Noble Love - Bleach (Kuchiki Byakuya x Oc x A bit of Various)

十八

After some time, Bawabawa had brought the team to the walls of Las Noches. They got down from him and walked towards it, where Rukia placed her hand on it. "What's with this wall?" she muttered questioningly, expecting the wall to have some kind of protective barrier or reaction towards intruders. "It doesn't seem to be the Sekki Stone, but..."

"If it isn't Sekki Stone, then we can blast our way through it!" said Ichigo enthusiastically before his hand gripped the hilt of his Zanpakutou. "Let's go, Renji!"

The said man, who had a bored look on his face, mirrored his action. "You're not the boss here, smartass." he remarked. With Rukia out of the way, and everyone taking few steps back, the two Shinigami powered up their spiritual force as much as they could until they were ready to swing their Zanpakutou down on the wall, breaking it down.

"Did we break through?" asked Ichigo.

"Looks like it." shrugged Renji while taking a step closer to stare at the dark. "I can feel a breeze."

"Wh-What're you doin'?!" shouted Nel, making the two Shinigami turn around to see her pointing towards the right. "Dere's a door over dat way, three days from here!"

"This isn't our friend's house, dummy." scolded Ichigo lightly. "We can't just waltz in through the front door."

"And we don't have time for a three-day detour." added Renji.

"Nel." called the former, which made the said Arrancar look at him, with a smile. "Thanks for bringing us here. But if you hang out with us anymore, people will think you're a traitor. It's time to say goodbye." He then turned around and ran into Las Noches through the hole. "Later!" The others soon followed behind, leaving Nel and her friends behind.

However, she began following behind while shouting his name, making the said boy stop running, as well as the others, to turn around and listen. "Itsygo, we been traitors ever since Lunuganga-sama saw us togedder!" she shouted. "May-Maybe even before den! Aizen-sama prob'ly knows all about it! Dere's no way Aizen-sama will forgive us! And even if he did, the Espada definitely won't! So take us with you! Don't leave us! Itsgyo, don' worry 'bout us!"

"What's she saying?" questioned Renji, who didn't look amused.

"So she wants us to worry about her, huh?" concluded Sado.

'Ichigo would make a fine babysitter.' thought Asa with a giggle.

"You gots to take us with you!" continued Nel while running. Ichigo, on the other hand, stared blankly, not knowing what to do at that moment. "You can't go! Don't go! Don't go! Please, please, please, please don't go!"

Heaving a frustrated sigh, he said, "Alright already, I-" He then interrupted by a loud thud. "Huh?"

"Her voice is getting fainter." noted Uryu. "It sounded like she fell down somewhere."

"Fell?" repeated Ichigo questioningly. "What do you mean?" With that, he ran back to where they came in from to search for Nel.

"Wait, Ichigo!" called Rukia, who began following him.

"Nel!" called the said boy. But to his surprise, Pesche and Dondochakka were running in his direction, and the three of them collided before falling to the ground.

"That hurt." said Pesche.

"That hurt, don'tcha know." said Dondochakka while rubbing his mask.

"That's my line!" said Ichigo.

Rukia then arrived to witness the scene, followed by the others. "What are you fools doing?" she asked.
