Chapter 5

When Aizen leaved the fortress Ichigo rushed upstairs only thinking about Rukia, hoping that she listened to him and stay in there, Inoue following him.

"change your face already, you're going to worry her" said Inoue trying to make him lower his pace but only gaining a little "he can't that serious, soon or later he's going to desist"
"I don't know that for sure, I don't know how long I can keep her safe. maybe one day I▓m going to look away and he's going to take her" said Ichigo biting his lip, Inoue could tell he was angry, Ichigo hated to feel so restrained, to be unable to protect entirely the person he loved the most.

"Ichigo" Inoue stopped him in front of his room door "you're not alone"
"Thanks"
"Ichigo, are you in love with her?" Ichigo's face went blank and then turned to a shade of red most likely like a tomato or even redder. "Love her?" asked to himself Ichigo imaging Rukia's smiling face. Lowering his face, looking to the grown not wanting her to notice his blush "I do"
Inoue smiled tenderly "Love is not something you must feel ashamed of, you'll see everything is going to be fine"
"Thanks" said Ichigo smiling at last and entering his room. Rukia was not sited in his bed like always waiting for him. "She▓s angry" though Ichigo walking towards her room door "Rukia" called but no one answer. "Rukia I▓m sorry, I didn't want to break my promises but I couldn't help it... there▓s something we must talk about can you come out?" Ichigo tried to listen but she didn't answer and there wasn't any sound in the room. "Maybe she went to sleep already" though Ichigo "Aizen took me almost all day, he leaved at 7:00 so..." Ichigo though that but a shiver and an awful feeling didn't let him rest in peace about it. "Rukia... I▓m coming in" said Ichigo opening the door quickly but found the room empty, the bathrooms, salons, everywhere he looked she wasn't there.

"We have looked everywhere and ask everyone, but only a neighbored comment that he saw a strange group not from this area. They leaved exactly when Aizen leaved but with them were a big trunk" said Inoue running beside him

"It▓s him" though Ichigo stopping suddenly and turning to run in to the fortress "Prepare the horses and guards. Everyone in his village will be put in custody. I want her back before the night is over" said Ichigo taking his horse and riding in to the forest.

A few hours later Aizen fortress became visible.
