Ikkaku not knowing how Rina is going to take it thinks about what to say and exactly how to say it and then says. "Well of course I didn't meet Ichigo until after he made his arrival in the soul society. At that time he was our enemy though who had only come because the person who made Ichigo a soul reaper originally was arrested and given a death sentence. Ichigo knowing that the person in the situation had given him the powers in order for him to protect his family couldn't bear the thought of letting the person die, in which case he and his friends Uryu, Chad, and Orihime came to the soul society through the gate, Urahara's gate, Urahara being a criminal on the run himself who was banished from the soul society long ago. But yeah after they got there Ichigo first had to find a way to get into the seireitei. First he tried beating the gate keeper and getting through the gate that way but one of the captain's fought him back and the gate came back down with Ichigo and his friends still outside. So they had to find another way, in which they decided to use the pretty extreme method of shooting themselves through the barrier to get into the seireitei, which was successful but separated Ichigo from most of his friends, only one falling with him into the location where I was at with Yumichika. Then I fought Ichigo, in what was one of the best fights I ever had. But Ichigo won, and after I told him where the one he was there to rescue was being held and also after confirming that he was the stongest of his group warning him that my captain would be looking for him, Ichigo went on his way. The next person fought I believe was Renji, the 6th squad's lieutenant. And after a long hard battle, Ichigo defeated Renji as well and things were revealed between the two of them during the battle that resulted in them becoming allies in the end. Then Ichigo fought my captain next, to which Ichigo came out the winner again, and gave a battle that my captain says was very exciting and makes him look forward to his and Ichigo's next fight together. After a little later that Ichigo had a head on fight with Captain Kuchiki, in which Ichigo yet again won and as a result saved the one he was there to rescue from death. While all that was going on though, a scandle involving some of our own was going on to which sense they were enemies we thought it was one of Ichigo's friends or Ichigo himself were the the culprits, an accuzation we found out to be wrong, and that it was really 3 of our captains, one of who faked his own death in order to throw us all off while he and his accomplices betrayed us and killed all the central 46 members. Ichigo ended up being the one to reveal all that to us, just by doing his rescue mission, sense that it was those three captains who were also behind trying to kill the one Ichigo came to rescue. And due to that, in the end, we were all able to survive. All that assistance Ichigo gave in order to reveal the true culprits, even though he just did it to rescue his friend from death, but which saved us all in the end, is what led us to see Ichigo as a trustworthy ally and appoint him as one of us."
