Ichigo sighed, running his hands slowly through his hair as he stared down at the cat with piercing hazel eyes.

"Yoruichi" he muttered, his hand descending from his hair to settle onto the cats lithe body "do, do you really want to know?" he questioned as the cat stared up at him with eyes glinting with steel "tell me Ichigo" oh she knew this was a big secret, how could it not be if his body was so tense. Shifting to her human form silently and standing up prompting him to do so as well as she waited patiently "I'm from the future" he admitted plainly to her steadily contorting face "don't believe me, well, here" gathering his reiatsu he channelled his memories into it, funnelling his relevant synapses down his arm at a steady pace "touch my hand" he raised it to waist level, and held the now glowing orb up to her "remember" he muttered quietly as she reached a mocha skinned arm forward to grasp at the orb.

It was then, she froze.

Images of times forgotten flashed through her head.

Joyful.

Sadness.

Death.

Loss.

Despair.

And then came the final one.

Love.

She looked up at the orange haired shinigami who gazed back down with a loving expression "I-Ichi" she stuttered as he gave a small, almost unnoticeable smile "welcome to the past, Yoru chan" she lunged forward into his chest, head pressed against his shoulder as she sobbed.

"a second chance!" she thought with joy as she looked up, tearful eyes boring into Ichigo's own "how?" she questioned, hiccupping slightly as she rubbed her eyes dry on his shinigami robe "how is this possible?!" she gripped his robe pulling herself up to his eye level "how!" he smirked lightly and gripped her by the hips gently, keeping her aloft "when, were safely alone ok?" he whispered descending on her mouth with all the vigour of a hungry lover "hai, just tell me at some point ok?" Ichigo nodded and pulled away to rest his forehead against hers "of course, you and everyone else, ok, princess?" he grunted as she wrapped her legs around him, keeping him close "bed, now" she growled in his ear as he chuckled and leaned back, pulling them onto the bed covers "no covers?" he questioned teasingly as she smirked "not as long I'm with you" she replied crawling up his chest and pecking him on the lips. "Why're you smirking?" she asked drawing away and staring at him "oh no, just the fact that when somebody comes in they'll see you naked" she blushed and rolled over to his side, pressing herself against his body whilst pulling the quilt over them "better?" she asked as his smirk turned soft "yeah" stealing one last kiss she closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep, ignoring Ichigo's shifting out of the bed "probably going to the toilet" she thought closing her eyes.

Dream

Crunch!

She spun on her heel and used a knife strike to thrust her left forearm into the head of an arrancar up to the elbow "Nel!" she screamed at the vasto lord who was slowly being overwhelmed "Yoruichi!" she heard a returning scream as a blinding pink light obliterated several hundred adversaries at once "fuck!" she swore bending backwards under the beam of deadly energy that would have vaporized her head.

"You alright?" the mocha skinned woman collapsed to her knees in exhaustion "yeah, just tired" she held a hand to her chest and took deep breaths through her nose "get ready!" Nel suddenly said, her pesquira alerting her to over a dozen gillan class arrancar "hah!" throwing herself up on burning legs she stood back to back to the green haired espada who had a solemn expression "were not going to make it out of here" Nel whispered as Yoruichi shook her head "no, I won't stop until I see Ichi" holding her hand out to her side she leapt into the air "SHUNKO!" the attack whittled the numbers, but more returned "the only way we can get out of this is if we can open a garganta".

Yoruichi nodded at Nel's proclamation "how long" she uttered as Nel seemed to think for a second, automatically ducking under the blow of a speeding hollow "10 seconds, get me 10 seconds and I can do it" Yoruichi nodded, "done" she disappeared in a 'BOOM' as her flash step obliterated the sound barrier.

Blood flying was the result.

"hn!" Yoruichi corkscrewed over a hollows jab and tore its mask of its face, using the leverage to ground herself allowing her to take off again, straight through another hollow with her reiatsu charged fists "YEARGH!" charging a massive amount of her energy into her left fist she kicked off of the sand and span horizontally in midair "NEL!" she screamed, seeing the garganta fully open, pressing her advantage in speed she kicked a plume of dust up behind her, blinding the charging horde as she hooked an arm around Nel's midriff, leaping toward the swirling black portal. She grinned in relief whilst throwing her hand back.

"SHUNKO!"

And the world bled into white.

End

"GAH!" eyes snapping open she sat up with a shout which woke Ichigo who sat up and pulled her to his chest "shh, just a nightmare I'm guessing?" he asked gently kissing the top of her head slowly "y-yeah" she muttered, shaking her head free of the memories "what's the time?" the cat woman muttered "6AM" Ichigo said quietly as he quickly glanced over at the digital clock "yeah" he thought "Ichi kun" he raised an eyebrow and looked down at her as she looked backwards over her right shoulder "when, when they betrayed us, you swore revenge, are you still going to?" she probed gently as he nodded, his features contorting into a minor snarl "they betrayed us Yoru chan, they won't get away with it this time" Yoruichi nodded with a smile "and we'll stick by you, no matter what" Ichigo chuckled "don't worry, I have a plan" Yoruichi giggled "care to share?" she asked as he smirked "not yet, when we get back to Urahara's then we talk" she nodded "so, the plan right now?" Ichigo smirked and shook his head "just let me handle everything" she sighed and leaned backwards into his chest "you don't have to handle everything yourself you know" Ichigo chuckled "don't worry, I'm not, I've got her working on the inside" Yoruichi giggled "and let me guess, you'll have her out of soul society soon enough" Ichigo smirked "you read my mind, now, let's get going, ne?"

Soon enough everybody was up, and, after a wash in the shower Yoruichi and Ichigo were seated downstairs, Yoruichi seated in her cat form in the shinigami's lap.

"Ok Yoru chan, let's go and announce our presence, ne?" Yoruichi smirked and nodded much to the befuddlement of the others "c'mon" standing up he strode out of the compound along with the confused group "where are we going, Kurosaki kun?" Orihime asked, Ichigo didn't react, but spoke anyway "to show our power" he replied simply as they came off a side path and began down to the tall white towers of soul society before large white walls of sekiseki materialised and dropped from above, crushing against the ground with a loud.

BOOM!

It was then one more shadow began to enlarge, forcing them to look up at the sun that hovered high in the sky.

The gate guard Jidanbo stood defiantly in front if the gate, showing no fear of those in front of him "who are you that seeks passage into soul society!" he bellowed at the group whilst Yoruichi hopped off of his shoulder and backed up to paw the front line of their group that stood around 30 feet behind the time travelling shinigami "the names Ichigo Kurosaki" he yelled as Jidanbo smirked and drew his axe from inside his coat, raising it hundreds of feet above his head making it glint in the light "Nobody in the last 300 years has defeated me, and neither shall you!"bringing the axe down with deadly precision it clattered against the lightning fast draw of Zangetsu "open the gate" Ichigo uttered as Jidanbo's eye lightly twitched "you will now bear witness to my ultimate attack!" he reached into his coat, and once again drew an axe. Holding the pair of axes he raised them "JIDANBO TEN THOUSAND HIT FESTIVAL!" bringing both axes down it kicked up a plume of dust that blocked everyone's view, Jidanbo, feeling the resistance though carried on.

"1, 2, 3!" he laughed bringing the cleavers down each time causing a light tremor with his raw power.

"4, 5, 6!" tensing he used leverage and extended his arm from its pivot, pouring all the stored kinetic energy into the seemingly immovable invader "7, uh, what came after, ah I don't know, oh yeah!" he swung again.

"5, 7, 4, 8!" the giant brought his arms back and stared down through the dust "getsuga, TENSHO!" a beautiful crescent wave of cutting energy shot out of the cloud severing the axes between the handle and blade.

Jidanbo stared down at the orange haired teen in shock "open the gate" the giant smiled and nodded "for one such as you, of course!" Ichigo smirked "don't worry, I'll replace your axes" In the midst of opening the gate Jidanbo gained tears of manliness.

"SO KIND!" he cried, forcing the gate above his head, revealing a silver haired fox like man who grinned at them "3rd squad captain Ichimaru!" Jidanbo whispered fearfully as the man turned an eyeless gaze on him

"Why'd ya open the gate Jidanbo?" Gin questioned as if the man was beneath him "they defeated me, so they are allowed in".

Gin just chuckled.

"No, you see, when a gate guard is defeated, he doesn't let them in" Gin's chuckle turned sinister.

"He dies".

Quick as lightning Gin's zanpaktou was pointed at the giant "shoot to kill, Shinso!" with a cry of its release phrase the zanpaktou extended at incredible speeds, cutting through the air toward the giant, aiming straight for the throat.

It would have killed him.

Had Ichigo not intervened and batted the sword away "see ya Ichi chan" Ichigo growled at Gins mocking parting words as the gate dropped causing another tremor to shake the area. "Ok, now we use the cannon" Orihime tapped him on the shoulder "uhm, Kurosaki kun why not just wait for a while to use the cannon and let the attention settle down?" Ichigo chuckled under his breath "because, they're preparing right now, for a second attack, better to hit them when they're preparing than when they're actually prepared" Orihime nodded and fell silent.

They spend the next 10 minutes jogging back to the house before they burst into the front door startling the bandaged woman who narrowed her eyes "where've you been?" she grunted standing as Ichigo shrugged "doesn't matter, is the cannon ready?" he questioned as she nodded hesitantly "yes, all the kido have been placed, the trajectory and speed have been set" Ichigo nodded "well were losing time that we could be using so let's go" Kukakku nodded while the rest of the group followed her down the nearest hallway toward the stack that would act as the cannon for their reiatsu cannonball.

"Kid, hold this!" Kukakku the reiatsu medium to Ichigo who casually caught it and charged his immense energy into it as they entered the stack, filling the room with blue swirling energy "Kaku chan, step out of the stack" Ichigo ordered as Kukakku gained a tick at the nickname but stepped out of the stack anyway "now, everyone, focus" charging his energy into the ball a blue shield formed around the group of soon to be invaders "Ishida, more reiatsu" Ichigo commanded feeling the lack of the boys reiatsu charging through the medium.

Startled Ishida focused a moderate amount of reiatsu through the ball solidifying the barrier into a deep royal blue "Kukakku, now!" Kukakku nodded and thrust her hands against the seals carved against her feet blue waves of her own energy pouring into the now bright vermillion seals "good luck!" she shouted as a shockwave blew through the area, almost forcing Kukakku off of her feet but she leaned into it meaning she only skidded back a few feet.

"You'll need it".

Chapter End

Sooner than expected eh, well, I've had time and inspiration so that's why it's so early.

As you can see I've introduced Yoruichi into the pairing and started Ichigo's 'plans', I'm going to put up a poll later for the amount of women in the pairings 4 at the least 6 at the most.

But that's all for now, so.

See Ya!
