13 - Flower and Hollow
While clearing up the mess at the school, Orihime spots a giant Hollow, lurking on top of the gymnasium. She's smart enough to know that the others won't be able to see it, and that she really needs to get them away from it - but it's aware that she's seen it, and it's not about to leave any witnesses to its presence. When it attacks, Chizuru is injured - and the injury gives the Hollow control of Chizuru's body, and another way to attack Orihime. Chizuru's not the only one of her classmates that's infected, either - but Orihime has powers of her own that are about to manifest themselves for the first time. Ichigo, meanwhile, is still busy dealing with the Hollow horde unleashed by Ishida...
14 - Back to Back, A Fight to the Death!
Ishida's plan to prove himself has gone a bit awry - the sheer number of Hollows that have appeared in the town is far beyond what he expected, and beyond his own ability to contain. If the fight is to be won, Ishida and the others are going to have to work together - but his past history with the Soul Reapers means co-operation isn't high up his list of things to do. The appearance of a Hollow more massive than anything they've seen before, though, may just persuade him otherwise...
15 - Kon's Great Plan
Kon's getting depressed at the lack of respect he's been getting - between Ichigo using him as a convenient stand-in and his sisters treating him as nothing more as a stuffed toy (fair enough, you might think, but he draws the line at being put in a dress). He's feeling the need to be respected, appreciated - even loved. And he has a plan to make it happen, with Orihime as the person whose appreciation he's most after. Shame the plan works a while lot better in his head than it does in real life. Meanwhile, Rukia's been thinking through the implications of the way that Ichigo dealt with the Menos so easily and she's decided that his success is likely to spell trouble for her...
16 - Encounter: Renji Abarai!
As she expected, Ichigo's actions are coming back to haunt Rukia, beginning with the appearance of two more Soul Reapers, sent to see what she's been up to. She's accused of spending too long in the human world, and one of her pursuers, Renji Abarai, is keen to deal with her sooner rather than later. But dealing with her would also involve dealing with Ichigo, and Rukia's not about to allow him to be put at risk. It's hard to keep him safe when he won't keep his distance, though - and once Ichigo learns what's going on, he's quick to go to Rukia's rescue...
