Paperman32123: I own bleach, now tremble at my might.
Rukia: *glares* dance Sade no Shariuki
Paper: fine. I don't own bleach, yet. I just need the help of Grimmjow… he'll probably do it if I allow him to kick Ichigo's ass
Business as Usual
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The sweet sound of a soul pager, it meant that it was time for work.
Ichigo Kurasaki sighed as his wife, Rukia, handed him the device used for contacting shinigami while they where in the field. The problem today: two arrancar, a Menos Grandé and a weak Vasto lordé (not numero's thank god(s)). What once was a rare occurrence was now at least three times a week. Arrancar where much more numerous since the end of the winter war. It had taken a year for Kisuke to find a way to shatter the hogyoku. The hollow wholeing device couldn't gain more power but still turned normal hollows, (normal for a hollow) and they had all trusted Nel with the largest of the fragments.
Two hours later, Ichigo was battered, bruised, and thoroughly pissed. It took him about thirty minutes to destroy the Menos Grandé, but the smaller sized Vasto Lordé was giving him trouble. He had already released Tensa Zangetsu, and still had only damaged this arrancar nuisance. Suddenly, something he hadn't heard in years range in his ears: why don't you use me king. Ichigo shuddered (which looks weird in thin air) "he's back" he said quietly to himself, "still," he thought. "He has a point."
Summoning his mask felt like diving into a pool of water after jogging through a dessert, Overwhelming in a good way. He could feel the power flow out of his mask, through his body, and too the end of his sword.
It took him a little less then a minute. Both arrancar where down and it was time to face another, more disturbing problem: a party to celebrate their victory three years ago. Sighing, Ichigo stepped into his body and stepped into his jet black Porsche. The song "news from the front" by bad religion, blasting out of all four speakers, he sped away into the chilly Japanese evening.
Two figures glided out of the shadows and grabbed the forgotten mask, because Ichigo was in such a hurry he had forgotten to dismiss his mask. The two figures where that of two soul reapers. One was smiling a creepy smile, the other was blind.

I loves me some cliff hangers.
