AN: God I am tired, but that is the way of the world, my glasses just broke (me sad) but I have my old ones so I'll be fine….hopefully…hmm maybe I could pull of an Aizen and look evil if I broke my glasses in front of everyone…thoughts to consider another time. Anyways I hope you enjoy my new chapter, (3 reviews in about a day that is great for me). Keep on reviewing and I'll keep on working on this story.

I'm not really all that happy with this chapter but things are finally starting to come together.

Does the Villain destroy the Hero, or create the Hero?-Unknown

'DAMMIT RUKIA GIVE ME A SECOND!' Yelled out Ichigo as loud as he could as he dogged another light beam.

She was currently trying to teach him another lesson, which one this one was he really was not sure, all he knew was that he had to avoid those light beams, it's not like they hurt or anything, and it is incredibly easy to break out of them.

No the problem was that she would stack about 20 of them on him in about 5 seconds and then unleash a lightning bolt from her fingers in about 2 seconds. Hell she had even stopped chanting the same thing over and over again and instead was just releasing light after light.

Suddenly he was hit on his right leg which he was not expecting and then had about 30 of them hit him….fuck he was lead straight into a trap, it would take him a good minute to overwhelm these things.

Rukia held up her hand to signify that it was over before saying, 'would you like to know how I did that.' Ichigo nodded his head before he fell to the ground fairly tired as he looked up at the night sky.

Her head suddenly was in his vision as she glared at him; he sighed as he got up and rubbed his stiff leg.

She shrugged before saying then 'You always lead with your left leg and move back with your right leg, it took me a few tries to figure out how to lead you to a different place, your dangerous but your only long rage move the cero takes you a too long to fire, and you predictable which might as well kill you on the battlefield.'

Ichigo sighed softly before saying, 'Ya, you're probably right, no you are right, I'm just used to doing something the same way all the time, it's a bad habit I picked up when I was down under.'

She nodded her head in understanding before saying, 'well then every night we are going to do this to train your body, during the day you will learn all that you can about the Shinigami and the different types of Shinigami and hollows including Zanpakutō, and we will work on some Kido on the side to work on your control, currently I could sense you about a mile away.'

Ichigo nodded his head, it looks like he was back at square one all over again…how many times had this happened to him….he needed to start a counter or something.

Rukia sighed as she sat down next to him. Ichigo looked at her, noticing her shoulders to tense her body ready to jump and flee, he had to ask 'What's wrong?

She looked at him with some surprise before sighing and saying, 'I wasn't really…prepared for this, and the humane world is…odd. You have city's that never sleep, and some of the strangest technology.'

Ichigo shrugged a bit before saying, 'I am not really all that sure about a lot of it either, I have been gone for about 3 years after all.'

After a tense moment he asked, 'Do you have a family in Soul Society.'

Rukia shrugged a bit before responding and even then it seemed hesitant, 'Sort of, I have a brother that I don't…that I don't really know.'

Ichigo decided not to pry as he saw Rukia was in a bad mood….how to cheer her up. Getting up he went into his body which was conveniently next to the tree.

Once he entered the body always an odd experience he looked around and saw their training ground…a public park…probably not their best decision but they did go out at night for a reason after all. Going over to Rukia in a second he picked her up and started walking.

After a second Rukia slapped him in the face very hard.

Owww, vicious little midget.

She seemed to expect him to drop her, he kept on walking, she was going to slap him again when he glared at her….he had a very good glare.

It seemed only to amuse her as she tilted up her chin at him, Ichigo allowed himself a smirk, he knew where he was going.

'Ichigo where the hell are we?' Ichigo smirked at Rukias question before saying, 'the best place for ice-cream in Karakura Town.' Ichigo set Rukia down on her feet before entering the place and after a second Rukia followed.

'What kind of ice-cream do you want?'

Now that I think about it, I don't even think she knows what Ice-cream is…..well this could get bad, fast.

…chocolate. Rukia said in a very…..hostile way. He ignored it and within seconds they had Ice-Cream cones and were sitting down.

Rukia started to consume the chocolate very fast as he blinked, in about 5 seconds half of it was gone.

Huu…..that was odd.

She slowed down fast when she touched her and muttered out 'owww.' Ichigo allowed himself a smirk before he enjoyed his own ice-cream.

After a minute Rukia grudgingly said 'thank you.' Ichigo smiled, glad his work was done, he had made her just a bit happier….or angry at him.

Either one worked for his purposes.

Hearing a quick beep on Rukias cell phone he looked down as she sighed before quickly devouring the rest of the ice-cream. Then she grabbed him by the shirt and they ran off.

He left his ice-cream there.

Rukia smirked a bit as she saw Ichigo kill Hollow after hollow; he was starting to get good at this. By instinct he was already good with the blade, and while his foot work was terrible it was good enough to kill the average hollow.

She had to admit there was something odd about him. Not only did he know when she was feeling very sad but he also figured out how to cheer her up….and she found out just how much she liked Ice-cream. He was a nice guy.

….so why was he in Hell to begin with….and what is his past. He did something terrible enough to in order to get disowned of all things yet he…yet he was just so dammed good or at least of what she had seen so far.

…She looked eyes with him for a second until she quickly had to look away. His eyes where always…where always way to intense, yet they also seemed haunted and filled with regret of all thi-.

She blinked as she saw a hand wave in front of her face. She sighed, she was usually a lot more observant then this, especially around hollows…must be because of the rather large amount of Kido she had to use.

'Rukia…ummm Rukia, I think the hollows around here are dead, can we head on back to Uraharas.

'….ummm Rukia….shit she fell asleep.' She felt him genteelly pick her up and speed his way across back to Uraharas place.

She smirked softly, she really did not want to walk, and since she was so warm she decide to fall asleep.

'Shuren…that is suicide, you want to go….lower into hell…that's stupid, the Kushanāda alone are dangerous enough, but even if you escape them then there are the people there who are worse than all of the others are. Hell even Kokutō agrees with me and we hate each other. '

Shuren shrugged before saying, 'I think that's the only way that we can ever figure out how to get out of hell Ichigo, no one goes down they only go up, maybe we will find a way to get out of here and into haven if we do it right.'

After a second Shuren then said, 'Listen Ichigo,' suddenly he could feel a blade digging into his heart as he blinked in some surprise as Shuren sighed. 'The others…they are too loyal to you personally, I'll say you died and got absorbed by the begging of a Kushanāda. Of course we will head down and when you come back they'll assume it is the Kushanāda trying to trick them….sorry Ichigo…think of this as the one you owe me.'

Ichigo wanted to scream but blood was already starting to come from his mouth….fuck his life.

He managed to mutter out, 'I will find yo- you, and I wil- and I will kill you.'

Shuren let out a small sad chuckle until leaving to let him die.

Ichigo woke up suddenly breathing deeply his heart was racing….it was just a dream…just another bad dream he would live, he would be fine.

'A bad dream' said a strange almost silky like voice. He went on guard and turned fast automatically going for his sword…shit he was in his humane body.

'Now, now I am not the enemy, if anything I am one of your only allies,' said the man.

He looked at the man. He was of average build, brown calculating eyes with black glasses, brown hair, a Shinigami uniform with a strange white robe on.

Ichigo looked at him before saying, 'who are you and what the hell do you mean.'

The man responded fast, 'My name is Aizen and I am just one of if not your only ally in Heaven right now, and you are going to need it.'

Ichigo looked at the man for a good minute before he sighed as he said, 'I'll bite, why am I going to need it.'

Aizen shrugged before handing him a small crystal ball. Picking it up he saw images flash right in front of him along with sound.

Four black robed me stood in a circle as they spook to each other

'Simply put we need to get rid of this problem, with Rukia Kuchiki around not only does it make it far harder for us to get the Kuchiki fortune but it keeps the Kuchiki name still a noble name. So I purpose we get one of the Onmitsukidō to deal with her. That should incapacitate him and we should be able to get the fortune pretty fast, we can split it between ourselves.'

One of the black robbed men said simply, 'How?'

The one who started the mini speech shrugged before saying, 'make the rest of central 46 think she is a traitor then we will have plenty of backing, if we are good enough we might even be able to get Suì-Fēng to aid us in this.'

The recording started to fill up with static until that was all that was left as he dropped the ball. Aizen easily caught it before saying, 'do you understand now, I want to keep the Kuchiki name and family alive, imagine my surprise when I find that she transferred her powers to you, it will be your job to help keep her alive from now on, and I think I know how to help you.'

Aizen threw him a small scroll and he easily caught it as he said, 'not only does that scroll contain how to do the flash steps, but also the way the Onmitsukidō work, it should help you defend against them if need be, here is another side warning, don't tell Rukia she will likely not believe you and if she does then she would look far to suspicious.'

Within a second Aizen was gone as he stared at the scroll trying to take in all the info.

Well if even half of what Aizen said was true….he was completely fucked.

He sighed softly…well his life just got complicated.

AN: Don't worry Aizen Is still a bad guy, still the main bad guy….sort of, it will all be explained.

But good news finally 10,000 WORDS! Me so happy.

Hmm you will notice some portions of this dedicated to Rukia and Ichigo getting to know each other, and yes that is a major part of the story. Not really for the paring but more along the lines of how Ichigo will change and evolve because of her.

….well I typed too much…and I refuse to hit the back space button.

I should probably send this to my beta but…..but I feel like I have to put this chapter out fast, maybe I'll send this one and the last one to them and then replace the chapter. Hmm Thanks for reading, now that you read please tell me how I can improve or your thoughts or-

Hichigo: Stop begging for reviews and finish this AN.

Author: Go burn in hell Hichi.

…but Hichi is right, see you all later.
