Chapter 6

Rukia eased herself out of the window and jumped. She landed next to Ichigo. He had just gotten a fresh cut on the back of his head from a sharp object that was embedded in the ground. Rukia looked at it closely. A tiny red light tuned on. Sirens started wailing and lights flashed on. Rukia grabbed Ichigo and ran.

Rain poured down as Rukia sped down the road. She was drenched with rain and Ichigo's blood. She could hear Ichigo inhale shaky breaths of air.

"Come on Ichigo. You can make it. Don't die." whispered Rukia, "We're almost there."

Rukia tripped on a curb and fell onto the pavement. Ichigo fell into a puddle next to her. A pair of feet walked in front of Rukia. It was Renji Abari.

"Hello Rukia." said Renji smirking down at her, "I see that our little tracking device worked."

"What do you mean?" asked Rukia struggling to get up. Renji had put his foot on her back to keep her from getting away.

"When that human got cut, a tracker was implanted into his head." Renji walked over to Ichigo and pulled out a small metal rod from Ichigo's cut, "I can't wait to tell your brother that I was the one to killed you." Renji pulled out his sword and swung it at Rukia. She collapsed holding her bleeding shoulder. "Prepare to die Rukia Kuchinki!!"

He held his sword above his head and brought it down with all of his strength. Rukia rolled out of the way escaping with a large cut on her leg. Her eyes widened as Renji got ready to finish her off. Rukia tried to move but he had put a binding spell on her. She closed her eyes and screamed as sword came down on her. Blood splattered everywhere. Rukia opened her eyes to find Ichigo struggling to keep standing. He had taken the sword hit. His eyes closed in pain. Tears streamed out of his eyes. He gasped for breath. The sword had gone straight through his chest. Ichigo screamed as Renji kicked him off his sword. Just then an arrow whizzed past Ichigo fell to the ground. It hit Renji in the shoulder. He fell to his knees and turned into a butterfly. He quickly flew away.

"He will be back." said a voice.
