Hello. Sooooo sorry it took forever for the update. Just that my computer got a virus and is acting up. Anyway hope you enjoy it!
Complete bliss. Pureness. Simplicity. Safeness. Everything was hazy, and yet could still see clearly the bright blue eyes and yellow spiky hair of a young man. He felt happy and at home with this mysterious person, a familiarity some how. Like he should know him. Did he know him?
Suddenly the warm feelings disappeared. Something wasn't right. Urgency. Fright. Sounds of screams and shouts in the background. The loudest sound was the sobs. He looked at where the sobs were coming from. Orange strings of long hair, tickling his face. It was a women. She looked at him, sad deep golden brown eyes stared back at him. Mom? She held him close. Then the darkness completely washed over him and he fell back away.
"MOM!" Ichigo gasped, snapping up quickly. He clutched his chest, his hand curling over the front of his robe. Beads of cold sweat dripped down is face. "Wha..what?" He never had a dream like that. It felt so real.
"Bad dreams king?" A mocking voice called.
Ichigo groaned. Things started coming back into focus. Soreness was all over his back, and he could feel a sharp pain in his left shoulder. He eased back, lying down.
"I'm not in the mood for this Shiro."
"Aw don't be so snappy. Remember anything in your mind I can see too. In fact, I can see it even better than you can."
Ichigo sighed, his hand clutched his forehead, as a new pain started building in his head.
"Well I don't suppose you have any idea what my dream was about do you?" Ichigo said annoyed.
"I don't know anymore than you. But I do feel like this place you put us in is kinda...effecting this inner world. I don't know. Just feels weird in here."
"So are you saying I got this dream because I'm in a whole other world?"
Shiro sighed. "I don't know. I'm just the guy in your head remember. Besides who gives a shit about some dream." Shiro replied lazily quickly loosing interest in the conversation.
"Fine then if you can't help then go away."
"Will do king"
The pain in his head slightly melted away. Ichigo again pushed himself back up into sitting position. Not realizing it before that he was lying on soft plushy grass with a small crackly fire in front of him. It was incredibly dark. He could barely see anything farther than the trees surrounding him. He didn't know where he was and didn't know how he got there. But his brain was exhausted and he didn't want to think. He scooted closer to the fire, the smell of smoke getting a little stronger. "Grhmmm" Ichigo clutched his stomach, embarrassed even though nobody was around. He hadn't eaten in forever. He needed food. The reality of the situation loomed down on him. We need to some how get back to the soulsociety. And right now if I'm ambushed, I don't think i could be able to handle it.
Suddenly he heard rustling in the trees. His body tensed. He quickly searched for Zangetsu in the grass, finding it next to his sleeping area. Taking his sword he stood up defending him self. An feeling of fear was creeping inside, it was faint but still there. I can't die here. He put up a strong front faking confidence, nobody could possibly know the dread inside. The sounds of sticks crunching and tree branches being pushed aside grew stronger. His eyes narrowed as his heart beat a little faster. He crept slightly closer to where the sounds were coming from. He looked closely and saw the outline of a person. He re-gripped his sword. I'll make the first move. Charging, he thrusted up his sword, ready to strike.
"Kurosaki! Stop!"
Huh? how does this guy know my name. Looking closer he saw, a white out fit, from head to toe, glasses, and a blue cross on the front of the person's shirt. Blue cross? Who the hell would where a blue cross on the front of his shirt? Except... wait...Uryu? Realizing his mistake he stopped attacking and sheathed his sword. Wait. Uryu.. he did something to me. I went unconscious. Before that we were ambushed. What happened? ...Oh no Rukia and Renji! Gasping he realized what Uryu had done. Remembering his friends in trouble and Uryu making him abandon them. Anger was building up in his chest. His breath labored in anger. His shoulders shook.
"You idiot!"He grabbed the front of Uryu's collar and thrusted him to the back of the tree."What have you done! We left them to die! Those were our friends...MY friends!"
His whole body was shaking. Orihime unconscious, Rukia and Renji collapsing. Chad exhausted. His hand gripped harder on the collar and pushed him harder against the tree. He was too angry to speak. Uryu looked at him, throughout the encounter his face had been emotionless and simply watched his friend.
"Ichigo, We didn't leave them to die. They should be fine. I assume they wanted to just catch them, because right now I can still feel all their spiritual energies."
"But we still left them!"
"No Ichigo. If we stayed we would have all been captured or someone would have really been killed. Those so called ninjas really do seem to have some good abilities. And by the way they interacted I think they really have a lot experience capturing others. We did outnumber them and we were strong but we were in their battle ground giving us a disadvantage. Leaving was the best thing we could do, now we have to focus on getting them back before anything happens."
Ichigo took in a deep shaky breath and unleashed Uryu. Lack of energy and food exhausted him and he slumped back to the ground.
"What do we do?"
"I think they might live for now, but... I can't say anything for sure about tomorrow. I can still feel them and they are not too far from here. 4-5 miles away. The ninjas said they were part of a village, I think they might be kept there."
"So lets go."
"No, we should rest for awhile, recuperate. But not for too long, we will be leaving tonight. Remember to be careful, those ninja people were dangerous, rushing in would be suicide."
Ichigo sighed again. He knew Uryu was right. "Grhmm ump burrrr." Ichigo's face grew pink and clutched his stomach.
"Uuhh I got some food. Unfortunately it's only sunflower seeds." Uryu pulled out a small brown bag from his pocket.
"Sunflower seeds? What is it with you and sun flower seeds?"
Uryu grew pink as well. Quickly sliding up his glasses he snapped "Well they happen to be very good. But if you don't want them then starve!"
"Jeez chill." He reached for the seeds and grabbed a handful.
The two ate in silence, each thinking to them selves. Ichigo was contemplating the events that happened when they came to this new world. But something was nagging on his mind.
"Uryu, can I ask you some thing?"
The Quincy merely stared at him and nodded.
"Back when were running out of the clearing, I was planning to run back in and help. But before I got back something happened and knocked me out. What did you do to me?"
"Oh I used this" Uryu pulled a small needle from his pocket. "Its a tranquilizer"
Ichigo stared at him in shock, his mouth wide. But a few seconds later shock passed and hysteria settled in. "What! You injected something in me! You crazy bastard! Why the hell would you carry something around like that!"
"For emergencies."
Ichigo groaned, slapping his forehead with his hand. Uryu calm demeanor continued, Ichigo's actions uneffecting it. Ichigo then decided to let it drop and get some rest. He was too tired to argue. "Fine whatever." Finishing his meager meal he lied down and tried to get comfortable on the bare grass.
Naruto P.O.V. At the clearing. A couple hours before.
The large skinned intruder was deeply out numbered. But he relentlessly fought. This guy has a whole lot of power. He doesn't even look that tired. I never seen anything like it. And his ability looks like he sends punches of chakra. Sakura backed away from the intruder. Her chest heaving. I don't have that much chakra left. The intruder shot another punch. She dodged it...barely. Suddenly she saw another blue wave a chakra raging toward her after the first one. Her breath hitched. It's fast to dodge!
After dealing with the two intruders the girl in the black hair and the red head, Shikamru felt exhausted. I only have enough chakra for one last move, then I'm done. Shikamaru scoped the clearing, the two intruders were gone. Damn it! We can't follow after them. We are all out of energy. Shikamaru watched as Kiba and Akamaru returned back to their original states. Both in exhaustion. They might be tired but their ok, we need to get back to the village quickly. Suddenly he heard a shout. Whirling around, he saw Sakura on the ground, with red cuts all over her body and burns on the side of her arms and legs. She tried to get up but hopelessly failed as she collapsed again. The intruder crept closer to Sakura. I have to help her, but I can't use any jutsu right now. Damn, I'll have to reserve to the last resort. Now the intruder was directly in front of Sakura, his arm brightened with blue chakra. Shikamaru ran to the orange haired girl with the clips and took out a kunai knife. Putting it up to her neck. "If you lay another finger on her I'll kill your friend!" he yelled. He hated doing things like this but It was no use. He had to save Sakura. The dark skinned intruder snapped his eyes up at Shikamaru. The fire in his eyes diminished as he slowly let his arms drop. Sakura slowly picked her self up, then with the little energy she had left, quickly snapped her hand at the intruders neck, hitting the pressure point to knock him out. The intruder collapsed, and few seconds later Sakura followed after landing on her hands and knees. Shikamaru let go of the girl in his arms, letting her fall to the ground. We need to get these people to the village, and get Sakura some mediculal help. He walked toward Kiba and Akamaru, who were both panting.
"Kiba can you walk?"
Kiba panted for another moment, then swallowed in another breath. Then in a surprisingly swift movement picked himself up. "Yeah, definitely."
"Ok good, I need you to go back to the village and get back up and the medics. We can't carry all of these people, and Sakura, me, and the intruders have injuries."
"What are you talking about Shikamaru? Do you actually want to heal these people?"
"Yes"
"Why the hell are you going to do that?"
"We need to bring them all back in one piece, we can't have them die. We might have them for study or something."
Kiba sighed, "Fine, what ever you say."
And with that he sped off into the forest, Akamaru following close behind.
Bleach P.O.V. Moments later at the Leaf Prison
His throat burned, his breathing passage small and sore. Cold chills went up his tattooed body. His eyes squinted open. But it didn't make much of a difference, it was still very dark and silent. Where the hell am I?
"Finally your awake sleepy head!"
Renji widened his eyes and sat up. He knew that voice. "Rukia. Is that you?"
Renji suddenly felt a harsh slap on his head leaving a burning red mark on his forehead. "Who do you think it is dumb ass? The tooth fairy? Of course it's me!"
"Grr. Rukia! What's your problem?"
"You! You have been sleeping for so long that we had to wait for you!"
"You little brat, that called recuperating! I can't help that!"
"Fine whatever, if princess needs her beauty sleep that fine. It doesn't matter just as long as you are awake and able to get moving."
Renji steamed at the comment but let it slide. He knew the severity of the situation and decided to think of that instead.
"What do you mean? And where are we?" he whispered
"We are in some sort of prison cell. Though I think these guys really don't have any idea about spirit energy, they aren't sealing the spirit energy at all."
"Hah, wow. What a load of dummies. Then what are we waiting for lets bust this joint."
"Idiot! We can't just run off. Even though these people have no idea about spirit energy, they are still very powerful. We have to escape without them knowing and find Uryu and Ichigo."
"Tch. Fine."
"Orihime and Chad are in the cell next to us. We have to wait a bit though. Orihime is still very weak right now."
Renji sighed and sat back against the cell wall and stared up at the bare ceiling. Even though he knew the walls could be easily broken, he felt trapped. What happens when we can't get back to the soul society? And if we can't how are we going to survive? He looked down from the ceiling and saw Rukia's small figure sitting and leaning on the other side of the wall. Her legs clutched to her chest. Her face etched with worry. Renji knew that face, the face in the Rukon district when they didn't have enough food, the face when Rukia told him about being adopted, the face before she was about to be executed. "Rukia we're going to be ok. Don't worry we will get back to the soulsociety"
"I know that idiot." She whispered.
Renji smirked and looked away. But deep in his mind also had doubt. Will we really get out of this?
Naruto P.O.V.
It was late. And hokage was still humped over his desk finishing paperwork. But for him the paperwork meant nothing as he whipped through them one by one. No, his mind was focused else where. The accident that happened this morning. Damn. Sakura, Shikamaru, and Kiba looked really beat up. And all of them were on the brink of their chakra and have serious injuries. Naruto put down his pen and rubbed his aching forehead.
And what's really weird is those people. If what Shikamaru said is true we might have a really problem on our hands. Naruto sighed and stood up from his chair. Lifting his arms to stretch. But what also is really weird is the 9 tail. I can feel him sometimes. I know I already controlled him and stuff but once in a while I can hear him. Now ever since this morning he has been acting up.
"Naruto"
He gasped, clutching his stomach. That voice, cold and dark. He knew that voice. The words of the 9 tail.
"Now is my chance."
"What do you mean? You shouldn't be able to do anything!"
"O Naruto Uzumaki, you over estimated your seal. Though I understand, for I'm a little surprised my self. Who knew that some how they could come back."
Shakily Naruto questioned. "What are you saying?"
"Hah. I'm saying that I'm going to leave your body soon. And when I do-"
"What!"
"-I'm going to kill you."
Before he could yell his body suddenly stiffened. What's going on? Pain rippled up and down his body. He fell forward, crashing to the ground. The front of his body facing the windows. His body was shaking, his freezing skin covered in sweet while his insides felt like burning. The pain was too much. So much, he couldn't make a sound. His senses were overpowered by it. NO! This...this can't be happening! I can't...let this happen. The village could be destroyed by this beast! His powerful determination was strong. Another wave of pain went up his body. But the fury and anger in the beast was stronger. Slowly his eyes started to close. He looked through the windows, even though his eyesight was dimming, he could still see the village below. Another wave of intense shock hit him again. Reaching for the last ounce of strength left he slowly lifted his arm. His hand getting closer. His fingers touched the cool windows. Reaching out toward his village. I'm sorry. I couldn't...protect. His mind then finally slipped and he fell. Falling further and further into darkness.
So I hope it wasn't supre corny of anything. I've been thinking a lot of what the story line was going to be and I finally got it. So ya, I'll try to update soon. Please Review!
