Here's chapter 2 for your reading pleasure! It sort of overlaps with Bleach Chat 17, whose recap is as follows:

Grimmjow was enraged because of what happened with Neliel so he demanded Urahara, Hitsugaya, Matsumoto, Ikkaku, Yoruichi, Shuheii, and then Shunsui, Ukitake, and even Soi Fon and Byakuya to allow him entry to Soul Society despite the fact that he is not allowed in because he used to be in league with Aizen. However, Urahara convinced Shunsui and Ukitake to let Grimmjow in anyway because if Neliel was such a huge help to them in the past, they wanted to return the favour to her and Grimmjow was dating her. He was allowed entry on one condition: Matsumoto, Shuheii, and Yoruichi would go with him to make sure he doesn't double-cross anyone.

Hitsugaya was also troubled, but it was due to his inability to get a hold of Karin. Worries increased as everyone was concerned for Ichigo and Rukia's well beings – well first both of them and then just Ichigo when Rukia had arrived to the Urahara shop.


Chapter 2: Elevation of Worries

Wisps of smoke cleared, showing two figures both alike but one was like an inverted clone of the other. Trench coats, both black and white, flowed between them as they faced each other for a moment before charging towards each other as metal struck against metal repetitively. Ogichi cackled with every blow while Ichigo swung with all his might against the offending enemy, anger still blazing in his amber irises.

"You'll never see your son again! I will have your body! There's nothing you can do about it!"

"Oh yeah? Well you know what? That shit isn't happening! I'm going to get my son back whether you like it or not!"

They stalled as they leaned into each other – sword against sword – trying to stave each other off. "What about your precious sister?" Ogichi questioned as his smirk grew wider, hoping to increase the anger within the young shinigami facing him off.

"WHAT?! What the fuck do you mean? Don't you fucking tell me that you and Orihime took her as well!" Ichigo growled as the fury increased even more.

Ogichi laughed. "She was the one responsible for what happened to your family. It was she who made your dear sister pass out and made your father fall asleep, but most importantly, she was the one who brought Ryuichi to us!!!"

Ichigo could not believe what he was hearing. Yuzu? She could never have done those terrible things! Never in a million years!

"You're probably wondering something along the lines of 'how could my sister have done this when she has a heart of gold and all that mushy shit,'" Ogichi explained, attempting to push the preoccupied shinigami back. "Aizen-sama hypnotized her with his zampakutou, turning her against all of you! After all, all of you took advantage of the poor girl."

Ichigo roared in disapproval as he pushed back his counterpart with all of his strength. His eyes were widening in extreme furiousness; his heart was rapidly beating with adrenaline. He charged towards his adversary and slammed his sword down upon him, and Ogichi brought his sword up to block it.

"WE WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT SHIT TO HER! I'LL MAKE AIZEN PAY FOR WHAT HE DID TO HER AFTER I TAKE CARE OF YOU!" Ichigo screamed as he tried to break through Ogichi's defenses.

"You're so naïve, King! I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! SHE BELONGS TO AIZEN-SAMA NOW, LIKE YOUR SON! YOU CAN'T DEFEAT AIZEN-SAMA!"

Then he brought his hand up to his sword and shouted, "GETSUGA…TENSHOU!" A massive dome of bright white light surrounded both of them as it spread along the vast area where they were.


Several kilometers away, a pair of ancient, Japanese-style doors opened, making way for a diminutive captain. They disappeared as soon as he stood on the verdant soccer field, and he looked around his surroundings.

This was the place where he had helped Karin win her soccer game against those guys that were threatening to take the field away from her and her friends. It was also the place where he had saved her life from that hollow that attacked shortly after the game ended. Even though there weren't so many, these memories were very important to Hitsugaya Toushirou for it was these moments had made he and Karin draw closer together.

Now he needed to find her, to see if she was okay.

He saw something peculiar towards the northeast of the spot he was standing in: a dome of bright white light and a thundering boom that was associated with it. Could it be Ichigo fighting his hollow spirit? The young captain had a feeling that would be the case. If that where the fight was, then nearby that would be the Kurosaki household. His heart grew faster as he flash stepped in that direction, secretly praying that Karin would be safe.


Rukia stood outside the Urahara shop, taking a deep breath. If anyone would be willing to help her get into Hueco Mundo, it would be Urahara since he did this before the last time they went there.

Pulling the screen door open, she stepped inside and slowly pushed the door closed.

Suddenly a voice startled her. "Ah, Rukia-chan, how may I help you?" She whirled around to see Tessai, the shopkeeper assistant, with his glasses sparkling in the ceiling light and large mustache covering most of his lower face. "I need to see Urahara-san, please," she answered in a soft voice.

Tessai bowed in respect. "I'll get him in a moment, but look at you! You look beat up! What happened?"

Rukia told Tessai all what happened – about her son, about the mystery guest that she had to fight, about Ichigo still fighting his hollow spirit. Tessai nodded in understanding. "I need to talk to Urahara-san. I'm desperate! Please, Tessai, please go get him," Rukia finished, eyes wide with despair for her son.

"You want me to heal you-"

"Just go!"

Tessai bowed once more, opened his laptop and entered the chatroom. Rukia watched intently as he had typed his messages.

Then he signed out and closed his laptop back to its partial state. "He has signed off and is in the other room. Want me to come with you?" Tessai asked and Rukia shook her head. "No thanks, Tessai, I would rather go on my own, but thank you though." Tessai nodded in approval as Rukia quickly rushed past him to the room where Urahara was.

Urahara signed out of his computer, puzzled by what Rukia wanted. There she stood in his doorway, looking as though she had just run a mile. "Kuchiki-san, what's wrong?" He inquired, worry shining through his eyes.

As Rukia spoke, desperation and plea filled her voice, and fear showed through her eyes. "Urahara-san, I need to go to Hueco Mundo."

Urahara looked at her questionably. "What may I ask is this about?"

Tears started to drip down the Kuchiki's face; probably an unforgiving gesture for her family, but anything is possible for her son. "Urahara-san, I need to rescue my baby!" She sobbed, looking down at a certain spot on the floor, "A-Aizen sent O-Orihime to capture Ryuichi and carry him to Hueco Mundo. I-Ichigo is already fighting his hollow spirit…(sob)…and told me to go ahead of him!" Then she looked up to him, exposing her tear-stained face. Urahara stepped over and wrapped his arm around her, comforting her as she spoke. "I need help! You're the only one who can open a garganta into Hueco Mundo. So please…please…help…(sob)"

Urahara absorbed it in, eyes softening with sympathy. "I'll help you," he trailed off. Rukia looked up to him with surprise in her sad eyes. "You will?" Urahara nodded and smiled. "Since I had been helping you and Kurosaki-san in the past, I can do it again." Hope shone through Rukia's eyes as she smiled. "Thank you so much, Urahara-san!"

The shopkeeper nodded as he took his arm off Rukia's shoulders and walked towards the trap door nearby, gesturing her to follow him. Rukia obliged and followed him down the lengthy ladder that would lead them towards the spacious training room underneath the store.


Ichigo panted, bleeding heavily from the wound in his stomach; blood trickled down his chin. This was like déjà vu almost, except that this time it is in the real world. If he won the battle in his inner world, then sure he would win this one right?

However, judging from Ogichi's unscathed state, he had a strong feeling that things might be different this time. What was he going to do now?

"Looks like I'm gonna win this time," Ogichi chuckled as he smirked at his seriously wounded opponent.

Ichigo spat out a bit of blood and snarled, "You think I care?"

"Obviously, King, you're barely able to stand after that last attack I had inflicted on you. Get real, you're not gonna win. You're powers are mine!"

Without warning, the hollow sprang towards the Kurosaki, sword poised for another attack. Ichigo blocked it but was pushed back from the impact off guard, struggling to stave off the attack but his counterpart was stronger than he was. Swords clashed again and again, laughter joining the chorus of clanging from the impacts, until Ogichi landed a kick against the side of Ichigo's head, throwing him back against a nearby building.

A bit of rubble tumbled on top of the injured shinigami, and Ogichi just watched with bored eyes, walking towards him with his sword raised. "Seriously! Is this all what you've got? You're boring me! Your weakness sickens me!"

As soon he arrived to where Ichigo was trying to get up, he pressed his sword against his counterpart's throat. "Time to end this," he announced nonchalantly as he poised for his final strike through Ichigo's heart.

Ichigo's eyes landed on his sword a few feet away and then back at his opponent. At this point, he was screwed, but he needed to win this in order to protect Rukia.

He had sensed that her fight was finished and felt her presence at Urahara's shop earlier and was proud of her. Now he just needed to get out of this mess.

What was also especially important was his son, scared and alone in Hueco Mundo and wondering where his parents were. Ichigo had promised to his soul that he would protect his family and be a good father to his son, and that won't happen if he loses this fight. He might have been seriously injured and about to die on the spot, but he loved his son and girlfriend more than life itself and he was more than determined to do anything in his power to protect them.

"Ryuichi…" Ichigo muttered. Ogichi winced in response. "I'm coming for you, Ryuichi!" Ichigo muttered once again as he somersaulted towards his sword and charged towards his surprised, evil counterpart, swinging his sword repeatedly at him, pushing him back. Ogichi blocked every strike, growling every time. "What the fucking hell?! I thought I had you! Why the fuck do you keep doing this?"

"It's a little something called determination, Ogichi. When you have a family like me, maybe you would understand. Oh yeah, that's right, you don't! You never will because right here and right now I'm getting you out of my way!" Ichigo snapped with every swing. Ogichi snickered in reaction.

With one final stab, Ichigo's sword ran the hollow spirit through the chest. Triumphantly smirking, Ichigo continued, "It's been fun, but I think it's time to end this and take back what is mine."

Ogichi growled in disapproval, blood running down from his mouth and collecting around the blade that lodged in his black heart. "You…bastard…" The hollow disintegrated and formed the full mask on Ichigo's face, before it shattered and disappeared.

Swinging Zangetsu to the side and reverting back to his original, shikai state, Ichigo turned into the general direction of Urahara's shop, eyes narrowing in determination, before he took off into the sky after his beloved, who was definitely waiting for him at that very moment.


Hitsugaya watched as Karin slept peacefully on her bed, sighing continuously. This was what he had been worried about, but at least for now she is safe.

When he found her lying unconscious on the couch, his heart shattered into a million pieces, vowing to himself that he would destroy anyone who had done this to her. From when he found her to when he laid her in her bed, he cursed himself for being unable to protect her. She had meant a lot to him, a lot more than Hinamori had meant a lot to him – he could admit that – and he was determined to protect her from any ill that awaited her.

What was even more horrifying was the missing baby from his crib. What happened here? He knew that Rukia and Ichigo were fighting something out there. Maybe whatever it was they were fighting against took their son? Aizen definitely had something to do with this, the diminutive captain figured. If that would be the case, then what would the bastard ever want with the kid?

Then it dawned on him. "Ichigo and Rukia," he mumbled, "Aizen wanted to capture the kid so that he would get to his parents!" He stared out of the window. He never was that close to Ichigo, but he was worried about his well-being. Both he and Rukia are going to be lured into some kind of trap and they don't even know it.

It would not be wise to talk them out of it because knowing those two and their stubbornness, they would not listen. Besides, Hitsugaya was more than confident that whatever mess they would get into they would get out of it together.

Karin stirred in her sleep, causing her boyfriend to look at her thoughtfully. How peaceful she looked, the captain could not help but smile at her innocent form. "Don't worry, Karin," Hitsugaya muttered in her ear, taking her hand in his, "I won't let anything happen to you…because if anything else were to happen to you, then your brother would have my head."

He kissed her cheek gently and lay beside her, cheek touching hers. Almost instinctively, Karin snuggled against her boyfriend, a soft smile gracing her lips.


Next Time on Incomplete Sorrows

"Are you ready for this?" Yoruichi asked the determined espada beside her, knowing fully well what he was about to say. "Let's do this," Grimmjow answered as he opened the garganta to Soul Society.

Second chapter done! I understand that on chat 17 that some people were confused about what was happening. So I am thinking about making a "video" version of this story. It would somewhat be like a chat, but it won't be in the chat room. However, I need your feedback if you would like to see this. Please include this when you review. I hope you enjoy this!
