"Now go!"
Head Captain Yamamoto's hard voice echoed out from the Hell butterfly. Kenpachi had a wild smile cross his face, then looked to his love. Toshiko smiled the same and her Reiastu went up a bit. Yachiru positioned herself on Kenpachi shoulder.
"Let's go Ken-chan!" she exclaimed. Then, joined by Ikkaku and Yumichika, they set out, smiling happily. They were only fighting Hollows after all.
"Damn, there sure are a lot!" Ikkaku yelled out as he killed another Hollow. Kenpachi sliced through 10 more before landing on the ground. When they arrived the Hollow's numbers seemed overwhelming. But sure enough, Squad 11 reduced the numbers quickly, all while having a good time. Kenpachi cut through the last Hollow effortlessly. He landed and sighed.
"I wish it lasted longer. They were all weaklings, but it's still a good time." he murmured. He surveyed the surroundings. They were in a field right outside of Seireniti. It had been so urgent because the hollows kept coming and they were starting to take down the men and women outside who guarded.
The only sounds were a bird chirping, the sheathing of a sword and Ikkaku's lazy yawn. He was suddenly alerted by a gigantic jump in abnormal pressure. As he looked to try and find what was causing it he heard a shrill scream. A huge Hollow loomed over Yachiru, bellowing as it closed in.
"Yachiru!" he yelled, re-unsheathing his Zanpaktou. Then, Toshiko yelled out as she charged at the Hollow. As she tried to cut it's head, it grabbed her Zanpaktou in mid air. It growled and one of it's arms went out and struck her away. She screamed as she hit tree after tree and finally stopped when she crashed into a huge boulder.
Her body contorted with pain as blood splattered out of her mouth. The Hollow had picked up Yachiru and she was being shaken violently, hitting the path of whatever stood there. Kenpachi ran up and cut off its arm, catching Yachiru safely. Yumichika and Ikkaku finished off the monster. He brushed back her hair to see a large cut across her forehead.
"Ken-chan..." Yachiru muttered.
"Yachiru.." Kenpachi didn't know what to say to her.
"..help Shiko-chan..." she said before passing out. Kenpachi nodded and laid her down on the grass. Yumichika and Ikkaku came and stood by her. Kenpachi ran past the trees, following the path her flying body had made. He came upon her laying crumpled in front of the rock. Her body had indented it and it was nearly split in two. He kneeled down and picked her up. Blood trickled down the side of her mouth and she was barely breathing
"Toshiko.." Kenpachi was shaking with anger. He wanted to find that Hollow again and kill as many times he found needed. He suddenly heard her groan. He looked at her, worried.
"Kenpachi..." she whispered. Her eyes opened to slits and she put her hand up to his scarred cheek. He put his hand against hers.
"I'm sorry..." Her hand slid off his face and onto her stomach. Kenpachi bit his lip to hold in a roar of anger. He held her closer and ran back to the main field where Yachiru, Ikkaku and Yumichika were. Yumichika was pacing back and forth waiting for Kenpachi to come back. As he came into sight Yumichika looked up to him.
"Taicho, Ikkaku went to get Squad 4 members!" he called. Kenpachi nodded and brought Toshiko next to Yachiru. He laid her on the grass and then kneeled down. He looked to his love, then to his daughter.
I'm sorry... Yachiru... Toshiko...I'm so sorry...
