Okay, well I came up with another chapter. This is my first story that I've continued on. I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. Rukia's too sexy for that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ichigo was going to find her. He was going to fight for her.

Zangetsu didn't understand the light feeling he had in his heart when Ichigo had finally decided. But he didn't care. The pain he felt before was almost unbearable.

Zangetsu knew he had to talk to Ichigo. He knew he had to help him find that black haired girl again. Not having her presence there felt awkward and wrong and he didn't like it.

Finally Zangetsu made up his mind. He had to get that girl back, even if it meant yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs to get Ichigo to hear him.

So he began. He could feel Ichigo trying to reach him from the other side, but it still wasn't quite strong enough to see him.

Finally, after days of screaming his lungs out, Ichigo could hear him. Facing the man that had let the black haired girl in was not what Zangetsu had expected. But he didn't care as long as this man could get her back.

During one fight against one of the strongest captains, she appeared for a moment in a hazy cloud right before Ichigo's body almost gave in. She wasn't really there, Zangetsu could tell, but she still carried the same presence that she had when she had been with him before. Finally, he turned to look at her. She smiled slightly.

"You're almost there." She barely whispered.

A power Ichigo never knew was in him exploded. He was definitely going to save her, there was no doubt about it.

The girl disappeared and Ichigo took her place.

"I need your help, Old Man." The boy proclaimed. Zangetsu knew full well what Ichigo was going to do with his help. And he was more than willing.

All he knew was that he wanted the girl's presence back. She held a place in Ichigo's heart, and that was obviously hard to do. Some how, this girl had raised above and beyond just a friend with Ichigo. In her own silent way she slipped into Ichigo's heart, and made her way into Zangetsu's as well.

He was going to save her. There was no doubt about that.
