  <title>Thats it.</title>
  <link>http://bleachednarutar.livejournal.com/1820.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;just wanna say im an idiot when it comes to expressing myself. but i have a brilliant mind. you dont even know. im sick and tired and i hate being treated like im a joke. this is all brought on by a stupid little bit of criticism for a fanfic i wrote, i wanted the criticism. because i wanted to get a bit better. but seeing how much needed to be improved, and how much more expressive...and smart that person was made me realize how much ive been laughed at when i try to make an opinion. by my own family and friends, and complete strangers. how people looked down at me when how often i didnt know how to do something, and how often i had to be told. How, when i was little everyone praised me for being able to get my work done fast and i knew bigger words than most people. but now im noticing my peers moving ahead of me, and im being left behind. How when i watch a TV show and see someone talkin to a littler kid than me and they say something like, &quot;okay, you know what i mean of course. they say yes. but i dont know. im out with my friends and i meet someone new, i say something, and my friggin best friend is like: &quot;AHA sorry about robyn shes a little slow....&quot; my own mother looks down on me sometimes. im below the standard of society, and when your below someone, there opt to look down on you. most of my problem is i can figure things out quick. i need more time. basicly, im slow. and i dont even know many of the words used on this mood thing, so i cant properly express what im feeling.well im sick and tired of being looked down on. so why the hell am i whining on an internet journal....? i gotta self improve myself. im gonna become intelligent, actually DO my homework, learn to think quick, learn to express myself. tho im still gonna be loud and outspoken, and friendly.but im going to self-improve myself until im higher than the standards of society. although that wont mean im better than anybody. we are all immensly smart. some people are smart in expressing themselves, some are smart in their deep thoughts, like me. but if you are only the latter your looked down upon. i wont be anymore. ill get respect. you&apos;ll see. nobodys gonna turn away from me laughing or get tired of my idiocy anymore. just you see. but most of you wont be able to see, since your strangers on the internet...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

They failed in their attempt to get Orihime back, and were informed that Aizen has found a way to transfer Orihime’s healing powers from her to him. And they know it will take a period of two weeks, after which he will kill the then useless Orihime. When coming back the troop rest at Urahara’s shop to heal their wounds and try to think of a plan of action, but they see no way. So after one and a half weeks, Ichigo decides he must go himself one late night. He heads for a secret portal to Heuco Mundo they opened permanently in the park. And so begins the end….&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Part 1 &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;It was late. Dark reigned over Urahara’s shop. Darker thoughts were easy to creep up in one’s mind in the near silence, all of which you could hear was the light rain thrumming the roof and pouring down the windows.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Rukia tossed in her fevered sleep. She and the rest all had the frightening knowledge that orihime was going to be put to death by the hands of Aizen soon, and they had no plan.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Next to her a more peacefully sleeping Renji broke through her sleep with a sudden loud snore. Glaring at him, she almost threw her pillow right on his red, tattooed head but then she started feeling thankful after remembering her nightmare.
