Could be. Kenpachi said she's dead, but maybe there's a chance that only her "first Kenpachi" side died.

Ichigo isn't really the type to fight girls, but he didn't hesitate to attack Loly and Menoly to save Orihime, even though Ulquiorra blocked him before he could reach them. He knows the Sternritters are enemies, maybe that's all the reason he needs to fight them even though they're girls.
