I do NOT own Bleach or the characters/places/things from it. I only own the OC. Enjoy!

Both Hollows reappeared in the middle of the city. Their blood thirsty eyes scanned the area and searched for victims they could feed on.
One of them was black and had long arms and legs with claws the length of a tree. Its mask was the shape of a spear and its eyes where filled with blood-red lights. The other Hollow-who wasn't as strong-was light brown and also had a long body but no claws; in fact it didn't have anything that it could use to defend itself with. Its mask was the shape of a cube with spikes on all four sides, and its eyes were filled with an empty black.
“MY, MY…WHAT SHALL WE DINNE ON TODAY, DEAR BROTHER OF MINE?” The black one then asked rather devilish.
“LET US FEAST ON WHAT EVER WE PLEASE TO FEAST ON! IT SHALL BE A CELEBRATION!” The other then replied as it made a powerful spiritual ball.
“YES!” The other also prepared for an attack. It revealed its long sharp claws and gave a grin, an evil heartless one, one which would stop a beating heart from just glancing at it.

Ichigo and Uryu found the Hollows and were now hiding behind a building. They would have attacked by now but sadly Uryu and Ichigo could not battle.
“What do you mean you forgot your glasses?!” Ichigo then argued. Uryu felt a bit ashamed and humiliated but knew Ichigo was no better.
“Well at least I have my abilities! How could you have come all the way here too fight Hollows and not even be able to change into a Shinigami?!”
Ichigo glared at him, “Oh shut up!” Suddenly a gust of wind began to swarm the skies, flashing Uryu and Ichigo's attention.
“Now what?!” Ichigo complained.
Uryu noticed the Hollows were ready for an attack. “Ichigo they're going to attack the city!”
“What?!” He stood up and ran out side.
“Ichigo! You dumb ass!!” Uryu ran after him.
“HEY!” Ichigo then called out to the hollows hoping they'd stop and gaze their attention to Ichigo, and they did. Their evil eyes pierced down towards Ichigo and Uryu.
“What the hell are you doing?!” Uryu then yelled grabbing Ichigo by the collar of his shirt.
“Distracting them, moron,”
Uryu glanced at the Hollows that began to come towards them with grins. “WELL, WELL! LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BRATS HERE!” The black one then announced happy for the gift they were given. “INDEED, WE DO,”
Ichigo and Uryu backed away, “Now what?!” Uryu asked. Ichigo tightened his fists, “We fight back…!”
Uryu looked at him shocked, “WHAT?! You can't be serious!”
“Oh, but I am!” Ichigo smirked, glancing towards the hollows, “Well then…aren't you gonna attack us?”
“What the hell are you doing?! Don't encourage them, idiot!” At this point Uryu didn't know who he felt like killing the most, Ichigo or the Hollows.
“MY…YOU'RE EAGER TO DIE, AREN'T YOU?” The brown one then asked amused.
“Oh shut up!” Ichigo stood in a fighting stance. He had no sword. No armor and to Uryu no brain.
“Ichigo! You're a freakin' swordsman! Not a boxer!”
“I know that!”
Suddenly the rain began to fly all over the place. “What the…?!” Ichigo and Uryu looked around their surroundings cautiously.
“IMPRESSIVE, EH?” The Hollow then asked as he showed his long claws to Ichigo.
“I've seen better,”
The Hollow began to chuckle, “YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP AGIANST!” The other Hollow then spoke as he joined his partner and prepared a spiritual ball like the one before. Uryu prepared his arrow and readied it, “Actually we do know!” He then joined.
Ichigo glanced back at Uryu, “What the hell are you doing?! You need glasses!”
“Shut up. I know that,”
“WELL THEN…I'LL KILL THE COCKY ONE…YOU GET THE ARCHER,” The brown Hollow then commanded with excitement in his eyes. The black one nodded and with that they attacked.
Ichigo noticed his Hollow charging towards him with the ball full of deadly energy in his grasp. It then shot it, Ichigo jumped out of the way in time, “Man…! He's quick!” he got up and noticed the hollow charging another one. “Damn it! Not again!” He ran towards it and kicked the hollow across the arm causing his energy ball to fade.
“YOU LITTE BASTARD!” It ran towards Ichigo and hit him with his hand causing Ichigo to slide across the wet floor.
“Ichigo!” Uryu tried running to him, but was stopped by claws that almost cut him, “FORGET HIM! YOUR BATTLE IS WITH ME ARCHER!”Uryu shot his arrow but the hollow jumped out of the way.
“TOO SLOW! MY TURN,” It then appeared behind Uryu quicker than a blink and scratched his back.
“Gwaa!” He fell on his stomach in pain. His blood began to pour and run with the rain and into its puddles.
“URYU!” Ichigo got up, his eyes carried anger, “Damn you two! You're starting to piss me off!” Ichigo charged towards the Hollow he was fighting and punched him across the face, it wasn't hard but hard enough to send him flying back. Ichigo then ran up to Uryu but was stopped by the other hollow.
“YOU'RE PRASISTENT! BUT NOW YOU DIE!” He swung his claws at Ichigo. Ichigo managed to jump out of the way and kick the Hollows knee also causing him to fall back.
“Uryu!” He helped him sit up.
“I'm fine…” He then assured.
They both glanced back at the two Hollows that were now extremely pissed, mostly towards Ichigo.
“THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! YOU BOTH WILL NOW DIE!” The Hollow charged his energy ball, this time it carried much more power and increased in size.
“Now what…?!” Ichigo and Uryu couldn't move or do anything. Sweat and rain ran down their faces.
“ICHIGO!” A familiar voice then called out his name, “URYU!” along with another familiar voice.
Suddenly the Hollows got smacked with a powerful punch causing them both to crash into an abandon building. Uryu and Ichigo both gazed their attention towards the voices and the direction from which the attack came from and noticed Orihime, Aneko and Chad running towards them.
“O-Orihime…?? Chad…?! Aneko?!” Ichigo was shocked to see them but a bit relieved at the same time.
“Ichigo! Uryu! Are you ok?!” Aneko ran up to them as well as Orihime.
“Yes…we're fine,” Uryu then replied to make sure that the girls didn't worry. Ichigo glared at Aneko, “Didn't I tell you to stay home?!” Aneko nodded, “Yes, But Uryu forgot his glasses so I brought them!” She pulled them out and handed them to Uryu.
“Y-you brought them…?”
She smiled as he grabbed them and placed them on, “I knew that it couldn't be ignored…”
He smiled at her gratefully, “Thank you,”
Ichigo then got up. “Ichigo are you…ok?” Orihime then asked worried.
“Yeah…I'll be fine,”
Chad walked towards Ichigo, his armored arm showing, “They're coming back.”
“Huh…?!” Ichigo noticed and readied himself for action.
“MORE OF YOU, EH?” The Hollows were becoming angrier and angrier by the second, “I'M GOING TO CUT THEM ALL TO SHREEDS!” The black one then charged towards them all. With quick thinking, Orihime stood in front and a barrier appeared blocking its attack. “GAHH!” The second one then charged a ball and shot it at her causing her barrier to brake.
“No!” She, along with everyone else was pushed back by the blow.
“HAHAHA! AS IF YOU THOUGHT MY ATTACKS WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO STAND UP AGIANST A LITTLE BARRIER LIKE THAT! DID YOU?”
Orihime sat up and sighed, “It didn't work…?”
“Orihime, don't try and attack it…it won't do any good,” Ichigo then yelled as he stood up.
“Ichigo…?”
He then smiled at her, “You did well the first time.”
Uryu, Aneko and Chad then sat up. “Are you ok…?” Aneko then asked Uryu as she helped him up. “Yeah…I'll live,” He then noticed his glasses broken on the floor, “Ugh…wish I could say the same for my glasses…”
Aneko glanced at them and sighed, “Ah Crap…”
Chad stood in front of them, causing them both to glance up at him. “You two can't fight…stay back and I'll protect you, ok?”
“YOU HEAR THAT BROTHER?” The Hollow then asked as he licked his claws. “YES…YES I DID…” They both then began to laugh.
No one knew what they were so happy about making everyone nervous. “What's so funny?!” Ichigo then demanded. They both stopped and glared towards him, “LOOKS LIKE WE GOT HARMLESS ONES!” The brown one then announced glaring at Orihime, Aneko and Uryu. Ichigo then realized what he meant by “Harmless ones”
“Damn you!” He stood in front of them with Chad. Aneko stood up and walked up to Chad and Ichigo, “I can fight to!”
Ichigo glanced at her shocked, “What are you doing?!”
“What do you mean?! I'm going to fight to!” She then argued.
He pushed her behind him, “No you're not!”
“W-what…?! Yes I am!” She moved forwards.
“Aneko stop acting so stupid! You don't even have your weapon!”
“Neither do you!”
He then paused and looked at himself remembering he wasn't in Shinigami from. “…”
“I can handle myself!” She then assured him. He shook his head in disagreement, “No you can't. Not with these Hollows,”
The rain then began to fall harder and thunder was heard as lightning flash in the night sky.
“Ichigo!”
“No!”
“ENOUGH! IF YOU WON'T ATTACK I WILL!” The black hollow then charged for Ichigo and Aneko with his claws in front of himself.
“Look out!” Orihime voice cried out loud.
They both noticed it coming towards them but didn't have enough time to block it and were slashed with sharp claws. They both cried as they were launched far, hitting the ground.
“Ichigo! Aneko!” Orihime, Uryu and Chad ran towards them both. Orihime helped Ichigo up. He had a cut across his chest. “Ichigo are you ok?!” He sat up and noticed the blood all over his body.
“Y-yeah…” He then remembered Aneko, “Aneko!” He glanced back and noticed Uryu was at her side. Luckily for her she only got cut on the arm and nowhere to fatal.
“HAHAHAHA! HOW AMUSING!” The Hollow then announced as he licked the blood off his claws.
“You bastard…!” Ichigo managed to stand up, “Y-you'll pay for that…!”
“OH REALLY…?? AND HOW?” It then asked countered.
Aneko slowly opened her eyes as rain fell in into them making her site blurry. All she could feel was intense pain on her right shoulder, and her back cold and wet. “Ugh…!” She sat up and held her injured arm.
“Aneko! Are you ok?” She rubbed her eyes and noticed Uryu sitting next to her, “U-Uryu…? What happened?” Blood ran down her arm to her finger tips, “Wait…now I remember…”
He looked at her relieved that she was ok. Ichigo glanced back and got the same feeling. Chad then stood next to Ichigo, “Now what do we do?”
Ichigo froze from the question. He wasn't even sure what to do anymore. They were strong against them and had an advantage because he didn't have his power activated.
“I'M GONNA SHOOT MY SPIRATUAL BALL AT YOU AND THIS TIME I WON'T HAVE ANY INTERUPTIONS!” He charged his attack, it was big and powerful.
“We can't dodge this one!!” Uryu then yelled.
“Damn it!” Ichigo didn't know what to do. He felt like he was letting everyone down. All of a sudden the hollow shot the ball towards them. “DIE!!” Everyone braced themselves for the attack.
The ball then hit something, causing an explosion.
“THAT SHOULD HAVE DONE IT! STUPID BRATS THOUGHT THEY COULD DEFEAT US?! HA, IDIOTS,”
They then noticed the smoke from the explosion clear up. They approached closer with glory and pride in their thoughts when they noticed two new strangers standing there and the others still alive.
“W-WHAT?! HOW CAN THEY BE ALIVE?! AND WHERE DID YOU TWO COME FROM?!” The Hollow that shot the ball then questioned, confused and irritated.
Ichigo was the first to get a clear view on who their saviors where. Standing in between them and the Hollows were Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki.
“R-Rukia…?! Renji?!”
They both glanced back at Ichigo, “Gezz, you always have to be such a pain in the ass, don't you?” Renji then asked giving Ichigo an annoyed expression.
“Shut up! Don't you dare think I even asked for your help!”
“Either way…you needed it,” Rukia then spoke joining in. Ichigo looked away.
“Rukia…?” Orihime and the others then noticed as well.
“Alright Ichigo, you ready?” She then asked pulling out a pill. Ichigo got up and nodded, “Yeah” He took the pill and with one swallow a gust of wind immerged around him showing all his spiritual power come in place.
“W-WHAT'S GOING ON?!” Both Hollows asked backing away cautiously, as they felt an incredible amount of spiritual power come at once.
“I'm gonna cut both of you apart in one slice!” Suddenly Ichigo was in his Shinigami outfit and had his Zanpakuto over his shoulder, “This is where it ends!” He then charged for the Hollows not giving them a chance to reply. He cut through the brown one's mask.
“GAHH! NOO! NOT LIKE THIS!” It then evaporated into the sky. The other Hollow took a step back shocked. His entire body shivered with fear.
“Now then…” Ichigo gazed his attention towards the last one, “It's your turn…”
“Incredible! I didn't think Ichigo would be able to take one of them out and in just a swing!” Aneko then announced, amazed.
“Yeah…well it would seem like he'd gotten stronger but the truth is the Hollows had advantages,” Uryu then replied.
She looked at him confused, “Advantages…?”
Uryu nodded, “Yeah…you know considering I lost my glasses and you're injured, Orihime can only heal and shield, and Chad is to slow for them…it would be an advantage for the Hollows.”
“Oh…right. Ichigo didn't have his sword with him before. I guess Ichigo was already stronger than them, just didn't have his powers activated, uh, right?”
“Right,”
“Well then…I feel bad I didn't let your partner say goodbye and all…would you like to say any last words before I cut your ass in half?” Ichigo then asked readying his sword. The hollow backed away still frightened.
“Good,” He then charged towards the Hollow. The Hollows frightened expression then quickly shifted into a smirk.
Rukia noticed, “W-what?! Ichigo wait!”
Rukia warned him to late and Ichigo sliced the Hollows mask, only then did he see the smirk. “W-what?!” Suddenly a black hole appeared from inside the hollows mask causing everything to be sucked in.
“ICHIGO!” Rukia called his name worried he'd be sucked in.
“W-what the hell?!” Ichigo stuck his blade into the ground and held onto it so he wouldn't be sucked in.
“We're gonna be sucked in!” Orihime then shouted. Chad grabbed onto her and smashed his arm into the ground using the same idea as Ichigo. Renji and Rukia pulled their Zanpakuto's out and also shoved them in the ground. Uryu and Aneko had no weapons to use but grabbed onto a fence that was behind. “Hold on tight!” Uryu then yelled towards Aneko. “R-right!”
Ichigo saw items being sucked into the hole. Street signs, garbage, the rain, leaves, sticks and other objects you'd find outside.
“Damn it! That bastard!” Ichigo felt his hands slipping from his Zanpakuto, “Stupid rain!” He placed his other hand on it and pulled his body closer to the sword. “I don't know how much longer I can keep this up…!” Ichigo glanced back at the rest of the group. They too were getting tired of holding on and their hands were slipping because of the rain.
“Damn it!”
Rukia looked at Renji, “Now what do we do?!”
“I don't know! It must have planned this the whole time!” He then yelled back.
“W-what is this?!” Uryu then asked hoping someone would answer.
“It's a black hole! It's probably going lead us to the Hollow's world. If were lucky it won't!” Rukia then replied.
“W-what happens…if- if we do end up there?!” Aneko then asked feeling her arm wound open more from forcing on it to much.
“We'll be eaten by all the Hollows in hell!”
Aneko gasped at the words, “W-what?! We're gonna die?!”
Ichigo felt his teeth clench in anger, “Damn it! Damn it!” His sword then began to pulse, like it had a heart of its own.
“H-huh…?” With one glance he noticed the spirit of Zangetsu floating over him, “I-it's you…!”
“Ichigo…do you wish to stop the hole and save your friends?” Ichigo looked at him shocked, “W-what are you getting at?”
“Ican stop this hole…we both can,”
Ichigo looked at him, not thinking twice about it and nodded, “Ok. Then tell me what to do,” He shook his head at Ichigo.
“W-what?! B-but you just-?!”
“I need to ask you first…Do you trust me?”
“W-what…?!”
“In order to stop this hole…you need to sacrifice…” Ichigo's eyes widened, “S-sacrifice…?!”
He nodded and glanced at the hole, “As you should know…this is the hole of hell…it only opens when it is expecting a soul to enter it…” He then looked back at Ichigo, “Meaning…it wants somebody to enter it.” Ichigo looked at him shocked and in disbelief, “But…! W-who?!”
“Ichigo…if you sacrifice yourself you have a chance to get out,” He continued to look at him confused, “M-me…?!”
“B-but…!”
“You can survive this! No one else can! Do you prefer to kill a friend perhaps?”
“No! Of course not!” He then yelled.
“Good. I promise you…we'll get out of there once we reach hell. Butfor now follow my instructions,” Ichigo nodded, “If it will save everyone…then I'll do it,”
“Good. Now release me from the ground and get sucked in.” Ichigo gulped and took a moment to think. He didn't know what was going to exactly happen to him but to put all his faith in Zangetsu. He glanced back at everyone and in one breath, he pulled his Zanpakuto out.

No! NotIchi!
