I'm really sorry that this took so long! This is the last chapter of 'Hostage'. I hope you enjoy it!!
The moon was half covered by the time Ichigo and Rukia reached the Grand Fisher. He was waiting in the park just like he said.
"Hello sonny, I will enjoy devouring your soul tonight." said the Grand Fisher.
"Ichigo, be careful out there you can't afford to get hurt even more." said Rukia.
"I will try." said Ichigo.
"Well this is your third time seeing me now you definitely must die." the Grand Fisher lunged towards Ichigo but, the soul reaper flew out of the hollow's reach. "I see that you have mastered flying." the Grand Fisher looked towards Rukia, "But, your girlfriend can't." Rukia tried to run from his grip but he caught her. She struggled to say a spell but the hollow held a large finger over her mouth.
"Rukia!" Ichigo flew forward and started to slash at the hollow try his hardest to free his companion.
The Grand Fisher grabbed Ichigo with his other hand and dug his nails deep into the orange haired soul reaper.
Ichigo cried out in pain as blood dripped from the fresh new holes in his chest. He tried to cut himself free but it was no use. The hollow shook Ichigo roughly making him drop his sword. He swore as it hit the ground. The Grand Fisher opened his mouth and held Rukia over it.
"I'm sorry Rukia." said Renji turning away. He knew what was going to happen next. The plan was working perfectly. "I really wish that it didn't have to end this way."
"Rukia no!!" screamed Ichigo.
"ICHIGO!" Rukia screamed as she was dropped into the hollow's gaping mouth.
"NO!" Ichigo's eyes burned with tears. He had lost another loved one to this monster. There was no way that he was going to let the Grand Fisher get away with it.
Ichigo's heart pounded in is chest causing more blood to flow from his wounds. His soul energy doubled causing as strong energy wave that made the Grand Fisher drop him.
"Wrasine!" yelled Ichigo, he soared high into the air. He quickly dived down and grabbed his sword.
"Well sonny you're all that's left to go." said Grand Fisher, "Any last words?"
"I am not going to lose to you!" Ichigo charged forward but stopped short. A sliver of the moon was left letting just enough light to see where things were.
"Remember this?" the Grand Fisher waved his decoy in front of Ichigo's face. But instead of his mother or the girl it was of Rukia.
Ichigo stared at it stone-faced forgetting everything around him. As the moon became fully covered the decoy smiled at him. Something shot through his chest. As the moon was uncovered he realized that, he was being stabbed by the Grand Fisher's nails once again. Ichigo fell to the ground gasping and coughing.
"Wrasine!" cried Ichigo.
He hovered right in front of the hollow and drove his sword into the middle of his head. The Grand Fisher yelled and hit Ichigo away as he died. Ichigo smiled.
"That was for you mom, you to Rukia and okay Kon." Ichigo laid on the ground for a while. As he lay there the pain from his injuries started to spread though out his body. He watched the body of the defeated hollow disappear. "Wrasine." Ichigo hovered in the air. He stared down at the pool of blood that was forming below him. "I have to make it home."
Renji watched the soul reaper struggle to get home. He disappeared when he saw Ichigo collapse onto the pavement.
"Sir the mission was carried out and finished." said Renji walking up to Kinchiki.
"Good." said Kinchiki.
Renji walked away. Kinchiki turned and faced a window. A single tear fell from his cold eyes, "I'm so sorry Rukia."
Mr. Hat-n-Clogs stood over the dying soul reaper. He tried his best to heal him, but it was to late. He brought Ichigo back to his body. "We'll miss you Ichigo."
Ichigo opened his eyes a little and said with his last dying breath. "I can proudly face my mother now. The monster who killed her is gone." he smiled slightly as his last breath left him.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
The next day the doorbell rang. It was Mizuro.
"Hi is Ichigo ready to go to school?" asked Mizuro.
"I don't know I'll go see." Yuzu ran to Ichigo's room, "Ichigo are you awake? Mizuro's here." she opened the door. She walked over to Ichigo's body and shook it gently, "Ichigo wake up, it's time to go to school."
Sadly Ichigo would never wake up.
I really hoped you enjoyed reading 'Hostage'. I know that there were some really weird pairings in the story but they kind of fit together. I want to thank all the people who reviewed this story especially Hyou-kun for helping me with my chapter writing. I also want to thank all the people who have read this story. I really appreciate it. I hope that you will read some of my future stories.
