Previously on Our Way:

Ichigo's smile turned into a grin "I got you now Ms. Rukia Kuchiki" and he ran off to school

Meanwhile at the Soul Society

Isane Kotetsu made her way through the crowd even pushing some of them but anything she was able to se was a hint of red hair. "I wonder if...No it can't be…but…no" with

that said she came back to squad 4 headquarters.

Who was that person with the red hair? You will see it in Chapter 4 :).

*************Chapter 3: More than meets the eye***************

Captain Hitsugaya was finishing his job while Rangiku peacefully slept at the sofa. Everyday was the same routine, he returned home really tired because of the extra work or maybe it was because of his child needs. Toshiro let out a big sigh and walked to the sofa, he was tired, tired of the samething.

"Lieutenant Matsumoto, that's it" he said while she opened her blue eyes in surprise "About what captain?" she asked blinking her eyes. "This behavior has got to stop, your acting like an old woman sleeping at every hour" he replied "And you always act like Momo's guard dog" she covered her mouth realizing what she just said. "Who's talking about Momo?, don't change the conversation, stop this behavior or else I will have to talk with Head Captain Yamamoto" Toshiro stepped out of the room.

"Me and my big sexy mouth... I'll just have to show Captain how reliable I am, but the question is how?...I got it!" Rangiku dashed onto squad 6 headquarters and bumped into Renji "Hey Renji, you look like a loyal puppy, how do you always manage to keep Captain Kuchiki happy? Renji didn't heard the question, he was focusing on two big reasons that came across his path.

"Renji?? Hello?? Damn you're totally useless" she said quite annoyed. Rangiku walked all night until she decided it was impossible to find someone who would help her. She sat on a bench thinking about stuffs her captain liked. "Come to think of it, he never likes anything, this is going to hard"

***************Meanwhile at squad 4 headquarters*******************

Isane was tending some injured squad 11 members "You always pick fights, don't you guys? Don't you ever get tired, about this life… fighting all the time must be tiring…" she said while she soaked a towel and placed it on a patient's forehead. "Is not that bad" she heard coming from the door. Isane turned around only to feel her face turning slightly pink, she felt her stomach going up and down or maybe her heart fell to her stomach and was beating like there was no tomorrow. "Are you ok Isane?" he said and he's voice sounded like he cared, a lot "I'm perfectly fine, is just that seeing you so suddenly isn't really the best" she said feeling nervous "Why? Do I look bad?" he said looking at her firmly in the eye.

Isane's face turned red, she stumbled across some of her patient's properties, almost fell because of a book and finally hit her forehead at the wall before slipping outside. "I have to go do some things Ashido" she was about to run until he grabbed his hand. "I just came back and this is the greeting I get?" she managed to slip her hand out "I'm sorry but I really need to help Captain Unohana, maybe we can spend some time later" she smiled at him. "I'll hold you to that" was the last thing she could hear him say before she ran at full speed, she made sure she was really far away from him" and took a deep breath "Now back to work"

*****************Outside at the human world************************

Rukia was felling really uncomfortable. Orihime had invited her for some tea and cookies but, she also said she needed a friend to talk to.

"Rukia" Orihime said, fidgeting with her fingers "What?" Rukia asked while she kept reading her book titled "Teenager life for dummies" "I need your advice" she paused "Since you are always so close to Ichigo…" she paused again "What does he thinks of me?"

Rukia raised an eyebrow "Well, he thinks you are a nice friend and he also thinks you are a bit…how do you say? ...cuckoo? … Nuts? Yeah nuts" she continued to read her book and grabbed a cookie. "No that's not what I meant… I meant, do you think he likes me?" Rukia looked up "What kind of question is that?" she asked "The kind of question I would do to someone I considered my true friend, and since I do, I'll make you a confession… I really love Ichigo, I really do, I just don't know how to tell him so please, Rukia, please help me… Rukia chocked with a cookie, how could she help her when she… "Of course I will Orihime!" she hugged her and stood up "Anyways I have to go, It was nice… the tea, can't say the same about the cookies, bye!"

A grin appeared on Orihime's face, she knew, she was really sure that Rukia had a crush on Ichigo, that's why she used the 'friend in need technique'. She won't lose Ichigo, she will use any method available because when you're in love friends become enemies and everything is possible. "Rukia will pay , she will pay for taking my place, I am the one who should be by his side, I am the one who he needs, I am the one who he should risk his life for saving, she's only an impostor, she only came to throw down everything I have fought for, Rukia is the only thing that's between us Ichigo, but don't worry, soon enough she will realize were she belongs and that's dead with the rest of her friends and family"

////////////////////////////////////1 hour later\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Why did you come here? Said Grimmjow coming out of the shadows. "I need your services" Orihime answered "And why would I help you?" he asked quite interested "Because Ulquiorra hates me, and by helping me you would be going against him and then you would have a reason to prove that you are stronger than him" she answered. "Mmmmm.......Deal, what do you want me to do?"… he asked holding his zanpaku-to. "Kill Rukia Kuchiki, I will lend you my Shunshunrikka and you will be able to attack, defend, reject and heal, it works like this"

Baigon, Hinagiku and Lily will help you perform Santenkesshun, it rejects all attacks.

Ayame and Shuno use Sontenkishun, my healing ability.

Lastly, Tsubaki performs Kontenzashun, my offensive technique, it slices trough everything.

"That's the only one I will need so cut the chit-chat and let's start this". Orihime handed her Shunshunrikka without knowing that Sosuke Aizen was hearing every little detail.
