A test (open)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo had watched how Urahara got rid of his reiatsu so easily he truly had control and could diffuse any situation. He see how he did it and even on his wayward reiatsu Urahara could still take charge. Even if Ichigo wasnt going to say it out loud he admitted Urahara was a good teacher despte his strange sense of humour he knew what he was doing and when asked who trained him up they instantly knew who he was and that it was someone worthy to be trained by. ''Thanks...and sorry again Ana'' Ichigo sighed.

Of course Urahara had lost Ichigo when he spoke of understanding his power he had thought he already did but the mention of his Bankai not being complete made his wonder and start to think that Urahara was seriously trying to hint something to him. But before he could think on it any longer Urahara had spoke of testing them even more, that didnt sound good.

Did hear right, a number 96 Kidou was he mad! before Ichigo could have a yell at Urahara he and Ana were engulfed in explosions of black reiatsu that shot up from the ground blocking any view he could have. Ichigo instantly went on his defence and had to rely on his flash steps to avoid the crumbling ground beneath him. He looked around for Ana but he could hardly see a thing. He heard his name and recognised it as Ana's voice she sounded ok but wasnt sure.

Ichigo flung his hand through the black wall of Urahara's reiatsu and caused a crack in the almost glass like appearance of Urahara's black wall covering them. Shattering some of it away Ichigo turned to see if he could see Ana ''This way, Ana!'' he called hoping she could see the light that he had opened up from a good portion that had shattered away.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana nodded her head to Ichigo "Well you did promise not to hit me..." Ana said, he said nothing about nearly bruising her wrists but it was his first time so she'd forgive him. She knew though exactly what Urahara was talking about but didn't say anything simply acted like she knew nothing... so she hoped it looked like.

Hearing Ichigo's voice though made Ana feel a little better knowing he was ok though she still had no idea where he was. Looking around a few times she spotted a faint light "I got ya" she called out to him. She didn't know what the ground under her looked like so she formed a shield under each step she took making her way over to Ichigo slowly, it was like she was walking on air before she got closer to Ichigo.

"You know I'm going to kill him right" she called out to Ichigo but she knew Urahara would not hurt them... right? Though she wouldn't kill Urahara, he was simply testing them yea?

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo could barely hear Ana but he could kind of see her shield that supported her path walking towards him, was a clever idea really seeing as the floor beneath them had given way with no warning. ''You ok?'' he asked when she got close enough.

He then turned and looked through the small escape he had made to spot Urahara still stood in the same spot not changing his position at all still smiling, he was a strange man. ''Hey asshole! you could of told us you were gonna do a 96 level Kidou'' Ichigo called out which only made Urahara laugh a little. In Urahara's mind he had to be prepared for anything.

Ichigo had, had enough and he drew Zangetsu swinging it across the large wall of reiatsu and shattered the whole thing making it tumble to the ground kicking up debris and a cloud of dust before everything settled and he and Ana were left standing in front of Urahara.

Ana was going to kill him and Ichigo agreed with a nod ''Is he crazy setting that on us or what'' he said as he rested his zanpakuto on his shoulder.

''Good work'' Urahara smiled as he clapped his hands like it was some kind of show. ''Shut up!'' Ichigo began. He sure had a funny way of doing things. ''You can deflect a level 96 Kidou yet you can barely create a low level one'' Urahara smiled. ''How about this....you and Ana....against me'' he asked.

[Shoshi Ana]

"Yea, I am ok" she added nodding her head to Ichigo. It did not take her long to get to him but she did eventually get near him, he seemed to be ok. As Ichigo yelled at Urahara though she frowned in thought a little, maybe he was testing them, sounded like something Urahara would do to which made Ana huff a little.

She coughed a few times blowing the dust out of her face before seeing ground! Finally! Letting her shield fall away she landed on the ground and glanced over her shoulder, man Urahara's attack had left some damage from what she could see. "He could have done worse you know" Ana said to Ichigo glancing to him but was not defending Urahara's actions in any shape or form.

"Hey at least he managed to do it once... even if it did nearly cut off the circulation to my hands" Ana said mumbling the last bit to herself. It simple meant Ichigo was better at attacks and destroying something than mobilizing it but with some practice he'd get better at it, is this what that was all about? She frowned a little at Urahara's next comment. She would love to kill him no doubt about it but she'd never bring herself to actually doing it let alone get close enough to kill him. "As much as I would like to kick your ass Urahara I don't want to die" she added folding her arms a little.

Ana though looked to Ichigo "What do you think? Kick his ass?" she glanced to Ichigo, surely if the two of them put their heads together they could knock Urahara down. It wasn't a moment after she asked Ichigo what he thought that while keeping her eyes on Ichigo she quickly raised her hand towards Urahara keeping her palm flat before a flat shield erupted from her hand and flew towards Urahara not a second after she lifted her arm. She glanced forwards to see if she'd hit him or if she'd need to be faster. It would certainly be awesome if she had hit him, imagine that, finally landing a hit on Urahara! Though she was not going to be so surprised if he had dodged it, she half expected that.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Satisfied that Ana was ok he turned his attention onto Urahara who stayed in the same spot. He could of deleivered a level 99 Kidou that could be worse but still whatever that was it could of killed them both not that Ana or Ichigo would allow that to happen, good job their were alert. It did make Ichigo think and question himself weather or not if he had survived that if he was 2 years back he certainly didnt think he'd of think it was coming.

Ichigo glanced Ana hearing her defend him agasint Urahara's comment only only being able to shatter Kidou not use it. ''Yeah! so there, what she said'' Ichigo smirked towards Urahara. She had dropped in the fact he had almodt cut off her blood supply though ''Thanks Ana''.

It was then that he had challenged them to a 2 on one fight and while that may seem unfair in numbers it was very much needed with Urahara he could probably take on 4 people at one and still come out in top it was just his knowledge and experiance so you couldnt really fool this guy and it seemed Ana didnt want to die, neither did he but if they pulled together perhaps they'd at least keep up with him.

''Alright....we can take him....easy right'' Ichigo said to Ana but she was aleady on it and attacking Urahara. Ana had sent out a flat shield and aimed it Urahara who hadnt spoke or moved even when a shield was hurtling towards him. ''Ana wait!'' Ichigo called but Ana's sheild hit Urahara! Ichigo looked shocked there was an eerie silence as Urahara's body was sliced in half from the sheild and he lay there. ''Shit, Ana!'' Ichigo panicked how had she just killed him!

''Poor guy...dont you feel sorry for him'' came a voice from behind Ana and Ichigo and it happened to be Urahara too. Ichigo frowned ''What! but...you...your over there....'' he sighed before looking back at the dead Urahara which suddenly burst and deflated. Ichigo narrowed his eyes why that idiot! Ichigo jumped back away from the real Urahara distancing himself. ''You asshole you always gotta play dirty tricks'' Ichigo said to which Urahara simply chuckled.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana shrugged her shoulders a little and smiled a little "No problem Ichigo" she added. He hadn't actually hurt her but she rather not be his dummy until he got better control over his reiatsu, then he could try kidou on her... so long as Urahara was around because anything could go wrong and it was smart to have a much older wiser person there to assist in case something did go wrong.

She was not so sure it would be so easy but she glanced to Ichigo and smirked a little. She simply wanted to test Urahara and see if she could catch him off guard, was worth a try right, would let her know how fast she was or how much faster she needed to become. Glancing to where Urahara had been she blinked a few times hearing Ichigo telling her to wait. Opps, too late, oh well no going back now. Bring it on Urahara!

Of course she did not expect to see the site of Urahara. Her heart stopped in her chest and she gasped "I thought he'd dodge it..." she gasped, wait was she really that fast now, if so that was pretty cool! Though she was unsure as she frowned a little observing the body. Ichigo was not helping really and then heard a voice behind her. Quickly spinning around she saw Urahara, oh the jerk had tricked them! Wait, yea that certainly sounded like something Urahara would do. Maybe he had changed moment's after he'd attacked them or moments before she had used her shield on him. So she wasn't that fast then?

"Gosh Urahara you nearly worried me to death... here I thought I was fast but no you... you... you're a pain" she said mumbling the last bit to herself. Before point to Urahara "That was mean! But point taken" she added before sending a shield his way. Game on, he wanted to play mean fine... mean and tricky it would be then.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked towards the burst copy of Urahara with an angered look before he sighed. The idiot had made them think he was actually dead, but when he thought about it some more it made sense. Urahara deceived in fights and it meant not everything was real but it sure got you thinking or overthinking as to weather or not any attacks Urahara made were by the real him and not some portal gigai he's conjured up.

Ana had seemed just as shocked by it and didnt expect to see her attack slice him in half until of course Urahara's voice had appeared from behind them. ''Haha very funny...'' Ichigo said unimpressed he had probably switched bodies when he and Ana couldnt see him for that breif moment they were engulfed in his kidou. Urahara smiled ''You actually thought you'd killed me then right...'' he laughed. ''Now tell me were you worried, honestly'' he asked to which Ichigo shot at glare at him over. ''Shut your hole!'' he snapped but in all honestly he had been worried even if Urahara was a pain in the ass.

Urahara glanced to Ana ''Ah i did then....oh dear i really worried you guys....sorry'' he smiled innocently. ''Its mean...but so will an enemy be'' he spoke before another sheild was sent at him ''Lets really test ourselves today because it will really help in a real battle'' he said casually while he flipped himself over backwards to escape Ana's attack he then landed with a smile.

Ichigo frowned a little more and then glanced to Ana having an idea to combine attacks. They both had forceful attacks and he had never thought about his Getsuga and her sheild in one attack on a hollow or any other enemy for that matter, it would surly create devestation. ''Ana'' Ichigo began. ''Do you think you could make another one of those sheilds at your strongest?'' he asked her because he would try his attack the moment she did but of course try and throw Urahara off that before he did attack.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana had to wonder when he had made that Gigai... then again he was always making stuff she just couldn't recall ever seeing one like it before, she'd have to study one next time she came across it. Sneak into the shop and check them out if she had to just so she wasn't fooled again, bloody idiot. She had to admit she had been worried and folded her arms for a moment, what was he thinking, he totally freaked her out! Then again she should have known better to think she could actually land a hit on him... oh but just he wait and see she'd get him one day.

"Sorry... you say that a lot you know" she added frowning a little and huffed. He was sorry, he was going to be sorry! They might have been able to outnumber him but it didn't mean they could beat him, but she was not going to give up, she was certain if her and Ichigo put their heads together they could knock him down. She frowned when he dodged her shield before hearing Ichigo and glanced over. What the hell was he thinking now? She raised an eyebrow at him before moving backwards away from Urahara a little and nodded her head "Ok" she added quietly.

She didn't know everything her shield could do, she was still learning about it, she had no doubt in her mind she always would be learning about it. When Ana made her strongest attacks it was a last resort kind of deal, she much rather avoid it but she'd try it out, lord knew what was going on in Ichigo's mind. It was only going to be a moment opening when it came to Urahara so she needed to be quick. She clapped her hands together and conjured up some of her reiatsu allowing it to spike for a moment while a large flat shield formed before her and the dust around her feet flew into the air around her. Opening her eyes she placed her hands forwards to let it move forwards towards Urahara with speed but had no idea what Ichigo was intending on doing let alone if it would work. She hoped whatever he had planned it would work, just wouldn't kill anyone.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo was aware that Urahara used Gigai to confuse his enemies but it had been a long time since he went up against him, in fact it was over 2 years ago when he starting training with Urahara and ever since then it had just been one battle after another that never stopped and Urahara just turned up onece or twice when he got in a situation.

He tried to watch Urahara all the time after that gigai stunt so if he really was going to pull that one again he's hopefully see it and whenever Urahara made an attack which blocked their view of him you could bet he'd be exhanging bodies and using a gigai, or that was the theory anyway. Keeping Urahara in his sights as he asked Ana to form one of her strongest possible shields was so that Urahara could be hit hard at the slightest open chance they had.

With Zangetsu in hand Ichigo flash stepped appearing before Urahara atempting a swing at him only for Urahara to dodge with certain positioning only escaping with a mere slice to his clothing before he pushed his palm to Ichigo's chest it looked like Kidou but Ichigo wasnt going to hang around to find out flash stepping to sppear behind Urahara before looking over seeing Ana forming her shield trying to time it right. ''Getsuga Tensho!'' he began as he slammed his zanpakuto into the ground sending a pressured blast of his reiatsu into the ground beneath Urahara just as Ana sent out her sheild at Urahara.

The ground no longer taking the pressuring attack exploded up and out the same time that An;s shield reached Urahara making it imposible for Urahara to see either attack or where they were coming from. Ichigo flash stepped his way out of the explosion as the ground cracked up kicking up a whirlwind of reiatsu with Urahara in the centre of it. It travelled up and slammed into the very top of the basement grounds before Ichigo reappeared beside Ana watching the blast slowly begin to settle down. Watching carefully Ichigo awaited to see Urahara's whereabouts looking all over the place because Ichigo had a suspicion he wasnt dead at all.

[Shoshi Ana]

When Ana heard Ichigo say those all too familiar two words her eyes widened, what the hell was he doing! Though she witnessed the attack and soon was covering her face from the blast and debris caused from it, she had to correct her footing as not to be sent backwards from the blast but observed the destruction through the gap between her arms. That was until the ground started being pulled apart near her feet and she quickly jumped backward flipping a few times before landing on her feet where the ground was a bit more stable.

So that had been Ichigo's plans, that was bloody dangerous! What if Urahara or one of them got seriously wounded. She'd give him credit for thinking of a whole new destructive attack strategy though she did hope Urahara was alright, maybe the guy had dodged the blast though. She couldn't help but bite her bottom lip a little worried.

She couldn't see Urahara which was not a good thing. Glancing to Ichigo as he appeared beside her she made a strange face "We need to think of a signal if we are ever to use that attack again" she said raising an eyebrow. She could only imagine the damage it would do to such creatures as Hollows or Espada's and if what Ichigo's dad told Ana was in fact correct they would need something to get rid of the enemy invading their land.

Noticing their backs were open Ana quickly turned around so her back was to Ichigo's "We can't let ourselves be open, got it" she said glancing over her shoulder to Ichigo "We need to keep close, not allow ourselves to be distanced from one another or he can pick us off one by one not as a duo, together we are stronger, so whatever happens stay close, ok" she added before looking around for Urahara. "Hey you don't think we actually killed him that time do you?" she said to Ichigo as she tried to sense where Urahara's spiritual pressure was.
