Getting to business!

"We're back!" Mashiro shouted as she and Hatchi came in with groceries. "... what's that about?" she asked, pointing casually at the fight between Hiyori and Ichigo.

"Oh, Ichigo got sick of this dang thing, and I'm not far behind!" Rukia replied, still running on the contraption.

"...huh, surprised it took that long," Hatchi remarked as Hiyori ended up throwing the thing Ichigo had been running on at him, and Shinji was trying to explain the purpose of it, and that until Ichigo could run for three days straight, teaching him to Hollowfy and remain in control wasn't a good idea.

"So was Love," Rojuro smirked, waving the money he had won, Love grumbling. Mashiro giggled at him.

"...okay, fine," Shinji suddenly said after a bit more arguing with Ichigo. "...you have grown absurdly strong in a short amount of time, even gaining Bankai in a matter of days, when it was supposed to take a decade..."

"...um, Shinji, you sure this is a good idea?" Hiyori asked, looking a bit nervous as she stepped away from Ichigo and Shinji, the former approaching Ichigo, and extending a hand towards his face.

"...not really," Shinji admitted. "But given Ichigo's track record, I'm willing to take the gamble. We will just get right down to it and teach him how to Hollowfy. Get ready everyone."

"Get ready? What are you talking about?" Ichigo questioned.

"Simple. To Hollowfy, you need to enter your Inner World and subdue your Inner Hollow. Surprisingly straightforward," Shinji noted. "But while that's happening, well... Your outer self rampages in Hollow mode, so we have to keep you contained until you succeed. I hope you don't regret this."

He then did something, and Ichigo collapsed, before a door opened up in the floor of the warehouse, Kensei picking up Ichigo and carrying him down. Everyone else following, including Rukia, who got off the training contraption. She didn't care if she got yelled at, she was going to watch this.

They emerged into an underground training field that looked exactly like Urahara's, even having a sky painted on the ceiling. "...Urahara hook you guys up with this place?" Rukia inquired.

"Yes, he did," Shinji replied as they set Ichigo down, and Hatchi started using Kido to put up some barriers.
