"Allison?" Somewhere far away, Renji's anxious voice was breaking through. "Come on, open your eyes. You're gonna be okay. Please, please be okay!"

"Renji, calm yourself. She's fine." Allison knew that voice. It belonged to Kensei. But why was he here? Wait a second, where even was 'here'? She remembered cooking dinner and then-

Ulquiorra. Door. Running. Bleeding. Relief.

Allison slowly opened her eyes. The world seemed fuzzy at first until she heard Renji yell in surprise or happiness, she wasn't sure which. His arms were suddenly around her, pulling her up and crushing her into his chest.

"Ow," Allison said as her bruised face made contact with his naked chest. He pulled back but kept her at arms length.

"Why are you shirtless?" she asked him, squinting. Her head was pounding and she felt completely drained of energy. He rolled his eyes and grabbed a crumbled up bloodied white shirt off the floor. He balled it up and placed it against the right side of her eye where she could still feel a slight sting.

A sad look crossed his face. "You wouldn't stop bleeding."

Allison frowned and brought her right hand up and placed it upon Renji's that was dabbing her wound. "I'm fine." It didn't occur to her if she was saying that to comfort him or convince herself. She sighed, "I will be fine."

Renji nodded and looked away from the blood to her eyes. "What happened to you and Rukia?"

Allison's eyes widened and she tried to scramble up from where she was awkwardly sitting on the

hard, stone floor. "Rukia! Where is she? Is she alright? Is Ichigo with her!"

"Whoa, whoa!" Renji shouted and grabbed her arms, forcing her back down. "You need to rest! Calm down! She's fine! Look," he pointed to the left and Allison turned and saw Rukia, still wet from the rain, sitting on the ground with her knees to her chest and head resting on Ichigo's shoulder with her eyes closed. Ichigo was glaring at anyone who got close to her and had his arms wrapped protectively around her small body.

From what Allison could make out, Rukia had a few bruises here and there. But the most noticeable was a bruise around her throat that resembled Ulquiorra's hand perfectly.

"That bastard!" Allison growled.

Renji cocked an eyebrow at her. "Never heard you use that language before."

"Ulquiorra! He did that to her!" Allison harshly yelled, pointing at Rukia. "He choked her, demanding information on where Orihime was!"

"Orihime?"

Allison turned her attention back to Renji. She slumped down on her knees. "That's right. You don't know. You both were gone! Where the hell were you guys! Rukia and I were left worrying!"

"Right. Well, you wouldn't believe what happened to Ichigo and I. Come on," he grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. "Let's go over to Ichigo and talk it over."

Renji dragged her to where Ichigo and Rukia were and stopped when Ichigo had a good ten feet bubble surrounding him and the still unconscious Rukia.

Allison stood behind Renji and looked at Ichigo, who was glaring slightly at Renji and Allison as they approached them.

"Ichigo, its just us, you know we won't hurt her," Allison spoke carefully. Ichigo's eyes soften a bit and he nodded his head. Allison now lead Renji to where the couple sat and plotted down on the floor, the new arriving couple sat crossed legged in front of Ichigo and Rukia.

"Sooo, what the hell happened that you two, you know, disappeared and ended up here?" Allison asked in a sweet, innocent voice.

Ichigo gave a sigh and tightened his arms around Rukia before looking at Allison and starting his tale. "As you know we can get a little over protective." Allison snickered, both men gave her a look and a slight blush graced her face before Ichigo continued.

"Well, as I was saying, I don't exactly want Rukia fighting Hollows right now, especially now that she's pregnant, and Renji wasn't willing to allow you to fight either, so we sorta used that as an excuse. Now that's not really the point. The point is that once we defeated the Hollows we were heading back home when a Senkimon opened and out came Gin, Rangiku, and Toshiro. Rangiku was pretty banged up and Gin and Toshiro weren't great either, so we helped them get to a safe place. We took them to Urahara's. Everything was fine, they were getting healed and were about to tell us what was happening when we're attacked." Allison's eyes widened, taking in the information

"Urahara and Yoruichi took care of it and they told us to take Gin, Rangiku and Toshiro to the Visards where they were sure to be safe. We did the only thing we could and got out. Once we got there we stayed. We tried to go and get you two, in case you got attacked by what attacked us, but someone..." He glared at the Visards that were near, "wouldn't let us go." he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Renji realized Ichigo wouldn't say anymore so he continued. "Well anyway, something is happening in the Soul Society, but that doesn't explain why Ulquiorra attacked you two," he finished, his voice becoming strained by the end of the sentence.

Ichigo seemed to revive at the mention of Ulquiorra. He growled, "Which reminds me, I'm going to kill that bastard Ulquiorra when I see him!" he looked back down at Rukia to her neck where the bruises were clearly showing.

"So, Gin, Rangiku, and Toshiro are here?" Allison asked.

"Yes, and I have completed healing all three," came the gentle voice of a very large man by the name of Hachi.

"Yo, Ichigo!" Shinji shouted, "Remember how I told you you can come any time?" He didn't wait for Ichigo to answer and continued, "Well, I didn't mean you could bring your friends you ass!"

"Shinji, shut the hell up!" Ichigo shouted, and turned his attention to the larger man, "Hachi, thank you for healing them. Could you possibly look at Rukia now, and Allison, too?"

The gentle giant bowed his head and approached them. He extended his large hand and Allison took it and replied, "Thank you."

Ichigo picked up Rukia and carried her to a door in the floor that lead to the basement.

Once down there, Hachi approached Allison but she told him she was fine and begged for him to go to Rukia.

He complied and checked Rukia over. Once Hachi was done, Ichigo asked a very important question they all wanted to know, "How is our baby?"
