"Why do you obey that thing?!" Aizen screamed to Kisuke, as the seal placed on him grew stronger. Kisuke looked down,before he opened his mouth. "'That thing'...Do you mean the Spirit King?

Soul Society would splinter if not for the Spirit King.

He is the linchpin. Without the Linchpin ,Soul Society would crumble easily;

That is how the world works."

When the Spirit King created the Ōken, He knew that one day there would be a being that would try to recreate it, a being that would try to become King itself. So He did something that not even the rest of the royal family knew existed. He took the four main components of the key ,life, death,order ,and chaos ,and chose four humans to bear years it has been transferred from one generation to another.

That was at least 10,000 years ago.

Chapter one- New Home

"Wake up! Rex wake up,we arrived!" A loud smack could be heard throughout room. "Rex!" A dark skinned teen opened his orange eyes slowly to see his dad standing over him, holding on to his duffel bags.

"Huh?" The teen asked half asleep.

"Come on! We're in Japan, the plane landed like five minutes ago! We're the only ones on...besides the stewardess." Upon hearing this , Rex sat up abruptly , adjusted his orange jacket, and looked around to see an almost empty plane.

"Come on!" His father said as he walked off the plane with his duffel bags. The son grabbed his own ,before walking down the steps and off the plane.

On the ground,He stretched and watched as his dad was already making his way to the airport. When they finally walked in ,they saw a man dressed in a black suit and hat, who held up a sign that read. "Michaels!" in red marker. "Is that our chauffeur?" Rex asked as he pushed past several people.

"Yup." His father, who was easily making his way through the crowd, answered before he approached the driver.

"Michaels, of 2?" The chauffeur asked as he took the sign down. The father nodded and went to shake the man's hand but stopped abruptly.

"I'm Anthony Michaels." The father said with a slight bow ,before the chauffeur did the same. "And this is my son Richard." Rex looked up from his phone ,upon hearing his name.

"Hey." He waved, before rubbing his fingers past his buzz cut hair; his middle finger running past a part on the right side.

"Well ,welcome to Japan!" The chauffeur smiled before he gestured them to the car. "Here ,I'll take your bags." The driver said as he grabbed the luggage from the two and opened the door. Once inside ,Rex closed his phone and leaned his head against the window and looked outside. There were a lot of people going about their business, some hurried , while others leaned against walls and waited. He looked away from the window and to his father , who was making small talk with the chauffeur,before closing his eyes.

After for what seemed like an hour or so ,the car finally stopped, and suddenly there was a flash. Rex was brought out of his sleep, a little string of drool hung on the corner of his mouth as he looked up to see his father conspicuously stuffing a camera in his pocket. The teen rubbed his mouth, before looking to his dad, putting all the pieces together. "You didn't." Rex said as he sat up.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lied Anthony as he turned to get out the car. "Besides your mom needs to see some of these pictures, she's been texting me non stop during the ride." The chauffeur tried not laugh, but failed.

"I'll get your your luggage out." He said as he opened the doors, then retrieved their belongings from the trunk.

"Well ,we're here!Right In the heart of Karakura!" announced as he looked at the three story house that stood before him. Rex climbed out of the car , as he grabbed one of his bags, and turned to face his new home.

"Wow." He said as he watched his father walk up the driveway and to the door.

"It's a nice place." The chauffeur spoke as he closed the trunk, and handed Rex his other bag. "Be careful though." Rex gave the the driver a confused look, but the man continued. "A lot of strange things tend to happen in this town."

"What do you mean?" The teen frowned as he took his bag from the elder.

" What I mean is that things happen that shouldn't. Such as Buildings crashing out of the blue, or strange disappearances of citizen and even sightings of...ghosts."

Rex felt a chill run up his spine when he heard the last part, but covered it up with another of his frowns. "Rex are you coming?" His father yelled from the doorway.

"Oh, uh, yeah!" Rex replied before he turned back to chauffeur, who simply nodded before driving away.

"Wow , look at this place. It even has that new house smell." The black haired teen said in amazement as he walked in. "And it has all our stuff-" He was cut off as he tripped over the floor that was a little higher than the walk-in area.

"PFFT." Was the sound his father made as he looked at him and tried to hide his laughter. "Anywho, I had the movers arrange everything to our liking..well my liking in here, so it'd be ready when we arrived."

A yawn escaped the teen as he searched for the couch. "That's great. I'm just gonna get some more sleep-"

"No can do!" Anthony said as moved his pointer finger from side to side. "It's the time difference." He explained as he put on his glasses. "It's 4pm here , while in the Delaware it's 4am, so!" He said as he pulled out a list from his pocket. "I made us a list of things we can do , to pass the time together!"

Upon hearing this, the teen's left eye twitched. /No way am I doing that!/ Rex thought before he cleared his throat. "It's fine. I'll just walk around the neighborhood."

"Suit yourself."His dad said he started off to the back. "I'm gonna check out the pool. Don't get lost!"

"I won't." Rex replied before walking out the door. He straightened out his black T-shirt before walking out the driveway and began to wander the neighborhood. According to his phone, he was in the middle of the Mitsumiya District, and he wasn't but a block or two away from his house. He made a mental note of that and continued walking, passing shops , and a park with a sign that read 'Karakura Community Park' , until he made a right a bumped into a brown spiky haired teenager that looked to be at least 18.

The teen had several scars. One on the end of his neck, another one his lip, and another one on his right cheek. Everything about this guy said delinquent or thug. "WATCH WHERE YOU GOING PUNK! The Delinquent yelled with a frown.

Rex raised an eyebrow and tried to remember the word for sorry. "No." He replied and started walking away, when the thug looked at his two buddies behind him.

"You lookin for a fight?!" The thug asked as he grabbed Rex's shoulder. Rex frowned before he faced the scarred teen, who leaned in. "I said you lookin for a fi-" The thug was suddenly sent falling back; a trail of blood and teeth following him. The thug hit the asphalt with a thud before murmuring something and leaning his head back on the pavement.

"And here I was trying to be nice. I even said 'Sorry'." Rex grinned as he drew his fist back and watched as the two goons looked at each other , before pulling a bat and a pipe.

"Ya' gonna regret doing that!" The goon with the bat said as he swung at Rex, who dodged it barely, before throwing a jab at him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Rex could see a blur of metal racing towards him, before getting knocked back a couple of feet. The world was spinning , as the dazed teen tried to regain his bearings, but not before being struck in the thigh. The wounded teen fell to the ground , the world still spinning as blood trickled down his lip.

The two goons said something that was incomprehensible , before advancing towards Rex.

The one with the bat swung at him a few more times but the outnumbered fighter somehow managed to block them. The one with the pipe , raised his arms above his head before bringing them down; the steel weapon racing straight toards Rex, who instinctively closed his eyes.

There was a sound of quick footsteps, shuffling feet, a yell ,and finally a thud. Rex opened his eyes to see that the thug with the pipe was on the ground ,knocked out only a few feet away from the leader. When his eyes refocused he saw a guy with dark hair tied in the back with a black band, confront the one with the bat. The thug swung at him, but the dark haired teen quickly dodged and brought up his knee into the delinquent's stomach.

The bat dropped to the ground, before the man that held it followed suit, spit landed a few inches in front of him. The dark haired teen looked down at the now unconscious thug, before he turned to Rex, who quickly got to his feet. As the teen stepped forward, Rex could see his features.

The guy that stood before him had dark purple shoulder length hair that was pulled back into a short spiky ponytail. A stand of hair hung just above his left eye, which a had a scar that started just above his eyebrow and ended a little below his eye.

"You good?" He asked as in japanese as he approached the teen.

"I don't speak Japa-" Rex was cut off as the teen that stood before him looked surprised.

"Huh? You speak english? My bad , I'm Ryohei." Ryohei said as he stretched out his hand. "These are the local thugs. Don't mind them."

"I'm Rex." The teen said as he shook the other's hand. "Why do you speak english so well?"

Ryohei took a step back and looked at the questioning male surprised. "I'm speaking english?! I thought you were speaking Japanese!"

"You just asked me if I spoke english..." Rex said as he gave a mundane look to the dark haired teen.

"I'm kidding!" Ryohei announced with a grin. "I'm actually the top English speaker in my class. Anywho, you got beat up pretty bad. I hold classes at 3pm on weekdays and 2 on Saturdays at the school! You should come, unless you wanna get beat up again."

Rex furrowed his eyebrows and wiped the blood off his lip. "What school are you talking about?"

Ryohei grinned. "At Karakura High School!"

Rex wiped the blood off his hand and onto his black pants as he turned away from Ryohei. "Well , thanks Ryohei , but I'm gonna go." He walked off , and started making his way back home.

Ryohei shrugged before walking away. After a few minutes Rex walked into the house. "Dad, I'm back!" He said as he looked around and walked to the back. "Dad?" To his frustration he saw his dad sleeping in the pool. "You told me to stay up!" Rex yelled. a vein appeared on his forehead, as the father continued to sleep.

Somewhere else in Karakura, the peace is disrupted by a loud explosion. Out of the smoke a guy with a torn green shirt ran, stumbling over a rock or two. His breaths were shallow and quick as he searched for an escape. Out of the corner of his eye he saw three blurs on nearby roofs chasing after him; the sunset making them stand out. He turns a corner in an alley and looks out to see the figures going in another direction.

He let out a sigh of relief and placed his hands on his thighs as he caught his breath, sweat and tears fell from his face. "They got them, they got them all..Mom , dad, Asuka-NO!" The young teen said as he stood . "I got keep a clear head, I need to stay focused." He said as he turned around, but walked head first into something..someone.

The masked figure shrouded in black grabbed the boy who quickly struggled before the masked figure grabbed his neck and disappeared. No trace of the teen or the figure was left, besides an open cell phone which was left on the ground, where the he stood.

"Hey wake up, wake up...Rex!" A voice yelled before a slap echoed throughout the living room. "Wake up!" His father yelled as the teen grabbed his shoulder and looked at the clock, which read "11:00pm". "Good! Now that you're awake!" His father began. "I hope that you've been studying the language, because school starts next week!" Rex rubbed his head, still groggy.

"Huh? Where?"

His father smiled as he walked into the kitchen.

"Karakura High School!"
