Chapter 32: Orders... And A Day Out?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Y/n pov*

So here I am sitting in my room once again scribbling down my notes for the next battle, its been a couple days since the last fight and I've heard from Yoruichi and Soifon that the Bount arc is coming to a close.

Yet here I am barely half way from getting albedo back.

I need to pick up the pace now.

Quickly changing into my soul reaper outfit I grab both my swords from off my bed before sitting down getting into a meditation pose, slowing my breathing I activate-

*Tap tap*

Bursting from my spot I draw semiramis with my eyes still closed, pointing the tip to the throat of my opponent I open my eyes... There standing in my window is Ichigo kurosaki, nonchalant as ever staring me down even with my sword to his neck.

Ichigo:Yo.

Quickly sheathing my sword I lower my defences before replying.

Y/n:Yo.

Hopping from my window he looks around the room with a grimice.

Ichigo:It's, been a while. Haven't seen you since the beach party.

Y/n:Yea I'm sorry, been... Wrapped up in this.

Pointing to all my notes scattered around my room he nods.

Ichigo:How long exactly have you been doing this?

Y/n:Since I've properly took a break? 3 days.

Ichigo:Damn, you need to get out more.

Y/n:Dude you trained in a cave by yourself for two days, which should've taken three by the way.

Ichigo:Well this is different...

How? How the hell is this different.

Ichigo:Look, no one's in danger, you can take a break.

Y/n:Albedo's in danger.

Ichigo:I... Hmm, okay I wasn't told that.

Wait what?

Y/n:What do you mean told?

Ichigo:Ah.... Fuck.

Y/n:No, who told you?

Ichigo:.... Rangiku... And toshinori...

Oh god. Cutting him off I ask.

Y/n:And who have they told-

Ichigo:Every one, literally everyone. Mostly Rangiku told people.

Wait everyone.

Y/n:Even Yamamoto?

Ichigo:Yup, that's actually why I'm here.

Quickly sitting down I stare at him.

Y/n:So let me guess, Yamamoto wants to see me?

Ichigo:Yup, now cmon he's waiting.

Y/n:Dammit all right. Let's take the front door like a normal person.

Nodding he follows me out the door before he takes me to one of those folding screen portal things, I always forget if these things are connected to the senkaimon or if they're just how they travel long distances.

*Timeskip*

Well this is....intimidating.

Standing across from me is head captain yamamoto, the man standing behind a simple wooden desk that appears to be the only furniture in his office. The room is remarkibly simple, with a japanese temple astethic, wooden floors, exposed supports and a large balcony looking over the entire soul society.
