Ichigo sat there, looking at Rukia. Damn! I should have gotten there as fast as a could. Now Rukia could be-.

"Ichigo." Ichigo looked up and saw Urahara handing him tea.

"Thanks." Ichigo took the cup and put it down next to him.

"You know you seemed pretty worried when you brought her in." Urahara pulled out his fan and sat down next to him.

"And what's that suppose to mean?" Ichigo gave him his evil glared. "Of course I would be worried."

"Rukia well be fine. She will be up in no time. It was just minor injures. You shouldn't have worried."

"Why? Because she's a soul reaper?"

"Yes. As you know they lived most of their lives fighting hollows. But you do have a right to be worried. I was just saying that you don't have to worry too much."

Ichigo picked up his cup and stood up.

"I know." Ichigo walked out. Idiot! He wasn't even worried. Ichigo stormed out the shop. Jinta was teasing Ururu about what they usually talk about.

"Ow Jinta, stop." Ururu complained.

"Quit messing around." Ichigo gave Jinta the cup and kept walking. "Give the girl a break. I'm pretty sure she had enough for the day."

Jinta saw Ichigo walk away and saw Urahara behind him.

"What's with him?" Jinta asked Urahara.

"He's just worried about Miss Kuchiki." Urahara still had the fan covering his face. "And did I hear him say that you're picking on Ururu again?"

"N-no." Jinta walked inside.

I should've just stayed with Rukia until she woke up. Ichigo thought. But stupid Urahara had to keep interrupting my thoughts. You better be alright Rukia. Ichigo jumped on top of a building and started to run towards his house. Crap! I forgot that I promised Yuzu that I'll be home for dinner.

Opening her eyes, Rukia looked around her. Then she sat up but feeling a sharp pain to her side. Rukia slowly got up and realized that she was in Urahara's shop. How did I get hear? Or who brought me here?

"Ah Miss Kuchiki, I see you're awake." Urahara walked in with Ururu.

"What happened? How did I get here?" Rukia asked quickly.

"Please lay down and rest." Ururu said.

"Answer me Urahara!"

"You're not fully healed." Urahara walked towards her. "Please rest a little and I'll tell you."

"I''m fine." Rukia started to walk out but looked back at him. "Thanks for healing me."

"No problem." Urahara pulled out his fan.

Rukia walked out of the shop and started running. Not worrying about her pain. I bet it was Ichigo who brought me here. Rukia started hopping to building to building. Rukia wanted to get the hollow out of her. She didn't want to obey him. She would rather die. Rukia started running towards the edge of town. Then she felt a hollow. Running as fast as she could. Rukia unsheathed her zanpakuto. When she got there she saw the hollow had grabbed a lost soul.

"Somebody help me!" The soul cried out.

"Put her down!" Rukia slashed its arm, chopping the arm off. The hollow cried in pain and disappeared.

"Thank you!" The soul cried out running towards her. But the hollow appeared again grabbing the soul and disappearing again.

"No!." Rukia tried running towards it. Then another hollow appeared behind her. The hollow tried to grab her but Rukia dodge it. Rukia starting running thinking of a plan. Then she heard a roar. Rukia looked behind her and saw the hollow was right behind her. The hollow grabbed Rukia and crashed her with it hands. Rukia screamed in pain. Then it threw her to the ground. Blackness surrounded her vision but Rukia tried to stay conscious. Ichigo...where are...you?

Rukia woke up in her inner world.

'What happened?' Rukia asked herself. 'Did I...'

'No.' Rukia turned around and saw Sode no shirayuki. Rukia quickly got up and ran to her. Sode no shirayuki fell into her arms. Rukia saw that she badly injured.

'What happened to you?' Rukia rested Sode no shirayuki's head on her lap.

'Han.' Sode no shirayuki said.

'Han? That...'

'Yes. He manage to do this to me. But I'm alright for now. My wounds should heal in a few seconds.'

'Where is he?' Rukia started to look around.

'He said that you were in trouble. He said that he was going to help you. Then he left.'

'He left because I blocked out in danger?'

'Yes.'

Rukia looked at her zanpakuto.

'I have an idea.' Rukia looked at Sode no shirayuki with sadness. 'But I know you won't like.'

'What is it?'

'If won't hurt you when I'm trouble then-.'

'No! Please don't-.'

'If it doesn't bring you pain. Don't worry. Just try to fight him back as long as you can.'

'Talking about me behind my back?' Rukia looked up and saw Han, with a grin on his face. 'You know. I hate when people talk about me!'

'This is between you me! Leave her out of it!' Rukia shouted.

'Shouting back are we?' Han walked closer to them. 'You know. She is apart of it. Because she is apart of you. And just because of this. I'll take over your body for the rest of the day. Or you can-.'

'Please!' Rukia stood up. 'Just don't hurt her.'

'Hm? You want me to hurt you instead? Or you want me to hurt others? Which is it Rukia!'

'Me. Please just don't hurt my friends.'

Then Rukia felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. Rukia looked at it and saw his hand covered in her blood.

'As you wish!' Han disappeared.

"Damn it Rukia!" Ichigo shouted. "Why are you the hell way over here for?" Ichigo raced to Rukia help. Please Rukia don't die!
