"Hello, My name Ugaki. My Doll's name is Gesell. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The voice came out of nowhere.
Ichigo was enraged, "What the hell kind of game are you playing?"
"If you would listen I would tell you. We Bounts are in the business of eating souls. With the Bittos help we have manage to collect a vast number of souls. We consume the concentrated souls and gain unimaginable power for us and our dolls. Yet despite this we can't find happiness. Even when we tried to fit in you treated us like freaks."
"Well thank you for that marvelous introduction. Now it's my turn."
Ichigo and the others turned to look at the speaker. It was Yuu. She was wearing a true blue long sleeve shirt with bell sleeves and a pair of black skinny jeans. The shoelaces on her boots and her hair tie were the same color as Ichigo's hair. Yuu was standing with the heel of her left foot touching the toes of her right. Her left elbow and wrist were both bent. Yuu was holding an unsealed Kakuchū no Ryū in a carefree manner. The ribbon trailed down to where her right hand was cupping her left elbow. She looked confident but not cocky.
"My name is Yuu Katsu. I think you're a monster for consuming innocent souls. My Zanpakutō spirit, Daidaiiro no Ryū, is already on its way to find you."
Ichigo stared in shock for a moment. Then he leapt up and rushed to Yuu. He threw both of his arms around her. Yuu was caught by surprise. Ichigo normally didn't give into public displays of affection. It didn't take long for her to return the gesture. Ichigo pulled away and gripped her shoulders tight enough to leave bruises.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Ichigo. I'm sorry I took so long to get here. I took a shower."
"What happened last night?"
"I was training. I know I should have picked a better spot. I'm sorry. Thanks for moving me to Mr. Urahara's."
Ichigo shook his head, "Before that, did he do something to you?"
"Who: him? No I just got a nasty surprise when I went out to fight Hollows. About," Yuu tapped her eyes with her right hand in a peace sign, "These."
Ichigo nodded; he understood. "Did he show up?"
"No, not for a second."
"Got it. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Except for the bruises on my shoulders, I'm fine."
Ichigo jerked his hands back, "Sorry. You should scare me like that."
Yuu nodded, "So what's the plan?"
Ichigo turned to look at the rest of the group, "Orihime you stay here and tend to Rangiku's and Rukia's wounds. Chad you need to stay and protect them. Renji and I will follow Yuu to where the Bount is."
"What about us?" Ririn asked
"You guys stay here."
Everybody nodded and Rangiku spoke up, "I'll follow as soon as my wounds are healed. Izuru, Yumichika and, Shūhei should be ahead."
"Right, Renji let's go. Yuu lead the way."
Yuu flew forward. Renji and Ichigo raced after her. Yuu pointed Kakuchū no Ryū out in front of her.
"Light it up, Aka no Ryū! I want it to be bright enough so there can't be shadows."
The warrior dragon complied the resulting red light was almost blinding.
"I knew you could light things up but not that bright," Renji remarked.
"Training," Yuu smiled a self-assured smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry I implied you weren't smart." Renji said.
"Don't mention it. Sometimes I forget myself."
"Shūhei! Izuru! Are you okay?" Renji asked.
"I'm alright though I can't say I came away unscratched." Shūhei answered.
"I'm fine," Izuru said.
"Get ready! Aka is about to go out!" Yuu informed the group. Swarms of eyes began to gather.
"Damn." Ichigo and Yuu pressed their backs together. "It's been a while since we've been back to back hasn't Yuu."
"Hado number 31: Shakkahō!" Yuu held the red sphere of light in her right hand. Yuu stared at it for a moment and it split in to a cluster of daggers. "Fly!" Yuu tossed her hand out causing the daggers to attack the eyeballs. Each dagger took out a ball apiece.
"That's new too," Renji stated.
"Do you remember the mansion, how I lost control?" Yuu asked
Both Ichigo and Renji responded, "Yes."
"I've got control now of it now. Hado number 31: Shakkahō!" Yuu repeated her new trick.
"How did you do that so fast?" Renji asked
Yuu scoffed at the red head's question, "I'm a genius remember."
Yuu's actions had not completely destroyed the shadows. A hand attacked Yuu while she was discussing her new techniques.
"Raise your head Wabisuke!" Izuru Kira intercepted the attack.
"Fire Aka no Ryū!"
Aka no Ryū attacked the base while Lieutenant Kira struck the top continuously. Aka no Ryū flew back home. The hand collapsed.
"What?" Ugaki's voice rang out.
"That is the power of my Wabisuke. Every time I strike something its weight doubles. I strike again and the weight doubles again."
Yuu perked up, "That is awesome!"
Ichigo elbowed her in the stomach and whispered in her ear, "Don't do that!
"Ow! What did I do?"
Ichigo hissed, "He is standing right there!"
"What? Oh! Oops! How do I fix it?" Yuu's eyes got wide.
"I don't know! I just know that complimenting another guy in front of the guy you like is bad."
Shūhei was watching the exchange with amusement. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he had a pretty good idea what is. Yuu looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. Shūhei decided to take pity on his girl.
"It is pretty cool," he flashed Yuu a small smile
Yuu obviously relaxed. Then she grew tense again. She cursed herself; now was not the time to be worried about her love life. She had to focus on the battle. Another hand in the form of a spiked ball came after Izuru.
"Fire Aka no Ryū!"
Shūhei moved to defend his friend. Aka no Ryū came to support him in holding the ball back.
"Now Izuru!" Shūhei said.
Izuru swiftly attacked the ball with his Wabisuke. The weight soon became too much and the ball fell to the ground. The hands and the eyeballs vanished as the Bount called his doll back. Yuu started forward again. The boys followed but then the roof started to cave in.
Ichigo looked back, "Izuru! Shūhei!"
"Go on ahead!" Shūhei yelled.
"We'll find another route. Yumichika should be ahead." Izuru informed them
Ichigo nodded, "Right."
Yuu took a precious moment to cast Shūhei a worried glance and cursed herself again. She turned to find the Bount. Shūhei had been a Lieutenant for longer then she had been alive, he could handle himself. Ichigo and Renji followed after her.
Yuu skated to a stop. Renji and Ichigo stopped next to her. The three combatants stared at the sight in front of them. Yumichika was lying on the ground.
"Yumichika," exclaimed Renji.
"Something's coming!" Ichigo said.
Soon they were swarmed by eye dolls. While Ichigo and Renji swung their swords around Yuu took aim.
"Fire Ao no Ryū!"
The dragon had to duck and weave to reach its target. Finally it reached its destination just in time. Ao no Ryū sank in to Yumichika just as the eyes cause a set of five shadows to appear. The shadows became one shape as Yumichika struggled to wake up.
"What?" Yumichika was groggy
"Get out of there!" Yuu and both of the boys yelled.
Yumichika managed to flash away from the danger, "I was beat. I'll never be able to show my face to Captain Zaraki."
"Yep," Yuu said brightly. "That's Kidō keeping you alive."
Renji stared at Yuu, "You are in a strangely good mood today."
Yuu clapped her right hand to the barrel of Kakuchū no Ryū, "I know right."
"I know why," Ichigo almost sang.
Yuu shrugged, exasperatedly, "Of course you know why. How long have you known me?"
"Here's my question," Ichigo asked, "Why aren't you using it?"
"Using what?" Renji interjected.
Yuu smiled a sly smile and her eyes got narrow as they froze, "Maki Ichinose will pay for what he did."
"Of course he will." Ichigo's cold tone matched his, 'cousin's'. "I take it you're keeping it as an ace up your sleeve."
Yuu's eyes melted, "Well I don't want to, I don't know, point out you current lack." Yuu smiled a bright smile.
"Thank you for that."
Meanwhile Renji and Yumichika started at the two friends.
"I have a favor to ask," Renji said.
"What is it?" Yumichika asked.
"If Yuu Katsu ever talks about me looking like that please warn me."
"Come now she can't be that bad; she is beautiful."
Renji scoffed, "She is gorgeous, I give you that, but so is a fire and, both will burn you."
Yumichika considered that, "Well that's interesting."
The doll finished forming. It was a black giant without eyes and a nasty looking set of teeth. It had red lines that traced its abdominal muscles and shoulders. It didn't have any legs. It just merged with the shadow on the ground where its hips should have been
"Yuu, Ichigo I want you to leave this one to me." Renji informed them
Ichigo reacted with mild shock, "What?"
Yuu dusted a piece of imaginary lint off her shoulder.
"Kisuke Urahara taught me about teamwork and I finally understand that. But I think it's made me soft. It's like Yumichika said. The way of the Soul Reaper is the one on one fight and the only good way to lose is to die. So if I'm going to die I'm going to go all out."
"But Renji," Ichigo said.
"I couldn't even save a single Human child. There was a moment when I hesitated, think that one of you would come along to help me. As a result I put that boy danger. Since coming to the World of the Living I've felt myself going soft. If I don't get my soul back to where it was how can I return to the Soul Society? Beside we know there are other Bounts. You'll need to save your stamina or you won't have anything left to finish it."
Ichigo started to protest but Yuu beat him to it, "Cross becoming a Soul Reaper off my list of things to do."
Yumichika was confused, "What?"
"I believe in being able to depend on you partner. But I understand what you're saying Renji." Yuu's eyes were intense as she made eye contact with the Lieutenant. "I even believe it as well. If you can't defend those who can't defend themselves by yourself what good are you? But you have to remember; we all make mistakes, we all misjudge situations. The trick is to learn from them. But here's the part I don't get. Okay you lose, why should you have to die? Live, learn; fight better in the next fight. And when you do die, die in such a manner that proves you were the best warrior you could be. So I'll let you fight this battle alone, but don't you dare die. Get stronger!"
"You really want to fight Gesell one on one. How reckless off you." The Bount laughed
Renji jumped to avoid an attack, "Ban Kai!" There was a cloud of dust a spiritual pressure, "Hihiō Zabimaru!"
"Ichigo you should try and find Kariya. I'll stay here and keep Yumichika alive using Ao," Yuu could see Ichigo's restlessness.
"Right thanks!" Ichigo flashed off using Shunpo.
Yuu sat down to watch the battle.
"You're sitting down?" Yumichika asked.
"Yes and as your doctor I suggest you do too." Yuu was focused on the battle.
Yumichika sat down, "Doctor, hum, one of my favorite games.'
"Will you shut up? No Renji the other way!" Yuu said "This is not getting stronger!
"Ouch a spark, you've burned me." Yumichika said coyly.
Yuu turned to glare at him, "I'm not sure but I think you are flirting with me. It stops now or I'll cut out your tongue." Yuu turned back to the battle. "Renji look out!"
"Just watch Yuu!" Renji shouted
"Shutting up." Yuu started biting her lip.
"Will you stop that?" Renji wasn't looking at Yuu when he yelled at her.
"What?" Yuu got defensive. "I'm not doing anything!"
"Biting your lip; it proves you're worried and that is distracting."
Yuu slapped her right hand over her mouth.
"It is an ugly habit." Yumichika said.
Yuu turned to stare at him with disbelief and shock on her face, "Will you shut up? I don't care what you think and you're wasting time flirting with me. So stop."
Yuu turned back to watch the fight. She was just in time to see the segments of Hihiō Zabimaru impale the doll. The doll staggered about. It didn't seem like it would recover. Yuu smiled; she really was in a strangely good mood.
The doll attacked a wall revealing its master. The Bount was terrified and Yuu frowned in concentration. It was clear that Ugaki had lost control of Gesell. The Bount began to cry for his master's assistance. It wasn't working. The doll grabbed its master in one giant hand and started to squeeze. The Bount cried out it pain. However it was soon over. The doll disappeared in a blaze of light. Yuu's right hand shot forward. She seemed to be affecting the light's fading; it didn't fade as fast as it should have.
That must have been a good thing because the roof started to cave in. Yumichika rose to try and save Renji but he was too slow. A light pierced though the ruble and Renji appeared unharmed.
"Renji you're alright." Yumichika exclaimed.
Renji ignored him and stalked over to where Yuu was still sitting. He glared down at her. Yuu bent her neck to look at him.
"Yes Lieutenant?"
"New trick uh?"
"Yes Sir," Yuu smiled cheekily.
"There are times when I think you are the sweetest person in the world."
"Why, thank you but that would be Orihime."
"And then there are times, just like this one, that I worry about what would happen if you decided you wanted to rule the world."
"Thank you, I think." Yuu was still smiling.
Renji scowled, "Then I remember that you can't focus for longer than five minutes and that's only if it's truly important."
"That's true."
"Then I remember that if you asked Ichigo to take over the world for you; he would."
"Also true."
"And in the end I come to the conclusion that we are damn lucky you're are on our side."
Yuu was still smiling, "I'm confused: are you scared of me?"
Renji denied it, "I am a Lieutenant of the Gotei 13. I'm not afraid of a girl from the World of the Living."
"Of course, silly me," Yuu was in a great mood.
Yuu's attention was pulled away as Daidaiiro no Ryū came back to her. Yuu extended her right fist and her spy landed one it.
/Ichigo has confronted the Bounts./
Yuu rose from the ground in a fluid motion "Show me where."
Daidaiiro took off in the direction that Ichigo had run off in earlier. Yuu flew after the dragon. It lead her though a twist of corridors and in to an open area. Yuu called Daidaiiro no Ryū back to her and stopped next to Ichigo.
"Leave the World of the Living?" Ichigo was asking Kariya a question in response to something Yuu had missed.
"Told you," Yuu said as she reached Ichigo. "They're headed to the Soul Society."
"Now that's interesting," Kariya said. "How did you figure that out?"
Yuu scowled, "I'm not stupid. In fact I bet I'm smarter than you. Ichigo, would you say that I'm smarter than him?"
"Definitely," Ichigo responded without missing a beat.
"Impossible," Ichinose retorted.
Yuu raised her eyebrow and dusted off her shoulder, "I'm definitely smarter than you."
"You are being really calm about Ichinose," Ichigo said. "Are you okay?"
Yuu shrugged, "He'll get what's coming to him. Just let me know when you attack Kariya. That way when he tries to block you, I can block him."
"Right. Get ready."
Koga began to chant in what sounded like German. Behind the Bounts a Senkaimon began to form. Soon Ichinose took over control.
"Let's go
Yuu fell into her battle mindset; everything got brighter and sound seemed duller. She watched as Ichigo rushed the leader of the Bounts. To her disappointment Ichinose didn't move. It looked like Koga was preparing to defend him.
"Damn," Yuu's voice sounded like an echo to her ears, "I guess we have to wait for the grand finale. This is just an encore."
Yuu took aim at Ichinose, "Fire Aka no Ryū!"
What she thought would happen did: Koga sent Dalk to interfere. The metal doll sent out a spray of bullets. Yuu flashed out of the way. She shaped her right hand like she was holding something.
"Hado number 4: Byakurai!"
Yuu shaped the lightning in to a whip and knocked several of the balls out of the air. Yuu flipped the whip to make contact with the doll made out of metal balls. The result was spectacular. Dalk was forced to retreat.
Yuu smirked, "Finally. Aka get ready."
Yuu flashed to a point that wasn't point blank but was close enough that there was no way she could miss. Someone grabbed her collar and tossed her like a beanbag. It looked like Koga decided to get his hands dirty. Yuu flip herself and landed in a crouch with her right fingertips splayed on the ground. Yuu frowned. She would have to be smarter.
Yuu looked around examining all the angles. She could destroy the Senkaimon. Wrong: she didn't know how to do that. She could distract Koga with a Kidō and then go after Ichinose with Aka no Ryū. Wrong: there were other Bounts. Yuu bit her lip and tasted blood. Okay forget about killing Ichinose; focus on stopping the Bounts from going to the Soul Society. She could help Ichigo fight Kariya. Wrong: she would just get in the way. She could kill the other Bounts. Wrong: there were too many of them. Yuu saw something from the corner of her eye. She passed over it and then flipped back to stare at it. Yuu's face grew horrified.
Ichigo was struggling to reach Zangetsu. Kariya was just staring at him. There was a flash and Kariya was pointing Zangetsu at Ichigo. Yuu flashed to stand behind Kariya. She pointed her revolver at the madman.
"Fire Aka no Ryū!
Yuu didn't expect it to do any good but she managed to distract Kariya. Ichigo grabbed Zangetsu's blade with both his hands. He forced the blade forward and into his own chest. Yuu never faltered but Kariya was shocked.
"What?" He couldn't comprehend it.
"Ichigo is good, Kariya," The leader of the Bounts turned to stare at Yuu. "Pure and simple good. You, Kariya are evil, and that's a fact.
When Kariya looked back at Ichigo, Ichigo was holding Zangetsu straight out. Ichigo grabbed his upper right arm with his left hand.
"Thanks for putting up with me Yuu. I'm ready to protect everyone. Ban Kai!" Ichigo stated; he didn't yell. There was a flare-up of spiritual pressure. "Tensa Zangetsu!"
"Not a problem Ichigo." Yuu danced to the edge of the battlefield.
Yuu was looking forward to this. She had never seen Ichigo's Ban Kai in battle before. She had been the first person to see it after he had achieved it but, that was training. Yuu had no hope of being able to watch the fight. Ichigo just moved too fast. Ichigo streaked forward to attack Kariya. The two fighters met in a clash of spiritual pressures. Yuu felt, rather than heard the hiss of pleasure that left her mouth.
"Incredible, they move so fast!" The Bount that Yuu had faced with Orihime last night spoke up. "I can't see them!"
Yuu saw this Bount from the corner of her eye. He had orange hair and was dressed like a cross between a skater and a surfer. Yuu kept most of her attention on the battle. This was an unexpected bonus of last night's training.
"Perhaps, then Bounts aren't as superior as they make themselves out to be." Yuu's voice sounded faraway and echoy to her.
"You can't see it either, you insignificant creature!" The Bount sounded even farther away.
Yuu could see every move. Her eyes flashed across the cave as the two participates darted around each other. Yuu could see everything: every time Ichigo swung his sword and every time Karyia raised his arms to block. Yuu could also see every move the other Bounts and Ichinose made. But Yuu could tell that her hearing had been dulled. Yuu's chaotic mind compared the sensation to how a blind man had better hearing than average.
"I can see every move they make, Bount."
Yuu didn't hear Koga, "Zeige Dich Dalk!"
She saw it though and pointed Kakuchū no Ryū at the forming doll, "Fire Aka no Ryū!" She didn't pry any of her attention from Ichigo's battle. "Do you mind? I want to watch this."
Aka no Ryū made contact with doll and bore though the dolls torso. Yet again the doll was forced to retreat. Yin and Yang, Yuu thought, Ichigo was stronger as a human and she was faster. As Soul Reapers it was the other way around, sort of. Ichigo had more spiritual pressure than Yuu so by default he was stronger. Yuu could do just about anything with her spiritual pressure. She had condensed all of her spiritual pressure into Aka no Ryū; allowing the dragon to have more power than it usually had. For a brief moment Yuu had no spiritual pressure at all but then Aka no Ryū came back to her, returning it.
Ichigo and Kariya paused. Ichigo had managed to cut Kariya's check.
"You dodged that one well," Ichigo bantered
Kayira reponsed, "I guess I should give you credit for a good strike."
"I think it's time we put an end to this dance," Ichigo stated
Kariya agreed, "My thoughts exactly."
Just then a bolt of spiritual pressure destroyed a rock in between the two males. Ichigo turned to see what had happened. It was Uryû, dressed as a Quincy. He had a silver bow on his right wrist and his long sleeve jacket and pants were white and his jacket had blue hems.
"Uryû! You're late!" Yuu had turned as well.
The rest of the team arrived as Ichigo listed them off, "Orihime! Chad! Rukia! And Uryû!"
"I've had enough of being a burden to everyone and now I can look out for myself again," Uryû informed them
Yuu scoffed, "Come on do we have to go over it again? You were never a burden!" She cheered up. "How did last night turn out?"
Uryû blushed and pushed his glassed up his nose, "Well, very well. Thank you for your assistance." Uryû grew indigent, "Is now the best time to be talking about this?"
Yuu scoffed again, "When else will we have a chance in our crazy, hectic lives?"
Orihime was blushing too and answered the question, "At school."
"And when was the last time any one of us went to school?" Yuu was making a point.
"You have a point," Uryû conceded.
Ichigo broke in before Yuu could go off on another tangent, "So you have all you Quincy powers back again?"
Uryû answered, "Well most of them but not completely."
Uryû gathered spiritual pressure and formed an arrow. He aimed it at Kariya.
"You best not miss with the next shot Quincy," the Bount said.
Uryû flashed to point blank range, "Believe it or not I didn't miss with last shot."
Kariya addressed Ichinose, "Ichinose is everything ready?"
"Yes Master," Ichinose backed away from the Senkaimon.
Koga moved to stand in front of the gate and began chanting in German again.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ichigo started to move forward.
"Stay where you are Ichigo!" Uryû ordered.
"You have a plan right? Because I'm tired of making plans." Yuu asked
"Yes Yuu. I have a plan." Uryû confirmed.
Yuu nodded and Koga slid the Senkaimon open.
"We've got to hurry! The portal is open!" Ichigo gave a desperate order.
"No it's not quite open yet," Uryû answered and shifted his aim to the Senkaimon.
There were shouts of encouragement for him to destroy it but Ichigo asked, "What are you doing?"
"No time to explain. Just let me do this Ichigo." Uryû requested.
Uryû sent the bolt though the Senkaimon.
Jin Kariya smiled, "Exactly what we needed. Many thanks Quincy. We no longer require your services."
"What does he mean by that?" Ichigo asked
"It means by sending my arrow though it I opened the portal to the Soul Society." Uryû responded.
Yuu flashed in front of Uryû as Kariya sent a gale of wind enhanced with spiritual pressure at the Quincy. She had her pink ribbon stretched out as a shield. The gale pushed Yuu back. She struggled to plant her feet. Yuu could barely hear the shouts of concern behind her. Yuu focused on the gale in front of her. Then it changed directions. It tossed Yuu towards the ceiling of the cave.
Yuu spun and flipped out of control. She managed to hit the rock with her right hand and then with her forehead just above her left eye. Yuu rushed to condense her spiritual pressure beneath her but she lost to gravity. Yuu blinked blood out of her eyes as she tried to land on her feet. She landed on her right knee. She felt the vibrations go through her and knew she had broken her leg in several places. She looked at the center of the cave where Kariya was. Her right hand came up try to staunch the blood from her forehead. She raised Kakuchū no Ryū and aimed at the leader of the Bounts. There was a glow of light and then Yuu was holding a sword.
"Damn!" Yuu cursed
Yuu altered her grip on her sealed Kakuchū no Ryū and grabbed it with her right hand. Her left eye filled with blood. Yuu tried to run forward and fell when her right leg protested. It didn't matter though the Bounts entered the Senkaimon and were out of reach.
Ichigo proceed to yell at Uryû. Chad and Orihime joined the two of them and made a loose circle. There was an empty space between Uryû and Ichigo that Rukia tried to stand in but she just didn't quite fit. The space was too small or too big or both at the same time. Yuu picked herself up and limped towards Ichigo.
"What the hell were you thinking Uryû?" Ichigo said
Yuu laid a hand on his shoulder and managed to take her place in the spot Rukia just couldn't fill. Ichigo turned to look at Yuu.
"We are a team remember Ichigo?" Yuu started. "A loose, badly organized team yes, but a team nonetheless." Yuu turned to look the other Karakura teens in the eye and then back to Ichigo. "We literally took that first step together, remember? The night we went to rescue Rukia. We all have a role to play." Yuu started going down the line while looking at the person she was talking about. "Chad is our offensive player, who takes out the distractions who are formidable in their own right. Orihime is our medic who doesn't need us to defend her; which is an unbelievable asset. You're our leader, strong, determined, the first in to battle and the last to leave." Yuu pointed at herself, "I'm your right hand man. I get the puzzle pieces. Sometimes I can put them together. But most of the time," Yuu turned to pierce Uryû with her blue eyes, "I give them to our team tactician. Uryû is our planner. Let's face it: he is the most logical one here." Yuu turned back to look at her 'cousin'. "If he thinks letting the Bounts go to the Soul Society is a good idea then I trust him." Uryû blinked in surprise and Yuu repeated herself. "I trust him."
Ichigo nodded slowly, "You're right and if there is anything a team needs it is trust."
"So now that we've deiced that trust is important, Uryû, Why did we let them go to the Soul Society?" Yuu asked
"We couldn't settle things here. This tool gathers spiritual pressure. There isn't much of it here but in the Soul Society I'll be able to gather more." Uryû answered.
"That's a pretty cool tool," Ichigo remarked. "Where'd you get it?"
"Nemu Kurotsuchi gave it to me." Uryû said
Yuu have been drifting away from the conversation, her battle high had worn off, but at that statement she snapped back to stared at Uryû, "Wait Nemu Kurotsuchi gave it to you?"
"Yes," Uryû didn't mind confirming for Yuu.
"Nemu Kurotsuchi, the Lieutenant of Twelfth Division gave it to you?"
"Yes Yuu."
"Nemu Kurotsuchi, the daughter of the Head of the Department of Research and Development, Mayuri Kurotsuchi, gave it to you?" Yuu's eyes got wide.
"Yes Yuu. How many times must I say it? Uryû said tersely.
"You idiot!" Yuu said
Rukia was a little put out about being pushed out by Yuu and said, "Oh so you trust him but still think he's an idiot."
"He just wants a Bount to experiment on!" Yuu finished her thought while ignoring Rukia
Uryû looked shocked, "Oops."
Yuu threw her arms up, "Oops! Oops! Is that all you can say?"
Yuu tried to storm off but fell to the ground with a cry of pain. Orihime sent Sōten Kisshun to cover Yuu. Yuu didn't protest and flashed Orihime a grateful smile.
"Now what? Chad asked
Ichigo answered, "We go to the Soul Society and end them!"
"Together," Yuu said.
"That's right," Orihime enthusiastically agreed.
Yuu flashed a look to Uryû who rolled his eyes, "We are a team; together it is."
Author's note: LadyAnnaLee here. I told you that I would post in a week. I have plenty of story it's just in the wrong order. I still have to fill in the blanks. GothChick88 reviewed again. I know just about everyone reading this story knows who Yuu's father is but I'm not going to confirm or deny until Yuu says it. Oh and I just finished writing the start of Visored training. I am way excited for the next chapter. Does anyone have any ideas what I should name Yuu's Ban Kai? I have a name but I thought that I would ask. Well good bye for now. Love, LadyAnnaLee.
Btw: I don't own Bleach but I did think up Yuu and her Kakuchū no Ryū.
PS. GothChick88 I sent you a PM
