A/N…I'M BACK, BITCHES!

.

It had been a couple weeks since Yoruichi and Ichigo had effectively shut down the Hollow fights. By that time it was mid-September but the whether never seemed to change. During this time, Ichigo had learned how to effectively control his spiritual energy and force it into his body but not without some personal seals to keep it a manageable level. The teachings under Yoruichi and Zangetsu had made him prosper in the art of keeping his ocean-sized spirit energy under control even under battle conditions.

Caesar had helped, of course with the stress testing but each day in Ichigo's inner world, he Zangetsu, and Caesar, would each undo some spiritual energy from the personal seal and get it under control.

Kido had been called a must from Yoruichi because of the way it needed reiatsu control. It also acted as another way for Ichigo to defend himself while still in his body. He had mastered up to Hado and Bakudo #31 which astounded Yoruichi and Zangetsu both at his proficiency at Kido. Both had thought that he would suck greatly but they were corrected greatly in the fact that he would be the next Kido protégée.

Ichigo's muscle mass had increased slightly but he still looked lean and not overly muscular. Ichigo figured no matter how much he worked out, he wouldn't get huge muscles, his would only become denser and stronger.

His routine at school also didn't change. Get up, do laps, get shower and do other morning routines, get dressed in his informal uniform, wait at intersection with Saizo for Kurumu, Yoruichi, and Moka.

Speaking of which, Kurumu had been casually flirting with him and he occasionally flirted back which made her feel giddy inside. His oblivious shell cracked when Zangetsu and Caesar gave him the other kind of 'talk.'

One week ago…

"God, you're a dumbass," Caesar grumbled as he watched Ichigo cast Byakurai over and over again, trying to master it upon casting it without incantation or announcing it. Caesar closed his eyes and laid back on the dead grass neck to Ichigo's body.

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo asked his counterpart as he and Zangetsu sat down beside Cesar.

"We have been thinking, Ichigo, that you need a lesson on flirting and how to tell when a woman is flirting with you," Zangetsu said while Ichigo went bug-eyed.

"What are you talking about?! I know about flirting!" Ichigo countered while Caesar just sat up and glared at his land-lord.

"Oh really. Then tell me, king, who's been flirting with ya this past week?" Caesar asked and glared at the same time as he crossed his arms.

"Uh…no one?" he said while Caesar face-faulted and Zangetsu rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"This will be your secondary lesson after you are done with stressed reiatsu control and Kido. You will learn about the female mind," Zangetsu said while Ichigo merely raised an ignorant eyebrow.

Present Time…

Yoruichi had been taking a different approach to Ichigo. She did small things like compliment him about looking handsome and smiling warmly to him at random points throughout the day. He had to say that it was better than having her constantly teasing him.

And onto Moka…Ichigo had to say that the silver-haired Moka was much more straightforward with Ichigo than the pink-haired one. He missed the pink-haired one slightly but figured having one Moka was better than having none at all.

But Ichigo's demeanor had changed. He had become quite the teased however he only did it when provoked so it wouldn't seem like he was a hypocrite.

Any who we now see Ichigo sitting in class with a bored expression on his face while looking out the window with Yoruichi sitting behind him, Moka sitting next to him, Saizo sitting to the top-right of him, and Kurumu sitting in front of him.

"And that, class is how humans make an awful imitation of vampires and werewolves alike," Ms. Neko said gesturing to the movie the class had been watching. Ichigo believed it was called 'Twilight' but he wasn't paying attention in the least to the shitty movie.

"Are you sure that was a romance movie? I thought it was a comedy," Moka cracked a joke making the class erupt in laughter. She looked over to Ichigo and he was just looking out the window with an impassive look on his face.

Her small smirk from the joke dissipated as she looked at his features. He seemed to be deep in thought. What's he thinking about? The silver haired vampire thought as she continued to stare at him. He glanced her way and she immediately averted her gaze as a blush overtook her features.

The 'bad' part about having to formerly share a conscious with the other Moka was that all of her emotions also went through the silver haired Moka. That meant that whatever outer Moka felt, Inner Moka did as well towards the strawberry.

So, for all you romantically inept people out there, let me explain.

The crush outer Moka had for Ichigo carried over to inner Moka almost instantaneously however to a lesser degree but it was still there. The warm, giddy, feelings, however, went full force towards the silver-haired vampire.

Snapping out of her stupor, she realized that Ichigo was now right beside her looking down at her.

"Oi, Moka, we gotta get to science class," he said as she nodded absently and stood up while he walked behind her towards his next class.

"You know…it was kind of cute when you were staring at me for five minutes in class," he smirked while she blushed crimson.

"S-Shut up, Ichigo!" she retorted making him chuckle and her anger to recede.

They walked in silence until they reached their science class which just so happened to be chemistry, they entered and took their regular seats while Ichigo glared at the guys that were ogling Moka like she was a piece of meat. He honestly was having a tough time understanding how these guys just let their hormone induced selves run amuck. It was actually giving males everywhere a bad name that they were all perverts.

After a moment of wondering where their science teacher was, Ms. Neko walked in to address the class.

"Now, I'm sure that some of you are wondering where Mr. Yamanaka is, but he has decided to take a job in the human world so this class will be getting a new teacher! Say hello to Mr. Kisuke Urahara!" Ms. Neko announced happily making Ichigo's jaw drop and Yoruichi's eyes to widen as a familiar, hat n' clogs wearing man walked in the room casually while twirling his cane on one finger.

He stopped in front of the desk snapping his fan open, hiding his grin as he spotted Yoruichi and Ichigo.

"Hello, everyone, as you know, my name is Kisuke Urahara, or how you will call me, Mr. Urahara. If you get on good enough terms with me, you may call me Kisuke. I hope that we can be friends in the future, my dear students!" Kisuke spoke in a jovial tone with a grin, snapping his fan shut.

"Well, you seem to have everything under control here, Mr. Urahara, so I'll just be on my way and don't forget to announce the clubs after class!" Ms. Neko said as she left the classroom.

Not a second later Ichigo stood up earning questioning looks from the class save Yoruichi and grabbed the teacher's collar before dragging him outside before closing the door behind him.

"What was that about?" Kurumu asked curiously earning shrugs from her friends.

Meanwhile outside of the classroom, Ichigo was having trouble trying not to fry Kisuke's ass with a cero.

"What the hell are you doing here, Hat n' Clogs?!" Ichigo whispered furiously.

"Doing my job," Kisuke replied sarcastically making Ichigo's eyebrow twitch.

"Alright, smartass, I'll give you to the count of cero," (Get it 'cero' which is Spanish for 'zero') Ichigo threatened as he started to 'discretely' charged the red orb of destruction on his fingertip. He had to say that he was no good at charging cero's before but now that he had reiatsu control down it was a breeze.

"Alright, alright, I decided to come here to investigate those collars that you found on the hollows you fought in that gym a couple weeks ago. We don't know where the technology came from but it was top secret in the Research and Development division. So we think there's a mole selling this tech to the monster world," Kisuke explained while Ichigo made an 'oh' shape with his mouth.

"Any idea who it is?" Ichigo asked.

"Not a clue," Kisuke replied while Ichigo sighed.

"How long are you gonna be here?" Ichigo asked the former shopkeeper.

"This is my new job. So I'll be here all-year-round staying in the teachers' dormitories," Kisuke said and Ichigo nodded. "You gotten into any fights yet?" the science teacher joked with a sly grin.

"A few. Discovering I could use reiatsu outside of my body a year ago really comes in handy here so the fights were nothing I couldn't handle," Ichigo responded making the former candy-shop owner nod.

"How have you been adjusting to the monster world, my protégée?" Kisuke asked as he waved his fan and Ichigo sighed.

"It's just different really. It's sorta like it's a human school except everyone here has their own abilities, monster forms, and other things. I'm adjusting, albeit slowly, but I'm adjusting," Ichigo responded.

"Speaking of humans, does any monster here know you're one?" Urahara asked.

"Only one. Moka Akashiya, a vampire," he said making the shopkeeper's eyes go wide.

"Never knew you to befriend a vampire, Ichigo…and a good looking one at that," Kisuke finished with a perverted leer.

"Shut the Hell up, Urahara! She's like a twentieth of your age!" Ichigo retorted angrily. "Damn pervert…" he muttered.

"I was just kidding, Ichigo. Calm yourself. Anyways, we need to get back into the classroom," Kisuke said as he opened the classroom door and walked inside with Ichigo in tow.

"What'd Kisuke want?" Yoruichi asked quietly as Ichigo sat in his seat.

"I'll tell you later," he said while he looked lazily at the dry-erase board while Urahara started the lesson on biology.

After Class…

"Now, class, as you probably heard Ms. Neko talking about earlier, we're opening up the clubs today. There's many different types of clubs. Swordsman clubs, boxing club, swim club, chess club, and a lot of others. Your entire next period will be focused on you finding a club. If all else fails, then the science club is open as well as the Newspaper club hosted by Ms. Nekonome! Now, off my students!" Kisuke said comically while pointing towards the door making the students sweatdrop.

After the students filed out of Kisuke's classroom, Ichigo spoke up. "I'm heading to the swordsman club. Should be fun," he grinned inwardly.

"I'm going, too!" Kurumu chirped making Ichigo smiled slightly but the smile was replaced by a blush as she pushed her breasts up against his bicep.

Yoruichi's demeanor changed from her new one to her old one as she mimicked Kurumu's actions and latched onto Ichigo's other arm. "I'm gonna go, too, I-chi-go," she smiled while he blushed even harder.

"This feels pretty nice," he grinned while the two women blushed heavily and sputtered.

"I'm gonna go check out the boxing club. I'll meet up with you guys later," Saizo said giving the group a backward wave as he walked down the hall.

"You coming, too, Moka?" Ichigo asked the vampire with a gentle smiled adorning his features.

"Yeah," she said simply as she walked a few steps behind him, unconsciously glaring daggers at the back of Yoruichi's and Kurumu's heads.

After about five minutes of walking, the group found themselves in front of a dojo-style door with the sign 'Swordsman Club' written on it.

"Looks like this is the place," Ichigo mumbled as he pushed open the double doors to reveal a gym-type area with bleachers on the opposite wall and a few members sparring with bokken.

"My, my, what do we have here?" a voice said in front of Ichigo. He looked around and saw no one there.

"Down here, you idiot!" the voice said and Ichigo looked down to see the red-haired girl from a couple weeks ago that captured the hollows. What was here name? Desh-something?

"Oh, sorry. You run this club?" Ichigo asked.

"Yep and I'm Deshiko Deshi, the best person with a sword in this entire school!" Deshiko announced proudly while Ichigo snorted.

"I don't think you're the best," Ichigo said while Kurumu looked at him funny. Moka ironically rolled her eyes at his arrogance.

"Oh, then who's better than me, Mr. Kurosaki?" Deshiko said as she twirled her bokken with her left hand.

"I'd normally be surprised how you know my name but I'll just let that slide. Anyways, I think I'm pretty good with a sword. Care for a spar?" Ichigo said with a smirk.

"And who would I be to shy away from a spar from the oh-so-mighty Ichigo Kurosaki?" she smirked while he rolled his eyes and caught a bokken thrown to him by her.

After a few minutes of getting loose from sitting ina seat for the past few periods, Ichigo took his stance across from Deshiko…which consisted of him putting his left hand in his pocket, putting his right foot forward, and raising his bokken so that the hilt was by his right hip and the tip of the sword was eyelevel with him.

"What kind of screwed up stance is that, Kurosaki?" Deshiko mocked while the rest of the swords tema chuckled lightly at the stance.

Moka, Kurumu, and Yoruichi sat on the bleachers while the rest of the people who were in the dojo-type gym were circled around the two.

"Ichigo seemed pretty confident back there…oh who am I kidding, he's my Ichigo, so I know he'll never lose!" Kurumu said a she cheered for Ichigo from the stands.

"I've learned something in the years I've known Ichigo," Yoruichi said making Moka look at her out of the corner of her crimson eyes.

"And what might that be? He doesn't really taste like a strawberry?" Moka chided with a grin while Yoruichi chuckled lightly. He tastes far better than that…DAMNIT STOP! Moka roared at the perverted voice inside her head.

"Nope, but I wouldn't doubt you," Yoruichi chuckled again as she looked dreamily at Ichigo. "What I've learned is you don't ever underestimate him."

Meanwhile with Ichigo…

Breathing: Calm, Stance: Leaves no openings…to the untrained eye, Facial Expression: Arrogant. Final synopsis: wipe the smirk off her face and teach the Public Safety Commission not to fuck with me.

"Alright, I'll be the ref for this. There will be no punching, grabbing, or eye-pecking. You may only use your bokken as your weapon. Are both fighters ready?" the proctor said receiving nods from both fighters. "BEGIN!"

Deshiko readied her bokken and charged the strawberry in an attempt to knock him out with a blow to the side of the head…only for her to be blocked a few inches away from his face with his own bokken.

She withdrew and jumped up the air about fifteen feet or so and brought an onslaught of wild strikes of which were all parried effectively.

"Damn, he's good," one club member said earning a couple nods from others.

Deshiko growled as Ichigo just side-stepped another one of her attacks. He seriously had only moved one foot the entire match…and that was when he side-stepped.

She roared as she jumped up and swung her bokken in a large arc to cleave the boy in two. The strike, however, was blocked while she was in mid swing. She then noticed that his eyes were closed. Had his eyes been closed the entire time?! He pushed her back and readied his bokken before opening his eyes and releasing a long yawn.

"How about you attack for once, Kurosaki?! Or are you a pansy?!" she mocked while some of the less intelligent club members laughed.

"You want me to attack? Alright," he said as he released a breath and put one step forward. Everyone tensed for a moment before he stepped right back into place.

"That was your attack?! That was pathetic-, " she was cut off as her bokken snapped in two and she fell to the ground, bruises popping up all over her body except her face. Ichigo's attack was too fast for anyone to track so the pain was also delayed.

The club members' jaw dropped and their eyes went wide at their fallen club leader.

Kurumu and Moka's eyes went wide before Kurumu went into a cheering fit for her Ichigo. Moka's eyes traveled over to the smirking form of Yoruichi. What do you know? The silver haired vampire thought before shaking her head free of the thoughts of the troublesome strawberry.

"W-Winner, Ichigo Kurosaki!" the ref said as he went over to the prone form of Deshiko Deshi.

Ichigo threw his bokken over to the nearest club member before walking past the crowd of fan-girls that he had acquired over the last couple of weeks that watched the fight.

Before he reached the stands he was jumped by Kurumu of who proceeded to rub her amble breasts in his face. "I didn't even see you move, Ichigo! You're so great, my destined one!" she smiled happily while Moka's eyebrow started to twitch in annoyance before she huffed, crossed her arms, and got up before pulling Kurumu off Ichigo rather abruptly.

"Hey, what the hell!?" Kurumu yelled at the vampire.

"We don't have all day to pick a club, succubus. And I'd rather not be put in the science club or newspaper club with that cat lady or the pervert. Because we decided to let Kurosaki here show off, we wasted half an hour," Moka said while Kurumu 'hmph'ed' and latched onto the now standing Ichigo's arm.

"Moka's j-e-a-l-o-u-s," Yoruichi taunted the vampire with a smirk while Moka blushed lightly.

"Shut up, Shihoin, I am not!" Moka yelled at the dark skinned Soul Reaper making Yoruichi stifle a grin and cackle.

"Moka's right, let's go find another club," Ichigo said as he started to walk out of the dojo-like gym.

"I thought that you wanted to join this club, Ichigo," Kurumu pondered her orange-haired friend.

"No one here gives me a challenge," he explained while Yoruichi smirked again.

"I doubt anyone could give you a challenge," Yoruichi laughed.

"I could, strawberry. Give me a bokken and I'll kick your ass. That other girl was trash," Moka smirked as he vampire pride kicked in.

"Alright, let me come back by here later and get a couple bokkens and you'll prove your point that you're better than me with a sword," Ichigo said sarcastically with a smirk.

"Alright, Ichigo, you're on!" Moka said excitedly as the group fully exited the swords club area.

Ichigo looked to the left of him to see a hallway with a sigh written in bold letters on a pink poster 'True Swords Club' with an arrow pointing to the left. Ichigo shrugged mentally as he decided to follow the sign. There was another sign right beside a regular classroom door and Ichigo opened it to find darkness.

"What the Hell is this?" Moka asked to no one in particular.

"Don't know," Ichigo responded as Kurumu hung to hard even tighter.

"I'm scared of the dark, Ichigo. Please protect me," she said with mock fear. That sneaky succubus…

"Don't worry, I got you," Ichigo said reassuring while Kurumu nuzzled to his side even more. The blue haired succubus looked back to see the glaring forms of Moka and Yoruichi making the succubus poke her tongue out at them.

After the four had all entered the strange room, the door suddenly shut behind them and it felt like the floor caved in. Next thing the four new they were falling.

"What the Hell!?" Ichigo and co. collectively yelled as he saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

Kurumu can fly, Yoruichi and I can get reiatsu under our feet, Moka can withstand high jumps but I don't think she can withstand this high up, Ichigo thought. If anyone were to have read said thoughts, then they would have been surprised at how he had deduced what to do so easily while remaining relatively calm.

Ichigo pushed himself off an invisible wall of reiatsu to scoop up the falling form of Moka.

"What the Hell do you think you're doing, Kurosaki?!" Moka yelled furiously as a blush adorned her pale cheeks at the strawberry.

"I'm helping you out, damnit! You woulda broken your legs from this high up!" Ichigo yelled back as the four landed, well in Kurumu's case hovered because of her wings, while Yoruichi and Ichigo slowed their fall with reiatsu from their feet.

Ichigo dropped to the ground and looked around to see a desert wasteland similar to Kisuke's training grounds

"Huh, what the Hell is this place?" Kurumu asked curiously as Ichigo shrugged, both he and Moka completely forgetting that she was still in his arms.

"This is the True Swords Club!" a very familiar voice said from behind Ichigo and co.

Ichigo turned around to see the grinning form of Kenpachi fucking Zaraki wearing a black tee, jeans, boots, and his nodachi on his shoulder.

"Oh, it's you, Ichigo! Care for a spar?" Kenpachi grinned as he flicked his sword. "I didn't realize you have a girlfriend, Ichigo…"

"Huh?" he looked down to see a very angry Moka in which he proceeded to sputter as she punched him in the face making him fly offinto the wall while Moka landed gracefully on her feet, an angry expression still on her face and her fist raised, though it would be important to remind everyone that she had a light blush on her face.

"Hey, strawberry!" Yachiru chirped from Kenpachi's shoulder.

"You know these, two, Ichigo?" Kurumu asked the now standing Ichigo of who was brushing himself free of dirt.

"Yeah. They're from my old town," Ichigo lied as he turned his gaze to Kenpachi. "Why'd they send you here?" Ichigo asked.

"Backup for the shopkeeper just in case things went south here. Ever since him, they've been really paranoid about things," Kenpachi explained, catching the silent hint that the other two (Moka and Kurumu) didn't know.

Ichigo chuckled. "I don't think I'll be joining your club, Kenpachi. But I will give you this," Ichigo said as he took out a piece of paper he conveniently had in his pocket and a pen before writing something on it and handing it to Kenpachi.

"See ya later, Kenpachi!" Ichigo said as he told Moka, Yoruichi, and Kurumu to grab onto his shirt before he shunpo'ed away.

"What's the note say, Kenny?" Yachiru chirped at her captain. The Squad Eleven Captain looked at the note.

Meet me out in the forest tonight for the 'spar.' Why am I accepting? I need a good workout to test my hollow abilities in my human body. This is also a coupon for five redeemable 'spars' good anywhere as long as we conclude on a joint location and time. See ya around, Kenpachi!

Kenpachi grinned evilly while Yachiru jumped for joy.

Meanwhile with Ichigo and Co…

"God, I hate you," Moka said breathlessly, not entirely used to the shunpo Ichigo used.

"His is faster than mine," Yoruichi said as she caught her breath.

"You alright, Kurumu?" Ichigo asked the blue haired succubus of which was on her back also catching her breath.

"Peachey…" Kurumu rolled her eyes as she stood up and dusted off her skirt.

"Looks like we're gonna have to find another club…" Ichigo said while the others groaned.

"Hey, I'm not gonna be put in a newspaper club with a crazy cat lady or perverted science teacher!" Ichigo countered while looking at Yoruichi at the 'crazy cat lady' part and chuckled nervously.

About twenty minutes later the group found themselves part of a much larger group while the swim team was discussing new members.

"C'mon and join the Swimming Club!" one member said enthusiastically.

"We'll treat all of you nicely, especially the male members," another said as she flipped her mesmerizingly.

Moka looked to the impassive form of Ichigo on the last sentence, secretly happy that he wasn't drooling at the sight of attractive women like the rest of the guys gathered around.

"Let's join the swimming club, Ichigo!" Kurumu said excitedly while Ichigo shrugged.

"You guys wanna check it out?" he said turning around to Moka and Yoruichi. The latter shrugged in acceptation and the former rolled her crimson eyes.

"You probably just want to look at the girls in swimsuits," Moka said with a sly grin.

Ichigo rolled his eyes. "I'm just gonna take that as a yes," he responded while Moka laughed at him.

He turned back around to see a woman with flowing turquoise hair, ample bosom, purple bikini top, purple wraparound skirt that reached her mid shin tied in the front showing off her long, silky, left leg. Ichigo blushed slightly as he pulled his head back. "Uh, can I help you with something?" Ichigo asked as the beautiful woman grinned slyly at him.

"Oh, aren't you a handsome one. I'm Tamao Ichinose, and you are?" she said as she put a hand on his chest making Kurumu, Yoruichi, and surprisingly Moka fume.

"Ichigo Kurosaki and it's nice to meet you Tamao," he smiled slightly which made her giggle.

"Are you interested in joining the swimming club?" Tamao asked the strawberry with a dazzling smile.

"Well we were just discussing it and-"

"That's good enough for me!" she said as she dragged him off to the pool area.

"How dare she lay a hand on my destined one!"

"How dare she lay a hand on Ichigo!"

"She needs to know her place!"

(Guess the order)

And with that just about everyone went off to the pool area.

In the changing room, Ichigo had just put on his swim trunks and was about to take off his T-Shirt before looking in the mirror in the changing area. He noticed all his scars and sighed.

"I'll never enjoy swimming anywhere again because of all this," he said to no one in particular as he pulled his shirt back down and exited the changing area.

He looked around to see Kurumu and Yoruichi both in two-piece bikinis. Yoruichi wearing an arrange one and Kurumu wearing a blue on. He blushed slightly and they did as well as they noticed his gaze. He snapped out of it to glare at some passing males that were staring at Yoruichi and Kurumu.

"Where's Moka?" Ichigo questioned.

"She was changing last time I saw her," Yoruichi responded as she noticed Ichigo wearing a T-Shirt and became slightly angry at what the spirit world had done to him.

"Oh, there she is," Ichigo said as he looked at the silver-haired Moka of who was also wearing a purple two-piece bikini, her hair tie up in a bun. He had to say that she looked really cute.

"What are you looking at, you idiot?" Moka said coldly while Ichigo chuckled.

"Well, you being the way you are, I never expected you to wear a two-piece hehe," Ichigo said nervously while Moka blushed slightly.

"God, you're a dumbass," she said as she walked past him towards the pool, fully aware that she couldn't even get in the water.

Ichigo turned back around to see the glaring forms of Kurumu and Yoruichi.

"What? You two look really good, too," he said with a slight grin making them blush.

About ten minutes later you would find Ichigo and Moka by the poolside, both on towels while the latter was under an umbrella and the former glaring at anyone who looked at Yoruichi, Moka, or Kurumu like a piece of meat. He knew full well why he was being so protective, but he wouldn't let it show…at least not directly of course.

"C'mon, Ichigo! Go for a swim!" Kurumu yelled from inside the pool.

"Nah, it's fine. I'm just gonna sit this one out, Kurumu," Ichigo said sheepishly while Moka narrowed her eyes at him, noticing a few scars lining his exposed forearms, and biceps.

"Why won't you swim?" she asked him the first direct question ever since they sat down together, holding the question about the scars for later.

"Just don't feel like swimming is all," Ichigo responded. "Why don't you swim?"

"Vampires can only get in water that has herbs we add to it because regular water has purifying abilities that make us weak," she explained.

Ichigo made an 'oh' with his mouth, himself not even opening his eyes as he crossed his arms behind his head.

She rolled her eyes at him and asked another question. "I've seen you work out before and I know full well that you are very strong and have a nice…body at least from what you've exposed anyway, but why not show it off for some of the women around here and take your shirt off?" she asked with a slight blush at the 'nice body' part but pushed it aside, him not even acknowledging the beginning of the sentence.

"I don't want to get sunburnt," he replied making her narrow her eyes again bringing forth the question she stowed away earlier.

"Why do you have scars on your arms? Is it that you have some on your chest as well that you don't want other people to see?" she said as he opened his eyes and looked at his arms and cursed.

Before he could respond, he heard screaming from the pool. He sat up from his laying position to see…fish women in the pool seemingly draining life from male students?

"What the hell?" he questioned as he stood up to see Yoruichi and Kurumu running to him, themselves out of the pool. "What are those monsters called?" Ichigo questioned and Yoruichi spoke up.

"They're Mermaids," Yoruichi said and Ichigo went to a 'dafuq' expression.

"I thought Mermaids were nice and gentle like Ariel or something," he said referencing a Disney movie which made the nearest Mermaid narrow her eyes at him, that Mermaid being Tamao.

"You have spent far too much time in the human world, Ichigo. We draw in males with our looks and suck the life from them, adding to our own. However…there are special cases where we take male mates," Tamao said from the water, her mouth showing many rows of sharp teeth. He could see that she still had her top on, but he could also see that she had a mermaid tail. "C'mon in the water, Ichigo, and let's make it to where there are more mermaids in the world," she said as seductively as she could in her Mermaid form. Before Ichigo could even hope to respond, Kurumu turned into her succubus form and charged at Tamao.

"Ichigo doesn't want you kids, minnow!" Kurumu yelled as she knocked Tamao on the far side of the pool.

"Looks like someone's protective of you," Yoruichi joked. "I'll go help a few of the other guys still stuck in he pool," she said as she jumped from the edge and put a kick to the head of a Mermaid about to suck the life out of a boy.

"Awh, a man who gets protected by a bunch of women, that's cute," Moka smirked.

"Can it, Akashiya. Remember, I can still kick your ass," Ichigo retorted with a smirk.

"Oh really? I bet you'd like that," Moka retorted with a sly smirk, but also kind of pissed that this human sized her up.

"And what if I would?" Ichigo grinned while he jumped in the water leaving a sputtering and blushing Moka.

"Damnit, Ichigo!" she cursed the strawberry, not about to be out done by him.

Meanwhile with Kurumu…

"What'd you call me, succubus?!" Tamao said as she jumped out of the water to swipe at Kurumu of which got hit with a shallow cut on her left leg.

"I said 'minnow', or do you have seaweed stuck in your ears!" Kurumu retorted as she flew at Tamao and landed a kick on the Mermaid, making Tamao skid across the water about ten feet or so.

Tamao was about to be hit again before she went under the water. Kurumu looked around before she registered that Tamao was directly under her. The Mermaid jumped out of the water to slap Kurumu in the back with her tail.

With Yoruichi…

"God, these Mermaids just keep coming and coming!" the former captain said to no one in particular as she punched away another swim team members.

"Mermaids are invincible in water!" one member said from behind Yoruichi of which got kicked away with a roundhouse and into the far side of the pool.

"Oh, sure, and I'm holding off all of you single handedly, sure you're invincible," she said before doing a fly kick to send another Mermaid away.

With Moka…

She grit her teeth for being so helpless at the current time. She then spotted an opening for an attack with Kurumu and Tamao, so she ran over to the duo that were currently duking it out with each other.

She jumped up about ten feet right before Kurumu was about to get hit, and kicked Tamao right back in the water.

Kurumu blinked before noticing that Moka was about to fall in. Being the good friend she was she grabbed Moka's hands and propelled her towards the edge of the pool making her land gracefully.

"I would have been fine," Moka said making Kurumu roll her eyes.

"Yeah, sure," Kurumu responded sarcastically as Tamao resurfaced from the water with a growl. The Mermaid was about to leap before a voice called out.

With Ichigo…

"Hey! Over here!" Ichigo yelled making all present eyes turn towards him. "Let all of the rest go, and I'll take the pain for them. Let these guys go!" Ichigo yelled towards the Mermaids.

Tamao suddenly lost interest in the fight and began to swim towards Ichigo as well as the rest of the Mermaids.

"Hey, minnow get back here and fight!" Moka yelled yet the only result was being ignored by Tamao.

You sure are brave, Ichigo, Tamao thought with a smile as she swam to about ten feet in front of Ichigo, the rest of the mermaids behind her, each licking their lips for a taste at the delicious looking man.

"You got enough life force to go around, Ichigo?" Tamao questioned the strawberry.

"How about you find out?" Ichigo responded making a 'bring it on' motion with his hand.

"I prefer my men to be shirtless so I have more of an area to bite. Ibiki!" Tamao announced with a snap of her webbed fingers. Not a millisecond later a Mermaid from behind Ichigo sprang up from the water to attempt to get the white tee off of Ichigo. His response wasn't fast enough to stop her from taking swipe at him…taking his shirt in the process, though the result was a kick to the abdomen for the unlucky Mermaid.

He looked down and scowled.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him. Everyone's eyes widened including Moka's.

"Oh my…" Tamao said as she laid eyes on his finely sculpted yet very scarred chest.

"I-I've never seen so many scars," Kurumu said with wide eyes. She didn't know whether to drool at the sight of his chest or comfort him. He obviously didn't want anyone seeing all of that.

Moka couldn't speak as she laid eyes on the circular scar that was in the dead center of his chest.

Yoruichi scowled as well. It was obvious that he was trying to hide that by not going inside the pool.

Ichigo shook his head from all of the stares. It didn't matter now. He spoke four words. "Bakudo #4 Haiwana," he said with an outstretched hand and impassive voice as a yellow rope shot from his hand and wrapped around the group of Mermaids making the scream and thrash except for Tamao, still thinking about where he got all of those scars.

Ichigo turned around to see one Kisuke Urahara with a white tee-shirt in hand and impassive look on his face. He knew that Ichigo's scars were a touchy subject for him, especially when people were ignorant to how he got them.

The strawberry climbed out of the pool while Kisuke threw the shirt at him. Ichigo caught it and slipped it on before heading to the changing rooms after Moka , Tamao, and Kurumu realized that the large circular scar went through and through his body. He then left leaving four speechless women, many thrashing mermaids, a questioning crowd, and a shopkeeper / teacher.

REVIEW!

A/N I know Ichigo probably wouldn't act like that but I would if random people see my scarred up chest. Anywho, as you might have noticed Tamao needs some Ichigo love, as well so she's in the harem. About four other Rosario women will be added as well. And MAYBE a couple Bleach girls, I don't know.

See you guys next time, so LEAVE A REVIEW!

PEACE! :D
