*~*~*~*

“Who the fuck are you?” Ichigo snarled as she looked at her, her eyes flashing with her dislike. The woman before them had soft brown hair that was smoothly parted down one side of her hair and she wore a simple pair of pants, a shirt and a vest, a red tie the only true color in her clothes.

“My name is Yoshino Soma. I was called in to see if I could take you out but seeing you, I’m wondering if my time is not being wasted. You’re a mere child,” she drawled. Reaching up, she rubbed at her bottom lip with one finger as the creature before them snickered.

“A child? Really? Is that the best insult that you can come up with?” Ichigo snorted as Urahara set her back down onto her feet. “Geeze. Let me tell ya, Grimmjow can come up with better insults and he uses ‘bastard’ way too much,” she teased even as she grasped Zangetsu, pulling him off of her back and holding it to her side.

“It seems as if our contact has failed to mention that she has a sharp mind and a sharp tongue behind her pretty face,” a handsome man said as he stepped up behind Yoshino. Looking over the new person, they could see that he was a large man, strong and well muscled. His red hair was neatly kept, a stripe of orange running down the middle of it, the length falling over a pair of headphones that rested around his neck. “I am Go Koga. And no insult to you, but I think I’m going to have to refuse to fight the young woman.”

“And unlike you, I have absolutely no problem with attacking her,” Yoshino said, looking over at her partner as she smirked. “Take care of the guy if you want.”

“Fine,” Koga snorted in return, shaking his head. Urahara simply smiled over at him, holding the still hidden Benihime over one shoulder. Ichigo snorted and moved away from the two, coming to stand before the odd creature.

“Goethe, destroy her,” Yoshino growled, her doll quickly firing several fireballs in Ichigo’s direction. Ichigo mentally thanked Yoruichi and Soi-Fon for their training as she dived out of the way, dodging out of the way as she used the walls and buildings to bounce around. Her eyes narrowed as a fireball came close to actually hitting her, instead singing her shirt sleeve.

“Hey, watch the clothes would ya? My sister bought this outfit for me,” Ichigo snarled as she patted the sleeve of her outfit. She had taken to wearing a simple training outfit on her soul while she was still in her body, having gone out to take care of a few hollows just to test herself and see where her training was.

“Oh, I’m so very sorry,” Yoshino said, sarcasm dripping from her voice as she rolled her eyes, Goethe coming at Ichigo with a roar of fire and anger. Jumping out of the way, Ichigo quickly attacked the doll face on, squeaking when instead of facing her head on, it broke apart and came back together a few feet away from her as she came to a skidding stop.

“The fuck was that?” Ichigo yelped, jumping back a few feet to get a few more feet between them, Zangetsu held before her as she narrowed her eyes.

“Unfortunately, you can’t directly attack my Goethe, you silly child,” Yoshino told her. A smile stretched over her lips, brittle and sharp. Ichigo glared at her but thought that no matter what the other woman thought, the smile was nothing but empty.

“I see,” she mused, shifting her hold on her zanpakuto, the other hand resting at her side as she prepared one of the few kido’s that she had learned during the training with Yoruichi. It was nothing more than a basic flash-bang kido, one that she called a flash bomb of power since it distracted, blinded, and deafened the opponent for a few moments.

She just hoped that it would be enough to give her a chance to get the jump on Yoshino, figuring that she was the one who was controlling Gothe.

Creating the kido ball, she tossed it, eyes closed as it flashed and went off, feeling the pulse of power that was released as the light flashed, allowing her to move quickly around the dazed doll. She snarled when she barely missed getting Yoshino with the tip of Zangetsu as the female moved out of her way, still rubbing at her eyes.

“You fucking bitch!” Yoshino cried out, shaking her head as her ears rang, Goethe flailing around a bit before it tossed a ball at what it hoped was Ichigo’s general direction. Ichigo dived out of the way, rolling her eyes with a snort.

“Yeah, heard that one before you,” Ichigo mused, attacking Yoshino again, trying to land a blow of some kind on her, her zanpakuto sweeping through the air as she smirked. “Though, it had come from Harribel and she didn’t particularly like me as my original gender.”

Slashing at her again, Ichigo smirked as Yoshino snarled, being forced to jump out of the way, a cut on her arm the only sign that one of Ichigo’s swings had landed a hit. She quickly covered it with her hand as she narrowed her eyes at her opponent. Ichigo was quick to dodge out of the way, lunging around the fireball from Goethe, scowling at having to move away from her real target.

Taking a chance to check on Urahara, she looked over at him and found that he was jumping around, dodging the attacks against him that came from a giant metal female-shaped creature. Shaking her head in amusement, Ichigo went back to her own fight, trying to find the weakness of the creature.

“Oh just fuck this shit! If that little slut wants you dead so badly, then she can do it herself,” Yoshino screamed as she and Goethe had to dodge out of the way of a Getsuga Tensho.

Koga and Yoshino came together, glaring at the two, Urahara glaring from under his hat while Ichigo took a chance to catch her breath.

“Who was it that sent you?” Urahara asked, eyeing the two warily as Ichigo walked up to stand next to him.

“Would you like to know that,” Koga snickered, the two narrowing their eyes, Ichigo preparing to send another Getsuga Tensho at them.

“Actually,” she mused, holding the power steady, “I can only think of one person that would really want to hurt me. But do you think that she would really be that hard up to actually kill me?” Ichigo mused, looking over to Urahara, eyebrow rising upwards.

“I have a bad feeling that her hatred of you has reached new levels since her lies came to light,” Urahara stated, sliding Benihime back into her cane shaped sheath. The two called their dolls back to them and took the chance to escape when Ichigo released the power and looked at her master. “Bya-kun will not be a very happy man when we give them this new information.”

“Oh yeah,” Ichigo huffed, placing Zangetsu onto her back again. “He’s been stressing out with all of the new reports that have been coming in about what she’s been doing to not only me, but everyone else.”

“That’s understandable considering the way that she is acting is smearing the Kuchiki name,” Urahara sighed, watching Ichigo moved and stretched out in an afte- fight attempt to relax herself. “Are you alright?” he asked.

“Yeah. A few times I met the ground harder than plan, so I’m bruised. I’ll probably be in pain for a bit of time, but I’m still fine,” Ichigo replied, brushing a bit of dirt off of her clothes with a frown. “I’ll be fine after I take some painkillers and a hot bath.”

“Unfortunately, the hot bath will have to wait for a bit, but I can get you the painkillers sooner rather than later,” Urahara drawled, running his eyes over the sluggishly bleeding cuts that were already healing over. “Come on, Ichi-chan, let’s go get a hold of the Seireitei and fill them in on our new foes.”

“Yeah, I can deal with that,” Ichigo sighed as she rubbed at her head with a sigh. The two headed back towards the shop, Ichigo slipping into her body and sitting up with a moan, the bruises appearing on her physical body as always. “Painkillers, Urahara. Now please.”

“Yeah, yeah, Ichi-chan,” Urahara chuckled as he moved to get said painkillers along with some fresh tea for her and the communication computer that he had created. “Here we go,” he chirped as he walked back in, handing over the tea and the pills. Ichigo flipped her phone closed as she took both with a smile.

“I just called dad. He’ll get everyone here in a bit, which will allow my pills time to kick in,” she said, taking the pillows before laying on the floor pillows with a groan. “He’ll call Shinji and get the Vizards to really kick up their patrol schedules with everyone.”

“That’s good,” Urahara hummed as he settled down with his own cup. They greeted everyone as they arrived, wondering what was going on. Once everyone had arrived and, as promised, he called the Seireitei so that they didn’t have to tell their story twice.

Urahara told them about the Bounts and what he knew about them, and who they had gone up against, along with who may have been the one to ask them to go after Ichigo. In the end, everyone agreed that Ichigo should head back to the Soul Society for the time being, at least until the Bounts made their next move. Everyone but Ichigo, Sado, and Ishida left soon after the meeting was over.

Ichigo finally was able to head to a hot bath, the two lovers sharing a look as Urahara smirked and went to start training down in the basement.
