"Why is he--?" She gasped in fear as Ulquiorra took out one of the shinigami by her side. The second one fell over as Ulquiorra shot him. He advanced closer to her; she was paralyzed with fear and couldn't move.
"You are to come back with me to Hueco Mundo" He said to her.
She protested but Ulquiorra had the upper hand. He threatened to kill her friends who were engaged in a battle with the other arrancar Ichigo and the others were fighting. Her eyes widened as she saw scenes of her friends practically the underdogs of the fight.
"I-I will…" She agreed quietly looking down.
Ulquiorra gave Orihime 12 hours for her to say goodbye to only one person. A bracelet was given to her, it enabled her to walk through solid objects but nobody would be able to see her. If anybody had sensed her she would've broken the rules since she wasn't allowed to let anybody know of her capture. She chose to say goodbye to Ichigo since she loved him the most. Even though he was asleep she still said goodbye with tears in her eyes. She noticed that his hand had been wounded quite seriously, so she restored it before leaving.

The next morning Ichigo woke up with a startle. He noticed his hand was taken care of as if nothing had happened to it at all. Hitsugaya Toshiro arrived at his window suddenly.
"Something's happened to Inoue, come quick!" He said quickly before leaving.
Ichigo left immediately to find out what was going on. The huge TV screen Hitsugaya and Rangiku had put in Orihime's home showed Ukitake on screen. The transmission said that Orihime had left Soul Society but never showed up at Earth at all. They believed that she had been killed or kidnapped. Nonetheless they figured that she had betrayed Soul Society.
"How can you say that?!" Ichigo yelled in rage. "She's not dead, see this?" He put up his hand where the wound was. "Only Orihime could've healed it, she's not dead!" Ichigo proved his point.
"Hitsugaya-taichou, your group will leave for Soul Society immediately" Yamamoto continued on.
Just as he ordered Hitsugaya, the gate leading to Soul Society appeared behind them.
"T-Taichou!" Ikkaku gasped as he saw his captain as well as Byakuya step out.
They really had no choice if they had wanted to leave or not as the two captains acted as escorts back to Soul Society. So basically they had been taken back by force. Ichigo was told to go back with them but he refused saying that he would save Orihime whether or not Soul Society was with him.

"Geez you guys sure know how to ruin our freedom" Tori pouted as she and the rest of the group arrived back in Seireitei.
"No kidding, for once we get to leave this dump and then you take us back with force!!!" Mika agreed shooting glares at the two captains.
They didn't care; it was orders from Yamamoto so they had to follow it.
"In other news, I kicked Renji's butt again!!!" Mika cheered, Renji grumbled something as the others tried to hold back their laughter.
"Gee thanks for rubbing it in" Renji muttered in disgust. Mika patted his back saying once again, that he would be able to defeat her…someday. Ikkaku then challenged her to a battle even though he had lost to her before but that was once. She accepted the battle would take place at noon.
"Why do we have to do work?" Mika whined slamming her head on her desk.
"I thought you liked work" Ukitake said quite surprised at her sudden behavior.
"No I don't!! What crackpot told ya that?!" She asked back. He blinked in confusion, muttered something and ignored her.
"So how was it without us?" Tori asked the people in the room.
"It was quiet" Ukitake stated simply.
"And boring" Rina added on slumped on her chair, chin on her desk.
"So watcha do?" Tori asked shoving off all the papers on her desk, tipped her chair back and put her feet up.
"Nothing much" Rina answered boredly.
"What about everyone else?" Mika asked doing the same as Tori.
Ukitake twitched at the sight of the messiness already created from the two. Not even 30 seconds they were in the division and he already had a headache.
"Well let's see," he started staring up thinking of every event that had happened. "Kiyone and Sentarou are yelling as always, amazingly I was alive during this week" He stated sarcastically, Mika coughed earning her a suspicious look. "Yachiru is still going on about the stork and babies thing" Tori smirked at the thought. "And…oh yeah, Byakuya chased Rina all over Seireitei" He concluded.
"What was Byakuya doing?" Tori asked Rina suspiciously rising from her desk, Mika advanced to her friend.
"Well he wanted to spar with me so that idiot woke me up at 6 AM and wouldn't leave the door until I agreed, so we went out to Rukongai to fight and whaddya know? His rabid fan-girls were there. He assumed I set him up so he chased me all over threatening to tickle me. He got me twice though but I punched him in the head so I'm good" She replied.
"Yeah and Bya-chan smiled!!" Yachiru squealed with joy appearing from nowhere.
"Yachiru? What're you doing here?" The 3 girls asked in unison. All of the sudden, the women of the Shinigami Women's Association poured into the room.
"What's going on?" Mika asked looking around.
"I declare this Women's Meeting now under way!!" Yachiru declared slamming her gavel on the desk bringing forth the attention of everybody.
"You can't have a meeting here!!" Ukitake protested.
"Oh yeah, we need a piccy of you Uki-kun!!" Yachiru reminded every person in the room. He ran.
"Oh well, there's always next time" Hinamori said entering the room.
"Nice to see ya Hina-chan!" Mika waved.
"Thanks, it's nice to be back. Shiro-chan doesn't know that I'm awake yet so that'll be a surprise okay?" She winked.
"OKAY!!" Tori agreed giving a thumbs up.
"So as usual we're going to discuss the photo book. The results are in and whaddya know?" Nanao started.
"It's Rina's boyfriend!!" Yachiru squealed with delight.
"Boyfriend?" She asked clueless.
"Byakushi?" Yachiru replied acting as a know-it-all.
"Oh…boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend!!" Rina retorted.
"Yes you do!!! Oh whatever let's just decide who gets to take the picture" She decided.
"Make Rina do it!! She can make Byakuya smile so it makes sense!!!" Tori and Mika shouted out earning an icy glare from Rina.
"Ok so Rina you'll—"
"Oh would you look at the time, it's time for me to feed the moose bye!!" Rina quickly said and then ran out.
"HEY!!!"

"There is no way I am going to go on that stupid little mission" She muttered to herself as she walked back to wherever she was going. She felt a presence behind looked back and frowned. "Why do you always have to know where I am?" She pouted.
"I just do, why is there a problem with that?" Byakuya asked.
"Yes there is!! People think you're my boyfriend!!" She yelled.
"Aren't I?" He asked.
"NO!! Wehaven'tdeclareditsurewesaidthe3littlewordsbutitisn'tactuallyofficialandIhavenoideawhatI'msayingcuzyouaremyboyfriend!!" She said all in one breath all smooshed together.
"…What?" He asked not being able to understand her jumbled up words. It didn't matter anyways as she turned him around and pushed him back.
"You should be working anyways!!" She scolded while shoving him back to his division. They passed the room where the meeting was held, the door was open so the women saw them of course.
"I thought you were feeding the moose!" Mika said.
"It's 18:00, they don't get fed until 3945:00!!" Rina explained.
"…it's 18:00?! When's 3945:00?!" Mika asked the group who just shrugged.
"…18 o'clock and 3945 o'clock…never heard of em" Byakuya stated who started to walk much to Rina's relief.
"Me neither"
---
"What should we talk about now?" Hinamori asked.
"Uh…how bout bunnies?" Nemu suggested.
"BUNNIES!!!!!" Rukia squealed. "I was on Earth the other day and Ichigo told me there's this holiday called Easter!! And there's actually two: Easter Sunday and Easter Monday!!" She explained nearly jumping up and down from excitement. "Anyways, there's this mascot called the Easter Bunny. But that didn't sound too exciting, so from now on in Soul Society, he is now called…" She gasped for air.
"Drum roll please!!" Yachiru called, everyone stomped their feet on the floor and/or slammed their hands on the desks. A drum rolled by...
"The BUNNY GOD!!!" She declared. Everyone cheered and gave a standing ovation.
"When's Easter Ruki? I wanna write it down!!" Yachiru clapped with glee.
"The 2nd Sunday and Monday of April (A/N: I think...)" She answered as Yachiru marked it down on her calendar that had somehow appeared in her hands.
"What're you guys cheering about?" Rina popped her head into the meeting once she made sure Byakuya wasn't gonna ditch work and stalk her.
"The Bunny God!!!" They all yelled out with excitement.
"BUNNY?!!!! WHERE?!!" Rina had a huge obsession of bunnies like Rukia.
While the gleeful shouts of bunnies were happening with the women's meeting, the men were quite annoyed and wanted to know what the hell they decided to use as a topic.
"What's wrong with you people?!" The men of 11th Division yelled out in frustration. "K-Kusajishi-fukutaichou!!" They stammered and bowed once they saw their lieutenant.
"What are we? Chopped liver?" Mika huffed.
"Kurai-dono! Tsukiyomi-dono! Shinboku-dono! Kurotsuchi-fukutaichou! Soifon-taichou! Kotetsu-fukutaichou! Kotetsu-dono! Kuchiki-dono! Matsumoto-fukutaichou! Hinamori-fukutaichou!" They all yelled out in hopes of living a day without pain.
"…dono?" They all asked in unison not used to such formality. "Cool…"
"H-Hinamori-fukutaichou?! You're up!!" They exclaimed.
"Shh!!" She shushed. "I don't want Shiro-chan to know yet!!" She whispered, they automatically shut up and swore an oath that they wouldn't tell him. Yachiru soon drove them out as she remembered that she had planned a tea party with them. They of course ran out, Yachiru followed them; the meeting was ditched.
"What now?" Kiyone asked.
"I dunno, what else happened when we were gone?" Mika asked.
"Well, Yachiru asked Byakuya what pregnant meant" Isane spoke up.
"You serious?!" Basically all of the women asked. Isane nodded.
"Oh my god this reminds me the time when we were learning what tampons were in health class!!" Matsumoto laughed.
"Oh yeah…you should've seen Renji's face!" Mika pointed out laughing.
"Forget that, you should've seen taichou's!! His face was as white as his hair!" Matsumoto fell over laughing, rolling on the floor with tears pouring out.
"Somebody get a strait jacket and arrange her to be put in a padded room" Rukia whispered over to Isane.
Luckily Yachiru wasn't there at all, if she was she would've started spewing out unanswerable questions that she shouldn't be learning or knowing about at her age.

"Ok Ikkaku, you ready cuz I am!" Mika shouted out to the world.
"Yeah, let's go to Rukongai cuz they won't let us here" He said quite whiny when he mentioned that they weren't allowed to fight in Seireitei.
"Uh, we can't" Rina spoke up.
"We can't?" Mika asked.
"Yeah…since that stupid Aizen and zanpakutou thing, we're not allowed to leave Seireitei…" She explained.
"What?!" Ikkaku yelled out.
"This is prison then!!" Mika added on.
"What should we do?" Tori ask.
"Easy" Renji said. "We, rebel against the old geezer!!" He thundered the sky suddenly turned dark with lightning crashing in the background.
"Can we have the light back on now?" Mika asked boredly from the pitch-black darkness.
"Oh ok" Renji sighed. "Hey!!" He called out.
The screen with the dark backgroundrolled away…and the lights (actually the sun O.o) flicked back on
"This place is weird"
