Ichigo called his men to order.

"Alright settle down!"

Everyone fell quiet at the command that was called.

"We have new recruits and I want you all to get along. You all know the rules and what will happen if you don't"

Everyone nodded and waited for the fresh meat to come in. Ichigo moved out of the way and the door off to his right open. Everyone stood at attention as the new recruits walked in.

"Be good and don't fight any fighters will be removed and they will be dealt with later on" Ichigo looked at his district once more before turning to the new recruits.

"I don't want anything coming from you guys. You may be new but you won't be acting like your high and mighty but I'm telling you now that I'm the only high and mighty one. What I say goes unless I up you on charge on a mission but I still expect you to listen to my orders" Ichigo turned around to let everyone talk and get to know each other.

"You weren't like this before. Last time I saw you, you were running away"

Mummers were heard all around the room and everyone looked at the teal haired man. Ichigo stopped and turned back around. He walked forward until he was toe to toe with the man.

"I was not. I was being dragged away and fucking tortured for the longest time and next time to talk like your higher then me I will make you step down" Ichigo hissed through clenched teeth.

No one knew of his past not even Yamaoto. It was hard when he was split from Grimmjow. He thought he lost the man he had loved and he didn't even fight back when people attacked him thinking it was the punishment he deserved. Now that he knew Grimmjow survived he wasn't so sure anymore.

Ichigo left the room and went back to his office. Sitting down in his chair with his head back.

"Captain Kurosaki?"

Ichigo looked up as Byakuya came in.

"Yes?"

"I just came to tell you that the new recruits that you sent me are doing fine" Ichigo nodded and sighed

"Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing that I can't handle captain Kuchiki"

The captain nodded then left. Ichigo was thankful that he left because he couldn't hold the tears anymore.

Ichigo laid in bed. He didn't want to get up. He was tired and his team didn't have any missions today so he planned to stay in bed all day. He sighed and rolled over, at least he could get changed because he was still wearing what he wore the other day.

Walking over to the bathroom. Ichigo looked into the mirror. His eyes were red and blotchy and his hair was messier then normal. Ichigo sighed loudly again this wasn't like him and he knew it. Stepping into the showers spray after stripping off his clothing. The water was warm on his back and he was loving it. Ichigo finished washing then dressed when a noise caught his attention.

Slowly moving to the door Ichigo opened it an inch or two and looked out. A man dressed in black walked around Ichigo's room looking for something. Ichigo quietly made his way out of the bathroom and behind the man. Right when Ichigo was about to jump him the man turned around. He shoved Ichigo out of the way and Ichigo fell on his ass.

The man turned and ran out his door and Ichigo sent out a call to everyone.

"District 5 has been breached. An intruder has been spotted. All hands at the ready"

Ichigo put the microphone down and ran out of his room. He knew that the intruder must have heard him because if not then that would be stupid. Ichigo was hot on his heals when others showed up.

It was ten on one and Ichigo was losing fast. He had taken down four but they were putting more damage on him then he was to them, but they were in his district and no one lost in his district. Ichigo's men came up behind him and started to fight back helping him.

The boy ran and pushed the doors open. There was a meeting going on but that didn't matter at the moment.

"Commander Yamaoto! We have a problem"

"We are having a meeting right now this must be very important"

"But sir it is. We have lost all communications with district 5 after the call of there being an intruder"

"Hmm that is a problem. How many intruders were spotted?"

"We don't know sir. All captain kurosaki said was there was an intruder. We had been in contact with a few of his men until the line went dead a while ago"

"Alright captains we are heading out bring some of your higher men and lest head over and be ready for anything'

It took a couple of minutes to head over but once there everything looked fine at the gate and there was no fights being sounded.

"Open the gate" Yamaoto called.

Once the door was up it was a different story. The building were crushed and in rubble. The walls had been taken down. People laid on the ground groaning in pain or just not wanting to get up. Others ran from one person to another checking them for injures. Others were just checking names off of a list to make sure that they were all there.

"Take him to the building we're using as a medical house"

"Captain kurosaki"

Ichigo looked down from where he was standing. He jumped down and walked over.

"Sir did the boy finally get to you?"

"What boy?"

"I sent one of my men you get you. Once our communications went down. I'm sad to say that they got away but I think my men did more of the damage. The intruders kept jumping around"

"Alright first we need to take care of the wounded and that includes you Mr. Kurosaki"

"But sir I'm not hurt and I'd like to stay here and make sure that things get cleaned up"

"Ichigo don't fight with us head out with the rest of the injured to district 4" Yamaoto said sternly.

Ichigo nodded then called out the order and walked away but his legs gave out and he fell.

"See this is why'

Ichigo sighed from the ground. Sure he hurt all over but he didn't care. He tried to stand up but his leg still couldn't support him. A hand came from behind and lifted Ichigo up. He looked over and Grimmjow held him in his arms. Out of all the people here it had to be him.
