It sounded like the trap door was forced open and there were angry voices. Really angry. I shuddered because it sounded like whoever it was wanted to kill somebody. That's just what it sounded like.

Ichigo sighed. "Wait-Kenpachi?" He sounded startled. "Wouldn't they have sent Renji if there was a serious problem?"

"He was busy." A deep voice said that I didn't recognize. "So they sent me instead to see what the frick you guys were doing."

I started to shake even harder. I wasn't sure what kind of trouble we were in but from what it sounded like we were in massive amounts of trouble.

"I can explain—I…" Ichigo started but Urahara cut him off.

"I'm responsible for this."

The other man snorted. "Of course you are. That doesn't surprise me."

"Weren't there others that came with you?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes but I don't think transporting her." He was talking about me and I shuddered. "Will take more than me."

"What are you talking about? She didn't do anything wrong!"

"I still have to take her in."

"She didn't even get her powers illegally. They were her own. They just needed to be manifested."

"Show me your proof."

Ichigo sighed in frustration. "How on earth would I have proof?!"

There wasn't an answer. I heard footsteps and I knew someone had gotten closer to me. I didn't look up to see who it was. If it was that Kenpachi guy-and I was sure it was- I definitely did NOT want to look up. He sounded pretty menacing and I don't know what I'd do if his features matched the voice. So I was totally fine with just leaving my head on my knees and not looking at anybody.

"You don't need to take her in." Urahara sounded calm. I wanted to scream. How was he remaining calm?

"Why don't I?" The unfamiliar voice was closer to me. That made me shake harder.

"She had no knowledge of what was happening. And I don't think she understands what's going on. She's blameless."

The man just grunted. I slowly started to scoot away until a hand dropped on my shoulder which made me jump but I still refused to look up. I didn't want to know what this man looked like if I didn't have to go to Soul Society. But it sounded like our side was losing and I was probably going to have to go. The only reasonable response I had to that thought was letting out a really weird frightened squeaking sound.

The man snorted at my noise but didn't move his hand. "I don't want to take her in—I just have to follow orders."

"They are some seriously stupid orders!" Ichigo snapped.

"Will you calm the heck down? I'm trying not to kill you and you're not helping." The man snapped.

I shuddered at the threat in his voice. This man was just becoming scarier and scarier by the minute. I finally lifted my head a little, but I didn't look up at the man. He was freaking me out pretty bad. So instead I looked at Ichigo.

He looked like he might punch the guy in the face. "Can't you at least give us a few days or take it back to them or something? We were doing it for her safety. Her pressure is so high that she keeps getting attacked by hollows."

The man sighed. "Fine. Whatever. I'll see what I can do but there are no guarantees that I'll be able to fix any of these." I heard him walk off.

I waited until I heard a zap and looked and didn't see anyone there. But I didn't get to my feet-mostly because I was shaking so bad I was pretty sure that I couldn't stand up. So I just sat there and eventually lowered my gaze and stared at my feet. Just because the man was gone now, it didn't mean that he wouldn't come back. I could easily still end up having to go to Soul Society.

"Urahara what do we do now?" Ichigo asked, sounding really frustrated.

"Just start with training. That's all we can do. Either that or sit around and wait." He sighed.

I was still shaking really hard. I was pretty sure that I still couldn't stand up. My arms felt weak, my legs felt weak, I felt like I was going to throw up. It was fear. Pure fear. And that fear just kept me from moving from the spot I was sitting in.

"Uh-can you get up?" Ichigo asked me.

I looked up at him and shook my head. I didn't trust my voice. I didn't want to get up. To be honest, I'd rather just sit here and not do anything. Ichigo sighed and offered his hand to me. I blinked and stared at it, but I didn't move my arms. I was refusing to stand up. He sighed again but I just went back to staring at my feet.

"Maybe this was a mistake." Urahara said.

"I…think it might have been too."

Great. Now they both see how weak I am.
