Urahara Shop.
"This Spiritual Pressure! It's Mr. Kensei, and..."
"Soifon," Yoruichi Shihōin added, appearing silently beside Kisuke Urahara.
The duration of Soifon's Spiritual Pressure eruption was very brief, but Yoruichi Shihōin certainly didn't believe that Soifon would be instantly killed by those guys from the Visoreds.
Then there was only one answer.
"The battle is already over. I hope that group from the Visoreds hasn't been killed..."
Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihōin stepped out of the shop's doorway, their figures flashing as they disappeared from the spot.
Inside the underground training ground.
Soifon ignored the wary gazes of the Visoreds, her eyes landing on Ichigo Kurosaki in the corner.
"Ichigo."
"Why are you here? Yuzu and Karin told me that you went to club activities after school today."
Ichigo Kurosaki opened his mouth, one hand unconsciously scratching his short orange hair at the back of his head.
"Uh... actually..."
His voice grew quieter and quieter, his eyes darting around, not daring to meet Soifon's gaze.
At this moment, an abrupt voice came from the top of the stairs.
"Excuse the intrusion~~"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of wooden clogs stepping on the concrete stairs, Kisuke Urahara's figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
And almost simultaneously with Kisuke Urahara's appearance, Yoruichi Shihōin also stood on the steps, her burning gaze locked onto Soifon in the training ground.
She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down, but her hands hanging by her sides remained tightly clenched into fists, her nails leaving red marks on her palms.
Perhaps Kisuke Urahara had already told Yoruichi part of the inside story, preventing her from impulsively rushing up to confront Soifon again.
"Could you tell me what happened?" Kisuke Urahara looked around. "Miss Soifon, Mr. Hirako, little Ichigo?"
The training ground was quiet for a few seconds.
Immediately after, Shinji Hirako spoke up awkwardly,
"Soifon came looking for little Ichigo, but we overreacted a bit on our end, and some... happened..."
"Um, minor friction..."
He was referring to the people on his side being unilaterally pressed against the ground and rubbed into the dirt by Soifon.
Soifon, however, didn't immediately respond to Kisuke Urahara's question. Her gaze remained on Ichigo Kurosaki, and she furrowed her brow slightly.
Ever since Kisuke Urahara came in, Ichigo Kurosaki's condition was clearly a bit off.
He kept his head down, one hand tightly covering his face. His breathing had become heavy and irregular, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.
"Kill... him..."
"Kill... Kisuke Urahara..."
An extremely soft murmur leaked from between Ichigo Kurosaki's fingers.
Soifon's gaze shifted slowly between Ichigo Kurosaki and Kisuke Urahara. After noticing the awkward expression on Kisuke Urahara's face, a guess slowly formed in her heart.
"Hey, Kisuke Urahara," Soifon suddenly spoke up. "It seems the Hollow inside Ichigo has a particular grudge against you, doesn't it?"
Opening his folding fan, Kisuke Urahara smiled bitterly and shook his head, recounting how he had told Ichigo Kurosaki to be wary of the Hollow power inside his body.
Around the time Zangetsu manifested physically and left Ichigo's body, Kisuke Urahara noticed that the Hollow power within Ichigo was beginning to awaken. Therefore, he specifically went to warn Ichigo, casually explaining White's origins in the process.
After all, from Kisuke Urahara's perspective, Ichigo Kurosaki's power was immense. If he were controlled by the Hollow inside him, the threat would certainly be no less than Aizen's. So, he recommended Ichigo to the Visoreds' side.
Listening to Kisuke Urahara's explanation, the dissatisfaction Soifon felt toward him only grew heavier.
At the edge of the training ground, Ichigo Kurosaki's roars were growing louder and louder.
"Tsk, tsk... Kisuke Urahara, and you Visoreds, are your brains all broken?"
"Did you really think that with your level of strength, you could suppress the Hollow inside Ichigo?"
"If Ichigo Kurosaki didn't want to kill people, you would have all been slaughtered by White long ago."
Sneering, Soifon watched as Ichigo Kurosaki was about to enter his Hollowfied state, and she walked forward without looking back.
As her words fell, the expressions of everyone present, aside from Yoruichi, turned rather ugly.
Seeing that Ichigo Kurosaki's Hollowfication was nearing completion, Soifon couldn't be bothered to explain things to them. Her majestic Spiritual Pressure crashed down like a waterfall onto every single member of the Visoreds...
"It seems you all aren't capable of listening properly."
Boom—
In an instant, the underground training ground gained eight extra 'rugs' flat on the floor, along with Kisuke Urahara, whose hunched figure was supported by his Zanpakutō.
What kind of Spiritual Pressure is this...
Were we just fighting this kind of monster...
With this kind of strength, why are you even hanging around with Aizen? In a few years, even the Captain-Commander will have to step down for you...
The Visoreds, pressed flat against the ground by the Spiritual Pressure, managed to lift their heads with difficulty, glaring unwillingly at the petite figure standing not far away from them.
At this moment, the only ones left standing in the arena were Yoruichi, Soifon, and Ichigo Kurosaki.
At the top of the stairs leading to the surface, Harribel and Nelliel sensed Soifon's erupting Spiritual Pressure and concealed their figures as they quietly peeked down...
Yoruichi could feel the terrifying power hidden within Ichigo Kurosaki's body. Watching Soifon walk toward the Hollowfied Ichigo, she instantly appeared beside Soifon and grabbed her wrist.
"Soifon..." Yoruichi tugged on her to halt her steps. "Don't go over there. He's very dangerous right now."
Soifon stopped her steps and turned her head slightly to look at Yoruichi.
The moment their eyes met, Yoruichi Shihōin subconsciously averted her gaze, avoiding locking eyes with Soifon for too long.
Soifon curled her lips into a smile, her other hand gently covering the back of Yoruichi's hand to comfort her. "It's fine, Lady Yoruichi. Trust me."
Having said that, right in front of everyone, Soifon leaned forward, bringing her face close to Yoruichi's, and lightly pecked her moist lips, separating after a brief touch.
Soifon's sneak attack was successful once again!
What?!
Yoruichi Shihōin's eyes widened perfectly round. Before she even had time to react, the kiss was over...
She completely hadn't expected Soifon to forcibly kiss her again in front of so many people.
You, Soifon, are really going too far!
The two female Arrancars lying prone at the top of the stairs and peeking down were struck as if by lightning. They stared blankly as their Lady Soifon and a purple-haired woman kissed brazenly.
Hiss—
Nelliel couldn't help but glance at Harribel beside her... Could it be that Lady Soifon likes dark skin?!
Beside her, Harribel stared blankly.
So... women can also do this kind of thing with each other?
After all, before meeting Aizen, Harribel had always taken in female Adjuchas. At this moment, she seemed to have opened the door to some kind of new world.
"Hey, Harribel..."
Nelliel elbowed her friend, who was peeking from the side and already drooling.
"What?"
Wiping the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, Harribel's face flushed with a faint, inconspicuous blush under the cover of the night.
"Is your skin naturally that color?"
"Obviously."
Inside the arena, White had completed taking control of the body.
White's murderous eyes immediately locked onto Kisuke Urahara, who was pinned down by Soifon's Spiritual Pressure.
The tip of Zangetsu dragged across the concrete floor, leaving a shallow white trail as White slowly walked toward Kisuke Urahara.
In the next second, Soifon appeared on the straight line between him and Kisuke Urahara without anyone noticing, perfectly blocking his path.
White's footsteps halted. His eerie pupils shifted slightly, landing on Soifon.
Soifon tilted her head slightly, her ringed-braids gently swaying with the movement. "Your consciousness is quite clear. Can we communicate? White."
"What do you want to do."
White asked calmly and warily, holding Zangetsu horizontally in front of himself for protection.
His instinct as a Hollow told him that the Soifon before him exuded a dangerous aura.
"Let's stop here. Ichigo doesn't want to kill anyone. Are you really going to use his body to do this kind of thing?"
Taking a step forward, Soifon raised her hand and touched the thick blade of Zangetsu, gently pushing the sword in White's hand down.
Perhaps these words resonated with the Ichigo Kurosaki inside, as White sensed Ichigo's will not to hurt anyone, and he didn't refute Soifon's words.
The tip of Zangetsu touched the ground once more.
"However, this guy Kisuke Urahara really is quite annoying..."
Without even turning her head, Soifon suddenly slashed out several sharp gusts of wind backward with a hand chop.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
The Visoreds lying prone on the ground, along with Kisuke Urahara who had just barely managed to stand up, were all struck flying by the blade wind and slammed heavily against the concrete walls surrounding the training ground.
Kisuke Urahara's bucket hat flew off. He knelt on one knee, barely supporting his body with his Zanpakutō, while his other hand tightly clutched his chest, blood seeping from between his fingers.
Yoruichi Shihōin sensed everyone's injuries and, after realizing they weren't fatal, closed her slightly parted lips again.
Forget it. It wouldn't be good if Soifon forcibly kissed her again later...
"Oh?" White's voice, accompanied by an electronic effect, rang out. "Are you standing up for me, Soifon?"
"Kisuke Urahara really did do wrong, actually making Ichigo suppress his own sword spirit."
Soifon nodded. "Has your anger subsided now? White."
"Who knows..."
"Forget it. This guy Ichigo is so annoying. I'm heading back."
As he spoke, the mask on White's face began to crack, seemingly about to exit the Hollowfied state voluntarily.
"Wait, White."
"What else is there?"
White looked at Soifon, the speed of the mask peeling off slowing down a bit.
Soifon met his gaze. "You will become Ichigo's power, right?"
"Do you even need to say that?"
White smiled. The remaining mask rapidly peeled off Ichigo Kurosaki's face, shattering and turning into specks of light before dissipating.
The ferocious Spiritual Pressure quickly faded away, and Ichigo Kurosaki reverted back to the orange-haired youth wearing a high school uniform.
Ichigo Kurosaki swayed, dropping to one knee with both hands supporting himself on the ground, gasping heavily for air.
Waiting until he caught his breath, Soifon finally poked Ichigo's shoulder. "Did White appear when Zangetsu materialized?"
Ichigo Kurosaki nodded. "Yes. After Old Man Zangetsu left, that guy said he was also Zangetsu, and my sword didn't lose its abilities just because Old Man Zangetsu left..."
Soifon patted Ichigo Kurosaki's shoulder earnestly.
"Can you try turning back into a Shinigami right now?"
"Release the suppression on White, and try utilizing the three types of power within your body."
Hearing Soifon's words, a look of hesitation flashed across Ichigo Kurosaki's face, but then he nodded seriously.
Compared to Kisuke Urahara, he was much more willing to believe Soifon's words.
Moreover, when White first came out, he was actually quite easy to communicate with, aside from his temper being a bit irritable.
In his Inner World, Zangetsu sensed Ichigo's will and no longer spared power to suppress White, choosing to let go and reconcile.
In the next second, Spiritual Pressure lifted Ichigo Kurosaki's orange hair as Ichigo Kurosaki once again entered his Shinigami state.
What was different from before was that the bluish-black Shihakushō seemed to have an additional layer of white light armor slipped over it, protecting Ichigo Kurosaki's chest and joints.
