Kaien and Ukitake were not so secretly in love but couldn't act on it

It takes at least 50 years for a soul to be reincarnated, but can take up to 200 years as well.

Souls don't normally recall past incarnation. Kaien/Harry is exception.

Souls when reincarnated can change gender and species, so they could look completely different.

Harry still kind of looks like a Shiba, she actually looks like a female version of her past self.

She stands at about 5'3" when first introduced, then grows till 5'5" when the time-skip finishes.

She weighs maybe 100 lbs., 110 soaking wet.

Bra size is probably around DD, maybe E by the time Ichigo regains his powers.

Her hair is similar in appearance to Kukaku's, though it is a little straighter and slightly less spiky. It reaches to mid thighs by the end of time skip (but is always longer than Ukitake's), at her first appearance it reaches the top of her behind.

Her highs are a bright green, though sometimes they look more blue, and much like her past incarnation's aqua green eyes.

Nejibana's physical form is that of a mermaid (the ones from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). Nejibana is female.

A few nights after the battle of Hogwarts harry is dreaming, but she awakes once more in a world of white, which slowly turn into a small green island with a tree that is surrounded by water so deep the bottom is impossible to see, water lilies float along the top.

Death stands before her, where he asks her to follow him, for he has someone that has been waiting ever so patiently to meet her once more. (He calls her little master). He leads her to the island edge, and tells her she must call out this 'person's' name, Harry says she does not know it. Death insist that she does she just has to remember, he touches her forehead, and memories of a man's life flashes before her eyes. She collapses in pain crying out for Nejibana, who appears from the water without a ripple. And who wraps her up in her arms in comfort, Death leaves saying Nejibana has it under control and that he will return soon.

(When Harry first awakes in the white space she is once more naked, and tries to cover herself, a ragged cloak is draped over her shoulders by Death who appears behind her. It is the invisibility cloak.)

Nejibana holds her through the memories and helps Harry to assimilate them, and to not become overwhelmed by them. She falls asleep in her zanpakutō's arms, and then awakes in the human world.

Each time she falls asleep after this she once more ends up in her inner world, where either Nejibana or Death (who eventually tells her that he is the Spirit King) explain why she is being allowed to remember her past life as Kaien Shiba.

They tell her how a war is coming and there is little to be done to stop it from happening. But they say she can prepare and be ready to make her appearance and to help in the conflict.

So she soon begins to relearn the Shinigami arts while she sleeps. Kido comes to her very easily, since it is much like magic. (She also practices all types of magic, any that she can get her hands on, but does so in the living world).

One night a few weeks later it is different when she arrives. The world is just a white space with a giant tree in the middle. Harry having nothing to do, sits under the tree and falls asleep.

(I imagine once she got her memories back, she started wearing kimonos, so currently she is wearing a light blue one with waves along the bottom).

A figure appears in the distance and walks towards her. The figure turns out to be Ukitake Jūshirō, who approaches Harry sleeping figure. He gently shakes her awake unhappy to disturb such a beautifully peaceful sight. But does so anyway for he needs to know where he is, for it doesn't look like his inner world. She awakes yawning in that cute way, with one arm stretched above her head and the other rubbing one of her eyes while the other has little tears in the corner. Ukitake blushes. He clears his throat gaining the unknown females attention. She sits up straight and stares at him in surprise, she calls him Captain. Which startles Ukitake since he has never met this woman before, but figures that she most have seen or heard who he was. He asks her for her name, she apologizes and says her name is Harry, but that she used to be called Kaien. This shocked Ukitake and makes him stumble which worries Harry who goes to catch him. "Kaien" he asks, she nods, and says something about reincarnation and being lucky and getting to remember. He asks her what has happened to her, and she pulls him down to sit beside her, she tells him her story, and throughout it he pulls her closer, starting with holding her much smaller than before hand and then advancing to holding her against his chest with his arm over her shoulder.

Harry also mentions, when he calls her Kaien, that the name no longer truly suits her, but that her new name doesn't really fit her either. Ukitake ponders this thought and dubs her Kari-chan. She blushes, and glances up at him. Ukitake says she can call him Jūshirō in return, but she calls him Jū-san.

Kari then asks him what has happened in Soul Society since her death, so Jū tells her of the changes and what has become of her family, the Shiba clan. He then goes on to tell her about the invasion and the war with Aizen.

This gives her the idea of where to go when she leaves England, in hope that she could once more meet her Uncle Isshin, and in hope of interacting with her family. So it is decided to will love to Karakura.

The two remain in the white world for a while more before they are disturbed by their zanpakutōs, who have been off in the distance having their own reunion. (Nejibana kept the twins from interrupting their wielders, they call her auntie or cousin, perhaps even nee-chan). The twins tackle Ukitake in greeting and then glance at Kari from behind him, the whisper loudly that she's pretty, and they wouldn't mind calling her 'mommy', Kari starts to blush up a storm and attempts to hide said blush by covering her face with her hands. Ukitake splutters and tells Sōgyo no Kotowari to not say things like that. Nejibana cuts in saying that her mistress/master wouldn't mind having children, and that in fact she wants plenty to love and spoil. This statement makes them both blush, Harry then tells Nejibana that she didn't need to say that, Nejibana replies with she tells only the truth.

Kari having somewhat recovered greets the twins warmly, where they then proceed to call her momma, Harry is secretly very pleased. As is Ukitake.

(During the story telling, Ukitake kissed her forehead in comfort, and during his retelling of events she kisses his cheek. And when she hears about Aizen's betrayal she goes on a rant, claiming she never liked him and that he was always wearing this smug little smirk. Ukitake can't help but kiss her, which leaves her surprised at first but she soon returns. The two part flustered, but don't apologize for it. Ukitake just says she looked beautiful and he couldn't help himself. They kiss cheeks and foreheads off and in throughout the rest of their reunion.)

Time goes on in the white world, but it is determined that they should probably depart soon. Kari/Harry/Kaien hugs the twins' goodbye giving them each a kiss on the forehead, and gives Ukitake a longer lingering kiss. She then along with Nejibana starts to fade away, before she completely disappears, she says they will be reunited in person soon enough.

The 'new' couple awake in their own beds in their respective realms, both never mention the meeting, instinctively knowing it is not yet time.

A few more months go by for Harry, where she makes up with Gringotts (she makes a tentative alliance), finishes her magical education, packs up and moves to Karakura, Japan and buys the house next to the Kurosaki Clinic, and enrolls in the local High School, and nearby (Tokyo?) magical 'college'.

She makes quick friends with the twins (who are now about 13, and becomes like a big sister to them or a close older cousin), through them she meets a lonely and powerless Ichigo, whom she befriends. The two help to bolster each other's spirits, and are soon sparing together and teaching each other new things. Ichigo to regain/keep his strength, Harry to regain and relearn hers. The two later find out they are classmates when the term restarts (the fall after the battle of Hogwarts, so Harry is 18, but was technically held back a year in school, when she tested in. And which gives the summer for her to regain her memories and to meet Ukitake in a dream, and to then move to Japan and meet her 'family').

Eventually Harry builds up the courage to confront Isshin, so she can find out what really happened to the Shiba clan after her death. He is surprised at first by her claim, but he can sense her well hidden and disguised reiatsu which feels exactly like his nephew Kaien's. He welcomes her back to the family. And he later reintroduces her to the family as his 'long lost' niece. In private he clarifies to Ichigo (due to Harry's urging) how Harry is related. She decides not to move in with them though, having gained a liking for her space, though the Kurosaki/Shiba family spend equal amount of time at each other's homes.

Harry inquires to Isshin if it is at all possible for her to get into contact with Kukaku and Ganju, who she knows still 'live', he points her towards Urahara and Yuroichi. Who just like Isshin are surprised but can sense the truth to her claim, Yuroichi offers to be them messenger, so Harry writes an extremely long letter explaining the what and how of her death as a Shinigami and her rebirth as a female 'magician', she begs for their forgiveness and promises that as soon as she is able that she will visit. Yuroichi soon returns with a reply, that is filled with both angry and sad words, but mostly love and the asked for forgiveness, it is covered in tear drops. The letters continue between the Shibas'.

A couple more months pass, till eventually the time skip ends and canon starts up again with the fullbring arc, and the appearance of Ginjou. And then continue from there with Harry's addition.

Harry could actually possibly arrive in Japan near or slightly before the beginning of the series. Which allow for her to get to know the Kurosakis' as well as then getting to go along with the gang, which would allow her to see her siblings and explain to them the circumstances. She would also get to see Ukitake sooner. She could still move in next door to the clinic and sound a summer getting to know them.

I think canon starts during the spring term, since the soul society invasion arc takes pace over summer. Which means Harry would have to arrive the summer before, which would give her a year to 'make friends'. So she could join a dojo, like maybe one for kendo for armed combat and then maybe either karate, or aikido which is more likely for unarmed combat.

If Harry arrives as 17/18, then she would be in her last year of high school (senior high); and would make her at least 2 years older than the majority of the main cast (who are most likely at 15, in their last year of junior high). But with her being the Kurosaki's and niece/cousin, that explains that connection, but how she would know the rest of them I am unsure of.

She is a little too young to be a teacher, but maybe a teacher's assistant? She could also possibly run into Urahara and gain a job that way. But still her interactions with Ishida, Chad, and Orihime wouldn't really happen till they arrive at Kisuke's shop. Which could still work technically, because that's when they truly became friends and allies.

I can also imagine that when Harry/Kaien finds out that the visoreds still live, she might cry. Since I have the head canon of Kaien and Lisa being really close.

And if Harry does arrive sooner, she would probably debate on whether or not to confront Rukia. She would probably also secretly help out Ichigo teaching him tips and tricks to help him along. (When Ichigo trains with Urahara, Harry could also help train Ichigo by fighting him). And then when she arrives in Soul Society, she much like Yuroichi goes undetected. But before that she would probably hesitate on leaving her siblings so soon after reuniting with them. But they (at least Kukaku) would understand her need to protect her protégé. (Harry would be sure to tell/explain to Ichigo and her siblings that they are family, that Isshin stills lives, but in the human world. And that they have two more little cousins in the family. And to Ichigo exactly how they are related, but doesn't tell the reason as to why Isshin lives in the human world).

I still want to have the dream scene in the white world…. And the war referenced by Death could refer to the Aizen war.

I think Harry would first allow herself to be spotted by Shunsui Kyrōraku, when he finishes fighting Chad. Like he catches a glimpse of her as she leaves, for she knows Chad will be fine.

I think Harry would land with Yuroichi and pretty much remain with her for the most part, but would go off every now and then to gather intel and to check on the status of the group. But when Ichigo starts bankai training, so does Harry, but in a different part of the secret base.

Since Kaien's Bankai hasn't been revealed in canon, I can make up my own! It would still be water based, and the main weapon would still be a 'fancy' trident. I feel that not much would change about the trident, maybe it would turn from silver to black, and at the bottom of the middle spike would be the deathly hollow symbol, the tassel would remain blue.

Physically I think Harry's dress/clothing would change, like the invisibility cloak appears on her shoulders as a black silvery (with hints of blue) ragged shroud. There would be armor that would look like the samurai armor of old, though there would be no helmet or facemask; and would be mainly black with blue accents. Though traditionally the armor is heavy, to Harry it weighs nothing. (I can also picture this as the armor Nejibana wears, though without the shin guards or shoes, since she has a tail instead of legs).

When Harry releases her bankai the world is covered in water, creating a small pond or lake that Harry stands on the surface of. So her enemies are basically soaked in water when her bankai is first releases, which if they aren't quick enough will weigh them down, and try to drown them. But since most spiritually aware beings know some form of shunpo and can more or less walk on air the stronger the opponent the less likely they'll be soaked in reiatsu saturated water.

I can also see Nejibana having some magically influenced attacks, since I made it so that Nejibana was physically affected by the Hollows, why can't it have magic attacks?

And because it's sporting the hollows, it's even more deadly. Like I picture one of her attacks to be able to make 'shades' out of water that can distract and attack. But it would be one of Harry's least favorite attacks, since it basically summons up either those her opponent killed or couldn't save. So it would be a pretty psychological attack.
