Not having seen Season Six, this will be educational for me anyway. So did the Trio get an invisibility gun at some point?

And I REALLY want to introduce Ikkaku to my own Zanpakuto. Honestly, he has no idea of what the word 'tact' means, does he?

Looking forward to more, both on this and FIJYB! And I can't wait until you introduce Ichigo and company.

Yeah, they built one. There's a whole episode, called 'Gone' that revolves around Buffy's invisibility. I'm going to have to rewatch it to get a better idea of what scenes I'm going to use.

Ikkaku is the kind of person who thinks the truth should be shared, even if the truth hurts. Yeah, he could use a lesson in tact, but if he tiptoed around stuff he wouldn't be Ikkaku.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to wait a while for Ichigo and company - that's not going to happen until book 3. As for 'Family', I wish I could promise a chapter in the next week or so, but with my schedule as it is right now I doubt it's going to happen.

Thanks for the comments :). You're one of the reviewers I look forward to when I post new stuff :)

The Trio attack,and now they are in so much trouble.

Uh... yeah. That's kind of how I wrote it. Thanks for the comment.

A great new chapter, this fic hasn't been updated in a while, glad to see it's still alive. Keep up the great work. I do wonder if buffy is ever going to get her powers back... Without dying first of course.

It might take me a while, but I am determined to finish this three-part series. My Harry Potter series, too, and that one's going to be a long one. I just hope I have people willing to keep reading through the long haul :)

wonder if Buffy can request some money from Soul Soceity? Course if Central 46 finds out about her status they might order her execution.

Good to see Buffy and Dawn getting along so well. Now if only Yumi can break through to her. If the boys go back hope Buffy sends a letter with them to Rukia she needs all the friends she can get without Renji to keep her company anymore.

Good story looking forward to your next chapter.

Yeah, but when it happened to Rukia, Central 46 was acting through Aizen's orders. And she didn't give up her powers to a human, her powers have been bound within her.

I'm really hoping I can get something up relatively soon. I need to watch some Season 6 episodes to really get a feel for some of the scenes I'm planning on using.

So. She's now "blinvisible", as Xander put it? ...just finished catching up on Bleach (almost). I didn't see what you saw in Ikkaku until the last few eps --his deathmatch with the Arrancar, also showing his background. Now I get it. He's an interesting person.
And against the Trio, all the shinigami will be needed. Ok, maybe one of them.

I know, I

It's nice to see another update. Makes me a little curious about things and where everyone went and such things.

This story finally motivated me to watch "Bleach" --the first 15+ eps are kind of slow but it gets a lot better from #20 on. Finally seeing a lot of the characters mentioned here. Makes a lot more sense now. Any chance of Ichigo & company showing up?

Not in this one. The third book (yes, there is a third... this series is going to be a doozy!) concentrates on the Bleach universe.

Are you watching the subtitled episodes or the dubbed episodes? Either are all right, although I like the voice actors better in the original Japanese version. Now, if only I could actually understand Japanese...

I agree with War, waiting for the other shoe to drop. But got to say I love getting an update! Love the interaction with all the characters, having them bonding into a family. It's wonderful.

And it will. Conflict will be happening in the next chapter.

You know, considering how overprotective Ikkaku and Yumichika are, I wonder how they're going to react to the nerds.

Question: if the first book was 'Slayer Shinigami' and this one is 'Sunnydale Shinigami', what will the title of the last book be? Will it keep with the theme of SS?

Don't answer if doing so would cause spoilers.

It's going to be Karakura Slayer. I'm really messing with timelines, in case you were wondering.

Nice to see everyone getting along but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Good story looking forward to your next chapter.

Conflict is ahead. Big fight and things are going to get a little messy.

An acknowledging haiku:

Fantastic story
Just now reaching chapter ten
Muse kind now and then

It's too bad all the good Buffy villains are dead by this time, her pals have no idea what Sunnydale used to be like. The Trio just doesn't cut it in the air of menace department. Maybe if Drusilla showed up?

Whoo! Updates Yay! XD I'm kinda half expecting Ikkaku to barge in on Willow and Tara now. oO; Pretty relaxed chapter, but it flowed so well and left me wondering what Yumi and Dawn are going to talk about.

IT LIIIIIIIVES!

Ahem. Seriously, I was wondering what the flarks was taking so long.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that Buffy is getting help dealing with being alive again.

By the way, a note about the Spirit Glove (or Soul Glove). It SHOULD have ejected Buffy's spirit anyway. See when Ichigo starts training with Urahara to regain his powers. Ichigo is a normal Plus (or Whole) for the beginning of the training.

Of course, this COULD be a side-effect of being ressurected combined with whatever the freak show did. Ah well.

Looking forward to the next chapter, and how you deal with the Nerd Trio.

I know it should have - I do know my Bleach fandom, thankyouverymuch.

And I think I said, in the last chapter, that I was going to wait until "Family" was caught up, chapter-wise before I started posting anything on this again. That, coupled with the fact that my computer was dead for nearly a month, isn't very conducive to writing and updating.

Great chapter!
Eagerly await an explanation of the situation as it relates to what Willow and Kurosuwhatsis have done to Buffy.
