[Rue's POV]

I waited patiently as Agito thought thoroughly. I know it's not exactly smart asking help from two of the most hotheaded students at the Academy for help but I don't want to be left behind by my own twin sister and one of my best friends. Agito's eyes opened before asking, "Why are you a Shinigami?" I was surprised to say the least.

"I want to heal. I want to support those who protect others." Agito smiled before unsheathing her zanpuktou and raising it above her head. Her reiatsu rose like a bonfire and it's a good thing we're at our usual training area where we can summon hollows cause at the rate Agito is going, a hollow will be summoned. Finally, an echoing scream rang through the forest before a hollow jumped into the clearing. This hollow was like a purple colored grasshopper. When the hollow appeared, Agito swung down but she didn't hit the hollow. Instead, she hurt herself.

"Agito!" I screamed in shock. Agito's left arm was sliced from her palm all the way up to her elbow. Blood bled like a river through her fingers. The wound was deep by the looks of it. Byakuya clearly didn't expect that. Agito grinned at me but I could see the pain in her eyes and her forehead was forming a very thin layer of sweat.

"You are to heal me under the pressure that Byakuya can't fight against that hollow," she stated through gritted teeth.

"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Byakuya and I both yelled at her. She just cackled humorlessly as she kneeled down from blood loss. I ran over to her in a hurry since the hollow cried out again, preparing its back muscles to launch forward. The hollow rocketed forward and I could only push Agito back. The hollow disappeared back into the forest, fear clung to me like a leech. If the hollow isn't seen by me or any of us for that matter, it's at it's most dangerous. I looked down at Agito's arm to find a puddle of blood already forming beneath her.

"Come on Agito! I can't help you if we're out here! Please stand up!" I begged as I ripped my uniform and tried to bandage it up as best as I can. No use, the blood just soaked through in a matter of seconds, not even giving my healing hands a chance to stop the bleeding. I can't do anything. I haven't learned any healing kido that can stop the bleeding at this fast rate. I can't even fight against a hollow without my zanpuktou!

'You called?'

Before I could even understand what was happening, I was falling backwards into my Inner World.
