"I'm home." Ichigo said as he came home after another day at school.

"Ichigo!" Isshin shouted as he greeted him in his usual way, but Ichigo moved and kicked him in the gut. "That's my boy. You're reflexes are improving."

"How was your day Ichigo?" Yuzu asked.

"It was okay. Some of my friends stayed to clean up the school. I offered Orihime my help, but she said she had it." Ichigo said. He thought back to what he and the others talked about at the school.

Flashback

Ichigo, Chad, and Uryu were taking a break as they were in the middle of gym class as they waited for the girls to get done.

"Anything new on our mystery new friends from yesterday?" Ichigo said.

"Kisuke already contacted the Soul Society. Rukia and Renji should be on their way." Uryu said.

"Ichigo!" Keigo shouted as he ran right to him, but Ichigo raised his fist and hit him without even looking. "What are you guys talking about? Oh wait, are you checking out Orihime, Ichigo?"

"No." Ichigo said.

"Are you saying you have no interest in her? If you won't, I'll take a crack at her." Keigo said.

"You know Tatsuki will try and kill you if you do. Now would you go away?" Ichigo said as he pushed him away. "What's the matter with him? What do you think Chad?"

"I think you and Orihime would make a great couple." Chad said.

"That's not what I meant!" Ichigo said with an irritated tone.

End of Flashback

…

'What is it with the guys talking to me about Orihime like that? I can't worry about that now, not while this is going on.' Ichigo thought and went upstairs. "I'm going to get change. I'm working a late shift tonight." He said as he went into his room.

"Yo." He was surpised when he saw both Rukia and Renji in his room.

"Renji, Rukia! Don't you two know not to break in and enter?" Ichigo said.

"Oh yeah, you have guests." Karin said as she passed by.

"So what are you two doing here?" Ichigo said.

"Kisuke told us about those humans you've fought." Rukia said.

"We were hoping you might give us a clue to help us start our investigation." Renji said.

"Sorry, but Kisuke probably told you everything there is. We've never faced an enemy like this before." Ichigo said.

…

The School

"I'll see you later, Chad." Uryu said as he left the school after it just got done get cleaned up and most people finished what work they had left. Chad went over to see Orihime and her friends in the field.

"Orihime, I'm just about done. Do you need any help with anything?" Chad offered.

"No thanks. We're just about done too." Orihime said. Chad nod in understanding and was about to leave, but found himself getting kicked in the gut. "Chad!"

"What happened?" Michiru said. They saw someone that was the same size as Chad stand over him with short black hair. He had black vest with a purple t shirt and blue pants that had black down the sides and he carried a katana.

"Hey babe, did you miss me?" Orihime looked to the side to see Hayne and Makin.

"Not these two again." Chad said.

"Girusei, can you keep the big one busy? Watch out for the arms." Hayne said.

"Right. Just leave this one to me." Girusei said. He grabbed on Chad's arm and tossed him across the ground.

"So you're one of them." Chad said as he got up. "If that's the case, I'll bring you down. Brazo Derecha de Gigante!" …

Ichigo

Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji felt the spiritual pressure.

"What's going on? Chad's spiritual pressure just increased." Rukia said.

"It has to be those two from the other day. I can sense them as well." Ichigo said. He reached for his pass and pressed it against his chest. The three left through the window and hurried to the school. When they were gone, Karin came in and saw Ichigo's body on the chair.

"Ichigo." Karin heard everything. She was wishing there was something she could do to help.

…

Uryu

While Uryu was walking down the street, he sensed the spiritual pressure of Chad and the others.

"That power! It's those two from the other day and it seems they brought back up." Uryu said as he ran back to help, but he sensed that there was another very close to him. He looked to see someone was walking towards him. He wore a white buttoned shirt with a grey blazer and black dress pants. He wore glasses and had brown hair with a katana in his hand. "Looks like I've got my own problems."

"Hello there. My name is Susuke, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I take it you're with those people who are attacking my friends." Uryu said.

"I am." Susuke said and he saw Uryu move his hand carefully. "Are you trying to bring forth that bow? Makin told me all about you and your friends' capabilities." That caught Uryu's attention as he said like he already knew all there was about him and the others. "You creat a bow out of spirit energy and come firing thousands of arrows at once. I figure you do that by gathering reishi around you. I happen to know your large friend holds powers similar to a hollow, but it only goes around his arms. The girl holds a strange power, but only has about six origin points for attack, defense, and healing."

"You were able to gather all that just from little information your friend gave you?" Uryu said. "I take it that means you're the brain."

"I am the smart one, but I'm not the leader if that's what you're also inquiring." Susuke said. He drew out his sword and attacked, but Uryu jumped out of the way and started firing his arrows.

…..

The School

"Okay, so many beautiful girls and I get to play with all of them." Hayne said.

"This guy is sick." Tatsuki said.

"You girls get out of here right now." Orihime said.

"Hold it right there." Ichigo appeared in front of them.

"You again!" Hayne said. Rukia and Renji appeared at the top of the school.

"So these are the guys." Renji said.

"Just keep your eyes open and watch what they do." Rukia said.

"I'm sorry, but you two are going to have to deal with me." They looked behind them to see someone was waiting for them. He had spikey brown hair, light grey shirt with a red sun over his heart, and red shorts with a white cross on both legs.

"Who are you?" Renji said.

"The name is Nyle. You're ends are here, soul reapers." He said as he pulled out his sword. Chad was busy fighting Girusei and Ichigo was on his own fighting Hayne and Makin.

"Perfect. Let's finish what we started." Hayne said.

"Hold it. I will take care of him." Makin said.

"Are you serious?! No way, this guy is mine." Hayne said.

"Go play with the girls like you usually want to. I will handle him. Trick, Mirāraito." Makin said. His sword changed into the scythe and attacked Ichigo, but Ichigo was able to block it.

"Orihime, keep the girls safe." Ichigo said.

"Right." Orihime said.

"What the heck is going on?" Mahana asked.

"Can't you see what's going on?" Chizuru said.

"Just run now. It's dangerous to be here." Orihime said.

"Hold on!" Hayne said as he managed to get a hold of Chizuru with his shikai revealed. "You know, you're kind of cute."

"Don't try to flirt with me. My eyes are on Orihime." Chizuru said.

"You mean you're one of those girls? Then, get out of here, I only want real woman." Hayne said as he shoved her away. "Now get over here." He tossed his dagger end at Orihime.

"Shiten Kōshun!" Orihime brought up her shield and blocked the attack with her own cutting Hayne's side. The girls made a run for it and it was just the fighters now.

"So you have some fight in you. Let's see what you got." Hayne said.

"Getsuga Tenshō!" Makin tried to block Ichigo's attack, but it held great force and pushed him back. When it subsided, his cape was torn up with smoke coming off him.

"You hold great power. You ruined my cape, I actually like it." Makin said as he tore it off.

"Not bad that you able to block that, but I held back since you are part human." Ichigo said.

"Let's see how you do against this." Makin said and raised his weapon. "Mage Sekai! (bend world)" The whole world around Ichigo and everyone begin to bend and warp. Ichigo was off balance and didn't understand and that got him cut against the chest with the world returning to normal.

"What was that?" Ichigo said.

"You moron, that affects everyone in the area." Hayne said.

"Sorry, but this is not someone to mess with." Makin said. As the fights went on, Rukia and Renji teamed up against Nyle. Both of them attacked, but he was able to hold off against both of them.

"He knows what he's doing." Rukia said. "He has skill with a sword."

"You haven't seen anything. Split, Supaikunhebi! (Spike Snake)" Nyle said. His sword changed into double edge sword and split into fragments being held together by a thread. Nyle started whipping it around to try and lash the two.

"Two can play at this game. Roar, Zabimaru!" Renji said as he released his shikai and thrusted it, but Nyle moved out of the way.

"So your shikai is similar to mine. Let's see what you got." Nyle said. Hayne kept attacking Orihime, but he couldn't get past his sword. Ichigo tried to fight Makin before he released more illusions. Chad tried to fire a blast of energy at Girusei, but he was able to avoid it.

"Who are you guys and what do you want here?" Chad said.

"You're about to find out." Girusei said. Chad moved in and tried to pound him, but Girusei ducked down and placed his sword above his waist. "Kyūshū Shimasu! (absorb)" His sword glowed blue and slashed across Chad as his fullbring dispersed.

"Chad!" Ichigo shouted as it looked like he was hurt, but he was able to get up. There was no cut or blood. Chad tried to pound him, but nothing happen as he tried to access his fullbring. He couldn't feel anything.

"What's going on? I can't use my fullbring." Chad said.

"What did you do to him?" Ichigo said.

"Kyūshū Shimasu." Makin said. "It's a technique that absorbs spirit energy. When a human comes in contact with it, all their spirit energy that gives them power is absorbed. He still holds spirit awareness so he can still see you, but that's about it."

"You mean you took away his powers?" Ichigo said.

"Yes and when it's used on a soul reaper, their entire being is absorbed." Makin said as he continued fighting him. Hayne kept tossing both ends of his weapon, but Orihime kept blocking him.

"That shield is getting annoying." Hayne said. He tried to figure something out and it soon came to him. He went straight for a direct attack and when Orihime held up her shield, he used flash step and got over her. "Now I have you!"

"Orihime!" Ichigo shouted as he was able to push Makin away and used the flash step to stop Hayne, but he saw him coming and blocked his attack.

"Good. I wanted to fight you." Hayne said and those two started fighting.

"Ichigo!" Orihime said as she was about to help him, but sensed a new presence.

"Kyūshū Shimasu." A glowing blue sword came through her chest and absorbed all her power.

"Orihime!" Ichigo shouted. He saw there was another woman behind her. When he went to help her, the woman moved back and Orihime dropped to her knees. "Are you alright?"

"My powers….they're gone!" Orihime said and Ichigo faced the woman.

"Who are you?" Ichigo said. The woman looked to be in her twenties. She had long, dark brown hair. She wore a dark grey shirt, light green hiking shorts, with brown combat boots. "Wait a minute, she kind of looks like Orihime."

"What's the matter with you guys? Hayne, you can't handle one little girl?"

"It's not my fault." Hayne said. She turned her eyes to Orihime.

"Look at you Orihime. You're beautiful, hold great power, and you seem to have one good looking boyfriend. Your mother would be proud if she even cared, but I'm sure Sora is."

"Wait a minute, I'm not her boyfriend. What is it with everyone saying stuff like that today?" Ichigo said.

"Wait, how do you know Sora and my name? Who are you?" Orihime asked.

"I'm not surprised. You were just born when I left. My name is Masara, I'm your older sister."
