"And that's what happened." Kislin said as he was reporting to Oromaus what happened. "I don't know why, but that girl was unaffected by the crystal. She still had all her soul reaper powers and completely shattered one in one powerful strike. I don't know who she it or where she came from, but she seems to know about us."

"Interesting..." Oromaus said as he thought this was rather important. "A soul reaper that's immune to our crystals? That is rather strange, but one soul reaper can't ruin our plans. Karakura Town isn't the only place we can place our crystals. Omada! Where are you?!"

"I am here." That was when an old man came in, but he was about nine feet tall with muscles.

"It is your turn to head down to the World of the Living." Omada said. "If this female soul reaper appears, treat her like any other enemy."

"I shall. No one will get in the way of our plans." Omada said as he was on his way.

"Oromaus, let me go back out there." Kislin said. "I underestimated her, but I'll be ready for her next time. I can imagine all the kinds of agony and torture with her."

"Easy, Kislin. You just might get your chance. Now go and place more of the crystals." Oromaus said. Kislin just did what he was told and left. Once Oromaus was alone, he activated a hidden projector and took a look at some images of Kalia from the other night. "This soul reaper... I don't know why, but I have a feeling she isn't a normal soul reaper. This could make things very interesting."

The Kurosakis

Kalia has got herself in a real mess now. She finds herself in an alternate world where she doesn't exist and her family is all different. On top of that, enemies she never thought she would see again are back. Until she can find a way to return to her own world, she's stuck. At least she found people that are willing to help her.

"Excuse me, Kalia." Orihime said as she tried to wake her up. Kalia opened her eyes and was met with her. "I made some breakfast. You must be hungry."

"Yeah... Thanks." Kalia said as she got herself up.

"I'm sorry that you had to sleep on the couch, but that is really the best we can do at the moment." Orihime said. "When Kazui was old enough for a bed, we turned his nursery into his bedroom."

"It's fine." Kalia said as she joined Orihime in the kitchen. "I really do appreciate you letting me stay here. No way I could stay with Urahara. It gets a little creepy around there. Are you sure you don't mind me sleeping here? I'm sure Uryu or Chad will let met stay with them."

"Nonsense. If you're really our dimensional daughter, you should stay with us." Orihime said. This whole situation was weird to Kalia. She's with people that look and act just like her parents, but she knows they technically aren't. She isn't sure what to think of any of this.

"You need to relax." She took a look and was met with a walking and talking stuffed lion. "Orihime and Ichigo are good people. You should be grateful these two are letting you stay here."

"And I thought staying at Kisuke's was weird." Kalia complained. "A toy is actually talking to me. It's Kon, right? I don't remember seeing you in my world."

"I can't believe it. Ichigo and the others seem to have forgotten me in your world, but there's a bright side to letting you stay here." Kon said as he had his eyes at a certain part of Kalia and Orihime. "Now I have both an old and young version of Orihime!" He cheered as he jumped right at them, but that was when Ichigo came in and stomped down on him.

"Kon... You're not trying anything with my wife, are you?" Ichigo said. "Remember our deal. I let you stay here and play with Kazui in exchange that you don't try anything with Orihime. Now that Kalia is here, it applies to her as well."

"Of course not. I wasn't going to do anything." Kon claimed.

"Kazui! Come down for breakfast!" Orihime called.

"Coming!" Kazui called as he hurried on down.

"Kalia, could you help me set the table?" Orihime asked.

"Uh... Sure..." Kalia said as she found this weird, but tried to make the most of her situation and helped out. Since they are allowing her to stay with them, she should at least help out. Once the table was set, the four of them had some breakfast together, but this was all rather awkward to Kalia.

"What's wrong? Not hungry?" Orihime asked.

"It's not that..." Kalia said. "This is just weird... Just yesterday I was having breakfast with my own family. Now I'm having it with my parents, but it's a different family."

"It's understandable." Ichigo said. "It is kind of weird. We have a daughter that came from another dimension? Still, you don't need to feel like a stranger around us. Kisuke is looking for a way to get you back to your dimension."

"In the meantime, you have us now." Kazui said. "Aunt Yuzu always wanted me to have a sibling, and now it looks like I got one. Wait until she hears about this."

"Uh... Kazui, I think we should keep Kalia our secret." Ichigo said. "How are we suppose to explain to people we have a fifteen daughter that came form another dimension? I don't even want to think what my old man would do."

"Kazui does have a point, Kalia. You have us for the time being." Orihime said.

"Yeah, so you have nothing to worry about. It's just like I said." Kon said as he stood near her. "And if you feel lonely or anything, you'll have me to keep me company." He claimed, but Kalia grabbed him by the neck and tried to strangle him as he brought him to her face.

"You come near me, especially when I'm sleeping, and I swear that I will tear your stuffing apart. Got it?!" Kalia threatened.

"Yeah... Got it..." Kon agreed with Kalia throwing him aside. "She's as pretty as Orihime, but she really is like Ichigo. Unfair and scary."

"Excuse me." Kalia said as she got up from the table and left the room. Kalia made her way up to a room and just stared out a window. It was so weird to her. Everything looks almost the same as it does back to her world, but she feels so out of place. As she brushed her fingers against her earring, she thought about her family and how she really misses them right now. All she knows is that the sooner she can get home, the better. She was disturbed out of her thoughts as she felt someone land on the bed she was sitting on and saw it was Kazui. "Do you need something?"

"This is my room." Kazui said as he pointed to the sign on the door that had his name on it.

"Sorry. I just need a private moment to think." Kalia said.

"It's okay. Do you miss home?" Kazui asked with Kalia not sure how to really answer it. "It's okay that you do. I don't quite understand everything, but I do understand you're not from here. That must mean that you miss home."

"Well... It is a strange situation." Kalia said. "I do miss home, but it sounds like...your parents and their friends are in need of help."

"Does that mean you're going to be around for a while and do what you can to help?" Kazui asked.

"At least until we figure out a way to restore everyone's powers and I can go home." Kalia said.

"Well, I hope it will take a while. I already like having you around. My Aunt Yuzu would love it if I have a sibling, and now it looks like I got one!" Kazui said.

"Take it easy, kid. We don't even know each other. Don't go thinking I'm your sister or something." Kalia said as she felt Kazui is getting ahead of himself.

"Why not? We have the same parents." Kazui said for it seems like he's got the same fun and lively personality Orihime has. Then, right when he smiled, Kalia felt like she was looking at her own little brother for a moment. Meanwhile, Orihime and Ichigo were trying to figure out what to do to make Kalia feel more comfortable.

"I'm worried about Kalia. I can't imagine what she's going through." Orihime said as she did the dishes.

"I get it, but the best we can do is try to make her feel welcome." Ichigo said while he watched television. Just then, his phone was going off as he was getting a call and saw it was from Uryu. "Hey, Uryu. What's up?" Ichigo asked, but what Uryu said surprised him. "Hang on a second." Ichigo flipped through the channels to try and find what Uryu was talking about. When he saw it, he almost couldn't believe it. "Kalia! Come down here! You might want to see this!" Kalia hurried down like Ichigo wanted for this was important.

"What's going on?" Kalia questioned.

"Look." Ichigo said as he pointed to the news.

"The strange rocks have just appeared around the country." A newsman said as he was reporting on a strange event. He was actually showing images of the Jigoku's crystals. "No one is sure what these crystals are or where they came from, but there have been many failed attempts to get near these structures."

"Those are the same crystals that the Jigoku are using!" Ichigo said. "It's not just Karakura Town. It looks like they're spreading to around the whole country." This appears to be worse than they thought. The Jigoku isn't just targeting Karakura Town, but it looks like they're targeting the entire country.

"Oromaus..." Kalia said as she couldn't stand him. "Those failed attempts to get near the crystals have to be the Jigoku preventing anyone from interfering. While the Jigoku are dangerous, they look like normal humans. The police or whoever have no idea what they're really up against."

"Isn't that because they can't see the Jigoku being spiritual beings?" Orihime questioned.

"No. They can be seen by regular people as well. At least that's how it was when I fought them back home." Kalia claimed. "We've got to do something."

"Uryu said that things started Shinagawa." Ichigo said. "I say we get dressed and head there. Many soul reapers already lost their powers and abilities to those crystals, so any soul reapers that could be out there might have already suffered the same fate. Kalia, you're the only one that is immune to the crystals. We've got to try and do something, even if it means we've got to shatter those crystals one at a time."

"I want to help, but Shinagawa is over an hour away outside of Karakura. How are we even going to get there?" Kalia questioned.

"That part is easy." Orihime claimed.

...

The Road

Getting there was the easy part. They were just driving up there like it was a normal road trip. That was less than spectacular as Kalia didn't really look that enthusiastic about it.

"This is ridiculous. We're suppose to be saving lives and yet we're taking a casual drive to where we need to go." Kalia said.

"We don't have much of a choice. It's too far for you to go on foot, even if you were to use Flash Step." Ichigo said as he drove through the road.

"It's okay, Kalia. We'll still make it in time for you to stop the bad guys." Kazui said.

"Was it really necessary to bring the kid?" Kalia questioned.

"No. I told you, Orihime, that we should have just left Kazui back home. Neither of us have our powers to make sure he's safe." Ichigo said. "We could have left him with my sisters, or we could have called Uryu and Chad to keep an eye on him."

"There was no time to explain things to your sisters, Ichigo. Plus, Uryu and Chad said they're going to meet us there." Orihime said. "Kazui, make sure you stay near me or your father at all times. You keep away from the fights and just let Kalia do what she needs to do."

"Okay, Mom." Kazui said.

"This is going to be weird an excruciating, isn't it?" Kalia complained. Either way, she has to do something about the crystal. If it means she has to get to places like this, well it's just the best that she can do. At least she isn't going in alone.

"Punch buggy!" Kazui called and actually hit Kalia in the arm as per a game.

"Ow! How does a little guy like you hit so hard?" Kalia questioned. This is going to be one heck of an adventure.
