Ichigo's POV

Dripping water filled my ears as my body slowly began to wake up. Before I opened my eyes I ran though a quick diagnostic, I started at my lower half, I wiggled my toes, rotated my ankles, and bent my knees, Sluggish but functional. I moved onto my fingers, I wiggled them and flexed them; I rotated my wrists, bent my arms and rolled my shoulders, same result. I rolled my neck and winced as it cracked, I took a deep breath and the air felt warm and thick. I slowly opened my eyes and regretted it as the white florescent light invaded my eyes and sent my stomach rolling. I could feel bile rising in my throat and I rolled onto my hands and knees as it came up. My body heaved as I emptied my stomach; the stomach acid burnt my throat and nose. After a few more dry heaves I sat back on my knees and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. I took a few deep breaths and looked around the room. The room was medium sized, there was one window that was boarded up letting no natural light in, the walls were painted white and the floor was white tile. I slowly stood and the room span for a split second, I closed my eyes and took a breath. When I opened them I walked towards the door and tried the handle, when it didn't budge I felt annoyance at myself. Firstly for letting myself be captured, yes I may be on edge but that doesn't mean I should have let my guard down and made the mistake of not checking the house. Im a fully trained spy for fuck sake, I can kill someone ten ways with a spoon. Secondly, I knew that the door wouldn't be open, but wishful thinking helps. I pace around the room walking from corner to corner running my hands over the wall looking for a loose brick or something that I can use to pick the lock, which probably wont happen.

Because the window is boarded I cant tell weather its day or night, or how many days ive been where I am. as I pace I remember seeing a face in the mirror and my gut clenches, pain jabs in my chest at the thought of one of my friends betraying me like they did. Seeing their face in the mirror as they shoved the chloroformed covered cloth over my mouth broke my heart. I know that there must be a valid reason behind why they did what they did. A click fills the room and I spin around as the door opens and my eyes lock on those of my friends and I say,

"So, it's come to this"

The other just nods and lets the door close behind him.

Grimmjow POV.

It's been almost twenty four hours since Ichigo went missing. The house was filled with Ichigo's friends and family, including his father, Isshin. Well I say all his friends, except one, the red head, Renji. The others had tried his phone numerous times and Rukia and Sado had been to Renji's apartment and it had been ransacked, I ran a hand through my hair and let out a frustrated sigh. If I had come back sooner I could have stopped Ichigo being taken but im also pissed at Ichigo for letting himself be taken, the man I a spy, hes fluent in over fifty languages, he can build a bomb from kitchen supplies and kill someone with a paper clip and he was still taken down by one man. Yes, he maybe on edge but that's no excuse. I fished my phone out of my pocket and tried Ichi's cell again and it went straight to voice mail. The phone was almost launched at the wall, until Isshin grabbed my arm and I looked at him.

"Come with me"

I followed him and we ended up in the back garden. Isshin stood with his hands on his hips and said,

"I looked at the wounds on Yamamoto, I recognize where there from"

I looked at him confused and he said, "Like you know, when someone graduates from the academy they are able to design there own sword, each sword is unique to the person. The sword that created that wound, belonged to Renji"he takes a breath " and the only reason i know that is because Yama asked me to help the graduates with their designs and i kept all of them"

It suddenly feels hard to breathe, Renji, Ichigo's so called friend had betrayed him. I felt anger flood through my veins at an alarming rate and I spin on my heels and storm back into the house and I find Shiro and say,

"Renji's number, now"

Shiro doesn't ask questions he just gives it to me, I put in the numbers and it rings through.

Renji POV.

My fist slams into Ichigo's cheek, blood poured from the side of his mouth, his eye had begun to swell and his nose was broken. It wasn't like I allowed him to fight back of course, I knew that Ichigo could beat me in a fight so I had to play dirty. I had Ichigo chained from the ceiling by his wrists so that his toes just scraped the floor, bearing in mind that I had to lift him while he was unconscious, im quite proud of my self for that. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and I jab Ichigo in the ribs before I answer it, I see a number that I don't recognize and I answer it, putting it on speaker.

"Renji, im coming for you, you bastard"

I smile, " So you figured it out Grimmjow, im disappointed it took you long enough"

I can hear my friends in the background, how fooled they must be.

"I swear to god if hes hur-"

"you'll what, kill me. You've got to find me first Grimmjow. But I think Ichigo wants to say something to you first"

I could feel Ichigo glaring at me, I hold the phone in front of him and he mumbles out,

"Tell Shiro, Hollow, he will understand"

I look at him confused and say, "Whats hollow"

He ignores me and I ask again, same result, so I drop the phone and slam my fist into his ribs, I know that I cant kill him but Aizen said that I can have my fun. Ichigo cries out loudly as his ribs break and I hit him again asking over and over what hollow is. I can hear Grimmjow shouting but I don't pay attention and my foot slams down on the phone, breaking it and cutting off the call.

I grab Ichigo's chin and say, " I may not be allowed to kill you but I can try"

Grimmjow's POV

I hear Ichigo yelling out in pain and I shout his name, when the call is cut off I launch the phone across the room and it slams into the wall shattering into pieces. I breathe heavily through my nose and I look at Shiro,

"Ichigo said to tell you Hollow, Wha does tha mean"

Shiro looked confused for a split second before his eyes widened and he bolted up the stairs, I followed him as he slammed into Ichigo's bedroom and towards the closet, he fell to his knees and he began to pull things out of it and I stood there baffled,

"Shi, what's goin on? What's hollow" I ask.

He replies while pulling things out of the closet, "Hollow is somethin tha Ichi devised. When we graduated, King always wanted to know where I was so he came up with a plan to have a tracking device embedded into a bone in our body, makin it almost impossible for someone else to find."

"Why was it called hollow?" I asked.

"Cause to put the tracking device in, they had ta hollow out tha section of your bone for it ta fit."

Im in awe of Ichigo, his life is in danger and he remembers that he has a tracking device in his body. I let out a breath and wait for Shiro to finish what he's doing, a few minutes pass and he lets out a happy noise and holds up a black box with a large touch screen on it. Shiro flicks it on and waits for it to come to life. Two quiet beeps fill the room and Shiro stands and shows me what's on the screen,

"Look, that dot there is me, an tha otha is Ichi"

At that moment I wanted to kiss Shiro and but I refrain from doing so and I grab the tablet and bolt down the stairs, I pretty much skid to a stop and hold up the tablet,

"Shiro found a way for us ta get Ichigo back"

Ichigo POV

My body feels completely numb, Renji has gone, not that I particularly care where the lying son-of-a-bitch is, I take a deep breath, well as deep as I can without puncturing a lung. I couldn't breathe trough my nose and if I opened both eyes I could see things in double which really didn't help the nausea. I know that I should try and get out but I don't have the energy to do so, I know that ill probably die tonight or what ever time of the day it is. I have faith in my brother and the others and I know he would have understood my hint about hollow. I have no idea when Renji will be back but all I want to do is sleep, I can feel my eyes drooping but I know that I probably have a severe concussion and if I sleep I probably wont wake up so I force my eyes open. I keep my eyes locked on the door waiting for Renji to return, he left because he got a call, not on the phone that Grimmjow called on because that's now on the floor broke, but another one, when he answered he stiffened and left the room. It was probably Aizen.

When the beating first started, I asked Renji why me and he had said that Aizen knew who I was from the moment that he had set eyes on me. He also knew of my family, Aizen had worked with my father and Kisuke up until the point that he defected and when he saw me he saw my mother and my father and he became infatuated with me. Renji also said that framing me for killing Ol' man Yama was the most important part in Aizen's plan, because Aizen knew that there were people in the agency that didn't particularly like me , it wouldn't be difficult to ruin me and my reputation. I had also asked why Aizen had picked Renji and the red head just smiled and continued his beating.

Hours seemed to have passed by the time the door opened, Renji walked in and said,

"There's someone who wants to see you"

Renji stepped to the side and Aizen walked in. My heart sped up in my chest as the brunette walked forward and said,

"Your probably wondering how I got out and what im doing here, all will be explained to you soon, my pet"

I cringed at the name and I felt Aizen's cold fingers run down my uninjured cheek. Aizen turned to Renji and said,

"Leave us"

Renji just nodded and Renji left. I felt something cold settle in my stomach as the door closed and a smile passed over Aizen's lips.

soooo, the cats finally out of the bag... it was RENJI all along. how many of you worked that out, please let me know. and another plot twist... How did Aizen escape? allwill be told soon. i hope that you all liked this chapter and thankyou to everyone who followed, favorited and reviewed it means everything to me so thankyou. if anything didnt make sense in this chapter i apologise and i hope that this writers block goes away soon so that it doesnt take as long to get another chapter out to you, but if it does i apologise in advance. anyways i hope that you all are having an awesome day/evening/night where ever you are.
