Karakura town.

flying through the air of Karakura town, Ikkaku and Yumichika both held one hand on their Zanpakutō. Both of them looked on with an intense look, unsure yet determined look on their faces.

"Ikkaku wait just a moment", Yumichika said coming to a stop. He brushed a strand of hair that was already in place as if it wasn't and had actually fallen out of place. 

Ikkaku grumbled, "Come on Yumichika, if we don't get there in time captain Suzuki could very well finish the battle himself, just like he and captain Hitsugaya did before. Don't tell me your scared or something"?

Yumichika shook his head, "Think Ikkaku, if we rush into the fray we miss a vital opportunity to observe captain Suzuki's abilities and his Zanpakutō's as well. If we have a better understanding of how he fights, when push comes to pull, we'll be able to better handle him".

Ikkaku looked shocked by his friends words and shook his head, "I'm going to pretend I didn't just hear you sound like an conspiring coward. You know we of squad eleven don't behave like that. We don't hide in the shadows and study our enemy. We rush into battle head first, our swords raised prepared to either win or die. If captain Zaraki heard you talk like that, he'd have you skewered on his blade".

Yumichika sighed and raised his hand up, rested it under his chin and closed his eyes. "While I'd normally agree with you, I have to disagree this time. Our enemy isn't some run of the mill hollow or soul reaper", He opened his eyes, "Ikkaku were talking about a captain. A captain I might add who easily broke your arm in a blink of an eye. Furthermore his Zanpakutō's ability is still a mystery for the most part and a dangerous one at that. Let us also not forget squad three's track record with powerful and equally traitress captains. If we let our guard down he could be a problem, and if it happens under Squad eleven's watch we'd be a bigger laughing stock then squad four".

Ikkaku sighed and scratched his bald head, "I mean when you put it that way you have a point. Fine we'll watch and observe but if he gets wind or catches us we intervein and make up some excuse".

"Hmm, if you insist Ikkaku, now lets hurry before the battle ends".

They were about to leave when a certain red headed lieutenant of squad ten called them on their soul pager.

"Ikkaku, Yumichika don't move I'm on my way to give support. Don't bother arguing either, I have orders from my captain to assist".

"Fine", Yumichika said shacking his head, but meet us at the scene we'll fill you in on our plan to-".

He was cut off when a sudden burst of spiritual pressure surrounded them. The pressure felt almost as strong as captain Zaraki's but held a much more sinister feel to it. A feeling only a hollow could give off. 

"we better hurry, Yumichika said rushing off towards the location.

A mile or so from the shopping area in the middle of a neighbor hood stood two Arrancar in the air. Both men stopped a few feet away and noticed the two were squabbling.

"Hmm, their the ones who showed up last time. The lanky one is named Hugo if I'm not mistaken. He's able to conceal his spiritual pressure and if your not paying close enough attention even his presence. The large hairy ape like man is Marco. Unfortunately we don't have any intel on him. He simply appeared to stop the other one from releasing his sword last time", Yumichika said eyeing the two who were clearly too busy fighting with their irritating voices to notice either soul reaper.
