Okay, I finally decided what the plot would be for my story. I hope that you like the story. It will not completely follow the story line of the original Bleach, but the outline of bleach will kind of be kept in tact. I hope you like my changes. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Allies and Foes

Rukia, a soul reaper, had given all her power to Ichigo. She had no way to get back to the Soul Society, but she was able to get a gigai, which allows for the soul reaper to heal within a body, from Kisuke Urahara. Kisuke Urahara was exiled from the soul society and lives within the human world unable to return to the soul society. Airi knew that she would be able to find Kisuke within the human world probably somewhere close to Rukia and Ichigo. So she snuck away from the Seireitei and entered the human world without anyone every knowing she left. She was able to hide her presence and her power with the help of her zanpakutō, Tsubasa U~ībā which means Wing Weaver. Her zanpakutō was a mystery to other shinigamis, and they wondered what power it held since she rarely if never showed the true power of her zanpakutō.

As Airi entered the human world, she was taken aback by all the memories she had collected when she lived in Tokyo. She was happy and enjoyed life with her friends and family. She was broken when she had discovered her family's gigais were butchered, but luckily her family was not in them when they were destroyed. Her family had returned to the dimension where they had come from and decided to return to their duties there. Airi began her search following from Ichigo's school to down the street and went through different small allies that were shady looking. Airi thought "Kisuke would definitely be in a place like this or somewhere more secluded but within range of Ichigo." She finally found a small run down green store that said Urahara's Shop. "This is it," she thought. Finally I found him.

"Stop there. Are you from the Soul Society? What do you want here? How did you find this place? Why do you have a gigai?" asked a tall man where classes and an apron.

Airi: Hello, Tessai Tsukabishi. You don't know me, but I know of you. Let me see Kisuke. I wish to speak with him.

Tessai: All who come from the soul society are not welcome here. Leave!

Airi: I will not leave. If you wish to challenge me, it is your funeral.

"Wait! That is enough. Will you deprive me of my childhood friend as well as my home? Hello, Airi. It has been a while." A man with pale blond hair and a green kimono came out from the shop. He was tall wearing traditional clothes sloppily and looked as if he woke up. It was Kisuke Urahara.

Airi: Well if it isn't Kisuke. I didn't come here to deprive you of anything. I know the truth behind your exile. All I want to do is change the course of destiny. Will you hear me out?

Kisuke: Tessai, she is friendly. She doesn't technically belong to the soul society. I will explain later. For now come inside and have some tea.

Airi: I will. Thank you. *walking towards the shop to enter*

Tessai: I am sorry for being rude. I didn't know that you were a friend.

Airi: Tessai, I am very different. It is not your fault you suspected me. I would if I were you.

Kisuke: Airi may have come from the soul society, but it is not her birth place just like the human world is not her birth place or her sisters'. She has no place she belongs, but another dimension.

Airi: Kisuke, that is so harsh to say I don't belong anywhere. It is true that my sisters and I are unique in that we do not come from the Soul Society or the Human World, but we have made these places are home. Kisuke, I sense that Yoruichi is near. Tell her to come out.

Kisuke: Yoruichi, it is safe. You know Airi.

Yoruichi in cat form: Ah! Forgive me, your highness. I didn't recognize you. You have surely grown since last I saw you. You are a beautiful lady.

Airi: Yoruichi, you're a cat! How did that happen?

Yoruichi: Forgive me, but I need to stay in this form to be able to help Ichigo.

Airi: Perfect! I have come here for precisely that. Kisuke, the movements that have led to your exile have begun to move again. I need your help along with Yoruichi. I have decided not to stay a bystander any longer. I am going to change destiny.

Kisuke: Do you know what you are saying? If you change destiny or even mess with destiny too much, you could leave it to a far worse fate.

Airi: I know. I have taken precautions to ensure that we are successful. I need your help. My sisters are also on board with this idea.

Yoruichi: Sisters? Your youngest has joined you?

Airi: Yes, She wanted to experience life. Kisuke, if you help, I will lift your exile, and everything in the soul society will be balanced once again like it should be fighting for justice.

Kisuke:*Thinking* what can I do to help?

Yoruichi: I will help to?

Airi: Great! Yoruichi, I need you to watch carefully some others that are around Ichigo.

Yoruichi: Who?

Airi: Well soon, Ichigo will encounter a Quincy by the name Uryū. He can handle his own training plus there will be another to help him train soon. I need you to watch over not just Ichigo, but Ichigo's friends, Orihime and Sado. Their powers will reveal themselves in time while staying close to Ichigo. I need you to train Orihime and Sado how to use them once their powers are exposed. Kisuke, I need you to prepare Ichigo for retrieving his powers once the Soul Society comes for Rukia.

Kisuke: How do you know that they will come?

Airi: I know.

Tessai: Forgive me for being rude, but may I ask why we are going to help her? Can we even trust her?

Kisuke: Tessai, be careful what you say! We are in the presence of royalty.

Airi: Kisuke, he doesn't know who I am. I will explain to him since the Soul Society has kept secret the existence of the King for his own protection.

As Airi was explaining who she was and where she came from, Yoruichi left to begin her new assignment. Kisuke and Yoruichi had met Airi, Akemi, and Aimi before when they were younger. They had pledged their allegiance long ago to the sisters and vowed to protect them from harm. Kisuke followed and tracked Ichigo's progress as he was training as a substitute soul reaper in place of Rukia. Kisuke had missed the Soul Society and wished to return to his home, but the real reason for following Airi was his duty as a shinigami sworn to protect and defend the sisters for all time.

Meanwhile in the Soul Society, Akemi snuck out to the Rukon District to find Yoruichi and Yoruichi's friend, Kūkaku, when she got the message that Yoruichi was in the human world and had been found by her eldest sister. Akemi wished with all her heart that she could go to the human world to see the young boy she knew in Mexico. She wanted to see Sado and talk with him. She knew of his fate, because she had been watching his fate unravel since she was sent back to the Soul Society. Akemi asked around to see if anyone had known where she could find Kūkaku and several people pointed in directions that she used to be which led her to the current location of Kūkaku. Akemi had her zanpakutō with her to help her in case there was trouble. She frequently used her zanpakutō, Kuroi Ryū meaning Black Dragon, when she needed to sneak out of any place.

As Akemi entered the house that had two huge stone hands holding a sign in front of the entrance, she was immediately stopped by the youngest brother, Ganju Shiba. "What do you want here, Soul Reaper?" It was clear that he didn't like shinigamis all that much. She was thinking that she didn't need to use her weapon to defeat this monkey. It was clear that Ganju was pretty weak since Akemi could sense his spiritual level. "I will ask again. What do you want here?" asked the buffoon looking man. "I only wish to speak with Kūkaku that is all," said Akemi, but by the looks of it, this buffoon would not believe her. She thought that he was as stupid as he looked since he was about ready to attack when he was kicked from behind.

"I told you to keep it down. Besides if you harm this girl, you will be declaring war with a far scarier being. Hello, your highness Akemi. Please come in for some tea. Now what can I do for you?" asked a beautiful woman wearing red and seemed to be standing on her brother. "Kūkaku, I have been looking everywhere for you! Thank you. I would like some tea very much. You are looking good. How have you been?" asked Akemi as she sat down within a large room drinking her tea. "Your highness, I have been doing well." "Please stop calling me highness. I have a name!" "As you wish, Akemi, now what can I do for you?" "I need your help. Yoruichi will be coming here soon. I will be staying with you until Yoruichi and the others arrive. You will need to help them to enter the Seireitei. I will explain." "I understand, Akemi."

As Akemi was telling Kūkaku what was happening meanwhile in the Seireitei, Aimi was tracking down Aizen. She kept herself cloaked from the two that she had been following, and she was close enough to hear what Aizen and Gin were saying. "Gin, Rukia has gone missing in the human world. I am sure that Kisuke will help her. He may even give her what we need." "Are you sure, Aizen, that Kisuke would just give it to her without her knowledge?" "Yes, I believe so. However, I think we have a bigger problem to worry about." "Aizen, what do you mean?" "I think we are being spied on!" exclaimed Aizen as he began walking away from Gin who was a tall thinly man that seemed to always have a smile on and his eyes closed. Aimi quickly flashed step a safe distance and began by looking inconspicuous while just walking in any direction. "Well if it isn't Aimi, the youngest sister? What are you doing here?" asked Aizen as both Gin and Aizen flashed stepped beside Aimi. "Hello, Aizen and Gin. What can I do for you? I am on my way to see Captain Yamada to have one of our usual discussions," said Aimi as she continued to walk and showing no sign that she was spying. Aizen began to think that maybe he was wrong on the spying suspicion, but he decided to keep a closer eye on the sisters since he wanted to be careful. "Never mind, I have some work that needs to be done. I will talk to you later Gin and have a good day, Aimi." As soon as Aizen disappeared, Aimi made sure he was not in range of what she was going to say.

Aimi: Gin, wait a moment, I would like to speak with you.

Gin: How can I help you, Aimi?

Aimi: First, I know what Aizen is planning. Second, I know why you are doing this. What you are doing for Rangiku is sweet, but she will not be happy if you die for this.

Gin: I have no idea what you are talking about?

Aimi: I have the power to see your fate. I know the path that you are taking and the fate for taking such a path.

Gin: I, too, know of you, your highness. Aizen doesn't know the truth, but when I saw you three it made sense since Rangiku believes in the legend of the King of the Soul Society.

Aimi: Gin, please listen. I don't want to see your fate like this please.

Gin: I die, don't I? This is why you are here talking to me? *smile fades* Do I get back what he took from Rangiku? *Sees the look of no across Aimi's face* I guess not. What can I do to be successful?

Aimi: Let my sisters and I handle the rest. You have done well enough for Rangiku.

Gin: No, please let me do more. I wish to serve her. I can help you, too? Please I want to be able to save Rangiku and protect her. If I can't do anything, I don't deserve to be by her side.

Aimi: I understand. I will protect you by placing this spell to shield your thoughts, but you will need to be very careful to not reveal your true self to Aizen in any instances. I will protect you when that time comes. Gin, help me to find out Aizen's plan, and I will help you in retrieving what Aizen took from Rangiku.

Gin: *bows on one knee* I pledge my services to you, your highness Aimi.

Aimi: *blushes at being called highness* Please don't call me that. Anyways I am going to head to Yamada. It really is our time to speak.

Gin: Allow me to escort you, Aimi.

Aimi: Thank you, Gin.

As time drew on, the 3 sisters were preparing for fate as best that they could. Life was becoming more complicated, and they were not sure what destiny would lie in wait for them when they changed the fates of those they wished to protect. So far, the first part of their plans was going according to their wishes, but would Aizen not see the truth for himself? What would happen with Gin? Why were the sisters being called highness? Soon time would tell all of the fate of the sisters of the Soul Society.
