"What do you mean he refused!" Renji shouted in anger at the Captain.

"He will not budge on the issue of Shuhei, Shuhei is still sentenced to death." Sajin said.

"Damn it, now what do we do?" Renji asked.

"I don't know. I heard that we do have a few people from the land of the living on our side." Sajin said.

"So Ichigo is siding with us, that's good." Renji said.

"Actually, it was Orihime Inoue and Chad. They said they haven't heard anything from Ichigo or Uryu." Izuru said.

"WHAT!" Renji shouted. 'Nothing against Orihime or Chad, but Ichigo is a whole lot stronger and Uryu got the brains that we need to get through this! Where could they be?' Renji thought in frustration. He punched the nearby wall.

"To make matters even worse, Rukia Kuchiki and Nanao Ise both received a mysterious visitor today, when the visitors left, both girls disappeared." Sajin said.

"Rukia's gone!" shouted Renji in frustration. "How can she disappear in a time like this!" he yelled. No one responded.

Kisuke Urahara came to his shop, Rukia and Nanao behind him. Rukia had short black hair and vilot eyes. She was short and pretty. Nanao was tall with long black hair in a bun and blue eye's behind oval glasses. She was also very pretty. "Here we are! I brought a few people that you'd like to see downstairs. No one will find us there, yet!" Kisuke said with a smile. The young women followed him in to meet with Ichigo and Uryu inside. "You two should come along too." Kisuke said with a smile, taking them down to his training room. All four stood frozen, seeing the eight vizoreds.

"Shinji!" shouted Ichigo in greeting, then he saw the very last person he ever expected to see! "Shuhei Hisagi!" he shouted. Shuhei looked over from his solitary spot where he was sitting on a rock away from everyone.

"What are you doing here Lieutenant Hisagi?" asked Rukia.

"I can ask the same of you Kuchiki, same with Ise." said Shuhei. Kensei looked over at him with a stirn look. Shuehi got the hint to be quiet, so he shut him mouth.

"Is that you Nanao? You've gotten so big!" Lisa said with a small smile. Nanao gave one of her own.

"I…It's great to see you again Lisa. W…when we were told you were in trouble we came to help!" Nanao said.

"By the way Ichigo, who are the two with you?" Shinji asked.

"Oh, you mean Uryu and Rukia? They're my friends. Uryu Ishida is a Quincy and Rukia Kuchiki is a soul reaper from squad thirteen." said Ichigo.

"A Quincy huh? I thought they were wiped out two hundred years ago. Interesting. And as for Rukia, that is Ukitake's division correct?" Shinji asked. Rukia nodded.

"Anyway, why is Shuhei here?" asked Ichigo. Everyone turned to Shuhei, who was once again staring off into space.

"He's here because I said he was going to stay!" Kensei said. Ichigo frowned. 'Shuhei isn't one to disobey orders. I wonder why he is now?' Ichigo thought. Then Shuhei stood up, walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" asked Ichigo.

"He's going to get dinner, it's his turn." Lisa said with a small smile. Kensei walked over to Shuhei.

"I'm coming to." he said. Shuhei nodded and they walked up to the shop. Him and Kensei went outside. "You're friends seemed surprised to see you." said Kensei. Shuhei nodded. "The attitude was un-needed." Kensei added with a growl. Shuhei knew he was in trouble.

"I know, it's just…" Shuhei started.

"Listen Shuhei, we're all in this together. We have to trust each other and try and work together." Kensei said. Shuhei nodded. "Good, so when we get back, you can apologize to the others." Kensei said.

"Why was Nanao there?" asked Shuhei.

"Little Ise? Lisa used to read to her all the time, they ended up forming a sister relationship. Nanao couldn't go against her just like you couldn't go against me." said Kensei. Shuhei nodded. It was also no secret that Ichigo was one of the vizoreds and that Uryu was a Quincy, there for liable to go against the Soul Society when he felt like it. Now that he thought about it, not a single one of them was a surprise.

"So, what's Shuhei doing here!" shouted Ichigo after they left.

"Shuhei? Oh, the kid. Apparently Kensei saved his life a hundred years ago and he's here to repay him." said Shinji. Ichigo nodded in understanding.

"So what's the plan?" asked Ichigo. No one answered him.

"We don't have one yet." said Hachi after a pause.

"Well, at least Uryu's here, he can help you come up with an idea!" Ichigo said. Uryu looked at him in surprise. That was probably the first complement he got in a while, especially from Ichigo. No one said anything for a while, then Shuhei and Kensei returned with dinner. Kensei turned to Shuhei and glared at him.

"Ichigo, Uryu, Nanao, Rukia…I'm sorry." Shuhei said. They all looked surprised by what he said. Then they all nodded, accepting his apology. After that, they all sat quietly eating dinner.

"What do you mean Rukia has disappeared?" Byakuya asked in a slightly angry tone to Renji. Renji sweat dropped as he was about to face his Captains wrath.

"I…I really don't know. All I know is that Rukia disappeared along with Lieutenant Nanao Ise of squad eight." said Renji. Byakuya took a deep breath.

"I see. Rukia and Ise have disappeared, Ichigo and Uryu are both missing, and Hisagi has betrayed us. I'm curious if the others are with the vizoreds as well as Hisagi." Byakuya said.

"WHAT! NO WAY! ICHIGO, URYU, AND RUKIA WOULD NEVER BETRAY US!" shouted Renji, losing his temper.

"We thought the same thing about Hisagi." said Byakuya. Renji went to fight on that again, but kept quiet. There was nothing he could say! Then a man came in, one of the members of squad two.

"Head Captain Yamamoto has ordered for all Captains, lieutenants, and high ranked fighters to go to the land of the living to engage the enemy!" the man said.

Well there's the fourth chapter, sorry it took so long. I'm so excited that school is starting up, and forgot about my story for a few days, than I wanted to finish my other stories. I hope you liked this one, and thanks for reading! Tell me what you think!
