"Who are you?" Ichigo asked as he and the rest of the Nueva Espada stood out of their seats
"Easy, easy" he said as he waved his hands "I just wanna join"
Ichigo carefully studied the man, he wore a black shirt and pants with red lining along with a pair of black boots, a white yakuta with blue swirl patterns sloppily draped over his left shoulder, a wooden sword sheathed in his blue obi
But most striking of all was his wavy silver hair
"Who are you?" Ichigo asked again as he began to approach him
"An Arrancar" he stated
"Prove it"
He proceeded to tug his collar down to reveal the small hole at the top of his pectorals
"What can you do?"
"My hobbies include eating Sugar and I can sleep with my eyes open"
The meeting room fell quiet
"What?" Chad asked
"Why weren't you at the gathering of the Arrancar when I inherited Las Noches?"
"I was in the world of the living" he said as he began to pick in his ear
"Devouring Souls?" Harribel asked
"No, buying Shonen Jump"
…
"Hey, if you guys know if they're any convenience stores in Hueco Mundo, give me a heads up."
"Give me an actual answer this time" Ichigo grumbled "Who. Are. You?"
"My name is Gintoki…Gintoki Sakata" he stated
…
"I see…welcome then" Ichigo said "As of now, you have no rank but you can change that in the future."
"Just like that?" Gintoki asked "Wow, I though I was going to go through some assault course/trial thing would take up the rest of the chapter"
"Rest of the what?" Ichigo asked with a raised eyebrow
"Never mind" Gintoki said with a wave of his hand "Just an F.Y.I, I have Hypoglycaemia, so I need to eat something sweet now and again, and I'll be out on Wednesday Mornings buying JUMP in the world of the living"
…
"I regret this already" Ichigo muttered
"It may be tough now, but the worst is yet to come, keep that in mind and you'll be fine"
DAY 8
8 DAYS TO THE INVASION
Steel ricocheted off steel as the two Zanpakuto's clashed
Ichigo growled as his Tensa Zangetsu grinded against Ulquiorra's Murciéalgo
"Your strike is weak" the place Arrancar noted "Why are you holding back?"
"I'm not!" Ichigo snapped back
"Then is this truly the extent of your strength?" Ulquiorra asked "I heavily doubt it"
"Shut up!" Ichigo snapped back as he pulled his blade away and swung back, colliding with Ulquiorra's zanpakuto once again.
"Is it your emotions getting the better of you?" The Arrancar asked "You're supposed to be out leader, The King to save us from the dark and this is the best you can do?"
"Shut up!" Ichigo snapped back "Don't make me transform!"
"Into that thing?" Ulquiorra asked "You've used it twice and you have no idea how to activate it, let alone control it. How can I possibly abide to that feeble threat?"
