By the way, I'm putting the Ggio-Soi Fon fight way earlier in the time line, so we're a little before Shinji meets Ichigo for the first time. No one knows what exactly Ggio was, so now Soul Society's a little tense and suspicious. The reason Kisuke, Yoruichi, Tessai, and the Vizards know what he is, is because like in the anime and manga, they seem to know everything that is happening around them.

Also, on bleachwiki, it says that during his resurreccion, Ggio is able to control his braid. I'm making so that he can control his braid in any form, and it also moves with his emotions like a cat's tail.

Another note I want to make; I see Ggio as one of those people who look older or younger depending on what clothes they wear. I kind of view Soi Fon the same way.

This is the shinigami.

This is the zanpakutou.

This is the Hollow.

Don't own Bleach.

Welcome

Ggio couldn't help but feel some what anxious as he stood next to Kisuke in front of the cautious and searching eyes of the Vizards. Their leader, Hirako Shinji, stood the closest to the two outsiders. Brown eyes unblinking, Shinji stared into Ggio's molten gold eyes before looking at Kisuke.

"Let me get this straight; this kid was originally an Arrancar but he was turned into a Vizard after havin' a large amount of Shinigami reiastu put into him. Now he's got no one, and ya want us ta take him in ta both bolster our ranks and ta give him a new "family"." Shinji said all of this in a matter-of-fact tone; his bored drawled never changing as he looked at the inventor.

Trying to calm himself down, Ggio took Shinji's lack of attention on him to look himself over. He was dressed in a pair of black cargo shorts that stopped just below the knees, and a blue shirt with the kanji for 'tiger' in black just above his heart. Underneath his clothes, Ggio wore a white under shirt and black under shorts; Kisuke told him earlier that when he transforms into his cat form, he would be naked, but if he wears skin-tight clothes, he would continue to wear them when he transforms back (AN: I got the clothes idea from the book series The Animorphs, which I do not own).

Despite trying to stop himself, Ggio couldn't help but cock his head from side to side as he tried to get used to the change in weight the lack of his tiger skull created. Feeling a gust of wind brush by him, Ggio looked up and jumped back as the blonde girl from the Vizard's group appeared two inches in front of him. Startled Ggio felt his braid whip out behind him and the rest of his hair bristle.

Turning away from the now chuckling Vizards with an embarrassed blush, Ggio softly touched the necklace Yoruichi had given him. It was a simple tiger eye stone, cut in the shape of an egg. It was both a gift based on his zanpakutou's name and a hope for him to continue to improve. Tiger eye was believed by some to give the wearer a stronger resolve and sharper mind. There was also a personal reason he liked the stone: it felt like Tigre Estoque had put a part of himself in the stone, and by touching it, Ggio felt comforted by his zanpakutou without having to touch it, which could have been perceived as a threat to the Vizards.

What if they reject me? Ggio asked this to his zanpakutou.

If they are foolish enough to do such a thing, I will always be with you. I am you and you are I, and we are one now and forever.

Don't forget about me, Tiger. I ain't gonna leave Ggio alone with these idiots. I am a part of him as much as you are, and I'd never abandon or turn against the only person who will ever understand me. Ggio smiled slightly as his now-separated hollow-self announced his devotion. Unlike any of the Vizards, Ggio and his hollow actually cared for one another, and Ggio always let his hollow see everything going on around him.

Nor would I ever abandon either of you, Saber, Tigre. Ggio responded honestly and smiled as he felt both inner parts of him recede contently to the back of his mind again.

Looking up, Ggio's eyes met Kisuke, who had turned toward him at some point. The scientist grinned at him and spoke. "You back from la la land yet." Ggio blushed again but nodded. "Excellent! So then," at this part, Kisuke turned toward Shinji again, "what do you say? Can he stay?" Shinji turned to the others, and after a few minutes of silence (during which time Ggio occupied himself by playing with his braid and having staring contests with the wall), he looked back at the two outsiders and said, "Yeah, he can stay."

While Ggio bowed slightly and thanked them, Kisuke was a bit blunter: "YAY! Ggio's gonna make some new friends!"

As Kisuke turned to leave, he seemed to remember something and looked at Ggio. "By the way, Ggio-kun, I registered you for school. You will now be attending Karakura High School." After saying this, the scientist flash stepped away, leaving the warehouse in relative silence…..

"WHAT?"

…sorta.

Meanwhile, in Soul Society…..

"Captain Soi Fon, I want you to go to the human world before the others and check for any disturbances in Karakura Town. You will be attending Karakura High School as a cover-up. The others will be notified of your presence before they leave for the human world. Do not fail." At the last statement from the soutaichou, the captain of assassins looked at him and nodded.

"Hai."

I know Ggio appears a little OOC, but I think after being abandoned, anyone would have a bit of a personality change. There's also the fact that I don't think I could accurately write a person who is naturally boastful.

I have a new question: what grade is Ichigo in?

I also have a riddle that you can try to answer in the review: What do people question they have when they have it, and deny lacking when they don't have it? I'll give the answer in the next chapter. Please review.

Ja ne!
