I do NOT own bleach or the character/places/things from it. Only the OC.

Rukia and Renji then ended up telling Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai (the head captain of all squads) about the situation, thus ending up in a meeting with all the captains from the 13 squads.
“This meeting has been called forth from the General himself…” Chojiro Sasakibe then announced on behalf of Shigekuni, for he was his right hand man, also his lieutenant.
“So what's going on?” The captain of the 8th division then questioned. Chojiro glanced back at the General, allowing him to now speak.
“It seems that the human world is endangered,” Shigekuni Yamamoto then replied.
“Is that so?”
He nodded and glanced back at all the captains, “As you all may be aware…we need to come up with a strategy…”
“Tell me…what seems to be the problem exactly?” Kenpachi Zaraki, captain of the 11th division then asked with interest.
Chojiro then stood in front of the general showing he was now going to speak, “It seems that the Seven Holes have been awakened,”
“…” Everyone looked at him. They all knew it meant something big could happen, in other words it was bad.
“It seems that during a Hollow attack, Ichigo Kurosaki opened the portal and was sucked in.” He then continued.
“Sucked in, you say?” Jushiro Ukitake, captain of the 13th division then questioned. Chojiro nodded.
“So what do you suppose we do? Do we even have information on where we can find the Hollows? Or even how to stop them?” Toshiro Hitsugaya, captain of the 10th division then asked.
“Yes…but it's dangerous…” General Yamamoto then replied.
“I find it disappointing you actually think we can't handle little Hollows,” Soifon, captain of the 2nd Division, also commander of the Special Forces then stated.
“Do not worry…I didn't mean you can't handle these Hollows. I only meant to phrase that it'd be dangerous for the humans and their world,” He then replied.
“It's that serious…?” Retsu Unohana then questioned with surprise. But her voice being as soft as it is, it wasn't noticeable.
“Yes…which is why I'm asking you to go to the human world and prevent them from unleashing hell. Kill all the Hollows you happen to come across,”
“Well…I'm guessing this won't take to long…” Shunsui Kyoraku then sated as he prepared to leave.
“Then be off and remember…” All 12 captains then gazed their attention towards their leading captain. “…don't be reckless and show NO mercy to those Hollows,”
With that, the captains left the meeting room, off to do their mission.
“Looks like this is going to be one hell of a ride…” Shunsui then stated towards himself as he walked off.

In the other world, the clouds began to darken. As if a big storm was on its way, one that no one would forget.
Orihime and Chad noticed the sky as they ran towards the city, stopping. “Looks like they've finally decided to all come out at once…” Chad then said.
Orihime looked at the sky worried of what was about to happen, “…”

Uryu and Aneko also gazed towards the sky, waiting for whatever was going to happen to happen.
“What do you think is going to happen?” Aneko then asked. She had a worried tone that was easy to read like a book.
Uryu looked at the sky, readying himself, “I don't know…”
“Ready your weapon…just in case.”
Aneko nodded. She then reached her hand behind herself to grab it but felt nothing, “Huh…?!” She glanced behind herself and noticed there was nothing behind her, “Ah…crap…”
Uryu then glanced at her; by the sound of “crap” he knew she pulled a usual stunt.
“Do I wanna know…?” He then asked. His face already had impatience written all over it.
“Well…no, you don't.”
“Aneko…”
“Why yes Uryu?” She tried to sound calm and happy but sounded more sarcastic. Uryu walked up to her and noticed her weapon was nowhere in site, “Where is it?”
“Where's what?” She then asked. She knew if Uryu found out he'd probably ditch her on the spot.
“Your weapon…”
“Oh! That! Well…heh, funny story actually!” She began to laugh. Uryu arched an eyebrow, “I'm thinking you forgot it…didn't you?”
“S-see…? Isn't that funny?”
Uryu sighed shaking his head disappointedly. Aneko sighed, looking away, “Man…Sorry…once again…I screwed up…”
“Aneko…” He took a deep breath and glanced at her, “Let's just go look for it…” His voice wasn't as positive like usual and didn't sound like it wanted to help.
“You're mad…aren't you?” She then asked, lowering her head. She felt guilty, here she was dragging Uryu places and in return she pisses him off. Either way, it was a no win situation for him. She wondered how it was he managed to stick with her, till now.
“No…I'm not mad…” He then spoke.
Aneko glanced up and looked at him. His eyes looked to the ground with a serious gaze.
“Uryu…”
“In fact…it's not your fault…”
“It's not…?” She then asked. She was shocked to hear those sudden words, 'Did I even hear him right?'
He glanced at her. His face still gave off the same expression, “After all…you can't summon it…”
Aneko tightened her fists. The constant reminder upset her and made her feel more like an outcast then she already was. She felt anger in her, “Why…?! Why is it I'm the only one?! Why can't I be as strong and capable as anyone else?!” She closed her eyes tightly to prevent tears, “With or without freakin' powers, I still can't do anything! Not once, not once have I ever even won any battle!”
Uryu walked up to her, he had enough, “You're pathetic…!”
Aneko gasped and glanced at him. Her eyes widened at his harsh and cold words.
“Do you even hear yourself?! You sound like a stupid little girl! You're just as bad as your brother was!”
She continued to stare at him in shock, her lips constantly shivering.
“Ever since I gotten to know you better all I here is you beating yourself up with words. I've never met anyone so negative, you know that?”
“…”
“I give up…if you think you're so special, that you can learn on your own, then so be it! Trash yourself! See if that'll help!”
She couldn't believe what she was actually hearing. He was being so rude, cold and heartless...it wasn't Uryu-like.
“But…” She tried to speak.
“Aneko…when I met Ichigo…he looked like the kind of guy that only depended on himself when it came to fighting…”
“Heh, I remember when anyone would ask him to let them train him to become stronger…his face always had this look, this stupid look. It was as if he didn't need help. That he was able to manage on his own,”
“Ichigo…?”
Uryu glanced at her and nodded, “He started out just like you…he wasn't able to use his weapon properly…even if it was for good intensions from the heart.”
Aneko glanced down at the ground. She couldn't believe that Ichigo, the one that was so awesome to everyone, the one that she thought was better than her at everything, needed help to get where he was now.
“So…he's not so perfect…”
“No, in fact, no one is. Not even me,”
She looked up at him and felt like this pressure that was on her for awhile was lifted off, even if it was a bit.
“So…will you let us help you…?”
She then gave a nod, smiling at him, “Y-yeah…I will…”
“Good…” He then pulled his hand out towards her, “Let's go look for your weapon,”
She glanced at his hand for a moment and nodded taking it, “Ok” They then ran towards the city, darkness still filling the sky.

Kisuke and Yoruichi also noticed the sky. “Looks like they actually plan on fighting back…” Yoruichi then spoke with amusement in her voice. Kisuke nodded in agreement, “This could get ugly…”
She then got up, “I'm going out to help,”
He nodded, “Yeah…I think I'll keep an eye out over here…if it gets worst I'll join along…”
She gave a quick nod and with quick speed she vanished. Tessai then approached him, “Looks like those kids are in for more than they can handle…”
Kisuke glanced at him, “Well…I wouldn't be to sure about that…” He then replied with sureness in his voice. He got up and walked to his storage room, “Now…there's one more thing we need to handle…”
“And what's that?” Tessa then asked.
Kisuke began to search through boxes, “We need to get lil' O' Ichigo back.”
“And how do we do that?”
Kisuke then pulled out a long item that was wrapped in cloth, “Simple…we get him.”
“You are truly brilliant boss!”
“No need to get all worshipy' on me...but yes…I am,” He then placed the item down gently and knelt next to it. Tessai watched as his boss eyed the item, “Uhh…?”
Suddenly the item began to unwrap itself from the cloth as if it were alive. “Prepare to be amazed, my good buddy!” With those words Kisuke grabbed the item, which revealed itself to be a sword. And with one swing he made a cut in air.
“Amazing…!” Tessai then spoke in awe.
In front of them was now a hole, one like the Seven Holes.
“Yo, Ichigo!” Kisuke approached the entrance of it and began to call out for Ichigo. After a little while of waiting for a reply they heard a faint shout.
“Ichigo, that you?”
“Yeah…!” His voice then became clearer. Kisuke smirked and gave himself a pat on the back look.
“You did it!” Tessa then announced.
“Master Urahara…? That you?!” Ichigo then asked.
“Hey! How's it going?”
“What kind of a question is that?!”
“Heh, good to have you back,” Kisuke was a bit relieved to hear Ichigo again. After all...it was nice to have someone to freak and bug again.
“Yeah…same here. So tell me, how the hell do I get out of here?!”
“Easy. Find the door to which I'm speaking from.”
It went silent for a moment. After that Kisuke noticed a figure appearing form the dark hole, “Humm…?” Suddenly Ichigo jumped out the hole, he planned on getting Kisuke but missed and landed on the ground, face first, “Shit…!”
The hole then closed leaving the sword behind. Kisuke picked it up and glanced down at Ichigo, “Welcome back…”
Ichigo sat up and glared at him in pain, “Damn it…” He rubbed his nose, getting up, “What the hell was that?!”
“Humm…? What was what?”
Before Ichigo could continue to argue he noticed that the outside was a stormy dark, “W-what…the hell?” He approached the outside shocked.
Kisuke walked up to him, also glancing towards the clouds and their deformity. “A lot has happen, while you were gone…that is,”
Ichigo then glanced at him with a serious expression, “What happened?”

“Where did we last go to?” The Quincy then asked.
 
“I dunno…?” Aneko then replied, puzzled.
“…” He felt his left eye twitch, “I see…”
“Oh!” her face then changed form clueless to more lively. Uryu watched her as she lead the way. Almost like a hound dog. The thought made him lightly chuckle to himself.
“Here!” She pointed towards the store they were last at. Uryu nodded and began to walk in. Aneko followed after.
As she walked in, she noticed it was trashed, like a tornado hit, “W-what the hell…?” She then bumped into Uryu, “U-uh…? U-Uryu…?”
“Do you sense it…?” His sudden question made her hear sink. “S-sense it…?” she then repeated, hoping she misheard.
He then nodded, “…A Hollow.”
`Damn it! Why did he have to say that?!' She then looked around cautiously, “N-no…!”
Uryu then began to slowly back away. He pushed Aneko back, “Get out…”
“What…?”
He shifted his eyes to the left, “Nothing…” then to the right, “Still nothing…”
`I sense it…yet I can't see anything!'
They then made it to the entrance, both their backs facing it. “I don't sense anything…” Aneko then spoke. Uryu glanced at her only to see the Hollow sneak right behind her, “W-wha…?!”
“Huh…?” She glanced back, noticing the intense look in Uryu's eyes, noticing it as well. The Hollow then stuck its tongue out; it was long and had a pointy end like a knife. It was obviously planning on stabbing Aneko. Suddenly with quick reflects Uryu pulled his weapon out and shot at its tongue before it could jab itself through her.
“GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” It took steps back as it yelled from excruciating pain. Uryu then grabbed Aneko's hand and ran away pulling her behind him, `Damn it! Why couldn't I see him?!' He then noticed a back door exit and took them there.
“Uryu, what about my weapon?!” Aneko then asked.
He shut the back door and glanced at her, “Right, you go and get it…I'm going to distract him!”
“B-but…!”
The door then slammed open revealing the Hollow. He showed them his long, sharp fangs. Uryu knew this Hollow wasn't playing.
“Now go!” Uryu then shot an arrow at it allowing Aneko to slip behind it and in the store. It noticed and suddenly swung its arm towards her.
“Aneko!”
“Huh…!?” She noticed it, making a big dive just in time, causing it to miss, “Ahhhh!” Pieces of the building fell down on top.
Uryu's eye widened, “Aneko!” Uryu then shot two more arrows at the Hollow.
“GAHHH!”
Just as Uryu was going to run to the pile, he noticed Aneko pushing the bricks off, “D-don't worry…! I'm fine!” She then assured.
He sighed in relief and gave an angry glare at the Hollow, “Damn you!” Suddenly Uryu began to prepare a different shaped arrow. It was more of a diamond, than a typical shaped, arrow.
“U-Uryu?!” Aneko watched as his entire body began to show a dark glow around him.
“I'm gonna' end this right now Hollow!”
The Hollow then gazed its attention at him. It smirked at Uryu thinking it was all some big bluff. Then, like a flash of light, the arrow pierced right through the Hollow. Neither Aneko nor the Hollow noticed it, until it began to bleed.
“GAHHHHHHHH!!!!” It then ran around hysterically, roaring and screaming in pain until, finally it fell on its knees then to the ground dead.
“Whoa…” Aneko got up and walked to Uryu, “That was…incredible…!”
He glanced at her and smiled. “Are you ok?” The dark energy that once surrounded him faded.
Aneko nodded, “Yep! Not a single scratch!” She suddenly flinched and held her elbow, “Ouch…”
He noticed that the cut from her elbow, the one she had gotten last time, got bigger, “Does it hurt?” He then asked worried.
She shook her head and shook the pain off, “No. I'm fine.” He arched an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
“Yes! Don't worry…com'on I have to get my weapon,” She then left him and went to find it.
“If you say so…”

Meanwhile, Ichigo ran through town trying to find everyone, “Damn it! How could this happen while I was gone?!”
“After the portal was opened, hollows that also bared the same curse sensed it and now want to attack.”
“Attack…? But why? Was it some sort of a chain reaction?”
“Yes…you see once one portal is opened that means it's ok to go and reveal the other portals, so the hollows believe. And in doing so they needed a sacrifice…that was you.”
“Great…so what's gonna happen now?”
“Well…hell is said to take over this world…and if that happens then we'll all die.”
“W-what!?”
“But I wouldn't worry…I sent your sister and friends to fight them. If you make it on time you might be able to pitch in.
“What?! You sent Orihime and my sister to fight these so-called super Hollows?!”
“Yeah…? Why shouldn't I?”
“Ugh…damn it!”
“I don't get what you're getting so angry about. You obviously don't trust in your friends abilities…or is this some sexist thing?”
“NO! I just…I don't think putting them up against Hollows that are stronger than usual, is the brightest idea,”
“What do you mean…?”
“I don't have time for this! I have to go and save them!”
“Save them…? How do you know they-”
“-Because! It's Aneko and Orihime!”
“Ok…?”
Ichigo then lost his train of thought when he felt the presence of a Hollow. He stopped running and looked around his surrounding.
“…”
Suddenly the ground from around him began to shake as if an earth quake was occurring. “Damn it! Not this again!”
Without warning a Hollow jumped in front of Ichigo pushing him back with force, “Ugh!”
“HaHaHaHa! Puny, puny human!”
Ichigo managed to sit up but was separated from his Zanpakuto, “D-damn…” He rubbed his head and glared at the Hollow.
“You think you can beat me?!”
“No…” Ichigo then replied calmly as he got up. The Hollow gazed at him surprised by his reply, “Oh…?”
“…I KNOW I'm gonna kick your ASS!” Ichigo then finished as he ran to his weapon. The Hollow-furious with his remark, charged for Ichigo just as he reached his sword.
“Watch who you talkto, puny human!” It leaped towards Ichigo but Ichigo managed to get his Zanpakuto and swung it in time, cutting the Hollow in two.
“You were saying…?” Ichigo then spoke cocky as he watched the Hollow vanish. “Damn…it was just a normal Hollow…” He sighed placing his weapon behind him and proceeded with running, trying to find everyone.

Aneko and Uryu searched the store for her weapon.
“Any luck?” Uryu then asked still searching one half of the changing rooms.
“Nope…” Aneko then replied as she returned from searching on her side, “Maybe I left it in another store…”
Uryu approached her rubbing his neck, “Who knew searching for something could be so stressful…” He then noticed something on the floor, “Humm…?” He picked it up.
“What's wrong?” Aneko then questioned. He got up and showed her a piece of metal. It looked like a piece to something, though they couldn't tell.
“What do you think it is?” She then asked as she observed it as it lay in his palm.
“I dunno…” He then admitted, "Do you think ii belongs to something important...? The design of it...it just looks different…" He then stated.
“It's probably just a piece of the building! Com'on we have to keep searching!” She then replied.
She walked off, continuing to search the store. With one quick sigh he placed the piece of metal back on the floor and followed, “You know…I'm staring to get the feeling all you care about is finding your weapon…”
She then stopped and glanced back at him, “What do you mean?”
“Never mind…”
Aneko glared at him, “No, I wanna know what you meant!” She began losing her temper.
“I just meant all you've been saying towards me is “Let's look for my weapon!””
“How does that even bug you?” She then questioned now with curiosity. Uryu looked away, “Never mind…!”
“Hump, you're weird…”
“Weird…?”
She nodded and continued to search. Uryu glanced at her for a moment, 'What did she mean by “weird”?'
“I found it!” Her announcement then caused Uryu to snap out of his thoughts and pay attention, “Huh?”
“Look!” She pulled it out of a pile of boxes and showed him. Uryu nodded and glanced out the window, “Com'on…we should find Orihime and Chad. It looks like its getting worst outside…”
Aneko nodded and adjusted her weapon, “Kay…”
