Hey everyone. This is just a little announcement. I can't update much for the next weeks. I have my final exam in December and have a lot to prepare for. So please be patient with me.

This message will also be posted in my other updates.

Soul Reaper With a Core Drill – Thanks. I wanted her to give him a good scolding but I think I missed the point a bit.

insomniac1970 – I just hope that I can his butt kicking right :P

8579 – Thanks I just hope that the rest will be just as good.

Darkverger1 – he may be powerful but you should never peeve a woman because no amount of power can protect you from them.

Frederico de sciglio – Sorry but I just had to make this little cliffy.

Nick145 – Yeah regarding my flaws.

1. I know but somehow I can't seem to find the right words to prolong the story plus I only follow a set storyline that my friend and I set up as it was a challenge we created together.

2. I know that my grammar sucks but I already have a beta reader for this story. Now that you say it though I think he also sucks at grammar.

3. I use LibreOffice and it also has a spell check. Sadly it doesn't have a working grammar check.

Please Review and please don't hold back. Tell me if something bothered you, I can handle the truth.

Tatsuki POV

I couldn't believe it. I just came back from the convenience store to come a across a powerful and suffocating aura. A dark suffocating aura. There before me stood a tall grown man with shoulder long orange hair and a black cloak. I could only gasp at the feeling of his reiatsu. He turned his head as if he had heard me and I saw his menacing yellow eye.

"I.. Ichi... Ichigo?", I stuttered in a whisper with a hand over my mouth not wanting to believe it.

His eye twitched for a moment before he sighed and turned to me completely. Another gasp escaped me as I saw the mans chest, or more precisely the hole in it.

"Hey... Tatsuki.", my missed friend waved calm.

It seemed like he wanted to make a run for it but he stayed.

"Ho... How?", I tried to wrap my mind around his new appearance.

"I simply became a Hollow.", he shrugged with a I don't care attitude that pissed me off.

That did it. I dropped my bag walked over to him and hit him against the shoulder with all I had because he was to tall for me to whack him on the head. A small wince escaped me as I felt like I had hit a brick wall.

"You okay there Tatsuki?", he asked and took my hand into his own.

I missed his voice and his touch so I just let myself embraced in it. He carefully stroked my bleeding knuckles. Another wince came from me as his claw like finger grazed the scratches. I watched as he bowed down a bit and stuck out his tongue. He licked my bleeding knuckles. I blushed red like a firehouse.

"Wha... What are you...", I wanted to ask but he already pulled back and I saw what he did.

The scratches began to fade away leaving untouched skin behind.

"How...", I tried to understand his changes and this situation.

"My spit has healing properties.", he shrugged.

His casual attitude made me snap out of my trance of his touch. This time I kicked him but less powerful to not hurt myself again.

"YOU BAKA!", I yelled and kicked him again but this time I aimed a bit to high and kicked his crotch.

To my astonishment he didn't even flinch.

"That hurt.", he stated in a deadpan tone.

"How?", I asked confused.

"You can't hurt me. Not even Ishida can break my skin with his arrows.", he shrugged.

"But how?", I inquired.

"Come on lets talk at my place.", he picked me up and a blush crept on my face.

We vanished and reappeared inside the Kurosaki residence. He sat me down and guided me in the living room

"Ah there you are son. Got anything to eat while you were out?", Isshin laughed as he saw his son.

"Yeah. I think I got enough for the next few days.", my friend smiled and fell onto the couch.

"Hello Tatsuki-san.", Yuzu greeted me with a smile.

"Hey Yuzu-chan.", I smiled.

Karin only gave me a nod which I answered with my own. I took my seat in a beanbag chair and looked at Ichigo.

"So where have you been?", I asked eager to know more about my friend.

"I've stayed just outside the city and protected the town from Hollows. You know the usual stuff.", he smiled.

'I missed that smile.', I thought happy.

Just then I heard steps coming from the hallway. I turned my head and saw this dark skinned woman I had seen with him and the others many times.

'What was her name again?', I tried to remember.

(AN: I'm not sure if the two knew each other.)

"Oh you are awake already You-chan?", Ichigo smiled at her and I felt like a needle pierced my heart.

"Yeah... I just needed a little rest.", she slurred while rubbing her eyes.

Instead of taking a seat like we others she let herself fall into my beloved mans lap and snuggled against him. A fierce fire burned in my heart. A fire of jealousy.

"Why are you even up if you just want to sleep again?", Ichigo laughed.

The woman just murmured something with a content smile.

"Come on You-chan I have a guest.", Ichigo tickled her a bit making her squirm in his lap.

"Ichigo who is she?", I asked barely able to suppress my jealousy.

"Tatsuki this is my girlfriend and partner in crime Yoruichi. Yoruichi this is my childhood friend Tatsuki.", Ichigo introduce us.

I felt like my heart broke as he introduced her as his girlfriend but I set my best fake smile.

Yoruichi POV

I eyed the girl that Ichigo had brought with him. I remembered her from many occasions in the past. But something caught my eye. The look in her eyes spoke of jealousy. It didn't take a genius to guess why she looked at me like that.

'So she also likes Ichi-chan.', I smirked.

"Hey Ichigo.", I whispered and he bowed down to me so I could whisper in his ear.

"How about you continue patrol while Tatsuki and I have a little girl talk.", I suggested and he shrugged.

"If you want me too.", he smiled and I got out off his lap but not before I gave him a quick kiss.

With that he vanished once again in a sonido to continue his guard duty over the town. I turned to Tatsuki and gave her a nod to signal her to follow me. She did that and we went to Ichigos room. The rest of the Kurosaki family stayed behind. The girls gave me a knowing look while Isshin stared at us like a deer caught in the headlights.

We entered the room and I closed it behind me. Tatsuki stared at me with calculating eyes as I walked over to the bed and let myself fall on it. She took a seat in the chair at his desk and stared at me.

"So you also love Ichigo?", I asked and she nearly fell of the chair.

"Wh... Wha... What?", she tried to regain her composure.

"Don't try to fool me girl. I saw the look you gave us. You love him just like I do.", I stated firm.

"And if I do?", she challenged obviously hoping to throw me off.

"Then we have to find a way to cope with that.", I smiled.

"But... but how?", she was confused.

"Now listen. I know that multiple girlfriends are not really liked or tolerated around here but Ichigo is a exception.", I explained knowing that I had her full attention.

"What do you mean?", she asked calm but I saw the eagerness in her eyes.

"He is a Arrancar now. Not a human or a Shinigami. The Hollows of Huenco Mundo don't care about having multiple women.", I explained as calm as I could.

The thought of comparing Ichigo with these monsters burned my very soul but since he was now one of them despite his differences it was the best explanation.

"So... we can...", she trailed off with a serious blush.

"It all depends on him in the end.", I shrugged and fell backwards on the bed.

"And... you?", she stuttered.

"I don't really care as long as I get to spend my time with my little Ichi-chan.", I smiled and looked at the ceiling.

Suddenly a powerful reiatsu appeared. I jumped up and looked out the window. Tatsuki was by my side in a flash. A few houses away a Garganta opened in the sky and two figures stepped out.

'Oh litter box.', I sighed.

"Are they?", she pointed at the figures.

"They are also Arrancars. Lets get out there and see if we can do some damage control while Ichigo handles them.", I ordered and she nodded.

Inoue POV

I felt it. Two powerful presences. They felt familiar.

'Grimmjow-san and Harribel-san, Why are they here?', I paled and ran in their direction.

Minutes later I came to a halt in front of the Kurosaki clinic where I saw Yoruichi-san and Tatsuki-chan staring at the figures in the sky.

"Tatsuki-chan. Yoruichi-san.", I called but they didn't react at all, their eyes set on the Arrancars.

"KUROSAKI! COME OUT!", Grimmjow yelled in his usual maniac tone.

Just then another presence appeared. I looked up and saw the new Arrancar that we had tried to subdue for a while now.

'Why are they looking for Kurosaki-kun and what is he doing here?', I was confused.

They seemed to talk before Grimmjow-san tried to attack him and Harribel-san stopped her companion. I felt uneasy about these three.

"I just hope he knows what he is doing.", Tatsuki-chan whispered.

"So do I.", Yoruichi-san sighed.

I turned to them with wide eyes.

'Do they know this Hollow?', I thought confused.

Then I saw Ishida-san and Chad-kun run towards us.

"Inoue what's going on here?", Ishida yelled as he eyed the three Arrancar.

"I don't know.", I shrugged nervously.

"I knew it. This monster was evil.", Ishida growled not noticing the menacing glares of Yoruichi-san and Tatsuki-chan.

Ichigo POV

I felt another Garganta opening and two strong beings step out of it.

'This feels like Grimmjow and... I think it could be Harribel.', I thought as I hurried there.

I appeared before the still open portal and eyed the two new comers.

'Knew it.', I smiled.

"What are you two doing here? I thought you were busy with rebuilding Huenco Mundo after Aizen was finally gone.", I asked as I tilted my head.

"So you finally came out to play!", Grimmjow snarled and tried to pounce on me but Harribel stopped.

"Thank you Harribel.", I thanked and she gave me a nod.

Grimmjow just looked at his companion with a snarl but calmed down. He crossed his arms and pouted like a little child after not getting what he wanted.

"So what did you come here for?", I asked again.

"We came here because we want to offer you a position in the new Huenco Mundo.", she stated emotionless.

I took a step back.

"Me being a member of the new regimen of Huenco Mundo? How did you come up with that?", I asked utterly confused.

"Ulquiorra stated that you would make a good leader.", she shrugged.

"Wait what? Ulquiorra? But he is dead.", I tried to argue.

"No. He came back a month ago. He himself doesn't know how he survived but he is very much alive.", she stated and I saw a small smile under the high collar of her jacket.

"Let me think about this for a while. I will come to you when I have a decision.", I bowed slightly and she nodded.

"We will await your answer.", she stated and dragged Grimmjow back through the Garganta as it closed.

I only sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose.

'So you are alive huh? I guess I should visit you soon.', I thought with a slight smile.

Then I turned to You-chan and Tatsuki and saw the others there as well. There were also some other friends not so far away from here. I landed before the group in front of my house. You-chan and Tatsuki ran to me and gave me a wordless hug which I returned.

"Yoruichi-sama.", A new voice cut into our moment.

We turned around and saw Rukia and Renji staring at us in awe.

"What are you doing here Rukia-chan, Renji-chan.", she asked the two confused.

"We came looking for you because captain SoiFon had a report for you and no resources to contact you and since we wanted to come here anyway it just fit..", Renji explained with a shrug but his eyes never left me.

"Hey is that how you look at an old friend Renji-chan?", I teased with a slight smile.

"You...", he growled and readied himself to attack me only for Ishida to do it before him.

The last Quincy ran at me with his light dagger and tried to stab me only to be backhanded and send into the next wall. With a groan he slid down and stayed down.

"You should stay down Quincy.", I growled as my patience with him ran thin.

A wind picked up and made my coat flutter and lifted the hood of my head. I didn't notice at first but the gasps of everyone made me realize it. Everyone except the two girls stared at me wide eyed.

"I... Ichigo? Is that you?", Rukia whispered.

"Why so shocked? I had Hollow powers as a secondary source before so why not now as a primary one?", I shrugged not really caring that my secret was revealed.

"Ku... Kurosaki-k... kun?"m Inoue stuttered and tried to reach out for me.

"What?", I asked calm and cold making her flinch.

"I... I... We...". she stuttered.

"You abandoned me after I lost my powers and then hunted me like an animal just like Ishida. Only Chad tried to really understand me.", I stated firm and emotionless.

She flinched again and stepped back.

"You have a lot of trust to rebuild if you want it to be like the old times.", I sighed and stepped to You-chan.

Silence stepped in and everyone stared at me till You-chan broke it again.

"So what report do you have for me?", she asked the two newcomers.

"Oh right.", Rukia began to search her pockets till Renji tipped her on the shoulder as he pulled a small letter out of his hakama.

"You gave it to me remember?", he asked in a teasing tone.

Rukia just pouted but nodded. He handed You-chan the letter and she read it. After she finished she handed it to me.

Yoruichi-sama we have found the girl Sukuku Ayane you asked us to find. Right now she is under the tutelage of my lieutenant and will join our forces in the future.

With all respect,

SoiFon, captain of the 2nd squad.

"So they found her?", I asked with a smile as I remembered SoiFons lieutenant.

He was quite a nice guy and had this cool ability to stop time for a certain amount of time. I even heard that his bankai was powerful. We had sparred once after the whole Ryoka incident and I had to go bankai to be able to follow his speed. Even now I think I would barely be able to keep up with him and if he entered bankai I would be fucked. He made quite a impression during the winter war.

"It's good that she has someone looking out for her.", I smiled and put the letter in my pocket.

"Thanks guys. This letter means a lo to me.", I thanked my friends.

"No problem Ichigo but I can't understand how you can stand this brat.", Renji shook his head.

"You only call him that because he always sets you up when you meet to get a drink.", I laughed and could hear him curse under his breath.

"Now then. I would say that we get some rest. It was a long day and we can talk in the morning.", Tatsuki suggested with a smile.

Everyone but Ishida nodded because he was still out cold. Chad picked him up and began to walk away closely followed by a still sad Inoue.

"See you later Chad.", I called and he nodded to me.

"Come on guys. You can stay at my place for tonight.", I offered my friends.

"Sounds good.", Rukia smiled

"Then we can have a drink.", Renji cheered only to feel the angry glares of the women and shut up immediately.

"I would like to stay.", Tatsuki smiled.

"Then lets go inside. It's getting cold out here.", Yoruichi purred as she hugged my left arm.

I saw her and Tatsuki exchange looks but shrugged it off as after effect of their girl talk. So we went inside to get some rest.
