Ichigo screamed in frustration as he sent all his paperwork scattering all over the floor and to add to his bad luck the door softly opened revealing the object of his thought,Uryuu looked at him pointedly and frowned.

Uryuu:What is it now Kurosaki?

Ichigo:I...just pick up my paperwork will ya?

Uryuu:You mean the same paperwork you purposefully threw around? I don't think so.

Ichigo: I've gone soft haven't I?

Uryuu: (begins with his paperwork) Hm?

Ichigo stared at the floor chuckling softly

Uryuu: Ok...you're creeping me out.

Ichigo sat at his desk and looked at Uryuu thoughtfully

Ichigo: Y'know,before Senna and all no one walked all over me like you said. Everyone respected and praised me. The ground was worshipped wherever I walked. But now everyone does as they please it seems. Talkin' to meh like that...I think it's time I remind everyone who calls the shots around here...fukutaicho.

Uryuu gulped,the way Ichigo said the last word sent unpleasant shivers through his spine. And that look... he had this crazed,clouded look as if he was going to eat him alive right there and now.

Uryuu: U-um...

Ichigo: (grins)Call up the remaining 8 seated officers we'll meet right outside the barracks

Uryuu: Y-yes sir!

With that Uryuu rushed out of the room leaving a smirking Ichigo.

Ichigo: Shit is about to go down...its been a long time...

Later outside the barracks the men stood


1st seat: Kurosaki Ichigo

2nd seat: Ishida Uryuu

3rd seat: Ayasegawa Yumichika

4th seat: Jaegarjaquez Grimmjaw

5th seat: Kujō Nozomi

6th seat: Nelliel Tu Oldelschwanck

7th seat: Tier Harribel

8th seat: Inoue Orihime

9th seat: Hozuki Yukio

10th seat: Asano Keigo


Ichigo looked at his men with a smile on his face

Ichigo: Now I know y'all wondering why I've brought ya here. It's been awhile.

Grimmjaw: Ya got that right!

Ichigo: (smirks)I heard about your little interest... congratulations.

He said passing a glance at Yukio and laughed when both men blushed brightly, he couldn't pass a moment to tease these two

Ichigo: I just wanted to let y'know that I'm back in the game and...we're goin' after Xcution.

Grimmjaw: (grins)Hell yeah,I've been waitin' for this!

Yumichika:(matching Grimmjaw's grin)Now that's more like it!

Keigo: NOOOOO!ICHIGO,YOU WANT ME TO DIE?!!!

Yukio: (smacks Keigo)About time.

Ichigo: Ya goin' to be alright? I mean...

Yukio: It's ok Ichigo, they're my past...you're my family now so don't worry about me betraying 'n' stuff.

Ichigo smiled softly encouraging Yukio's own smile.

Grimmjaw: Plus if ya dare try that shit I'll beat the shit outta ya myself and drag ya back home.

Yukio: Home? Your unusually cheesy lately Jaegarjaquez.

Keigo: (serious) He's right y'know?

Uryuu gasped at Keigo's mature side and Ichigo smirked.

Keigo: I wouldn't let you leave us like that after everything you and I have been through. I mean, it would kill me Yukio...(back to normal)PLUS I'LL KILL MYSELF IF YOU LEAVE ME!!!

Crying Keigo ran and hugged Yukio who smacked him hard

Keigo: OW!

Yukio: Idiot are you blackmailing me?!

Yumichika: Better not turn your back on us Yukio-honey...oh and that's a threat.

Yukio: No fair!

Everyone laughed.

Nelliel:So what brought this on?

Uryuu: Paperwork.

Orihime:Huh?

Ichigo: It doesn't matter what brought this on what matters right now is getting to the world of the living. Harribel?

Harribel: Ya got it.

Nozomi:(thoughtfully) We're really doing this huh?

Uryuu: So it seems.

Realising who it was that was speaking to her,the said girl blushed and slightly bowed then left

Uryuu: Mm? What was that about?


In the world of the living the garganta opened as the 10 officers step out.

Uryuu: (thinking) This is it...home.
