IchiIshi: Fire And Ice

Ch.5: The Promise (Final Chapter)

Ishida's POV

            I had woken up before Ichigo. It was still dark out, I looked at my wrist watch...it was 11:00 PM...damn.

            As I got out of bed and put my clothes back on, I felt a very strong spiritual pressure; A soul reaper's spiritual pressure. I got up quickly, but then someone had grabbed me from behind. I whipped my head around to see who it was; it was no other than Captain Yamamoto of Squad one. He covered my lips with his hand.

            "Make one sound and you're dead." He whispered to me.

            I struggled in his arms, I screamed, "Ichigo! Help!"

Ichigo's POV

                        I heard his voice, I woke up to find Uryuu in the arms of Captain Yamamoto. "What the hell do you want?! Let Uryuu go!" I snapped.

                "Bring me the soul reapers that are here to Karakura park by midnight. If you all aren't there...something might happen to your lover." Yamamoto said 'lover' like it was a disgusting swear word to say. He lifted Uryuu up and waved. I was paralyzed by his spiritual pressure...I couldn't move! Yamamoto got away! Damn!

                Soon after Yamamoto left with Uryuu; I felt another strong spiritual pressure, then another one. I looked over to the door of the room. It felt as if they were outside. I put my clothes back on, then grabbed my combat pass.

                I walked over to the door, opened it...nobody was there. What the hell? I swore there was someone outside. As I turned back, I noticed a quick glimpse of a zanpakuto. I lashed my head around to find three soul reapers; Shunsui, Shuuhei, and Izuru.

                Shunsui smiled, "Ichigo Kurosaki, it's good to see you again."

                "What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped.

                Shuuhei put his hand on my sholder, " Calm down, we're here to save your ass." He calmly said.

                Shunsui then continued, "Rukia told you everyone was here on a 'vacation' didn't she? Well...she lied. All of us are here in hiding. Some idiot snitched all of us. So now we're all on the run. You see, it's a serious crime to engage in sexual activity with the same gender, or have a gay relationship."

                Wait a minute...."So Rukia...?"

                Shunsui nodded, "Yes, she-"

                Izuru interrupted, "Don't tell him!" he snapped as he covered Shunsui's mouth with his hand

                This made no sense whatsoever. Damn, I need to get Uryuu back. "Okay, we need to get all the others to Karakura Park now! Rangiku and Toshiro are probably at Orihime's place. Ikkaku and Yumichika are probably over at Keigo's apartment. Rukia is at my house. Renji is at Urahara's. And I hae no clue where Byakuya and Ukitake are."

                Shunsui grinned, "I know where Ukitake is. Lieutenant Kira should know where Captain Kuchiki is." He glaced over at Izuru.

                Izuru perked up, "Oh, yes, I have an idea where he would be."

                I grinned, "Alright, we'll all gather everybody up and meet at Karakura Park just in time" I put my combat pass to my chest and transformed into my soul form. Then I went to get all the others.
