I don't own anything

"…No, that can't be…" Soifon muttered, as she looked down.

"It is…sorry, I really didn't want to tell you." Ichigo said with a sigh, causing Soifon to glare a bit.

"Sorry?! I've just learned that all I thought I stood for was built upon a foundation of lies! The justice I thought I was upholding, the purpose I was fighting for, everything I did…What was the point?" Soifon said angrily.

Ichigo sighed, as he glanced around. 'Alright Ichigo, you were able to make peace between the Geth and the Quarians…You should be able to help her.' He thought to himself. "It has nothing to do with you, Soifon…" He began.

"I have been working for an organization that started out as a group of criminals, who extorted, bribed, threatened, murdered, and committed genocide!" Soifon said with a glare, of course she heard about the war with the Quincys, but it was so offhanded and it was spoken with such triviality, that it seemed like the war was like…a day or so long and didn't really matter. She didn't know how large they were as a race. She thought maybe there were a few dozen maybe a hundred, not thousands. And they killed everything, the elderly, kids, babies, everything, no one was permitted to survive, with only a handful being let go and monitored closely.

"That doesn't make you a criminal…besides I thought you really wouldn't care." Ichigo admitted, she was a person who wouldn't care about the morality of her superiors and focused on getting her job done and effectively.

"I may be strict and loyal, but I'm not amoral. I can think for myself." Soifon said with a scowl.

"I know." Ichigo said, before he sighed. "Look, like I said, I apologize…" He began.

"Don't apologize, it's for the weak. If you are sorry, don't tell me, make it better, don't waste it on a breath." She said coolly, she was still a bit upset.

Ichigo rolled his neck a bit, as he glanced around. "Look, Soifon. I cannot even begin to understand how you're feeling. And I won't pretend to, because I know you'd feel like it was an insult." He said. "I am not throwing you into the fire or anything like that, because of what the Shinigami did. This is my reason for not trusting them, along with a few other tidbits. I don't lump you in with them." He informed.

The orange haired teen took a step back from the Shinigami Captain, before he looked at her seriously. "I didn't want to tell you this, mostly because I knew how it could have affected you." He admitted. "But I trust you. In Soul Society, you could've killed me, captured me, or even worse…" Ichigo said, as he reached out and put his hands on her shoulders. "…I trust you, Soifon, I do not associate you with the Shinigami, I don't think of you as a criminal…you are your own person." He informed.

Soifon looked down, only to feel she was pulled closer towards the orange haired teen. Ichigo knelt down a bit, since Soifon was about a foot or so shorter than him, and looked at her in her grey eyes. "Listen…You believe you're a criminal now, that your association with them makes you as bad as they were…" Ichigo said seriously. "…If you're confused and unsure about yourself, if you believe that your association to them makes you evil, then stay with me." He said.

"It'll be all right. If you need something to prove you existed. That what you've done wasn't all for the sake of following a group of ambiguous people, I will be that remnant. I will dig deeply into this world to leave behind an indelible mark that will prove that you were here as the one who wanted to be good, for your justice." Ichigo said.

Soifon looked down, before she looked into the orange haired teen's eyes. She never would've expected him to say that. She did like him, she saw him as a better, male version of Yoruichi. Someone she could believe and confide in. To hear him say that made her heart sore a bit.

"Why would you do that for me?" Soifon questioned with some heavy suspicion in her voice. She was only asking it, to make sure Ichigo knew she wouldn't just follow him around, even if he didn't say that.

"I have no real reason to protect you…" Ichigo admitted, before he sighed and reached back and rubbed his neck. "…but that's no reason to just let you feel like that. You're a good friend and I couldn't stand by and let you feel like that." He said seriously.

Soifon looked at Ichigo with cool grey eyes, but on the inside she was almost fangirling out. Some might comment on her obsession with Yoruichi, collecting lots of black cat toys, or anything that resembled her. She 'happened' to lose most of them and they were replaced with strawberry related things, and she had lots of drawings of 'Strawberries and Bees' going together.

The fact the person she adored and admired, the person she placed almost a lot of her affection into, was saying stuff like this. Soifon was ready to leave the Gotei 13 for Yoruichi, but now she was sure she would've actively fought against it for Ichigo.

Ichigo shifted a bit, as he saw Soifon just staring at him coolly, before she smirked. A smirk Ichigo remembered her having after they fought the first time in Soul Society.

Soifon reached out and did a 'come here' motion. Ichigo looked a bit unsure, as he stepped closer towards the petite woman. She had the smirk on her face, as she did a 'come closer' motion with her fingers.

"…Is this cl…Mmm…." Ichigo sounded, as Soifon grabbed the helm of his shirt, pulled him closer towards him and hungrily smashed her lips with his. And that was a literal term. Soifon wasn't what people could call a gentle person.

Soifon reached up with one hand a roughly racked her fingers through his hair, while her other hand gripped his shoulder and held him stead. Liking the physical dominance she was forcing onto Ichigo, she forced her tongue in his mouth and unrelentingly moved it through his mouth. With one of her legs, she wrapped it around Ichigos and squeezed it, bringing him down.

Ichigo was confused about what was happening. He wasn't sure if Soifon was trying to make out with him, or put him in a judo/ krav maga type hold. But he decided he really didn't care, he reached up with his hands and grabbed Soifon by her shoulders and lifted her up a bit, it was kinda easy since she was really light.

As Soifon pulled back from the kiss and panted a bit, Ichigo pushed her up against a wall and returned the kiss with interest. Soifon moaned into Ichigo's mouth, as his hands moved under her Haori and felt her smooth skin. He felt her arms and her back, as Soifon relaxed.

Ichigo may have had the self-control of a monk, but he had limits. He was a teenager and he was surrounded by almost impossibly attractive women. His tolerance for teasing and seeing a bit more skin then he normally would, was better. But when a woman like Soifon practically attacks him, he just can't hold it back, but he could try.

While the two were hungrily kissing each other, with Soifon releasing all her pent-up emotions and Ichigo his pent-up hormones, the two pressed their bodies together, with their hands feeling every par to of each other's bodies.

After a few seconds, Ichigo pulled back and panted. "…Wow, Ichigo-sama." Soifon said quietly, as she felt Ichigo's body press against hers. She felt so small compared to him, and she didn't mind. She loved to dominate, she was a dominating person, and she just loved the control. But she also wanted to be controlled, being lead and told what to do for most of her life, she followed Yoruichi zealously, she followed the Gotei 13 zealously, now she'd follow Ichigo zealously.

"W-what?" Ichigo said, as he felt her body up against his.

"I liked the kiss." Soifon said teasingly, with a smirk on her face.

"No, I meant 'Ichigo-sama', why call me that?" Ichigo questioned. He was pretty sure she could kick his ass if she wanted to, so he didn't see why she saw him as a superior.

"I…" Soifon began, before she sighed. "…Am a follower." She admitted. "I've followed people for the most of my entire life. I was raised to be a servant and protector of the Shihōin family, more specifically Yoruichi. When she left…I was the follower and Captain of the Gotei 13. And now…I follow you." Soifon informed, as she smiled a bit, though it looked a bit out of place, since she usual had a cold scowl and teasing smirk.

Ichigo looked stunned, before Soifon leaned forward and sealed her lips with his for a moment and then pulled back. "…I'll follow you till the end of the world…" She said, as she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips again. "…Your enemies will be killed swiftly, by my hands if you choose…" Soifon said, as she leaned forward and kissed the side of his neck. "…as you protect me and guide me, I will protect you with every cell in my body…" She said, before she leaned forward and sealed her lips with his.

Soifon pulled back, as she let go of Ichigo and reached up to her shoulders and brushed off her white Captain's Haori. As the Haori fell to the floor, Ichigo's eyes roamed over Soifon. She wore the black commander-in-chief Onmitsukidō uniform, which had no sleeves and didn't cover her back. Her outfit revealed portions of the sides of her breasts, as well as her thighs.

Ichigo looked down at Soifon and felt his heart racing. "…I am all yours, and I'm ready to follow any order…" Soifon said with a smirk on her face, as she reached out and put a delicate hand on the orange haired teen's chest. "…Ichigo-sama." She added.

"Mmmm…" Ichigo sounded, before he glanced down the large corridors of Las Noches. "…MRrrmmm…" He sounded frustrated, as he shifted a bit.

"What's wrong?" Soifon questioned.

"I really…really want to do this…" Ichigo said, before he glanced around. "…But the end of the world is at stake and…Arrgh, I really want you." He admitted, as he looked at Soifon. "But we've really got to work on killing Aizen and…" He trailed off.

Soifon raised an eyebrow. "I understand, Ichigo-sama." She admitted, before she raised her arms up and put interlaced her fingers together, she leaned to the sides and stretched. Soifon leaned back and just smirked at Ichigo as she did, knowing she was giving him a bit of a show.

Ichigo stared at her, as she stretched her body, before he shook his head. "Come on, we have to go." He said, as he turned.

Soifon stood back up and rolled her neck, as she walked with Ichigo. "So, how long have you known you wanted me?" She asked with a teasing smirk.

"…It's kinda hard not to…" Ichigo muttered to himself, but the former Captain heard it.

Soifon looked forward and scowled. "Those girls…" She began. "…I've taken extensive reconnaissance missions on them while I was here, and I've taken dozens of notes on them." She admitted, as she reached into her uniform and pulled out a very, very large and thick book. "I am well aware of your…relationship with those girls." She informed.

Ichigo blinked a few times, before he rubbed the back of his neck. He was actually kinda worried about how she might react to them, but it seems she was alright with it.

"...Here are my findings on all of the, and why they aren't good enough to be near you." Soifon said, as she handed Ichigo the large book.

…or she wasn't okay with it. Ichigo grabbed onto the book and opened it up, and began to read. He couldn't help but laugh at what was in there. There seemed to be paragraphs, pages, of detailed information on Ruby's, Weiss', Blake's, Yang's, Bambietta's, Candice's, and Giselle's bad habits.

"What's so funny?!" Soifon demanded with narrowed grey eyes, and a blush on her face.

"It's just, it's kinda adorable. You probably know them more than they know themselves." Ichigo commented, before he gave Soifon a smirk. "Do you have a crush on them or something?" He asked teasingly.

Soifon froze, as she blushed heavily. She recognized this. It was similar to the time she tried to dissuade Yoruichi from being with Urahara. "No, I just want you to know the flaws of those girls you're with!" She argued.

Ichigo sigh, as he scratched the side of his head. "Well, that's sorta the point." He admitted to himself. "I like them…I love them, and while their flaws are pretty predominate. I stay with them despite of it." He informed. "I guess it shows that since I…ignore…their flaws, they're the people I want to be with." He said. He knew they were flawed, even he was flawed, and he'd never leave them because of it.

Soifon scowled coldly, as she looked forward. She was hoping to dissuade Ichigo from being with those barbaric, noisy, obnoxious, immature girls. He deserved someone who was reserved, civilized, quiet and obedient. 'Someone like me.' Soifon thought to herself.

Ichigo glanced at the former Captain. "Listen, Soifon." He said. "I'm not stupid, despite what some people might think." He informed, before he sighed. "I'm sure it's pretty obvious that you like me…" Ichigo said sarcastically. "…I mean, we just full on, made out and felt each other up, while the world might end." He said dryly.

He reached up and rubbed his face, and dragged his hand down and sighed loudly. "And while I really…really…really don't need or want any more girls in to be with me." He admitted, causing Soifon to scowl and look down. "…I can barely handle one." He said, referring to Blake. She's the only girl he was actually intimate with and he could admit it was hard to please her. Since she was a bit of a nymphomaniac as well as being kinda of a masochist, Ichigo didn't even want to think about what all of the other girls' kinks were.

"…But, I will welcome you with open arms." Ichigo admitted. "If you do like me, and…I really hate making girls upset…I should work on that." He said to himself. "I don't mind being with you, God knows I don't mind, I'll try to make sure you're completely satisfied." He said, causing Soifon to cross her arms.

"I don't want to be some…concubine." Soifon said coolly, as she glared forward. She wanted to please Ichigo yes, she wanted to be his everything. She didn't want to share that position with other, lower tiered girls.

"Eeehhh…" Ichigo sounded, as he shrugged. "…I can't really tell the others 'that I can't be with them'." He said dryly.

"…Why not?" Soifon asked, as she looked at the orange haired teen with grey eyes.

"Heh, well, I don't really have an answer for that. You kinda put me on the spot." Ichigo replied. "It's just in bad taste I guess. The fact that Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang being my Zanpakuto spirits, we'll have some…pretty awkward conversations." He said sarcastically.

"Wait…those girls, the short black haired girl with silver eyes, the stuck up white haired girl, the black haired girl and that blonde woman…they're your Zanpakuto Spirits…" Soifon said in surprise, of course she suspected they held some form of close relation, having almost identical spiritual pressure.

"Yeah…" Ichigo said with a sigh, as he glanced to the side. He really wished they were more. Despite the fact they could easily materialize in the real world, their max time out was only a month or so, before he ran out of spiritual energy to materialize them. He couldn't start a family with them, he could feel them and touch them, but it felt…empty. "…They're my Zanpakuto Spirits, Bambietta, Candice and Giselle…They…they try." He admitted, they were incredibly violent people and they tried their best to hold that back, just so he would be okay with it. They tried their best to make sure he accepted them.

He knew they tolerated his faults. His brashness, his cockiness, his controlling personality, his anger management problems, the fact he sometimes overreacted to small things, the fact he always looks like he's pissed. Ichigo knew he wasn't an easy person to like or be around, but the fact they tried to be with him despite his faults, resonated with him. And he just couldn't deny them, as they went out of their way to ignore his faults.

"I really don't want to give them up, or even hurt them in general." Ichigo admitted.

"So you're a wimpy, chivalrous, people pleaser." Soifon summed up, with a teasing smirk.

"Pfft, hell no!" Ichigo replied loudly, as he scowled. "I couldn't give a shit about a lot a people, I mean. I don't really care about their opinions or anything like that." He said, before he sighed. He'd still try to help people out, as long as he didn't know them. "But, them…and you, you're my friends…we're more than that." He said, causing Soifon to look at him.

"I'm too naive. With thoughts like 'if I accept you all, and we all get along, perhaps we're be happy'." Ichigo said. "Arg, But Fuck, I admit it…" He said, as he ran a hand through his hair. "…I want you all! I don't want to lose any of you! I don't even want to think about the possibility of losing you girls!" He admitted angrily. "And I will face anything in order to protect you all." He said.

Soifon looked at the orange haired teen and scowled. 'I care about him, but his mentality is much more juvenile than I had expected. He despises himself for the fact he loves me…but, has an intense longing for the love I have for him…you're so confusing.' She thought, before she rolled her eyes.

After a few seconds, Soifon smirked. "You're helpless." She said, before she gave him a look. "It would seem you're in dire need of my help." She commented, as she coolly looked forward. "And you're lucky, I'm tolerant enough, to…look passed your…ahem, harem." Soifon said with her usual scowl.

She wasn't a lesbian, but she would gladly try to switch her sexuality if it meant she could be with Yoruichi when she was devoted to her. Now she held the same devotion she had for Yoruichi with Ichigo, so if she had to ignore some girls, she could do it easily.

As Soifon and Ichigo walked down the large corridors of Las Noches, the former Captain was thinking to herself. What she said to Ichigo about being upset about working for the Gotei 13 was a lie. She really didn't care about the fact that they were criminals, it pissed her off yes. She didn't want to see herself as a criminal. But Soifon was amoral. She didn't care about right or wrong, only about her target and getting her job done.

But she did look up to, admire and hold a large amount of devotion and trust in Ichigo. Soifon knew how he worked and thought, observing and studying the object of her affection. While she was disgusted at the Gotei as a whole, she used the information Ichigo gave her. To give herself the excuse of being with him, one of the reasons she came to Los Noches was to inform him she was going to retire from the Gotei and basically be his whatever he wanted, if he wanted a body guard, assassin, she really didn't care.

What Ichigo told her, gave her the opening to bond with him. As well as give her the opportunity to join him, without coming across as an obsessive weirdo.

Soifon froze, as she held her arm straight out to the side, stopping Ichigo from moving forward. "Huh?" He sounded.

"Pay attention to your senses, Ichigo-sama." Soifon said coolly, as she stared forward. "Can't you hear it?" She questioned.

Ichigo stopped and scowled, as he listened. The sound of soft footsteps echoed, before it got steadily louder and louder. Ichigo and Soifon turned around. A few meters behind them, was a slender woman, who was about a few inches taller than Soifon. She had pale white skin and messy black hair, along with slitted green eyes and teal tear markings.

Ulquiorra looked at Soifon dispassionately. "Like sheep to the pen…" She said, looking at the Captain. "…You're ready for the slaughter." She stated.

"Ulquiorra!" Ichigo said angrily, as he reared his fists back to summon Ember Celica, before he noticed nothing happened. 'What the fuck?' He thought, before he reached to his side as he summoned Myrtenaster, only for nothing to happen. He repeated the process and tried to summon Crescent Rose and Gambol Shroud, but like the other two, he couldn't materialize the weapons. Ichigo scowled, two purely black blades formed in his hands. 'Luckily Zangetsus work.' He thought, as he gripped the large Hollow Zangetsu in his left hand and the smaller Quincy Zangetsu in his right.

"I advise you stand down, boy." Ulquiorra said seriously, looking at the orange haired teen.

Soifon stepped forward and narrowed her grey eyes towards Ulquiorra, before she smirked. "So you're the person that kidnapped, Ichigo-sama." She said.

Ulquiorra raised an eye brow, before she nodded. "…Yes, I took him here." She agreed. She saw no reason to hide it.

Soifon vanished in a flicker and appeared in front of Ulquiorra, the Shinigami was above the Hollow with her foot reared back, before she sent a kick forward. Ulquiorra was kicked in the face with so much force, she was sent flying back and crashing through a wall, with Soifon following.

Ichigo blinked a few times, before he sighed. "Well…That was interesting." He said dryly.

Ulquiorra stood up and frowned, as Soifon stood in front of her with a grin on her face. "Are you one of them?" The melancholic woman asked, looking at the petite Shinigami. "One of the people that holds Ichigo back?" She questioned.

"The only one that's holding Ichigo-sama back, is you, hollow." Soifon replied, as she narrowed her grey eyes at the Arrancar.

"Hmph, so be it." Ulquiorra replied, before she kicked forward, only for Soifon to put her hands together and force it down. In an instant Ulquiorra's left fist shot forward, only for Soifon to hit it away, but the Arrancar went to hit the Shinigami with her other hand, but she put up her guard and blocked it with her forearm.

When Soifon was blocking the hit with her forearm, Ulquiorra moved closer and punched her in the stomach. Ulquiorra jumped up used her own momentum to hit Soifon in the head, causing the Shinigami to stumble back, before the Arrancar kicked her in the thigh. When Soifon went low, Ulquiorra kicked her in the side of the face, but the Shinigami blocked it with her arm. But as Soifon blocked it, Ulquiorra kicked her in the chest, sending her flying back and threw one of the stone pillars.

Soifon pushed herself up, only for Ulquiorra to appear in front of her in the sound of static. Ulquiorra snapped her leg out and went to kick Soifon in the side of the chest, only for the Shinigami to block it, but the Arrancar moved her leg up higher to kick her in the head, but Soifon dodged it.

Ulquiorra put her leg down and went to attack Soifon with her hand, only for Soifon to duck under it. As Soifon moved back, Ulquiorra turned and sent her leg out to the side, to kick the Shinigami, but she was able to duck under it.

Soifon moved back as Ulquiorra attacked. When the Arrancar sent her fist forward, Soifon hit it with her wrist, before she punched Ulquiorra in the face. As Ulquiorra was sent back, Soifon went to kick her, only for the Arrancar to hit her foot away. Ulquiorra turned and went to back-hand punch the Captain, only for Soifon to duck under it and turn, before she grabbed onto the Arrancar's extended hand and hold it over her shoulder, before she pulled down, flipping the hollow over and slamming her into the ground.

Ulquiorra pushed herself up, before Soifon went to kick her in the face, only for the Hollow to grab onto her shin and force it back down. As she got up, Ulquiorra and Soifon began to elaborately trade blows.

Soifon tried to hit Ulquiorra in the shoulder, only for the Arrancar to grab onto her arm and force it to the side, before she elbowed the petite Shinigami in the chest. When Soifon grimaced, Ulquiorra punched her in the stomach, before she moved back and went to elbow the woman in the face. Soifon put her arms up and blocked the hit, but Ulquiorra grabbed onto her arms and kneed the Shinigami in the stomach repeatedly.

Soifon glared, before she ducked low and grabbed onto Ulquiorra. In an instant, Soifon Flash Stepped forward and slammed Ulquiorra through several wall, all the while the Arrancar slammed her elbows into the Shinigami's back. After slamming the hollow through a few walls, Soifon growled as she lifted Ulquiorra up and flipped her over her back, sending the Arrancar to the ground. Soifon stumbled around, as she turned around and faced Ulquiorra, before she charged.

Just as Ulquiorra stumbled up, Soifon appeared in front of her. She grabbed the hollow by her shoulders, lifted her up and threw her back.

Ulquiorra quickly rolled herself up and prepared for Soifon's next attack. Just as Soifon sent a fist to the side, Ulquiorra grabbed onto the Captain's arm, only for the petite Shinigami to kick the hollow in the stomach.

When Ulquiorra's back touched a wall she slid to the side, just as Soifon planted her foot in it. Ulquiorra quickly kicked Soifon in the side of the face, sending the Captain back. She turned and went to kick Soifon in the chest, only for the Shinigami to force it back down with her hands. Ulquiorra pivoted and sent out the same foot, and kicked Soifon in the side of the face and held her foot there.

Soifon grimaced as her face was forced up against the stone wall of Los Naches by Ulquiorra's foot, before she turned and grabbed onto the Arrancar's extended leg and lifted her up, before she slammed her into the wall.

As Ulquiorra blinked a few times, Soifon appeared behind her and wrapped her arms around the Arrancar's throat and pulled back. Ulquiorra choked a bit, as she felt the Shinigami strangle her, before she elbowed the Soifon in the stomach a few times. When Soifon doubled over, Ulquiorra reached up to the Captain's head and pulled it slightly over her shoulder, before she jumped up and kneed the Shinigami in the face,

When Soifon was out of it, Ulquiorra grabbed onto the Shinigami's arms and ran forward, before she ran up the wall in front of up and landed behind the Captain. Ulquiorra kicked Soifon in the back of the leg, sending the Shinigami to her knees. Quickly Ulquiorra grabbed Soifon by the back of the head and moved in front of her, before she kneed her in the face.

As Soifon landed on the ground, she looked up, before she quickly rolled to the side as Ulquiorra stomped her foot onto the ground. Ulquiorra turned and went to back-hand punch the now standing Shinigami, but Soifon blocked the hit with her arm, but the Arrancar used that opening to punch the Shinigami in the stomach.

The two began to trade blows again, before Soifon grappled onto Ulquiorra and jumped up, trying to knee the hollow in the face, but was countered. When Soifon went back onto the ground, Ulquiorra went low and punched the Shinigami in the knee, creating a cracking sound. Soifon grimaced and rolled back, while kicking Ulquiorra in the chest.

As Ulquiorra was on her back, Soifon moved forward and wrapped her hands around the hollow's neck. Ulquiorra seemed to still hold her usual dispassionate gaze, as she looked up and reached out to Soifon's neck, and began to choke her too.

Ulquiorra moved her leg under Soifon, before she kicked her off. She turned and got up, before she moved towards the Captain. Ulquiorra sent her foot forward, only for Soifon to move to the side. Quickly Ulquiorra tuned and tried to deliver a spinning-hook kick, only for Soifon to duck under it.

Soifon moved closer, before the two began to trade blows towards each other. Ulquiorra broke out of a grapple Soifon tried to do, only to elbow the Shinigami in the chest. She went lower and punched Soifon in the side and then went even lower, and elbowed the Shinigami in the knee, pushing it out to the side with a loud crack sound.

Ulquiorra then grabbed Soifon by the leg and by the helm of her cloths, before she lifted her up and slammed her into the ground.

Soifon rolled up and looked at Ulquiorra to see she was about to knee her in the face, the Shinigami quickly caught onto the Hollow's leg. But she didn't have enough strength to hold back the leg, resulting in it hitting her in the chin.

Soifon grimaced, before she twisted Ulquiorra's leg and slammed her face first into the ground. When Ulquiorra was on the ground, Soifon began to crawl up the Hollow's body, while slamming her arms into the Arrancar's back.

When Soifon reached her shoulders, Ulquiorra turned and elbowed the Captain in the face, getting her off. Ulquiorra turned and rolled along the ground, as she tried to kick Soifon. As Soifon was distracted with Ulquiorra kicking her, the hollow rolled up and grabbed the Shinigami by the back of the head, before kneeing her in the face.

As Soifon grimaced back, Ulquiorra moved forward and went to kick the Shinigami in the face. Soifon blocked the foot, before she turned and sent her foot out to kick Ulquiorra in the face, only for the Arrancar to grab onto the extended leg and turn, forcing Soifon to look away from her.

Ulquiorra hit Soifon in the back of the leg, as she tried to get up. Soifon sent a hit towards the Hollow, only for Ulquiorra to block it, grab onto the back of Soifon's head again and knee her in the face.

Soifon was sent to the ground with a blood on her face. She rolled to the side, as she looked around in a daze, before she coughed.

Ulquiorra didn't look so go herself, having dozens of cuts and bruises on her body, as well as blood coming out of her mouth. She reached up and wiped the blood form her mouth, as her accelerated healing began to take effect.

"You say I'm holding Ichigo back, preposterous." Ulquiorra commented, as she looked down towards Soifon.

Soifon reached for her Zanpakuto, only for Ulquiorra to step on her arm. "You still have a will to fight? But it's pointless." Ulquiorra stated, as she frowned at the Shinigami. Soifon moved and glared at the Arrancar, before she leveled her palm out, as she went to do a Kido.

Ulquiorra looked at her dispassionately, before she kicked Soifon, getting a grunt from the Shinigami. When Soifon was flipped over and face first in the ground, she had a smirk on her face.

Quickly Soifon rolled over and held her hand up, before a bust of crackling yellow energy formed in her palm. Soifon quickly drew an inverted triangle around her, which generated a solidified energy in the shape of smaller triangles from its three points. "Bakudō #30. Shitotsu Sansen(Beak-Piercing Triple Beam)" She muttered, before the three smaller triangles fired and hit the unprepared Ulquiorra, and pinned her against the wall.

When Ulquiorra was pinned, Soifon stood up. The petite Shinigami grinned, as she reached up and wiped the blood from her face. "Did you think this would keep me down?" Soifon asked with a smirk. "Please." She said, as she unsheathed her Zanpakuto. "You were the one that kidnapped Ichigo-sama correct? Now that Aizen has left and stated he no longer requires Ichigo-sama, what were you planning on doing with him?" Soifon questioned, causing Ulquiorra to tilt her head, like she didn't know what the Shinigami was talking about.

"Depending upon your response, I may eliminate you right now. Although, even if you do not respond, I will still eliminate you." Soifon said with a smirk, as she held her blade up. "Sting all Enemies to Death, Suzumebachi (Hornet)." She muttered, as her Wakizashi glowed and shifted, before it turned into a black and gold gauntlet, with a small chain linking it to a stinger-like blade on Soifon's middle finger.

"What was I planning with Ichigo…" Ulquiorra trailed off, only for Soifon to vanish and reappear in front of her in supernatural speed.

Soifon thrust her hand forward, right at Hollow. Ulquiorra didn't even move, and Soifon's eyes went a bit wide as her stinger passed through the Espada's clothes, going through her hollow hole.

The distraction gave Ulquiorra enough time to tear her arm out of the bind, before she grabbed onto Soifon's extended arm and kicked the Shinigami in the stomach. When Soifon doubled over, Ulquiorra got her other hand out of the bind and grabbed the petite Shinigami by the throat and held her up.

Soifon struggled and kicked her legs, before she forced a smirk. She kicked her legs up and wrapped them around Ulquiorra's arm and shoulder, before she twisted herself, using her body and momentum to throw the Espada to the ground. When Ulquiorra was on the ground, Soifon sent Suzumebachi forward to hit the Arrancar.

Ichigo looked around as he poked his head through a destroyed wall. "…Well, I think they went this way." He said dryly, as he walked through a hole.

He looked around and noticed the room was decimated and there were several holes in the walls. "…Ugh, where could they have gone?" He asked, before the area shook.

A distance away from Ichigo, a group of people moved through the tower. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang seemed to be anxious, since they couldn't feel Ichigo, like they lost their connection with him. But Ruby could still sense his Spiritual Energy, so he wasn't dead.

Bambietta looked incredibly irritated, glaring at Raynare and Mittelt. She hated the fact there was more people liking Ichigo. 'Come on, fucking stop!' She thought angrily.

Candice was rubbing her head, as she yawned. 'Oh God, I'm so fucking tired.' She thought. It felt like they've been in Hueco Mundo for weeks, despite being there for only a few hours. The fact they've been fighting for a long time, really wore her out.

Giselle had a smile on her face, as she looked around happily. 'I wonder what I should do with Ichi-kun after all of this! Maybe I could break something of his, so he'd punish me! Oh, that sounds so amazing!' She thought.

Grimmjow had a scowl on his face, as he had his hands in his pockets. 'Why do I have to help these idiots!?' He thought angrily, as he looked at all the people next to him.

Momo and Toshiro walked close to each other, while Nemu stayed close to Ukitake in case he needed any medical help. Koneko sat on Chad's shoulders, as Uryū kept his distance away from the three Quincy Girls.

"Ugh, and another hole, it's like they were trying to make as much collateral damage as possible." A familiar male voice complained, grabbing Ruby's, Weiss', Blake's, Yang's, Bambietta's, Candice's, Giselle's, Koneko's, Raynare's, Mittelt's and Nemu's attention, so basically almost every female.

"Ichigo!" Ruby announced excitedly, before she vanished in a storm of rose petals.

Ichigo scowled as he stepped over the destroyed ground and looked at another large hole in the nearby wall. "Honestly…" He began, before he heard his name. "…Huh?" He sounded, as he glanced around. His eyes went wide, as he saw a black and red blur race right at him, before he was tackled to the ground.

"Ichigo!" A female voice announced, causing Ichigo to look down. He saw Ruby hugging him, as she buried her face in his chest.

"Ruby?" Ichigo asked unsure, as he looked at the girl, only to see she was looking up at him with wide silver eyes.

"Ichigo!" Ruby announced again.

"…Ruby?" Ichigo questioned.

"Ich…" Ruby began, only for Ichigo to stop her.

"Okay, yes, I'm well aware of my name." Ichigo said dryly.

"I was just so worried!" Ruby said loudly, as she slowly got off Ichigo. "At first you were kidnapped by some woman, and then I felt our connection get all cloudy…or was it blurry…" She said quickly to herself. "I don't know, and then I now I can't read your mind and I thought something happened and I was so scared something happened. But then I could still feel your presence, and I was…" She rattled off, before she felt someone pull on her hood.

"Honestly, charging a head. What is wrong with you?!" Weiss questioned, pulling Ruby off the orange haired teen, faster than the silver eyed girl was letting go.

Ichigo put his hands back, before he kicked himself up. "Don't be so hard on her, Weiss." He said with a sigh.

Weiss turned and narrowed her icy blue eyes at the orange haired teen, causing him to shift a bit. "What did you think you were doing!?" She asked, as she put a hand on her hip. "Getting yourself captured, pathetic!" She lectured.

"Yes, I missed you too." Ichigo said sarcastically, as he reached out and pulled Weiss into a one-armed hug.

Weiss had a slight tinge of a blush on her cheeks, before she pulled herself out of Ichigo's grip. "Don't think you can just hug me and I'll be okay with you being positively stupid!" She said, as she pointed a finger at the orange haired teen.

"Come on, Weiss. Cut him some slack." Ruby said, as she lightly slapped her hand against the white haired girl's shoulder.

Ichigo turned and saw Blake a few feet from him. He shifted and blushed a bit. "…Blake…" He said, as he glanced away nervously.

"Yeah, they took the fact about us moderately well." Blake said with a sigh, causing Ruby to glance away with an adorable glare, and Weiss to cross her arms.

"You could say it was, Cat-astrophic." Yang said with a grin.

Ichigo groaned, before he looked at the blonde girl. "What did a do to deserve this Pun-ishment?" He asked, before he had a small smirk.

Yang's eyes went wide and she gasped. "Aw, I'm so proud of you!" She announced, before she held her hand up. "Up top." She said.

Ichigo glanced away, but he gave her a high-five. A loud squeal echoed, before Ichigo was almost tackled to the ground, when Giselle jumped onto him from behind.

"Oh, I missed you so much!" Giselle announced with a smile on her face. "After this, we're going to have so much fun together!" She admitted.

"Let him go, you creep." Candice said with annoyance.

"You're just jealous." Giselle said with a smile, before she stuck her tongue out at the green haired Quincy.

"Like I'd be jealous of a zombie-fucker like you." Candice said, with Yang covering Ruby's ears.

"Can we not deal with this shit right now?!" Grimmjow yelled.

"The hollow's right, we have to stop Aizen before he commits Genocide." Uryū interjected, as he stepped forward. Grimmjow gave Uryū an annoyed look.

"Where's Captain Soifon?" Ukitake asked.

Before Ichigo could answer the building the group stood in shook violently. "She's ah…fighting Ulquiorra." He admitted, getting confused looks from some of the Shinigami and Fallen Angels in the group.

"The bitch that fucking kidnapped you." Bambietta said angrily. "Where the fuck is she?" She demanded.

"Like you could do anything to that monster." Weiss commented, as she crossed her arms and shook her head. "She took out, Ruby, Blake and myself with no trouble. It was only because of them…" She said, motioning to Ukitake, Momo and Nemu. "…That she left." She stated.

"We didn't come here to fight all of the Arrancar in this palace." Toshiro stated seriously. "We only came because we were instructed to help you. We can't go around hunting the Hollows in this place, especially if we need to concentrate all of our assets on stopping Aizen." He informed.

"So you're saying leave Soifon to fight Ulquiorra." Ichigo said with a frown. He wasn't sure they understood how powerful Ulquiorra was.

"She's a captain. She can take care of herself." Ukitake said.

"You're obviously overestimating your abilities." Ichigo said seriously, before he looked at Raynare and Mittelt in surprise. "What're you doing here?" He asked.

"Well everyone was saving you and we just wanted to be popular." Mittelt said innocently, as she had her hands behind her back and looked down. The Quincy girls glared at the petite blonde Fallen Angel.

"We were able to create a dimensional rift from Hell to here." Raynare admitted with a shrug. "And from what I can sense, it's still open." She said.

The Shinigami gave her a look. "It's against the laws to go into Hell." Ukitake stated.

"Well, if you want to stay in this shit-hole, by all means. Stay." Raynare said vindictively.

"Where exactly is this rift to Hell?" Ichigo questioned.

"Oh, it's over there." Mittelt said happily, as she pointed out towards the balcony of the room they stood in. the group turned and in the distance, they saw a giant black rift, which was illuminated by hell-fire.

"…How did we miss that?" Blake asked unsure.

"I have no idea…" Candice muttered, as she looked at the rift to Hell.

"I'm not leaving just yet." Ichigo admitted, causing the group to look at him.

"Why the hell not?!" Bambietta said loudly.

Before he could answer the group felt a titanic spiritual pressure appear, with some of the debris of the ceiling falling passed the balcony.

Uryū, Bambietta, Candice, Giselle, Rayner and Mittelt looked up towards the ceiling of Los Naches, and felt an immense spiritual pressure that boarded on something more and gave off the felling of Emptiness and Pointlessness.

Ichigo scowled. "That's why." He informed.

"We aren't going to let you go up there by yourself." Weiss stated seriously.

"…We need to split up…" A quiet voice muttered from Ichigo's side, causing the group to look down and saw Koneko was standing next to him. She was so quiet and petite that no one noticed she moved.

"What'd you mean?" Ichigo asked, looking down at his side.

Koneko turned and looked up at him with wide, adorable hazel eyes. "Ruby, Blake, Ice-Princess, Perverted Blonde-Bimbo, Dumb Exploding-Bimbo, Mr. Giant-man and four-eyes are exhausted and can't fight." She stated, not really knowing Chad's or Uryū's names, and not caring about Weiss', Yang's or Bambietta's. "The man with old-man hair and the kid with old man hair can't help us in this situation, along with their subordinates. We have to split up, only a small group of us can actually fight." She muttered.

"So…You, Giselle, Candice, Grimmjow, Raynare Mittelt and I can go up." Ichigo said with a shrug. It didn't matter to him who helped him or not.

"I am not okay with this!" Weiss stated with a scowl. "We do not leave and let someone else fight." She informed.

"Well, you'll have to Ice-Queen." Grimmjow said uncaringly, as he brushed passed her.

Ichigo looked at Nemu, Ukitake, Momo and Toshiro. "You guys think you can help my friends get to the Rift?" He asked.

"…It's do able." Toshiro replied.

"Of course Ichigo-sama." Nemu said with a bow of her head.

Ichigo stepped back, as Koneko stood closely by his side, with Giselle and Candice joining up with him. Raynare and Mittelt had smirks as they joined up with him.

"Ta-ta." Raynare sounded mockingly, as the smaller group split off from the larger one.

"The nerve of that bitch." Bambietta glowered out.

In Fake Karakura Town

"Ha-hahaha!" Freed laughed, as several Arrancar charged at him.

He held out his modified light swords, before he blocked a Zanpaktuo from an Arrancar and wacked him in the side of the face with the same sword he blocked it with. When the Arrancar stumbled to the side, Freed slashed his other blade at the back of the Arrancar's knee.

Freed turned as another Arrancar approached him. He held up his left sword and blocked the unique blade of the Hollow, before he rolled his other sword into a reverse grip and punched the Arrancar in the chest.

The Arrancar coughed and stumbled back, before Freed hooked his right sword behind the back of the hollow's leg and pulled it back. Before the Arrancar could react, Freed turned his other sword down wards and impaled the hollow in the thigh and dragged it back.

"Aah!" The Arrancar yelled and fell back.

Freed turned and engaged the other Hollows, with a wide grin on his face. He blocked another Zanpakuto with his modified light sword and pushed it up, before he slashed his other sword at the Hollow's stomach and his legs, causing him to fall back.

"Ha-haha! How do you like that? My Fancy Light swords were made to help me cut right into your hopes and dreams, haha!" Freed laughed out happily, as he slashed at another Arrancar's neck, only for it to grind against its Hierro. But Freed quickly thrust his other sword forward and impaled the hollow through his throat.

"It looks like you…" Freed began with a grin. "…Couldn't deep throat it." He commented, like he was trying to do a one-liner.

He turned and saw a giant Hollow his Resurrección form. The Arrancar opened his mouth and formed a giant a giant green Cero and fired it.

"Sweet baby Jesus!" Freed yelled, as he lunged out of the way of the giant Cero and crashed through a window of a building. The white haired teen ran through the corridors of the. "Oh Jesus, oh Jesus!" He yelled, as he ran, with the building collapsing behind him.

"Ohhh, dicks!" Freed said to himself, as he jumped out a window and landed on a shorter building. He rolled on the roof of it, before he quickly stood up and faced the giant Hollow that was chasing him.

Freed reached into his jacket and pulled out two unique looking silver modified IMI Desert Eagles. "Prepare for some, Bullet Delivery." He said, as he leveled the pistols at the giant Arrancar and fired several shots.

Several powerful explosions went off along the giant Hollow's chest, causing it to stumble back. "Haha, packs quite a punch, don't it?" Freed asked. "That's usually what happens when shoot .50 cal bullets. Each armor-piercing 12.7 millimeter rounds are jacketed with a casing of blessed Macedonian silver and tipped with a hollow point, which contains an explosive charge of pre-blessed mercury. They're so deadly and so Sexy! It's like fucking a girl with your pants on through your fly…" He explained, before he jumped back as the giant Arrancar slammed its hand down.

"Oh, oh, oh God forbid! I try to orgasm over my new fucking guns, you fuckin' Hussy!" Freed yelled angrily.

The Arrancar opened his mouth and charged a Cero, only for Freed to fire his weapons right at the hollow's mouth, creating a decent sized explosion with the cero destabilizing and exploding as well. "Welcome to the real world, Road Rules." Freed said, as he leveled his two pistols as the stunned Arrancar and fired. The high caliber projectiles tore through the Arrancar's eyes and exploded inside his head.

The headless Arrancar collapsed, with Freed scratching the side of his head with the barrel of his gun. "Jimmy Crack Corn and I cracked your head open." Freed said, making a one-liner. He blinked a few times and looked around and noticed he was surrounded by the Arrancar's he killed. "…I've got enough blood to start a tampon factory." He commented.

A blueish white blur flew at incredibly high velocities towards Aizen, causing the traitorous captain to turn and saw a teenager with dark silver hairs and blue eyes right in front of him. The teen had a pair of glowing dragon-like wings from his back, with his hand extended.

Aizen casually blocked the teen's hand with a finger, as a show of strength. "And, who are you?" Aizen asked curiously.

"Vali Lucifer and it was stupid of you not to dodge." Vali said coolly.

"And, why is that?" Aizen asked with some amusement, as he held the teen's hand back with a finger.

"Divide!" A voice announced, before the wings on Vali's back flared violently.

Aizen's eyes went wide and he flash stepped back, before he looked decently shocked. "Why so surprised, Shinigami-san?" Vali asked with a scowl. "I heard you're strong…I hope it hasn't been exaggerated." He commented, as his wings spread out.

A hollowfied Tōsen exploded in pure white-ish yellow light, before it dimmed with Kokabiel floating a good distance away with a sword of light in his hand and a grin on his face. He looked around, before he began to engage more of Barragan's Fraccion.

A distance away Azazel was casually floating a few meters away from Starrk and Lilynette. "You know, fighting isn't really my nature." Azazel admitted with a sigh.

Starrk rubbed the back of his neck and yawned. "Yeah." He said, before he was elbowed by Lilynette. "…What?" He asked.

"This dude and Ichigo work together, we don't have to fight…dumbass…" Lilynette muttered, getting Azazel's attention.

"The Quincy-hybrid boy?" Azazel asked curiously. He didn't meet the boy personally, but his subordinates seemed to like him.

"…Yeah…" Lilynette trailed off longingly, getting a weird look from Starrk.

"Ichigo told us the plan." Starrk admitted.

"…A plan?" Azazel asked with a grin.

"Oh yeah and it's a kickass one!" Lilynette admitted with a wide smile.

"Tell me about it." Azazel said, with Lilynette's grin being almost face splitting.

Freed looked up at the floating Shinigami and Arrancar, all of them in their battles, as well as the Fallen Angles attacking Hollows and Arrancar as well. "God Damn it, why can't I fly?" He asked.

He shook his head and rolled his eyes sarcastically. "So I was reading this story and one of the characters I hated, wished to fucking fly. It was horrible and I immediately unsubscribed." Freed complained, as he looked around, before he looked at an old man sitting on a throne, who was glowering down at him. "Go away! Nobody likes you." Freed yelled to Barragan.

"…You dare talk to me in such an insolent tone?!" Barragan demanded angrily.

Freed looked to his sides and then down towards himself. "Yep." He replied with a nod, before he grinned. "Now Go! And tell the others what happened here today, that the wonderful, Freed Sellzen slaughtered you fucking, Hollow-Devil, shitty ass, Hussies!" He announced, as he held his arms up.

After a few seconds, he lowered his arms and looked at the enraged Barragan with a tilted head. "Why aren't you running in fear, you shitty-old man?" Freed asked curiously. "And why are you all red and sweaty? Hehe-you're such a stupid goof." He commented with a grin. "And like all Goofs and Hussies, you all need to be shown a thing or two about love!" Freed announced, as he leveled a pistol at Barragan and held his sword in another. "…And by a thing or two about love, I mean violently dis…" He explained, before he lunged out of the way of Barragan's Cero. "…Oh, Dicks!" He announced, as he evaded the attack from Barragan.
