Ikkaku VS. Tama

Ichigo's P.O.V

"This is your strongest fighter?" Ikkaku asked.

"Yes," Yuji said. "Tama may be small but she sure is strong."

"Who are these kids anyways?" Kojiro asked Kirino.

"Yuji just bought them in since one of them was holding a wooden sword." Kirino responded.

"Do you think they'll join?" Kojiro asked.

"Don't know." Kirino said. "I wonder how well the badly will fight against Tama."

"The names' Ikkaku Madarame," Ikkaku said while turning towards Kirino. "And I don't like being called baldy."

"Someone sure has a temper." Kojiro said.

Ikkaku turned towards Tama. "Let's start fighting." Ikkaku said.

Tama made the first move. "Body strike!" Donny announced.

"That girl is fast." Ikkaku though. "There's no way you're going to get me this time!"

Tama moved first again. "Wrist strike!" Donny said.

"This is so unfair." Ikkaku thought. "She got me twice in a row."

"Would you like to fight again?" Tama asked.

"Of course," Ikkaku said.

Ikkaku moved his feet a little bit but it didn't work out and Tama got him again. "Head strike!" Donny said.

"This is embarrassing." Yumichika said. "I thought Ikkaku could get a hit on this kid."

"Tama is really strong and fast for her size." Kirino told Yumichika.

"I couldn't tell." Yumichika said.

"I won't rest until I get one strike on you." Ikkaku said.

"If you wish," Tama said. Tama got five more strikes and Ikkaku.

"Ikkaku," I said. "You sure Kendo is your thing?"

"Quiet Ichigo," Ikkaku said. "I've done kendo before."

"That power." I said.

"It's definitely a hollow." Captain Hitsugaya said.

"And I was getting into this too." Rangiku said.

"Ikkaku," I said. "You can continue with kendo and we'll take care of this."

"I'll be out there in a minute." Ikkaku said.

"But I thought you weren't done until you got a strike on Tama." Kirino said.

"Oh, fine." Ikkaku said. "I can get a strike on her this time," Ikkaku thought.

Tama went after Ikkaku and got him with a wrist strike. After five more tries Ikkaku finally got Tama with a body strike. "Body strike!" Donny shouted.

"Finally," Ikkaku said as he took off the head gear.

"Good job." Tama said.

Ikkaku took off the body gear. "I'll be back later." Ikkaku rushed outside to help out the rest of the group with the hollows.

"It's about time you got here, Ikkaku." I said.

"Hey," Ikkaku said. "Kendo isn't as easy as it looks."

"You finally beat her then?" Rukia asked.

Ikkaku swallowed a soul candy to become a Soul Reaper. "Sure did." Ikkaku answered.

"How many times did it take you?" I asked.

"I don't want to talk about it." Ikkaku said.

"That long then, huh?" Rukia asked.

"I thought the hollows would have been gone by now." Ikkaku said.

"I thought so too but they just keep on coming." Captain Hitsugaya said.

Everyone from the dojo came outside to see what was going on.

"They should have stayed in." Captain Hitsugaya said.

Hollows picked up everyone except for Kojiro. "What's going on here?" Kojiro asked.

"Getsuga Tenshou!" I yelled. I got Kirino free from the hollow, held out my arms so she wouldn't hit the concrete, and I set her on the ground.

"That was totally weird." Kirino said. "It felt like someone helped me down."

Ikkaku got Tama free from the hollow, and the rest soon helped the kendo team down. "Thanks for your help, baldy." Tama said.

"The name's Ikkaku," Ikkaku said. "Wait how can you see me?"
