The school day had just finished. Ichigo was sitting under a tree when he was Rukia. His eyes flicked upwards as her cell phone rang. Her face turned deadly serious and she spoke quickly and quietly. Ichigo's eyebrow twitched upwards as he slowly rose to a standing position. His eyes narrowed as she ran down the street with her face grim. Then he could hear it. Screeching.

Ichigo sprinted after Rukia. He was right behind her when she suddenly flew back into him. After he had caught her he saw something else. Another Rukia was sprinting towards a monster in a white mask. She was wearing black samurai robes. Ichigo's eyes widened with shock.

Rukia ran towards the Hollow when she heard someone cry out. She quickly looked behind her to see Ichigo. He was holding her gigai. She was shocked. He was staring right at her. Rukia opened her mouth to tell him to run, but instead she found her knees had been knocked from under her. The hollow was attacking her.

Rukia rolled off the ground in a tight ball and landed on her feet. Her intense violet eyes stared down the beast. Drawing her sword Rukia muttered "Shinkai" under her breath. Immediately her katana began glowing white, and in a flash of light, it was totally transformed. In the blinding second, her katana had morphed into a white sword. Snow began to drift down from the heavens. She was ready.

Rukia began building her spirit energy and she attacked; a ferocious double slash to the hollow's head. The hollow blocked both of them carelessly. Damn she thought to herself. Gathering up her spirit energy once again, her eyes widened as she said, "Bankai."

Her spirit energy made an explosion. Ichigo put an arm over his head to shield himself from it. It didn't work. Sand stung his eyes as he struggled to figure out what was going on. Then he saw it. Rukia had an amazing sword. Just by looking at it seemed to draw Ichigo towards it. It was beautiful. The handle had turned golden and was radiating. The blade was still pure white, but it had strange runes on the flat side of it. They were glowing a blue-silver color.
Ichigo snapped back to his senses and dragged Rukia's body into a safe place. He watched, hidden, as Rukia began to attack the hollow. Five times Rukia slashed. Five times the Hollow was cut. The hollow looked desperately at something to distract him. It saw Ichigo through the wall and snaked towards him. Ichigo's eyes widened as he saw the monster coming towards him.

The hollow picked up Ichigo in a claw and morphed into a giant dragon. Its ferocious eyes looked at Rukia and said, "Now I'm going to kill him."

Rukia's eyes widened as Ichigo was picked up. He was screaming and swearing but the monster never winced. Its nails extended until they the sizes and shapes of katanas. It grinned and was about to plunge them into Ichigo when Rukia came to the rescue. Quickly using shunpo she intercepted the blow…into herself. Her whole body went numb as the claws pierced her. Her eyes widened as the color was draining from the world. Dizzily, she looked at Ichigo. His face was shocked and he was silent. The hollow flung them both to the ground.

"Rukia…" Ichigo's voice echoed in her head. He grabbed her shoulders.

"Ichigo…take my zanpakuto." Eyes wide, Ichigo took her sword by the golden handle.

"Impale yourself with it." Rukia said with difficulty. "You will get my powers."

Nodding dumbly, Ichigo took the sword and thrust it through his stomach. A strange, warmth spread through his body and he was raised onto the ground. He examined himself and found that he the injuries he had accumulated during the battle were gone. The most shocking part was…he had black robes and a huge sword in his hand.
