Chapter 5

Awakening-A new story

A few days after Uryiu, having thrown away his former title and name. No longer allying himself with the Arrancer as the 4th seat, Ulquiorra - Had been brought to the world of the living for whatever reason, rolled out of bed with a groan as a woman's voice called from the other room. Getting up to see what was going on he blinked, taking a few seconds to recall the events of the past few days, being taken in by a small family of three after spending the night out on the street after waving goodbye to Orihime. "Yeah, I'll be right there" he yawned as he took the stairs down to the front-room before veering to the left and heading towards the kitchen to pick up a few pieces of freshly made toast. "Mmmm I still can't get over how good this tastes" he stated, smiling in delight as he let the bread dissolve in his mouth. Taking another small bite before sitting it down and moving back to the front-room, slipping on a pair of shoes. "Well, anyways, I'm off to school. Thanks again, you've been really kind!"

"Oh, don't think too much about it dear, we couldn't just let you stay out on such a cold night, now could we?" the woman replied, baffling the man as he started towards school, wondering where he was suppose to meet up with Orihime and Ichigo. His mind in a daze as he kept his feet moving, the sky turning from a dazzling blue to a fading orange and soon to black. "Hey, where you bee...?" A voice called, snapping him from his thoughts, Uryiu looking in the direction of another similar looking female.

Was that... That was it, it was Rukia. "Guess I forgot!" He called back, waving towards her as his other hand went behind his head. A small smile creeping up on his face, unaware that Rukia's sentence had been cut off. "Behind you!" she called, shaking her head 'here I go again'. Rukia rushed forward to push the male out of the way, causing him to look behind him and smile at the sight of a hollow. "Hey there, little guy!" he called, the thing standing at twenty feet. Two massive arms on each side of his torso and quite short legs that resembled a kangaroo's, the mask jutting out in the form of a triceratops.

"Are you stupid!" she called, grabbing him and throwing him away from the hollow before releasing her Gigai. "Ha!" She then charged out, her Gigai falling to the ground as she fought the Hollow, swinging in a downward arc as she rushed it, hoping to dismantle it in one blow. The Hollow though, being much stronger than the average level hollow grabbed at her Zanpakuto and flung her right into Uryiu, knocking her unconscious.

"Wh..." Uryiu looked around, now standing for some reason even though he didn't dodge, not having enough room. For whatever reason, Rukia's spiritual pressure spiked the moment she came into contact with Uryiu and caused him to leave his body and inhabit the form of a Substitute Soul Reaper like Ichigo. His Zanpakuto was massive, the blade slightly curved as a small semi-spherical hole shown through the back of the blade (Like the half circle in the front of Zabuza's sword from Naruto). "What's going on...?" The shock of what just happened and the reality that Uryiu was standing there as a Soul Reaper being too much for him to handle... Allowing the hollow the perfect oppurtuny to strike, causing him to go flying before lunging towards Rukia.

Rukia's face as she saw the hollow charge was one of fear, her Zanpakuto out of reach and her body barely responding to her whims due to the mass amount of spiritual pressure discharged. "I... I'm a Soul Reaper...?" Uryiu stated before looking up at the charging Hollow. "Alright, then I guess I have no choice!" Rukia being the dear friend that she was to Orihime, he couldn't let her be harmed. Not if he was going to ruin Ichigo's life and steal her from him.

"Now die!"
