Maya stared at the three Soul Reapers in shock; obviously they were in shock too seeing how they're staring at a girl, that they hadn't even heard from in a few months and was supposedly STILL in Soul Society that was right in front of them. "So…who wants to perform the Konso?" Ichigo asked, pulling his sword out.

"Crap, gotta think of something witty! Something they would never expect!" Maya started thinking before even realizing that she was shouting, "Kurain Channel technique number forty-two!" The three of them stared at her, waiting for something to happen; Maya took the chance and started running back to Nick and Pearl, thinking she heard Renji laughing.

Ichigo ran after her, shouting, "Hey, get the hell back here so we can send your ass back to Soul Society!" Renji and Rukia looked at each other and ran out after the two, shouting after them.

Nick and Pearl on the other hand, were having fun without Maya (for once) but then it was ruined (in Nick's opinion) once Maya was running by them. "How can she run in those things?" Nick and Ichigo yelled as they now started after Maya.

Pearl looked confused, asking, "Why did I hear an echo?" Nick and Ichigo looked at her in confusion.

"Do I have to send this kid back with this one?" Ichigo asked, looking behind him at Rukia and Renji, who shrugged in return.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Nick reassured her. "Let's just try catching up with your cousin before we lose h-oof!" he grunted as he bumped into Uryu, who was waving the manga. "Sorry! We're in a rush!" he apologized, picking up Pearl and running around Uryu and continued after Maya. "Wait up!"

"Uryu, get out of the way! We're losing sight of some spirit!" Ichigo said, soon the manga being shoved in his face. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Read it!" Uryu answered, Ichigo grumbling and taking a look through it with wide eyes. "It's already has two volumes out in stores!" he explained as Renji and Rukia came up to them.

"What's that?" Rukia asked, taking it and pointed at it. "Who the hell is this 'Tite Kubo'?" she demanded, shoving the manga back to Uryu, who grunted. "And how the hell did he know about this?"

"I don't know but frankly, we should start looking out; this person is probably our enemy or worse, Aizen," Uryu sighed.

"What the hell is with everyone and stalking me!" Ichigo yelled.


"Now this is interesting…" Aizen muttered, looking through a manga. "Who would've thought that this Haruhi was a girl? (A/N: More cookies for whoever gets this manga!)"

"Sir? What are you doing?" Gin asked, returning with some more manga, Aizen throwing the manga book to the side.

"Nothing!" he answered, looking with the pile that his subordinate had returned with. "What do you have today?"

"Well, I found something very interesting," Gin explained, handing him the Bleach manga, Aizen smirking lightly. "Someone knows about us I believe."

"Then we should…pay a visit to this...Tite Kubo…and one of the Fey member family," Aizen simply said. "And I know just how to do it."

Gin blinked in confusion as he asked, "Who are they, why the hell have I not heard of them, and why do we need them?" Aizen sent a glare at him, who just smiled innocently (he can do that?). "I'm just merely curious, sir."

"I will let you know when I want you to know!"

"But wouldn't it make more sense f-"

"WHEN I WANT YOU TO KNOW!"
