So hey everyone! Here's another chapter!

I've hit a little snag but i sorta have a fix. The whole headache situation, most of you took as awareness probably...not what i intended. I'm not entirely sure where i am going with that. So if you guys could make some suggestions about why the headaches are affecting Sayu it would be helpful!

Thanks to all of you guys who reviewed.

OH and i certainly don't own Yu Yu Hakusho and Bleach.

"So give it to me. What are these arrancar? And why are they after me?" Ichigo asked as he got settled on his desk chair.

"Wait. Let us tell you," Ichigo's ceiling light came undone as Matsumoto, Renji, Ikkaku, and Yumichika came out through the hole.

"H-how'd you guys get in there? And what'd you do to my light?!?" Ichigo shouted as the four shinigami got settled on Ichigo's bed.

"Ikkaku's head is like a light bulb!" Matsumoto said in a cheery tone.

"What was that?" Ikkaku asked sharply.

"Arrancars are hollows that have removed their masks in an effort to acquire the powers of both a shinigami and a hollow. They are few in number and still fewer are ever developed their powers. Then Aizen and his hogyoku came and suddenly we have fully developed arrancars to deal with like those two you encountered the other day. Are you following me?" Renji explained as Rukia presented bunny illustrations to accompany Renji's story.

"Yeah. But the visual presentation leaves something to be desired," Ichigo said dryly, earning him a sketchbook thrown in his face.

"Initially, the soul society was going to monitor things until Aizen made a move. We'd just lost three captains and we needed more time to rebuild our forces. But these fully developed accanars showed up sooner than we expected and when they came to the world of the living we had to take action. So we were chosen," Renji stated.

"Who picked you guys?" Ichigo asked out of curiosity.

"General Yamamoto. Until the next central 46 is picked, he is commander in chief. Rukia was chosen because she knows you best,"

"That's not true! I was chosen for my ability," Rukia protested.

Renji ignored her, "And I was chosen because I'm quick and have extensive combat experience and I know Rukia. Then I was told to choose a combat team outside of the captain class. So I asked Ikkaku to accompany me. Then Yumichika decided to come along and Rangiku heard the commotion and didn't want to miss the fun. And because Rangiku was coming, Hitsugaya-taicho reluctantly came along to keep an eye on us," Renji went on.

"What is this, a pinic!" Ichigo said sarcasm heavy in his tone.

"In any case, Aizen definitely has his eyes on you, Ichigo Kurosaki," Hitsugaya statement, revealing his presence.

"Oh, Hitsugaya-taicho! There's the party pooper who wouldn't hide in the attic with us!" Matsumoto exclaimed.

"Were you waiting outside for someone to open the window? Not too smart. Boys with white hair aren't exactly a common sight around here," Renji commented.

Hitsugaya growled, "I'll remember this when we get back,"

"It's true that an arrancar is a hollow that torn off its mask. But removing the mask off a random hollow won't produce an effective arrancar," Hitsugaya paused, "If someone really wanted to create an army of arrancar to wage a war on the soul society, they'd start with hollows menos level and above."

"Menos and above? You mean theres a class above menos," Ichigo asked.

Hitsugaya sighed and switched his position, "Yes. To be more precise, there are three levels of menos. First the gillians-they're the lowest class, the foot soldiers. The menos you fought before coming to the soul society was just a gillian."

"That was…just a foot soldier," Ichigo murmured as realization flashed in his eyes.

"Gillians are gigantic, but slow. They have the intelligence of wild animals. Basically, nothing for a captain-level shinigami to handle. The next class is more problematic. The adjuchas. They're smaller than the gillians and fewer in number. But they're highly intelligent and much more dangerous. The adjuchas give orders to the gillians. Then there's the vasto-lords. They are about the size of humans. Only a few of them exist in all of Huenco Muendo. Now heres the really bad news. The vasto-lords are more powerful than the captains! And even worse, we're already down three captains. And if Aizen has ten or more vasto-lords under his command then we're doomed."
