Tatsuki: This chapter may not have a title but consider it a Part 2

Chizuru: This is a terrible Part 2

Tatsuki: No one asked you

Chizuru: Well you should, it's my story

Rukia: I've been thinking. Maybe we should change the title to Bleach: The Rise of Rukia

Tatsuki and Chizuru (shouts angrily): Hell no

Karin: Konsu does not own Bleach

Ichigo: This annoying plot however he does

Yuzu: Please enjoy

"You wanna know about Rukia?"

"Ah, she hasn't been in class for a while, I'm a bit worried."

Tatsuki and Ichigo stood outside class, talking quietly away from everyone. It was Tatsuki's idea. The girl didn't want anyone to know of what she was discussing with Ichigo. It was embarrassing, but Tatsuki had to know about her. A week has already passed since Rukia's absence, and no one has seen or heard about her. However, if there was one thing Tatsuki was sure of, it was that Ichigo, her idiot childhood friend, knew something about Rukia. This is why Ichigo was out with Tatsuki now, looking more annoyed than ever.

'It probably has to do with the bruise on his head. His dad must have got to him again.'

Scratching his head, Ichigo releases a small sigh, wondering what to do. There was no way for him to answer Tatsuki's request without giving away that Rukia was staying in his closet. He just knew if this was revealed his life would go to hell on multiple levels. The last thing he needed was come crazy rumor spreading about him because of Rukia decided to live in his closet like a crazy person.

"There's no need to worry," Ichigo said. "That idiot just caught a cold and had been staying at my place healing up."

Raising an eyebrow, Tatsuki nods slowly.

"Staying at your place…that's interesting."

Becoming flustered, Ichigo glares at Tatsuki.

"Idiot it's not what you think. That other idiot has been in the Old Man's care…" Ichigo trails off hearing Tatsuki laugh.

Waving her hand, Tatsuki gives Ichigo a playful grin.

"No, you're the idiot. I know better than anyone that you're too much of a prude to try anything with Kuchiki. Hell, you won't even try anything with Ryo and it's obvious you both have the hots for each other," Ignoring Ichigo's glare, Tatsuki continues. "Well, thanks for telling me, I'll be walking with you afterschool today."

Not even having a chance to refuse Tatsuki, Ichigo could only splutter nonsense before releasing a defeated sigh.

"I really can't win against Tatsuki."

Entering class after Tatsuki, Ichigo takes his seat. Thinking about Tatsuki's words about Ryo, Ichigo glances back slightly to see the girl in question seated quietly reading a book. Feeling eyes on her, Ryo glances from her book and locks eyes with Ichigo. For a moment the two stare at each other unblinking. A faint blush spreads across from Ichigo's face and he turns away casually as not to draw attention to himself. It was because he turned away that he missed Ryo's blush.

A little bits away; watching with a smirk was Tatsuki.

'Ichigo, Ryo, you two have it bad.'

Kurosaki Household

Laid out on the couch, lazily reading a book, Rukia groans. A week has passed since she fell into a coma, two days have passed since she awakened, and a day has passed since she found herself in the care of the Kurosaki's. Rukia didn't know how to take all what had happened since the day she fell into a coma, but the things she experienced that day was nothing short than life changing. Rukia remembered it all. The battle with the mirror, the nightmare she experienced, and the punishment she received from Sode no Shiryuki for giving away her powers.

'I never actually believed Sode no Shirayuki would freeze me in a block of ice.'

It was because of this she had a cold, a severe cold that may have killed her if it wasn't for the careful care Isshin Kurosaki had given her for the past three days according to Ichigo. When she had awakened, Rukia was surprised to see the smiling worried face of Yuzu Kurosaki, her personal clothes shop, wiping her forehead. It was soon after this when Rukia was introduced to Isshin and Karin. The meeting was quite interesting, especially when they found Yuzu mothering Rukia, checking her over and asking questions like where she stayed and where she was from. After introductions were made, Rukia was 'adopted' by Isshin and became his third daughter. It was an interesting thing and it only became more so when Ichigo became aware of it.

"Hehehe." Rukia laughs remembering Ichigo's reaction.

A shadow appears over Rukia, stopping her laughter. Looking up from the book, she saw Isshin smiling down at her.

"Eh…Kurosaki-san?"

A small bop on the head is what Rukia receives for her words.

"I thought I told you to call me Dad or Papa…or Father." Isshin said.

"I believe Kurosaki-san is fine." Rukia laughs in good nature, feeling like calling Isshin Dad or any sort of the word would be wrong, especially when she didn't mean it.

Pouting at Rukia's stubbornness for a few seconds, Isshin gives Rukia a small smile.

"Rukia-chan come with me for a bit."

Sitting up, Rukia gives Isshin a curious stare.

"To where."

Giving Rukia a thumb sup, Isshin answers without missing a beat, his grin widening.

"First we're going to drag Karin and Yuzu out of school," Rukia nearly tips over hearing the first part. "And secondly, we're going to the mall to buy you some clothes. We can't have you wearing Yuzu's clothes all the time."

Staring at Isshin stun, Rukia could do nothing but be dragged by Isshin out the house and into his car. Finally coming out of her shock, Rukia found the car already set in motion on a course for the Kurosaki Twin's school. Rubbing her head, Rukia stares out the window softly.

'Things are quite nice here.'

Back inside the house, forgotten by all was the little plush lion doll, Kon. Now all alone and with no one to ogle, Kon opens the window in Ichigo's room and leaps out.

"Alright, it's finally my time to shine. Watch out world, Kon-sama is on the move."

With no real destination in mind, Kon runs off in hopes of finding a beautiful lady to love and to snuggle into her loving breast.

XxXxXxXxXx

Ugly, this was the word that described the many things the young girl saw on her way to the mall. Today was the day she has been dreaming of for the past month. It was her day off from training and she was quick to escape Naruki City. Now alone in Karakura, the girl was on a mission to find anything cute to add to her collection of cute things. However, since arriving she found nothing particularly cute, which is why she was heading to the mall in hopes of finding something adorable and cute.

"Hmm."

It was at that moment the girl felt something odd and she turns around to see a pink-haired girl walking down the street aimlessly. Curious about the school girl's strange spiritual pressure, the girl, Riruka Dokugamine (15), runs after her, thinking she may be the same breed as she and her comrades.

The Mall

Two Hours Later

"That stupid old man what the hell was he thinking dragging Karin and Yuzu out of school for this."

"Seems like a good cause to me. We can't have Ruki-Kuchiki wearing Yuzu's clothes all the time."

"You make it sound like Rukia's been wearing Yuzu's clothes daily."

"I'm pretty sure the last time I saw Kuchiki she was wearing the dress I bought Yuzu a year ago."

"…"

Ichigo and Tatsuki walks through the mall searching for the newly formed Kurosaki Family. It was nearly two hours earlier when Ichigo received a text from Karin explaining what their father had done. The explosion Ichigo released in class that moment was something to be remembered.

"Ah there they are." Ichigo said pointing at where Isshin, Karin, Yuzu, and Rukia were seated with many bags.

Pissed that Ichigo was obviously ignoring her previous words, Tatsuki huffs and stomps on Ichigo's foot angrily, and walks up to the table where the Kurosaki Family was waiting. A muffled shout escapes Ichigo as he tries his best to hold back from cursing Tatsuki in the highest volume possible. Face red, cheeks puffed out in his effort in holding it back, Ichigo limps after Tatsuki, his face slowly returning to normal.

Being the first to see the two approaching their table, Yuzu smiles and shouts at them waving.

"Ichi-nii, Tatsuki-chan."

Perking up at the names, Rukia looks up and gives the two large smiles. When Ichigo saw the smile, he had a feeling it wasn't really directed at him, but he nods nonetheless, while giving the beaming Tatsuki a side glance.

"Are you here to save us?" Karin asks dully, hopefully.

Shaking his head, Ichigo sighs deeply.

"You of all people should know that's impossible, especially when it comes to clothes shopping."

As if to prove Ichigo's point, Yuzu and Issin are heard gushing over the clothes they've bought earlier.

"Wow, this would like great on Rukia-chan, Dad."

"I know, and this one isn't bad either right?"

"Oh, nice choice, but I think would look better on Karin-chan."

"Hehehe, this is the best."

"Yeah, yeah, oh, I like this one."

"You can have it."

Karin slams her hand on the table in outrage.

"Hey that's mine!"

Shaking his head at how quickly Karin joined the band of idiots, Ichigo focuses on Rukia, only to find her and Tatsuki staring at each other intently, causing an awkward situation for him. A sigh escapes Ichigo once more and he decides to walk off to buy some food, really not wanting to be a third wheel in a relationship he rather not know about.

For their part, Rukia and Tatsuki were actually having a hard time. For one, Tatsuki didn't know how to say she was worried about Rukia without actually saying it. For another, Rukia was having a hard time trying to speak about the experience the two of them had a week ago. It was a second later when they decide to throw caution into the wind and just speak…in unison.

"You haven't been in school for a week, what happened?"

"About last week, that was crazy right?"

Falling silent over what the other had said, the two glare at each other strangely.

'She doesn't remember what happened? Rukia thought puzzled.

'What happened last week that was so crazy?' Tatsuki thought frowning.

Not sure how what to make of this sudden development, Tatsuki decides to change the subject.

"Sooo…you were adopted into the Kurosaki Family?"

Sighing at Tatsuki's obvious attempts to change the subject, Rukia nods slowly.

"Yeah…Kurosaki-san is strange…but last week was stranger," Rukia's eyes narrow. "You really don't remember what happened?"

Scowling that the subject went back to the topic Tatsuki had no knowledge of, Tatsuki nods.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Tatsuki said. "All I remember is a strange dream I had, and even then it's in fragments."

Taking a seat across from Rukia, Tatsuki leans back in the chair lazily, and stares at the silent Rukia. Now that she thought about it, there was the strange dream from a week ago when she fought herself and met a strange Chizuru look alike. Of course Tatsuki would be lying if she said she believed it was a dream. For the past week she had plenty time to think back on the dream and each time she recalled it, the more she believed it wasn't a dream. Since coming to terms with this, Tatsuki has noticed things about herself she hadn't noticed before. Sure the healing she discovered was something different, and it had advanced a bit since then. Also there was the strange ability with her eyes where she could see an aura from people and the aura of the strange monsters in the sky. That wasn't all however. She could also sense out Orihime's presence from wherever she was in Karakura. It was odd, but she could. This however wasn't what she hadn't noticed before. No, there was something else. It was a strange ability she discovered, an ability that allowed her to do the impossible. Strangely enough, whenever she called upon of this power, Yang always appeared in her mind laughing.

Tatsuki pales just thinking of Yang and her mad laughter, A familiar feeling suddenly washes over Tatsuki and she stares up at Rukia seeing the red light surrounding her once more. In the distance she saw an overly bright red light approaching, and Tatsuki knew without a doubt it was Ichigo. Turning to Isshin, Karin, and Yuzu, she saw a red light expelling from them also, but unlike Rukia's, the red light expelling from them was even fainter. Tatsuki had no idea what this meant, but she focuses, or would have if it wasn't for a familiar forehead pressing against her own, stopping her cold.

"Hmm, you don't seem to be drugged this time," Rukia pulls away frowning. "Maybe you really have a fever this time."

Blushing heavily, Tatsuki glares at Rukia.

"Never bring up that incident again Rukia." Tatsuki shouts embarrassed.

Laughing at Tatsuki's blush, Rukia turns to Karin and Yuzu hearing them laugh as well, they too spotting the blush. Taking a seat next to his smiling father, Ichigo digs into his fries, his lips twitching at the sight of the blushing Tatsuki and his laughing siblings…plus Rukia. Things would be alright with Ichigo if things remained the way they were, because to him, things were quite nice as it is.

However, things weren't going to remain as they were, because across the way, watching the family intently was a shinigami dressed like a ninja, a shinigami of the Stealth Force under the direct command of Soifon. Eyes landing on Rukia, the shinigami nod silently and went to report to Soifon when he locks eyes with the glaring Tatsuki, her gold eyes boring into his. A strange oppressive presence washes over the shinigami at the sight of Tatsuki. The girl's hair seem lighter than usual, and he could actually see a bit of white appearing within it. This was something else to report to his leader. However, before he could do so, he had to leave and now to make his report, and once he does, taking care of the girl came next, she was dangerous, this much he was certain of. This feeling only proved true when Tatsuki stands and excuses herself from the others and begins heading his way. Cursing, the shinigami vanishes via shunpo, not knowing Tatsuki could see where he was heading and was planning on following after him.

Chizuru's Apartment

"Mom I'm home."

Chizuru walks into the living room where she found her mother sitting on the couch, drinking milk, wearing nothing but her underwear.

"Ah Chizuru-chan take a seat, grab a bottle of milk."

Grabbing one of the ice cold bottles of milk from the cooler next to the couch, Chizuru takes a seat in the chair next to the couch on the opposite side of the cooler. Sitting up, Chizuru's Mother gives Chizuru a small grin.

"Anything new happen today?"

Taking a sip of the milk, Chizuru nods, returning the woman's grin.

"Yeah, some cute girl was stalking me earlier. I was pretending not to notice, but along the way I lost her when I ran into this strange thing." Chizuru pulls out a familiar plush doll from her bag, it kicking and screaming.

"Let me go, let me go you psycho." Kon shouts.

Pulling on Kon's cheeks for the insult, Chizuru continues speaking to her mother.

"Can I keep him, he's pretty cool?"

Kon stops struggling at this. Never since coming to live at Ichigo's had he been called cool or anything of the sort. It was just one abusive moment after another. In fact Kon was actually thinking about running away because of this treatment. The treatment was so bad he wasn't able to come out into the open until now. Besides there was something else that made Kon extremely happy. On the couch was a bombshell like no other. Large breast, wonderful silky skin, lovely legs, and a smirk so playful it made Kon weak. Kon was sure this was the place he should be living at for now on.

"Hmm," Chizuru's mother hums thoughtfully and nods. "Sure. You can keep him, but you need to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."

Giving her mother a wide cheeky grin, Chizuru responds with all the confidence as the daughter of Yoruichi Shiohin could.

"Of course, who do you think I am?"

Lauging, Yoruichi leaves the couch and places her hand on her beaming daughter's head.

"My idiot perverted daughter."

Watching Yoruichi walk away, Kon's eyes trail on Yoruichi's lower body, and he giggles.

"I'm really going to like this place."

Liking Kon's reaction, Chizuru giggles as well.

"I think we're going to get along."

Outside of Chizuru's apartment, watching from an adjacent building was a scowling Riruka.

"How dare she take that cute doll for herself? I want it."

Biting her thumb, Riruka wonders how to go about getting it when her phone goes off. She grabs the device from her pocket and answers it.

"Yeah."

A deep sigh is heard on the other line.

"Is that how you answer a phone?"

"Yes it is, so what is it, I'm busy?"

"Come on back, you're not supposed to be in Karakura it's dangerous right now with all the shinigami running around."

"But there's this cute doll I want."

"I'll buy you one later, just come on back we can't afford to be found out just yet, you know how dangerous that could be at our current strength."

Sighing deeply, Riruka nods and then answers.

"Fine, but when things are clear I'm coming back for my new doll."

"Only when things are safe, now come back."

"Fine, but don't order me around Ginjo."

Hanging up the phone, Riruka spares one last look at Chizuru's apartment and then vanishes in a blink.

Karakura Park

The experiment to recreate the Hogyoku was a failure or so I believed. This Hogyoku upon (partial) creation evaporated into reishi and scattered into the air. Thankfully I was able to quickly contain the reishi in a barrier. Howevrer without a proper container the reishi would escape from the makeshift barrier I created and possibly destroy a lot of things. Soooo, not really having any other option, I used the only thing in my possession to seal the resihi of the Failure Hogyoku. I sealed it within my experimental gigai constructed from the spirit signatures of three shinigami (one of which came from me) and a hollow…

Closing the file, Lisa narrows her eyes wondering what Urahara was thinking. The man was insane. No, insane wasn't quite the word for Urahara. Lisa didn't know the proper word to use for Urahara, but she thought of something pretty close to it.

"He's bat shit crazy."

Sighing deeply, Lisa sets the folder on her lap and watches the children play in the park.

"You found them."

Ears twitching slightly, Lisa tilt her head slightly to the right hearing the cold voice.

"I see," A moment of silence passes. "I want you to rough them up a bit, but only when they're alone, I don't want you bring any innocent people into the mix."

Now curious about what was about to happen, Lisa glances to the right completely to see a girl wearing the Karakura High girl's uniform, leaning against a tree, talking to someone on her cell.

"I understand how you feel, but you must not do anything draw attention to yourselves. The last thing we need is for someone to trace this back to me and my family." The girl scowls. "You will do as I say if you know what's good for you," The girl smiles. "I'm glad you understand, but be warned, if you cannot handle it yourselves then I will, and if I have to do anything, I'll not only deal with them, but you all as well."

The girl looks very familiar to Lisa and she understands why when she steps a little into the light.

'That girl…she's.'

Stepping out from the shadow of the tree, the girl reveals herself to be none other than Michiru Ogawa. The girl walks away, paying no mind to the openly staring Lisa, and continues with her conversation.

"No one messes with my family, I don't care who they are. The Small River Gang is not to be trifled with. Handle this well, please do, I rather not have to dirty my hands."

Tatsuki: Hmm, more development

Chizuru: Not enough ecchi, bring it back

Rukia: I believe it'll be back in full soon

Tatsuki: Why do you sound so excited?

Rukia: No reason

Chizuru: I still don't like what's going to happen

Tatsuki: Get over it

Michiru: We'll see you all next chapter during the third part…bye
