Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach just my OST characters

When we all made it back to Urahara's shop they immediately encountered Jinta who scowled at their new guests. "Oi who the hell are they?! I'm not cleaning up at them!"

Maharet chuckled, "My my Urahara it seems you have another riled up one. How come it seems you always pick a trouble maker?"

Urahara just fanned himself, "I have no idea what you mean."

"Hey who you callin' a troublemaker?" Jinta pointed at Maharet.

She looked at him and smiled softly, while Jinta's cheeks slowly turned red. She walked up to him and he just seemed to get shyer the closer she got. She kneeled down to be eye-level with him, "And who might you be young man?"

Jinta bashfully looked at Maharet and mumbled, "Jinta Hanakri."

"What a handsome name, don't you think you guys?" Maharet turned her head to the group, who nodded.

At that moment Ururu walked out and saw Jinta blushing. What's going on? She looked and saw Maharet speaking with Jinta, Wow she's really beautiful. Maharet looked up and saw Ururu standing in the doorway "Oh my, come child no need to be shy."

Ururu slowly walked up to Maharet and looked at the ground, "I'm Ururu Tsumugiya, nice to meet you."

Ururu felt Maharet lift her head gently to look in her eyes. Maharet smiled brightly at her, "What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." Ururu's whole face went red.

Maharet chuckled and stood looking at both children who were looking up at her. Soon a look of realization was on Maharet's face, "Oh my, how rude of me. I'm Maharet and these are my children." She said while gesturing behind her.

Jinta was gawking, "All of them?!"

Maharet chuckled, "Well not by blood per say but that's a conversation for another time. Now Urahara," She turned to look at him, "lead the way."

He laughed and bowed to her, leaving both children surprised, "Of course, right this way." They all filed in after Urahara leaving both the children dumfounded outside.

"What just happened?!" Jinta yelled which Ururu just shook her head at.

When the group was situated at the table Tessai opened the door with a tray full of tea cups in his hand, looking down. "Urahara-san I wish you gave me more time to prepare for so many guests."

"Well then it wouldn't be a surprise would it Tessai?" Maharet spoke with a small smile.

Tessai dropped the tray making Akira curse since she was closest to the door. Tessai who had a look of astonishment, looked at Maharet who stood up and walked around the table to him. She looked at him and smiled softly, "I'm back."

Tessai's eyes started to slowly tear up and hugged Maharet, "Maharet-sama!"

She returned the hug and laughed, "I thought we agreed to drop the sama at the end."

Tessai let her go slowly and smiled down at her with tears still in his eyes. "Of course."

"It's good to see you again." She said while patting his arm.

Urahara coughed into his hand, "Well now that you know that she's here why don't we get down to business."

"Oh? So serious. Are you perhaps jealous that Tessai got a hug and you didn't?" Maharet said teasingly.

"Jealous? Me? No." he said looking away and pouting.

Urahara felt her hug him from the side, "If you wanted a hug all you had to do was ask Urahara."

He smiled at her, "I know."

Maharet smiled and sat back down on her seat. "Now down to business. You're probably wondering why we're back."

Urahara looked seriously at her, "Yes because I know there is only one reason you would come back, and I know it hasn't come to that."

"Oh but it has Urahara." He looked at her and saw that her face was serious.

"But Aizen doesn't pose that great of a threat." He said almost panicked. Rukia and Ichigo looked at Urahara with surprise, He's never looked so scared, not even when he thought Rukia was going to be executed.

"That's where you're mistaken, his actions may not seem dangerous but they are. His plans have set many more in motion. You and I both know that the Soul Society isn't everyone's favorite and they are getting ready to strike. The Soul Society thought that losing two of their captains to betrayal crippled them, they don't know what is coming. I'm still not exactly sure who might strike but there is in particular one group that concerns me greatly. It's time for my interference and the Soul King agrees."

Urahara looked troubled but didn't get to answer before Rukia spoke up, "Wait I'm sorry but what do you guys exactly do Maharet?" Ichigo nodded wanting to know also.

Maharet looked at them both and they both became unnerved by her intense stare. "Well it's a very long story but the abridged version would be that my children and I protect the human world and Soul Society from threats that need immediate attending to. Usually we don't interfere in 'official' Shinigami business but when the threat is extremely imminent we will and in all my life no such time has come till now."

Rukia looked shocked, "Is it that grave? Aizen I mean."

Maharet looked troubled, "Not necessarily him but the impact he will make will."

Rukia looked troubled and so did Ichigo, "Theirs one thing that bothers me," Ichigo spoke up gaining Maharet's attention, "you said the Soul King agrees. How do you know he does?"

She smiled a little, "That's because I have a direct line to him for discussions on the level of threats and if they are that dangerous." Ichigo and Rukia gawked at her, making her laugh, "I know you must be shocked but that story is for another time. Now is for more important matters. Urahara," She turned her attention to the shop keeper, "it's time for me to go home."

Urahara smiled knowingly, "I think that's been long overdue. Ichigo and Rukia will go with you."

Both of them turned to Urahara, "Why?!" both of them yelled.

"Because you'll have to report this, it is your job after all and I think a call won't suffice for the Head Captain." Urahara said behind his fan.

Both teens grumbled and agreed, "Don't worry it'll be fun."

Ichigo looked at Urahara, "I think my version of fun is much different than yours."

They all made their way down to the underground training area with Tessai blushing as Maharet complimented his work. The "children" hummed with excitement, even Rin though her face was stoic. Ichigo and Rukia looked at the group curiously, I can't believe they are what the Soul Society has to rely on. Rukia thought but not with disdain but curiosity.

"Well here we are." Urahara said cheerfully.

Sora squealed and jumped on Ichigo's back, "Yea let's go!" Ichigo grimaced by her shouting in his ear.

Maharet walked up to Urahara and hugged him warmly, "I wish it didn't have to come to this." She said only for them to hear.

"Me too." He said with a sigh, "You seemed to finally be happy."

She let him go and smiled softly up at him, "I was, I thought that it would never end. But of course I can't ever be truly happy, can I?"

Urahara started to tear up a little, "You will be your too stubborn."

Maharet laughed with tears in her eyes, "Maybe. Thank you, Urahara."

He smiled at her, "Your welcome, Maharet."

"Oi if you too are done we'd like to get going!" Akira yelled.

Urahara laughed, "Of course don't want to delay your journey." He walked a little away from them and opened the Senkaimon, "Safe travels."

They all stepped through the Senkaimon with Maharet last and Ichigo and Rukia in front. "Follow closely!" they yelled from the front.

Soon there was a light and they were transported to the front of the 1st division. Rukia turned toward the group, "There is a Captains meeting going on right now so we better," She didn't get to finish when she saw she was talking to no one. She turned around and saw them in front of the doors, "Wait!"

She ran in front of them to block their path, "We can't go in there!"

"Why the hell not?! We traveled all the way here just to wait?!" Akira yelled.

"For once I agree with the imbecile, this is the best time since all the Captains are gathered." Sakura spoke up.

"Please Kuchiki-san waiting could only make things worse." Sora spoke up.

Rukia was about to object when saw a shadow over her. She looked up and saw Maharet towering over her with a look of determination, "Step aside Rukia." Rukia visibly gulped and slowly stepped aside.

Maharet pushed open the doors and made her way down the meeting hall. Everyone quickly following after her leaving Rukia and Ichigo in the back. They both looked shocked, She was so intimidating Rukia and Ichigo thought. They saw two guards in front of the doors to the meeting hall, Great, just what we needed. Rukia thought with exasperation.

"Hey you can't be here!" one guard shouted toward the group.

Maharet walked up to them making them shrink back a little, they were slightly taller than her but they felt so small in her intense stare. "Move aside."

One of the guards gulped and said quietly but still trying to be firm, "I can't let you go in there, only captains are allowed and you're clearly not a Shinigami."

She took a deep breath through her nose and closed her eyes. "Boy if you don't move now I'll have to do it by force so I'll tell you one more time." She slowly looked up at them, "Move. Aside."

They both immediately moved to either side of the doors leaving the whole group space. Slowly Maharet opened the doors to the low lit room and was greeted by all the Captains looking in their direction.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?! This is an official Captains meeting! State your business!" The Head Captain yelled from his position at the end of the room.

"Well I'm surprised Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, is that the way you're supposed to greet me?" Maharet spoke while walking closer to the middle of the room revealing herself in the light.

The Head Captain stood up swiftly with a look of surprise which surprised everyone. He slowly walked to Maharet with a look of shock on his face. Maharet was smiling softly at him. "Hello Genryusai."

He looked up at her and bowed deeply to her surprising everyone in the room, "Welcome back."
