I do not own Bleach

Chapter 6: The Transmitted Message

"Damn," said Soi Fon.

"…" muttered Byakuya.

"Crap…" sputtered out Sajin.

"Oh my," said Shunsui.

"This is bad…" said Toushiro seriously.

"Tch, useless," mocked Zaraki.

"Ku, ku, ku," chuckled Mayuri evilly.

"…darn…" said Ukitake.

Unohana strode out of the building. She walked over to the first division building, where there was an intercom that could be heard throughout Soul Society. Unohana began to ponder why she was making this a big deal. Was it because her lieutenant died? Unohana stopped. She needed further investigation. Isane could've died due to some sort of coincidental incident. No, impossible. A lieutenant could hold his/her own against even an Ajuukaru hollow. Yet, Isane was almost ripped apart. Furthermore, some other high-level shinigami from other divisions were lying on the ground by her, dead also. Something like an Ajuukaru hollow shouldn't have been able to beat a lieutenant, a third seat, a fourth seat, two fifth seats, and a seventh seat combined. It would have managed to do well, but not completely win. Could it have been a Vasteroode? Impossible. A Vasteroode was incredibly big, and therefore it would be noticed as a Vasteroode, and the captains would be immediately warned. Furthermore, if the cause of those shinigami's death was really a Vasteroode, they would be literally ripped in pieces. Was it a fellow shinigami? Everything was all confusing. There was only one thing to do. Ask Byakuya, since after all, Renji too was attacked by something. Unohana walked back to her building, lifted Renji, and ambled on to Byakuya's building.

"Sir," said Teku Noroji.

"What is it Noroji?" Mayuri blurted out.

"A numerous powerful, yet dark reiatsus have entered Soul Society from Hueco Mundo."

"I already know that. Tell me something I don't know."

"I don't know if you know this," said Noroji calmly, "but apparently, there is one that stands out among the rest of them."

"Hm? Interesting." Mayuri waved for Noroji to look at the main computer. "Let's look at your computer…"

"What do you think of what Unohana said?" asked Ukitake to Shunsui while they were taking their daily walk together.

"I don't know what Unohana is fretting about," said Shunsui. "I mean after all, although fellow shinigami are very important their deaths are very depressing and all, but seriously, this kind of thing happens occasionally. She's probably just did that because her lieutenant was included in the little massacre."

"I don't know…" Ukitake murmured.

Unohana entered the sixth division building. She went directly to Byakuya. "Kuchiki-taichou," she said, opening the door to Byakuya's office. Unohana carefully placed Renji on Byakuya's couch.

"Thank you Unohana-sama," said Byakuya, and then resumed back to paperwork.

"Can you please explain to me what happened to Abarai-san?" Unohana accidentally blurted out.

Byakuya stood up, strode past Unohana, and stopped for a second. "I don't know myself," Byakuya answered. He walked out of his office.

Unohana walked back to her building. Along the way, Unohana thought of some ways she could find out about what happened. Mayuri would probably know something about what happened. However, asking Mayuri would be like asking a rock. That would leave Urahara. But that was risky. After all, Urahara was exiled from Soul Society. Still, Urahara was more knowledgeable than Mayuri and would probably respond. However, as a captain with numerous duties, she could not leave her post. The only person that came to mind that could interact with Urahara was Hanatarou. After all, his "friends" were acquainted with Urahara, so why not? Unohana immediately walked inside the building to locate Hanatarou.

Hanatarou was striding around for no reason whatsoever until Unohana found him. Unohana explained the situation and forced him to go to the human world after lending him the division hell butterfly. Hanatarou thought it was too sudden and it was not like Unohana. Unohana was a captain who followed the rules, and she was always calm even in the worse situations. Hanatarou shrugged. At least he could see his "friends" again. "Yes ma'am!" replied Hanatarou cheerfully.

"What should we do?" asked Yoruichi, looking up at the odd-colored sky.

"Well, in order to get back to Soul Society, it'll take another seven days, but Earth needs protections too." Urahara scratched his head. "Be prepared is all we can do."

Suddenly, part of the sky began to swirl around until a dark purple color appeared.

"It starts," smiled Urahara, putting his hand on his hat.

Creepy faces of hollows began to emerge. Although Urahara and the others could not hear, the hollows were actually saying, "Where are they? Where are they?"

About thirty minutes before, Father had explained that a few hollows had crept out. There location was unknown, but a few other hollows were told to locate them.

"Let's just destroy this entire place," suggested one hollow.

"Good point," concurred another hollow.

The few hollows began to charge up hollow reiatsu for a Cero.

"It looks like they're going to do a Cero," muttered Yoruichi.

"Yeah, but the Cero looks different," said Ichigo.

The Ceros were charged at half power.

"Get ready!" ordered Urahara, already holding Benihime.

Yoruichi smiled. "You guys don't have to do anything." Yoruichi disappeared. She appeared up in the air and then disappeared again. The pattern repeated.

"Whoa, it's like she can jump in air," noticed an amazed Orihime.

Urahara noticed Orihime's amazement. "Watch, this is only part of it."

After a certain height, Yoruichi was near the hollow. The Ceros were at full power, but the hollows didn't get a chance to blast them. Yoruichi blasted several blasts directly into the faces of the hollows, and at the same time, pushed her back to Earth. The hollow disintegrated.

"D-damn," Ishida barely managed to mutter.

"Heh, heh," giggled Yoruichi, "even I like to have fun sometimes!"

Meanwhile, the same thing happened in Soul Society, except there were more hollows and no one noticed them. One particular hollow, who was one of the ones that snuck out, stared wildly at Ukitake and Shunsui. He was thinking about killing them. He could not suppress his reiatsu.

Shunsui and Ukitake stopped their walk. "I sense a dangerous reiatsu," they said in unison.

They figured it out, laughed the hollow in his mind. I guess I have to kill them right now! The hollow suddenly appeared before Shunsui and Ukitake. "You figured out, so I have to kill you now!" it screeched.

"I-impossible!" stuttered Ukitake. Ukitake pointed at the hollow. "There's no way a hollow can have reiatsu!"

"Yeah," muttered Shunsui, "but you have to admit it…this one does!"

What's going on? wondered the two.

Good, thought the hollow. Now they're confused!
