Yes, I'm updating, yet again within a short time place. I've been glomped and hugged. Those make me go faster, as do reviews. However, this chapter kept flashing through my head. So I'm putting it up.

Chapter 5

- - - - - - - - - -

The small group of 4 arrived on the execution grounds of Soul Society. Ichigo came first, followed by Hitsugaya, Rukia, and Nemu. Kurotsuchi was waiting for them eagerly, along with five high seated members of his squad.

"Ah, here he is... Go get him Koyama, Iwaya." Kurotsuchi glared at his fourth seated officers.

Koyama slowly walked toward Ichigo, looking very nervous. He took out a pair of hand-cuffs with his shaking hands, and put them on Ichigo.

"Why the fuck do I have to wear these Kurotsuchi?" asked Ichigo, getting angry.

"Simple, Vaizard. I don't want you running around here if you escape with your reiatsu usable." answered Kurotsuchi.

"Damn... you..." Ichigo slowly retorted, as he suddenly started to get very tired. He looked at his right shoulder, where some pain was beginning to build. Iwaya stood there, with his sword in Ichigo's shoulder. The zanpakuto had been trusted into his upper back, just below the collar bone, and protruded out of his chest.

Ichigo fell forward, unconscious.

"What... the... hell... Kurotsuchi taicho?" demanded Rukia, shocked.

"Kuchiki, want to join him? I'll dissect you just for fun, if you don't watch your mouth." spat Kurotsuchi irritated.

"Ha... hai."

"Good girl. Iwaya, drag the specimen back to the labs before he wakes up."

"Hai, Kurotsuchi taicho."

Rukia looked like she was going to attack Kurotsuchi, but a scream got released by Iwaya before she could do anything. Iwaya was on his back, unconscious.

"Heheh... that lil' trick won' work on us."

Rukia looked even more shocked, however, this was also mixed with fear. Every time she heard that voice, fear erupted from her body. Hitsugaya looked confused, at Ichigo's voice change. Kurotsuchi on the other hand, had a look of complete fascination on his features.

"Koyama, restrain the Vaizard."

"Sir...?"

"Now." Kurotsuchi stated, venomously.

"Hai."

Koyama ran at Ichigo with his zanpakuto. Ichigo dodged his attack, and kicked Koyama in the back. He stumbled, and fell. He groaned, as Ichigo kicked his ribs, before he passed out. Ichigo picked up the discarded zanpakuto, and cut the chain, so his hands were movable. However, despite the now increased mobility, his reiatsu was still restrained.

"Damn cuffs." Ichigo/Kuroji cursed to himself.

Hitsugaya had taken the liberty of the distracted vaizard, and swung Hyourinmaru at Ichigo. This didn't work, since Ichigo grabbed the blade.

"What's the rush, runt?"

"Who are you?"

Black and golden eyes glance at the confused and shocked captain. Hitsugaya flinched at the now blood thirsty eyes of Ichigo/Kuroji.

"Well, your Ichigo calls me Kuroji. I guess ya could call me tha'." answered Kuroji.

"So, what do you intend on doing? Now that you're free?"

"Well, Ichi-kun would ge' mad at me if I went and killed a few people, so, I'll settle with gettin' the hell away from creepy over there." said Kuroji, indicating Kurotsuchi.

"We can't let you do that." stated Hitsugaya.

"Yes, that would be hazardous. Not to mention, you run the risk of getting the body more damaged." Kurotsuchi appeared infront of Kuroji, with Ashisogi Jizou, his zanpakuto. Kurotsuchi, then slashed Kuroji's stomach, which caused him to fall, face-down in the dirt.

"Gad damn you, creepy." coughed Kuroji.

Kurotsuchi laughed. "I get that a lot." He then turned to Nemu. "Carry this troublesome lump of flesh!"

"Hai, Mayuri-sama."

She bent over, and lifted the body, but before she could, it was gone.

"Wha...what the fuck!" screeched Kurotsuchi.

"It's gonna take a lot more than tha' ta slow me down."

"What!"

Kurotsuchi jerked his head back, and Kuroji was 3 meters from him. His eyes then went to the movement going on with Kuroji's hands. Kuroji was taking off the cuffs, and threw them on the ground.

"How...?"

"I have ta thenk ya zanpakuto, Creepy."

"What!"

"Oh, and you too. Ya both helped me get these damned things off."

Kurotsuchi, started to shake, by anger. He flash stepped, and appeared just infront of Ichigo. However, Ichigo was already a few yards away from him.

"Ya too slow, Creepy."

Kuroji took out Zangetsu, and held it with his right hand, while the wrap was in his left.

"Damn you." mumbled Hitsugaya.

"Oh, ya still here Runt taicho?"

Hitsugaya charged at Kuroji.

"Soar in the frozen sky, Hyourinmaru!"

He jumped, and a large ice dragon materialized. The temperature began to drop, significantly.

"He thinks a lil ice lizard is gonna hurt us, Ichi-kun."

Hyourinmaru came right at Kuroji, who flash stepped out of the way. He appeared just behind Hitsugaya.

"Getsuga Tenshou!"

A huge black blast of energy was released, and hit the air-born captain. He hit the ground, and caught himself after a couple of bounces. Kuroji, on the other hand, landed gracefully. While everyone was focused to Hitsugaya for a second, Kuroji flash stepped, and was no longer in the vicinity.

"Hitsugaya taicho, Kurotsuchi taicho!" Rukia voiced as she ran toward them. "Ichigo ran away!"

"What!" yelled Kurotsuchi.

"When our attention was drawn to Hitsugaya taicho, he used shunpo to run."

"Damn it." said Hitsugaya. "With that much power, running loose in Soul Society, who knows how many shinigami's could be harmed."

He got up slowly, and glanced at Kurotsuchi.

"One of us needs to tell Yamaji-san about this."

"Your right." responded Kurotsuchi.

"I'll go." Rukia said.

"Not alone, you're not, Kuchiki. That thing is a hazard, and it might come after you. I'm going with you."

"Hai, Hitsugaya taicho."

"Okay, Kurotsuchi, you're in charge of getting that thing back into custody."

"With pleasure. Let's move it Nemu, you slow bitch!"

"Hai, Mayuri-sama."

Hitsugaya and Rukia ran off toward Yamaji's office, and Kurotsuchi and Nemu followed Kuroji's reiatsu.

Kuroji was going through the walk ways of Seireitei ((or however ya spell it)). He is wandering around, and finds himself infront of the sixth squad's office area. Looking around, he can sense a few lower seated officers within, and one with a feeling of a vice-captain. He hides his reiatsu, and jumps onto the roof. Kuroji sits at the top, and looks around.

"Tch, this place is big..."

'I know that.'

"Ah, so you're awake now, eh, Ichi-kun?"

'Yes, now get back here.'

"Why? I'm havin' fun ou' here."

'Kuroji...'

"Ya, Ichi-kun?"

'Get back here, now!'

"You are ruinin' my fun, Ichi-kun."

'Just do it, dammit!'

"Hai, hai. Just so ya know, if Creepy comes anywhere close, I'm takin over again."

'Now.'

"Tch. Ya still ain't relaxed."

'Kuroji...'

"Ya?"

'Please, release me.' Ichigo whispered suductively in Kuroji's ear.

"Ya drive a hard bargain."

'Come on...'

"Accepted."

'Good.'

Ichigo blinked and he was back in control. He looked around to see where he was.

'I took us ta the 6th squad office, Ichi-kun.'

"Thank you, Kuroji. I'll make it up to you when I get the chance."

Ichigo jumped off the roof, and headed away from the office.

"Is that you, Ichigo?" a voice from the closed door asked.

Ichigo turned around to Renji opening the sliding door.

"I thought I heard you, I just wasn't sure. What brings you here, of all places?"
