Chapter 2

By the time Rukia caught up with Ichigo he was already halfway into fighting the hollow. It looked like a giant sea urchin with legs. Rukia put Ichigo's body by a tree.

"Ichigo! Are you doing okay?" cried Rukia as Ichigo was stabbed at with needles that came from the hollow's body.

"Yeah!" yelled Ichigo in return.

He plunged his sword into the hollow. It got stuck. As Ichigo was trying to pull it out he was having dozens of needles being driven into him. Blood ran down his arms. Just then the hollow's tongue shot out from an opening on the top of it's body. It was long and pointy. It lashed out and stabbed Ichigo square in the chest, knocking him back. He pulled at it trying to get it out. He pulled out his sword and swung at it. Finally the tongue went back in the hole. Ichigo stood there swaying as he put his hand over his bleeding chest. His eyes closed with pain and collapsed to the ground. The hollow moved closer.

"ICHIGO!!" yelled Rukia trying to run forward to Ichigo but someone held her back.

"He's fine." said a deep male voice, "He's only knocked out from an injection."

Rukia's eyes widened as she saw the hollow split itself in half. Two hunters from the Soul Society emerged from the hollow. The picked up Ichigo and put him inside the hollow. They pushed a button on a remote control and the hollow transformed into a large suitcase. Rukia pushed away.

"We're here to arrest you." said the man.

Rukia grabbed Ichigo's body and ran.

"You let her get away!" yelled a young woman, "And she took the human's body with her."

"Don't worry." said the man I slipped her a sleeping injection while I was talking to her just incase. She won't get very far. Now everything is going as planned.
