"Hello, lady Mukuro. I have a proposition for you and your coherts," Gin Ichimaru said as he bowed ever so slightly.
"Well, what is this proposition, shinigami?" Mukuro prompted.
"Well, Sousuke Aizen would like to enlist your forces in the fight against the Seireitei and in your case, Reikai," Ichimaru said, the smirk never leaving his face as if he knew he had the demons in the bag.
"Well, if Aizen wants me to join his cause, then Aizen, himself, should come a present the proposition. Not send his helper monkey, like a coward," Mukuro said coldly.
"I figured the ex-ruler of the Makai would have reacted in such a matter," another shinigami appeared from the shadows startling Hiei and Mukuro, who hadn't sensed him in the room at all.
"State your name, shinigami!" Mukuro growled, taking a stride away from her seat with her fists clenched.
"I am Sousuke Aizen and I have some information that would definitely be of your interest,"

"That's the hundredth time that I've pinned your sorry ass to the ground, brat," Yusuke stated with no interest as he started to walk away from Sayu, "Jeez, can I get a opponent that could at least last more than two minutes against me or something,"
Sayu growled lowly as she flung a slash of spirit energy which Yusuke merely side stepped as if it were nothing.
"You know you're going to need some better tricks than that, brat," Yusuke stated in a monotone voice.
"Feh. Bite me," Sayu retorting, knowing that Yusuke was right.
"Yo, Strawberry! You all rested up yet? It's your turn to take a beating!" Yusuke announced as a head of orange hair emerged from some random direction.
"I am not a strawberry!" Ichigo growled, knowing it was useless cause Yusuke was more hard headed than he was.
"Yusuke is having way too much fun with this training thing," Kurama said appearing behind Sayu.
"Oh shit!" Sayu leapt at least two feet in the air causing Yusuke to stop and laugh all at Sayu's expense.
"I'm really sorry, Sayu. I didn't mean to startle you like that," Kurama said sincerely while putting his hands up in defense.
"It's alright. You'd think I'd just get use to people sneaking up on me like that cause Urahara does that shit to me all the time," Sayu stated as her heart rate was returning back to normal.
"Did I just hear my name?"
"Holy fuck!" Sayu leapt about four feet this time causing Yusuke to stop mid fight and fall down from laughing so hard at the scene a couple feet away from them. Ichigo, on the other hand, wasn't expecting this and fell flat on his face.
"Old coot! How many times to I have to tell you! Stop sneaking up on me like that!" Sayu retorted angrily while glaring at an oblivious Urahara.
"Urahara! What brings you down here?" Kurama asked, worrying that something had gone terribly wrong in Karakura.
"Well, I came to see how Sayu was doing. You know her progress and all," Urahara turns to Sayu and starts ruffling her choppy locks, "and I see that your doing better than expected," Urahara said as Sayu smacked his hand away from her head.
"And?" Sayu added, sensing that Urahara had an entirely different reason for coming down here.
"And Renji and Chad will be joining your little training gala," he said quickly as Renji and Chad appeared behind him all ready to go.
"Yo, Ichigo, Yusuke, Kurama, and…..," Renji paused as his gaze met Sayu's.
"Sayori," Chad answered before Sayu could, "It's been a while,"
Sayu smiled slightly before responding, "Yeah, it has, hasn't it?"
"Just like old times, when me, you and Sayu used to kick asses," Ichigo chimed in recovering from his fall.
Sayu's frown returned as she noticed that Ichigo seemed to think that she wasn't pissed off at him anymore.
"Well, I'll leave you all to your training!" Urahara stated before taking his leave.
"Alright! Come on, Chad. We have some serious training to do!" Renji instructed as he started walking in a direction away from Kurama, Sayu, Yusuke, and Ichigo.
"Alright, strawberry! Let's continue!" Yusuke stated while pounding his fists together.
"I am not a strawberry!" Ichigo stated as he changed into his vizard form and charged at Yusuke.
"Sayu, let's go and work on your technique," Kurama instructed as he lightly pushed Sayu in another direction away from Yusuke and Ichigo and Renji and Chad.

"Ugh! Crap! Damn you!!! Crap! Crap! Crap! Break!! Break!! Damn it!" Yumichika screamed in exasperation, " I hate you!"
Matsumoto turned to look at Yumichika, "Shut up! What is your problem?"
"Fujikujaku's pissing me off. He's so snobby and bossy and he thinks that he is the best looking guy in the world! I don't think I can even exteriorize this creep, you know what? I wouldn't even exteriorize this creep, even if he begged me too," Yumichika retorted, completely frustrated.
"He's just like you. What are you talking about?" Matsumoto said while rolling her eyes, "Now my Haineko's a stupid, needy, moody slob. We're total opposites," she added.
"That's you to a T. I bet you look at pictures of yourself and say that 'I don't look like that at all'," Yumichika stated while rolling his eyes.
"Shut up and concentrate! Or I'll send you two back to the Soul Society!" Hitsugaya yelled with annoyance, "Geez, can't they talk to their swords more quietly or something,"
Ikkaku opened his eyes, unmoved by the commotion around him, 'The clouds are moving…,'
"Huh? You said something, Ikkaku?" Hitsugaya said thinking he said Ikkaku say something.
"No. It's nothing," Ikkaku replied sweeping that bad feeling his was getting away.
Three espadas and a new born arrancars appeared in the sky over where Hitsugaya and his team were training.
Yumichika looked up, immediately feeling the arrancar's spirit energy, "Arrancars? Aren't they a little early?"
"They're definitely early but we don't exactly have time to figure out why their here," Hitsugaya state as he popped out of his gigai.
