Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. Tite Kubo does.

Rukia woke up just as the first rays of sunlight came in through her window. She looked around, and then over at Ichigo. He was sound asleep, still with an arm around her waist. She smiled, and layed her head against him. She felt him stir, and she looked up at him.

"Morning" She said hugging him. He didn't reply right away but returned her hug.

"Morning, Shorty." He mumbled. Normally that would have made her angry, except she was to happy to be angry at anyone. all of a sudden she started laughing.

Ichigo looked at her curiously. "What is it?"

"If Captain Hitsugaya were here he'd be chasing you around trying to kill you!" Ichigo got the joke and started laughing to. He pulled away from Rukia and looked around.

"What is it, Ichigo?" Rukia asked. Ichigo turned to her-pulling her to her feet, and holding her close to him. A minute later Renji, Byakuya, Toshiro, and Matsumoto came running into the room, followed closely by Yoriouchi in cat form. Yoriouchi looked at Ichigo, and smirked.

"You sensed his spiritual pressure, huh? I guess there's no need for us to explain the urgency of this situation, then. Lets go!" She said and turned to leave, Ichigo and everyone else leaving with her. Rukia was dragged along with Ichigo.

"What's wrong?! Where are we going!?" Rukia demanded, "Somebody tell me whats going on!!"

Ichigo looked at her for a moment, "Grimmjow's in the soul society. He's got Orihime." And that was enough to send Rukia into tears.

Ichigo pulled her into a hug, and continued walking.

"we'll save Orihime ,Rukia, don't worry,"

Rukia looked up at him, and he smiled back.

"I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you, I'll fix this. I swear." She nodded.

Yoriouchi looked back at the train of Soul Reapers following her. "do you sense that?" She asked. Everyone paused for a minute and focused in on the faint trace of spiritual pressure.

"It's at the Sukioku." Toshiro said looking at Rukia. Rukia shuddered. She hadn't even dared to go near the place, since her almost execution.

Renji layed a hand on her shoulder, and she looked up at everyone.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." He said.

"Your not going to be executed, and with our team...There's no chance that any arrancar will be able to get within two hundred feet of you!" Matsumoto finished for her Captain.

Rukia smiled encouraged, and nodded. "Lets go!!"

The small army moved quickly to the Sukioku, but when they reached it there was no one there.

"I could have sworn that there was someone here, but..."Yoriouchi looked confused.

"Heh...Long time no see, Shinigami!"

Ichigo and Rukia turned to see a familiar and frightening face. On top of the Sukioku, crouched down, with one hand on his knee, blueish hair blowing in the wind, an ever present smirk on the mask that covered the right side of his face, was Ichigo's eternal enemy.

"Grimmjow" Ichigo spat.

The arrancar laughed, and jumped down. Landing ten feet away from the soul reapers, he stood with his hands on his hips. "Don't I even get a 'Hi, Grimmjow?' Or a 'good to see you?'" Grimmjow asked, acting upset. Ichigo glared at him, and stepped in front of Rukia.

Arrancar #6, laughed. "You are so dumb. I didn't come for her. I can take her whenever I want. I came to fight you, again, Shinigami!" Ichigo was getting pissed now.

"For the last time, Grimmjow, My name is Ichigo! Ichigo Kurosaki!" He shouted. Rukia looked at him, and tried to hide her smile.

Her boyfriend was funny when he was angry.

"Where's Orihime!!" Ichigo shouted at the Arrancar. Grimmjow smirked.

"Now is that anyway to greet an old friend?"

"I said Where is she!!"

Grimmjow sighed, and chuckled. "She's fine. Orihime is like family to Lord Aizen. We wouldn't harm a hair on her head."

He looked past Ichigo, past all of the other soul reapers, to look at Rukia, who was ready to draw her zanpak-to at a moments notice, as was everyone else.

(except Ichigo, he drew his as soon as he spotted Grimmjow)

"Soon you'll be Aizen's family, too. Be a good girl and stay out of this fight?!" Grimmjow said smirking more.

Ichigo growled."Don't talk to her Grimmjow! She's never joining Aizen!" He said charging at the arrancar. Grimmjow dodged, and kicked Ichigo in the gut. Ichigo buckled over, and swung again. Grimmjow caught the blade between his figers, and grinned at Ichigo.

"Oh, don't worry, Soul Reaper. Whether you like it or not, she'll eventually join lord Aizen. She'll go to him of her own free will, and you'll lose her forever," He laughed, "So don't bother confessing your love for her anymore."

He punched Ichigo in the face, sending him flying backwards into Rukia's arms. Rukia looked up from Ichigo's unconsious form, up to Grimmjow, who smiled wider.

"Too bad. I'd hoped he'd gotten stronger. Ta-ta Rukia!" He said turning to leave, "See you soon." and he was gone.

Rukia just sat there looking down at Ichigo, while everyone else was planning there next strategy. One thought kept running through her head.

"go to Aizen and this can all end,"

So what do you think?? I've been bored lately, and this story has grown a mind of it's own so, yeah. Please review. The less reviews I get the more interest is lost in this story. :)
