A big surprise!( Ana and Ichigo)

[Shoshi Ana]

((You’ll have to forgive me, I’m still unsure on what is going on))

Ana hadn’t really been looking up at the time everything had happened. She was looking down at the rather deep cut Ulquiorra had given her, ignoring the one in her shoulder just applying pressure on the one at her side because it kept bleeding but for some reason she looked up and blinked almost shocked. Ulquiorra was on the ground, bleeding. She noticed Ichigo over someone, it was Miko. Ana blinked so confused. Ok so Ichigo must have knocked Ulquiorra down, that was a simple fact but what the heck had happened to Miko.

She narrowed her eyes down and got up. For a moment Ana hovered over Ulquiorra before rushing to Ichigo’s side. “What on earth happened Ichigo?” she asked observing the wound on Miko, blood was everywhere, she was freaking out. The fact that Ichigo was applying pressure didn’t matter, Miko was loosing too much blood. She wondered maybe Miko was connected to Ulquiorra so when he got hurt Miko did but that made no sense because he didn’t have the wounds Ulquiorra had and how would that even work in the first place? She watched Miko’s face and put her, not bloody hand, on his forehead to feel his temperature.

So then that got Ana thinking maybe something else was around, she didn’t sense anything but didn’t mean something wasn’t there right? She took in a deep breath and looked around before frowning “He needs help Ichigo.” Ana said softly, she wasn’t about to raise her voice at him. Her eyes glanced to Ulquiorra and narrowed down, what had she missed.

Ana watched Ichigo’s expression for a moment, Miko could bleed out and internally if they didn’t get help, that was if he wasn’t dead, he didn’t seem dead. Ana looked to Ichigo she couldn’t think of anything to say. She just placed a hand on the bleeding applying her weight onto her hand so there was pressure “Get some more bandages Ichigo.” Ana said frowning a little, what else was she or Ichigo suppose to do, I mean come on, whatever had happened had happened so quickly.

[ulquiorra]

(Lol lol! Ulquiorra ceroed Miko right the way through him)

Miko was limp and lifeless, though he was breathing, very faintly, he could hear Ichigo yelling at him, telling him to stay alive. It worried Miko, because he hadnt seen Ichigo act like that. He wanted to move his body but nothing happened, he felt cold frozen and numb even, he couldnt feel his body. Then he tried to talk, some very quiet words came out but it was hard to understand, Miko looked scared, ''I... dont wanna die'' he whispered before he couldnt feel anything, he didnt feel like he was alive at all, though he could see Ana had just appeared beside Ichigo, he looked to her a frightened look on his face, he moved his eyes down seeing how much blood was pouring out of him, he paniced alot wanting to scream, but he didnt he just laied there, and looked like he was going to slip out of concousness.
Ulquiorra was still also, not moving he had been stabed but nothing compared to Miko's wound. Suddenly a portal opened up and another arrancar appeared from it.
''Ulquiorra-Sama?...'' the arrancar said noticing him lying there, he then looked over by Ichigo and Ana and frowned. ''What have you done to Ulquiorra-Sama!!! ill kill you for this!!'' he yelled before racing towards Ana and Ichigo....

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

(Sorry sorry i just realised it was me next heh)

Ichigo could hear Ana but it wasnt registering what she was saying to him, he just wanted Miko to stay alive, how could he let another one die. He had already lost his mother to hollow and now Miko was going the same way. Ichigo had just realised Miko was still breathing, but faintly. ''Miko?...'' he began, his expression lightening a little, almost relief in his look. ''Hang in there Miko'' he said but stopped once he heard Miko's very quiet and faint sounding words, saying he didnt want to die. Ichigo frowned ''Im not gonna let you die!! not here and especially not by him!'' he yelled. ''Im the one who should die first, you cant die before me idiot'' he said a faint smirk, but Ichigo noticed how Miko was slipping out of consciousness. Ichigo grit his teeth, it wasnt fair why couldnt he protect anyone anymore. Ichigo finally responded to Ana after just hearing her say he needed help, and more bandages. He just looked to Ana and then back down to Miko. ''I know..'' he muttered, but he suddenly looked up after hearing something, and seeing an arrancar. Ichigo glared nastily at the arrancar after hearing him ask what he had done to Ulquiorra. Ichigo stood up quick keeping his eyes fixed on the arrancar. ''I dont care what happened to Ulquiorra!'' he snapped. But he suddenly see the arrancar race towards him ready to attack him. Ichigo was taken by surprise but he quickly frowned again before realising he had nothing to defend himself with hid moved his eyes over to the side seeing his zanpakuto on the ground. He quickly flash stepped grabbing his zanpakuto and just about managing to block the arrancar's attack, he then moved one hand off his zanpakuto and brought it round slamming it into the arrancars arm twisting it out before he cut across him. The least he wanted to do now was to stop them from taking Miko at all, even if he was dead there was no way he'd let another hollow or arrancar touch him again. He went tob attack the arrancar again, ''Ana! use the bandages ive got left!!'' he yelled to her but not taking his eyes off the arrancar.

[ulquiorra]

(Hope you dont mind me, sorry if im messing up the order, ive gotta post something!)

The arrancar's arm clicked, well snapped and loudly he gave an almighty yell out loud and leaned forwards gripping now broekn arm nervously. ''YOU LITTLE BRAT!!'' he wailed at Ichigo but he had no time to react to Ichigo's zanpakuto now flying towards him again, it hit him dead on cutting into him sending blood splurting out and down his arm. ''Damn, this kid...i didnt thimk he'd cause all this trouble...'' he thought as he was shoved forwards by the impact. ''I know Ulquiorra-sam said there'd be an orange haired kid who would try to stop it all...Ulquiorra-sama...i will fight on your behalf...i will kill this kid so he wont interfere with your plans anymore'' he thought. He looked back to Ichigo hearing him tell Ana to aid Miko still. ''Your letting your guard down!!'' he yelled at him as he raised his own zanpakuto block the attack. he then moved his hand forward and put his palm out in front of Ichigo's face. ''You wont cause anymore hassle for Ulquiorra-Sama!'' he said and then fired up a cero in his palm.
But suddenly from nowhere an arm came up behind Ana and pulled her back, well back away from Miko. It was Ulquiorra!

[Shoshi Ana]

((thankyou... I been like *scratchs head and tilts*))

Ana looked to Miko she kept her eyes on him, taking note of his colour, his body temperature, everything and anything. She didn't know how to save someone's life when they were bleeding as badly as Miko was, she wasn't a Saint. She suddenly felt helpless, what could she possibly do apart from talk to Miko and try kep him calm, was the only thing she could do.
She glanced over seeing some guy and narrowed her eyes down on him, she was going to yell something at him but something tugged in the back of her mind and she looked back to Miko and Ichigo.
As Ichigo got up she watched him, he was going to do something stupid wasn't he? The fact that she herself was bleeding and was in pain didn't really bother her, maybe because her focuss was on Miko. She nodded and quickly took in some bandages "So Miko... you still with me... yea... you can still hear me right, blink once for yes and twice for no..." she knew if he couldn't hear her he wouldn't blink anyway. Carefully she moved him rapping th bandages around him over and over, applying alot of pressure, she knew it would have cained, killed with pain but the tighter the better, but it was not too tight, nothing was going purple or blue, least that she could see. She was not paying attention to the guys fighting, she could hear them but just didn't look at them.
Before Ana even had time to do anything, blink even, someone had grabbed her, she felt an arm go around her and suddenly pull her backwards, they were rather strong and scared the crap out of her as she let out a scream of alarm, her head flew backwards in reflex to try hit the guy or gal in the nose, she was unaware it was Ulquiorra, if she could tell it was him she might have done something different, but moving too much hurt her shoulder and side.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo just glared to the arrancar after his yelling ''Shut up!!! i dont care what happens to Ulquiorra or you! because of Ulquiorra Miko is dying!!'' he snapped before seeing he had hit the arrancar in the arm. He was ready to swing his zanpakuto round again to hit the arrancar again, but he stopped his blade halfway seeing the arrancar's palm in front of his face. Ichigo scowled more, wondering what the heck he was doing, he was ready to move his own hand up and forcefully push his hand back but something, a noise told him that a cero was about to hit him and head on. Ichigo was stunned, he had half of seconds to escape it. Ichigo was still in his bankai so that gave him even more speed, but the arrancar was right there in front of him if it was a longer range he definalty could escape it. But he somehow managed to flash step out of the blast, just getting the top of his shoulder clipped by the cero. Ichigo clentched his teeth, cero's were destructive, they could tear down huge buildings and if it had hit him directly he may well not be able to stand. Ichigo dismissed the fact that his shoulder was now almost unusable, his rage and anger still stood strong, he was fighting with his anger not his brain. Ichigo looked to the arrancar ready to run forwards and make another attack on him but he stopped hearing a scream, he quickly looked over his shoulder seeing Ana had been pulled backward. ''ANA!!'' he yelled rushing towards her.

[ulquiorra]

Miko could hear voices, the sounds of every scream, he could sense the scare of the situation, he knew Ichigo and Ana were trying their best. He couldnt move his body though, he tried, but he felt paralyzed his heart thumping hard but slow, like it was begging him to survive. He gasped a bit hearing Ana, he cried silent tears, crocodile tears infact.
''Help...'' he mouthed as no words came from him, his eyes filled with fear seeing Ulquiorra behind Ana and started to cry more tears falling from his eyes, but no noise came from Miko, not a peep.

The arrancar battling Ichigo was shocked! ''How did! thats not possible Shinigami! i had you locked onto my cero, your pretty lucky to escape with only losing the movement in your arm....the next one wont miss!'' he laughed before seeing Ichigo had heard the screams of Ana. ''Ulquiorra-Sama!'' the arrrancar said, his 'master' was alive!
He quickly had to looked to Ichigo seeing he was going after Ana. ''Oh no you dont boy!'' he yelled out before appearing in front of Ichigo. ''Your fight is with me!'' he said.

Ulquiorra tightened his grip round Ana and his head appear just leaning over her shoulder. ''Dont struggle...ive become interested in you humans....do you have a soul just like all humans do?....do you have human emotions? can you cry? can laugh? do you bleed?'' he said in a chilling tone. Ulquiorra quickly looked up seeing Ichigo, he moved Ana back some more ''Stay back! you want me to slice her throat right now?'' he said.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana looked up to Miko, she did not get why he was crying, maybe the pain, it had to be the pain. Yes, he could be in a lot of pain if he was not numb, was odd. She smiled a little to him, he’d be ok, nothing was going to happen to him. Though she understood why one such as Miko could be crying, sudden fear, having been stabbed, bleeding, a lot of action going on around him, the fact he could very well face his death… yea it was scary.

When she’d been pulled back she was afraid. She saw Ichigo running towards her and she widened her eyes, she noticed he was injured, since when? Though he should not be concerned about her, stupid idiot. “No!” she quickly said to him and then noticed the arrancer jumped in front of Ichigo. She narrowed her eyes down, that was bad, this was not good, oh no no no.

Ana cringed, Ulquiorra was holding her rather tight and she didn’t like it. Her teeth almost grinded together but she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath before opening them. Only to hear that evil sly and utter horrible icy cold voice. Her eyes widened a little. Her head jerked away before her eyes looked over to him. Guess he’d never heard of personal space or anything. Don’t Struggle… as if she wasn’t going to struggle, she wasn’t stupid and yet she was. She tried to kick him, send her foot into his.

Her eyes widened a little, did she have a soul… what kind of question was that, did she have a soul like other humans… well it wasn’t like she had an animal soul. She narrowed her eyes down and turned her head to face him, did he once have a soul. She could cry, she could feel pain, she had emotions and a soul and yes she could bleed, could he, did he have any of those. “Can you… can you feel pain, can you scream or cry… I’m very eager to find out ugly.” She said to him angry and tried to elbow him, though he moved her back more and she looked back to Ichigo. Slice her throat… lovely… as if she’d let that happen. “You have one chance to let me go.” She said. She may have seemed calm, but she was far from it, she wanted to scream, she wanted to run and yet she really wanted to kick his butt. She was human, and fear was part of being human, and she was afraid, she just didn’t show it… much.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo suddenly stopped looking in front of him seeing the arrancar there, he quickly scowled after hearing what he said. Ichigo looked passed the arrancar to Ana and Ulquiorra.
Ichigo looked back to the arrancar as he told him his fight was with him. Ichigo glared ''Get outta my way!!'' he snapped before he ran at the arrancar and shoved his other shoulder that wasnt injured into the arrancar slamming into him to try and get him out of the way. He knew Ana had told him not to go after her, but he never listened he ignored that.

Ichigo eventually stopped now hearing Ulquiorra making threats ''Let her go already!!'' he yelled before looking to Ana, this was bad, he had Miko on the edge of dying and now Ana in the clutches of Ulquiorra. Ichigo frowned more ''I thought' i'd gotten rid of you once! i can do it again!'' he snapped.

[ulquiorra]

Ulquiorra smirked seeing his trusty arrancar had got in Ichigo's way, he glanced to Ana again as she directly told him not to. He smirked even more ''Listen to your friend Kurosaki! you'll die if you keep trying to protect everyone!'' he said to him before tightenign his grip on Ana.
He quickly looked down seeing Ana's foot trying to hit his, he frowned ''I said for you not to struggle didnt i?....'' he said bringing his blade close to her neck pressing it in firmly. ''I will kill you woman! Miko is gone...and your heading the same way, then so will Kurosaki..who knows you may all meet up again when we turn you into arrancar!'' he grinned.
Ulquiorra was silenced when she reverted his questions about the human soul back onto him, he looked angered nearly. ''No! i cannot! you should know that a hollow's soul is dead, lifeless we feel nothing! i could kill my own comrades and not feel and inch of...hmm whats the feeling?....guilt is it? i dont know but you humans have become very interesting to me...how you can get your spirits lifted just by mere words...putting your hope into somebody else...foolish but im curious....how you can all form different relationships between different people having friends seems to make a group stronger, but i dont know why...its as if knowing that your comrades will back you gives you a rocketing level of confidence...it baffles me...thats why....thats why youre coming with me...to Hueco Mundo....im entrigued by your human ways....Aizen-Sama gave us orders....the first was to capture Miko and we changed him into one of us...but it failed something went wrong...the Hygokyo is a device that can change any soul into a hollow....maybe we should use that on you? see if your human emotions evaporate or do they still remain...i wonder'' he said but he then looked over to Ichigo seeing he was yelling for the arrancar to get out of his way, ''Youre far too persistant Kurosaki!'' he said to him.
He looked back to Ana and smirked ''Another order by Aizen-Sama was to make sure Miko is killed...ive pretty much taken care of that myself...so he wont be interfering...the other order...'' he said then glanced to Ichigo seeing he had shoved his way passed the arancar and was now in front of him and Ana. ''The other order...is to...'' he began pointing a finger at Ichigo. ''Is to get Kurosaki...to change sides...you will become our comrade soon enough....you will become an arrancar....imagine it Kurosaki...you as an Espada fighting alongside us....maybe this woman could too...'' he said smirking evily at Ana. ''Sorry i cant let her go....shes become far too interesting...'' he sad as he stood dragging Ana up with him still keeping hold of her. ''Im taking her to Hueco Mundo you can try and stop me...but i think you'll die...because how can you protect 2 of them at once...you should choose you know...Miko's only got a few minuites of life left...the second you turn your back to save Miko....i will be off with this girl...'' he said he ignored Ana's words warning him to let her go. ''I have one chance?...do i really?'' he said.
