Chapter 3

Rukia awoke under a tree in the field. She shoved Ichigo's body off of her arm. She rubbed her shoulder where the injection was made and looked around. It was really late. Rukia pulled Ichigo's body up onto her other shoulder and crept upstairs.

"Ichigo is that you?" said Dr. Kurosaki (Ichigo's dad).

Rukia jumped she forgot that Ichigo's dad was home. She was so surprised that Ichigo's body slipped from her grip and went tumbling down the stairs to the floor below. Rukia gasped and hurried into Ichigo's room before anyone saw her.

"Ichigo!" cried Dr. Kurosaki as he came running to see what the big noise was. He fell to his knees in front of Ichigo and shook it gently. But nothing happened, "I need to get him to the hospital!"

Suddenly the doorbell rang. He opened the door it was Rukia. She had climbed out of a window after talking with Kon. She was holding Ichigo's jacket for and excuse to be at the front door.

"Oh hello Dr. Kurosaki. I'm Rukia from Ichigo's school. He left his jacket so I came here to return it to him." she looked at Ichigo's body next to Dr. Kurosaki. She pretended to be shocked. She hurried past him and knelt at Ichigo's side and tried to act concerned. "What happened?"

"I don't really know." replied Dr. Kurosaki.

When he wasn't looking Rukia put a piece of soul candy into Ichigo's mouth. His eyes opened. "Rukia? How did I get down here?"

Dr. Kurosaki looked at his son with surprise. "You fell down the stairs don't you remember?"

"No." said Kon/ Ichigo (Kon is in Ichigo's body).

Rukia nudged him, and gave him a stern look.

"Er... Yes I do." said Kon/ Ichigo, "I'm just tired that's all I wasn't watching where I was going and I missed the last step."

Dr. Kurosaki looked down at his son with great concern. "Well you should stay home from school tomorrow. Just to see if you're going to be okay."

Rukia motioned upstairs.

"Um... I need to put my jacket upstairs." Kon/ Ichigo dizzily got up and climbed the stairs.

"I'll go to make sure that he doesn't kill himself by falling on something." Rukia got up and hurried after Ichigo.

There was a sound of breaking glass upstairs. A scream erupted, then quickly followed by more breaking glass. Dr. Kurosaki shot upstairs. Rukia was kneeling in the doorway of Ichigo's room. It was a mess. The window was smashed. Everything was scattered everywhere like a tornado had hit. Ichigo was nowhere to be seen.

Dr. Kurosaki stood there in shock. Finally someone broke the silence.

"I-Ichigo has been kidnapped!" cried Rukia.
