75 It's Not Over Yet

A day later, Ichigo was standing in front of Yoshi who was tied up to a chair.

They were staring at each other in silence. Ichigo was studying her features intently.

Yoshi is a woman of medium height and slightly dark skin with dark green-teal hair that reaches the middle of her back, falls over the far left side of her face in a stomach-length bang, and has a slight part in the middle. She has pale green eyes with thin and furrowed eyebrows as well as a flat mouth.

She also wears a sleeveless purple qipao that is slit up to her thigh and fastened at the front with several thin braids over beige pants with black shoes.

Ichigo pulled out a black folding chair and unfolded it in front of her. He sat on it and picked up a small bowl on the ground. The bowl was full of white colored porridge and had a spoon in it.

Ichigo grabbed the spoon and scooped up some porridge. "Here." Ichigo muttered and held up the spoon in front of her. Yoshi looked at him. She smirked and spat at him.

Ichigo dodged the spit that was aiming for his left eye. The spit landed on the ground behind him. Yoshi growled angrily.

Ichigo chuckled. "I'm not a stranger to these tricks of yours, Yoshi-san. Are you going to eat this or not?" Ichigo asked her. Yoshi didn't answer, instead she just glared at him. Ichigo gritted his teeth and put the spoon back in the bowl.

He raised his right hand and grabbed her throat tightly. Yoshi made choking sounds.

"If you don't want me to shove all of this porridge down your mouth then just let me feed you, bitch. " Ichigo growled at her. Yoshi who is a freaky masochist (true fact btw) started moaning in pleasure.

"Harder!~ Anh!~" Yoshi screamed in ecstasy. Ichigo quickly released his grip on her throat.

"No. Not until you finish the porridge." Ichigo bargained. He swore Yoshi pouted a little which was out of character for her. From what he knew from watching the anime, he knew that she was extremely bloodthirsty, sadistic,, ruthless in battle, power hungry and is obsessed with fighting.

'Whatever. I'll just roll with it. ' Ichigo thought to himself. He proceeded to start feeding her the porridge. Yoshi reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the small scoop of porridge.

"What does life mean to you?" Ichigo asked Yoshino who was tied up with ropes and was sitting on a chair. Yoshino looked at him and frowned.

"I don't know, Ichigo." Yoshino whispered. Ichigo could literally sense the despair flowing out of her. Yoshino had completely lost all hope in life. She feels lonely because of her immortality and wants nothing more than to just finally die.

But Ichigo wasn't going to allow someone as beautiful as her to just die a stupid death. He's going to give her life meaning. He will make her want to live.

Ichigo pulled out a foldable black chair. He unfolded it and sat down in front of her.

"Then how about we find that out together, Yoshino?"

Another day has passed, Urahara, Ichigo, Orihime and Yoruichi were in the living room sitting around each other. They all had serious faces on them.

"Fucking hell. That Reiatsu. He's still alive, Ichigo. " Urahara muttered and looked at Ichigo who had a serious face on.

"I thought I killed him in the flames." Ichigo muttered. He looked at Orihime.

"Let's go finish the mission." Ichigo told her. Orihime nodded and stood up. Ichigo looked over her. She was wearing a pink shirt and jeans.

"I think this outfit isn't suited for combat, Orihime." Ichigo chuckled. Orihime blushed a little and opened a duffle bag beside her.

"Good thing I asked Uryū to make this for me." Orihime took out an outfit. She looked at Ichigo.

"I'm gonna go change." Orihime told him and went to another room. Ichigo looked at Urahara and Yoruichi who shrugged.

They waited patiently for the sliding door to open. When it did, Ichigo was immediately head over heels.

Orihime was wearing an outfit that was similar to the Arrancar Outfit. It was perfect for her. She smiled shyly and twirled around, showing her dress.

"How do I look, Ichigo?" Orihime asked him. Ichigo smiled.

"You're beautiful, Orihime." Ichigo complimented. Orihime smiled.

'This might be the only time I like what you did, Uryū. ' Ichigo thought to himself.

Ichigo got up and a golden glow covered him. After the glow died down, it revealed Ichigo wearing his Shinigami outfit. They were matching.

"We'll be setting off now." Ichigo looked at Urahara and Yoruichi. Yoruichi smirked.

"You guys look like an actual couple now with those matching outfits you have there." Yoruichi teased. Ichigo snickered.

" You wanna wear matching outfits as well?" Ichigo asked her. Yoruichi snorted.

" As if I would, strawberry. " The feline grumbled. Ichigo chuckled and intertwined his hand with Orihime's.

" Let's go, Orihime. " Ichigo told her. She nodded and they disappeared from the room.

Yoruichi sighed and looked at Urahara who was walking away from the room. "Where are you going, Kisuke?" She asked him. Urahara looked back at her and smiled mischievously

"I was just going to make Orihime an outfit that is a thousand times better than Uryū's. Do you want to help me with the design, Yoruichi?" Urahara asked her. Yoruichi smirked deviously.

" Count this kitty in, Kisuke. "

On their way to the location of Kariya and Ichinose, his right hand man. They were joined by Uryū who was wearing his Quincy outfit.

"Greetings, Kurosaki, Inoue-san." Uryū greeted. Orihime smiled and waved at him.

"Hello, Ishida-san! Thanks for making me the outfit by the way!" Orihime thanked him. Uryū smiled a little.

" I'm glad you like it, Inoue-san." He muttered. He looked at Ichigo who smirked at him.

" You knew what you were doing, Uryū. Do you know how much I can't stop staring at her now?" Ichigo told him. Uryū raised an eyebrow and looked at him with an amused face.

"I don't know what you mean, Kurosaki. You're the one who's being a pervert and staring at her. I only made the outfits based on what she wanted " Uryū teased. Ichigo sighed.

" Whatever. Let's go find this motherfucker." Ichigo brought them back to the point.

.

Ichigo and his group were running into a cave system.

"Ars you sure this is the right place?" Uryū asked him.

" I'm positive. The pressure they're emitting isn't really hard to miss." Ichigo answered while taking the lead.

"What did he say when he interrogated you, Ishida-san? " Orihime asked him while keeping up with them.

"Before you guys arrived and saved the day, he explained every part of his plan to me and kept asking me to join. Obviously I refused or I wouldn't be here with you guys right now. " Uryū answered truthfully.

" Does his plan include invading Soul Society?" Ichigo asked him. Uryū nodded.

" Yes. They want to create a Bount version of the Senkaimon to get there. With my powers, it can grant it Reishi converting properties." Uryū explained. Ichigo nodded.

" Where's Chad by the way? " Orihime asked them.

" Chad has been isolating himself in some secret jungle created by Urahara-san. He says he wants to get stronger and understand his powers even more." Uryū answered her question immediately.

"I didn't know that." Ichigo grumbled.

"It's a secret place for a reason, Kurosaki. " Uryū grumbled back.

"So that's why he hasn't come to school for a week now. I thought he was kidnapped by aliens." Orihime muttered out. Ichigo chuckled.

"Aliens can only dream to successfully kidnap Chad. That guy is an absolute unit." Ichigo told her.

" I guess you're right. " Orihime giggled. Right after the conversation ended, they arrived in front of Kariya who was standing in front of a giant golden portal. It was the Bount Senkaimon.

"Uryū. Fire your Heilig Pfeil into it. Don't ask why just do it quickly. I'll explain everything later." Ichigo muttered. Uryū sighed and fired a Heilig Pfeil into the Bount Senkaimon, granting the portal Reishi-converting properties.

Kariya looked at them. "Oh? So you have decided to side with me then?" Kariya commented. Uryū snorted.

"As if. I only did this so that we could defeat you in Soul Society instead. The Human World is too fragile for beings like us around." Uryū clarified. Kariya was amused.

" How did you survive, Kariya. I thought you died in that inferno. " Ichigo asked him. Kariya snorted.

" As if that puny attack could kill a Bount that easily. I protected myself with a wind barrier. When you were gone, I immediately picked up Ichinose who also survived and got away from the place. " Kariya explained with arrogance clear in his voice.

"You're going to regret surviving, Kariya." Ichigo replied back. Kariya who was amused by this, laughed.

"Sure sure. Let's go, Ichinose." Kariya ordered and they passed through the Bount Senkaimon. Once the portal closed, Uryū looked at Ichigo.

"Alright, Kurosaki. You better tell me why we let our targets escape.....
