It was such a lovely summers day Ana had left the house to go explore a little. Maybe she would go to the beach later, watch the sunset own there with some fish and chips or something, didn't sound so bad now did it. Ah but until such time she had the entire day to look around and shop and do whatever she wanted, she had no classes to teach or help out with today at the dojo so she was as free as a bird. So she thought.
Her pocket started vibrating which had her look down and pull her phone out. It was a message from her brother, apparently he was in trouble and needed her help. Believing him she hurried to his location only to find when he arrived he was completely fine simply giving her a blank expression. Panting a little she leaned forwards catching her breath before huffing and flicked her hair over her shoulder grabbing her brother by the shirt. He was taller than she was now but it still didn't mean he could escape her.
"You little in-grateful prick! I thought you were in serious trouble! Honestly brother this has to stop, one day you're going to get into serious trouble and ask for my help and I'll think you're joking around!"
"Ah who cares. You'll still come to my aid anyway. You made a promise remember..."
"Shut up! You don't get it do you. Ah why do I even bother" she let her brother's shirt go and rubbed her forehead "Just go home already I haven't got time for this shit" and with that she walked away from her brother only glancing over when she heard him calling to some of his friends. Honestly he'd be the death of her one day. Frowning she sighed and looked around, this was always just a game to her brother, he never really got it. He could see the spirits, the hollows but he never took it seriously, not the way she did. So naturally when he said he was in trouble Ana always assumed the worse, he was her little brother after all.
Walking around she saw a stall that sparked an interest, might be a little early for something sweet but who cared, not her. She walked over ordering a cherry flavored ice and handed over the money thanking the man as he thanked her and then started walking down the mall street munching away on her flavored ice.

''Thanks so much it finally arrived'' came a voice of a woman as Ichigo stood in front of her door handing over a
small package. ''Yeah, yeah just sorry for the delay and stuff'' the orange haired teen sighed as he crossed
off a name on a checklist. He walked off anot too pleased look on his face as begun to look up the next errand
that was his responsibility ''Um..ah shit not that guy again'' he thought as he reached the next name, man he
hated that guy, all he did was complain mostly about Ichigo but he somehow admired Ikumi his boss.
Walking to the front door Ichigo braced himself for alot of criticism, he knocked and awaited before a guy opened up
his door and immediately frowned at Ichigo. ''Look i dont have time for your crap just take your stuff and im off'' Ichigo
began. ''Hmmm how about a little more friendliness eh Kurosaki'' the guy replied. Ichigo scowled before he forced a slight
smile ''There that wasnt difficult was it'' he guy said and took his parcel. ''Oh and i need some help carrying some heavy boxes next week im expecting a delivery, ill make sure its you shall i?'' he said. Ichigo gave him a glare but he bit his
tongue his real comment couldnt be said or he'd get sacked.
He walked back out into the street looking up to the sun, geez it was way too ot today, he suddenly heard some chatter looking to his left he frowned before slowly walking in that direction. He stopped seeing a group of punk looking like kids messing about with a much younger kid. Ichigo looked on boredly at them before he stepped forward ''What is this, please tell me your not beating him up for his lunch money or something, grow up'' Ichigo said to the group of boys. They all looked round ''RUN!'' one shouted ''Oh come on im not that scary'' Ichigo called out to them with a smirk as the boys fled. He glanced back round to the young boy and looked a little sympathetic with him, it made him think how the hell did he himself ever let bullies get the better of him he would kick their asses if he had been such a wimp when he was younger. ''Get up kid'' Ichigo said the young boy stood he thanked Ichigo before he run.
Ichigo huffed a little, did he really scare kids that much they'd run away, he almost smirked at the thought before he picked up a familar reaitsu. He looked round and spotted his red headed friend Ana. ''Taking a break Ana?'' he said.

There was a voice that suddenly pricked her ears,she knew that voice! Looking up and around she spotted that all too familiar spiky orange hair. Smiling she waved a hand "Hey Ichigo" she called out before walking over to him taking another bite of her ice in the process before nodding her head at Ichigo's question. Of course she was taking a break, everyone needed a break at times, to just do nothing really, chill out and take a step back from the craziness of life.
"Yea. Can't fight Hollows all the time you know. Even I need a break" she added "And it's too nice of a day to be locked up inside." Which she thought was true, the sun was out, the weather was hot, the air was clean, it was a great day to be out and about to be exploring the town. She had no intention of really going anywhere or buying anything just to walk around, something would catch her attention at some point or another.
Though why was Ichigo here? "Ah... so what are you doing?" Oh was he hunting Hollows? Maybe he was looking for someone, she didn't know, wouldn't surprise her if he was hunting Hollows, they tended to run into one another when he was hunting. Come to think of it Ana couldn't remember many times when she was not helping Ichigo fight Hollows.
"Got any big plans for your holiday?" she asked him, she knew Keigo wanted to get the guys together to do some gangster movie night or something. She recalled when she'd been birthday present hunting with Keigo for Ichigo that he had mentioned he missed hanging with the guys.

Ichigo watched Ana for a moment and it seemed she recognised him from voice alone, then again he did have a distinct and harsh sounding voice another reason some feared him. He gave a nod as she approached him letting a hand slip into a pocket the other gripping the checklist he'd very much need to carry out his job. He noticed Ana seemed her happy self. ''Makes sense....nice to chill out once in a while...forget what that's like now'' he said to her.
It had been way too nice a day the past week what summer should be, he could just imagine he's goof of a dad out sunbathing some place not to mention scaring half the public with his antics. He knew his sisters were off out probably to head to the beach. He turned his attention back onto Ana as she questioned what he was up to. ''Working'' he simply replied not sounding all too enthusiastic about it, but hey at least he got to work outside and not cooped up indoors.
''I know right, me not in my Shinigami gear acting like a normal guy and working, i'll take adventure anyday'' he sighed. He suddenly heard a loud ring from his phone causing him to almost curse but he stopped himself and reached into his other pocket answering his phone immediately hearing his boss raging ''Im doing it already!! im not talking to anyone'' he lied before he frowned, was she spying on him. He looked around and then glanced behind him seeing if he could spot Ikumi watching.
He abruptly ended the call and looked to Ana ''She's on to me'' he began before Ana had asked him about his holiday plans ''Well nothing huge but probably arrange something with Keigo and Mizuiro'' he said. He knew that his school results would soon be available he was dreading it he'd put in so much work the passed months he had go be a rebel and not such a nerd like Ishida for a bit. ''You caught up with any of the others recently?'' he asked, he hadn't seen Chad or Orihime in a while he'd be sure to drop them a text later.

Of course it made she was the one mentioning it. Ana simply nodded her head, she could make sense sometimes. But indeed Ichigo seriously needed a time out from Shinigami duties, he was always off running around and jumping from building to building hunting hollows, was crazy really.
Ana wrinkled her nose up when he said working, a word of sin that was especially on a day like today. Who wanted to work when they could be having fun! When his phone rang Ana watched and smirked a little as he lied, maybe that was his boss on the other end. Oh had Ichigo been slacking off today? Ah could she say she was so surprised by that though.
"I know they'd like that" which was true, she knew Keigo would be wrapped, she'd avoid his utter joyful bliss for a few days. "Oh well I caught up with Orihime and Tatsuki the other day and I was pretty sure I saw Uryu doing his quincy practice in the woods. Other than that not really" she shook her head and shrugged her shoulders "We should arrange something. I know Keigo and the others were all talking about taking a trip away for a long weekend. Mizuiro knows a place. Said I'd talk you into it and by that I mean drag you by the ear" she gave Ichigo a big smile "No but seriously it could be fun if we all went away somewhere, we might not get the chance to for awhile" again she shrugged her shoulders and took another bite of her ice before looking to Ichigo once more.
"Do you want any help with your job? I got nothing else to do and extra hands make the job go faster." Of course it was only a suggestion, he didn't have to take her help if he didn't want to.

Ichigo was hearing Ana out seeing how all the others were doing he really needed to catch up with them especially seeing as he had some free time well, sort of his other job with Ikumi had sort of got busy all of s sudden, it was fairly busy usually just that Ichigo always fobbed her off with some terrible excuse and somehow Ikumi let him get away with it, he was late all the time and when she complained at him he threaten to leave only for her to encourage him to stay, he knew she'd always do that, Ichigo could be quite sneaky when he wanted to be.
He did wonder if Ana had a job by the look on her face she seemed to hate the word, 'work' ''Thought you had a job too?'' he began. He nodded in agreement he'd be sure to contact his friend in some way to catch up, sometimes he just visited them if he happened to be passing. He didn't answer his phone often so it was better in person. But Ana was all up to date with them but he was glad they all sounded to be ok. Ichigo did however have a look of disapproval when she mentioned Ishida training in the woods, what was that guy planning surly he should study like mad with the grades he gets.
Ichigo suddenly scowled when Ana spoke of a little arrangement everyone had come up with and how Ana would quite happily drag him by his ear there. ''Like to see you try'' he smirked. But it sounded like a good idea what kind of trouble could they get into with Keigo there probably a little too much.
He suddenly heard another noise from his phone and grumbled in annoyance checking his phone seeing a message reading ''I see you and ill come beat you!!'' Ichigo had a look of surprise on his face before he frowned ''She's not kidding either'' he thought before Ana offered to help cut the work in half ''Alright, well I got plenty of errands and things to help out with in the neighbourhood if you dare'' he said to her putting is phone away again and glancing to the list. ''Uh lets see...this way'' he said walking forwards. ''This girl is a psychopath she loses it over nothing'' he began looking towards a house he was approaching.

Yes Ana had a job as she nodded her head at him "I work down at the dojo... ah but no classes today. My little assassins are taking the day off" she added, a wicked grin flickered across her face for a moment before her face returned to normal. Yea she liked teaching others how to defend themselves for sure but she also liked having her days off. And besides kids could sometimes become a bit of a handful when they wanted to be.
Ana laughed at Ichigo and nodded her head, she was up for the challenge, though she was likely to drag him by the collar of his shirt than his ear, or she'd con his father into dragging him along for them all instead, she was sure he would be up for it. "But seriously, think about it ok, might be good for you to get away for a bit you know" ah but alas now she was getting all wise, best to shut up before she got ahead of herself.
Ana blinked looking to Ichigo's phone before smiling a little "Ah you'll be fine. I'll protect you" Ana added before laughing and nodded her head "Right. Here to help boss... ah but don't think that means you can boss me around too much ok" didn't want him getting too big of a head now. She followed Ichigo. So he was a what an errand boy or something? Interesting.
"She an old lady?" Ana whispered to Ichigo "Or maybe a crazy cat lady?" she mumbled though kept quiet as they got closer to the house. She was not sure what Ichigo meant by psychopath though, what was his definition of the word?

Ichigo looked at Ana in surprise, so she did have a job a great one at a dojo he was aware she worked but didn't have a clue where. ''You work there...wow'' he began almost a little impressed but he didn't admit it too much. He would find that kind of job interesting it was in his nature all things action but then again kids weren't Ichigo strong point sure he'd taken care of Nel when he just thought she a little kid but he didn't have the time or patience. ''I'd love to have a go at doing a job like that, but minus kids'' he said to Ana ''Somehow I think I'd scare them'' he smirked, he'd already scared of a bunch of kids moments ago.
Ichigo looked on in confusement as she laughed, she wasn't really going to drag him little did he know she'd turn his dad on him, now he would physically drag him. He nodded ''Ok im thinking about it now'' he began before he paused looked up a bit in thought ''Alright...cant hurt I guess...but can I at least still take my combat pass...just incase?'' he said knowing that his badge always alerted him of any nearby threats.
He noticed Ana look to his phone seeing he'd received more messages from his boss ''Ive got like a tonne of abusive messages on here you'd think I'd really upset her or something'' he smirked. He frowned when she said she'd protect him ''You aint seen what she like in person yet'' he said this woman kidnapped him from school and tied him up she was unusual to put it best.
Ichigo almost grinned when Ana called him 'boss' was about time he ordered her around ''Not too much bossing around I cant promise nothing'' he said recalling the time he had automatically carried out a task Ana had asked him to do way back when they were off in Hueco Mundo.
Being an errand boy had its ups but also downs he got to meet some odd people and some pretty great ones too but he wasn't sure how long he could keep this job up for it was just some extra cash to fund his university hopes that were fast approaching, he had it all figured out rather quickly when he actually thought about it.
Ichigo glanced to Ana as she wondered who this woman was he wa describing as crazy ''No shes not old more like 30 something...im guessing'' he said in thought. ''But she always invites me in even if Im just dropping off a package...swear shes got someone locked in a room upstairs...'' he said as he began to remember his last visit to the woman.
''Well this is it...'' he said about to knock on the door but it suddenly opened up ''I was waiting ages for you I could see you guys outside talking come in come in'' a woman said. She seemed pretty ordinary with a slightly eccentric personality. ''No no...its fine just needed to ask you if you need any errands running for next week?'' Ichigo asked her.

Nodding her head she gave Ichigo a small smile, yea that's where she worked, she'd studied at the dojo for as long as she could remember especially after her father died, she worked just as hard because she no longer had the extra help. Was ironic really that now she was working there but she wouldn't have it any other way, she couldn't see herself going back to something else and it was rather fun teaching kids. "Ah yes, kids can certainly try ones patience haha and you frighten kids, never" she held back a laugh. Yea she could just see it now Ichigo walking in, all shadow like, spiky hair, straight face and booming voice telling the kids what to do, oh no how could no one be frightened of that. "You know... sometimes the older teaches need assistance with the older groups... you could always volunteer" she added shrugging her shoulders. If he ever got bored with this job there was that option.
It was good to know Ichigo was taking the idea of everyone getting away seriously, though when he asked if he could take his combat badge she smirked a little before seeming to think. Kind of funny she thought, him asking if he could bring something, almost like he was asking for permission. "Hmm... well... I suppose. Better safe than sorry" she added the last bit nodding her head. "I'll let everyone know you're down for it, they'll be really excited"
Abusive text messages, wait kind of woman did he work for? She couldn't help but frown a little, no staff member should be abused, maybe his boss was just pushy. Hmm, Ana was not sure but the woman should respect her staff members not abuse them.
"Hey don't let the power go to your head" she said frowning a little, of course she had to tell him not to boss her around too much, she couldn't guarantee he wouldn't though just as she couldn't agree she would do everything he said but if it was in risk of his job then she'd help as much as she could and then kill him later... maybe.
Ana smirked a little holding her comment to herself when Ichigo explained how the woman always invited him inside, he was so paranoid. When they got to the door the woman did not seem that psychopathic. She seemed somewhat nice actually though she'd been watching them? Ok that was kind of creepy, maybe that was how Ichigo's boss knew he was talking to someone, oh so this woman was a tattletale then. Maybe she was just lonely and wanted some company. Glancing to Ichigo she then looked to the woman again. "Ah what he means is we are sorry to keep you waiting, it was my fault in all honesty I was checking something. But unfortunately we have a lot of things to do today and are simply stopping by to make sure everything is ok so far and if you will need anything done in the next week" she said with a small smile.

Ichigo gave a nod of agreement, kids just seem to look at him and think he was some kind of bully that and the fact he'd built up a bad reputation. He'd never really tried to get a kid to listen to him besides they had extremely short attention spans much like his. Ichigo frowned as Ana spoke of him never scaring off kids ''Sarcasm in that!'' he said a small smirk appearing. He gave an approving look as Ana metioned how they may need helpers for the older classes. ''I could spare some more time....right?'' he said sounded like he was questioning if he could squeeze the hours in somewhere, or if he just quit his current errand job.
''What the hells that look for?...'' he suddenly said catching her smirk after he wanted to take his badge with him, the fact he'd asked permission didn't even cross his mind so far, if it did then he'd be surprised at himself. But taking his badge with him was like taking your work with you when you go on holiday. The need to watch over the town was embedded in his subconscious mind it seemed. ''Yeah, don't wanna be caught out with no power'' he said. He of course have to catch Ana off guard and boss her about see if she noticed just like he had done.
Ichigo seemed to keep his distance to some and this woman was one of them, she seemed to know what he was doing and recall where he had been about town and now she had been watching Ana. The woman turned her attention to Ana who explained as to why they were a little delayed ''You don't have to explain now just come on in'' she said. ''Hey do you need your rubbish bags taken out again, like I did last time?'' Ichigo asked diverting. She nodded ''Yeah i do...oh and i need this posted....but come sit down'' she replied.
Ichigo glanced to Ana then back to the woman ''Alright, just for a while...'' he said before waiting for Ana to go first he saw it as this woman needed some things shifted and moved and he could do so while inside.
