AN: This is an experimental fic I came up with. This is a complete AU with some crossover elements but it's not a true crossover. This fic may or may not be continued it depends completely on you guys and girls. I WILL end up butchering some words here.
Rukia and the hollow.
"Rukia Kuchiki, you stand here before the captain's of the 13 court guard squads accused of treason. How do you plead?" Bellowed the old head captain.
Rukia with a determined stare met the head captain's intimidating gaze "I plead, not guilty" Rukia said resolutely.
The captain's all looked at Rukia with varied degrees of shock, given the nature of the charges against her and how serious they were it would have been better to claim that she was guilty and then plead some kind of insanity. But no, Rukia in the face of the most powerful people in the entire Soul Society pleaded innocence, but why? Why would she say she was innocent? It's because Rukia truly believes that she had done no wrong.
"Explain yourself Kuchiki!" Head captain Yamamoto bellowed.
"Let me ask you somthing?" Rukia requested. The head captain raised an eyebrow but nodded, he wanted to hear Rukia's excuse. "Is there such a thing as a bad or even evil soul reaper's?" Rukia asked confusing the captain's.
Captain Retsu Unohana stepped forward "I beg your pardon Kuchiki-san but what relevance does your question have in this matter?".
"If bad soul reapers didn't exist then we would have no need for squad two or the underground prison's correct?" Rukia asked confidently angering the squad two captain Soi-Fon who did not like Rukia's question.
Head Captain Yamamoto having enough of Rukia's questions raised his spiritual pressure pinning Rukia to the ground, "Enough of this foolishness Kuchiki..." Yamamoto was cut off By a short laugh from Rukia.
"With all due respect head captain I am no fool, I know exactly what I am saying. So tell me captain's if there are such things as a bad soul reaper then please explain to me why there can't be such a thing as a good hollow?" Rukia questioned stunning the captain's into silence so she continued her explanation "Former captain's Aizen, Ichimaru and Tosen were all great captain's who turned traitor, so please explain to me why the opposite is not possible? Why can't such a hollow exist? Rukia concluded, satisfied with her little speech.
The old head captain sighed in frustration, he hated to admit it but the young reaper had a valid point but the law was the law and the law was absolute, "Be that as it may young Kuchiki you bought a hollow into the sacred walls of the Seretei, this action alone is an act of treason so with a heavy heart I hear by sentence you to execution via the Sogyoku".
To her credit Rukia met the head captain's stare with her own, she knew that she couldn't have kept the secret forever but she did hope that maybe, just maybe she could have changed the soul society's almost racist views on hollows. With a sigh Rukia put out her arms and within a fraction of a second reatsu sealing cuffs were snapped around her wrists courtesy of squad two captain Soi-Fon "Scum like you Kuchiki make me sick so believe me when I say this Kuchiki, we will find that pet of yours and send it straight to hell" Soi-Fon sneered at the tiny reaper.
Rukia's eyes widened she didn't think of that, the hollow was still in the Seritei, hidden yes but still here within the walls, maybe he could use a garganta and escape, will he do it? No probably not he would never abandon her, that was his grestest quality and right now his greatest weekness, Ruka put on some faux confidence "You won't find him and even if you do he won't be caught as easily as I was, he's more stubborn than Renji and Madarame combined".
Soi-Fon was mildly impressed at Rukia's defiance in the face of certain death but that didn't change the fact that she was still angry at Rukia for her little Jab at her squad earlier but with nothing left to say Soi-fon dragged her away away from the captain's meeting room.
Squad eight captain Shunsui Kyuroku sighed and tilted his hat "Man, what a mess".
Squad thirteen captain Jushiro Ukitake, Rukia's captain looked down in sadness "Rukia has always had a good heart that was her greatest attribute but to openly bring a hollow, the creature's we have been trained to kill into the seretei..." Jushiro couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence.
Head captain Yamamoto banged his cane on the floor "Regardless of our own personal feelings about the matter Rukia Kuchiki is a condemned criminal and will be executed and after this is over we can refocus on the upcoming war with Souske Aizen and the other traitors" Yamamoto announced and left the room, the other captain's following close behind.
With Rukia in the white tower.
Rukia sat in her cell looking out of one of the few windows in perfect view of the Sogyoku, "So this is how it ends... Ichi, please don't get caught, please don't come for me" Ruka said to herself sadly. But her wish wasn't granted as an explosion rocked the tower.
All over the Seretei.
"Warning. Warning. Hollow activity has been detected in the vicinity of the white tower? All captain's and lieutenant's proceed to the tower" Announced a voice that echoed throughout the Seretei leaving one thought in the heads of every captain and lieutenant "oh Shit".
Back at the tower.
Everyone arrived at the tower to see the entrance smoking and broken which in itself was a surprise considering that the doors were reinforced with seki-seki rock, but the shock didn't come from that, it came from the image of a hollow nuzzing Rukia like a loving pet.
The hollow stood on all fours but even like that it stood two foot taller than her, it had a white body akin to a cat but with claws and a tail like a lizzard, it's mask was also lizzard like with two red vertical lines going down either side of it and it had a crest of bright orange furr like a lion but what was most shocking thing about the hollow is that its level of spiritual power was even higher than head captain Yamamoto's.
Eventually the soul reaper's shock subsided and they drew their zanpakuto, "Rukia, what the hell are you doing?" Renji shouted.
Rukia looked at Renji with sadness in her eyes "I'm sorry everyone but I cannot allow you to kill Ichigo, I will not allow my friend to die" Rukia said as she jumped onto the hollow's back "I hope that when we see eachother again it'll be on better terms". Just as Rukia finished her sentence the hollow opened a Garganta and they both disappeared through it.
Once again silence emminated through the area as the Soul Reaper's tried to absorb what they have just seen, had they just witnessed another betrayal? Lost another Soul Reaper to the hollow side? Either way Rukia's punishment is now tenfold. how can you get punished worse than execution? Head captain Yamamoto will find away, he will not stand for this. "Emergency Captain's and lieutenant meeting NOW!" Head captain Bellowed in anger, he will have justice.
