Chapter 3
The warning bell rang for the last time. Within the last second, Ichigo entered his classroom out of breath, panting as though he was being chased by the most horrendous sight.
'Yes! I made it!'
Suddenly a very annoying yell of a certain someone caught his attention.
“ICHIGOOOOO!!!”
Unfortunately Keigo came at the wrong time as Ichigo planted his fist in his face. Slowly Keigo fell back unconscious. Mizuiru, who just walked past him, shook his head and turned towards Ichigo.
“Hey Ichigo, perfect timing.”
Ichigo scratched the back of his head. “Yeah huh. I would've made it earlier if someone had just warned me sooner.” His eyes glaring accusingly at Rukia who was reading a book, or pretending to. She took her eyes of the book and returned Ichigo's glare.
“You should know how to take care of yourself. You're a fifteen year old for Pete's sake, not some four year old.” She turned back to her book, but continued, “But it can't be helped as you're a big idiot that would run into danger the first minute. It's too bad that you're too demented for your own good.”
With each insult, a vein appeared on his face and there was a deeper scowl. Just as he was about to retort, someone called him. He turned round and saw Orihime and Tatsuki walking towards him.
“Good morning Ichigo.”
“Hey Ichigo.”
“Hey Orihime,Tatsuki.”
Orihime turned towards Rukia. “Good morning Rukia.”
Rukia at her for a second before putting up her innocent girl act. “Good morning Orihime. Feeling any better?”
“Yes. So much better that I'm up for a bean pasta with macaroni and cheese pie with chocolate frosting!” She dug out a slice from her bag and offered it to Rukia. “You should try it! It's really good, especially with ketchup.”
Rukia was trying so hard not to puke on the spot. “Er no thank you Orihime.”
Orihime turned towards Ichigo. “How about you Ichigo?”
“No thanks I'm full.” Ichigo hastily replied.
Orihime pouted. “Aw...” Her expression suddenly changed to cheery. “Oh well. More for me then. Hey Uryuu! Chad!”
Uryuu just sat down ignoring the call whereas Chad replied with a nod.
Ichigo glared at Uryuu's back. “Hey the least you can do is reply jackass.”
Uryuu pushed up his glasses. “Why should I say hi to the people I see every single day. It's just a waste of my time.”
“You stuck up son of a -”
“Alright kids settle down.” Ms. Ochi said as she walked into the class. Everyone settled down. She looked round the class.
“Ok then. I see everyone is present well except for our delinquents who for one thing I don't really care where they are so let's begin the class, shall we?
“What the? She doesn't even care?”
“They might be dead.”
“But they're pretty not in class at all.”
“I guess she's already used to them being absent.”
Ichigo sighed as he listened to the murmurs of the class and finally decided to shut them off looking outside the window.
'What the? Must've been my imagination.'
Outside the window, the heaven butterfly flew by.

Kon wondered around the house since everyone had gone out.
“Man it's so boring without Rukia here or even that idiot for that matter.” He sighed. “Oh well I'm in no mood for any adventures. So... snack time!”
He ran towards the fridge. Comparing his size to the electronic, it was a tower. He sweat dropped. With his determination unwavering, he pushed the door but it didn't budge. He got a fork and tried to wedge it open but it flew right out of his hands. He screamed out of frustration. Suddenly he felt a presence and froze.
'What the?! I can't move'
He felt the presence getting closer. A hell butterfly passed through the wall and landed on Kon. On reflex, the mod soul's true appearance, a green marble popped out of the doll's mouth. It rolled away and the now lifeless body fell down limply. The butterfly then got off from its head and flew up the stairs. It entered Ichigo's room as if searching for something. Having found what it was looking for, it landed on the bed and glowed. Black and crimson red spiritual energy surrounded it and black spiritual energy emerged from the bed. After that, it flew to the closet which the door was open by a crack. It then landed on the make shift bed and just like what happened previously, spiritual energy emerged from the bed except it was a mixture of white and silver. Once it was done with what business it had, it flew out of the closet and through the open window.
Not too far from the house/clinic, two bodies stood in the sky, both were adorned in cloaks. The hell butterfly flew towards them and landed on the finger which was held out. The figures suddenly disappeared but as they left, an eerie laugh filled the atmosphere which could send shivers up people's spines.

The captains of the Gotei 13 squads stood in their positions, with the exceptions of the captains of squads three, five and nine. The captain of the first squad and leader of the Gotei 13 stood tall and proud, an aura of royalty and majesty surrounding him. But if looked at closer, old man Yamamoto had an expression of a combination of worry and seriousness. His booming voice echoed through the closed space.
“Captains, it seems that the intruders are more bothersome than we thought. From what I've heard, all the headquarters have been destroyed, all of the shinigami have been eliminated and even our lieutenants have been brought down.”
Zaraki Kenpachi, captain of the eleventh division smirked. “Hm I was told that these intruders are brats. It's bad enough we have one as a captain.”
“Well it's bad enough we have a beast in our midst. Unlike some people, I think before I act. I'm not foolish or barbaric enough to swing my zanpaktou and assume killing people is fun.”
Kenpachi growled and brought out his zanpaktou from the sheath.
“What was that kid? I dare you to repeat that again!”
Toushirou kept looking at him casually as though he was not being threatened.
“We don't have time for your stupid dilly dallying. There's more important business to deal with. So please put back your sword right now. And your behavior right now proves my point.”
Ukitake sighed. “Toushirou.”
Kyoraku pulled down his hat. “He does have a point there.”
Zaraki turned towards the captain of the eight division. “You should keep your mouth shut. Or I'll slice you to pieces right here on the spot!”
“THAT'S ENOUGH KENPACHI!!!”
He froze.
Yamamoto continued. “This nonsense is not what we need right now. The Soul Society is in danger, we don't need any of this fuss. So stand down or I'll make you to with force.”
Zaraki scoffed but he obeyed him. There was silence for a minute before Ukitake spoke.
“Captain Yamamoto these children that are attacking us. Who are they? What are they? One of them, the spiritual pressure is so strong and strange. It has this aura mixed with the energy like it's pure and yet tainted. Then again, what is their true purpose?”
Kyoraku spoke, “Yeah and these two seem to be related to both you and Komamura. Why is that?”
Komamura replied, “It's a long story. One that cannot be told right now.”
Yamamoto spoke, “Komamura is right. It seems that the past has been brought back to the present.”
“Yes it seems that way doesn't it?”
All the occupants in the room froze and turned towards the closed doors. The doors slowly opened and right in front of it stood one of the intruders. A smile appeared on her face.
“Hey old man how are ya?”
Yamamoto glared at her. Ukitake stepped forward, his voice firm. “Who are you?”
She turned towards him. “My name is Hikari... Hikari Shigekuni.”
“Hikari!”
She turned back to Yamamoto.
“How dare you grace us with your presence in such a barbaric manner! You have no right to perform your brutal actions!”
Hikari looked pissed off. “Of course I have a right you old fart! After all.” She sneered. “Do you remember the promise I made fifty years ago?”
Toushirou whispered, “Fifty years ago?”
Hikari froze. 'That voice.' She slowly turned towards Toushirou. “Tou... Toushirou.”
They silently looked at each other. Kyoraku broke the silence. “I see you two have met each other before. Unless of course she magically knew your name Captain Hitsugaya.”
Hikari winced. 'That's right.' She smirked at Toushirou. “I was right after all. Told you you were gonna be a captain.”
“Hikari.”
She turned to Komamura.
“Where is Rika?”
“As you can see obviously she's not here.”
“WHERE IS SHE?!”
He stepped towards her, placing his hand on the hilt.
Yamamoto ordered, “Stand down Komamura.” And he did.
“That promise you made those years back... You actually kept it. So what do you intend to do now?”
“What do I intend to do about it? Why I'm about to fulfill the last part of the promise. Who wants to go first?”
Kenpachi laughed.
Hikari glared at him. “I see you found what I just said funny.”
“What can a little brat like you do about it? But since you defeated almost all the shinigami, I'll gladly go first.”
“Sure...”
She took a step forward and suddenly disappeared. Whereas some eyes widened, others stayed normal but shock was actually present in them. They watched as Kenpachi was being stabbed continuously by an invisible force. The moment ended and blood splashed everywhere and he fell unconscious. Hikari stood behind him with some of his blood on her. She smiled at the rest of them.
“So... who's next?”
They all drew their swords and charged towards her...
