Author's Note - If things are OOc point them out and ill try to fix it. It's been a while since I watched Bleach

The shopkeeper was half right, mainly because near and far are relative. Amaterasu stepped out of the gate several miles from her intended destination and into a riot. She saw with amusement that the riot almost immediately ceased upon somebody pointing her out. She figured that she had better not press her luck and took off running.

The people that she left behind in the dust on the other hand simply blink and return to bludgeoning one another over some food.

The afterlife is not what most people believed it to be. It was more akin to traveling to another world then actually dying. Death in this world was still a very real thing and Amaterasu had no doubt that much bloodshed occurred daily. This should have fazed her, but it did not. Life regardless of location is always a battle either with others, the world, or one self.

Amaterasu noticed that she had inadvertently caused mass hysteria. It was definitely a change from the world of the living, mostly because living people tended to ignore anything too out of the ordinary. She was certainly not going to reveal her human shape, it would be a waste of time to do so since nobody here would really notice.

She spied her destination in the distance. It was hard to miss since it was simply a large wall. It also had a peculiar smell to it. The scent was very similar to that of a pond that had remained still long enough for disease and filth to grow in it. It was time for the winds of change to begin blowing.

Amaterasu drew a spiral in the air and took off as a near by leaf was blown into the sky.

Amaterasu spent quite awhile bounding from roof to roof before arriving at the walls of Seireitei. She spied a giant guarding the gate and snorted at the silliness. The cat was right, it appeared the the long period of peace and caused the intelligence of the interior to drop.

It was quite obvious that the giant was intended to intimidate outsiders and deter them from entering the fortress. It was an honorable giant and would likely allow anyone who could defeat him in battle through.

If the people inside truly intended to keep newcomers out then they should've kept the giant on the other side of the door. If outsiders couldn't challenge him then he obviously would not open the door. At the very least they could've used a ruthless barbarian instead of a polite well mannered one.

Amaterasu had a decision to make, how was she going to go about entering the citadel? She could do it the old fashioned way and challenge the giant. She could blow him up. She could dig her way under the walls. She could also cut her way through.

In the end the wolf decided to have a little fun.

The next day Seireitei was greeted with an in explicably heavy fog followed by an explosion just as the sun was reaching its zenith. The effect was immediate. The shinigami were in chaos. Hundreds of them ran about as if they were chickens missing their heads. They were so busy repairing the gate that had been suspiciously blown up by three large bombs that they did not notice the canine walking over and down the wall.

A captain and lieutenant meeting had been in session when the explosion was heard. The captains immediately became irritated with being stuck in the meeting longer then necessary. It was followed shortly after by a rather ruffled looking officer.

"Someone has broken in to Seireitei!" He cried.

The head captain was about to dismiss the officer when he spoke again.

"WE DID NOT PICK UP ANY REIATSU OF ANY KIND! ITS SOMETHING THATS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE"

That had the effect of immediately silencing everyone in the room. No reiatsu? That couldn't be right. Everything in Soul Society had SOME sort of reiatsu.

"…. I see" Said the head captain. "Captains! Lieutenants! You are dismissed from this meeting! GET THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND!"

Amaterasu was having the time of her life. At first she had been a little disappointed that nobody could sense her presence. That was no surprise. She was neither dead, nor was she mortal. The shinigami could no more sense her presence then a blind man paint could paint a rainbow. The only sense they could use were their mortal, human senses.

Amaterasu looked down from one of the buildings to see several figures in white mingling amongst the ones in black.

She wondered how long it would take them to notice that she was here. Amaterasu wasn't about to make it easy for them to find her either. Whenever someone got close, they would find them selves suddenly drenched in water. Battle hungry warriors would find them selves in the middle of heavy fog.

*SMASH* went one of the pots.

"I heard something coming from over there!" Cried a young girl as she rounded the corner.

She only caught a glimpse of white fur going over the wall before she was surrounded by a heavy fog and found herself getting blown backwards by an exceptionally strong gust of wind.

A bald shinigami ran down a corridor towards the source of the commotion when he tripped over something. He got up and turned around to see what he tripped over and he saw a giant white wolf with a giant orange, seven pointed blade on its back. The wolf grinned up at him before getting up and running at a wall.

Before his very eyes, the wolf swung its blade and cut through the wall and disappeared.

The bald man stared at the missing wall for a few moments before standing up and running after it. That wolf had been stronger then some of his fellow officers and he wanted a fight. "Come back here and fight me like a man!" He shouted.

Amaterasu rolled her eyes when she heard him call. -Of course I won't. I am NOT a man-
