14 .

As soon as they entered the store, they were greeted by Urahara's ever-smiling face. Yoruichi was also here, apparently she was waiting for Orihime, Ichigo liked it very much, because the cat girl took his request seriously.

In fact, he trusted her much more than Urahara, whose methods of achieving goals were only slightly different from those of Aizen.

"Orihime, follow me." Yoruichi said and took the girl to one of the rooms where she could change. Inoue gave Ichigo a miserable look, but dutifully followed the cat.

Although Orihime was wearing her school uniform, Yoruichi had warned her earlier in the morning to bring a change of clothes with her, so she was fully prepared for the hellish training.

When Orihime left, Ichigo wanted to speak to Urahara, but was stopped by a loud cry.

"Ah! You! You are a girl!" he heard Inoue's voice coming from one of the rooms.

It looks like Yoruichi decided not to hide her appearance anymore, which was definitely a shock for the impressionable Orihime.

"How's that Shinigami doing?" Tatsuki asked as Ichigo was distracted by the redhead's screams.

"Follow me." Urahara replied and led them into one of the rooms.

As soon as the door opened, they saw a pretty girl who was lying on the bed, apparently unconscious.

"Her life is not in danger, but it will take a long time before she fully recovers."

Urahara's answer did not surprise Ichigo in the least. The guy personally checked the condition of the girl, who really was Kuchiki Rukia, her reatsu was at zero and was in no hurry to recover. However, the reason for this was also known to him.

"Indeed, it will take a very long time to recover, especially considering that her gigai (the temporary physical body that all Shinigami use in the human world, otherwise ordinary people simply would not be able to see them) is drawing all the reatsu out of her." Ichigo said after looking at Urahara.

"But you must understand that this all looks rather suspicious?"

"She must stay here in the human world, so it will be safer for her." - Kiske answered seriously. Ichigo nodded in agreement.

He understood that Urahara was telling the truth in part, he had long been going to help him in this, but everything did not go according to plan. Initially, Rukia was supposed to lose her strength after passing her to Ichigo, but now she was already without strength, and she had not even met Ichigo yet.

He had no idea what he was supposed to do now. Suddenly, Ichigo's gaze fell on Tatsuki, who was standing next to him, and a plan was born in his head.

"This is how we do it." Ichigo said and began to explain his plan.

"When she wakes up, tell her a story." - he turned to Urahara.

"She fought with a Hollow and was badly injured, then she saw an ordinary girl next to her." He pointed to Tatsuki standing next to him.

"Which ended up there by accident, and so that the girl could escape, she gave her her last strength, piercing her with her zanpakut. But suddenly you appeared." - he pointed to Urahara.

"And he saved them both, because you won't have a problem dealing with the adyucas, will it?"

"Sounds pretty believable." Urahara agreed.

"But will Miss Tatsuki agree with this? She will have to hide her strength. It will be a little strange if a 'new-born' Shinigami owns Shikai and Bankai, for your information, even the most talented Shinigami take several hundred years to master the Bankai."

"No problem." Tatsuki replied with a glance at Ichigo. She knew everything that in his opinion was going to happen, but since the whole plan went to hell, the girl did not mind playing a different role in this play.

In fact, she now had to switch roles with Ichigo, but it was even interesting.

"Okay, then I will bring her to consciousness and we will try to convince her that she voluntarily transferred her power to you." Urahara said and walked over to the bed on which Rukia was lying.

Thinking that Rukia shouldn't see him here, Ichigo went out into the hallway and there confronted Orihime and Yoruichi, who was in her true form.

The girl was dressed in a strange tracksuit that consisted of an orange jacket with two white stripes and black stretch pants, under the jacket you could see her trademark black shirt, sleeveless and bare back.

Without a doubt, her clothes accentuated the girl's sexy figure well, while being very comfortable. After a moment's hesitation, Ichigo stopped Yoruichi walking past him.

"You know Rukia, right?" Ichigo asked the girl, to which she nodded.

"Then you know what's going on? Urahara told you everything?"

"What do you mean?" Staring into Ichigo's eyes, Yoruichi asked. She and Urahara were friends for many years, but she did not always approve of his research and methods.

Whether he told her everything, the answer was obvious - no. She only knew that Aizen was behind the Shinigami emptying incident, and not Kisuke as believed in the Soul Society. Aizen was a threat to the Soul Society and had to be stopped, in this she agreed with Urahara, but she could not boast that she knew his plans.

"Come and see me tonight, we need to talk seriously. We don't have time to play games anymore, and I trust you much more than Urahara." Ichigo said barely audibly.

"Take care of Orihime, and I will try to get the power for both of you as soon as possible."

Yoruichi looked at Ichigo in surprise and nodded. For some reason, she shared Ichigo's feelings, she trusted him more than Urahara.

Of course, she knew that Kisuke was not the same monster as Aizen, but his boundaries between good and evil were definitely blurred. After picking up Orihime, who was clearly overhearing their conversation, Yoruichi went to the training ground.
