Thank you to nekosaru for: Reviewing, Fav-ing, and putting this on their alerts (wow a bonus!) Well chappie 10 and the end of the Soul Society Arc

Renji raced down the hill clutching Rukia tightly. "I can't believe he actually threw me!" Rukia whined for the 3rd time. It had really frightened her when Ichigo flung her towards Renji who was far from ready.

"Yeah…well it's Ichigo…you're just lucky I caught you" Renji said back to her.

"Yeah and if you missed you would be dead!" Rukia replied just grateful to be alive.

Ichigo was engaged in a battle with Byakuya, their reiatsu levels were outstanding, anybody that had very little or no spiritual power would instantly faint. Yoruichi and Soifon were exchanging blows to one another; it was quite a match to watch. Ukitake and Kyouraku were going against their sensei, Yamamoto Genryuusai-Shigekuni. Kaname was going against Zaraki but had to fall out as Zaraki was too much for him. Komamura stepped in to fight for his friend. Zaraki happened to slash Komamura's helmet revealing his true face—a fox/wolf face. Iba and Ikkaku were fighting as well but not to the death as many were. They merely fought in between sake intervals—more of a competition. Unohana and Isane arrived in time for Aizen's leave. They were enraged of course to see one of their most respected companions turn out to be a traitor. He and Gin left swiftly with smirks on their faces. Hitsugaya, Tori and Hinamori were tended to immediately as Isane contacted everybody of the Gotei 13 unfolding the unfortunate truth.

Renji and Rukia seemed to be at a safe distance away from any disturbances. They were proven wrong as they ran into Tousen. With a simple movement, Renji and Rukia were back where they had started--Soukyouku Hill.

"…What I'm going to tell you is the truth…" Isane started as she connected with everybody.

"…No way--!"

"Aizen-taichou!"

"…he…he said he wouldn't harm Hinamori…"

"Damn it--!"

Words couldn't describe their feelings and expressions were obviously of shock.

After being tended to, Tori, Rina and Mika met up on their way to Soukyouku Hill and bumped into Orihime's group. Yachiru had already decided to go on ahead to clear out any pests so it wasn't a surprise that she was already at the top of the hill. Ichigo's and Byakuya's battle was still going with both of their Bankai's unleashed. The immense spiritual held the group back from interfering.

---

"What--?!" Renji gasped as he recognized his surroundings.

"Abarai-kun, nice to see you! Now, put Kuchiki Rukia down and step away" Aizen said to him. Renji was hesitant of leaving Rukia to Aizen as he had heard Isane's words. He wasn't going to hand her over without a fight.

"HOERO, ZABIMARU!!!" he roared as Zabimaru shot out at Aizen. Aizen smirked as he dodged easily; Zabimaru came flying towards him again. He held a hand out and easily blocked Zabimaru—he then tore Zabimaru into pieces. Renji couldn't believe it, he was a captain and it was to be expected but his power was so much different than any other captain. It was Aizen's turn to go on the offensive; he landed a wound on Renji causing him to slump over.

"Renji--!" Rukia worried for her friend, she felt responsible for her friend's wounds. Aizen approached them with his sword ready, he swung down meeting metal.

"Ichigo!" Renji and Rukia were relieved to see him.

Both men teamed up to take down Aizen, Renji used a special technique with the pieces of Zabimaru letting Ichigo get a blow on Aizen. It was futile as Aizen was able to escape Renji's attack, he stopped Zangetsu with one finger with his other hand he slashed Ichigo's side. Ichigo was immobilized; Aizen walked over to Renji slashing him once more immobilizing him as well. Rukia couldn't move at all, she had just witnessed 2 of her friends cut down and now Aizen was in front of her. He lifted her up into the air, and with a single jab he retrieved a small jewel from Rukia's soul. She collapsed from the sudden intrusion. The hole in her chest started to reform, Aizen was surprised that her soul wasn't damaged in any way. He decided Rukia was no use to him anymore since their goal was the jewel—Hougyoku.

"Ichimaru…kill her" Aizen commanded. Gin released Shinsou, it shot out towards her. Blood splattered, but it wasn't Rukia's for she was out of Aizen's grasp.

"N-nii-sama!!" Rukia gasped as she saw her brother covered in his own blood. He had saved her taking the blow from Shinsou. The blade had nearly punctured his heart, Gin called Shinsou back with a frown.

Aizen was disappointed with the intruder and decided to kill Rukia himself. He walked over ready to strike her down. A wall of fire erupted before him, blocking him from moving, seconds later Soifon and Yoruichi came in. Soifon had Suzumebachi up to his neck while Yoruichi prevented him from drawing his sword. Gin decided to help Aizen out until Matsumoto caught him. Tousen was caught as well from his lieutenant. It wasn't long before the rest of the Gotei 13 showed up. Mika caught sight of Renji on the ground bloodied…again.

"What an idiot!" Mika grumbled. Rina had a hint of worry on her face as she saw Byakuya barely being able to stand.

Aizen smirked at the sight and mumbled something. Yoruichi caught on quick and told Soifon to release Aizen immediately. He was engulfed in a yellow light, the same happened to Gin and Tousen.

"Wha…What is that--?!" Oomaeda asked shocked looking up at the sky. Everybody looked up and saw a rip in the sky. In the rip were Menos Grandes'. Aizen, Gin, and Tousen were lifted off the ground from the lights.

"OH MY GOD!!! I KNEW IT!!! ALIENS EXIST!!!" Mika yelled out pointing accusingly at Aizen.

"You sure know how to ruin a serious moment…" Nanao grumbled.

"Yeah I know!" Mika said taking it as a compliment.

"That wasn't supposed to be a compliment!!" Matsumoto yelled out completely forgetting about Gin who was in mid-air.

"Oh whatever she can take it as a compliment if she wants to!!" Kiyone yelled out.

"Exactamundo!!" Mika said back.

"Hey that rhymes with Hueco Mundo!!" Tori exclaimed.

"And that's where were going!!!" Aizen yelled back reminding them of his existence.

"Oh yeah…" A number of people said.

"…Ahem…anyways like I was saying…" Aizen went on and on.

"How long do serious moments last?" Rina asked her friends who just shrugged. A few minutes of blabbing on and on about how he was superior and blah, blah…

"Have fun in Hueco Land!!" Mika waved not noticing the seriousness in the problem.

"Don't forget to write!!" Tori added on.

"Uh…can you repeat that first part?" Rina asked.

"And the last part?" another shouted out.

"And the middle part?" another asked. Gin slapped his forehead and motioned to Aizen 'no!' Aizen didn't answer at all; the 3 disappeared with the Menos into Hueco Mundo.

Members from 4th Division scrambled around trying to get to the wounded. Ichigo was harmed but Orihime had taken care of it. Renji was treated and ready to be sent back to 4th Division's HQ. Mika decided to tag along in case he woke up, there was something she wanted to say to him—and it wasn't good. Something about a lecture of using his Bankai too soon. Tori had already gone back to 4th Division to check on Hitsugaya and Hinamori, their wounds were more serious. Byakuya was still under going his treatment, Rukia had to be held back by Rina and other shinigami. She was concerned for her older brother's condition. Komamura shoved all of his attendants away telling them he was fine even though his wounds hadn't quite been taken care of. Luckily for those who were panicky and unsure as to what to do, Unohana arrived. She noticed the condition of the people on the hill; Ichigo didn't need any help from them as she saw Orihime's technique. She went over to Byakuya who had sustained more life-threatening wounds. His wounds had however been taken care of so that he could talk easily. Unohana knew who he had wanted to talk to, she called Rukia over immediately. He had called for Rina too but she was busy talking to her captain about something.

"Rukia…" he managed to say weakly.

"I'm right here" Rukia said to him with a mournful face.

"There's something I have to tell you…"

"Huh?"

"40 years ago…my wife passed away"

"I know, Hisana-sama died and I was adopted in because I looked like her"

"That was…the lie I told everyone to tell you"

"What?" She asked with a surprised look.

"Hisana…was your older sister"

Byakuya began explaining Rukia about her sister, how she would search for her everyday. Even after she was married into the family she continued to look for her until she fell ill. The illness was worst than many had thought.

.:Flashback:.

"Byakuya-sama…please…find my sister. And when you do…don't tell her that I'm her sister. I abandoned her; I don't feel that I have any right to be called her older sister…" She said weakly to Byakuya at her side.

"Don't talk, you should worry about your condition" He said to her. She gave him a weak smile, knowing that her time was almost up she said her last words to him.

"These past 4 years have been like a dream to me…I'm sorry I couldn't repay you with all the love you've given me…" She said before her eyes closed.

"Hisana…"

.:Flashback:.

The illness which people had thought was more of depression. Being separated from her sister and the guilt that had built up over time had been too much for her.

Byakuya shifted his eyes towards Ichigo's body. He silently thanked him in his mind. "Rukia…I'm sorry…" He apologized to her as the sun began to sink leaving an orange glow in the sky. He shifted his gaze towards Rina; she was on her own staring up at the sky as if she could see something there. He wanted to talk to her but in his condition, he couldn't reach her; he decided to wait til a later time. Everyone on the hill was then told to return to their divisions, they had to remain stable allowing no sign of weakness. Most of the wounded were able to leave the cover of 4th Division quite soon. Of course they returned to their normal state—normal is usually cranky and just... yeah you get the point.

"WAH!!" A man yelled as he flew through a window.

"Alright who's next?!" Ikkaku asked proudly as his head shined brightly. No answer from the people in the room with him. They were grateful that their 3rd seat had recovered but they dreaded training with him. Every time they had practice, he'd win—he wasn't the 2nd strongest man in their division for nothing.

"I guess I'll go" Ichigo said resting his bokutou on his shoulders. Ikkaku seemed to be interested as they had just recovered and were recuperating from their wounds. "Actually I wasn't sick, I was just wounded." Ichigo said.

"Recovering from a sickness and a wound is recuperating you idiot!" Ikkaku informed him.

"No it's not!" Ichigo yelled back to him.

"Ok then, what is it called then?" He asked him with a smirk.

"It's…I don't know"

"Hah!! You are an idiot after all!" Ikkaku said to him laughing at him.

Their little argument eventually turned into a fight, or was supposed to. Zaraki entered the room wondering what all the noise was about. Immediately everyone (except for Ichigo and Ikkaku) bowed in respect of their captain. His eye caught Ichigo.

"Ichigo, you're all better now?" He asked.

"Yeah" He answered. Ichigo went on about his wounds not being so serious he didn't realize Zaraki swung his sword down. "Uh…" He started when Zaraki cut his bokutou down. Zaraki was itching for a rematch and wasn't afraid to start in a place full of people.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" People yelled as his reiatsu overpowered them. Out of the smoke from the impact of Zaraki's sword, he noticed that he had hit the wrong person.

"Ken-chan!! He's going this way! This way!" Yachiru pointed at Ichigo's retreating figure.

"It sure is noisy in the morning" Yumichika sighed at the ruckus his division was going through.

"Well it's better than too quiet" Iba remarked.

"By the way, why are you here?" Yumichika asked out of curiosity.

"Taichou, he wants to be alone right now."

---

Komamura was standing in front of the grave of Tousen's friend.

"Friend of Tousen whose name I do not know…what would you have said to stop him?" He wondered staring at the grave marker. He heard footsteps approach and looked back. Hisagi was approaching him; he looked up and bowed in respect.

"Komamura-taichou…do you think that Tousen-taichou will return?" Hisagi asked him.

"Let's hope so, we will open his eyes ourselves if we must" He answered.

---

"You always do that…disappear without telling me…" Matsumoto thought as she looked out the window. "You're such an idiot!" She sighed under her breath.

"Who is?" A voice asked.

"WAH!!" She shouted out in surprise.

"Taichou!! You frightened me!!" She said to him.

"Hiya Ran-chan!!" Tori waved as she popped up from behind Hitsugaya's back.

"Tori!! You recover fast don'tcha?" She asked her. Tori put her hands on Hitsugaya's snow white hair and leaned over hard.

"YUP!!"

"Um…Tori…" Hitsugaya mumbled, slightly annoyed that he was used as a balance of some sort. After all she was pretty much clinging on to him like Yachiru for the whole morning.

"Yeah Snowflake?" she asked looking down on him.

"Uh…never mind." He said quickly before turning his head away.

"Whatever!"

"By the way Matsumoto, you have a visitor." He informed her.

"A visitor?" She wondered.

"Yeah it's the guy with the unibang!" Tori told her.

"…Unibang?" She asked with a slight smirk; Tori nodded, she recognized who she was talking about.

Kira stood in front of the doorway with a quite sad look on his face (what else is new?). Matsumoto invited him for sake and sobamanjuu. They consumed it all without talking about their little problem with Gin.

"Uh…Matsumoto-san?" Kira asked intoxicated from way too much sake.

"Yeah?" She asked drunken.

"Whoa!! You guys are wasted!" Tori exclaimed from their drunkenness.

"I'm leaving" Hitsugaya said walking out of the room with Tori latched on his shoulder. He went to go see how Hinamori was doing. She hadn't woken up at all ever since the mishap with Aizen. She lay in critical condition; her survival relied on her own will power.

"Ya know, the fancy schmancy equipment make her a lot more fragile than she truly is" Tori remarked looking at the oxygen mask and the heart monitor. Hitsugaya agreed the green light that masked her body did indeed make her look 10 times more fragile. He turned around to leave.

"So soon?" A feminine voice asked. Unohana had expected him to remain longer.

"Yeah, you should say some words to her" Tori told him.

"I don't have any words for her—at least not yet; as the person I am at the moment." He said.

"Wha--?" Tori didn't quite understand his words.

"At the moment?" Unohana asked him. He didn't say anything but just left.

"Are you sure?" Tori asked him

"Yup"

"Really, really sure?"

"Yup"

"Really, really, really, really, really, really, really sure?" She asked him.

"Yup" he answered starting to get annoyed when she began to ask the same question again, and again…

"Tori!" He said sternly giving her a look.

"Shutting up!" She said resting her head on her hands. He sighed in relief. "Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really sure?" She asked quickly.

"Aww…" he groaned.

"Just kidding!" She chirped.

"Psh yeah right" He mumbled quietly to himself. He was right—unfortunately.

---

"INCOMING!!!"

"What?" Renji looked up in search of whoever had just yelled that out. Well he got his answer "Oof!! What the--? Mika?!"

"YO!"

"Can you get off my back?" He asked ever so kindly. She got off but tackled him again once he got up. "Aww…come on! I just recovered!" He whined.

"Oh yeah…" She remembered, sort of. She got off again, Renji got up making sure she wouldn't tackle him again. Well she didn't exactly tackle him, she glomped him from behind nearly knocking him over.

"Will you quit that?!" He asked really annoyed.

"Oh okay…" she sighed. "So whatcha doin?" She asked him innocently. He looked at her strangely but answered nonetheless.

"Gonna visit taichou" he answered.

"Ohh!! I sense yaoi!!"

"WHAT?!!" He asked enraged and slightly embarrassed.

"Joking!!" She said then flicked his forehead and ran off.

"I'm gonna get you back!!" He yelled shaking a fist. Mika ran to 13th Division and yelled a 'HULLOZ!' to everyone in the room.

"Hi?" Rina asked cautiously. "You're in a good mood" She noted.

"Yup, well I tackled Ren-Ren twice then I glomped him, he said he was going to visit Byakuya so I said that I sensed yaoi, um…then I flicked his forehead and ran off!" She said with a smile.

"Nice" She remarked after that sentence. The yaoi part was…disturbing-ish.

"Well I'm off now!" She declared.

"Where ya going?" Rina asked her.

"To the hospital to…I dunno bug Ren-Ren some more bye!" She waved then dashed off to 'visit' Renji.

"This'll be interesting" Rina said then followed Mika. People who were in the room at the time were like 'What?' they shook their heads and continued with whatever they were doing.

---

"Hey Byakuya, Renji!" Ichigo shouted into the room suddenly.

"HEY!! I was just going to say something cool!!" Renji yelled at him.

"Uh…sorry? Do you guys know where Rukia is?" He asked after somewhat apologizing to Renji.

"No…why?"

"Did you find her Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime piped up.

"Inoue! How'd you--? Oh never mind, its okay if you guys don't know, later Renji, Byakuya!" Ichigo said before leaping off.

"Bye Byakuya-san, Renji-kun!" Orihime jumped after Ichigo. Both men were quite stunned.

"Hiya Tako-chan!!" Mika shouted right after Ichigo and Orihime left.

"What the--? How do you know where I am all the time?" He asked.

"Iono…" She shrugged and went into deep thought.

'Yes!! This is my chance!' Renji schemed; he was going to get revenge on Mika. He dove over to her, unfortunately for him she moved to the side. Now since she was outside of the window, Renji plunged. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! CURSE YOU!!!" He yelled before landing on the ground with a big BOOM.

"Ya know you could've jumped off the wall!" Mika told him.

"…SHUT UP!!" He retorted realizing that he could've done that.

"Oh and by the way…YOU'RE A TOTAL IDIOT FOR USING YOUR BANKAI 15 MINUTES AFTER YOU MASTERED IT!!!!" She yelled at him.

"LIKE YOU HAVE A BANKAI!!" He retorted.

"YA WELL…um…THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOUR HEAD!!" She yelled pointing at his head.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! GET IT OFF!! GET IT OFF!!" He screamed running back and forth. He stopped abruptly and realized there was no spider; he looked up to see Mika laughing her head off. "MIKA!!!" He yelled infuriated, he jumped up and chased her.

"OH CRAP!!" she yelled then shunpoed as fast as she could to escape her red-headed octopus.

"What did I do to deserve this?" Byakuya asked himself after witnessing the cat and mouse game.

"Well it's Mika and Renji what did you expect?" Rina asked climbing over the windowsill.

"Rina?" He asked slightly surprised.

"Who else?" She asked stopping with her arms over the windowsill.

"You could've walked in by using the door…" He notified her.

"Yeah…what's your point?" She asked him.

"Uh…never mind"

"Okay" she shrugged then jumped into his room.

"NO!! NOT TORTURE TAG ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" Rina and Byakuya could hear Renji beg to Mika as a game of their game of tag erupted. "OWWW!!!" He yelped.

"Getting hurt by a girl a lower rank than you is just sad." Byakuya said.

"Don't you go all acting smug, the next thing you know you're gonna get hurt by a girl that's a lower rank than you." Rina warned him.

"Like who?" He asked not believing her. She punched him in the side of the arm. "…Shut up" he said rubbing his arm.

"Sad isn't it?" She mocked. He gave her a piercing glare. "Okay, shutting up now!" She said then sitting on the edge of his bed. He looked away as the two sat in silence. "Ya know you are a softy right?" She asked all the sudden with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"Well you saved Rukia! Duh!"

"You kept telling me to, what was I supposed to do?" He asked her back.

"No I didn't! I just asked why you wouldn't save her!" She retorted as he couldn't whip up an excuse. He looked away from her while she smirked at his reaction. "Told ya so!"

---

As the day faded out and the night took over, well you could say it was a scavenger hunt. Renji and Mika were looking for Rukia, Ishida was looking for Orihime, and Zaraki was searching for Ichigo. Their departure would be the next day so the gate to their world was set up for them. An average sized group showed up the next day to say goodbye to 'Soul Society's Saviors'. Before leaving, Ukitake handed Ichigo a badge with a skull on it. It was basically a replacement for Kon since the badge allowed Ichigo to become a shinigami any time he needed to. Since the gate was opened in Soul Society, their journey back would be much easier right? Wrong! It was no different, even with the shinigami's help.

"Should we have told them, the journey back would be no different than when they came here?" Tori thought out loud.

"Nah…they'll find out on their own." Rina answered her.

"By the way…" Ukitake turned to them.

"You guys weren't playing Jenga by any chance were you?" He asked suspiciously.

"W-What ever gave you that idea?" Mika asked nervously.

"Oh nothing…it's just that…there's a hideous structure swaying dangerously!! And it's made up of buildings!!" He answered.

"Oh…its still there?" Tori asked. He nodded not impressed.

"I'll get rid of it!!" Tori volunteered. "Kiritsukeru, Hitofuki!!" She released her zanpakutou sending a huge blast of air at the dangerously swaying structure.

"Don't you think you've overdone it?" Rina asked her over the howling winds. She had basically started a windstorm; she then silenced the wind.

"Don't tell me you've been behind all those windstorms last month!!!" Ukitake asked.

"Maybe…" She said then dashed off before interrogation could start.
