Yo everybody. Sorry for the delay but I had been rewriting this chapter a couple times. I couldn't get it the way I wanted and I'm still not a hundred percent satisfied with it. So I may rewrite it at a later date.

grumpywinter: Thanks. First off, Sakura and Hawk, like the rest of the vizards, haven't aged much. Their appearance has changed a bit, but they still look about 15. And you'll see in the next chapter, they are going undercover at the high school, they'll be under aliases. While they wear masks and shinobi-like attire when they're watching Ichigo fight hollows. And it will start a few days after the incident with Chad and that bird, but before Kon shows up. (Mainly cause I want to have some fun with him and the two vizards.) And Sasuke will join Renji and Byukuya when they retrieve Rukia. Oh, and Sasuke and the rest of Team 7 have only just over a hundred years of experience.

Princess-Lalaith: Well first off, the Vizards in general, don't (at least in my story) keep in touch much with non-Vizards unless they happen to be in the area. And they travel a lot, so non-Vizards would have a difficult time contacting them. Plus they don't get along with Ryuken that much, so he wouldn't have told them of his father's death. Finally, I didn't want there to be any possibility of Ichigo recognizing them before they reveal their true identities during the beginning of the Arrancar Arc. As pairings...I'm still not sure if I should do them. But sorry Princess-Lalaith and fans of that pairing. It's unlikely that there will be a Ichigo/Rukia pairing. I'm not fan of it (I don't hate, but I don't like it either) and it's easily the most common pairing in Bleach. And I'm trying to avoid as many of the overly common things in Bleach and Naruto and Naruto/Bleach crossovers that I can.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or Naruto. Just this fanfic.

A New Life, Same World

Chapter One: Hello Karakura

Karakura Town
8:29 pm

A pair motorcycles raced through the streets of Karakura. They effortlessly and flawlessly weaved in and out of traffic at speeds that most people would struggle just to drive in a straight line. The bikes rounded a corner and entered an empty lot with a simple wooden shop. The two rides killed the engines and stepped off the bikes. There was a black haired girl and a red haired boy standing in front of the shop, apparently closing up the shop.

"HEY!" the boy rudely shouted. "We're closed! Get lost!"

"I see you're still a rude little punk, Jinta." the first said as he and the other rider pulled off their helmets.

"Hey! I'm not little!!" Jinta shouted.

"Whatever Shrimp." Kenshi said, ignoring the boy. "Hello Ururu. Is Urahara in?"

"Hello Mr. Mitsurugi, Ms. Haruno." Ururu said with a slight bow. "Mr. Urahara is inside."

"Please Ururu, you don't have to be so formal for us." Sakura said.

The door to the shop opened, revealing Urahara and Tessai. "Ah. Sakura, Kenshi. It good to see you both again." Urahara said with a grin. "Nice bikes. Your work Sakura?"

"The engines were my creation. But the rest of the bikes we worked on together." Sakura replied.

"They run on spiritual energy of the rider, don't they?" Urahara asked, staring at the motorcycles.

"Actually, they run on both spiritual energy and normal gasoline." Sakura said. "That way, any humans who inspect the bikes won't find anything suspicious about them."

Urahara whistled. "Wow. You'll have to show me the blueprints for those bikes. And of course, anything else you've been working on."

"Sure." Sakura said. "But we can do that later. We have much to talk about first. So, what's been happening in Karakura since the last time we've been here?"

"A fair amount as happened. Step inside. I'll tell ya everything." Urahara replied, beckoning them into the shop.


Outside an Abandoned Warehouse

An Hour and a Half Later

"This looks like it'll be a suitable location." Sakura said as they inspected the warehouse.

"Yeah." Kenshi said, nodding his head. "Let's get the barrier erected first. Then we can add the other necessities later."

Their voices were quiet, calm and business-like. Their minds were thinking about what Urahara had told them. The Hogyoku inside Miss Kuchiki's body. Urahara's means to destroy it. Personally, they were both torn over Urahara's plan. The Hogyoku had to be destroyed. It was too dangerous to be allowed to exist. If the wrong person got their hands on it, it would be disastrous. If Aizen got his hands on it...it could be the beginning of Armageddon. Yet the means to the destruction of the Hogyoku were less than pure. Turning a young soul reaper into a human without even her knowledge of what was happening. It was wrong. It was...well like what happened to them. Yet, the Hogyoku had to be destroyed. But at what cost?

Then there was those that had died. Several of those they knew and cared about had died since the last time they were here. He wished they had stayed in better touch with them than he had. The last time he spoke to any of them was about fourteen years ago. Far, far too long. And now it was too late.

"Right." Sakura said as she turned towards the parked motorcycles.

She reached her motorcycle and opened one of the side bags on the bike. Inside the bag was a number of scrolls. Sakura pulled one out and unrolled it. She then bit her finger and smeared the blood across several symbols. There was a poof of smoke and when it cleared, Sakura was holding the rolled up scroll and several small bottles of paint.

"I'll get started on west and south sides. You take the north and east sides." Sakura said, handing Hawk several of the bottles.

The two walked to opposing walls and started painting a line of symbols across the walls. When they finished, Sakura performed a few quick hand seals and said a quick chant. Symbols began to glow for a few minutes before disappearing.

"There." Sakura said. "As of now, we are invisible to the world."

"Good. Now let's get some rooms set up." Kenshi said.


Karakura High School

The Following Morning

Ichigo Kurosaki half-listened to the teacher taking attendance. When suddenly, the classroom door opened, revealing two students, a guy and a girl. "Is this Ms. Ochi's room?" the girl asked.

They were easily the oddest pair he had ever seen. The girl had green eyes and...bright pink hair. What kinda person has pink hair? Most of her hair was tied in a braided ponytail that reached halfway down her back, while the bangs framed her face. She wore a pair of earrings with a strange silver spiral leaf thing hanging from them. She also had four silver rings on her fingers. One on her left index finger, another on her left ring finger, one on her right ring finger and the last one on her right pinky. (1) The rest of his attire was the standard girl's uniform.

The guy looked even stranger. He looked like some of the thugs Ichigo regularly fought with. He had blue eyes and brown hair. His hair was in a loose ponytail that was a bit shorter than the girl's. The rest of his hair was styled into short spikes that were angled back. His most distinguishing feature was a number of tattoos covered his arms. The largest of which was a white Chinese dragon coiling around his right wrist and forearm and an identical black dragon on left wrist and forearm. (2) Somehow, Ichigo could tell that this guy had even more tattoos on his body. He also wore a necklace with a white dragon and a black dragon coiled around each other in a yin-yang design. He also had silver silver rings, all on his right hand. One on his thumb, one on his index finger and one on his ring finger. (1) He wore the standard boy's uniform minus the tie.

"I almost forgot." Ms. Ochi said before turning to the rest of the class. "Class, we have two new students joining us. Would you care to introduce yourselves and tell us a little bit about yourselves?"

As the two of them entered the room, the bulk of the class began to talk amongst themselves about the two.

"Look at the hair! Who dyes their hair pink?"

"I know. It's such an ugly hair color."

"Look at that guy's arms. Who has that many tattoos on their arms?"

"He's gotta be some kinda thug."

These were just a handful of the things that were said by various people in the class. Both of the new students clearly heard the things they were saying. The girl ignored them but the guy became annoyed.

"The next person to say something bad about my tattoos, I'll beat them to death with their own skull." the new guy said, in a surprisingly calm tone, to the class.

Everybody pretty much stopped talking after that.

The girl punched the guy in the back of the head. "Kakashi...We're trying to make a good first impression here. Not scare them witless."

The guy, Kakashi, shrugged as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm Ino Yamanaka." the pink haired girl said with a smile. "Before anyone asks, this is my natural hair color."

Everyone in the class, save the guy that came with her, stared at her in disbelief.

Ino cleared her throat cleared her and continued, "I like flowers and any and all kinds of machines and technology, though motorcycles are my favorite. I dislike perverts. My hobbies include botany and fixing up motorcycles." (3)

'What a weird person.' was the general thought that most people in the had after hearing that. After all, who could someone like both flowers and machines. They were about as different as anything could be. And of course, her natural hair color was pink.

"Kakashi Hatake." the tattooed guy said in a bored tone. "Okay listen up, cause I'm only gonna say this once. I'm the kinda person who doesn't feel like to talking about his likes and dislikes. I have lots of hobbies. None of which I feel like talking about. And that's about it." (4)

Everyone in the class stared at him. 'All he told us was his name!' was the general thought throughout the class this time.

Ms. Ochi cleared her throat. "Take your seats."

Both nodded and took the two empty desks in the class in the back of the class.


12:30

Kenshi, or rather Kakashi as he was currently being called, had found this whole thing amusing. They had felt Kurosaki pretty much from the moment they entered Karakura. The guy was like a geyser of spiritual energy. It was surprising that Isshin's son had so much spiritual energy, even with Miss Kuchiki's power's added to his own. It was just massive. Probably about lieutenant-class levels, maybe low captain-class levels. But the problem was that he appeared to have zero control over it. Which actually made him weaker as a result. No doubt his zanpaku-to was all power but no focus. He could probably cut it in two with a dull, rusted letter opener.

And of course, both he and Miss Kuchiki were completely obvious to how all the spiritual energy was affecting the world around him. No doubt, the number of hollows in area had dramatically increased. Hollows would naturally be attracted to someone with Ichigo's level of reiatsu.

And then there was those around him. People around him were having their own dormant potential slowly awakened. So far he had counted six people in this classroom that were being affected. The long haired girl with large 'assets', the tomboy sitting next to her, the giant guy of Hispanic descent, a short black haired guy, some brown haired guy, and a black haired guy who was about an inch or two shorter than Ichigo. There was a seventh, Uryu Ishida, Ryuken's son. Who, in Kenshi's opinion, seemed to be just like his father was at that age, cold and arrogant. Too bad he didn't take after his grandfather. And based on the amount of reiatsu he had, he was a Quincy or at least one in training. Likely he knew about Ichigo and Miss Kuchiki. And he would have known about him and Sakura too...If they weren't in their gigais. Which effectively masked their reiatsu, making it impossible for anyone to read them as anything other than two ordinary people.

"Hey new guy. You wanna have lunch with us?" that brown haired kid asked him.

"Sure. I don't believe I got your name." he replied.

"I'm Keigo Asano." the boy said with a cocky grin. "Karakura High's Number One Ladies' Man."

'Somehow, I doubt that very much.' Hawk thought. 'More like Karakura High's Number One Goofball.'

"Oh, and this is Mizuiro." Keigo said pointing to the short black haired kid.

"Hi." Mizuiro greeted.

Keigo then pointed to the big guy. "And the big guy is Chad."

The giant nodded. "Hey."

"And finally, the guy with the permanent scowl is Ichigo."

"Ichigo?" Hawk said in mock confusion. "Isn't that a girl's name?"

He knew what Ichigo's name meant and actually, kinda liked it. But he purposely brought that up to provoke him. He wanted to get into a fight with Ichigo. Mainly to see just how skilled he was. Even if Ichigo wasn't in soul reaper form.

"What did you say?!" an enraged Ichigo shouted. "It is not a girl's name!!"

"I'm sure he didn't anything by it, Ichigo." Mizuiro said, trying to calm him down.

"Yeah it is. Ichigo means strawberry." he said, ignoring Mizuiro. "And what kinda guy has the name Strawberry, Strawberry?

"No! My name means 'he who protects', not strawberry!!" Ichigo shouted back. "Besides, your name means scarecrow!"

"So." he replied, nonchalantly. "Anyone who gets so easily rattled because of their name is quite pathetic, Strawberry."

"That's it! You and me! Outside! Now!"

"Fine with me Strawberry. But you should know that I am quite a skilled fighter."

"Well so am I, Scarecrow."


The Roof of Karakura High School
Five Minutes Later

"Come on Ichigo." Mizuiro pleaded. "Can't we just enjoy our lunch in peace?"

"Relax Mizuiro." Ichigo said. "This will all be over in a minute."

"A minute? I won't need a minute to kick your ass, Strawberry." Hawk said as he took off his rings and placed them in his pocket. "Hit me with your best shot."

Ichigo swung at him, Kenshi knocked the fist away with ease. "Too slow." he commented before punching him in the chest.

Icihgo stumbled back a few steps. He quickly recovered and delivered a roundhouse kick to Kenshi's head, sending him to the ground. Apparently unconscious.

"See, I told you that it would take only a minute to kick his ass." Ichigo said, turning to Mizuiro.

Suddenly Kenshi's legs wrapped around his left ankle. "Well, you were right about one thing Strawberry. It will take a minute to kick your ass."

Kenshi twisted his legs, sending Ichigo crashing to the ground. Kenshi jumped up back onto his feet. "Lesson one Strawberry. Never take your eye off the opponent until you know he isn't getting back up any time soon."

Ichigo growled and swung his legs, trying to trip he. But Kenshi jumped back, avoiding the attempt. "Still too slow Strawberry." Kenshi commented.

Ichigo growled again and jumped up to his feet. Ichigo launched a flurry of punches. Kenshi dodged and sidestepped the punches. "C'mon Strawberry. I've seen little girls that are better than you."

"Shut up!!" Ichigo shouted as he delivered another roundhouse kick to him.

Kenshi ducked and kicked the shin of the leg remaining on the ground, sending Ichigo yet again to the ground.

"Lesson two Strawberry. If your opponent is quick to anger, seek to irritate them constantly. Because an angry opponent is a sloppy and predictable opponent." Kenshi said. "Give up Strawberry?"

"No way in hell!" Ichigo shouted, jumping back up to his feet.

He launched another barrage of punches. Kenshi blocked each and every one of them. Kenshi then sidestepped a punch and quickly moved behind Ichgio before Ichigo could react.

"Time to end this." Kenshi said as he thrust his right index and middle fingers into a spot on Ichigo's lower back, near his spine.

The second he hit that spot, Ichigo's body instantly froze.

"What?! What the hell did you do to me?!" Ichigo shouted as he tried to move his body.

"Did you know that there certain points all over the human body, that when hit the right way, can cause temporary paralysis to a person's body? Or even a death-like state?" Kenshi asked in a nonchalantly manner. "Final lesson Strawberry. Always fight your opponents on your terms. Not their's. Truth be told Strawberry, I had you beaten the moment I said, 'Isn't that a girl's name?'"

"That being said..." he said as he walked in front of Ichigo. "You are a strong fighter. Your technical skills are quite good. Your strong, fast and quite skilled with your punches and kicks. Unfortunately, you have one major weakness."

"What?! What are you talking about?!"

"Your temper. It makes you predictable and sloppy. And one of these days, it's gonna get you into trouble." Kenshi said. "And it was because of your temper that I beat you so quickly. I kept you angry to stop you from thinking and planning how to beat me. Because of your anger, you attacked wildly and were predictable. You'll never beat me unless you can control your temper."

Ichigo glared at him, but didn't say anything.

"You don't have to give the evil eye, Ichigo." Kenshi casually said. "I'm sorry for all that, Ichigo. But they only way to truly learn anything about anyone is to fight them. At least that's what I believe anyway. Since that's out of the way, we can now properly introduce ourselves."

Ichigo, Chad, Mizuiro and Keigo all stared at him in disbelief. Kenshi stuck out his hand in front of Ichigo. "Hi there. Name's Kakashi Hatake."

He held his hand out for moment before realizing that Ichigo was still paralyzed. "Oops..." he said with an embarrassed smile. "I forgot about that."

"Just undo this." an extremely angry and annoyed Ichigo said.

"Er...I can't. You're gonna have to wait for it to wear off. Don't worry. It'll wear off in about five minutes. Ten at the most."

"WHAT?!"

Kenshi scratched the back of his head. "Sorry."

Kenshi turned to the others. "Shall we have lunch while we wait for him to regain his mobility?"

Mizuiro shrugged. "Sure."

Chad silently nodded.

"Yeah. I'm hungry" Keigo said.

"WHAT?!" Ichigo shouted as the four sat down and unpacked their lunches. "You're gonna have lunch with him after what he did to me?!"

"You mean being the first person besides Tatsuki to have ever beaten you one on one?" Mizuiro casually replied.

"Tatsuki? Who's that?" Kenshi asked, ignoring Ichigo's childish shouts.

It was funny. Ichigo hadn't changed that much from the last time they met. When Ichigo was a little baby. Back then, Ichigo was a fussy, crybaby when his mother wasn't around. In fact, the last time they babysat Ichigo, he cried almost the entire night. Ichigo would have cried the entire night if he hadn't come up with an inventive use for his hollow mask.

"Tatsuki's that short haired girl that looks more like a boy than a girl." Keigo said.

"Ah that girl...Who's that long haired girl sitting next to her?"

"Ah...You have good taste, Kakashi my good man." Keigo said, a grin spreading across his face. "That heavenly goddess is Orihime Inoue."

'That's five of their names. Only that last one remains unknown. I'll have to ask about him later.' Hawk thought as Keigo droned on about Orihime like a love-sick puppy.

Urahara had told them that those two had died as well. But they had two children before they died, one of which was Ichigo's age and was in his class. Who that person was, Urahara didn't say. And they never knew their parents real names. They only knew them by aliases as was the custom of their kind. But supposedly they had wished for their children to live normal lives, free of the knowledge of spirits, hollows and everything else in the spiritual world. That being said, just about any of those six could be one of their children.

Frankly, he didn't blame them for wanting their child to live in ignorance. After everything that had happened to him, he was pretty sick of the spiritual world. But at the moment, he couldn't leave the spiritual world. Not until Aizen was stopped. Once Aizen was dealt with, he would try to find a quiet place where he wouldn't have to deal with the spiritual world ever again. Of course, the world of the living wasn't much better. But that was something entirely different.

"Hey! Ichigo!" a voice shouted. "Who won?"

Everyone, expect Ichigo, who still couldn't move, turned to the stairs. It was that tomboy, Tatsuki. She stared at Ichigo's frozen form. "Hey Ichigo! I'm talking to you!"

"I can't move." Ichigo grumbled.

"What?!"

"Yeah...That was me." Kenshi said as he scratched the back of his head. "I beat him and hit a pressure point in his back and he's still paralyzed."

Tatsuki's eyes widened in surprise. "You beat Ichigo?"

Kenshi shrugged. "Yeah."

Fires suddenly started burning in her eyes. "Finally, someone besides Ichigo that can be a worthy opponent."

Now Kenshi's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't like the sound of this. "Wh...what?"

"You heard me." Tatsuki said. "You and me right here, right now."

"C'mon. I'm eating lunch."

"Fine." Tatsuki grumbled. "Meet at the gym after classes."


Karakura High School Gym
3:37 pm

Kenshi was surprised at the number of people present for this little sparring match. Orihime and some other girls were there to cheer Tatsuki on. Sakura was also present, having become friends with the group of girls. Keigo, Mizuiro, and Chad were also there, likely to cheer him on. Rounding out the group was Ichigo and Rukia. He doubted Ichigo was here to cheer him on. It was more likely that he was hoping to see Tatsuki kick his ass.

"I'm ready when you are." Kenshi said, moving into a fighting stance.

Tatsuki moved into her own fighting stance. "Let's do this."

Tatsuki struck first, launching a right hand at him. Kenshi blocked the punch and delivered one of his own. Only to have it blocked by Tatsuki. The two stepped back and swung their fists again. At the last second, Tatsuki ducked beneath his fist and drove her fist into his gut.

Hawk stumbled back a few feet. "Not bad. Your much better than Ichigo."

Tatsuki smirked. "I could say the same of you."

The two began trading blows again. Neither seemed to have the upper hand over the other. Tatsuki's fist hit Kenshi's chest. He stumbled back a few steps but managed to block Tatsuki's next fist and delivered a punch of his own.

Kenshi had to admit, he was impressed. Tatsuki was quite a fighter. Definitely better than Ichigo. Of course, he was just playing with her, like he had with Ichigo earlier. But it was time to end this.

The two swung their fists at each other. They both hit each other in the face and stood there for a moment. Then they both fell to the ground.

Kenshi glanced at Tatsuki. She was breathing heavily and tried to get back up, but failed. He mimicked her failed attempt to get up. "How about we call this a draw?" he said.

"Yeah."


Outside the Vizard Hideout
A Short While Later

"Well, that was an interesting day." Sakura said as they approached the warehouse door.

"Yeah. Though I wish that would have been a hollow alert. I wanted to see what Ichigo could truly do." Hawk said, Karasu preached on his shoulder.

"Same here. But there'll be a hollow before long." Sakura said as they opened the door.

Suddenly, their cell phones started beeping. A hollow alert.

"Speak of the devil." Kenshi said. "Shall we go?"

Sakura nodded. The two stepped into the warehouse and closed the door.

A minute later, the door opened again and a pair of masked, cloaked beings emerged before disappearing.


Karakura Park
A Short While Later

"RWAAAAAR!!" a large rhino-like hollow roared as it charged at the spirit of a young woman.

It was half-way at the woman when something slashed across it's side.

"Come on, you ugly hollow! Why don't you pick on me!" Ichigo shouted as he raised his zanpaku-to.

The hollow turned towards him, roared and started running at him. The second the hollow reached him, Ichigo brought his sword down, slicing it's head in two, down the center. The hollow collapsed and faded away. "There. That's taken care of."

He turned to the spirit of a young woman, hiding behind a park bench. "Now for you."

"Please don't hurt me." the scared woman pleaded.

"Relax. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm just helping you pass on." Ichigo said as he tapped her forehead with the butt of his sword, sending her to the Soul Society.

The sound of clapping filled the air. "Not bad Mr. Kurosaki." a male but heavily masked voice said.

"For person which such limited experience and knowledge, to be able to fight hollows by yourself as well as you are, is quite impressive." a masked female voice said.

Both Ichigo and Rukia turned to the source of the voices. Sitting on the branches of a nearby tree, were two mask people. Both wore identical outfits. They wore black pants with bandages taped around their ankles. On their feet were black leather sandals. They wore black long coats with high collars and long, baggy shelves. (Akatsuki style coats) They had black, fingerless gloves on, with metal plates on the backs of their hands. On their heads, were black hoods and white masks. The masks were the only thing that separated them. The masks had no nose or mouth holes or marks. The eyes of the masks were narrow slits. There was a unique mark on each mask. The first one had a black bird on the right eye of the mask. The second mask had a red cat head on the left eye. (basically, Hunter-Nin masks) (5)

The two jumped down from tree and landed in front of them. Ichigo raised his zanpaku-to defensively. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Are you members of the Special Forces?" Rukia asked, her voice full of fear.

"No. We are not part of the Special Forces." the male answered.

"Nor are we a part of the 13 Court Guard Squads for that matter." the female said.

"Than who are you and what do want?" Ichigo asked.

"You may call me, Raven." the male said.

"And I am Cat." the female said.

"As to what we want...Well that's much more complex and private." Raven said.

"And what's that?" Ichigo asked.

"Something is coming. Something big. And we are here to observe. And that's all you need to know at the moment." Cat said. "But the two of you interest us. A soul reaper loaning her powers to a human. That's something that just doesn't happen. In fact, I think it's a first. Or at least, it hasn't happened in a couple hundred years."

The two bowed. "We'll be keeping an eye on you two for the time being." Raven said. "Even if you can't see us, we'll be watching."

Cat nodded and added, "Until we meet again."

Before Ichigo could say anything, a flock of ravens suddenly swarmed the group, distracting him and Rukia. When the birds disappeared, they discovered that the two were gone.

Ichigo turned to Rukia. "Who were those two?"

"I don't know." Rukia replied. "I've never heard of anyone like those two."

"Think they could be trouble?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't know." Rukia said, shaking her head. "I honestly don't know."


(1) The rings all serve a purpose. Most act similar summoning scroll. And I will reveal all their functions in later chapters.

(2) The dragon tattoos were the ones he got after achieving shikai.

(3) The reason for her love of botany and machines, has to do with her time in the Twelfth. After they went into exile, she continued to experiment and possess a great deal of knowledge on modern human technology and the technology of the Soul Society. And actively experiments on combining to the two.

(4) I couldn't resist doing that. I loved Kakashi's introduction in the beginning of Naruto.

(5) Their zanpaku-tos are concealed underneath their coats. Just to let you all know.

I mentioned in this chapter an OC of mine. I'm not gonna go into much detail of him until a few chapters from now. So at the moment, he just a background character. Like Uryu was until he revealed himself to Ichigo.

Also, I won't reveal a whole lot of Kenshi's and Sakura's actions during the hundred year time period between TBTP and Bleach until after Team 7 is reunited. Which won't happen until the Arrancar arc.

One final thing. I've recently discovered a picture of Tatsuki with a zanpaku-to in it's shikai state that's supposedly drawn by Tite Kubo himself. The link is here img.photobucket. com/albums /v328/KampferRacer 213/tatsuki023hk .jpg If the link doesn't work, go to photobucket and type in Tatsuki and you'll find it. And I have to say, it's one more unusual zanpaku-tos I've seen. Now I don't know if it really is real or even if it will be what happens to her. Frankly, I hope it is real. And that Keigo and Mizuiro receive something similar. I like the three of them more than most of the major protagonists in Bleach.

Next Chapter: Battle in the Graveyard

As always, please review.
