He sat on top of the large white dome and gazed out at the sky. He looked at the horizon, and then his gaze drifted down to the golden sands below. No matter where you looked, all you could see for miles was tan sand, and the occasional dead plant. Other than that, nothing. Nothing but dry dusty air. The man sat with one leg brought up, his foot resting on the edge of the building, with his other leg dangling over. He wore white pants, along with a long white jacket that split at his waist into two squared-off coat tails that stopped by his ankles. The jacket was unzipped to about mid-torso, and the right shoulder was near his bicep, exposing the shoulder of the black shirt he wore underneath the jacket. The man's face was expressionless, looking at at the vast sea of sand. He had light gray hair, with pale blue eyes. There was what looked like a pair of white goggles in his hair, with no lenses. At his side was a katana, with a black grip, as well as a black, x-shaped tsuba with the ends coming to rounded pints. It's sheath was black as well. He blinked the sand out of his eyes and listened as he heard someone approaching him. He glanced over his shoulder to see a female walking towards him. She wore a white jacket, that had no collar, showing her shoulders. The jacket was held in front by a single button that was located at her cleavage. She wore a black tube top that exposed her midriff. She also had on a black mini skirt, along with thigh high white heeled boots. The top of her sleeves came to a point at the tip of her middle finger, with the bottoms stopping at her wrists. She had light pink hair that would have gone to about her mid-back, if it weren't pulled into a ponytail. She had gold eyes. She had a white line above and below both of her eyes, along with what looked like two small, white combs in her hair. She too had a sword. She wore at her side. The sword looked like a wakizashi, with the blade being about eighteen inches long. The sheath was white, along with a white grip and tsuba in the shape of a 't' that came to points at the end. She sat down beside him and sighed.
"I know, but don't worry, we'll be out of here soon. I guarantee it." the boy said turning to her.
"Brother, do you really think we can? I mean, we've been planning for months, but do you think we can actually escape him?" the girl asked, pulling her knees to her chest.
"Yes sister, I do. You see, I know of someone who can help us. In the world of the living, the former head of research and development lives in a small shop in Karakura Town. I'm sure he can help us. He created that damned Hogyoku I'm sure he can do something! He has too." the boy looked away. He slammed his fist on the roof and stood up. "Come Ayame, we need to get going."
"But Nagato, we can't right now! I mean, with all these meetings, and then everyone's wandering around, we'd be caught for sure!" she shouted.
"Which is why we do it now, while they are in the meeting, and no one knows where we are." Nagato held his arm out and snapped. A small rip in reality was created. Garganta had been opened. "If we leave now, theres no way we can be caught!" He reached out towards her. She hesitated.
"Nagato, I don't know..." Ayame said, putting her hand to her lips. She looked at him and then looked away.
"Come on Ayame! We can do this! So long as we have each other we will always press on! We will always conquer everything! We will prevail!" Nagato shouted. She looked up, hope in her eyes. She smiled then grabbed his hand. He pulled her up and the two went into Garganta. The swirling energy solidfied when they stepped in, forming a solid path before them. They began to walk.
"Thank you, Brother." Ayame said quietly, and sweetly.
"Think nothing of it. Now, once we get to the world of the living, we need to find Kisuke Urahara as fast as possible." Nagato continued to walk. "I hear he lives in a small town called Karakura. According to what I learned, if he helps us, he has the power, with repeated sessions, to completely convert us into Shinigami, or at least Vizard." Nagato explained.
"So in other words..." Ayame began.
"We can finally rid ourselves of this useless hollow behavior. We can be free." Nagato said looking calmer than before. "Come on. If we hurry, we might be able to get to the world of the living quicker!" Nagato began to run. Ayame quickly followed him. Garganta began to open into the sky. He looked out and at the town below them. He saw a small girl in pigtails and a pink and white striped shirt standing next to a light post. He went to her and asked. "Excuse me miss, what is the name of this town?" Nagato asked. Ayame landed next to him. The girl hesitated.
"Um, are you going to hurt me?" the girl asked, stepping back.
"No, not at all." Ayame smiled at her. It was a kind, sisterly smile. The girl looked at Ayame, and smiled too, a small sparkle in her eyes.
"The town? Oh, this is Karakura Town." the girl said happily.
"Thanks little one." Nagato said, ruffling her hair. She laughed lightly, than skipped down the sidewalk, disappearing in the process. "Alright, so it's the right town, but where's that damned shop?" Nagato looked around. Ayame's gaze shot to her left, her eyes narrowing. "Something wrong?" she quickly grabbed the hilt of her sword.
"There's a hollow nearby, a big one by the feel of it." She said running off. Nagato followed her.
"Is it an Arrancar?" Nagato asked. He jumped up the next building running after Ayame.
"I don't think so. But it's strong, an Adjuchas, almost a Vasto Lorde." Ayame's eyes widened.
"What is it?" Nagato nearly shouted.
"I sense another hollow! The strong one! It's devouring another hollow!" Ayame shouted, running faster. Nagato too ran faster. The two came onto a scene of a large gray hollow devouring a smaller pale green one. The green one had been eaten and the gray one began to change. "We're to late!" Nagato and Ayame pulled their swords from their sheaths. The hollow transformed completely. It was a lot smaller than it had been. It's mask was vaguely human with large white horns that extended behind the head. It had sharp jagged teeth, along with red lines going down from the top of the skull. The body was still the same color. The body was more human shaped, with sharp nails and long fingers. It had black hair flowing down form the back of the mask to its waist.
"Are you...my next meal?" the hollow asked. It was rare to see a Vasto Lorde outside of the darkest depths of Hueco Mundo, so seeing a transformation into one was very odd. "You seem rather strong. Are you Vasto Lorde?"
"No." was Nagato's quick answer. "We're Arrancar."
"And we've come to eliminate you." Ayame added.
"Eliminate me? Shouldn't we be fighting together, besides, I'm just as strong as you, can you defeat me?" the hollow asked, in an almost smug tone.
"We can beat you with out having to use Resurreccion." Nagato said, returning the smug tone. The hollow seemed to be getting angry.
"You dare underestimate me?!" the hollow shot a cero from it's hand. Nagato simply slashed upwards, seperating the cero, and decipating it. The hollow shot several more at them, only to have them despelled before they could cause harm.
"Those were rather impresive. Can I show you mine?" Ayame asked. She pointed two of her fingers at the hollow and a pink ball concentrated at her fingers. The ball shot out and hit the hollow. The smoke cleared and the hollow had lost an arm. "Aww, my aim was off." she complained.
"Then I'll do it." Nagato held his sword out, pointing at the hollow. A red ball formed at the tip. He slowly drew the sword to one side, and swung in front of him, as if cutting something. The red flew forward in a small arc, and sliced the hollow's torso. Blood sprayed from it's body. Nagato frowned. "Apparently we are underestimating him." Nagato pulled his sword back.
"I'll kill you!" the hollow began shooting more cero at them. The two either dodged or sliced them in half.
"I'll use it." she said calmly. She took the tip of her blade and cut her hand. She held her hand up and began charging her cero. "Gran Rey-" the cero began glowing a bright white. "Cero!" she shouted. The cero exploded from her hand and collided with the hollow. The hollow fell to the ground, almost completely burnt up.
"How could I have lost?" it asked.
"Simple. We underestimated you, and you underestimated us." Nagato explained.
"You see, the difference between you and us, is we have a mind of our own, all you think about is your next meal. That blind hunger is what caused your downfall." Ayame continued. The hollow's head collapsed to the ground. The body disipated. The two put their swords back in their sheaths. "Someone else is coming." Ayame said turning in the opposite direction. Nagato looked, noticing the fluctuating spirit pressure. They both stood and waitied. Soon a boy in Shinigami garb with a large sword on his back appeared. The boy's eyes were brown with his hair being a vibrant orange. He took the large cleaver from his back, the cloth falling revealing the large black sword.
"Are you hollows?" he asked.
"Who wants to know?" Nagato asked calmly.
"I do. Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki." the boy responded.
"Substitute? So you say you aren't aligned with the Soul Society?" Nagato asked.
"Heh, you'd think I would be, and yet next to no one there likes me." the boy said placing the blunt end of the sword on his shoulder. "But I guess that's off topic. I asked you, are you hollows?" Ichigo pointed the blade's tip at them again. Nagato's hand went to his sword's grip. Ayame put her hand on his and looked into his eyes. Her look was intense yet calming. Nagato relaxed and moved his hand away.
"No, we aren't. We are simply people looking for someone. If you are a shinigami, substitute or not, you should know of him. His name is Kisuke Urahara." Ayame said calmly, looking at him. Ichigo cocked an eyebrow.
"What in hell do you want with hat and clogs? He's pretty useless now." Ichigo said confused.
"We just need to find him, that's all. We need to talk to him about something." Nagato said in a cool, stern voice.
"Well, the Urahara Shop is on the other side of town. If you wanna get there soon, you'll need to run." Ichigo said looking off to his left.
"Come on Ayame!" Nagato shouted, jumping off. A small static sound was heard.
"Wait! Nagato!" Ayame went to grab his arm, but just missed him. "Dammit all. Thank you Shinigami." Ayame bowed and jumped away. Another small static sound was heard.
"What the? Sonido?! Hey get back here!" Ichigo shouted going after them. Ayame turned and saw the boy coming after them.
"Brother, he's coming back!" she shouted. Nagato turned and glared at him.
"I didn't want to hurt you, but stay out of our way!" Nagato quickly pulled out his sword and slashed at Ichigo. A red arc shot out at him. Ichigo dodged it quickly. "Damn." Nagato held up his fist, and it began to glow a dark red color. He thrusted it forward as several bullets flew from his hand at Ichigo, going faster than the cero had.
"Can't dodge. Damn!" the blasts connected, sending Ichigo to the ground.
"Heh, guess he couldn't keep dodging. We need to get there faster! Step it up Ayame!" he shouted over his shoulder. Ayame huffed at him and ran faster. After a few minutes they arrived outside a building with ta sign that read 'Urahara Shop.' "This must be it." Nagato took a step forward. He lifted his hand and felt a glass like barrier. "Hmm, Kyomon. It's strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. Someone knew we were coming." he tapped it with his fist, like it were a door.
"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado 31! Shakkaho!" Nagato and Ayame turned towards the door as a red light shot out of it. The two jumped out of the way as the barrier shattered and the orb exploded. The two Arrancar landed and looked at the door. A large man walked out in rectangular glasses, a white shirt, and a dark blue apron. He had dark skin and dark hair that was in dredlocks and pulled back. "What is it you want here?" the man asked. Nagato smirked.
"So, it was true." he said, a sly grin gracing his face.
"What was?"
"The former captain of the Kido Corps. is here." Nagato said narrowing his eyes. The man was taken back by his comment. "Judging from your reaction I'm assuming I'm correct. You are indeed former captain of the Kido Corps., Tessai Tsukabishi." Nagato pulled his sword from it's sheath, and pointed it at him.
"You know of me and yet you still wish to fight? Carriage of Thunder. Bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo 61! Rikujokoro!" Tessai shouted. Beams of light began to form around Nagato.
"Heh, not so fast." Nagato closed his eyes and held up his arm. "Bakudo 73. Tozansho." he said calmly. The beams shot at him, only to be stopped by a strange pyramid shaped barrier.
"Kido?! But how?!" Tessai shouted in surprise.
"Because, we might have dominent hollow reiatsu, but we still have hybrid reiatsu, allowing us access to Shinigami powers as well as hollow powers. Like kido for example." Ayame explained. "Like this." she held up her hand as a yellow energy began to form. "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hado 63! Raikoho!" a large wave of yellow energy shot from her hand. Tessai quickly held up his hand, his palm facing her.
"Bakudo 81! Danku!" a large rectangle formed before him, blocking the energy blast. "It seems you can form very potent spells even without incantations. But since you aren't true shinigami, they move slower than normal." Tessai explained. "I ask again, do you want to fight me even though you know who I am."
"Yeah I do!" Nagato held his fist back as dark red enrgy formed on it.
"Bala?!"
"Brother enough!" Ayame grabbed his arm and threw it downward. "I know we have to defend ourselves, but we came here for a reason! I'm sorry for attacking you, but we need to see someone. I believe him to be your employer, Kisuke Urahara." Ayame explained looking at Tessai.
"You wish to see Mr. Urahara? Are you here to harm him? Or turn him in to the Central 46?" Tessai asked relaxing a bit.
"Not at all. We need his help." Ayame took a few steps towards him. "We need to speak with him. We need to know about his research, and see if it can help. I believe you've heard of the Hogyoku." Tessai's eyes widened.
"How do you know of that?! Who are you and what do you want with Mr. Urahara?!" Tessai held up his hand again.
"My name is Nagato Fujimoto. And this is my sister, Ayame Hayashi. We are here to talk to Kisuke Urahara as simple people, nothing more." Nagato explained.
"No you aren't. You are probably arrancar sent here by Aizen to kill Kisuke. Or retrieve him to revive the Hogyoku." Tessai slammed his hand on the ground "Hado 11! Tsuzuri Raidon!" he shouted. Lightning danced across the ground. It connected with the two and shocked them. Both shouted in pain. Nagato collapsed. Ayame looked at him.
"Na...gato." she said weakly. She too collapsed and embraced unconsciousness.
Nagato slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a dark room. He went to move but found himself unable to do so. He looked to his left and saw both his zanpakto and Ayame's. He looked down and saw his body covered in black fabric. He looked over his shoulder and saw Ayame's pink hair. He looked at her arms and noticed they were covered in metal bindings.
"Comfortable sir?" he heard a voice. He looked to his right and saw a man in green standiing in the doorway. He had on a striped hat that obscured his eyes, and he held a small fan in one hand, and a cane in the other. Nagato tried breaking free again. "I'm afraid you can't break free, you see thats-"
"Bakudo 91, Kin. I know what it is. My question is why is it being used on me?" Nagato glared at the man.
"You see, I might have been a rather trusting man before, but I'm not so gulible anymore. I'm not the same person I was back then." he fanned himself as he sat next to Nagato. Nagato looked back at Ayame and noticed she was still out cold.
"Kisuke Urahara I presume." Nagato said glaring at him again. Kisuke smiled and nodded. "Then you should know why I'm here."
"You claim to be needing my assisstance. But we can't be to careful can we?" Kisuke said tilting his hat back revealing his eyes.
"I suppose not." Nagato continued his glare. Kisuke looked him into his eyes. He looked up and down his face then turned his attention to the goggles on his head.
"These goggles, these are whats left of your hollow mask, aren't they?" Kisuke asked, running his fingers around the rim. Nagato shook his head, attempting to shoe away the hands. "And the lines on her face are hers?"
"You are right on mine, hers, not as much." Nagato looked away.
"Oh?"
"Her hair. Their in her hair." Nagato said quietly. Kisuke lifted a small bit of her hair, revealing the small comb of hollow teeth in her hair.
"So they are. So, tell me, what's your story?" Kisuke said happily.
"What do you mean my story?" Nagato asked, flinging his head in Kisuke's direction.
"Why can you use more advance Shinigami powers, where other Arrancar can't? How did you come into being? Why did you come into being I suppose is a better question." Kisuke fanned himself again.
"Mr. Urahara?" said a small voice outside the room.
"What is it Ururu?" he said, turning. The door slid open and a small girl stood in it's doorway. She had dark hair pulled into pigtails. Her eyes were a grayish-violet color. She looked rather meloncholic.
"Um, that orange headed boy is here with Miss Rukia." she said quietly, looking at the ground.
"Ah. I see. I'll speak with you later Nagato Fujimoto. I hope your sister wakes up soon." Kisuke stood and walked out of the room. Ururu closed the door, leaving him alone.
"Ayame? Ayame! Wake up!" he shouted quietly. Her eyes began to open. She strained to see in the light.
"Na-Nagato? That you? What's wrong? Why can't I move?" Ayame said, trying to stand up.
"It's Bakudo. We're stuck here unless we can break free. I have an idea. Use Tozansho to protect yourself. I'm going to use Hakufuku. If I do this right, I'll be able to get us both free."
"Alright brother. Bakudo 73, Tozansho." Ayame concentrated, and the energy barrier formed around her. NAgato closed his eyes and began to concentrate. A white energy radiated from the metal bindings on his arms.
"Haku..." he began to say. The energy grew larger, "...fuku." The energy broke the bindings, and his arms were free. He grabbed his sword and slashed at the fabric. It shredded. "Alright, Ayame, release the barrier, I'll get you out." Ayame nodded. The pyramid vanished. He slashed at her, the red arc cut the fabric. "Turn." Ayame stood and turned. He pointe dhis fingers at the bindings. "Hado 4, Byakurai." A light shot from his fingers and broke the bindings.
"Thank you brother. Shall we get what we came for?" Ayame picke dup her sword and put it back on her side. Nagato nodded, putting his sword back at his side. They hrew open the door and saw no one. They went to the next door and listened.
"I'm telling you! They are trying to kill us!" shouted a familiar voice. It was Ichigo.
"Relax Ichigo, they aren't going to hurt us. If they were going to kill me they would've. Do you honestly think a Kido performed by me without an incantation couldn't be broken? Even if it is level 99, with my poor skill and no incantation, it wouldn't have lasted." Kisuke explained.
"Ichigo, thats not why I'm here." said a new voice. Maybe this Rukia they mentioned.
"What?! Then what is?!" Ichigo shouted.
"Captain Ukitake said that Head-Captain Yamamoto told him to ask me to get former Captains Urahara, Shihoin, and Tsukabishi to come to the Seireitei." she said calmly. Nagato and Ayame gasped quietly as their eyes widened.
"It's about time you two got out. come in." said another female voice. The two stood up quickly and slid open the door. The two bowed and apoligised. "Damn, your like teenagers, only worse." said the voice. The two looked up and saw a woman in an orange sweater and tan arm and leg coverings. She had violet hair pulled up into a ponytail, held by a thin red string. Her gold eyes looked bored and annoyed by their prescence.
"Hey! I'm a teenager you stupid cat!" Ichigo shouted.
"Relax Ichigo! Just stop shouting, and listen to Rukia." the violet haired woman glared at Ichigo.
"Thank you Yoruichi." Rukia said nodding at her. "As I was saying. The Seireitei want's the three of you to come back, apparently we need your help with some matter." Rukia continued, taking a sip of tea.
"We're fugitives Rukia, we can' go back." Yoruichi continued. She looked at the two Arrancar. "Sit." the two lookedat her and saw she was speaking to them. The two took a seat next to Urahara. "Anyway, they've all gotten along without us in the past, why do they need us now?"
"I don't know, but the order is from Head-Captain Yamamoto. He said he needs you." Rukia said again.
"We'll go." Kisuke said calmly.
"Kisuke, you sure?" Youruichi asked. He nodded.
"Yamamoto doesn't hold us in contempt for what we did. He doens't hate us, if he did he would've sent someone to capture us by now. He's known where we hiding for centuries." Kisuke picke dup his fan.
"Alright. Rukia, do we have to go through the Dangai or do you have a Hell Butterfly?" Yoruichi asked standing.
"I came with a Hell Butterfly. I was also asked to bring Ichigo with." Rukia stood, a small black butterfly fluttering by her shoulder. Ichigo stood and nodded. She unsheathed her sword and pointed it in fornt of her. A large sliding wooden door appeared. She turned her sword like it were a key, and the door opened. The small group or people stood standing still.
"Hold on folks!" Kisuke announced. He took his cane and poked Yoruichi's head with it. Her normal body fell, leaving her soul standing up right. Yoruichi leaned torwards Rukia, who handed her a red glove with a skull emblem on it.
"Your turn!" she shouted, slamming her palm into his forhead. His body fell and he stumbled a bit.
"That hurt!" he complained.
"Get over it." she tossed the glove back to Rukia, who caught it. The small group began walking into the door.
"Wait a minute!" Nagato shouted, standing. The group turned to him. "Either help us or we will hurt you and burn this place down!" he shouted, charging a bala blast.
"Nagato-" Ayame was cut off.
"No sister! We came for something and we will get it!" He shouted. He held his fist back when something hit him. He looked to see his wrist had been grabbed by Yoruichi. "How in hell?" he said in astonishment.
"Hanki. I hit you with a counter hit of spiritual energy, in both rotation and on the opposite end of the power spectrum." she said calmly.
"Damned woman, You used shinigami reiatsu to counter hollow reiatsu. Clever bitch." Nagato glared at her. He jumped away from her. He gripped the hilt of his sword and pulled it from it's sheath. "I didn't want to have to use my Zanpakto, but if I have to..." Nagato pointed his sword down, with the blade facing his body.
"No Nagato!" Ayame shouted, "If you do they'll find us and you could hurt yourself! You know how stressfull it is for you to use it!" Ayame wrapped her arms around his shoulders, tears going down her face. "We've made it this far, don't screw it up now please." Tears began to fall down her face. "You said it yourself, we can do anything so long as we're together. You don't need to try and prove that your worthy. I know you are. If he doens't help, we can always find a way, I know we can." The four people watched as Nagato slowly calmed and put his Zanpakto away.
"I'm sorry I scared you Ayame." Nagato said quietly. "I didn't mean to." She said she knew he didn't. "I'm still sorry though." Ayame slowly nodded. Her tears continued. "I'm sorry we caused you any trouble. Mr. Urahara, if you can help us, please let us explain ourselves, if not, then please say so, so we can leave and stop causing you any trouble." there was a long silence.
"Rukia, Ichigo." Kisuke said calmly, seriously. The two teens looked at him and asked what he wanted. "Go on ahead without us. Tell the Head-Captain that we couldn't come with, but we will help. Alright? I need to stay and talk with our new qcquintances." Kisuke still sounded serious. Nagato and ayame looked at him with soft smiles.
"Urahara," Ichigo began, "you sure it's okay to trust them. They attacked me after all. Not to mention they took down a powerful hollow within a minute. They just don't look like they can be trusted is all I'm saying." Ichigo said, glancing at the two every few words. Nagato clenched his fists.
"Relax Brother." Ayame said quietly. He looked at her then did so, and let his arms fall be his sides. "I understand your concern. We don't look trustworthy. As a show that we won't hurt you, here." Ayame took her Zanpakto from her side and held the sheath at it's center. She streched her arm out, holding her sword before her. "Take it. I can't hurt you without it." she set it on the ground before them. Ichigo looked at bit stunned. There was another long pause.
"Come on Ichigo." Rukia said, begining to walk through. "They've proven they meant us no harm. We need to find out what's so big that the Head-Captain wants a fugitives help." Rukia began to walk through again. Ichigo looked back, then walked into the gate.
"So, tell me, what is it you want from me?" Kisuke sat back down, telling them to do the same. Nagato spoke.
"We want our freedom." he said strognly.
"From Aizen?" Kisuke asked.
"From Aizen, from HJueco Mundo, from it all. We want our own lives." Nagato said looking away. "Thats why we're here. We need your help. We know you made the Hogyoku, and we want you to find some way for us to either change us into Shinigami or back into Hollows and purify us, so we can finally be free."
"No." was Kisuke's quick response.
"What do you mean no!? You Shinigami are all the same! You say you help the souls who need it, yet when one comes to you for help you turn them away! It's because we aren't normal souls isn't it! It's because we're half hollow! First you did this shit to th eVizard and now us!" Nagato ranted. Kisuke shot thme a glare and stood.
"Don't say the Vizard weren't helped. The Vizard were my friends, I did all I could to help them. They chose to hate Shinigami, they weren't forced to. The reason I'm not helping you is because I can't! At least not without my lab and the right materials to create another Hogyoku." Kisuke sounded somewhat angry. He glared at the two sitting near him.
"Then why didn't you go back with them to the Seireitei? The Science Department is still up, you could create another one." Nagato said in a pleading tone.
"I'll need to think about it. In the mean time, you two can't be bothering me, so-" Kisuke stood up. "Tessaaaaaai!" Kisuke chimed.
"What are you doing?" Ayame asked standing and taking a few steps back. Soon the large man was standing in the doorway.
"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudo 9! Geki!" Tessai shouted. A red light engullfed the two.
"Damn! Paralyzer!" Nagato shouted. He stiffened, unable to move.
"Bakudo 30! Shitotsu Sansen!" Tessai shouted. Three spikes poinned the two in place.
"Damn...you..." Nagato said through gritted teeth.
"Brother...relax, we...can do this." Aymae said, trying to sound calm. Kisuke stood in front of Ayame and Tessai stood in front of Nagato. They both pointed at the people in fornt of them.
"Hado 1, Sho." they both said calmly. The two Arrancar shot back through the door and into the room they were previously in. They stumbled and toppled to the floor.
"Bastards" Ayame huffed.
"We can wait." Nagato said quietly. The two then lay on the ground in silence.
