Save Me from the Dark (Old)

A Hollow Requiem

Sorry for being late with this chapter, forgive me it's short! Trust me when I say next chapter won't be near as disappointing as these last few have! I'm happy to at least have something worthy enough for an update, so here it is!
---------------------------------------------

       Orihime sat there as tears surged down her cheeks. An empty feeling spread and infected her heart, leaving her body hollow and void. A crackling sound came from behind her as an unstable Garganta opened. Orihime slowly turned her head, recognizing the figure stepping out of it as Urahara Kisuke, the shopkeeper. "We need to get out here, Orihime, before more hollows come. Where's Ichigo?" He said abruptly. New, hot tears welled up in Orihime's eyes at the mention of Ichigo. "H...he stabbed I...Ichigo and t...took him somewhere. I...I ju...just don't know anymore." Orihime cried out to Kisuke. Her eyes became puffy and  bloodshot as she continued to cry while Kisuke ushered her through the Garganta. "Owihime!" Cried out a childish voice. Orihime spun around to see Nel sprinting towards them at break-neck speeds. "Nel!" Orihime shouted. At the last moment when it seemed the Garganta would close Nel leapt through into Orihime's arms. Kisuke turned around and asked, "Now who is this little arrancar you have here?" "I'm Newiel Tu Odershvank!" Nel said enthusiastically. "Well let's get through the Garganta quickly, it's beginning to collapse." Urahara said swiftly as he turned around to make a solid, light blue path of reiatsu. Orihime spun around with Nel in her arms and tears pricking her eyes. It was a good five minutes before they reached the exit of the Garganta and jumped into the training arena. Urahara quickly summoned Team Karakura, Tessai, and Yoruichi to the sitting room to plan on how to take things from here. They decided on taking a couple days, four or six at most, to recuperate and train a bit more. They then get reinforcements from the Soul Society, and storm Hueco Mundo and find Ichigo. Orihime was eager to pull through these next few days and get the major part of the plan rolling.

        A spiked whip cracked against bare skin bloodying it further than it already was. "How long do you think you can keep this up, this tough guy act of yours." An insane voice sneered. "Bring out your Final Hollowfication already and let's have some fun!" The voice taunted again. "Shikina, restrain yourself! We need him alive to see this form! You constantly whipping him is not going to make him anymore compliant to our needs, now is it Kurosaki?" A dark figure snarled. Ichigo raised his head up, spitting out a mouthful of blood and said, " You're right Seinaru, but even then I won't let you kill the Soul King!"
