Chapter 1: Meeting

Yachiru smiled. It had been a long time since she had seen Kenpachi look so happy. She looked down at the lifeless espada. Yachiru almost felt thankful towards Nnoitra, he had given Kenpachi the best battle he had probably ever had. Yachiru had to admit there were several times in the battle when she had been a bit worried for Kenpachi, but it had all worked out and Kenpachi had definitely had a good time.

Yachiru surveyed her surroundings, aside from the actual palace Las Noches; Hueco Mundo really was so barren. After they had managed to get into the outskirts of the palace Kenpachi sensed Ichigo fighting someone with a really large spiritual pressure and immediately separated him self from the rest of the party that had been sent to Hueco Mundo so he could join in the fight. Yachiru was glad they wouldn't be staying in this barren place for long; it really was such a boring looking place she thought.

"Woman, heal my wounds," ordered Kenpachi, bringing Yachiru back from her daydreams. Yachiru was glad that they had found Orihime, she was a nice person and she really shouldn't be made to live in such a nasty place. And her healing ability will make Kenny feel better Yachiru thought with a smile. She knew Kenny would never complain over a simple injury, but it was still good that Orihime would be able to completely heal them.

Yachiru watched as Orihime ran to Kenny, however when she was half way there another espada simply appeared in front of her. He took her shoulder, said something quietly and they were gone. It had all happened so fast, Yachiru really couldn't tell if the espada with the brown hair had used flash step or if he had used some kind of transport kido. Ichigo and Kenpachi tried to stop them but were seconds to late, the espada and Orihime were gone.

"Orihime! Shit, where did they go?!" shouted Ichigo looking around frantically

"Shut up and calm down" snapped Kenpachi, "I'm not sure exactly where she is but…"

Yachiru shuddered as she heard a cold yet familiar voice being broadcast throughout Hueco Mundo. Aizen told them that he was starting the invasion of Karakura Town and that they could find Orihime inside the palace. As he spoke the portals that had taken them to this barren world closed. They were trapped.

As Kenpachi talked to Ichigo about the plan soul Society had to protect Karakura Town, Yachiru decided to see who Ichigo's companion was. During Kenny and Nnoitra's battle Yachiru had noticed Orihime healing what looked like a young arrancar. She went up to the girl who was watching Kenpachi and Ichigo with a worried look on their face. She was definitely an arrancar thought Yachiru, with that hollow mask on her head, but she had never really expected an arrancar to look so young, and she had certainly never expected an arrancar to be traveling with Ichigo. But since she had been traveling with Ichigo, she must be all right.

"Hi" said Yachiru hoping to start some sort of conversation with the arrancar girl

The arrancar girl slowly looked up at Yachiru "hi… you also a Shinigami?"

"Yep, I'm Yachiru the lieutenant of squad 11." She replied.

"Hmmm, well I'm Nel. I've been traveling with Ichigo for a while."

At that they both looked over towards Ichigo as he started towards the palace and Orihime, Ichigo's flash step ability had certainly improved and it wasn't long before he had covered the several kilometers that separated them from middle of Las Noches

"There's a lot of spiritual pressure coming from that direction," commented Kenpachi. Yachiru looked behind her. Kenpachi was looking at the direction Ichigo had gone, an excited glimmer in his eyes. "I bet there's a lot of people there I can fight! Come on Yachiru lets go. Before that bastard Ichigo gets all the good fights." Yachiru jumped onto Kenpachi's back, leaving Nel still sitting on the ground looking lost. "You were traveling with Ichigo weren't you?" said Kenpachi looking down at Nel

"Mmmhmm" replied Nel as she played with a hole in her rags.

"Well you better come too" he said making room for Nel on his back. Once Nel was secure on Kenpachi's back he began at amazing speed towards Las Noches.

Hey Guys!

This is my first attempt ever at a fanfic story despite the fact I have had this account since 2007. So please let me know what you think of it. :). By the time you read this we might actually know what Nel and Yachiru got up to in Hueco Mundo, but I like my idea. I have already finished the story and it had 10 chapters.
