A big surprise!( Ana and Ichigo)

[Shoshi Ana]

As Ulquiorra held onto Ana tighter she cringed, she would have spoken but she was too afraid too, he was simply toying with her life, like she was a rag doll to be tossed around. The blade pressing on her throat digging in hurt, she could feel the edge of it, that sharp metal, she could feel it pressing on her air ways, not stopping her from breathing, only making it a little harder for her to breath. She didn’t move her head or the blade could cut her.

The thought, the idea, of been turned into an arrancar made Ana feel sick, it petrified her, scared the life out of her, she wanted to desperately run away, she felt so stupid, she felt horrible and hated herself for thinking so but if she could have she would have hidden behind Ichigo, as childish as it was, she knew that was what she would have done. She could not imagine herself being an arrancar, what would she be like, if she could hold onto some shred of her human self, her soul could she ever become normal again or would it be up to Ichigo to kill her… maybe she’d kill him… no. And the word whispered from her mouth.

Her eyes were fixed on him, Ulquiorra, but she was cowering away, hiding in her own shell. Ana really didn’t want to be like him. “When and if I ever become like you I’ll kill you myself… and I promise you… it will be slow… you will bleed slowly, I will make you scream and as you take in your last breath I’ll be smiling because I’ll be all too glad to finish you off.” She said promising his death by her hand if she ever became like him.

She did not struggle as Ulquiorra dragged Ana back, she moved with him making sure nothing went wrong, she liked her head where it was. Her eyes glanced to Miko, Ichigo should save him… she was not badly wounded, she was still holding onto life with no struggle… Miko… well he was having less luck. “Do it Ichigo…” she said looking to him “I can get out…” and her eyes widened a little “Remember… I can get out…” she was hoping he understood what she was talking about, after all when they had gone to get Miko back not that long ago it was Ana who had gotten them to Hueco Mundo, it had drained her but it had also worked.

When she heard Ulquiorra repeat what she had said she smirked a little “Yea… are you going to take it or do you want to suffer?” she said softly. She could already feel the energy inside her, if he didn’t let her go soon she’d have no choice, she’d form a shield between her back and Ulquiorra’s front, she’d expand it and make it explode so it would send them both flying in different directions, that was only if he didn’t take the offer to put her down.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo just looked to Ulquiorra in shock, what he was saying got to him quicker than normal. He knew Ulquiorra was facinated by a human for some reason he messed about with emotions just to see if they were true. Ichigo scowled at Ulquiorra as soon as he mentioned turning him or Ana into arrancar. ''You really think that me or Ana would join you? the reason Aizen has that Hygokyu thing is so he can force someone to become a hollow....no one would just take up your offer ever!'' he snapped. He knew that if Ulquiorra managed to carry it out and turn them into arrancar that they probably wouldnt remember much, and that they'd become something nasty.

Ichigo smirked a little hearing what Ana had said to Ulquiorra, he thought that would of shut Ulquiorra up but he still gave out fear and still made threats. Ichigo took on a more defensive stance after seeing Ulquiorra had stood up still keeping his grip on Ana. Ichigo couldnt belive what he was hearing, Ulquiorra planned on taking Ana back to Hueco Mundo.
Ichigo shot a glare at him ''Why?'' he quickly said. ''Why Ana?.....what's wrong with just killing one of us? you cant get away with both of this....i wont let you'' he said still scowling. But he heard Ana tell him to help Miko rather than her, Ichigo looked surprised ''What?...'' he began, he was about to disagree but he knew Miko was in the worse trouble, he could die. ''I cant leave you!....if you get hurt Ana...im not gonna be easy on myself...'' he said. He looked to Ulquiorra ''You friggin bastard! msking me choose who i should save!!'' he yelled, maybe he was trying Ichigo's patience. Even though Ichigo knew that his mouth could get him in deeper in trouble, he was back chatting as usual but only because he couldnt let Ana go, he couldnt let Ulquiorra take her back to that horrible place, it got Ichigo thinking, if Ulquiorra was interested in Ana's human soul then who knows what he do just for the sake of him discovering more about humans. Ichigo made the decision to see to Miko, but he looked back to Ulquiorra ''If you hurt her.....then im not gonna let you live, got it!!'' he snapped at him before looking to Ana, he looked down a bit and then back to her. ''Im sorry....if i let you down Ana....ill make it up to you...somehow'' he said to her. At least she had been the more desivive one, he couldnt make his mind up like that he felt like if he saved Miko, then he'd be sending Ana to her death and that he was abandoning her and the same way around from Miko's point. He wanted to save everyone like how a warrior would try to save all their comrades even if they were half dead you'd never leave them behind.

Ichigo quickly turned before looking to Miko laying there, he rushed off towards him. Ichigo hadnt realised it until now, that Ana could make a portal herself. He quickly looked over by Ana and Ulquiorra.

[ulquiorra]

Ulquiorra grinned ''Its an experiance that you two need....becoming arrancar...you wouldnt worry about your emotions thats for sure....you'd even turn agasint your friends! now that sound like fun to me...'' he said. But he quickly looked to Ichigo, what he said made sense ''Youre right Kurosaki, and if you become an arrancar perhaps it will give you some manners so you will give your uppers respect....'' he said but he stopped frowning, wondering ''But...i dont think the Hygokyu has much of a job with you...your already hollow....but you...'' he said looking to Ana ''Will go through the whole tranformation....'' he smirked.
He frowned when Ana had retorted back, true Ana was fiesty and didnt take nothing from no one, but that was why he was interested in Ana and her human ways. ''I do not react to threats woman....for i do not feel threatened by you...'' he said curving the edges of his mouth up into a smirk. So Ana had agreed to let Ichigo help Miko, exsactly what he expected her to do, if he could, he'd drive a wedge between Ana and Ichigo, forcing them apart so that they couldnt fight together against him, it seemed like they made a good team, which Ulquiorra despised, ''Foolish humans, you let your feelings rule your head....Kurosaki why dont you just try to kill me....instead of worrying about two lives at stake...your using pathetic human emotion again....for instance....'' he said and dug in his blade into Ana's neck cutting into her. ''If i make her scream or cry out then you'd come running....'' he said and suddenly tossed Ana forwards and face down on the floor and leaned his foot on her back keeping her pinned there. ''Your full of things that are precious to you....i know that if you fail to protect someone then you go into a state of depression....you maybe human but ive never seen a human with so much lack of emotion you are something rare...and that is why Aizen-Sama wants you on his side....and this girl...has all the characteritics that interest me....how a human can be so strong willed i do not know'' he said.
But what Ichigo said next made Ulquiorra frown a little, ''Hurt her? no no none of that....unless the Hygokyu rejects her and she dies a terrible death....'' he said to Ichigo, it was rubbing salt on an open wound with him, if he knew it got to Ichigo then he'd do it. He wanted to see Ichigo's forced to show his emotions, he knew very well that someone with a personality like Ichigo's kept all what they felt locked away deep inside them, but if he pressed the right buttons it would corner Ichigo, and he would lose his brave front that he put on. Ulquiorra glanced to Ana ''How about you then?....are you the same as Kurosaki? do you not want others to see how you feel, tell me im entriged by this...'' he said.
Miko could hear everything still, his breathing slowed alot, but the sight of a black shinigami robe caught his eye. Miko smiled, for he knew it was Ichigo. Miko looked at him happy at first but he quickly let his expression fade.
Ulquiorra looked to his side and opened up a garganta, a huge black rip appearing in the air beside him creating a portal to Hueco Mundo. ''We will be going woman...but not before your last hope of escaping Hueco Mundo is killed off'' he said. Ulquiorra looked to the arrancar still standing by ''Kill them...both!'' he ordered the arrancar. The arrancar gave a nod and a wide grin ''Of course Ulquiorra-Sama...'' he said as he walked over to Ichigo and Miko.
Ulquiorra leaned down a but and grabbed Ana by her collar pulling her up to him and then pointing over to Ichigo and Miko and the Arrancar. ''You see your friends....'' he began ''They will want to try and save you...try to infiltrate Hueco Mundo....but how can they if there's nothing left of them....how can they if their dead?'' he said with an evil smirk. Ulquiorra was a wicked, wicked specimen. ''I know all of your shiled tricks woman....'' he said to Ana ''Ive watched you, how you fight....i battled with you dont forget, i keep a memory of your actions...it makes me almost unbeatable'' he said to Ana.
''When youre finsiehd with them!'' he called out to the arrancar ''Make sure you bring them to me after back in Hueco Mundo so they can go through the same hollofication procces as this woman!'' he called and then tightened his grip on Ana and walking through the portal the last noise Ulquiorra could hear was the sound of the arrancar's blade being unsheathed making it sound unbelivable sharp edged.
Ulquiorra grinned before closing up the portal and escorting Ana to Hueco Mundo.
(Ana after your post ill make up a thread back in HM for you and me, and Ichigo did you get the pm i sent you?)

[Shoshi Ana]

((I know I have said this before… but Ulquiorra you are so mean))

''I do not react to threats woman…” One thing Ana hated being called was Woman, it reminded her of her fathers father, a horrible Shinigami who hated Ana a lot, and woman was his way of getting to her, making her cower away and yet enrage her more. She would have snapped at Ulquiorra but instead she just huffed.

Ana did not blame Ichigo for his choice, in fact if he had chosen not to save Miko she would have slapped him, maybe, though she wouldn’t know who to choose if she was in his shoes. She just smiled a little to Ichigo, he only ever disappointed her when he didn’t use his thick head. Though she felt Ulquiorra’s blade dig into her throat cutting her, she cringed and gasped for breath, even a tiny little cry of pain would send Ichigo all ‘grr’ and ‘I hate myself’. Her hands formed fists yes she was definitely going to teach Ulquiorra a lesson, hopefully. Though she was being tossed around again, forced to the ground and was stuck there, she could tell not only because of Ulquiorra’s stupid foot keeping her down but her head sang from hitting the ground. She closed her eyes and then opened them blinking, headache coming on.

Hopefully what’s his face would reject Ana and she’d manage to get out somehow, it might be too risky to form a portal inside the kingdom thing, she might have to go out into Hollow land, which was even more dangerous in another way, she really hadn’t thought this over but she’d figure something out. Then she was dragged up to her feet again and any energy she had formed had gone hiding back inside herself again as she’d lost focus. Ahh that was so frustrating.

When Ulquiorra told Ana he was going to take her hope away from her, or something like that she didn’t really understand him until she heard his orders, to kill both Miko and Ichigo. Her eyes widened and she yelled “NO!” before she tried to punch Ulquiorra and kick him “I’m going to rip your voice box from your throat you Bastard!” Ana spat at Ulquiorra. When she got out she’d kill any arrancar who got in her way, go after the guy who was taking Ulquiorra’s orders and then she’d go and rip Ulquiorra apart. She had such horrible thoughts sometimes, it was very frightening, she’d probably be a mindless killing machine if she ever became an arrancar or turned evil. Her eyes widened as Ulquiorra dragged her off… all she heard was a sword and that was it. The fear that had been inside her, boiled, spilling over, she was suddenly overwhelmed with fear.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

(Ulquiorra! that was cruel! lol, but yeah i got the pm)

Ichigo stayed beside Miko but couldnt help but focus over on Ulquiorra and Ana still scowling, he was so furious at Ulquiorra, he was a dead man and the first on Ichigo's hit list. He knew Ichigo's weaknesses and it was never good for your enemies to know that about you. Ichigo got more annoyed as he watched Ulquiorra just take Ana to Hueco Mundo, how could he just sit there and let him do that. It wasnt anything Ichigo would do, sit back and do nothing, but even he knew that sometimes you had to let things slide but he'd put things right as soon as he was in a much better situation, right now he couldnt win he'd been injured repeatedly and lost sense of reality, he wasnt using any tactics just anger.

Ichigo looked back down to Miko a blank expression on his face, but he noticed Miko smile, Ichigo gave a sigh, Ana was right Miko needed help and he didnt think he would manage another death for someone he wanted to protect. ''Im sorry Miko...i didnt think, how you were that you needed my help....but dont worry...'' he said smiling faintly ''Ill make sure your ok'' he said.

Ichigo looked back up to Ulquiorra hearing him give out orders, to kill both him and Miko and stated that Ana's hope of getting away would be killed off. Ichigo clentched his fists up, he very easily could of yelled out anything he liked, and really cursed out loud at him, but he didnt he had to tighten his fists to stop himself from yelling, but was he thought in his mind was something nasty about Ulquiorra at least. Ichigo see the portal close up and he heard the sound of the arrancar's blade. He looked surprised for a moment but then narrowed his eyes. He could defend right? or so he told himself. Ichigo moved his hand onto his completely unsuable arm, the one that had been hit by this arrancar's cero. Ichigo was already the one who was losing and no the arrancar was planning on killing them, and if they were killed, then he wouldnt know anything about it after, because Ulquiorra had ordered for them to be escorted to Hueco Mundo to be changed into arrancar. This wasnt a good situation, he knew he couldnt win, and he knew he couldnt defend either. His wound just kept on bleeding, soon he'd run put of blood. Ichigo glanced over his shoulder to Miko ''I wont let him reach you kay?'' he said trying to give Miko a little bit of hope that he'd live.
Ichigo looked to the arrancar scowling ''Hurry it up then!!! if youre gonna kill me do it already!!'' he snapped. He couldnt belive what he was saying, but he just blurted anything out, probably because he was scared of losing his life he still had so many things to prove, he was way too young to die.

[ulquiorra]

Ulquiorra heard Ana's distress after he told her that she would kill her friends, and he so wanted them dead especially Ichigo, he was the pain in his side that stopped him from carrying out plans. But maybe, just maybe this would be the end to Miko and Ichigo they had survived the most hurendous of injuries yet were just hanging onto their lives.
He glanced to Ana as he walked through the portal, this would be interesting indeed.

The arrancar raised his sword at Ichigo and Miko, he knew of how much trouble these kids had caused Ulquiorra. ''This is the end of the road for you both im afraid...but to make sure you cant move...at all...'' he began and then unsheathed a second blade and sent it right through Ichigo's foot digging the blade in until it hit the ground on the other side. ''Now then Shinigami...nowhere to run...'' he said and then frowned after hearing Ichigo's up front words telling him to hurry up and kill him. The arrancar watched Ichigo but then smirked ''I see...want to be out of your misery huh?...youve got some guts kid ill give you that....you'd make a fine espada some day when Ulquiorra comes back for you...tell ya what im gonna do becasue im nice...and you remind me of me of an arrancar i killed a few years back...cocky brat...like yourself, im not gonna give you a finishing attack....ill just cut you somewhere where the blood wont ever stop...like....'' he began and then drove his zanpakuto through Ichigo's torso twisting the blade as he sunk it into him and all the way through. ''That will be a good start....'' he said and dragged the blade up to Ichigo's chest before yanking the blade out leaving a punture to his chest. The arrancar laughed ''Your dead already....Shinigami!'' he grinned before looking to Miko, he stood up and walked over by him ''Tchhh....'' he tutted ''All i have to do to you is make that wound even worse'' he said and stomped his foot onto Miko's wounded chest. The arrancar looked to Ichigo and Miko seeing the blood now spreading like mad around them and edging towards his feet, the arrancar looked down and smirked before giving his foot a shake getting the blood off, he tapped his temple as a kind of salute to them with his index and middle finger before turning on his feet and striding off yanking his zanpakuto out of Ichigo's foot as he passed, leaving heavily wounded Miko and Ichigo to breathe their last breaths of life.

(I pmed Orihime kay Ichigo)

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

(Okay!)

Ichigo looked to the ground once the portal had closed up along with Ulquiorra and Ana, he suddenly looked up seeing the arrancar ready to strike him and probably Miko afterwards. Ichigo still tried to hurry the arrancar up, but once the arrancar started talking about him being nice enough to only let him bleed to death rather than making it a quick and out of the way death. Ichigo grit his teeth ''Bastard!!'' he snapped and moved his arm as if to go and swing a punch but he stopped after he felt the sudden pain in his arm. The next thing Ichigo knew however was the arrancar's zanpakuto was stabbed right into his foot to hold him there so the arrancar could attack him. ''Your friggin cheatin!! you afraid im gonna kill you first!! huh?...come on you coward!! you were ordered to do something so fucking well do it!!'' he yelled in anger, he didnt know why he shouted it, probably because he was scared of losing his life that he was being all bad mouthed about it, like he wasnt admtting that he'd die. But the huge amout of pain of a blade wrenching into his torso and probably causing alot of damge on the inside of him caused Ichigo to almost pass out, but he didnt he was left with no energy to kneel let alone stand. He collapsed and just layed there on his front, bleeding everywhere, even in the face of death, Ichigo was still not giving up even if he could nt move anymore, he'd find a way, all he could think about was if Miko was ok, and if Ana could be saved. Ichigo could hear the arrancar had made Miko's wound even worse, now there was little chance he could save him, he couldnt move to see to him and his bleeding would of gotten worse. ''Miko!! stay the heck awake i told you!! your not....'' he began but he had to stop to bare the internal damage from the wound inflicted on him, ''Dammit....i dont wanna die...i cant die...'' he thought. Ichigo couldnt feel his body, he was cold and lifeless before he eventually lost conciousness, and had no signs of life in him at all, which would mean he was no longer alive....

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime raced through the town immediatly after she had sensed Ichigo's spirit energy disappear. It was gone, as if he never exsisted anymore, just what had happened to him. She had a bad thought into her head, that he was maybe taken elsewhere by someone.
When Orihime reached school field she could just about sense Ichigo's reiatsu only just.
She looked around, why would Ichigo be here? the weather wasnt any good either. She sighed looking to the ground. She then ran forwards to search for him.

Orihime spotted Ichigo and a young boy next to him, they were both just lying there not moving at all, Orihime tried to reassure herself by telling her mind that they were probably so exhasted that they collapsed there. She ran towards them and when she noticed the huge amout of blood that had seeped onto the ground she panicked, her heart sank as she knelt down beside Ichigo looking to him. ''Ichi...go...'' she said quietly she looked over to the boy seeing the large wound in his chest. ''No...what happened here...who...'' she said to herself. Orihime took in a deep breath mainly to stop herself from letting tears escape her. She had to try, just try and heal them but what if she was too late, what if they had been dead a long time ago well before she got here. ''No!'' she shouted at herself ''Soten Kisshun!!'' Orihime commanded her shun shun rikka flowers as her healing petals got to work on creating an prangy haze shiled over both Ichigo and Miko. Orihime sat there looking to their hurendous wounds, what could of done this...
All Orihime could do now was watch and wait, and just prey that Ichigo and Miko came back. She watched the shild over them and then to the wounds on them both seeing nothign was rejecting, nothing. ''Please...why cant i reject thier wounds...there too deep...something powerful did this...'' she said to herself. Her breathing quickened still waiting for something anything to happen with her shiled, but suddenly parts of Miko's wounds started to heal, started to close up. She gasped in relief and then looked to Ichigo seeing they were healing slowy but steadily. Orihime smiled faintly ''Thank you...'' she said.

[ulquiorra]

Miko suddenly jolted up gasping for breaht and panting hard holding his hand to his chest.
''What?....im...alive?...no im s spirit...right? is this Soul Society'' he said then looked over to a copper haired girl. ''Are you...a shinigami? is this soul society?'' he asked her.
Miko suddenly looked down to see Ichigo laying there, his eyes widened quick,the sight of Ichigo brought back a flash of emeories in his head about the events. Images of Ana and Ichigo battling hard to protect him, and getting a cero through his chest, remebering the yelling he had done. ''Ana...'' Miko suddenly said, he remebered she was abducted.
''Ichigo!! are you....is he?'' Miko began as he looked to Orihime. He suddenly noticed Ichigo's wounds, thye were closing up. ''WHAT!!? WHAT IS THIS DEMON MAGIC!'' Miko yelled in surprise. ''What are you?....how are you doing that?...you...wait...you did that to me too! but i was....im sure i was dead...can you...'' he began almsot soundign scared. ''Bring back the dead?'' he whispered, ''Did we die?'' he asked.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo could suddenly hear voices, his body no longer felt cold or limp, he knew instantly thath he was alive. Ichigo sat up quick holding his head ''Ow...'' he moaned before looking to the side seeing Orihime sitting there looking scared.
''Inoue?...'' he began but then looked the other side seeing Miko, he was alive?
''Miko your...alright...sorry im...stupid i wanted to save Ana but you were in a bad way...i didnt know what to do...'' he said and looked down a bit sighing, he had only just realised that Orihime was the one who brought them back.
Ichigo quickly turned his head to look to Orihime.
''Inoue...did you...do this? i never thought your shun shun rikka could do that...thanks Inoue, you saved us'' he said giving a soft smile but he quickly let it fade as Ulquiorra cropped up in his mind. Ichigo's fists tightened at the memory. ''That bastard....he went back....he took Ana with him...'' he said.
Ichigo then went to stand up but he almost toppled over, he managed to gain his balance and stand up. He looked down to his chest seeing there was nothing, nothing there to even hint that he had been impailed through the chest. Ichigo looked to Orihime noticing her hairpins, he frowned a little more than usual, he wondered just what Orihime's healing abilities could do.

''We need to get to Hueco Mundo...there's no way in hell im gonna let Ulquiorra turn Ana into one them...not a chance'' he said and turned ready to wonder off, he didnt know where though.
