Ok, so a lot of you have been asking about Orihime and Tatsuki, as well as Rukia, so let me tell you all the facts. As of now, only the three listed in the character tags are a certainty. However, when I originally planned this story out, I made allowances for an absolutely massive harem, but restrained myself, as it would have detracted from the story in my opinion.
This is Bleach after all, not High School DxD.
That being said, I have kept every single option I ever considered, available, of which; Orihime, Tatsuki and Rukia, are a part of. Even in this chapter, you will see another person I thought of at one point and a few chapters down the track, you will see another and after that, two more (although one you will definitely have to squint at to pick up). What this means, is outside of the main three, no one is assured… but I've ruled no one out.
My intentions from this point on, are to write the story organically, cliché as it sounds, see how all of you respond to each character and judge for myself if I feel someone else should be added. I say this because there were 20 candidates all rolling around in my mind at one point. However, 20 girls in a single story is overkill, especially for Bleach, I could maybe pull it off in High School DxD, but I don't think it would work well for Bleach. In fact, any story with a harem in double digits makes me very hesitant, both to read and to write, because I don't feel enough development can occur naturally, without forcing separate chapters with each girl, which just doesn't seem realistic, especially since all my stories are mainly combat oriented. I mean, it isn't like Naruto could just pause the Ninja War to get to know some people.
In any case, that is the situation as of now. Also, this will be the last update for at least a week now, since my first exam is in three days. I may update something early next week, but if not, I'll be back to updating mid-late November, as my last exam is on the 17th.
Final thing to say is check out my . If I get one patron this month, I'll make sure to update at least once, maybe twice, between now and the 17th.
Enjoy the chapter.

Flashback
Chapter 8 – Invasion
'You suck at dimensional travel, you know?' Said Zangetsu.
Ichigo groaned aloud in annoyance. Upon entering the tear in dimensions, Ichigo had fallen very deep between the fabrics of worlds. He had eventually managed to make a walkway using his Reishi, but he had fallen far off track of his original destination… and that was about twelve days ago.
"Shut up, you're the one who didn't tell me what to do quick enough, you're the Hollow, remember?" Retorted Ichigo in annoyance.
'He has a point you know. It is bad enough you're trying to corrupt my sweet little boy, but now you aren't even teaching him properly. What kind of Zanpakutou are you?' Chided Masaki.
'Quiet woman! This stuff is instinctual, he should have known without any teaching. Do you teach a baby how to poop too?' Snapped Zangetsu in annoyance.
'It is worth pointing out, that he is in fact human. Hollow powers or not, this would not be something instinctual to him.' Added Y.
'Bah, he used my energy attack instinctually!' Refuted Zangetsu airily.
"While we are talking about it, what was that anyway?" Asked Ichigo curiously.
'Nope, if you want the name, you have to earn it. Using it without its name causes it to be only half as strong as it would be otherwise. If you want to be stronger you need to force me to tell you it.' Denied Zangetsu.
"That was only half? It nearly destroyed a Menos Grande in one hit!" Thought Ichigo in shock.
'Well, you are a mongrel after all, lots of power in here, plus I helped.' Said Zangetsu happily.
'Stop calling my little boy a mongrel!' Shouted Masaki, with a scowl.
'Whatever Quincy, you're the one who did the nasty with a Shinigami.' Countered Zangetsu, which caused Ichigo to block them out, lest he be scared for life.
After travelling for another twelve days, Ichigo finally reached the end of the Garganta. Looking out, he could see Karakura town. Stepping through the gaping hole in the fabric of the living world, Ichigo was quickly blindsided by an explosion.
'What the hell was that?' Shouted Ichigo in annoyance.
'Hmm, so it was Ichigo.' Said a jovial voice.
'I told you Kisuke, there was no reason to have the kid blast him.' Drawled a familiar voice.
'I'll deal with you guys later.' Growled Ichigo at Shinji, along with Kisuke and his group, before vanishing in a buzz of static.
'Oh dear, just when I was about to tell him something important.' Lamented Kisuke, with a smile, as he raised his fan over his face.
'You know, when you tell him, he might just blow your store up. Did you get a look at him? That was some serious Hollow power, way more than any of us have.' Said Shinji, recalling Ichigo's horned visage.
'I wonder if he consumed Hollows while in Hueco Mundo.' Said Kisuke curiously.
'From what I felt, I'll bet he ate hundreds if not thousands.' Commented Shinji.
'Well, in any case, Tessai, Ururu, Jinta, let's go and prepare.' Said Kisuke, to his team, before they all left Shinji and headed back to the Urahara Shop.
'Ah, at this rate, he might not even need our help anymore.' Muttered Shinji, before heading off as well.
-line break-
Ichigo appeared outside his window and looked in, seeing his body on the bed, he knocked on the window. Kon turned his head, hearing a knock on his window and nearly wet his pants at the terrifying horned figure he saw.
'Come on Kon, let me in.' Said the demon, his voice muffled somewhat, talking through a closed window.
'I-I-Ichigo?' Strutted Kon in shock.
'Yeah, who else?' Asked Ichigo.
Kon got over his shock, quickly opened the window and let Ichigo enter his room.
'Why do you look like that?' Asked Kon nervously.
'Look like what?' Questioned Ichigo in confusion.
'Idiot! You're still in your Hollow form!' Shouted Zangetsu in annoyance.
'Oh, sorry Kon.' Said Ichigo, as he grasped the mask on his face, just as someone opened his door.
Ichigo froze, hand held on his mask, as his father entered the room and closed the door behind him.
'So, Kisuke was right, you did manage to get back on your own.' Said Isshin seriously.
'Oh look at Isshin, he looks like he hasn't aged a day… hmm, I suppose that makes sense though.' Said Masaki thoughtfully.
'Uh, hey dad.' Said Ichigo lamely.
'I have a feeling that a lot happened to you in Hueco Mundo… especially since you're in this form… but you should go see Kisuke quickly, something important has come up.' Said Isshin sternly.
Ichigo paused for a moment, before continuing his previous action and tore his mask off, causing the rest of his Hollow features to crumble, leaving him clad in black robes once again.
'Ok. Although, just tell me this: who are you, really?' Asked Ichigo.
Isshin gave a sigh before speaking.
'My name is Isshin Shiba, husband to Masaki Kurosaki, father of Ichigo Kurosaki, a Shinigami.' Said Isshin tiredly.
'Husband to Masaki Kurosaki, a Quincy.' Amended Ichigo, getting Isshin's eyes to widen, before Ichigo turned to the window again.
'When I come back, I want to hear the real story of how you met mum as well.' Said Ichigo, as he climbed on his bed and turned to face his father.
'Oh… one last thing… I promise not to blame myself for mum's death anymore, since I finally dealt with Grand Fisher and now she's with me forever.' Said Ichigo, tapping his head with his index finger, before jumping out the window.
As Isshin looked out the window his son had just left from, he couldn't help but smile.
"That's my boy." Thought Isshin approvingly.
-line break-
Kisuke waited outside his store patiently. He knew Isshin would send Ichigo here as soon as possible, how could he not? As the head of orange entered his vision, he prepared himself. It seemed he was giving bad news to everyone these days.
'Urahara what's going on?' Asked Ichigo curiously.
'Ah, that is a story, please come with me and I'll tell you the situation.' Said Kisuke jovially.
Ichigo quirked an eyebrow, but nonetheless, followed the eccentric shop keeper into his store and then, soon after, down a ladder that leader to a massive training ground. While internally gobsmacked, he noticed that Kisuke had turned to face him, with an uncharacteristically serious expression.
'In the time that you've been gone, Rukia Kuchiki has been arrested for staying in the living world too long… and for being under suspicion of giving her powers to a human.' Said Kisuke slowly.
Ichigo looked at Kisuke in surprise, but noticed that he was about to continue speaking.
'I sent your friends, Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue, as well as the Quincy, Uryuu Ishida, who insisted to help, in order to "expunge his debt to Kurosaki", along with one of my most trusted friends Yoruichi Shihouin, to rescue Rukia, who, if I'm right, has been slated for execution any day now.' Finished Kisuke.
Ichigo blinked at this, before snarling.
'Why do you think she will be executed?' Growled Ichigo.
'Perhaps I shouldn't have worded it like that…' Said Kisuke thoughtfully, getting Ichigo's frown to lessen slightly.
'Rukia will definitely be executed if someone does not save her, because the people who captured her said so.' Said Kisuke darkly.
Ichigo clenched his fist in anger, turning his knuckles white.
'Send me to where Rukia is… now, please.' Said Ichigo quietly, trembling as he tried to hold his anger at bay.
'I thought you'd say as much, so I've prepared a passageway for you, however, I don't want you going alone, therefore, someone will be coming with you.' Said Kisuke.
Ichigo turned, when he heard footsteps to his left and saw a strangely dressed woman. She was wearing what appeared to be a school uniform, which was vastly different to the ones worn by students in Karakura High School. She also wore red oval glasses and had long black hair, along with turquoise eyes.
'So you're the one Shinji was interested in.' She stated flatly.
'Who are you?' Asked Ichigo, with a frown.
'Lisa Yadoumaru, former Lieutenant of the Eighth Division.' Said Lisa.
'She will be your guide, but she won't engage anyone and will remain hidden, right?' Said Kisuke, turning to Lisa for confirmation.
'Right.' The former Lieutenant nodded.
'Fine, can we go now then?' Asked Ichigo tensely.
'Very well, Tessai!' Called the shopkeeper.
The large, muscular man, appeared next to Kisuke quickly and both of them stood at opposite sides of a large square structure.
'Once you go in, you will only have four minutes to get there, before the door closes and you are trapped in the Dangai forever.' Said Urahara ominously.
'Please, I ripped through dimensions to get back from the world of the Hollows, if it closes, I'll just do it again.' Said Ichigo nonchalantly.
The three gathered looked at Ichigo in surprise at this.
'Really, Hueco Mundo? That is something… how do you do it?' Asked Urahara curiously.
'This isn't the time! I'll show you when I get everyone back, okay?' Said Ichigo irritably.
'Before we go, I need to see it… can you show me your mask?' Requested Lisa.
Ichigo grunted in annoyance, before whipping out his sword and impaling himself in the heart, under Zangetsu's instruction, shocking those around him. After a moment, his form glowed in energy before he was revealed, demonic mask and Hollow hole in full view.
'Happy now?' Growled Ichigo, before tearing his mask off and reverting back to his Shinigami form.
Lisa looked at him with widened eyes.
'T-that is way beyond what any of us have!' Shouted Lisa in shock.
'Us?' Asked Ichigo in confusion.
Lisa quickly summoned her mask, which possessed a cross-shaped opening.
'How did you get so much power from subjugating your Hollow?' Asked Lisa curiously.
'Subjugate? He is roaming free in my mind, along with two other spirits in my mind. I didn't subjugate him at all.' Said Ichigo, with a raised eyebrow.
'Alright then, let's get going already!' Snapped Lisa suddenly, surprising Ichigo.
'On it.' Said Kisuke cheerfully, before he and Tessai started to power the square structure, slamming their hands into the ground near it.
'Why did you suddenly decide to get going?' Asked Ichigo curiously, as a small glowing light started to appear in the square structure.
'We've been trying to get control over our Hollows for over one hundred years now, yet you've already surpassed us all, immensely. After this is over, you are coming to help us. Originally, we were going to help you, which is why Shinji approached you, to help you gain control… but now, it is clear that we aren't the ones who know what to do. For my help, please help us.' Said Lisa quickly.
'Is there some reason why you guys want to gain control?' Asked Ichigo interestedly.
'…I'll tell you the story after this is all over… but yes, there is a reason, a good one.' Said Lisa, with a small frown.
'Fine with me.' Said Ichigo, before he waited for Kisuke to give them the signal to enter.
'Go now!' Shouted Kisuke.
The two infiltrators charged through the portal, which quickly closed behind them.
'I imagine you must be surprised.' Said Kisuke, seemingly talking to himself.
'Hmph, understatement of the century.' Said Isshin Kurosaki, as he flash stepped towards Kisuke.
'That form though, brings back memories, doesn't it?' Asked Kisuke.
'Yeah… he took down Grand Fisher, you know?' Informed Isshin.
'Interesting, as a Shinigami?' Asked Kisuke curiously.
'He said Masaki was with him.' Said Isshin, tapping the side of his head as he did so.
'A Hollow then.' Said Kisuke seriously.
'Yeah, but from the way he said it, I think the circumstances are different than when a Hollow normally consumes a soul.' Said Isshin.
'That kid of yours sure is interesting.' Said Kisuke, with a smirk.
'Of course, his old man and mom weren't exactly normal to begin with!' Boasted Isshin.
'Although… if he knows his heritage and word gets out…' Said Kisuke, trailing off at the end.
'I know.' Said Isshin, with a grim look.
-line break-
'You need to move fast, I doubt Urahara told you, since you just returned to Karakura today, but Rukia Kuchiki will be executed tomorrow.' Said Lisa, as the two arrived just outside the Seireitei.
'Of course he didn't.' Snapped Ichigo in annoyance.
'Well, in any case, you need to move quickly. Anyone to be executed would be taken to Soukyoku Hill. That is in the centre of the Seireitei and you really can't miss it.' Said Lisa calmly.
'I'm guessing that hill in the distance is Soukyoku Hill then?' Said Ichigo, pointing at a hill he could barely make out in the distance.
'That's right. How you do this, I have no idea and I did say I wouldn't get involved… but I can give you some tips.' Said Lisa.
Ichigo merely grunted in acknowledgement.
'Since people have already infiltrated, security will be high. The main focuses of security would be the centre of the Seireitei, which is where Central Forty Six has their headquarters located, as well as Soukyoku Hill. Patrols would also be focused around the gates. What this means, is that once you get past the patrols, if you can do so discretely, you will be virtually unhindered, almost all the way into the Seireitei, in theory at least.' Explained Lisa.
'Got it, anything else?' Asked Ichigo respectfully.
'If you can, stick to the west. It would be harder to move around discretely, since the Second Division is located there, but most of the combat oriented divisions, such as the Eleventh Division, are located in the East. If you want to avoid a fight; that would be your best bet.' Added Lisa.
'Alright… thanks for that.' Said Ichigo, with a nod, before setting off.
-line break-
Ichigo looked at the imposing stone walls in front of him. He had quickly deduced the gates themselves were too secure, but the walls weren't. Studying the walls for a minute, Ichigo noticed that they were absorbing the energy around them and using it to repel everything, which made Ichigo realise, that breaking through them, would attract too much attention.
"Damn it! Any ideas guys?" Asked Ichigo.
'I, in fact do. Climb to the top of the wall, I can allow you to get through the barrier.' Said Y.
"Seriously? Let's do it then!" Thought Ichigo in excitement.
Ichigo swiftly appeared at the top of the wall and took a quick look over it. Luckily, there was in fact no one around the immediate area.
"Alright, I'm ready Y." Thought Ichigo.
'Simply place your left hand on the barrier, I will tear a small hole in it for you to get through. However, it will only last for a moment, so move quickly.' Warned Y.
"Got it." Said Ichigo, before doing as the spirit had told him.
After a moment, Ichigo felt a rush of energy enter him.
'Go now!' Shouted Y, to which Ichigo quickly complied.
Upon entering, Ichigo quickly slunk into the shadows and set off. Not even a minute later, a group of four Shinigami had arrived at the site Ichigo had entered at, but none of them noticed anything, nor could they sense Ichigo, who was long gone.
-line break-
Ichigo quickly ran through the Seireitei, avoiding everyone as best he could, stopping when he saw anyone and moving silently when no one was around. He was now at least a quarter of the way towards Soukyoku Hill, but patrols had started to increase, forcing Ichigo to stop and plan out his next move.
"This is ridiculous, there's about four people passing by this point every fifteen seconds! How many Shinigami are there in this place?" Thought Ichigo in exasperation.
'Did you ever think about a distraction?' Asked Zangetsu.
"Like what exactly?" Asked Ichigo.
'Blow something up!' Suggested Zangetsu.
"Ok, anyone else?" Asked Ichigo, ignoring the indignant protests from his Zanpakutou.
'Although it may sound unorthodox, perhaps you should reveal yourself, it will attract attention and possibly shift some of the patrols, giving you a safe route to take.' Supplied Y helpfully.
"Hmm, alright, I'll give it a try." Thought Ichigo, despite Zangetsu's grumblings that he didn't listen to him from the start.
Using Sonido, Ichigo quickly emerged in the centre of a wide open courtyard, startling the Shinigami around him.
'Who are you?' Asked one of the Shinigami.
'Ichigo Kurosaki.' Said Ichigo, before swiping his sword down and unleashing a wave of energy at one of the walls around the courtyard, demolishing it.
'Attack!' Shouted another Shinigami, as the six gathered Shinigami charged Ichigo.
Trying to be as flashy and noisy as possible, Ichigo launched wave after wave of energy at the Shinigami, making sure to aim just in front of them, to blow them back and knock them out, without causing serious damage. When the dust cleared, the courtyard was completely torn asunder, with deep gouges through the ground and knocked out Shinigami around him.
'Sorry about that.' Muttered Ichigo, before turning to leave, only to quickly Sonido out of the way, as a wave of ice was launched at him.
'You will be soon, Ryoka.' Said a white haired boy, with a similarly coloured haori. He was rather short, with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair.
'So… I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and say that since you are wearing white over the normal black Shinigami garb… you must be someone important, right?' Asked Ichigo carefully.
'You would be correct in that assumption. I am Toushirou Hitsugaya, Captain of the Tenth Division.' Said Toushirou coldly.
'I see… I would say you're pretty young… but with the way things work for souls, I think you're actually older than me, even if you don't look it.' Said Ichigo, with a wry grin.
Toushirou gave Ichigo a frosty glare.
'Hey, no need to get offended, if anything, it is a compliment that someone as young… looking as you could become a captain.' Said Ichigo, with an amused grin.
'Did you simply come here to play games? You attacked my division members and now you joke with me.' Questioned Toushirou.
'Well actually…' Said Ichigo, before stopping, as a girl with brown eyes, hair held in a bun and a strange armband, stepped in between them.
'Momo, what are you doing here? It is dangerous, can't you see there is a Ryoka right there?' Shouted Toushirou in worry, quickly glancing over to Ichigo, before looking back to his childhood friend.
'I will get justice for Captain Aizen's murder.' Said Momo shakily.
'Momo, what are you talking about, this person only just arrived recently?' Said Toushirou in confusion, which turned to shock when Momo levelled her blade at him.
'Captain Aizen told me all about the plot to destroy Soul Society, about Rukia Kuchiki's execution and about how you were the one behind it all… but, he also said he was going to confront you and get you to change your ways… although he feared you would kill him.' Said Momo, with tears in her eyes.
'That's really… what Aizen wrote… in the letter?' Gasped Toushirou in shock.
'He said, that if he should die, he wanted me to inherit his will and slay you… that was his last request, not as a captain, but as a man, pleading for my help.' Continued Momo unsteadily.
Momo suddenly gave a pained cry and lashed out at the young captain, who quickly leapt back to avoid the attack, floating in mid-air.
'Stop Hinamori! Don't be stupid! Do you really think that Aizen would ask something of that from you? The Aizen I know wouldn't blindly walk into a battle he didn't think he could win! Nor is he a weakling who would tell his subordinate to take care of his problem for him!' Pleaded Hitsugaya, trying to make his friend see reason.
'But that's what it said in the letter! That was definitely Captain Aizen's writing! I don't want to believe it either… but that is what he wrote! I have to do this for him… I have to…' Cried Momo in pain, as she charged at her friend and tried to slice him horizontally, but the captain was too fast for her and merely leapt back again.
The young captain stared at this childhood friend, tears leaking from her eyes, a pained grimace on her face.
'I… I don't know what to do anymore…' Whimpered Momo, before suddenly going stiff and starting to fall, only to be caught before she could plummet to the ground.
'Look, I don't know what is going on here, but it is clear this girl is a friend of yours and is not quite all there right now.' Said a frowning Ichigo, who had appeared behind Momo in a buzz and knocked her out, with a hit to the head, using the pommel of his sword.
Toushirou tensed, gripping his blade so hard his knuckles went white, wholly uneasy with the idea of his friend in the arms of an intruder.
'Here.' Said Ichigo, as he gently tossed Momo over to the captain, only a few metres away from him, who quickly sheathed his blade and caught his friend.
As Toushirou quickly looked Hinamori over for injuries, he noticed that she was unharmed.
'Why are you here Ryoka? If you were trying to invade the Seireitei, you could have easily used Momo as a hostage, she is a Lieutenant after all.' Questioned Toushirou suspiciously.
'Look, I didn't come here for some evil reason or something, I just came her to save a friend, that's all. I don't know who this Aizen guy is, or what this letter is, I only got here a few hours ago.' Confessed Ichigo tiredly.
'And you didn't think a hostage would help with that?' Questioned Hitsugaya suspiciously.
'I have morals, I mean, look at your men down there. I didn't hit any of them directly, I only attacked the ground in front of them to knock them out.' Said Ichigo, with a hint of exasperation in his tone.
Ichigo quickly spun around and blocked a sword strike aimed at his back, before leaping back and reassessing his situation.
'Those things are huge!' Shouted Zangetsu in shock.
The person who had just attacked Ichigo, was a woman with long and wavy blond hair, blue eyes, full lips, and a beauty mark located under the right side of her mouth. However, the thing that had attracted Zangetsu's attention, was the fact that she had very large breasts and her robes were loose, allowing even more of her ample cleavage to show.
'Captain are you okay?' Questioned the woman worriedly.
'I'm fine Matsumoto… we were just having a chat.' Said Toushirou sternly.
Ichigo meanwhile was trying to ignoring a particularly… mentally scarring conversation, between Zangetsu and his mother.
'Ichigo, don't look, it will corrupt your mind!' Shouted Masaki.
'Yeah, don't look, go touch them!' Shouted Zangetsu, with a smirk.
'No! The last breasts Ichigo got to touch were mine and he isn't touching anyone else's until I say so!' Refused Masaki.
'Woman, stop making him even more sexually awkward! He has enough problems as is! Don't add mummy issues to the list!' Retorted Zangetsu.
Ichigo couldn't help but wince, as his mother and sword spirit started ranting at each other, which was picked up upon by Toushirou.
'Something wrong Ryoka?' Questioned Toushirou suspiciously.
'Well… not exactly wrong… but she's giving me a headache.' Said Ichigo, pointing at the voluptuous woman.
'That's just rude.' Said Rangiku affronted.
'Quiet Matsumoto, you give me a headache every day.' Grunted Toushirou.
'Really? You have the spirit of you mother and Zanpakutou complain about if her breasts are an appropriate size or not as well?' Asked Ichigo, with another wince.
'…no.' Said Hitsugaya flatly.
'There is nothing wrong with my breasts!' Shouted Rangiku.
'Tell that to my mum.' Muttered Ichigo.
'Who are you Ryoka?' Asked Toushirou curiously.
'Just the son of a Shinigami.' Said Ichigo, choosing not to mention his Hollow or Quincy powers.
'If you are the son of a Shinigami, then why are you attacking us?' Asked Toushirou carefully.
'Well, I'm not really one of you guys, I'm from the human world and like I said before, I'm just here to save Rukia and my friends.' Said Ichigo.
'I see… and you claim that you are the son of a Shinigami and that your powers came from him, not Rukia, who is currently accused of giving a human Shinigami powers?' Questioned Toushirou suspiciously.
'Yep, that's the truth.' Said Ichigo calmly.
'I don't suppose you would tell me the name of your father, who is supposedly a Shinigami then, would you?' Probed Toushirou.
'If you want me to just come out and say it I will, no need to beat around the bush.' Scoffed Ichigo.
'Fine then, tell me.' Ordered Toushirou.
'Isshin Kurosaki… or, as I've learned recently, you might have known him as Isshin Shiba.' Said Ichigo, getting looks of recognition and surprise from the two conscious Shinigami across from him.
'Captain Shiba?' Gasped Rangiku in surprise.
'Goat chin was a captain… huh…' Commented Ichigo, with a raised eyebrow.
Ichigo then quickly shot his head to the left, feeling a towering pillar of Reiatsu nearing him.
'Shit, I'm not sticking around for that.' Muttered Ichigo, before preparing to dash away.
'Although, Zangetsu wants to know, if you've got that with you, why haven't you grown yet?' Asked Ichigo, as he pointed at Rangiku's chest, before disappearing in a buzz of static.
'I'm not a child!' Shouted Toushirou angrily, while Rangiku merely giggled at the face of her annoyed captain.
After a deep breath, the captain sighed and glanced at the girl in his arms.
'Come on Rangiku, let's get Momo back… there is something strange going on here.' Said Toushirou.
His lieutenant nodded, before the two disappeared in a Shunpo.
