Hello everyone!

Wow so many reviews on the last chapter! Well previews have started to appear on my profile for the next two stories XD AH!

Thanks for all the reviews! I didn't think this story would grab such attention hehe. Remember is almost at its end T.T Since the anime is already at its end for the arc...so will the story plus...it makes me sad that there are rumors going on that BLEACH ANIME will end but the manga will continue...NO!

Just so you know, Remember will have spoliers in the next few chapters so...don't read if you don't want it to be spoiled for you then blame me hehe.

SPEACIAL THANKS TO: (By the way...I want to say first of all thank you to all who have read/alerted/reviewed to me and my stories this far. I really couldn't have gotten my writing better without the advice and support, THANKS!)

omaomae: Yeah (hehe), I thought, I think a conversation between them two would be very interesting. They are both strong mentally and physically. They will have more conversation and (AHEM!) a big surprise between the two! Ichigo is hopeful, I have seen that throughout the manga and anime, that's what makes him. Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the chapter!

AnimeMixDJ: Well, Kagome's mission will have to wait (hehe) I am planning to have more of the romance in soon. Thanks for the review. Enjoy!

krysten: Well I think Kenpachi would be interesting in dealing with an Espada Kagome...don't you think? Hehe, well I do have it plan that there is a happy ending but drama in between and before (MWAHAHA!) Thank you for reviewing and the support.

Sugar0o: More action will be included into the next few chapters and plus...a twist! XD Thanks for the review and advice so far. Hopefully...Kikyo goes bye-bye too hehe.

TriOblivion: I think Halibel and Kagome would make an awesome team together...just think about it! The only woman Espadas so far in Aizen's army oh but one will be coming...another one (wink). Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy this chapter!

Dark Void Princess 21: Yeah! Supporting Ichigo is what he needs (hehe) I wish I could give him a hug :P (Ichigo-fan). Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy this chapter.

Suki Yasutori: YAY! You gave me such an idea. I can't wait to write it! THANK YOU! Yeah, I wasn't even planning on writing in the Band of Seven at first but then I thought "It would make the drama even better...right?". Thank you again! Hope you enjoy!

thrrin-1339: Yeah, (not only Ulquiorra/Grimmjow/Ichigo and Inuyasha) having a crush on Kagome...but also Bankotsu would be interesting. (Hehe) I can even imagine the tension (hehe). Thanks for the review. Hope you enjoy.

IchigoxRukia: Thank you! Thanks for liking the interaction between Rukia and Kikyo (hehe). I need to include that in. Haha Ichigo killing Kikyo...(I can see that happening lol). Yup, I have two options left on what should be Kagome's bankai but before that...SHIKAI! XD. Jakotsu flirting with Ichigo? Now that would be hilarious LMAO! And don't worry...we are still far from the ending (We are barely getting started hehe). Thank you again!

ON WITH CHAPTER 20! (O.o already chapter 20?)

"Are you sure you felt it at this direction," Sango looked behind her shoulder. "Kikyo?"

Early at dawn, Kikyo had awoken from her spot, starring at the northeast direction. Inuyasha had first noticed her unusual behavior asking her what was wrong. At the sound of her voice mouthing 'shards, Ichigo immediately had awoken. Awaking the others, they headed the direction Kikyo had pointed; Miroku leading everyone since he was the one who knew the lands better than anyone (supposedly).

"It's already bright outside!" shouted Renji looking at the preistess. "You said you sensed them at dawn now what the hell! They probably already left long time ago!"

Kikyo smirked, continuing to walk: "I don't say I sensed them right at dawn..."

Ichigo's eyes narrowed down: "You sensed them earlier, didn't you?"

The smirk was given to him, along with the glare she was returning: "No comment."

They all continued to walk. Walking was the only option that Miroku and Hitsugaya had given. "Tell me again why we can't just run there?" asked Rukia irritated with the slow pace. Hitsugaya sighed: "Even if they might of left, we could still run into them and there is no need to hurry. There is still might be evidence to where Kikyo-san felt the shards...or so she speaks."

"NO NEED TO HURRY?" exclaimed Inuyasha. "Kagome is in danger! We need to save her! Who knows what Naraku might be planning to do next with her!"

"Her? In danger?" scoffed Ikkaku as he walked besides the hanyou. "She's capable of taking care of herself just fine...she can probably kick our asses in a blink of an eye." Inuyasha narrowed down his eyes at the bald Shinigami next to him: "Are you saying I am weak?"

Ikkaku returned the gaze: "Did you hear those words coming out my mouth?"

Ichigo stopped in his tracks, his hands forming and shaking fists as his hazel eyes hid behind his bangs. His teeth grinding against each other: "Everyone just shut up!" Kikyo looked behind her shoulder along with everyone else. "Ichigo?" whispered Rukia, concerned.

Ichigo glared at each and everyone in front of him: "Stop arguing and keep moving. We aren't getting anywhere like this! My only priority is to save Kagome and that is that! If you guys keep wasting time...," he started walking forward, passing one person then another. "I will save her myself."

Inuyasha sighed: "That's the least of our problems..."

Ichigo stopped looking behind his shoulder: "Excuse me?"

"Naraku's miasma has disappeared...," whisepred Inuyasha. Everyone's eyes widened. Rangiku looked over at her captain: "Captain!"

"Yeah," he whispered to himself: "Aizen's spiritual energy is also gone"

"He went into hiding?" questioned Sango looking down at the ground. "It sounds like a trap..."

Ikkaku walked forward, cracking his neck: "Well...send in the traps! Time for the action to start!"

Green eyes averted into the distance, looking up at the sky as well. Two white wolves running right beside her as two bare feet jumped over a log. Reddish hair held up in two high ponytails were gently caressed by the wind, flying behind as the pace was increased. The same green emerald eyes looked to the right, seeing two white bird flying gracefully to the same direction. Before long, two people had appeared floating above, looking ahead.

Green eyes expanded at the two beauties that stood in the air like nothing. Black hair danced gracefully with leaves floating away. Blonde hair swayed to the sides, eyes that matched like the wolf demon.

'Are those...demons?' asked the wolf demon herself.

The same two feet continued on their track, jumping down from a hill ignoring the two above. She jumped down to a group of gathered wolves around a more aged looking one. She looked over at the olderst one, same color as her fur on her clothing: "Grandpa! It's coming!"

He looked down, the wolf sighing: "So it has destroyed everything in its way, huh?"

"I think we need to get Koga's help," suggested the female wolf.

Before long, they noticed more demons coming behind them, everyone splitting to their own direction but not before the leader of the wolves looked at his grandchild: "Ayame! Look for help! Hurry!"

Ayame nodded, running to the opposite direction with more demons following behind. 'Why are they destroying everything? This isn't normal...not even for demons!' Ayame's foot soon tripped over a root that had been coming out from the dirt, making her fall, demons roaming around her and on top, ready to feast. Her eyes closed, seeing one getting closer to her face: 'I'm finished!'

She never felt it. Never felt the bite and pain. Opening her eyes she noticed a white ribbon floating, another strangling the demon that was about to attack her. Soon enough, she heard the cries of the demon shrieking in pain. In a blink of an eye, blonde hair was visible in front of Ayame. A sword in hand as a tan colored back faced her. One swing from the sword is what it took to take care of the other demons plus the one that was being strained.

A sigh passed the blond's lips: "Did we really need to kill all these demons off?" Ayame noticed she was looking at the ribbong floating away and into the shadows of the trees and bushes: "Don't you think we have other important matters?"

The same girl with long black hair that had been floating up in the air came out, gracefully. Her brown eyes landed on the wolf girl making the blond turn also: "And who are you? Kagome, it seems like someone from the wolf tribe is here." she asked.

Kagome's eyes narrowed down seeing the girl. Something about her hair was so recognizable. Something that triggered her mind...Kagome's eyes closed. She started feeling the same pain in her head. Images of the wolf she had wounded before appeared...he was...carrying her? On the other side, the red haired wolf girl arguing with him and glaring at her. The flashback seemed like they were bickering of something. Images changed to something entirely different. Orange hair appeared again, a smile across his face. Her eyes narrowed into a glare. A whisper coming out from her lips: "Ichigo..."

Tia's blond eye brow rose up: "Kagome? Are you feeling well?"

Kagome's eyes fully opened: "Yeah. Just fine." Kagome started turning around; walking away.

Tia stopped her with her voice: "What do you want me to do with this girl?"

"Just leave her," replied Kagome as she continued to walk. "She isn't in our way."

Tia followed, ignoring the girl's blinks. Ayame's eyes were full of shock. She couldn't believe it! Why didn't she see it sooner..."Kagome?"

Hands reached down to the water flow. Both palms catching the limit of water and bringing it up into rouch lips as it sucked the liquid dry. He looked behind his shoulder to see two of his partners: "He's gone?"

"The whole area is talking about it," answered one of the wolf partners. He looked to his left. "Right Ginta?"

Ginta nodded: "Yeah. Rumors about Naraku's disapperance but that he left a few armies around here...we have to be careful Koga."

Koga stood up from the stream, sighing: "After watching Kagome act that way I am guessing she is one of the armies." Ginta shrugged as he looked over at Hakkaku: "She really got strong huh?"

Hakkaku nodded: "Yeah but, I don't like this Kagome-neechan..."

"Not only is our goal to defeat and bring Naraku's head," started Koga. "But now we need to get Kagome back...even if it means to sacrifice her. I can't let Naraku have his way with her. I hate just thinking about it as he is using her for his plans!"

Their ears twitched hearing the shrieking pain of a wolf. Koga's eyes narrowed down, looking upstream he smelled the aroma of blood mixed with demons ready for their prey. He jumped up: "Let's go Ginta! Hakkaku!"

Koga ran into bushes until he came into the clearing of a wolf being biten by five demons at the same time. Koga's claws destroyed their flesh, finally letting go of the elder wolf. Koga knelt down, seeing the blood expand into the ground, staning it.

"Elder! What happened?" exclaimed Ginta.

The eldest wolf chuckled: "Ayame and the others ran from our Northern Territories."

"Ran away?" questioned Koga. "Why is that?"

The wolf's eyes closed slowly: "Something rose...from the dead. It isn't human and it isn't a demon. All it did was walk with a grin in it's face. He ate anything in its way...even the demons' prey." His eyes had completely closed. "Please...save..us."

Koga's eyes closed as he stood up: "Let's go."

"Where?" asked Hakkaku. "Aren't we trailing Naraku?"

"Our own was just slaughtered. We can't ignore that fact! Let's go. Make a proper burial for the elder wolf and we will leave!" Koga looked to the side. "Besides...the mutt is coming this way."

"Inuyasha?" whispered Ginta.

"Come on...I don't want him to get all the glory for this," he answered back.

"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?" shouted Ichigo. He noticed the hanyou carrying Kikyo on his back running ahead of everyone. Ichigo tried catching up to him but he tried keeping his pace normal so the others could catch up as well.

Kikyo's eye brow crooked up: "What's the hurry Inuyasha?"

"It stinks of wolves!" he grunted. "Koga must of gone through here."

Ichigo appeared in front as he had taken a flash step: "So why the hurry?" he glared. "Don't you remember our priority is to save Kagome?"

"I haven't forgotten!" shouted Inuyasha. "Get out of my way! Koga went through here! There is a reason!"

"What reason?" questioned Hitsugaya as the rest of the gang had finally caught up. Inuyasha looked behind his shoulder: "Not sure. But he is going northeast just like us!" Miroku sighed as he got off Kirara: "Well he is after Naraku just like us. After seeing Kagome I am sure he is more determined to do so."

"Did you say Koga?" a feminine voice had caught their attention. Ichigo blinked turning his head to look over his shoulder. He noticed a girl with two pig tails and red hair standing with concerned emerald eyes. "Who are you?" questioned Rukia.

"Hey!" shouted Shippo from behind Kirara's head. "That's Ayame! Koga's fiancee!"

"Ayame? What are you doing here?" questioned Sango as she also got off. "I thought you had gone to the Northerneast Mountains?" Ayame nodded: "I did...but then we need to run away."

"Run away?" Inuyasha let Kikyo slide off from his back gently. "Why?"

"From the ogre..." Ayame's green eyes closed, remembering the loss of her tribe members. "He devours demons..."

She sighed as the last of tribe walked behind her: "I must take the rest of the surivors of my tribe to safety," she looked behind her shoulder: "My grandfather is wounded and he needs rest." Ichigo's eyes narrowed down. "An ogre you say?"

Ayame's eyes shifted to see the orange haired man: "Yes..." she looked away. "I just smelled Koga's scent going even deeper into the northeast forest." She looked into Inuyasha's eyes: "I-Inuyasha? What happened to...Kagome? Where is she?"

Inuyasha's eyes widened but relaxed right after: "She's back at her house...resting."

Ayame's eyes turned into a glare: "DON'T LIE! I just saw her!"

Both Ichigo and Inuyasha's eyes widened. Ichigo took a few steps forward: "Where? Where is she?"

Ayame looked at the brown eyed man: "You know her?"

"Where did you see her?" pleaded Ichigo. "Please tell me! She needs to be saved!"

Ayame looked down: "She saved me...from demons devoring me..."

"Saved you?" repeated Ikkaku. "Last time I checked, we were her enemies! What the heck!" Ichigo sighed as he looked away: "Was she with anyone?"

"Yeah," replied Ayame. "A woman with blond hair."

Hitsugaya's eyes widened: "Blond hair?" He looked over at Rangiku who was standing next to him: "It's one of the Espadas!"

Ayame looked at her grandfather once again: "I need to go and find them a safe place. Please, if you see Koga tell him were a fine." Sango nodded: "Will do." They started watching Ayame walk away and stopped but her comrades continued on the path. She looked behind her shoulder: "What's your name? You, the one with orange hair."

"Ichigo," he replied. "Kurosaki Ichigo."

Ayame nodded: "Ichigo?" A smile crept her face. "Kagome might seem like a different person but she still has concience."

"What do you mean?" questioned Inuyasha.

"She whispered his name," she pointed directly at Ichigo. "But with a glare. She was having pain supposedly. By the way, the ogre smells of death..."

"Master Kyokotsu," Kohaku stood on a branch, watching the so called 'ogre' eating his way through the demons he had pilled for his dinner. His size was immense to any human or demon. It didn't make Kohaku or anyone question why they called him ogre. After hearing his named being called, his eyes landed on the kid on the branch. His eyes fully exposed with an expression of kill. "They are coming closer. The ones that are after the shards."

Kyokotsu swallowed the flesh and blood down his throat, laughing out loud right after. "I see. You three made the right choice of letting me come here first before my brothers." His head and eyes shifted to look at the kid. "Kohaku, right? You can go now...is what I would like to say."

As Kohaku turned to the side with his whole body, he noticed Kyokotsu coming towards him: "But I want the shard on your back as well!"

Jumping up, Kohaku noticed white ribbons wrapping themselves up around Kyokotsu's arm. Kyokotsu tried pulling away until he noticed his arm was free, the ribbons gone along with his hand. Blood started to gush out, wondering when he never felt the pierce. He looked to his side seeing two ribbons appear. He was sure, very sure he had seen two blades...white blades. The woman looked behind her shoulder: "I wouldn't try anything funny, Kyokotsu. Your brother gave me permission to straighten you up if I need to..." her eyes were already in a glare...ready to see red. "I could do more than cut your arm."

Tia came from behind: "I think it is time for Kyokotsu to deal with the other, don't you think Kagome?"

Kagome nodded: "Yeah."

"What am I after?" growled Kyokotsu.

Kagome's eyes narrowed down even more: "Anyone in your way is to be destroyed...but leave Ichigo Kurosaki alive."

Tia looked at the petite woman: "Ichigo Kurosaki? I think Aizen-sama wants him dead."

"I don't," she replied. "I got questions of my own..."

Well there's Chapter 20!
