Jenna's head was spinning. She had all this information being thrown at her all at once and it was becoming more confusing at the second. "So…what you're saying is that I was attacked by this hollow thing and now I am carrying its child? You're also saying that all of you are um spirits or ghost or whatever?" Kisuke laughed as Jenna placed a hand over her head as she tried to put all this together. "I guess you can call us that but we prefer shinigmis if you can remember that." Jenna looked around the room then stop when Grimmjow and Ichigo enter the room. Grimmjow looked a bit pale and Ichigo looked very upset over something. Ichigo looked over and he smiled gently at her but her eyes continued to watch Grimmjow. She wasn't sure but she felt like she had that look before…when she saw the man with yellows eyes…the one who protected her. "Mr. Grimmjow…" Jenna said softly as he sat down beside her. He eyed her and they stared into each other eyes for a moment. Jenna clutched her dress as she hesitated with her words. "Y-You saw it…didn't you?" she said in a whisper. Grimmjow's eyes opened wide as the color of his face completely went pale. Jenna started to shiver as she glanced over to the kitchen window. It was open but she could feel the air getting thicker like whatever was there was making sure that she knew that it was there watching her.
"Jenna is you okay? You are looking a little pale." Jenna turns around to see Hisagi giving her a worried look. She looked down and cupped her hands together. "I-I'm fine. Sorry hearing all of this is causing my head to hurt a little." Hisagi placed a hand on her head and rubbed it. "Sorry if this is a bit hard on you but bear with it for a little while longer okay?" Jenna blinked as those words sinked in for a while. They calmed her down for a moment as Ichigo kneeled down to her. He grabbed her still shaking hands. "Jenna…" She looked up at him and was met with a short kiss. He placed his forehead on hers and whispered 'I love you' to her. She sign happily and smiled. That's right…As long as she had Ichigo by her side she will be safe.
"Okay Jenna now that all the explaining is out the way let's get to fun part of this boring meeting." Kisuke said smiling. "There is a fun part in this crap you call a meeting." Grimmjow said regaining his composer. Kisuke ignored him and looked at Jenna. He put on a gloved and smirked. "Oh Renji come over here right quick." Renji, who was leaning on the wall, started to walk towards Kisuke. 'Oh Jenna I want you to watch and focus really hard on Renji okay." Jenna nodded slowly. Just as Renji stopped in front of Kisuke he was quickly slapped in the face causing him to split from his body into his shinigami body. The slap was so hard that he hit the wall. "Ow…what was that for! I remembered to sweep the shop like you told me to so why was I hit! It was Grimmjow's turn anyway! Plus he was the one who ate all your snacks!" Grimmjow suddenly got up and angrily grabbed Renji. "WHAT! I thought we were going to keep that between us!" Grimmjow yelled as he bumped heads with Renji. Suddenly Kisuke hit Grimmjow the same way causing the same thing to happen to him. An argument started as Jenna looked at the two bodies on the floor and then the ones that were arguing with Kisuke then back down on the floor. The next thing she knew her vision was getting blurry and everything started to go black. She could hear her name being called just as she closed her eyes.
"I think we went a little too fast." Kisuke says as he rubbed his head and cheek from the punches from Ichigo. Jenna was lying down on the coach with an ice pack on her head. Her face looked as if she was having a nightmare. "Nnee…mama…papa" Ichigo signed as took the ice pack off and moved her hair to the side. "Hey Orihime you mind getting a damp rag from the bathroom. "Is it the dream again?" He nodded and she frowned and quickly went to get a rag. "Do you guys mind if we can do this another time?" Ichigo said as he picked up Jenna. There was no answer so he went to take Jenna to her room. "I'll look after her" Hisagi says as he follows behind Ichigo.
As soon as Jenna was placed in the bed Ichigo walked out to find Kisuke and Yoruichi sitting down. "Where did everyone else go and why are you two still here. I hope you don't plan on leeching off of Jenna." Kisuke chuckled. "Sorry about that. I guess I got a little too excited. I have known Jenna for a while now and it was feeling nice to let her in on our big family." Ichigo rolled his eyes and then eyed the TV. "You do know you're going to have to take that down." Yoruichi groaned. "Do you know how long we took get that up there! Besides the captain commander wanted to talk to Jenna. However, due to Kisuke excitement we can't do that." She said smirking at Kisuke. "The others, by the way, are on patrol around the area. So until we can get things back on track tell me about Jenna." Yoruichi says as she sits cross legged in a chair. Ichigo took a seat and looked at the heart shaped wrist band on his wrist.
"Well it is a little blurry but I met Jenna when she was were around four or five at the time. She was always sitting next to a tree bouncing a ball by herself. We met when the ball rolled down to me. Even then she was really beautiful. I guess I got a bit shy when I got a good look at her and kind of scared her off. When I went to apologize I think I tripped and fell on her." Ichigo smiled and rubbed the back of his head. "When we finally got a chance to speak we just kind of became friends. We would meet almost every other week. I loved the way she smiled it made me happy." He looked down at floor. "Then all of a sudden she stopped coming. I didn't see her for a long while so I figured maybe she was here visiting or something. I think it was about a week or two later when she was brought in by my dad. She was shook up and covered in blood from head to toe. My dad tried to find out what happen and thought that maybe I could since we did know each other. I didn't want to at the time so I just talked to her about normal things like her favorite food and TV shows. I got her to smile for the first time that night. It was such a relief to me. Once my dad got her cleaned up she stayed at her house for a while. During the nights she stayed with us she would always brake out into a cold sweat and the wake up screaming for her parents. She would wake up crying and clinging to anything close to her which happen to be me. Things got so bad that finally dad checked her into the regular hospital. At first it looked like she was getting better until one night…" Ichigo paused and rubbed the heart on the wrist. "Ichigo…what happen?" Yoruichi asked. "One night me and dad went to see her. She was in a cold sweat when she woke up screaming that she saw a shadow. She started screaming at the wall in front of her saying why did you do this to me and why didn't you kill me to I don't deserve to live. There was a knife next to her bed from where the nurse was slicing apples for her. She grabbed it and placed it up to her throat and…" Ichigo placed his hands in his head. "Luckily the cut wasn't deep but after that she was shipped to a different hospital for mental and stress treatment. She came back before the start of high school. She stopped by and at first I couldn't believe it was her. Her hair had gotten longer and she was actually smiling. We talked for a while went on a few lunches together. Before we had started dating she gave me a box. It was a bit worn down but when I opened it this band that I am wearing now was in it. She told me that she had made it when we were just kids and never had the chance to give it me. I called her a dummy for holding on to it for so long and she just laughed." Ichigo felt relieved but his face didn't show it. Yoruichi looked at him like she wanted to ask what he was thinking but she felt like that wouldn't have gotten them anywhere. Kisuke cleared his throat. "I guess I'll start on my part of the story now."
Kisuke took his hat off and scratched his hair before putting it back on."I met Jenna a few months back before she went to visit Ichigo. She was looking for something to help her…slept better or to help her forget. I told her that we didn't have anything like that but I after seeing her sad face I invited her in for tea. I had asked her why she wanted it she said there are something things she didn't wish to remember. I had told her that sometimes the things we wish to forget is the things we need to remember. She didn't get it but she smiled anyways and thanked me for the tea. She came over often to have tea with me and during those times she told me that she was having a dream where she would see a shadow standing over her and asked what it meant. I jokingly said maybe it was her guardian angel. She got upset and left for a few months. I guess that is where she started meeting Ichigo. I thought everything was okay since I saw her smiling and everything however; when she came back for a visit there were things that she had seen before that she didn't remember." Yoruichi narrowed her eyes at him. "What do you mean?" "Well for example she didn't remember Jinta and Ururu. She didn't remember that we had tea months before she stopped coming. I asked her if she was still having a dream about the shadow but all she said was what dream." Ichigo got up and walked to the window he sighed. "She would have the dream and when she is asked about it she says she doesn't understand what you are saying. It's only a thought but I think she buried her memories of that night among others. When she wakes up she would sometimes forget simple facts like names or places she had been the past day." Yoruichi looked at Ichigo. "I think we need to make her remember…" Ichigo quickly looked at her with anger. "I know what you are thinking but think about it. Jenna said she saw a shadow standing over her. It could be a clue to what is going on with this hollow. No matter how much we think now it is a plan fact that this is no ordinarily hollow. I know it doesn't seem like much but if what you're saying about Jenna is true and she is burying her memories she may lose a lot more than simple facts." Ichigo gripped at the window seal and his mind started to flash back to the image in the kitchen. Then color was different but he had seen those eyes before and he knew all too well who they belonged to. "I don't want to hurt Jenna…I don't want her to re-live whatever nightmare that happen to her and her family." He said trying to control the rage in his voice. "Ichigo if we don't do this now then we may lose any new information that might be helpful." Yoruichi says. "Yea and what if it doesn't! What if she has a mental break down! She has been through enough as it is!" Ichigo yelled. "I understand but if you don't let us do this then Jenna will die in the next few months that we have. Do you really want to see Jenna die?" Ichigo was silent. The choice was clear. Either have Jenna remember everything that happen that night and risk having a breakdown or Have her remember any facts that they can use. He thought about those eyes and it was true…he needed more information and Jenna's side of the story. He sighed and groaned. "Alright, if this is going to work then we need to wake Jenna now. It's best to wake her when she is still dreaming." He was going to dread doing thing but he couldn't sit her and watch her die when he could have helped her.
Jenna was woken up and taken to the living room. She was still a little dizzy so Ichigo made her some tea. He sat next to her and watched her sip it down. When it was done Ichigo grabbed her hand. Before he spoke she smiled. "So you want to hear my side of the story right? You also want to hear about the dream I had right?" Ichigo looked a bit shocked as she giggled. "I told you that I was going to tell you everything. So I'm going to do my best. I…I don't want to die not knowing what happen to me or why I was picked for this." Tears came to her eyes as she flashed a smile. "I want to be with Ichigo for as long as I can." Ichigo immediately pulled Jenna into a hug. How could he be so selfish and not considering her feelings in this. She was more willing to do this then him. "You're not going to die. I'm going to protect you no matter what. I promise." Jenna nodded her head in his chest. "Great. You see this is why I like Jenna more then you Ichigo. She is so much understanding then you are." Kisuke said laughing at Ichigo's annoyed face.
"So Jenna tell us what happen when you disappeared. Do you remember what happen?" Yoruichi asked. Jenna nodded. "Yea I was walking towards my house when my head started to hurt. I started to hear these voices. One was saying that it would protect me and another one just kept calling my name. I started to run but as I got close to my house the voices got louder. I ran passed my house and in the woods near here. I slipped and feel and blacked out a bit. When I opened my eyes there was this man standing over me. He sounded annoyed when I asked if he was Ichigo. Then I blacked out again." "Then what happen?" Ichigo asked. "Well…I woke up in a warehouse. There were always something sweet on the night stand like strawberries. I didn't eat much though." She rubbed her head. "Do you remember who brought you there?" Jenna shook her head. "No, I don't remember the name but I think I know what they look like. I only met two of them. One was really loud she had pigtail on the side of her head. Then there was…" A sharp pain quickly hit Jenna' head when she tried to remember the other person. She closed her eyes and grabbed her head. "Jenna?" Ichigo said worriedly. "When I try to remember that other person my head starts to hurt really bad. I'm sorry." She says sadly. "Whoever gave her the poison must have made to where she wouldn't remember him or her." Kisuke said mumbling to himself. "They took extreme measures so that Jenna wouldn't remember them if we ever found her."
Without warning Grimmjow walked through the walls to the shock of Jenna. "You idiot watch what you're doing!" Ichigo said glaring at Grimmjow. He rolled his eyes and flicked them off. Jenna looked at Grimmjow and she noticed the hole in his stomach. Grimmjow caught her staring and sighed. He walked up to her and glared down at her. "If you are going to do it then do it quickly. I hate it when that idiot does it." He points over to Orihime who blushed. "…but…since you did pass out I can allow it." Ichigo looked at Jenna then Grimmjow in confusion. Jenna smiled and reached her arm through his hollow hole. She giggled as she waved at Orihime. Grimmjow rolled his eyes as he pulled her arm out. "Um…that hole…" Jenna said looking down. "What about it?" Grimmjow said bending down in front of her. "Does it remind you of something?" Jenna nodded her head. "The shadow in my dream…he had one but it wasn't right there…" Ichigo rubbed his eyes and cursed at himself. He Grabbed Jenna and pointed to his chest. "Was the hole right here?" Jenna's eyes widen and she looked at Ichigo. "So you saw it to?" Ichigo was silent but he placed a hand on the back of Jenna's head and pushed it into his chest. "Ichigo?" she asked softly as she clutched the front of his shirt. She could feel Ichigo's heart speeding up and his grip tighten. She quickly pulled away afraid that he was angry at her. "There is something else…When…When I jumped out the warehouse to go find you something had me. It had me but it didn't hurt me. When I was falling it caught me twice saying that it had to protect me and it even pushed me towards the sidewalk." Ichigo had to completely ignore the fact that she jumped down from a warehouse. "Calm down Jenna. Don't force yourself okay." Ichigo said. Jenna looked down. "Something was heavy in the air…I couldn't move…" Her head started to hurt. The pain was becoming a bit overwhelming but she ignored it. If she didn't tell Ichigo this now she may never get the chance. "He said…He said…" It started flashing back to her. "He?" Ichigo said as he saw Jenna struggling. "He was going to kill me." Tears started to roll down her cheeks. "He was going to kill me and the baby. I was so scared. I didn't want to die. I didn't know what to do!" She cried out. The throbbing pain from her head was becoming too much. She knows that she will pass out soon. "Jenna its ok don't try to force it." Ichigo said grabbing her shoulder. "I saw him…the shadow." Ichigo's face went pale and so did Grimmjow's. There was silence in the house. "Kisuke got up and moved Grimmjow and Ichigo out the way. "Jenna, you have to tell us what you saw. I know it's hard and I know you are in a lot of pain but any details will be helpful to us. "He was black like the shadow in my dream. He had black hair and yellow eyes. When he looked at me I didn't see anything." Kisuke looked at her. "What you mean?" Jenna looked at him with tears in her eyes. "empty…his eyes were so empty…" Jenna wasn't feeling so good. She was feeling queasy and she know her head was going to explode at any moment. "Jenna hold on a little longer. Can you tell us anything about the man who was trying to kill you?" Jenna started to sway. Ichigo pushed Kisuke out the way before she fell. "Jenna, I told you not to push yourself." Jenna was feeling more tired than usual. She just wanted to sleep. "He…He called me his first love…" She said as she closed her eyes. Orihime eyes blinked a couple of time. Yoruichi noticed this. "Are you alright Orihime?" Orihime looked at her then back at Jenna then at Ichigo who was looking at her. "I have only heard that line one time and that is when we met Shinji at school." Ichigo looked down at Jenna and it hit him more quickly then he wanted to. "Watch Jenna." He said as he quickly got and head for the door. Before anyone could ask he was already gone and running down the street. "I swear he is so hot headed…" Yoruichi said.
Ichigo was running down the street on his way to the warehouse. "How dare he…" The more he thought about it the more his anger flared. "I'll destroy him…" Ichigo says as he grabs his combat pass.
