Normal POV:

"Hey." Amber said as she walked into the meeting room and sat on a chair. She tugged on her clothes every now and then as it was waaay hotter in a Shihakusho than in the Stealth Force Uniform. Yoruichi gave a small meow and sat on her lap. "What a cute little cat!" Hinamori smiled and lifted Yorucihi up in the air, spinning her around a little and passing her back to Amber. Renji suddenly came into the room and Amber's smile disappeared. Yoruichi gave a low purr and curled into Amber's lap. "What's with the cat?" "I found it while I was out and it was injured." She replied plainly. "Hina was worried about you." Renji said, worry lacing his voice. Amber was also sort of his sister since Hina always brought her over to hang out with them. He knew she was hiding something but decided not to pressure her with questions. "What's with all the tension in- oh, Amber-chan! You're back!" Rangiku-san grinned at her. "I'm just here for the meeting. I'll be heading out again afterwards." Amber said quietly. "O-Oh...I see..."

The tension in the room returned. Everyone apparently knew that they shouldn't press Amber for information. Firstly, she would say it's private and when you annoy her too much about the topic, you could actually die. Before long everyone had gathered. All the Vice-Captains sat awkwardly silently. Usually they would be louder than today. "Umm... Has anyone seen Aizen Taichou lately?" Hinamori asked, looking down at her lap. "I haven't been seeing him lately and when I do see him, he seems to be busy and doesn't tell me what's going on..." She started to sob and Rangiku stroked her back. "Everything's going to be okay, just give the matter some time." Amber gave her a warm smile. The meeting went on and on about the ryoka but unknown to the others, Amber would be their enemy.

Ichigo's POV:

Can't...concentrate! "NO, ICHIGO-DONO. IT'S 'AAHHHHH' NOT 'OOOOH'" The two brothers yelled at me again. WHY CAN'T I GET THIS RIGHT? They sighed and gave me some time to practise alone while they checked on the others. When they got back to me...well, my Reiatsu didn't even flow out properly! "THIS IS AWFUL!" "ABSOLUTELY!" "WHAT IS THAT YOU MADE?" "I CANNOT HELP BUT THINK YOU HAVE-" The brothers were cut off when a kunai suddenly came straight at them, knocking their hats off their heads and pinning it to the wall. "A-A-A-AMBER-DONO!" They both stammered before bowing deeply. "Ichigo-kun, do you need any help?" I nodded immediately. I bet Amber could explain this properly! "Umm...A-Amber?" I suddenly muttered. She was... TAKING OFF HER CLOTHES. WHAT DO I DO? TURN AWAY? WALK AWAY? WAIT THERE? "A-Amber! P-Please don't st-" I stopped myself right before I could say the word. There were clothes underneath the usual Shinigami clothes that she was wearing. It was the sleeveless and backless thing she was wearing earlier.

"Please don't what?" "N-Nothing!" I straightened up even though her tone wasn't threatening at all. "Boss, dinner's ready!" Ganju's friend shouted as he came in. I was exhausted and the thought of food made my stomach grumble. "You guys go ahead and eat. I'll stay and practise with Ichigo." Amber said as she neatly folded her Shinigami clothes. Inoue, Chad, Ishida and Ganju quickly nodded and dashed out the room as if scared of her presence. "Hang on a sec." Amber said as she took out a small ball from her pocket. She pressed a button on top and a few square shaped things appeared. She kept the ball back in her pocket and tapped a square which was floating in mid-air. That's when I noticed that there were pictures of food that flashed around the room. "Just tap what you like." She grinned at me as she tapped an ebi bento picture. I awkwardly tapped Omu Rice since that was closest to me. The pictures and square icons suddenly disappeared.

"Wait for it..." She smiled. Suddenly, two black orbs appeared on the floor. It submerged halfway into the floor before disappearing, revealing my Omu Rice and her bento. "W-Wha... THAT WAS AWESOME!" I grinned at her as the aroma of food hit me. "Don't tell the others. This is actually food from the Kuchiki House. I saved some of them in my time-space orbs so I can replicate them now." She smiled again before we both started eating. "Thish tahstes ahmazhing!" I said while chewing. IT WAS WAY BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD FOR LUNCH. Before long I was full. "Thanks for the food Amber." I grinned as I pat my stomach. "You want to start training now?" "Yeah!" I readily got up, watching the bowls and plates disappear into thin air. I held the ball in my hands again. "What do I do?" I asked. "Can you show me how much Reiatsu you can exert first? If you can at least do that then this will be easier." I did as I was told and wisps of reiatsu came out, making an irregular shape around me before vanishing.

"First, you have to learn how to control your reiatsu." She held the orb as well, her fingers crossing slightly over mine. "Imagine a glass of water. That water is flowing through the glass." I imagined the water as I closed my eyes. "Now, think of the water surrounding the glass." I felt a cold sensation run through me. "The water isn't all over the place, it should be calm and steady. Imagine that." The cold sensation soon faded. "You can open your eyes now." I slowly opened my eyes and saw a perfectly shaped shell enveloping me and Amber. "You did it!" She gave me a warm smile. "I DID IT!" I shouted in happiness. Her blue eyes suddenly widened. "I-Ichigo don't lose your focus we'll-" I felt myself suddenly being lifted off the ground. "Bakudo no #81: Danku" I landed with a thud on the floor but was completely safe.

I opened my eyes and found a huge transparent, rectangular wall separating us from where we had set up an orb earlier. "Amber? Are you okay?" I asked her as soon as I saw her. She nodded and swept dust off her clothes as the wall disappeared. "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE RUCKUS DOWN THERE?" Kuukaku-san suddenly barged into the room. I helped Amber up to her feet but I tripped over one of the floorboards and fell on top of her in an extremely awkward position. SHIT. WHAT DO I DO? I WANT TO GET OFF BUT I CAN'T MOVE! "I-Ichigo.." Amber blushed a deep red underneath me. "Could you please get off?" She asked politely even though she was trembling a little at how much contact we were having. "ARE YOU TRYING TO RAPE HER IN MY HOUSE? AND IN FRONT OF ME?" "Ichigo-kun just tripped, Kuukaku-san." Amber said as she gently pushed me upwards.

Kuukaku-san gave us a glare before leaving us again. "Ichigo-kun, you're sweating a lot. Is this training tiring you out?" Amber asked as her deep blue eyes stared into my brown ones. "Ichigo?" "O-Oh, yeah I'm fine." SHIT. I WAS STARING AT HER. Her hand suddenly cupped my cheek. "A-Amber?" "You have sweat on your cheeks. Ichigo-kun you should take a rest for now." She said, worry and concern showing in her voice. "I can't rest. We need all the time we have to go save Rukia." Amber laughed and snapped her fingers and I felt everything freeze...
