/Hello./ Rei and Zangetsu talking
Chapter 8-The Real Fun Starts…
RING! RING!
Shinji picked up his cell phone.
"Moshi, Moshi?"
Then a temporary silence.
"WHAT?!" Shinji's eyes widen, and he hanged up the phone.
"GUYS!"
The other Vaizards flinched as one as they heard Shinji's yell, and they were silently amazed at Shinji yell, he had never exerted that much authority before.
They soon appeared in front of their leader (although this was much debated).
"What's so important asshole?" Hiyori said with venom, she had been taking a nap when he called and was to some extent pissed off.
"Ichigo's a hostage in Soul Society."
The tension in the warehouse was the higher then anyone thought possible.

"Okay try standing." Unohana said helping Ichigo stand.
She wasn't sure how his body would cope, seeing as he hadn't left his bed for a while because of his healing.
Ichigo swing his feet over the edge of the bed, and gently got to his feet, he swayed for a second before steadying himself, and walking forward a few steps before falling.
Unohana caught him.
"Its as I suspected your body is very weak, you'll need assistance walking." She said poking her head out the door and calling some orders.
A couple of minutes later, a shaky Hanatoro entered the room.
"You called taichou?"
Unohana nodded.
"Ichigo-kun is to be transferred to eleven division's barracks today, but he's not fully healed. You are to be his on-site doctor for the time being."
"Hai, taichou!" Hanatoro said smiling his tired smile.
He now had a chance to be with his friend.
"Good, help him get situated and I'll visit later."
Ichigo smiled at her, before being lead out of the room.

Isshin gritted his teeth, and tried his hardest to keep up his mask of usual idiocy around his lovely daughters.
He didn't want them to worry about Ichigo too.
"Have a great day at school!" He yelled after his daughters smiling a fake smile till they vanished from sight.
He retreated to the comfort of his home and let his thoughts wonder.
Urahara had reassured him that Ichigo wasn't being experimented on and that was being protected at Soul Society from Aizen.
This thought both comforted him and scared him.
How long until the Vaizards figure out that the Ichigo walking around wasn't the actual Ichigo?
They really didn't need more enemies, especially while preparing for Aizen…
Isshin signed.
There were so many problems, and they all held Ichigo at the center for some reason.
Was it worth leaving Soul Society to begin with?
"Did I do the right thing Masaki?" Isshin asked looking at the poster of his former wife.
Times like this were very trying without Masaki…
"Ichigo be safe…" He whispered praying for the first time in a long while.

Zangetsu monitored the enigma known as Rei, and asked the question he knew Rei didn't want to answer.
/You know what Ichigo did./ Zangetsu stated it wasn't a question.
Rei sighed in defeat.
So Zangetsu noticed.
/Yes, I do./ Rei said resigned.
/You put on a pretty good act, demon, but only King's stupid enough to believe it./ Hichigo said adding his own two cents.
/Explain./ Zangetsu demand. Rei obeyed.
/Ichigo has a power no one should have./ Rei bowed his head silently shadowing his eyes. /Until Ichigo-sama realizes what it is, I can't reveal it./
/ The hell?!/ Hichigo yelled he really wanted to beat up King now.
King seemed to have everything, first absolute control, and now weird powers?
/Your protecting Ichigo from being in more danger by keeping secrets from him./ Zangetsu quietly told Rei.
Rei didn't even have to nodded, they knew it to be true.
/What is King?/ Hichigo wondered.
For once Rei didn't have an answer for him,because none of them knew either.

"This is Icchy's room." Yachiru said pointing door.
For some mysterious reason she was happy…too happy. What did she do?
Ichigo gave her a searching look.
"Thanks." He muttered not looking her in the eye.
"Ken-chan will pleased we're right next to you." She said jumping up and down.
Ichigo sweat dropped, and he wasn't the only one Hanatoro looked afraid for Ichigo's health, both mentally, and physically.
So that's why she was so happy…
"Well, if it isn't Ichigo."
Ichigo almost gulped (almost did because he didn't show fear) he knew that voice.
"Ikkaku." Ichigo greeted.
"-and the beautiful Yumichika." said another.
Hanatoro's worry intensified.
"Hey." Ichigo said, while cursing his terrible luck. His hollow wasn't helping much instead opting to laugh at him.
"Ichigo-san will not be fighting. He's on strict rest." Hanatoro said bravely.
Ikkaku gave him glace.
" Well duh his reiatsu's all over. It'd be a waste and a bore to fight him when he's injured." Ikkaku said studious. like it was the most obvious thing.
'Hopefully Kenpachi thinks along those lines...' Ichigo thought completely ignoring Hichigo.
"See you later Ichigo." Ikkaku said with Yumichika trailing behind him.
Ichigo and Hanatoro both heaved a big sigh of relief. They had escaped a fight..for now.Thankfully the beings above didn't torture Ichigo anymore as Yachiru had ran off during their talk.
Hanatoro gently helped Ichigo into the room, and into a chair.
The room was reasonable comfortable,had a medium sized bed, a closet, and a bedside table. The chair Ichigo was sitting in was at the end of the bed so it wouldn't too hard to move to the bed without assistance.
"How do you feel?" Hanatoro asked carefully.
"A bit tired." Ichigo said. Which was true, but mostly he wanted Hanantoro to leave so he could do some training.
Hanatoro nodded at him.
"Okay, well rest a bit, and I'll be back later with some food...and here," Hanatoro handed Ichigo a small device with one red button on it. "If you need anything, push this button and I'll come."
He waved to Ichigo before walking out of the room.
Ichigo made sure Hanatoro's reiatsu was gone before climbing onto the bed, and laying down.
He entered his inner world.

(Yourichi's POV)
I swiftly made my way though the shadowed building of Soul Society, taking great care to make sure I wasn't seen. Even though Kisuke told Isshin that the tunnel to Rukugon were closed, the noble family spirit ports were still open.
Though I knew it made perfect sense.
Soul Society was trying to cut Ichigo off from his friends...too bad they were too thick to think I wouldn't help Ichigo, an advantage it was to making sure we could at least Isshin was well informed.(Well, that or have him kill us.)
I very easily cloaked my reiatsu and followed the small traces of Ichigo's reiatsu.I knew it was a possibility that they would use a reiatsu band on him..but I didn't think they'd actually do it.
Reiatsu bands were outlawed twenty-five hundred years ago with it was discovered that the bands cut off the wielder from the user reiatsu so utterly that the wearer ended up dead.
I stopped in my tracks.
Damn them.
Ichigo's trail had completely vanished there wasn't even a clue as to where it was.
Isshin was not going to like this.
Wait, forget liking this, I'm surprised Isshin hasn't gotten in contact with his...family for access to Soul Society. But then Isshin and his family weren't really on speaking terms since before Isshin got married to Masaki.
Heh. Wonder what the strawberry would say if he knew he was a noble from one of the get families, just like Byakuya Kuchiki.
It made her luagh just thinking about it.
SLAM!
A huge force of reiatsu pushed me to the ground, but that wasn't the surprising fact.
"Hollow..." I whispered.
A hollow hadn't been seen in Soul Society for nearly ten thousand years...how'd this one get in?

Ichigo dodged another attack from Zangetsu.
This time he was having another mock fight with Zangetsu and Hchigo and this time he was doing much better.
Ichigo brought an upwards at his hollow getting him on Hichigo's cheek slightly.Hchigo jumped back and fired a Getsuga Tensho.
Ichigo shunpoed away, and positioned himself behind Zangetsu,bring his blade down on the sword spirit.
/Good, Ichigo./ Zangetsu said complementing Ichigo and his shunpo being much more smoother then it previously was.
/Keep going Ichigo-sama!/ Rei yelled. /You're almost done!/
Ichigo nodded, and slashed his blade thought the air taking a higher level of control over his reiatsu and firing Kuroishoshi. Hichigo and Zangetsu were both thrown into a nearby skyscraper.
A major improvement from yesterday when he was the one getting thrown into the tall buildings.
/That's enough./ Zangetsu said halting the fight.
Hichigo glared at the zanpaktou spirit but didn't say anything. He didn't have to. the others already knew why he was mad.
/Go and get some rest-./ Rei started, but whatever he was going to say was lost as all of them felt the huge hollow reiatsu.
/Finally a real fight./ Hichigo said smiling manically.
Rei and Ichigo sent him matching exasperated looks.
/Did you forget that Ichigo-sama can't walk without assistance?/ Rei asked.
/So what? I can heal his pansy ass injuries-./
"Or the fact I have a reiatsu band around my neck?" Ichigo asked.
/And? You're point is?/
Ichigo sighed.
Hichigo really wanted to go fighting, and even if it meant messing up their cover.
"We're not going Hichigo." Ichigo said finally.
They couldn't put themselves in danger-.
Several familiar waves on reiatsu made themselves known,known that they're owners were in trouble.
"Shit." Ichigo cursed.
Talk about crappy luck. He's friends were in trouble.
"Screw sitting here." Ichigo said quickly getting ready.
