Orihime was kidnapped and Ichigo, Ishida and Sado were still trying to recover themselves from the crushing defeat. Ishida and Sado were still conscious, but Ichigo had fought so hard that he almost lost his life. The 3 were brought by Yoruichi at Urahara's place and Tessai has healed most of their wounds. Ichigo was the true problem because oh his reckless. He had lost the most blood in his body and he had severe wounds. Tessai managed to get out of Ichigo's room after a couple of hours, then he walked to Ishida and Sado. "I'm sorry, but this is the best I can do."

"Don't worry, you have done enough. Thanks for your help, I feel better already."

"Yeah, me too..." Said Sado. Tessai was aware of their lies. With their bodies so wounded it's probably hard for them to stand up. They need to wait a long time to heal their wounds, but now there was no time to lose. With every moment will pass they will be closer to never find her. The atmosphere was silent, each one was preoccupied with his thoughts. After a few minutes they heard the sound of steps on the wooden floor. They turned their gaze in the direction of the sound. The footsteps approaching increasingly louder and Urahara finally joined them. Before he had said something he examined them carefully.

"Well, well what's with these sad faces ? Are you going to quit just because you have defeated ?"

"No, we are not going to give up, but we don't have too many things that we can do. The opponents know our abilities and they managed to stop all our attacks. We have to make a plan before you can face them, but I thing we have not many chances to beat them in the condition we are." They heard the door opening and Ichigo appeared with his body leaning on Zangetsu.

"What the hell, Ishida ? You're talking that we had already lost. As long I can move, I will not stop and I will beat them and I will make them regret the day when they were born." Ishida smiled, and Tessai tried to convince Ichigo to go back to his bed because his wounds can be opened anytime. "Tsh... Do you think that only some wounds will stop me ? I will no rest until Inoue will bring Inoue back."

"You're an idiot as always, Kurosaki." Ichigo grinned. It seems like Ishida agreed with his idea. The atmosphere was interrupted again by Urahara who hit his hat with his fan while he was smiling amused by the situation.

"Well, I'm glad that now we're on the same wavelenght, but unfortunately all we can do now is just to wait."

"What the hell are you trying to say with this ? Inoue is in danger and do you want us to just sit and wait ? You're crazy."

"Kurosaki, calm down. Let's see what he wanted to say. It's not like we are able to follow Orihime's kidnappers right now. I understand that you want to save her, all of us want this, but we can not go without a plan like the last time, so please be patient." Ichigo wanted to denied Ishida's words, but he already felt like his body was about to collapse. He definitely will not be capable to win a fight against the kidnappers, despite he didn't want to recognize they are strong. So he would better ensured himself that Urahara would not put them in one of his crazy plans. Urahara smiled again, pleased that the room was covered in peace again.

"Now that we're all here and we want the same thing I can reveal the plan that I thought. Yoruichi was following Orihime and her kidnappers while Tessai was healing you, but she seems that she lost them."

"How can you be so calm saying this ? That means that now we really lost her, thanks for nothing, Urahara."

"Ichigo, I would ask you to keep your comments until I will finish. Thank you." Ichigo muttered a few curses, but Urahara preffered to ignore him. "Yoruichi lost them because they used a secret technique of teleportation, but it really helped me to realize who they are. I had suspicioms from the begining, but after I did some research and Yoruichi confirmed me some details I came to a conclusion. " Urahara pulled out from his behind a stack od sheets and pfotos then she scattered them on the floor. Ichigo was surprise to see again those bastards faces. It seems that Urahara was really good with his researches. Urahara was pleased seeing Ichigo's face what proved that his researched hadn't failed and he continued his monologue. "This is the clan Shuhei. One of the most powerful and dangerous clan of Soul Society. They are so powerful that even captain commanding avoid to interact with them."

"I heard this name once. Is Shuhei Hisagi somehow a part of this clan ?"

"Oh, so you met Hisagi. Good observation, Ishida, now you will understand easier. You've probably noticed the dark nature of Hisagi's power. All Shuhei clan is cursed by the darkness. Childen are usualy trained to develop their skills and to become criminals, but Hisagi's story is different. He is an orohan ,,adopted'' by Kaname. He helped him to train to become a good shinnigami and Kaname managed to make him to give up at the most of his dark, although it still exists inside him. The proof is his zampakutou what has an intense desire to kill as many people it could. Because Hisagi is a good person and he likes that, he decided to use as little he could his zampakutou to avoid the criminal intent from his blood to take control on his mind and body. Shuhei clan has no mercy and it isn't dealing with kidnappings, which put me to think at this problem more seriously. Shuhei clan was pretty quiet in the last 50 years so the question is what made him to do such a move right now. In the last days I felt a hight spiritual energy like a arrancar. But I believe that it was because I caught a cold so I didn't taken it seriously."

" So you put us in danger because you not saying to us about it, just because you thought that you imagined it ? And let me guess. You saved us and you involved in Orihime's salvation just because you feel guilty. Isn't it ?"

"Ichigo, you make me seem so horrible when you say that."

"Because that's the truth. So what can we do to save her ?"

"We can wait and see what happens through the device what I attached on her."

"Wait a minute. Dis she agreed with that ?"

"What don't you know can not hurt you."

"You're lucky that I could not move, because you would be a dead man." Urahara smiled perversely, then he asked Tessai to bring the projector. He entered a code , then on the opposite wall were projected images of Orihime's perspective. She was at a big table full of food, but she was terribly alone. In a corner of the room were two guards. Orihime sighed then she ran her spoon in the bowl in front of her, not intending to eat. The doors had soon opened and Ulquiorra made his appearance. Orihime moved her gaze on him, making her spoon to hit the red velvet carpet. She was shocked, as the boys who were watching everithing from her perspective. How could Ulquiorra to be alive ? Ichigo killed him with his own hands, and the bastard turned into ashes. Ulquiorra approached to Orihime and he lifted her in air by her wrists. Orihime tried to escape, but he was too powerfull for her. Ulquiorra took the hair clip where it was Urahara's spying device, then he let the orange haired girl to crash to the floor. The boy carefully examinated the device, then she breathed confident.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, you will have to put more effort to save this woman. Don't think that your tricks will work on me 2 times. I expect you and I hope that you don't thing that our fight will end like the last. This time you will be the loser." After he spoke these words, Urahara crushed the device in his hands. Then he went to Orihime and he offered to her his hand to rise herself. "Raise yourself, it's time to eat. "

P.S. What do you think about this story ? Is it worth continuing ?
