A little peace? (open)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ukei was silenced very quickly as Ana protectest in Ichigo's defence that he wasnt half hollow he was silent for a moment before he frowned ''Yes...its is living within you...i wonder thats like now...'' he said turning to Ichigo who looked to his side ''No comment'' Ichigo said lazily, he didnt have to tell this guy anything. ''I was under the impression it was embedded with your soul so that makes you hollow...its been controlling your actions i know...and it tranforms you'' he continued. Ichigo sighed.''Sorry im just intrigued'' Ukei said. ''Beleive me if you had this hollow i would be too...just leave it at that'' Ichigo said to him

Ichigo then turned his attention back to Ana as she explained about how she was trainning Orihime up he nodded a little, it sounded like a good idea lately he had been able to understand her power a bit better she had explained some of it to him and he could see those weird fairies that lived inside her hairpins and how not everyone could see them. He had also had the opportunity to battle alongside her and she shyed away from fights so maybe Ana could help her out there. ''Just go easy on her'' he said gently before he agreed to not tell her where they were going for her own peace of mind at least.

He smirked a little at Ana suggesting if his 'friends' would be ok with him leaving ''Fine...it will have to be...besides ive had all the trainning i need im ready to fight and properly'' he told her as he then looked to Ukei after agreeing to come along ''I dont care why your coming im just greatful you are!'' he said only for Ukei to smile ''Oh...wow really...thanks very much Ichigo i feel wanted'' he said only for Ichigo to cut him off ''Dont get your hopes up i still think your an ass!'' he smirked to him as he turned and walked a few steps ''Ana you can make portals cant you?'' he said and looked over his shoulder.

He remembered clearly that she was able to do this for them once before. But he was ready for all of this so much trainning and hard work had gone into the current level of power he had it must pay off surly and be able to protect and use his power how he choose it was his to use.

[Shoshi Ana]

She didn’t believe this guy, what the hell was so interesting about there being a Hollow inside Ichigo, it was a horrible thing to have she imagined, she’d seen the struggle Ichigo had to go through. “Call him a Hollow again and I’ll knock your lights out” Ana said to Ukei. Ana didn’t care how it was linked to Ichigo, it was not Ichigo she was convinced of that and she wouldn’t let Ichigo blame himself when it hurt someone, she didn’t blame him when it bit her, it was not Ichigo’s fault, it was the Hollow’s fault, thankfully Ichigo was unaware it had bitten her… unless it told him or someone else did.

Ana snorted a little and folded her arms across her chest “If her enemies are not going to go easy on her why should I, they won’t hold back, if they see the slightest opening they’ll take it and end her life in a blink of an eye…” she said frowning before she glanced to Ichigo “I have been holding back on her though… but I don’t tell her that… and you don’t either” she added pointing a finger at him. Ana was tough when teaching people, she taught her brother and sister and didn’t back down, she’d made her brother cry before; she had to break him to teach him that was just her brother though. Of course when she taught her martial arts classes to the first years she was much gentler on them, it’s not like they knew about Hollows.

Ana wanted to make it clear to Orihime that if she backed down, if she showed weakness, if she left herself open her enemies would take advantage of that… hell Ana would if she was evil and Ana played the bad guy in training… only because she knew Orihime was too nice to play the bad guy. She nodded her head glad his friends had trained him all they could for now. Ana looked to Ukei when he said he felt wanted and she smirked a little “Welcome to the group” she said more being a little smug than anything else because he’d have to get use to Ichigo’s attitude as looked back to Ichigo raising an eyebrow, he could have been a little nicer but this was Ichigo.

“Of course I can… you know that” she said wanting to slap him in the back of the head for his stupidity but didn’t she simply walked over to him “Oh… you want me to make one here… now?” she asked. She’d have to get into the right mind frame and quickly if that’s what he wanted, it was no easy task and it was not something she practiced, it was not exactly and easy skill to learn. She thought they’d go to Urahara first or something, if not she had to make a quick phone call to him. She didn’t want Orihime worrying and she needed to ask him to tell her uncle where she was going or what she was doing because he knew about Shinigami’s, his father was one, his brother had been one.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ukei widened his eyes upon hearing Ana's warning to not refer to Ichigo as hollow he paused before he glanced to Ichigo, now he thought about it, did seem a little harsh to just out right call a human hollow, something evil could reside within him. ''My apologies...'' Ukei began. ''It seems no matter how hollow your human intincts still remain giving you logic and reason your human emotion is still there unlike the hollows'' he nodded towards him. Ichigo frowned with suspicion ''Um...is that your way of saying i feel lack of emotion!!'' he quickly said. ''Uh..n-no um...actually all you heard was my apology'' he said and quickly shut up.

Ichigo was still very much unaware of his hollow tearing into Ana biting her it sounded so unlike him that he'd never even link the idea together. If only others knew what went though Ichigo's mind probably best they didnt really know! The idea was crazy him harming one of his friend by a fault of his own would definalty be a wake up call to get his butt in gear and start sorting his hollow problem out but well he had already done so. He'd probably dislike the idea if he did ever find out but he didnt so what he didnt know couldnt harm him.

Ichigo then heard Ana speak of not going easy on Orihime because her enemies sure werent, didnt he know the amount of times he'd watched that girl get caught up in the crossfire was enough to make him want to protect her. Ichigo had never wanted to sheild someone from being hurt as much as her the very thought of her being harmed wasnt even right his friends were important and so was their safety and wellbeing. Hearing how no enemy was going to hold back and they'd take the slightest chance to attack her made Ichigo frowned more ''Then i'll kick the shit out of the guy who dares touch her'' he began but well he couldnt be around her all the time so he saw her point there. ''Ok fair point....just...be a little understanding with her is all'' he said to Ana. He had never seen Ana's way of trainning but he had seen her fight and he could imagine she'd push Orihime to her limits but then again being push to your limits was exsactly how Ichigo himself had grown stronger.

Ukei looked from Ana to Ichigo as they discussed trainning someone up he looked confused but didnt ask. But he smiled as Ana welcomed him to the group only for Ichigo to still be stubborn he smirked ''Such a hot head arent you'' he grinned Ichigo only shot him a glare as he had walked forwards giving Ana's some space to create a portal. Ukei frowned ''You can make portals! oh well this will be easy...'' he said.

Ichigo looked to Ana and nodded as she reminded him she could create portals very well he remebered the ones she had made before once to Hueco Mundo infact it had been a while since he'd travelled to Hueco Mundo so he wondered what they were gonna see and witness over there but he hoped to find Nel alive and well or so he hoped maybe they'd get to the bottom of this mystery.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was glad Ukei apologised for his words though she made a small face after it and sighed, why couldn’t he just leave it at the apologising, why’d he have to say all the other stuff too? Of course she understood what he was talking about but she also understood where Ichigo had gotten confused.

She glanced to Ichigo and smiled a little. “Don’t worry, I know what it’s like to be in Orihime’s shoes…” she added and glanced away “believe me on that” she then glanced back to Ichigo “You’re more than welcome to come and watch, perhaps you can give her some tips yourself? I was thinking actually of having you join one of our sessions. I was going to tie you up as the victim, Orihime would have to try get you and I’d be the bad guy she had to get through” Ana added laughing a little before it all vanished “But you are welcome to come and watch even if you want to do some training with me, that’s fine too” she said.

Ana made a small face, easy, who was Ukei kidding, it was not an easy thing it required a lot of time and energy and focus, it was the hardest thing she ever did being a big sister was easier than making a portal and being a big sister to 3 was not easy especially when one hated you. She glanced to Ukei nodding her head “Yea I can make them” she said as she pulled her phone out and started typing something before scrolling through her contacts and pressed send, a simple message to Urahara before she put her phone away and turned her back to Ichigo and Ukei.

“Please both be quiet or this won’t work properly” she said and closed her eyes placing her hands together focussing on what she needed to do, both mentally and physically. Ana looked deep inside herself imagining a little box just like her father had once told her, the box is your personal Pandora’s box, inside lies your true potential, all the energy you need, open the box to achieve greatness but never leave it open for too long or you’ll lose control and everything you know and love will be in great danger. When you’ve finished what you need to do close your box and lock it so it cannot be open at any time. It took her awhile to understand what he truly meant by that until a few years ago when she discovered it meaning of it.

With this in mind she focussed on the box relaxing her body and took in a deep breath before she opened it up, to Ana it was like a wave of energy that sent her hair flying around as she closed her eyes tighter and focussed on Hueco Mundo sliding one leg back to balance herself better before her hands both went out and she opened her eyes using her energy to start to open a portal as it seemed like space before her was ripping apart. Ana did not understand how this all worked all she knew was the desire to get to another place took over, it’s what drove her but it did require a lot of energy as she cringed.

The loud rushing noise of wind filled her ears and she narrowed her eyes down, she was almost there. Her feet dug into the ground more before she felt the connection on the other side and nodded her head “Go!” she yelled. She could not keep it open forever, already she could feel herself getting weak though imagined her box still open, imagined Hueco Mundo on the other side. While Ana did not know where they would appear on Hueco Mundo she knew they would get there, hell there could be a Hollow waiting on the other side, she did not know. Ana’s back knee buckled under her as she knelt down, she’d go in last because the portal would start the close behind her the moment she lowered her hands and would vanish the moment she stepped out on the other side, it’s just the way it worked.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo looked to Ana with a fixed frown as she explained how she knew what it was like to be in Orihime's situation he looked confused a little wondering what she meant by it, but he figured Ana must of been battle shy or to a similar point of Orihime he wasnt sure but he nodded a little before raised his eyebrows hearing her offer if he'd want to watch or maybe even join in and act as a goal for Orihime to reach. ''Uh...'' he began but somethings ran through his mind all the tims he had seen Orihime fight and how it had ended or what had occured he shook his head a little getting rid of the thought. ''If i watch her i'd wanna jump in there and help her...'' he said with a small smile because it was just a habit of his.


Ukei looked between them before he looked to Ana seeing she was preparing to make up a portal he was curious as to how these portals were made normally back where the zero division were located the portals were made up so easily that he never really had to think about them, well it wasnt really him making up these portals. They both nodded when she asked them to be quiet and he stood back a bit as did Ichigo to allow her to concentrate. They see how Ana was tapping into her power and using it to create a portal from thin air so it seemed Ichigo smirked a little ''Told you she could!'' Ichigo said to Ukei before he heard Ana tell them to go. Ichigo nodded ''Nice job Ana!'' he said before he ran through the portal in hopes he would arrive in Heuco Mundo. Ukei looked in disbeleif before he smiled ''Pretty impressive...'' he said before he stepped up towards the portal after Ichigo had disappeared. ''See you on the other side!'' he said before he too ran through the portal.

(OCC:Sorry its short! and did you wanna start another thread in Hueco Mundo's desserts?)
