《The Mysterious Hunter (Bleach x RWBY)》XIII. A Different Type of Confrontation

Advertisement

*Knock Knock Knock*

Yang: "Oh, Ichigooooo!" she calls through the door.

Ichigo: "Oh... shit..."

What's she doing here!? Wait, she must have questions concerning everyone currently in your dorm. She and the others must have talked and, Yang being Yang, she must have volunteered to find out for everyone else. This is bad. Ozpin, he could fool. Glynda, Ironwood, and that Qrow guy, they defer to Ozpin. But if Ichigo tells Yang and she tells everyone else, they might be able to find something wrong in the story. They come from everywhere but Vacuo, but he knows almost nothing about Vacuo! With the remaining Kingdoms, there might be a detail in any story he tells them that doesn't line up with what one of them knows. Ozpin seemed to take him at his word for the most part, but the others? They, especially people like Ruby, Weiss, and Pyrrha, would ask question after question and that's not something he's prepared for.

*Knock Knock Knock*

Yang: "Ichigo? I know you're there!"

There's no choice. He has to escape. He quickly gets up and speed walks to the window, but Yoruichi steps in front of him, blocking his path.

Yoruichi: "And where do you think you're going, Ichigo? Who is at the door that you're jumping out the window?"

Orihime: "Oh! That's Yang! I'll get it!"

Orihime goes over to the door. There's no time. Ichigo tries to Flash Step Yoruichi, but she's one step ahead of him and puts him in a scissor hold, preventing him from moving as he's being choked by her powerful thighs.

Yang's POV

Orihime opens the door and Yang observes the situation in the room: there's the women Ren and Pyrrha encountered, Kukaku and Nemu, playing with a dust crystal and reading a book, respectively; a girl even shorter than Ruby with black hair and braids; a girl even shorter than the last with short black hair next to her...

Yang: "They must been the Shoy-Fin and Rukia that Ruby talked about..." she says to herself.

Scanning more across the room, she sees Nel not smothering Ichigo for once; four women together and-

Yang (thoughts): 'HOLY FUCK!' She looks at the chests of the two dark-skinned women in that group. 'THEIR CHESTS!' She takes a moment to compose herself. 'So... THAT'S why Ichigo didn't so much as flinch when I pressed mine up against him!?'

Standing in front of her at the door is Orihime, who seems happy to see her for whatever reason. Strange. And then by the window is...

Yang: "Ichigo." Orihime steps aside to let her in. "Why do you have that woman's legs around your face?" she asks calmly.

Misunderstanding exactly what Yoruichi's doing to Ichigo, Yang's furious. That's her man! She claimed him! And now all these girls show up and are packed tightly together in his room!? No.

Yoruichi: "Oh, what's this? Aren't you going to introduce us to your friend, Ichigo?"

Nemu: "Lady Yoruichi, I am detecting hostility from this person. Shall I dispose of her?"

Yoruichi: "No, no, let her be." She tightens her grip on Ichigo's neck. "After all, I think I know who she's angry at here. And why." she says in Yang's direction.

Yang gains a slight blush, but that's barely noticeable compared to the flames coming from her hair and the red in her eyes. This 'Yoruichi' deserves to be punched, but Ichigo's first.

Nemu: "I see. Shall I offer comfort then?"

Yoruichi: "Hmm... Go ahead."

Out of the room, this Nemu is of average height. She's not short like Rukia or Shy-Fish, but she's a few inches shorter than herself or Nel. She goes over to Yang and picks her up, kneels on the ground in front of Ichigo and Yoruichi, and puts Yang's head on her lap, ignoring her rage.

Yang: "What the...?"

Nemu: "There, there. Everything is alright. As you can see, Lady Yoruichi is holding Ichigo down so he doesn't run away. Before you entered the room, he tried to escape out the window, probably to avoid you."

Ichigo: "Hey! I- ACK!"

Yoruichi's grips tightens to prevent him from speaking. Yang's anger starts to turn to curiosity and confusion at the situation. Ichigo's extremely strong, so how is she holding him? Sure, a scissor hold's hard to get out of, but for someone with the strength and skill that Ichigo has, it wouldn't be a problem against a normal opponent. So what's her deal? Maybe she could learn from her...

Yang: "Umm... thank you? So who are you?" she asks Yoruichi. "The others didn't mention you."

3rd Person POV

Yoruichi gains a smirk as the innocent girl asks her question. This could be fun.

Yoruichi: "Oh, not much, I'm just Ichigo's betrothed."

Yang/Ichigo: "WHAT!?"

She immediately gets up from Nemu's lap in anger, but Nemu forces her back down, using a great amount of strength to keep her there. Yang can't move from that spot.

Yoruichi: "That's right. As a matter of fact, everyone in this room, aside from yourself, is set to be married to Ichigo as a result of one situation or another. As for myself, he beat both myself and my father in battle."

Ichigo: "WHY ARE YOU TELLING HER SUCH BULLSHIT YORUICHI!? YANG, IT'S NOT TRUE, I SWEAR!" he very violently protests.

Yoruichi: "Oh, it's true. Remember? My father was going to marry us right then and there, but you skipped out on the wedding, saying that you weren't ready to be married yet." She turns back to Yang. "And so, I've been searching all this time for him, wanting to claim my husband."

Yang could hardly believe what she's hearing. Not only is Ichigo engaged, but to ELEVEN WOMEN!? THAT'S COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT!

...then again, he is Uncle Qrow's son, so it's not that hard to believe. Most stories of his adventures consisted of at least one woman who caught his eye. It only occurred to her now that he probably wasn't telling the entire truth on that topic for both her and especially innocent Ruby's sake. I mean, who in their right mind wants to hear about the sexual conquests of their uncle?

She takes a moment to breathe and calm down. She can't properly yell at Ichigo if she can't control what she's saying. Furthermore, if she doesn't think about what she says, she could end up saying something she'll later regret, like that she loves him or that they're cousins.

Yang: "...so you're all engaged to him?" she asks calmly.

Yoruichi looks over at Sui-Feng and gives her a sly smile, telling her to play along. Sui-Feng would do anything for Yoruichi, including pretending to be Ichigo's... bride...

Sui-Feng: "Y-Yes it is. We are a-all engaged to Ichigo. We're g-going to be his... forever..." she forces out.

Nel: "Ichigo and I are gonna be together forever!" she innocently misunderstands due to both her childlike personality and lack of understanding of human customs like marriage.

Kukaku: "Yep! Me and him are shackin' up!" she plays along.

Yoruichi: "See? We're all-"

Ichigo finally breaks out of her grasp and pins her down on her back, facing her while sweaty from the struggle. Yoruichi's catlike grin doesn't disappear for a second.

Yoruichi: "Oh? You're trying to have your way with me right here, right now? I don't mind, but-"

Ichigo: "SHUT IT, YOU PERVERTED CAT!"

Team RWBY's Dorm

While waiting for Yang to get back, Ruby's playing a game, Weiss is studying, and Blake is reading a book. Blake looks up from her book to ask her teammates something.

Blake: "Do you guys think she'll be back so-"

Ichigo: "SHUT IT, YOU PERVERTED CAT!" they hear from the other side of the wall.

They don't say a word to each other. Blake simply goes back to reading her book while Ruby and Weiss look at her.

Ruby: "Blake, I don't think he meant you..."

Weiss: "She's right. Maybe one of his friends is a cat too?"

...

...

...

Blake: "...I'm not a pervert!" she exclaims while burying her face deeper into her book, completely ignoring Ichigo telling 'her' to shut it.

Back in Ichigo's Dorm

Ichigo's POV

He can't believe his ears. Well, he can, but it's just that it's been so long since he's had to endure Yoruichi's brand of teasing. Yang's one thing, but Yoruichi... Actually, on second thought, they're extraordinarily similar in that regard.

Ichigo: "Look Yang. I'll introduce you to everyone, but first..."

He gets up off Yoruichi and helps her to her feet, receiving a dirty look from Yang.

Yoruichi: "Why thank you, Ichigo. I daresay, I was pleasantly surprised when you pushed me down like that. When did you become so bold?"

Ichigo (thoughts): 'The hell's wrong with her today!?' He thinks back to during his Bankai training, when she got in the hot spring with him. 'Never mind, this is just her being herself.'

Ichigo: "*sigh* Where do I begin?" He thinks for a moment. "To put it simply, everyone here is someone I've met through my travels across Remnant. I met most of them in Atlas, but Orihime in Vale and Rukia in Mistral. They're old friends of mine. Just friends." He looks to Yoruichi, who has an innocent expression.

Yang's face is unchanging as he's explaining, intently listening to his explanation of how he met everyone. Of course, he wants to keep a few secrets, like everyone being extremely strong, so he keeps the stuff about the Atlesian Military to himself. He clears up what Yoruichi said about them being engaged, saying that she just loves to mess with him. That's true at least. By the end, Yang's face softens.

Yang: "Phew... That's a relief. For a second there, I thought I didn't know you at all. I mean, one minute, you're a single guy and the next, you're surrounded by nearly three teams worth of girls? It just didn't make sense. But you say they're here now because they want to join Beacon and it took a while for them to find each other?"

Ichigo: "That's right. Not everyone knew each other, so it was hard to link up, so to speak. But they're here now and I think their little demonstration during the Breach should be enough for Ozpin, at least."

Yang: "True... Speaking of, Orihime?"

She turns around to address Orihime, who's been waiting patiently by the door.

Orihime: "Yes?"

Yang: "That thing you did. That shield thing. Was that your Semblance?"

Orihime: "My Semblance?" She looks past Yang at Ichigo, who nods his head, confirming it. "Yes, it is! My Semblance allows me to manipulate certain kinds of Dust and strengthen its defensive capabilities. The shield I make can be deployed within a certain radius outside my body. I can also increase the Dust's destructive power in a straight line, but my ability with that is pretty limited..."

Yang: "Really? Wow, that's a pretty versatile Semblance you've got there. Perfect for combat! As for your offensive power, I can help with that!" she says with a smile on her face.

She gets a notification on her scroll.

Yang: "Sorry, I've gotta go. Ruby's wanting to get some training done before dinner. It was nice meeting you girls."

Ichigo (thoughts): 'Oh thank Super Kami Draco she's leaving...'

Yang walks out the door, leaving the group alone again. Ichigo's happy that she's gone because he hopes she tells the others everything he told her. He hadn't thought of it earlier, but if one of the others corrects a minor mistake in the story he's told, then he can fix it so Ozpin doesn't call him out on it.

Yoruichi: "So... She seemed nice."

Ichigo: "Huh? Oh, I guess she is. She's a pretty aggressive girl, but she's usually nice about it."

Yoruichi: "I see..." she says with a smirk.

Ichigo: "You see what?" he says annoyed.

Yoruichi: "Oh nothing, nothing. So what do we do now?"

Ichigo: "Now? I want to sleep, but it's kind of late in the day for that. I'll just have to power through. Actually, I did have a couple questions. Tier?"

The blonde Arrancar sits up from her position and looks at him.

Tier: "Yes, Ichigo? What can I help you with?" she asks calmly.

Ichigo: "It's about all five of you Arrancar, actually. Hollows always have a Hollow hole and Arrancar usually have them somewhere on your body. Grimmjow has his on his stomach, Nnoitra's replaced one of his eyes, and Ulquiorra had his on his neck. I was wondering the same thing with yours since I don't see them."

Tier: "A sensible question. You see, Sui-Feng actually suggested that we hide ours using our Spirit Energy to 'fill them in'. They're still actually there, but we have an illusion so as not to attract attention. See?"

She points to her lower abdomen. A small hole appears seemingly out of thin air and then disappears again.

Ichigo: "That's a pretty cool trick." He turns to Sui-Feng. "Good thinking. Thanks for the insight."

She just rolls her eyes at Ichigo.

Sui-Feng: "I didn't do it for you. I just figured it was the best way to keep our presence as inconspicuous as possible."

Ichigo: "Still, good job."

She ignores his praise, opting to not even look at him. However, unknown to both of them, Sui-Feng secretly appreciated it. It's not often she's complimented sincerely like that since her... abrasive personality puts her at odds with most people.

Ichigo: "Alright, second question. Why was it that I felt all of your spiritual pressures together when you first got here? It wasn't until after I found you that I was able to distinguish between all of you."

Nemu: "It was Master Mayuri and Kisuke Urahara's idea. They made us wear special bracelets that linked our spiritual energy together so we wouldn't get separated in the Dangai or when we came here." she answers.

Ichigo: "Makes sense. Third one is for Nel. How are you staying in that form? You barely had time to fight Nnoitra in that form before you reverted back to your childlike form. And now you've been in that form since you got here."

Nel: "It was Kisuke!" she says excitedly. "He gave me something and stopped my spiritual energy from leaking."

She's right. The crack in her mask from which her spiritual energy was escaping during her fight with Nnoitra seems filled in.

Yoruichi: "Kisuke took one of the vaccines he gave to Shinji and the others during their Hollowfication and modified it so that it fixed her issue. After all, the vaccine was based around controlling Hollow Reishi. All he had to do was make it specifically for a Hollow rather than a Soul Reaper."

Ichigo: "Well, I'm not gonna pretend to understand the science behind it, but that's good. People would get confused if a little kid was running around campus."

Nel: "Yup! Now I'm back to my old self!"

She jumps up excitedly, causing her breasts to jiggle and bounce almost unnaturally, catching Ichigo off-guard. Normally, he wouldn't be too conscious about this, but the combination of the sheer number of women currently in his room and Yoruichi's earlier teasing is having a... direct effect on him.

Nemu: "Ichigo, the area around your face seems to be heating up. Are you ill?"

Yoruichi: "Ichigo? Don't tell me you have a bo-"

Ichigo: "EVERYTHING'S FINE!" He takes a minute to calm down. "Why don't we go on a campus tour? That sound good? I think it sounds good."

He rushes over to the door, opening it with a pained smile. The Tres Bestias look at each other and then Tier, who nods in agreement.

(A/N Tres Bestias refers to Mila, Apacci, and Sung-Sun in case you didn't know)

Tier: "It would be inconvenient if we got lost. Who knows who we'd have to ask?"

Rukia: "I agree, but Ichigo..." she says with a scowl. "What are you hiding?" she accuses.

Hiding? He wasn't hiding anything except for his embarrassment. It's probably a good thing Yang wasn't here when that happened or else she AND Yoruichi would be busting his balls right now.

Later

Ichigo: "And this is Beacon Cliff, which overlooks the Emerald Forest. This is where they usually have Initiation and it's where Ozpin had me go through mine. I don't know what he's planning for yours."

They overlook the sea of emerald green trees below them, staring. Ichigo could sense some Auras approaching from the forest and when he looks at the area below, he sees Team JNPR coming up from their training. Deciding this is as good a time as any to introduce them to the others, he decides to wait for their arrival. Nora seems to be carrying Jaune over her shoulder, a sight that's, sad to say, not entirely uncommon.

Nora: "Oh hey guys! When did you get here!?" she asks in her very... Nora fashion.

Jaune: "Hey guys..."

He sounds exhausted as Nora turns around to let him see who's here.

Ichigo: "Hey. It's a good thing you're here. I wanted to introduce you to my friends. With any luck, they'll be joining classes fairly soon. It really depends on what Ozpin's cooking up."

Ren: "First yourself and now nearly three teams worth of people? How many people is Professor Ozpin letting in late this year?"

It didn't sound like Ren was criticizing the plan. Ren's not the type of person to be confrontational like that. Instead, it was more like genuine surprise, which isn't unexpected.

Pyrrha: "No matter the number, we're glad to have more classmates. We're Team JNPR."

Nora throws Jaune down on the ground and Ichigo helps him to his feet, Jaune swaying back and forth a bit as he tries to stand up straight.

Jaune: "I'm Jaune Arc, the leader of the team. Nice to meet you ladies." he tries to say all suave-like, but ends up sounding like a dork.

Pyrrha: "I'm Pyrrha Nikos, a pleasure."

Nora: "I'M NORA!"

Ren: "Lie Ren. Please, just call me Ren."

Ichigo: "Get that, everyone? Pyrrha and Ren already know Kukaku and Nemu here, but Jaune and Nora, meet them."

Kukaku: "How's it hangin' kids?"

She holds out her prosthetic arm and Jaune takes her hand to shake it. However, what Jaune didn't know is... Kukaku's arm comes right off her body with Jaune holding it in his hand. He's at a loss for words and turns to Pyrrha and Ren with the severed arm in hand, starting to freak out.

Jaune: "AAAAAAAHHH!" he screams like a girl and falls over.

Kukaku looks over him, leaning over.

Kukaku: "Re-lax, kid! You never seen a fake arm before?"

Jaune has troubles getting his wits about him, so Nemu picks him up and sets him down on the ground standing up. Without a word, Jaune hands Kukaku her arm back, which she reattaches.

Yang (from the training room): "Nice pun Super Kami Draco-sama!"

Pyrrha: "So Ichigo, who are the rest?"

Ichigo clears his throat and starts gesturing to each of the girls, starting with Orihime.

Ichigo: "Right. This is Orihime Inoue, Rukia Kuchiki, Sui-Feng, Yoruichi Shihōin, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Tier Harribel, Emilou Apacci, Frenceska Mila Rose, and Cyan Sung-Sun."

A Few Minutes Later

After the introductions, Team JNPR and Ichigo's group start walking back to the school proper, talking on the way.

Pyrrha: "I must ask you, Kukaku. What was that thing you used when you arrived? Was it an application of Lightning Dust that I don't know about?"
