I think Rukia and Inoue are useless on the battle-field before their strength is ridicule if compared to the Espada or the Vaizards. Their function is to be an "emotional trigger" for Ichigo: it has been clearly shown in the Ichigo vs Grimmjaw fight. Until Inoue was scared about Ichigo he was losing, after she gained new trust in him and shown that to him Ichigo started winning again.
I think Ichigo's nakama are the true keys to unseal Ichigo's true potential, a potential which surpasses Aizen too (at the end Ichigo will win somehow, that's a given).
