Ichigo himself doesn't know when, but he found that his life had undergone earth-shaking changes.
When he was a child, although he could see spirit bodies, he didn't cared much about it, he just thought that he was a little special.
Until that day when he met Rukia, and in order to save his sister, he chose to become a shinigami. Since then, one after another happened to him.
First, the friends around him awakened their own special abilities one by one and also became different from ordinary people, and Uryuu revealed his identity as a quincy master.
If it was like how the normal stories develop, he and his friends should team up to maintain the peace and stability of Karakura Town.
But this rhythm was disrupted after Rukia was arrested by the shinigami sent by the Soul Society.
In order to save Rukia, they went to the Soul Society. Although they rescued Rukia, they also witnessed Aizen and group's rebellion, which made it hard for Ichigo and others to calm down during their stay.
Then, Ichigo thought that after returning to the world of living, his life could return to its previous rhythm.
But what he didn't expect was that a case of disappearance of living souls arrived first, and before they could figure out what was going on, the group of people who supposedly were behind this disappeared. However, judging from the final results, this was a good thing.
After that, they continued to live a peaceful life.
Occasionally, some hollows would appear in Karakura Town, and he would use the shinigami substitute badge given to him by Jushiro to act as a substitute shinigami and kill the hollows.
Until one day, when he got up early in the morning, he found that he suddenly had an extra neighbor for no apparent reason.
The neighbor's name was Kasumioji Rurichiyo, she was a little girl with a bad personality and she seemed to be a noble from the Soul Society. She was old-fashioned and self-willed, which made Ichigo feel greatly troubled.
In particular, the other party seemed to be really entangled with him, not only did she chose her house next door to his in the world of living, but even used some means to transfer to his class.
(T.L Note: At least better than Renji, Ikkaku and others who transferred later)
It seemed outrageous that she, who looked just a primary school student, but was able to transfer to a junior high school in the end.
"I don't know when she will return to Soul Society."
Ichigo could only hope that Rurichiyo would get tired of playing in the world of living soon and so she would go back to the Soul Society.
Finally, when school was over and Ichigo was about to go home, he found out that there were a few figures following behind him. As expected, it was Rurichiyo and her two personal guards, Kenzaki Ryusei (commonly referred to as Kenryu) and Enkogawa Rusaburo (commonly called Enryu).
Ichigo couldn't help but speed up his pace, but the speed of the three behind him also increased.
He slowed down, and the three behind him also slowed down following him.
When he looked back, Rurichiyo also turned her head sideways, pretending to look in another direction.
'Damn it, even if you're acting, at least show me better acting skills!' Ichigo slandered inwardly.
Just when he came near his home, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Ichigo's ear, "Hey, so they all are here!"
Ichigo paused, looked up, and saw two figures standing in midair, looking down at him.
"Yoruichi-san!"
Ichigo immediately recognized the speaking figure. It was Yoruichi who led them to the Soul Society earlier and stayed in the Soul Society later. Unexpectedly, she came back at this time.
As for the figure next to Yoruichi, Ichigo also recognized him. It was the captain of Gotei 13's Third Division, and the first shinigami at the captain level they met after they went to Soul Society. In front of White Road Gate, Ichigo also fought against the opponent, of course, he lost badly, and later he learned that this same person had helped Ishida and Orihime.
Besides these, there was not much intersection between him and Mazuru, and naturally just like Yoruichi, Ichigo did not expect that Mazuru would come to the world of living with Yoruichi at this time.
Mazuru and Yoruichi, who stood above Ichigo were naturally discovered by two of Rurichiyo's guards.
"It seems to be the captain of the Third Division!"
"The one next to him also looks familiar... Wait, I remembered, it's Shihouin Yoruichi, the previous head of the Shihouin family!"
The two guards of Rurichiyo talked to each other.
"Ah, it's Yoruichi-sama!" After learning the identity of the dark-skinned woman, Rurichiyo's eyes could not help but brighten. Yoruichi had already left the Soul Society for many years when she was born, but she had heard the stories regarding Yoruichi. She was the previous head of the noble Shihouin family, and also the captain of the Second Division at that time. Rurichiyo knew that she would become the head of the Kasumioji family when she grows up, so she had always admired such a legendary women as Yoruichi.
She was going to meet her idol.
The bodyguard beside her, Kenryu, suddenly pulled her back, "Rurichiyo-sama, you mustn't, the captain of Gotei 13's Third Division suddenly came to the world of living, maybe it is to take you back to the Soul Society!"
Rurichiyo reacted immediately, and could only forcefully suppress the excitement in her heart, and was already prepared to lead her two personal guards to escape from there.
At that moment, Ichigo only felt a blur in front of his eyes.
Mazuru who was originally standing with Yoruichi flashed away, and after Ichigo reacted, he found that Mazuru had blocked the way in front of Rurichiyo and her two followers.
"Kasumioji Rurichiyo!"
Mazuru looked at Rurichiyo and called out her name.
Rurichiyo frowned, and said coldly to Mazuru, "I won't go back to Soul Society with you."
Mazuru said, "I'm sorry but you have to go back with me, Kasumioji's family is in serious trouble right now."
Rurichiyo was taken aback for a moment, and then Mazuru told her what happened at Kasumioji house.
After learning that the retainer Kumoi Gyokaku had secretly been producing forbidden weapons known as Bakkōtō and the entire Kasumioji family was involved in a huge turmoil because of this incident. So she was urgently needed as the head of the family to go back and preside over the overall situation. Rurichiyo hardly thought about it for a while and then made up her mind.
Afterwards, Rurichiyo, who had annoyed Ichigo so much, returned to the Soul Society.
After Rurichiyo left, Mazuru did not return to Soul Society, but followed Yoruichi to a place in Karakura Town.
Here, there was a small grocery store.
But inside the grocery store, there was a huge space hidden.
Looking at the sloppy Urahara Kisuke in a green hat, Mazuru greeted him, "Urahara, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Facing Mazuru, an old friend, Kisuke also looked a little more serious than his normal sloppy look, "I heard from Yoruichi-san that you are specifically looking for me this time for something?"
"That's right, I want you to do me a favor."
