A Lonely Life: Chapter One: The Disappearance
Ichigo Kurosaki's head shot up. Arrancar? In the park? Again? She didn't know who was there or if she could handle it, but she recognized two Reiatsu signatures from her previous battles. She knew she should wait for backup but, her heart told her to go check this out. She leapt up and, finding no time to get Konna slammed her substitute pass against her chest and, leapt out of her window, homework could wait.
She Shunpoed' to the park as quick as she could and stopped right in front of-just her luck-three Espada. She stood and faced the stoic Ulquiorra Cifer, the blood thirsty Grimmjow Jaggerjaques and the mad scientist Szayelaporro Granz. She stood the fear and confidence evident in her narrowed eyes.
Grimmjow didn't hesitate to attack her.
"This time Shinigami I'm going to kill you."
He leapt forward and she instantly brought up the defensive, swiftly moving up her blade to block the slash aimed at her shoulder. Then she jumped back slowly and waited for him to come at her, the disappeared through Shunpo and appeared behind him, slashing at his back. The slash barely got through his Hierro but, still managed to draw blood. This time he was bringing up his own defense as, she slashed for his chest and, then for his left arm.
'Shit she's been practicing since last time, she's keeping up with me better and she is still unharmed.'
While he was in thought she slashed again aiming to slice his head off when, suddenly there was a needle in her arm, injecting a clear fluid into her body. Szayelaporro grinned as the girl staggered backwards and leaned against her sword to stay standing.
"W...What did you do to m...me?"
She started backing away from them and felt her energy going down.
Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki arrived just in time to see Ichigo drop to the floor.
"Ichigo!"
Rukia screamed and ran forward. Just to be sliced in the back by Szayelaporro, Rukia cried out and collapsed to the floor.
Renji drew his sword and stepped towards Szayelaporro blade shaking slightly.
'Get a hold of yourself Renji it's just an Arrancar."
'Ichigo is on the floor Zambimaru, and we all know she's stronger than me.'
'Yeah but this guy is weaker than the guy Ichigo took out.'
Renji nodded at Zambimaru's statement, this guy was weaker, he could take him. Renji stood in a fighting stance only to be impaled through the stomach by Ulquiorra's sword.
"Szayelaporro, Grimmjow, our mission is for the girl, not the trash."
Ulquiorra stated in a stoic voice.
"I'm...not...trash."
Renji said between coughing up blood. Ulquiorra attacked Renji again hitting him across the head with enough force to send Renji into a daze. Renji toppled over, and Ulquiorra leaned over him, peering down.
"Stay there if you value your life, trash."
With that statement Ulquiorra opened a Garganta and stepped through, followed by the injured Grimmjow,and finally, Szayelaporro after slinging Ichigo over his shoulder.
Renji tried to follow but the Garganta closed up and he eventually found his eyes closing, he had failed Ichigo and Rukia...
