Her captain finally makes his appearance! Only for like 5 sentences.. Haha...

Ichigo walked into his classroom. His eyes searched the room for someone.

"Is Meikyuu late or absent?" Ichigo muttered to himself. He walked over to her desk and stared at it, recalling what had happened yesterday.

Orihime and Tatsuki looked at him questionably from their seats.

--

The school day had ended and Ichigo hadn't seen Meikyuu, she hadn't even sent him a message. She usually texted for him to bring her homework if she was absent… But this time, there was nothing. He was starting to get concerned. Ichigo started making up different conclusions of what was wrong on the way to her house.

He knocked on her door. No response. Was she sleeping? Knocking, he again, received no response. He searched his school bag for something.

"I always wondered why she made me keep this…," He muttered as he unlocked her door. The two had been close friends and Meikyuu, being as clumsy as she was, forgot her key a lot. Stepping inside he looked around and shouted: "Hey, Meikyuu!"

He frowned as his shout was met with silence. Walking over to her room, he opened the door, to find it empty. He was now getting worried. He stepped inside and his eyes scanned the room. He spotted an open notebook on her work table with writing on it. Crouching down, he read it. His eyes widened as he read on. Ichigo's hand clenched into a fist.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" He cried out loud after reading. He ran and looked all over her house for her as if she were playing a prank on him. He soon grew desperate as he grabbed her notebook and ran out of the house. Searching where ever he could, he ran out to places she could be in. With no luck, he called the others to see if they had seen or heard anything from her. They decided to meet up at Ichigo's house.

"Where the hell could she be?!" Ichigo growled. Orihime looked at him concerned.

"I haven't seen her since yesterday," Rukia said, deep in thought.

"Could it possibly be, she's just not home, and maybe she went on a trip?" Uryuu suggested. Ichigo shook his head.

"This writing is very confusing…," Sado said, looking over the letter. "A path? Sorrow? Grief? Hysteria? What was she talking about?"

"To protect…?" Orihime asked, as she was looking over it as well. "No longer in our reach…?"

Suddenly, a gate appeared in his room. Out, stepped Byakuya, Renji, Shiki, Toushiro and Rangiku.

"Onii-sama," Rukia said. She looked over at Ichigo. "He's her captain, maybe he knows something."

"What the hell did you mean, she was missing?!" Shiki asked. Rukia gestured towards the notebook. Reading its contents, the soul reapers looked at each other.

"I heard nothing from her," Byakuya stated.

"Scar from the past that still remains… Must be talking about her being an outcast because of her ability," Shiki suggested.

"Ability?" Orihime, Uryuu, Ichigo, Rukia and Sado asked.

"You guys never knew?" He asked. They shook their heads. "She has the ability to command hollows."

Ichigo froze. Could she have meant something by that when she was talking to him about vizards?

Hey King! Hichigo shouted.

What?

I don't think you've noticed, but that girl is also one of us! How else could she be able to command them with just being a soul reaper?

What! I never knew… That means, she could tell I was one, because she was one herself?!

"We will report this to the society, for the time being, keep on guard," Toushiro said, leaving through a gate, with the others following.

Meikyuu… Where the heck could you be?

Yeah.
