Hay! From now on each chapter is going to be MUCH longer. YAY!

After the battle everyone looked at Ako in surprise. Except for Urahara, of course."N-no way." Hitsugaya said. "Wow!" Orihime exclaimed. "She didn't even have to use her Bankai!" Yumichika and Ikkaku said simultaneously. Not a single one of the soul reapers could believe it. "That was awesome Izumi-Chan!" Rangiku said. Ako said nothing. "She's way stronger than any NORMAL captain don't you think?" Uryu whispered to Chad. "Definitely." The tall man replied. "I can only imagine her Bankai." Rukia sighed. Ichigo was too amazed to say anything. Kisuke then said, "Why don't all of you head on home?" "It's getting late." "Let us go" Yumichika said. "Right." Ikkaku said simply. "Ichigo, I'm staying with you again!" "Whatever."

-Later—

"Ichigo." Rukia said. "Yeah?" "That Ako gives me a bad feeling." "You to, huh?" They continued to talk for a little while. "Well, whatever's wrong I'm sure we'll get through it. Now then, let's get some rest, we have school tomorrow." Rukia said. "Oh yeah…" Ichigo sighed. I hope so.

-The next day—

Ichigo knocked on his closet door. "Rukia!" He yelled "Rukia I swear if you don't come out now I'm going to open this door!" No answer. "RUKIA!" Still, no answer. "Dammit!" He opened the closet door. Rukia wasn't in there! Rukia's not in here! Maybe she's already at school. Ichigo looked at the clock. "Holy shit, I'm late!" He ran down stairs and headed off to school. He barely got there on time. But one thing was off. Neither Rukia nor Ako were there.

I shouldn't be so worried, they probably just skipped. I'll head on over to Hat 'n' clogs' place after school. Ichigo sighed. Will it really be that easy? Only time would tell.

-After school-

Ichigo went over to Kisuke's house only to find something amazing. Ako was lying in bed and she had fainted. Kisuke sat near her with a worried look on his face. "What the hell happened?" Kisuke looked at Ichigo. "Apparently, that arrancar she faced slipped her a little poisonous goodbye present." "Great, now not only is Rukia missing but now Ako got poisoned!" Ichigo couldn't believe it. "Rukia's gone missing?" Kisuke inquired. "Yeah! I haven't seen her since yesterday!" "O, joy." Urahara said.

-In Hueco Mundo—

"With you, little girl, Ichigo will come running to save you!" "Then, you'll both die together!" Someone said. "Ichigo will get you all, especially because we have Ako on our side!" We know, you fool!" Another rough voice said. "We have already taken the…necessary precautions." A small, younger voice said cheerfully. "Don't worry because by the time were done with you you'll be glad you going to die!" They all started hitting and kicking, slapping andhurting Rukia. She said nothing.

-Back to the world of the living—

"Damn." Ichigo said "I'm going to gather everyone else; I'm going to save Rukia." I knew you would say that." Urahara sighed. Don't worry Ako, Rukia you're all going to be okay. As soon as Ichigo left Toshiro Hitsugaya came in. "Urahara, open up a garganta for me please, I need to investigate something." "Whatever you say, Toshiro." "That's Captain Hitsugaya to you." "Yeah, yeah." Kisuke said.

Ichigo went and got the others and came back to Urahara shop."Welcome back Ichigo and friends." As soon as Orihime saw Ako she knew what had happened. "Mr. Kisuke, Can I try to heal her?" "I don't know if she can even be healed the slightest bit." Orihime attempted to heal Ako. "I didn't heal her completely, but she will at least live until I get back." Orihime said sadly. "Don't worry, Orihime-Chan." They all went off to Hueco Mundo. "I'll save you Rukia, no matter what!" Ichigo whispered to himself.
