"Urahara-san! Yoru!" Mami said in sight of the two teachers.

"You`ve done a great job, leave the rest to us now, treat Ichigo and Azusa first." Yoruichi commanded and Mami quickly rushed over to Azusa as she new Ichigo had Tomomi.

"My cero!" Yammy said to himself. Uluquiorra and Mio had already stopped their battle in sight of the two lights.

"What did you do to it?" Yammy shouted pointing his finger at Urahara.

"I just negated it with something similar." Urahara replied

"What?" Yammy shouted.

"I'll let you see it again, cry Benihime." Urahara said as a red beam came out of his sword. Uluquiorra teleported in front of the stunned Yammy and fended it off with his already bleeding arm but took no damage.

"Our mission is completed, were leaving to report to Aizen-sama." Uluquiora announced hit Yammy hard so he would back off.

"Che, I'll finish this off next time." Yammy announced before the teleported off.

Yoruichi walked over to Tomomi and a fainted Ichigo.

"Here, try and put this down his throat it should be better until we reach the clinic." Yoruichi said giving a pill to Tomomi. Urahaha started to clean up the area so that there weren`t any blood stains. Then Yoruichi went over to Mio, Azusa and Mami.

"Azusa, can you swallow this?" Yoruichi asked and she nodded. She swallowed the pill as Mami and Mio picked her up and carried her to the clinic. Yoruichi did the same with Ichigo leaving Urahara and Tomomi following and guarding them.

They reached the school clinic where Unohana usually worked in and placed Ichigo and Azusa on a bed she was already fast asleep by now.

"Isane, please come and check Azusa! Kisuke, you check Ichigo and I'll take a look at Mio and Mami. Tomomi, you can also help me call the school that you guys will be late, while Azusa and Ichigo will be absent." Yoruichi called.

"Sure" Tomomi said and took out her phone.

SCHOOL

"Ehh Mio, you`re back, how was it?" Hisagi asked sliding his hands around her waist hugging his girlfriend. (A/N:yes girlfriend I decided that a few weeks ago haha they went together pretty well I thought.)

"Azusa`s in the clinic." She replied feeling bad for her cousin.

"She`s strong, she`ll get better eventually! So don`t feel that bad." Hisagi comforted her.

"But we were fighting alongside each other, why couldn`t prevent that blow." Mio cried her eyes already full with water.

"It`s not your fault, if you think it is get stronger so you can prevent it, she won`t feel happy about you crying over her, but it`s not like I'm going to tell her of course." Hisagi comforted wiping her tears off with his hands. Mio nodded.

"Alright let`s get the princess to class." Hisagi said picking her up bridal style but receiving a playful punch from the girl in his hands.

'That Ichigo, getting into a fight with people he didn`t know and that were far stronger.' Rukia thought.

"Thinking about him?" Tomomi asked sitting on her table.

"What?" Rukia asked.

"He`s fine, he just has to stay in the clinic for a few days." Tomomi told her looking out the window.

"Rukia-chan, see he`s alright don`t worry." Nel said
"I… I… I… wouldn`t worry about that stupid carrot top." Rukia said angry.

"Come on just face it." Naomi said coming in with bandages around her arm.

"Let`s get something to eat I'm starving." Rukia said getting out of her seat grabbing her stuff.

"Ehh? Where`s Azusa?" Rina asked as she was about to eat her food.

"She got stabbed in the stomach, it`s not too dangerous but she`ll be in the clinic for 1 or 2 days." Mio told them still feeling guilty.

"You guys did have a tough time this morning, what about you guys, Hitsugaya?" Hisagi asked

"We got him arrested." He replied simply.

"Yeah he was easy even though he used Kaien`s abilities." Naomi said.

"He was the one that killed Kaien!" Rukia exclaimed in suprise.

"oh right… um…yeah…he`s…" Naomi said stuttering as they didn`t tell Rukia the killer of the man that entrusted his heart with her in fear she would go after him like crazy, instead they told him he was unrecognized.

"Why didn`t you guys tell me earlier, he killed him! He…he…" Rukia cut off as she started to well up in tears.

"Why didn`t you let me fight him?" Rukia continued.

"You wouldn`t even dare to cut him, he looks the same and has Kaien`s memories, you wouldn`t be able to land a cut on the imposter." Hitsugaya informed her seriously.

"I…I…" Rukia protested but eventually gave up. Nel who was sitting next to her patted her back comforting her in memory of the dead comrade.

The rest of lunch eaten in silence except for a few occasional sobs from the violet eyed girl.

Mio pov

I went to see Azusa with Shuhei after school bringing her homework and the notes for today`s lessons. I saw laying on the bed weak and fragile in pajama`s. I felt my heart hurt seeing this having another one of my closest friend and family hurt. I felt this pain every time I think of my former family. We were happy until they all left me going to the afterworld. They told me that they didn`t want to see me there so quick yet but still I wanted to see them. Azusa was next one my heart was entrusted with. She was like my very own sister even though she was just a cousin. We made a promise with each other to protect each other`s backs till the day we died. However I nearly failed. If Yoruichi wasn`t so fast, Azusa may have already went to meet my family. I cried thinking of these thoughts even though Azusa was a live right in front of me. She acted normally like nothing happened but I knew she was feeling pain inside. As my sobs became louder, Shuhei went over to me comforting me.

"Azusa…..here…. is…to…day`s….home….work…..and…notes…." I stifled out hiccupping.

"Thanks.. um you should leave now, I'm not bored here and I'm okay on myself. The more you look and think about me, the more you get hurt." Azusa said knowing the pain I felt.

"Well then take care." Shuhei said as he led me out still hugging on to me.

Mio pov

Shuhei led me back to my dorm room dropping me of there. I bid a goodbye to my boyfriend and gave him a peck.

After kicking of my heels I fell on to the bed facing the ceiling. I gave my bracelet a look, and then revealed my sword. I pulled out the shiny silver blade out of its jacket and looked at it.

"Do I really deserve to hold you, Elizabeth?" I asked the blade even though I knew it wouldn`t reply. I looked around the room seeing photo`s of me with my friends and Azusa. I really wondered to myself if I was going to lose more people around me.

'Knock knock'

"Hai! I'm coming!" I yelled as I quickly put my sword away and went to the door.

"Hi! We thought you might be lonely so we thought we`d have a sleepover!" Nel said cheerfully holding her stuff.

"Sure." I replied letting them in.

"We did our homework together until it was 6. Then we started to fool around telling jokes, chatting and gossiping until 7, we decided to go out and have pizza at dominos.

Before sleeping, we started to have a pillow fight.

"Take that! Haha!" Naomi said as she threw a pillow to Nel.

Nel quickly picked it up and threw it back for revenge. The three of us replaying the scene for many times till we were too tired.

3rd person pov

Azusa was sitting on the bed still in the clinic reading today`s notes. When she heard a ruffle of bed sheets and some panting, she looked over to her right and saw that the carrot top has woken up.

"Where am I?" Ichigo asked no one in particular.

"Don`t worry, you`re in safe hands of the school nurse and doctor." Azusa told him. Ichigo looked around his surroundings and found out that it was the same place he woke up in a on his 1st day of school.

"I'll tell the other`s you`ve woken up, they`re very worried." Azusa said bringing her cell phone out to send a message.

"Umm.. what`s the time now?" Ichigo asked wanting to know how long he has slept for.

"Mmmm… according to synchronization of watches it`s 10 31 pm forty….two seconds." Azusa said (A/N: I just added the synchronize part for fun haha)

"Umm… Thanks" Ichigo replied.

"Wait a second, it think I've got a message." Naomi said still holding a pillow.

"Me two" Nel and Mio said in unison.

"You guys got the message?" Nel asked

"Yep he`s awake" Mio said

"Finally you guys wanna visit him tomorrow." Naomi asked

"Um…I'll skip on that, don`t you remember?" Mio said

"Oh right well then why don`t we tell him you wish him luck along and stuff?" Nel suggested

"Thanks"
