"Kanashii, times up. Stop playing, and come on." Ulquiorra says. Ichigo looks at Kanashii with wide eyes.
"P...Playing!" Ichigo questions, looking from Kanashii to Ulquiorra.
"Yes, playing, Ichigo. Kanashii is strong enough to defeat my brother, and that was when she was still just a soul reaper like the rest of us. Now that she's a Arrancar...she could probably kill everyone in the Soul Society if she wanted." Rukia says, standing up to look at Kanashii, who's grinning.
"You haven't seen any of my power." Kanashii says in a menacing voice. Rukia's eyes widen.
"Do you mean..." Rukia says, unable to complete the rest of the sentence.
"Kanashii has achieved Bankai. In 24 hours, she mastered her Bankai, and all the attacks that come with it." Ulquiorra says with a indifferent look on his face.
"Impossible! It took me a week to just achieve Bankai. Not thinking about mastering the attacks!" Ichigo says, not believing what Ulquiorra had said. Kanashii looks at him with a confident grin.
"Oh, but it's possible. With the right master to teach you, you can learn anything." Kanashii says with a shrug.
"Who taught you?" Rukia asks, looking up at Kanashii.
"Ulquiorra and...Gin." Kanashii says, looking away as she says the last name.
"Ichimaru taught you!" Rukia shouts, looking at Kanashii with wide eyes.
"Yeah." Kanashii says with a sigh. She grabs the back of Rukia's Shihakushou, and lifts her over her shoulder. "Well...I suppose." Kanashii says.
"Here." Ulquiorra says as he extends his arm, and takes Rukia from Kanashii. Kanashii throws some kind of powder in Ichigo's face, and he passes out. She grabs him, and drags him forward. The four of them then go through a black hole, and disappear.
Meanwhile, Kayame's walking with Byakuya. When suddenly, Renji appears in front of them.
"What's wrong, Renji?" Byakuya asks, looking at his Vice Captain.
"Sorry to bother you, Captain, but we have an emergency!" Renji says, looking at Byakuya with serious eyes.
"What is it?" Byakuya questions, taking a step forward.
"We just got word that two Arrancars just abducted Rukia and Ichigo Kurosaki." Renji says with worry filled eyes.
"What!" Kayame shouts, standing there, completely stunned.
"There's one more thing, Captain." Renji says.
"What is it? How the hell can things possibly get any worse?" Byakuya questions, steaming.
"They know the identity of one of the Arrancars." Renji says, looking at the ground.
"Who?" Byakuya questions.
"My sister." Renji says, taking deep breaths.
"I thought something like this might happen." Byakuya says with a sigh as he calms down a small bit.
"You...you did?" Renji questions, completely surprised.
"Yeah..." Byakuya sighs again.
"Wait! If Kanashii was there, then that means she's a-" Kayame says as she begins to put the pieces together.
"Yes. Kanashii has become an Arrancar." Byakuya says, looking at Kayame with serious eyes. Kayame puts her hand on her mouth.
"It can't be! How could my best friend become something so terrible?" Kayame questions, eyes wide.
"She didn't become one by choice. Aizen just pushed, and pushed her until she couldn't stand it anymore. That's what happens when you're tortured as long as she has been." Byakuya says in a sympathetic voice.
"Can she become a Soul Reaper again?" Kayame asks in a desperate voice.
"I'm afraid not. You can't go backwards when it comes to something like this. It's just not possible." Byakuya says, looking at Kayame with sorry eyes.
"So we have no choice? We have to kill her?" Kayame asks, close to tears.
"Normally...yes, but we need information on what's going on. So, in this circumstance, we need to bring her in." Byakuya says in a serious voice.
"So what are your orders?" Renji questions, looking at his Captain expectantly.
"Tell Captain Hitsugaya that the orders are to bring her in by any means necessary. As long as she's alive." Renji says, and dismisses Renji.
"Yes, Captain!" Renji says, and with that, he goes back to Earth.
"So what are we going to do?" Kayame asks, looking at Byakuya.
"Pretty much just talk to her, and find out what's going on." Byakuya says.
"So we're not going to kill her?" Kayame says, a little hope leaking into her voice.
"Not unless it comes down to nothing else." Byakuya says with a shrug. Kayame smiles as she looks at Byakuya.
"That's good to know!" Kayame says, sounding happy.
Meanwhile, Kanashii and Ulquiorra walk out of the dark hole that they had disappeared in, and walk forward so that they're standing in front of none other than Aizen.
"Team one, reporting in." Ulquiorra says, bowing to Aizen.
"So, how did it go?" Aizen asks, looking at first Rukia, then Ichigo.
"We captured the Soul Reaper, and the human brat." Ulquiorra says.
"Really!" Aizen says, sitting up in his seat to get a better look.
