Chapter 13: Fight With An Arrancar

It had been a little over a week since Ichigo and his friends came back from the soul society and a lot had changed since then. Ever since they saw just how powerful Ichigo had become at the Sokyoku, Chad, Orihime and Uryu had been training harder with both Yoruichi and Kisuke relentlessly. They were determined to be on equal terms to him, despite the fact that he literally took on the the soul reapers most powerful weapon like it was nothing. Kon had also been training in her free time on her own. She practiced quite a bit somewhere near the forest of the town to avoid anyone seeing her. Kon had also started attending high school with Ichigo and the others when Isshin found her in the bathroom in one of Ichigo's shirts. It was awkward at first to explain to his father who Kon was, but with the help of Zangetsu's quick thinking, Ichigo was able to come up with a good enough lie for Kon to stay at his house and attend his school. Speaking of school, things had gotten a little odd for Ichigo at least. Because only Orihime, Chad, Uryu and Kon knew that his new job would have him leave the room at different times to take care of hollows, the girls would hang around him a lot more often to ensure there was an alibi for when he had to leave. This made both Keigo, Mizuiro and Tatsuki more than a little suspicious. Mainly Tatsuki since Mizuiro didn't really care and Keigo simply thought Ichigo was a pimp.

Today was another day for both Ichigo and Kon. They had already been getting ready for the day and were about to head out for some fun since it was a Saturday. Right when they were about to leave though, Ichigo's combat pass went completely crazy.

"What the hell?" He said as he took his pass and wondered why it was shouting 'Hollow' so frantically.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that this hollow could be very dangerous." Kon spoke up. She would never worry about Ichigo all too much when it came to dealing with normal hollows, but for some reason this felt different. "Think I should come with?" She asked, expecting the answer to be no. Ichigo was a powerful soul reaper and would never really accept help from his friends if its just one low class hollow. One time though he did ask for their help when a mass of hollows attacked. That was strange.

"I just might need some help now that I feel it." Ichigo said in a slightly serious tone. Kon could tell that this hollow must be dangerous if Ichigo was serious about something.

Kon nodded and the two bolted out of the house. The energy that Ichigo was feeling was different from ordinary hollows. This felt completely different, almost like it was more controlled than others, just like him and Zangetsu. The two made their way to a park not so far away from their house and Ichigo and Kon could feel a suppressed energy hiding not too far away. The park was empty and the two stood ready for anything. Ichigo may have still been in his own body, but that didn't make him weak. He had developed a way to use Zangetsu's brute strength to fight in his normal form if necessary.

"Well well well, I was wonderin' how long you were gonna make me wait Ichigo Kurosaki!" A woman's voice yelled out. Suddenly the park was covered in some kind of barrier that surrounded the whole area. Both Ichigo and Kon looked around for whoever that voice belonged to, and Ichigo went into his soul reaper form quickly. "Good." The voice started again as an intense spiritual pressure bared down on the two. To Kon, it was heavily immense, but to Ichigo, it felt on his own level. He raised his own energy to help Kon breathe easier.

"Thanks Ichigo." Kon said to him as she stood up straight.

"No problem Kon." Ichigo said to her with a smirk.

Before he could say anything else though, a feral laugh caught their attention. Both Kon and Ichigo looked to where the laugh was originating from only to see a woman coming down from the sky slowly. She was an odd woman, as she had on what looked like a soul reaper outfit on yet hers was white. She had a tight jacket on that only covered her breast and that showed her large cleavage, and she had long blue hair that almost looked like it was in a dual ponytail. She also had some kind of mask fragment of a toothy jaw on the right side of her face. She looked at Ichigo with a feral grin to her face as she slowly floated down and landed on the ground.

"Heh." She started. "Bout damn time I got this chance. I was startin' to get bored just watchin' ya all week."

Ichigo rose an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "So let me get this straight. You've been stalking me for a week? That either means you're just depraved and looking for some action, or you're her for some other reason." The woman's grin grew wider at Ichigo's words. She started to walk over to the two slowly. "Kon." Ichigo said to his friend. "Stay behind me, okay." Kon nodded, realizing this woman was out of her league, and stood behind Ichigo.

"Smart girl." The woman started before stopping a few feet from them. "But this fight is between me and the strawberry, so do me a favor, and fuck off." The woman disappeared and reappeared next to Kon, much to the girls surprise. The woman reached out to grab Kon by the neck, but before she could even get close though, Ichigo had grabbed her arm, stopping her. The woman looked to Ichigo with the same grin while Kon was in shock at how easily she would've been taken out by this woman.

"Yeah, you're not gonna lay a hand on my friend miss-" Ichigo started before he was cut off by the woman's laugh.

"Now that's the kind of reflexes and strength I was hopin to see!" She yelled out while laughing. "And by the way, the names Grimmjane. Grimmjane Jaegerjaquez." She said as she yanked her arm away and delivered a surprise kick to Ichigo's side. This sent him skidding a few yards away on his feet before he stopped himself.

He looked to Grimmjane and grinned himself. "Alright then." He started as he stood straight. He went for Zangetsu on his right side with his left hand and unsheathed her. "Now this ought to be fun."

Grimmjane looked to him with a wide grin and looked to Kon again. "Like I said, fuck off. This fights between the two of us." She went for a sword attached to her left side that both Kon and Ichigo failed to notice beforehand. Grimmjane pulled the blade out and pointed it towards Kon as a warning, but before she could say or do anything, Ichigo had punched her in the face. The blow sent her skidding away from the two several meters. Kon looked to Ichigo and saw that his right hand was white with black nails for a second before it changed back.

"Like I said Grimmjane, you're not gonna lay a hand on my friend." Ichigo said with a slightly more serious tone to his voice.

Grimmjane stood up and started to laugh again as she felt the bruise on her right cheek. "Now that's a fuckin punch! This is gonna be very fun, I can tell!" She got into a stance and rushed towards Ichigo, as did he and the two started their deadly dance.

Off in a fancy apartment room with a bar to it, seven women could feel a very powerful yet faint battle underway in a park not so far away from them. One of the women who noticed first was in the middle of reading her book before she felt it. Whatever was going on with this suppressed battle must've been between a hollow and some other person that felt surprisingly similar to them. Without wanting to wait for the others, this woman left the apartment room and leapt to where the battle was taking place.

"Tsukishima!" One of the woman in a black leather coat with a white shirt under it yelled out as Tsukishima left. "Dammit. Come on!" She said to the others as they followed Tsukishima to where the battle was taking place.

The other five followed her out. One was a dark skinned woman wearing tight clothing that showed off her curves very well. Another was a girl with magenta hair tied in pigtails, and she was wearing a short black dress. The other was a middle aged looking woman with some kind of strap that covered her right eye. She was wearing some weird looking butler outfit or something(AN: Really Hated That Guy). Another, was a blonde haired girl wearing a long black coat with a black hat. She looked very bored by this whole thing. The last one was a girl with a shaved head that also had a short Mohawk. She was dressed in some black school girls outfit, but instead of a skirt, she wore black pants.

They followed Tsukishima to a rooftop overlooking the ongoing battle. As the six approached and saw Tsukishima standing there absolutely dumbfounded, they got a good look at what was down there to cause such a reaction from her. They all saw what looked like a blue haired hollow that looked very human like fighting an orange haired soul reaper. The only problem with that, was that the soul reaper was a male and felt more hollow-like than the seven standing on the rooftop. They watched as he continued his battle against the hollow, but from the looks of it and how the battle felt, the both of them were holding back considerably.

Down on the ground in the park, both Grimmjane and Ichigo clashed once more. They both had mad grins on their faces as they enjoyed this battle. They leapt away from each other to get their bearings before waiting for the other to make their move first.

"So Grimmjane." Ichigo started. "Any reason you're here, or did you just want to fight someone strong?" he asked her with the same grin still on his face.

"Heh." Grimmjane started. "Nah, I just wanted to see what the big deal is about you." Ichigo dropped his grin and raised an eyebrow. "Guess you'll just have to figure that out later. Right now we keep fight-" She was interrupted when a strong spiritual pressure dropped down on the area for a brief second. "Tch." She started before sheathing her sword. "Guess we'll have to continue this some other time." She opened a garganta and stepped through it before turning her head to Ichigo. "And next time, I won't be holding back Berry boy."

"Good." Ichigo said with a smirk. "Then next time I won't either."

The garganta closed and Ichigo sheathed his blade before stretching himself out. As he did that, he spotted out of the corner of his eye, some individuals on a rooftop staring at him. He looked to them and saw the seven woman watching him intently. They froze at his gaze and then were confused his sudden smile. Before Ichigo could go to them though, Kon caught his attention.

"Ichigo." She said. Ichigo looked to her for a brief moment before turning back to see the seven were gone. He shrugged then turned back to Kon.

"Well that was definitely weird." He said to her with a smile. "You okay Kon?"

"Yeah." She said in an unsure tone. "Yeah, I'm fine." She went up to him and scratched her head. "Sorry I couldn't really do anything to help against, whatever that woman was."

"Don't mention it Kon." Ichigo said to her with a smile. "Come on. Lets go see if Kisuke can figure out just what happened." Kon nodded, and the two made their way out of the park towards the shop.

As they were leaving, the seven caught another glance of Ichigo as he sailed through the air with Kon. They saw him while hiding in an alleyway. When Ichigo and Kon were out of sight, the girl with the Mohawk started first in an overly excited yet confused tone.

"Holy shit! That was a guy soul reaper!" She said.

"Yeah. Pretty sure we all noticed that Moe." The dark skinned woman stated to Moe. "Kiku, you said that only female souls exist. Why was that one a male?"

The woman in the black leather jacket, now called Kiku, sighed. "I had heard of a male soul reaper for some time now, but I didn't think that rumor was true Jackie."

"It seems that he is truly powerful though." The woman with the covered eye said to her.

"I'm pretty sure we all noticed that Gen." The blonde girl started as she brought out a game system from her coat pocket. "And you might as well stop your drooling, he's way out of you league old hag."

"Enough Yukiko." Kiku Ginjo said to her. "I felt something about that boy. Something very similar to us."

"A hollow Ginjo." Tsukishima said to her. This caught everyone's attention as Tsukishima continued. "That boy has a hollow inside of him. I get the feeling he's exactly like us, just different slightly."

"And what exactly are you suggesting we do about him?" Ginjo asked her.

Tsukishima smirked at her question before going back to reading her book and walking away.
