" Timelines collapsing. People not being born or saved. Using my powers to change the past is something I can't do. Only healing wounds or reversing lost limbs. " Orihime said. She still didn't know why her powers were suddenly getting stronger.

"so menial things that mean nothing to me." Kusaka replied when she told him about changing the past. "And I have been sensing your powers getting stronger, especially when Ichigo's sisters are in trouble," he said with a smirk.

" They are like my own little sisters. No one hurts them." Orihime said feeling angry.

"Then I would just have to make sure to personally see how they fight"

" The older sister has powers but the younger one doesn't. " Orihime said not using Karin or Yuzu's names. She didn't want Kusaka to have any advantage over the girls.

"You mean Karin and Yuzu," he said, seeing the look of surprise on Orihime's face. "I've done my homework on everyone here. Perhaps if you cooperate, I'll leave your precious Tatsuki-chan alone."

Orihime looked down knowing now she was stuck and hoped by now her friends were looking for her. She just hoped no one else she cared about would be captured like she had been.

"We're going to find her. Orihime is not going to be a causality of war," Tatsuki growled out.

" I agree with Tatsuki. We can't let Kusaka have her." Soji said and wished he knew what to do.

"Agreed," Ichigo said in understanding. He didn't know that Kusaka had threatened his sisters. If he had...

" Can we go after him or can't we do that again?' Ishida asked calmly trying not to show how angry he was feeling.

"He's hiding in Hueco Mundo somewhere, though where it is I have no clue," Soji responded.

" Could he be where Aizen was once?" Tetsu asked. " I have a feeling some of the Arrancars won't be happy that he as Orihime. Nel told me that most of them were working to get rid of Kusaka. " Tetsu said and hoped they could all go to rescue her.

"It's possible. I haven't kept up with Nel-chan lately," Ichigo admitted.

" We need to act fast. You guys have summer break now and I have some time I can take off , we just need permission. " Tetsu said hoping he could go since he wasn't comfortable with Hoshi or Katia going without him.

"I'm sure Nel-chan will give it, either Kisuke or I can call her," Ichigo replied, knowing that they wouldn't let Kusaka get away with kidnapping Orihime.

Tetsu nodded. " I do hope so. " He said fearing they wouldn't have help from the Shinigami.

"So do I," Tatsuki said.

" I'll talk to Kisuke and Nel about heading to Hueco Mundo and if we'll have help. " Tetsu said.

"Thanks Tetsu-san," Tatsuki replied, feeling a little better. Orihime was like a sister to her and well...before she could go off on that tangent, she felt an arm around her shoulders. Seeing that it was her boyfriend, she smiled lightly.

"Don't worry Ryu-chan, we'll get our princess back," he teased as a way to cheer her up.

" I'll call Kisuke tonight and meet with him tomorrow. We all do need our rest, since I fear this won't be the last time Kusaka strikes. " Tetsu said fearing Hoshi, Katia or Saya were next.

"I agree. Tetsu...if it is alright with you, I would like Hoshi-chan and Katia-chan to stay with us for the evening," Soji said. He didn't doubt the man's commitment to protecting his daughters, but thought it would be better for all three girls to be together.

" That would be best. " Tetsu said feeling Hoshi and Katia would be safe with Soji.

Saya grinned lightly, knowing that she would be having a sleepover with two of her friends. She just wished that it was because they wanted to have a sleepover, not because it was for their protection.

Hoshi gave a small smile that she would be able to stay with Saya but wished it was on happier terms as well. She was just worried that if she had a vision it would bother Saya or Soji.
