/I'm picking sides & pulling the strings

[wrathoflove]

[ This is Ichigo, with eyes like a wolf in the depths of night, hollow mask cracked as he fights off a herd of rampaging Menos Grande trying to attack Seireitei; because he might not be exclusively aligned with the shinigami, but he's not about to just stand back and let the place get slammed by hungry enemies. No sirree.

'Scuse him, Ninth, Sixth

[You know. At first, he's just watching, masking his reiatsu to avoid being a distraction to the fight happening. And he certainly has no alliances with the Shinigami either, and least of all any sort of 'let's be friends' pact with Kurosaki.

But that doesn't mean he can't use the "training". Because really? That's all this will be for him.

So this is one of those Menos just in front of Ichigo getting a Cero to the feet, to knock it off balance.]

It seems you could use some assistance.

[Don't complain boy. Don't complain.]

[wrathoflove]

[ He stills his sword, lowering it from an intended slash. o hai thar, Ully. ]

You're late.

[ Because Inoue loves you, you have no excuse not to be here, in his opinion. Shunpoing up the mask of the nearest Menos, he slices off a corner, failing to deliver a fatal blow as it tries to nom on his feet. ]

[pedraojo]

[Oh, that's sort of amusing, though.]

I hadn't realized you were expecting me.

[But never mind that, as he's looping around to go for a Menos that's trying to take a swipe at Ichigo, sonídoing forward and up to slice at the offending clawed hand.

Clearly, he has your back, Ichigo. Don't take that for granted.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Oh, he won't, too busy launching a Getsuga at an ugly fellow with a mind to skewer him with his nose.

Oh, no, wait - that's a Cero in his mouth. ]

Hoped you'd catch on sooner or later!

[ Feck.

Whirls another Getsuga around his sword, shunpoing right into the line of fire to slam the red Cero head-on, black forcing back the red. Hell, he's taken hits from Ulquiorra and Grimmjow before, this Cero's not gonna make him flit away like a scared little butterfly. ]

HIHOU ZABIMARU!

[Time to earn that newly-acquired haori, Renji.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Well, shit, look who got a little pimped out. ]

Renji!

[ Can't see his grin, but he'll distract that Menos from stepping on you. ]

[inkedstray]

[He can strut like hell in this, trufax.]

Yo, Ichigo!

[Thanks for that, now Zabimaru will eat it's face. OMNOMNOM.]

[wrathoflove]

Byakuya's gonna kick your ass for yoinking that.

[ Nods to the haori. HOW'D YOU GEDDIT, HUH? Theft! Nyahaha~ be prepared for some super teasing in the future, buddy. ]

[fangswillreach]

Holy crap, where did those come from?

[Draws Zabimaru and hurries towards the Menos, feeling Ichigo's reiatsu close by.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Fweeeeee~ up here, zipping about like an annoying bug. ]

[fangswillreach]

[Hello, bugman. Here's your buddy.]

Save some for the rest of us, Kurosaki!

[wrathoflove]

Move your ass and I won't have to slow down for you!

[ NYEAH NYEAH. ]

[crimsonlacehime]

[Well, what can she say? Bitch loves to cut things. And has also been stuck in a stick for the past whoknowshowlongshelostcount.

Consequently, have a sudden burst of crimson slicing up through you, looming Menos. And a rather large smirk from the woman-in-black who dealt the blow. Benihime, as has just been illustrated, likes to slice.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Takes note and makes sure not to get in her way. Doesn't want his mask confusing a stranger as to who's on her side. ]

[crimsonlacehime]

[Wise move, there, Ichigo. Though she knows perfectly well who you are - having nothing better to do but listen to the yammerings of a be-sandaled shop keeper leaves you picking up on things like that - she's in no mood to do anything but slice'n'dice. And that means just about anything that gets in the way~

She'll just be blasting those Menos for a bit, don't mind her. And waiting for someone to bleed, too. A little blood could come in handy.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Will leave her be, not about to get chummy with Urahara's zanpakutou if he isn't around. ]

[suitensakamake]

[As per the earlier orders from the soutaichou, the ninth, sixth and thirteenth is now on border patrol, instead of the eleventh. Drawing Nejibana, Kaien releases it with a quick 'suiten sakamake' before sending off a wave towards the closest Menos, whirling the water around it. The menos didn't seem to to care - until the water got sharp.]

Mizu hari!

[You look like a hedgehog, Menos-san.]

[wrathoflove]

[ WELL NO ONE TELLS ICHIGO WHO'S DOING WHAT THESE DAYS, baaaaaaw.

Startled by a fleck of water, he shunpos out of the way just before it starts dicing up the Menos. Holy shit. ]

[suitensakamake]

[Awww, poor strawberry. Niisan can fill him in.

...that's a nicely diced Menos. Looks like it's ready for a stew. Chopped and washed.

Grinning, Kaien shunpos up in the air to get a better overview of the battle.]

[wrathoflove]

[ Rubs his head; crikey, Kaien, you almost gave him a haircut! Watch those orange strands filter off his hand. ]

Don't look at me if you get a Getsuga up your ass!
