Chapter 4: "Surprise? I guess."
(AN: To Distinguish The Difference Between The Original And The Reigai, The Reigai Will Be Referred To As "Blue Whoever It Is". Hope That Makes It Easier To Read.)
Back with Ichigo and Yoruichi, the two were having a fantastic time together at the amusement park. They had gotten on many of the fast rides like the tallest roller coaster and the especially the fastest roller coaster. Ichigo realized very early that Yoruichi had need for speed that night since she was the one that wanted to go on those rides. He just followed along no questions asked. It was starting to get dark when her rush for speed died down to hunger.
"Wanna get some hot dogs? I'll buy you some." Ichigo asked her as they walked along a path hand in hand.
Yoruichi smiled at him and nodded. "Well aren't you being the chivalrous type my little berry." She teased him.
Ichigo had grown used to her teases and knew the best way to get back at her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him, their noses lightly touching each others. Yoruichi blushed madly at the close contact and Ichigo smiled at her as he pecked her on the cheek.
"I guess chivalry really isn't dead with me then." He whispered in her ear which sent shivers down her spine.
He let her go as they continued to walk for the nearest concession stand serving hot dogs. Ichigo payed for them like he said he would and the two walked over to a bench looking over a lake that was in the center of the park. They sat next to each other and Yoruichi leaned her head onto his shoulder while they ate. They sat in silence and watched the calm lake move gently with the slow breeze. It was peaceful and calming to the two so much, that they didn't even realize that they had been tailed for the entire date up to this point.
The six women had found each other not too long after Ichigo left the shop earlier that day. They had all expressed why they felt they deserved to be with Ichigo more so than Yoruichi did, and it only made things worse when they saw Ichigo and Yoruichi headed to the amusement park on what they assumed was a date. The six were absolutely livid when they saw those two walking hand in hand and wanted to do something. Since Ichigo couldn't see most of them, they decided to stick close together and watch them from a distance. They all watched as the two sat down on a bench and watched the lake in silence. It did look very romantic, especially with someone like Ichigo.
It would have stayed romantic, if it wasn't for a sudden spiritual pressure that flared up out of nowhere. Both the six women and Yoruichi took notice to this. Ichigo did as well but wanted to make sure that no one noticed him. Yoruichi and the girls turned to the ferris wheel and spotted several familiar individuals above it. Among those individuals were Ikkaku, Yumichika, Toshiro, Shuhei, and the last two confused them to no extent, Rangiku and Rukia. Yoruichi stood up quickly as she noticed the group of six that have been following them all night and the group of six that stood atop the ferris wheel. Ichigo noticed them too and couldn't hide his shock whatsoever. Rukia and Rangiku flashed into the air and were absolutely shocked at who they were seeing.
"So that's what I'm supposed to look like?" The Rangiku above the ferris wheel started as her eyes had an electric blue shine to them. She sighed. "Well I guess I should've expected this. An ugly original who I should just get rid of."
Blue Rangiku drew her sword and disappeared before either Rangiku or Rukia could react. She appeared in front of her original and before she could get off a horizontal slash on her, Rukia was able to barely deflect her with her sword. Both Rukia and Rangiku were forced back by the doubles intense force. They skidded to a stop in mid air and were surprised by how strong she was.
"You okay Rangiku?" Rukia asked the stunned lieutenant.
"Yeah." Rangiku hesitated as she drew her Haineko and took her stance. "Just what in the hell are these people?"
"That's just simple." The Blue Ikkaku started as he stood next to Blue Rangiku. He had his spear resting on his shoulders and had a battle hungry grin on his face.
"We're called Reigai." Blue Toshiro started as he flashed next to the two along with the other two. "We would explain, but there's no point in explaining to two dead women."
He drew his blade along with the rest and they took their stances. Rangiku and Rukia were nervous, but that changed when both Halibel and Neliel sonidoed up next to them for support. This didn't effect the six in front of them at all as they started their assault.
Back down below, Yoruichi and Ichigo looked on in surprise and almost horror as the impostors were fighting the four high above and gaining the upper hand. They watched as the impostor group focused on teaming on a single individual and keeping that one at bay. Since the girls at a number disadvantage, Yoruichi was debating on helping them or not to even the odds.
"You should go." Ichigo said, getting her attention. She looked into his eyes and saw the seriousness she expected from Ichigo in the past replaced by a soft look that reassured her. "I'll be fine. You go up there and show those guys just how strong you are, Yoruichi."
She smirked at him then flashed high above just in time to deliver a devastating kick to Shuhei. This action forced the impostors to regroup and reassess the situation.
"Well would you look at that." Yoruichi started with her usual smirk and crossed arms. "Not so tough now when it's almost an even fight, huh."
"Yoruichi Shihoin." Blue Toshiro started in an agitated tone. "Didn't expect you to show up. Why exactly are you here?"
"Well I could ask the same for these four," she pointed at them and they started to look down to Ichigo, who was looking around the sky. "But I already know that. So I'll ask the obvious. Just what the hell are you, and why are you here?" Her grin left her and she asked them that question in a serious tone.
Toshiro was about to answer her, but a new voice stopped him. "Not here, Hitsugaya. He doesn't want them to know just yet."
Both groups looked over and saw Blue Soi-Fon standing there with her lieutenant standing behind her. They flashed with the impostors and stared the five down. Blue Soi-Fon smirked at her former mentor's shocked face.
"Now that we're here Hitsugaya, we can focus on finding the target." Blue Soi-Fon said to him.
"Understood." Blue Toshiro started as he sheathed his sword. He turned to the rest as he and Blue Soi-Fon turned away. "Take care of them, and don't hold back."
With those words, both he and Blue Sou-Fon flashed away. The rest of the group rushed at the five and continued to do battle with them. They tried to separate them and succeeded in that aspect by separating Yoruichi from the rest. She was the biggest threat at the moment at least till the two arrancar release that is.
Ichigo watched from below as the five were being tested by the impostors and starting to take heavy damage. He wanted to help them but knew that once they found out about him, that they would inform the others and who knew what the reaction would be like back in soul society. Ichigo continued to watch as the girls were starting to get tired and it was starting to become obvious that Halibel and Neliel would have to used their released forms soon. But right when they were about to, Blue Yumichika had used his zanpakuto to ensnare them in some kind of blue branches. They couldn't move and now Ichigo was getting worried. He looked over and saw Rukia panting heavily along with Rangiku as they stared at the unmoved Blue Ikkaku in his Bankai. They looked exhausted from what Ichigo could tell. Even with their shikai's they stood no chance against a Bankai. Ichigo looked over to his girlfriend and saw her being teamed on by Blue Shuhei, Rangiku, Rukia and Omaeda. She had activated her Shunko not too long ago and was still having a difficult time handling the four.
"I can't just sit here and let them get killed like this." Ichigo said in frustration as he clenched his hands into fists.
"Then how about you show them and everyone else just what you can do now." Kyoka said as she manifested herself in front of Ichigo.
"I don't have a way to change into my soul reaper form though." Ichigo said to her in a concerned tone.
"With me, yeah you do." She touched his chest and pushed her arm into him. When she did, his soul form was forced out and he was now in his soul reaper gear. He stood there confused for a second before seeing his zanpakuto smile and motion her head to the battle. Ichigo smirked and nodded to her before disappearing in a shunpo. Kyoka was in the middle of fading back into Ichigo's mind, but before she did, she saw both Orihime and Tatsuki staring in shock at her. "Surprise? I guess." she said right before she faded completely.
Back above, the impostors were getting ready to finish the five, until they felt a strange spirit energy completely crush them all. Before any of the impostors could do anything, a purple blur flew passed them and scooped up Yoruichi. The blur moved to Yumichika and sliced through the branches, releasing the two arrancar beauties. The blur's final stop was in front of Blue Ikkaku. Everyone stopped and stared at the head of orange as he stood there on solidified air and held Yoruichi with one arm while the other had a zanpakuto. The girls couldn't stop staring as the strangely dressed soul reaper was Ichigo.
"Well this is definitely not the way I wanted to get back in the game, but." He set Yoruichi down on solid air and kissed her on the forehead. He pointed his blade to the impostors and smirked at them. "You guys ruined our date and hurt my girlfriend, and that's gonna cost ya."
Blue Ikkaku was grinning madly as he twirled his huge Bankai in the air. "Don't know how you got your powers back Ichigo, but I'm gonna enjoy killing y-" Before he could finish his sentence, Ichigo shocked everyone by firing a Sokatsui right into Blue Ikkaku's chest. The blast went clean through the impostors chest and he turned into dust. Everyone was completely shocked when he did that and the impostors started to back away.
"Well." Ichigo started as he looked back to the rest of the impostors and smiled to them. "Who's next?"
The impostors wasted no time opening a senkaimon and retreating back to wherever they were stationed at in the soul society. Ichigo chuckled under his breath and sheathed his blade before turning to the girls. They were staring at him with wide eyes and he couldn't help but smile at them. After sheathing his sword in its place and covering it with his coat, Ichigo smirked at them and flashed back to his downed body. Orihime and Tatsuki had already made sure regular people didn't try to call an ambulance on him by saying he passed out and was alright. When he flashed in front of them, they were initially startled but calmed down when Ichigo smiled to them.
"Well you two." He started with a grin as he crossed his arms. "I know ya'll care about me deeply, but I'm gonna need my body back now."
Both Orihime and Tatsuki blushed madly as they moved his body to him. He returned into it and stretched himself out before the rest of the girls showed up.
"Ichigo." Rukia started in an upset tone as she walked up to him.
"Hey Rukia. Long time, no see, huh." Ichigo said in an upbeat tone.
Rukia stopped in front of him and seethed for a moment before punching him in the face.
"OW! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR, DAMMIT!?" Ichigo shouted at her.
"THAT WAS FOR FOOLING US INTO THINKING YOU WERE STILL NORMAL!" She shouted right back to him.
Suddenly and without warning, Neliel jumped over to him and hugged him tightly. "And this is my way of saying hi, Ichigo!" She yelled out as she squeezed hard around his neck.
Yoruichi noticed that Ichigo wasn't forcing her impressive breast off of him and flashed in between the two. She separated them and placed her elbow on his shoulder.
"Just for disclosure ladies." She started in a serious tone. "Ichigo is mine, not yours."
The other girls started to get a little heated at what the goddess of flash just declared. They all glared at her and her devious grin while Ichigo simply smiled and chuckled under his breath so they couldn't hear him. Before they could all get into the whole 'Ichigo is mine' debate, the other girls realized that there was still one unanswered question that needed to be addressed right now. They all stopped their arguing and turned to Ichigo. He looked at them with a grin and figured out what they were about to ask him, so he held up his hand and pointed behind them. They turned and went wide eyed in shock as they saw the green haired girl standing there smiling at them.
"Everyone." Ichigo started, getting their attention as Kyoka walked over and stood next to Ichigo. "This is my new zanpakuto that I got almost two weeks ago. This is Kyoka Suigetsu."
Other than Yoruichi who already knew, the other girls froze at hearing the name of the zanpakuto spirit standing right next to the teen. And what makes it worse for them, they had even more competition.
