Invasion

"Strawberry!!!" Hiyori shouted with a grin on her face. She ran up to him and hugged Ichigo tightly. Ichigo hugged back while chuckling all the way.

"Welcome back, Hiyori. Did ya miss me?" Ichigo grinned at her. Shinji snorted loudly.

"Missed you?! Snaggletooth fantasized about you and her every small chance she got— Ugh!!!" Shinji was hit in the face by Hiyori's sandle and fell on the ground in a thud.

"Shut up, dipshit! I'm the one talking here!" Hiyori barked at him protectively. Suddenly, Mashiro grabbed onto Ichigo's clothes and got on him piggyback style.

"Berry-tan! I missed you too! Now tell me, who do you miss the most?" Mashiro asked with an innocent pouty face. Ichigo hummed.

"Hmm... Both? Yeah, both. Both are good." Ichigo decided. Hiyori grumbled.

"Should've picked me. What's there to miss about her?" Hiyori glared at Mashiro who stuck her tongue out at Hiyori playfully.

"Hmph! This swimsuit magazine is much better to be honest." Lisa grumbled while staring intently at the magazine on her hands. Ichigo walked towards her and looked at what she was looking at. It was a men's swimsuit magazine. They were only wearing swimming trunks and they barely wore any shirts.

"Hah! You call these muscles? These soy boys can't compare to a real man's muscles. " Ichigo undressed the top half of his shihakusho. Lisa looked at his chest and abs. She was frozen in place immediately and dropped the magazine on the ground.

"H-holy shit." Kensei muttered in awe. Shinji wasn't even surprised any more. Mashiro got off him and started touching his eight pack. Hiyori gulped and started pressing the eight pack.

"Aww man... These aren't buttons at all." Mashiro whined when she poked Ichigo's nipples. Hiyori growled and slapped her hand away from him.

"Hands off him, pervert! Only I can touch him like that!" Hiyori shouted. Mashiro was confused.

"Since when did you get to keep him?" Mashiro asked her. Hiyori growled at her.

"Why do you care huh?! " Hiyori started cracking her knuckles.

"Ladies, ladies! You can feel me up all you want later! I think Lisa here needs a wake up call." Ichigo chuckled and snapped his fingers in front of Lisa. Lisa snapped out of her trance and looked at Ichigo again.

"So? Do you like these babies?" Ichigo grinned at her. Lisa rolled her eyes.

" It's average at best. " Lisa grumbled.

" Oh come on, surely you could give me a higher score. " Ichigo tried bargaining with her. Lisa looked at Hiyori and Mashiro.

" His muscles are average right? " She asked for confirmation.

" Yeah. They're barely noticeable." Hiyori mocked. Mashiro nodded in agreement.

"Mhm! I don't know why Lisa-chan froze though. Maybe she just had a brain freeze when she saw Berry-tan's unnoticeable muscles." Mashiro kept theorizing. Ichigo sighed in defeat.

"You girls are mean."

"Thank you for the compliment, strawberry. "

It has been a month since Rukia reluctantly sent Grimmjow and his Fracción retreating back to Hueco Mundo.

Everyone including Rangiku had gotten stronger through training with Ichigo himself. Rangiku's quick improvement was an extra surprise to the captains who were improving by their own pace which was already fast enough.

First she's actually training and now she's quickly catching up to them as well? And it's only been a month as well. And it's all thanks to her soul being whole again. Rangiku could not stop thanking Orihime about this matter. Rangiku's Reiatsu and Reiryoku have increased drastically. And she could utilized Haineko, her Zanpakutō better now.

It's all because of Ichigo forcing Rangiku to talk to Haineko. They reluctantly became friends after some insulting and cat fighting. After a few days of constant insults and brawling, they now talk about shopping and the latest trends Rangiku read in the lastest editions of the Vogue Magazine.

Rangiku's new ability which she named 'Black Iron' is already becoming a trump card of Rangiku's.

Black Iron is a defensive and also an offensive ability. The durability is the black skin of Rangiku's when she activated that technique. The attack part was the spikes that pierced through her hand.

When asked about whether or not the spikes hurt her, Rangiku denied it immediately, saying that it just feels uncomfortable seeing a spike coming out of her body.

One day while Ichigo was sparring with Rangiku. He punched her in the right hand while she had Black Iron activated, he grunted a little feeling pain in his knuckles.

When Rangiku punched him with her right hand as a counterattack, he grunted even more as he skidded back.

Rangiku broke off a black spike that was coming out of her hand. She threw it towards Ichigo who dodged it easily.

*BAAANG!!!*

The spike stabbed through the ground and I exploded, cratering it. Ichigo gulped a little.

And now, Ichigo with Toshiro by his side were in the Urahara Shop. They were standing together in a room staring at a large monitor put on the wall.

On the monitor's screen was Yamamoto who was sitting on a comfortable looking sofa. They were currently talking to him and discussing their future plans for the war against Aizen and Hueco Mundo.

"Aizen's true objective is to create an Ōken, a key that acts as the only way to access the Soul King Palace and the Soul King himself. She intends to kill the Soul King." Yamamoto explained Aizen's plan.

" The more pressing matter is how he is going to create it. To create an Ōken, It requires 100,000 Souls and a shifting zone known as the Jūreichi which currently comprises Karakura Town, meaning that she will obliterate the area to create the key." Yamamoto continued gravely.

" We, the Gotei 13 will stop her from doing so." Yamamoto ended his speech.

"Will my friends join you all?" Ichigo asked him. After thinking for a moment, Yamamoto nodded.

"They will. You told me what they could do when they work together and I believe you. So yes, they will join the war." Yamamoto answered. Ichigo nodded.

" Oh, yes. There is also someone who wants to talk to you, Captain Hitsugaya. Come here, Lieutenant Hinamori. " Yamamoto order. And walked away from the monitor. Momo shyly stood in front of the screen.

" H-hey, Toshiro. " Momo waved at Toshiro. Toshiro smiled a little.

" Momo. How are you feeling? " Toshiro asked her.

" I'm doing fine. I just can't get over the fact that she b-betrayed me. I thought we were best friends forever. What happened to that promise? " Momo looked down and mumbled sadly, her tears threatening to flow out of her eyes. She looked at Toshiro again.

"Will you kill her, Toshiro?" Momo asked her. Toshiro shrugged.

"I don't know. It's the Head Captain's decision whether or not we should kill or imprison Aizen." Toshiro answered.

" I still think there's something going on! What if Aizen is being forced to commit those atrocities— Agh! " Momo was tapped gently in the head by Yamamoto's wooden cane, rendering her unconscious. Yamamoto caught her and looked at them apologetically.

"I guess it's too soon to let her talk to you when she's still not accepting the reality of the situation. Well then, your current orders are to train and guard Karakura Town. I must go now. I have a Captain's meeting. Farewell, brats. "

The screen turned off. Toshiro sighed and rubbed his head. " She still thinks Aizen is a goody two shoes? Oh Momo.... " Toshiro muttered sadly.

One day later, Ichigo and Rukia were walking together in the streets of Karakura Town. They were holding hands like a couple would.

They passed by many humans who didn't even bat an eye at their quirky outfits and different sized blades.

They then arrived at a small abandoned park. "Hey, Rukia. Do you remember this park?" Ichigo asked her. Rukia nodded.

"I do actually. It's the one where you killed a spider like Hollow and performed your first Konsō on the little kid. " Rukia answered with a smile on her beautiful face.

"Yeah. It is." Ichigo muttered quietly. They enjoyed the silence for a while. That peaceful moment didn't last for long as a Garganta suddenly opened above the park they were in.

It revealed Grimmjow with other unknown Hollows standing beside him. One of them looks like a child.

He has light blond hair, parted to one side, with the tips fanning out from his face. The remains of his Hollow mask consist of a three-point tiara on the top of his head.

He only has two visible teeth, freckles and bright purple eyes. He wears the Arrancar jacket with a hole in the middle of his chest, revealing his Hollow hole and the tip of a mark on his chest. The outfit also has large arm cuffs on the sleeves.

This child is Wonderweiss Margela, he is the 77th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's army and the only modified Arrancar under Aizen's command.

"Ooh....." Wonderweiss was staring intently at a swing. He then looked at the slide and smiled in excitement.

"Focus, Wonderweiss." A tall female Arrancar ordered. Wonderweiss looked down and sulked.

She has a curvaceous and well-endowed frame. She has olive skin, aqua green eyes, thick eyelashes, and short messy golden blonde hair.

She wears a variation of the Arrancar jacket with a high collar, which covers the lower part of her face downward, while baring a good portion of the lower half of her large breasts.

The jacket has a zipper running along its entire length, which is opened from the bottom upwards. It has a beige air filter on either side just below the trim.

The jacket's sleeves completely envelop her arms, terminating in black glove-like extensions at her extremities, resembling the appearance of a cat's paw.

The remnants of her Hollow mask consist of the sides of her face, her mouth, and an extensive area below and around her neck extending down to, and also covering, her nipples. She hides these remnants from view with her jacket.

Her Espada tattoo is placed on the left side of her right breast. The location of her Hollow hole is in her lower abdomen where her womb would be.

This amazonian graceful and powerful looking woman is Tier Harribel, she is an Arrancar and the Tres (3rd) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army.

Behind her, three women who are likely her Fracción. Harribel looked at another person standing beside her.

The man beside her has blue-gray eyes and wavy, dark brown unkempt hair, which ends at the base of his neck.

He has a faded goatee. His clothing is typical of an Arrancar: he wears a white jacket outlined in black, though altered with the collar upturned.

A black sash is worn in a manner similar to a matador around his waist and he wears white gloves. The remains of his Hollow mask consist of a fanged bottom jaw which is positioned along his neck.

His Hollow hole is on his sternum, right below the tip of his mask. His Espada tattoo is featured on the back of his left hand, which is hidden underneath his gloves.

This bored and unenthusiastic man is Coyote Starrk. Starrk is an Arrancar and the Primera (1st) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army, along with his other counterpart, Lilynette Gingerbuck who is standing beside him.

Lilynette is a young-looking female Arrancar. Her outfit consists of white-colored briefs with a black line positioned in the middle, arm-warmers, a revealing vest with a high collar and thigh-high, fur-lined boots.

Her Hollow hole is positioned in the center of her stomach. The remainder of her Hollow mask is the form of a helmet, with two horns on the top of her head.

The left horn looks as if it has been cut off and the left half of the mask covers her left eye.

Her right eye is light pink, with the left eye covered by her Hollow mask and a flame design over the eye socket and she also has light green hair arranged in a very basic manner.

Harribel looked at Ichigo and Rukia who were staring at them. Rukia had her hand on the handle on Sode no Shirayuki, ready to draw ot out when the battle begins. Ichigo was staring at them with an interested face.

"It's Shinigami Time, suckers.....

To be continued....

(I hope you're okay with me describing how each of them look like.)
