Riza bowed back and smiled. "It's nice to meet you. And now I can thank you properly for helping these boys. Thank you very much."
Ed blinked. "How come Lieutenant Hawkeye can see you now? You're not souls anymore?" he asked, very confused.
"Ah!" Al said, pointing his finger up as if realizing something. "You guys can leave your bodies whenever you want?"

"We can," Renji corrected, "It's a bit more complicated for Ichigo."
The Strawberry jabbed a thumb to his collueges, "They're actual spirits in fake bodies. I'm an actual human."
Rukia snickered at Ed, "Obviously, since I'm wearing a sundress and these two are in real pants." She and Renji were more used to their haoris, but they were open to new things.

Roy nodded. "Down to business. So have you found out any information on why these so called "Hallows" have shown up all of a sudden and why only certain people can see them?" he asked, looking at the three soul reapers. He had dark circles under his eyes. He obviously didn't get much sleep since the first Hollow attack on HQ and ever since he'd been hounded by the higher ups to clean up the mess. Things weren't going well for the Colonel.

"Captain Ukitake has a theory," Rukia began as everyone watched and listened, "He talked to Captain Kurotsuchi about your alchemy. He said he had a basic idea of it and how, when used, gives off a high spiritual pressure."
"That must be why the Hollows are here," Renji surmized.
Rukia nodded, "That being said, because of which that may also explain why only alchemists can see spirits and others can't. Another hypothesis as to why the Hollows are here is Aizen... at least that's what Captain Kyoraku believes. He's gone to talk to Head Captain Yamamoto about it."
Though the others were confused as to who (or what as far as they were concerned) 'Aizen' was Ichigo and Renji glowered and remained silent as they thought about him and his betrayl to the Soul Society.

Ed, Al, Roy, and Riza all looked at each other, then back at the three soul reapers. "So what's spiritual pressure? And who exactly are these 'captains' you keep talking about?" Ed asked, feeling utterly lost in the conversation.

"Sorry," Rukia laughed sheepishly, "Spiritual Pressure is the physical force, or pressure, that a person's Spiritual Power creates when released. That being said, Spiritual Power is a power aligned with the spiritual sensitivity and willpower of the user, hence why your alchemy gives off a spiritual pressure."
Renji nodded, "And our Captians are the leaders of one of the thirteen divisions of our Court Guard Squad. Soul Reapers are one-third of the military force protecting the Soul Society. I just so happen to be a lieutenant to one of them. Lieutenant Abari, second in command of Squad Six."

"I see. So there's another world that this Soul Society exists in, am I right?" Al asked, starting to understand it a bit better than his brother. "You protect the souls of the dead and make sure they pass on safely."
"So why do these hollows decide to attack this world now when alchemy has existed for hundreds of years?" Riza asked, speaking up for the first time since they soul reapers have arrived.

"Not sure, but like I said, I think it's Aizen," Ichigo answered.
"He used to be the Captain of Squad Five... until he betrayed us all," Renji clarified, "Sousuke Aizen is not a man you want to tangle with."
"He almost succeeded in killing me..." Rukia whispered darkly to herself.

"That's awful!" Al said to Rukia, being the kind soul he is.
"So then what do we do?" Ed asked, crossing his arms over his chest. "Do you even know where this Aizen guy is?"

"A place called 'Hueco Mundo'," Rukia replied with a nod, "The place where Hollows are born."
Then Renji's phone rang. He groaned to see that it was his own captain.
"Captain Kuchiki! What's the matter?"
Kuchiki Byakuya hesitated a bit before replying, "Come back, Renji. You, Rukia, and Ichigo too. Not to Karakura, here."
"The Soul Society?"
"Correct. And bring your new comrades. The Head-Captain would like to have a conference with them."
"Uh... y-yessir! Right away sir!" He hastily hung up and relayed the message with a yelp.
Ichigo blinked, "Bring them to the Sereitei? This must be serious then! I hope Kyoraku didn't stretch the truth here or these guys'll be in serious trouble!"

Roy blinked. "You captain wants to speak with us?" he asked a bit surprised. He then grew serious again. "Very well then. Where do we meet them?"
Ed was a bit confused. "What do they want to see us for? And why would we be in trouble?"

Renji shook his head, "Hell if I know. Anyway, it's unusual that the Head Captain would want an audience with humans. I mean, what Ichigo ment anyway, is that outsiders aren't usually allowed into the Sereitei."
"I sure didn't recieve this warm of a welcome when I arrived for the first time," Ichigo snorted.
"YOU WERE INVADING! What else were we supposed to do? And at the time, it was against the law!"
"So? At least I did something about it. You just lay there after I beat you, sniveling for me to save Rukia."
"Shut up! You beat me through luck, not skill. Besides, I'm a Lieutenant! I can't just disobey all willy-nilly like you can!"
"Is that jealousy I hear in your voice, Renji?"
"RAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
Rukia punched the back of both their heads to shut them up. It certainly worked.

Roy stood from his desk, his forehead twitching from the noise. "Looks like I won't get any sleep tonight..." he muttered to himself and glared at the three soul reapers.
"I'm not gonna ask..." Ed said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"If hollows are attacking our world then it must be serious," Al said, standing up from his seat next to Ed. "How do we get to this Sereitei? I don't want anymore innocent people getting hurt!"
Ed, Roy, and Riza all stared at Al, shocked at his forwardness. Of course, whenever the Elrics set their mind on something there was no stopping them.

Rukia nodded, "An escort should be on it's way shortly. In the meantime, now just hearing this information, seems we need to lose a few extra pounds again, guys."
"I just got back in my body!" Ichigo complained, but Renji stopped him in his whine.
"And we just let them stay as they are too?"
Rukia smirked, "Of course not! They can't come with us if they're still bound like this!"

"Huh? What do you mean we can't go like this?" Ed asked confused. "Exactly HOW do we get there?"
"D-Do we...have to leave our bodies?" Roy asked, blinking.
