Ichigo sighed. He had almost wishing that Nel was the one coming with. Key word, "almost". The reason that he wasn't wishing for it, was that he didn't feel up to fending off her advances. Now, however he had to try and hide his crush from said crush, while traveling with him. Just a little difficult, if you didn't add on to it that his crush was not human, and more than likely would be able to smell his arousal. Sometimes, he hated the fact that he was a guy, but then he wouldn't be gay, if he was a girl.
Ulquiorra squashed the smirk that wanted to make its way onto his face, when he felt the resigned acceptance and the small hope that Ichigo felt when he learned that Ulquiorra was going with him. He tried to keep his anticipation down, so that he didn't tip his hand to early. Ulquiorra know that Ichigo liked him, but he wanted to know what he meant to him before he decided about telling him. Plans about talking to Ichigo aside, Ulquiorra was coming mostly because he wanted to know if it was really Ry, and if it was, why he was contacting people to take him away, when he should be safe and well cared for. He was nervous that he might have to reveal his real name.
Urahara used his ever present fan to hide the smirk that formed on his face in response to their actions. He coughed to get their attentions and said, "Ichigo, Ulquiorra will be your way to and from England. He will also be your bodyguard incase you run into trouble that you can't deal with. Ulquiorra, you remember where you are suppose to go right?" At the Hallow's grunt, he continued, "Now, I know that you may want to find him right away, but if I would suggest waiting to observe the situation. I will see you when you get back." Urahara used flash-step to leave the training room.

Ulquiorra walked into to the house that they were using pissed off for some reason. That in and of itself was not surprising. It was the black haired teen that Ulquiorra was holding almost gently that was surprising. Ichigo, as the son of a doctor, noticed the signs of abuse that the wizarding world seemed to willfully ignore. Ichigo stood up as the smell of blood reached him. "Ulquiorra, put him on the bed in the guest bedroom. Try to get him out of his clothes without hurting him. I need to be able to see the full extent of his injuries. As I am treating him, I need to know how you found him, and if possible, how he was hurt." Ichigo ordered as he went to the bathroom to get his first aid kit. When he came back, he stopped and wondered, How is this kid not dead yet?!.
