Ichigo was running to school. If he could catch Ishida before he had a chance to leave the class, he could have a shot at finding out what was going on. His thoughts turned to the pill in his pocket.
He wanted to use it straight away, but Urahara's warning was still ringing clearly in his head.
"This pill will temporarily completely mask your reiatsu, but, this it still a prototype so it is incredibly unstable. It could lose effect at any moment, so use it only when you absolutely have to…"
If he used it too soon, he would lose possibly his one golden opportunity to find out what was happening. With that thought, he increased bit back the urge to take it and quickened his pace.

Ichigo had never been good at controlling or sensing reiatsu, heck, to put it bluntly he was just plain lousy. But he had one good source of information, Inoue. Constantly part of the other girls' gossip, she knew a lot more about their classmates than he did. Orihime had recalled Ishida coming up in their conversations before and from there, Ichigo learned on when Ishida normally came to school.
Making a mental note to thank her later, he entered the empty classroom. He had roughly ten minutes before Ishida arrived. But the problem was, how was he going to get the truth? 5 minutes… soon Ishida would be within range to sense his barely-suppressed reiatsu. He buried his hand into in right pocket and brought out a smooth red pill.
"Well, here goes." He said flicking the pill into his mouth. Swallowing, he felt the pill travel down his throat, and when it reached his stomach… nothing happened. He blinked.
"Damn you Urahara-san. How am I supposed to tell if the goddamned pill is working?!" He let out a string of curses. But now, all he could do was wait…
