[Cave, the next day]

After a full day in Hueco Mundo of nothing but constant pleasure, all of the occupants inside of the cave were beyond exhausted. For Ichigo, his lust and instincts and finally died down after ejaculating over twenty times inside and on all five women. Speaking of women, all five of them were left a drooling mess all along the floor. Halibel and her followers were left all throughout the hard ground, covered head to toe in dried up and fresh seed. Ulquiorra was in the same boat as they were, but she was snuggled up into Ichigo's arms as they laid on what was left of his clothes. His mask was still off and he had a content smile on his face as he held Ulquiorra in his arms.

What can I say? It was a hell of a night.

[Karakura Town]

A black cat was making its way down a busy street, avoiding everyone in its path in the process. It's golden eyes scanning the surrounding area and seemingly sighing in response to something in particular. It had been a few days since the disappearance of a certain orange haired teen and things were looking rather bleak at the moment. The cat sighed as it knew exactly why it was called by a certain former soul reaper captain turned shop keeper.

'You better have a hell of a plan Kisuke.'
It thought to itself as the black feline ran through the alleyways to make it to a certain candy shop.

Speaking of candy shops, right now Kisuke was putting the finishing touches on his makeshift garganta in order to save Ichigo. That kid was way too valuable an asset to loose this early in the game and the former captain knew that without question. There was no telling what exactly Aizen has put in his head about the spiritual worlds or even the soul society as a whole. All Kisuke knew was that he needed to ensure that Ichigo was on their side no matter what the cost.

"Boss!"
Tessai shouted from the top of a ladder leading into the shop from the underground training area.

Kisuke turned his head slightly as he continued working.
"Yes Tessai, send her down."
Unsurprising to the man, the black cat dropped down in the training grounds, landing gracefully on its feet. Kisuke didn't even turn around to meet golden eyes.
"So glad you could join us, Yoruichi. Your clothes are over there by the way."

The cat turned towards one of the rocks and saw a pair of tight black leggings, an orange vest, a tight black undershirt, and tan boots. The cat turned back towards Kisuke.
"How bad is everything now Kisuke?"
It asked in a deep, masculine voice with a hint of irritation to it.

Kisuke sighed, knowing that tone of voice from his companion.
"Pretty bad all things considered."
He stopped working on his device and turned towards the cat.
"You already know that Ichigo has been taken to Hueco Mundo by an unknown hollow of sorts."

"And you think Aizen had something to do with it?"
Yoruichi finished for him.

Kisuke nodded, removing his hat to look to it with a concerned look.
"I could really use your help with this one Yoruichi."

Yoruichi narrowed its eyes, seeing and hearing just how important this boy was from Kisuke. Sighing at the situation, the cat began to grow and transform. Smoke began to come off of its form as it stood on two, slender and dark skinned legs. They stood up fully to show a woman with dark skin, bright golden eyes and long dark purple hair. She looked back up to see that her friend had barely reacted to her sudden transformation, signifying that the situation was in fact dire.

With another sigh, she walked over to the set of clothes laid out for her.
"Then lets go and save this kid Kisuke."

Kisuke smiled lightly to her words as she began to dress herself. He turned back around to work on his machine, unaware of the subtle glance of concern in those golden eyes looking his way.

[Hueco Mundo, hours later]

Ichigo slowly opened his eyes once more, feeling even more reinvigorated than he has ever felt. He had so much energy in him now that just needed to be let out right then and there. Looking back down, he noticed that Ulquiorra was still asleep, her head still on his chest and with a content smile plastered on her face. Ichigo in turned smiled down at her, enjoying that look she had and kissed her gently on the exposed part of her forehead. Carefully and slowly, he was able to remove her from his person and lay her head down gently as not to wake her up. Once he had successfully done so without waking her up, Ichigo looked around the cave noticing that someone was missing. Grabbing his cleaver and forgetting that he was completely in the nude, Ichigo quietly made his way out of the cave. He looked around for a brief moment before closing his eyes and focusing on her specific energy. After the long night he had with all five hollows turned beautiful women, tracking their energy was child's play. After a few minutes Ichigo felt it not too far off, but something was wrong. It felt like she was fighting against a several other hollows. Popping his neck and other joints a few times, Ichigo ran towards her, hoping that nothing bad was happening to her.

About four or five miles away from the cave, Halibel was standing in the center of many lustful eyes. It made sense since she was standing there in the nude with only her own blade in hand. The hollows in question looked like low level adjucha, nothing all too special, and every one had their eyes fixed solely on her naked form. Halibel didn't seem too bothered by their leering eyes, but she was definitely irritated by how simple minded these creatures were.

"And just who might you be?"
One of the hollows spoke, lust clearly lacing his words.

Halibel said nothing as she looked around the unimpressive mass of adjucha with bored eyes. None of these creatures could even hope to defeat her, and she knew that. The hollows around her began to become impatient as she was just standing there, unmoving and silent. One rather bold adjucha decided that he was done waiting and wanted a piece of her for himself. It was some kind of frog-like adjucha with green skin and a frog mask of sorts. He leapt like a frog straight at her, intent on 'claiming' this beautiful female as his own. How wrong was he. As soon as he was within arms length of her, Halibel had disappeared sight. The frog hollow landed on his feet, frozen in place.

"The hell?"
One of the adjucha spoke as he and all of the others watched, confused on how she disappeared so fast, not caring for their frozen comrade.

"Pathetic."
The smooth, soothing voice laced with irritation spoke from behind a few adjucha.

They quickly turned around and saw Halibel walking away from them, hollowed out blade in hand and being slowly sheathed inside a large scabbard. Just as one of them were about to pounce onto her, several screams could be heard from behind the group. They turned and saw to their shock and terror, several of their comrades had been cut down. About half of their forces, dead in a matter of seconds all by the woman walking away from them. The remaining adjucha wanted to attack her. They turned around in order to confront her for what she had done to them, but as soon as they did, they were met by an odd sight. A garganta had opened up, but not like most garganta where there was a smooth line to signify a hollow entering Hueco Mundo. This garganta was jagged and broken up, almost like someone had no clue how a true portal to the land of hollows was formed.

The makeshift garganta appeared in front of Halibel, causing her to stop dead in her tracks and ready her blade. She felt two strong presences coming through as the garganta finally opened up in a grotesque manner. Halibel narrowed her eyes as two figures leapt out of the garganta and landed a few meters away from her, backs turned. Halibel saw a man wearing some sort of cloak to conceal himself while the second person was clearly a woman wearing the same type of cloak as the man had. Their spirit energy was hard to read as they felt strong to Halibel, but she couldn't truly gauge their strength.

"Well, well now."
The man started as he removed the hood off his cloak to reveal dirty blond hair.
"It looks like I was right."
He turned to his companion and gave her a wry smile as he pulled out a fan from somewhere on his person.
"Looks like you owe me an apology for having such little faith in my inventions, Yoruichi."
He spoke in a bit of a snide way to the now named Yoruichi.

"Well when you say 'this could potentially blow up as we use it' just seconds before turning the damn thing on,"
She removed her hood and long purple hair in a high ponytail spilled out.
"you can expect me not to have a shred of faith in you Kisuke."

Kisuke, as he was named by her, chuckled slightly at that and the two turned as they felt multiple hollows rushing their way. The first thing they saw was quite interesting as Halibel stood there in all her glory, giving Kisuke and Yoruichi an eyeful. While Kisuke actually liked what he saw, Yoruichi was a tad on the jealous side that this female hollow decided to just go commando in battle yet she was told not to by Kisuke. Life just wasn't fair to her.

The group of remaining adjucha had rushed them, intent on not only avenging their fallen by claiming Halibel, but also to kill these two newcomers that were clearly not hollow-like in any sense of the word. The two readied themselves as the group approached, assuming that this woman was the leader, so imaging their surprise when Halibel took her blade and sent a wave of yellow energy off towards the group, erasing them all from existence.

"Okay then."
Kisuke started as he brought out his own zanpakuto.
"An arrancar that has no army of her own. Interesting."

"Who are you two?"
Halibel asked as she pointed her blade towards them in a threatening manner.

"We're not here looking for a fight."
Yoruichi began, sensing that this arrancar would only be a threat if they made her one.
"We're just looking for someone to bring back with us to the world of the living. He was kidnapped a few days ago and brought here."

Halibel wanted to question the two, wanted to know more as to who was so special as to risk their own lives to save. Those were questions she wanted to know, but that would need to wait as she sensed a few powerful energies approaching fast. The other two felt it too and prepared for a fight. They could feel the sheer power coming from whoever was approaching, and it was big. While Yoruichi and Kisuke prepared to either fight or flee should the situation call for it, Halibel visibly relaxed as she recognized a few of the approaching energies. It didn't take long as two figures appeared in a burst of sonido in front of her.

The first was Ulquiorra in her new form and wearing the tattered remains of Ichigo's black clothes. it didn't really cover much aside from the important bits, but it was still something she cherished based on who it belongs to. She stood in front of Halibel as she gave the blond a small smile that Halibel returned under her mask.

The second was of course Ichigo, and boy was it a clear shock for both Kisuke and especially Yoruichi who was now blushing heavily. An absolute Adonis of a male hollow showed up near Halibel wearing nothing to hide his body from the elements. Red fur cuffs on his ankles and wrists, dark red and black markings on slightly pale skin, but what really sealed the deal that told the two exactly who this was, was the long orange hair he had. Since he had no mask on, it was also easy to tell it was in fact Ichigo.

"Glad to see you're alright Halibel."
Ichigo spoke in a normal tone as he smiled towards her.

Halibel visibly blushed as she turned away from him.
"I'm not fragile, Ichigo, but thanks for the concern."

The name confirmed it even moreso than the looks for the two former soul reapers. They were about to speak up until a few more individuals appeared near and away from them. The group that appeared near them were also in a similar state of undress as the three girls stood near Halibel, concern in their voices as they spoke in unison.

"MASTER HALIBEL, ARE YOU ALRIGHT? WE SAW YOU RELEASE YOUR ENERGY EARLIER AND WERE WORRIED?"

Halibel sighed as she regained her composure and looked to the three.
"I'm fine you three, just dealt with some small fry before these two showed up."

She pointed her hollowed blade towards the two as they continued to watch the scene unfold in front of them. Everyone turned their attention towards them and were equally interested and confused as to just who these two were. They would've continued had it not been for the second group of hollows becoming irritated at being left out of this. With a slight cough of sorts to get everyone's attention, they all turned to see a man with short blue hair, a jagged pair of teeth on the right side of his jaw, with a sword placed on his shoulder standing there with a white outfit on. It looked much like the soul reaper outfit, but he opted for an open coat of sorts instead of an actual shirt.

He was flanked by that group of hollows that followed Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez not too long ago. They looked the same as before, just regular adjucha, so who was this man with them?

"I recognize that hair and that cleaver anywhere,"
The man started as he looked to Ichigo with a wide grin, not even caring that said person was naked right now.
"I've been looking for ya, Ichigo Kurosaki."

Ichigo's eyes widened slightly as he took in the mans appearance and power for a moment before it suddenly hit him.
"Grimmjow?"

The man's grin grew even wider as he walked over towards the group, ignoring everyone else.
"Been waiting for this rematch for a while, Kurosaki."
He drew his sword from his sheath and was getting ready to attack.
"Now then, let's do this, Ichigo Kurosa-"

"Where did you get those clothes from?"
Ichigo abruptly interrupted him.

"What?"
Grimmjow started, mildly annoyed for the battle not starting as he wished for it to.

"I said, 'where did you get those clothes from'."
Ichigo answered as he pointed towards him.
"Me and the girls could use something like that to wear, if you don't mind."

Grimmjow huffed, sheathing his sword and turning to walk away, hands in his pocket.
"Fine, but afterwards you and I are gonna settle our battle Kurosaki. GOT IT!?"

Ichigo raised a brow.
"Just Ichigo."
He noticed Grimmjow's arched brow.
"Just call me Ichigo. No need to be all formal or anything."

Grimmjow simply made a 'tch' sound as he turned and walked off, his followers right behind him.
"Just hurry the hell up. I don't wanna see your junk and get distracted when we fight."

Ichigo nodded as he and the girls made to follow him only to be stopped by the practically forgotten two off to the side.

"Ichigo."
Kisuke spoke up, a bit of worry in his voice. Everyone turned towards the man and saw how serious he looked as he approached them.
"I'm gonna need you to come with me. It's very important."

"Well can it wait until we get some clothes and after my fight with Grimmjow?"
Ichigo started as he seemed very confused on who this man was or how he even knew his name.
"I owe Grimmjow over there a rematch and I actually want to see just how much stronger the both of us have become."
Ichigo watched as the man's eye twitched ever so slightly, signifying that he did not like the sound of this.

"Who are you two anyway?"
Apache asked as she was pretty pissed that this random guy could show up and just take their Ichigo.

Kisuke gave a bit of a sigh as he put back on his jovial look to throw them off. While it worked on some, a few weren't sold on the idea.
"Well little lady, I'm just a concerned shop keeper who's just wanting to bring Ichigo back to his home and help him control his rampant powers."

"Rampant?"
Ulquiorra started with narrowed eyes. She didn't know who this man was, but right now many red flags were going off in her head.
"What do you mean by that?"

Sensing the tension in the air, Ichigo decided to interject himself into it.
"I don't know who you are, but how about this."
He turned to walk towards Grimmjow again, followed by the girls, Ulquiorra holding onto his arm.
"After we get dressed and I fight Grimmjow, then I'll talk with you. Deal?"

Not seeing any sort of way to dissuade them, and at least they would be dressed, Kisuke sighed in defeat.
"Alright then Ichigo. Guess the two of us can just watch for now."

With that, the rather large group walked off together. For clothes and for battle.

Alright, next chapter will have both Ichigo vs. Grimmjow round 2, but will also explain how Grimmjow is an arrancar like the others.

Till next time.

Bye-bye.
