previous chapter...

"There one more person missing," Uryu began to curse, there was still 10 seconds left. The person they were waiting for was a very valuable part of the mission but if they didn't show up, Uryu had no choice but to drive away.

"10 seconds, damn it," Orihime silently cursed finally reaching the back door. Just as she was about to cross the threshold into her safe haven, the van, she heard something that caused her to freeze.

"Agent Inoue," the man who seemed to be quiet a few feet away, said loud enough for her to hear, pulling a trigger.

She quickly managed to break away from her shock, escaping through the doors she hopped into the near bye van.

"DRIVE,'' she shrieked, tightly holding the wound bleeding on her shoulder, a few inches above her heart.

Cabin

As Uryu heard the female scream, he jumped into the front seat and began to make his way out of the vicinity of the hotel. As the navigation turned on, he tried to prevent any accidents from happening.

The woman was shot.

That wasn't suppose to happen.

Only a handful of people knew about this mission.

Something was wrong.

While a shaky Uryu drove the car, Orihime sat in the bathroom in pain, holding pressure to the wound on her shoulder. Taking off her dress and placing it in a Ziploc plastic bag, she needed the finger prints of Mr. Ermolai to be intact. If they weren't, she would have failed half her mission, taking a bullet for nothing. Grimmjow and Nel had sat in the front with Uryu, a gun at there side, they kept an eye on the surrounding mirrors. Watching for intruders, they would shoot at anything that stood as a possible threat. Chad, Renji, and Rukia had gone to the back of the van also watching out for an ambush. They would kill without mercy, that was there job. Outside the bathroom stood Ichigo searching for towels, rubbing alcohol and anything else he could find in the van to treat the wounds of the girl in the bathroom.

Barging into the bathroom with the materials in his arms, Ichigo ignored the fact that Orihime was practically half naked. Loosening his tie, he opened up the first three buttons on his shirt. Checking her pulse he noticed it was slowly deteriorating, meaning he had to work fast. She was still able to move most of her body parts and the wound wasn't near any vital organs, he asked her to try to keep consciousness for her own good. Controlling the bleeding with his hands, he put pressure on the surrounding area. Bunching a towel up together, he gave it to her to bight on while he began to assist her wound. There were occasional grunts, but for the most part she tried to keep her pain on mute. He worked on her shoulder in the bathroom for the next hour, finally cleaning it up and wrapping it. She had lost blood, but thankfully not enough to kill her. As Ichigo began to wash the blood off his hands, he couldn't do anything about the white dress shirt covered in the substances.

"Thank you," Orihime responded quietly, recovering from her initial shock from the bullet penetrating into her skin.

"No problem," he responded, "Try not to move your shoulder to much, I spent over an hour mending your wounds Miss..?"

"Inoue, Orihime Inoue." She said with a weak smile on her face.

"Ichigo Kurosaki," Said a smiling Ichigo.

He tried to ignore the fact that her bra was only being held with one strap for he had to cut it to get to the wound. She was a very attractive female, he noticed. Although her assets were covered, he still understood how to respect a lady. After all, his mom did raise him that way. Going outside the bathroom door, he grabbed his black suit top he had disposed of before he tended to Orihime's wounds. Walking back into the bathroom, he draped it over her shoulders to cover her exposed body.

"Thank you," she said once again weakly. He nodded.

"Come on, you've done your job and lost enough blood for the day. You need some sleep, I'll wake you once we get to the hideout." She was too exhausted to respond. Leaning on Ichigo, he helped her walk to the seats outside the bathroom.

Helping her down, he sat next to her. She quickly fell asleep lying against an equally worn out Ichigo. Except he refused to fall asleep, with his eyes wide open, he couldn't risk to fall asleep. Not while they were still completing the mission.

Location: Secret Base in Washington, D.C
Time: 10:02 pm

Kisuke Urahara stood without fear in his eyes, the emotion on his face unreadable. With a gun to his head, he was treasuring every breath moving in and out of his body.

"I take that as a no, old friend?" Said a thrilled Sosuke Aizen. "Goodbye, Kisuke."

As Gin Ichimaru was about to pull the trigger, a thundering alarm in the building went off, warning the workers in the base there were intruders that broke through out the security. There were flashing red lights all throughout the building, panic flooding the rooms. A second later, a bullet shot through the window of Sosuke's office. Aizen barely missed it from going through him; instead the bullet flew into a static Kisuke's head. As his body fell to the ground, Gin rapidly transported Aizen out of his office.

Standing inside an abandoned building over 2500 feet away from Aizen's room stood a masked being, grabbing there sniper rifle and placing it in there black truck, they drove away from the scene.

Back in the FBI quarters, a group of armed men walked into the office of there head. One of the men bent on there knee and checked Kisuke's pulse. Finding none, he shook his head.

"Time of death 10:04 pm." Said the man.

The group removed a dead Kisuke's body to a different room. If one were to look outside the base at that moment, in the parking lot stood the same black truck.

Location: Hideout in Penza, Russia
Time: 8:32 am

Reaching the hideout 398 miles away from there previous location, the group of eight experienced a long nine hour drive. Only stopping once for gas in the outskirt of Moscow, the eight agents waited at the edge of there seats in the van. Orihime had woken up six hours into the drive, gripping a rifle she began to run her hand over the wound Ichigo wrapped up.

"This is going to leave a nasty scar." She whispered to no one. Unknown to her, a worried Nel heard every word.

"Hey, I'm Nell! I just wanted to check up on you, are you okay?" She went from a bubbly being to serious in the blink of an eye.

"Yes, thank you. If it weren't for agent Kurosaki, I don't think I would've made it," Orihime said sighing. "I owe him my life."

"Well at least that idiot did something right, I hope your recovery goes well." Added Rukia passing by with Renji who nodded.

Orihime smiled at the other agents, "Thank you, that's very kind of you two."

All the inhabitants of the van were wide awake. Finally reaching the hideout that was navigated into the car; a few miles outside the city of Penza in the forest stood a hidden cabin. Hitting the breaks, Uryu parked the car next to said cabin.

"Damn, were finally here." Said a content Grimmjow, tightening his grip around his girlfriend and partner Neliel.

"Thank god!'' She said snuggling into his touch.

As Renji took the cabin key's from Uryu, he began to open up the doors. Behind Renji, Uryu grabbed his laptop and a few other electronic devices. The others followed. With spy ware, Uryu began to slowly run a small device around the premises for safety precautions. Once he found nothing out of the ordinary, he began to set up his laptop. The other seven began looking around the cabin. After searching, they ended up finding a tape recorder, CD, and a stack of files. Placing it on the large dining room table in the corner of the cabin, the group didn't know what to do.

Approaching the files Orihime looked at the words written over the CD.

"It's Kisuke's handwriting." She said turning to the others.

Approaching the "blonde", Grimmjow began looking through said files.

"These files, there on.. Us? And Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Aizen?" Grimmjow as well as the others were confused.

"Woah, Orihime! Your hair, it's auburn?" Asked a surprised Nel and Rukia.

"Yeah, I had to dye it to.. Blend in." She said.

"Funny, Ichigo had to do the same thing." Said a laughing Rukia.

"Shut up midget." Ichigo scowled.

Looking a long the dining room table, Uryu began to speak.

"As you all are now aware of, we were put on this mission structured by Kisuke Urahara. The mission consisted of many parts hence the fact that there were different groups. I'm not positive on why he grouped us without meeting each other, but I'm sure he has his reasons for it." Uryu said adjusting his glasses.

"Who made four eyes here boss?" asked a stupefied Grimmjow.

"Grimmy be nice! He's our new friend." Nel responded lightly smacking Grimmjow.

"Well I think most of us already met in the van. We started off with two groups of three and two groups of one on the last mission. From here on out, were all working together as one. " The tall orange haired man said.

"Well, I personally think we should look at the files and play the CD. Kisuke said there are still other parts to the mission, he most likely left something behind. Although this doesn't sound anything like him?" Said a confused Renji.

"Of course he left something behind idiot, don't you see that pile right there?" Rukia yelled, hitting Renji upside the head.

Glaring at Rukia, he grabbed her and placed her on his lap.

"Renji! Not in front of people!" she said kicking him.

"Rukia, what the fuck, we've been over this."

Ichigo ignore them, "Renji's right, we should go through the files and everything Kisuke left behind."

Why didn't Kisuke dodge the bullet?

Who was that in the black truck?

Whats on the CD?
