Ichigo Smirked back at the guy. Sure, why not train with ichigo? He was one of the most popular shinigami to date but really now? That was just going to put a hole in his evening. But suppose it couldn't be helped. Ichigo looked towards the guy and sighed again to add to his collection of sighs.

Alright then kid...

But then suddenly Ichigo realised the kid had taken to talking to himself. Was he dumb? or did he have something underneath the surface? Knowing the world and its people today ichigo didn't want to take any bad chances with this boy. So before he even did anything more than agree, he asked another question.

Kid, what are you exactly? most normal people don't talk to themselves...

But he quickly took a fighting stance. Dammmit, this kid wanted a fight this badly? CMon at least give Ichigo time to get ready. but as the orange haired legtend went to draw a balde and entire shinigami form, something shot into the ground before them. A little bundle of joy screaming utter nonsense that ichigo actually understood. She asked questions, she wouldn't stop! It was Nanao of course, ichigo's little one.

Wh..what? We never went to a shop today... in fact... did you maybe dream that nanao?

"What are you talking about?! I'm a Vizard, just like you!"

Jon's eyes had begun shift to a more red tint, almost brown, because of the green of Jon's natural eyes mixed in it. Jon's demon form was excited to fight someone as powerful as Ichigo and Jon was starting to shift, even without blood being spilt onto his seal. Jon still had no idea what was going on. Then again, to any passerby, or to Ichigo, it would just look like his Hollow was beginning to rage out of control...

The Voice of Jon's Demon spoke to him, "The power....that this shinigami exudes...it's exciting...."

"I don't need you!" Jon exclaimed unintentionally, "Dammit! Stop trying to take me over! I want to fight him on my terms!"

Little did Jon know he was talking to a Demon, and they're so hard to reason with....

Jon's Demon spoke to him again, "Very well...but remember, Jon....I'm waiting...."

Jon's appearance didn't change any more other than his eyes, but still, even to someone who had never met a Vizard before, something was amiss...

Nevah went to a shop?

Nanao undid her small arms from around Ichigo's leg. She stood thinking for a moment as her head turned to look at the stranger her adopted father had been talking to. She scratched her head with her right hand as she chewed the thumb nail of her left hand. After a moment the memory of the shop and the scary gold fish, swarming to eat her, passed. She now looked more closely at the stranger.

Who is dat papa?

Nanao did not often call Ichigo papa or father. It was something she was still getting use to. Normally she called him Ichy toes, as G was a letter she was having a bit of a time prononcing. She looked at the stranger for a moment longer. She was growing in her power daily, but sencing even obvious reitsu was still something she was failing to master. All in time though.

It a new twainin dolly! So lifey like!

Nanao bounces happily on the heels of her feet as she hugged Ichigo's leg one more time. She then began to strech her legs and arms for a moment before standing back up. She pulled on a brown leather string on the front of her robes as she unsheathed a sword from the brown sheath on her back. The sheath fell to the ground softly as Nanao stood in a very Ichigo stance. The leather bound hilt of her practice blade rested in her small hand as she slung the blade clumsily in front of her. She held it with both hands, the wooden blade pointed to the stranger. It was bladed with a dull light weight metal so it would not splinter, and was very light weight for the small Kurosaki.

Hewe I come!

Nanao tilted the blade to strike from the left side as she used her reitsu to push herself off the ground. She was slow, but still moving faster then a normal human would. She swung the blade as she neared the ''doll''. Hit, Miss or Block she would instandly start to turn her body as she neared a tree behind the ''doll''. She would then bounce off of it with her reitsu just as she had the ground before. This time she angled slightly to the right as she swung her blade again. Hit Miss or Block she would again turn herself to be able to push off a tree that was slightly to the right with her reitsu, again aiming to swing the blade.

This was Nanao's pinball attack, and was her pride and joy. A fighting style she had come up with all on her own. As she bounced from tree to tree she kept up the momentum with less and less help from her reitsu to launch her. She kept getting faster and faster as she bounces from tree to tree. Nanao had no idea she was performing any kind of physics or science with her favorite attack, just that it worked for her, and she would make her papa proud.

Ichigo listened to the guy will all ears. He was a vizard too? Cool I suppose. Thats all he could be bothered to think at this point as he really didn't care about what he was as long as it wasn't anything as an enemy to Soul Society. This simply meant Ichigo could hold back and not have to wipe the kids face with the floor. Ichigo paid a lot of attention suddenly too as those eyes changed color. Sure Vizards did that but his eyes weren't normal. Ichigos went black and yellow rather than some weird brown.

Hmm...

This made Ichigo think. Had he ever seen a vizard with different eye color than normal? Maybe he was just over thinking this concept. One thing did peak his interest and that was how the boy was suddenly arguing with himself. It made Ichigo want to laugh because it made him look rather stupid. However he didn't because he knew exactly how it felt being possessed at times. That was when Nanao started to say some peculiar things. However something he hadn't actually realised was that his little girl was clinging to his leg now. She let go softly and started to stand in a rather confused pose that just made her look adorable. What she said afterwards was even more gorgeous. She called him papa. That made Ichigo smile but part of him was a little embarrassed at this. He had a little girl but he was still a single father. He adopted her. He would have though about this for a bit longer if she hadn't suddenly decided to attack the kid.

Nanao!

Ichigo yelled a bit, trying to get her to not cut the guy in two thanks to her childish behaviour. However when she went to strike him, she bounced around the trees like some freaky pinball that attacked every time she bounced. This was just weird but Ichigo had an idea he had seen this done before. Could Ichigo himself perform this feat? Who knows unless he tried but now wasn't the time for him to be bothered. Ichigo shoved his hands back into his pockets and merely watched the girl have her fun. If that boy were to attempt to hurt her in any way, Ichigo would step in with the power of a respectable father.

Jon watched the young Shinigami as his own eyes when a full-fledged red, ignoring her 'training dummy' comment.

As she drew her training blade, Jon went on a very simple defense, putting his sword down to block each strike as it was to hit. Her technique was a simple one, but Jon realized that the attack had potential if she were to use it when she gained more power.

Jon flash-stepped behind Ichigo, not wanting to hurt the little one, as that was against his morals.

"So, you have a kid, eh, Kurosaki?" Jon asked, curious about the little shinigami.

Jon went to open his mouth to speak, but his demon's voice emerged instead of his own.

"A harmless little whelp....nothing compared to you...Kurosaki Ichigo...."

Jon covered his mouth quickly, knowing that it was not his voice that spoke.

"My apologies ,Ichigo, My Hollow appears to be acting up...," Jon said.

"I'll try to keep it under control....,"he said with a growl.

Jon decided that if the kid were to attack him again, he would politely explain that he wanted to fight Ichigo and would be happy to train with her afterward.

Hmph. If the dolly wanted to fight her papa that was fine. She pouted as she stormed off to sit and watch from atop a nearby rock. She turned from whatever action would happen and just watced a fish swim in the little stream. This was a nice fish, not like the evil gold fish swarm that wanted to eat her.

She hummed to herself and skippin a pebble across the little stream and then watched a deer scratch its butt on a nearby tree. She giggled at it before looking back to the fishy. Such a nice fish it was not trying to eat her or nothing. Yep let that weirdo dolly fight papa. She would just have to help him mop it up when it was all done. Maybe it would make nice flowers in the spring though if they left the mess there.

Ichigo smirked at the kid. He seemed to be capable on his own to defend against nanao with ease. This made sense seeing as nanao barely knew how to fight on her own without Ichigo's help. In all seriousness he would rather it if Nanao didn't fight at all but she seemed to insist she did it to make her father proud. It surely made him grin when she tried her best though. However now was the time for Ichigo to interfere. Nanao had wandered off herself and appeared a little disappointed in this little feud they were having. Ichigo removed his hands from his pockets and lifted his right hand, imitating the 'come get some' hand gesture by bending his fingers back and forth.

Well lets get this over with. I need to take her to bed soon...

With that said, Ichigo suddenly fell down to the floor. His body hit the dirt softly though as the proper version of Ichigo stood firmly in its place. This Ichiog looked different though as he left his Gigai. He looked more serious and in Shinigami garbs ready for a fight. His gigantic sword was slung over his shoulder in a normal fashion without hurting himself at all. he looked at the guy without blinking for a few seconds whilst he listened to the guy talk. His demon side was trying to kick in? Regardless of if it did or not, He would show them just what they were fighting against. Even in Shikai state like he is now, he is capable of so much. Ichigo turned to nanao and quickly spoke:

Nanao, can you drag my Gigai over to where your sitting? Try not to drop it in a lake though...

Ichigo smirked, then his attention took to his opponent. Ichigo lifted his gigantic sword, newly fashions from the Winter war as a larger sword than before, almost double the size. He slammed Zangetsu into the earth, lifting parts of the dirt where it struck showing this thing was a heavy piece of work. All the while his eyes did not lock off his target as a sign of respect and concentration. He then spoke again.

ready...?
