Friends

Xin look up and see that the rain start to slowly fall, the rain makes everyone felt sad for some reason,

"Let's go Yoruichi, let's help this kid," Xin said, taking the umbrella and walking near Ichigo.

"Are you going to help him?" Yoruichi asked.

"Yes, even if I don't help him, someone will, but it is much better if I go to help him in times like this... after all… in his friend," Xin said.

Yoruichi who sitting on his shoulder look at Xin's expression with a monetary silent she said," He is fortunate to have a friend like you,"

Xin nodded and walked closer to Ichigo, he used his umbrella to cover him from the rain, looking at the bloody figure of him makes everyone shudder.

But for Xin, this is needed for every main protagonist of the story to move forward, a challenge that they need to conquer.

"It seems that you're pretty beaten, Ichigo…" Xin said.

Ihogo tried to move his face upward, he looked in the sky letting the rain hit his face then said," it seems that even I become like you…. I'm still weak…"

"No one is born strong at the start, every one of us trains to become strong, just like you, you can fight Renji even if you just start in this kind of job."

Ichigo slightly tears up, from his face Xin can see that his frustration for being benign feels weak for the first time.

"It fine to cry, because you need it to release the negative emotion inside of you, but after that you need to understand that benign stubborn is not everything, you also need to think the next step you need to do,"

*Step

"Hohoho~ it seems that i came late," Urahara who appeared at them joking said, he waved his hand then said," then I'm going Xin, take care of your friend, visit me at my shop if you need assistance."

"Sure, thank you for coming,"

"Hey Xin," Ichigo said.

"I know you're strong.... And I know you have a reason why you did not help us.... But can you promise me,"

"Sure what is it?"

"... Can you take me if you save Rukia from those bastards,"

"Sure why not, I think you're not the only one who wants to come… right, Uryu, Chad," Xin looked at the distance, seeing the two guys hiding while peeking at them.

"Heheheh, it seems that you discovered us," Uryu embarrassedly said.

"Xin take us, I want to help you guys," Chad straight forward said.

"So you're Chad…. And Uryu did you come here to laugh at my pathetic state?" Ichigo said.

"Yes, you look pathetic, you're weak that even a small-time shinigami mops you on the floor," Uryu answered.

"DAMN YOU!! Arg!! My wound," Ichigo, who wanted to stand up to beat Uryu, forgot that he was heavily wounded.

"It seems that you guys already decide, let's go I will going to help you guys to become a little strong to prevent you, guys being bully, when we arrive on enemy territory," Xin said.,

"I'm going, I need to go back to my ancestral home to train," Uryu said while walking on his own.

"It seems that you're the only two left, Chad take Ichigo to follow me, let's heal him at home," Xi said.

Chad walked and took Ichigo with him but before they could even walk in the distance they heard someone calling at them.

"Hey wait for me~~~~"

Xin turns around and sees Tatsuki running at them carrying her training uniform, and it seems that she also decides to follow them.

"Come, Inoue is still awake," Xin said, taking the anthem back home.

When they arrived, Inoue who was sleeping in the living room awake, she was on the shelf seeing them all late at night.

Xin only said that they need help and also he needs her to help Ichigo who was pretty beaten by Chad.

While Ichigo benign tend by Inoue, Xin sits in front of them and asks," Are you guys sure you want to come? As you can see this is not an ordinary street fight that you only gain some bruise and bumps,"

Both of them nodded, they knew what was waiting for them, just seeing Ichigo appear, they knew that the opponent that they were going to fight would kill them for sure.

Looking at them, Xin for sure that they really want to follow them to their next destination, and Xin needs to train them so that he doesn't need to babysit them.

"I will give you guys a training schedule, the training will end after a week, after a week I will check your strength if you can join us, but if you're too weak sorry I will not going to take you with me,"

"I'm not scared of pain, give me what you got," Tatsuki said.

"I'm can't wait," Chad said.

"Don't worry, Inoue will heal you guys if you ever get wounded so don't need to be nervous," Xin said.

"Under of this house is a secret chamber, a training chamber for Inoue, and it seems that you guys also going to use it for a week," Xin look at Inoue and said," Inoue, let's stop your training, for now, le the muse it for the meantime,"

"It's fine brother,"

"So Inoue also trains every day, but why does Inoue look weak?" Tatsuki said.

"Simple, I never let her use her full power, or else the Karate Club will have a new Captain," Xin said.

Chad looked at Ichigo and asked," What about Ichigo?"

"Don't worry about him, someone will deliver him to his training destination," Xin mysteriously said.

"Meow~."

"Okay, follow me, let's start your training program, brace yourself, I never take it easy on my training program," Xin said while grinning at them.

"Guys, take care," Inoue said knowing the king of hellish training waiting for them.
