"DAMMIT!" I roared. "I AM SO BORED!" I threw a roll of bandages that were next to my bed at the dead asleep Ikkaku. "Hey, wake up, Pinball-Head." I glared at the baldy who immediately jumped up, yelling how he wasn't bald, and how I should say that to his face. "Fine. Baldy baldy baldy baldy baldy. Happy?" He was starting to get pissed.

"DAMMIT! STOP CALLING ME BALDY!" I looked up as the door open.

"Could you stop yelling so much? You're disturbing the others." Ikkaku's head whipped around and we both sweat dropped when we saw Captain Unohana.

" W-we're sorry." I bowed and pushed my bald friend's head down, too. Once the captain of squad 4 left, I flash-stepped out of the room.

"DAMMIT! I CAN BOW ON MY OWN!" Ikkaku was sprinting after me. I held a finger up to my lips.

"Shut up!" I hissed. "Unless you want Captain Unohana to get mad at you!" As soon as we were outside, I turned around. "Bakudo 63: Sajō Sabaku!" The third seat of squad 11 was completely wrapped in chains.

"Since when were you any good at kido?"

"Since I was in the Academy. I got the top grade in kido. I just have a hard time remembering them." Ikkaku sweat dropped. "Anyway, I'm bored, so I'm going to go find the Ryoka. So don't follow me." I stuck out my tongue and leaped onto the wall, and dashed towards the strong spiritual pressure I felt.

"Wait!" Of course, by now, I was too far away to hear him, but Ikkaku called out a warning to me. "Ichigo is really strong!"

"Found you~!" I trilled in a sing-song voice. The three guys that I was tracking turned around.

"GYAH! 3RD SEAT ICHINOSE! S-S-SO SORRY!" The shortest one kept bowing.

"Eh, Hanatarou-san? What are you doing?" I tilted my head slightly. "Oh well, since you're here, can you help me?" I looked at him as I kicked the ugly guy in the face.

"WHAT THE HELL, YOU BRAT!"

"Bakudo 61: Rikujokoro" Six beams of energy slammed into him. "Wow, it feels so weird using kido again."

"Hey! What are you doing?" The carrot-top yelled at me. "I really don't want to fight you!"

"I was ordered to find and arrest the Ryoka. Orders are orders." I shrugged. "So, let's dance!" I pulled my sword out of my sheathe. "Lash out, Kyofu no Genso!" Once again, I felt black light swallow me. I looked to my side and saw Kyofu(Your nickname for your zanpaku-to). "Kyofu, what are you doing?" I had to crane my neck because of the 2' 1" height difference.

"I can't let you fight while you're hurt, Itami-sama." He smiled at me, and I glared at him, which he returned, red eyes and sea-green eyes challenging each other.

"I don't need any help! And you could at least materialize a bit shorter!"

"Or maybe you could grow taller."

"Who is that?" I whipped my head around and glared at carrot-top.

"Have you never met your zanpaku-to, carrot-top?" I sneered at him.

"My name is Ichigo! And yes, I have met my zanpaku-to, shorty." I felt an elbow rest on my head.

"Don't let him bother you, Itami-sama. Such a lowlife does not deserve to be in your presence."

"Get. Off. Of. My. HEAD! AND GO BACK TO YOUR SWORD FORM!" I yelled at him. Kyofu sighed and disappeared in a flurry of blackness, being replaced by a large scythe. "So annoying. I hate your ability to materialize." I looked at the others, who were gawking. "Anyway, let's get this show on the road." I ran towards the one named Ichigo, who pulled his sword from his back, and swung at him. He easily blocked me.

"Tch!" I kept swinging, and started to feel weak. I forgot that I still hadn't completely recovered, and I felt a little bit of blood seep through my bandages.

"Getsuga Tensho!" A huge blast of energy was flying towards me.

"Zankokuna Kaze!" I slashed at the air in front of me, creating a huge whirlwind to block it. But unlike the last guy, Zankokuna Kaze was completely overpowered, and I was hit head on by the blast. "D-dammit! Why are you Ryoka so strong?" I coughed up some blood.

"Eh? Who did you fight before?" Ichigo looked confused.

"Some big guy." I coughed again.

"Hanataro! Help her!" Hanataro-san ran over and started healing me.

"Uwah, it looks like she was already badly injured when you fought her, Ichigo-san!" Ichigo looked shocked.

"Then why?"

"Why do you care so much? I'm the enemy!" I pushed Hanataro-san away and got up. "I'm your enemy, so you shouldn't protect me! That's not right!"

"I, I just want to protect everyone." I snorted.

"Good luck with that. In battle, sometimes sacrifices are necessary." I sighed. "You aren't the only one who has that wish-"

"ITAMI-CHAN!"

"Matsumoto-san?" I turned towards my busty blonde friend.

"Itami-chan! What happened to you-" Then she noticed the Ryoka. "Why did you go and fight the Ryoka before you finished recovering?"

"I was bored." Everyone sweat dropped. "I'm fine, Matsumoto-san. Go and finish your work before the Captain gets mad."

"No, I am taking you back to Squad 4 right now!" Matsumoto grabbed me and flash-stepped towards the 4th Squad's barracks.

"Uwah, Matsumoto-san, you're such a killjoy!" We both laughed as Matsumoto let me down. "Thanks for the help!" I waved as she flash-stepped away.

"Where have you been, Itami-san?" I turned around and saw the captain of Squad 4.

"Um..."
