"Why…WHY?" Rukia screamed in her head "Why did this happen?…those…bastards, every single last one of them are bastards!"

It happened so fast…Ichigo nor Rukia ever saw it coming

Ichigo had just returned from his fight with the 4th Espada, in the process bringing a new mask with him, but despite his best Efforts, he only managed to land a scratch on the Cero Espada's neck, then hope seemed to have arrived, Kenpachi Zaraki and Byakuya Kuchiki had arrived to help or so it seemed…Captain Unohana and Lieutenant Isane had showed up to help as did Captain Mayuri, It all Seemed like the Espada would be dead and buried in 5 Minutes tops…

"Have they been dealt with?" Byakuya asked out of the blue

"Hardly" Mayuri Scoffed "Due to your late arrival I was forced to let the Quincy go"

"Let him go?" Rukia thought "What does he mean by that?"

"You let him go?" Kenpachi scoffed

"Idiot" Mayuri Groaned "The Quincy nearly killed me last time, I'd prefer it if I didn't run the risk a second time"

"It does not matter" Byakuya said as he turned around to Ichigo "I Take it the Quincy and the human girl perished in the battle?"

"What the hell?" Ichigo practically screamed "Of course they didn't!"

"I See…" Byakuya muttered

"'The hell you pricks talking about?" The Cero Espada, Yammy Rialgo roared

"It does not concern you" Byakuya Scolded

"So we're carrying this out now?" A newly healed Renji spoke up

"W-What are they talking about?" Rukia wondered

"It appears so" Byakuya said, Kenpachi groaned while Captain Unohana had a look of Regret in her eyes

"What are you guys talking about?" Ichigo asked, baffled

"Christ, I'd hoped to get to fight him one last time" Kenpachi groaned as he walked towards Ichigo

"It'll be over soon" Renji said to Rukia with a mmile

"W-What are you talking about?" Rukia stuttered, Renji's eye's widened

"C'mon Rukia…That's not funny" He noted

"What are you talking about?" She groaned "The war is far from over…"

"C-Captain" He stuttered at Byakuya "You…You told me-"

"I lied Renji" He admitted "Her knowing could endanger the mission"

"Okay…this isn't funny" Rukia said, a hint of fear in her voice "What are you two talking about?"

"I agree" Ichigo nodded "What are you two talk-"

Ichigo could not finish his sentence as a sudden pain in his chest suddenly rose up

"What…What the" He began…he looked down and saw what causing him that immense pain

Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutou…impaled through his chest

"Ichigo!" Rukia screamed as she began to charge, only for Renji to hold her back

Mayuri Korosuchi's Zanpakutou followed, Piercing his abdomen

"To think" Mayuri scoffed "To think we could of saved a hell of a lot of time by simply walking up and stabbing him!"

"Stop it!" Rukia screamed as she struggled to break free of Renji's Grip "What are you doing!"

"W…Why" Is all Ichigo could get out before Senbonzakura pierced his heart

"NO!" Rukia cried out "Why are you doing this?!"

"You Really don't know" Renji sighed

"W…Why" she Began as tears began to fall

The three captains removed their Zanpakutou from Ichigo Kurosaki's body, The orange haired boy's eyes were rolled up into the back of his head, that's all that Rukia could see as his limp body fell to the ground

Ichigo was dead

The rage took over Rukia as she elbowed Renji in the jaw, forcing him to let go

She dashed towards Ichigo's dead body and cradled him

"Nii-Sama…why?" She whispered as she held Ichigo's head to her chest

"I suppose I should inform you now of the true nature of this mission Rukia" Byakuya sighed as he sheathed his Zanpakutou

"True nature?" She stuttered as she looked at him with tear filled eye's "Nii-Sama what are you talking about? this is a mission to rescue Orihime Inoue from Aizen, you said it yourself!"

"That was merely a guise to fool them…and you Rukia" He explained

"T-Then what is the nission?" She stuttered, Byakuya's words would haunt her forever…

"To eliminate Kurosaki Ichigo" Byakuya announced as Rukia's eyes widened

"E-Eliminate…why?" She asked as more tears fell

"He has been deemed to dangerous to live"

"N-Nii-Sama, w-why?" She asked again as Ichigo's blood fell down onto her lap

"That is none of your concern" He said as he walked away, towards the Cero Espada

"Tell me Nii-Sama!" She screamed "TELL ME!"

"The boy is a Hybrid" Byakuya explained as he stopped and turned around "Part Shinigami-Part Hollow"

"W-What?" She stuttered

"It is true, during our fight in the Soul Society some…thing took over the boy's body" He explained

"Nii-Sama I'm aware of this, what's the problem?" She screamed, it wasn't like Ichigo was a hollow, just that he had hollow powers

"C-Captain…" Renji stuttered again "You…You told me she knew"

"This…This can't be happening" She whispered as she held Ichigo's head "Why…who…"

"I-Ichigo…I…I never even got the chance to tell you I….I"

"The Quincy, the Mexican and the human girl are also to be killed due to exposure to the Vizard's reiatsu, be thankful you were not also on the execution list" Byakuya explained, the way he said it was like he was rubbing salt in a wound, "You'll get over him in time…If you don't…I'll force you to forget him"

"Be…thankful…" She whispered "I should be thankful…that you killed Ichigo…and that Uryu, Orihime and Chad are next?" Her eye's were practically red with rage "I…I…I won't"

"Killing your own comrade because he's different " Yammy scoffed "Some fucked up logic you got there"

"How many times have I told you to be quiet?" Byakuya scoffed back

"C'mon Rukia" Renji said as he began to drag her away

"No!" She yelled as she aimed to escape her grasp "Let me go Renji!"

"Come on" He groaned "You Know it would happen, Ichigo is a hollow he was-"

"NO!" She yelled "He's not a hollow, He's a human!"

"Oh come on" He chuckled, Rukia couldn't believe it, Ichigo was just brutally murdered infront of them…and Renji was laughing "Vizard, Hollow, Arrancar, same thing"

"Don't you dare!" She shouted as she broke free of his grasp and turned to him "Don't you dare put Ichigo in the same category as arrancar's!"

"Please" He groaned "You don't need him…you need me"

Rukia groaned in disgust as Renji closed his eyes and lowered his lips to hers, going for a kiss, she knew he loved her, but she didn't feel the same way, she hoped in due time that he'd let it go, But he never did, not once did she even think of returning his feelings, He was her friend, nothing more…and now he wasn't even that

Rukia reeled back her fist and threw it right into Renji's nose

"What?!" He shouted as he held his now broken nose "Why did you-"

"How….How long were they-"

"Planning to kill Ichigo?" Renji finished her sentence for her as he rubbed his nose "Since the beginning"

"W-What?"

"Right after Ichigo's fight with Captain Kuchiki had ended, he told the Head-Captain what had happened"

Rukia couldn't believe it…She knew Byakuya disappeared after the fight with Ichigo and returned just in time to him to save her from Gin's "Shinso"…but she had no Idea that in-between that time he was reporting Ichigo's hollow powers to the Head-Captain

"Nii-Sama…"

"When we were sent to the world of the living, we were actually sent to kill Ichigo…but the objective changed when you practically begged to come along"

It was true, Rukia practically begged to come along, she just wanted to see Ichigo again but she claimed it was because of her knowledge of the world of the living, the Head-Captain was resilient, when he finally agreed he had looked annoyed and he heard his Lieutenant whisper "Shall we delay it?"

"Instead the mission was changed to us being stationed in the real world to deal with the arrancars, hoping they would kill him, after that didn't happen...they devised a plan"

"T-They?" Rukia stuttered "Who is-"

"The soul society…once they found out you were training Orihime, they devised a plan…let the arrancar Kidnap her"

"What?" She shouted "All of this time…All this hell we've been through…is because the soul society let Aizen take Orihime?"

"They knew Ichigo and his damn hero complex would take charge and lead an Assault into Hueco Mundo, so they made sure Orihime would get captured on her path through the Dangai, the guards were oblivious, they were mere lambs to the slaughter"

It took all of Rukia's being not to vomit at this point, all of this…ever since they saved the soul society from Aizen…they had been planning to kill them…

"Once we found out that Kurosaki, Ishida and Sado had left for Hueco Mundo" Renji began, not even bothering to pretend like they were his friends anymore "We were sent to kill them because we knew them the best and would know what they would and would not expect…at least…that's what I was told" He pointed out Rukia's lack of knowledge of the actual mission

"You…You mean..." She began

"That's right…I was In charge of the mission to kill Kurosaki"

Rukia tried not to scream as he mind was practically shattered, her best friend for the last 100 years had been assigned the mission of killing and Ichigo…and he accepted it

"I…I thought Ichigo was your friend…"

"FRIEND?" Renji laughed "Hell no! In fact I was glad when I was given the task of killing him!"

*Smack*

Rukia's fist Met Renji's face once again

"Ow! Stop hitting me dammit!" He yelled as he held his nose

"You bastard!" She roared "How dare you…"

"How dare I what?" He laughed "Come on Rukia…you don't need him…I was…I was planning to say this later…but I've finally found the courage to tell you…I love you Rukia"

"I-"

"There!" Renji shouted in relief "I finally Said it! I finally-"

"I don't feel the same" She spat out, hoping she had just crushed the bastard who used to be her best friend's heart

"Wh-What?" He stuttered, literately feeling his heart crack

"Break your heart?" She growled "Good! I hope it stay's broke for the rest of your miserable fucking life!"

She then began to turn away but Renji grabbed her shoulder,

"You're mine"

Rukia had enough, she aimed to land one final blow but Renji caught her fist, twisted her around and put her in a sleeper hold

"You're mine..." He repeated, he was breathing hard, he was in Denial that Rukia didn't love him "I won't let him take you"

"I DON'T BELONG TO YOU!" She roared as she bit his arm, attempted to rip the flesh off the bone, Renji roared in pain as he tightened the grip around her neck "Let…go of me"

"No…you're…" he began but was cut off as Rukia smacked the back of her head against his, finally rupturing the bastard's nose and forcing him to let her go

"Rukia-chan" Unohana whispered

"Rukia" Byakuya said as he flash stepped infront of her "Cease your foolish-"

"Get out of my way Byakuya!" She shouted, clearly showing her loss of respect for the man

"How dare you" He scolded

"You're not my brother anymore!" She shouted "You're nothing to me!"

"Such insolence" Byakuya scoffed

"I will never forgive you!" She roared as she drew out Sode no Shirayuki, She noticed Isane was walking towards the unconscious Sado on the ground "Stay away from him!"

"Foolish girl" He groaned "Do not force me to take action…they're going to die, accept it"

"No…" She said with a stern voice "You've already killed Ichigo, I won't let you take anymore innocent lives!"

"It is going to happen Rukia" Byakuya said in a voice void of any emotion "They will die, and there's nothing you can do to stop it"

"I will kill you" She said as tears began to fall "For Ichigo"

"Fool" He said as she began to charge "Hado #1, Sho"

The Weak hado blast was enough to knock Rukia onto her back

"Don't you see Rukia?" Byakuya asked "You're too weak to do anything…They will die…"

Rukia looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Mayuri walking towards Chad

"No…please…leave him alone" She said to herself "They haven't done anything…please…get up Ichigo, help me…help us…help Ichigo, help! HELP!"

"HELP US! ICHIGO!" She screamed

Everyone turned around as they felt a sudden burst of Reiastu, They all looked at Ichigo with shocked eye's, he was still lying on the ground, but something had changed...

"His…" Renji began

"His hair grew longer..." Rukia finished
