------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aww… Still sorry for all the confusion. NUUUUUUUU FORGIVE ME!!! (Sighs) I'm such a horrible author… FORGIVE MEEE!! PLZ! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!! ANYTHING!!!!!!!

" She's not here, Ichigo. We have to start tomorrow." Chad said. The substitute shinigami sat sprawled onto the ground, panting.
" No, she has to be here!" He moaned. " She has to!"
" She was probably kidnapped." Uryu adjusted his glasses.
" Well then, " Ichigo got up again, more determined than ever. " We'll just have to find her!" Orihime stood in the background watching this all miserably, then began to walk home. " It's all my fault, isn't it?" She whispered to herself. Her hairclips flashed, and Ayame appeared.
" Please don't say that!" She said gently. " You did nothing wrong! Rukia made a choice that you could not do anything to change." Orihime wiped a tear away.
" But now Kurosaki-kun's upset and I feel… helpless. Again!" She felt her vision become blurry as tears began to pour. Shun-o, Lily, Tsubaki, Baigon and Hinagiku all appeared in front of the girl as she entered her house.
" Cheer up! You can't let one thing ruin your life! And besides, none of it was your fault to begin with!" Shun-o smiled widely.
" Yes it was! If I weren't alive, then Kuchiki-san wouldn't be gone!" Orihime swallowed. Tsubaki rolled his eyes.
" Shut up, women. None of it was your fault, so stop whining. Besides, if you hurt yourself, we'll heal you whether you give the command or not." (They probably can't do that, but just say they can for the sake of the story! Can they…?) Orihime wiped away another tear and smiled weakly.
" Besides," Lily flew up. " If you wait, that special person you've been waiting for will find you!" Orihime smiled again, this time a lot more confidently.
" Right! Thanks, you guys!"

Rukia landed unevenly on the ground, panting. She was covered in bruises and blood, scratches covering her whole body. She nearly collapsed, wondering how it was that she was too weak to resist them. Rukia held up a hand.
" Damn, this gigai." She muttered. He managed to limp to a nearby bench. She had VERY clear orders, and she knew if she didn't obey…
----Flashback---
" Well what if I don't want to!" Rukia demanded. Obviously it was more of a statement then a question. Grimmjow laughed cruelly.
" You wouldn't dare, little shinigami. Trust me."
" Why would I ever trust you?" Rukia spat. Sereikiseki raised an eyebrow. Her blonde hair fell to the front, but her mask remained out of sight, covering only the back of her head.
" What would we DO?" Did you already forget what happened earlier? I could easily clone them, cause confusion, everything. And you've forgotten that's not the beginning of my abilities you little midget!" She grabbed Rukia by the neck. " Now, little girl, your orders are simple."
Rukia's indigo eyes widened.
---End Flashback---
As much as she wanted to resist, she was too weak to try to defeat them. Rukia had no choice but to listen to the Arrancar.
" Ugh…" She tried to lift herself, but failed miserably. Blood began to leak out from under her hand. A large, stinging cut on her palm prevented her from doing anything. Not able to bear the pain, she fainted.
" Rukia?"
-----------------------------------------------------
" Oh, good! You're up! Finally! I was getting bored of waiting, you midget." Rukia felt something poke her. It was a little hesitant at first, but then it felt harder… and harder… and finally…
" WHO'RE YA CALLING A MIDGET?" A hand shot out to grab Jinta by the shirt.
" Waaahh!!" Jinta yelled out loud, trying to free himself.
" EVERYONE QUIET!!" Tessai entered the room. Rukia winced and let the red haired boy fall as her hand reached to support herself. A sharp sting from touching the table reminded her of the cut. Rukia sat down rubbing her head. Urahara and Ururu entered.
" Well, well! Look who's back! Ichigo was worried sick about you!" he grinned. Ururu knelt down and began wiping her wounds.
" It's an awful lot of blood…" She whispered. Rukia sighed.
" Thank you."
Wait.
Did he say…?
Was it…?
" ICHIGO!" She bolt upright and despite the pain she shoved on sandals and ran out the door.
" What in the world is she doing?" Urahara asked in fake wonder.
" Why won't you tell us what's going on?" Jinta whined.
" Quiet!" Tessai bonked Jinta on the head. Ururu just stared after Rukia.
" Idiot."
