Ichigo and Mio stood down each other for a good long time, until Mio decided to break the silence. "Try to enjoy yourself in this spar Ichigo, stress is not the best company while your fighting" Mio said in a serious tone.

'After seeing her earlier and that high spiritual pressure I'm sensing I better start off with my Bankai' Ichigo thought as he pointed his sword to her. "BANKAI!" he shouted as smoke began to gather along with a wild wind building it up into a giant twister, as the smoke cleared Ichigo held up his new black katana with a new jacket. "Tensa Zangetsu" he said. Mio stood there and didn't say a word. "Mio was it?" Ichigo asked making sure he said her name correctly, "I got a question to ask you before we start." He said as Mio gave him her complete attention.

"Do you know anything about a man named Shinji Hirako?" He asked, "Yes I know him, he was a friend of mine before…." She tried to finish, "What?" he asked, Mio gave Ichigo a friendly smile before responding.

"If you want more answer you have to survive this match." She said returning to her serious demeanor. "Not only will I survive I'll beat you." He said. Mio smiled again and giggled a bit at his comment. "You're kinda cute when your confident." She said causing Ichigo to blush.

He shook off her comment and moved in to attack, Mio put her hand over her face and with one swipe Ichigo was pushed back by the amount of spirit energy she was releasing. Smoke gathered around her and formed a giant whirlwind, 'What the hell? Now her spiritual pressure is exactly like Aizen's!' Ichigo thought shielding himself from the debris, as the smoke cleared Mio stood there wearing a hollow mask (Dragon skull shaped mask with purple stripes along the side with one horn and one half cut horn, complete the mask was a large red X mark across the face Think of the Fafnir hunt from FF12)

Mio's piercing topaz eyes glared at Ichigo with killing intent and sonido'd right in front of him in an attempt to slash his shoulder, but luckily his reflexes were fast enough for him to block, but when he did he was pushed back with incredible force further into the sky Ichigo used this time to also put on his mask.

When Mio appeared above him Ichigo countered with getsuga tenshou but to his surprise she slashed right through it with ease only being slightly pushed back. She proceeded by drop kicking Ichigo in his face cracking his mask a little, he quickly regained balance and swung his sword to try and get a hit in but she dodged it and started swinging her blade like a mad barbarian.

Ichigo also started slashing with his blade and an all out sword fight started between the two vizards, sparks flying everywhere, the of sound of their swords colliding echoing in through the air, Ichigo then augmented his blade with getsuga tenshou to increase it's cutting ability but still Mio wasn't letting up, she held his blade between her two fingers and twisted it causing Ichigo to drop his sword when she was about to give him a round house kick to the jaw Ichigo flash stepped out the way and caught his zanpakuto just before it fell any further. Mio sonido'd in front of him with speed rivaling that of the goddess of flash and slashed him across his chest "DAMMIT!" Ichigo shouted in pain.

Mio dived down as Ichigo was falling or so she thought, the moment she came in close Ichigo released his getsuga tenshou with full force, Mio blocked it trying to push it back but to her surprise Ichigo flashed stepped right behind her and released another getsuga tenshou colliding with his first one causing an explosion in the sky Mio appeared in front of Ichigo hardly damaged. "What! That can't be, she's hardly even hurt!" He thought Mio grab his arm that was holding zangetsu and pulled him down at that moment her lips met his, the kiss lasted no more than ten seconds before she let go. Ichigo stood back with light blush on his face. "Yi… What the hell! You just kissed me." Ichigo said still blushing, Mio just gave him a innocent smile although she was also blushing a bit.

"Consider it a reward for surviving." She said descending back to the rooftop to return to her body. Ichigo removed his mask and also descended down. Just when they returned to their bodies the bell ranged signaling that lunch was over and they had to go to their next class. Ichigo was a bit upset that he didn't get to eat but was still shocked about what Mio just did. When he got his stuff and was about to head downstairs he looked in back and Mio was sitting down eating, "Aren't you gonna join me?" She asked, "We're suppose to be heading back to class." Ichigo retorted "Forget class, besides I'm sure you have some questions for me" Mio said, "Yeah well I'm starting to think on whether or not it was worth it" Ichigo said, actually he wanted answers more than anything but considering how much school he missed he preferred not to risk it.

" It can wait next time we meet, I'm gone" Ichigo said walking away, " Ichigo" she said, he stopped and turned around "Yeah?" He asked, "Okay listen we both know I kissed you and we both know you enjoyed it as much as I did now if you would like to keep that between us I suggest you sit back down and have lunch with me." She said with a sly smile across her face, Ichigo groaned in response to her blackmail and walked back over to her, sat down and pulled back out his lunch "See? Isn't this better than class?" she said "Shut up" he said scowling, "Sense you're in such a bad mood how about this, meet me at the park tomorrow if you still want answers because what I have to say could take the whole day." She said, " I guess, but answer this" Ichigo said getting Mio's attention, "Why did you…. You know?" He asked as he blushed at his question, Mio simply shrugged at his question.

"I thought you were cute, you didn't look like the kind of person who made first moves." She said with a smile causing Ichigo to blush even more, "What do you mean by that?" He asked "Nothing, your just…. normal I guess." She said. After awhile the bell ranged for dismissal and they went to their lockers to change into their street clothes. After words Mio walked away giving Ichigo a wave goodbye, when Ichigo was about to leave he found a letter on his backpack. "Don't forget" was on the letter, Ichigo pondered as he walked home on the events from earlier particularly the kiss 'Does she like me?' he thought as he walked home.
