"We warned you to just stay away but your own arogance led to this now, just stay there and die quietly and we wont have a problem."
"ICHIGO; URYU NOOOOOO!" orohime screamed at the top of her voice"
uryu and ichigo layed there motion less as they continued to bleed out, orohime rushed to there aid and atempted to heal them as quickly as possible but, it was no use
they continued to bleed out.
"Why, Why isnt this working? Come on, don't you to dare die on me, just, just dont die." as orohime spoke her eyes filled with tears and and her voice began to get
quieter and quieter.
"We will be taking our leave now but its only because of the bravery that man with the orange hair showed, we will see you again sometime soul reapers, but the next
time we meet we won't be leaving until your dead and we will have the power of the hokyoku with us."
They then grabed aizen and dissapeared into the night.
The over squads finally made it to the scene but it was too late, all that they could see was the result of the catastrafe that had just ocured.
The unohana shouted "SQUAD 4 GET THESE SOLDIERS TO THE INFERMARY AND GET EMERGENCY TREATMENT TO BOTH ICHIGO KUROSAKI AND URYU ISHIDA NOW!"
you could hear the desperation and worry in her voice, the squad raced to the injured peoples aid and lifted them to the infermary.
Ichigo and uryu was in critical condition and had to be patched up imediatly since they had all ready lost alot of blood. Squad 4 tried there best but it wasn't enough
Ichigo was just barley spared however... uryu had lost too much blood and had vital artaries punctured, the sword had also passed through one of his lungs.
"im afraid i have some bad news consurining uryu, he's, dead"
All his freinds were shocked to hear the news and orohime burst into tears.
"What about ichigo how's he doing, don't tell me that he's dead too"
"no we have managed to keep him stable for the time being, his life is no longer in any danger, but it will take about a week to make a full recovery"
"well at least thats good news" renji said with a bit of relife
Orohimay was crying her eyes out over the death of her freind, every one was upset but there sadness was lifted a little thanks to the good news about ichigo.
After orohime stoped crying they went into the infermary to go see ichigo, he was resting peacefully but he was wraped in bandages. Rukia imediatly dropped
down to his side and started weeping,
"Im sorry, Im sorry ichigo, Im sory that i couldnt prevent you from getting hurt"
This was shocking to everybody, they had no clue that she felt for him so deeply and had all ways been worried about him. The same thought came to everybodys mind,
"Is she in love with ichigo?"
No one could comprehend the thaught of rukia to fall in love with some one, she dosen't really seem like that kind of girl. Then rukia grabed ichigos hand and drew it
close to her, ichigo then responded by firmly griping her hand and mumbling the words "rukia" softly.
Every one was stund to hear him uter those words, it was as if he had a spirituall conection to rukia and could tell what she was doing even wiel uncoscious.
Renji then said "I think that we should go, we had best leave these two alone for a little bit, we will come back later."
Rukia let go of ichigo's hand and quickly said "wait it's ok you don't have to-" at that moment ichigo reached out and grabed rukias hand he did not want her
to leave his side
"no rukia don't go, please, don't leave me" Ichigo muttered as a tear fell from his eye.
"Like i said, we had best leave and give you two some privacy, He only wants you to be by his side so take care of him rukia;"
"Rhight, thank you guys" she said with tear jerked eyes
"Hey, don't sweat it"
Rukia then stayed by ichigo's side all night but he still didn't wake up. She stayed with him day and night, she bathed him, clothed him and changed his bed sheets
for him until the 5th day after the incedent happend. It was 2am and rukia was sat beside ichigos bed asleep with her head resting on his chest, when sudenly ichigo
opend his eyes. To his suprise he found rukia burying her head into ichigos chest.
"Hey rukia, rukia wake up" Ichigo said gently
Rukia began to open her eyes and sit up, when she realised who had woken her up she became over joyed
"ICHIGO, thank god, that god, your finally awake" She exclaimed with tears in her eyes and giving him a big hug.
"Rukia im fine, its ok"
"No ichigo its not fine youve been out for 5 days now, I've been worried sick about you. I was wondering if you'd ever wake up."
"Wow 5 days really?"
"yeah ichigo 5 days i was afraid that you would end up just like uryu." After she said that she then realised what a terrible mistake it was to mention uryu at that
moment.
"Wha- What do you mean that you was afraid that i might end up like uryu? What hapened to uryu?"
"hmmm well"
"TELL ME RUKIA!"
"when you was run through by the enmys zanpaktuo he also stabed uryu it cut some of his artarees and it punctured his lung and then he died"
Ichigo went pale and became as stiff as a board,
"This is all my fault, if only i had been so reckles in trying to attack the enemy maybe uryu would still bee with us right now."
"no ichigo, this is not your fault, because of you they retreted, if you hadn't have done that we would have all been killed."
Ichigo then began to panicly speak "No but even so if only i had been-"
Ichigo was interupted from speaking and he sudenly found rukia with her arms around him and they were locking lips.
He was shocked, he had no idea that rukia felt this way about him, but, nether the less he was happy, Ichigo had loved rukia for a long time but didn't know how to
confess his feelings to her. Ichigo leand back until he was laying flat and continued to make out with rukia, they continued until they were so tiered they couldn't
continue. Rukia the fell asleep on top of ichigo and then he followed shotly after.
