On the empty streets of Asakusa. A lone ghost girl is running down the street as she was coming by a couple of Hollows. The ghost girl trip causing her to fall onto the ground. She turn around to see the Hollows closing in on her causing her to close her eyes and scream, waiting to be eaten. But nothing happens as she slowly opens her eyes to see an orange hair man holding a large khyber knife in his hand as he blocks the Hollow's mouth with it. Ichigo turn his head toward her as he gives out a warm smile on his face. "Hey, kid. You're alright?" Ichigo asked, causing the little ghost girl to nod. "That's good to know. Now get out of here while I take care of these bad monsters for you." The ghost girl nodded again as she got up onto her feet and ran, causing Ichigo to turn his attention back to the Hollow.
Ichigo pushes his blade back, causing the Hollow to fall onto its back. He heard a roar causing him to turn his head to see a Hollow charging at him. Ichigo dodges its attacks and slices the Hollow at its head with Zangetsu, killing it. He senses something coming at him as he turn his head to see a Hollow about to hit him with its fist. But Ichigo blocks its attack and slice the Hollow across the head, causing it to fall on the ground, creating a field of smoke around him. As the smoke covers his vision, a Hollow appears behind him and about to bit him. But Ichigo turn around and stabs it in the head with Zangetsu. Ichigo pulls out his sword as it falls to the ground causing its body to dissipate.
"Well, that takes care of that," Ichigo said as he turn around to see the ghost girl hiding around the corner. He let out a sigh as Ichigo walk up to her, placing his hand onto her head. "Listen, kid. I'm going to send you off to a nice place that the scary monsters won't get you. Ok?" The girl nodded as Ichigo performs a Konso on her, sending her into the Soul Society as a Hell Butterfly flew away. Seeing that his work is done, Ichigo places Zangetsu on his back and return to Hanzo Academy. When he got back, Ichigo saw his body standing at the front gate waiting for his return as drop right in front of him. "I need my body back if you don't mind."
"Alright, Ichigo-dono!" Ichigo went inside his body as he feels the Chappy Mod Soul disappearing. He then went back to his classroom and sat at his desk, waiting for class to start.
"Ichigo-kun," Asuka called, causing Ichigo to turn his head to see her walking toward him.
"Hey, Asuka. What's up?"
"I'm good. Thanks for asking. So I heard that you help Hibari-chan yesterday when she lost her Scroll."
"You know her?" Asuka nodded as she let out a smile on her face.
"She and I, along with a few of our friends, hang out together after school." This cause Ichigo to let out a warm smile on his face.
"It's nice to know that Hibari have people that care for her."
"Thank you, Ichigo-kun," Asuka said as the bell starts to ring. The students sat at their assigned seats as Kiriya walks into the room. The class begins as Ichigo starting to take notes while paying close attention to Kiriya's lecture. He may be a substitute Shinigami, but he is still human after all. So he have to balance his school life while maintaining his duty as a Shinigami; otherwise, his grades will slip.
'I wonder how the others are doing back in Karakura Town.' Ichigo thought.
"You should have more faith in your friends, Ichigo," Zangetsu said.
'I know, but sometimes I worry about them. What would happen if another Arrancar appears and attack Karakura Town when I'm not around.' Ichigo said, worrying about the outcome.
"Your friends are not that weak, Ichigo. They are also training for the upcoming war against Aizen. Have faith in your friends, and return, they have faith in you." Zangetsu said, causing Ichigo to smile.
'Thanks, Zangetsu.' Ichigo said.
"Hey, Ichigo-kun," Asuka called, causing Ichigo to turn his head to see Asuka sheepishly holding her paper. Taking a hint, Ichigo got up from his desk and lean over her shoulder. He looks at her sheet, causing Asuka to blush a little at how close his face is to her.
"I see the problem. You put a minus sign instead of a plus sign." Ichigo said, causing Asuka to facepalmed herself while smile in embarrassment.
"I see..."
"You don't need to be embarrassed. We all make mistakes sometimes."
"I guess you're right." Asuka smile knowing that Ichigo won't criticize her for some small mistake. "So Ichigo-kun. If I may ask, where'd you learn to fight like that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hibari-chan told me that you defeated a small group of delinquents despite being out-numbered and weaponless. I was wondering where did you learn how to fight like that."
This cause Ichigo to let out a sigh as he facepalmed himself. "I got into a lot of fights due to my natural hair color. They always assumed that I'm a delinquent just like them."
"That must be rough." Asuka smile in complete sympathy due to a single mistake. But Ichigo just waves it off as he has gotten used to it.
"It's nothing new to me. Besides, I got a friend named Chad to help me out when things get rough." This cause her to let out a smile as it's nice to know that Ichigo have someone looking out for him.
"It's nice to Chad looking out for you."
"He's one of the toughest people I know." Ichigo smiled as he remembers when he and Chad have each other no matter how dangerous it is. "I can always count on him to watch my back."
"I would like to meet him someday."
"Maybe you will," Ichigo said.
-later-
The school have ended, and Ichigo already left as Asuka, and her friends are relaxing in the lobby, drinking a nice cold of ice tea and eating after a tough training with their teacher. "I had a runaway win, didn't I?" Katsuragi asked cockily.
"You wouldn't beat me with a sword," Ikaruga said.
"That just sour grape," Katsuragi said.
"I-it's not!" Ikaruga shouted, causing Katsuragi to laugh. The bell ring signaling them that it is time for lunch.
"Well, what should we do for lunch today?" Katsuragi asked, stretching her arms.
"I'm getting tired of eating out," Ikaruga said.
"Your attention!" Asuka called, causing her friends to look at her with a box on her lap. "I brought these back from my trip!" She opens the box, revealing large and long futomaki rolls.
"Wow! Futomaki rolls!" Hibari shouted.
"They look so good!" Katsugari shouted with a smile.
"That settles what we're having for lunch today, huh?" Ikaruga said as she grabs one of the futomaki rolls and eats it in a...unique way. "Asuka-san, where'd you get these?"
"You see, I spent the night working at home a few days ago," Asuka said, holding a futomaki roll in her hand.
"Oh right, your family runs a sushi restaurant. Ikaruga said.
"Yes," Asuka said, taking a bit of her futomaki roll. Unknown to her, Katsuragi is sneaking up behind her.
"All right!" Katsuragi shouted as she grabs Asuka's boobs from behind. "I'll rub these a lot as thanks for the food!"
A smoke bomb appears in the room and exploded, causing the girls to cough as Kririya appears in the room. "Oh, futomaki rolls, huh?" Kiriya said.
"Yes, sir," Asuka said while coughing as she presents the futomaki rolls to him. "You want some too, Kiriya-sensei?"
"As much as I want to. I'm afraid I'm can't. I have a mission for you all to complete outside of school premises in the afternoon." Kiriya said, getting the girls' attention.
"Outside the school premises?" Asuka said in confusion.
"Yay! Finally, a real mission!" Katsuragi shouted in excitement as she got onto her feet. "All we've done lately is flying, jumping, and meditating. Just a boring training session in a stuffy basement. So, teach, what's the mission!?"
"Wiping out ruffians in the shopping district," Kiriya answered, causing Katsuragi's arms to drop in disappointment. "Delinquent students made it their hideout, and the authorities apparently can't handle them."
"Wiping out delinquents..." Asuka said as she and Katsuragi look at each other.
"I'm afraid of troublemakers," Hibari said, looking nervous.
"Don't worry. I'll protect you." Yagyu said, causing Hibari to smile.
"Thanks," Hibari said.
-later-
"Aww... I was sure we'd be doing top-secret escorting of VIPs, or infiltrating an embassy for classified was what I have in mind. Even finding out who the invisible enemies that attacked us would be more interesting." Katsuragi complains as she and the others arrive at the populated street.
"Missions paramount to national security are reserved for those who've already graduated from school and become real shinobi, and finding out who these invisible enemies are more difficult than others," Ikaruga stated, looking at Katsuragi.
"But fighting delinquents is just lame!" Katsuragi cried.
"It's not easy as it sounds, through. We shinobi need to get rid of them in secret. And they're just normal people too!" Asuka stated.
"That's why it's a training mission," Ikaruga said.
"Well, fine," Katsuragi said, giving up.
"So, where are they hiding?" Hibari asked, causing them to stop.
"Walking around at random is a waste of time. Let's break up and look for targets." Ikaruga said as they split up, looking for the delinquents. Ikaruga went to the shopping district while Katsuragi is at the amusement parks. Asuka is at the temple, looking around for the delinquents but lets out a sigh as she couldn't find any.
"There probably won't be any at the temple," Asuka said, having trouble finding them.
"Huh?" A familiar voice called, causing Asuka to turn her head to see a familiar tanned girl.
"It's you! The one that we meet at the ferry!" Asuka said as she was surprised to see her causing the tanned girl to smile.
"And we meet again." She said.
-later-
We see Asuka and the tanned girl left the temple as they have a conversation. "I'm on a school trip." She said.
"Oh, that's why you were on the boat."
"I lost track of my friends while wandering on my own. I don't know my way around, and my school doesn't allow cell phones."
"Do you know roughly where you lost them?"
"Let's see... Something or another road." Asuka and the tanned girl are walking down the
"A lot of streets in Asakusa have 'road' in their name, so that part isn't much of a clue. Do you know where they were headed?"
"By the way, is it okay for you to help me? "
"It's no problem."
"You looked busy when we first met back there."
"Nah, we're doing a mini school trip."
"By the way, you said you go to a nearby school."
"Y-yeah! Today we're visiting historical landmarks in the area. But I finished ahead of time and had nothing to do."
"I see." She said with a sly grin on her face. "I guess it's fine then."
-with Hibari and yagyu-
"Hey, Yagyu-chan..." Hibari called as they are walking down the street. "Why are you coming with me?"
"I'd worry if you were on your own," Yagyu replied, causing Hibari to pout.
"I can handle the delinquents by myself, you know?"
"They might jump at you out of nowhere." This cause Hibari to jump in fright as she never thought about that.
"If that happens, I'll beat them har-"
"Hold it!" A voice cut her as they saw a fat woman with long brown puffy hair and big lip, wearing a blue school jacket, a white shirt with a red tie, a long blue skirt that went down to her knees and carried a bokken katana in her hand. This cause Hibari to hid behind Yagyu as more delinquents show up carrying weapons in their hands.
"Those uniforms... The chicks are from Hanzo Academy!" The guy with a blond pompadour stated, causing the fat girl delinquent to pat her bokken in her other hand.
"That frickin' huge school, eh?"
"What about it?" Yagyu asked, getting ready for a fight.
"You gotta lend me some money, 'kay?" She said, causing Yagyu to smile.
"I see. So it's you." Yagyu said, turning her head to Hibari." Hibari, get the others here."
"O-okay," Hibari said, pulling out a wooden tube from her cleavage and fire it in the air.
Shinobi smoke signal.
It's a special signal flare that can only be detected by trained shinobi. It's said to be visible for nearly a kilometer.
-With Asuka and the tanned girl-
"We looked almost everywhere..." Asuka said.
"Sorry for the trouble."
"I don't mind. One should always help people in need." Asuka smile only to see the signal in the air. 'It's the signal!'
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing. Oh yeah, we haven't checked out the benten yet. Let's check it out!" Asuka said, causing the tanned girl to follow. But stop when she turn around and snap her finger as a young woman sitting on top of the temple stood up. She has blonde hair curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top, green eyes, and wears the same uniform as the tanned girl. This is Haruka.
-with Yagyu and Hibari-
"Ya lookin' for a fight?" A delinquent with a buzz cut asks, causing Yagyu to smirk.
"Y-you shouldn't provoke them, Yagyu-chan," Hibari said, feeling scared.
"They're here," Yagyu said, causing Hibari to turn her head to see Ikaruga and Katsuragi walking toward them.
"More Hanzo Academy students?" The buzz cut delinquent asked when Yagyu grab Hibari and jump on top of the roof.
"All right, you guys ready?" Katsuragi asked, cracking her knuckles.
"Wh-who's these chicks?" The blond pompadour asked in fear.
"We were asked to clean up the shopping district," Ikaruga said as she looks at the delinquents with a glare. "Yes, I suppose you could call us a disciplinary committee of the sort." She turn her head toward Yagyu as she notices one of their teammates is missing. "Yagyu-san, do you know where's Asuka-san?"
Yagyu shook her head, causing them to be disappointed. "What's she doing?" Katsuragi wondered.
"She's always like this," Ikaruga said, letting out a sigh.
"Hibari, take care of passersby," Yagyu said, looking at Hibari.
"Okay, leave them to me," Hibari said with a smile as she jumps off the roof.
"They're bein' all high an' mighty. Get 'em!" The fat girl said as they charge at them with their weapons.
"We have no choice. Let's go!" Ikaruga shouted, getting right for a fight.
"All right!" Katsuragi shouted, ready to get their ass.
-with Asuka and the tanned girl-
Asuka and the tanned girl are walking down the street by the river as she have a worried look on her face. 'Wil the others be all right?' Asuka thought, worrying about her friends.
"We couldn't find my friend anywhere we looked. They must've left without me." She said, silently pulling out a danto.
"They might have, yeah," Asuka said as the tanned girl lip her lips and is about to stab her in the back.
"Yo, Asuka!" A familiar voice called, causing the tanned girl to stop when they saw an orange-haired teen walking toward them.
"Ichigo-kun!" Asuka shouted as she runs up to him.
"How are you doing, Asuka?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm doing great. Thanks for asking." Asuka said with a smile as Ichigo turn his head toward the tanned girl, who quickly and quietly put her danto away.
"Who's your friend?" Ichigo asked, causing Asuka to smile sheepishly as she doesn't know her name.
"My name is Homura. It's nice to meet you." The tanned girl, now known as Homura, greeted.
"Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo introduces himself as Homura lets out a small laugh. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing... It's just... Who names their boy strawberry." Homura said with a small laugh causing a tick mark to appear on Ichigo.
"My name isn't strawberry! It's He Who Protect!" Ichigo shouted, causing her to laugh, seeing Ichigo's comical face.
"That's not nice to make fun of someone's name, Homura-chan." Asuka scold.
"You're right," Homura said as she stops laughing. "Sorry about that."
"By the way, Ichigo-kun," Asuka said, turning her head toward Ichigo. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I'm trying to get familiar with Asakusa since it isn't like Karakura," Ichigo said.
"Oh, that's right. You used to live in Karakura before coming here." Asuka said, remembering Ichigo's hometown.
"That's right. While I'm trying to familiarize myself with Asakusa. I ran into some...interesting people." Ichigo said as they notice something wrong.
"What's wrong?" Homura asked.
"Well..."
-Flashback. Play Bleach ost Comical World-
Ichigo walking down the street, enjoying the scenery while looking for anything strange. Seeing how there are so many Hollows and Souls cause Ichigo to be suspicious about what is going on in Asakusa. This isn't like Karakura Town that death happens unexpectedly. This happens on a daily passive, something is going on around here, and he intends to find out why.
However, walking by are two individuals that caught his attention. One is a young woman with short blonde hair, and heterochromatic eyes, with her left eye being green, in color and her right eye is blue. The other is a young girl with long brown hair that had a twin ponytail that tied by a black ribbon that looks like tied shoelaces with the casual "bunny ears" and had a red hairband on her head. She also have heterochromatic, blue for the left eye and green for the right eye. They also wear a gray sailor uniform blazer, gray skirt, and black pantyhose. Underneath it all is a white dress layered over by a low neckline black shirt with long sleeves.
The young blond hair woman spotted Ichigo as she immediately went up to him. "Ooooooh, you look perfect! Can I call you master?" She asked, causing Ichigo to be taken back by this.
"Master? What the hell are you talking about?!" Ichigo shouted.
"Oooh, you know what I mean. Your fierce scowl, your muscular body, even your spiky orange hair is perfect to call you master." She replied, causing Ichigo to take a step back.
"Ryona, you bitch! Get on your hands and knees now!" The brown-haired girl shouted as the blond-haired girl, Ryona, did exactly as she said immediately.
"Yes, Ryobi-chan!" Ryona shouted with her ass sticking up, waiting in anticipation for her abuse.
Ryobi stood next to the bend over Ryona and started stomping on her ass. She turn her head toward Ichigo while still stomping on her ass. "I apologize for this bitch's actions! I'll be sure to teach this dumb bitch a lesson!" Ryobi yells out.
Ichigo is getting ready to intervene as he had enough of this nonsense. "Yes, yes! More Ryobi-chan! Punish me!" She shouted in pleasure, causing Ichigo to be shocked as one conclusion come to mind.
'This girl is a massive masochist!' Ichigo shouted in his head.
"I wouldn't mind calling me, master." A familiar voice said, causing Ichigo's cheeks to turn red.
'Shut up, you damn Perv!' Ichigo shouted, causing his inner Hollow to laugh.
"Are you alright?" Ryobi asked, seeing how red Ichigo's face is.
"I'm fine," Ichigo said, getting his inner Hollow's pervert comment out of his mind. 'Why is it that everywhere I go. I always ended up in some fight or met some strange people that I come across.' Ichigo looks at them with his usual scowl. "So I'm guessing that your friend is into these sort of thing."
This cause her to stop stomping Ryona as Ryobi just stare at him, confused. "Friend? What are you talking about? She's my twin sister." Ryobi said, causing Ichigo to widen his eyes.
"You two are sisters?!" Ichigo shouted, causing Ryona to jump on her feet.
"That right! I am Ryobi-chan's older sister, as you can already tell. Here, take a look. See!" Ryona said, pushing her breast up to Ichigo's face causing him to blush intensely.
"R-Ryona! Don't do that in public!" Ryobi said as she grabs her collar and pulls away from Ichigo." Again, sorry about that! I promise to teach this bitch her lesson!"
"Yes, Ryobi-chan! Yell at me some more!" Ryona shouted from afar as they walk away, leaving Ichigo all by himself.
'What the hell just happen?!' Ichigo shouted in his head.
-Flashback end. End Bleach ost Comical World-
"And that what happens," Ichigo explains, causing Asuka and Homura to sweatdrop at this development.
"I see..." Asuka said with a strained smile.
"You sure met some interesting people..." Homura said, looking at him with some sympathy. She thought her friends are weird. But those two take the cake.
"You have no idea." Ichigo sigh as he facepalmed himself. "So, what were you two doing?"
"Oh, that's right. Homura-chan and I were looking for her friends. But it seems like they already left her." Asuka answered.
"Well, that sucks," Ichigo said.
"I'm sure they have their reason," Homura said.
"Whatever, you say. Hey, do you want an extra hand?" Ichigo asked.
"That would be great! Thanks, Ichigo-kun!" Asuka said with a smile.
"No problem," Ichigo said with a smile until his Shinigami badge started to beep. 'A Hollow!'
"What's wrong, Ichigo?" Homura asked as they notice his expression. Ichigo hears a roar close by as he saw a Hollow heading toward them.
"Watch out!" Ichigo shouted, dragging Asuka and Homura to the ground as they let out a scream when the Hollow attacks them.
-with Team Hanzo-
"Sorry!" Hibari shouted, wearing a construction outfit while waving a traffic wand. "No entry beyond this point!" She turn her head back toward her team with a worried expression on her face. "I wonder if they've already done."
Meanwhile, Ikaruga and Katsuragi are standing triumphantly as they stare at the beaten delinquents. "Can't even call that a good warmup," Katsuragi said, looking disappointed.
"I wonder what happens to Asuka-san," Ikaruga said a feeling worry about their friend.
"Well, she must be fooling around-" Katsuragi stops when she saw four delinquents getting back up as a dark aura surrounding them. They jump away as they stare at them in shock and confusion. "They can get back up after we beat them to a pulp?" Katsuragi asked in shock when Hibari sense a dark presence.
"This aura..."
The delinquents pull out real-life blades causing the girls to be cautious. "These guys aren't ordinary delinquents," Katsuragi said, getting ready for another fight.
"Everyone!" Hibari said as she is running toward them.
"Hibari!" Yagyu shouted in concern when she saw her.
"Be careful! These people don't have a soul!" Hibari exclaimed, causing them to be shocked while the blond hair woman watches from above.
"Physically slow but quick-witted," Haruka said, licking her lip. "She reminds me of a timid small animal. How adorable." She snaps her fingers as the dark aura expanded.
"It couldn't be!" Katsuragi shouted in shock.
"A Shinobi Kekkai space!" Ikaruga exclaimed in shock.
Shinobi Kekkai space, a special area, is used by shinobi when fighting each other, which can transcend space and time.
Yagyu jumps down from the roof, joining her teammates as she stares at the delinquents with narrow eyes. "Which means that they're also..."
"...shinobi," Katsuragi said, finishing Yagyu's sentence.
"In that case, we'll have to go after them like we mean business!" Ikaruga shouted, causing Katsuragi to grin.
"All right, let's transform!" Katsuragi shouted.
"It's outside our mission, but we have no choice," Ikaruga stated as they pull out their scrolls.
"Shinobi Tenshin!"
Shinobi Tenshin, a fundamental shinobi secret technique that instantly changes its user to a combat style by releasing dormant energy for the six chakras all at once. By transforming themselves, shinobi can manifest their power at their maximum levels.
Ikaruga's outfits change as her shinobi outfit consists of a white gold-trimmed jacket with six buttons and a few golden tassels strewed across. She has a Hanzo armband pinned to her upper left arm to signify her status as the class representative. She has a short gold-trimmed white skirt and boots similar to her jacket, accentuated by black tights.
Yagyu also changes her outfits as she now wears a pale brown jacket over a white school shirt, red plaid skirt, brown loafers, and calf-high black stockings. Around her shoulders is a black mantle with a triangle design and trim and two extended tails.
Hibari's outfits also change as well as her outfit is reminiscent of a student in gym class. She has a light pink track jacket with the Hanzō emblem on the left chest area, dark blue biker shorts, black and white socks, and red and white sneakers.
Katsuragi's outfit didn't change as her outfit is simplistic; composed of her usual white Hanzō school uniform, unbuttoned, revealing most of her torso underneath; particularly her breasts. Along with a blue plaid skirt, she wears long socks and her signature black and gold metal boots adorned with small blue tassels on either side, serving as her combat weapon of choice.
They ready their weapons as they are going to battle each other.
-with Ichigo and the girls. Play Bleach ost Storm Center-
Asuka and Homura are coughing as they are caught in a surprise attack by a frog-like Hollow. Unfortunately, Asuka and Homura couldn't see it as Ichigo is the only one who can because of his Reiryoku.
'What the hell was that!' Homura shouted in her head as she never expected to be attacked.
'It's the invisible enemies again.' Asuka thought as she experienced it before. They felt someone grab their hand as they got up to their feet and ran. They saw Ichigo holding their hands as he is trying to get them away from here. "W-wait, Ichigo-kun!"
"Where are you taking us?!" Homura asked as she is not sure what is going on.
"Somewhere safe. It's too dangerous to be around here." Ichigo said as they are running away from the Hollow, who notice them.
The Hollow was about to chase after them until it heard a scream. It looks up in the air to see Ichigo with Zangetsu in his hands as he about cut down the Hollow. But the Hollow jump in the nick of time, avoiding Ichigo's attack as it looks at the orange hair shinigami in disdain. Ichigo points the tip of Zangetsu toward the Hollow with narrow eyes. "You're not getting them when I'm around!" Ichigo shouted in determination. He was fortunate that he was quick enough to put a mod soul into his body when the Hollow attack so he can get Asuka and Homura out of here. He didn't want to drag them into his Shinigami's duty.
The Hollow let out a roar as it charges at Ichigo. It opens its mouth as it attempted to bite Ichigo, but he dodges it as the Hollow destroys the ground beneath them. The Hollow turn around to see Ichigo charging at it as he swings his Zanpakuto at him. But the Hollow dodges it and fires a green liquid at him, causing Ichigo to jump away from it. He fires a Getsuga Tenshou at the Hollow, but it jumps away from Ichigo's attack. He looks around to see the Hollow jumping around him like a frog, trying to confuse him as it was waiting for the right moment to strike. The Hollow attacks him from behind as Ichigo dodges it by doing a backflip and about to cut it with Zangetsu.
But the Hollow leap forward, avoiding Ichigo's attack as he lands on his feet. The hollow turn around and let out a roar as it charges at Ichigo. It tried to use its mouth to bite him again, but Ichigo blocks it with his Zanpakuto as it pushes him back a bit. The Hollow is about to attack him with its arm, but Ichigo jumps away and slices it off, causing the Hollow to roar in pain. Ichigo jumps in the air and cleaves the Hollow in half as it disintegrates into reishi. Seeing that the Hollow have been killed, Ichigo made his way to the other as he wants to return to his body. He found them in the alleyway as they are panting after a long run from the Hollow.
-End Bleach ost Storm Center-
Ichigo quickly went into his body as he looks at Asuka and Homura in concern as he never wants them to get involved. "Are you guys all right?" Ichigo asked, worrying.
"We're fine. Thanks for asking." Homura said, leaning against the wall.
"How do you know something like that might happen, Ichigo-kun." Asuka wondered, looking at Ichigo.
"Call it instinct. Stuff like this happens all the time in Karakura." Ichigo said. Though he didn't exactly lie, as most of it is true.
"But still... Thanks for saving us, Ichigo-kun." Asuka said with a smile.
"It's nothing, Asuka," Ichigo said, waving it off.
"Don't be so modest. If it wouldn't work for you. We could have been injured or worse," Homura said as they are quite grateful toward him despite being a civilian.
If only they knew.
"In any case. I have to go to see if my friends are alright." Asuka said, worrying that her friends might be attacked.
"I should go too. I got a lot of school assignments that I need to take care of." Ichigo said as Asuka and him about to leave.
'I dared to reveal my bloodlust to her, but that guy just shows up out of nowhere.' Homura thought when they saw them stop and look at her.
"I sure hope your friends come back for you!" Asuka said.
"Tried to stay safe, ok?" Ichigo said as they went their separate way.
"No need to worry," Homura said as once they are gone. Her expression change into something serious. 'Still, what the hell was that? How come I didn't sense it when it attacks us. Was it a nukenin's attack? I better report this to Suzune-sensei.'
-with Team Hanzo-
Hibari dodges from the blond pompadour's attack as she flips him on its back. But she was caught off guard when the fat lady appears in front of her and attack causing Hibari to dodge, only for her to bounce back by the Shinobi kekkai. She is about to attack again when Yagyu appears in front of Hibari as she blocks her attack with her umbrella. Yagyu pushes her back as she pulls out her sword, cutting her down to reveal a wooden doll. Katsuragi kicks the buzz cut delinquent in the face also reveals a wooden doll as Ikaruga cuts down the last one with her sword.
"Mannequins?" Ikaruga said, confuse as she narrows her eyes. "What is this?"
The Shinobi kekkai disappear as they look around in confusion.
-later-
"You mean that mannequins, posing as punks, attacked us?" Katsuragi asked.
"I'm not sure," Ikaruga replied as they are walking down the street. "There's only one thing clear about this."
"It was us that they were after," Yagyu answered.
"I sensed the same presence from all four mannequins. Almost as though the same person was moving each of them." Hibari said.
"Could they be related to the invisible enemies that attacked us?" Katsuragi asked.
"I'm not sure. The way they operate is quite different from each other." Ikaruga said, trying to connect the dots.
Hibari steps on the can and rolls forward, causing her to fall as Hibari is about to land on her back when someone grabs her. "Are you okay?" Haruka asked.
"Y-yes," Hibari replied.
"You're a cutie, all right." She leans toward her face causing her to be confused.
"Huh?
"Well, see you!" Haruka said, letting out of Hibari as she let out a small giggle. She ran away from the group as Hibari have a smile on her face.
"Wow, what a pretty girl," Hibari said.
"What's wrong?" Yagyu asked, looking at her.
"Oh, nothing," Hibari said.
"Guys!" They all hear a familiar voice as they turn their head to see Asuka running toward them. "Are you all right?"
"We should be asking you that," Katsuragi said with her arms on her hips.
"Asuka-san, where on earth have you been?" Ikaruga asked.
"Well, it's kind of a long story. Oh, what about the delinquents?" Asuka asked, remembering their mission.
"How are you so casual after showing up late?" Ikaruga scolds with her arms crossed underneath her breast.
"They weren't just delinquents," Katsuragi said, causing Asuka to be confused.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Asuka asked.
"Before we get into that, tell us what happens?" Ikaruga asked as Asuka know she can't get away with this one.
"I was attacked by the invisible enemies," Asuka replied, causing them to be shocked.
"You were attacked?!" They shouted, causing Asuka to nod.
"I was helping out a girl when Ichigo-kun appears," Asuka said.
"Ichigo-kun? You mean that orange hair boy that you been with when you got back?" Ikaruga asked causing Asuka to nod.
"Yes, if it wasn't for Ichigo-kun. We could have die from the invisible enemies' attack." Asuka said.
"We?" Hibari asked, titled her head.
"Oh right, the girl I was helping out with is named Homura. We were trying to find her friends when she was on a school trip," Asuka replied.
"But doesn't it seem strange that this guy can sense the attack?" Katsuragi said suspiciously.
"He said that it happens a lot back in Karakura," Asuka said.
"I see... This is getting more complicated." Ikaruga said as she is trying to figure it out.

"It looks like all of them could be my handsome little puppets," Haruka said as she is now wears what resembles pink and white lingerie with the bottom of her breasts left uncovered and a diamond-shaped opening revealing her cleavage. White garments are on her legs and arms, and she wears a thin white bottom with simple pink high heels. On her back is a large white lab coat lined with many different vials filled with hazardous chemicals.
"So, what was this granddaughter of the legendary shinobi, like?" A young woman asked. She has a fair skin girl with long blonde hair with a small green clip in it. Her outfit is somewhat reminiscent of a maid. She wears a teal green dress with a white slip underneath. The top of her dress only comes up to the bustline and a single white-collar wraps around her neck. She has long white gloves and green diamond-shaped arm sleeves on her arms with a white frill underneath. Around her waist is a small white apron with a shuriken pattern on them and a belt that holds a brown bag and a strip of replacement darts for her crossbow weapon. She wears a teal beret with a large white bow on its back and an even larger bow on the back of her dress. Under her dress is a pair of white stockings covered by long brown boots with black bows at the top, and her signature giant broadsword rests on her back. This is Yomi.
"I was expecting her to be quite formidable until I was attacked," Homura replied, gaining other attention.
"You were attacked?" A short green hair girl asked. She has a pale skin girl with medium-length green hair and amber eyes in a furtive or feral glance and an emotionless expression. She tends to stick her tongue out when on the prowl. She wears a dingy torn-up yellow and black striped shirt with a snake patterned and black frill trim that is very short, stopping at the bust line and showing many cleavages. Because of this, it can only properly cover one of her shoulders. She has thin necklaces around her neck and black leather constricts going down her arms and legs, which carry knives. Her blue jeans have gashes and rips. The zipper is down, and the belt unbuckled, with leather constricts below the knees and a red snake pattern on the left thigh. She has snake tattoos on her left hip, shoulder, and breast. This is Hikage.
"Yes, I would have been dead if it wasn't for that guy," Homura said as she remembers how Ichigo save her.
"Ah, that spiky orange hair boy?" Haruka asked, causing Homura to nod.
"The strange thing is that he manages to sense the attack coming when we couldn't sense it," Homura said, shocking the girls.
"That is strange. Is there any more of it?" Yomi asked.
"Ichigo said that it happens a lot back in his hometown in Karakura," Homura replied.
"I see..." Haruka said with an interesting look.
"But we have nothing to fear from Hanzo Academy. Just the invisible enemies, right?" Hikage asked.
"Hmph, we leave them be for now." A short girl said. She has a short black-haired girl in gothic lolita fashion. She wears a black, white, and dark teal frilled dress and bonnet with cat ears, cattail, and what looks like black angel wings on her back. She wears white stockings and black dress shoes with black ring anklets with cat heads. She carries a European-style umbrella that matches her dress in design, and like Yagyu, she wears a black eye patch with red tomoe over her left eye. This is Mirai. "They'll soon find out, whether they like it or not, which of us are the real shinobi."
"And if those invisible enemies show up. We'll be ready." Homura said with a grin.
