Everyone was gathered outside the shop, except for Kise who carefully watched from the inside. They were all in their Shinigami robes, their hands ready to grab their Zanpaku-Tó at any moment. Kise's eyes wandered from them all and then saw her dad's bright orange her. Her eyes popped out. That looks sooooo cool! She was thinking about his Zanpaku-to, how huge it was, and how cool it looked. She also saw her mom standing right next to her dad, but didn't really see anything special about hers...

"Hey! What the hell are you doing here?"

"We're here to capture you, what else?" Kise saw some people facing the Shinigami. There were four creepy looking people...well they looked like people, but it didn't really seem like it. They all had holes in them. Holes that you could put your hand through, holes. And on their faces, they had some weird things. Like something from a Hollow mask from before...but more like fragments of it. A Zanpaku-Tó also dangled at each of their sides.

"Arrancar...but the reiatsu I'm getting from them isn't that powerful..."

They were also some kind of Hollow looking thing behind the Arrancar. They were huge...and really creepy looking, with some big, pointy noses.

"They also brung Menos...guess this'll be an interesting fight..."

Along with those were a lot of different looking Hollows. There were some small ones, and one or two Hollows that were really human looking and there was a lot of energy coming off of them. There were all sorts of Hollows beside those, too. But, more like the normal ones that could be found.

"Ajuukaru and Vastoorodes...you went all out, didn't you?"

Both sides leapt at each other at the same moment and they started fighting. Kise saw their Zanpaku-Tó's hitting each other's and heard the sound of metal being thrusted against metal. But then the Menos and other Hollows that they hadn't been able to get to, because of the growing amount, started heading into the city.

"Madarame! Yumichika! GO! Get rid of those frickin' Hollows!" Zaraki barked at his 3rd and 4th seat.

"Hai Zaraki-taichou!" The two of them ran off to go deal with them. Some of the other captains told their vice-captains to go deal with the other Hollows too.

"Ichigo!" Kise's head spun in the direction that she heard her mom scream out. She saw Rukia running towards Ichigo with a look of pure terror on her face. It seemed go in slow motion for the three of them.

Ichigo had been dealing with an Ajuukaru and hadn't noticed a Vastoorode creep up on him. Rukia had though, and as soon as she spotted it she screamed out at him. She started running, panting towards him. Ichigo had barely noticed. But just as the Vastoorode would've fatally injured him, Rukia ran in just in time and took the blow for him.

"RUKIA!"

"MOM!" The two of them screamed as Rukia took a hit in the stomach and spit out some blood, crumpling onto the ground. Ichigo quickly picked her up and glared at the Vastoorode, but just as he would've done something that he would've regretted, Kise suddenly appeared next to him.

"What're you doing here? Go back in there!"

"No." She said it simply, but firmly. Ichigo stared at Kise, with her look of determination. "Go inside and get some help for mom. I'll finish this guy."

"What! How? You've barely spent even a few hours with Urahara! No! You're not ready!"

"Yes, I am dad. Now go!" She spun around and glared at him straight in the eye. Ichigo recognized that look. It was the same look Rukia would always give him. And he knew that she was right.

"Okay, fine. But call for help if you need it, okay!"

"Don't worry, I will." Ichigo quickly ran into the shop, leaving Kise alone with the Vastoorode. "You are so gonna pay for doing that to my mom."

"Oh really? And what is your confidence based on?"

"My confidence? Umm...sorry! Can't think of something cool to say, but I know something cool to do!"

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

A/N: Ajuukaru and Vastoorodes are a kind of Hollow. Really strong, too. Both are pretty rare. Ajuukaru are smaller than Menos but are way better in terms of intellectualness and combat. And Vastoorodes are the most human and powerful Hollow. They've only manifested in Hueco Mundo and are really powerful. Well anyway, that's it :D Reviews are appreciated!
