Ichigo, his friends, and his soul sister brought Chad to the hospital as soon as they dropped Kairn off at the house. Brielle wasn't going to leave her unprotected, so she asked Fox Fire to keep an eye on her, and make sure no sinners try anything, and also had Aqua Feather fly high above, so she can keep a bird's eye view.

The man that saved Kairn is with Ichigo and his friends at the hospital, sitting in a chair.

Rukia walks over to him and asks, "Now tell me: just who are you?" She looked that the chains on his body. "From the looks of those chains… I'm assuming you're also a sinner?" The others looked surprised by this, except Brielle who saw him come through the portal; not only that but she can smell Hell all over him.

The sinner looks amused by the question. "Very observant of you; my name is Kokuto, and as you can see I'm also a sinner of Hell," Kokuto confirmed while raising his arm to show off the chain.

"Are you kidding us?!" Renji asked in disbelief. No one really listened to this, but they also want to know the same thing.

"Why did you help us?" Rukia asked.

Brielle sighed and face-palmed; she can't figure out why everyone keeps asking stupid questions today. "I don't think he was helping. And besides, I don't trust him," she stated.

Ichigo's body tensed up after hearing his sister say that. When she doesn't trust someone, she's more than likely right.

"But he did help, that makes him a good person," Orihime protested. Brielle was going to ignore her for both of their sakes, but it was hard... She almost punched the woman.

Kokuto sat up a little. "No, she's right, I didn't help you. I only did it because I hate those guys. They're a bunch of losers." He chuckled at the end.

Brielle looked at Ichigo and saw a look on his face. {I know what you're thinking. We could just go to Hell ourselves, but I don't think letting him know that you a Devil-Spawn is a good idea yet,} Brielle said.

{Good thing Kokuto can open one for us,} Ichigo replied. He walked over to stand in front of the sinner and said, "I don't care if you're a sinner, or that you didn't help us. All I care about is that you can open a portal to get me into Hell!" Ichigo was gritting his teeth at the end.

Before Kokuto could say anything though, someone blew a hole in the floor right next to Ichigo. The orangette moved away from the hole, but didn't get very far, because the one that did it grabbed him. "WHO HURT YOU?! I'LL KILL THEM!" The one to grab Ichigo and demand an answer was a Vasto Lorde that looked like Anubis.

'Oooohhhh… shooooot… it's Kuroda,' Ichigo thought while sweating bullets. He can't help but still be scared of him; he was scarred for life after all. "Um…" Ichigo held his hands up in front of him, and try to think of what to say, but was coming up with nothing.

"Kuroda…" Brielle started in a low tone. The Vasto Lorde turned to her with a glare. She smirked in reply. "You weren't supposed to leave the Dark Forest. So I have an idea as to where to send you for punishment…" She had an evil hissing sound coming from her tone.

Kuroda's eyes narrowed. "I don't care what you have to say… I'll kill the one that hurt Ichigo, and I'm going to enjoy it…" He hissed.

Brielle sighed and walked over to the Vasto Lorde, grab him, and then walk over to a shadow. She made claws out of darkness and ripped a hole in the shadow in front of her; the opening lead to Unohana's office. Brielle threw Kuroda down into the hole and stuck her head in it and looked at the captain of the 4th. "Keep him here, and if you have to, threaten him. Do not let him out of your sight," She told the healer and pulled her head back out from the hold.

Brielle closed the hole in the shadow, and then turned back to look at everyone in the room. "Continue…" She said with a wave of her hand.

Ichigo took a deep breath, and finished what he was saying. "I need to get to Hell. If I don't then Yuzu will…" He was trying to remember what happens to normal humans when they find themselves in Hell, but he's still shaken from Kuroda showing up out of nowhere.

"Will probably die," Kokuto finished. Ichigo made a horrified face; he hopes that that doesn't happen to Yuzu. "The atmosphere is not good for humans to breath. If your sister stays too long, then she'll die and be trapped in Hell as a sinner." The sinner turned toward Rukia and Renji. "I'm sure your Shinigami friends know something about what happens to sinners down there."

Rukia looked down and had a dark look on her face. "Yes, we did learn something about it. It…" Ichigo cut her off.

"Rukia, we don't have time for that. The sooner we get there, the better chances there are for Yuzu's survival. We need to get there now!" He exclaimed.

{We already know this, Rukia,} Brielle said to Rukia in her head, making her jump a little.

Kokuto sighed, "Alright, I'll take you there. I'm sure you'll be useful to me there anyway…" Both Brielle and Renji heard the evil undertone in the sinner's voice. Brielle turns her red and Brown eyes toward Renji's brown ones. After a moment, they nodded; they're both going to keep an eye on Kokuto.

Ichigo was ready to go right then and there, but Renji walked up to him. "Ichigo, we know nothing about this guy, you can't trust him," The red-haired Shinigami said.

"I know that, but I need him to get to Hell," Ichigo replied.

Rukia came up next. "We know that, and that's why we're coming with you."

"I'm going too," Uryu stated while pushing up his glasses.

"You know I'm ready to get payback on those guys," Brielle said with a smirk.

Ichigo smiled. "Thanks you guys." He turned to Kokuto. "We're ready," He said.

Kokuto smirked. "Good, then let's go. I'm about to open the gates to Hell."

~Back with Kuroda~

"How dare she put me here when she knows Ichigo is in danger!?" Unohana sighed; Kuroda has been flipping out for about a minute now after Brielle sent him to her. "I'll kill her if it means killing the one that hurt him! I'll rip their head off their shoulders!" He was starting to throw things and claw up some furniture that's in the room.

Unohana put her sweet smile on and let out a deadly aura that promised a painful death. "Kuroda…" The Vasto Lorde sensed the deadly aura and slowly turned around to face the Shinigami captain. Once he saw her face he paled more than even he thought was possible. "You're going to sit down and let Brielle and Ichigo do what needs to be done. Do I make myself clear?" A shadow was casted over Unohana's eyes.

Kuroda gulped, he didn't know what it was about this woman, but his instincts were telling him not to get on her bad side. "Y-yes, ma'am…"

"Good, than sit down and be quiet while I work." With that said, the captain went back to her paper work while Kuroda sat down and try to think of a way to get to Ichigo and kill the person that hurt him.

TBC

Yes, Kuroda was the one at the beginning of chapter 5. I tried to make the ending funny, so I hope you guys liked it. I don't think Kuroda is going to be in the rest of the story, but if people want to see him again sometime in the story, then just tell me. Though, more than one person is going to have to make the request for it.

Ichi: I didn't know he was going to be in here. :'(

Enj/Bri: You should have seen it coming. -_-

Shiro: He was in chapter 5 for cryin' out loud!

Ichi: Is Shiro going to be in this fanfic?

Enj/Bri: Not too much, every now and then maybe, but it's going to be more of Yuuto.

Shiro: Darn it! DX

Yuuto: Calm down, you're in so many more fanfictions than I'm going to be. Heck, this will most likely be the last time anyone will see me.

Enj/Bri: Unless I need OCs for other fanfics, then maybe you'll be in it, but you won't be Ichigo's inner demon anymore after this. You might even be human in some of them.

Yuuto: …Hu…man…? O.o OH HECK NO! DX

Enj/Bri: I said might. Cool you're jets and… O_O PUT THAT SCYTHE AWAY! D=

Yuuto: *holding scythe to my neck* Turn me human…and I will kill you… *hissing*

Enj/Bri: I…I want turn you human. =(

Yuuto: Good. *puts the scythe away*

Ichi&Shiro: …Please review… O.O
