Chapter 5
 
Ichigo stood at the door his mouth opening and closing imitating an expression of a fish as he saw an all too familiar person he thought he'd never see in this world, or at least hoped to.
 
“Yo Ichigo.”
 
He finally snapped out of his trance and he wasn't very happy. “What the hell are you doing here?! And why the hell are you in my school and in my class?!”
 
Renji's eyebrow popped up. “Gee so much for a warm welcome.”
 
Rukia appeared behind Ichigo and saw the new guest. “Renji?”
 
He noticed her behind Ichigo and ran up to meet her. “Hey Rukia, long time no see.” He smiled.
 
Rukia returned his smile. “What are you doing here?”
 
He scratched the back of his head. “Well uh... You see...”
 
“And why the hell are you wearing that?” Ichigo asked, pointing at his outfit.
 
Renji glared at Ichigo. “What's wrong with me wearing this? I am a student after all. Or is it...” He smirked. “Could it be that you're jealous that it fits me better than it fits you?”
 
Ichigo's eye twitched. “What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm just disgusted that it's so tight on you making you look like some sort of homo.”
 
Renji's eye then twitched and suddenly his forehead was glued against Ichigo's. “Well I'm sorry for having a body hotter than yours.”
 
The orange haired boy scowled and pushed his head forward pushing Renji back. “Well I'm not the one with freaking weird eyebrows that make me look like some kind of freaking monster.”
 
Renji pushed back. “I dare you to repeat that again!”
 
Ichigo retaliated. “You heard me! Unless of course you're too deaf, or even too stupid to understand!”
“You've got a lot of guts brat. But you know that I can definitely kick your ass!”
 
“Let's settle this here once and for all and then we'll see whose more powerful!”
 
By now neither was moving as both sides were using the same force to push each other. Suddenly they were pushed apart and the new comer faced Ichigo.
 
“Oi if you're ready for a spar, then I'll be your opponent! It's been a while since I've stretched my muscles.”
 
Ichigo turned to the person and gaped.
 
Ikkaku spoke, “What the hell? Don't do that it makes you look like a shivering wimp.”
 
Ichigo glared at him. “What are you doing here?!”
 
Ikkaku glared back at him. “What? So I can't come here once in a while?”
 
“I'm also here too.” Yumichika stepped forward and combed his fingers through his hair. “And of course this ugly world has the blessing of being graced with my beauty once again.”
 
'Just not only baldy's here, so is the real homo' Ichigo sweat dropped. He found his air circulation being cut off by a pair of huge boobs on a certain someone's chest.
 
“Hullo Ichigo! Rukia!”
 
Rukia blinked. “Rangiku? You too?”
 
Rangiku nodded. By now, Ichigo's hands were flailing and his was trying to speak but his words were muffled.
 
Rukia sweat dropped. “Um Rangiku, I think Ichigo has a problem breathing.” She said pointing at the victim.
 
Rangiku blinked innocently. “Oh?” She let go of him. He took deep breaths trying to get some air into his lungs.
 
She smiled at him, “My bad.” and giggled.
 
“Your bad my ass!”
 
Someone cleared his throat to get attention and the whole group turned to see no other than the last but most important member. Ichigo smirked at him. “Well if it isn't little Toushirou.”
 
A vein appeared on his forehead. “It's Captain Hitsugaya to you simpleton.” but Ichigo just wove him off.
 
It was then that Orihime entered the class. Matsumoto ran to her and hugged her. “Orihime!”
 
Orihime hugged her back. “Rangiku! How are you?”
 
“I'm good how about you?”
 
“Just great... Oh and perfect timing Rangiku! You're gonna enjoy what I made for lunch!”
 
And the two were off in their own world. Keigo popped up between Ikkaku and Yumichika and put each arm over their shoulders. “Hey buddies! It's been a while!”
 
Yumichika pinched his hand an twisted it, making Keigo yelp in pain. “Get your filthy hands off of me disgusting creature, and I don't recall either of us being buddies.”
 
The boy was suddenly sulking in a corner crying his tears out. “Yeah? Well I'm not the one with the freaking feathers pointing out from my eyebrow making me look gay!”
 
Yumichika descended on him making him shrink back, killing intent in his eyes. “What was that? I dare you to repeat that again!”
 
“I'm sorry you're majesty! You're of course the most beautiful of all the creatures of this world, no one can surpass your magnificent grace!!!”
 
Yumichika flipped his hair with an arrogant expression. “Yes that is true.”
 
Ichigo sweat dropped. He could've sworn he saw stars surrounding Yumichika and a gloom cloud above Keigo. He sighed. 'Just great. Five minutes after meeting them this happens.' Ms. Ochi then walked in and the whole class settled down. 'I'm gonna have to ask them later why they're here.'

Jinta and Ururu stood outside the Urahara Shouten. Ururu swept the floor while Jinta did different stances pretending he was a baseball player.
 
“He brings up the bat, he shoots... And he scores!” He swung the broom round like he was hitting a ball.
 
Ururu turned to her companion. “Jinta we have to finish sweeping here and get the rest of our chores done.”
 
He glared at her. “I'm sorry what's that? I don't take orders from you!” He folded his arms behind his head. “And besides it's not like we actually get any customers.”
 
“But Tessai will be angry if we don't hurry. He said this builds character.”
 
Jinta pulled her cheeks. “Are you trying to say I don't have any character?” And he pulled them wider.
 
“That's enough both of you!” The two were pulled apart by a tall dark man wearing sunglasses. Glints appeared on his glasses when he turned to Jinta. “Do you have any complaints about my training?”
 
Jinta shrunk back and timidly replied, “No...”
 
The man pushed up his glasses. “Good.” He handed Jinta the broom. “Now get to work.”
 
Ururu froze. “Someone's here.”
 
Jinta and Tessai turned to Ururu and looked in the direction she was staring. Right in front of them, a figure walked towards the group. Tessai moved forward and asked, “Welcome to Urahara Shouten, how may I help you?”
 
The person stopped walking. “Where are Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihouin?”
 
The shack manager walked outside yawning loudly. “What's the ruckus?” He froze and looked at the stranger. A smile appeared on his face and he fanned himself. “Welcome to my shack! How may I help you?”
 
It was a while before the person spoke. “Are you Kisuke Urahara, former captain of the twelfth division?”
 
He stopped fanning himself and stared at the person, his eyes appearing under the shadow of his hat.
 
The person continued, “Where is Yoruichi Shihouin, former captain of the second division?”
 
He paused before he replied, “Sorry to disappoint you, but she's not here right now.”
 
There was silence before the other spoke, “I see.” Suddenly, a barrier surrounded the area. A sword was drawn and brought forward. “That just makes my job easier.”
 
Urahara did not move but Jinta and Ururu brought out their weapons. The person jumped forward and swung the sword down.
 
Outside the barrier, people walked by, not noticing the battle that waged on within it.

The final bell rang marking the end of the school for the day. The students dispersed for their homes saying goodbye to their friends. Ichigo sighed and walked towards Toushirou who was looking through the window.
 
“What is it now Kurosaki?” he asked knowing that the boy way behind him.
 
Ichigo glared at him. “Oi no need to get hostile. We're comrades.” He sighed. “Anyway, I need to ask you something.”
 
Toushirou turned to him. “What is it?”
 
Ichigo rubbed his head. “Well... Something strange has been going on here.”
 
“Like what?”
 
“There are these bugs... Well the look like hell butterflies but their appearance is different. Rukia told me they were heaven butterflies. I've met them twice and I know they're far from different from the hell butterflies. Their spiritual pressure is insanely high it's suffocating. I caught one of them but I was distracted, and it disappeared. Rukia also told me there's a story behind the hell butterfly and only the Soul Society knows about it, and if that's the case they'll also know something about the heaven butterfly.” He frowned. “Tell me... Has the Soul Society said anything about this? Is that why you are here? What exactly is going on?”
 
They both stared at each other for a moment. Toushirou sighed and looked forward. “Yes. The Soul Society is aware of the presence of the heaven butterfly-”
 
“Then why the hell haven't you guys done something about it?!”
 
“We were... side-tracked.” He looked at Ichigo. “I can't give you the details right now but something happened and now there's a whole mess.”
 
Ichigo blinked. “What happened?”
 
A vein popped. “Didn't you hear what I said? I can't tell you what happened!” He sighed. “Right now, we don't even know what's going on. But we'll have to wait and see where things lead us.”
 
“Isn't a possible connection with the heaven butterfly?”
 
“...Actually the incident and the butterfly are related but that'll be revealed later.” He turned to the window. “And the order was that nothing was to be revealed to you until decided.”
 
Ichigo sighed. “So I'm guessing that's all I'm gonna get from you.” It was then he noticed that he and the captain were alone in the class. Toushirou got up and walked towards the door, Ichigo following him. They got outside and saw the group waiting for them.
 
Rukia asked, “What took you so long?”
 
“We just had a chat. Oh by the way...” He looked at the shinigami. “Where are you guys gonna stay? And no Rangiku you're not staying with me even if you seduce me.” Rangiku pouted.
 
Toushirou spoke, “We already have a place to stay.”
 
“Really?”
 
“Yeah and it's so cool too! Why don't you guys come over some time?” Rangiku asked.
 
“That's a great idea!” Orihime replied.
 
Rangiku turned to Rukia. “How about you Rukia? Why don't you come stay with us?”
 
“Uh... No thanks, I'd rather stay with Ichigo instead.”
 
The lieutenant gave her a sly look. “Hm... Could it be because you want to stay with Ichigo? What exactly do you two do when you're alone huh?” She wiggled her eyebrows.
 
Ichigo blushed. “Cut it out Rangiku!”
 
Rukia blinked. “Actually I prefer to stay because he's my partner. The closer we are, the better. It's not like Ichigo can take care of things by himself.”
 
Rangiku gave her a knowing look. “Right...”
 
Orihime then spoke, “Well I guess I'll be going then. See ya guys later.” And she was gone.
 
Chad said, “I'm leaving too.”
 
Uryuu pushed up his glasses. “Well I guess I'll go as well.”
 
Ichigo and Rukia said bye to them and they were gone.
 
Ichigo spoke, “We'll be going too. Take care of yourselves and don't go do anything stupid.”
 
Toushirou rolled his eyes. “Don't tell me.” He pointed to the rest of the group. “Tell them.”
 
Rangiku gasped. “Captain! Do you think of me so lowly?”
 
He gave her a dull look. “You're one to talk. The day you actually show you're responsible is the day when pigs will fly.”
 
She sweat dropped. “Ouch...”
 
Rukia turned to Renji. “What about you Renji? Are you going to stay at Urahara's?”
 
He scratched the back of his hair. “Actually I'm staying with the group. It's way cooler than Urahara's place. Besides... I'm sick of being called a moocher.”
 
Toushirou turned to Ichigo. “We'll try to get in touch with you if anything happens.”
 
Ichigo nodded and walked forward with Rukia following him. Once the duo was gone, Rangiku had a worried expression on her face. “Captain, are you sure that we shouldn't have said anything?”
 
“They'll find out sooner or later. Right now we're following orders.” And the group was gone.

“So, what did Captain Hitsugaya say about the recent incidents?”
 
“He told me that they are aware of the heaven butterfly but something happened in the Soul Society. They were given orders not to reveal anything yet and I'll find out what's going on soon. Also, it seems that the attack was related to the heaven butterflies we've seen.”
 
“Hm I see. So we're just gonna have to wait then.”
 
“Yeah.” Ichigo thought of something. “Hey Rukia?”
 
Rukia glanced at him. “What is it?”
 
“Do you know anything about the origin of the hell butterfly?”
 
She stopped walking and Ichigo turned to look at her. “Actually, there's a story I was told when I was a child, it was about the hell butterfly. I don't really remember any of it right now, it's been a while since the last time I heard it. I'll tell you if I remember something.”
 
Ichigo nodded. He felt something hit his leg. He looked down and saw... fur?
 
“What the?”
 
Rukia walked to his side and looked at the 'fur'. The fur suddenly moved and a puppy popped up. Its body was covered with white fur and it had pointed ears. The tail was curled reaching its back and curious gold eyes stared at him.
 
“Aww it's a puppy.” Rukia crouched and held her hand out towards the animal. “Come here little fella. I'm not going to hurt you.”
 
It looked at Rukia's face and her hand and went to her cautiously. When it was close enough, Rukia put her hand on his head and scratched behind its ears. A low growl was heard and it rubbed its head on her hand. Rukia chuckled and picked it up.
 
Ichigo took a closer look at the new comer. “Wonder where it came from.” He looked round. “And who the owner is.” He reached out his hand and stroked the fur. “It's body is really soft.”
 
“Yeah and she's really cute.”
 
“She?”
 
Rukia gave him a dull look. “Yes a she. Do you want proof?” She brought the dog to Ichigo's face showing a certain part that proved it's a female.
 
Ichigo blushed and looked away. “Alright I get it.”
 
“Angel!”
 
They both looked up and saw a girl running towards them. The dog jumped from Rukia's arms and ran to the girl. Once she got to her, she was picked up and facing her. “Now Angel, what did I saw about disturbing other people? Can't you see they're on a date?”
 
'Date?!' Ichigo and Rukia blushed at the same time. Rukia spoke first, “No it's fine. My friend and I weren't on a date.”
 
The girl gave them a concerned look. “Are you sure? You two looked like you were enjoying yourselves.”
 
Rukia nodded. “It's fine... So her name's Angel? Is she your pet?”
 
“Uh-huh.”
 
“She's really cute.”
 
The girl smiled. “Thanks. I've got to go now. Say goodbye Angel.”
 
Angel barked and wagged her tail. Rukia laughed and rubbed her head. “Alright then by Angel.”
 
The girl took Angel and left and they watched her disappear.
 
“That was a cute dog.”
 
“I guess so.”
 
“But I like Chappy better.”
 
“I'm leaving you behind.”
 
“Hey wait!” And Rukia ran after Ichigo.

Toushirou stared at the stars in the sky lost in his own world. He was not able to sleep so he climbed to the roof and hoped star gazing would help him. Another figure approached him and sat down beside him gazing at the stars as well.
 
Without turning, Toushirou asked, “So how did it go?”
 
The person replied, “It's them alright.”
 
He turned to look at the person. “So when are you going to reveal yourself?”
 
Amber met teal. “Tomorrow.”

Ichigo and Rukia got into class wand were greeted by their friends especially the shinigami. He was informed by Toushirou that nothing unusual happened last night. Ichigo and the other students took their seats as the Ms. Ochi came in.
 
“Before we begin, I would like to introduce two new students. They just transferred here on a scholarship because they were unfortunately too smart to be in either elementary or middle school.”
 
The classmates sweat dropped. “Too smart to be in elementary or middle school?”
 
“Then they must be really smart.”
 
“Also, they happen to be really young so I want you all to treat them with respect and make them feel like they belong, just like how Hitsugaya was able to relate.” She turned to the door. “You two can come in now.”
 
They both walked in and stood in front of the class. While the rest of the students eyed them out of curiosity, five of them had shock on their faces as they stared at their new classmates.
 
One of them had orange hair with white streaks flowing down to her shoulders. Her amethyst eyes glanced round before she spoke, “My name is Rika Komamura.” She bowed. “It's a pleasure to meet you.”
 
The other had long white hair held in a low pony tail. Unlike her companion, she smiled to the class. “I'm Hikari Shigekuni.” She bowed. “Nice to meet you.”
 
Ichigo had only one thought in his mind. 'It's... her...'
 
And amber clashed with brown...
