12 Rank 5

Poe woke up in the middle of the night due to a message from the system.

[Attention! Rank 5 empty found nearby!]

To say that Tatsuki was surprised is to say nothing. The system told her that an adyukas appeared nearby, in two years she and Ichigo had never met an empty one above the third rank in the human world.

However, she was only surprised, not frightened. One of the system's abilities was the ability to teleport them to Hueco Mundo. Although adjucas are not ubiquitous there, they have crossed paths with at least ten adjucas, and they killed eight of them. Naturally, in those battles, they fought two against one, but Tatsuki now felt that she was able to fight such a monster one on one.

She perfectly understood that she was slightly inferior to the adyukas in strength, but taking into account Bankai and Ierro, she believed that she could fight with him on equal terms, and in the worst case, she could run away.

All her thoughts took barely a second and summoning her Shinigami form, Tatsuki headed towards the Hollow. On the way, she noticed that the empty one was in one area and did not move.

By the way, the radar that the system provided was similar to the mini-map that is usually used in games, and the coverage was 10 kilometers. Arriving at the place, which took just a couple of minutes, Arisawa immediately understood why the empty one did not go anywhere.

A half-dead Shinigami girl was lying next to the empty one, she had short black hair and looked like she was hardly over sixteen. The wounds she received were very serious and if she was not helped in the near future, she would die. She would have died even faster if Tatsuki hadn't rushed to the empty one who was about to finish off the Shinigami and by inertia knocked him down, throwing him several meters back.

"Urahara! Come out! How long are you going to play your games !?" Tatsuki shouted, looking around. She discovered that she was a couple of kilometers from Urahara's shop and was almost certain that this slippery guy was nearby, how could he not have noticed the battle that was taking place under his nose.

"Eh ... I am increasingly amazed at your ability, Miss Arisawa. Can you tell me how you discovered me?" - coming out of one of the corners, said Kiske.

"Finding you? I'm afraid I can't do it." Tatsuki said after looking at the guy in the hat.

"I just assumed that you are somewhere nearby, I wonder why you did not intervene in the fight? Although it is none of my business, take care of the girl, and I will take care of the empty one."

"Are you sure you can handle it on your own?" Urahara said as he approached the bloody Shinigami.

"This empty ..."

"Yes, yes, I am aware that this is adjucas." Tatsuki interrupted.

"Take the girl and get out of here." - Turning to the empty one that had already risen, an eerie smile flashed on the girl's face.

"Get off, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi! Bankai!"

Saying this, Tatsuki raised her zanpakut vertically, point downward and extended her hand, and then released it. The katana began to fall, and when it reached the ground, it began to dissolve, as if it had fallen into the water and the waves that appeared out of nowhere confirmed this.

As soon as the sword dissolved, around the empty one and the girls began to materialize dozens and hundreds of blades of swords, and then they all scattered into sakura petals that began to circle around them. Only now did Tatsuki have time to get a good look at the appearance of his opponent, as he seemed to be amazed at what was happening.

The empty one was not too big, only about three meters high, it looked like a man, except that the arms and legs looked incredibly powerful, and the head looked like that of a hammerhead, the picture was completed by a large hole in the chest.

Tatsuki attacked first. She collected several thousand petals and attacked the head of the adyukas with them, while she herself created a sword for herself. Using Shumpo, she instantly moved to the empty one and while it was distracted, directed her blow to his right hand.

Her sword passed through the empty body like a knife through butter, she was extremely surprised by this, but was not confused, and even before the severed hand of the empty touched the ground, the girl was already ten meters away from him. Hollow howled after losing one of his limbs and a Sero began to form around his mouth, targeting Tatsuki.

The girl cursed and quickly surveyed the area with her perception. After making sure that Urahara was not nearby (she realized this due to the fact that she did not feel the injured Shinigami girl nearby), she decided to meet Sero head-on. She drew her sword, pointing at the empty one.

"Gray!" Tatsuki said. An energy sphere began to form at the tip of her sword. At the same time, she created from the petals flying everywhere, something like armor on her body and strengthened her Hierro.

A couple of seconds later, the two Seros collided, creating an explosion that was terrifying in power, but the shock wave did not cause any harm to the girl, her protection coped with the load.

But the empty one is not so lucky. Perhaps this was due to a surprise, since he had never expected the Shinigami to use Sero. The wave threw him a dozen meters and inflicted serious injuries, even Hierro did not help him much.

Tatsuki, of course, could not pass up such an advantageous opportunity, using Shumpo, she found herself directly above the hollow rising from the ground and slashed him in the neck. The Hollow's head detached from his body, after a few seconds he turned to dust.

"It was kind of too easy." Tatsuki muttered to herself and lowered her sword.

"Of course he is stronger than empty ranks 1-3, but ... was the system really mistaken in assessing his strength?" - and a moment later the girl suddenly dawned on her. Bankai increases the Shinigami's strength fivefold, and before that, she always fought using only Shikai, which only strengthens two and a half times. Tatsuki smiled contentedly and returned home, with the rest she was going to deal with in the afternoon.

"Tatsuki, describe that Shinigami again," Ichigo asked when the girl finished her story, which caused him many questions.

"She has short black hair, but longer than mine." Arisawa began to remember.

"Growth is about the same as mine, looks about sixteen years old. Sorry, I couldn't see anything else."

"Nothing, that's for sure the Rukia Kuchiki I told you about." Ichigo replied.

"That's just why she ended up there and practically died, I have no idea." he pointed with his head.

"And also this adyukas. Adyukas could come into the world of the living only for some specific purpose. In contrast to the weak hollows, they develop only by absorbing their own kind, to feed on living souls for them is like trying to satisfy their hunger with one grain of rice."

"He was near Urahara's shop, but I don't think Urahara could have been his target, he would have dealt with him easily." Tatsuki suggested.

"Could he come for that Shinigami?"

"Unlikely." Ichigo shook his head.

"Aizen needs her to return to Soul Society alive, and I'm pretty sure he has something to do with this hollow."

"Then ..." Tatsuki trailed off. It wasn't hard to guess what she was thinking.

"Ichigo, I used Bankai and Sero ..."

"It doesn't matter." Ichigo shook his head again.

If Aizen watched your battle, he only learned that you are much stronger than he thought, but not strong enough to influence his plans. The fact that you used Sero most likely interested him, but no more. In any case, we shouldn't worry about it yet, the main thing is not to fall under his Shikai. "

"As you say." Tatsuki nodded in response.

"Now, would you like to tell me why Orihime and Yoruichi ended up at your house this morning?" A playful smile blossomed on her face.

"Last night, when I saw Inoue off, we talked for a bit and she kind of doesn't mind continuing our not-so-traditional relationship." Ichigo replied with a smile.

"That's what you wanted, isn't it?"

"Inoue is a little slut!" Tatsuki giggled.

"She is pretending to be a shy girl, but you should have seen her face when she licked me! To be honest, I did not think that she would agree to everything so quickly. But what about Yoruichi?"

"It's a little more complicated with her." Ichigo smiled.

"Looks like she likes me and probably you too. She came last night and stayed with me for the night."

"Wow! And how is she? I mean she turned into a girl? You didn't sleep with the cat? And how do you know that she likes me too?" Tatsuki asked him questions. If Yoruichi were here, she would probably be standing with her mouth open, how could she have guessed that the girl would react that way.

"She's definitely a pretty exotic beauty." Ichigo answered honestly

"As far as I know, she used to have a relationship with a girl who is quite similar to you. From this I can assume that she is also interested in you."

"Tell me, Ichigo, am I normal? My boyfriend talks to me about other girls, and I'm not even a little jealous. On the contrary, I can't wait to do all sorts of perverted things with them." Tatsuki admitted.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You're fine, don't bother yourself with this anymore." Ichigo said, stopping, and taking the girl by the hand, he led her to the nearest bench.

"There's nothing wrong with liking other girls so long as you don't start liking other boys."

"Ichigo! What are you talking about, I would never!" Tatsuki began to be indignant. In truth, she never really liked boys, she often wondered how it came to be that she fell in love with Ichigo.

"I know that. Therefore, you are the only one I trust one hundred percent and tell you everything." Ichigo hurried to calm her down, and then went into the system store and bought two [God Particles], they looked like tiny glowing pearls.

"Take this and use it." -he passed one pearl to Tatsuki. The girl took the pearl and examined it. Thanks to the system, she could get brief information about this subject.

Her eyes widened in amazement and she quickly lifted the pearl to her chest. The pearl entered her body and disappeared, the same thing happened to Ichigo.

"I think we should try these VP fields after school," Ichigo said contentedly.

"By the way, this core of the soul will keep your youth forever."

"Are you saying I will always look like this now?" Tatsuki said in amazement. Ichigo nodded, and the girl immediately straddled him and dug a kiss on his lips.

The promise of eternal youth for any girl was one of the most cherished desires in life.

After hugging a little, they continued their run. So early on the streets were quite few people, the Japanese quite rarely got up so early.

Returning back, they dispersed to their homes and, as usual, will meet again in front of the school.

Upon entering the house, the first thing Ichigo did was go to the shower. Then he had breakfast with his family and questions about how he was doing with Arisava.

His parents constantly said that they wanted Tatsuki to show up at their house more often, clearly hinting that they would not mind if she stayed overnight. After breakfast, Ichigo and his sisters went to school. He himself studied in high school, and Karin and Yuzu in junior.
