The next hour and a half were full of Renji freaking out by the fact that they urrently had no way hone and Uryu trying to calm him down. Ichigo for the most part was calm and was very excited to see his friends from Fairytail again. The portal somehow gave him back all his memories and it was like he was there yesterday. "Would you just calm down already! Wineing about it won't solve anything!" Rukia yelled. She was annoyed at this point seeing that the current situtation was getting out of hand. She was doing her best to be calm in light of what just happened, but the same fear that many members of the now trapped "Rescue" team had were getting to her as well. Though she was doing quite well containing it to just be inside her head. "Yeah thanks 'cause you have a plan right? How are you gonna get us back? Your just as confused as I am." Renji countered. In response, Ichigo just gave him a glare clearly Renji was getting on everyones nerves now.
"I am with Captain Kuchki on this you are a lieutenant of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads start acting like it!" Hitsugya snapped. He already had to deal with Rangiku at the momment who was currently wineing as well except about her hair being covered in dust he didn't need to deal with two people conplianing at the same time. If he let this continue he felt like his head would explode. This in turn caused Renji to stop for a moment and look over. It was almost like the thought never went across his head and he imediatley regained his composure. "And that goes for you to Rangiku!" She on her part did get up off the ground where she was wineing at but she didn't look to happy to be scolded like that. To her he just didn't understand and she kept complaining in her head about the whole situation.
"Kenny turn right, he's on your right!" Yachiru said. at this kempachi turned right to find the rest of the group. He had been wandering around the area for the past fifteen minutes looking for Ichigo. Though he seemed to forget again at just how bad Yachiru was at giving directions. "Captain where have you been? I was looking for you for the past five minutes." Ikkaku said. in response Kempachi just grunted and looked at Yachiru which in turn caused a realization for Ikkaku at why Kempachi couldn't find them. Granted this was a new area but still.....
She still was a terrible navigatior.
Two days later
Train to Magnolia
Early Afternoon
The train ride was full of introductions includeing some brawls between Kempachi and a couple members of Fairy Tail but all in all the ride was peaceful for Ichigo. Wendy was currently a sleep on him currently as he looked out the window. Nothing seemed diffrent and yet everything had changed. Many familliar faces lile Jet and Troy had new apearences and yet some looked the same. Everything from the last few weeks just spun around in his head and he just needed a minute to process everything. Luckely Natsu was motion sick at the moment which did give him some time. Erza and Mira currently sat in a diffrent car. They also were thinking on how to go about this with the new and old acuaintences. But more importantly The person BOTH of them fell for was back. The day he left when Aizen apeared flooded back to them. It was almost like a bad dream that just reawoke even after years of being gone. Mira felt all sorts of emotions that she could tell ment she wanted him back. Though she worried that it would be akward if she did. Especially right after he got back. He seemed much older now and his appearance was so diffrent. even his zanpakto was diffrent than before. A lot mist have happened. "Erza.... We need to talk.... don't we?" Mira finally said effectively bringing Erza out of her thoughts. Her thoghts mirrored Mira's. He seemed stronger, older, and diffrent. That is not even counting the stress that was on his face when he got on the train. "Something happened while he was back on his world. I don't know how I know but I can tell that he has gone through a great ordeal in order to be that stressed about something. I just wonder what it was and if things will go back to the way they were when he was around." Erza replied. Mira nodded, they had come to the same conclution about him. He changed dramaticlly at some point. His demeaner was diffrent. Plus, he may have been happy to see everyone in Fairy Tail, but he was thinking about something or someone else at the same time. "When shluld we...." Mira started "Lets give him a few days to get back to the rythem of being here before we ask." Erza stated. Mira nodded, she full well understood that was the most likely course of action for this, and yet there was a fear still inside her. 'What happened to Ichigo while he was gone? What gave him such a tramatic experience that he has trouble looking at Fairy Tail?'
Ichigo looked away from the window. He knew what he had to do once he got off the train. There would be a lot of explinations in order. Though he still couldn't stop thinking about that battle with Ywatch. 'Did we really beat him that last time? Or has his power reached out here as well?' He thought. If that os the case then he would have to fight him again. But this time it will be without the help of Aizen. That thought scared him. What scared him even more was the fear of one of his friends from Fairy Tail getting hurt or even...
He tried to brush it off but he couldn't
....die.
