Chapter: Leaving On A Jet Plane
Shalan's Rant: Okay… I have had several people ask me why I never use shudders Orihime… you want to know why? Because she's the most useless character in Bleach and she really has no point to begin with. Putting Uryu with her is a sin to his character. I'm not mad at your for asking… I'm just telling you what I think of her… and what most people think of her. NEVER in the entire series does she ever show that she has some skill or talent… the only thing she can do is summon fairies from her hair and she does a bang-up job of that. She's a useless character and I might also point out that she isn't helping Rukia currently in the Japanese series? She's currently just standing over her dead body like the stupid bitch she is… the only reason I believe she should exist is because she has to bring Rukia back to life…
…in short… Orihime… is a useless whiny bitch that can't do a damn thing without her "Kurosaki-kun" and she always seems to need Uryu there to save her ass… the day that Orihime dies… I will celebrate so loudly that you all will be able to hear it no matter how far away you live from Kansas City, Missouri…
Thanks for letting me rant… I had to get that off my chest… now… onto the next fun filled chapter… wait… hold on… my beta has just informed me that you said something about Tatsuki… uhm… I have no idea why I didn't put them together. XDDD I didn't think about it… sorry…maybe I'll go back and change the names and have a RenTat pairing… XDDD

"So what are his weak points?" Ichigo leaned against the wall, his arms folded across his chest. Uryu sat at the table next to him, his fingers laced together his chin on his hands.
"From what Momo says…" Toshiro's voice spoke over the computer's speakers, the image of him on the screen shrugging slightly. Uryu thought it was rather funny. Their entire squad was spread across the world and so instead of having meetings they had a video conference via computer. "He has a soft spot for a woman that lives in Las Vegas. He goes there and visits her and gambles."
"So he's a gambler…" Kisuke leaned back in his chair, eying the little camera in his computer screen. Yoruichi stood behind him in his dress shirt, much to his chagrin. He didn't want her showing off her legs on a webcam.
"Yes…" Toshiro nodded and he folded his arms.
"So… we're here in the US… and I'm closest to Las Vegas… want me to go take him out?" The red head on another video offered.
"No Renji… you can't blow your cover… besides… wouldn't that mean that I would have to tell Rukia that her best friend is involved in a syndicate?" Ichigo leaned forward slightly and Renji leaned back.
"This computer is an amazing thing…" Toshiro chuckled. "I love Macs…" Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"Yeah… they're cool… but that has nothing to do with it…" Ikakku sighed lightly. "What are we going to do to get at his underbelly?"
"What are we going to do to get at his balls…" Renji cut it down to size and Uryu laughed.
"We could shoot him…" Kisuke fiddled with the toothpick in his mouth.
"Look guys… this isn't going to work… we can't just show up and shoot him. We have to figure out what the hell they're going to do with the test subjects…" Ichigo sighed, running a hand through his orange hair. Kisuke frowned.
"Yeah… you have a point… but how do we get on the inside?" Toshiro threw his hands up. "We're right back a square one!" He fell over in his chair from the velocity and the other laughed at him.
"I think I might know what you can do…" A voice spoke from behind Kisuke and he looked up.
"Yoruichi?" He blinked and she leaned down. Renji, Ikakku and Toshiro leaned forward, she had just given them a clear shot down her shirt.
"Get to the woman…" she started typing and suddenly an information card came up with a side profile picture and her statistics. "She can tell you everything you want to know…"
"How do you know that?" Ichigo put a hand on the table and leaned into the camera.
"I'm just saying… I know how men work… if he's really doing things that you all are saying that he's doing…"
"Human testing and mutation…" Ichigo finished.
"That… but if he is really sponsoring all of this and he does want those diamonds… I'm telling you that he's going to have told his little pet in Vegas," Yoruichi tapped the screen. "Listen to me when I'm talking…"
"You were talking?" Ikakku teased the only female partner in the group. She scoffed and walked off.
"She's got a point…" Ichigo frowned. "Unfortunately… the only way we're going to get to him is through her… Kisuke… how fast can you mobilize a unit to find and retrieve her?" Kisuke looked at his watch.
"We'll go…" Uryu said and Ichigo looked over at him.
"You sure you want to do that… Isn't Kazumi due sometime next week?" Ichigo asked him and he nodded.
"Yeah… it shouldn't take that long should it?" He looked over at Ichigo.
"We could get it done faster than any of the greenhorns could…" Ichigo lifted his eyebrow and Uryu nodded.
"We could get it done pretty quick… We'll go Kisuke…" Kisuke blinked at them both then scratched his nose. "Why were you looking at your watch?"
"To see how long it took for you two to decide that you were going to go and take her out…" Kisuke looked up at them.
"Thanks Kisuke… how fast can you get us moving? Tickets and everything?" Kisuke rubbed his face with his hands.
"Why do you all have to bother me so early in the morning?" Kisuke stretched. "Uhm… give me… three days tops… I have to contact the director and find out from him first and then I'll tell you what's gonna happen… but in that time… you two are going to have to move fast if Uryu wants to be back in time to see his son born…" Uryu hung his head slightly.
"We can move faster than you've ever seen us… Uryu's gonna go through the joy of having a woman scream at him about how he's a bastard and how she's going to castrate him when it was over…" Ichigo chuckled and Uryu punched his head gently.
"Shut your mouth Kurosaki…" Uryu sighed.

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.
"Ichigo… be careful alright?" Rukia said softly as he packed his duffle bag. He nodded at her and she let a tear fall down her face. "You always do that… and I've almost lost you so many times…" She sighed softly as he wrapped her up in her arms.
"I'll be alright okay?" He whispered and kissed the top of her head. "Listen… there are only so many things he can try… there are only so many tries he has… he won't try anything this time… he doesn't know that we're coming…" She nodded as he tightened his grip on her and tears dripped down her face again.
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
-Oh Babe, I hate to go.
Uryu rested his lips against the back of her neck, his hands on her stomach. She closed her eyes and relished his warmth. "This isn't going to be the last time you see me angel…" he whispered and she nodded.
"I know… but it's still sad…" she smiled and rolled over to look at him. "I'll wait for you… just hurry back alright?" He nodded and rubbed her stomach gently.
"I love you angel…" He whispered as her lips met his. She nodded. She had stopped crying long before. But her heart still hurt, she knew that this was his job… but why did he have to leave… right before she gave birth.
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around,I
tell you now, they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you,
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
Kisuke pulled the blanket over Yoruichi's shoulders. He had to go with them… he knew he did. Ichigo and Uryu needed a way to get out of there fast… and he was the only one who could fly them out of there. "Kisuke…" he heard her soft voice from the bed as he watched her from the doorway.
"Yes…" He whispered back as she got out of the bed and walked over to him. His eyes were soft as she wrapped him up in a hug. Her body was still warm from the sheets and he buried his nose into her neck.
"When you come back… will you do what you said you would?" She whispered and he nodded into her tanned skin.
"Yoruichi… I promised didn't I?" She planted a little kiss on his neck and he smiled. "I always promise…" his blue eyes grew sad.
"Yeah… you do…"
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
-Oh Babe, I hate to go.
"I love you Ichigo…" Rukia whispered to him as he gave her a last hug. Their lips met and he kissed her hard, letting her know that he would be back.
"I love you too… don't worry baby… I'll come back…" he placed a hand on the side of her face.
"Uryu… I'll wait for you…" Her baby blues bored into his cerulean. He saw her blink back tears and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Angel…" he whispered and she shook her head as if to say, don't say anything. Her lips met his and he smiled softly. Kisuke stood just outside the plane's cockpit with a sad smile on his face.
"C'mon guys! If we wanna get this done!" Kisuke shouted and they nodded, letting go of their wives. Ichigo leaned down and kissed Masaki on the forehead. She giggled and hid behind her mother and he smiled.
"Just like your mother…" Ichigo grinned and walked off after Uryu.
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you,
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come.
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times I won't have to say ...
