"Why the hell aren't you helping her" the loud scream was heard from the fourth division "We are very sorry kurosaki-kun but the captain commander clearly staed that if you were to come by with your friends, we are not suppose to help you" the Captain stated as calmly as she could.

"He's doing this because we didn't obey his orders, isn't he?" Ichigo yelled, as he looked down at the injured girl in his arms.

"Please help her she's dying...she doesn't deserve this...Please just help her" Ichigo pleaded the older woman in front of him

"I'm sorry bu-..."

"Please don't say that...Please save her" he said not caring he was killing his pride, he would do that any day for the girl.

"Kurosaki i will do the best that i can to bring her back, but i will not garrantee that she will actually open her eyes" Unohano said with a deaseated sigh.

"Thank you captain unohano" he said while bowing his head.

"Lay her down right here and we can begin her treatment as soon as possible" she said motioning to the big medical bed."HANATARO!!" she yelled as ichigo gently lay rukia in the middle of the young boy came stumbling into the room "Y-yes C-captain" he said stuttering.

"Will you please start healing Rukia-san's minor injuries, while i tend to her more serious ones"

When he looks at the bed behind his captain he is horrified at what he sees his friend, is on the bed pretty much bleeding to death on the bed which is already stained red. "What happened to Rukia-san?" he asks with worry clearly laced in his voice and painted on his face "Idon't kow Hanataro"she said, then turned around to face the three standing near the bed "What did happen to Rukia-san?" she asked

"We were fighting the septima espada, he used her body as a puppet to defeat us, she got injured by trying to free herself from her own body and us trying to save her" Ashido said as he looked at the ground.

"Captain a hell butterfly just came by" Isane said as she stepped into the room "What did it say?" Unohano asked "It says that there is an urgent captain meeting going on right now, and that the presence of Kurosaki Ichigo, Shiba Kaien, Kano Ashido are needed there" she stated

"I see, Isane please help Hanataro heal Rukia-san as best you can"

"Yes captain, is there anything else that you need?"

"No that will be it for now" her luitenant nodded in response

"Come on lets go" she said to the men standing near the girl

"Please take care of her" they said in unision before shunpoeing away.

"You guys are to stay here until the Commander calls for you" Unohano said as she started entering the huge doors that led to the captains building. As the door closed behind her, the three men were left to contemplate on what what they had done.

"Why were we called to a captains meeting" Ichigo asked.

"They probably want to talk to us, or something like that" Kaien responded

"My best bet is that these people are going to punish us" Ashido said with digust clearly in his voice

"Yeah that is probably what is going to happen to us...it doesn't matter if we get punished, we deserve it after what we did" Ichigo said in a clearly depressed voice.

"Captains" the commander said looking around "The reason i called you here was for you to help me decide the fate of three men" he explained the room from what he could tell was filled with all the captains of the Gotie 13 with the exception of the three traitors.

"May i ask what these three men did" Shinsui said while tipping his straw hat

"They stormed into Hueco Mundo, jump started this war, got inoue orihime killed, put a comatosic state, disobeyed direct orders, and severly injured Kuchiki Rukia to the point of death". Gasps were heared around all around, they had already known what had happened to kuchiki and Inoue but they could not believe that three men could actually cause so much trouble in so little time.

"Bring them in!" the commander ordered the gaurds in front of the doors. "Yes Sir! they bowed before turing and opening the doors.

More collective gasps were heard as the three men came walking in side by side, when the doors were closed everything went silent, all captains except for Unohano and The commander stared in disbelief at the three,. the silence was cut by a bewildered voice "K-Kaien how can you be alive, your suppose be dead" ukitake stated wid eyed

"Tell us when and how you came back" a very authoritive voice commanded

"Rukai was the on ewho save me, I was trapped inside the noveno espada, she fought him and won, by doing that she freed me" he said proudly at what his freind had accomplished

"And whats your excuse kano, why have you been gone so long, and what the hell happened to the others that were with you" Kenpachi asked harshly. "Forgive me captain I got stuck in the forest of Menos...as for the others they didn't make it they were all killed by the hollows that were down there". before kenpachi could say more Byaluyas stotic voice cut him off.

"Kurosaki, how could you become so weak, how could you let my little sister get ito such a horrible state" he said

there was nothing but silence in the room as they waited for ichigo to respond, when he didn't answer, the commander decided to breack the very uncomfortable silence. "Take them to my jail baracks I have already decided what there fate will be"

Once they were gone the captains are left to talk amongst themselves, "What will you do to them?" Ukitake asked with genuin concern fo rthe three that had just left the room.

"You'll find out soon, but for now you may all go to back to your squads, Your presence is not needed here anymore"

"Hai" they all said as they began to leave one by one

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hey Ashido, how come younever told us that you are actually part of Zaraki's division?" Ichigo asked solemly

"We were in the middle of of huge battle, how could i have possibly told you guys"

"You could have given us a hint at the very least you know"

"I did, I didn't leave you guys and i helped Rukia in the forest because we look out for our own, we also never leave a man/woman behind"

"Yeah but anyone with a heart would have done that you know?' kaien said

They were all currently in the 1st division jail baracks sitting on the benches cuffed to there bed posts "Damn this seriously suck...You know i wonder if they were able to wak eher up" kaien said as he stared up at the ceiling, Ichigo and AShido soon followed on his train of thought.

"WE are almost done Hanataro" Isane said as she wrapped up Rukias Torso. AS soon as they finished there Captain had appeared at the door way looking over the small girl on the huge white bed. "Captain!!" they both sqeaked out as they walked out of the room to stand in front of her "Did you already heal her wounds?" she asked the two

"Uh...we did the best that we could her major wounds just would not heal for some reason we cleaned them up and bandaged them up too" Isane said apoligetically "Let me see if i could help" Unohano said as she moved closer to the unconsiouse girl. As she applied her healig kido over the girld chest the green light was suddenly gone like it had been rapidly observed into Rukia's body.

"What was that?" she asked herself in a small voice

She was about to try again when she brought her hands to her chest again, but was startled when smaller hands came up to grab hers "Please don't it hurts..It hurts" the owner of the voice said in a barely audiable pain filled voice. Unahano looked up to find blank eyes staring at her.

"Rukia-san your awake thank-goodness"

"It hurts..." she kept saying

"Rukia-san are you o.k." the older woman asked as she looked her over to see if her subordinates had missed anything important, from what she could tell the girl was trembling, goosebumps were risimg on her skin

"It hurts so bad" she said right before her whole body began to convulse on the bed. she was trembling and convulsing her eyes were half open with tears running down her eyes from what they could tell her eyes were rolling to the back of head "Isane!!, Hanataro!!, come here now!!" she yelled in a panicked voice as the girl would not stop moving.

"CAPTAIN!!" they yelled as they entered the room in which the commotion was coming from, before they could ask what was happening there captain was already yelling commands at them "Isane hold her legs down!!, Hanataro grab her hands as best that you can!!" she half yelled at the two

"I'm going to need the both of you to help me...we have to form a protective shield around her" she said as she looked at the two struggleing to keep rukia body from moving more than it already was "Hai!" they both said as best they could

"O.k. i'm going to need you to concentrate" she said as she closed her eyes the other two doing the same. She could feel all there reaitsu moving around the girl to form the sheild all around the bed itself. when the shield was complete they opened there eyes to see that rukia was still struggling inside of it. when they put more of there energy into it, Rukia let out a blood curling scream that echoed all through the small white room.

Suddenly everything stopped her body went limp on the bed. Sickening silence was all that engulfed the room.

"Somethings very wrong" Ichigo said panicked as he stood up from where he was

"What do you mean?" kaien asked a bit worried for his newly found friend

"Somethings wrong with Rukia, i felt her reaitsu burst then plummet to a very low level" he said as he grabbed the bars

Both kaien and ashido sat there trying to feel Rukias spirit energy Ichigo was right her energy was way too low what had happened when they left they thought to themselves

"Hey when are we goign to be let out of here?" ichigo asked a random guard

"When the commander decideds that you are free to go" he responded casually

Just then the two huge doors opened revealing the commander and his subordinate right behind him "Kurosaki I have finally made a disicion regarding you and your friends"
