Chapter Seven: The Entry.

Ariel: Next! Kimiko and the others are gonna- AAAHG!!

Kimiko: NO SPOILERS!!!! SHE DOESN'T OWN BLEACH. And next chapter, the song is gonna change.

Ariel: By the way… Kimiko is the FOURTH seat to squad 11. I know I messed up a couple of times and Rukia is younger than her.

I hope they understand… I'm not angry, I'm just saying… Sometimes Good-bye is a Second Chance.

About a week after Bankai training, Kisuke sends a message to the other people going to save Rukia. "Are you sure that these people can be trusted?" Kimiko asks him. He smiles, "Of course, Kimi-chan!" "Alright… But if even one of them crosses me or tries to get in my way… I'll kill them…" she says, "And that's not a threat, Kisuke… It's a promise." Kisuke grins behind his fan, "You're really that serious about saving Rukia, huh?" Kimiko nods, "I'm the only person from my family that's actually trying to save her..." Kisuke looks at the clock, "Well, it's time... Please hide behind those rocks and wait for my signal." Kimiko nods and hides as Kisuke walks up the ladder.

----------- A few Minutes later...-----------

The other four people going on the trip make it to the training room. Kisuke says, "Alright... There's one more person coming with you... She's gonna be a big help to you." "Then who is she?" One of them asks. "I'm Kuchiki Kimiko... The fourth seat to Squad 11..." Kimiko says, stepping out from behind the rock. The others stare at her and the Orange haired boy, Ichigo, says, "Wait, Kuchiki... You're related to Byakuya?" Kimiko nods and answers, "He's my older brother... Rukia is my sister." "Why are you helping us? Won't you get in big trouble with your family?" some guy with glasses asks. "Hell yeah... I might even be killed... But I don't care... As long as I save Rukia, I don't care how many times I get cut with a blade... Not even if it were from Head Captain Yamamoto's blade," Kimiko says, "So... Kisuke, when are we leaving?" Kisuke smiles as he snaps his fingers and a portal appears. He explains everything but Kimiko tunes out of it because he told her all about it earlier. "But be forewarned... If you die in the Soul Society... You cannot come back..." Kisuke says. "We already know all of that… If we didn't, then we wouldn't still be here," Ichigo says. Kimiko smiles, "Well said, Kid… Now let's get going!" The five of them and Yoruichi run through the gate. Kisuke walks up to it and puts a hand to it, "… we're all counting on you…" Tessai walks up to Kisuke, "Boss… why didn't you tell Miss Kimiko about-?" "Because she never would've believed me…" Kisuke interrupts, "She's strong, smart, a hell of a fighter and an unmistakable beauty… That's why I can't ruin her happiness… It would kill her if she knew." Tessai looks down, "I see… Yes, sir."

--------- Running through the senkaimon. -------------

"What the hell is that thing chasing us!?!" Kimiko yells, looking back at the huge, black spirit devourer. "Don't look back; it'll only slow you down! If that spirit current swallows you up, it's all over!" Yoruichi yells. Kimiko just keeps running for her life. She makes it to the end and looks back, the guy with glasses, Uryu, got caught. But then the girl uses some shielding spell and the rest of them rocket out of the senkaimon, slamming into Kimiko. They land in the middle of the Rukon district. "Ow… Is everybody okay?" Kimiko asks. "We're all alive, Kimiko…" Yoruichi says. Kimiko stands up, "So this is the Rukongai… I've never really seen it…" "What? All your life in the Soul Society and you have never been outside of those walls?" Yoruichi asks. Kimiko nods, "Byakuya never let me outside of those walls… But I wish that he did… It's so beautiful out here…" Ichigo stupidly tries to run into the Seireitei. "Stop, you idiot! If you do that, you'll die!!" Yoruichi yells. The walls slam down just before Ichigo makes it in. A HUGE man Appears. "It's been a long time since someone's tried to pass the gates…" he says. "… Fuck." Kimiko says, "Jidanbo… the west gate keeper…"
