in the 9th squad training dojo raian was training with his soon to be captain hisagi. hisagi: ok now will work on tactics, if you don't have a good strategy then you will just get kicked around. raian: ok, I get what your saying, but after seeing this guy he don't look like he would fall clever tactics easily. hisagi: yes, you are right about that but if you're going to be my vice captain then you will need to know some good tactics. raian: ahh, now I see.
in urahara's training ground under his shop. urahara: my my, ishin you've gotten better since the last time we have fought. ishin: I got no time to waste, so I figured I d tried smart fighting for once. urahara: yes. I see, you know that s not your forte. ishin: yea I know but I feel as though as I need to fight smart other wise I would die. urahara's thoughts: interesting, he s actually thinking for once.
at kuorsaki's house. inoue: you know you're really good at this game karin, don't think so uyru? uyru just grunts at the fact he was losing at monopoly. yuzu: launch is almost done. karin: ok (as she responded to her sister), alright now, uyru that 350 you owe me (as she said with a big grin) uyru: what, that s all I have left. karin: so, hand it over. uyru hands over the last of his monopoly money over. uyru: I can't believe I lost to a little girl, especially if its kurosaki's little sister. inoue: yuzu, its your turn. yuzu: okay. yuzu walks over to the board game and rolls the dice. yuzu: yay, free parking. karin: every time we play this game you always get free parking, how the hell do you do it? yuzu: uumm, I don't know I just roll the dice. inoue: ok my turn (rolls the dice), yay, boardwalk, I ll buy it. karin: inoue, you don't have enough. inoue: what? as she counts her monopoly money yuzu goes in the kitchen to finish the sandwiches she made for everyone. inoue: oh, you're right I don't have enough (sobs). karin: (sighs) look you're only 100 dollars short, so I guess I can loan it to you, if you allow one of my houses on it. inoue: ok. yuzu: launch is ready (she said while bring in a tray with sandwiches on it). everyone: alright.
in the 11th squads training dojo. ichigo: man oh man, you didn't have to hit me that hard renji, I mean that s going to leave a bump. renji: well if you have been more aware then you would never have been hit like that. ichigo: I told you let take a brake, we've been training for 4 hours now. renji: heh, I can train longer then 4 hours . ichigo: yea, well I can't, I m beat and hungry. rukia: launch you guys. ichigo: alright. renji: sweet. rukia: I made them (smile). renji: on second thought I m good. ichigo: really, I mean I don't really care I m willing to eat rukia's made launch. rukia: thank you ichigo, a least you can be more considerate renji and eat some. renji: if I eat that then I d die before the tournament even gets here. he walks away towards the kitchen to make him self something to eat. ichigo: I don't know why he s like that, your cooking has improved since my sister gave you cooking training. rukia: thanks, so how do you like it? ichigo: its really good. rukia: good, I ve made some for everyone in my squad and the 11th squad, I said I d make launch for them if they let us use there dojo. ichigo: cool, I think I m going to go back to my home and train with my dad. rukia: that s good you want to train with your dad, mind if I watch? ichigo: no, not at all, you can even learn some new recipes from my sister, she thought it was a lot of fun when she gave you some cooking lessons. rukia: sounds like fun.

in the 11th squad dojo. ichigo: that was awesome rukia. rukia: I m glad you liked it. ichigo: something been bothering. rukia: what is it? ichigo: I ve been wondering why sho no karitori wants to hold a tournament and give us a chance to save our world. rukia: are you saying that you don't want to save the world? ichigo: no, its not that, I mean I m glad that we get a chance but what his deal with the tournament? rukia: you have a point. ichigo: well, I guess we'll never know until I fight him. as he gets up. rukia: yea your right. she gets up to follow ichigo to the cafeteria.
as ichigo and rukia made it to the cafeteria they were surprise to what has happen. ichigo: what the hell? rukia: I don't think I ve ever seen anything like it before. as both had there eyes on renji who had almost finished the stew pot by him self. renji: hey rukia, ichigo. ichigo: renji how much did you eat? ikakku: almost the entire pot. rukia: I guess my cooking is better then you thought, ey renji? renji: yes, I m sorry I dismissed your cooking, I was wrong. rukia: so how is it? renji: best damn stew I have ever had. ikakku: good, cause your on dish washing duty for everyone here. renji: what, your kidding right? ikakku: nope. renji: awe, come on. ichigo: looks like you're stuck with my dishes renji. ikakku: and you can join him. ichigo: what. renji: heh, looks like you're stuck with dishes with me. ichigo: wanna bet? renji: huh. as he had a confused look. ichigo: ikakku (as he had an evil grin on his face). ikakku: yea (he understood ichigo evil grin and gave him back one) ichigo: lets have a fight, who ever gets beat down till the other is, (ikakku tried to finish his sentence). ikakku: is dead. ichigo: no, that will be the rule, no one dies. ikakku: fine, you took the fun out of it for me though. ichigo: I have a feeling you will change your mind when we fight, loser helps renji with the dishes. ikakku: you got it.
as ichigo and ikakku enter the dojo to start there battle. ikakku: let use our Zanpakutous to fight. ukitake: that won't be necessary. rukia: captain ukitake. ikakku: tch, everyone seem to take the fun out of this fight. ukitake: no one needs to get seriously injured with this friendly match. ichigo: right. after a half an hour ichigo was proclaimed the winner. ichigo: I told you I would win. ikakku: tch, whatever. ichigo: you get to help renji with the dishes. ukitake: ichigo I was wondering if I could have a word with you and rukia. ichigo: yea sure. rukia nods in agreement.
