Hatsune: Hiya Guys me again! Sorry for the late update a thousand apologies! But I'm planning a few other stories and trying to get them typed up as well!

Gin-chan (From Gintama): Yep, that's right and I'll be crossing over in one won't I?

Hatsune: Yep!

Sadaharu: WOOF! *Bites Hatsune's head*

Hatsune: I feel light-headed all of a sudden

Kagura: Can I do the disclaimer, PLEASE!

Hatsune: S-sure

Kagura, Shinpachi and Zura: The authoress does not own Bleach or Gintama!

Ulquiorra's face remained stoic and emotionless as he lay sprawled on the floor, unconscious...

In Ulquiorra's inner world

Black. Dark. Endless. These three words described his inner world perfectly. Stretching as far as the eye could see was a smooth transparent floor made entirely of reiatsu and the feeling of being drowned was imminent. He sat still staring at nothing in particular. He closed his eyes wistfully and began to think.

"It seems that I cannot wake up...How ludicrous...Me the quatro espada to be defeated so easily" he uncharacteristically sighed.

"It reminds me of those petty humans..."

Human.

The word caused memories of last night to flood back to him. He remembered his findings. It seemed the inhabitants had been chased out and killed off by some sort of creature. At first he suspected it to be a lowly Gillian-class hollow that had killed them but something wasn't quite right. The towns people had described the beast, albeit crudely but with some level of accuracy, there seemed to be no mention of a mask in any of the reports and diary entries he had uncovered. He remembered the night...

Flashback start

Ulquiorra picked up one of the dusty pieces of paper that had been placed inside the drawer of the bookstore cash desk. He analyzed it and read it carefully looking for clues.

It has happened again it was the dreaded creature but this time I saw it. The creature had blood-shot, red eyes with a black sclera and that his body resembled that of a grim reaper, the wicked and dreaded bringer of death. He carries around with him a ragdoll used for his voodoo and with a single hand he wields an immense blood-stained scythe. The unusual thing about him is the chain that is wrapped around his torso and a single arm. We must run but the people have turned on us, it must be his controlling voodoo powers. He seems to be able to control us using his doll and he can manipulate our very minds. The victims seem to encounter a short period of paralysis before they are taken over. The priests have said the only way to free our town of this wicked curse is to kill the creature with a purifying blade. We must act quickly...

He neatly folded it and placed it in his pocket as he strolled outside wearily and trudged back towards the camp.

Flashback end

The note, it's in my pocket. All I have to do is tell them somehow... but how? Ulquiorra's mind raced as he set it into overdrive. How? His arm twitched slightly as a reiatsu danced along it. That's when it hit him. If he could use his reiatsu to jump start his muscles he could briefly move. Only for a few seconds though and it would take up his remaining reiatsu. It was worth a try. He sat silently as he funnelled his reiatsu through his veins. He felt a sharp pain like being electrocuted, but he chose to ignore it. His arm twitched again and he lifted his fingers slightly. Another sharp pain, this time it dug deep into his skin like a stabbing knife. He felt around his pocket until he felt the crisp note. He tugged on it and it slid out of his pocket onto the floor below. Another pain but this time Ulquiorra flinched as his arm dropped to the ground, he had exhausted his reiatsu. Now all he had to do was wait for someone to notice the note in his hand.

.:BLEACH:.

Toshiro strolled into the room the espada was resting in. Orihime had sent him to check on the espada; reluctantly he agreed to do so. He looked at the espada with steely eyes. It was odd being next to the espada, he felt tense and stiff. It was his instinct to draw his sword and attack the espada but he refrained from doing so. He sat there staring at him uncomfortably. It was then he had noticed that the espada had something clenched in his right fist. He gently opened up his pale fist to reveal a piece of paper that had browned slightly. He began to read it and shunpoed outside to gather the rest of the group.

.:BLEACH:.

. . .

An awkward silence filled the air as the group thought about the contents of the letter. Was there really something out there? It didn't seem plausible or sensible for that matter. Ichigo stood up.

"I say we go look for this thing" he said "If we can get rid of this thing, Ulquiorra'll be fine and we can get outta her faster as well!" his trademark scowl adorned his face. Everyone pondered on the thought, sure he was their sworn enemy but he was also a valuable asset to the alliance. Maybe he was the key out of this place.

"I agree!" Toshiro turned to look at Orihime.

"Hmmn" This time it was Grimmjow

"Okay!" Kuchiki.

"Let's do it!" Rangiku.

Guess that leaves me…

"Fine, we'll look for that thing but we'll have to work together got it?"

The group nodded in unison except for Grimmjow and Ichigo who both merely grunted. Now, it would really begin. Their quest.
