Ultrabross's Vision

CHP32: Found

Back against the wall she reviewed the information given trying to make since of it. No matter which way she tried thinking and or solving the puzzle putting the pieces together was difficult. She wondered if maybe it was better she didn't know, after all in time that would change. For the moment there were orders she had to follow and was fine with that. The scattered pieces would fall in place and a clear picture would be painted soon.

"Feyaglia, so glad I reached you in time," An assistant to Ultrabross leaned over out of breath, "Our lord requested you locate and bring the vampire back here to the stronghold. Just moments ago he decided to commence with phase two and is putting all units on alert as we speak.

"I recently spoke with him why didn't he tell me then?"

"As I said he made this decision just a moment ago and wants Moka here. Besides the shinigami and Moka you were told everyone else that got in the way was to be killed right, which is still true for the most part. Only change is the boy Aono Tsukune. Our lord is convinced things surrounding Moka won't go down smoothly as originally thought and having him around would work in our favor. When his service becomes useless he will be terminated."

"Strange for master to make so many sudden changes it isn't the way he does things. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though, I know how eager he's been to see his latest plans go through. It'll be great won't it, his rule spreading beyond Kinascer," Feyaglia faced the opposite way stepping out over a small platform connected to the teleportation system, "Be back soon as I can wish me luck."

With that she was gone in a flash of blue light. The other woman stood for a couple moments taking off down the hall passed the numerous torches over the walls in route to his workspace, "It is done my lord I told Feyaglia everything she needed to know. Is there anything else I can help with before turning in for the night?"

"Yes there is one thing. Go down to maintenance and find unit eight, inform them another round of hollows will be sent to Karakura town for the first time."

"Karakura Town?"

"It's the home town to the death god of interest; not only that but more so than any other town in the human world has the most hollow sightings. After you've done that find Ulquiorra and have him heighten security and I want him and his unit on guard duty for the next couple hours over the fortress." Ultrabross informed.

"Understood I'll take care of that right away."

Moka did what she could keeping pace with the two out in front lacking speed and flight capability, instead moving slowly hoping they'd come to a stop at some point. Morrigan led the way with an aggravated Ichigo trailing close behind. How long did she plan on persisting with a game of chase? He was tired of it and longed for the moment he got his hands on her, "Hey when you gonna stop running?! Stop acting like a coward and get back here and fight I'm sick of playing cat and mouse!" Ichigo expressed picking up his pace. The succubus grinned loving that she was getting under his skin.

"Come now Ichigo you know without the chase a battle lacks fire. Besides this can serve as our warm up, if you want it to end quit bitching and catch me." She stuck her tongue out at him resulting in a weird expression from Ichigo.

Having enough of her antics Ichigo blasted out in front grabbing her wrist with his free hand, "Enough of this if you came here to fight then let's get down with it and stop all this nonsense. Still not sure why you're here and think things will be any different than last time. Before we get into any of that I want you to answer something."

Morrigan pulled her wrist from his grasp, "See that wasn't so hard, you could have tagged me from the beginning had you chose to. I think you enjoyed chasing after me didn't you?"

"Think what you want. I have questions I want answered and you're going to give them. If from the beginning your plan was to kill me than why didn't you do it? All those weeks I spent at Youkai academy you must have had tens of hundreds of opportunities to make your move when my back was turned. Hell you could have done it while I was asleep after all dreams are a succubi's specialty isn't it? Your actions up to this point make no sense if your plan was to assassinate me. Sure maybe you're a competitor and would rather enjoy the thrill off battle and eliminate me that way but still..."

Morrigan snickered, a finger to her lips, "You've really thought this out haven't you. It's pointless really cause I don't and won't give answers free of charge, give and receive is how I see it. Have anything for me Kurosaki?"

"I don't. If you aren't interested in talking than don't, never expected you would anyway. I'll just beat the hell out of you and get them that way. One last thing before we start. You coming after me, was that truly it or is it deeper than that? Are you an enemy to the Gotei Thirteen and have something to do with the hollows that were lurking back at the Youkai realm?"

"Hollows? Can't say I follow." Morrigan took her eyes off him throwing her hair back.

Morrigan knew more than she was letting on, it was obvious to him by the look in her eyes. How much she knew he was uncertain but intended to find out by any means necessary. Getting rough with ladies wasn't something he was fond of but with her had no choice no matter how beautiful and innocent she appeared. From afar Moka watched figuring they were in the middle of a conversation but couldn't make out what was being said.

"Has either side thrown a punch, did Ichigo pound her into the ground yet?! Oh the thought of not knowing is eating me from the inside out!" Ich/Kon placed both hands over his head.

"You're an idiot look for yourself they're just staring each other down. They were talking but I don't know what about. By the way how did you get up here?" The vampire looked over her shoulder.

Moka frowned seeing Ichi/Kon peering down at her butt, drool hanging from his mouth, "Idiot and pervert, you sure have the whole package dontcha. Do anything else but look and I swear I'll break those hands of yours, don't try me."

"My hands haha, don't you mean Ichigo's? He wouldn't be too happy if you were to break a single bone in his body I can only imagine what he'd do. Ichigo can be so unpredictable I'd almost feel sorry for you." Ichi/Kon tried putting fear in Moka.

She rolled her eyes focusing back on Moorigan and Ichigo, "Just remember what I said, keep your hands to yourself and we won't have problems."

In some ways he reminded her of a certain werewolf but worse. She was intent on ignoring him the entire time if at all possible. Ichigo hovered in place lowering his Zanpakuto waiting for Morrigan to say something or make a move but got nothing, "At the very least explain why you targeted me. Was it predetermined or was it something you decided over time? If we're going to fight at the very least I want to know why."

"Sorry can't tell you that either."

"Can't or won't? The way you talk suggests you're working under someone am I correct? Hhhmm forget I asked, you aren't answering questions. Guess that leaves us with one thing to do," Ichigo's grip over his blade tightened the wind picking up in the area, "Hate to do this without knowing why but you've given me no choice."

"About time literally was getting bored with all the talk. You'll find the answer to your questions in time. Whether it's too late or not well…"

Ichigo questioned if the last part of the comment had true meaning or was used to get inside his head again. There was almost nothing he would put passed her, she said and did things to benefit her no matter if true or false. Wings extended both ways she blitzed him directly, Ichigo grabbing her fist but knocked out of the air by her left wing. He caught himself before making contact with the concrete surface below.

The outer edges of her wings morphed into blades continuing as the aggressor. Due to the battleground Ichigo knew using Getsuga Tensho was out of the question. Far too many buildings and people around that could be at risk for injury or worse. If need be he'd first have to lead her away from the city over the river where no one would be in jeopardy. He eluded her next attempt kicking her forty yards opposite of him. Like he had moments before she steadily kept herself from colliding with the ground.

"Oh why the long face don't tell me you aren't enjoying this," Morrigan stuck her lower lip out disappointed with the expression on his face, "You had so much more fire in those eyes of yours our last fight, don't tell me you're going soft on me. Give it to me Ichigo I want that same grit and determination as before!"

The succubus blitzed slashing away at Ichigo with her bladed wings most her attempts blocked using his Zanpakuto. Trying to catch him off guard with a kick failed, Ichigo grabbing hold of her ankle punching her off balance losing her footing and falling to the ground ten feet away. Ichigo casually walked toward her with his blade held over his shoulder, "Honestly I was kinda in the middle of something when you randomly showed up. I've got a job to complete so get lost and come back at a time convenient to me."

Ichigo remembered speaking similar words to a woman that appeared not long ago by the name Feyaglia. Was it possible Morrigan was connected with the woman somehow, perhaps working for the same organization? It was worth asking but was positive Morrigan wouldn't give an answer so didn't bother doing so.

"Forget about whatever you had on the agenda I'm first on your to do list," Morrigan pushed off the ground dusting off, "What will it take for you to get into this? Look at you just standing there without a care in the world, disgusting!" The succubus hissed.

"You should consider yourself before directing that word at anyone else, who the hell other than you strips all the way down during battle?! You've left me with bad imagery ever since."

"Bad imagery don't kid yourself, you loved what you saw. You wanted to ravage every inch of my body I could see it in your eyes, even now as you think back your exc…"

"Shut up!" Ichigo blurted cutting her off, "You turned my friends against me leading me to believe you in fact killed Tsukune, which I now know was a lie. Difference between now and then I had a reason to fight. Evil and deluded as you are, you're still a woman. I've been taught not to lay my hands on girls, only if necessary will I make exceptions. I fight to protect and continuing this fight with you is meaningless without reason."

Morrigan applauded him clapping, "Spoken like a good boy but that alone doesn't win battles I'm afraid. You want a reason to fight huh well then I'll give you one," Morrigan took off into the air bypassing him at high velocity, "Where are you Akashiya?" The succubus whistled.

"Dammit she's going after Moka!" Ichigo took off into the air after her.

Slightly gazing over her shoulder Morrigan grinned at the look on Ichigo's face. It was similar to the look he had that night during their first battle, "That was sure easier than I thought." She kept her eyes open spotting the vampire standing atop a roof. Her smile grew knowing it couldn't get easier than that. Morrigan was to Moka in seconds, grabbing and forcing her off the ledge by the hair. The vampire threw her legs back and forth screaming in a way Ichigo thought he'd never hear from her. Morrigan spun Moka around a couple times before launching her in a random direction.

Ichigo flew catching her in his free arm just before she collided with the side of a building, wrapping her arms around his neck for better support. Still standing over the roof Ichi/Kon backed out of Morrigan's view trying to avoid being her next potential victim, "See now why I told you to hide? Out in the open you will get in my way and serve as a handicap, I can't focus on the enemy and worry about you at the same time."

"Worry about me?" Moka questioned incapable of holding back a blush. Her cheeks turned rose red turning her head away from Ichigo hoping he didn't notice. The moment was similar to the night before, except Omote was in her place carried in those same arms but the feeling was the same.

"You and Kon," Ichigo corrected himself before she started thinking and potentially reviving the conversation from earlier which he wanted to avoid at all costs. He noticed Morrigan trailing them from behind, "If it's a fight you want than you've got it but leave everyone else out." Ichigo implied looking over his shoulder. Right away Morrigan slowed up, Ichigo looking for a safe location to drop Moka eyeing the closes street corner.

"Wouldn't someplace higher suffice, I mean with all the street muggers and what not." Moka complained as Ichigo set her down.

"You're a tough girl I imagine you can handle it, should have listened when I told you to find a place to hide in the first place. Defiance gets you nowhere." Ichigo groaned annoyed with the situation.

"S class vampire warriors don't run away and hide from battle. You probably aren't aware but I faced her once before and she may have taken it then but not this time. This is my opportunity for redemption and I won't have you or anyone else pushing me aside, I don't need protecting much as you might think! At the very least let me fight alongside you."

Ichigo shook his head, "Trust me when I tell you her strength is on a much larger scale than your own. I refuse to gang up on someone I can handle on my own so you can forget involving yourself. Go and find someplace to hang until this is over and I'd rather not ask again so do it fast."

There was a lot Moka wanted to say hating being treated like a child but knew she was in no position to talk. As a whole she and her friends were powerless doing anything against Ichigo when they believed he was responsible for Tsukune's death and her fight with Morrigan favored the succubus entirely, "Sure whatever you say…just finish her quickly." Moka groaned rolling her eyes.

Ichigo noticed the action but didn't care so said nothing, eyes and body facing Morrigan, "Have no clue what's behind your obsession for me and honestly I could care less, but when you harm others to get your way that's where my problem lies. You managed to escape our last fight with your life, I don't understand why you'd come back unless your power drastically changed which I don't sense a difference."

"Ever hear of hidden abilities Kurosaki? I'm sure you know all about that don't you? Instead of talking about it lets get this thing going, last time was fun and I hope for the same type results. I know you won't disappoint, oh and if you feel the fight is pointless and give little effort killing Moka and anyone else around would be quite some fun to motivate you." Morrigan smirked.

She and Ichigo took to the air together going on the attack right away. Morrigan was pleased with the increased speed and power through each and every one of his moves.

"Moka San is that you?!"

Her heart raced and without looking knew who the voice belonged to, it was Tsukune's! The instant she turned around she was surprised but not of Tsukune but who was with him, "Gin and Kurumu-chan, what in the world are they doing here." She murmured.

It was a surprise but a pleasant one. Happy as he was to see her Tsukune couldn't believe his eyes, instead of the Outer side as he expected to it was Ura-chan. Far as he knew he was the only one that showed the ability to awaken her so question was who or what did it and what did it mean.
