Kurosaki Future Chapter 4: The New Squad 5 Captain

Hey, hey, hey! kiwiVega here! This is the chappy where another Captain shows up! Don't worry, only Gin, Kaname, and Aizen went bye-bye! But I love Kaname! Blind dude with dreads! SPOILER: why did he turn into that ugly looking fly thing? Couldn't he have been cooler? Then he was all like, "Hisagi…let me see your face…" and he EXPLODED! I was giggling and crying at the same time (not really) and my cousin and I said, "Hee, hee, no Kaname, hee, NO! Hee, hee! Tosen, hee, Kaname!" Well, he's dead, so, let's get on with the story!

P.S. I promise Ichigo will be happy later!

Ichigo got up and stretched. He didn't sleep well. He had a nightmare of Karin, Yuzu, Isshin, and Masaki all being murdered before him. Yet he could do nothing for some reason. He couldn't move or speak. All he could do was watch. And when he tried to look away, the gruesome images followed his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes and groaned. Ichigo changed into jeans and a T-shirt before he opened his bedroom door and headed to the kitchen. He got out some cereal and milk and made a bowl for breakfast. Ichigo sat down and stared blankly at nothing with the bowl of cereal on the table.

Rukia walked into the kitchen and frowned, "Ichigo, you need to eat." She'd decided to sleep in the other room of the house last night. She went to the table and pushed the bowl towards him, "Go on." Ichigo stuck a spoon in the bowl and began to munch on the cereal while Rukia watched. "You're so unhappy, Ichigo."

Ichigo leaned back in the chair, "Oh, really? My sisters just died, my mom died a long time ago, and my dad is nowhere to be seen! How would you feel, Rukia? Jolly?" Rukia sighed.

"My sister died, too," Rukia said, "My brother isn't around much, either. Please don't take this out on me."

Ichigo sat up and glared at her, "Why shouldn't I? All you other Shinigami were there when my sisters got killed! You could have done something, but no, you just stood there staring! Was it interesting to see my sisters get mauled? Was it so fascinating you couldn't move?"

"Ichigo!" Rukia exclaimed, "It wasn't like that!"

"Yeah? Then how was it? You didn't move for some reason. I want to know why none of you did anything!" Ichigo told her.

Rukia looked down. She looked almost as bad as Ichigo.

"I…I'm sorry. I just lost all my family. I have so many things going on, and I saw you guys standing there and I thought you didn't care."

"No," Rukia said, putting her hand over Ichigo's, "we all knew your sisters. It was a shock to us, too. I swear, I wanted to move, but I was frozen! I wanted to kill those hollows too, I just couldn't stand it. I love Karin and Yuzu; they're my sisters as well as yours." Ichigo nodded with his eyes closed.

"And, Karin was right. They're probably just somewhere in the Rukon," Ichigo said.

Rukia smiled, "No, they are in the Rukon!"

Ichigo gave a small smile back, "This is just like some TV drama or something…" They both laughed.

Rukia stood up, "You know what? Let's go to the Soul Society! We can find your sisters there and maybe even stay! If Isshin's not here, he's got to be there, right?" Ichigo seemed confused for a moment but got up, too. "Let's go talk to Urahara about opening a Senkai Gate."

"Thanks, Rukia," Ichigo said, rubbing the back of his head. He gave her a kiss and they headed to the Urahara Shop.

Karin and Yuzu played Go while Rayo watched and Dena made meals in the kitchen of the little house.

"I win again!" Yuzu cried, throwing her arms in the air.

Rayo smirked at Karin, "Yuzu: five, Karin: zero. You're stupid."

"Shut up!" Karin ruffled his already messy hair, "Isn't a brother supposed to encourage his sister?"

"You're right! Keep it up Yuzu, you can do it, you're great! Go, Yuzu!"

Karin growled at him and they all laughed.

"You all seem to be having fun," Dena said as she came in with a tray of steaming food. The trio grabbed a bowl each and began to chow down. "I heard that Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki are coming back to the Soul Society today."

Karin paid no attention to the comment and scarfed down the food she had. Yuzu did the same, but slower.

"Really? That guy who took down Aizen and his royal girlfriend?" Rayo asked, staring up at Dena.

"Who's Aizen?" Karin asked, wiping her mouth with the back of her wrist.

"Who's Aizen?" Dena looked surprised, "Oh, yes, you're new here, right. Well, Aizen Sosuke was a traitor along with Kaname Tosen and Gin Ichimaru. They were captains of the 13 court guard squads in the Soul Society, but they wanted to have power over the world so they left to a place called Hueco Mundo, land of the hollows. They created more hollows and gave them power, making them Arrancar and controlling them. There was a huge war between Aizen, Kaname, Gin, their Arrancar, and the Shinigami in a fake Karakura. Karakura is where Ichigo, the Substitute Shinigami, lives when he's not in the Soul Society."

"Hmm," Yuzu mumbled, "Karakura…sounds familiar…I guess we must have heard of this Substitute Shinigami."

Dena smiled and tilted her head a bit, "I guess so. But the Substitute and a member of the royal Kuchiki family, Rukia, have known each other since about four and a half years ago when Rukia gave up her powers. Their friends helped save our world and the human world. Just what a Shinigami is supposed to do."

"That's so cool!" Yuzu said, bouncing up and down. Karin snorted.

"What's a Substitute Shinigami, huh?"

"Oh," Dena said, "Well, he is a Shinigami who is not dead yet. He is also part Hollow. I believe that half hollow Shinigami are called Vizards. The first Vizards also helped defeat Aizen." Karin grinned.

"Vizard is a weird word," she said.

Rayo looked at her from the corner of his eye, "That's all you care about? Wow, you're stupider than I thought." Karin gave him a cold glare.

"Maybe you can train hard enough and be as strong as the Substitute," Dena said, "That would be great, right? Try hard at the Academy."

"Yes, ma'am, mom!" Karin saluted Dena. Rayo swatted her head.

"Maybe you'll see him someday, you know," Dena said. Karin and Yuzu shrugged.

Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji all sat around a table in the Sixth Squad barracks. They were completely silent until a Hell Butterfly flew through the window.

Renji let it land on his finger and replay the message it had, "Ichigo Kurosaki, please report to the 13 Court Guard Squads' Captain meeting room. Ichigo Kurosaki, please report to the 13 Court Guard Squads' captain meeting room."

Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other and got up.

"Renji, what's wrong," Rukia asked. Renji shrugged his shoulders, an expression of confusion on his face. "I wonder…" Renji and Rukia led Ichigo to the Captains' room and opened the doors for him, telling him not to be nervous.

The Captains stood in lines down the humongous room, Head Captain Yamamoto Genryuusai sitting way in the back. The way they all stared down at Ichigo was intimidating.

"Ichigo Kurosaki!" Yamamoto's powerful voice boomed, gaining Ichigo's attention, "Do you know why you've been called here?" Ichigo could only shake his head. "As you know, the 13 Court Guard Squads are missing 3 Captains." Ichigo nodded. "We have called you here to request that you become a new captain of the Soul Society. Do you accept?"

Ichigo rolled his head stupidly, "What did you say?"

"I asked if you would become a new captain of the Soul Society, Kurosaki! Do you accept the position of 5th Squad Captain?"

Ichigo's eyes widened, "Yes! Yes, I fully accept! When do I start?"

"Now…" Unohana came over and put the 5th Squad Captain Haori on his back, clipping it over his shoulder.

"Welcome to the Court Guard Squads, Ichigo."

Yay! Captain Ichigo Kurosaki! That was a horrible idea! Ichigo will destroy all order! No, he might not… I guess if the 13 Court Guard Squads have faith in him, I should, too. Wait, maybe they don't! I'm CONTROLLING this story! Argh, let's just hope Ichigo has what it takes, especially after losing his beloved little twin sisters. GOOD LUCK, SOUL SOCIETY! :D

Adios,
