AN: Here i am again. I'm sorry i just don't have that much time to write anymore, and this chapter isn't great, actually it's not even finished, but i'm confident that the next ones will be better! :)

I thank you for your nice reviews and i can assure you that i won't make it a romance! Ichigo and Byakuya will be close friends but that's all! Everything else would be against my imagination of the story and the end i have in mind wouldn't make sense anymore!

Have fun reading. ^_^

Chapter 15-Suspicious

Kisuke sat in his lab, working on some researches. Suddenly a Hellbutterfly flew through the open window, and sat down before the blonde.

A deep booming voice, suddenly rang out, telling the blonde captain that he had to attend an emergency meeting of the captains of the Gotei 13.
"This is unsual," he thought to himself. "What could have caused an emergency meeting? Did I miss something? Well, maybe I can gather some information about the issue with Ichigo…

Let's get going, Time Machine has to wait."

He rose from his seat, and made his way towards the first division headquarters, where all the Captains soon would appear.

A while later:

All 13 Captains were present at the first division quarters.

There was the Head Captain himself, Yamamoto. He stood proudly at the end of the two rows of captains, looking over the younger captains.

Yoruichi was captain of the second division, leading the special forces. She had a huge smirk on her face, and didn't look like she took the whole situation serious.

The third Division was represented by Rojuro Otoribashi, a tall man, with long blonde hair. He seemed to glow with a certain grace, but with a feminine touch to it. Nevertheless he looked strong.

Retsu Unohana was Captain of the 4th Division. She was the healer of the Gotei 13, and she was much of a motherly figure, with long braided hair and a gentle smile on her face. But Kisuke knew not to mess with her, because she could get scary as hell. She was an overall respected Captain.

The next in line was Shinjo Hirako from the 5th Division. He had long blonde hair, with a more or less weird haircut, and he was a bit of a goofball. Kisuke liked him much.

Then there was Ginrei Kuchiki. He looked grim like always and his eyes were fixed on the head captain. He was a stoic old man, but very powerful. He hadn't spoken a word with Kisuke yet, and he didn't know if he even wanted to.

Love Aikawa represented the 7th Division. He had a huge afro and wore shades, but he didn't so much as a Captain, so Kisuke thought.

Shunsui Kyouraku was one of Kisukes good friends. The man was lazy and definitely drank too much, but he was like a son to the captain commander.

Next to him was Kensei Muguruma, a well trained man with silver hair, that seemed to have an attitude problem, since he always seemed to be aggressive.

Then there was the most interesting guy: Isshin Kurosaki. Kisuke saw the man in a completely different light after he met Ichigo, and it wasn't easy for him not to tell him, since they were pretty close. He just hoped everything would be okay for the time being.

Next to Isshin was Kenpachi Kiganju. That man was a brute beast, and nobody actually liked him that much. And Kisuke wasn't all that happy that he had to stand next to that huge sweaty man, who didn't give a fuck about anything.

The other captain next to Kisuke was Jushiro Ukitake, another good friend of Kisuke, he had white long hair and a caring expression. Albeit he was a little sick, he was one of the strongest captains present.

Everyone seemed to be surprised about this emergency meeting, the only one who didn't show any emotion at all was Ginrei, but that wasn't that surprising, since it was rare for him to show any.

"Captains of the Gotei 13, I ordered you all here because of an emergency. We recorded high Hollow activities in a certain part of the Rukongai, and it is getting closer to the Seireitei, and the Shino Academy. Until now there weren't any attacks on Plus or patrolling Shinigami. We assume they target something, but we do not know their destiny. We need defense lines at the Academy, as well the outer walls of Seireitei. They are nearing with incredible speed, so we don't have the time to build up any forces, or sending teams of each squad.

The teachers of the Academy are already alarmed, but we need to protect the students if they were targeted.

Therefore I order Captains Urahara, Kuchiki and Kurosaki to defend the Academy, while Hirako, Kyoraku and Shihohin will defend Seireitei if necessary. And don't let them get in. Unohana-taicho will accompany you all in case of any injured.

The rest will stay behind, but please stay alerted; we do not know what may happen."

Without waiting for an answer the Head Captain turned around and left, while said captains left with a static sound of Shunpo.

Kisuke stayed a moment behind, searching for eye contact with his pal Isshin. Nodding they left as well without waiting for Ginrei, heading for the Academy.

On their way Isshin asked him: "Isn't your son at the Academy, Kisuke?"

"Yes, he is…"

"I see…"

At the Academy a few minutes before:

Ichigo and Byakuya sat at the canteen and ate their lunch. It was a really weird day. It seemed like there was a tension all over the academy, like surrounding it, and slowly pressing down on all people.

The teachers seemed edgy, and a few were even absent today, and some classes were dismissed.

Ichigo had a bad feeling in his gut, he knew something was up.

"What's wrong Ichigo? You're spacing out." Byakuya asked without looking up from his meal.

"I just… Dunno. Something's up." Ichigo said between two bites of curry.

Just a few seconds later both felt some familiar reiatsus appear within the academy, and with a slight glance at each other, they left.

With the captains:

Kisuke and Isshin arrived at the Academy quickly, and some of the teachers were already outside to welcome them and inform them of the current situation.

"Ah, good that you're finally here, they've come close, and some of the students are quite edgy already… " the headmaster said with concern in his voice.

"Alright, we'll get that under control. Kuchiki-taicho is on his way here as well. There won't be any problem." Isshin said with a smirk.

While Isshin and the teachers kept on talking about unimportant things, Kisuke already felt Ichigo and Byakuya heading towards them.

After a minute Ginrei Kuchiki arrived, as well as the two prodigies, and Kisuke witnessed the hateful glare Ginrei shot towards Ichigo, and he couldn't help it but wonder why the noble would hate Ichigo. Had he already blown his cover? His thoughts were interrupted by Ichigo approaching him, ignoring all looks and asking: "Father, what are you doing here, what the heck is going on?"

"Listen, Ichigo. You and Kuchiki-san have to leave, the Academy may be under attack and we can't have you two standing in our ways, it would be better…" But Kisuke could never finish his sentence as a loud boom echoed through the campus, followed by a loud roar of a Hollow.

"Oh, Shit…"

AN: As i already said... next one will be better! There'll be fighting action and maybe Ichigo will use his "Zanopakuto"? Who knows? ;)
