Ichigo woke up with a groan and opened his eyes, he felt stiffness in his body but no pain "Funny, I should be in pain right now" He pushed himself up and looked around the abandoned warehouse he found himself in

"I see your awake" Ichigo jerked his head and stiffened when he heard a voice but relaxed when he saw Yoruichi to the right of him "Raven healed all of your wounds and exhausted herself carrying you here, you were lucky we were watching you" The Orangette looked beside him at his sleeping lover and smiled, he remembered hearing her voice in his mind and the Spiritual pressure that seeped into him. It gave him the strength to fight and defeat Kenpachi. "Can you wake her up please, we need to think of where to go next" Yoruichi stood on her paws and trotted out the warehouse.

Ichigo turned back to Raven and nudged her shoulder softly "Raven…" She groaned like he did and revealed her blue orbs

"Hi…" She whispered softly, still waking up

"How are you feeling" He replied to her softly whilst pushing her hair away from her face, she sighed and crawled onto his lap

"Pretty good actually, and how are you?"

"Feeling stiff but thanks for healing me"

"Like I was gonna leave you to bleed to death" she nuzzled into his shoulder and kissed his jaw, she was like a cat when she was tired.

"You two done" Yoruichi replied, the two nodded and waited for Yoruichi to continue "At the moment there are no Soul reapers around here so we should leave soon, I found a small house that no one lives in, from there we should head straight for Rukia"

"We should keep an eye out for the others" Raven suggested

"Yes that too, I'll be waiting outside" she turned back around and waited outside

Raven sighed and stood from her spot on Ichigo's lap, she stretched and cracked her neck. She smiled when she felt arms wrapped around her waist and a head nuzzling her shoulder "I hated being away from you for so long Raven"

"We don't always have to be together Ichigo" Raven replied

"But in this place it does…I was sick with fear when I saw you blown away from me…even worse as time went on" Raven turned around in his hold and cupped his face in each hand

"Well I'm here now, and I will never leave you" She leant in and kissed Ichigo soft but sweetly "Come one we need to go" Ichigo nodded and followed Raven out.

Running through the Seretei was no easy task, they had to dodge numerous amounts of Soul reapers but eventually they managed to get themselves to the small house Yoruichi was talking about. "We will stay here and move on tomorrow"

"Good plan Sensei" Raven sat beside Ichigo and smirked as an evil plan made its way into her mind "Hey Yoruichi"

"Yes Raven"

"You know Ichigo hasn't seen you in your human form yet" Yoruichi looked over at Raven and smirked. Before the teenagers eyes, the cat transformed into a dark tanned woman with purple hair and big breasts, Ichigo blushed and moved his face into Raven's breasts, but of course he did not realise his actions

"W-what the hell! You're a woman!" Ichigo screamed

"Just because my voice sounded male did not mean anything"

"Perhaps you should get changed Yoruichi before you give him a heart attack" The purple haired woman nodded and went behind crates to change,

"She's hidden Ichigo you can move your head" Ichigo blinked and looked up, he saw Raven looking down at him. He blinked and looked down at whatever he hid his face in, when he saw what it was he screeched and moved away

"A-ahh sorry Raven!"

"He he its ok Ichigo you actually reacted better than Axel did" Ichigo sighed and looked out the window "Well I'm sneaking out for a bit, I'll be back"

"You shouldn't leave Raven"

"I'm fine Ichigo" She stood from the floor and turned into the white cat, Ichigo blinked and stared at her in shock "What?"

"You can turned into an animal too"

"Yep! See ya" And with that she ran out the room, Yoruichi came back from the crate and sat opposite of him

"Let her go she has always wanted to see what the Soul society looks like, this is the perfect opportunity"

"But what if she gets caught"

"She won't, I trained her so she will be fine" Ichigo sighed and laid back down

"I hope she will be"

With Raven

Raven ran around with wide and fascinated eyes, the Soul society was beautiful…like an ancient Japanese painting brought to life. "This place is amazing" Her smile faded and she slowed her pace when she saw a red haired Soul reaper laying on the floor slowly bleeding out. She speed to his side and looked him over. He had tattoos over his face and body, his red hair was spiky and tied in a high pony tail. She turned into her human form and began healing him.

The red head groaned in pain and opened his eyes, he saw a blonde haired girl with blue eyes healing him with a Kido spell, when he saw the blue streak in her hair he knew who she was "R-Ravella?"

"Ravella? my name is Raven" She tilted her head in confusion but continued to heal him

"You look like someone I once knew…but she died years ago"

"I'm sorry for your loss, can you tell me your name?"

"Its Renji Abarai" She narrowed her eyes at the name, feeling like she knew him but she couldn't…she has never been to the soul society, has she? "Are you another Ryoka?"

"Yes"

"Then why are you healing me?" Renji asked

"Its in my nature to help people who are down, enemy or not"

"You see the Soul reapers as your enemy"

"No I suppose not but…you are going to execute Rukia Kuchiki which I cannot allow" She helped Renji into a sitting position once healed the wounds on his back "Do you believe Rukia should be executed?"

"No, she is my friend and I don't believe she should die" He sounded so depressed, she hated seeing him like that…but why?

"Would you be willing to help us save her?"

"I don't know…" She smiled sweetly at him and stopped the Kido spell, she moved in front of him and grabbed his hands

"You don't have to fight against your allies, work in the shadows and when the time comes you can choose whether to fight or not" She squeezed his hands and stood from the floor "Well I should go back into hiding, I was never here ok?"

"Wait there is something I should tell you?" Raven looked back to the red haired man "Rukia's execution has been moved, she will be executed soon" Raven sighed and looked to the floor, they would have to act soon.

"Thanks for the update Renji, see ya later?" Renji nodded and watched the girl flash step away. He looked at his hands and sighed sadly

"Why does she have to look like Ravella…I would hate to see the look in the captains eyes if he saw her" He sighed once again and pushed himself off the floor, feeling rejuvenated he headed off to his squad barracks and prepared to fight…for Rukia or the soul society he didn't know.

Back with Raven and Ichigo

Raven came back to the small house as quickly as she could "We need to get going, Rukia's execution has been moved"

"WHAT!" Ichigo jumped on his feet and grabbed his sword "We have to get moving"

"Calm down Ichigo you can't fight" Yoruichi said sternly

"I can fight and I will"

"Ichigo listen to Yoruichi you just recovered from your last fight" She placed a hand on his arm but he shrugged her off. "Ichigo please"

"I'm sorry Raven but I have to" He looked away from her and ran out of the house, using Yoruichi's wrist band to create grey like wings to fly him to where he felt Rukia's faint spiritual pressure

"Raven I need you to do something for me" Raven turned back to her Sensei, she saw Yoruichi holding something in her hand. "You will have to shove this into Ichigo's stomach, it will knock him out but heal him"

"Why do I have to shove it in his stomach?"

"It's the fastest way" Raven sighed but nodded "We need to go, I can sense an old friend there and Ichigo won't stand a chance against him" Without another word the two Soul Reapers flash stepped their way to Sokyoku hill.

They saw Ichigo fighting a man with a strong spiritual pressure, he wasn't winning against him at all. "Oh Ichigo" Raven shook her head and landed in front of her boyfriend

"Raven?" Ichigo asked but she didn't turn around, instead she stared at the man Ichigo was fighting.

"Who are you?" The man demanded, shock crossed his face when he looked into Blue eyes with Red sparks shooting through it, it couldn't be Ravella could it?

"My name is Raven Jaeg, who are you?"

"I am Byakuya Kuchiki, captain of squad six" The name sparked a sense of familiarity through Raven which seemed to happen a lot in the soul Society.

"Why did you stop this fight Ryoka?"

"Because Ichigo is not ready to fight Bya-boo" Byakuya turned around with a scowl to look at the traitor known as Yoruichi Shihouin. "Do it now Raven" Raven turned back to Ichigo and thrusted her hand into Ichigo's stomach, he gasped and stared at her with wide eyes.

"R-Raven?" His vision blurred as he felt something travelled through his body, forcing him into a dreamless sleep "Why?" His eyes closed and he slumped against Raven

"Come Yoruichi we need to go" Yoruichi nodded and turned back to Byakuya "You shall have your fight, in three days Ichigo will have trained to become stronger and then you shall have your fight" Yoruichi flash stepped away but Byakuya followed, he caught up to her and slashed her with his Zanpakuto. "You think you are faster than me" He snapped his head around when he saw Yoruichi on his shoulder

"You think you can be faster than me Bya-boo?" She smirked and flash stepped away. Yoruichi led Raven to an underground training area that no one ever goes to. Raven laid Ichigo down and waited for him to wake up. "What now Yoruichi"

"Ichigo will try to reach Bankai within three days"

"Is that possible" Raven asked in shock

"You already had yours the moment you tried it" That was true, when Raven tried Bankai all she did was say Bankai and she achieved it, it was weird to say the least. (That will be explained later)

"Then I know Ichigo will reach Bankai" As if he heard his name, Ichigo began to stir and open his eyes.

"Wha?"

"I'm glad your awake Ichigo?" The Orangette turned his head to look into his girlfriend's eyes.

"Why did you stab me Raven!" He shouted angrily

"I had to inject you with something that could heal you but also knock you out" Ichigo stood and growled at her

"And stabbing me through the stomach is how you do it?" He hissed

"I told her to stab you" Ichigo turned to Yoruichi and scowled "So why don't you clam down so I can explain to you what we are going to do?" Ichigo sighed and nodded her to continue "In three days you will reach Bankai so you can fight Byakuya and save Rukia" she pulled out a weird looking object that resembled a human "This is a Tenshintai, the Tenshintai forcibly materializes the spirit of a Zanpakuto into the Human World when stabbed by the Zanpakuto. In doing so, it facilitates the user in subjugating the spirit and attaining the Bankai of their Zanpakuto, you will have to reach Bankai in three days or it could be damaging to you and your Zanpakuto. You can have some time to think" Without thinking, Ichigo stabbed the Tenshintai and began his training. Tensa Zangestu materializes and stood before his wielder.

"Ichigo, are you ready to reach Bankai?" Zangestu spoke deeply, Raven thought he looked cool with his flowing hair and outfit and those shades that hid his cold and calculating eyes. "Then let's begin" Hundreds of sword suddenly grew from the floor, Raven and Yoruichi had to jump onto a rock due to the swords

"Jesus, a little warning next time" Raven yelled at Zangestu but all she got from the man was a sideways glance.

"Now Ichigo, find my sword and strike me with it" The Orangette nodded and ran over to the first sword he saw, when he attacked Zangestu with it, it broke "That was not my sword, look deep within and you will find it" Ichigo took a deep breath and grabbed the sword that looked like his Shikai, when he blocked Zangestu's attack it broke. "Don't think about the look of the sword, focus on the feel of the sword" Ichigo growled and grabbed another sword.

Sword after sword Ichigo grabbed and each time it broke, two days its taken for him to find his sword with no luck. Luckily for him Zangestu dispersed and turned back into the Tenshintai. "Wait I'm not finished" Ichigo panted out.

"You have one more day to get Bankai, for now relax" Yoruichi jumped from the rock followed by Raven and headed over to the worn out Soul Reaper. "Come one I have something that could help" The two teens followed the purple haired Soul Reaper to a small steamy pond. "This pond has healing properties, so get undressed and hop in" Not thinking about the two women standing before him, he pulled of his soul reaper form and stepped in completely naked. Yoruichi was not affected but Raven was blushing like mad, she has already seen his member but damn every time she saw it she blushed.

"I suppose that I should get in" Yoruichi started to undress, Ichigo waved his arms about and blushed. When she jumped in she turned back into her cat form and paddled around. "You are such a pervert Ichigo, Raven why don't you join us" Raven shrugged and pulled off her uniform, once she was completely naked she stepped in and sighed when she felt her aching muscles loosen. "Ahh this is nice"

"You're not bothered that you're naked Raven" Raven opened up one eye and slid over next to Ichigo.

"No, you?"

"Ahh No" he spoke nervously, taking a small glance at her breasts peeking out of the water.

"Good"

"Perhaps you are the pervert Raven" Yoruichi teases

"I'm more like a closet perv than anything" Raven replied

"Of course, I think I'll leave you two alone" The black cat jumped out of the pool and trotted away.

"Finally we alone again" Raven spoke, Ichigo chuckled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"We were alone two days ago" Ichigo replied

"Yeah two days ago"

"Weren't you the one who said I was clingy?"

"A girl can change her mind" Raven slid herself onto his lap, shivering when she felt his member touching her womanhood. "S-sorry, forgot you were naked aswell"

"Its all good" He gripped her hips and pulled her closer so they we chest to chest, he hissed when her woman hood slid across him. "This is almost like teasing me"

"Your fault not mine" She giggled and kissed him softly, Ichigo sighed and slid his hands to her cheeks. When they finished kissing they stared into each other's eyes.

"Do you think I can reach Bankai by the end of tomorrow?"

"Yes, I believe in you Ichigo" She rested her head against his and sighed "I know that we will be able to save Rukia…I just know it" Ichigo slid his hand back down to her hips and rubbed circles on them.

"I know it too, I will achieve Bankai and together we will save Rukia and the others"

"Come on, we should get back to training" She slid off his lap shivering again when her womanhood slid against his manhood. "Good luck" She stepped out of the pond and grabbed her clothes, she turned back to Ichigo who was looking away from her and sighed. "Good luck" She whispered and walked away to get changed.
