Unknown Chapter 13



"YOUUU IDIOT!" Rukia smacked Ichigo in the face and watched him slam into half a wall. "We told you wait and then you do this!" She grabs the half conscious Ichigo and rapidly shakes him and continues to yell about what an Idiot he was. Grimmjow and Renji stood there dumbfounded in front of the warehouse that was now into bits of pieces. "Now because of you we can't even confront the Visoreds let alone Shinji!" Rukia yelled as she smacked Ichigo one more time. She took a deep breath and face palmed herself. "I swear when it comes to Jenna you have a one tracked mind!"

Kisuke and Yoruichi were looking around the area hoping to get some kind of idea of where Shinji and the others went but no luck. They walked back up to the street. "It looks like they are gone for now. We can't sense any of them. The best thing we can do now is to head back and think of a plan. I will have captain Hitsugaya and the others scan the area anyway they can. " Kisuke said. Grimmjow looked around and shook his head. "I don't think any plan will work if we can't even find them…"

They reached the house moments later. Kisuke put down the barrier and quickly realized that it had been tamped with. He rushed into the house causing a chain reaction with the others who rushed after him. Kisuke open the door and looked around. "Kisuke what is wrong?" Ichigo says. "The barrier that I had placed up around the house had been tampered with…" He walked into the living room and looked around. He rubbed a hole that with in the table. "It looks like one of them was here." Ichigo felt a chill go down his spine and he rushed to Jenna's room and slammed the door open. It was dark but he could see someone sleeping in the bed.

The window was slightly open and the wind was blowing the curtains a bit. He smiled and rubbed his head. "Jenna is safe…" Rukia walked from behind him and felt the wall for a light switch. Ichigo walked over to Jenna and sat on the bed. She was breathing softly but she as shivering. "Dummy…if you are going to be cold don't leave the window open." He says softly as he ran is hand across her face. Rukia had found the light switch and flipped it on. The light filled the room and Ichigo could see how peaceful Jenna looks. "I-Ichigo…" Rukia said as she backed up and reached for her sword. Ichigo looked up and gave her a concern look. "What are you doing Rukia?"

Rukia looked pale and the sweat started too dropped down her face. Her eyes weren't looking at Jenna but instead were looking up. Ichigo felt very cold. It was not the usual cold from something like the wind. Ichigo stood up and slowly turned around and saw something dark covering the wall. It was like dark paint but it was moving or rather trying to shape itself. Ichigo back up and grabbed his sword. The dark substance started moving more violently. "What is that?" Ichigo says. They watched at the substance stretched out to what it looked like to be arms. One was on the bed over Jenna and the other one was on the floor.

"Ugh!…I can't get to Jenna like this…" Ichigo said. The arm that was around Jenna was wrapping itself around her like it was protecting her. Suddenly the substance started to take form and it dropped down behind the bed and a familiar body came back up. Ichigo eyes narrowed as a face looked back at him. "Hello…boy…" Ichigo glared at him. "What do you think you are doing here? Get away from Jenna!" Just then a strong pressure blasted out the man. Ichigo and Rukia were slammed nearly through the floor. They could hear bodies falling as well in the other room. "Why youuu…Ulquiorra…"

Ulquiorra stretched his body till he was in front of Ichigo. "…You know my name boy…?" The question threw Ichigo off and then he got angry. "Don't play games with me!" He looked over at Jenna. "What do you want with Jenna…?" Ulquiorra went back over to Jenna. "Jenna…has always been mine…" "What!" The hand that was on the floor rose up and was hanging over Ichigo. It started to form into a blade and it was aimed straight for Ichigo. Ichigo ignored the danger because he was too ticked at the earlier comment. "Jenna was never yours! I'll destroy you if you touch her!" Ulquiorra looked at him. "You know my name yet…you don't remember me do you boy…"

The blade moved away from Ichigo and went back into a hand. "You're an Arrancar…you work under Aizen your empty eyes sickness me…" Ichigo says. "Is that all you can remember…I guess I can expect you to burry that memory of when we first met." Ichigo gave him a confused look. "When we…first met…" Ulquiorra narrowed his eyes and cocked his head to the side a bit "Think back…to when you first saw Jenna…"

Ichigo blinked as something started to come back to him. In his memories he remembered playing at the playground when a ball came bouncing his way. When he picked it up a small girl was running towards him. She stopped short at first looking scared. "Um, that's my ball. Can I have it back?" Their eyes met and Ichigo could feel his face heating up. The girl noticing this looked panic. "Your face is turning red! Are you sick? You shouldn't be outside if you're sick!" She put her hand on his forehead but, it only made his face turned red even more.

The girl panicked even more and backed up. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that." She looked down at the ground. "If you want the ball you can keep it or throw it away." She turned around and ran towards a tree not far from the park. Ichigo looked down at the ball then ran after the girl. "Hey wait a moment!" The girl turned around and just before Ichigo could stop himself he felt something push him and he ended up falling on top of the girl.

"Ow…that really hurt…what pushed me?" Ichigo looked around. "Hey, could you please move?" Ichigo looked down and met the girl eye to eye. His face turned red once more. "I…uh…sorry about that! I just wanted to give you your ball back." He smiled and gave her the ball. The girl looked confused. "But why?" "Huh, it's your ball right. So you should have it back." The girl looks down at the ball. "You didn't have to do that. You should wash your hands. They might be dirty." Ichigo laughed. "Well when you have been playing in the dirt all day you are bound to get dirty."

His eyes then lit up. "Hey why don't you come play with me?" The girl quickly shook her head. "No, I mean I am fine up here." Ichigo pouted. "Don't be like that!" He grabbed her hand and started to pull her towards the playground. The girl started to struggle a bit. "No…let me go!" Suddenly something cut Ichigo's hand. He lets go and looked at the cut. "Hey what's the big id-ea…" His eyes widen and he fell back on the ground. The girl had tears in her eyes and a dark shadow was covering her body like it was protecting her. A dark hand was outstretched towards him and tiny drops of blood dripped from the finger. Its eyes were so empty that it felt like Ichigo was about to lose himself in them. His body started to shake. The hand outreached to him but, before it could touch him it disappeared.

The girl looked down at Ichigo. "I'm sorry but, you should stay away from me. Everything I touch always break." She grabbed the ball and started to walk away.


Ichigo's eyes snapped up as he looked up at Ulquiorra. "That was you that day!" "Do you remember me now boy…" "How is that possible!?" "Jenna has been mine from the start. I will never let her go." Ulquiorra raised his hand and brought it down. "I shall kill you now…" Just as he dropped his blade Jenna started to stir. Ulquiorra looked back. "Consider yourself lucky boy." Ulquiorra slid back towards the wall. He looked down at Jenna. His yellow eyes turned green as he rubbed against her face. He then faded just as Jenna opened her eyes. Jenna sat up and looked around. "Ichigo? Why are you laying on the ground?" Ichigo stood up and walked towards the window. There was no sign of Ulquiorra. He sat on the bed. "So it really is Ulquiorra…"

Jenna was still sitting in the bed when everyone else joined them upstairs. Ichigo was explaining what happen. Rukia rubbed her chin. Jenna tapped on Ichigo's shoulder. "I have something to say about that shadow…or Ulquiorra as you called him before…I think I may know why he is targeting me." Kisuke walked up to her. "You know something Jenna?" She nodded. "While you were gone two people had come over to kill this baby and the shadow." She rubbed her stomach. "They told me if I allowed them to kill the baby and Mr…uh Ulquiorra then they would tell me everything about me and my past. Even though I wanted to know something inside didn't want them to harm the baby or Ulquiorra. So I refused. That was when Ulquiorra had showed himself but he wasn't the scary shadow that I had seen recently. He looked more human. He was sweating a lot even though he claimed he was cold. I don't remember to much after that but when I opened my eyes it felt like I was having one of my floating dreams again."

Jenna took a deep breath. "I came to this door…it was yellow and covered in chains. It also had a lot of cracks in it." She rubbed her head. Kisuke crossed his arms. "That must have been some door into your memories right?" Jenna nodded. "I see…please go on." "Well when I got to the door Ulquiorra was standing there. He said he was protecting the door until I was ready to open it." Ichigo frowned. "The fact that he was there meant he had been there for a while…" Kisuke says mumbling to himself.

"He told me if the door was forced open then I could have a mental break down and I may not ever return for it…" Ichigo glared at Kisuke. "That means we can't force Jenna anymore…I wont risk it." Kisuke nodded. "Yeah, Yeah…" Jenna went on. "He agreed to open it and walk me through my past…" Jenna looked down as tears came to her eyes. "It wasn't easy. I had forgotten how bad it was before I met Ichigo.

I had forgotten how many times I had cried myself to sleep. I felt alone. It was scary but, one day something came to comfort me. It held me when I cried and It help me sleep. It was there when I would wake up from the pain caused by my parents. It was always there for me…" Jenna hugged herself. "So Ulquiorra was showing you your old memories of you two?" Jenna nodded. "I don't think Ulquiorra wants to hurt me. I don't quite understand it but, if I keep remembering things I might find out why he picked me. Why he left and why he is coming back now."

When Jenna said what she had to say she went back to sleep. Kisuke and the others left for the night. Rukia left to report what was told to her. Ichigo went to take a shower. So many things were happening in this past month. Jenna being pregnant, finding out the Grimmjow lost his own memories, Ulquiorra coming back, Shinji being a suspect for poisoning Jenna. He let the water wash over his face. What was he going to do? He thought about the memory he had recently uncovered. That meeting with Ulquiorra when he was younger. If Ulquiorra was really that same person that attacked him then what about the Ulquiorra now that was here in the present time.

Grimmjow had pointed out before he lost consciousness he remembers something about a traitor. Was he talking about himself or Ulquiorra? Ichigo turned the shower off and got out. He walked into the bedroom to see Jenna still sleeping. So far something he could finally say is that her life was spared for the moment. If Ulquiorra truly does care for Jenna, he wouldn't let her die. He sat down on the bed and rubbed her side. He promised that he would protect her and yet he keeps failing her.

If he would have listen to her in the first place Shinji wouldn't have gotten his hands on her. If he would have stopped to think things out before rushing out to find him Jenna wouldn't have been attack by the people she was talking about. They were most likely part of the visords. Ichigo groaned. "I can't do anything right…" He put his hands over his face.

The next morning Ichigo woke up to an empty bed. He sat up and yawned. He sniffed in the air. Something smelt good. After making the bed and washing his face he walked out to the kitchen. Jenna was cooking breakfast. There was already pancakes and sausages on the table. "It smells good in here." Jenna turned around and smiled. "You have been cooking a lot for me lately so I decided to cook for you this morning!" Ichigo wrapped his arms around her. Her hair smelled like strawberries. He chuckled. "I see your still like using the shampoo I gave you." Jenna blushed. "W-Well it smells nice I can't help but use it!" Ichigo laughed and hugged her tightly.

"The baby is growing…" Jenna smiled. "Yeah…" "I love you Jenna…I'll always be here to protect you." Jenna nodded. "Yes I know. You have done a good job of it to." Ichigo let go and went to sit at the table. "Don't kid. I've been doing a poor job of protecting you." Jenna placed a cup of juice in front of him and sat beside him. Ichigo placed his hand on the table. "I couldn't protect you for these last two months. It's because of me that you are in this. If I would have listen…" Ichigo looked pained. Jenna slid over and wrapped her arm around his and locked her fingers with his.

"I love you Ichigo…You may not see it but you have always protected me. I could understand your anger when I first told you I was pregnant. It was my fault for not telling you about it in the first place. When I was taken from you, I was told for that whole month you were out looking for me. It warmed my heart so much. You found me and brought me back so because of you I am still here today. I would say you protected me just fine. Ichigo looked down at Jenna and smiled. She always knew what to say to make him feel better. She looked up and they locked eyes. Ichigo leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "Ichigo?" He kissed her on the nose. Then on the cheek. Then on her ear. Then their lips meet. When he pulled back Jenna had a fluster look. He chuckled. "You're too cute for your own good."

As Jenna and Ichigo ate breakfast Ulquiorra was standing outside the window in his shadow form. He was wearing his cloth and his eyes were green. He placed his hand on the window. When he did the window cracked a little. He's eyes were locked on Ichigo but, then they switched to Jenna. Seeing her happy and smiling he turned around and slipped back into nothingness. Ichigo glanced at the window. The cracked left by Ulquiorra was visible enough for him to at least see it. He frowned. He couldn't let Ulquiorra have Jenna. Not today. Not in the future. Not ever.

Ulquiorra was lightly floating over the roof. There was no way he would let Ichigo take Jenna away from him again. He had already lost too much and Jenna was the only thing he could claim as his. It was because of Ichigo…all because of Ichigo. It was all Ichigo's fault. He's fault. Ulquiorra's cloth disappeared his eyes turned yellow and his hair grew longer. His body turned back into his shadowy figure. Two horns grew on his head. His usually calmed face frowned in anger. "I won't let anyone else have Jenna. She's mine!"
