I assume you've already seen this, Urahara-san. So you can guess what I'm gonna ask. I don't know where Ichimaru took Ishida, but I need to find them. You're pretty much the first and only person I can ask.

I'm fine. But I'm afraid I'm not going to be of any help until they take me home. Any idea where Ishida-kun is? It looks like somewhere without snow, but I don't know how much help that's going to be.

Private to Orihime

[fighting_boy]

Thank god for that.

I'm trying to track him. You have any idea why Ichimaru would have done this?

Private to Ichigo

[leekspin]

M...mmm. Ishida-kun wasn't happy that I was going to the King's Realm. He said a lot of things to Aizen. I think Aizen's patience wore out.

Private

[fighting_boy]

I tried to warn him. Did he listen to me? Oh, for Pete's sake.

I'm glad you're safe for now. It's possible Aizen is just making a point, and Ichimaru... well, he's gonna take any way he can to get a rise out of us.

The moment I find Ishida, I'm gonna drop-kick him off the Senzaikyuu, and bitch all the way as I drag him up there first.

Private

[leekspin]

I wish I could be mad, but...I can't. I'm just worried. You know what Ichimaru-san is like. And you know how little regard Aizen has for life. They really might kill him.

Private

[fighting_boy]

I'll be mad enough for you, too, don't worry.

I mean, worry if you gotta. I do, too. I wish I had a damn clue what they want with Ishida, though. Is it just to irritate us some more, or is there somethin' else?

Private

[leekspin]

I'm not sure. He was pretty set against me going to the King's Realm, but I still don't know why I've been brought here yet. I'm pretty sure that's not the reason. The only other one I can think of would have something to do with Pesche-san.

I wish I knew more, I'm sorry.

Private

[fighting_boy]

Either Aizen is planning something, or he's screwing with us for the heck of it.

Pesche? Why on earth him?

Just keep yourself safe, Orihime.

Private

[leekspin]

Who knows? It's just a guess, admittedly. Pesche-san doesn't have a lot of connections, and he is an Arrancar. Keep an eye out for him, Ichigo-kun? Just in case.

Me? I'm fine, I'm fine. It's Ishida-kun that needs help. If you find out where he is, will you let me know? I'll keep my senses open here.

Private

[fighting_boy]

I'll do my best. There's some kind of attack under way, and we're getting flooded here.

... I'm not sure we'll be able to keep up the search, Orihime. Ichimaru covered his tracks. I'm pretty sure he had ample time to plan it out.

Keep your eyes open. Can't hurt.

Private

[leekspin]

Attacked...? By what?

I'll ask if I can leave right away, there has to be something I can do!

Private

[fighting_boy]

The freaky monster things that were in the living world and Hueco Mundo before.

You'll ask? You really think they'll let you go just like that?

It's a madhouse here, Orihime. And by "madhouse" a mean a great bloody fucking mess. You don't want to see any of this. If you come, make sure you come somewhere where there's fighters present.

Bet Captain Unohana would welcome you, though.

Private

[leekspin]

I thought they were only interested in Hollows! Why would they be in Soul Society...?

But yes, I'll ask. I'll plead for Ishida-kun's sake too. He'll probably be mad, but I can't just abandon him like that.

If I can get to Soul Society, don't worry! I'm only a little bit afraid, ha ha! I'll do what I can. I guess I don't need to tell you to be careful, so just know I'm rooting for you, no matter what. Good luck!

Private

[fighting_boy]

Don't ask me, but seems regular souls go down easy enough if there's no Hollow to be had. It's got pretty ugly.

I wish I could be there, too, but I can't leave here, either. I know you can handle it.

Good luck on your end. See you on the other side.
