Rumi's POV

We landed inside the warehouse with a loud crash, Orihime on my shoulders. My feet had made a crater, but no biggie. I marched downstairs, signaling my arrival.

"Hachi, nya! I brought her!" I yelled.

"Inoue?" Ichigo said again.

"All right, Ichigo! Your break is over!" Hiyori yelled.

"Wait a sec! What do you want with Inoue?" Ichigo asked. Right after he said that sentence, Hiyori smacked him with her flip flop, sending him flying to a rock.

"I said that break time is over!" She barked.

And they began to spar again.

Hachi's shadow loomed over the both of us, and I grinned up at him.

"Thank you, Rumi." He said.

"You're welcome, Hachi, nya!" I giggled and ran off. I sat on the floor near the others, watching Hachi and Orihime.

They were talking, and Hachi was holding her head in a weird position.

"All right. Let go of her head already." Kensei said.

"I don't understand! Why is Hachi suddenly fixing that girl's weapon? Who is that girl? She just came out of nowhere. I don't like her! She's annoying!" Mashi yelled, obviously jealous that Hachi was talking to Orihime and not her.

"Quit your yapping!" Kensei yelled at her.

"Kensei, if you keep yelling, your veins are gonna pop out even more and then you'll die of aneurysm, nya!" I yelled at him.

"Why you-!" He yelled towards me and had me in a headlock. He gave me a noogie and it hurt!

"Owowowowowowow!" I yelled.

"What did you say? I'm going to die of what?" He threatened, his voice dangerously low.

"Aneurysm! You're gonna die because of an aneurysm!" I yelled.

He gave me even mor noogies until tears started to come out of my eyes.

"Owowowowowowow!" I yelled. I bit his hand and he finally let go. I was rolling on the floor, gripping my head.

Noogies hurt.

Then I saw a yellow light and looked towards Hachi. He was doing something. Then something was out and Orihime looked really happy. Then they talked for a little, and she left, with something standing on her shoulders. Hiyori and Ichigo were still ruthlessly battling, as usual. They were still ruthlessly battling until the next day. I came out of the showers, fresh and clean and walked downstairs to the training room. Hiyori was still attacking, having the upper hand. And Ichigo was still sucky, being pummeled by Hiyori.

"Time's up." She said, taking off her mask. He snuck up behind her to attack, but he failed, and his mask broke, again.

"It was dangerous not giving me a warning! If the time that you can sustain a Hollow transformation has gotten longer, you should tell me!" She barked.

"Who's the one who's not giving any warning?! You're the one who said to endure it as long as possible!" Ichigo shot back.

"Now's not the time to be complaining! Next, next!"

I rolled my eyes as I sat down.

"She always leaves something out." I muttered.

He put back on his mask and they began fighting. I was analyzing more of their fights.

"Ichigo! Hiyori's right, nya! The first move you make after you put on your mask is slow! You'll die, nya!" I yelled.

Ichigo growled as they began to go at it again.

"How is it?" Shinji asked.

"His time extended by 0.5 seconds." Kensei said.

"Wow. That's a big development." Shinji said.

"He's so slow, nya! How do you call that a big development?!" I asked.

"He just doesn't have the talent..." Lisa muttered.

"We have no choice, but to continue and stick with him..." Shinji said.

I sipped on a juice box while waiting for the food.

"Kenseiiiiiiiiii! Wanna make me food, nya?" I asked, hopeful.

"No."

I hung my head in shame, but continued drinking my juice.

"You're so mean, Kenseiiiiiiiiii!" I yelled.

They continued training for a long time until I got bored of watching them.

"I'm gonna go watch Karakura Town for a bit. I'm so bored, nya!" I announced.

"Okay. Be back before dinner!" Shinji waved. I waved back and left the warehouse.

As I made my way towards the center of the town, I felt immense spiritual pressure, but compared to mine, very tiny. They were probably Arrancar.

I felt three figures so I summoned two clones. I told them what to do as I followed the one with the most spiritual pressure. The two went after the other two Arrancar.

I quickly sniffed him out and the direction he was heading towards. I ran across the street and saw a stuffed animal. It was talking!

I hid my reiatsu, and soon enough, the Arrancar I was chasing arrived.

He leapt down from the sky and towards the stuffed animal.

"Who are you?" He growled.

"K-Kon..." The animal said.

I grabbed the stuffed animal before the Arrancar could pummel it.

"I think I should be the one asking that question." I said, in the air.

The stuffed animal was in my arms, and I gently slapped it awake.

"Oi, you okay? Are you a mod soul?" I asked.

The lion nodded.

"You're Kon, right?" I asked.

"Yes. How...?"

"Never mind that. Here, sit on my shoulder." I said, putting the animal on my shoulder.

"Hai..." It replied, still dazed.

The blue haired Arrancar looked at me.

"Who are you?" He growled.

"You're an Arrancar, aren't you?" I asked.

"Yes. But what difference does that make? You're just-"

"I'm sure you've heard of me, then. Anyways, why are you here?" I asked.

"I've come to meet the man who can tell me how to use the Hogyoku."

"The Hogyoku? Who is that man?" I asked, curious.

"Kisuke Urahara."

My eyes slightly widened. Orihime and Yoruichi were talking about him... And he was the guy when I faced off with Ulquiorra... That blazing red reiatsu!

"I see. Did Aizen send you?"

"No. I am not in the same team as Aizen, for I have stolen the Hogyoku and plan to be the King of Hueco Mundo." He said, grinning.

"The King...?"

"Now... Are you going to get in my way?" He growled.

This Arrancar wants to be the King of Hueco Mundo, and he is not in league with Aizen, and he has the Hogyoku...

This was a trap.

Or was it?

He fired something at me, a blinding white-yellow light, but I deflected it in time with my hand.

"Oi! Are you okay?" Kon asked.

"I'm fine. Where do you live?" I asked, out of the blue.

"The Kurosaki Clinic." Kon answered.

I started running towards the clinic, full speed.

"You know Ichigo Kurosaki?" I asked.

"Hai!" He answered.

"We're here! And tell his family that he's doing well!" I picked him up from my shoulder and threw him to one of the open windows at the clinic.

The blue haired Arrancar was still chasing me, and I led it back towards where we first met.

"Who are you?!" He growled once more.

"I have no obligation to tell you who I am." I answered.

"Guess I'll have to fight you then..."

"Heh. You'll die before you can lay a scratch on me." I grinned.

He drew his sword and fired a blow at me. I easily dodged it and kept running.

Before I knew it, I was in front of some shop.

The Arrancar looked up at the sign above my head.

"What're you looking at?" I barked.

"This is the shop where that person is." He said.

I turned around, and the sign read "URAHARA'S SHOP".

I rolled my eyes. Way to go unnoticed.

The doors opened, revealing two kids and more stuffed animals.

"Run! You guys can't defeat him!" I yelled.

"Who are you?" The red haired kid growled.

"Does it matter? Just get away from here or the shop will blow apart!" I warned.

I blocked another shot from his sword, using my hand.

"Draw your sword like a man! Stop sheathing and unsheathing it!" I yelled, annoyed.

"Move out of the way!" He growled.

I stuck my tounge out and blew raspberries at him before he fired another one. This one was stronger, but not enough to hurt me.

I Shunpoed in front of him and kicked him square in the chest, sending him back a few meters.

"Give me the Hogyoku, Arrancar, and you won't get hurt." I said.

"N-never..."

"Hmf. Have it your way." I growled. I Shunpoed behind him and kicked him towards the shop. He tumbled across like a torpedo and then I flew right above his head and kicked him downward.

He fell into some underground place that looked an awful like our warehouse training room.

Suddenly, a red haired guy whose hair reminded me of a pineapple entered.

"Who're you?" He asked.

"None of your business." I growled.

"Heh. You're better than I thought you were. Now, get a taste of my zanpakuto!" The Arrancar yelled.

He unsheathed it, firing another blow at us.

I dodged it, and opened my eyes, revealing my dōjutsu. The commas in my eyes began to twirl as a black flame appeared on the Arrancar's leg.

"What the-" I looked towards Red Pineapple.

"You can handle this, right?"

"Y-yeah."

"Good. Then I'll leave this to you. And a word of advice, don't touch the black flames or it'll kill you." I said simply.

With that, I left the underground room and the shop. I called back my clones and made then disappear.

My eyes were still red, but I didn't care.

Now, for sure, I knew. The three Arrancar that came were idiots who couldn't be an Espada. I felt the other two Arrancar's reiatsu disappear.

The black flame that was on the Espada... It wouldn't burn out unless I told it to.

"Heh. Arrancar are such pests." I muttered, walking back to the warehouse.


Renji's POV

The black flame was slow, but it seemed painful. He began to scream but he could still attack.

Lirin, Kurodo, and Noba helped me out and eventually defeated the blue haired Arrancar.

Even though his body disappeared, the black flames remained.

Urahara and the others were back and so did Captain Hitsugaya and the others.

"What is that black flame?" Matsumoto asked after we had sorted everything out.

Captain Hitsugaya reached over to touch it, but I grabbed his hand, stopping it.

"Don't touch it!" I exclaimed.

"Why? It's just fire." Ikkaku retorted.

"The girl said so. She said if I touched the flame, I would die. When the Arrancar was hit with it, it was screaming and no matter how he tried to put it out, it was still there." I explained.

"What girl?" Ayagesawa asked.

"She had rust colored hair and green eyes. She's the one that destroyed the shop and led the Arrancar down here. After she created the flames, she left."

"A girl with rust colored hair?" Urahara asked. "She was wearing a uniform with a cream colored vest, right?"

"Yeah. You know her?"

"No. But she has been here a lot lately and I've been trying to figure out who she is."

"Well, when I came here, she didn't have any scratches on her. And her eyes turned red when she summoned the flames. That's all I know. She looks familiar though..."

Urahara kneeled next to the flames. Right as he was about to touch it, the flames disappeared.

What was that?

But more importantly, who was that girl?
