Chapter 2

Number 2

Takeshi limped down the street, bandages wrapped around most of his body. After the fight with Captain Kempachi he was bruised. Everywhere. His leg suddenly gave out from under him, and he fell. As he was falling a pair of hands reached out and caught him.

"Captain Takeshi, are you alright?" Ikkaku asked.

"I'm fine, thank you" Takashi stood.

"You should go see someone to make sure your leg is alright," Yumichika said, an all knowing tone in his voice.

Takashi looked back at him and glared. Yumichika closed his mouth and kept walking forward. After taking a moment to get his balance Takeshi kept moving and wondered where he should go next. It's not like it would smack him right in the face.

Just then a body came and slammed into Takashi sending him sprawling back, pain jutting from his leg. He landed on his back and waited a moment before he sat up to look at his assailant. The person on the ground in front of him looked the complete opposite of what he expected.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry," the young boy said.

"Hanataro what are you trying to do, kill him?" Ikkaku asked.

The one named Hanataro quickly got to his knees and bowed deeply, "I am very sorry for running into you sir."

Takashi stood, "No, you are not to blame, please stand."

Hanataro stood and looked up only to quickly look down again, "Your leg, your hurt," he said wide eyed.

Takashi smiled, "No, its fine, really, it's alright."

Hanataro looked him in the eye, "Please let me help," he then got on his knees and reached around to his pack and took out a small cloth and began to clean the gash up Takashi's leg. Takashi winced in pain, it wasn't deep, but it still hurt. After he finished cleaning it, Hanataro took out some bandages and wrapped them around Takashi's leg until the cut was completely covered.

"That should make it feel a little better," Hanataro said panting.

"Why were you running Hanataro?" Takashi asked.

Hanataro looked at him, "My captain needed some things and asked me to run and grab them," he said smiling.

Takashi smiled, "Well then I won't keep you, thank you for your help Hanataro."

Hanataro bowed and then ran off. Takashi stared as he ran off then turned around and continued walking.

"Captain?" Ikkaku asked.

"Yes Ikkaku?"

"Something on your mind?"

"A few things yes Ikkaku but nothing to worry about, now let's keep walking, there is someone I know who will not be too happy to see me again," Takashi answered chuckling to himself.

Elsewhere

Hiding behind the rock he took deep breaths. He had to get out. He turned and ran to the door. He knew what he had to do. He had to find the orange haired human and tell them what he knew. Aizen must be stopped and he would not stop until he was killed. As he ran a sudden form appeared in front of him.

"Where do you think your going Grimjow?"
