Chapter 3 Ichigo and Rukia; The Soul Reaper Bond of Love
"Alright Ichigo after all the years I've known you it seems you do have the ability to master high level Kidō techniques the problem is I'm not sure which spell you should start you off with" said Rukia thinking.
"Why not start me off with that technique Renji uses a lot, Shakkahō wasn't it?" said Ichigo in a curious tone.
"Sure lets gie it a go here's how you do it: "Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hadō #31 Shakkahō, Red Flame Cannon!!" yelled Rukia releasing the ball of red energy which destroyed a small rock formation.
"I guess it's time for me to give it a shot" said Ichigo extended his hand
"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hadō # 31 Shakkahō, Red Flame Cannon!!" yelled Ichigo releasing a larger energy ball which demolished a good chunk of the back wall.
"Very nice Ichigo lets see if you can do it without the incantation like this Hadō #31 Shakkahō, Red Flame Cannon!!" yelled Rukia releasing the ball of red energy once more at the same rock formation .
"Alright let's see Hadō #31 Shakkahō, Red Flame Cannon!!" yelled Ichigo releasing the same spell with just as much force as the last time.
"Wow Ichigo I'm not going to lie I'm a little shocked" said Rukia as she began to blush in embarrassment.
"What about Rukia? Is it that I've mastered both ways of Kidō casting so fast or is something else wrong?" asked Ichigo.
"Well you see Ichigo when you discard the incantation the spell becomes weaker but it seems in your case the spell has lost barely any of its strength" explained Rukia.
"I'm not complaining but I wonder why that is?" wondered Ichigo.
"My guess is despite that fact that your inner hollow's been extracted from your body, small amounts of it's spiritual power still remain in your system and if that's the case then there's a good chance we'll be able to finish the Kidō training regimine I have planned without going through the spirit chant portion  with you" explained Rukia.
"So you're saying there's a good chance this training regiment will be done in half the time since it looks like I've nearly mastered Kidō without the incantation" said Ichigo puzzled.
"Pretty much but it still has to be tested so this next one is a Hado spell like the last it's also one of my brother's favourites, it's name is Byakurai, I'm pretty sure he used this among other spells against you when you fought him on Sokyoku Hill" explained Rukia.
"Ya come to think of it that technique does ring a few bells I'm pretty sure he impaled me in the shoulder with it" said Ichigo grumbling.
"Hahaha well now it's time to see if you can use it" said Rukia laughing.
"Ya ya just show me the spell" said Ichigo pouting.
"Alright here it is Hadō #4 Byakurai" said Rukia pointing to the sky while firing a stream of lightning from her finger.
"Alright here I go" said Ichigo pinting to the sky while holding his arm.
"Hadō# 4 Byakurai!!" said Ichigo firing a thin stream of lightning to the ceiling.
"So this is what the two of you are doing I should've known that the moment Ichigo became a Captain you guys woluld be doing some kind of Kidō, training" said a mysterious but familiar voice.
"You know I'm starting to think this is your favourite place to infiltrate Renji" said Ichigo as the Lieutenant of Squad 6 appeared.
"And I'd like to clarrify something Renji, on an official note me and Ichigo aren't official Captains yet since we still have yet to go through the inauguration ceremony" said Rukia.
"So for the moment your just fill ins that's good to know" said Renji smiling.
"What are you doing here Renji?" asked Ichigo annoyed.
"I'm here to deliver a message from Head Captain Yamamoto" said Renji handing a letter to Rukia.
"What is it?" asked Ichigo.
"All Captains are to report the Squad 1 Barracks for an Emergency War Meeting" said Rukia with a slight hint of terror in her voice.
"Well I guess training will have to be put on hold" said Ichigo leaving.
"But Ichigo we can't coordinate properly with the other Captains until I've got you up to their level in all aspects of combat!!" said Rukia distressed.
"It's only a Captains' Meeting Rukia besides we don't kow what functions the squads will truly be serving yet, so lets just find out and worry about it later" said Ichigo smiling with Rukia looking at him with wide eyes.
"Huh you're a fool Ichigo and yet I continuously follow you because I know that somehow you'll save the day" said Rukia in her mind smiling.
"Alright Ichigo lets go" said Rukia following beside Renji.
"So when are you going to tell him?" asked Renji whispering over at Rukia.
"Tell him what?" asked Rukia in a fake confusion.
"You know that you've slowly been falling for him" said Renji.
"Maybe after this whole fiasco is over or it could easily happen after his training if my emotions run me ragged, you know Renji its funny I never thought Ichigo of all people would make me feel this way, every action he does from a smile to an act of protection makes me feel truly serene and loved" said Rukia taking a deep breath.
"Ya well I'd advise talking to Orihime before making a move because I'm pretty sure there might be a love triangle going on here" said Renji whispering.
"Ya I know and I will" whispered Rukia.
"Hey are you guys coming!!" yelled out Ichigo.
"Ya we're coming moron" said Renji in a rebutle.
(Squad 1 Barracks-Lieutenants Meeting Room)
"Well here we are again but this time I guess some of us have new Squad Captains two of which we're already quite familiar with" said Rangiku entering the meeting room.
"Ya I was the unlucky one to get Rukia as my captain" said Izuru in a huff.
"At least your Captain talks to you, Captain Yabureme only talks to us when he's training us or when we have something to report" said Shūhei grunting.
"Captain Kurosaki has been great for both the social and mental stability of the squad although his training methods are a little outrageous at times" said Momo entering the conversation.
"How outrageous could they be?" asked Chōjirō.
"One time he made the entire squad fight both him and his zanpakuto in it's manifested form" explained Momo.
"That's not outrageous as Kenny says doing training like that builds character" said Yachiru in her happy-go-lucky tone.
"Not to mention it improves reflexes and reaction time" said Ōmaeda as he was eating his favourite snack.
"Ichigo's training methods are no different than that of any other Captain" said Tetsuzaemon drinking a gourd of Sake in the corner.
"Ya well remember we're the one's cleaning up your wounds afterwards" said Isane cutting in.
"Trust me on this when I say Ichigo only makes Squad 5 work hard because he had to struggle to get where he is today" said Renji.
"I wish my Captain showed that same kind of dedication to his squad" said Nanao pushing up her glasses.
"Ever since Capain Kurotsuchi extracted the Squad 5 Captain's hollow powers, these meetings are the only thing that tear him away from continuously trying to manipulate that power" said Nemu in her dull but informative tone.
"Kurotsuchi better be careful that power is a lot more wild and untamed than he thinks" said Renji rubbing his brow.
(Squad 1 Barracks-Captains Meeting Hall)
"I see that everyones here including the new faces" said Shunsui lining up beside Jushiro.
"Thank you all for coming to this Emergency Captains Meeting now it seems that due to the great efforts of the Stealth Force as well as Squads 3, 5 and 9 we've managed a strong defensive however reports have come in saying certain members from each stationed area have gone missing" explained Yamamoto.
"Senken's on the move but why is he capturing soul reapers does he intend to interrogate them or is it a ploy to provoke us into beginning our attack sooner than the reprieve which he gave us?" asked Ichigo.
"If you guys are too unwilling and unprepared then pull them out and let Squad 11 take over" said Kenpachi in his usual crazed tone of voice.
"Think through it Zaraki because this man has the ability to awake the dead he's probably brought back millions of disposable but powerful corpse warriors even you must understand you'd be sending your Squad into a slaughter" said Rukia speaking up.
"Slaughter is what my Squad specializes in remember little girl" said Kenpachi in an arrogant tone.
"Enough Zaraki in this case Ichigo and Rukia are correct, until we know exact numbers on how many men Senken Fujin has revived then we cannot make foolish and rash attacks on the enemy" said Sajin Komamura.
"As much I'm going to regret suggesting this old man we should actually put Squad 11 out there on watch they do have excellent combat skills that would help us if this whole situation blows up in our faces" recommended Shunsui.
"I agree with Shunsui Squad 11 does do good in the field but we'll only support such an action under the condition that their Captain agrees to only act when the other squads do" explained Jushiro.  
"Fine it's a deal" said Kenpachi grunting.
"I am hoping we get this attack overwith soon though because the sooner it's over the sooner I'll be able to gather valuable specimens for my research" said Mayuri making his peculiar hand motions.
"You really have a problem that needs to be settled Mayuri" said Kenrichi in a huff.
"What was that Captain of Squad 9?!" said Mayuri in his usual raspy but annoyed tone.
"If you boys are having trouble resolving this matter then perhaps I can" said Unohana in calm but "persuasive" voice.
"That won't be necessary Unohana however I am curious if the Kuchiki clan's history logs have come up with anything on this man?" asked Toshiro.
"I looked through everything and he appears to be a mere drifter nothing more" said Byakuya bluntly.
"Hard to believe a mere drifter has such abilities but it doesn't matter, the Stealth Force will eliminate this enemy with quick precison" said Soi Fon in a straightforward tone.     
"Good, I'll finish up this meeting by saying to all of you to be battle ready when the time comes" said Yamamoto adjourning the meeting.
"I cannot believe I survived that" said Ichigo exiting the hall.
"Just wait Ichigo it's going to get harder both on and off the battlefield" said Shunsui approaching the younger Captain with Jushiro.
"Thanks for that Shunsui I think" said Ichigo scratching the back of his head.
"Ichigo come on your training regiment still has to be completed" said Rukia dragging Ichigo away by the ear.
"What training do you suppose she's talking about?" asked Jushiro.
"There's one way to find out" said Shunsui as Jushiro and himself began trailing the other two captains using flashstep at a far enough distance that they weren't noticed.
(Outside the Underground Training Facility)
"The Underground Training Facility that was once used by Yoruichi and Kisuke I shouldv'e known" said Shunsui placing his hand on the top of the closed entrance causing the stone to turn into see-through glass.
"Well I'll be Rukia's putting him through his paces for Kidō training I should've known this would happen" said Jushiro smiling.
(Inside the Underground Training Facility)
"Alright Ichigo there's two more Hadō spells I'dlike you to do so try Hadō # 33 Sōkatsui" ordered Rukia.
"Alright here I go Hadō # 33 Sōkatsui!!" yelled Ichigo releasing the burst of Kidō.
(Outside the Underground Training Facility)
"Phew now that's impressive" said Shunsui whistling.
"Ya and after this he'll have to do Bakudō which he can only truly learn by going up against a moving opponent" said Jushiro smiling at his partner.
"Ya I hear what you're saying but let's wait until he's done with the Hadō spells Rukia planned out" said Shunsui smiling.
(Inside the Underground Training Facility)
"Alright Ichigo, the last and final spell I want you to do is Hadō #1 Shō it's basically done by extending the finger like you did with Byakurai except instead of a full on blast of energy being produced it produces a simple yet effective invisible force that pushes the target away from you so try it out" ordered Rukia.
"Here I go Hadō #1 Shō!!" said Ichigo extending his finger, blasting a rock formation with an invisible force.
"Well that's all I have to teach you for Hadō techniques now we're going to move onto Bakudō, the sealing Kidō" said Rukia.
"But in order to truly test that type of Kidō I'd need moving targets so I guess it's you and me going at eachother right" said Ichigo in a nervous tone.
"Maybe or maybe the two jokers watching us would like to take a crack at training you" said Rukia looking up at the ceiling as Shunsui and Jushiro floated down to the ground below.
"We'd love to take a try but we're not going easy on you Ichigo this time it's do or die" said the two captains drawing their swords.
"I wouldn't expect any less" said Ichigo drawing Zangetsu off his back.
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer, Katen Kyōkotsu" said Shunsui releasing his twin bladed Zanpakuto.
"All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade Sōgyo no Kotowari" said Jushiro releasing his twin bladed Zanpakuto.
"And now lets get this show on the road" said Ichigo charging at the two Captains.
"Take this!!" yelled Ichigo clashing with Jushiro.
"Amazing Ichigo the strength of your zanjutsu has improved but remember your fighting two of us" said Jushiro
"Oh I haven't forgotten" said Ichigo turning his left eye to look behind seeing Shunsui coming out of his shadow.
"Now let me play a game Shunsui, Hadō 31 Shakkahō; Red Flame Cannon!!" said Ichigo firing the red energy sphere in a backwards position at Shunsui while still clashing with Jushiro.
"Not bad" said Shunsui cushioning the impact with his zanpakuto before it exploded.
"Now for you Jushiro, obviouisly I could take you out with a Hadō spell since your zanpakuto would be unable to absorb it at this range however I'll wing it with this instead, Bakudō 61 Rikujōkōrō" said Ichigo casting his first binding spell which held the Squad 13 Captain in place.
"And let's not forget you Shunsui, Bakudō #61 Rikujōkōrō" said Ichigo casting the same spell on Shunsui who just got up from the blast.
"Incredible Ichigo you mastered a high level Bakudō like Rikujōkōrō you've definitely come far in a short time but that seems to your specialty you fool" said Rukia in her mind while smiling.
"Not bad but lets see what else you can do Ichigo" said the Captains escaping and charged at Ichigo once more.
"Let's try something out of your book Rukia, Bakudō #4 Hainawa" said Ichigo trapping Shunsui in Kidō rope.
"Wrong choice Ichigo" said Shunsui cutting out of the bind.
"Then let's try its stronger version Bakudō #63 Sajo Sabaku" said Ichigo succssfuly binding Shunsui with Kidō chains.
"Now back to you Jushiro" said Ichigo clashing blades with the Squad 13 Captain once more.
""You've already used three powerful Bakudō Ichigo so the question is can you manage a fourth?" asked Jushiro.
"Let's see" said Ichigo backing away with Shunsi and Jushiro surrounding him
"Bakudō #81 Danku" said Ichigo as a spirit shield appeared in front of him blocking Shunsui.
"As for you Jushiro, Hadō #4 Byakurai" said Ichigo facing the 13th Squad Captain and firing a thin lightning bolt at him but dodged.
"Nice one Ichigo" said Jushiro taking a neutral stance.
"Yep I'd say your ready" said Shunsui doing the same.
"Thanks for the help guys oh and try and keep this a secret from Byakuya guys if he knew right off the bat that I mastered high level Kidō techniques he'd flip more than just his lid" said Ichigo in a nervous tone.
"Ya I hear ya Ichigo especially since many of the techniques you've mastered are considered his signatures but don't worry we'll keep it zipped" said Shunsui leaving with Jushiro.
"Now that they're gone Ichigo I have to tell you something" said Rukia in a trembling voice.
"What is it Rukia?" asked Ichigo in a worried voice.
"Do you remember when we first met?" asked Rukia.
"How could I forget it's because of you that I'm even a Soul Reaperto begin with, the Captain promotion was just a bonus but why are yu asking me this?" asked Ichigo.
"Because Ichigo I think, I'm in love with you Ichigo" said Rukia smiling.
"Hoo boy Byakuya's going to brutalize me after this but Rukia, recently I've been feeling the same way about you, I'm not sure if it because of the current crisis or because we've been through so much together but I love you too" said Ichigo as he and Rukia met with passionate kiss.
"Just remember lover boy we'll have to try and keep our professional and personal lives in check" said Rukia breaking away from the kiss.
"Don't worry I'll be able to control myself, you on the other hand that's a different story" said Ichigo teasing.
"What was that?!" asked Rukia agitated.
  "Nothing, nothing, so which one of us is going to have to tell Byakuya?" asked Ichigo with a sweatdeop.
"I'll tell him tonight and don't worry, I'll try and let him off easy to the point where he hopefully won't start hunting you down" said Rukia smiling.
"Thanks I've already got Kenpachi hunting me down and I don't need Byakuya on me to" said Ichigo smiling.
"Don't worry leave everything to me" said Rukia leaving the training ground.
"Why do I have a feeling that this will end badly" said Ichigo smiling.
"Because it always does Ichigo" said Yoruichi suddenly appearing.
'What are you doing here Yoruichi?" asked Ichigo raising an eyebrow.
"As always I was called in to help the Stealth Force coordinate information on the enemy" said Yoruichi grinning.
"And was I right?" asked Ichigo in a serious tone.
"Ya Aizen and his Espada are leading the pack however it also seems Senken has the ability to decide when he's in control and when his puppets deserve a will of there own" explained Yoruichi.
"So he's like a puppetmaster except when he cuts the strings he can just replace them with new ones who the hell is this guy?!" asked Ichigo clenching his fist.
"I don't know but you better return to your squad Ichigo, Momo in particular has desperately been trying to find you" said Yoruichi smiling then disappeared.
"Ya right" said Ichigo exiting the training ground.
