Artemis: HIYA! My name is Artemis.

Vervada: We know that.

Artemis: RIGHT! So, we're making a Bleach Fanfic here.

Vervada: Aletta is not going to talk with us, but she told me to give the disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: It's a fanfic, idiots. If it was mine, I wouldn't call it a fanfic.

Artemis: AND NOW TO BEGIN!

"AVA!" Vice-Captain Abarai Renji yelled. I whipped around at the sound of my name, remembering to bow and fell to my knees, lowering my head to the ground. "You are being assigned to the human world. Go report to Captain Kuchiki." I nodded and nearly tripped out of the room as I got off my knees and ran to the Captain's room.

"Ava. Here is your Hell Butterfly. No doubt Abarai has told you what it's for." Captain said. I nodded, and a black butterfly came to my shoulder.

"Captain, where am I being assigned?" I asked tenatively

"Karakura Town, Japan. Report to Kurumadani. You are dismissed." He said, and I turned to head for the gate to the real world.

Karakura Town is a strange place to be in, after spending nearly a century in Rukongai and a decade in Serietet. I didn't set out to find this Kuruma-something person right away. No, I wandered the area, doing a little shopping in the local stores, with my gigai body, of course. I found all the local parks and everything else that my own hometown had before I died. Coming to this town was probably the closest thing I'd get to returning to the life I have before I died. I left my gigai to find a place to sleep for my stay here and used my Soul Reaper abilities to jump over the buildings to get a bird's eye view of the area. It was still daytime, but the view was beautiful. I landed on the branches of a tree, laying back in the leaves.

I could've laid there for a few days if I didn't sense a Hollow in the area. I jumped through the branches after being up there a few hours and found the Hollow. It looked vaguely feline, with a long tail swinging and breaking everything in its path and its white mask boken at its jaw, giving it the appearance of being simply a skull. I unsheathed my Zanpukuto and jumped into the fight. But before I could get into the fight, some strawberry-haired guy cut in with his huge Zanpakuto slicing down the Hollow's back. Before the fight even began, the Hollow dissolved into the air.

"Kurumadani, yo!" I yelled to the spiky-haired guy. He turned and gave me a confused look, looking around him as if expecting someone else to respond. Then he noticed me, obviously looking at him.

"Who's that?" He asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Vervada: Of course, you crazed Bleach fans know who it really is.

Artemis: But don't spoil it for those that actually don't know what Bleach is, beside the cleaning stuff...

Vervada: And I would personally like to apoligize, Aletta has a thing for A-names, so alot of her characters end up with names starting with A.

Aletta: Your name doesn't start with an A.

Vervada: Well aren't I special. But still, just to warn you, many new characters can be identified by whether or not they start with A.

Aletta: NOT TRUE!

Artemis: Just drop it, both of you. Of course, there is more to come.

Aletta: I kinda haven't written this to fit a certain time span, or any of them really, in the manga or anime series. I've just kinda used the general idea and characters of Bleach in the fanfic. REVIEW, and CHECK OUT MY OTHER STORY. K, I'm done.
