I Just Been Bleached (Bleach Fanfiction)

Chapter 16: Incognito

A/N: Happy new year everyone!

I couldn't believe it worked.

Not that I was looking a gift horse in the mouth as my mother would say,  I just couldn't believe a fake ID really worked in a high-security place such as the Soul Society.

Yet, here I was, inside the Soul Society.

The academy was the first place I had the pleasure of passing. The school sprawled over several miles long, with different culturally designed buildings.

It was beautiful, and that wasn't even enough to describe such a wonderful place.

Unfortunately, I didn't see much since I was stuck on the outskirts, but it still felt surreal. Once I made it passed the main gates, it was pretty easy to find the thirteen divisions.

The only problem was, I had no idea which of the 13 court divisions I was currently in. Reading a map wasn't really my strongest trait, I was sure I was heading the right direction, but each time I would end up at dead end.

I pulled out my phone again, and went over the map. This time I took in a better overview of my location and that printed on the map. If I was correct, I somewhere between the tenth and ninth division.

Thankfully, I hadn't draw any attention to myself, it seems if you walk around like you belong no one questions you.  Well that and I guess my acting skills wasn't too shabby as well.

"You there!" I heard a voice call from behind.

Once again, Whitney, you tooted your horn too soon.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to turn around, if I did anything out the ordinary, it could cause me trouble.

The voice belongs to a male soul reaper, fairly taller than I. His hair was swept back with a white band across his forehead. I noticed the insignia sewn on his upper garment belong to that of the tenth division.

"Who are you?" He stood fully upwards, his presence alone emitting an air of authority.

I stood up straight, fearing any wrong movement could cause any doubts. "Twenty seater Uzumaki of the sixth division sir!"

Totally a ripped off from Naruto, but hey what could I say it was one of favorite animes growing up.

He looked me up and down, before scratching his beard and taking a look of intense concentration, as if he was trying to figure out what to say.

"What's a sixth division member doing over here by the tenth division's barracks? " he points out.

"I was on my way back to the sixth division," I say in dread, mentally cringing as his face drew into a deeper frown.

"Your division is back the opposite way, why are you all the way over here?"

Think. Think. Think.

"I was admiring the scenery, and got lost in time," I mange to say, trying to think of a convincing lie. "I'm a recent graduate, so I apologize for wondering too long."

He stared at me for a while, not even mumbling a word, and I begin to contemplate rather or not I should attack him. I'm almost sure I can get the ups on him before he could call for back-up.

"I see," he finally says. "Sorry about the third degree, can't be too careful these days."

"No worries, I completely understand. " I couldn't help but feel a since of pride that my lie actually worked.

"I'm seven seater Takezoe, if you ever need anything just ask."

"Thanks, I'll remember that."

I turned to leave hoping that was the end of that conversation, but I felt his hand grasp my shoulder.
