You must be joking

Receiving an emergency call I had to rush back home since Ichigo is badly injured and mom called me to return home in a rush so after saying goodbye Grayfia who needs to oversee the matter of the Kuoh since she is overlooking this area and reasonable for the actions of today while Unohana had returned to the Spiritual World to inform the old man abut the sudden Fallen Angel attack.

"What happened to Ichigo?" rushing into the house I asked mom who is looking at the news.

"Calm down Takashi now he is out of danger and should recover soon." Mom said with after a deep breath as she turns to look at me.

"Where's aunt Masaki and Rukia?" I ask in worry since I can not feel the presence of Rukia anywhere in the town while Aunt Misaki seems to be somewhere near Ichigo and what is Orihime doing with Sado.

"Masaki is looking after Ichigo since he is injured while Rukia is taken back to the Soul Society." Mom explained with a deep sigh as she looks out the window with worry.

"What do you mean taken back to the Soul Society?" I ask in surprise since dad is in the town it should not be easy for Byakuya to take her back.

"It's simple as that she has broken the rules of the Soul Society, so they sent a hunting team of a Captain and a Vice-Captain to bring her back, and even if I wanted to stop them because of the agreement of the factions I was forced to not stop them. else there will be a war between Shinigami and us." Dad explained with regret and clearing my thoughts.

"If only Rukia didn't leave suddenly then your dad could have also used some magic to hide her." Mom explains with a worried tone before she explained further "I have also forgotten to tell you when you went to train under your grandfather Orihime has also awakened her Fullbringer ability."

"Yes at that time I wanted to help her when I discovered a Hollow near her but to my surprise, she not only saved Tatsuki but also awakened it at that time." discovering my surprise on my face dad example farther.

"Is that why she was with Sado?" I asked with concern.

"I'm not certain but she seemed to be worried and left with Sado not long ago." said Father shaking his head in uncertainty.

"Then I would like to take a look at Ichigo's condition first." I said with a nod before I decided to walk out of the house when mom stopped me to ask "Where did you find this cat from?"

"While returning from the Kuoh town I found her unconscious beside the river and decided to heal her injuries." looking at the still unconscious black cat I am still hugging I answered with an honest smile.

"If you are trying to solve your cat-hating problem with her try not to hurt her alright?" mom advised me with a serious face.

"Dono worry I know what I should do." I whispered before leaving the house in a hurry since I can feel Ichigo's Spiritual pressure decreasing rapidly.

----------------------------

Kuroka who was trying to escape from the devils had a fierce battle and successfully killed some of them and getting some heavy injuries herself to the point it might take her some days to return to her optimal condition even with the help of her Senjutsu healing ability.

So before she lost her consciousness she decided to transform into her cat form or hide in a bush near the riverbank, of course, she wanted to use stronger magic to hide but the injuries were far worse than she would like them to be and it was all she could do at a time.

'It feels amazing.' waking up from her slumber for who knows how long time but the warm hands that are warping around her made her feel comfortable and warm that she wants to stay like this forever and the seldom cherishing was something that she doesn't remember anyone ever done for her to make her look at the person who is moving to her so much when she moved her head to look at the man after opening her eyes she saw not the most handsome man but an average looking boy with a dark hair.

Looking at him with a single glance she was sure he is very worried about something and rushing to somewhere but even when he is worried she felt if she were to be with him then no danger can approach her and she feels safer than ever by his side 'Maybe it will be good to stay as a cat by his side.'

"Oh ~ you are finally awake." as if feeling her movement the boy said with a smile as he looks at her to make her forget all her worries and make the darkness go away and make everything brighter than ever.

"Meow~" with a curious face Kuroka looks at the boy as she didn't understand how is she healthy and where did he find her.

"You know back then while returning from Kuoh I was surprised to discover some ferocious animal so close to the town and upon approaching them I discovered you sleeping in the bushes making me believe they wanted to eat you but luckily I was there and forced them to retreat else who knows what would happen to you." said the boy with worried tone as he explained the situation to Kuroka and it makes her feel relief but from next time she will first look for a sate place to hide instead of just hiding in the open when the boy continued his explanation "I know you might have been injured by them and almost lost your life so I wasn't able to leave you there so you can die or become their food.

Now you might be curious how can you be in full health in just a few hours from when I discovered you and you had so much injured right?"

"What you must be joking?"
