The group of 3 ninja 3 soul reapers substitute soul reaper 2 humans and 1 Quincy left the ramen store after the pink haired girl. They had only gotten down the street a few yards when with a poof of smoke a man with half of his face covered and insane silver hair appeared in front of them.

"Gah! What the hell!" Ichigo exclaimed as he had appeared right in front of him.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" the man replied in a lazy voice

"Kakashi-sensei! Just in time, we need you to house one of our guests it's our team's job to look after them" Sakura spoke to the man before Ichigo could get a reply out.

"Err, well I don't think they want to stay with ..."

"It's our job sensei, we all are, and as you said before were equals now so you should do your fair share" the pink haired girl cut him off giving the man a very hard look.

"Um oh all right then" he sighed in defeat hanging his head, "who will be staying with me?"

"Good, well that hasn't been decided yet we still need to find 3 more people to house someone for us" Sakura answered him

"ok well I think I can help with that, I believe team Gai just got back from their mission not 10 minutes ago, if were quick we can catch them" he said this in an even tone, but in his mind he was thinking that if he had to do this then Gai and his team could too!

"Let's go!" Naruto yelled and sped off in the direction of the Hokage tower but not before leaping into the air and landing on the nearest roof, Sakura and Sai following him forgetting that their guests couldn't follow them, (except Ishida but he wasn't about to let them see what he could do just yet) luckily Kakashi stayed behind. He was amused by the faces of the new people staring dumbly after the other 3, well most of them were Ishida didn't look impressed and Toushiro was looking at Kakashi expectantly. Realising this he spoke up, slightly un-nerved by the kids' cold hard stare.

"If you would follow me, ill take you back to the Hokage tower where they are headed to"

This snapped the others out of their trance, and they all set off at an even paced run firmly on the ground. It wasn't long before they got back to the tower. Upon arriving they instantly spotted the Naruto bright visage and along with him the other two. In front of them were a group of four people, a brown haired girl with her hair in buns and a giant scroll on her back, a man with very long brown hair and pale clothes, and the other two who were dressed exactly the same, a green spandex suit orange leg warmers and dark green jackets, they even had the same bowl hair cut. When they got to within hearing range the younger of the two lookalikes was saying,

"Of course I will help you in your hour of need, it would be un-youthful not too!"

Followed by the older "dam right Lee, we couldn't leave them to the streets now could we"

"No Gai-sensei we could not!"

The group then noticed Kakashi and the new comers

"Ah this must be them now! Hello I am Rock Lee and I am very pleased to meet you!" Lee waved to them all, he got a few small smiles and some nervous waves back. Orihime was the only one to say hi back with a large smile, it would be rude not to when he was being so friendly to them.

"Right now that were all here, shall we sort out the living arrangements" Kakashi said.

"Yeah! Ichigo can stay with me!" Naruto exclaimed. Causing Ichigo to look alarmed, that guy is way to hyper I don't want to stay with him! But he reminded him self that they were guests here and he should be grateful to get somewhere to stay at all, so he just said

"Err, yea thanks" causing Naruto to grin so wide it looked it might split his face.

"Right well that's one sorted, any one else want to volunteer?" Kakashi spoke up.

"Well Orihime can stay with me, and I think Rukia should stay with Tenten if she doesn't mind?" this came from Sakura directing the last part of her sentence at the girl in question.

"No I don't mind, but who is Rukia?"

"That's me" Rukia said stepping forward so the girl could see her.

"Hi I'm Tenten, nice to meet you" she greeted the small girl, not really sure what else to say the situation had been kind of sprung on them.

"Ok so who's next?" asked Gai giving a huge smile to the crowd. There was no response, Neji was hoping to be over looked there was no way he was having a stranger stay with him, and he would have to get permission from the clan leader anyway. Before the silence could continue there was a small huff and then a voice started to speak.

"Abarai you are to stay with Gai, Chad I suggest you to stay with Sai as you are both silent, I will stay with Kakashi and that leaves Ishida to stay with Lee, has anyone got any problems with these arrangements?" Toushiro spoke, if someone didn't get this sorted now they would be here all day. Plus he wanted to stay with the team leader so he could spy… no discreetly gather information from him.

"No sir, no problems" replied Renji. There was a grunt from Chad but it didn't sound displeased so he took that to mean he was fine with it. Ishida simply pushed his glasses up his nose and said

"It's fine"

Kakashi was a bit none-plused about what just happened, did that man Abarai just call him sir? Also he had invited him self into my home and there's no way I can say no. He snapped out of his thoughts he would go back to them later, and spoke to the group.

"Well now that that's all settled for us, I suggest we show our respective new guests around the village and then to where they will be staying, we can all meet up again tomorrow morning at the training grounds, is that alright with everyone?"

There was murmured agreement from every one, and so they then all said quick goodbyes to each other and split up to follow their hosts. Apart from Neji who gratefully just went home.

With Rukia and Tenten.

"So what have you been told about us?" Rukia asked the girl, she thought it would be wise to check so she didn't let anything slip she wasn't supposed to she just hoped the others had the same sense.

"Oh, the Hokage told us all about you and where your from, she's telling all higher level teams with the order that the information isn't to leave the village"

"Oh well that's good then, saves me explaining" she smiled at the girl, she had a feeling they would get on very well.

"So is your sensei always sooo ..." she let the question trail off not quite sure how to finish.

"Err yea... I feel sorry for your red haired friend, Gai might just drive him crazy, the one staying with Lee might too for that matter" Tenten replied giving a nervous laugh.

"Renji can handle it, as for Ishida who's staying with Lee it might be the other way around, he takes a bit of work getting used to"

"Well Lees a master of hard work and nothing can get him down for long at all" Tenten told Rukia. "Well that's good"

Renji and Gai.

Right now Renji wished he could be anywhere but with this guy, he was too… Happy. And he wouldn't stop smiling, the man was talking non stop as they walked through the village, mostly about how Kakashi was his rival or something. The red head had stopped listing a long time ago now when he realised he wasn't saying any thing important. It was just drivel about challenges he had won and lost to said man. He even told Renji about the time he did 500 laps around the village on his hands, this guy was nuts! And Renji has to stay with him for how long?

Right now he would even be glad to see Kenpachi he was an insane he could deal with. Eventually they came to Gai's house.

"Well here we are Renji home sweet home" Gai said happily, he was quite excited about having a house guest it had been a long time since he had anyone stay with him. It would be a new challenge!

Chad and Sai.

A house guest, what did you do with a house guest. Sai had no idea he had never had anyone stay at his home with him and he hadn't read about it in any of his books. He supposed it wouldn't be much different than when they were on a mission, he had stayed in a room with Naruto before with no difficulties.

Yes it would be just like when they were on a mission. With this thought he turned to the giant person and said.

"Well giant my home is this way, follow me" Sai said giving him a smile.

"Ok" was all Chad said in return.

Sai then turned and walked away Chad following him silently. It stayed this way for a while Sai not really sure what to say to the silent man, and Chad was just comfortable with the silence as he always was. Eventually though Sai spoke again. Sakura had told him that polite small talk was a good way to get to know someone and make fiends. He thought it would be a good idea seeing as they were going to be living together. The nickname seemed to have gone down well this time too, at least he thought it had the guy hadn't really said anything about it. But what do I ask? Something about them selves, yes that should work.

"Have you always been so large?"

Chad looked at the pale kid for a second wondering why he asked that all of a sudden but he didn't really care so just answered.

"Yes"

"Do you like it?"

"... I guess so" Chad replied slowly, wondering where this was going. But the guy Sai just smiled at him in a way that struck Chad as not real and slightly creepy and walked on in silence. Chad followed the boy for a short time until they came to a small apartment building.

Sai let them into his home, he was wondering where he was going to put the giant man. Maybe four bed rolls laid out would do.

Orihime and Sakura.

"Thank you very much for taking me in Sakura"

"Oh it's no trouble" Sakura replied to the girl "so you're a healer right? Do you have any fighting skills?"

"Yes that's right, and umm no not really Rukia taught me the basics a while ago but I can create a shield so I usually just rely on that" Orihime answered.

"Oh really that will be interesting to see, but it can wait until tomorrow, were at my house now"

Sakura's then proceeded to show the girl into the house and they sorted out where she would be sleeping.

Ishida and Lee.

A severely ticked off Quincy was following the green clad Lee down a quiet street, the boy hadn't shut up since they split from the group. About how he was excited to have this opportunity to make a new friend and how much fun and youthful male bonding they were going to do.

Ishida was seriously considering shooting him just for some peace and quiet.

"Welcome to my home! I've never had anyone stay over before this will be a great adventure!" lee exclaimed while throwing his door open and then pumping his fist in the air.

It'll be something alright Ishida thought to himself most likely the road to murder. But all he said was "I'm sure" he didn't want to be rude they were in a different world after all best not to upset the natives.

Toushiro and Kakashi.

The group split up and Kakashi was left with the white haired kid. He had a frown on his face and looked to be thinking hard about something. Just as he was about to say for him to follow the boy spoke up.

"You mentioned a training ground earlier, can you take me there, there is something I need to sort out before anything else happens"

He was a little taken aback by the question but the kid looked serious so he agreed the proceeded to show him to the nearest grounds. It wasn't far and they travelled in silence, they soon arrived to the large open area.

"So is there a problem?" Kakashi asked the kid

"That's what we are here to find out" he replied. One thing had been bothering the captain since the meeting with the Hokage, they were still in gigais. If they were going to be of any help to the people here at all he needed to know if they could see them or not.

"I'm going to test something out, it may just look like I fall down dead don't be alarmed if that happens ill get up again straight away, but hopefully you'll be able to see me"

"You're not making much sense" Kakashi replied to the boy, just what was he going to do exactly?

"If this works it will, and if it doesn't well then you'll have to stay that way"

He didn't like the sound of that what was he keeping from him? Why would he fall down and appear dead? Despite his questions all he said was "ok, go ahead"

Toushiro stepped away from Kakashi a few paces and proceeded to eject his real self out of the gigai which then toppled to the ground in a heap. He looked to Kakashi and found him to be looking straight at him, his visible eye was looking a little bugged out though.

"Looks like it worked then, good"

The silver haired man just continued to stare at Toushiro trying to make sense of what he just saw. Did he just pop out of his body? And change clothes… and gain a sword.

"What just happened exactly?" Kakashi asked the now black and white clad boy.

"That" he said pointing to the him on the floor "is a fake body called a gigai, me Renji and Rukia are spirit beings known as soul reapers, Ichigo is a substitute soul reaper he has a spirit form too but his body is real, ordinary people where were from cant see us so we need the gigais" at this point Toushiro thought it would be best to leave out the part about them being dead, no need to start a panic or a mob.

"I suppose that makes sense, but then what about the other three?" the kid hadn't said anything about them being spirit beings, his mind was racing and trying to catch up at the same time, spirit beings… did that mean they were dead? Can't be… right?

"They are humans with high spirit pressure and they have powers unique to them" the captain replied thinking that the man was very quick on the uptake. "Is there some where I can put the gigai now that I know your people can see us there's no need for it" Toushiro asked of the silver haired man.

Where was he supposed to put a body? A fake one maybe but it was still a body. "Well maybe the Hokage can have it stored in the hospital or something"

"Good, can you take it to her? Ill go and tell the others and have them bring theirs to her office, we can meet you there"

…Was this kid giving him orders? Well see about that.

"How will you find them? I can tell the others and you can take your gigai to the Hokage tower"

"finding them wont be an issue, I can sense their spiritual pressure" Toushiro answered the silver haired man wondering if was trying to be help full or did he just not like being told what do to.

Not wanting to get into a spat with the new comer Kakashi agreed to his original plan. He slung the body over his shoulder and took off for Tsunades office, just after he took off he looked back but the white haired boy was no where in sight, their fast he thought to him self tomorrow should be interesting.

Ichigo and Naruto.

"Come on Ichigo ill show you to my place" Naruto crowed to the orange head.

Ichigo was not looking forward to this, this dude was loud and annoying, just like Keigo he thought with a shudder. Well if he tries to hug me like he does ill deal with him in the same way. The thought of decking the loud blonde to shut him up cheered him up some, so he continued to follow him down the street with a not so deep scowl.

They hadn't been walking long Naruto keeping up a constant chatter, pointing places out as they passed them when he fell silent for a whole minute. This put Ichigo on slight alert wondering if there was something wrong, he became alarmed when the boy turned to him with narrowed eyes and asked

"So… tell me Ichigo, how did you get your hair so orange?"

"I didn't do anything, its natural!" that's what he wanted to know? Well he does seem to like orange judging by that out fit anyway.

"Aww man! I was hoping to get some of my hair like that that would have been awesome!" complained the blonde

"Having orange hair isn't that great you know" Ichigo said. This only caused Naruto to look at him as if he were crazy

"But orange is the best colour ever!"

"You know you're kinda obsessed right?"

"Whatever, were at my place now"

They were stood in front of a ramshackle looking building with two floors. Ichigo followed Naruto up the stairs to the first floor and to a faded green door that he then opened and led Ichigo through. They slipped off their shoes by the door in the small hall way and then made their way into the apartment. It was quite small and all open plan, there was a bed in the far corner by the window a two setter sofa and then a kitchenette with a table and one chair. The only separate room in the place was for the bathroom and also another door that when asked about Naruto showed him that it led to a kind of balcony. Looks more like a fenced in plank to me the orange head thought.

"So I don't reckon you'll fit on the couch so you can have the bed if you like or I have bed roll for the floor"

"Ill be fine on the floor thank you, you can keep your bed"

Just then there came a tap at the window they both looked around not surprised at the noise but they were surprised at who was standing there. It was Toushiro, he tapped again glaring at them when neither moved to let him in and were just staring. This snapped Naruto put of it and he rushed over the open the window. The small captain then hopped inside as soon as there was room and faced Ichigo.

In his mind he was annoyed as it was obvious Kurosaki hadn't noticed he was in his spirit form and if he had he hadn't connected the dots. Idiot.

"Toushiro, what are you doing here?" Ichigo asked him.

"Captain Hitsuguya! And I came to tell you that the people here can see us in our spirit form as you obviously haven't noticed yet. I'm going to collect the other two and leave our gigai with Hokage, if you have t leave your body remember to leave it some where safe, I'll see you at the training grounds tomorrow" with that said he turned and leaped back out of the window.

They both stared after him of a minute before Naruto turned to Ichigo with a freaked out look and asked

"Did he say leave your body?"

Great thanks captain!

"Umm yea, it's nothing to be alarmed about though it's normal for me"

"Eh! How can that be normal?" Naruto screeched back if he wasn't in his body that would make him a ghost right? No way am I living with a ghost!

"calm down, its how I fight I have a spirit form, were called soul reapers, Ishida, Chad and Orihime are human with spirit powers though" Ichigo this explanation would be enough for the blonde he really didn't want to go into detail about it all.

"So your not a ghost?" he asked the soul reaper.

"No I'm not a ghost, it'll make more sense tomorrow when our abilities are tested" please shut up now.

"Oh well ok then" then Naruto smiled and forgot his worries, leaving Ichigo to wonder if he was bipolar or something.

The group then spent the rest of the day being showed around the village by their new friends, mostly getting along others however were secretly plotting murder or suicide. Either way they were all looking forward to tomorrow.

Finally got it finished! Sorry again it took so long, next update shall be a lot sooner I promise.
