First Steps in a New World

"Ne, Yoru-chan~ lets go grab something sweet, Candy Uncle didn't have anything tasty in his shop to eat at all~" Jasmine sung out to the black cat that was draped over the top of her head.

"Yes, Yes, Little Princess~ We will go get some ice cream." The Cat said back patiently as she pat the top of her head, like comforting a small child, before breaking out in a fit chuckles.

"But you calling Kisuke 'Candy Uncle' was a great touch haha, he couldn't hide the small twitches that happened every time you called him that."

It had been a few hours since she had arrived in the world of bleach and after a rather boring discussion with Urahara and Yoruichi, learning about the situation and who the enemies they may face are, Jasmine wanted to take a walk around the town before leaving for the Soul Society.

Taking Yoruichi along for the ride, she took a step forward and appeared on the roof of a nearby building, pausing briefly to take in the world around her.

With her senses as a Divine Master Realm cultivator she was instantly able to pick up on the difference in the energy around her.

While it was more abundant than the Profound Energy that could be found on Blue Pole Star, it was still much thinner than what she was used to in the Star God Realm.

A good thing that she had noticed after stepping into the Bleach universe was that, after familiarising with Spirit Energy she was able to feel the slow growing connection to her new acquired Zanpaktou and felt that it was only a matter of time before she meets the spirit within.

Even with this exciting development she couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

'Sigh, I had hoped that the power differences between our worlds wouldn't be so wide. From what I had speculated about how strong both Urahara and Yoruichi would be, I thought they would at least be around the beginning stages of the Divine Origin realm, Sigh, from what I can sense they seem to be around 3rd tier Sovereigns.'

Sighing aloud, dropping the playful attitude she had been portraying since arriving in this world, Jasmine questioned the small passenger draped atop her head.

"Hey Yoruichi… Ignoring his Zanpaktou abilities, how far apart in strength do you feel you are from Aizen?"

Hearing Jasmine's question the cat jolted slightly, not expecting such a serious shift in their conversation.

"Strength wise? I am not sure, his Zanpaktou makes it very hard to get an accurate read on his other abilities…

From what Kisuke has told me about the incident one hundred years ago, he was very proficient in the Kido Arts and his Spirit Energy was much thicker than the average Captain while still being a lieutenant."

Pausing momentarily to collect her thoughts before continuing in a slight dejected tone.

"Honestly, since Aizen hasn't come right out in the open and has been operating from the shadows for so long, I don't believe he's as strong as he has portrayed himself as.

Without his Zanpaktou I would put his strength above all other Captains except maybe Ukitake and Kyoraku. But is still below the Captain-Commander, otherwise he would of made his move already."

A heavy silence hung between the two as Jasmine continued to hop from roof to roof through the residential area of Karakura town.

"Hmm…" Jasmine hummed to herself in contemplation before lightening the mood.

"That's a bit of a let down then~ I was hoping for a bit of a challenge after I heard you and Candy Uncle talk about this Aizen guy."

"Geh- Oi! Not everyone is as strong as you are Little Princess." The black cat slapped its' paws against Jasmine's cheeks in protest.

"Haha~ Don't worry about it Yoru-chan, even if I wasn't here to help out you guys are not in the same dire situation that you were in before joining the Group Chat. I'm sure the others would also be around to offer any help you might need in the future, we're all friends after all."

Hearing Jasmine trying reassure her, the black cat slumped down in acceptance.

"Sigh, I know... Ahh~ I'm being comforted by a little girl... So embarrassing~

They fell back into a comfortable silence as Jasmine continued explore the town, coming to a stop atop an office building that overlooked a nearby park. Taking the cat off her head and placing it in her lap as she sat on the edge of the building's roof.

"Ne Yoru-chan, you and Candy Uncle talked about this Aizen guy having some lackeys right, that one guy that sounded like a backstabber and the blind guy that preaches justice right?"

Getting comfortable on Jasmine's lap before answering the sudden query. 

"Yeah, Gin Ichimaru, he's the current Captain of Squad Three, and Kaname Tosen, the current Captain of Squad Nine."

"Heh~ I wonder how the so called 'plot' will flow when Aizen is down one of his errand boys~" Jasmine finished with an innocent expression as if she wasn't talking about killing someone, which causes the cat lazing in her lap to twitch.

"Oi, seriously?" Yoruichi deadpanned at her only to receive a mischievous grin that stretched across the red head's face.

"Hehehe~ That's task number two figured out, now it's just about which one to remove from the 'story'~"

Listening to this little demon plot the murder of one of the Captains of the Gotei Thirteen, Yoruichi could only shake her little cat head in exasperation, before joining in with a laugh of her own.

"I wish I could see Aizen's face when it happens, it should confuse him to no end trying to figure out who did it haha~"

"Hehe~ Right? Now let's go get that ice cream you told me about!" Jasmine lifted Yoruichi off her lap and placed her atop her head again.

Taking one step forward off the edge of the roof, Jasmine appeared within a crowded sidewalk below without anyone noticing her.

"After we do this I will head off to the Soul Society to have a look around~" 

Hearing this Yoruichi shivered, wondering what kind of scheme the little demon has thought up.

+ + + + + + + + + +

High above the clouds a small fissure in reality could be seen slowly opening, within the endlessness of the abyss between worlds a young girl could be seen walking without a care in the world towards the opening exit.

Taking a step out of the void, Jasmine looked down on the settlement below with a bored face.

"Sigh, even with the increased density of Spirit Energy in the air, this place looks like such a shithole..." 

Not felt by anyone, Jasmine swept her Divine Sense over the entire Soul Society.

Everything within the Soul Society, from the poverty stricken outer districts to the opulent Noble Houses, the Seireitei and even the palace of the Soul King that was guarded by the Zero Division, could be seen within her mind's eye.

Glancing deeper into the Seireitei, Jasmine could only let out a sigh with a wry smile

"Hmm? How no one saw those clowns hiding in the shadows is beyond me… Whatever, it doesn't matter for now, I'll drop some hints so they can prepare for their invasion in the future."

Shaking these thoughts away, she cups her chin with her right hand while a grin stretched across her face.

"Now then, what shall I do while I wait for the rest of the crew to show up~?" Turning to face her left side, Jasmine gets her first visual of the Seireitei, a large expanse of white buildings met her eyes.

"Hmm, I can sense that the Captain-Commander sitting in the 1st Division, from the feel of his aura I would place him around 8th tier Divine Origin realm, heh not too bad old man~."

Sweeping her senses over the rest of the captains, an intrigued expression makes its way onto her face as she finds her target.

A brown haired and bespectacled man with a kind face, he was talking with one other person in what appeared to be his division barrack's main office.

"Ohh? The feel of his aura puts him around 3rd tier Divine Origin, it has this sort of ethereal feeling to it as well… Could that be what it is like when his Zanpaktou's ability is active?"

Pulling back her senses with a feeling of disappointment.

"Sigh, I guess I was too excited about this mission having some sort of challenge. It seems like when met with overwhelming differences of power, his illusions become useless. Sigh, Oh well... I will still be able to mess with them a little bit~"

With a step forward her figure blurred before vanishing, appearing deep within the Seireitei she made her way unseen by those around her.

She casually strolled through plaza that she had landed in towards the direction that she felt Rukia was being held.

Half an hour later Jasmine could be found standing idly outside the gates of the Sixth division barracks briefly contemplating what she wants to achieve, with a shrug she entered the barracks.

Making her way towards the detention centre of the division using a technique that alters the perception of those around her to ignore her presence.

She located Rukia in the centre prison cell, seated with her eyes closed and a defeated expression on her face.

It had been around a week since her brother came and retrieved her from the world of the living, while severely injuring Ichigo in the process.

The quiet ambience of the prison block was broken by Jasmines teasing voice.

"Heh, So you're the one that Ichigo and his merry band of friends are coming to rescue~"

Rukia's head snapped to Jasmine's position in shock.

"Who are you?!" She blurted out in surprise at seeing no one. "Why are you here? What do you mean rescue mission?"

Rukia's questions shot out one after the other only to be met with silence.

Jasmine just smiled mischievously while a teasing glint flashed through her eyes.

"Answer me!" Rukia was beginning to get suspicious of this mysterious voice.

"Hehe~ No need to get so worked up Rukia-chan, your friends will be here soon~" Jasmine said without answering the questions.

Turning on her heel and making her way towards the exit.

"Just sit tight and relax, Strawberry-chan will come get you soon~"

+ + + + + + + + + +

It has been three days since Jasmine arrived in the Soul Society. After her brief visit to Rukia, Jasmine has been on and off following Aizen and his 2 lackeys while lowering her concealment just enough so that they felt that they were being followed yet could not confirm anything.

She could hardly contain her giggles when after the first day of randomly feeling her gaze on them they would start flinching. In the privacy of the central 46, the three traitor captains were beyond confused on who was causing them to experience such sensations.

Unseen by anyone and sitting atop the wooden execution stand on Sokyoku Hill with her legs swinging back and forth, Jasmine gazed at the sky.

"Sigh, It's almost time to get work. And just when I was about up the ante and start to whisper in their ears~" Jasmine lamented. 

*PING!*

'Hm?' Jasmine smiled looking at the opaque screen in front of her eyes. 

[Fairy of Frozen Moon is online.]

[Heavenly Slaughter Star God(Admin) is offline.]

'It's good that she is slowly opening up with the group, I don't think she would of taken the initiative to start a conversation before.'

Jasmine swayed her legs back and forth as if preparing to leap off the edge, with a small shuffle off the execution stand she slowly floated to the ground.

As soon as her feet made contact with the floor, her figure disappeared.

The only sign of her being there was the small disturbed patch soil where her foot briefly landed.
