Chapter 4
Ichigo woke up looking out the window seeing that it was a peaceful day, the sun was out, and a few clouds were here and there. He got up from bed putting his school uniform on and headed downstairs.
"Morning Ichigo." Yuzu called out.
"Morning." Ichigo smiled seeing that today was going to be a good day.
"I would stay for breakfast but I need to get going."
"Oh…alright, well, have a good day Ichigo." Yuzu and Karin said.
"I will." He smiled.
Ichigo walked out of the house and was wondering what was missing back there.
"Good morning Ichigo!"
Ichigo turned around to see his dad charging at him. Ichigo quickly moved to his side but his dad held out his arm to his side knocking Ichigo down.
"What the hell?" Ichigo yelled.
"Got you this time son."
Ichigo got up, "You seriously need to stop this, it's annoying, but yet, it can be funny at times though." Ichigo said while smiling.
"That's the spirit son, looking at the bright side of it, the fun of it and…" His dad was cut off.
Ichigo quickly kicked his dad on the side of the head sending him flying.
"Looks like you let your guard down."
Ichigo looked at his dad laying on the ground snoring, "Hmph, typical dad." He smiled and made his way to school.
"Ichigo!" He looked behind him seeing Orihime calling him.
Orihime caught up to him, "Mind if I walk with you?" She asked.
He smiled, "Not at all."
"Great." She smiled back as well.
They kept walking towards school as an awkward silence came upon them.
"So…Ichigo…"
"Hmm?"
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, I just put that aside trying to ignore about it."
"Oh, that's good." She replied while she kept a worrying look on her.
He looked at her, "Are you alright?"
She snapped out of her thoughts, "Oh, yes I'm fine." She put a fake smile on.
"Orihime."
"Yes?"
"You can't hide it from me, I can tell something's worrying you and if it's me, don't worry about it. From here on out, nothing's going to happen to me." He smiled.
She kept staring at him seeing the confidence in him and smiled.
Ichigo and Orihime finally arrived in school as they walked into the class and took their seats.
"Ichigo Kurosaki, what are you doing here?" The teacher asked.
"Oh crap that's right." He said to himself.
"Well teacher, if you don't mind, I would like to talk about this after class and just not worry about anything." Ichigo suggested.
The teacher thought about it, "Alright, come talk to me after class then."
A knock came from the class door as the teacher made her way to it and opened it. Ichigo's eyes widen seeing that it was Ulquiorra, "What the fuck is he still doing here?" He thought to himself.
Most the class laid their attention on Ichigo wondering if he was going to make his move, but Ichigo just ignored him and turned his head the other way.
"Well, glad that you could join us Mr. Cifer." The teacher said.
Yoruichi quickly switched seats and moved next to Ichigo making sure Ulquiorra doesn't take it.
"Thank you." Ulquiorra said making his way down the rows sitting down in a seat behind Ichigo.
Ichigo tried to keep his cool and not make a show go on.
Hours later.
The bell rang for lunch as some of the class stormed their way to Ulquiorra. Ichigo got up and went up to Yoruichi, "We usually eat up on the roof." He told her.
"Yeah I know, Orihime and Rukia told us yesterday after your…little incident."
Ichigo sighed wishing she didn't say that, "Well anyway, I'll meet you up there." Yoruichi said as she walked off with Kukaku and Soifon.
Ichigo trailed his eyes over looking at the three's ass getting lost in his mind.
"Yoruichi, Soifon, don't look at him but, Ichigo's checking us out." Kukaku said giggling.
Yoruichi and Soifon giggled as well planning something they should do to him.
"Ichigo!" Keigo went up to him and realized what he was doing.
"Ichigo, you horn dog, wake up."
Ichigo shook his head snapping out of it, "What did you say?"
"I just came by asking what was going on, but since I saw what you were really doing checking those three out."
Ichigo punched Keigo on top of his head, "Shut up!" Ichigo looked making sure that Yoruichi and the others weren't there, which they weren't.
Keigo rubbed the top of his head, "Oh lighten up Ichigo, so what if they saw you checking them out."
Ichigo punched him again, "Ow ow ow ow!" Keigo yelled.
"Stop trying to make me be the center of attention and also…" Ichigo stopped what he was saying and caught Ulquiorra's kick.
"Trying to do a sneak attack huh? Pretty pathetic if you asked me." Ichigo twisted his foot and threw him to the side causing him to slam into a few desks.
Keigo stepped back from the two. Ulquiorra got back up and charged at Ichigo, "I don't know what your problem is, but you're not going to win this time. I promise you that."
The rest of the students stopped what they were doing and turned their attention onto the fight.
"Ichigo! Show him who he's messing with." Keigo yelled out.
Keigo yelled that so loud that students in the hallway ran to the classroom to see what was going on.
"Fight fight fight!" The students kept cheering it on.
Yoruichi and the others kept walking their way to the roof till someone bumped into Yoruichi, "Sorry, just getting a bit curious of who's fighting." The student said while the continued running toward the classroom.
Yoruichi and the others looked at each other assuming they knew who it was and ran back toward the classroom.
Ichigo kept landing punches on Ulquiorra easily and which Ulquiorra hasn't laid one on him.
"Go Ichigo!" Keigo cheered him on.
Ulquiorra held his arms up covering his face trying to block every punch of Ichigo's. Ichigo kept swinging at him then dropped kicked him causing him to fall on one of the desk.
"What's the matter? Lose your fighting skills? Or are you not as tough when I really focus on the fight?" Ichigo taunted him while he stood their staring down at Ulquiorra.
Ulquiorra just remained the way he was and just sat there giving Ichigo a death glare.
"You're done, you can't fight anymore." Ichigo said as he turned his back to him.
Yoruichi and the others came into the classroom to see that Ichigo won.
"Yay Ichigo!" Keigo yelled out.
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi screamed.
Everyone gasped at Ulquiorra seeing that he got up and pulled out a pocketknife out. Ulquiorra brought his arm around Ichigo's side and stabbed it deep into his stomach.
"ICHIGO!" Keigo yelled.
Ichigo looked down at his stomach seeing blood soaking his shirt, "Heh…another…cheap move…"
"What's going on in…Ulquiorra Cifer!" The teacher yelled.
Everyone turned their looks over to the teacher, "Ulquiorra Cifer get out of this school right now!" The teacher demanded.
Ulquiorra sighed and lifted the knife up making the cut longer and then left it in Ichigo. Ichigo placed his hand on his stomach adding pressure to the cut to try to slow down the bleeding. He pulled out the knife tossing it away as Ulquiorra slowly walked out of the class glaring at Ichigo. Everyone turned their attention to Ichigo as Yoruichi and the others went up to him, "Ichigo, are you alright?" Yoruichi asked.
"Yeah…I'll be fine." He kept his hands on the cut as blood kept pouring out.
"Mr. Kurosaki, you better head down to the nurse." The teacher suggested.
"No, I'll take care of it." He said as he got up and walked out the class heading to the restroom.
"I can't believe something like this happened to ICHIGO!" Keigo yelled.
"He'll be fine, he has been through worse." Yoruichi told him.
"Worse?" Keigo was confused.
"Ugh… what she means is like…" Kukaku couldn't think of anything to say.
"She means in worse fights." Soifon said.
"How would you three know? You're new here." Keigo was becoming suspicious.
"We've known Ichigo for years although we didn't go to the same school as he did." Yoruichi said.
"Oh." Was all Keigo could say.
Ichigo walked into the restroom taking his shirt off and turning the sink on. He cupped up some water into his hands and poured it onto his cut. "Damn! It burns." He said to himself.
"Ichigo?"
He turned around to see Chad.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Got in another fight with Ulquiorra and the bastard pulled out a knife and cut me." He answered him.
"I'll go get some alcohol for you so you can clean that out." Chad said as he ran out of the restroom.
Ichigo kept pouring water onto his cut trying to slow down the bleeding. One of the stall doors opened, "I'm afraid I have to finish the job."
Ichigo turned around, "What the hell? You were here this whole time?"
Ulquiorra pulled out another knife, "I'm afraid that this is the end for you and I'm going to make sure of it."
Ulquiorra charged at Ichigo but then was sent flying, "Chad!" Ichigo yelled.
"Here's the alcohol." He handed it to Ichigo.
Chad turned back facing Ulquiorra, "Seeing how this is a real classic fight without any powers, I got the upper hand this time." Chad said.
Ulquiorra looked over at Chad, "You maybe right, but it doesn't mean you'll win."
Ulquiorra charged at Chad stabbing the knife into his arm, "Chad!" Ichigo yelled.
Chad looked at the knife and then back at Ulquiorra. He lifted up Ulquiorra by the collar with his right arm and threw him out the door of the restroom. All the students in the hallway gasped seeing that Ulquiorra was still here. Ulquiorra was resting against the wall that he was thrown at, while all the students were watching. Chad came walking out the restroom and looked down at Ulquiorra, "I think it's about time you leave." He suggested.
"I'll make sure you'll die as well with Ichigo." Ulquiorra said.
Chad stood there staring down at Ulquiorra feeling sorry for him. Ulquiorra got up and charged at Chad, "You just won't give up will you?" Chad said.
Ulquiorra held out his arm getting ready to stab Chad again, but then was sent flying again by a kick. Chad looked to his side, "Uryu."
"Don't worry about it. I really don't like this guy either."
Ulquiorra was getting annoyed with the people that kept interfering. He threw the knife at Uryu while Chad caught it with his hand and crushed it into pieces.
"Thanks Chad." Uryu said.
"Don't mention it."
They both turned their attention back at Ulquiorra.
Ulquiorra got back up on his feet while all the students turned their attention to him as well, "Alright, don't think that this is the last time you'll see me." Ulquiorra said as he vanished.
"What?" A student said.
"How did he do that?"
"He just vanished."
Students were shocked to see another trick of Ulquiorra's.
Ichigo came out of the restroom with his shirt wrapped around his wound, "Are you alright?" Uryu asked.
"Yeah I'm fine."
Some of the girls were whispering things to each other seeing that Ichigo's shirt was off.
"Ugh…Ichigo." Chad said.
"Yeah I know." He replied.
Chad handed Ichigo his jacket as Ichigo put it on.
"Aww Ichigo." One of the girls said.
"Sorry ladies, I don't go around in public like this." He said.
Yoruichi and the others finally appeared to see what was going on, "Ichigo!" Yoruichi called out.
Ichigo turned around seeing Yoruichi and the others walking over to him.
"Are you alright?" Kukaku asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." He answered.
They looked at his wound, "The blood's still stained on your shirt." Soifon said.
"I know, but it's not bleeding anymore, I cleaned it and covered it with my shirt."
"That's good, at least it's not bleeding anymore." Yoruichi said.
"Yeah…"
The girls kept whispering things to each other, "Ichigo! Take that jacket off!" One of the girls said.
"Ichigo, how about you come over and let me clean that cut of yours?" Another girl student asked.
Yoruichi was getting ticked along with Kukaku and Soifon seeing how they were trying to flirt with him.
"Come on Ichigo, I'll make sure that I clean it all up." The same girl said as she winked at him.
Yoruichi grabbed Ichigo's hand and walked away from them along with Soi Fon and Kukaku.
"Yoruichi?" Ichigo asked.
"Ichigo!" Keigo yelled.
"Whoa, so now they want you?" Keigo asked as he saw Yoruichi holding onto Ichigo's hand with Soifon and Kukaku next to him.
Kukaku went up to Keigo as she placed a hand on his head, "Were just going to punish him a little." She said as she winked at him and then punched Keigo on top of his head.
"Ouch! Ichigo, you horn dog, try not to get too crazy." Keigo said.
Ichigo blushed as he heard what Kukaku said; "You're going to do what to me?" He asked.
"Oh nothing." Kukaku waved her hands and smiled.
They walked back into the classroom, "After school is over, I say we go swimming." Kukaku suggested.
Soifon and Yoruichi looked at each other and smiled, "Count us in." They both said.
Ichigo just stood there listening to their conversation as he sat back down in his seat. Soi Fon walked up to Ichigo, "Don't think you're not coming, cause if you don't, I'll make sure to torture you." She said in a demanding way but smiled.
Ichigo remained wide-eyed hearing what Soifon had said wondering what she would do. The teacher walked back in the class, "Ok class, and let's continue shall we? Oh, and Ichigo, how's that wound?" She asked.
"It's fine." He answered.
Soifon and the others took their seat.
"That's good." The teacher said.
Rukia was writing a note, as she didn't feel like paying attention to the teacher. She folded it up and passed it over to Ichigo, which he was clueless of what she wanted.
He unfolded the letter, "Ichigo, we're all going swimming after school, Orihime, Yoruichi, Rangiku, and the others. If you don't come, I'm going to make sure you'll be in trouble for not coming; this time I'll make sure you don't get all ticked or anything."
Ichigo finished reading the letter and crumbled it up and tossed it into the trash then looked over at Rukia with a curious look by what she meant by "Trouble".
Hours Later.
The bell rang dismissing everyone from school, as Yoruichi and the others ran out of the class heading home to get ready. Ichigo decided that it would be best to go and relax from everything that has happened. He got up from his seat and realized he was the only one in the classroom, "Wow, everyone sure was in a rush." He told himself.
Ichigo dropped his backpack feeling someone's spiritual pressure coming his way. A garganta opened up in front of him, Ichigo was getting ready to fight but then realized that it wasn't Aizen. His eyes widened seeing who it was, "Itsygo!" Nel yelled out and jumped right at him wrapping him into a hug.
"Nel? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I came to tell you that in three days, Aizen plans to set an attack on you."
His eyes widened, "Who's he sending?"
"He's sending Ulquiorra, Gin, and Kaname."
He froze in his spot, "Gin and Kaname?"
Nel's eyes softened and began to worry about Ichigo, "Yes."
"Damn it."
"Itsygo, I was wanting to stay here for now on."
"Why?"
"Because, if I go back, he'll find out where I was and that I told you. Then he'll end up killing me."
Nel began to form tears in her eyes.
"I just don't want you to die Itsygo." Tears started to fall down her cheeks.
Ichigo pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her waist, "It's ok, you can stay at my place."
Nel smiled feeling safe with him, "Oh Itsygo!" She tightened the hug.
"Nel! You're… squeezing to… hard."
"Oh, sorry." She smiled and let go of him.
"We just need to find a Gigai for you."
"This is my Gigai." She smiled.
"How did you get one already?"
"Aizen…"
"Oh yeah, that explains how Ulquiorra's here now."
Nel's eyes widened, "He's already here?"
"He's been here, Aizen made him become a student at my school."
"But anyway, let's go, I'll let my dad know that you'll be staying with us for awhile."
Nel smiled and wrapped herself around Ichigo's right arm.
Location: Kurosaki's Clinic.
Ichigo opened the door to his house and realized that no one was home.
"Hmm, they maybe out shopping or something." He told Nel.
He walked up the stairs with Nel and into his room, "You can sleep in my bed, I'll just sleep on the pallet I made a couple days ago since it's still here."
Ichigo's phone rang; he picked it up, "Hello?"
"Where are you?" Rukia asked.
"At home."
"Well hurry up, we're all here at the pool and you're still not here."
"Oh, I forgot about that."
"What do you mean you forgot!"
"I'll be there in a bit."
"You better."
Ichigo hung up, "Nel, you want to stay here or come to the pool with us?"
"I think I'll stay here."
"You sure you want to stay here by yourself?"
"I'll be fine." She said smiling.
"Well, ok then, if you change your mind, it's not to far from here."
Ichigo went to his closet taking the jacket that Chad let him borrow off. Nel sat on his bed watching Ichigo undress himself. He unwrapped the shirt he had wrapped around his cut tossing it aside. Nel looked at the shirt, "Itsygo, what happened?"
Ichigo turned around, "What do you mean what happened?"
Nel pointed at his shirt which was still covered in blood, "Oh…that, well, Ulquiorra and I got in a fight at school earlier today."
Ichigo turned back around and took off his pants. Nel blushed seeing Ichigo only in his boxer. She got up from his bed and walked over to Ichigo, as she turned him around wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him on his lips. Ichigo's eyes widened and didn't know what to do, but he wrapped his arms around her waist. Nel lead him away from the closet and to his bed.
Ichigo unwrapped his arms off her waist, "Wait, Nel, we can't." Ichigo said.
Nel pulled away a bit, "Why not?"
"I promised everyone that I would be at the pool."
Nel frowned then sighed, "Fine."
"I'm sorry Nel."
He went back to his closet and grabbed his Orange trunks and put it on. He grabbed a plain white t-shirt putting that on as well.
"I'll be back later Nel." He walked to her and kissed her then left.
Nel blushed and really wanted him just now but she laid down on his bed and decided to take a nap to pass the time.
Location: Pool.
Everyone was enjoying themselves swimming, chatting, and the relaxation.
"Where is he?" Yoruichi asked Rukia.
"He said he was coming, but seeing that it's Ichigo, I doubt that he'll…"
Ichigo finally appeared, "Ichigo!" Keigo yelled.
"Keigo? What are you doing here?"
"The whole class came."
Ichigo looked around and realized that Keigo was right. He saw the girls that were flirting with him back in the hallway when he didn't cover himself up.
"Come on Ichigo now it's time to enjoy the fun." Keigo said then ran and jumped into the pool.
Ichigo smiled seeing how everyone was having fun, "Ichigo!"
Ichigo turned around to see Rukia calling him; she was wearing a two-piece swimsuit, short jean shorts, and a black top piece. He walked over to her, "Hey."
She slapped him, "Ouch! What was that for?"
"For taking so damn long to get here, what else did you think?"
Orihime giggled at how Rukia was a bit upset.
Ichigo sighed, "Well sorry that I had something to take care of first."
Orihime was wearing a two-piece swimsuit that was colored completely orange. She walked up to Ichigo and Rukia; "Well can we at least enjoy the fun now?" She asked.
Ichigo smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Yoruichi joined in, "About time you came Ichigo."
"Well yeah, seeing how…" He finally turned around seeing Yoruichi and was amazed of her sight. She was wearing a purple two-piece swimsuit with a black butterfly on each side.
"Ichigo?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, but yeah I had to take care of something first."
Kukaku joined in along with Soifon, "About damn time." Kukaku said as she slapped him on the back of the head.
"Will you cut it…" He stopped as he was enjoying the sight he was seeing; Kukaku was wearing a two-piece suit which was a crimson red color which looked pretty small on her seeing how big her breast were. Soifon was wearing a two-piece as well, which was colored white.
"We're just going to steal Ichigo for a moment." Yoruichi said as she put her hands on his shoulders leading him to the pool as Kukaku and Soifon followed.
"So, you decided to come huh?" Yoruichi asked.
"Well, I'm here aren't I?"
Yoruichi smiled and stopped at the edge of the pool, "Well, yep." She turned him around facing her as she moved closer on him a couple inches away from making lip contact while Ichigo was blushing.
"Now, we can…have some fun!" She yelled as she pushed Ichigo into the pool.
Yoruichi giggled as Kukaku and Soi Fon were laughing. Ichigo came up from under the water, "Damn it Yoruichi." He said.
They kept laughing at him as Ichigo took his soaked shirt off and threw it out of the pool. Yoruichi, Kukaku, and Soifon stared at his rock hard abs and were getting lost in their minds. Yoruichi, Kukaku, and Soifon looked at each other and nodded to one another as they jumped in after Ichigo.
"Crap." Ichigo said to himself knowing what they were going to do as he swam away.
One of the girls from the hallway that were flirting stopped Ichigo, "Ichigo, you still want to come over and let me take care of you?" She asked him as she placed her hands on his shoulders.
"I ugh… no." He said and continued swimming away.
Yoruichi came up from under the water and appeared in front of Ichigo.
"Damnit." He said and swam back the other way but then was stopped while Soifon wrapped her arms around his lower mid section rubbing his abs.
"Damn." He broke free and swam a different direction and then felt someone behind him.
Kukaku went under and took Ichigo's trunks off and held them up high, "I got his trunks!" Kukaku yelled out.
"Damn it Kukaku." Ichigo said then was glad that he at least he had his boxers still on.
All the girls looked over to Ichigo and then at Kukaku's hand which she still had his trunks in her hands. The girls pulled out their waterproof cameras, "Damn it." Ichigo said as he quickly grabbed his trunks out of Kukaku's hand and quickly put them back on before they could take the pictures.
"Oh come on Ichigo." Kukaku said.
"I don't want everyone seeing me in my boxers." He said.
Kukaku sighed, "Fine, but Soifon, Yoruichi, and I get to see even more later." She said in a seductive tone.
Ichigo blushed hearing her comment. Yoruichi and Soi Fon swam over to Kukaku and Ichigo. Yoruichi wrapped her arms around his lower mid section and slid her hand down his trunks, "Oh my Ichigo, you know having an erection her at the pool can be highly noticeable." She whispered into his ear.
Rangiku walked over to Rukia, "Rukia, how come you're not swimming?"
"Because, Yoruichi, Kukaku, and Soifon are have their fun with Ichigo right now." She answered.
"Hmm, how about we join in on the fun then?" Rangiku smiled grabbing Rukia's hand.
"Well, now that you mention it. The more he gets attention from us, the more he's going to have to give in." Rukia smiled and ran towards the pool with Rangiku then jumped in.
Yoruichi took her hand out from his trunks, "You know today's the day." She whispered into Ichigo's ear again.
"What do you mean?" He asked her.
Rangiku and Rukia joined in with them, "Wait a sec, I thought you were still mad at me Rangiku?" Ichigo asked her curiously.
"Nah, I don't hold grudges long." She smiled.
The girls started to surround Ichigo, "Ugh… what are you all planning?" Ichigo blushed.
"Oh nothing…" Yoruichi said as she placed her hand back down into his trunks.
Kukaku wrapped her arms around his lower mid section whispering things into his ears. Soifon wrapped herself around Ichigo's right arm as Rangiku wrapped herself around his left arm and Rukia leaned in on Ichigo's front side.
Keigo just kept watching Ichigo and how all the girls were on him, "Man, Ichigo sure is lucky." He said to himself.
Hours later.
The sun started to set; most of the class left the pool while some of them stayed for more.
Ichigo's face was covered with kiss marks while he was drying himself off, "Ichigo!" Keigo yelled.
"What?"
"You're such a player, scoring the three new girls along with Rangiku and Rukia."
Ichigo blushed and wiped the kiss marks off his face with a towel, "I don't know what to say."
"They're coming."
"Who?" Ichigo asked and turned around seeing who which of course it was Yoruichi and the other girls.
Ichigo sighed, "Can't I ever get a break?" He asked Yoruichi and the others.
Yoruichi walked up to him as she cupped her own breast and fondled them around, "You mean to tell me you want a break from these?"
Ichigo and Keigo flushed red seeing what she was doing.
"Ugh…I mean…" Ichigo couldn't finish his sentence.
Keigo started to have a nose bleed since he has never seen a girl act like that in front of him. Yoruichi stopped and grabbed his hand, "Come on, we're going to have some fun." She said in a seductive tone as her and the other girls lead him away from the pool.
"I'll see you later Keigo!" Ichigo yelled out before they left.
"Ok…man he's really lucky." He thought to himself.
A hand was placed on Keigo's shoulder, "You must be Keigo Asano." The mysterious voice said.
Keigo turned around as his eyes widened in fear as he gulped, "Ul…quiorra…"
"You're coming with me."
"No thanks, I need to get home…"
"I'm afraid you have no choice."
Keigo gulped again as Ulquiorra grabbed Keigo by the shoulder, "Ichigo!" He yelled out.
Ichigo could hear Keigo's call, "It's Keigo, and he's in trouble."
"Oh don't worry about it, I'm sure he's just yelling your name because he's jealous that you got all of us." Kukaku said.
Ichigo could feel someone's spiritual pressure nearby where Keigo was, "No, he's really in trouble."
Ichigo ran back to the pool and when he got there he saw Ulquiorra walking off with Keigo over his shoulder unconscious.
"Let him go!"
Ulquiorra turned around, "I'd rather not."
Ichigo ran after Ulquiorra while he just kept staring at Ichigo with an annoyed look. Two figures appeared in front of Ulquiorra, "We meet again Ichigo Kurosaki."
Ichigo's eyes widen, "Gin…" He looked at the other person next to him, "Kaname…"
"I'm afraid you must come with us as well." Gin said.
Ichigo pressed his soul badge on him and turned into his soul reaper form, "That's not going to happen."
Ichigo grabbed for his sword holding it out in front of him, "Bankai."
An enormous amount of spirit pressure spun around him as his sword changed into a black katana.
Yoruichi and the others could feel his spiritual pressure rising fast, "He wasn't lying." Rukia said.
"We better go help him." Rangiku suggested.
The girls all ran back toward the pool.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo swung his sword down as it shot out a black and crimson outlined color blast shot toward Gin.
Yoruichi could see the explosion from where they were at, "We need to hurry." Soifon said.
Ichigo couldn't see through the smoke but then saw Gin's sword aiming right at him as it shot toward him. Ichigo quickly move to the side to avoid it, "Was that all your blast could do?" Gin asked.
Ichigo was getting ticked but then he felt Yoruichi and the others getting close. He sent some of his spiritual pressure toward them.
"We're almost there." Yoruichi said.
Ichigo's spirit pressure came at them blowing them away telling them to leave. The girls crossed their arms blocking their face, "I can tell by this he means he doesn't want us coming." Soifon said.
Yoruichi was getting worried of what may happen to him, "It's best we get away from here and try to watch from somewhere else." Rukia said.
"Yeah…you're right." Yoruichi said as the girls ran back to Ichigo's place.
Minutes later, the girls appeared at Ichigo's and went up to the roof watching from there, "I hope he'll be alright." Rangiku said.
Ulquiorra put down Keigo and decided to join in the fight, "It would be best to make this quick." He suggested.
"Enclose, Murcielago." Ulquiorra said as black wings appeared on his back.
Ichigo placed his hand over his face and slid it down as his hollow mask appeared on him.
"Gin…Ulquiorra, allow me." Kaname said.
"Oh? Alright." Gin said as him and Ulquiorra backed up.
Kaname pulled out his sword, "Cry."
A high pitched tone started to cover Ichigo, "That won't work!" Ichigo yelled.
Ichigo just stood there as the toned vanished, "What?"
"I told you, it wouldn't work."
"Benihiko." Hundreds of blades surrounded Kaname and then shot down at Ichigo.
Ichigo swung his katana several times blocking all the blades that came shooting at him, "That move won't work as well." Ichigo said.
Kaname was getting annoyed, "Alright then, I'll end this."
"Bankai."
Kaname held up his sword in his right hand, and placed his left palm against the ring on his crossguard. The ring began to spin as it releases spiritual energy the faster it spins the circle then grows bigger and bigger until it's the same height as Kaname. The ring then splits into 10 large glowing rings that encircle around Kaname. With a slash of his sword the circles go flying to various corners forming a circle perimeter of a large area. Once in position they begin to generate a black void which grows in size till it creates a large, black dome centered at Kaname's location and anchored to the ground with 10 rings
Ichigo couldn't see or sense anything seeing how he was trapped inside the dome, "It's useless for you to even bother trying to fight back." Kaname said.
Kaname charged at Ichigo getting ready to end this, "Gotcha." Ichigo said.
Ichigo grabbed his sword and then struck at Kaname's torso causing a cut to appear on him, as the dome vanished.
"Was that all your Bankai could do?"
Kaname was getting pissed as he stood up and remained calm, "I thought I wouldn't have to use this." Gin and Ulquiorra's eyes widen knowing what he was about to do.
"Suzumushi Hyakushiki: Grillar Grillo."
Kaname became enveloped in darkness, transforming into a bestial Hollow-like form. He became hunched-over and his entire body was covered in black fur, with a large Hollow hole in his torso. He possessed four insect arms with clawed hands. Out of the hunch on his back are two large long spiral horns, each adorned near the points with two rings with chains hanging from them. His head looked similar to a cricket with a bilateral line running down the center, with large bulbous eyes and large rings hanging from the side protrusions. At the bottom of the head is a small opening where his mouth is, which he also has jagged teeth. He has a long bushy tail and a double pair of insect wings.
Ichigo's eyes widened realizing that this was his released form.
"It's over." Kaname said.
Kaname vanished and reappeared behind Ichigo. Ichigo turned around in fear seeing that he was incredibly fast. Kaname swung his arm at Ichigo sending him flying into the air, "Damn it." Ichigo said.
Kaname reappeared above Ichigo and kicked him right back down to the ground at fast speed. As Ichigo hit the ground it caused a huge crater to appear where he landed.
Kaname looked down at him from the sky as he got back up slowly. Cero formed in Kaname's eyes and shot down toward Ichigo. Ichigo quickly flash stepped his way out of the way as Kaname appeared in front of Ichigo and grabbed him by the face throwing Ichigo toward a building. Kaname appeared behind Ichigo before he could hit the building and slammed him sending him flying to the ground again. Ichigo hit the ground again making another huge crater while Kaname shot himself down toward Ichigo and landed on him. Ichigo coughed out blood due to the way Kaname stood on him.
"You cannot win this fight." He said.
Ichigo chuckled, "There's just…one thing…you haven't seen…that I… finally mastered." He said.
Ulquiorra's eyes widened knowing what he was talking about, "Segunda Etapa." Ulquiorra said changing into his second form that took the look of a bat again.
"What are you doing?" Kaname asked Ulquiorra.
"You're going to need help, I know what he's about to do."
Gin just stood back a good distance watching the fight.
"I don't need help."
"You will once he changes."
"Changes?"
Black and red spiritual energy spun and trapped Ichigo inside. Kaname backed away and stood next to Ulquiorra.
"What's he doing?"
"Just wait."
Once the spiritual energy vanished, Ichigo was no longer the same. He took form of a Minotaur the same hollow he was once before.
"That's his released form." Ulquiorra said.
"What? A human with a released form?" Kaname was shocked.
"I was thinking the same when I first fought him."
Ichigo held out his arm, as his katana appeared back in his hand, "He's coming." Ulquiorra said.
Ichigo appeared behind Kaname as he swung his sword at him, which Kaname quickly jumped up into the air.
"He's fast." Kaname said.
"You haven't seen anything yet." Ulquiorra said.
Ulquiorra charged at Ichigo, "Lanza del Relampago." A green spiritual spear appeared in Ulquiorra's hand.
Ichigo swung his arm down making the spear vanish. Ulquiorra's eyes widen but then Ichigo stabbed his hand into Ulquiorra's gut. Ichigo pulled out his hand as blood shot out of Ulquiorra.
"Damn it…" Ulquiorra said as he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Ulquiorra." Kaname said.
Ichigo appeared above Kaname and then kicked his head shooting him down to the ground. A crater was made once Kaname hit the ground causing smoke to block Ichigo's sight. Ichigo looked down at the smoke waiting for Kaname to come out. A cero came shooting out through the smoke toward Ichigo. Ichigo held up his arm as he stopped the cero with his hand.
"Kaname! We have to retreat, we can't defeat him even if I…" Gin was cut off as Ichigo appeared behind him and then slammed Gin into the ground.
"Damn it." Gin said.
Ichigo placed his foot on Gin's chest keeping him pinned down. A cero formed in between Ichigo's horns as he aimed it at Gin. Gin's eyes widened seeing that he could fire a cero.
Kaname appeared behind Ichigo and grabbed him with his insect arms, "Now there's no escape or dodging this." Kaname said.
Ichigo kept struggling trying to break free but it was no good, "Thanks Kaname." Gin said feeling relieved that he stopped him.
Kaname formed a cero in his eyes, "It's over."
Ichigo formed a cero in between his horns getting ready to fire it along with Kaname's.
"Shit!" Gin grabbed both Ulquiorra and Keigo and quickly vanished and reappeared a good distance away standing on a roof watching down at them.
Their ceros collided causing a massive explosion. Yoruichi and the others saw the massive explosion and were getting worried of what was going on.
Once the smoke cleared Kaname was still standing along with Ichigo with a huge space between them. Ichigo released more of his spiritual pressure as the ground started lifting itself up. Kaname quickly was being healed before Ichigo could land another attack on him. The rocks and whatever else was lifted out of the ground shot toward Kaname. Kaname formed a cero in his eyes again and shot it clearing the path. Ichigo appeared behind Kaname and slashed his sword down his back tearing into his flesh. Kaname quickly swung back his arm sending Ichigo flying.
Gin left Keigo and Ulquiorra laying on the roof as he vanished. Gin reappeared on the roof but where the girls were as he walked towards them, "It's like a battle between two monsters isn't it?" He asked the girls.
Yoruichi and the others quickly turned around to see Gin, "Relax, I'm not here to fight as you can see I'm just watching."
"Gin, why did you do this?" Rangiku asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean why did you leave the soul society and join Aizen?"
"Because Aizen was my master back then and I shall always go where he does and that's that." Gin said.
Rangiku sighed and decided it was best not to continue the conversation as they all turned their attention back to the fight.
Kaname quickly healed his back before Ichigo came at him again which was too late. Ichigo reappeared behind Kaname and kept slashing his back continuously. Kaname yelled in annoyance at Ichigo's attacks and grabbed Ichigo.
"You're starting to get on my nerves."
Kaname kept swinging and slamming Ichigo's body into the ground and whatever else was near him. Kaname then was slashing Ichigo's body with one of his insect arms while still slamming him into the ground.
"I'm going to tear you apart."
Ichigo formed a cero in between his horns again, "Not this time!" Kaname yelled as he slashed his arm at one of his horns breaking it off.
"I've never seen Kaname this hyped up in a fight." Gin said to the girls, which they ignored him.
Ichigo was being beat to death being slammed into the ground.. Kaname held Ichigo up in the air as he formed a cero in his eyes, "This is it." Kaname said.
As Kaname aimed his cero at Ichigo, Ichigo released an enormous amount of spiritual pressure causing Kaname to fly back. Ichigo's spirit energy was spinning around him again and trapping him inside. Kaname got up waiting to see what was happening. Once his spirit energy vanished, Ichigo was now in a different form, his bottom part of his soul reaper form was gone. His legs were now white with red outline matching with the rest of his body. He also spawned a tail as well. Kaname was shocked to see that he took on a second form. Kaname quickly charged at Ichigo forming a cero in his eyes again and shooting it at Ichigo. Ichigo raised his head slowly seeing the cero coming at him; He swung his arm up hitting the cero as it vanished.
"What? But how?" Kaname asked.
Ichigo performed several flash steps around Kaname making it look like that there was more of him. Kaname was trying to keep up with him, but Ichigo was too fast for him. Ichigo finally jumped in and slashed Kaname's arms off and kicked him sending him flying into the sky, Ichigo then formed another cero and shot it up at Kaname. Kaname quickly avoided it while Ichigo appeared above him grabbing Kaname by the neck with his tail. Ichigo opened his mouth and began to form a cero, but this wasn't a regular cero. Kaname swung his other arm at his tail cutting it off making him free from his grip. "That was a cero oscuras he was just forming then." Kaname thought to himself. Ichigo looked down at Kaname and also saw that his tail was cut off. Ichigo released some more spiritual pressure as his tail regenerated. Kaname was shocked that he could also regenerate body parts. Kaname quickly fired a cero at Ichigo to stop the healing process. Ichigo quickly vanished and reappeared behind Kaname. Ichigo grabbed the rest of Kaname's arms and ripped them off. Blood shot out of Kaname as his arms were ripped off.
"Damn it." Kaname said.
Ichigo looked at Kaname realizing that it's over for him. Kaname sent Gin a signal knowing what they had to do. Gin nodded and grabbed Yoruichi and vanished with her, "Yoruichi!" Kukaku and the other girls yelled.
Gin reappeared at the battlefield with Yoruichi in his grasp, "Don't think about it Ichigo." Gin said as he kept ahold of Yoruichi. Kaname walked up to Gin and Yoruichi, "Now, if you don't come with us, she gets to die." Kaname said as his arms reformed.
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi yelled.
"Shut up!" Kaname punched her in her stomach.
Ichigo's head shot up and reacted quickly to this and appeared behind Gin, "What did I say?" Kaname said as he back swung his arm at Ichigo sending him flying and crashing into a wall.
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi screamed.
Kaname walked towards Ichigo as Gin kept ahold of Yoruichi.
"Now, you're coming with us."
Ichigo got up slowly and held up his arm making his katana appear in his hand again.
"You refuse huh? So you would rather her die then?"
Kaname looked over to Gin giving him the signal. Gin brought out his sword and cut Yoruichi's arm. Yoruichi tried to hold in the pain, but Gin cut her again, but this time he cut her shoulders. Yoruichi screamed in pain as Gin put his sword up. Ichigo roared out spirit energy from his roar, as he was losing control. Kaname and Gin were watching waiting to see what he was going to do. A garganta opened from the sky as Kaname and Gin turned their attention to it.
"What? How the hell?" Kaname said.
"This isn't good." Gin said.
A garganta opened as menos' came out from the garganta and came down standing in front of Ichigo. Kukaku and everyone could see that menos' appeared and realized that they weren't attacking Ichigo. Gin's eyes widened, "Kaname! The menos' are helping him!"
The menos' all charged up a cero and fired it at Kaname, "Shit!" Kaname quickly dodged them. Ichigo appeared behind Kaname as he slowly turned around in fear. Ichigo grabbed Kaname on each side of his body. Yoruichi was watching in fear seeing a completely different Ichigo. Ichigo ripped Kaname's body in half and dropped his body to the ground. Gin's eyes widened, "Kaname…" Ichigo turned his attention to Gin, "Shit!" Gin let go of Yoruichi and tried to get away. The menos' charged up ceros and fired them at Gin, which he easily dodged them, but then Ichigo grabbed Gin by his head and shot himself down slamming Gin into the ground face first. Ichigo placed his foot on Gin's chest keeping him down and making sure he doesn't escape this time.
"Heh…Ichigo come on, let's think about this now." Gin was trying to get himself out of this.
Ichigo kept glaring down at him as Gin reached for his sword, "Come on, I didn't really hurt you, now did I?"
Gin quickly pulled out his sword and swung at Ichigo, but was stopped as Ichigo grabbed his sword and crushed it with his hand.
"Damn it." Gin said knowing that this was the end for him.
Ichigo grabbed his katana and pointed it at Gin's forehead. Kaname quickly swung Ichigo's katana out of his hand and kicked Ichigo off of Gin.
"That was a close one." Gin said.
"You're lucky I managed to put myself back together that quickly, or else you would've been done for."
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi yelled.
Gin reappeared behind Yoruichi and held her from going anywhere. The menos' charged up their ceros again and fired it at Kaname. Kaname quickly dodged it and charged at the menos' and cut them all in half making them vanish. Yoruichi elbowed Gin on the side of his head causing him to let go. Yoruichi ran over towards Ichigo but was knocked unconscious from Kaname punching her on her stomach again as Gin grabbed Yoruichi again and put her over his shoulder. Ichigo got up slowly seeing that the menos' were gone and that Gin had Yoruichi along with Kaname was back in his body again.
"When will you realize that you can't win?" Kaname said to Ichigo.
No answer.
"Hmph, if you want it that way then, just die!" Kaname yelled out.
Yoruichi woke up seeing that Gin had her again. Yoruichi struggled to get free, but then Gin put her standing in front of him and wrapped his arms around both of hers to keep her immobilized. Yoruichi realized she couldn't do anything and just decided to watch. Kaname held out all of his insect arms and started cutting Ichigo several times on his torso. Kaname kept laughing and cutting Ichigo continuously. Ichigo kept taking the hits as he realized his spirit energy was giving up on him. Kaname backed up a bit and picked Ichigo up by his neck with one of his insect arms holding him up in the air.
"I'll admit, you did put up one hell of a fight, but you could've never won against me." Kaname said.
Kaname pulled back one of his insect arms, "I feel sorry that you decided not to join us after all and preferred death. You would've made one hell of a comrade for Lord Aizen." Kaname said.
Yoruichi was watching Ichigo as tears formed in her eyes, "But seeing what you decided, leaves me no choice." Kaname said.
Blood kept pouring out of Ichigo's chest, "But I'm afraid that this is the end." Kaname said.
Nel woke up from her nap and could feel Ichigo's spiritual pressure vanishing. She quickly got up and ran outside looking around. She jumped up to the roof seeing Rukia and the others, "What's going on up here?" Nel asked.
Soifon and the others turned around, "Who are you?" Soifon asked.
"I'm Ichigo's friend Nel." She answered.
"Oh." Soifon's eyes softened as they all turned their attention back to the fight that was about to end.
Nel joined them and could see Kaname and Gin. Her eyes widened seeing Ichigo was just about done since Kaname had him in his grasp.
"Ichigo…" She said quietly to herself as tears were forming in her eyes.
"Fare well, Ichigo Kurosaki." Kaname said as he shot one of his insect arms breaking through Ichigo's hollow armor and through his chest.
Ichigo's hollow armor crumbled to pieces and fell off him. Blood shot out of Ichigo's chest and his back from Kaname's arm stabbing through him.
"Ichigo!" Yoruichi screamed.
Kaname let go of Ichigo as he fell to the ground, "Goodbye, Ichigo Kurosaki." Kaname said.
A pool of blood was forming under Ichigo, as it wouldn't stop. Gin let go of Yoruichi as she ran over to him. Kaname and Gin just stood there feeling ashamed of Ichigo. Yoruichi ran past Kaname and quickly fell to her knees placing her hands on Ichigo's chest, "Ichigo…please you can't die."
No answer.
Tears were falling down Yoruichi's eyes and onto Ichigo, "Ichigo!" She screamed as she buried her face onto his chest.
Kaname returned to his normal form, "Gin."
"Yeah I know." Gin quickly went to grab Ulquiorra and came back opening a garganta.
"Fare well Ichigo Kurosaki." Kaname said as they stepped into the garganta then vanished while the portal closed.
"Ichigo!" Nel screamed as she jumped off the roof and ran toward the battlefield.
Soifon and the others did the same as well and were making their war there. Keigo finally woke up and realized he was fine and that he was on top of a roof. He looked over the ledge and realized that he wasn't too high up and saw Ichigo lying there on the ground soaked in blood, "Ichigo!" He jumped over the ledge and ran over to him and Yoruichi.
"Yoruichi, what…what happened to Ichigo?" Keigo asked.
Yoruichi kept crying into his chest, as Keigo decided not to speak as his eyes softened trying to hold back the tears. Nel appeared into the scene along with Kukaku and everyone else, "Ichigo!" Nel yelled.
Nel ran over to him and sat on her knees next to Yoruichi as she looked down at Ichigo's dead body. Nel's tears kept falling onto Ichigo as well, "Ichigo…"
Keigo couldn't help it as he had tears falling from his eyes as well, "Ichigo! How could you die like this? You were my best friend…" Keigo said.
Time Skip: Next day.
Once again, all the lieutenants, captains, and Ichigo's family were all crowded near Ichigo's grave. They lowered Ichigo's casket into the hole that was buried for him and then covered it back up. Everyone felt terrible that they couldn't help him… well, Ichigo wouldn't want them to get involved anyway. As everyone said their farewells and gave him their respect to Ichigo they started to leave as some returned to the soul society.
"Yoruichi…" Soifon said as she placed a hand on her shoulder.
Yoruichi started to cry again, "I loved him so much, and now…he's gone." She said.
Soifon's eyes softened, "I know Yoruichi, I think most of us did to."
Soifon's eyes started to water as well. Kukaku came up to them, "I'm sorry Yoruichi, and I knew how much you loved him too, more than any of us all probably." She said.
"Oh son!" Ichigo's dad yelled crying over Ichigo's gravestone along with Yuzu and Karin.
Yoruichi, Soifon, and Kukaku turned their attention to Ichigo's family, "I would hate to imagine how they really feel since that was his dad's only son and for his sisters, their only brother…" Kukaku said.
Nel was watching from a far distance knowing that she shouldn't be there since most of the soul society was there and would think that she's an enemy, but she knew she wouldn't be if Ichigo were there with her since he was always there by her side protecting her.
Rukia and Rangiku were holding back their tears, but Orihime just couldn't as her tears were pouring down her cheeks.
Time Skip: 2 months later.
Yoruichi, Soifon, and Kukaku both still attended school along with Rukia and Rangiku.
"Well class, seeing it has been two months…" The teacher was cut off as the door opened.
It was Ulquiorra, "Well, have you learned your lesson Mr. Cifer? You should know bringing a weapon to school is highly forbidden." The teacher said.
Ulquiorra ignored her and walked over to his seat. Keigo was glaring at Ulquiorra with hatred along with Yoruichi and the others.
Ulquiorra closed his eyes; "You should know I didn't kill him so I don't know what's with the glares." Ulquiorra said to them.
Yoruichi stood up quickly and slammed her hands onto the desk, "You helped him though trying to kill him!" She yelled.
"Ms. Shihouin!" The teacher yelled.
"Sorry…" Yoruichi said as she sat back down.
A note was handed to Yoruichi from a student, "It's from Ulquiorra." She unfolded it and it said, "You're right, I did help him. He had to die; he refused to join us along with Lord Aizen. And when people turn down Aizen's offer of him joining us, they either join us with force…or die. So, he had what was coming and he tried to refuse it, but there was no other way. He was going to die anyway, whether he defeated us all or not. There was no escape; nothing could've saved him. The only thing he had coming, was death."
Yoruichi crumbled the paper and threw it at Ulquiorra, "See! You don't deserve to live either you bitch! You helped them kill Ichigo! You shouldn't even be here!" Yoruichi yelled.
"Ms. Shihouin!" The teacher yelled.
Yoruichi pointed at Ulquiorra, "He was one of the people that killed Ichigo!"
The whole class turned their attention to Ulquiorra, "I don't know what you're talking about." He said calmly.
Ulquiorra put the letter in his desk, "Mr. Cifer." The teacher called out.
"Yes?"
"Let me see that letter of yours that he tried to hide."
Ulquiorra took the letter out as he erased everything with a little spirit energy. The teacher walked down the row and stopped at Ulquiorra's desk. She grabbed the letter and uncrumbled it and looked at it.
"It says nothing…" The teacher said.
"See? Like I said, I don't know what she's talking about." Ulquiorra said.
Yoruichi shot up from her desk and walked toward Ulquiorra while Soifon and Kukaku got up and stopped her from continuing.
"Ichigo's dead, learn to accept it and move on." Ulquiorra said.
"Yoruichi, just ignore him, we'll find a way to get him to admit that he did." Kukaku said.
Yoruichi calmed down as she walked back to her desk and took her set along with Kukaku and Soifon.
The door opened as the teacher turned to see whom it was, Ulquiorra's eyes widened. Nel walked into the classroom, "Hi, my name's Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck but you can just call me Nel and I'm a new student here." She said smiling.
All the guys in the class started to have nosebleeds seeing Nel of how she looked. She was wearing the normal school outfit, her green long hair was straight, and she didn't wear the skull helmet though.
"Well, welcome to our class, Ms. Odelsch… I mean… Nel. You can choose any seat you'll like." The teacher said.
"Thank you." She smiled and walked over and took a seat next to Yoruichi.
Yoruichi and the others were wondering what she was doing here.
"Nel." Yoruichi whispered.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing here?"
"To keep an eye out on Ulquiorra to make sure he doesn't try to play any tricks again."
"You? Isn't he stronger than you?"
"Mmm, nope. He's ranked number four. For me, I'm the third ranked espada."
Yoruichi's eyes widened, "Where are you even staying?"
Nel kept quiet remembering who used to live there, "Ichigo's room. When I came here a couple months ago, he said that I could stay at his place cause I was afraid that Aizen would kill me since I came to warn Ichigo about the day that Kaname and the others would go after Ichigo. When I told him that, he said I could stay with him and that he would protect me from them…" Nel's eyes softened.
Yoruichi started to feel sorry for her, "And since I told Ichigo, I figured that they saw me leave and knew what I was going to do. So, I think they changed the day that they would attack unexpectedly and chose to attack right when I left."
"And if I were to go back, I would be…" Nel was cut off.
"Nel and Ms. Shihouin, stop the talking."
"Sorry teacher." Yoruichi said.
Yoruichi and Nel went back paying attention to the teacher. Ulquiorra was curious to as why Nel was here, "I'm going to have to tell Aizen this." He thought to himself.
Location: Las Noches.
"Lord Aizen." Gin said.
"What is it?"
"I just got a message from Ulquiorra saying that Nel is staying in the world of the living now and that she's attending the school that Ichigo Kurosaki used to go to."
"Hmm. I'll send Kaname to kill her in a few days. I'm still pretty upset that you couldn't bring Ichigo by force instead of killing him."
"But there was nothing we could do, he even summoned the menos' to attack us."
Aizen's eyes widened, "You mean to tell me he turned the menos' on you both?"
"Yes."
"Ichigo is just full of surprises."
"I agree as well, but there's one other thing." Gin said.
"And what is that?"
"He managed to take on a second form of his released form."
"Oh my. Well, it can't be helped now, he's dead now."
Location: Kurosaki Clinic.
Yoruichi stood there in front of his house and just looked up at it. She walked up to the door wanting to check and see how his family was holding up. She knocked on the door, "Who is it?" Ichigo's dad said.
"It's me, Yoruichi."
Ichigo's dad came and opened the door, "Hey their Yoruichi as his eyes drifted down looking at her chest."
Yoruichi slapped him across his face, "I just came to see how everyone was doing and that's how you greet me?" She sighed.
"Heh, sorry." He rubbed the back of his head.
"How are the girls?" She asked.
"They're starting to calm down and realizing that he's in a better place now."
Yoruichi's eyes softened, "Well ok, I got to get going."
"Bye Yoruichi." Ichigo's dad said.
Yoruichi walked away from Ichigo's house, as she couldn't get over his death. She loved so much and wanted to be with him, but now that he's gone, she has been having a rough time.
Location: Urahara Shop.
Yoruichi walked into the shop to see Urahara having a cup of tea.
"How you holding up Yoruichi?" he asked.
"Trying to hang in there. I just can't get over him being gone." She answered with a sad look.
She walked to her room leaving Urahara to enjoy his cup of tea. She opened the door to her room and closing it when she walked in. She walked over to her bed and threw herself onto it trying not to cry again. She laid on her side facing the wall closing her eyes drifting into sleep.
"Yoruichi." A mysterious voice came from her door.
She leaned up as her eyes widened seeing who it was, "I missed you Yoruichi."
She got up from her bed, "Is it really you…? Ichigo?" She asked.
"Yes Yoruichi."
Tears started to form in her eyes as she ran at Ichigo throwing herself into his arms and burying her face into his shoulder, "Ichigo! I'm so glad you're alive." As she kept crying into his shoulder.
He wrapped his arms around her waist resting his chin on her head, "I'll always be here."
She lifted her head up facing looking into his eyes, "You have no idea what I went through."
He whipped the tears off her cheeks, "I'm sorry Yoruichi."
She leaned in closer to him getting ready to kiss him, until he vanished.
Yoruichi woke up from her sleep looking around the room and realized that it was only a dream. She got up and was getting ready for school.
Location: School.
"Ok class, let's begin." The teacher said.
Yoruichi kept looking at Ichigo's desk wishing that he were here. She quickly looked out the window feeling someone's spiritual pressure coming this way.
"Nel."
"I know. I feel it too." Rangiku and the others could sense it as well.
"Excuse us teacher, we got to go somewhere." Kukaku said as she and all the others ran out.
"Whoever it is, they're headed to the graveyard." Nel said.
"Let's hurry." Yoruichi said.
Location: Graveyard.
The gang appeared at the graveyard seeing Yamamoto there with Byakuya.
"What are you two doing here?" Rukia asked.
Yamamoto pointed at what was in front of them.
Yoruichi's eyes widened.
