The moment that Toshinori got off of the phone with his detective friend, Naomasa, he decided that he couldn't simply stand around and wait for the man to get there with the swat team. No- there was no telling what terrible things could befall Ichigo during the time it took for everyone to get organized and move out.

So once his phone was put up, he sauntered out of the alley and over to the club. Slipped the guard a fifty to grease the wheels a little bit and then slipped inside of the building.

Once inside he had to fight himself not to visibly flinch or cringe at the first few things that he saw right off the bat. But it was hard not too. Very hard. He didn't think he'd ever seen such disgusting filth before in his life!

And that was saying a lot considering some of the things that he'd seen thus far in his hero career.

Already he'd seen several incredibly vivid acts of public debauchery, one of which was a very public gang bang from the looks of it. Bleh. The next round of stuff that he saw made his skin crawl and his stomach churn with nausea.

An auction of some sort. With both semi nude men and women involved. He literally saw someone throw a huge wad of cash down at some guy's feet and grab one of the women and drag her off somewhere.

The sooner he found Ichigo and got her out of this snake's den, the better off the girl would be. However despite knowing this, he couldn't help but wonder what had brought her to such a horrible place to begin with. She couldn't possibly work there. Could she?

God he hoped not. He couldn't imagine such a nice girl in such a soul killing place.

Making his way deeper into the building, there were several instances where he was approached by a few people looking to make some money off of him. He turned them down of course. Mostly because he wasn't into prostitutes.

The whole indiscriminate sex scene really wasn't something that he had any interest in. He tended to choose who he shared his body with very carefully. But also because he was pretty sure that several of them had STD's and he didn't want to catch anything.

Not long after disengaging from the last one, he finally found Ichigo. She was in a private VIP room close to the back.

Though he wasn't exactly expecting to find her busy in such a manner. He'd expected the worst upon walking into such a horrible place and yet...there she was. Safe and unharmed. Looking as if she were giving a young woman who looked as if she were in her second trimester of pregnancy, an exam.

Pausing in the doorway of the room that she was inhabiting, he couldn't help but watch the girl curiously.

From the looks of things, she had medical knowledge and definitely knew what she was doing. She had latex gloves on her hands, and a look of intense concentration on her face as she asked the mother some questions while checking her breasts and then her stomach.

The woman asked something about what kind of over the counter drugs were safe for her baby if she needed some. And Ichigo responded to her question smoothly and efficiently, almost exactly like a trained medical professional. Telling her the name of some of the most baby safe medicines on the market as well as some natural stuff that the woman could get to use for various things like nausea, heartburn, headaches, sore throats and so on.

It was truly impressive how knowledgeable the girl seemed to be.

Finally she finished her exam and stood back with a smile. "Okay, it looks like you and little Junior are doing great. Remember what I said about work, and try not to stress yourself out too much. The little bit of blood that you noticed before was probably spotting. It happens from time to time during pregnancy and should only worry you if it gets significantly worse. If that happens then you'll have to go to a hospital ASAP or risk losing Junior. Got it?"

The woman nodded her head and broke down sobbing as she thanked her.

Ichigo merely pulled off her gloves and tossed them into the trash and then pulled a small bottle of hand sanitizer out and used it before then moving to help the woman up. Once that was done, the woman quickly gave the girl a crushing hug and then thanked her again before heading towards the door.

Toshinori stepped out of sight and watched as the woman left before moving back to the doorway in time to catch the girl on her cell phone. Slipping into the room, his presence went unnoticed up until he closed the door behind him.

When that happened the girl quickly dropped her cell away from her ear and turned to stare at him for a moment. Recognition warred with suspicion in her expression as she politely told the person that she'd been talking too that she'd call them back and then hung up her phone.

"You're the guy from the grocery store yesterday." Strangely enough, when she finally managed to speak, her tone wasn't demanding or suspicious at all. Merely...curious.

"I am," He confirmed with a slight nod before then moving away from the door a little bit as he asked, "What are you doing here girl? Don't you know the kind of place that this is?"

"It's difficult not to know what this place is. I do have eyes." She said in a bemused tone before then asking, "What are you doing here?"

"I saw a kid entering a lion's den and came to get her out." He growled at her. His earlier irritation and anxiety welling up to trigger his temper some. If she was surprised by the snarkiness of his tone, she didn't show it any. Though she did look just a bit bothered by his admittance of having come to save her.

"Wait, wait, wait- Y-You came in here because of me?"

He didn't bother to verbally respond, instead he canted his head a little bit and studied her with those intense electric blue eyes of his. Her face was easy for him to read because it was a lot like an open book. He could see, confusion, concern- for him? As well as many other things before she made a small irked sound and then walked over to him and grabbed his hand as she said, "I need to get you out of here."

He blinked, his expression turning incredulous as she tugged him towards the door.

"I need you to listen to me and listen well, the second that we step out of this room- you need to follow my lead," He made a noncommittal sound of vague alarm. Worried about what exactly she may be planning. "You need to commit yourself to the act as much as you can. It has to be believable. Do you understand me?"

His jaw worked and he stared at her with wide eyes, unable to speak enough to say yea or nay. She huffed and reached out with her empty hand and used her fingertips to snap his mouth shut with a soft, but audible click before then reaching out and grasping the doorknob and turning it.

The ease in which Ichigo navigated their way through the club made him uneasy. Mainly because he was starting to believe that maybe...the girl was a little bit more aware of the things going on around her than he'd originally thought.

So far several drug pushers had walked up and tried to sell them some stuff. And been sent scampering by Ichigo's strangely fierce looking scowl.

And when a few of the women from before tried to approach them, she sent them packing to by grabbing him by the front of his shirt and pulling him down a little bit so that she could press a lingering kiss to his lips. Which...was weird for him. Especially considering the fact that he was so startled by the move that he didn't even think to quickly push her away.

Luckily though, she seemed to know that he was uncomfortable and moved away from him once she was sure that they were alone again. "Sorry." She muttered as his face turned red with embarrassment and she started to tug him along behind her again.

Totally unaware of his mental lamenting about crazy and touchy-feely frigging girls.
