To Undo it All

Chapter 7: The Espada

"Y-yes. I asked Isane-chan to meet us at the 1st Division, so we need not wait for her." She explained as she stood. I followed her example and we left her home promptly. The sun was still rising, so it was technically early, but in the Gotei 13, there was always someone out and about. Luckily, it offered Unohana and I a wonderful view as we walked to meet up with Yamamoto. Speaking of which.

"Hey, you don't mind waking up a little earlier than you're currently used to on a regular basis, right?" I asked.

"What for?"

"If we knew there was something big coming up, my friends and I would wake up to watch the sunrise. It's the best in all the worlds, and I was hoping to make a habit of watching it every morning."

"I wouldn't mind at all, so long as I can bring others to enjoy it with us."

"Go ahead!" I encouraged. "The more, the merrier." A familiar presence landed on my shoulders, hands rested atop my head, and my neck was flanked by soft thighs.

"That include me?" Yoruichi asked.

"Of course it does, but you aren't exactly a morning person."

"Well, I can be if I have the right incentive~." My face immediately grew warm, but I persevered.

"Sure, I can bring you some milk."

"I'll only have it if it's yours~." Goddamn it. I just can't keep up with the teasing. Yoruichi's laughter filled my ears. "Oh, you cannot believe how happy it makes me that you still become a strawberry from a little teasing!"

"Shut up..." I pouted, my arms crossed over my chest. The werecat took the opportunity to rest her feet in the bend of my elbows.

"How is it that you've apparently had one hell of a first time, but you still turn cherry when I use a little wordplay?" The goddess of flash asked, genuine curiosity dusting her tone.

"Oh?" Before I could answer, Unohana spoke up. Oh no. "Ichigo merely informed me that he is no longer a virgin. Has he told you more?" Yoruichi guffawed, and I desperately wanted to shove my head into a wall.

"No longer a virgin? Berry-kun here slipped out that his first trip to pound town was a threesome!"

"My, my, how adventurous!"

'Ya know, this is the perf'ct time to let 'em know who it was with.'

'Shut the fuck up.'

"Right? But sadly, my dearest student doesn't want to let me in on who it was with!" The purple haired beauty leaned down as close as she could to my left ear as she cradled my face. "Don't worry, though, I'm more than happy to let you in whenever you want~." I wasn't sure if it was possible for steam to rush out of my ears, but I was about to find out. Shiro was cackling somewhere in my head.

"M-m-moving on!" She was so close I felt Yoruichi's lips curl into a smirk. "Yoruichi! Since you're already with us, interested in joining Unohana and I for a raid in Hueco Mundo?"

"Sounds fun!" I inwardly sighed in relief that the mocha-skinned goddess permitted the change in topic. "What will we be doing?"

"Aizen had an army of arrancar in his base in Hueco Mundo. We're gonna recruit those we can, and take out everyone else."

"Will we be recruiting anyone I'd like?" The only two arrancars that Shiro referred to by name popped in my head.

"Absolutely."

"Oh, now I'm excited! Are we on our way now?"

"Not quite." Unohana picked up. "We're informing Yamamoto-soutaicho where we are going and what we are doing before actually traveling to Hueco Mundo."
