Chapter One

The Coming

The heavy set sun arose in the near background. Light slowly spread throughout the Soul Society. Creamy colors mixed in with one another showing the sky's true beauty. The wind brought a cool deep icy wind with it. The coldness brought shivers down the backs of Captains and Lieutenants.

Soon, small dark clouds started to smash together in the sky creating one huge grey sky. Recoiling clouds went into small circles, letting the thick snow fall into the Soul Society. What sudden strange weather they had received. They never got snow since they were protected by a special Kido wall. What was happening in their land of peace?

Was Aizen here to once again cause trouble in their promise land? Or was there a new rebellion to start with more of Yamamoto's Captains? The Soul Reapers only hoped it was strange weather. They weren't sure how much damage they could take. The Bount had caused much damage as well. They also hurt many of their fellow Soul Reapers.

"What bizarre weather we are having" Captain Ukitake said to Lieutenant Shuuhei.

"Uh, yes Captain Ukitake. I agree. We haven't had this kind of weather since they put up the Kido wall"

Shuuhei was delivering paperwork for his squad when he so happened to get caught in a conversation with Jushiro Ukitake, Captain of Squad 13. He didn't mean to get caught up in all the talking but he couldn't be rude to a captain.

"I don't mean to hold you up Shuuhei. By all means, go back to your squad. You are now the new person in charge now. You must have a lot of things on your plate" Ukitake gave a weak smile.

"Thank you, sir" Shuuhei bowed and walked off with a stack full of papers.

Hisagi Shuuhei had been super busy since his captain; Captain Tosen Kaname joined Captains Azien and Gin in their rebellion. Lieutenant Shuuhei walked back slowly to the central of the Seireitei. He rested at a bench. He had been tired from working way too hard, and being tasked into one of Kurosaki's missions. He just wanted a small break. Maybe five minutes.

But then soon the snow hit his face. He looked up at the sky and held his hands up. All Soul Reapers had stopped and held their hands up to catch the snow in their hands. Snow? It can't be.

Shuuhei looked back in front of him. There stood a beautiful woman who seemed to in-grace the creamy colors of the sky. She had long black silky hair that flowed gracefully in the cool wind. She had white butter milk skin and solid blue eyes to make her features come to life. She wore an old fashion Kimono. It had a red and black flower pattern. She held something…Shuuhei squinted his eyes to get a better look. A sword!

The handle of the sword was a pasty white with silver out linings on the bars. The blade was iron, or so it looked. The Sword was plunged into the ground.

"Soul Reapers of the Soul Society! My name is Rin Kyokou! Former Captain of squad 1! I've come back to take back my place! In order to do that I'm going to freeze your sorry asses!" her voice had no sense of fear.

The ground where her sword laid in the ground began to glow. Shuuhei was now onto his feet, and his sword already out. He had no time to move. He felt his entire body freeze in a sudden coldness. He wanted so bad to move but he was frozen in…no not ice. Something else. Something way stronger then ice. Something similar to ice, but not quite.

Shuuhei could still see through the block of ice he was deep under. He saw the beautiful woman walk toward him. She smirked at the work she had done and moved on past him. He couldn't see anything but the thick snow that fell harder now. He in return felt his own body freeze from the inside and out, and something in him was changing. Something in his body and mind.

~Land of the Living~

The final bell to Karakura High School rang. All the kids rushed out of their classes and went into the court yard. Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Uryu Ishida, and Yasutora Sado (Chad) all walked home together. They planned to study at Ichigo's house. Ichigo wasn't too thrilled of the idea but he needed the extra studying.

"…Can you believe it?" Orihime had been describing her crazy dream to them. Ichigo couldn't help but half listen to her. His mind was on something different. Something a little more…interesting. His eyes shifted toward Rukia. She seemed to be like him, half-listening.

"Snow princess? That's really something, Orihime" Uryu said, lifting his glasses further on his nose.

"I'm serious! She was really pretty! And she for some reason froze Hisagi! I thought it was real at first but then I realized I was just watching what was going on! I was so scared!" Orihime did a small shiver then skipped ahead. "But I want to make sure everyone in the Soul Society is okay! That dream just felt so real!"

Ichigo stopped in front his house with everyone else. A small breeze lifted throughout the street. Hmmm, what a strange breeze, he thought. His attention was suddenly brought toward Rukia's phone. It didn't make a noise but he noticed that she had been playing on it since school had started.

"Is everything okay?" he asked her. Her light lavender eyes shifted from her phone toward Ichigo. He could picture cherry blossoms falling from nowhere and gently blowing across her face, making her seem gentler.

"No. Not that I can figure out" Ichigo was brought back from his small gaze. "I'm having a hard time contacting the Soul Society. Every time I tried calling I would go straight toward their emergency inbox" she sighed and looked back at her phone.

"It's the Snow Princess!" Orihime cried. "She has taken over the Seireitei! We must go help them!" Orihime rushed to Ichigo and looked at him with pleading eyes.

Ichigo quickly looked away knowing that he would give in to her sad puppy dog eyes. Before he could agree Rukia spoke.

"No" everyone looked at her. "I'll go. I'm worried, and I'll come back and tell you guys what's going on"

"But it's dangerous!" Orihime yelled. "You're gonna die!" she quickly covered her mouth. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that"

"If I see that something bad has happened then I shall return here. I promise"

Rukia swallowed a Mob soul, and her Soul Reaper form popped out of her Gigai. She took out her sword and stabbed it in thin air. A gate that led straight to the Seireitei stood right in front of her.

"Be careful, okay?" Ichigo said to her. Rukia looked back at him and smiled. She walked into the gate and it soon closed behind her.

"Orihime, you really shouldn't relay too much on your dreams. It was just a weird coincidence that the Soul Society was having trouble" Chad said, patting Orihime's back. All she did was nod.

What was really happening up there, Ichigo thought. Worried and uneasiness washed over Ichigo like hard rain falling. He should have gone with her to the Soul Society. Even if it wasn't serious. He just had to know if she was okay!

"Uryu, do you sense anything of the abnormal right now?" Orihime asked, surely getting back to her dream. Uryu looked at her strangely but then closed his eyes.

"No, but the only strange thing I feel right now is the sudden climate change"

"Exactly!" she cried. "Don't you guys get it? Snow Princess, and the sudden coldness in the weather?"

"Orihime! That's enough!" Ichigo said, in frustration. He didn't mean to yell at her, but enough was enough. There was no "Snow Princess" nor was anything bad going to happen. Everyone just needed to cool their heads.
