When Ichigo woke up the next morning Rukia was standing over him. "Aaa!" He moved back.

"Ichigo, I have to tell you something." She sat down on the bed beside him.

"You aren't going to kill me, are you?" He looked scared.

"No…" She shook her head. "It's just that…" She quickly brought up a glass of water and splashed his face. She stood up. "Ha!" She ran out of the room, quickly.

He laid there with his eyes closed. "Ummm." Then he opened them. "Rukia!" He ran out of the room. "You're not going to get away with that!" He ran down the stairs. "Where'd you…go?"

She was sitting at the table, calmly, with his sisters and dad. She looked up. "Oh, hello, Ichigo. How are you this morning? Oh, my. Your face is all wet, what happened?"

He growled and sat down. His dad hit him on the back. "Ichigo! Good morning! Would you like some breakfast?"

Ichigo coughed. "Yes."

Yuzu gave him a bowl. "We're having cereal today." She poured him some.

Ichigo took his napkin and dried his face off. Karin turned to him. "Ichi-nii, Kuchiki-san says that you two have something important to do today." She took a bite of her cereal.

Ichigo stared at Rukia. He thought. Something important. Something important. Something…import…ant. No, he couldn't think of anything. So he just nodded. "Yes, very important." He took a bite of his cereal.

Rukia stood up. "Well, I think I better go. Late to school and all that." She smiled at Ichigo.

"Oh, right. I have to get dressed." Ichigo stood up. "Thanks for breakfast." He walked up the stairs.

When they got in the room Ichigo started changing. Rukia jumped. "Aaa!" She got in the closet quickly and shut the door. "You have to give me warning!"

"You're so immature." He put on a shirt. "It's not like I'm going to be totally naked or something."

"I'm not listening!" Rukia put her hands up to her ears.

He finished changing. "You can come out, now."

She opened the door a little and peeked out. Then she jumped to the floor. She fixed her skirt and cleared her throat. "Well, shall we go?" They started walking out.

He turned to her. "So what do we have to do today that's important?"

"Everyone's getting together to go hollow hunting." Rukia looked in her bag. "Don't you remember me telling you that?"

"No. You never told me that." He brought his hands up in the air.

She looked up at him. "I didn't…oh. Well I am now." She smiled. "Oh, and by the way. We're going all out. So we'll be in Bankai and Chad's using his most powerful…arm… and Ishida is wearing his outfit."

"What about Inoue?" Ichigo blinked.

Rukia narrowed her eyes. "Well. She's going to be very ferocious." She took out her soul pager. "I just hope we find some hollows."

When they got to class Orihime smiled. "Are you ready for tonight!" She tried to look vicious. It didn't work.

Ishida looked at Rukia. "I doubt we find enough hollows to make it worth while. I could make it worth while rather easily if you wanted." He adjusted his glasses.

Ichigo and Rukia looked at him. "No!"

He stared at them. "Alright."

Chad sat at his desk.

Ichigo and Rukia sat down in their seats. Class began.

The rest of the day dragged on as it always did until finally the last bell rang. Everyone walked to the front of the school. "Is everyone ready?" Rukia led them to the park. They nodded. "Alright, then." Rukia opened her bag and took out Kon, throwing him at Ichigo. "Use him today."

Ichigo caught him. "Fine." He pulled the pill out of his body and swallowed it. Kon separated from him. Ichigo looked at him. "Just stay out of trouble."

"Right, right." Kon walked away.

"Go back to my house, understand!" Ichigo pointed at him as he walked away.

"I will!" Kon walked away.

Rukia took out her Chappy dispenser and popped a pill, changing into her Shinigami form. "Chappy." Chappy looked at her. "Stay right there."

Chappy smiled and sat down on the ground. "Sure!"

Rukia looked over to Chad, who had his white arm by that time. Ishida was wearing his Quincy outfit. She stood back. "How did that happen?"

He looked away. "I told you before; I can be extremely fast when it's important."

Orihime looked at all of them. She brought her hands up to her petals and smiled a little. "Yeah."

Then Ichigo and Rukia changed into Bankai and they all started walking away. As they were walking Ishida turned to Ichigo. "You should really get a Quincy outfit, Kurosaki. You look ridiculous holding a bow and wearing a kimono at the same time."

Ichigo stared at him with a strange look on his face. "Me, in a Quincy outfit?" He shook his head. "No way. It'd just be weird."

Rukia nudged him. "It might be fun. I'd love to see that."

He sighed. "Where would I even get one? It's not like you can just go to a store and buy something like that."

Ishida moved his glasses up. "I could make one for you."

Ichigo turned to him. "You'd do that?"

He nodded. "If it meant seeing you in a Quincy outfit, yes."

Ichigo thought about that. "Huh. Yes. Please, make one for me."

"Alright." They kept walking. "I'll make one. What do you want it to look like?"

Ichigo shook his head a little. "No idea."

Rukia put a hand out. "He definitely wants a little cape."

Ichigo looked appalled. "No, no little capes."

"Little capes are staples of Quincy outfits, Kurosaki." Ishida closed his eyes and nodded. "You probably want one."

"Eh…" Ichigo sighed. "Fine." He looked serious. "Does it have to be white?"

Ishida looked offended. "What do you mean does it have to be white?" He glanced to the sky. "That's like…asking…I don't even know what it's like asking. There's nothing to compare it to, Kurosaki. It has to be white." He crossed his arms and stared ahead.

"Fine." Ichigo looked ahead as well.

Chad's arm disappeared. "I will wait until a hollow appears. People may look at me as though I am strange."

"Good idea." Rukia nodded.

Then they all looked at Ishida. He looked down at his outfit. "What? I'm proud of my Quincy outfit. I don't mind people seeing me in it." Some people walked by and whispered as they saw him. He ducked behind Rukia.

"First of all, I thought you just said you were proud." Ichigo stared at him. "Second of all, people can't see Rukia right now, so that doesn't help."

Ishida stood up and walked beside everyone. "There was just a breeze. I was cold. I…" He looked to his right. "A hollow. It's not too far from here."

Rukia's soul pager went off. She opened it. "He's right. It's about two blocks away."

They all looked at each other. "Well." Orihime smiled. "Let's go!" She started running. They all started running after her.

When they got there they surrounded the hollow. Ishida yelled, "Who's going to kill it?"

"What if we all kill it!" Orihime put a hand in the air.

"At the same time?" Rukia smiled.

"Yes." Chad stood there and had Brazo Izquierda del Diablo appear.

The hollow roared.

At the same time: Ichigo yelled "Getsuga…Tenshou!" and flung spirit particles from his katana, Rukia said, "Tsugi no mai: aizu!" and shards of ice fell from the sky in a line, Chad brought his arm back, "La…Muerte" he let off power from his arm, Ishida let his cross drop and pulled back an arrow, letting it go, Orihime brought her hands up to her petals "Koten Zanshun!" and Tsubaki flew out and towards the hollow. At the same time all of their attacks hit the hollows head and it disappeared.

Ishida let his bow disappear. "I believe that is what they refer to as 'over kill.'"

"The poor hollow didn't stand a chance." Rukia shook her head.

They all stood there, looking at each other. Ichigo shrugged his shoulders. "Now what?"

Orihime stepped forward. "W-well. If you guys want, you could come over to my place and have tea?" She brought her hands up to her stomach. "But…you don't have to." She looked down.

Rukia's Bankai disappeared. "Sounds good to me." She sheathed her katana. "But I should probably get my gigai back, first."

After getting Chappy, which took far longer than it should have, they walked to Orihime's apartment.

Orihime smiled. "I'll just go pour some tea." She walked into the kitchen.

Everyone was sitting on the ground. "So…" Ichigo looked around.

Ishida looked at him. "Did you have an epiphany, Kurosaki? Have you decided what your Quincy outfit should look like?"

"All I know is that it's going to have a little cape." Ichigo pointed at him. "Oh, and can I have those katana things that you have?"

"Not unless you want to steal them from Urahara." Ishida shook his head.

"You stole them from Urahara?"

Ishida looked up. "Oh, that's right. You didn't know that. Yes, yes I did." He smiled. "Yeah." He looked away. "Anyways. If you want them, you could always ask." He narrowed his eyes. "No, no don't. Cause then he'd know I stole some. So, you just can't have any. Sorry."

"Tch." Ichigo crossed his arms.

"Ichigo." Rukia pulled out a drawing pad from her bag. "Just tell me what you think you want your outfit to look like and I'll draw it for you so Ishida can know what to go off of." She took a black marker. "Go on."

He stared at her. "I'd rather die than have your drawings be his muse." She threw the pad at him. "Ow!" He brought his hand up to his face.

"I think it's a good idea." Ishida took the pad and gave it back to Rukia. "Just tell her what kinds of things you'd want."

Ichigo looked annoyed. "Fine." He looked up. "Well we already know there's going to be a little cape and it's going to be white." He looked to the side. "Umm."

"Hmm…" Rukia started drawing. "There." She showed Ichigo the picture.

His expression dropped. "That's exactly what Ishida's outfit looks like."

Rukia looked at the drawing. "So it is." She turned to the next page. "Let's see."

Orihime walked out. "Here's everyone's tea!" She had a tray and set it down on the table. She handed one to everyone. "Enjoy." She sat down.

Rukia stared at her pad of paper. She tapped it with her marker. Then she started drawing. Everyone watched her. She kept drawing. She kept drawing. She continued to keep drawing. Then she stopped. "Yes." She nodded. "I do believe this is the outfit Ichi should wear."

"Did you just call me 'Ichi'?" Ichigo sat forward.

She turned the pad of paper around. Everyone stared at it. She nodded. "To amazed to say anything? I understand. My work incites emotion that is beyond words." She looked impressive.

Orihime smiled. "I actually like it."

Chad nodded. "Yes."

Ishida looked away. "It would work."

Ichigo stared at it. "It's not bad. I guess." It had a cape that didn't come together in the front as much as the one Ishida's had currently. The top came down a-symmetrically in a slant past his waist. "Yeah." Ichigo pointed at Ishida. "Yeah, I want that."

"Alright." Ishida moved his glasses up. "I will make it, then."

"Thanks."

Rukia tore out the piece of paper and give it to Ishida. "There you go." He took it and folded it up.

They all took drinks of their tea. Orihime yawned. "I guess it's getting kind of late."

Everyone looked out of the window. It was dark out. "Yeah." Ishida stood up. "It's probably a good idea to head home."

Everyone stood up. Rukia's soul pager went off. They all stared at it. She laughed a little. "Anyone up for some overkill?"
