24 - TARDIS Oddities

With some fill-ins from Byakuya, Kyoraku was finally convinced of Ichigo's time travel and concluded out he got to the time period he was in now.

"The Oken clothing seems to be the culprit. You must not have done it right on your journey to your destination."

"How is that?" Ichigo asked, looking at the white clothing.

"The Oken clothing helps shield you from the 72 layers between Seireitei and the Zero Division home where the Soul King lies. The Zero Division is in another dimension... it's quite possible that not only did you travel through time, you must have somehow moved off course and are possibly in another dimension."

"So... all this isn't even real?"

"No, it's real. It's just different from what may be... We need to get you back to the right place and time. Here, you have defeated the Sternritter and Seireitei has been at peace with any other enemies for 100 years. If you were supposed to do the same in your world, then as of right now, in this time, if you went to your world, I have a feeling there would either be no Seireitei or worse, no Soul Society at all."

"If that were the case, then that would collapse the very worlds." Byakuya said with a frown.

Ichigo looked between the two.

"But what about me? If I'm from that world, won't I vanish or something?"

"Not necessarily... We will need to speak with Squad 12 about this matter immediately. Captain Kuchiki, please take him there so that a thorough study can be done. If we don't get him back, his world may collapse."

Ichigo was a little afraid but Byakuya grabbed his arm and dragged him away.

********************

Ichigo stared at the person who was sitting in the chair. She stared at him as he stared at her, her fuchsia hair and strangely familiar green and white hat startling him.

"Um... who are you?"

"I could say the same."

"Do you even work here?"

"Tachuri-chan, please get out of daddy's seat."

Ichigo looked up as Urahara came from the back and he blinked.

"Kurosaki? You're back..."

"This is not our Captain Kurosaki." Byakuya said. "The Head Captain believes that he was thrown off course somehow and ended up in our time and space."

"You mean... you've traveled through time again, Ichigo?"

"Seems so... the Head Captain seems to think I may have come to a different universe as well. He said that you might be able to help me out because if I disappear from my universe then my world could collapse because I didn't stop the Sternritter. And how did you get back here? Who is that?"

Urahara blinked but smiled that mischievous smile Ichigo remembered.

"First, Mayuri went with you on your mission. I'm not really in a seated position but the Head Captain knew that Soul Society couldn't be without someone to look after the Research and Development Center. A fiasco happened last time and he decided that I could be contacted and brought back through his authority only on Mayuri's leaves. Second, this is my daughter, Tachuri."

"Wait, is this that Ichigo you told me about? The one who defeated Aizen and then the Quincies?" the younger girl said, looking at Urahara.

"Yes, that's him."
