His very posture told them not to withhold anything and honestly Uryu did not plan to keep anything from him. But he had had the sneaking suspicions that Ichigo might have in fact been the one to take Orihime. With the manner in which Ichigo had directed his question it left the Quincy rethinking about what may be the real case.
"We're here… to…. Save Orihime" came the wheezing voice over to the side of Zakabe. He looked down at the form of an orange haired woman who was hunched over in her seated position. She was breathing heavily and Zakabe could see the wound that she had sustained, without any medical attention, the woman was going to struggle to survive.
Ichigo's attention was diverted to the struggling woman and his eyes softened slightly but still held much anger at not being told the actual reason for their presence. "Then why are you here?" Ichigo asked her quite simply as he turned to look at her, his vision passed over the form of Zakabe and he could see the look that Zakabe had, it was worry, not for the woman but for Ichigo. Of course he knew who the woman was and did not see Ichigo taking this very well, he was hollow by nature, he was just very good at supressing the urges.
"We thought that Orihime would be here, whether of her own accord or not, was sceptical to us" Uryu answered Ichigo's question directly. He did not wish for misunderstandings, nor did he want things being revealed later on down the line that would directly affect things, just get the ugly stuff out the way quickly. Ichigo's reaction was to turn to the bespectacled man with a look that was halfway between annoyance and gratitude. Thought the annoyance seemed somewhat greater.
"I will tell you this once, and I shall not repeat myself, Orihime Inoue is not on any part of the land of Hueco Mundo" Ichigo answered as he opened his arms out into a wide arc, trying to physically show to them all that she was nowhere near them. Uryu was still slightly sceptical but did not voice such opinions; he would tell Ichigo the truth but not his opinions.
"Then where … do you suppose… she is?" Matsumoto struggled out as she forced her own body against its will and stood up on her two feet again. Zakabe looked at the woman in slight surprise, compared to some of the people within their current area, her spiritual pressure was not too strong, but to force her body to the point of standing again after such a wound had been landed on her body was impressive.
"I do not know where Orihime may reside, try your soul society, they may have taken her as they did with Rukia" Ichigo said with a surprisingly large and potent voice. Even Zakabe was surprised by the amount of venom held by those words, he hadn't heard Ichigo talking like that before, he was almost acting like he did not care about the woman any longer.
His thoughts were smashed however with Ichigo's next sentence. "However, you better hope that soul society does not have Orihime, I fought them off to save Rukia, I will destroy the dimension to save Orihime" Ichigo said in his usual confident and determined tone. Rukia felt that she had almost been second placed. Actually she technically had, he had said he saved her yes, but he admitted he would do so much more for Orihime.
"Zakabe!" Ichigo called as he turned around and prepared to leave the immediate area. Zakabe turned his head to the direction that Ichigo had shouted from.
"Yes?" Zakabe asked quickly.
"We shall return to Las Noches" Ichigo answered as he began to walk away, Uryu couldn't believe what he was seeing, there was no way that Ichigo was going to walk away after saying something like that, Ichigo would never do that.
"Kurosaki! You can't seriously be thinking of deserting Orihime in a time like this!" Uryu yelled across the desert towards the form of Ichigo which twitched when it heard those words in its ears. Ichigo turned back slowly so that only his left eye could be seen as he turned and Uryu was shown the full glare of Ichigo's golden eyes in all their evil glory.
"Uryu, I have the qualities of a hollow, a Zanpaktou and a dimensional shattering orb, for me to be a creature of selfishness and hatred is not a hard thing to believe" Ichigo began as his voice seemed to bring on an echoing effect usually brought about when his mask was on. "I was a hollow for over a year, and things like that change your perception of life and of bonds, with the way that Orihime acted when she knew the truth of my existence it hurt. It was only more hurtful due to the fact that she had been so close to me the night before and said that she loved me" Ichigo finished as his voice became venomous near the end of his speech.
"Are you saying that the Kurosaki you were around all of us was nothing but a front, right now you are not even Kurosaki Ichigo, you are but a collection of souls that has taken his form" Uryu asked with his own voice fringing upon venomous also, he did not like the idea of being fooled by a hollow, it stamped on his pride. He was momentarily taken out of his usual comfort zone when a strong hand was applying a huge amount of force on his throat.
"Do not mistake me Quincy! I am Kurosaki Ichigo, I am the same man you once knew, I have just seen the ugly side of death and do not enjoy being questioned" Ichigo answered back his voice biting at them all like an icy dagger. Ichigo released his grip on Uryu and turned his back upon the startled man.
"Zakabe, prepare all battle ready Arrancar, we leave for Soul Society" Ichigo said as he walked away, those words tore a hole in every one of the group that had come along, how could he talk so casually about doing something like that? It was beyond absurd it was downright scary.
"You can't be serious Ichigo!" Rukia cried from where she was left kneeling on the ground, the second her voice called out his head snapped to her direction and she was under that malign eyes of Ichigo, those hate filled eyes that told of his pain, of his hatred, his rage. All of that was directed upon her.
"I can be serious Kuchiki-san, I turned that place upside down to save you, I will do so much worse if I find that Orihime was kidnapped by them" Ichigo answered in his icy cold voice. His spiritual pressure was beginning to spin around him and blow up wind causing the sand around him to rise off the ground and surround him. "No matter what any of you can say or do, I will go to Soul Society and I shall find Orihime" Ichigo said in a very authorative voice that Zakabe nodded his head to, of course he knew Ichigo was talking the truth on this. When he used that voice it tended to mean that Ichigo was determined. With that Zakabe turned and vanished from view, to get all battle ready Arrancar.
"No!" screamed Rukia and Matsumoto the second Zakabe had left them. Ichigo simply looked at them, why were they here? Of course they would think he had done it, he was being persecuted because of his very nature… how nice. As much as he really wished to get rid of them before they became a pest there were two things that stopped him, both of them being men that he cared about and would do all in his power to help out.
Ichigo hated what he was about to do, but he felt it was the only thing he could possibly do that would show he was even capable of any shred of compassion. He raised his right hand and opened his palm in the direction of all four of the intruders within his lands. In the centre of his palm spiritual pressure began to form into a sphere of malign red.
All who were conscious enough gasped in fright, Ichigo was going to end them with a cero! Without any sign of emotion or any indication of unleashing the orb of power the beam shot towards all of the intruders. Most raised their arms in defence against the murderous beam shooting towards them.
What none of them had anticipated was that when the beam touched Uryu who was first on the path of the attack, the beam then separated and completely surrounded them until it reached the form of Matsumoto who was the last in the haphazard line of all of them. When it closed together and became one again. The energy then moved over the top of their heads and connected above them creating a glowing dome of red all around them, when they again looked to the direction they knew Ichigo to be they noticed that the red colour disappeared and the dome became transparent.
Walking towards them all was Ichigo with his same hand outstretched his face looked void of all emotion as he made his way over. Uryu was not about to let himself be killed quite so easily and as such he reignited his spiritual bow and unleashed a volley in Ichigo's direction. The arrows were duds against the walls of the dome however as they were simply absorbed into the dome itself.
"What the…?" Uryu asked himself as he watched his spiritron arrows simply disappearing and becoming one with the dome that surrounded them, he saw no look coming over Ichigo's face as he moved right over to them, it was only when Ichigo literally got over to one of the walls of the dome that any different looks made their presence on his face.
"Don't try to fight back because I need all my concentration for this, if you mess up my concentration It'll just be more painful" Ichigo said to them emotionlessly, he really didn't want to do it, but to save his name as still part human he knew that he would have to do it. Even if such an action could have the potential to come back and bite him sometime in the near future. Uryu looked at him disbelievingly, Ichigo did not care, Uryu knew that there was no way out so it was either get hurt or take it as it came.
"What do you plan to do exactly?" Uryu asked only to be completely ignored. Ichigo's hand met with the outer wall of the dome and suddenly the transparent red dome sparked and was suddenly entirely coloured white all around them, as if they were put into a dome of pure light. At the top of the dome four tendrils of the dome seeped out and moved to each person, it did not matter if they tried to evade or not the vines found them and once they touched a person they wrapped around them. It was not by any means a way of holding them, it was simply the spiritual pressure coating them somewhat.
Then a warm feeling began to take over the forms of all of them. Uryu would have thought this a technique that meant slow death, but he felt so light and warm and when he looked over to Sado, he could see that the large man had opened his eyes again and was looking around confused and worried. His eyes fell upon the form of Matsumoto and momentarily Uryu saw that look of fear cross Sado's face, but as time went by Matsumoto's breathing returned and she propped herself up again and looked around confused herself.
It was at that point that Uryu honestly had no idea what was going on. It had looked so much like Ichigo was going to attack them and basically finish them off, but with the warm and inviting aura that the dome was giving off, added to the fact that everyone's injuries were being healed at the same time honestly did make Uryu wonder what the end result of this technique would be.
Eventually the warm effect wore off and Uryu felt better than he had in a very long time, it was as if his body had awoke from a sleep of just the right amount of time and was very happy with the condition his body was in. looking around he could see that everyone was on their feet too and looking around themselves at the white dome surrounding them. Sado reached out inquisitively and touched a wall of the dome only to have his hand electrocuted and a shock to run up his arm. As he retracted his arm at high speeds they all watched as the dome around them vanished and slowly disappeared to one space. Eventually it shrunk until it was but a sheet of white on Ichigo's palm before disappearing completely. It was only then that they were all shown the sheer determination of Ichigo. His face was sweating heavily and as the dome fell apart his face resumed its emotionless mask.
"Proof of my humanity" Ichigo said simply before he was surrounded by seven figures.
He looked up and was surprised by who it was that had come besides the presence of Zakabe and Sera which he knew would have come he was also surrounded by another five figures, more than he had really anticipated to be honest.
There were four male Arrancar and a singular female Arrancar that had joined them, they were some of the remnants of the unit that had followed Zakabe when they had first stormed Las Noches, and he had always wondered what happened to them. He nodded to them all as he turned on the spot to look at those he had just healed.
"Since you have come here for naught I shall help you in returning home" Ichigo said as he pointed in front of himself and a Garganta began to tear free of the restraints of reality. Ichigo then stepped around it so that they could see him again and indicated it with his thumb. "This Garganta is headed towards the realm of the humans, take it if you want or follow me or even stay here if you want, I don't care" Ichigo finished coldly as he then turned to the cohort of Arrancar that would be accompanying him on his way into the Soul Society.
"You all know what you are here for I hope?" Ichigo asked them as they all looked to their deity and nodded their heads diligently, Ichigo smiled at the sight of them seeing his viewpoint in this and nodded himself. Turning to look at Sera and Zakabe he could see that both were looking at him seriously for the first time in a while. "I thank you two for accompanying me, if you however do not wish to come please say so" Ichigo said to them with a smile that he tried to make as little condescending as he could.
"Say that again and I don't care if you are God or not, I will kill you" Sera said while she put on the façade of a sweet smile while Ichigo literally could feel that his life flashed before his eyes. Girls were scary, it was official. It did not help anywhich way with Zakabe's next comment.
"Please don't rile her up, if she gets angry I get hurt, it's not nice" Zakabe complained which then meant that Sera's attention was focussed on him and the way Ichigo watched Zakabe's face contort in sheer horror had him almost laughing despite the current situation, he loved it when those close to him could make situations that much lighter. Sera's smile did not disappear, nor did the sickly sweet voice as she asked Zakabe her next question.
"Are you trying to insinuate that I am unstable when I am angry?" she asked slowly and almost sultry, but the way in which Zakabe was literally shielding his body from her and looking in sheer terror at her had everyone convinced that Zakabe was in for a world of hurt.
"n…n…no of course not!" Zakabe said as he waved his hands in front of his chest disarmingly while smiling nervously, Ichigo simply watched in amusement while Zakabe's squad all watched with mixed emotions, the males looked in terror as they could tell what Sera could do in a bad mood, it truly was terrifying. The female Arrancar however smiled happily, glad that Sera was finally able to get quite as close as she was with Zakabe, it was the closest she had ever seen them since the event that split them apart.
"That's good then" Sera said as she simply walked off with a happy smile plastered on her face, causing all of the male Arrancar to drop to the ground after worrying for so long, they were sure their leader was dead. Ichigo inwardly chuckled at the antics of his subordinates, two years ago with the Espada and Arrancar under Aizen, Ichigo would have never thought Arrancar to be quite as happy and funny as they were, it was by no means a bad thing however.
"Right let us go now, if I find that Orihime is in any form of trouble you had all better be ready to take on the entirety of Soul Society" Ichigo said as he looked at them all individually. They all nodded once again and Ichigo was assured that they were now ready to depart. Turning on the spot he opened up yet another Garganta. Just as he was about to step through he was halted by the sound of a voice.
"Don't think you are going anywhere without me" came a voice from behind them all and Ichigo turned around to the familiar voice with a hint of surprise.
For it was none other than Tatsuki who was standing there, not only that but it was her entire appearance that had him surprised the most.
She had adorned the clothing of the Arrancar for whatever reasons she may have, although the look that Sera gave Tatsuki and then Ichigo may have been an indication. It was simple enough attire that she wore. With the regular white pants and sandals, the only different thing from most Arrancar was that her torso was covered by a tank top of pure white fabric that looked slightly strained against her body and it also revealed some of her toned stomach. At her side was a small dagger tucked into a small holster that was strapped to her waist.
Currently her hand was resting on her waist as she looked at Ichigo who was at that moment staring at her, she was enjoying the view of him staring at her when she noticed who was behind him and she scowled. Of course she knew their reason for being there at that moment and time, it was partly her reason for being there, the other being the man who was staring at her in complete and utter disbelief.
Yet after a moment it was as if a button had been pressed within his mind and his look changed from disbelief to a hard look that gave nothing away about him. It was almost as if he managed to perfectly form his hollow mask across his face without it taking tangible form. Tatsuki watched as this mask went up and was half surprised but half expected it, it was a sign that things were not quite the way she had anticipated.
"Let's go guys, I'd prefer to be out of here before Sachi or Kyota catch wind of what we are doing here" Ichigo said as he stepped through the Garganta before him and disappeared from sight. The Arrancar all looked to each other before following suit, which was until there was only Tatsuki, Sera and Zakabe left. Zakabe looked to Tatsuki before snarling and stepping through the Garganta.
"He doesn't seem to like you at all Tatsuki, maybe he doesn't trust you because you betrayed us so easily" Matsumoto almost spat as she leaned up against Sado for support. Uryu and Rukia were watching the scene in mild trepidation, there was still one Arrancar left and she seemed to be strong, if not by the way she carried herself then by the way she made all of the others almost cower in fear had shown them enough.
Despite the venomous words coming from Matsumoto, Tatsuki smiled an almost devious and sadistic grin, causing most of the group of four to look at her in shock. "I don't have to worry about his distaste for me, I am repenting for my actions and since Ichigo and I are close he won't touch me" Tatsuki explained while she grinned almost like a maniac. Her smile softened when she looked to her left and saw Sera standing there staring at the four carefully, scoping them out for any signs of attack. "It also helps that I have Sera on my side too, otherwise things might have been trickier" Tatsuki admitted as she indicated Sera with her thumb.
"That doesn't help the fact that you have betrayed all of us, even Orihime, Tatsuki you are the worst kind of person, one who abandons their comrades" Matsumoto said as she stood up again, feeling strength within her body that she had not felt in a long time. Tatsuki looked at her again without any hint of sadness at those words, if anything she seemed amused.
"If I had betrayed Orihime I would not be as willing as I am to go with Ichigo to take on Soul Society in order to find her, I have known Orihime for over ten years, you have only known her for maybe three, do not think that you know her nor care for her better than I" Tatsuki said as she took a step in Matsumoto's direction and increased her spiritual pressure output, surprising them all with the sudden rise in her spiritual pressure, it had not always been so powerful.
"Arisawa-san, what have you done?" Uryu asked strenuously as he strained against the potent spiritual pressure emitted from the tom-boy. There was no way that she had always had such an evil aura about her, it felt like she had sold her soul to the devil in order to gain such immense power.
"You make it sound like I gained this power illegally" Tatsuki complained with slight humour to which Sera giggled slightly covering her mouth with her hand. "I've always had this power" Tatsuki explained as she then lessened her output of spiritual pressure causing breathing for all of them to come easier. "It's only because I trained so vigorously in order to control such power…" Tatsuki began as she accumulated some spiritual pressure into her hand and it turned into flames, but not any flames, blue hot flames that were completely covering her hand. "… Since I've been training to fight Ichigo this whole time" Tatsuki finished as she cancelled the power running to her hand and moved to the Garganta. "If you truly want to save Orihime, you are better off apologising to Ichigo soon, because the window of opportunity is slowly fading" Tatsuki finished before finally walking into the Garganta.
The only ones still standing within the area were now only Sera and the four of the group. All of them looked to the woman with much distaste yet she did not seem fazed in the slightest by the looks, in fact she smiled to them all before she spoke.
"I know that things did not go quite so well when he returned to the world of the living, I know everything that happened and I know all of you and your personalities, powers, traits and whatever I need to know really. I am not the one you must worry about though, if you do follow through on Tatsuki's proposal to try and talk to Ichigo, watch out for Zakabe" Sera began as she did not take her gaze from any of them, her smile never once faltering.
"Ichigo may be much more than happy to accept that his nakama are apologising to him, yet Zakabe is not so easily forgiving, you have seen how he acts with Tatsuki and that is after she apologised and Ichigo even talked to him about her. Anyway I thought I might as well warn you for future reference, goodbye and good luck with whatever you decide to do" Sera finished as she smiled to them all and then followed Tatsuki into the swirling abyss of the Garganta.
The swirling abyss of the Garganta however did not disappear. It hung in the air alongside its counterpart that led all the way back to the human world. No-one moved for a long time until Sado finally made a move for the Garganta, surprising both of the Shinigami but not quite Uryu.
"What are you doing Sado?" Rukia asked completely confused to why he would follow through into a Garganta that Ichigo had just ventured into after saying he was going to battle Soul Society.
"This serves two purposes that none of us can ignore. First of all being the retrieval of Orihime, only Uryu and I can do so without worries of whose side we are on, we only wish to save her, for you two it serves the purpose of getting you to Soul Society and not making it suspicious that you are not there when Ichigo attacks" Sado explained as he simply left at that, not even giving anyone the chance to reply. Uryu smirked slightly before he too entered the Garganta. Sado may not say much, but he definitely knew what to say whenever he did finally talk.
Rukia and Matsumoto were forced to look at each other before they had to admit the logic did make sense and followed onwards. Rukia took the slightest of moments to wonder what the current situation of Renji was before she moved into the Garganta, her thoughts a riling mess between the awkwardness with Renji and the very way that Ichigo was acting towards her, she was really not having a good time of it.
Said man was currently sitting in the throne room of Las Noches with two women on each of his sides. He honestly did not know how things came to this, all he knew was that he had been told to watch over the castle and that he was to make sure the girls did not follow Ichigo, quite tough when they were determined to follow him almost anywhere.
The only way he had managed to stop them was by telling them that Ichigo had left him in charged and asked them to listen to Renji as he was the big brother when Ichigo was not there, although grudgingly, the girls accepted these terms and were currently sitting on the armrests of the chair in which Renji sat, with their arms crossed.
"Why'd we have to sit here anyway?" Sachi whined as she stood up and walked forward, her body tense showing her immense discomfort and great irritation at the current situation. Her sister stayed on the throne next to the only other person she had ever seen with red hair such as hers.
"I don't know, all I know is what you know, Ichigo-sama asked us to stay here and that Renji would be the one that looked after us" Kyota answered as she indicated the red head beside her who had a look of indifference, honestly, put him in this situation a few years ago and he'd be worrying about his life, yet after his time with Ichigo and the girls he knew Arrancar to be more appealing that before.
"Look I can tell that neither of you are completely happy with the set-up and to be honest it was kind of thrown at me too but can I ask that you do this for Ichigo at the very least?" Renji asked as he tried not to sound desperate but at the same time trying to sound firm and sure of the words that he had spoken. Both of the girls turned to look at the calm face of the Shinigami.
"Who are you to ask such a thing of us Shinigami!" Kyota asked, feeling her anger rising at the tone he had tried to strike with them, it sounded almost condescending, like they would do everything and anything that Ichigo told them. Well they were free spirits and could do as they pleased; after all, they were Arrancar.
Renji was taken aback by the sudden display of aggressiveness towards him. As far as he could tell he had done nothing to bring such an angry response and from his previous watching's, the girls were not often seen as angry at all. Then again Ichigo had been there much of the time and Renji figured that the girls either felt unsafe without him there or only behaved while in his presence, while it may make them sound like children, it was not an impossible idea.
"I do not think I am anyone, I am simply asking that we get along until Ichigo returns, I mean no disrespect when I speak, if that is the problem here?" Renji asked as he raised his eyebrow in question to Kyota who seemed to be the one who was the most aggravated by him.
"I will not listen to a Shinigami who is weaker than me" Kyota answered rather snobbily for her and even Sachi was somewhat surprised in the manner that her sister was approaching this situation, she had not seen Kyota act like this for a long time, in fact the last time was when they had first met Ichigo, Kyota simply refused any of his help.
"How do you know that I am weaker than you?" Renji asked after he had sighed at the Arrancar's words, he really did not want to have to do anything he might regret to the girls, Ichigo would have his balls. Although he felt it a responsibility to his friend there was also the fear behind the power Ichigo held, it was truly god-like.
"You are Shinigami, they are weaker than hollow, therefore you are weaker than I" Kyota answered back almost viciously while Sachi watched in mild interest as to why her sister was getting so heated up about all of this, it was simply really, listen to Renji till Ichigo got back, couldn't be that hard, right?
"The man who lead the entire Arrancar army at the Winter War was Aizen Sosuke, former Shinigami captain, your logic has been refuted" Renji answered back calmly as he sat back down into the seat that he was currently residing within. He closed his eyes and focused on her spiritual pressure and waited for the inevitable. He did not have to wait long as a Zanpaktou whistled above his head. He moved his head slightly to the left and then opened his eyes as the sound of metal embedding in stone could be heard.
Renji looked directly into Kyota's blue eyes and stood up slowly, Kyota still stood a few centimetres away from him as her weapon was not so much a katana, but a naginata. The shaft was of intricate white design, moving onto the wooden area that held the blade itself, this was shining brightly with golden energies running just below the surface of the wood. Finally the blade itself which was embedded within the stone throne. From what little Renji could see of it, it was an obsidian black colour and had intricate designs of red running all over its surface.
"If this will prove to you that I am strong enough then so be it" Renji said to her as he grabbed onto the shaft of her naginata and yanked it out of the stone throne. After pulling it out he held it in the air, effectively lifting her off of the ground and stared right into her eyes with his own betraying nothing of his emotions.
"Let us begin then, but to another place, I don't wanna destroy this room, Ichigo would kill me" Renji said as he walked away from the duo, towards the training grounds he had become accustomed to. Kyota and Sachi shared looks before following the red-head.
I warn you right now, there is implied rape in this scene so i shall put another notice much like this one at the end of the scene if you are squemish about these things, i apologise if you do not like the scene but it helps the story along.
It had been driving him wild ever since he had seen it. Ever since it had graced his eyes he had wanted it in every form he could think of, there was no end to the different ways he wanted it.
Her body, it had him enticed. He wanted to claim it, to ravage it, to pound it. He began to salivate at the very thought of it. This was the condition Volak found himself in as he went to the end of the hallway where his greatest desire laid waiting for him. He was going to do what he wanted to that body and he was going to enjoy it to the greatest extent.
Walking down the hallway that was only lit by the orange glow of the fiery pillars Volak could literally feel his pants get tighter as his anticipation was reaching its peak now; he was surely inn for some fun. Coming upon the door Volak took a deep breath and waited. Every other time he had tried to gain access there had been a white skinned pain in the arse by the name of Ulquiorra that barred him entry into the room; it really was becoming a nuisance.
After he waited for a few moments and there was no visible sign of the warden to the humans room he took another deep breath and opened the door.
There before him was the greatest marvel he had ever laid eyes on. Lying on the bed she was clear to be seen the only things destroying the perfect view of her body being the clothing she still had on. He moved over to her bedside in order to get a better look at her, her orange bangs were covering her face slightly but even despite that he could see her peaceful expression as she slept under his looming figure.
It was like there was an angel right there with him and that only made him smile even more, to think that there was an angel this very close to a demon that wanted to do so many sacrilegious things to her body only made him squirm in delight. It was like eating forbidden fruit, the excitement of being caught getting him excited too.
The woman squirmed underneath him and he could see her face contort in discomfort, her hand moved over to where her heart was and she held onto the area tightly, pulling the fabric of her clothing tighter around her body and allowing Volak to see more of her glory. She had been given clothing while in the realm of hell. She wore a kimono of red colour, full body sized. Yet as she had gripped at the fabric it was pulled tighter across her body and Volak felt his mouth fill up with drool.
He could not take it any longer and lunged forward. He grabbed onto her arm, not his first target as when he had made to catch her, she turned over and instead he was sadly only able to get a handful of her shoulder. He did however snake his hand down her front until he caught her breast and squeezed it roughly. The woman below him let loose a gasp of pain, he felt his pants get even tighter until he felt an excruciating pain running from his wrist all the way up his arm.
It was then that he looked and found that he was actually down one hand. His hand had been cut off at the wrist but upon closer inspection he found that his wrist was not bleeding as if it had been cut. But the wound was fine; it was almost as if a hand had never been in the space where his wrist was. The area was healed over and looked almost natural, no mutations at all. It did not matter as his hand grew out of the stump, due to his healing ability.
He looked to the form of the woman again, this time in silent fury to find that she was just as she had been moments before. What he had missed however was the orange glow that was slowly fading away below her back. In his anger he grabbed at her shoulder again and ripped at the fabric, causing it to come away and woke up the woman in the process.
Orihime woke to find that the demon who had been giving her disgusting looks when she had been brought in here was ripping at her clothes. In instant fear Orihime let loose a bloodcurdling scream that surprised the demon and caused his fist to be ploughed right into Orihime's face. Orihime felt the full force of that impact and her head hit the bed again as it was not meant to take blows anything like that.
The next thing she knew was that her head was spinning and that there was a warm breath right next to her ear that sent chills down her spine, and in no way the good kind. "Shut up, and let's enjoy this" came the sinister voice of the man behind her. She could not believe it, she had been captured once again and not only that but she was going to be raped. Her tears finally fell free and true at that one moment and time. Her world came crashing down.
The man re-began his tearing up of her clothing and she pitifully tried to stop him only to have her hands batted away by his superior one. She was close to giving up and accepting her fate when he did not seem to be stopping, her hell was being realised. The greatest fear anyone can have is the fear of rape and Orihime's mind was close to shutting down to save her the trauma.
The demon who had felt such a rush when he had hit the woman decided upon repeating the action to see if it would excite him anymore. With a crack at her face once again he felt a wave of pleasure running up his arm to the rest of his body and shook from it. Orihime's head was once again smashed into the bed once again, her only lifeline she was lucky to have was her strong skull, but even then it was still hard going on her head.
Volak had to resist the urge to laugh as he felt the unbridled pleasure coursing through his body. He could see that Orihime was barely conscious and decided he had better be quick if he wanted to have as much fun as he possibly could. Shifting her so that her legs were on either side of his waist he started fumbling with his red pants, he also managed to move the kimono somewhat up Orihime's legs before returning to the difficult task of removing his pants.
Orihime was softly whimpering below him and his grin grew even more maniacal. This was the greatest turn on to him, added this and the thought of getting caught and he loved this. As his pants dropped to the ground he grinned again and started trying to get rid of the fabric covering his desired area. It was at that time that Orihime seemed to regain some of her senses and screamed out loud again, Volak felt his heart jump into his throat and in that instant drew his fist back and prepared to fire it right into her face again, to both shut her up and give him even greater pleasure.
His fist primed, Volak brought it forward at great momentum. Orihime raised her arms in order to try and fend off the blow but she needn't have bothered. A venomous spiritual pressure blasted through the room and at that moment Volak's shooting fist was stopped by an alabaster hand that gripped around his wrist.
The scene is over as of now I promise you
And again i aplogise if you do not like this scene but like I said it will help the story progress along and makes circumstances, when they come about, much more dramatic.
Volak looked over to where he expected an expressionless face to be met with his own. Only it wasn't expressionless, if anything it was furious. Those emerald orbs held hatred and anger beyond compare, there were some demons of both hatred and anger that paled in comparison to this man's.
"Would you mind explaining to me why you are in here? Volak" Ulquiorra asked as a dense layer of spiritual pressure coated the room, making Volak drop Orihime's leg down and allowed the girl to escape while she pulled the kimono down over her feet and then curled up into the foetal position. Volak saw this movement and smirked, he was not done yet.
"Why I was just going to have a good time with Orihime-Chan here" Volak answered almost innocently as Orihime scrunched up her face in distaste and fear and downright disgust at the way he talked about the act he almost committed. But she was confused as well as scared, Ulquiorra, the man she always thought did not care much for her, was furious right now, not something he ever used to do before.
"Are you stupid Volak, do you realise what will happen when a certain man finds out about this?" Ulquiorra asked strenuously, Orihime could feel that he was holding back so much, it was not like before when he seemed to be an empty shell. Now he seemed to be full of emotions he tried desperately to hold in. Volak was however not perturbed by the manner in which Ulquiorra was addressing him, he loved to fight and this new Ulquiorra that seemed to be furious might just give him the fight that he would love. He laughed out loud as to what Ulquiorra was saying.
"You think that I am afraid of Kovasuke! He is but a demon who thinks he is at the Greater Demon standard! He has nothing to back him up!" Volak shouted in fury as he moved away from the bedside that Orihime was still curling into the foetal position on. Ulquiorra looked to the man before him that was so suddenly angry. He found it amusing that Volak had instantly assumed that he meant Kovasuke.
"No, it is not Kovasuke that I speak of, I speak of one far more powerful than he, I speak of Kurosaki" Ulquiorra said and watched as Orihime's head raised at the mention of that man's name. "He is the reason that I am in this place and he killed me for simply keeping him from her, if you were to cause such sacrelidge to her body I do believe that you would not be reborn in any realm" Ulquiorra said before a chuckle escaped his lips and Volak looked at him in anger.
"What's so funny!" Volak yelled while Ulquiorra looked to him with his hate filled eyes. Ulquiorra reached to his left side with his right hand.
"Well, I am able to show this woman my gratitude for caring about me before death, but also since she is under my jurisdiction and you just about raped her…" Ulquiorra said as he drew out his Zanpaktou and pointed it at Volak. "… then that means I can beat you as hard as I please" Ulquiorra said before charging spiritual pressure to the tip of his blade and sending off a fiery cero in a fine line towards Volak's position.
Ichigo emerged through the other end of the Garganta walking. Without even breaking his stride he lifted his right hand and gathered spiritual pressure. He soon released it and the cero blast forced through the outer wall of Soul Society, the dust soon settled and showed a sizable gap in the wall. Ichigo walked towards the gap in the wall and was soon joined by his Arrancar comrades and Tatsuki on the other side. He smiled softly at the fact Tatsuki was there before he turned to them side on.
"Now we attack Soul Society and find Orihime" Ichigo declared as he raised his fist into the air. With this action the Arrancar all yelled in approval before all took off peeling into Soul Society, they all had an idea what Orihime looked like and set out, splitting up to find her. Ichigo then found himself alone where he stood and smiled.
"Soon Orihime, we shall be together, safe and sound, with no worries in the world, not even Hell itself could stop me from seeing this through" Ichigo said to himself before he too tore through the gap in the outer wall.
Well here we go I have set up a fight to be resolved next chapter, and have basically had Ichigo and his close allies invade Soul Society, I know you will be wondering why I done this but that's part of the story and you gotta wait to find out ;) anyway I hope you enjoy this somewhat long chapter and I shall see you in the next chapter of whatever I write =] - Varrukh
