*~*~*~*

Standing near one of the many gates, Yumichika filed his nails as he sat next Ichigo. She sighed softly and rested her elbow on her crossed knees, her other arm resting over her thigh. Ulquiorra was sitting on her other side while Ikkaku idly worked his way through a kata with Hozukimaru in his hands .

“If you shift your leg outwards, Ikkaku, you’ll find it easier. You’d end up knocked on your ass like that,” she called out, shaking her head. Ikkaku flipped her off but still shifted his leg, finding it easier to keep his balance with the extending of his arms and body. “Dipshit. Come train with me if you’re gonna try to steal my katas.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Ikkaku grunted at her, continuing to work his way through the movements. “When are they supposed ta arrive?”

Ichigo checked her watch. “In about ten minutes or so,” Ichigo said as she went back to watching Yumichika file and shape his nails. It was more interesting than watching Ikkaku butcher the kata that he was trying to perform. “You’ll know when they’re coming when you see a rip in the air.”

“And just why are we doing meet and greet duty today?” Yumichika asked her. He raised an eyebrow at the teasing smirked that was aimed his way by Ichigo.

“Because you dared to upset Unohana-sama and ended up with guard duty,” she drawled, making Yumichika scowl at her for a moment before shrugging.

“Ah well. At the very least, I’m getting out of paperwork,” the beauty obsessed male drawled.

“You do know that it will still be there right?” Ulquiorra asked, chuckling lowly at the outraged sound from Yumichika.

“Got ta love it,” Ichigo snickered, her eyes turning to the sky and following a rip that started to open in the blue. “Here they are. I think Kenpachi will be happy enough.”

“What do you mean by that?” Ikkaku asked, watching the rip expand with the other.

“Grimmjow enjoys a good spar against a strong opponent. I have no doubt that those two won’t pass up the chance to kick each other around the Eleventh for hours on end,” Ichigo stated as she stood up. Brushing her pants off, she smiled. She had chosen to wear a Mandarin collared shirt that had long sleeves that covered most of her hands and loose, comfortable pants. All around, she was very comfortable for the moment. Ulquiorra kept his eyes on her for the most part, enjoying the way she moved when she was feeling good.

“They should be dropping down in just a moment,” Ulquiorra stated, drawing his eyes away from the sway of Ichigo’s body.

“Oh goody,” Ichigo snorted, crossing her arms under her breasts as she watched. “Here they come,” she drawled. The first to drop down out of the rip was a woman with a high collared shirt that ended just under her nipples, her skin a darkly tanned color and her short, spikey hair a bleached blond color. She landed with a light bounce. “Hello, Harribel-san,” Ichigo greeted.

“Ichigo-san,” Harribel greeted with a nod of her head. “Becoming a female seems to agree with you and has allowed you to relax, Ichigo-san,” she said as she stepped to the side. The words caused Ichigo to smile and blush lightly.

“Yeah, and it took a week to get past the fluctuating hormones. But I got through it,” Ichigo hummed as Grimmjow dropped down next to Harribel, blue hair mussed. “Grimmjow.

“Hey, Ichigo-san,” Grimmjow greeted, Ichigo glaring over at him as she went stiff.

“You still have no right to call me anything but Kurosaki-san,” she stated, getting a feral grin from the Espada. “Who else is coming through?” she asked, looking up at the rip and ignoring Grimmjow.

“Stark and Lilynette is to come,” Harrible stated as she moved to stand next to Ulquiorra who had gone back to watching Ichigo. Grimmjow moved out of the way as a tall Espada with shoulder length brown hair and a jawbone that curled around his neck dropped to the ground, yawning. A short female wearing a simple, if not a bit small outfit followed him, her hollow hole surrounded by the white fragments of her mask on her face.

“Stark, Lilynette-chan, welcome to the Seireitei. Everyone, meeting Madarame Ikkaku, the third seat of Eleventh Division, and his friend, the fifth seat of the same division, Ayasegawa Yumichika,” Ichigo drawled. “Yumichika, Ikkaku, this is Stark Coyote and Lilynette. Stark is the First Espada and Lilynette is his Fraccion. This is also Harribel Tia and Jaegerjaquez, the Third and Sixth Espada respectively.”

“Grimmjow is strictly here to play as back up against the Bounts. Stark-san and I are both here to settle a temporary truce between Seireitei and Los Noches,” Harribel told Ichigo, getting a nod.

“Aizen did send a letter to warn us that he wouldn’t be coming and why you two were coming,” Ichigo assured her, waving to the buildings. “Follow us please.” Leaving the hill, bounding over the buildings and through the air, they headed for the First division where Unohana waited.

Walking up to the office door, Ichigo knocked before rocking on her feet.

“Enter,” Unohana called, Ichigo pushing the door open and walking into the office. “Ah, Aizen’s Espada have arrived. Good. Welcome,” she greeted and stood up to move around her desk. Once the introductions had been done, they settled down around her desk with tea, discussing just what had been planned out and where the Espada would be in correlation to helping with the Bounts.

“And where will we be staying between the fights?” Harribel asked as she placed her teacup down onto the desk.

“Harribel-san, you, Stark-san, and Lilynette-san will be staying in the Third Division. Kira-fukutaicho will be taking care of the three of you while Grimmjow-san has accommodations at the Eleventh. I believe that he will enjoy it best there,” Unohana said. She pulled out a sheath of papers and placed it down before her. “Now, as for the temporary treaty.”

“Aizen-san is very interested in coming back to the Seireitei eventually, but for the moment he would just enjoy being able to go back and forth with his people,” Stark said, yawning around his words.

“It sounds as if he wants to move things along faster than before,” Ichigo drawled as Yumichika shaped her nails.

“He does actually. Said something about wanting to see the last of the rot being cut out first-hand,” Stark drawled, stretching with a groan. Ichigo chuckled as Unohana smiled her mysteries once more.

“The starting treaty that I have before me states that any of them will be welcomed to the Seireitei as long as they have sent warning at least a day before so that we may clean out the rooms they will be using. And so that we can set up watch. This, of course, will go both ways,” Unohana said. “We would follow the same rules during any time spent in Hueco Mundo and Los Noches.”

Harribel reached out and drew the file over to her, reading just what had been written out with Stark reading over her shoulder. Both of the Espada’s could see Ulquiorra touch with how the give and take between the two words was worded. Nodding in agreement, Harribel signed at the bottom.

“Wonderful. I shall send a copy to Aizen-san to read and sign. For now though, Ichigo-san will show you to the Third and the Eleventh divisions. From there, you shall find guides from the Second division to show you around and to keep an eye on you,” Unohana told them. Ichigo signed the treaty as a witness before she signed the treaty herself. “I do hope that you enjoy your time here and that you are able to rest well tonight. The fights begin tomorrow.”

Once the treaty had been filed away, the group left, being led by Ichigo and dropping off the new guests at their divisions. As soon as Ichigo and Ulquiorra had arrived at Rangiku’s home, she had curled up close to him with a sigh, smiling as a long-fingered hand stroked over her side.
