"I found you."

The group looked up to find the source. Tosen looked down at them. "You have done a great injustice by killing Lord Aizen. I can't let you live," he said, drawing his zanpakuto.

"Why us? We didn't kill him! None of us did!" Ichigo yelled up at him.

"Was it not your zanpakuto that cut him?" Tosen asked.

"Well I did fight him…..but I didn't kill him! I mean it!" Ichigo tried to tell the blind soul reaper.

"You still fought him, that in itself is unjustified," Tosen said, unfazed. Ulquiorra stepped forward.

"Ichigo didn't kill him. I saw Gin Ichimaru kill him," he said, hoping to avoid a conflict. Tosen didn't listen, but attacked. Ichigo blocked with Zangetsu.

"Damn, not gonna listen to reason are you?" Ichigo mumbled to the former captain. He just put more force behind his attack.

"Koten Zanshun! I reject!" Orihime yelled, releasing Tsubaki. The spirit missed Tosen, but caused the man to jump back. Ichigo taking this opportunity charged forward and swung. He left a deep wound in the man's upper arm. Tosen swung his sword, hitting Ichigo in his side. He grabbed his side and fell to one knee just as a few spiritual arrows flew past his head.

"What the hell Uryu! Are you trying to hit me too!" Ichigo yelled, glaring at the Quincy.

"You were in the way. It is not my fault if you don't move," Uryu replied calmly. "We should focus on the enemy in front of us." Just as the sentence was finished, Tosen appeared next to the Quincy. Uryu narrowly dodged the sword swinging to the side by jumping to his left.

"I will defeat you," Tosen said, turning to swing at Orihime.

"Santen Kesshun! I reject!" Orihime barely was able to raise her shield to block the swing.

"Getsuga Tensho!" Tosen skillfully dodged the attack and appeared next to Ichigo, hitting him on the back of his neck. Uryu fired a few more arrows, followed by Chad's spiritual attack. Ichigo dropped to the ground, unconscious, while Tosen blocked the arrows, but took Chad's attack full force. He coughed up a bit of blood. Orihime ran to Ichigo's side.

"Santen Kesshun!" she put up her shield blocking another swing from Tosen's zanpakuto. "Ichigo!" she said, trying to shake him awake.

"You leave me no-!" Tosen was cut of by a fatal blow by Ulquiorra. Tosen fell to his knees. "U-ulquiorra? W-why?" Ulquiorra didn't say anything as the former captain fell.

"Ichigo! Ichigo!" Orihime yelled, shaking the boy.

"What!" Ichigo yelled, finally waking up. He blinked. "Oh, I'm sorry Orihime," he apologized; seeing how startled she looked. "What happened?"

"You were knocked out and Ulquiorra beat Tosen without your help," Uryu answered, with a hint of smugness.

Ichigo looked to the arrancar. He slightly nodded. "There you are! Everyone ok?" Urahara said, running towards the group.

"Man this guy…..Why does he show up at the end of a battle?" Ichigo said, half to himself and Orihime. "I mean I know he could get here and help during the stupid battle, but nooo…." He started mumbling under his breath. Orihime stared at the mumbling boy.

"I'm glad you're all ok!" the man said, smiling. "Oh! Before I forget, Ulquiorra your gigai is finished. You can start right away," Urahara continued.

"Can I start tomorrow? I want to start tomorrow," Ulquiorra said.

"Hmmm, I guess you can. I had Tessai finish unstocking for the day," he said, taping his fan against his chin. Ulquiorra nodded. "Well it seems you don't need me, so I shall take my leave." With that, Urahara left, leaving the group staring at his back.

"What just happened?" Uryu said, pushing up his glasses after the man had disappeared. Chad didn't say anything. Ichigo shrugged. Orihime started giggling, causing the group to look at her.

A few months later

"Ichigo!" Orihime said, running to catch up to the orange haired boy. "Are you going to visit Ulquiorra?"

"Yeah…" Ichigo said, distractedly. "I think I should." The boy let a small smile show. Orihime looked up at him, then smiled.

Ulquiorra was sweeping the front of the shop, when he spotted Ichigo. The former arrancar slightly smiled, "Hey."

"Hey, you want to get some lunch?"

"Sure. Let me ask." Ulquiorra went into the shop. "Urahara said I can. Where did you have in mind?"

"There is this new place that just opened a few days ago. I was thinking…"

Kyo: Santen Kesshun is Orihime's shield and Koten Zanshun is Orihime's attack. Tsubaki is the spirit she uses to attack with when using Koten Zanshun. WATASHI WA OETA! (I finished!) The story I Found You ends! *nods* I wanted to add more to story, but I decided it should end like this. *nods* This is where I ask the readers….Hey! Reader! Did you like my story! Yes, this does mean you have to tell me through a review. *glares* Yes, that does include those who think about it, cause as far as I'm concerned I can't read minds.
