AN: 100 Reviews! *-* Thank you so much, guys! I never imagined this story to become so successful here! :) This is so great.

I know, it has been a long time again, but blame school! We have "Abitur" in Germany right now, and I'm so done! But soon I'll be off to college! Sweet! :)

So, here is the new chapter!

Chapter 17 – Revelation?

They all sat in the office of the headmaster of the school and looked at the young soul before them. Ichigo had taken his Urahara disguise on, in case someone would see him.

"Well, Urahara-kun, I guess it's your turn to tell us what just happened, since I have no clue, and I would love to know… " the headmaster said with a smirk on his face.

"Alright, listen. I'm not actually who I said I was. " Ichigo hesitated.

"You're not his father, are you, Urahara Kisuke?" Byakuya asked carefully.

Kisuke looked at his old friend, unsure what to say, since he didn't know what Ichigo was going to tell everybody, but he received a slight nod, before he said: "No, I'm not his biological father."

"But what about the looks? He surely looks like a mini Kisuke, ne?" Isshin said.

"This is simply an illusion, right. I something just had to be believable about me being his son, since I came out of nowhere, mh? You've seen my real appearance when I fought the Hollows, but as you've seen… looking like that it's hard to keep low profile. " At that point he had to laugh before he continued. "Even though I managed to blow my cover looking like a nobody, no offense, Kisuke."

"Back to the point. I don't know how to put this, because you wouldn't believe me anyway…" Ichigo had no idea how to tell everybody that he was from the future. He wanted these people to know, he needed the support, especially from Byakuya, and the headmaster of the academy, that would make everything easier.

"I'm not from Rukongai." Ichigo simply stated.

"Well? Than tell us, where are you from?" Isshin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The living world."

"That's not possible, don't be ridiculous." Byakuya said, a confused look on his face.

"Wait, does that mean you didn't lose your memories when you crossed over to the soul society? That is pretty rare. It would mean that you already had a high spiritual pressure when you were alive." It was Isshin who came to this conclusion, and he was shocked at least. The only existing soul reaper who came here with his memories was the Soutaicho himself. When he was alive, he had been able to see Shinigami and Hollows, and he'd become incredibly strong over the years. Would it be the same with Ichigo?

"That's basically right, Kurosaki-taicho. But that's not all. I was a Shinigami when I was still alive, using my actual body as a Gigai."

That shocked everyone. That was unheard of!

"Urahara-san, is that possible?"
Everyone looked at the 12th division captain, who kept mostly silent during these shocking revelations.

"I can assure you, this is possible. It's not even that complicated, only the part when the powers are awakened is a little tricky, otherwise he only needs enough reiatsu, and that he certainly has." Kisuke said without looking up from the table.

"But the Gotei would know about something like this right?"

"Well, surely the Gotei 13 would notice, but they couldn't…"

"Why is that?" Isshin asked.

"… it hasn't happened yet?" Ichigo muttered.

There was silence. Nobody knew what to make of this comment. Did Ichigo say the truth? But how?

Byakuya was simply shocked. It coulden't be…

"But when..?"

"I'll be born in the living world in about… 150 years?" Again, the silence was almost unbearable, before everyone started talking at the same time, asking Ichigo questions.

"Please, let me explain!" Ichigo yelled at the others.

Flashback:

Ichigo was at his inner world, some minutes before he would have to explain everyone his situation. Ichigo was still unsure and had a bad feeling in his gut, and he regretted his choice of showing the others too much of himself. He definitely wouldn't tell the others about the issue with Aizen, the Hogyoku and the whole Winter War. But he couldn't deny that he was not from that time, but it seemed impossible to explain his time-travelling issue without giving away too much of their future.

"Ichigo, calm yourself. We can think of something, right?"

It was Zangetsu speaking to him. He was the only one present at that time. For some reason however his Hollow as absent, which was unusual, but Ichigo had no time to think about that.

"Remember what Kisuke told us once about the Dangai and the Cleaner, we could make use of that, couldn't we. Time flows differently there, we know that already, don't we?"

"You're right!"

Ichigo quickly disappeared from his inner world, leaving the smirking Zanpakuto spirit behind.

Curren Time:

"Alright, this is not as special as you think, it was simply an accident. When I was alive, I was ordered to come to the Seireitei to report to some of the Captains at that time." Ichigo glanced at Byakuya, who looked horribly confused.

"So I opened up a Senkaimon to reach Soul Society immediately. But as I seem to have quite bad luck, just as I stepped in, the Cleaner appeared. I had no chance of dodging and the impact brought me back in time and at the same moment, I died. So I ended up here, and since it is rare to survive such an crash and not lose all powers with that, I decided to keep low profile. I didn't want to cause Fehler! Hyperlink-Referenz ungültig.any trouble, or confuse the people with the now uncertain future. I thought you wouldn't believe me anyway. The only person who knew was Urahara-taicho, since I crashed into his lab, for some reason. He helped me developing my current "plan" to become a real Shinigami, so here I am."

When Ichigo finished speaking everyone looked a little sad at his story, but they seemed to understand the young man in front of them.

"Thank you for sharing your story, Ichigo-san. I understand that this was no easy situation for you, and you can continue your studies at Shino Academy." The headmaster spoke with a warm smile, before he added. "But since you were a Shinigami already, which explains a lot of your fast progress during your time here, I expect you to graduate within the year."

"Thank you, Tokudaji-sensei."

After a quick bow Ichigo turned towards the rest of the group.

"Can we keep this a secret, please?"

The next morning:

Ichigo hadn't slept that well for a long time, it was a good feeling to tell someone a little bit about himself actually. Even though Byakuya had been very quiet during the previous evening, and he hadn't spoken a single word to Ichigo when they went to their rooms, which was a bit worrying. He would talk to him after breakfast.

As Ichigo packed his stuff for the day he noticed the all too "familiar" presence outside of his room, but this time it were two people spying on him. But what had caused that increase? Had the person witnessed the encounter yesterday? It had to be some teacher than, right? There was nobody else…

Wait! Ginrei? Could it be? The old taicho tried to accuse him of some crime, after he had fought the Hollows. It had to be him. Time to talk to Byakuya.

With a determined look on his face he went outside his room and knocked on Byakuya's door. When nobody opened, he reached out with his senses and found the young noble quickly, before rushing towards his direction.

Byakuya's pov:

To say he was confused was an understatement. He hadn't actually slept more than an hour during the last night. There were too many questions looming in his head, school was already forgotten. Was his friend really someone from the future? He said so, and the others seemed to believe his story, but it sounded wrong somehow. Byakuya wasn't sure anymore if he could trust the blonde anymore. He didn't really look like this! How could you trust someone, who is a complete lie? His looks, maybe even his personality. And he had seen the power. Ichigo was strong, and he knew that. Even stronger than a lieutenant, probably at captains strength?

Was he dangerous? Byakuya didn't know what to do. He had so many questions he liked to ask, but he was afraid as well. Maybe he was a spy? Working on something evil, you wouldn't even dream of…

It was a hard decision, but Byakuya decided to keep a certain distance from the young "Urahara" for now. Watching him from afar, studying his behavior. Even if it would cost their friendship, his well being was important, he was supposed to step up as clan head as soon as he was a captain, and he couldn't be connected with someone so unknown and mysterious as Ichigo. Even his grandfather seemed to know that something was off with him, he tried to accuse Ichigo for crimes hi did, didn't he?

Maybe he should listen to his grandfather from now on.

AN: Ooooooooooh! What's going to happen with little Byakuya? Will he listen to Ginrei and become a cold noble, or will Ichigo win him back? We'll see! ;D

Next time, hopefully some Ichigo - Ginrei - Action - Battle!

Love you all. :
