I'm sorry Ladies and Gentlemen for the long wait but I have been very busy lately so as reward for your patience I'm going to introduce a new concept into my story before we start so please enjoy. Thanks and remember to review please.
Bleach Hierarchy
Shinigami Squad Divisions = Hollow Klans
1x Captain = 1x Vasto Lorde
1-Many Vice-Captain(s) = 1-Many Adjuchas
Many Seated Officers = Many Gillians

******
Vizard Clans = Arrancar Squad Divisions
1x Warlord = 1x Espada
1-Many Vice-Warlords = 1-Many Fraccion
Many Seated Clansmen = Many Numeros
Many Unseated Clansmen = Many Privaron Espada
[From now on I'll write ideas, and notes up here]
(Grunt: a normal hollow, most basic form of hollow)

In the black nothingness of the Dangai that is the space between dimensions, a small group of hollows waited.
"So are we ready to begin," said the cold voice to his subordinates.
"Hai," shouted the grunt hollows.
"Adjucha-sama, are you sure we can get him, I mean we only get one shot with that thing!" said # 105, one of the Klan members.
"We will get him or we don't go home understood," the Adjucha said coldly.
"Hai," whimpered #105.
"Hmm," said the vice leader as he waited for his trackers to return.

Meanwhile, two familiar shinigami were beginning their training with a spar inside of Urahara's shop in the underground training grounds. Rukia and Ichigo rushed at each other clashing blades in a sort of dance of death. Both of them were using there zanpakuto to land an attack on the other. Finally both of them stopped their dance and began to catch their breath.
"Ok, I think we're ready to start your training," panted Rukia.
"Right," replied Ichigo.
"Hmm, okay what to start with… oh! How about we start with swordsmanship and work our way up," said Rukia.
"Why are you teaching me something I already know," questioned Ichigo.
"Well you don't actually know this you just swing your sword on instinct rather than skill," replied Rukia in a matter of fact way.
"Fine," replied Ichigo annoyed.
"Now get into your stance and we will start," said Rukia now in Sensei mode.

A shadowy figure jumped onto the top of the highest building in Karakura.
"Leader-sama, we found him," said a feminine voice in a sing song matter.
Two dark figures stood on top of a building looking across at the city before them.
"Good, now report his location to me and prepare our troops," stated a commanding voice.
"He is in a small shop not too far from here," she said.
"Let us head out and hurry," said the man.

Meanwhile back in the Dangai the hollows wait impatiently.
"Leech-san, Leech-san what are we waiting for again?" said # 123.
"Argh, for the last time its number 105, and we are waiting for the boss orders to attack our target you nitwit," said Leech.
"Oh yeah I forgot, Lockjaw hungry now," said Lockjaw as his stomach growled.
"Geez can't you do anything else besides being stupid and hungry," Whined Leech.
"Lockjaw can't help it he has an angry stomach," said Lockjaw in a daze of stupidity.
"Just wait because soon you can have all the humans you can eat," said Leech.
"Hehe, Lockjaw can't wait to eat delicious humans," said the over grown shark hollow.

Pant, Pant, Pant, wheezed the tried duo as they finished up their practice. They walk over to the nearest rock to sit down. Rukia who had given Ichigo the basics of stances and techniques on sword fighting was more tired than Ichigo. She had to admit that he had impressive stamina when it came to fighting. It was like he was made to be a shinigami with his amazing ability to learn how to master his powers so quickly.
While she was in deep in thought she carelessly tripped over a rock and started to fall. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact but it never came. She opened her eyes to see what stopped her from falling, only to find her face in Ichigo's chest. A blush spread across her cheeks as she pushed herself away from Ichigo's recuing embrace.
"Hey squirt, be more careful you could have fell if I wasn't here," said Ichigo smirking at her.
"B-be quiet, I could have stopped it myself you fool," shuddered Rukia clearly embarrassed.
Ichigo laughed at her reaction and fact that she, Rukia Kuchiki, had was tripped by a small rock but he was totally oblivious to the real reason her face had turned pink, it was because her head was resting on his rock hard chest.
She had only just now had realized that Ichigo wasn't just a 15 year old teenager but an attractive young man. Rukia bet that he had the body of god under his clothes but mentally cursed herself for such perverted thoughts. Soon more of these thoughts filled her head along with images of him doing perverted things so that her whole face turned red.
"Well Rukia lets go back home and get to sleep, I'm beat," said Ichigo while yawning.
"Yeah let's go," agreed Rukia.

They walked on the streets of karukura town peacefully until they the heard a hollow screech. Both Ichigo and Rukia were shocked that there Hollow sensing equipment hadn't gone off but that was the least of their problems right now because five grunt hollows appeared out of thin air right in front of them. They quickly changed into their soul forms and began battling the beasts.
"Ichigo, I don't know what is going on but let's stick close because I have a bad feeling about this," said Rukia worried.
"All right," agreed Ichigo.
The duo slashed and hacked at their foes until they were slain. Their swords were newly painted with crimson fluid of their attackers. Then our heroes felt a new power surge near them and fell into stance once again.
"Well, well, well is this the infamous Kurosaki Ichigo that stands before me," said a mysterious voice.
"Who the hell are you?" shout Ichigo angrily.
"Your demise," said the voice ominously.
Then a large tiger-like hollow appeared like the rest. His long grey claws dug fiercely into the ground. His long fangs and sharp teeth dripping with saliva as his tongue licked his lips lusting for the shinigami flesh that was before him. His huge eyes staring intently at their prey as he readied himself to pounce at our heroes.
"My orders were to capture Kurosaki, but anyone else who gets in my way I'm allowed to devour," He said hungrily, "#105, # 123, subdue Kurosaki while I eat his little friend,"
"Hai," they shouted in unison as they appeared like the rest.
The two stood before the strawberry, one was a big shark-like hollow with a big maw layered with sharp teeth. While the other was about Rukia's height and was a long skinny leech-like hollow. They charged Ichigo ready to engage in battle.
"Okay then bring it on!" shouted Ichigo as he raised his zanpakuto.
