One little note, only the Quincy will be in the Harem, I've just seen too many IchigoxRukia, Inoue, Yoruichi, etc. I mean we all know of those, but I did this solely because there wasn't too many Ichigo X Quincy girls at all, plus I liked these type of stories.
For Giselle...I can say that she is bi-sexual, meaning she likes Girls and Boys. So she still has her attraction to the other girls and Ichigo.
Disclaimer: I do now own Bleach.
"Well, how did it all go out?" Yhwach ask as he stares sternly at the kneeling Sternritter.
"It went well your majesty. We spent the entire day together and he looked forward to seeing me again." She answered tonelessly.
"Good, did you encounter anything?"
"I encounter Inoue Orihime as well as Yoruichi Shioin, they did not detect me but I believe the Shinigami was skeptical." She replied.
"I see…we should hurry then. Next time move with more progress, unfortunately we may have to cut your time down. But if he refuses to joins us, then you will kill him." He spoke coldly.
Being a Sternritter, killing wasn't against her nature, since she did have a history of slaughtering her own subordinates. But the thought of killing Ichigo, why was it so much different? All he ever really did was piss her off, what is there to like about that.
"Sternritter 'E', do you understand?"
She hasn't even known him for that long, so why does picturing him dead really bother her, if anything it could be used as a simple stress relief. However, the image of his cold life-less body…
"E!" He says raising his voice. The sound was enough to make the black-haired girl tremble in fear.
"F-Forgive me your majesty, yes whatever the mission is I will fulfill it." She said looking down. As much as he wanted to kill her right now, he knew he couldn't screw this up, he knows when the invasion comes, Soul Society will try for him once more.
"You are dismissed." he uttered before the Star knight quickly vanished away.
Sternritter 'E' Quaters
Bambietta bashed into room, not even paying attention to the Soldat who were happy to see her, when in actuality they were terrified and were horrified to know she was still alive. She barges in, but only freaks out at what she sees.
"What the hell are you all doing here?" she asks rude as ever, but then again they are in her room.
"Bambi-chan you're alive!" Giselle yells before running up and forcing her fellow comrade into a painful hug.
"Let go of me!" she replies, the Zombie did as told and released her, although she really did want to hug her to death.
"We thought you were dead." Meninas calls out in a toneless voice.
"We hoped you were dead." Liltotto interrupted, still eating her ice cream.
"Geez thank, I'm happy to you see you all too." the Explosion replied sarcastically.
"So where did you go?" Candice asked while doing her nails.
Bambietta sighed and sat down, she didn't know if she was allowed to speak of Ichigo, but she didn't see why not. Although, it would be embarrassing if the mission suddenly goes south and he does not go with her.
'It's ok, I care about you Bambietta.' he said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm supposed to recruit a special war potential." she answered as if it was nothing. The other four gasped, that was probably the last thing they expected.
"Why would his majesty give an important task to a whore..." The Glutton wondered aloud.
"Is he good?" Meninas asked wondering if he was good in giving her a 'good time'.
"Yea, is he good looking?" the Thunderbolt also wanted to know.
"He is, but he's a prude. He couldn't even handle me touching him, ha, you should seem turn red! It's hilarious!" she said before remembering the flustered strawberry boy. The group were surprised by her laugh, and to make things even more confusing, she was smiling, as if she was happy.
"Oh my,"
"Bammmmbiiiiiii,"
"He must be real good,"
"Even whores find there one person,"
Bambietta stared oddly at her group, she didn't know what they were talking about.
"You're all weird..."
"At least he shouldn't have an ego, like Bazz." Candice said getting curses from everyone else.
"He's like the opposite of Bazz." Bambietta replied. The three who actually had an interest now, thought about Ichigo, a prude good looking guy who's not egotistic, it's rare.
"So...you haven't done him?" Candice said just to be sure, 'E' sighed, this was to be expected.
"No, he avoids it every time I try, starting to think he may not like girls." she answered sacrastically.
"So what did you guys do then' Bambi-chan!" Giselle spoke with stars in her eyes, happy for a story.
"We talked...a lot. Then we ate...and that's it." she said basically summing up the day.
"He sounds sweet," Meninas commented.
"Yea..."
"So when do you leave?" Liltotto wondered aloud.
"I have to go early in the morning, as our 'progress' needs to improve." she answered.
"So the whole point is for him to fall for you, then have us join, then only to be used as a weapon." she asked once again.
"..."
"I shouldn't be surprised over this, I just hope the poor guy realizes this before he comes, I'm sure he will regret it once his 'use' is no longer there." the Glutton said angrily before leaving the room.
"Candice, I need you to help me with my hair." Bambietta said completely disregarding what the Glutton had said.
"Sure," she answered walking over.
Las Noches
"You know what, I'm done, I'm not going to fight you until you get a real damn sword! A blue-haired panther yells.
"What the hell are you talking about?" his Praying Mantis comrade replied.
"I said you spoon-headed bug, you're sword is too stupid to fight against!" the Sexta yelled completely frustrated.
"Why are even getting so pissy? What, you can't handle me?" the Quinto mocked.
"Whatever, I'm going go to fight Nel." he replied scoffing him off.
"Good luck getting your ass handed!"
"Yea, yea, fuck you to!"
Nnoitra smirked but suddenly something hit him, not literally but something was off, he turned around and stared at the vast area of the desert. They weren't supposed to leave Las Noches but no one was really there to stop them, most were sleeping and the ones that were didn't care. The Quinto turned back to the Sexta and raised his voice.
"Oi, Grimmjow wait, you feel that?" he asked.
"Feel what?"
"You're telling me you have a stronger Pesquisa but you don't feel' that?" the Quinto asked astonished on how delusional his partner is.
"Screw you I'm leaving, have fun being by yourself." he said before teleporting away.
'Whatever, I don't need that weakling.' he thought to himself before reading himself to leave, but as he hurdles his enormous blade up in the air he feels something, something he has never felt before. Not taking any chances, he uses Sonido and gets away.
"Oh sure, hide you pathetic beings! Fear me!" he yelled waiting for them to approach. But as he finished his sentence three figures approach him, all having mixed reactions, one not even having a reaction as he is wearing a mask.
"Damn, I told you we should have come earlier, now we won't be able to take them together." a man said.
The man that spoke had a slim body with black hair, he was wearing a white trench coat with black boots, he looked like an ordinary person but his narrowed eyes and the scar on the left side of his mouth.
"It doesn't matter, I don't even need you two."
Nnoitra recognized the second voice as the person who fought Zommari, not that he cared. He just had a grin on his face as he readied himself to fight the three opponents.
"Why am I even here?" the third voice spoke in a robotic tone. He was the one wearing an odd looking mask.
"Both of you be quiet," the 'J' said as he smirked at the Espada. "Greetings Espada, my name is-"
"Quilge Opie Sternritter 'I don't give a shit', now shut up and fight!" the Quinto yelled before leaping into the air. Cang Du and Sternritter 'J' jumped back, clearly not underestimating the power of the Fifth Espada. However, one stayed and looked up at him.
BG9 listed his hand from his cloak, only to reveal a surprising weapon. A mini-gun, he brought a mini-gun to a sword fight.
Let's see how this plays out.
Sternritter 'K' pointed the gun at Nnoitra and began firing bullets, although his comrades warned him.
"Don't aim for vital spots, remember alive!" 'J' reminded, still remembering the shame he felt when his squad was found and died.
The gun began to spiral, which revealed many fast placed bullets, they rammed the Espada. If it was any other Arrancar, they would've been melted to ashes, but Nnoitra was different.
"N-Nani!?" BG9 yells as he notices the bullets are seemingly bouncing off the Espada. Nnoitra grinned and focuses reiatsu into his blade, 'K' had no time to act as the massive crescent blade was slammed onto his shoulder, cutting through his natural durability.
"Idiot." Quilge said getting a nod from Cang Du.
"Gah!" he yelled in agony managing to stumble backwards.
Cang du released his reishi created claws and charged Nnoitra, he smirked and awaited the attack. Sternritter 'I' slammed his right hand directly in the Quinto's chest, but only widened his eyes when he could not pierce his Hierro.
As Nnoitra grinned, he pulled the chain on his blade back causing it to flybackwards towards the two. Cang only stood still and waited for his natural powers to take effect. The great blade slammed into his back, but only caused the Quinto to widen his eyes, the two knew this wasn't going to be fun.
"Well, this isn't going to be quick, might as well introduce ourselves." he spoke before stepping back.
"My name is Cang Du, Sternritter 'I' the Iron." he said waiting for his foe to do the same.
"Nnoitra Gilga, Quinto Espada." he said before reading his blade once more.
Karakura Town
The young orange-haired Quincy was sleeping warmly in his bed, completely void of any disturbance. Although he may have been awake, he did not want to wake up. The sound of down-pouring rain was constant, never even for a moment stopping. He heard his door openend and prepared for the worst.
Except, it didn't come.
"Oi Ichigo, I'm leaving for Naruki City with the girls, I won't be back until late tonight or tomorow." he said calmly.
"Alright..." Ichigo said lazily still forcing his eyes closed, clearly looking forward to more sleep.
"NOW GET UP!" the black haired father says cheerfully loudly, Ichigo eyes rang painfully, he got up but was only hurt even more. Before he could yell at him Isshin was already out there door laughing like a maniac.
"By Ichi,"
"By nii-san!" his two sisters say before leaving his room. He sighed and fell back, he wouldn't be able to sleep now because of that.
Ichigo waits a few minutes before getting up, since it's raining and he feels lazy he isn't going to do everything like any other day. Instead he quickly go eats and then gets ready, he is no rush as he is no where planned to go.
He finds himself now in the shower, enjoying the steaming hot water. He would need this if he dared to go outside, winter was coming closer than ever and it was already starting to get dark. With nothing else o think about his thoughts drifted on his new friend, 'She's probably staying home.' he thought to himself. It would make sense, not like yesterday where they actually went out and did stuff, but he just can't see them doing anything when it's pouring rain outside.
He grabs a large towel and wraps himself, he was already feeling chilled by the inside temperature, and the heat was on.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
The door was being knocked on, he wanted to ignore it but it could be important. But seeing as how light the knock was he didn't bother.
*KNOCK KNOCK* This time it was louder, it even startled the young man. He walked half-way down the stairs before stopping himself, 'Wait, I don't need this.' he said to himself before turning back around.
*BANG BANG* Ok now, it had to have been someone he knew. The only person he knew who would literally smash there hands on the door as if there trying to break it down was Yoruichi. Ichigo wasn't too happy, he angrily walked back down and prepared himself.
He was going to yell at the cat, he didn't care if she beat him to death, he was going prove to her he wasn't afraid of her.
He opened the door and yelled.
"What the hell do you want you stupid purple-haired cat!" he yelled looking straight ahead.
Bambietta stared oddly at Ichigo, sure he was a weird person from the beginning but this was just crazy. But unfortunately for her, she was not in the best spot either. Her long luscious black hair was soaking wet from the rain, her attire was a bit wet but she managed to cover it using another piece of cloth.
She could not use Hirenkyaku, as her clothes shielded her reiatsu from being exposed and used.
"Oh...hi Bambietta...I'll be right back..." he said before slowly closing the door, but as soon as those word hit her ear she narrowed her eyes and forcefully stopped Ichigo from closing.
"So you're just going to leave me out here?" she asked sarcastically. Ichigo noticed her trembling, she was obviously freezing.
"Sorry...come in then." he says awkwardly, he holds the door open and watches as she runs inside. He closes the door and turns to face her, by now he was already dry, the room temperature was high, but soothing for anyone who had just come from outside.
"I'll be righ-"
"L-Let me have your towel," she asks interrupting him. Ichigo sighs but agrees, he slowly undoes his wrapped covering but only stops as he realizes what's going on.
"What! No!" he says defenselessly slowly backing away.
"Hurry then I'm freezing!" she replies in a command-like tone.
Five Minuets Later
"Are you enjoying this Kurosaki? Does this get you off?" she asked annoyed by his stare. During the intervention Ichigo quickly got dressed, as much as she wanted to chase him she could not as her body was freezing. But being the orange-haired boy he is, he quickly solved this issue by handing her Yuzu's large blanket, which she took quickly.
"No this doesn't 'get me off' or whatever that means." he replied just as annoyed. She looked back towards the T.V, but she did notice his gaze, his gaze which for whatever reason wouldn't leave her.
"What are you staring?"
"How come you didn't bring an umbrella?" he asks noticing her almost dry hair.
Now she felt embarrassed, but she didn't even know it raining in this world. In Silbern it's either always sunny, or always cloudy.
"I didn't know it would be raining." she said honestly. She didn't know, but when she used the Gate of the Sun to appear, she had to wait outside his house for many hours until his family left.
'But it's been raining all morning.' he thought to himself.
"How did you even know where I lived?" he asked now realizing why she so here.
"You told me yesterday remember?" she lied.
Ichigo thought back, he isn't the type of person to blindly give out his address to people.
"What, you don't want me hear? I thought you wanted to see me again." she said smirking, Ichigo sat back a little as she moved head closer, he did indeed say that.
"Ah no, it's just I could have gotten you, you didn't have to come here by yourself." he says looking away. Her smirk changed into a grin, she has him completely cornered.
"Aww, that's so sweet. Tell me Kurosaki, do you do that with every girl you know?" she asked pressing her body against is. She noticed he now closed his eyes for some reason, he wasn't even worrying about her body basically almost on top of his, for whatever reason he is avoiding something. "What now?" she asks sitting a bit more back.
"Sorry...your hair is messy and a bit wet." he answered drying himself with his shirt. She widened her eyes before returning back to the narrowed gaze, clearly he doesn't know much time it takes for a person like her to do her hair, even Candice helped her, which took hours.
"Kurosaki...do you really know how to talk to a girl?" she asked looking down.
'Ichigo remember, there will be girls who will like you for being who you are, and there will be some who will want you to be a bit different, but I know everyone is going to love my little cherry boy!'
Ichigo recalled the embarrassing words that his mother spoke to him long ago, he tried to figure out what kind of girl Bambietta was, so far she has been one that he's never encountered. She has the fierce power of Yoruichi, but can be a bit soft at time. She also had an explosive side, which could be worse than Yoruichi's, a side which he hasn't truly experienced.
It was confusing, but he likes her for who she is.
"I wasn't making fun of you, it looks fine, just a little damp." he spoke hoping to calm her down.
"Fine...it looks...fine?"she replied darkly, 'Candice will kill you if you ever call her hair fine.' she thought to herself remembering how important her comrades hair is to her.
'Another thing, never use words like 'fine' or 'ok' or 'good' always use bigger words, otherwise they will feel as if they did a bad job despite putting in hours of effort.' Masaki says happily.
He really wishes that memory came before he said the words fine.
"Ah I mean uh...it looks nice, No! I mean good! Pretty yea! It looks pretty and nice!" he uttered swiftly.
"You try way too hard Kurosaki." she spoke now calm, but he still kept staring at her. He did enjoy sitting next to her in his house, but he really enjoyed walking next to her outside, it sort of reminded him of his Shinigami days. Fighting along side his friends, maybe that's why he enjoys doing it so much.
Who knows, maybe one day they will be standing next to each other, fighting waves and waves of foes.
The thought was just a thought, created from his imagination, there was no way she could be some ultra-powerful fight capable of stopping a war by herself. There's just no way.
"Want to...go out?"
"It's raining harder than ever..." she really didn't mind leaving, but even if they did go with an umbrella it would probably be useless against the hard rain.
"If it gets better we can go." he stated getting a nod from her.
"So we have some time to kill..." she spoke idly.
"Yea." he replied.
"Wanna have some fun?" she spoke before pretending to undress her self.
"What no! There's no way we can do that here..." he declined the offer almost hesitant, but knew he couldn't do it.
"Oh! So it's here you can't do it, how about this..." she got as close as possible, "But maybe you can be in my place." she spoke lusciously, Ichigo couldn't help it, his face turned red and was also pinned down. As her knees kept his legs in place she managed to bring both of his arms together, using her right hand she held both of them in place. "I know you have a breaking point Ichigo, you can stop with your fake prudeness." she said using her left hand to slowly rub his chest.
'Her hand...it's so soft...' he said to himself. He doesn't know if he can take much more of this, despite not really know what's going on. He had just met her but has felt more and more friendly, he enjoys spending time with her. When he lost his powers their was time when he didn't really want to talk to anyone, and he is feeling that right now. But something really attracts her to him, out of anyone he knows she is the one person where he actually looks forward to seeing.
'Get away from her.' an unknown voice was heard, suddenly Ichigo felt something move for him, his arm suddenly broke free from her hand. He quickly pushed her aside and sat up, but he was only confused on why that had happened.
She was even more surprised that happened, and the look on his face meant that he didn't know what had just occurred either. This could be bad, somehow she figured out that he wasn't planning for that to happen.
'No, perhaps his blood is kickin' in.' she thought. His Quincy blood has been 'locked away' meaning it hasn't been effecting him. As Ichigo never knew and he only trained with his sword, never really his true Quincy powers.
"Sorry...I-"
"It's fine, but next time you won't get away so easily!" she promised forming a smile.
From a Distance
"Tessai, is there anything?" Urahara asks looking over to his partner.
"No Urahara-san, even after planning Isshin to leave she is still hiding something." he answered.
"We need a plan, if we go in right now and capture her Ichigo won't be happy, in fact he will most likely be upset and not trust us anymore..." the blonde-haired man spoke seriously.
"We could use drastic measures..."
"If we have to resort to using another Hollow Bait for this, then we will, whoever she is Soul Society does not know her, and I don't know of any groups with this particular look of reiatsu either, well there is one boy." he replied.
"How did you gather her reiatsu? I thought you said she was wearing something that even blocked out Soul Society's Radar."
"When Yoruichi was chatting with her she managed to anger her, causing her reiatsu to spike up, while whatever she is wearing is covering that a little bit, just a little of it was able to leak out, who ever she is someone who becomes angry a lot, meaning she may have a lot of authority." he waited a few more seconds, forming an analysis. "I dare to guess Tessai...the theory has been in my head for along time but I never believe it would be true. Another thing, fortunately for us the rain has been able to drench through her attire, meaning whatever she is wearing may soon lose it's purpose and we will definitely know what she is."
"Genius..." he complimented.
"I just hope whatever she is doing with Kurosaki-kun isn't deadly, he seems to be enjoying it, which is the strangest part."
"Why is that strange Boss?"
"He has never really acted like this before, we've been spying on him ever since Orihime-chan told us, and he's been a bit out of character. He isn't even showing any signs of being sad about his powers, she seems to eclipse that event. I'm starting to believe if she was never hear then he would be worse than depressed, perhaps even unstable."
Las Noches
"Why do we come here three times a day if well did is hear the same crap every time?" Grimmjow said before putting his hands in his pocket and leaning back.
"Because we all like seeing each other." the Octova replied sarcastically.
"Everyone shut up, ant, what did you call us here for?" Baraggan says looking over to Aaroniero.
"I have something for you all to see and hear, the Quincy are not here to kill us." he finished before standing up and going by the wall of the room. Everyone watched as he transformed back into the Quincy known as Alios.
"Now, for starters we should get to the relationships of Quincy, Hollow, Human, and Shinigami." he announced. "For one, Syzael and I have been talking, we have gathered Shinigami reiatsu as well as samples from this body."
"And?" Halibel asked wondering why this is such an issue where they needed everyone to be here.
"It's the similarities between them."
"..." No one seemed to care.
"There are none, whatsoever." he said causing a few to raise an eyebrow. "We always believed it was us Hollows that were the other side of Shinigami, when in reality, we are the other sides of Humans." he said. Everyone now had a confused expression, it was odd to hear something like that, Shingami have been killing Hollows since the beginning of the world, so it's only natural to think there polar opposites.
"So if were not the opposites, then that means..." Nel trailed off.
"Quincy and Shinigami are polar opposites. This man knows of a great war which happened over 1000 years ago, it involved a war between the two to determine how hollows were dealt with, I'm sure you know who won that war."
"And there here because they know were allied with the Shinigami...they must also have thought they need to get rid of us as well for helping them." Starrk said almost figuring out the plan.
"Primera-sama, what happens when two opposites hate each other for thousands of years, what happens when the conflict never ends despite no bloodshed? What will come eventually?"
"...War." the Primera said smartly getting nods from the more intelligent Espada.
"Right, these people were here not to kill us, but to use us against the Shinigami." Aaroniero spoke causing them to widen their eyes.
"Hey wait, where's Nnoitra?" Nel finally pointed out, he just assumed he was late but was getting too caught up in the lesson. The people that did notice him didn't really say anything, not like they really liked each other.
"Heh, maybe there was something out there..." Grimmjow scoffed getting intense glares from everyone else.
"What are you talking about?"
"What did you Grimmjow…"
"God damn it Grimmjow."
The Sexta merely ignored his comrades, wasn't his fault Nnoitra was missing.
"What happened?" Starrk asked taking a sigh.
"Fine, shit, we were outside fightin' and when I wanted to go back he said he felt something. He tried to make me stay but I told him to screw off." The blue-haired Panther exclaimed.
"I can confirm that, I checked our cameras." The Octova confirmed.
"Why didn't you stay?" Halibel said coldly, narrowing her eyes.
"What Halibel!? You upset cause' I left your boyfriend alone?" he replied loudly. The Tereca kept her gaze, it looked even more menacing than before despite not actually moving. She never had anything against Grimmjow, as he never went out of his way to show his disrespect to a superior, so she didn't mind him. Also, in no way was Nnoitra her boyfriend, she just refused to acknowledge that statement.
"You see, that's what I was just talking about. They managed to capture our dividing member which separates the strongest from the weakest." Aaroniero spoke still using the body of Alios.
"Do I really need lock this place down?" Starrk asked taking a huge sigh, clearly not looking forward to doing more work.
"Whatever happened, I believe he is not dead." The pink-haired Espada confirmed causing a very to glance over. "No matter how far the distance, I would have felt him release, I believe he was…trapped somehow." He finished.
"Trapped?" Rudborrn asked.
"Imprisoned, jailed, something was keeping him from releasing." He theorized. "Anyways, I'll look more into it." He concluded.
"Alright then, In the mean time we need someone to fill in his spot, even if it's temporary, any suggestions?" Starrk asked.
"Oh I know, Luppi!" Nel suggest cheerfully.
"No, No,NO!" Grimmjow yelled. "There is no way that little shit-head is going to be a rank lower than me, I'll kill him if he does." He threatened.
There was no one really capable of beating Grimmjow apart from the rest of the Espada, so there really could be no Quinto Espada. So they had to fill in someone who in the hole while they awaited Nnoitra's current status.
"Ggio Vega?"
"No,"
"We can do something different, how about Halibel's Fraccione?"
As much as it sounded like a good idea, it wouldn't fit in well. Even with all them together they wouldn't even be able to do much, despite their strongest card, Ayon.
"Well, if they had better team work then it wouldn't be too bad." Starrk replied.
"May I suggest someone from the Privaron Espada?" Rudborrn suggested.
They all seemed to have come to an agreement.
"Bring him here." Baraggan ordered.
One Minute Later
"Hello, Senior and Senorita's!" Dordonii says as he walks into the room with a huge smile.
"Cut it worm, you've been here before so you know the drill." The Segunda said prompting the now temporary Quinta to sit down.
"You picked this guy!?" the Sexta roared causing everyone to close their ears, if he wanted to, he could probably kill someone that way.
"It is OK Sexta-sama, I know my rank and place, in no way am I stronger than you!" he said hoping to calm the blue-haired man, which it did.
"Wait, Wait, why are we worrying about this when Nnoitra is still alive?" Nel asked placing her hands on the desk and rising up.
"Do you really have to care?" Yammy asked getting a nod from the Octova.
"Neliel, there's nothing we can do, we don't even know where they are and leading an army out would probably end in us falling for a trap. That is why I didn't want anyone leaving the fortress, if we stay here we can defend a lot easier." The Primera exclaimed glaring at Grimmjow. "Dordonii, you will be given a tattoo, but instead of having number five you will have a negative sign, indicating you are in no way capable of taking any of us on with the apart." He spoke harshly.
As hard as it sounded, he didn't care.
"I understand Starrk-sama, no matter what ranked weak or not, I am happy to be at this table." He said proudly.
Another reason why Dordonii was chosen and not someone stronger like Luppi, was because Grimmjow would indeed have a panic attack and would most likely kill the she-man again. He was fortunately healed by Orihime, which he thanks greatly for.
Everyone took pride in being an Espada, even if they didn't really like being there. Even when Aizen is gone they still hold dearly to their ranks.
"I swear not to disappoint, as I, Dordonii Alessandro Del Soccaio, -5 Quinto Espada, will not disappoint!" He swears now sitting down next to Grimmjow.
Urahara Shop
"I'm glad you all arrived." Urahara says calmly as he looks at the group of people he has called over. The group of people being Chado, Orihime, and Uryu.
"Why did we need to come over?" Ishida says annoyed to have to come here during the down pouring rain.
"Ishida-kun, it must be about the enemy?" Inoue says referring Bambietta as an enemy, for multiple reasons.
"How do we even know she's an enemy, what if Ichigo just likes her?" Chado says earning a gasp from Inoue.
"No…she is right Sado. There is something about here I am trying to decipher, and this is our only chance, thank you for reporting this Orihime, this is a bigger issue then then you all think." He said seriously.
"Where are they right now?" Sado asked.
"In Kurosaki-kun's apartment, we have reishi created cameras installed, we are just waiting for her to make a move." He said before the monitors suddenly turned on, revealing Bambietta holding having Ichigo in a deep head-lock.
"What does she think she's doing Kisuke?" Yoruichi asks darkly coming from behind.
"From what it looks like, she is somehow beating Kurosaki-san." He spoke nonchalantly.
"Kisuke, that's what I do, only I can do that." She spoke even darker than before.
"I know Yoruichi, I'm sure we all know that." He replied not daring to cross the angry purple-haired woman.
Kurosaki Residence
Bambietta watches as Ichigo struggles to regain his breathe, just a moment ago she attacked him and forced him into a head lock, Ichigo was surprised on how well she knew hot fight, he knew more of Karate style while she was trained in a military fashion.
"I like the sound of that Kurosaki, maybe next time you will accomplish something before making those heavy breathes." She uttered before leaning back on the soft couch.
"Gah, what are you even-" he stopped when he figured out what she was trying to say. That she would enjoy hearing the same sound after a good round of her favorite type of stress relief.
Suddenly, something with caught her attention, she dared to turn around but she had a pretty good guess from what has been going on.
'Reishi, it's everywhere in the house.' She thought to herself feeling the good amount. Whoever was planting it must have been suspicious, she knows she has to hurry this up now, if not she may no longer be able to see her orange haired friend, if that's what he was.
He's been more of a friend than anyone else has known.
The female Sternritter looked around at the pictures, she already knew he had to two twins sister, even if they don't really look like each other. She saw his father and a younger picture of him, which she teased about. He hadn't really changed since looking a child, but one thing did catch her eyes.
There is someone that is standing next to him, someone with the same colored hair but a bit longer, she was young, perhaps too young to have three kids. She was pretty, and she seemed enjoy being with her son.
'Masaki Kurosaki is the reason why he possess Quincy blood, all of his powers come from her, she may have not been the strongest, but that's only because she didn't live a long life. If she had trained herself gradually, then even I would have come to fear her.'
Yhwach's words rang in her head, he also told her that the mention of his mom seems to put him in a bad mood, but she was curious, and being someone who normally orders everyone around and gains information through fear, is rare to become curious.
"Ichigo," she says softly, trying to be as delicate at possible.
"Hm?" he replies looking over.
"Who's…that?" she asked slowly.
Ichigo saw the picture of his mother, and for whatever reason, he didn't really change much. For whatever reason, he didn't feel the urge to hide himself from this, as if speaking to Bambietta about it didn't seem too about it.
"That's my mom, she passed away a long time ago." He spoke calmly, while he was still sad about her death he didn't let it get to him that much anymore. Sure he has his moments, but he has to look forward and that's what he is doing right now.
'Your mother and I love you very much Bambietta, I'm sorry but I don't have much time, forgive me for being…impure.'
"But where ever she is, I'm sure she's happy to know I'm doing fine." He said looking out the window.
"What are you talkin' about?" she asked.
"Well I mean I don't do the best in school but I've done other things which I know she would be happy for me." He said smiling at the memories of being a Shinigami, helping out his friends and loved ones, then losing his powers, and losing them again.
'Proud of where you have gotten huh?' she asked herself now in deep thought.
"..."
"The weathers getting better, it's still drizzling though." He said before standing up. She got up to, happy to leave this trapped house, she knew the reishi must have been placed before his other family members left. While Ichigo wore his black jacket Bambietta had already left the house, but the left the door open. He stared oddly at her as she stood in the drizzle, as if not knowing what to do.
He locked the door behind him and released his umbrella, although she didn't know that because she did not come around to see him. He stared from behind, the rain hit her hard and she was clearly not enjoying it, he could only wonder why she wanted to walk ahead of him during the rain. Sighing, he quickly catches up and forces her to get close, even if she didn't want to.
"What are you doing?" she asks now annoyed.
"You don't want your hair to get wet right? It's fine we'll just walk together…" he said a bit embarrassed. She didn't say anything, only a victorious smirk as she felt already more ahead than any other girl that has come to try for him.
"…" Silence goes by, just the way she wants it. It was difficult to formulate plans while trying to act normal, so this time was valuable. However, she was having an even more difficult time with that as she noticed other people were walking about, except they were different than Ichigo and her.
The other people which were just normal citizens, thye had the same thing as they did except they were more…connected. The Explosion stares at the hands of the fellow couple which were around them, they were intertwined together, and to make things even more special, there was a ring on them.
She then looked up at Ichigo, he was looking straight ahead, not really paying attention to anything else. She smiled and formulated a plan, the thoughts of Yoruichi still angered her, so if she was watching she would get him with this.
She places her left hand with his and forcefully squeezes it, "What are you doing?" he asked not really caring about how she felt.
"Well damn Kurosaki, you're ruthless. I was cold is all…" she lied. She let go of his hand as she believe he didn't want that to happen. But as she let go, she felt his hand capture hers.
"No…it's fine, I was just surprised is all." He said trying to avoid the awkwardness.
Well, now she wasn't cold.
'Soft...'
'Warm...'
Off in the distance they both heard a crumbling sound, as if something just destroyed a nearby building. Either someone was mad, or there doing construction during the rain.
I think it's more likely that someone is mad.
Urahara
"C-Calm down Yoruichi, no need to take everything out on me, I'm not the one holding Kurosaki-san's hand!" Urahara utters backing away from the angry cat.
"Hurry up Kisuke! I hope to god she isn't human, I'll kill her right now." she threatened crossing her arms. "What about you Inoue? You're just going to let this fly by?" she asked.
"I...don't want Kurosaki-kun being with someone bad..." she mumbled, secretly hiding her true feelings.
"Boss, I have the bait." Tessai says revealing a cubed-like box with a black pill in the center. The pilled was filled with rich reiatsu, Hollows will almost instantly, they could not refuse this.
"Alright, we'll wait until they are separated, we wouldn't want the hollows going after Ichigo." Urahara said now focusing intensely on there reishi created cameras.
Ichigo
"Miso soup please,"
"Ramen."
The two sat at a bar at convenient Ramen shop, it was the only one open as the rest of the district is closed from the harsh weather. Bambietta was never exposed to Japanese foods, as she mainly ate whatever the Empire had. But Ichigo didn't mind helping her, in fact he thought it was fun. Although, she never enjoyed asking for help, she was a Sternritter after all.
'They're moving,' she thought to herself, she knew it was Yourichi who smashed the nearby building, she knows they are watching her. 'Shinigami are tyrants, they are evil, there going to plan something now, I even may have to kill them.'
Killing them wouldn't be a problem, it's just that if Ichigo sees it he may fear her.
She needs to speed things up, today may be the day, although she really wishes she had more time.
"Ichigo,"
"Hm?" he asks before taking a bite from the chicken in his soup.
This was difficult for her, she couldn't just go out and ask about his powers, she needed a reference, something that he will relate to. But there was really nothing, but then it hit. It may be insensitive but she wants him, the Vandenreich needs a special war potential like him.
"Your mother...how did she..." she didn't want to finish, she hoped he would just get without wondering.
"She was...attacked." he answered figuring away to diminish the hollow in the story. '
'Powers...' What happens if that happens again? If another Hollow like Grand Fisher comes for another family member, perhaps Yuzu or Karin? There spiritual energy is increasing as the older they get, Karin can even see ghosts. 'I need my powers...no matter what they are I need something...I can't be weak forever...'
This is the first time where he really thought about this.
"Damn...no matter how many police officers there are it seems that there will always be people to slip by." she said in a code-like term.
'Police...Shinigami...hollows...' he began to put the pieces together. Why weren't there any Shinigami when his mother died? He has never let one human die from being a substitute, he always made sure people.
So how come they couldn't do the same for him?
'Yes Ichigo, they aren't your friends, they aren't your family, we are.'
"What about you, what are your parents like?" he asked trying to focus more.
"I...don't know." she spoke honestly, she really didn't know, the last thing her father told her was that he was 'impure' and after that, he died.
"Oh...sorry..."
"Hey! Don't go off feeling bad for me, I feel bad for you, I mean having girl like me around and your over here trying to restrain your urges." she said loudly.
"What are you saying! I'm not-"
Ichigo stopped when he noticed how many people were staring at him. He became red, anyone would when a girl just pointed out that you were 'restraining your urges'. But to make it even worse for Ichigo is, she was lying.
Or was she?
"Haha, Kurosaki why are you so funny?" she asked trying to contain herself. He only sighed, her teasing and his reaction is what makes her laugh. It's the only time where she can laugh, it was pretty foreign to her.
"..."
"Oh c'mon, I was just messing around, you and I are a lot alike ya' know?" she spoke giving him a friendly nudge. He looked over and made a friendly smile.
"Yea, we are." he replied standing up ready to leave. She noticed as they left he still had the smile on his face, she couldn't help but return it, but in a grin like fashion.
'They're moving closer," she said to herself, now having a plan.
"Let's go over here," she suggested yanking his arm at surprising strength.
Silbern
"You bring more bad news?" Yhwach says as he angrily looks down on the three Sternritter who are kneeling.
"No your Majesty, we have good news. We have captured an Espada, more precisely, the Quinto." Quilge says proudly, acting as if he was who single-handily took him down.
"I see, where is he now?" the Emperor asked.
"Trapped in my jail." he answered tonelessly.
"What happened to you Sternritter 'K'?" he asked the masked-man.
"Forgive me your Majesty, I underestimated his strength and was cut down, he is indeed strong." he replied greatly apologizing.
"Stronger than my Star Knight? BG9 you make it seem as if they are stronger then us, what's the point of having you if all you can do is underestimate an opponent and be cut down? You are lucky your comrades saved you."
The sound of blade hit the floor, no one can see his eyes but they widened with fear, with fear of death. Like other Sternritter they all fear death, but he was more terrified it than most.
"I see that you are fine, 'I'." he stated noticing his mint condition.
"Yes your Majesty, if I may ask, why were we placed in the Hunting squad?"
"You dare question my orders?" he replied darkly, the blade hit the floor again, both 'I' and 'K' not even daring to move.
"N-No, forgive us your Majesty, I helped in defeating the Quinto." he said quickly before keeping his head lowered than before.
"At least, you didn't lose." he spoke focusing back to BG9.
"..."
"So what if his status now, is he an extremist?"
"He seemed more of a battle-maniac, he didn't even want to retreat despite the sign of defeat coming, we also trapped him before he could release his zanpaktou." Quilge informed.
"So if we place him in the same area as the Shinigami, then he should be a help to us. Bring him, 'J'." he ordered.
Quilge did as told and stood up, wherever Nnoitra was the sudden jail has been broken, he was then sent to the throne room, collapsing from exhaustion. He wasn't even cut up badly, he could have definitely taken out two of them, possibly three. Haschwalth quickly went over and took his crescent-like blade, without he wouldn't be able to do much.
"You cowards...you knew I would have slaughtered all three of you..." he said before heavy breathes.
"Fifth Espada, what is your name?" Ywhach asked keeping his eyes dead on the Quinto.
Normally he wouldn't even bother speaking to this trash, but he knew he could not do anything right now. If he wanted to continue fighting, he would need to put away his natural motives and accept defeat for now.
He will get them back.
"...Nnoitra Gilga." he utters coldly.
"Do you seek strength Nnoitra?" he asked causing the Espada to widen his eyes. If there is one thing that gains his attention apart from fighting, it's the ability to get stronger.
"..."
"I know people like you, I've been alive probably longer than you have. People seek strength because of the hardships in there life, they seek it because it is the only thing which hasn't betrayed them, which hasn't left them, which hasn't forgotten them."
"...Go on..."
"You only followed Aizen because of strength correct? Only people who have fought there entire lives believe in that. If I offer you strength, will you follow me?" he asked, not really he had much of a choice.
"I don't care who it is, human, Shinigami, Quincy, Arrancar, Hollow, I'll take em all down." he answered darkly.
"Welcome Nnoitra Gilga, to the Vandenreich." Yhwach said tonelessly.
And with that, something unexpected happened. Haschwalth came behind Nnoitra surprising him, he then slammed his blade against his head, causing him to fall unconscious.
"Just because you are in our Empire doesn't change the fact that you're a Hollow, this won't be easy Espada." 'B' said coldly keeping his eyes narrowed.
He isn't going to have a fun time here, and maybe the abuse will eventually cause him to act out, perhaps even allying himself with a man. A man that he actually came to respect, but that man isn't here right now, he's somewhere else, fighting with his division.
But once these two reunite, the battle will have a major cross.
Karakura Town
"Well...today went by quick." he said almost disappointed.
"Yea..." she said both awkwardly gazing at each other. 'Damn it Kurosaki, how the hell can I get anything done when you look at me like that?' she aloud in her mind.
The way he looked at her wasn't different at all, it was the same friendly one as before. It's just she's believing it was something different, or perhaps, hoping it was different. She may have been tricking herself, but she wasn't that far off.
She could not do it today, it had to be another. Seeing one last valiant attempt for them to come closer, she slowly moves her head closer, but not up.
He kept staring at the city, not really paying much attention. Suddenly, something hit him, he looked down and noticed a flop of black hair hitting his chest. He knew saying her name would make her angry, so he didn't really know what to do. She didn't move her hands anywhere, only waited for him.
Ichigo still idle, slowly moved his left hand around her, but he went as slow as possible. As much as she wanted to yell that it was ok, she actually waited and gave him a go. He wrapped his arm around her back and brought her closer, finally, they did something nice.
A few more moments went by but eventually she backed away, the mission for today was to have at least on moment together, which she did outstandingly.
"Later," she says walking back, not really giving a proper fell ware.
"Oi wait, will I-"
"Yea, yea, yea, calm down, I'll see you. Unless, you want to come with me?" she asks turning around to face him. For moment he considered it, I mean what's really the down side, if anything he will just get beat up again.
His feet move a few steps before stopping, "Maybe next time..." he says smiling. She turns back around and begins to walk, he does the same.
From a Distance
"Make sure to throw it in her direction, if not the Hollows may scour and find there way to Kurosaki-san." Urahara says looking over to Yoruichi, who is the most physically strong.
"Yea I know, I just can't wait to watch these hollows devour her." she says darkly before huddling the box into the air. It fell at a normal pace, but everyone even a few humans felt the pressure of it crashing onto the ground, emitting a large amount of rich-filled reiatsu.
Bambietta
As the Explosion prepared herself for summoning the Gate of the Sun, she feels an immense pressure come near her. Suddenly, something in the air begins to rip, as if beings are coming towards her.
'Those dumb Shinigami are trying to expose me,"
She watched as a Kumon ripped it's self in the air, revealing many Gillian Hollow, followed by other forms of low-class soul eaters.
As soon as there eyes scattered on her, they instantly knew she would be the best target to consume. She knew this was all a plan for her to expose herself, and it was well played. She didn't remove her cloak, she only ran, and even without her reiatsu at her side she was fast. She kept looking over to check if they were still following.
But as she looks behind in the distance, she knows one hollow is acting out, her eyes widen as the Hollow loses interest in her and heads elsewhere.
'That direction...!'
She didn't hesitate, she hid her hand in her cloak and began gathering reishi, soon she managed to form her short broadsword.
Ichigo
"My, my, a special hidden treat right here." a dark voice calls him from behind. Ichigo turns around and widens his eyes, in front of him lies a large hollow, almost tripled his own size.
The Hollow was big and muscular, it had green skin with long brown hair, and he used two spines which were for combat. He had a skull-like mask, and his Hollow hole being directly below his abdomen.
In some weird way, Ichigo smiled. He smiled as he knew this was a good sign, the fact that was even able to see the hollow made him feel happy, as if he is one step closer to becoming who he once was, the great Shinigami warrior.
But perhaps he would be in a different class of warrior.
Then the fear came.
"No use running!" the hollow yelled before quickly catch up, using his long arms he managed to basically slap Ichigo on the back, causing him to stumble and crash on the ground. He agonized in pain, but already had a huge natural tolerance. He slowly got up but was having problems, this was his human body, much weaker than his Shinigami one, which was capable of being thrown into building by building, and still being fine.
"Oh god can you hurry up? I'm notorious for loving to play with food!" he yelled before grabbing him into the air and once again, slamming him on the ground.
Ichigo was now having problems moving, he slowly rose, but if he gets hit again he doesn't feel as if he can take it anymore. His life, his accomplishments and future plans, will be over.
As the spiny blade came closer, his life flashed before his eyes, growing up, meeting people, losing his mother, finding Rukia, being a Shinigami, fighting other Shinigami, fighting hollows and Arrancar, then defeating Aizen.
Soul Society.
He wonders what they're doing right now, clearly not killing the hollows which infest the world, the Shinigami which were stationed here are obviously not doing there jobs, when in reality they were just as surprised to notice a large surge of hollows appear at one spot for no particular reason.
'Chad...Inoue...Ishida...Yuzu...Karin...Dad...Mom...Rukia...everyone...'
'Bambietta...'
Oh he hopes she doesn't ever find out that he died, he finds it tragic when you say goodbye to someone then knowing that they died the same night. It would be better if she never knew what had happened, because then maybe unlike Soul Society, she wouldn't forget about him.
"..."
"..."
It's coming.
He can feel it.
He can just imagine the smiles of the captains of the Gotei 13 who never really cared, sure there were some that did, but in reality he was used, he gave everything and they gave nothing. They weren't there in the time of his moms death, and now, they weren't there in the time of his own death.
A lone tears runes down his face, he isn't sad about death, he is sad about how death is coming to him. If he is going to die, then he wants to die knowing he did something during his death, not like this. He was prepared to die to Aizen, he was prepared to die against Ulquiorra and Grimmjow, he was prepared to die when he invaded Soul Society, but he was never prepared to die like this.
He closed his eyes, glad to have spent the day with one last friend before he departed into another world.
The one friend where he would choose to spend his last with.
"GAH!" he hears the hollow scream, Ichigo opens his eyes but shoots them even further as the hollow his suddenly on his knees. "What is this feeling!?" he asks aloud, he watched as his body does not purify, but becomes ashes, he is watching his own body disintegrate into nothingness, it was a horrifying feeling, he couldn't even believe it.
'This sense!'
"Thank you, Ishida!" Ichigo says as the hollow vanishes, but instead of going somewhere he is completely dead, that soul is no longer alive, it is forever gone.
"..."
"Bambietta?" Ichigo utters as there eyes cross. He runs over and immediately crushes her in a brutal hug, one which surpassed Giselle's.
"I was so worried...!" he said not caring about how she felt about it. He did hope none of the hollows came for her.
"L-Let go of me damn it!" she yelped managing to force him back.
"..." As he looks down, he notices something in her hand, an odd looking broad sword with a forked blade-style. His eyes widen, it was obvious that the sword was filled with reishi, and she was the one who killed the hollow.
"Bambietta...you were..."
"Ichigo, come with me okay?" she asks suddenly.
"Huh? What was that? Did you kill the hollow?" he replied with a bombardment of questions.
"Yes but I can answer everything later, it's just come with me ok? I know you, I know you want your powers back...they are there, your TRUE powers, ones that cannot be taken from you." she says putting the blade away. She just hopes she does not have to bring it out once more.
"What are you talking about? Are you a Shinigami?"
"No! I'm not one those damn Shinigami! And neither are you!" she yelled.
"What, I-"
"Ichigo, I'll tell you everything right now, I'll expose Soul Society for you, I know how you feel, you feel as if they used use to defeat Aizen, which they did!" she spoke causing him to become even more frantic, he feels as if everything he has been speculating is coming true.
"So just come with me, I can help you, you don't have to be with them, sure a few are friends but most are twisted." she promised.
"What are you?" he asked.
She went up to his ear, she couldn't let these words be heard by anyone else, "Quincy..." she whispered.
'Ishida...'
"But what does that have to do with me?"
"You're one to..."
He flinched, he was a Quincy? There was no way, when he had a sword in his hands, he felt right, he felt as if that's how it was supposed to be. "We use swords to you know, look at mine." she pointed out. Thoughts ran through his head, is this really happening? How could this be happening? How could be a Quincy?
How come no one ever told him?
"Ichigo!"
"Kurosak-san, get away from her."
The voices of the Urahara and Yoruichi caused the two to look over, the rest of his friends who fighting the hollows, which of course turned out to be another failed try, the amount increased drastically.
"You two..."
"Ichigo don't listen to them, they're just like the others." 'E' says causing the orange-haired boy to widen his eyes even further.
'Urahara-san, Yoruichi-san? There's no way, they helped me since the beginning, they helped us invade Soul Society, they were always on my side...'
"Ichigo, look at me and tell I'm lying. When have we ever gone against you?" Yoruichi asks with sad cat-like eyes. He doesn't fall for it but does think about it, it's true, with Ichigo and his friend, it was more of them against the world.
"..." Urahara keeps quiet, his words won't help.
"You see Ichigo, it always been us together, remember us against the world? Soul Society may have left you, but we never did." the purple-haired woman says softly.
"..."
"She's right-"
"I bet they never told you this Ichigo, it's something that not even Soul Society knows about." Bambietta says narrowing her eyes at the two.
'Aww, I love you so much my little IchiIchi!'
'I would love to hold your hand my son,'
'Look at cute you are by cherry-boy! I can't wait till you get married!'
'You're going to be the best husband ever! I wish your father was more adorable like you!'
"That your mother was a Quincy."
"..."
"Ichigo I-" Urahara tried to intervene, he didn't know how they knew that information, but it serves no purpose asking now.
"Is that true?" he asked with a toneless voice.
"We-"
"Is that true!?" he asks now in a dark-hollow like tone, he didn't know where it came from but it felt good.
"...Yes."
Ichigo stumbled back a bit, he couldn't believe after everything, after doing everything in his grasp to make sure the world was safe, and yet, they can't even tell him about his own blood.
He figured it out.
His dad left so he could go to Bambietta.
Urahara followed the two to make sure she was not a huge threat.
He wanted to make sure she never spoke the secret.
His dad was in all of it.
Not even Soul Society knew, meaning his only Shinigami friends that did not also lied to him.
He hopes his real human friends didn't know either.
Ichigo turns around, words cannot describe what he is feeling right now, if anything betrayal is the best word. He was never one to get mad over things, but right now he could kill someone. Behind Ichigo, a sudden light appeared, it was yellow and filled with energy, it felt warm and nice.
"Well Ichigo?" Bambietta asks, reading her sword if the answer just so happened to be the opposite.
The Gate of the Sun surprised both Shinigami, but what really had them shocked was when for the first time ever, Ichigo turned his back against them, and moved forward. "Let's go Bambietta," he says intertwining his hand with hers. She smiled and together, they walked through the Gate of the Sun, both looking forward to the new future.
"I can't believe it..."
"..."
"Kisuke! We have to go!" Yoruichi says suddenly grasping him.
"No, we don't."
"What do you mean!?"
"It's Ichigo we are talking about, no matter how bad things are, he will always do the right thing. Did you forget that to?" he said tonelessly, the dark-skinned woman now quiet, only silently agreed.
On the other Side
"What is this?" he asks still furious, but knows there is no point in taking it out on his new friend.
"Gate of the Sun, it's used to transport between realms." she spoke still happy about his decision. "There are no lies here Ichigo, his majesty will tell you everything you want to know. He'll even help you learn your powers, the powers you were born with." she spoke now using her Sternritter voice, he was a bit startled but only nodded.
The two were engulfed by a white light, but soon they were somewhere he would least expect to be.
A room.
A white room filled with furniture and paintings, it was nice, meant for someone with high authority and power. A room meant for a Sternritter.
"Good we arrived here, now stay here, I have to hurry before the whores show up." she spoke before guiding him to the bed. He didn't want to lay down, something about him laying on her bed just made him feel strange, but as soon as he did she suddenly vanished.
Ichigo rested his pained body on the soft bed, the hollow hit hard, he was surprised he could even move because of it. Something must have been protecting him. He lays on the side and looks down, but only backs away as he notices a flop of black haired coming out from beneath.
"W-What the hell!?" he asked fearing it must have been some sort of body. The figure suddenly awoke and emerged from the bed, but she to only became surprised as the sudden presence of someone she has never seen before.
"Eh! You're not Bambi-chan!" Giselle says suddenly jumping on the bed.
"W-Who are you?" he stutters.
"Giselle Gewelle, Sternritter 'Z', the Zombie!" she says cheerfully.
(A.N End)
Alright well, He finally made it here.
Nnoitra isn't dead.

Thanks to all those who have already reviewed/followed/favorited it helps everything keep going.
If you wouldn't mind saying if the chapter was 'good' or 'bad' and if so, say why so I can not make it bad...lol.
