Expect the unexpected!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ichigo walks over to the railing and looks over the side of the road. He had hitched a ride to go the top because it was such a distance from Kurakara town. It was a newer spot he had discovered, a little duvet off the road that overlooked a beautiful view but steep and dangerous as well. If anyone were to fall over this thing they will definitely be a goner.
There was a small trail that hikers had worn out over the years and he takes along the path. He steps over the railing and follows close to the edge, trees and rocks becoming obstacles he weaves through. Ichigo stops and looks around, the valley was the largest around he's ever seen in this part of Japan.
He takes a seat on the ground moving aside a stick and taking out a joint. Just another day, but at least he found this spot, it's been getting more difficult to find a hiding place from both his friends and his Shinigami ones as well. All he wanted was to chill out, he's done everything they wanted, what more do they need, a sworn oath to sobriety, coming from the biggest alcoholics he knows.
He remembers Renji on his 'Best' of nights, guys a nut job! Ichigo sighs and tries to unclench his teeth, he's getting nowhere thinking like this.
Pulling a drag he calms down and looks up at the sky. It's such a beautiful day out, perfect temperature and a slight gust of wind from time to time.
Woooshh "Ichigo!" A boom of a voice well known echoes down the mountain.
"Wha!" Ichigo yells startled at the sudden shout. She found him of course. Shit. "Come on Rukia, give me some time would ya!"
"Are you a thug now, Ichigo?" That tone she always uses, ugh!
"Oh, give me a break!"
"No! You made a promise Ichigo that you would give it up, well we've called in reinforcements."
Ichigo turns to her with his joint still in his mouth. "M'Yeah?" He blows smoke.
He turns expecting Urahara or Renji but who is standing there but non-other than Unohana herself. Her spiritual pressure was hidden but now that his eyes are locked on her she lets a little out for him to feel.
"You deceived me, Ichigo. I was disappointed when I found your room empty that night. I also warned you, and now you're going to have to pay the price tenfold you realize." She starts walking towards him.
"Please, I appreciate your concern but-" I'm sorry was on the tip of his tongue except he couldn't say it as the Captains hands are now wrapped around his throat. His joint falls from his lips and he's suddenly whisked away into Soul Society.
Deep in the depth of the Science Department they watch as the orange haired stoner is throttled and brought to his knees then thrown into the Senkaimon.
"You think he's gonna survive this time?" One of the interns asks.
A loud crackling laugh booms the department. "If he's interested in experimenting with drugs I know just the thing!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi walks up to the monitor with a wide smile on his face.
"They've arrived, Captain." Nemu says as the data comes in.
"Perfect. Nemu, get the tranq gun, we have a mission." The Captain quickly departs with Nemu behind him holding a gun as long as her forearm, the dart the size of an arrow.
"Loaded up, Mayuri-san."
