(Back in Karakura Town)

" Go Ichigo! You can do it! Keep on running!" The kids cheered, pulling the injured people all dressed in black kimonos in a safe corner with them. They had seen the people try to fight the monsters when they were being chased and get hurt so they decided to help all of them to saftey which was easy to do since they had a great distraction; namely Ichigo.

" FOOD! TASTY SOUL!" The monsters, seem to go after 'spiritually high souls'(Quote from a now unconsious shinigami/man-in-black)which Ichigo definetly had went straight for Ichigo when the ghost split away from eachother to hide.

" AHH! That's easy for you to say! You're not being chased by 13 monsters!!!" Ichigo than dodged another blow from one of the masked creatures that nearly had him in it's reach. Just then as Ichigo turned a corner into the other side of the park close to where the child ghosts and the injured were, and when the creatures were only roughly 20 to 30 yards away from him a portal opened up between himself and the vile things.

What stepped out of it caused him gasp slightly with recognition. Where had he seen those two people before? Ichigo frowned at this. How could he know someone without ever meeting him/her in his life?

" Kiyone! Locate the injured while I hold off the monsters!" The white haired man said, and he dissapeared only to reappear on top of one of the creatures, abruptly cutting it in half vertically.

" Yes sir!" The girl then started to go into a frenzy trying to find them. Ichigo, wanting to give a helping hand, approached her. How was he supposed to know what would happen?

" Um, if your looking for your friends, I think I know where they are. Come here and follow me."

" Oh! Thank you...!K-K-Ka...Kaien...?" She said, unsure of her own words. The girls eyes were wide and she seemed unable to breath. And for some reason, instead of acting concerned on how she was acting, he did something else. He acted as if it was funny and said something he shouldn't have known.

" What's the matter? Cat got your tounge Kiyone? Wait until I-!" He never got to finish as the girl launched herself onto him and started to bawl her little eyes out.

" KAIEN! Oh my God! It's you! It's really, really you! You're alive! KAIEN!!!" Kiyone kept crying and before long another portal opened up in front of them. And out stepped two other people who 'Ichigo' recognised.

" Sentaro? Rukia?" At that, when the two turned to look at him their reactions were just like those of Kiyone's. After taking a double take the two was now sure that Ichigo was no illusion Sentaro fainted, falling face first and Rukia stood rooted to the spot, seemingly unable to move. This was now annoying him to no end. Kiyone was clinging onto him, Rukia was in shock and Sentaro was knocked out. 'What next? A hollow attacking Mikan and the others!? Wait, what's a Hollow again?' ' That thing over there'

Right on cue, a Hollow that had seperated itself with the main group decided to go after the injured and the ones unable to defend themselves. Ichigo cursed. Out of instinct he got Kiyone off of him, shunpoed, and summoned a sword to his side and blocked the uncoming blow to the injured. He managed to push it backward and as he did so he heard a feminine voice in his head. ' Call me out, Ichigo!' Ichigo smirked.

" Rage across the seas and heavens, Nejibana!" He summoned his Zanpakuto's shikai form which looked like a blue crystalline trident. He brought it down with fluid motion of his arm and cause a giant shockwave that not only destroyed the Hollow attacking the others, but also killing off the rest of the Hollows that captain Ukitake was currently fighting against. Recognising the move you can only imagine the shock on the 13th Captain's face when he saw the face of his long dead friend alive again.

" Luitenent Kaien? Is it- can it rea-Am I dreaming?" He said to nobody specifically. Ichigo just looked at him with a blank stare. The kind Captain returned it with a look that said Holy-Mother-Of-The-Lord-He's-Not-Dead-Where-Have-You-Been-For-All-Of-These-Years-Young-Man-And-How-Are-You-Still-Alive!? Ichigo then opened up his mouth and said somthing in an Ichigo voice instead of a Kaien voice and that would shake the worlds of the 4 shinigami. Hoo-Boy!

" Who the Hell are you guys!?" Kiyone stopped her river of endless tears and became rigid. Rukia looked on the verge of tears and hysteria. Sentaro fortunately(For him) was still on the ground, although he was having some difficulty breathing through the dirt. Ukitake, having not heard 'Kaien' when in control started to appologise and asked 5 questions that would seem simple and yet would cause great conflict within Ichigo.

" I'm sorry I mistook you for someone. It seems that so did my subordinates. Kiyone, Rukia drag Sentaro over here will you?" Rukia decided to speak at this time. Well more like protest and Kiyone joined in and both proceded to started and end each others sentences. This will take a while.

" But sir that man said-" :Rukia
" Our names even though-" :Kiyone
" We didn't tell him-" :Rukia
" A single thing at all-" :Kiyone
" And he acts like him-" :Rukia
" And he looks like him-" :Kiyone
" And he has the same-" :Rukia
" Zanpakuto-" :Kiyone
" So he just has to be him!" :Both

The two looked flustered and were gasping for breath. Ukitake had just listened to this calmly and then asked them "Did you even ask for his name? He could very well just have read your name tags although..." Noticing this Rukia and Kiyone seemed to blush but they still looked uncertain. " Now then," he said turning to a confused Ichigo resting the soul slaying sword on his shoulder as if it was natural, " How can you see us, how did you summon that sword, why do you seem to know more than you do, is that what you really look like, and what is your name?" Said that in a single breath too, without even breathing hard afterward!

" Hold on! Jeeze... Well first of all, I don't know." His answer was three confused looks. " I mean, I could see ghosts, spirits, and souls since I was a kid."

' High spiritual pressure at birth; Luitenent level; without being trained with the same spirtual signature; CHECK' " The second question?" Ukitake pressed, he had to make sure after all.

" Um I'm not really sure, instinct I guess?" He was beginning to doubt himself.

' Subconcious skill, reacts rashly without thinking and does it when there's a need to protect; CHECK'
" Third?" He was getting worried.

" I-I don't know! Why are you asking me this?'

' Semi-subconcious knowledge; Check'
" Is that what you look like?"

" No." Shocked looks. Sighing. " I look like this because it's Halloween you know. I had to get extentions and dye my hair for the cafe at school." He pauses because he got confused looks. He sighs again. " Extentions are strips of real/fake hair that you attach to your own. To dye your hair means to change it to a different color than it's original one. My real hair is orange and a bit shorter than it is right now. A cafe is a place people hang out and get drinks and sweets." They were writing the information down and Ukitake was murmuring 'I see I see' as he did so.

' Similar looks yet not the same; CHECK'
" And your name?" The other two looked at him. Ukitake gave him the same pressuring look.

" I- my name is-..." 'What is my...name?' The eyes of the (still concious) shinigami grew large with anticipation, as his own squinted trying hard to think.. The red-head heard exasperated groaning in his damn tired too.

' Aw damn! You're already becoming more like m-him. I mean him.'

' Who are you and who are you talking about?'

' I'm your concience genious. And I'm talking about the guy they were talking about-' If it had a physical body it'd be gesturing his hand toward the shinigami's in a very lazy fashion. '-who, from what I heard, is a man named Kaien Shiba. You are not him...yet. But don't worry 'bout that! You're name is Ichigo, Ichigo Kurosaki. Don't ever forget it, alright?'

' Yeah, I got it...Thanks' " My name is Ichigo Kurosaki. Nice to meet you." He had an urge to flash a small smile but didn't and instead put an all too familiar scowl upon his face. In his head his 'concience' was a bit happier; getting a thank you from a certain red-head was a little harder than what most people thought. " Well, I have to go home. See ya later. Oh and you should probably wake up Sentaro before he has a permanent imprint of the concrete sidewalk the rest of his 'life' if you catch my drift." He then shupoed off, not knowing how he did it and also not knowing the shock on the faces of three shinigami, two of disbelief of his spead and the other, the one who was obviously the leader, of dawning realization.

'Blood sister clan of the Shiba clan, Kurosaki; CHECK.....Oh dear Kami-sama, that boy really is his...'

Me: I wonder what will happen next?(smirks evilly) P.S: if you have any questions about the list that was going off in the captain's head, just ask.

Kiyone: KAIEN DONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHHHHHHHHHHHY!?!?!?(Mind you, she is wailing at the top of her lungs)

MyMuses: (cringes in pain) Oh, my head...("'-`_-)

Me: Agreed. Anyone have an aspirin? (Yuno hands them out. We thank him)

Yuna: Well as you can see-(points to still bawling Kiyone)-Kiyone was our guest.

Yuno: Miss? Do you think you can answer some questions on what's going on?

Kiyone: (Springs right up and has things floating around her-Are those SPARKLES!?) Sure, no prob!

Everyone: Sugoi............(O.o)

Gin: Ahem! Well, what do you think about Ichigo being Kaien?

The3OfUs: GIN, NOOOOOOOOO!

Kiyone: K-kaien? KAIEN!! WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Me: Oh for the love of-! *sighs* Well we'll end this now since we can't do anything.(Sounds of continuous, insistent crying)

Everyone'CeptForBlondie(no offense): See you...
