Disrupted🪭

35 - Wouldn't You Like To Know Everything?

Ichigo hid behind a rock and breathed heavily as his Hollow mask broke off and fell to his feet. He had been fighting the transformed Byakuya for hours it seemed and he had no effect on him whatsoever. He had no idea that Byakuya's Hollow state would be almost as strong as his own when he didn't have control of himself. Byakuya let out a yell and Ichigo looked around the rock to see where he was.

"Damn... This is impossible..." he grumbled.

"Hey, Little Ichigo!" someone yelled at him from the opening in the top of the underground training course.

Ichigo looked up and saw the pink and purple haired chick looking down at him. She waved to him with a grin.

"I've got something for you!" she yelled.

Ichigo didn't say anything but was taken a little aback when he saw a flash of orange hair falling into the area and something else coming down after it. Byakuya heard it too and turned to it. Ichigo watched as the figure in a shihakusho sat up and touched their head, looking around. He realized it was Orihime and narrowed his eyes at the other figure. Orihime looked around and then looked at the figure beside her and seemed to gasp, pulling away from it.

Suddenly, a dense Spiritual Pressure was emitted that blasted some of the stones away. Ichigo had to brace himself for the impact of the reiatsu when the second figure stood up. He recognized his Hollow form and cursed silently. Not only did he have to fight Byakuya's Hollow form, it looked like he was going to have to fight his own more powerful self and protect Orihime from being hurt. He gripped his sword tighter and stood up, walking toward the trio as Byakuya and Captain Kurosaki seemed to lay eyes on each other.

"I've told you everything I know." Osaka growled, struggling to get out of her binds. "Let me go!"

"That would be out of the question." Mayuri said, going to his monitors to look at the cameras.

"Come on! I told you what I know! Throw me a bone here!" Osaka growled, kicking her feet angrily.

"Tachuri, please tell your friend that it's quite rude to demand things." Urahara said, leaning over to look at a monitor.

"You're damned right it's rude! Just like you're making me do this against my will! Untie me! Untie me or I'll use my-"

Tachuri shoved a gag into her mouth and sighed, leaning on the side of one of the machines.

"I'm sure you've noticed that both of the Ichigos have disappeared." She said.

"Not disappeared, just not within our sights. If they had completely disappeared, their reiatsus would not be detectable at all. Although the older Kurosaki seems to be in his Hollow form."

"Captain Kuchiki as well."

"Indeed. It seems that they got what they were trying to get... But why did they need Ichigo?"

"Urahara-san!" someone yelled.

Urahara sat up straight and watched as the person ran to him. He blinked in confusion when he saw that it was Kohana. He stood up as she stopped before him, breathing shallowly and leaning on her knees.

"Kohana... What in the world..."

"The... The leader of the Cakurahita tried to recruit me as one of their own but I escaped them. I met up with Little Ichigo and we went to go tell ani about the things they were going to do but we got ambushed. I just escaped because everyone was too busy watching a fight below them. Urahara-san, they released my father's Hollow as well as ani's and Little Ichigo is down there too with Orihime. There's something wrong with anithough..."
