Yeah, again sorry I killed Rukia but it makes things more interesting and no I don't hate Rukia so that wasn't the reason I killed her, if I'd killed Byakuya then it'd been completely weird, he's not an easy guy to take down plus Mugetsu cares about Rukia more than Byakuya. So 'DaScythr' you need to chill the fuck out cause I don't appreciate reviews that flame, okay?

Anyway don't forget the pole XD

I own none of the rights to Bleach, that goes to Tite Kubo.

'Chouko'

'Shiro'

'Tensa'

Someone's Watching Your Pain


"Mmmm, soul reaper hearts always hit the spot." The figure moaned as blood dripped from her mouth, the heart still held in her hand with a giant chunk missing from it.

"You bastard!" Mugetsu roared and was just about to charge when Tensa stopped him.

'Ichigo, listen to me, I know you want to avenge Rukia but her bodies disappearing. And Chouko has an idea that could save her, but you need to listen.'

'If you really want to save Rukia Ichi-ni I could turn her into a hollow for you.'

'Wouldn't she just want to kill everyone then?'

'No, I'll make her an arrancar like I did the others, she will have the same powers as she does now, only a few hollow ones will be acquired. Her strength will not change only her appearance. Do you want me to try?'

'What about her?'

'Me and Tensa will deal with this bastard.'

'But-'

'Now is not the time Ichigo decide now!'

'Let's do it then.' Mugetsus attention snapped back to the current situation in time to catch the end of Anubis's conversation with Grim.

"….That voice..."Anubis trailed off as he and Grim now stood in front of Mugetsu poised ready for battle.

"What is it Anubis?" Grim asked as he materialised a scythe into his right hand.

"…No! Apophis! Please tell me this isn't true!" Anubis cried, his anger increasing along with his spiritual pressure which was now creating a golden aura around him.

"N'awww dear brother, are you upset?" Apophis teased before consuming the remainder of Rukias heart. "How's dear Horus? I heard he had a very tragic accident."

"Apophis! You shall pay for what you've done!" Anubis screamed as he and Grim launched themselves at the woman, weapons raised and poised ready do deal twin deadly strikes.

'Looks like we won't need to do anything.'

"Hurry Ichi-ni, we need to help Rukia!" Chouko called as she materialised and bounded towards the now glowing corpse of Rukia. Mugetsu hurried after her and got there just in time to see her erect a purple barrier around Rukia. The glowing stopped, but that only ushered the beginning of her transformation.

Purple and white liquid poured out the many wounds on her body and encased her body in seconds. Whiteness overtook the whole scene inside the barrier causing Mugetsu to turn away and the barrier to shatter due to the building energy inside. A hollow roar sounded from inside the now built up cloud of smoke stopping the battle that had been going on in the background.

"Mugetsu! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Grim yelled.

"Ohh my, didn't know he could do that." Apophis purred a small smile making its way onto her face.

"Pay attention!" Anubis yelled as he came up behind Apophis and slashed at her back, sending blood spraying on the ground. The battle resumed as Mugetsus actions were put aside in order to finish the battle.

Another roar resounded through the air, this time it was ignored as a small figure drifted through the smoke, it's feet inches off the floor. The smoke cleared revealing the hollow form of Rukia. Ultimately it reminded Mugetsu of her zanpakuto from during the rebellion. On its back were purple wings similar to that of a butterfly, like they were the bow from her zanpakutos outfit. The wings were beating furiously which was the reason she hovered above the floor. She had a white and purple crystal-like spritely body, with the her hole positioned in the place where her heart had been torn out. Clawed feet and hands gave her a vicious edge along with the swept back crystal spikes that protruded from her head and out from her still raven black hair. The mask that covered her face had jagged edges as it too swept back into her hair like the spikes. Violet eyes glowed from their sockets and her now long raven coloured hair danced around her face.

"Now for stage two!" Chouko grinned as another barrier formed around the hollow and concealed it in a blast of white light.

The process was quicker this time and after a few cries from the hollow all fell silent, the only noises heard were that of clashed blades and grunts of the three who were still fighting. The light cleared again to reveal a normal looking Rukia, save the hole in her chest and her piece of mask. The mask consisted of two bone like vambraces on her arms and a piece swept back at the side of her head.

"Ichigo…" She sighed when she saw him before collapsing to the floor. Chouko turned her over and grinned up at Mugetsu.

"She's okay, just tried," She glanced over to the fight which was currently going on in front of them. Apophis was losing but that didn't mean she was going to give up. Her body was covered in multiple cuts that were bleeding out onto the floor. The others had their share of cuts but they weren't as bad. The most severe was to Anubis's arm which had a giant gaping slash through it almost rendering it useless.

"Do you want me to stop her Ichi-ni?"

"Yeah, it's gone on for long enough and this way we can question her." Mugetsu replied as he walked out into the Kuchiki garden which was now trashed. The bridge was destroyed leaving only a few planks standing. Plants had been kicked up or completely obliterated. The pond was no longer a pond. Fish were flopping about all over the garden and the 'pond' was now filled with mud, blood and gore.

The purple haired child muttered a few words before chains formed around Apophis and dragged her towards them. Apophis cursed and hissed as she was dragged along the rough churned up ground of the garden and then brought to a stop just in front of the wooden walkway.

"What have you done to me? Let me go!" She screeched her hood finally falling down to reveal someone who looked so similar to Aunbis it was staggering. She had the same dark hair which fell longer than Anubis's as it reached down under her tattered bloodied cloak. Dark evil eyes glared blankly up at Mugetsu as she attempted to shake the chains loose.

"Why did you kill Rukia?" Mugetsu snapped as Grim and Anubis landed next to him their eyes more on Chouko then Apophis.

"Why would I tell you that? I'm going to die anyway." Apophis smirked.

"What about Horus? Why did you attack him?" Anubis asked in an almost sad, pleading tone.

"Brother I didn't attack Horus, as much as I wanted to someone else was assigned to that one."

"Tell me who did it, then maybe I'll take mercy on you." Anubis threatened as he crouched in front of her and lifted her up to his level by the chains that bound her.

"Threaten me all you will, I shall not break. Brother." She spat at him only to receive a backhand to the face.

"Anubis.." Grim warned.

"Yes, too emotionally involved. Hard not to be, she's my half-sister."

"Maybe I should take over?" Grim offered.

"Fine," Anubis dropped Apophis back to the ground and stormed away to a nearby wall. Leaning against is he didn't take his eyes of Apophis for more than a second.

"Now, Apophis is it? I'd appreciate it if you co-operated, makes things easier as I don't need to torcher you physically to get my answers." The skeletal man rumbled hollowly as he strolled over to the now caked in mud woman.

"You wouldn't, you're not-" She started quivering evidently afraid of the methods Grim was known for.

"We're above that petty law when it comes to murdering other pantheons." Grim cut her off, "Now are you going to talk?"

"I don't give in to idle threats." Apophis said in an attempt to be brave but Mugetsu could see she was really terrified on the inside, even his hairs were standing on end and he didn't know what Grim was about to do.

"You'll find that it's not idle." He murmured as he stretched his hand out towards her. At first not much happened, a few shadows swirled round Grims hand and the slowly made its way towards Apophis. She shook her head as she tried to move away from the smoke but it was futile. The smoke surrounded her head and then appeared to be absorbed into her skin. That was all though, until she started screaming.

The screams made Mugetsu jump, he glanced over to Chouko who cringed and her face twisted into a horror filled expression. Something was obviously happening on the inside of Apophis's mind. The screams were as if someone was tearing her mind to pieces, scattering everything around inside her and ripping it up some more. Some blood leaked out her eyes like crimson tears only much less innocent. The screaming soon stopped and Apophis who'd been levitating in the air now collapsed back onto the mudded ground and curled into a heap shaking. The chains that bound her shattered and Chouko sunk to the floor, her eyes wide and scared.

"Chouko!" Mugetsu called as he ran over to her, kneeling in front of her when he got there, "What happened?"

"Ichi-ni…" She shook her head before launching herself around his waist in a crushing hug. Gently putting a hand on her back he brought her into a small comforting hug.

"Did you get much?" Anubis called to Grim.

"Bits and pieces, I may have been a bit too ruthless on her…" Grim admitted, Mugetsu could hear them walking up behind him. When they stopped behind him Chouko looked up gasping when she saw Grim and then promptly disappeared.

'We'll look after her Ichigo. She saw some horrible things while he….'

'What did he do?'

'You don't want to know king, just say it's a miracle that woman's still alive let alone conscious.'

"What did you get then?" Anubis said snapping Mugetsu back to the present.

"She's been watching Mugetsu, had a vendetta against him for killing Aizen. She was there when it happened. Did you see her Mugetsu?"

"No I didn't." Mugetsu replied stoically as he got up and faced them a scowl completely fixed into his face.

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't know it would affect your zanpakuto too and I didn't expect her to be a child." Grim sighed, "You sure you didn't see her? Apparently your move hit her because she was stood right behind Aizen."

"No."

"She must've been invisible. She can't bare the sun seeing her, after all she hates Ra." Anubis mused, "Anything else?"

"I only got one name, one that's not surprising really. Beelzebub," Grim paused as he dusted himself off. "Then there's the fact they've got a keen eye on Mugetsu here, the framing was a way to get his attention. As for the master plan, she kept it well hidden." Grim gestured to the heavily shaking body of Apophis who was curled into a foetal position.

"Seriously Beelzebub? He said he wouldn't get involved in death god business anymore." Anubis sighed, "As for Mugetsu I'm sure he can take care of himself where they're concerned."

"Yeah so while we go talk to Beelzebub you can go back home, I'm sure everyone's worried." Grim said with fake sincerity, "Before we go, I want to talk to you about that." He indicated to the fainted form of the now arrancar Rukia.

"As do I," A familiar noble voice called from the middle of his wreck garden, a few guards accompanying him. His face held the same emotionless expression it always did, apparently uncaring about the fact his garden was trashed.

"Byakuya," Mugetsu smirked.

"Looks like you're just in time, Mr Kuchiki, Mugetsu was just about to explain." Anubis smirked up at the soul reaper whose garden he'd just destroyed.


So yeah I brought back Rukia, she won't be over powered or anything, practically the same as normal only difference being she's a hollow and therefore has cero. Do you guys think I should've brought her back?

Hope this isn't getting too over the top, you know introducing loads of different gods and stuff… aha

Next time: She's a Hollow, Woah, Woah, Woah…

XD couldn't help it.
