Tairei9: Muahaha!! The continuation starts!!
Ichigo: here is the Oreo's.
Tairei9: OREO'S!!
Kon: Chocolate lovers.
Ichigo+ Tairei9: SHUT UP!!
Kumiko: Did someone mention Oreo cookies? Yay, cookies!!
Tairei9: I do not own bleach, I give full credit to the creators, and I do not own Oreo's either. But you all know that. : )
Chapter twenty seven.
"Oh yeah?" Yoruichi asked going slightly pale.
"My Spirit Sensor cell phone?" he said, raising and eyebrow.
"Oh yeah," Yoruichi said opening the shop door. He walked in, seeing everyone.
"Kuchiki-sama!!!" Kumiko said, wearing purple feetie pajama's.
"Ah, Byakuya-san!! Something I can do for you?"
"My phone?"
"Oh yes, Kumiko go fetch it for him," Urahara said, waving his fan. Kumiko nodded and ran from the room.
"No running!!" Yoruichi said, and then sighed.
"She's not listening is she?"
"No she's not," Yoruichi said shaking her head. Byakuya stared at the door Kumiko ran out.
"Yoruichi, Kisuke, who is that child?" Byakuya asked in his demanding monotone.
"What?" Urahara asked, his smile immediately disappearing.
"We've looked in on the child and we know she is noble."
"Do you have any proof?"
"We have a suspect that is being questioned as we speak," Byakuya said, eyes gleaming dangerously, "You can tell us what you know and remain out of anymore trouble."
"Ah… I see…," Urahara said, "We know that she is noble, that is about it."
Byakuya stayed silent and looked towards the door as Kumiko ran back in with the cell.
"Here, Kuchiki-sama!!" Kumiko said, holding it out with one of her biggest smiles. Byakuya simply took it with a nod and left the room, shutting the door with a snap.
"Is there something wrong?" Kumiko questioned yawning.
"Kumiko please come here," Urahara said, softly. She walked over to him and he pulled out a red candy.
"Here, chew this up for me," Urahara said, pulling her onto her lap. She did so and soon her eyelids began to droop. Soon she was in a deep sleep and Urahara sighed.
"Yoruichi, please bring her to Kurosaki-san. This has become quite serious. I will call him immediately."
"Right," Yoruichi said taking Kumiko and disappearing.
Urahara went over to the phone and dialed the number for Ichigo's cell.
-----
"What the-?" Ichigo said picking up his cell. He pressed the talk button and said, "Hello?"
"Ah, Kurosaki-san!!"
"Urahara-san! What do you want?"
"Kurosaki-san… It is time."
Ichigo sighed and made sure his door was locked.
"I see. So they've warned you already I presume?"
"Yep, Kumiko will stay with you until it is time, and then bring here to the area. Hopefully they won't come until the morning."
"What do I do if they come here? I mean they probably will feel her reiatsu here."
"Kumiko will take slip away. Hide her from your family though. I will alert you father of this as well." Yeah, I hanged it so Ichigo found out his father was a shinigami. He flipped of course, but calmed down about it eventually.
"Yeah," Ichigo said then heard a knock on his window. He looked and saw Yoruichi. He opened the window and beckoned her to come in. She did so and gave him a puzzling look.
"Here," he whispered softly, opening the closet revealing the futon Rukia slept in. Yoruichi put her on it and disappeared. Ichigo quickly shut the door of the closet and then shut the window.
"So… how much trouble do you think we'll be in?"
"They shouldn't find out about you being involved, but we'll be in deep. Don't worry, we'll be alright."
"Okay, see yah."
"Good bye Kurosaki-san."
------
Byakuya walked through the portal back into Seireitei. He then flash stepped back to the Kuchiki estate and went to his room, tired. He undid the kenseikan is his hair and placed it on his dresser. He sighed and thought back.
Flashback.
"How do you get this out?" Hisana said, slightly irritated. Byakuya just smiled and removed it with ease. Hisana just shook her head as she and Byakuya got ready for bed.
"So, how was today?"
Byakuya just sighed and said, "Tiresome. It was paper work day."
"Ahh," she said, smiling softly. She crawled into bed as he went into the bathroom. She sighed and her eyes glanced at the night stand.
Byakuya came out seeing her hold something in here hands. He smiled knowing very well what it was.
"I see your still examining it," he said teasing her slightly. He sat down on the bed as her cheeks turned ever so slightly pink. She smiled as he said, "Do you ever listen to it?"
"Yes I do," Hisana said gently. He leaned and kissed her gently. Hisana put the object on the night stand as he pulled away and she lied down. He turned off the light and went under the covers, drifting off to sleep.
End of flashback
Byakuya went to bed and sighed, turning off the light.
---------
Kumiko lied awake in her eleven year old form. She was obviously wearing different clothes. She was wearing a grey skirt, a white button up shirt with a navy blue button up sweater. (Like the one the high schoolers at Ichigo's school wear during the arrancar arc with out the logo) she was wearing navy blue knee socks with black loafers. Every thing was a little big on her. She sighed thinking about the events that were going to happen. They wanted her to hide so she wouldn't get caught up in the fight that might occur in the morning. But she knew if she went with them back to Soul Society, she would never fight. She had to think of something fast. She pondered for a moment but only come to one conclusion. She would have to do… it.
She closed her eyes once again and made her reiatsu flow faster.
--------
Urahara watched the sun come up and sigh. This was it. The day had come. Now all he had to do was wait for the reiatsu's to show up.
"Urahara-san!!"
Urahara turned around and said, "Abarai-san, I suppose you know."
"Yeah."
"And you are ordered to keep me here."
"Yeah."
"I suppose you have been given permission to use bankai if you must."
"Yeah…… Urahara-san, there is something you don't know."
"What?" Urahara asked, curious.
"Someone… over heard Yoruichi talking to Ichigo about this mess."
Urahara looked horrified and asked immediately, "Who was it?!"
"It was………Rukia," Renji said, his eyes downcast, "She told Ukitake and Byakuya last night."
"This……is slightly problematic," Urahara said getting up, "Any reason you're telling me this?"
Renji looked sorrowfully at him and said.
"They said to get him at all means possible."
----------
Ichigo woke up and yawned. He looked around the room and sighed. He got dressed and as he was pulling on his jacket, his cell rang.
"What the-?" Ichigo picked it up and flipped it open. There was a new text message. He clicked on a button and it appeared on the screen.
"THEY KNOW! DELETE THIS MESSAGE AND GET AWAY FROM THE HOUSE!"
Ichigo's eyes widen and deleted the message. He grabbed sleeping Kon off of the bed and hit him with the shinigami badge. A green pill popped out and Ichigo swallowed it. Ichigo was forced out of his body and he looked back at a furious Kon. Suddenly there was a frightened cry from bellow them.
"Yuzu!!" Ichigo said, running out the door and down the stairs.
To a very scary sight.
Yuzu was being restrained by Ikkaku. She had bruises on her neck and arms. Karin was also being restrained by Matsumoto. She had a bruise on her wrist. Hitsugaya and Ukitake were both retraining Isshin, who seemed to be under kido.
"Kurosaki Ichigo."
Ichigo looked towards the door way and saw Kuchiki Byakuya, staring at him with his scary glare.
"Where is my daughter?"
Tairei9: That's the end of the chapter.
Ichigo: Oh come on!
Matsumoto: Just get on with it!
Isshin: Really
Tairei9: Fine, fine! You whiny anime-!
"Let them go," Ichigo said furiously.
"If you tell me where my daughter is," Byakuya said coldly.
"Not until you let them go!!" Ichigo said, flaming up. He was holding Zangetsu, shaking.
"AHHH!!"
Yuzu was struggling with Ikkaku. Remember she can't see shinigami. Ikkaku had forced her to stop hurting her again.
"Stop it!! She can't even see you, now LET HER GO!!!"
"AHHH!!"
But this time it wasn't Yuzu. It came from out side. Everyone seemed to forget what they were doing. Ichigo, Byakuya, Ikkaku, Matsumoto, Ukitake, and Hitsugaya ran outside.
Rukia was on the ground with bruises on her neck arms, and wrist. A woman stood with a cold look on her face.
Kumiko stood behind her, sad looking.
Tairei9: Okay that is it for now, deal with it!!! Review!
