On the other side of the Senkai Gate, a petite woman was waiting for a certain substitute Shinigami to arrive. This young looking woman stands at roughly 150cm in height. Her silken raven hair was kept semi-short save for two white braids that ended in small gold rings near her hips. Her midnight blue eyes were set upon the Gate waiting for the newest member of the Gotei 13. Her face had a noble look about it, angles that while not soft, weren't hard enough to mar her natural beauty, She looked as if she was scowling, or at the very least, thinking hard about some odd subject relating to her and her duties. She wore clothing that resembled something an unarmored samurai would wear in the warring states era. From the ground up she appeared to be wearing a pair of Black tai-chi slippers, white stockings, black hamaka, a yellow kimono belt with a zanpaktou, slightly longer than a wakazashi resting in it at the small of her back, an outer black kimono overlaying a white inner kimono, Arm socks that went up to the top of both of her toned arms, and finally, upon her shoulders rested a sleeveless cloak that could only belong to a Captain of the Gotei 13, with the katakana symbol for the number two emblazoned within a diamond shape onto the back of the cloak. She is none other than Soi Fong, Captain of the second squad and Commander of Sereitei's Onmitsukido unit.

Now, under normal circumstances, Soi Fong obeys orders and executes them without question. Today however, her mind was trying to wrap around the idea of why the Sotaicho of all 13 squads, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, ordered her of all people to escort a ryoka to the Captains' meeting room. Granted, she would never voice such a thought, but orders are orders. 'I understand that Kurosaki helped out Sereitei when we went to war with Aizen, but Central 46 deciding to give him permission to live in here, and even join the Gotei 13 ranks? And of all people, why send me? Surely he would be better welcomed by Abari-dono or Kuchiki-dono…' Soi Fong lightly chewed her lower lip, deep in thought, but not enough to distract her from her mission. 'Maybe some light will be shed on the subject when Yamamoto-Sotaicho speaks to Kurosaki….' She ponders upon this for a while longer before shaking away such thoughts and focuses on waiting for the 'hero' of the Winter War.

Flashback to a Central 46 meeting that took place 10 days ago; Concerning Ichigo Kurosaki's relationship with Sereitei and the Gotei 13

An elderly noble with a balding head of silver hair and a very bushy mustache speaks among his fellow noblemen with an air of regality. "Now that the new members of Central 46 have gathered, the meeting has now come to order. Our main concern and discussion today, is on the subject of the substitute Shinigami; Ichigo Kurosaki. The floor is now open to anyone who wishes to speak either on his behalf to join the Gotei 13, or to restrict him from said joining."

The first to stand and speak is another elderly noble, this one with a short cut beard and swept back silver and black hair. "As much as we are indebted to Kurosaki for helping us in the Winter War, he has displayed powers that can only be classified as those of a hollow." Murmurs spread across the room, but this man continues to speak through them. "The last time Central 46 encountered beings with similar powers to Kurosaki's; they were sentenced to death, but escaped before the sentence could be carried out. The last thing Sereitei needs, is a hollow hybrid running amuck within the Gotei 13's walls, especially one as powerful as Kurosaki. We do not know if the hollow within him will ever escape, and we do not want to take that chance." With his opinion stated, he returns to his seated position.

A younger man, with sandy blond hair tied back in a neat ponytail and a slightly scruffy beard stood up next. "I understand that the last central 46 did order people with a similar condition to Kurosaki's to death, but one also had to remember; during that time, Aizen was a lieutenant, in order to become at least a lieutenant in the Gotei 13, he had to display his zanpaktou's Shikai, which as everyone now knows, was able to bend things to Aizen's will. The majority, if not all of the decisions made by the old Central 46, while meaning no disrespect to them, were most likely influenced by Aizen. Kurosaki has proven himself time and time again that he means no harm to the Sereitei or to its people."

The young man takes a breath and looks to his fellow council members, who have been paying attention to him the whole time. "He has done nothing to protect us in our times of need, from the very first moment he stepped foot into Sereitei, despite the odds being stacked against him, and unjust laws being enforced, He upheld what shinigami should stand for: Protecting innocent souls, no matter the cost. Yes he originally obtained his powers illegally through Kuchiki Rukia-dono, but it was in order to stop a hollow from becoming more powerful and harming more innocent people. When Aizen revealed his plan, despite being in a weakened state, Kurosaki fought alongside the Gotei 13 against Aizen. Kurosaki, while appearing to be in the wrong about a lot of things, always ended up proving himself to be on the right path. I believe that is more than enough to prove he is worthy of joining the ranks of those that protect us." With this, he sits down and stares into empty space 'I did what I could for you Ichigo; the rest is up to the other councilors.'

Another older noble with thinning short brown hair and a goatee stands next. "There are parts from both arguments so far that I agree with. I agree that Kurosaki is a dangerous individual, but I also believe such danger can be harnessed into power for the Gotei 13 to use within its ranks. We have heard of what his bankai does and looks like. I suggest, put him under the Gotei 13's second squad. There his skills can be better honed, and constant surveillance can be kept upon him at all times. No offense to Omaeda-san, but I believe with how much power Kurosaki has, he is at least lieutenant level and should be placed as such within its ranks. His monstrous strength can be used as a decoy for the real Onmitsukido members to do their work. No doubt, with enough training, his skills will be on par with any other shinigami of his caliber. I say, let the boy join us, but keep a leash on him." He then sat down and an uncomfortable 5 minutes passed before anyone spoke above a whisper

The first elderly man who spoke stood up, "After hearing the arguments, the elder council has made its decision: Kurosaki will be allowed to Join the Gotei 13, but only if he is voted in by the majority of the squad captains. If he makes it in, he will then be put to the test against Lieutenant Omaeda for the second seat position within the Second Squad. If he fails, he will be placed at the bottom of the food chain and work his way up like everyone before him did. Yamamoto-san! His hollow powers are to be restricted to being used only in a dire moment, any other time will be inexcusable and he will be punished for it. Understood?" He turns to look at the strongest and oldest shinigami to date.

"It is as you order; Kurosaki Ichigo will be put to the test." Yamamoto nods his scarred head and excuses himself from the meeting room without opening his wrinkled eyes. "Soi Fong!" She appears within moments of being called.

"Hai! Yamamoto-Sotaicho!" Soi Fong kneels before the Captain-Commander and patiently waits for her orders.

"When Kurosaki is due to arrive in Sereitei, I want you to escort him to the Captain's meeting room. He has much to discuss with the Gotei 13. You will receive further orders once the meeting is adjourned."

With no hesitation, Soi Fong nods her head in affirmation "Hai Sotaicho, it will be done." Her thought process however, was kicking into overdrive.

End Flashback

'Damn that Kurosaki, when is he going to get here?" after more than fifteen minutes of waiting, Soi Fong was starting to get agitated. One, because it was taking away from her time to train her squad, and two, she was sure Omaeda was goofing off and stuffing his face instead of doing his paperwork.

At that moment, her thin wearing patience paid off. Ichigo stepped through the gate in full shinigami garb, with Zangetsu resting on his back and his duffel bag in his hand.

"You're late Kurosaki!" Just because Yamamoto-Sotaicho told her to escort Kurosaki, it doesn't mean she had to be nice to him. She rarely did nice unless Yoruichi-Sama was involved.

"Soi Fong? What are you doing here? I thought Renji or Rukia would have been here to greet me." Ichigo says this as he looks around for the tall redhead and the other short shinigami, completely ignoring her 'late' comment.

Not letting her emotions or thoughts rise to the surface, Soi Fong hardens her gaze towards Ichigo. "Yamamoto-Sotaicho ordered me to escort you to the Captains meeting room, anyone else is unnecessary. Follow me." Without another word, not giving Ichigo a chance to respond, Soi Fong turned on her heel and used shunpo to make the escort as quick as possible. Ichigo, albeit a bit surprised by her sudden departure and perturbed by her brash attitude, soon followed suit and followed her to the inner court of the Gotei 13.

Not a word passed between the two shinigami as they traveled faster than the eye could see. Soi Fong was focused on getting Ichigo out of her hair as soon as possible, and Ichigo was wondering what the old Sotaicho wanted with him so soon. He was also wondering why Soi Fong acted so cold towards him. Sure, they crossed swords on more than one occasion, but to Ichigo, it was in the past and they should at least try to be friendly with one another. To top it off, Ichigo wasn't a total brick when it came to women, He knew a beauty when he saw one, and much to his chagrin, his inner hollow Hichigo liked to point out such things.

"Hahaha! Check out the body on her! King, you'd love to see more of her skin wouldn't ya!" Hichigo loved to mess with his shinigami half; he was after all, Ichigo's darker side and always knew what Ichigo liked, and proudly voiced it, no matter how much it pissed Ichigo off. "This one would be a challenge to tame in the sack!" He started cackling and rambling off ideas of what he would like to do with and to the petite Captain.

'Shut up! No one wants to hear that kind of stuff!' Despite yelling at his hollow, Ichigo knew that it had a point. Soi Fong is, with no doubt attractive, but the way he saw it at the moment, was that he just saw her as an attractive woman and a strong fighter, no romantic feelings or anything similar to that. He started to blush slightly while following the subject that his hollow decided to talk about. Reasons for this, his hollow, while ignoring Ichigo's order to shut up, was VERY descriptive in what he wanted to do with said captain, and with him following right behind her, it was hard not to notice her lithe form. Needless to say, Ichigo's hollow was attempting to embarrass him and was thoroughly succeeding.

"Say whatever you want king, it totally explains why you're staring at her ass!" Hichigo was having trouble containing his mirth at how flustered Ichigo was getting.

Ichigo visibly flinched at this and chose then to ignore his now cackling hollow while vowing to someday get even with him, and shifted his eyes from Soi Fong's rear, and instead focused on their destination.

During Ichigo's inner battle, Soi Fong was having one of her own. Her mind however, was wondering if she could kill the young man behind her and get away with it. 'How dare he stare at me like that! What the hell is he thinking?' Yes, she had noticed the movement of Ichigo's eyes, which roaming up and down her body, being the leader of the Onmitsukido unit had those kinds of advantages. She chose however not to voice this. 'If he tries anything, the only thing that he will be touching of mine is Suzumebachi.'

At this, Suzumebachi decided to toss her two cents into the mental battle that her master was having with herself. 'You know, having a guy looking at you isn't so bad. It is better than having Omaeda staring at you like he usually does.'

Soi Fong suppressed a very big shudder at this statement 'What's your point Suzumebachi? Omaeda or not, I shouldn't be stared at like I'm a piece of meat.'

Suzumebachi giggled lightly 'My points are, at least this Kurosaki guy is better looking than Omaeda, so you really shouldn't mind him looking at you, and at least he's trying to be a gentleman, I know you also noticed him flinching and blushing. It's adorable how he's arguing with himself over just looking at you.'

'I can NOT believe I am having this conversation with you.' Soi Fong furrowed her brow slightly and picked up her pace, forcing Ichigo to as well.

'It's better than arguing with your-self and thinking about killing the poor boy.' Suzumebachi had a point there, though Soi Fong chose not to admit it.

Within moments of ending their mental bouts, they arrived at the main doors of the Captain's meeting room. "Kurosaki, I suggest if you value your life, that you hold your tongue unless you are asked to speak in here." Soi Fong glanced back at Ichigo and saw him nod in acknowledgement. "Good, let us get in there before we are later than we already are." She then opened one of the doors and they both stepped inside.

All the other Captains were in their usual spots, Renji was standing in the spot for squad 5 wearing the Captain's Cloak for that squad. While squad 3 and 9 had no captains to fill, so the spots were left empty for the time being. Soi Fong glided to where she usually stood and waited for Yamamoto-Sotaicho to begin the meeting.

I think this chapter is a little longer than the last one. I hope I kept Ichigo, Soi Fong, and their inner 'friends' close to canon. Took me a couple days to bring it about, and I think it's good to end this chapter on a bit of a cliffy. I look forward to everyone's reviews! Don't forget to tell others about this story! Till next time!
