Chapter 1:

Darkness Approaches in Dreams

"Why don't you come with me and help me defeat my enemies?" The voice asked coldly in the dream.

"Who are you?" Kara asked as she felt a chill go up her spine that had both excited and scared her.

"You'll know who I am soon enough. Then you shall meet my master." The voice said as they reached a pale hand out and brushed it against Kara's cheek making her blush.

Kara get up before you're late for school!

"Did you hear me Kara! I said get up or else you'll be late for school!" Sakura yelled up to her daughter's room.

"What in the hell was that dream about? Who's hand did that belong to?" Kara asked as she touched her cheek where the pale hand touched it moments before she woke up. "Alright I'm going."

A few minutes later Kara left to go and meet up with Ichigo to go to school

-----------------------------------------------

"Hey Kara," Ichigo said on the way to school.

"Hi," she said smiling back.

Ichigo looked at her and saw her eyes looked a little dazed.

"You okay?"

"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I just had a weird dream this morning."

"What was it about?" Ichigo asked.

"Don't tell anyone about my talking to you." Said the voice from the dream in her head.

"I can't remember." She said laughing a little. "Even I don't understand the dream. Who's hand did that belong to? Who was talking to me?"

------------------------------------------

"Hey, Kara." Inoue said walking up to her.

"Hey Inoue." Kara said smiling at her.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Kara-chan had a nice dream this morning." Ichigo said smiling as he patted her head.

"A dream?" Inoue asked.

"I can't remember any of it though." Kara said laughing while slapping Ichigo's hand away.

-------------------------------------

Lunch time had come quick.

"Why don't you eat with us, Kara?" Ichigo asked as he and Inoue went to eat with Chad and Ishida.

"That's okay. I'll pass today." Kara said as she left the classroom.

"What's wrong with Kara?" Chad asked as he saw her leave the room.

"I don't know." Ichigo paused then said, "she's been like that since she told me she had a dream this morning."

"A dream?" Ishida asked.

"Yeah. But she don't remember any of it." Ichigo said.

--------------------------------------

(Hueco Mundo)

"What are you doing Uliquoirra?" Gin asked.

"Nothing," Uliquoirra said as he walked out of the building.

"Uliquoirra?" Aizen asked.

Uliquoirra had looked back. "Yes?"

"Are you going to the human world?"

"I had found an interresting human there." Uliquoirra paused then said, "they have the ability to heal as well as freeze time. The soul society hadn't noticed them yet. Because they don't know it themselves." Then he had opened a portal and had left for the human world.

-------------------------------------

(Human World)

Ichigo had looked at everyone as they had also sensed an Arrancar entered the human realm.

"This power?!" Ichigo said as he ran out of the classroom.

"Ichigo? Where are you going?" The teacher asked.

"Sorry teacher. I suddenly don't feel real good." Ichigo said as he placed his hand over his mouth.

"I see," the teacher said as Ichigo ran down the hall.

"Ichigo? Where are you going?" Kara asked as she seen him running out of the school.

"Kara? You can see me?" Ichigo asked looking at her.

"I'm not blind." She said walking towards him.

"I'm sorry. I can't explain this to you now." Ichigo said as he ran out of the school building.

"What's going on?" Kara thought as she went back to the class room.

Kara had seen Inoue and went up to her.

"Hey Inoue? What's going on with Ichigo." She paused then whispered, "I just seen him run out of school in black clothes."

Inoue looked at Kara in shock.

"What do you mean?" Inoue asked avoiding the question.

"Plus it was strange when I saw he had a sword on his back."

Inoue looked at Ishida and Chad.

"I think you should talk to Ichigo about that." Chad said placing his hand on Kara's shoulder.

"Okay," Kara said nodding her head.

"If the teacher asks if you had seen Ichigo on your way back here. Say yeah and that he was heading towards the bathroom covering his mouth." Ishida said.

"Sure," Kara said back.

----------------------------------------------

Ichigo had gone to the area of where he felt the huge energy from.

As he had gone to the area he looked a saw a pale figure wearing a white trench coat and weilding a green handled sword. The figure had teal cat-like eyes as well as teal lines going down from his eyes that almost look like tears.

"I recognize you." Ichigo said pulling his sword out. "Why are you here, Uliquoirra?"

"To get what Aizen-sama wants." Uliquoirra lied.

"So you're after Inoue again?" Ichigo asked striking his sword toward Uliquoirra.

"No," Uliquoirra said moving swiftly it almost looked like he teleported behind Ichigo.

"They why are you here?"

"I don't repeat myself." Uliquoirra said then left the area of where Ichigo was.

"Damn it!" Ichigo swore and left after Uliquoirra. "Why in the hell are you here! You bastard! What does Aizen want this time?!"

Uliquorra had gone to the school roof of Ichigo's school.

Ichigo fallowed him.

Kara was up here eariler? Could she be what this bastard is after?

Uliquorra had entered the school.

Does she go to this building with these other worthless creatures? They are not worth my time. I only came to find her then leave." Uliquoirra thought.

He stopped at Ichigo's classroom and opened the door.

There she is.

Uliquoirra had entered the classroom as Ichigo came into the hallway.

"Stop! You bastard!" Ichigo yelled.

Uliquoirra had walked towards Inoue and Kara as they were talking.

"You leave them alone!" Ichigo yelled in the doorway.

Inoue, Chad, and Ishida had seen the Arrancar enter the room.

"What in the hell is going on?" Ishida asked.

"Who is that?" Kara asked.

Inuoe looked towards Kara a little shocked.

"You can see him?" Chad asked.

Kara nodded her head.

Uliquoirra had appeared in front of Kara and grinned. "You shall meet my master very soon." He leaned towards Kara and gently brushed his lips against hers, barely touching them. Then he whispered, "sweet dreams." Before he left through the window.

Kara opened her eyes wide for a split second as she blushed a little.

"Kara!" Ichigo yelled appearing in the classroom doorway. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm okay." Kara said with a little uncertanty in her voice.

"Are you sure?" Ichigo asked a little worried still.

"I'm sure," Kara said smiling. "I'm okay, Ichigo. You don't have to worry about me."

"But if he is after you. I don't want you to get hurt." Ichigo thought with concern in his eyes.

Class had seemed to end fast after the incident from the classroom.

"Hey Kara. I'll walk you home today." Ichigo said with a stern look.

"Okay," Kara said nodding her head.
