Brothers

How...

OOOO...

Ichi: What is going on?

I don't even...

Naru: Your taking Ichi away!

Now, now. Ichi-berry is needed somewhere else. Wait and read. 

Ichi: Why do I feel something bad is going to happen? 

Nothing is going to happen! Nothing to painful, anyway...

Ichi/Naru: What does that mean?!

Rukia twitched and played with her fingers nervously. It had been a week, and Ichigo had not come back. He was alive, yes, with the help of Kon. Even the irritating lion plush was worried. 

"Don't worry, little Kuchki! He will be back!" the positive shop keeper exclaimed. 

"Urahara, it has been a week, and no one has seen hide nor hair of that stupid substitute!" Rukia barked. 

Urahara blinked a few times, then a smile stretched over his face. 

"Then who is that?" Kisuke asked. 

Rukia followed the store owner's finger, and gasped as Ichigo lay there, panting and sweating bullets. 

"Ichigo!" Rukia panicked.

She went to his side and dragged him into the shop, finding he couldn't do so himself. Kisuke opened all the doors heading to the back, and called Orihime. Orihime had appeared not twenty minutes later, and rushed to her friend. She called her healing barrier, and slowly tried to get her friend to full health. 

"What did this? Soul reapers cant get ill," Rukia asked. 

"Not su-" 

Kisuke was stopped as Ichigo sat up quickly and looked around. Ichigo blinked, looked at the people in front of him in turn. 

"Hi..." Ichigo said slowly, not knowing what was going on. 

"Ichigo! Your okay!" Orihime shouted, hugging the orange haired male. 

"Where were you?" Rukia questioned, a scowl on her face and her hand inching toward her zanpakto. 

"Now, Rukia. He looks as confused as the rest of us. Let reality sink in," Kisuke scolded lightly. 

"So... I'm back. How long was I gone?" Ichigo asked. 

"A week or so," Orihime answered. 

"So the time is the same. Wait, what happened to-" 

"Kon is keeping it. Your sisters found out pretty soon that you weren't the one in your body and got suspicious. They were told the truth," Rukia explained. 

"Alright, now that you know what's going on, time to fill us in," Kisuke ordered. 

Ichigo explained everything. Rukia and Orihime's eyes were wide with curiosity while Urahara's were calculating. Something about this is fishy. 

"And then I ended up back here," Ichigo finished. 

"Wow, you went into another dimension!" Orihime summed up.
