Meanwhile, a young man with messy black hair and fair skin stood with his sword outstretched as if he were attacking something, but the only thing that he succeeded to slash was the air. "Hmm?" He lowered his sword, taking in his surroundings. As far as the eye could see were books upon books.<br/><br/>"Now what? They've teleported me to a library? Just when I was finally going to land a finishing blow..." The man grumbled aloud to himself, as he sheathed his sword. "What could I possibly do here? And where am I? I've never seen so many books in one place before," he marveled, still talking to himself. Finding nothing better to do, he decided to explore. The man had no intention of finding anything of use, but was simply trying to figure out where he was and to plan his next move against his enemies.<br/><br/>As he walked through the isle between the bookshelves, a book seemed to jump off the shelf and hit him in the head. The man cursed under his breath and was about to aim a kick at the book, when he noticed something very familiar. The title bore the name: Vincent Archer, which was shared by his most hated enemy. He picked up the book and looked inside.<br/><br/>"So Vincent is afraid of snakes, eh?" the man read and chuckled to himself. "This could be useful, but what is a book about him doing in here?" The thought occurred to him that his own book could be hidden in here somewhere as well. That was certainly not something he would want to fall into the wrong hands.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~<br/><br/>"My name is Ichigo Kura-... What the? Where am I?" Ichigo said, in his soul reaper form, his hand on the hilt of his sword. He stopped talking when it appeared he was alone, as nothing is as it seems. However, hundreds of questions swirled in his head about this unusual place. It appeared to be a library, but moments ago he had been about to fight one of the soul reaper creeps that were standing between him and his goal. He was definitely not in the library only a moment ago, and the change unnerved him.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I'm sorry, Peony. But I have to return everyone to their home worlds eventually. If I do not, then life itself will be destroyed because of the imbalance cause by too many people not being where they should be. If you give me a moment, I will show you to your room and explain the few rules we have here after I get Zelgadis settled."</span><br/><br/>Ichigo, a high school aged young man with spiked orange hair, followed the voice toward a door. "Excuse me," he said, seeing a woman, a strange looking guy, and an even stranger looking girl all within close proximity of each other, obviously talking. "Sorry to interrupt, but what is this place? How did I get here? On second thought, nevermind that. The more important question is how can I get back? I have someone to save, and not much time."
