Hey, all. Just wanted to let ya know, my good friend Jamie (A.K.A. Koukeisha-chan) has begun writing a parody based off of Soul Society Chronicles. The story is from Koukeisha Karasu's point of view. It's ver humorous. You will like it. Since she doesn't have a fanfiction account, I have posted it for her. It's titled "Kou's Shorts" and all credit goes to Jamie.

Chapter 17 : Departure
The sun shined brightly down on the Soul Society. A couple days had passed since Jonouchi's execution date and Aizen's traitorous acts. Regardless of the events from the earlier days, the birds happily sang. In fact, the Soul Society wasn't letting any of this get to them. They had prepared their counter measures, and were awaiting Aizen's first move. Nothing had happened since Aizen left. The Seireitei was keeping calm, but remaining cautious. Everyone was otherwise going about their own business.
The gates to the Senkaimon had begun to open, and the small group that had gathered around slowly backed up, giving the gate keepers room to work. Jonouchi stood there with a few of his possesions, smiling to the group of on-lookers. "Well, I guess I should be on my way." he said.
"Be careful, ok?" Koukeisha smiled. "We don't need you dying on us. Just report back here if anything happens. Don't go off on your own."
"I know, I know." Jonouchi frowned. "Don't worry, I'm not taking Aizen on my own."
"Just come back in one piece." Kaze Akurei said.
"Yeah, Jou. Just don't get involved with anything you can't handle. We still haven't had our rematch yet." Zaraki Kenpachi grinned.
"Yeah, I know..." Jonouchi said once more.
"Seriously though. We can't afford to lose any other Captains. Just call for back up as soon as anything happens. I don't care if it's something as small as a single Gillian." Hitsugaya commented.
"For the last time, I KNOW!" Jonouchi shouted. Everyone (excluding Hitsugaya) laughed.
"Please, have a safe trip..." Kalinda smiled, kissing him. He returned the kiss and smiled. "And come back soon."
"I will." Jonouchi replied. "Just give me a few weeks. I'll be back, un-harmed." Jonouchi turned and walked through the gate, a Hell Butterfly following close behind. He disappeared into the gate, and it soon closed behind him. Kalinda frowned as the gate closed.
"Don't worry, it's only for a couple weeks." Koukeisha replied. "He'll be fine. You just have to have faith in him."
"I just can't help but worry about him, after all that's happened." Kalinda responded.
"There's only one problem with this situation." Hitsugaya spoke.
"And that is?" Kaze Akurei questioned, a dumbfounded look crossing his face.
""And that is he was given back his Captain position." Hitsugaya replied. "He was set up by Aizen and Gin when he first became Captain. He may have beaten Captain Zaraki, but during that fight, Zaraki was wearing a second Spirit Restraint. Jonouchi had a difficult time winning as it was. Think of a Captain at full strength fighting him. He wouldn't last a minute."
"Don't say that." Koukeisha grinned. "One way to show you're Captain worthy is to use a Bankai in the presense of 3 or more Captains, isn't it? I think he did just that at his execution."
"She's gotta point." Zaraki smirked.
"Whatever." Hitsugaya frowned. "I have a lot of work to catch up on. If anything happens, somebody come and get me." he said, Flash Stepping away.
"Yeah, same here." Zaraki spoke. "I'll see you all around sometime." Zaraki walked away, towards the 11th Squad Headquarters. Well, what he THOUGHT was the 11th Squad Headquarters.
"He's never been good with directions." Kalinda laughed.
"Hey, I'm out as well." Kaze Akurei frowned. "Since the Captain's not here, I have to pick up his slack. Don't be too long, Koukeisha." With those final words, he raced off.
"That kid seems to tense." Kalinda sighed.
"Yeah... But that's Kaze for ya." Koukeisha smiled. There was a moment of silence before she spoke. "So... You have all of your plans made already?" she asked Kalinda as they began to walk away from the gate.
"Ha..." Kalinda managed a small laugh as she blushed. "No... None at all."
"Well, why don't you swing by my place?" Koukeisha asked. "We have plenty of time. I can help you!"
"But what about Kaze... I thought-"
"Oh, he won't care!" Koukeisha grinned from ear to ear. "Besides, you honestly think he's working?"
"Point taken." Kalinda said. She rose a finger to get Koukeisha's attention. "Wait... Why don't we head to my place instead? It's a lot closer to Squad 13 then it is Squad 3."
"Ok. I've never seen your house before. I can't wait. And it shouldn't take too long to plan either."
"Just follow me, and I'll take you there." Kalinda grinned.
Several minutes passed by as they walked to Kalinda's home. They came to a small cottage, no bigger than Jonouchi's home. They walked up to the door, and Kalinda turned the knob. There was a small clicking noise, and the knob would not turn. "Damn it..." she cursed, pulling a key from the inside of her wardrobe. She unlocked the door and entered. Koukeisha was astounded at what she saw. The outside of the house was beautiful, but the inside. It looked like someone had raided the house. "Oh, come on..." Kalinda sighed. "Not this again... Please excuse the mess, and watch your step." There was junk all over the floor. Furntiture overturned, wall hangings all ascew.
Koukeisha began following Kalinda into the house, stepping over all obsticles. Koukeisha paused for a moment. Something didn't seem right to her. She looked around, and something caught her eye. It was a large, circular mirror. It was the only section of the house that seemed untouched. She stared at the mirror a bit longer and noticed something else. She placed her hand on the hilt of her Zanpakuto and waited.
"FREEZE!" came a shout, and Koukeisha swung around, drawing her blade. She swung to defend against the attackers sword, but her blade kept going. It didn't even make contact. The attacker froze, horrified. It was then that Koukeisha realized that the reason her blade kept going was because it sliced right through the attackers blade. She examined her attacker and grinned. It was a young boy who appeared to be about 9 or 10 years old.
"Shizuya!" Kalinda shouted. "What the hell is your problem!?" The kid seemed to cower in fear as Kalinda spoke.
"You know him?" Koukeisha asked.
"Yeah..." she groaned. "He's my annoying little brother..." Koukeisha did a sort of double take. The kid had short, light brown hair, and was no taller than four feet.
"But, no resemblence?"
"Nope." Kalinda growled. "He's a hyperactive brat that doesn't do ANYTHING he's told." There was a certain darkness when she spoke. A darkness that Koukeisha was NOT going to question. "Shizuya, I told you the last time I cleaned up after you that I wanted it KEPT clean!"
"It's my house too!" he shouted in return.
"This is MY house! I took you in out of KINDNESS and could easily kick your scrawny ass out!" Kalinda paused for a moment and pointed. "And YOU! You think I don't know your tricks by now?" From the direction she pointed walked another kid, but this one was about as tall as Koukeisha. He had hair about Shizuya's length, but his hair was a bit darker. "Damn it, why do I have to put up with you two!?" she growled. "Go outside and play." The two boys did as they were told, not questioning Kalinda. In fact, they seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
"So, it's like this everyday?" Koukeisha asked with a small smile.
"Yeah... But that will all be over with soon. As soon as I get the hell out of here... Or they graduate the academy and are put into a Squad seperate from mine..."
"Speaking of getting you out of here..." Koukeisha laughed. "Aren't we here to plan that wedding?"
He looked around taking in his surroundings as he walked from the open gate, a Hell Butterfly following behind him. He smiled. Nothing had changed since he had last been here. To Jonouchi, Karakura town remained the same. He had made it safely.
