Hi everyone!

It's been a super long time since i updated and i am really sorry about that. I've been busy with exams, shows, and getting ready for shows. But now you guys have my undivided attention at least until Fall rolls around and this whole crazy cycle starts again. But i haven't abandoned this story!

I had a WHOLE lot of trouble with this chapter. It took me over a month just to type it. It really just doesn't set right with me. So it probably will suck really badly. Once again, i'm sorry about that. I am, after this chapter, going to move away from the main Bleach story line and make it more workable for me. :D

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed and helped me out!

Please enjoy and don't worry the next chapter will be ten times better!

Hitsugaya breathed heavily as his bankai drained his reiki. Shawlong seemed bored and wasn't even breaking a sweat. Kurama and Yusuke were baffled as their attacks didn't seem to inflict any damage.

Kurama and Yusuke were currently assisting Matsumoto, who was having more trouble with her arrancar than Hitsugaya was.

"Hmph…pretty amusing," Shawlong showed no real interest in the out of breath captain before.

"What?" Hitsugaya growled in annoyance.

"Your bankai is pretty pitiful. Are you sure you're a captain?" Shawlong sneered.

"I'm not done yet," Hitsugaya said, his temper flaring. He whipped hyourinmaru's tail, catching Shawlong off guard.

"Drat,"

"Hmm…whipping your tail? A desperate move. Is that really the best you can do?" Shawlong stated as he assessed the flesh wound, "how unfortunate. Your ice flower is coming apart."

"So?" Hitsugaya really hated being underestimate.

"Unless I'm wrong, that flower hovering behind you indicates how much power your bankai has left. You're young and your bankai is probably imperfect. I could wait until your bankai disappeared to kill you but I suppose you are a captain and you deserve some respect," Shawlong's reiki exploded.

"Yusuke, I've got this one. Go and help Hitsugaya-taicho!" Kurama commanded as he narrowly missed the arrancar's attack.

Shawlong flicked his wrist causing multiple cuts up and down Hitsugaya's body.

"Arrancar #11 Shawlong Qufang. It was nice meeting you little captain,"

"Spirit gun!" Yusuke fired a huge beam of reiki which Shawlong narrowly avoided. The concentration of Yusuke's reiki left injuries on Shawlong's shoulders and torso.

"You little brat! You won't be so lucky next….,"

"Captain! Gentei Kaijo has been approved!" Matsumoto announced as she easily deflected the arrancar's attack.

"Finally," Hitsugaya sighed, leaving the arrancars and the tanteis completely confused.

"What?"

"GENTEI KAIJO!"

Beams of concentrated reiki surrounded Matsumoto, Hitsugaya, and Renji.

"Gentei Kaijo? What is that?"

"It's a limiter of sorts. It limits our power to up to eighty percent so we don't adversely affect the Nigenkai. It's over Shawlong," Hitsugaya spoke as Shawlong and Nakim tried to get away only to be blocked by Yusuke and Kurama.

"You're not going anywhere! Spirit gun!"

Hitsugaya came and finished the rest, completely obliterating the arrancar.

"Good job, Yusuke, Kurama---TAICHO!" Matsumoto screeched as the toll of Hitsugaya's injuries, caused him to become unconscious.

"Orihime! Orihime! Come here! Please!" Matsumoto pleaded to the girl on the street.

"Shit! We're in deep shit now," Yusuke stated causing Kurama to roll his eyes.

{With Ichigo}

Ichigo swung his sword at Grimmjow, only to be blocked and flung around like a rag doll. Grimmjow was about to strike Ichigo's heart, but, fortunately, Ichigo recovered and shunpo'ed out of the way, catching Grimmjow slightly off guard. Ichigo thrust zangetsu at Grimmjow slightly off guard. Ichigo thrust zangetsu at Grimmjow's torso, only to have Grimmjow's arm block the impact. Ichigo's dodged Grimmjow's punch, but didn't anticipated the kick he received in the face. The force of the kick pushed Ichigo to the ground as Grimmjow pummeled him into a pulp.

"You call that little piece of shit a bankai? It only gives you a little speed! Is that all you got, shinigami?" Grimmjow jeered as he watched the smoke clear around the fallen Ichigo.

"Getsuga Tensho," Ichigo screeched as he sent black reiki at Grimmjow, who was caught off guard.

The smoke cleared revealing an uninjured Grimmjow, "What was that? That wasn't in Ulquiorra's report!"

"Still disappointed, arrancar?" Ichigo smirked.

Unnoticed by Ichigo and Grimmjow, Tatsuki stood behind a wall watching the fight with apprehension as a portal was materializing in the sky.

"Ichigo..,"

Kanama Tosen appeared from the portal, watching the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow with disdain.

"Ha, ha,ha, alright shinigami! You're finally worth killing now!" Grimmjow said maliciously.

Ichigo stood silently, having an inner battle with his hollow gauging how long until it came out.

"Well, shinigami, I wouldn't just stand there! Now it's my turn!"

"Sheath your sword, Grimmjow!" Kanama command appearing behind Grimmjow.

"Tosen!"

Ichigo watched the scene above him, clearly forgotten.

"Why are you here?" Grimmjow shouted accusingly.

"Why do you ask? I think you know already. You invaded the ningenkai without permission, immobilized five arrancars without permission, which you lost all five, not to mentiom Aizen-sama is very displeased with you. These are serious offenses, Grimmjow," Tosen explained, "let's go. Your punishment will be decided in Huenco Muendo."

"Fine," Grimmjow growled sourly.

"W-wait! Where the hell are you going!" Ichigo demanded.

"Shut your mouth. We're going back to Huenco Muendo," Grimmjow answered.

"What? You can't come here and leave just like that! You got to be fucking kidding me!" Ichigo shouted in frustration, "We're not finished yet!"

"Not finished? Give me a break! Tosen just saved your ass, shinigami! It's obvious that move of yours take a huge toll on you. You'd be lucky to do it three more times, but even if you did it one hundred more times, you still wouldn't be able to defeat me in release mode!" Grimmjow stated, "Don't forget my name! And pray that you'll never hear it again! Grimmjow Jeagerjaques." And with that last note, Tosen and Grimmjow disappeared through the portal leaving a wounded Ichigo both physically and mentally.

I hope i didn't discourage anyone from reading my story :(

Please review and give me any suggestion, but please be nice about it. There are no need for flames!

Well, until next time, bye!
