The unusual interest (Ana)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo just kept his usual scowl as he heard the arrancar had noticed his high energy ''So...'' he said bluntly ''What do i care about that'' he added but couldnt help but smirk a little at how the arrancar though he had got lucky. ''Sure yeah yeah...im not lucky never have been'' he said and then flash stepped over by Rukia after he had amanged to cut the arrancar again. Ichigo watched her as she had made an ice barrier that had suddenly caught the attention of the arrancar about her zanpakuto spirit. Ichigo frowned more at Rukia's reaction saying they were both probably bored. ''How do you Zangetsu is?'' he said but just felt like being annoying for a moment and disagree with Rukia.

Ichigo had to move out the way fast because of all the falling ice he was surprised to see the arrancar was hit by some and was weighed down. ''You could of killed everyone Rukia!'' he snapped at her but see she had defeated the arrancar. Ichigo made a face at her before stopping when she told him his speed had increased. He kept quiet wantign hear what she wanted to say but it quickly became a lesson. ''Ill do whatever the hell i want'' he said and then see her about to head for Orihime and Ana, and Ichigo would of followed if she didnt scream at him. ''What now!?'' he said impatiently but he looked to Rukia seeing she had even realised or seen she had be attacked. Ichigo was shocked ''Rukia...you'' he began but then see whatever it was hit Rukia was now heading for him.

[Shoshi Ana]

[/b] she yelled taking a few steps forward. Ana didn't know what was going to happen, so long as people were going to be ok and everything was going to be fine. She looked back to Ishida and shrugged her shoulders "No idea... but I don't like it..." she looked back to the fight "I hope they will be ok though" she said.


{Soz for taking so long... my friend had a baby and we had a loss in the family yesterday, but I wont make it to the funeral so sorry if I go quiet for a week.}[/ul]

[ulquiorra]

(So sorry for your loss and dont worry about not replying for a while im sure its fine with everyone)

The figure or whatever it seemed to be had taken out Rukia and then flew at Ichigo a clawed hand reached out at him gripping him by the collar of his robes. With that the figure sent him crashing into an espada palace behind him and then became visable to everyone after having being so quick to make the whole attack he finally slowed down.

There stood a horned figure with bat like wings spread out white skinned apart from his bottom half and his elbows down were black. His hollows holw that was through his chest had grew in side and had a black smudge from it. His feet were clawed also almost like a bat's infact his whole ressurection was centered around bat like features. No mistaking it, this was him, it was the 4th ranked espada, Ulquiorra.

How could he be alive right, of course he was killed a punture wound like he had recieved he could not of escaped it. But Ulquiorra was no ordinary person but unlike most espada who picked to have brute strength as their priority he picked to have regenration at high speeds. Which was why he had the technique he did with his eye he was able to crush it to see the things others couldnt record a battle for Aizen's future referance it was how Aizen knew everything there was to Ichigo and his friends powers. He could easily regenrate his eye over and over.

Ulquiorra stood there his back to Ishida Rukia Ana Orihime and Miko as he watched knowing Ichigo wouldnt be taken down by that. He knew his bankai form meant he could take on huge amounts of damage and be ok with it any other human who got sent through a huge building would die surely.Ulquiorra then looked over his shoulder at those behind him seeing Miko in the care of Ana and Orihime. The wound through his chest was closing up you could see it where his regenration was getting to work.

[Inoue Orihime]

((ooc: What bad news really sorry to hear that Ana *hugs*))

Orihime just beamed in fear of the unknow figure and whatever it was it had severely injured Rukia. ''Kuchiki-San!!'' she yelled out and took some fast steps forwards but she stopped seeing the figure head for Ichigo. ''Run Ichigo!'' she began but she didnt think it was loud or quick enough to help his situation. The next thing he sent into an espada's palace and sure enough ir probably would of killed had he been in his usual human form which was why she didnt panic as much as she would of because she knew the durability and stamina Ichigo had in his bankai. But even shinigami couldn't escape pain or serious injury like humans would they were not immune to that. Orihime just watched ahead just waiting for Ichigo reappear so at least she'd know he was ok, but she could see a dark figure settle in front of where she was looking it was there but she wasnt really registering it in her mind who it was. Then it hit her and her eyes drifted over to him. She couldnt even utter his name becuse of the amazement and shock she was under. Then she see it his regenration, that hidious bat like form was scary and she felt like she wanted to turn away or step back.

Orihime looked to Ana ''Ana-chan?'' she began. '''You know you mentinoed about making up a portal for us all to get back home...well...can we please go...now?'' she whispered.

[kuchiki rukia *]

Rukia didnt know herself what happened there was just a flash of a figure and then she see it go for Ichigo. That was all that did happen right nothing else until she felt something warm in her side she didnt look just put her palm to her side and flinched it hurt why!?
She slowly removed her hand to see blood and lots of it. Rukia flopped to the floor instantly after and curled up shivering practically she didnt know how much time she would have but she tried to cast a kido spell but her pain was just stopping her from doing so.

Rukia looked up slowly seeing a pair of black clawed feet by her and looked up seeing Ulquiorra's resurection form. She knew that Ichigo was in trouble and Ana Orihime and Miko were left out in the open. She scrunched up her face at the thought ''You.....your...your a bastard...your...'' she whispered. ''Let...them go....let them...escape...do you...hear me espada!'' but she coughed before she could finish. She could taste her own blood that wasnt never a good sign she knew that she was very much damaged internally by that one sign. ''Leave Ichigo...leave him alone...i wont let you...'' she whispered again though she sounded out of breath like she;d been running a marathon or something only she was just laying there. She knew the consequences of injuring Ichigo didnt Ulquiorra already know by now what happened if he tried to kill him there was no way his hollow would sit back and take it but by doing so he was condemming them all to their own deaths even Ulquiorra's himself. ''....Stupid Espada...'' she uttered and then forced herself up and she stood in front of Ulquiorra hunched over her bleeding getting worse as she bled on the sand around her. She wouldnt let him passed her even if she was in the state she was in she still had her pride and shinigami's honour if you were a shinigami you fought to the death.

[ishida]

(Sorry to hear that Ana )

Ishida was seeing what he was Ulquiorra! never! how!? when!? he was regenerating himself! and before he knew he stood in his resurection form and what a form it was. He studied his appearance taking it in seeing those clawed hands and feet and the huge hollow hole that all hollow had to resemble their missing soul. ''Shit...were in trouble...an espada is bad enough but one in their ressurection is out of leagues completely...'' she said then looked to Ana as she said whatever it was she didnt like it. ''Same here...'' she mumbled and watched as Ulquiorra's resurection hadnt even got started and yet he had already practically wiped out Rukia and Ichigo in one go.

Ishida glanced to Orihime hearing her ask for Ana to make up a portal for them to all escape. It sounded like a good idea but he looked over to Rukia seeing her stnad up ''Kuchiki!'' she said seeing her looking defeated. ''Dammit...what is she doing...'' he said.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

((Sorry to hear hope your friend is ok too))

Ichigo had heard Rukia and Ana's warning but he still didnt have any time to react when he saw the figure carrying on towards him before he knew it he was sent back into one of the espada palaces. The force was enough to send the building tumbling down and he had to get out and quick. Ichigo hadnt even realised waht happened until he actually looked where he was. ''Damn...what was that thing anyway...'' he said and then stood back up seeing the building wasnt going to hold up for much longer. Ichigo sighed ''Again?'' he thought and then flash stepped himself out of there just in time to escape.

Ichigo appeared back out near the figure not evne looking at it for the moment instead he was looking over to Ana Miko and Orihime checking they were all ok. His eyes then drew to Rukia who stood up in front of what looked like Ulquiorra, only he had a strange form his resurection form. ''You!? how did...'' he began but paused seeing Rukia was bleeding and alot. Ichigo watched her seeing how she was trying to hold Ulquiorra up. ''Tch...'' he grunted almost annoyed that she'd do that. ''Rukia you cant even walk!!'' he snapped at her but he looked off to the side. He wasnt even going to try and fight this form of Ulquiorra's because there was no way he could win without his hollow and he hated that he hated that he needed a hollow to win one of his battles it just made him resent his hollow even more he didnt need him not ever.

Ichigo looked at Ulquiorra almsot glaring at him before he sighed, he walked forwards some more and looked to Rukia. He knew he should get her some place safer than trying to help him stop Ulquiorra. Ichigo picked Rukia up knowing she would never make it if she walked, and went over towards Orihime and the others. He glanced to Ana and placed Rukia on the ground ''Look after Rukia...'' he said and then stood back up glancing over his shoulder to Ulquiorra. Ichigo was thinking hard a thoughful look on his face and then looked back to Orihime hearing her ask Ana to make up a portal for them. ''Inoue's right...'' he said after a short pause.
