(Y/n) didn't like the current situation. Not only did they fail to land directly in the Seireitei, but they got into a fight and were found by a Captain level shinigami. By extension that means they've been found out by the entirety of the Soul Society.

Yoruichi: They can't fight him. We must avoid that worst possible scenario!

(Y/N): I'm with you on that. We gotta find another way in.

Back with Jidanbo and Ichigo, Jidanbo was struggling to keep the gate open but rushing in reckless would be met with a direct encounter with Gin.

Jidanbo: Ugh I lost! Opening the gate is what is expected of a gatekeeper who has lost!

Gin: What are you saying? A gatekeeper who loses isn't opening any gates. When a gatekeeper loses it means"death".

Ichigo was furious about Gin's comment and rushed in to attack him. Gin responded with a block.

Yoruichi: I-Ichigo! What the hell are you doing?!

Ichigo: That's my line! *turns to Gin* You! fox face! Anyone who attacks an unarmed guy will have to face me!

Gin: Oh! You're a funny kid. You're not scared of me?

Ichigo: Not at all!

Yoruichi: Hey! Stop it Ichigo! We have to retreat for now!

Gin was surprised by the name.

Gin: So you're Ichigo Kurosaki?

Ichigo: You know about me?

Gin: Oh, just as I thought.

Just then Gin backed off and started walking back. This left the group confused.

Ichigo: Huh?! Hey! Where are you going?! Hey wait!

Gin: All the more reason why I can't let you pass.

Ichigo: Why are you standing so far back? Are you going to throw that shortsword?

Gin: It's not a short sword. This is my Zanpakuto, you see.

Shoot him dead, Shinso!

(Y/N) saw Gin's zanpakuto start to glow, and immediately warned Ichigo. They couldn't take any chances with a captain.

(Y/N): Ichigo, block!

Thankfully, Ichigo caught the warning in time as the blade on Gin's zanpakuto extended at incredible speed. Ichigo was able to block the attack, but unfortunately the force of the attack push Ichigo back, knocking him into Jidanbo who was holding the gate. As Jindanbo lost his grip on the gate, Gin took the time to mock the group before the gate closed completely.

Gin: Bye bye~

*SLAM*

(Y/N) fell to the floor relief, not wanting to unnecessarily fight a captain. Was he scared? Sure, fighting any and everything wasn't a smart idea but who knows. Maybe the combined strength of Ichigo and himself was enough to take on at least one. (Y/N) was snapped out of his thoughts.

Jindanbo: Sorry the gate closed because of me. No, your opponent was Gin Ichimaru. It couldn't be helped. Be glad that you weren't hurt.

Ichigo: Inoue

Orihime: Huh?

Ichigo: Take care of him.

Orihime: Okay.

After the conflict, many people started coming out hiding.

Uryu: Who are they? They were hiding until now.

(Y/N): Why? They were afraid of us.

Yoruichi: Souls who come illegitimately to the Soul Society without the aid of Soul Reapers are called Ryoka, and they are said to be the cause of all kinds of calamities.

Ichigo: They think we are enemies?

Village elder: I am the elder of the Rukon District. I witnessed everything that happened just now. We want to welcome you as Jindanbo's saviors. There are a lot of arrogant Soul Reapers, but Jidanbo is a native of the Rukon District. And he's always been kind to us. You faced Gin Ichimaru for Jidanbo. That's why you must be a good person.

(Timeskip)

Orihime, with the help of the village elders, was able to reattach Jindanbo's arm.The gang decided to take shelter in the home of the village elder, devising a plan to get into the gates of the Seretei. After a few minutes of talking, Yoruichi seemed to come up with an idea.

Yoruichi: Lord Elder, do you know Kukaku Shiba?

Elder: W-What?!

Yoruichi: I understand she constantly changes residences.

Elder: I haven't been able to find out where she lives now. You're not planning to go through the wall with that!

*Ba dum* *Ba dum*

(Y/N): What's that noise?

Uryu: What is it?

Just then, a man riding a boar came flying through the door. He had chin length hair and wore a vest, scarf, bandanna and pair of goggles.

Ichigo: W-Who is this guy? A Wild boar?! What's a wild boar doing here?!

???: Ouch! Darn... Thrown again by my Bonnie. Hey! Been a long time, Old Man.

Elder: Ganju, what are you doing here?! Go home!

Ganju: Some greeting! I come to visit after a long time and I get that? Your guests are shocked. Oh What do we have here? What are dirty Shinigamis doing here?

(Y/N): Nice to meet you?

(Y/N) wasn't sure how to react to the new person who just entered the room. Ichigo, however, wasn't having any of it.

Ichigo: What of it?

Ganju: Not "what?"! I asked what two dirty Shinigamis are doing here Huh? Huh?! Say something!

(Y/N) decided to ignore the comment while Ichigo got into a argument. He had no reason to involve himself into any problems. Or at least that was what he wanted to do until Ichigo and Ganju went hurling through the door in a fight.

The argument evolved into a fist fight. Before anything can escalate, one of Ganju's goon's alerted Ganju.

Goon: It's bad, Big Brother! It's nine already!

Ganju: What?! For real? Come, Bonnie!

Ichigo: Huh?

Ganju's boar, Bonnie, ran to Ganju's side (Not without stepping on Ichigo of course) and Ganju mounted on top of him.

Ganju: Hey Dandelion! We'll settle this for sure tomorrow! So you just wait there nicely until then! Now don't you go floating away like cotton! Let's go, everyone!

And with that, Ganju took off with his gang.

(Y/N): Those were some... "interesting" individuals to say the least. Alright Ichigo, I hope you had your fun because now we have to focus on what we really came here for.

Ichigo: Yea yea...

(Timeskip)

After spending the night at the Elder's house, the crew decided to spend the next day looking for Kukaku Shiba, their only hope of getting through the Seireitei's gate.

Uryu: According to the map the Elder gave us, it's supposed to be around here.

(Y/N): Kukaku Shiba probably wants to keep their identity a secret, that's why they lives in a place like this.

Yoruichi: Unfortunately, that is not the case. It's just that person's nature and personal preference. Don't worry. This person moves around quite a bit, but their house is always built the same way. Once I see it, I'll recognize it.

Chad: Once you see it, huh?

Yoruichi: Yes, yes. Oh, I see it! There it is.

You swiftly understood why Yoruichi thought the building would be recognizable.



Ichigo: "Wants to keep his identity a secret?" That's a lie! He's probably not allowed to live in town because he builds houses like that!

(Y/N): That's gotta be it!

Yoruichi: Hmm. This time, they went with human arms holding the banner. That's a nice touch.

The gang approached the house but were stopped by two guards, however they quickly allowed the group through the moment they saw Yoruichi. The rescue team walked into the house and down a very long staircase. Opening the doors to Kukaku's room, Yoruichi immediately greeted the individual.



Yoruichi: Master Kukaku!

Kukaku: Hey, it's been a while, Yoruichi.

Everyone (except (Y/N) and Yoruichi): K-Kukaku is A Woman?!

Yoruichi: I never said Kukaku was a man.

(Y/N): You guys have to start asking for genders instead of assuming.

Kukaku: Huh? Who are those kids?

Yoruichi: Actually, Kukaku, I have a favor to ask of you.

Kukaku: That's usually the case when you come to visit. Is it a difficult problem?

Yoruichi: Most likely.

Kukaku: It's been a long time since we've talked like this. All right. Tell me, I love difficult things.

Yoruichi decided to give Kukaku a rundown on the situation that led to them coming to her.

Kukaku: I see. I get the picture. All right, I'll take on the job.

Yoruichi: Really?

Kukaku: Yeah. If Urahara's involved, I can't refuse even if I wanted to. However, while I trust you I don't trust those kids. I'll include an underling to keep an eye on them.

Yoruichi: An underling?

Kukaku: Yeah. But he's actually my kid brother. He's still a brat and not that useful. Hey, are you ready?

???: Oh just a minute.

Kukaku: I'm opening the door, so behave!

The door opened to reveal...

Ganju: Y-Yeah! How do you do? My name is Ganju Shiba! Please be good to me!

...

...

...

Ichigo and Ganju: What?

Kukaku: You guys know each other?

Of course, Ichigo and Ganju broke out in another fight, which Kukaku promptly stopped.

Kukaku: What's with you?! Fighting from the minute you set eyes on each other Don't you know it's dangerous?! You destroyed my house!

Ganju: But Sis-

Kuaku: No excuses! You got any complaints?!

Ganju: Err no!

Ichigo: What's up with that? Both brother and sister. Huh?!

Kukaku: *turns to Ichigo* Hey brat! This is my house! If you have a problem about the way I do things, get outta here!

Ichigo: I-I'm sorry.

(Y/N) made a mental note to not piss off Kukaku.

Kukaku: Everyone, stand!

Everyone: Yes!

Kukaku: Be quiet and follow me!

(Timeskip)

Everyone followed Kukaku to an open room, with the only thing inside being AN ACTUAL CANON.

Uryu: It's huge!

Kukaku: I'll shoot you guys into the Seireitei with this. From the sky.

(Y/N): The sky?!

Kukaku: My name is Kukaku Shiba. I'm the #1 fireworks expert of the Rukon District!

(Y/N) never thought about it, but this might be the best course of action. What are the chances that the Soul Society will see six people and a cat falling from the sky into their base of operations.

(Y/N) for the first time since arriving in the Soul Society, felt confident something was going to go right.

To be continued.
