Ichigo Kurosaki: "My Fullbring...it's gone. I wanted to regain my power... But I couldn't figure out a way to do that on my own. I just had to tolerate my condition...Powerless...for seventeen months. I thought I had finally found a way...I thought I could finally protect everyone, with my own hands. But now...it's all gone.

As he sinks into his inner world.

Is that it? Am I finished? Completely useless?"

All of a sudden, a teenage female voice speaks.

"Aw, don't be so sad."

Ichigo: "Hm!?"

He looks up & sees a 17 year old girl(a Kagome Higurashi look-alike with the same voice). She is a rather attractive young woman, with a curvaceous figure and well-toned thighs. She has pale skin, long wavy blue hair with a noticeably purple outline & big bluish-purple eyes. She is wearing a blue & white school uniform(imagine Kagome's but the green color is replaced with blue & the red ribbon is purple).

He was surprised by this mysterious girl who appeared out of nowhere in his inner world. He breaks the chains & stands up.

Ichigo: "Who are you?"

?: "You don't remember me? I'm hurt."

Ichigo: "I've never met you before."

?: "Yes, we have."

Ichigo: "When & where?"

?: "When you first met Rukia Kuchiki in your home & all the way to the point when she went back to the Soul Society to be executed. When you went to the Soul Society to save Rukia. When you fought Sosuke Aizen in Karakura Town. Was that good enough?"

This shocked him to extremely high levels.

Ichigo: "How...Who the hell are you?! Tell me!"

?: "Ask me nicely."

Ichigo: "Fine...Please tell me your name."

?: "Thank you. My name is Uko Ygoh(pronounced You-koh Yeh-goh), it's nice to see you again, Ichigo Kurosaki!"

Ichigo: "Uko Ygoh...wait...why does that sound familiar?"

Uko Ygoh: "That's right, you're getting warm."

Ichigo: "Uko Ygoh..."

Uko Ygoh: "It's on the tip of your tongue..."

Ichigo: "Uko Ygoh...(gasp)Hogyoku!?"

Uko Ygoh/Hogyoku: "Yes!"
