The Shinigami had caught wind of everyone that was complaining about the weather. Ichigo usually kept his own complaining to himself considering that this place was bordering an ocean, and he was terrified of the place. He refused to step foot onto the boardwalk unless it was something that was needed or if he was hungry and needed food. There was no other reason for him to be there, and he sure as hell hoped that he would never get thrown into the ocean again. Ichigo had been through every season for five years since he had been alive. Being a cougar meant that he was almost fit perfectly in most environments. But, Ichigo himself preferred to be in colder and slightly wetter climates rather than that of a hot climate. This was because of the simple fact that the cougar wore black armor on his body and had a couple of black markings to go along with it as well. This meant that the black material and black metal were quick to absorb any of the heat that did transfer to his body, which in turn increased his own body temperature. He constantly had to make sure that his body wasn't going to overheat all of the time, and had to make sure to find a pool of water that he can use in order to cool off. It wasn't an easy task, and he couldn't wait till they got a little bit of snow and wouldn't have to worry about such small things. Ichigo didn't mind the rain all that much that was going along the territory, he also wasn't against getting dirty too. The Shinigami was only slightly worried about the fact that the ocean levels raised slightly because of the sudden downpour that they were getting. Ichigo didn't have to worry about any place that he had been flooded by the increased water as he didn't even have a place of his own yet.

All the belonging's he had were the ones that he was wearing and the memories that he carried with him all of the time. Anyway, the jaguar sized animal had seen plenty of different species across his travels here and there. He saw a huge diversity when it came to the clans, and when it came to being a loner he didn't see all that many different creatures. Unless evil spirits counted, which they didn't as he had seen those types, time and time again. The Shinigami had only ever seen one Shiba Inu his entire life, and it had been his one friend that had the body itself. Inu. The other had different bodies over the course of the years, but the male at least had a Shiba Inu body at some point. At least he was fairly certain that was a body that his friend had. Considering his memories, there was a fair chance that Ichigo had no idea what he was talking about thanks to his older age compared to those that lived around him. His friend had been attempting to steal food from the clan, and his clanmates had gotten violent. Being the leader of the clan, Ichigo had told the other that if he had wanted food he could have just asked and didn't punish him. The other didn't have a name, and so, Ichigo came up with the other's name and called him Inu. Ichigo also had no idea that this was someone that he had known in the past, but was just a different personality. The Shinigami still believed that Inu was alive, despite the other having been dead for a long time now. Ichigo had never been given the news of the other's death, and if there was a chance that his friend may be alive, there was just a small glimmer of hope that was there. Thanks to his large size, however, it was easier for Ichigo to end up sinking into the mud than he would like to admit. While there was no one around though, he could easily just use his teleportation to get him to the places that he needed to go to. Ichigo flicked one of his rounded ears as he heard voices off in the distance despite the rain that was happening.

The armored cougar was easy to hear and see common as he didn't blend in all that well. It was obvious that the male was avoiding getting too close to the water, and as he saw a familiar color and body structure in the distance, Ichigo's heart seemed to jump into his throat. It was also a relief to see those that he once knew still alive and kicking, and he believed Sushi to be one of his old friends. Until he got closer and heard the other's one voice, and realized it wasn't Inu. Ichigo tried his best to his hide his disappointment as he looked at the Shiba Inu. The other was looking for shelter and seem fairly nervous. The sword and the armor he wore probably wouldn't help the other's nerves, but Ichigo was used to that to some extent. The black tip of his tail flicked as his own paws were slightly covered in mud and his fur was drenched. At least any fur that wasn't covered with the armor that he had. The canine's name was certainly interesting to Ichigo. Sushi. Ichigo knew what that was thanks to his heritage and other people speaking about it. He wasn't the type to judge names as his own name could mean strawberry in some kind of context. The Shinigami didn't bother to sit himself down as he didn't want to get all that muddy. His bi-colored eyes would look at the canine for a couple of seconds before he began to speak, a tired grin spread across his facial features. "Yo. You're definitely welcome to stay as long as you want. I'm Kurosaki Ichigo." The swordsman introduced himself. In the back of his mind, the wildcat wondered if the other could speak Japanese, as there was another in Sunhaven that could and went by the name Toshinori. He hadn't seen the lion anywhere though, and couldn't say if he was still around either. "Where are you from?" Ichigo questioned calmly, not in an interrogation type of manner, but simply because he was curious. He was bad a holding small talk though.
