"Oi, kid. You alright?" asked a male voice as Yumi groaned and opened her eyes slowly. Looking down, she saw bright orange spiky hair. He was in Shinigami attire as well with a large sword strapped on his back.

"K-kid...?" she stuttered, obviously wide awake now and very pissed off," who are you calling kid?" Yumi threw the blanket off of her and jumped down to the ground. Sure, she was pretty short but looks could be deceiving!

The man jumped back a little. Taking a better look at him, he couldn't be older than fifteen. He growled," Who are you anyway?"

Yumi smiled a little and stuck her tongue out," I'm--" just then a searing pain racked her head as she winced. Her hand reacted on its own as it rested itself on the hilt of her blade. Yamamoto-Taicho's voice rang in her head:

"You will be sent to the real world for a maximum of five days and no more. You have that time to do what is needed. But no one can know of this operation..."

Getting more annoyed by the minute, Yumi refrained from drawing her sword with her all will power," S-Sorry about that. Bad habit I suppose from my squad. Technically I can't say who I am but I assure you. I come in peace." she answered monotone. It was quiet between the two Shinigami for probably three minutes until Yumi couldn't take it anymore and laughed a bit," Man, I sound like my Taicho...Oh wells. Can I at least know who you are?"

"Uh, Kurosaki Ichigo. Substitute Shinigami!" he answered, stuttering the first part but getting proud the next. It was pretty funny to Yumi nonetheless.

"Strawberry, eh? Just call me Yumi and we'll settle with that." Yumi answered with a sly smile and flicked him on the forehead, despite him being taller than her. Walking past him, it took a few seconds for Ichigo to register what just happened as he turned around towards her and yelled:

"IT'S NOT STRAWBERRY!"


"Where'd you come from anyway?" asked Ichigo, following Yumi around Karakura town suspiciously. He never met any other Shinigami besides Rukia and that other guy from before, and who's to say that all of them at docile. Or at least docile enough not to kill him in his sleep or--. "Oi--"

"Hey, if you don't want to die an early death, then simply don't ask." she answered, grinning while turning around and walking backwards," Besides, I told you that I can't say a word! I was strictly ordered not to let anyone know my true motives for being here!"

Ichigo rolled his eyes but smiled as well," Damn this girl..."

Yumi twitched," What did you say...?"

"Nothing! Nothing!" he answered quickly, putting his hands up in defense. The roar of a hollow stopped him. Yumi narrowed her eyes to the source of the sound and raced off. Ichigo followed suit. Both ended up right near a very large high school area.

"Ichigo!" called out a voice as he turned to see a woman with raven black hair and bluish eyes. Well, violet or purple. It was hard to tell since a little of her hair was covering some of her features," Wait, who is this?"

"Oh, I'm from Seireitei." said Yumi proudly. Even without the girl being in the correct garbs, she just somehow let out the aura of a Shinigami. "I'd say more but this guy is here just can't wait!" She pointed to the medium sized hollow that seemed to be getting pissed off every second for getting ignored by the trio. "Plus he's here so I can't say anything either!"

Her eyes narrowed for a moment before being interrupted by the nearby Hollow," Oi, Ichigo. Take care of the Hollow while I speak to her."

He growled before jumping off with sword in hand. The girl ended up walking towards an empty part of school and called the girl over. Once alone, she continued," So, who are you exactly?"

Yumi took in a deep breath," Gomen nasai. But Yamamoto-Taicho has strictly ordered me not to say anything on my mission. But I can tell you it has nothing to do with you or strawberry!"

She raised a brow and crossed her arms," And how do I know you're not a renegade Shinigami?"

"Here's my seal." she said, pulling the neck of her Kimono to reveal a small black imprint near her shoulder. It was the sign of the tenth division. Actually, it looked a lot like a daffodil," Of the tenth division, I was sent to the Human world. So, any ideas on a place I can stay?"

Rukia gave it thought for a moment," I'll show you a place later, alright? By The way, I'm Rukia. Kuchiki Rukia."

"Ku..chiki?" she questioned. The first thing that came to mind was Byakuya. Shaking that aside Yumi nodded," alright."


"Ohiyo!" greeted a male voice. He had sandy blonde hair with a hat on top. He also wore a green robe and wooden sandals;" I'm Urahara Kisuke, the shop keeper!"

"Oh, I'm...uh, well." Yumi trailed off, worried about the pains she's been getting whenever she would get close to revealing her identity.

Urahara gave a thoughtful look before going to his huge built helper," Tessai, do you mind getting that new shipment we got three days ago?"

"Hai," he simply said. His assistant nodded, his glasses clicking in a creepy manner as he walked off. Coming back, he held a small box and handed it to Urahara.

She looked curiously at it as he opened it, but it soon changed to fear as he took out a syringe," W-What are you going to do with that...?"

He grinned, "Just this--" and then he injected it into her arm. Just the same, Yumi only felt the pain once he was suddenly behind her. Head spinning, her vision began to blur. The last thing Yumi heard was," Good night, Miyamoto-san."


"What the..." murmured Yumi, opening her eyes to meet with more darkness," Where am I?"

"You're in your soul."

"Who's there?" she asked, putting a hand on the hilt of her zanpakto, only to realize it was no longer there.

The figure chuckled. From it, she could just tell it was a female," How cute. You seem to be shaking." Yumi growled silently and clenched her fists," Well, it's not like you can do anything about it, knowing what you really are. Especially with your past." A small little girl appeared from a distance and a faint light surrounded her. Well, I guess that's the only reason she's visible in this darkness I'm afraid.

Her eyes widened," You know--"

She simply nodded but then smiled and shifted her gaze elsewhere as if teasing Yumi by feeding tiny bits of precious information," Yep, And your future isn't looking to pretty either."

"Huh?" everything went white for a moment before she started seeing something even more alarming...

Yumi screamed and shoved the figure looming over her abruptly and panted from that close proximity. Apparently, she will be scarred for life from now on," My god what the heck!?"

And who else would get into someone else's private space than Tessai? Poor guy, his glasses ended up being beyond repair in less than the minute that followed.

"Hey, Ura--" before Rukia could finish after opening the door, she saw that girl again except there was an unconscious Tessai right beside the wall. Rukia smiled a bit," Do I want to know?"

Yumi shrugged," I dunno. It might scare you. By the way, where's Urahara?"

"Right here!" he said, leaning on the door frame. He noticed Yumi's glare when she got up as he backed up a little," Ano..."

"Urahara..." she growled. Yumi did not forget what he had done before she passed out," What the heck did you inject me with!?"

He put a finger in front of her face," It's nothing deadly I assure you, Miyamoto-san...!"

"Deadly my arse!" taking her fist and aiming it straight at his face. Unfortunately, he dodged, causing Yumi to fall past the open door and land on something soft and warm. To add to the embarrassment, bright orange hair was seen.

"Crap," cursed Ichigo, wincing in pain until he noticed Yumi was on top of him. His brown eyes widened before he got a little red with Yumi following suit once they both made eye contact. She quickly got off him and rubbed her head.

"Gomen, Ichigo!" then glaring at Urahara, she was about to say some more colorful words before it hit her," Wait...How do you know my name?"

He whistled innocently," Who knows?"

"Urahara!"


"Wow, so Yumi's been gone for a day, huh." said Renji, boredly staring up at the Clouds in the sky. Matsumoto sighed, too. Renji was lying on the grass and she was leaning against a nearby Sakura.

She nodded," Hai," Groaning, Matsumoto held up a bottle of sake, about to take a drink. Right when it was close to her lips, her arm willed itself down," God I can't even enjoy sake anymore."

"Well, how does that not surprise me," started a voice from a short distance. Both Fukutaicho's shifted their gaze to meet with a certain Kuchiki who had taken his daily walk among the blossoms. "Matsumoto Rangiku. Abarai Renji." he added in his way of greeting.

"Good morning, Taicho." replied Renji, giving a small nod with his head from his spot and watching the clouds once more. Matsumoto followed suit.

Byakuya was silent before walking past them," I think you two should try to get your mind off her. She is only gone for a mere five days, so you need not worry."

Both were astounded by both his intuition and the way he almost didn't add coldness to his tone. It was as if...

"Wow Taicho..."Murmured Renji, now sitting up and surprised.

Matsumoto simply smiled in what seems like months," Nah, it's nothing. I'm pretty sure that he misses her, too."


Hitsugaya sat in his office quietly doing paperwork with a cup of hot tea on the desk. It's only been a day and already his day had become boring and uneventful.

Just like before she came here...

Realizing what he was thinking, he snapped back to his senses only to notice that some ink had spilt on his Shihakushou sleeve. Growling at the black liquid, he then stood up and started washing it off in the bathroom. Taking this opportunity, he also washed his face to wake up a little.

"It's so quiet here." he said, not talking to anyone in particular. Using the nearby towel to dry, Hitsugaya then walked back to the office and looked out his window. It was a sunny day in Sereitei. One of the best one's lately as a-matter-of-fact. But for some odd reason, he wasn't paying attention much. Who would when the sun felt so far away?

"You know you're thinking of her and don't deny it this time!"

"How many times must I say it? She's my subordinate! Why would I be thinking of her?"

"Correction. Why wouldn't you be thinking of her?"

"..."

"For the famous Squad Ten Captain, you don't make good come backs do you?"

"I'm going to shatter you in a minute, Hyourinmaru, if you don't stop."

"Go ahead, I'll just get into contact with her sword and have done with it."

"...I'm really starting to detest you."

"You know you can never get rid of me."

"Unfortunately, you're right for once."

"Score one for Hyourinmaru--wait a second!"

Hitsugaya shut the mind link and smirked for what felt like ages," He'll never learn."


'Groooooooooooooooooooooooowl'

Yumi and Ichigo both twitched at their roaring stomachs while also glaring at the Urahara and Rukia for stifling their laughs. Well, at least Rukia. Hat and clogs just burst out.

"Oh my, It seems to me that Kurosaki-san and Miyamoto-san are hungry." he teased, flicking his hat a bit," So, why don't we try this. Miyamoto-san, why don't you try this?" Urahara then coaxed her into a room as she stared at Ichigo with a,' Help me' look. But before he could do anything, he had shoved her in and went inside while locking the door. Some shuffling and slight curses from Yumi were all that was heard.

"O-Oi! What the hell are you doing to...her?" he ran to the door and jerked it open to see something so frightening and disturbing that he had to cover his eyes...And his almost bleeding nose.

Miyamoto Yumiko...Was in a school uniform. Not just any uniform. A short one.

Very short...

And apparently looking very much like a fifteen year old high school student


"Abarai," started his captain. Byakuya had called Renji to his office for briefing on their newest mission. Actually, it was one of the most important missions that would change Renji's future forever.

"Hai, Taicho." replied Renji, bowing to his superior.

Byakuya nodded and continued," It appears that we received orders to take someone back from the human world be by the target's will or not."

"W-Wait, you can't mean Yumi--"

"She is not the one I'm speaking of." he cut off as Renji almost began to regret speaking out," Our target is..."


"Ichigoooo!" whined a voice as Ichigo groaned for at least the 50th time that day.

"What Yumi?" he asked, turning to the girl beside him.

She pouted," I'm hungry. Treat me?"

"Aw come on! You just ate!" he crossed his arms and scowled as usual," Fine, but next time you're going to have to wait."

"Hai!" she said happily clutching onto his arm playfully, gaining odd stares from the people around him. Ichigo blushed and tried prying the weird Shinigami away from his arm but to no avail.

Ah, yes. I forgot. You don't know yet do you? How our young heroine of the story can be seen in the human world?

Reader: Just tell us already!!

Alright alright! Jeez, let's backtrack...

:Flashback-Yesterday:

"What the hell...?" murmured Ichigo, dumbfounded at the sight of the girl currently in front of him," Is that..."

"Bingo! Yes, Kurosaki. This is the same Yumiko-chan that was just here a couple moments ago!" answered Urahara cheerfully.

Yumi fumed," Hey! Why'd you go and do this for!? And why the heck do I look fifteen--no, I should be asking how the heck I'm in a school uniform!?"

"Well, in order for you to carry out the task in which Soul Society has strictly given only to you, a Gigai is the way to go!" Her eyes narrowed as she parted her lips to ask a question that has been bugging her. But he put a finger on her lips and smiled," Don't worry. It's not like I gave you that body for a specific reason more than that. I'll answer any of your questions on one condition!"

"Condition...?" Yumi tilted her head curiously as Urahara's grin only widened even more. Uh-oh...This can't be good.

"Wow, this is really good..." giggled Yumi, eating up her strawberry ice cream. It was a new thing for her and she was enjoying every single bite and lick of the sugary treat.

Ichigo sighed," Jeez, don't eat it so fast or you'll get brain freeze."

"Brain freeze--Ow!" She was just about to ask what it was before a pain entered her head," C-Cold, ow!"

"I told you!" this time he laughed a little," Ice is cold and can hurt like hell if you're not careful."

Yumi frowned a little," Yeah, ice can be like that, huh..." he saw her change in attitude and took a small sip of his soda.

"Hey Yumi, are you okay?"

His voice snapped her out of it and she smiled a little," Y-Yeah, I'm alright! Sorry, I dazed off for a minute there. But, at least I'm glad you care Strawberry!"

He growled," It's not strawberry!"

Yumi rolled her eyes," Right."

"Ano, are you sure about this?" asked Yumi to Urahara, looking down to the ground shyly," I mean, I just got here and I'm already bothering you."

"Nonsense Miyamoto-san!" he said happily snapping his fan shut," Until you figure out how to get back to soul society, you can stay here as long as you wish for free."

Yumi bowed her head and grinned," Arigato, Urahara-san!" She then rushed off to one of the spare rooms and laid down on the futon tiredly," Man I'm beat!" Seeing a window, she got back up and opened it to let in the cool night air. The full moon was waning now. "...Day one is complete and no hollows. But why does something seem off?" Shrugging her gut feeling off, she changed out of her clothes and into some PJ's that Urahara gave her and she laid down on her futon.

A figure crouching low on a branch put his hand to the headphone in his ear," She's asleep."

"Good, now go on to phase two."

"Roger." The figure then crept into the room and removed his fox mask to reveal spiky brown hair and gold amber eyes. Tattooed just below the left side of his collar bone was XIII. He smirked slightly.

" Sweet dreams, Yumiko."
