That night, Rukia and Ichigo are together. When suddenly, they feel a very strong spiritual pressure. They get dressed, and Rukia jumps into Ichigo's closet, and takes the soul candy.

Rukia=Chappy
Ichigo=Kon.

And jump out the window.

A few minutes/half an hour passes. Rukia and Ichigo just get to the place where the spiritual pressure is coming from. When they look around, they spot smoke coming out of a hole in the ground.

"Come on, Ichigo." Rukia says in a determined voice. Ichigo nods, and the two of them walk towards the smoke, where they hear talking.

"Oh, come on, Ulquiorra! Can't you get a better landing than this one! Do you want to let every soul reaper know where we are?" One of the voices say, sounding annoyed.

"You mean if your spiritual pressure doesn't do that for us?" A male voice says.

"My spiritual pressure is locked. None of it is coming out. It's yours that would lead them to us!" A female voice says.

"Yeah, I really believe that. Considering I can feel your spiritual pressure, and I assure you that it is most definitely not locked away." The male voice says in a sarcastic sounding voice.

"I can't lock all of it! I'd die if I did!" The female voice says in a annoyed sounding voice.

"I'm so sure of that." The male voice says.

"There isn't enough of it coming out for any soul reapers to realize it over their own spiritual pressure. The only reason you can feel it is because you and I are so close to each other." The female voice says.

"Hm..." The male voice says in an interested sounding voice.

Meanwhile, Ulquiorra turns around to face something.

"What is it?" Kanashii asks, getting into a defensive position, her hand on her blade.

"We're not alone." Ulquiorra says, glancing around. Kanashii takes a step forward, so she's right next to him.

"Is it humans?" Kanashii asks.

"No. It's soul reapers...although..." Ulquiorra mutters the last word in a thoughtful voice.

"Although what?" Kanashii asks, sounding confused.

"One isn't a complete soul reaper...there's something different about him." Ulquiorra says.

*Must be Rukia's human pet.* Kanashii mentally mutters. She leans closer to Ulquiorra.

"What do you want to do about them? I could always go out and kill him...them..." Kanashii whispers, only to get a pissed off look from Ulquiorra. She raises her hands in surrender. "Fine, fine. So, what do you want to do?" She asks, looking directly at Ulquiorra.

"One's the girl you were sent to collect, and the other one's the one that I was supposed to kill." Ulquiorra says, looking out at where they are standing through the dirt and dust.

"And what is it that we're going to do?" Kanashii asks, still trying to get an answer from him.

"Capture them both." Ulquiorra says in a confident sounding voice.

"But...I thought the other one was supposed to be killed." Kanashii says, confused.

"We'll deal with that later. Are you ready?" Ulquiorra asks, looking back at Kanashii. She nods her head, and grabs the hilt of her sword as she waits for the smoke to clear the rest of the way. When it does, she sees Rukia's face become a mask of shock at what she sees.

"What's wrong, Kuchiki?" Kanashii asks with a smirk.

"When did you...I mean...how?" Rukia stutters, staring at Kanashii's face, wide eyed.

"Oh, you mean this?" Kanashii asks as she points to the broken hollows mask covering part of her face. "A long time ago. You mean you haven't noticed it? Cuz I'm 100% sure your brother did." Kanashii says with a shrug.

"How could you betray your noble clan by becoming the one thing that all soul reapers kill!" Rukia shouts, glaring at Kanashii with hate filled eyes.

"I am not a HALLOW! I am an Arrancar!" Kanashii shouts, glaring back at her.

"They're the same thing!" Rukia shouts. Kanashii bursts out laughing.

"Hate to tell you this, but they aren't the same." Kanashii says.

"What's the difference?" Rukia questions. Kanashii's hand tightens on her Zanpokuto.

"You want to see the difference!" Kanashii shouts, preparing to pull her sword out of it's sheathe.

"Calm down, Kanashii." Ulquiorra says, laying a hand on her shoulder.

"Give me five minutes. That's all I need." Kanashii says, not looking away from Rukia.

"That's all I'm going to give you." Ulquiorra says, removing his hand from Kanashii's shoulder. She nods as she runs at Rukia, drawing her blade as she goes, and jumps at Rukia.

"I suggest." Kanashii says as Rukia dodges her blade, it nearly cutting her. "That you draw your sword!" Kanashii yells, running at her again.

"I don't need my Zanpokuto to beat you!" Rukia shouts as she jumps into the air. "Bakudou 99!" She shouts. To her horror, Kanashii merely wipes the spell aside with a flick of her hand, and smiles.

"You honestly thought that would work! You should know me better!" Kanashii shouts. She slices with her sword again. This time, she cuts Rukia's shoulder. Rukia hisses in pain as she falls to her knees. Kanashii lands right in front of her, and puts her sword to Rukia's neck. "Is this really how strong the great Rukia Kuchiki is? Is this really the farthest you go?" Kanashii questions in a mocking voice.
