After that attack, Ichigo and that monster were at a standoff, each one trying to gauge their opponent.
Ichigo: 'He's not attacking... Did my cut scare him ? Please, just run away. Fat chance of that..."
Looking around him, Ichigo spotted the motionless corpses on the ground.
Ichigo: 'Is that Tatsuki ? She was at the wrong place at the wrong time !'
Ichigo: 'And... There' someone else lying over there... Who... ?'

Ichigo: 'Orihime ?! But... She's standing behind me !'
Orihime: Hey ! I knew it ! It's you, Ichigo !!
The previous day:
Rukia: Why are you sulking like that ?
Ichigo: Why ? What choice do I have ! If anybody sees me dressed like this I'm history ! They'll haul me off to the movie village !
Rukia: Fool ! Do you think normal people can see a shinigami ? A shinigami is a spiritual entity ! You can only be seen by other spiritual entities !
"Then, how... can you see him ?"
Orihime: Huh ? Um... How ?
That's when we both noticed the chain going from her chest, to the other Orihime lying on the ground.
Hollow: Isn't it obvious ? She's a spirit ! I'm sorry but, Orihime is already dead !!
Taking advantage of our distraction, he bashed us both through the wall, and as Ichigo somehow skidded to a stop in midair, I fell directly to the ground, and Rukia's head, who was just waiting here.
Hollow: What's wrong ? You two talk tough but... You're both far too slow...
Hollow: Is it so shocking that Orihime's soul has been forced from her body ? Huh ?! Ichigo Kurosaki !!
He shot some sort of liquid from his mouth, liquid that burned Ichigo's hand once it hit, making him let go of his sword and lose focus, letting himself be wide-open for the next attack.
Next attack that slammed him to the ground, where he had trouble just to get up.
Y/n/Rukia(each one with a nice bump): ICHIGO !!
Orihime: Ichigo... Let me go ! Let me go ! Ichigo's...
Hollow: Orihime... Have you... really forgotten me ? It's me ! Orihime !!
