A Lonely Life: Chapter Two: A Problem
"So Kurosaki has been kidnapped by three Espada?"
Kisuke Urahara nodded at Toshiro Hitsugaya, the Tenth Division Captain.
"Well, I will have to report this to Soul Society then."
Toshiro walked out of the Urahara Shouten, planing to set up a way to contact Soul Society. Renji walked in looking very dazed.
"Where's Ichigo Urahara?"
Kisuke looked a Renji with a grim expression
"In Hueco Mundo, Yoruichi and I didn't get there in time."
Kisuke and Yoruichi Shihouin had left the Shouten as soon as they felt Ichigo's Reiatsu rise then suddenly drop, but had not made it to the park in time to stop them taking Ichigo. They had brought Renji and Rukia to the Shouten as soon as possible, and set to work healing them.
"And Freeloader-San, you should be resting right now."
Urahara hid his grin behind his fan and Renji clenched his fist.
"Stop calling me that!"
Renji stormed off and Yoruichi came in.
"You should be nicer to him Kisuke, he feels that he failed his friends."
"I know that Yourichi but maybe hearing me make jokes will take his mind off of him."
"What are we going to tell Iss-"
Isshin Kurosaki burst through the door.
"Kisuke where is my daughter?"
Kisuke turned to face his friend.
"I'm sorry Isshin, we were too late..."
Meanwhile In The Next Room
"Ichigo!"
Rukia woke up with a start and her head shot upwards. She saw Renji sitting, looking out of the window.
"Renji! What happened to Ichigo?!"
Rukia leapt up and grabbed Renji by his sleeve. Renji looked at her, a sad expression on his face.
"Oh, Renji... It's not your fault."
"Yes it is Rukia. I failed you and Ichigo. You got hurt and Ichigo has disappeared, she could be dead! I should have stopped them."
"Renji... I'm fine now and Ichigo is strong, she'll be okay."
Renji turned away from her, a guilty look in his eyes.
