Think fast, Ichigo, because there's a kid running your way with another two of these things running behind him, growling and lunging at his heels every few steps. It's a good thing this kid is fast and agile on his feet, because if it could down others in a hit, there's no way he could take two on in close-range. Hope's just running as fast as he can to try and gain some distance on it and hopefully find somewhere high he could climb so he could actually use his boomerang (perhaps it's time for him to learn to use another weapons, really).

He looks both panicked and relieved to see someone else, although he's waving frantically for Ichigo to get out of the way so that the Lickers wouldn't notice him as well, not wasting any breath to yell.

The sound of running footsteps draws his attention from the thing at his feet and it only takes a moment for him to see that the newcomer is being chased by more of them. What they are, Ichigo didn't know. But it didn't matter. The one that attacked him obviously wasn't messing around. It had tried to kill him, and from the looks of things now, it looked like more were trying to kill someone else.

Maybe he didn't know what was going on or where he was or how he'd gotten there. That was unimportant. Someone needed help. Ichigo, by dumb luck or design, was there to provide it.

Shunpo closed the distance between them as, heedless to his own safety and the danger the things might pose, Ichigo stepped in between them all. A swipe of Zangetsu, too wild to be effective at actually killing anything, was meant to distract the things from their prey.

"Go on," Ichigo tossed over his shoulder to the other guy. "Find shelter. I got this."

Find shelter? Hope huffed even as he ran past. That wasn't what he had meant. And how had the other guy moved so fast?

He skidded to a stop when he realized that the Lickers weren't following him anymore, instead circling the other guy (was he new? Hadn't seen him around before, and Hope was pretty sure he'd remember seeing a guy carrying a sword around like that) and took a moment to catch his breath

Impale people? Ichigo's mouth pulled back in a grimace as he faced the things, but he took the suggestion about going for the heart seriously. Anything to make this fight easier than the last one
