Ichigo glared at Sesshomaru, "You know Kagome? Where is she?"
Rin blinked at seeing Ichigo scream. She nodded slowly, "You know Kagome-neechan?"
Ichigo looked at the little girl behind Sesshomaru's leg. He relaxed a bit, not wanting to let his temper get out and take it on the little girl. He nodded, "D-Do you know where she is at? It's important!"
Sesshomaru closed his eyes and let his nose get the scent of Kagome. He caught it. But in just a second, the smell went away, without moving…it just disappeared. He looked around his surroundings. Where had the scent gone?
Jaken looked up at Sesshomaru, "Sesshomaru-sama? What's wrong?"
"Inuyasha's wench scent…is gone" he whispered as he glared at air.
Ichigo looked at Sesshomaru, "Is this 'wench' you say…Kagome?"
Sesshomaru looked back at Ichigo, "You know that woman?" Ichigo growled under his breath, "It seems that you know her too"
Sesshomaru closed his eyes, "Kagome? So that's what her name was. I've heard that name, and it's been yelled a lot as well. The human girl who supposedly came from the future out of a well"
Ichigo looked at the well near him. So what Kagome was telling them the truth? He heard Sesshomaru continue on speaking, "That girl's scent is gone"
"What do you mean gone?" asked Ichigo raising his eye brow. Sesshomaru sniffed the air again, "It's completely gone…"
Ichigo was surely confused at his statement of Kagome's scent being gone. Didn't he say like a minute ago he could smell her? Ichigo looked at Sesshomaru with a serious expression, "I thought you said you could smell Kagome right now?"
"I did" answered Sesshomaru not looking at Ichigo, "But it disappeared"
"Meaning she walked away or went somewhere else?" asked Ichigo, wanting to know the answers as quickly as possible.
Sesshomaru shook his head and walked one step forward, "No, it's like it died"
"D-Died?" whispered Ichigo.
Ulquiorra looked at Grimmjow. He was smirking. Ulquiorra spoke, "Impressed?"
Grimmjow chuckled low, "Very. Who knew she would be this beautiful"
Ulquiorra's eyes widened at feeling a familiar spirit energy. Grimmjow noticed his expression, "What's wrong?"
Ulquiorra looked up at the sky, "Don't you feel that?"
"Feel what?" asked Grimmjow, raising an eyebrow. Ulquiorra glared at the sky, "This reiatsu"
Grimmjow closed his eyes and smirked, "It seems that he didn't listen to us"
Ulquiorra looked back at the woman on her knees looking down at the ground, "we should pay him a visit"
Inuyasha growled under his breath, "What exactly does she want now? Isn't she already going to get the Shikon no Tama?"
Yoruichi smirked, "She is a witch who can grant any wish, but a price must be paid"
"To set the balance" said Hitsugaya. Urahara nodded, "Exactly!"
Sango nodded, "So what is it that she wants?"
Yoruichi and Urahara looked at each other and nodded. Yoruichi spoke, "To work for her"
Ichigo looked around to see that everything was really silent. Suddenly, both him and Sesshomaru raised their sword to block two other swords. Jaken took Rin to safety behind the bushes as they saw the action behind there.
Grimmjow appeared in front of Ichigo, holding his own Zanpaktou and trying to push Ichigo back. Meanwhile, Ulquiorra appeared in front of Sesshomaru holding his own sword with one hand and easily pushing him back.
Sesshomaru growled under his breath and jumped back. He looked at Ulquiorra, 'H-He only uses one hand…?'
Ulquiorra spoke, "Normally I wouldn't use my sword for matters like these but since Ichigo has proven himself once of being worthy of my opponent, I guess I have no choice"
Grimmjow and Ichigo jumped back on their own sides, holding their Zanpaktous towards each other. Ichigo glared at him, "Where's Kagome?"
Grimmjow smirked, "Gone"
Ulquiorra closed his eyes as Grimmjow only chuckled under his breath. Ichigo growled under his breath, the anger of him being sarcastic and wasting his time made him so pissed off, "Grimmjow! I'm not here for games!"
"I'm telling you the truth" said Grimmjow shrugging. Ulquiorra sighed as he opened his eyes, "Kurosaki…what Grimmjow is saying is completely the truth. Kagome you use to know is now gone"
Ichigo shook his head, "Lies! I know she is here! Now show me where she is!"
Sesshomaru looked at Ichigo and then at the two Arrancars in front of him. Just who were they? When Ulquiorra was pushing him back, it was an amazing strength he had never felt when he fought. Not even Inuyasha was that strong or not even his father he thought.
Grimmjow twirled his Zanpaktou in his hand, making Ichigo and Sesshomaru nervous of their next movements. Ichigo never changes stance along with Sesshomaru. Their eyes were on their opponents'. Ichigo tightened his hold on his Zanpaktou, has Sesshomaru held his.
Before any of the four would step forward, two men appeared right in between the two sides. They were smiling at Ichigo and Sesshomaru directly. Sesshomaru glared at the red eyes he saw, "Naraku…"
While Ichigo saw the golden brown eyes starring at him with amusement, "Aizen…"
They both looked at their enemies. Four against two? They didn't care. Sesshomaru didn't know how he got into this mess. He would normally ignore it and walk away, but for some reason after seeing Naraku, he knew the only thing to do was to fight.
Ichigo was about to yell at Aizen, but he stopped him by lifting up his hand, "Please, before you start to speak, I should warn you"
"warn me?" whispered Ichigo. Naraku closed his eyes, "Have you ever thought about someone special to you, fighting on our side?"
Ichigo kept his glare, "What are you two talking about?"
Suddenly, Aizen and Naraku moved to the side, revealing another person behind them. Ichigo's eyes widened along with Sesshomaru's. Even Rin and Jaken were surprised. She was slender woman that had long black hair down to her hip and was straight. She wore black shorts to mid thigh along with a kimono shirt that was long sleeves which was white like her skin. Her boots were white and went up to her thigh almost touching her shorts as well. On her hands she had black gloves that seemed to only stop to her wrist.
Ichigo's body shook has he felt his Zanpaktou slowly slipping from his hands. Her eyes….her eyes…they weren't brown anymore…
"Work for her?" repeated Miroku.
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Rangiku. Ikkaku nodded, "We already work for Soul Society"
"We know" answered Urahara, "What Yoruichi means is that it's more like Ichigo paying for the price"
"I-Ichigo…?" whispered Rukia. Inuyasha's eye brow rose up, "What does he have to do with this? He's already where we want to go"
Yoruichi sighed, "Kagome is in danger"
Everyone waited for Yoruichi to continue, "And to tell you the truth…the only one who can save her is Ichigo"
"W-WHAT?" exclaimed Inuyasha, "That's bull! I can save her too!"
"Yes," said Yoruichi, "But not in the state she is right about now"
"Which is?" asked Rukia. Renji crossed his arms across his chest, "But why are you making us choose for Ichigo's payment? I thought we need to pay the price"
"Yuko know what she is doing" answered Urahara. Hitsugaya sighed, "Then she wants Ichigo to work for her?"
"Not now, just when she needs him to" answered Yoruichi, "And it will be for one day only"
"THIS MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE!" yelled Inuyasha, "Just give me the damn earrings!"
"Hold on," said Urahara, "You must agree that Ichigo must work for her, when she needs him, that day she chooses"
They all looked at each other and nodded. Inuyasha growled under his breath, "We agree"
Yoruichi nodded and gave each an earring. They all put them on their left ear and soon enough they closed their eyes. They all thought and wished and saw Ichigo and Kagome in their minds. Wishing to be where they were at.
Suddenly, the red glow was surrounding each and everyone of them, in just two seconds, they vanished, leaving Yoruichi and Urahara. Yoruichi sighed, "Ichigo will have to face great dangers from here on end"
"And like Yuko said…" said Urahara.
The group landed in front of the well in just a matter of seconds. Inuyasha saw Sesshomaru right in front of him, "S-Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru ignored him and the people behind Inuyasha. He was still starring at what Ichigo never left his eyes. Rukia and everyone turned to face Ichigo, to see him pale and shaking. Rukia ran towards Ichigo, "Ichigo! Are you okay! Ichigo!"
Renji looked towards Ichigo's gaze and soon enough, his eyes widened just like everyone else's. Naraku and Aizen were smirking out of amazement. Their plan had worked perfectly, and all they needed was to finish their lives.
Renji pointed towards the strange woman, "G-Guys…."
Everyone looked at Renji, "Look over there…."
They shifter their vision to the pale woman. Rangiku gasped as Sango did as well. Miroku glared at figure in front, "H-How could this happen….?"
Rukia shook her head slowly and turned to face Ichigo, "Ichigo! Get a hold of yourself!"
Ichigo gulped, "her eyes….her eyes…their not brown anymore…"
Rukia looked back at the woman, "Their red"
Inuyasha took a few steps forward, "K-K-" he was cut off as he saw a white bird that had a small jewel necklace around his neck starting to fly around the woman. She slowly raised her whole arm straight to her side, making the bird land on her wrist. Inuyasha glared at her, "S-Stop this!"
The bird turned into a long white ribbon floating around her arm. She then pointed her hand towards Inuyasha, making the white ribbon extend and smack Inuyasha in the face and wrap itself around his neck.
Naraku smirked, "Oh? Not bad. Who knew she would have these abilities as an Arrancar"
Aizen smiled, "And I'm sure she has more up her sleeve"
Inuyasha tried to get the ribbon off his neck, but the woman only made it tighten as she glared. Ichigo shook his head and tighten his hold on his Zanpaktou, "SNAP OUT OF IT KAGOME!"
Urahara continued, "Like Yuko said…"
Ichigo was about to cut off the ribbon, but Grimmjow appeared in front of him, kicking him in the guts and sending him back. Ichigo landed on one knee and looked up, "Bastards! You'll pay!"
"Ichigo will fight more than just Aizen" said Urahara.
Ichigo stood up and aimed his Getsuga Tensho towards Aizen, but this time Naraku sent his miasma to block it fully along with a barrier surrounding Aizen. Aizen smirked along with Naraku.
"We will also fight Naraku…" added Yoruichi as he look up. Urahara and Yoruichi saw another person appearing, as she came up the stairs. They smiled.
The ribbon let go of Inuyasha's neck as it was now going directly at Ichigo. Ichigo dodged the first slash, but then it came right behind him, not even thinking on how sharp it the ribbon really was as it went through his chest in the middle.
His eyes widened as blood spilled to the ground and air.
Rukia's eyes widened along with Inuyasha's and everyone else's.
It was Yuko who had come up, "And we will have to fight Kagome if he wants to save her"
