Chapter 4

"By who?" asked Dr. Kurosaki.

"I don't know." said Rukia.

"I'm going to call the police." He ran down stairs to the phone.

Rukia got up and walked among the ruins of Ichigo's room. She spotted a note addressed to he on Ichigo's pillow. She opened it and it said...

We have what you want and you have what we want. So let's make a little trade. Either turn yourself in and the human goes free or, we find you by ourselves, throw you in jail and make you watch us torture the human to death then do the same to you. Pick what you like you have two days. But by the time you get this you will be down to one day so we suggest you reply soon. But, pick very quickly because every minute that ticks by will cause a great deal of pain to the human. But no answer we will choose which one that we want. And we think that you can guess which one.

Soul Hunters

She opened a small ball of paper that was attached to the letter. The soul candy that contained Kon was inside. She saw Kon's bear in the corner. She put the candy in it's mouth.

"AAH!!" screamed Kon, "Don't hurt me!" Kon opened his eyes, "Rukia!" He ran to her and hugged her leg, "I-I'm s-sorry... I couldn't stop them. They took him."

"It's okay...I'll get him back." said Rukia, "I know what to do"

"As you know our dear Ichigo Kurosaki is missing." said the teacher, Orihime burst into tears, "Well please class turn to page 294 to go over your homework..."

"Well there's no homework tonight so enjoy the night off." said the teacher as the students walked out of the classroom.

Rukia ran to the field where Ichigo was captured. She pulled Kon out of her bag.

"Helloooo Rukia!" said Kon gazing starry-eyed at her. Rukia had put him in a mouse's body.

Rukia put Kon in a box and picked up a tracking device. She stared at the little red dot that stood for Ichigo. He was in an old run-down jail 40 miles away. Rukia picked up her things and started running to the jail.
