Ichigo walked down the street in Karakura Town

Ichigo walked down the streets in Karakura Town. He was desperately looking for Rukia, who had completely disappeared after school. This made Ichigo very angry. He was sure a Hollow would appear very soon, because they always seemed like they appeared when it was most inconvenient. Rukia was his only way to become a soul reaper. She had that glove that she loved to smack him with, and of course, she kept the Chappy soul candy with her.

"Damnit where did she go?" Ichigo grumbled to himself. After walking around town a bit and checking at home, the Urahara Shop, and school, Ichigo walked into the nearest park and hoped Rukia was there.

"Hey! Ichigo!!" A voice screamed from above him. Ichigo looked up. It was Rukia, in a tree. "So you finally found me? About time." Rukia teased.

"What the hell are you doing in a tree of all places?" Ichigo yelled. "Come down here. What if a Hollow comes? You have the soul candy, remember?"

"Oh yes." Rukia confirmed and checked her phone. "One appeared here in Karakura Town about six minutes ago."

"What!? Then get down here before it eats a soul!" Ichigo yelled and moved below her. Rukia looked up and then down and said,

"I'm stuck."

"You're what?"

"Stuck. I can't get down. I've tried. I hate gigais…" Rukia sighed.

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Ichigo demanded and threw up his arms in frustration.

"Get help or get me down." Rukia said. Ichigo muttered something under his breath. Ichigo thought of how he could get her down.

"I have no idea!" Ichigo concluded. "Why don't you think of something?" Rukia put on a 'thinking' face and thought for a moment.

"I've got it!" Rukia smiled and took out her sketchbook.

"Oh God…" Ichigo muttered and hid his face. He looked back up after she was done at the sad attempt of a diagram. It looked like a stick in the ground with a pile of marshmallows at the bottom. There were also some lovely arrow diagrams, in different colors, highlighting the steps needed to be taken.

"You see…" Rukia produced a pointer stick from nowhere. "You take a chain saw and slowly cut the tree from the bottom until it shortens enough that I can safely jump into a pile of soft objects that you will need to gather."

"Wooo…." Ichigo rolled his eyes.

"Wha…wahh! oh my.. nah!!" Rukia cried and shook the branch she was on.

"What now?" Ichigo grumbled.

"A squirrel! It's attacking!" Rukia screamed and hit around, trying to shake off the squirrel.

"Careful!" Ichigo warned, shortly before Rukia lost balance. Ichigo panickedand tried to do something, which ended up attempting to catch her.

"Ahhh!" They both screamed and thudded to the ground.

"Ahh! Don't hold me like that, you pervert!" Rukia commanded and got up quickly.

"But I was just…Ahh! Why do I bother trying?!" Ichigo asked himself. Rukia brushed herself off.

"Wasn't there something about a Hollow?" Rukia brought up suddenly.


Gasp! I wrote something for Bleach! The world may be ending as we know it. It's like I jumped out of a pool and dipped my toes in uncertainty into another pool. Anyways, this was my first attempt at Bleach fiction. Wooo…exciting. BTW, it's supposed to be early in the plot.
