A/N: Thank you for the review. Yes, a single review. Come on people! Title Kubo owns Bleach. Not me. I don't own any of sodas, food names, or songs used in this chapter. Thanks to everyone who added me/the story to the alerts and/or favs. It really boosts me up, since I don't know if this is really that good or not. And I really wish that people would review. Also anything bold italics is Ichigo's hollow talking and anything bold underline italics is Zangetsu, and anything bold underline is both Ichgo's hollow and Zangetsu, and anything regular italics is Ichigo, and anything italics underline is Ichigo and Zangetsu. Oh and the first part of the plot goes to XRanger 13

Chapter Four: Stupid Hollows

"Ichigo!" Rukia shouted before shoving him out of his body. Ichigo ran towards the hollow and pulled Zangetsu off of his back.

"LET THEM GO!" Ichigo shouted as he jumped and swung Zangetsu down, cutting the hollow in half.

"AHH!" Yuzu and Karin screamed as they started to fall. Suddenly the Kurosaki twins were caught by Toushiro Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto.

"Toushiro!" Karin said in surprise as he set her back on her feet.

"Toushiro! Rangiku! Thanks for catching them." Ichigo got back into his body and walked over to them

"It's Captain Hitsugaya to you," Toushiro remarked as Ichigo pulled Yuzu and Karin into a hug.

"It's not a problem, Ichigo." Rangiku smiled as Yuzu looked over at her.

"Thank you for catching me," Yuzu said as a smile spread across her face.

"How about you guys join us?" Karin suggested as Ichigo and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"No. We came here on business." Toushiro's statement caused Yuzu to look at him funny.

"How can you have a job? You're just a kid like Karin and me," Yuzu said as everyone, minus her and the tenth squad captain, to laugh.

"I'M NOT A LITTLE KID!" Toushiro shouted causing Ichigo to sober up a little bit.

"Don't yell at her like that Toushiro. She doesn't see spirits like Karin." Ichigo pulled Yuzu into another hug as he watched Toushiro with narrowed eyes.

"Fine, we'll join you once we finish. Has Urahara or Yoruichi told you anything else about this new spiritual pressure that they found in Hueco Mundo?" Toushiro asked as Ichigo sighed and scratched his head.

"No. Earlier today is when we found out. I have no clue what this is all about. I'm going to contact the Vizards later to see if they know anything." Ichigo watched as the boy captain sighed and nod his head.

"Fine." Toushiro and Rangiku then joined the teens as they tried to enjoy the rest of the day at the beach.

"Do you think that they will know anything about the spike of pressure?" Rukia asked Ichigo as the two of them walked along the water's edge.

"I'm hoping so, but then again, they may not." Ichigo wrapped an arm around Rukia's shoulders and pulled her close.

"I do too." Rukia wrapped an arm around Ichigo's waist as the two continued to walk.

"Uryu told me that there was going to be fireworks tonight." Ichigo and Rukia had stopped and were looking out over the water.

"Really? That will be cool." Rukia looked up at Ichigo as he nodded his head, smiling slightly.

"Yeah it will." Ichigo and Rukia looked out over the water. Suddenly a hollow appeared. "Damn hollows."

"I hear that." Rukia replied as she shoved Ichigo out of his body again. Ichigo swung his zanpakuto down and killed the hollow.

What do you mean damn hollows? I'm a hollow, damn idiot! Hichigo yelled at Ichigo as he got back into his body.

"Stupid Hollow." Ichigo muttered as Rukia looked up at him. Shut up Hichigo. I don't want to deal with you right now.

"Hichigo again?" Rukia inquired as the two of them started to walk back towards the others.

"Yeah. He didn't like the damn hollow comment." Ichigo smirked as Rukia rolled her eyes at Ichigo's Hollow's complaint.

Tell Queen that I saw that and that I will come out and make her regret it.

You will not be coming out! I will never let you hurt her. You ever harm her at all, I will kill you personally! Ichigo screamed at his hollow. Hichigo shrank in fear at the tone of Ichigo's voice.

"Ichigo? His he still bothering you?" Rukia asked as she stopped and looked up at him.

"I'm fine. He just wanted me to tell you that he saw your eye roll and that he will come out and make you regret it. I just yelled at him that he wouldn't be coming out and that if he ever harmed you at all I would personally kill him." Ichigo watched Rukia as she sighed. Rukia wrapped her arms around Ichigo's waist and hugged him.

"Thank you, Ichigo." Rukia mumbled into his chest as he hugged her back.

"You're welcome. Let's get back to the others. I want to play volleyball against Renji." Ichigo smirked as Rukia laughed. The two of them got back to the others and Renji challenged Ichigo into a game of volleyball. Rukia and Tatsuki laughed as they watched the two fruits.

"Wow. They never will give up on being competitive with each other," Tatsuki said as she giggled at Renji as he got a mouthful of sand.

"Nope." Rukia agreed as she giggled as well. Rukia glanced over at Karin and Toushiro, seeing the two of them in the water.

"So how does sand taste, Pineapple?" Ichigo asked when he and Renji ended their little volleyball game.

"It taste nasty." Renji replied as they saw Rukia and Tatsuki dancing to the music with Chad and Uryu, Orihime watching with a jealous look on her face.

"Renji, grab Tatsuki and run towards the water. I'll grab Rukia." Ichigo smirked as Renji nodded his head in agreement.

"CHARGE!" Renji and Ichigo shouted as they ran at the two girls and grabbed them around their waists.

"AHHH!" Rukia and Tatsuki shrieked as they were hauled over the shoulders of Ichigo and Renji.

"Go!" Ichigo shouted as he ran into the water and threw Rukia in.

"DAMN YOU ICHIGO!" Rukia shouted as she came up spitting water. Ichigo smiled and went deeper pulling Rukia along. Rukia wrapped her legs around his waist as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Ichigo laughed and treaded water while Uryu and Orihime joined them along with Chad with Yuzu sitting on his shoulders. Renji and Tatsuki joined them a few minutes later.

"What's up guys?" Ichigo asked as he felt Rukia wrap her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer to him.

"Nothing really. You really want to die by Rukia's hands don't you?" Uryu asked Ichigo as he held Rukia closer.

"No, When is the fireworks going off?" Ichigo asked as Rukia rested her head on his shoulder. Orihime had left when she saw how close Rukia and Ichigo were.

"About an hour after the sunsets." Uryu replied as he started to head to shore to talk to Orihime. Renji and Tatsuki soon followed as well as Chad and Yuzu.

"Well, looks like we are alone now," Rukia said as she looked at Ichigo's face. Ichigo smiled and rested his forehead against hers.

"Yeah, want to head to shore?" Ichigo asked as Rukia smiled also and nodded her head.

"Yeah. The sun's going to set." Rukia released Ichigo and started to swim towards shore. Ichigo pulled Rukia onto his back and swam back to shore. Once they got there, Ichigo pulled out Rukia's towels and wrapped them around her. Rukia smiled her thanks as Ichigo laid one out and wrapped the other one around his shoulders. Rukia sat down on Ichigo's towel with Ichigo behind her. Rukia leaned back and rested against his chest. Ichigo wrapped his arms around her, both looking at the sky as the fireworks went up.

"Wow!" Rukia said as she watched, feeling Ichigo chuckle at her.

"Yeah." Ichigo agreed as pressed a kiss into her hair. Rukia leaned against him more and smiled as he pulled her closer.
