Ichigo & Orihime at the Olympic Games

Chapter 1

The Kidnapping of Kazui

"Ichigo! We need to get going!"

Ichigo wakes up, rubbing his eyes. He had just been taking a nap, while Orihime was running around doing chores.

"Yo, Orihime," Ichigo remarks. "We aren't in that big of a hurry, are we?"

"Ichigo, you've been sleeping for two hours! If you don't wake up soon, we'll miss the plane!"

Ichigo laughs. "Relax, Orihime. I've got it all under control."

Kazui comes running into the room. "Mama! Papa! Are we ready to go?"

"We are, but I'm not sure about your father…" Orihime laughs, grabbing Ichigo's cheek playfully.

Ichigo laughs as well, then reaches over and kisses Orihime on the cheek.

"All right, let's go."


Ichigo uses his flashstep to zoom himself, Orihime, and Kazui through the streets on their way to the airport. They get to security and find themselves about to miss the plane, so they just zoom past the guards.

"Hey, you!" a security guard shouts. "You can't go"

"Gotta run!" Ichigo shouts, flashstepping by the security guards, with Orihime and Kazui holding on tight. The three then find their way onto the plane, just as the doors close.

"Wait a minute, you can't let those guys on!" a security guard shouts.

"It's too late! They're off!"

The plane goes to take off, and the security guards throw their hands up.

"I can't believe you let those guys on without checking them!" one of the security guards shouts.

"Relax," a male voice says, creeping up on them. "Those are good guys. You can trust me on that."

The security guards turn around to see Rukia and Renji Abarai standing there.

"Who are you?"

"We're friends of Ichigo and Orihime," Rukia replies. "Ichigo has done a whole lot of good. He's the reason you're standing here today. Let them go. They will protect us if there are any problems."

"I hope you're right," the security guard mumbles, watching the plane take off.


"Where are we going, Mama?" Kazui asks his mother Orihime, as they sit together on the plane.

"We're going to the Olympic Games in Brazil!" Orihime exclaims. "There's going to be lots of sports there… like baseball! American football! Ice hockey!"

Ichigo laughs. "Silly Hime," he chuckles. "Not those sports. No, we're going there to watch our good friend Chad in boxing."

"Boxing, huh?" Kazui replies. "So, is he good?"

"He's really good!" Orihime says. "He's the top amateur heavyweight boxer in the world!"

"Indeed," Ichigo states. "He is becoming a professional right after the Olympics. But he wants to win a gold medal for his native country Mexico first."

"Mexico?" Kazui wonders.

"He has both Mexican and Japanese ancestry," Ichigo explains. "So he chose to fight for Mexico. And he has a good shot to win the gold medal."

"I hope so," Orihime says with a bit of nervousness in her voice.

"Relax," Ichigo says. "Everything's going to be just fine."


After some haggling at the airport once getting off the plane, Ichigo, Orihime, and Kazui head to their hotel. Orihime uses her computer to start a video chat with Tatsuki.

"Hey, guys!" Tatsuki exclaims. "Good to see you! Especially, you, Kazui!"

Kazui smiles while his eyes from Orihime twinkle.

"How are you doing?" Orihime asks.

"Great, just got finished karate training," Tatsuki replies. "You know that karate is going to be part of the Olympic Games in four years? I'm going to try to compete for a medal!"

"Awesome!" Orihime replies.

"How's Ichigo?" Tatsuki wonders.

"He's in the bathroom," Orihime laughs. "Probably had to poop."

"Or maybe he's getting ready for something…" Tatsuki teases.

Orihime chuckles. "Maybe…"

"You know, I got a text from Rukia. They said they were trying to talk to you guys before you got to the airport."

"That's funny," Orihime responds. "I was just thinking of them. What's the matter?"

"I don't know, but they were trying to warn you about something."

"Warn us?"

Orihime hears a noise, and she looks over to the window of her hotel room. The window crashes open, and a mysterious shadow grabs Kazui. Before Kazui can even react, he disappears.

"Kazui!" Orihime shouts back.

Ichigo comes running out of the bathroom desperately.

"KAZUI!"

The shadow disappears along with Kazui. Ichigo and Orihime look on, absolutely stunned.

"Ichigo! You've got to save him!" Orihime shouts.

"Whoever took him, they'd better watch out!" Ichigo shouts. "Cause they're going to PAY!"

(A/N: This story is set shortly prior to the final scene in the manga. Olympic boxers must be amateurs, so Chad is still an amateur boxer at the time of this story.)
