Hi, It's me! I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. In contrast to my OC in The Unknown Uchiha, this one is a lot different and personality wise…..I don't like either of them much for some reason. Anyway, I hope you'll like the story.

Sayaka: You probably don't like us 'cause we're way cooler than you.

Author: What're you DOING HERE! Go away before you embarrass me! You're Supposed to be in Sunagakure!

Sayaka: Well I like that! I'm the star of my story and that's how the author treats me. Despicable.

Author: I'll make sure this story is popular. As popular as my Naruto Fanfic, which, I hope you all check out.

Author: Commence!

(Karakura High School)

"Oy, Kurosaki, why'd you come so late today." Tatsuki asked Ichigo curiously.

"A truck…..crashed into our house." Ichigo said, uncertainly.

"Well whatever, just come into class." Tatsuki said.

"HELLO ICHIGO! Why are you so late!" Keigo screamed in his ear.

"Asano, don't scream in my ear!" Ichigo scowled.

"My My, so this is Kurosaki-san." A petite voice came from the other side.

"NANI!" Ichigo exclaimed in shock as he saw the same shinigami that had saved him and his family last night.

"My name is Kuchiki Rukia" She said, holding out her hand, as if they were meeting for the first time.

Ichigo wearily took her hand, only to find something written on it.

"Make a scene and I'll KILL YOU!"

Ichigo gulped and dropped the Rukia's hand. Rukia continued to smile angelically and then suddenly started dragging him to the roof.

"Excuse me, I need to talk to him." Rukia said, dragging Ichigo and smiling innocently.

(Urahara's shop)

Miyuki frantically searched for her socks. Ururu came into the room shyly.

"A-Are you looking for these." She held a pair of white socks up.

"Hai, Arigato, Ururu-san." She flashed Ururu a quick smile and grabbed her backpack and ran outside.

"I'm so late! I have to use shunpo today. Gomensai, Yoruichi-sensei. I know you told me not to use it for everyday life."

Miyuki jumped on the roof and used Shunpo to speed up.

Miyuki had changed a lot during the years. Her short black shoulder length hair, which had seemed stagnant to Renji, had now grown into silky and straight waist-length hair, tied in a loose, drooping kind of side-pony tails. She had grown a lot taller and was now around a modest 5 ft 6 inch. She was slender and wore the normal Karakura High School uniform. A striped tie, white shirt and a short, grey pleated skirt. Her skin had a fair, flawless feel to it, without as much as a freckle. The most surprising change to her was her eyes, which had changed colour. Her murky dark green eyes(Much like Hitsugaya's) had now become a crystal clear emerald green.(Think Sakura eyes). She had grown to be beautiful.

She reached the roof of her school and was about to proceed to go down by the staircase when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Ohayo, Minori-san! I didn't see you here when we came" Ichigo's unmistakable voice said as Miyuki froze. Miyuki was disguised under the name Obata Minori.

"Ah, O-Ohayo, I-Ichigo-san." Miyuki said, turning around slowly.

She first smiled at Ichigo and then her eyes moved to the short and petite girl smiling innocently yet frowning, worried whether Miyuki had heard anything, next to him.

Miyuki eyes widened in shock and her body did what felt like her heart had stopped beating. She couldn't believe it! What was Kuchiki Rukia doing HERE? In this little god-forsaken town in Japan! Rukia hadn't changed at all. Short, petite, shoulder length hair…..yes, she was exactly the same. Twenty years! She was meeting one of her two best friends after twenty years! Yet, Miyuki was in a fix, should she tell Rukia that it was actually her? She could, couldn't she? Rukia was the only other person who knew about her mission. Yes she would, even if it was a foolish and naïve thing to do.

"Ohayo, my name is Kuchiki Rukia." Rukia smiled at Miyuki sweetly.

"My name is…." Miyuki glanced at the door to the staircase. Ichigo had gone down already.

Miyuki unsmilingly dragged Rukia behind to the water tank.

"My name is…Utada Miyuki." Miyuki said quietly.

Rukia looked at Miyuki, initially puzzled but then astonishment broke over her in a wave. Rukia looked at Miyuki. Could this be the same Miyuki that she had spent her academy days and Gotei 13 ones with?

Rukia continued to stare at her.

"You…I thought you were dead. Ever since your Reiatsu disappeared around two weeks after you left everyone thought you were dead."

Miyuki didn't know what to make of this.

"Everyone thinks I'm dead just because of that technique Kisuke-san used to make my Reiatsu invisible to anyone in soul society? Everyone thinks I'm dead now? And Yamamoto-taichou sama didn't tell them anything?"

"Yes, the week before your reiatsu disappeared I told everyone you had gone on a mission. Now everyone thinks you died on the mission."

"Well, at least no one knows about where I am."

"Well…..everyone may exclude a few people."

"Like who?"

"Unohana-taichou…Ukitake-taichou….and Renji-kun."

Miyuki looked at Rukia for a few moments and then sighed.

"I don't want to quarrel with you Rukia-san…..but why?"

"Because Unohana-taichou is a mother figure in your life, Ukitake-taichou is your captain and the person you look upto the most. Renji-kun is…Need I explain Renji? And anyway they all think you're dead too."

"It's okay Rukia-san. But I need to clear up this death business. Please, when you go back, tell them I'm not dead. And if they ask where I am then tell them I…..am in a gigai. I hate lying and you know it but I'm sorry, I don't know when I'll go back again."

"You do know that Renji is in-charge of this area. He has the authority to capture you and bring you back and no doubt he will if he finds out you're in this area."

"In charge? What position is Renji-san in?"

"He's the lieutenant of the 6th division, under Onii-sama."

"Is he?" A small smile spread across Miyuki's lowered face.

"Miyuki-chan…..why were you gone for so long?"

"Gomensai….. Gomensai. My Zanpakuto was hard to master."

So you both are friends?" A confused voice said from above the tank.

"ICHIGO! YOU SNAKE! YOU'VE BEEN LISTENING TO EVERYTHING! COME DOWN HERE AT ONCE!" Rukia shouted, pissed off.

"But…he'll find out anyway. Please don't shout at him, Rukia-san."

"I won't. I'm going to hit him hard. But it seems you still haven't lost your pacifist nature."

"No. Not much."

"Well….just remember this. You're solely missed in Sereitei. Especially by Unohana-taichou and Renji-kun. But Renji-kun going to be very angry….hysterical more like it. He really was upset when he found out you were 'dead' " Rukia said.

Ichigo walked over to them and narrowed his eyes.

"Well okay then….What's your real name…" Before he could finish Rukia punched him in the head.

"FIRST YOU EAVESDROP AND THEN MAKE DEMANDS! SHE'S NOT TELLING YOU…."

"No, Rukia-san, I'll tell him, it's okay."

"My name is Utada Miyuki, I was a 5th seated officer in Rukia's division."

"Why are you here?" Ichigo asked her curiously but she dismissed the question with a weary flick of her hand. She didn't want to reveal too much at once.

"Well Ichigo-san, I told you to consider whether you'll do the shinigami work. What's your answer?"

"No, absolutely not! The only reason I fought yesterday was because my family was in danger."

"But you have to take over my job. It's your fault I lost my shinigami powers and am now stuck in this gigai."

"Nani! What happened?" Miyuki exclaimed in surprise.

Rukia explained everything to Miyuki. How the hollow had attacked the clinic and how Ichigo had 'selfishly', from her perspective, taken all her powers to protect them.

"I didn't know I was going to absorb all of your weird power!" Ichigo protested.

"Fine, I forgive you, but in return you have to fulfill my duties."

"No, I said I'm not and that means I'm not."

Rukia sighed and her pushed her skull gloves through his body, forcing him to turn into a shinigami.

"Why did you turn me into…" Ichigo was cut

As they had gone to the artificial world Miyuki had changed into shinigami form as well. Rukia looked happily at her; she hadn't seen Miyuki in that uniform so long! She looked at the sealed Zanpakuto's handle. It was black in colour and had a yellow sun crest on it.

Rukia started running towards the children's park while Ichigo and Miyuki followed close behind. Suddenly the terrible roar of a hideous hollow rang through their ears.

Miyuki's hand automatically went to the handle of her Zanpakuto but Rukia gave her hard stare which Miyuki understood.

"Oh well, Ichigo's not going to save that little boy. You're too tired to fight, right Miyuki-san. I feel sorry for him but there's nothing we can do." Rukia secretly glanced at Ichigo, who was being torn between wanting to save the boy and wanting to keep his word about not taking Rukia's job.

The poor boy ran for his life until Ichigo couldn't resist. He swung his sword and finished the hollow in a few minutes.

"Why did you help him? He was a complete stranger. You had no reason to save him."

Ichigo turned around and said,

"Are you any different! You sacrificed yourself to save me that time! At that time were you thinking about complicated stuff like "this is my Shinigami duty"! That's not what sacrificing yourself is! At the very least... I'm different! I haven't accepted any commitment... If things get bad I might run away... since I'm not a good enough person to be able to sacrifice my life for total strangers. But... unfortunately I'm also not trash that can live happily without paying back his debts!"

Rukia was quite satisfied with the answer. She turned around and winked at her best friend, who was sighed and shook her head in despair.

Rukia turned back to Ichigo and smiled angelically.

"Right, Kurosaki Ichigo, your shinigami duties begin now!"
