Bleach Fan Fiction ~ The Glass Portal To Another World

Shattered Segment 1: Missing

"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted as her unconscious body floated into a dark, swirling hole. It was too late. She had disappeared. "Shit!" he exclaimed slicing up the monsters, called Hollows, that were preventing him from coming near to Rukia. "There's too many of them! Where are they all coming from?!"

Ichigo, Rukia, Uryuu, Inoue, and Chad were fighting Hollows that appeared in the middle of an elementary school's soccer field when a hand reached out of a strange portal and paralyzed Rukia. Then it took her away without even touching the others.

"Is everyone all right?" Ichigo turned around and asked when all of the Hollows in that area were executed.

Chad and Uryuu nodded while Chad's arm was returning to its normal form and Uryuu deactivated his Quincy bow. Inoue was kneeling down, cradling the injured Tsubaki in her hand.

"Ah, not again," Ichigo complained, bending down to examine Tsubaki. "Come on, Tsubaki, you can do better than that."

"Kurosaki-kun…" Inoue started. "I'm… sorry that I'm so weak." She didn't even look at Ichigo in her shame but instead, stared down at the ground.

Ichigo paused for a while. He frowned and then gently hit her head. "Shut up, you're not weak," he scolded. "Don't think about that. Right now, we have to focus on finding out where Rukia is."

He stood back up and stared at where Rukia disappeared into, which had turned back into the normal scenery he always saw when he played soccer as a kid.

"Aw, Ichigo, don't cry," Kon teased, climbing onto Ichigo's shoulder.

Ichigo glanced at Kon, took a minute to understand the situation, and then threw the stuffed animal onto the ground. "Shut up, I'm not going to cry!" Ichigo exclaimed, molding Kon into a pancake shape with his foot.

"Look, Urahara-san is coming," Uryuu commented and pointed to the other side of the soccer field. "I think he detected the disturbance and the thing that took Rukia away. Maybe he can tell us something."

They ran to Kisuke, who is Urahara, and Ichigo desperately asked, "Where's Rukia?" and shook him.

Kisuke held up and hand to stop Ichigo and smiled. "That… I don't know," he replied. His expression turned to serious. "But I detected a disturbance in the balance of the Earth, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo."

"What?!" Uryuu exclaimed. "All three at the same time?"

"Earth, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo can be considered the same thing, as in Soul Society is the heaven or upper part and Hueco Mundo is the hell or lower part for Earth," Kisuke explained. "But there is another place like Earth with an upper part and a lower part to it. I'm not sure yet, but that place is becoming merged with our world. And that might be the reason why Rukia was taken away so easily and we can sense her presence. I'll have to look more into this later."

"Later?" Ichigo asked. "Why not now? What if Rukia is being tortured over there? Or maybe… she can possibly be already dead… We need to find her quickly."

Chad grunted in agreement.

Kisuke sighed and looked at Inoue and Uryuu, who nodded at him.

"Okay then," Kisuke gave in. "I'll postpone my current project and look into this. I'll treat it as an emergency. Well…" He spread out his fan and smiled. "Good luck, everyone." He turned around and walked back to his shop, waving.
