too fond of you and Hyourinmaru bickering in front of them." and indeed the other captains have mixed emotions: others look amused, others look disgusted at how the two act childishly while Byakuya Kuchiki just stared blankly at us than them. I shrugged and look at Hyourinmaru, who looks like he wants answers as well and is staring at Zangetsu.

Then, the zanpakuto sighed "Yes, yes I would explain if you all stop staring at me like I am an animal in a zoo or something."

"Maybe you are..." I heard Hyourinmaru muttered and I snickered, making Zangetsu glare at the two of us.

Suddenly I heard a thump beside me, and my eyes widen when I saw Kurosaki lying on the ground, passed out. Retsu Unohana, the captain of the 4th division, rushed beside him and checked his vital signs, though it was no need. I felt his reiatsu, all of us do, and it was getting weaker.

But before I could ask her about Kurosaki's health, i felt my head spinning. As I took a step forward, I felt like my body was made of lead and I, too, hit the ground with a thud and I stare at the rushing captains blankly until I see the world turn black.

NO ONE'S P.O.V

"It's much too soon for the humans to know our past."

"What are we going to do? We can't just do that to Hyourinmaru and Zangetsu. They're one of us!"

"I don't mind doing that to their masters but…"

"But if they continue to spill the beans when it is not the time, then we are all in danger."

"Or is it that you're too scared to admit that he's back?"

"Who's back?"

Silence followed, and the one who last spoke blinks.

"What?"

"It's him… Shinjitsu… he's back…"

"So? What if he's back?"

"It's either you are an idiot or you just isn't thinking right. Do you even know what his name means?!"

"Um... no."

"That figures. Senbonzakura, explain it to our lovely chap here." Insert sarcastic tone there.

'Why you little—"

"The meaning of that name is Truth."

All of their eyes widen in shock.

"That means…'

"Yes, it's almost powerful as God, and that means we should hope the master of Shinjitsu is not like him, his last master."

They nodded in agreement.

"But what about his master's brother?"

They all looked at the person who spoke. The speaker's beautiful eyes glance at everyone in the mysterious room with a serious look. "You do know that the two held a bond that should not be separated. He doesn't have enough reiatsu, but he still could be improved. Just like the friends of Kurosaki ichigo."

"… we hope that the brother would just be—"

"Try separating them, it's always bad news." A man with red hair and black coil eyes said, as he stepped out of the darkness. He was wearing a red kimono, its designs are flames. But other than his flaming hair, he looks normal than the others who habituated the room. Well, normal in the zanpakuto's eyes that is.

"Yamakaji, are you sure of what you had said?"

"Yes." Came an immediate response.

"And why do you know?"

He grins a bit, making the girls sigh in awe and men to roll their eyes until they heard him say:

"Because… My master is a friend of Shinjitsu's master."

EDWARD'S P.O.V

I let out a loud gasp as I sit up, and groan in pain when I felt a head ache. I hate it when I wake up like this. It sometimes happens when I hit my head on something hard, or I fell on bed. But how, I'm still on my be—oh wait I'm on the floor, that figures. I touched my chest because it has been bugging me after I get passed the head ache and-… I blinked a bit when I saw a chain on my chest, and I tried to take it out, but it won't really budge. Though it was hurting me every pull I do so I just let it be for now.

"Al? Al, where are you?" I yelled out, but Al didn't reply, nor did he even acknowledge my call. Weird, he always comes to my aid when I needed him. Maybe he wasn't here…?

That is, until I heard an explosion nearby, and I know that Al's in trouble since he, like me, helps people in need when they are in trouble, that's why I knew. So I stood up and ran out of the apartment to go towards where the explosion happened.

What I saw in front of me was NOT what I expected.

It was a monster, with its ugly face—mask?—looking down at something, and my eyes widen in fear when I saw it was Al's hand.

"AL!"

I ran towards the monster and hit its leg with my shoulder. I hissed in pain. It would leave a bruise there—wait, why does it hurt so much? I looked down at my right arm with wide eyes, and I shakily let out an exhale breath.

"FullMetal! What are you doing there?! Get out!" I heard a familiar voice screaming and I looked behind me to see Colonel Mustang wearing… a black kimono holding a sword? What the hell? I gave him an odd look, but he ignored me as he screamed yet again, now I hear fear and worry.

"Ed! GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE! ALPHONSE IS SAFE! HE'S AT MY OFFICE!" I sighed in relief when he said that, but I feel like I should follow his order once in a while. But it was too late when I felt claws wrapped around my body and I screamed in pain as the monster almost crushed my whole body, his one claw digging into my chest.

"FULLMETAL! SHIT!" I heard Mustang said, but I was too busy writhing and screaming in pain to really get it on my head. I never felt this kind of pain before, never in my life. I felt one tear came down on my face, and I sighed shakily when I realized that I was crying. Well, I think it's the end of me… It's over.. I could never get my brother's body back… I failed him... I'm sorry Al…

That is until I hear a familiar voice called out along with Mustang's voice.

"Burst them to flames, Yamakaji!"

"Shoot them all to death, Dangan no Sousen!"

Toushirou: *stares at the script blankly then at the author* really? That's all you could think of?

*blushes in embarrassment* it's not like I did that on purpose, y'know! I just... uh… i…

Ichigo: I think it's cool. I mean, shinigamis knowing alchemy and lives in another universe because of reasons and such.

Ed: Don't compliment her, idiot! She'll get a big head if you do!

… why are midgets so mean to me?

Toushirou&Ed: WHAT DOES THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN?!
