Court Hearing - Off to the First World!

Sighing tiredly in her apartment as she prepared a kettle of water for tea, Yoruichi Shihoin, the Goddess of Flash as she's often called, couldn't help but think about a certain strawberry blonde Substitute Soul Reaper that was so unfairly imprisoned. She didn't understand why Kisuke and the rest of Ichigo's friends, and even the boy's own father, would just turn on him like they did. It's like their personalities did a complete 180 and Ichigo went from being their best friend to their worst enemy. After that happened, Yoruichi decided to move out of Kisuke's shop and instead got herself a small apartment in a secluded part of Karakura Town.

Living with her are Ururu, the only member of Kisuke's little group besides herself that didn't betray Ichigo in his time of need, along with Ichigo's twin little sisters, Yuzu and Karin. The poor dears no longer felt safe living with their father for fear of him turning on them next since they can also see spirits. Or the possibility of the Central 46 ordering them to be turned into living weapons for the Soul Society.

With such rational fears as those, how could Yoruichi possibly turn the two girls away?

And while Yuzu does indeed handle a majority of the cooking (while teaching her a thing or two about cooking), she and Karin are being trained by Yoruichi in a much safer way than what Kisuke would have done. He'd likely try his half-assed tactic of having them go through Hollowfication to gain their Soul Reaper powers instead of trying a safer route.

She's still gotta give that stupid Hat n' Clogs a good kick in the balls for pulling that stunt on Ichigo.

She smiled fondly as she remembered when she first revealed to him that she's not just a talking house cat. The look on his face when he saw her human form, she almost thought for sure that he would've been like any other hormone driven teenage boy.

That is until he screamed at her to put some clothes on.

She may have teased him about his prudish nature as she was getting dressed at the time, but she was genuinely surprised that Ichigo hadn't taken the opportunity to eye her up like any other boy his age probably would have. And she wasn't lying when she said that she had spent so much time in her cat form that she completely forgot that she's supposed to wear clothes.

Still, over time, as she and Ichigo began to grow and learn together as teacher and student, the werecat began to develop funny feelings for the strawberry blonde Soul Reaper. At first she thought she was just going through a simple schoolgirl crush. After all, Ichigo was quite handsome to her back then. But as she repeatedly witness his selfless nature and his willingness to go through great lengths to protect those precious to him, Yoruichi felt that simple crush grow until it was full blown love.

She had planned on confessing to Ichigo after they defeated Aizen, but after that stunt the new Central 46 pulled with imprisoning Ichigo since they see him as such a threat to their power, she never got that chance.

And ever since that incident, Yoruichi, along with the three children currently in her care, have remained hidden away for fear that the Central 46, or even their ex friends, might turn on them like they did Ichigo. But Yoruichi does have inside help. Soi-Fon and Captain Unohana along with Mayuri's lieutenant Nemu have all agreed to watch over Ichigo and bide their time until they can set him free. Unohana and Nemu act as Ichigo's medics while Soi-Fon gathers information for Yoruichi to use against the Central 46 and to possibly put them out of power.

"Were it so easy." she mumbled to herself.

"Oh, but it is indeed that easy." said a voice Yoruichi doesn't recognize.

She whirled around ready to defend herself and the others if need be, and found herself looking at a strange man dressed as a scientist. Although, she can clearly see that he's not from that deranged lunatic Mayuri's department. In fact, he actually looks quite peaceful despite the swirling blue portal behind him.

"Hello, Miss Shihoin. I am Professor Paradox, and I have come to request your assistance with a legal matter."

Yoruichi raised an eyebrow at that request. She doesn't usually tell anyone about this, but even when she was the head of the Shihoin clan she studied extensively on legal matters. So one could say that she's qualified to be a lawyer. Only Soi-Fon was ever told about this.

"What sort of legal matters are you talking about?" Yoruichi asked.

"I am attempting to have Ichigo Kurosaki freed from his unjust imprisonment. I managed to get him a trial set up in two weeks from today and require a good lawyer for him, and I know that you are the best one in the business and can gather the appropriate means of proving his innocence and providing information that can turn the tide of the upcoming battle." Paradox explained. "So what do you say? Can I count on you to help Ichigo in his time of need?"

For a moment upon hearing Paradox's reason, Yoruichi's eyes widened. Before they narrowed and she smirked like the cat that ate the canary.

"If it means bringing down those arrogant bastards and bitches on the Central 46 and giving Ichigo back his freedom, then I'm all for it! Just give me the details, and I'll get right to work!"

Paradox reached into the portal behind him and pulled out a rather thick three ring binder, and handed it to the purple haired woman.

"Inside that folder is information that should prove most useful to you, miss Shihoin. I shall see you again in two weeks' time. Ta ta, for now." Paradox said.

Stepping through the portal, the Time Walker left the apartment of the Shihoin woman as he knows that Ichigo's case is in capable hands. As for Yoruichi, she immediately rushed to her room to prepare her emergency lawyer work supplies. She has everything in order except one crucial detail. And that's (to her) her choice of necktie.

Does she want to use the one with light up pineapples? Or perhaps the one with little kitty cats on it? Also light up.

Decisions, decisions…

*...With Ichigo…*

Paradox arrived on Ichigo's new ship and went straight to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber as he knows that his new charge will be training in there. Upon arriving in the Chamber, he found Ichigo training as one of his aliens. The transformation that Ben Tennyson calls Humungousaur. But this version of him is actually quite a bit different.

Humungousaur himself is actually an alien species known as a Vaxasaurian. Native to the planet Terradino, Humungousaur looks like a cross between a human and a dinosaur with features from several different species all in the one alien. When it's Ben who's transformed into Humungousaur, he has hard, brown skin with a beige underbelly, and green eyes to reflect the energy of the Omnitrix he wears. He stands at twelve feet tall, but with his powers, he can grow up to a grand total of sixty feet tall at will. He has a chin that's a little on the big side, and his nostrils are located on his forehead like a Brachiosaurus. He wears a pair of briefs with a white waistband and a green and black sash going down from his left shoulder down to his left side.

Unlike Ben's version of Humungousaur, Ichigo's version, which would have been Albedo's, has darker skin that looks almost brown, creamy white underside, and a red Omnitrix sash across his chest in the opposite direction of Ben's Humungousaur.

Ichigo roared as he threw another punch at one of the rocks that must have appeared in the chamber from a rockslide. The impact caused the stone to shatter on impact, scattering shards of rock and dust. Ichigo looked towards the door to the time chamber and changed back in a flash of red as his Omnitrix timed out.

"Hello Professor. Where've you been?" Ichigo asked.

"I've been out getting a court date set up for your trial, Ichigo. Miss Yoruichi Shihoin will be acting as your lawyer for it." Paradox explained.

"I see. And when exactly is it going to be?" asked Ichigo, glad to know that someone he can trust will be his lawyer.

"It's in two weeks. This will give you ample time to train with the Omnitrix in the Time Chamber. I've slowed down the time flow so that two weeks in the chamber will be equal to half a year before I set the flow of time within this room back to its natural course." Paradox explained.

"Then I'd best get to it. Time's awastin'!"

With that, Ichigo got back to training as Paradox looked on with a proud smile. Something tells him that this is the beginning of a beautiful new history full of twists, turns, and love conflicts.

And he can't wait to see it all unfold!

On a side note, I'm doing some artwork for the first world that Ichigo and Yoruichi are going to visit. Since they'll be visiting the world of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, I've decided to create some artwork depicting them as lions from that franchise. It will be on my DeviantArt gallery by September 21st at the latest, so be sure to check it out. I think you might like what I've done with them.

Anyway, I'll see you all in the next chapter!
