Hey everyone! This is the first 'edited' chapter of Untrusted. Every single chapter will be reread and edited to my liking. Some chapters will be combined to be further developed. I think its better to have longer, developed, chapters than short rushed ones. So this is it. Enjoy:D

Yumichika looked over the situation. Captain Hitsugaya had been knocked down. Ikkaku, Rangiku, and himself were caught by the eight rather disgusting arms of the Espada, Lupin. They were exhausted and injured, and basically being squeezed to death. Yes, it was an unbeautiful sight. Not to mention it hurt. A lot. He couldn't believe it. So this was it? After hundreds of years of toil to reach what he had today, this was finally the end? They were going to get squished to death? How utterly revolting.

Not if you do something about it.

Oh shut up. What would you know, anyway?

Of course, it was so typical. He was going to die, and he still had to listen to his zanpaktou whine about not being used.

Wait. His zanpaktou was right. Yumichika looked over the situation for the second time. Both Ikkaku and Rangiku were in great pain, as was he. The narcissist sighed. He didn't have a choice, did he?

If you don't stop fussing, both you and your little friends are going to die.

If he weren't wincing in pain, he would have yelled at the little twit, but as annoying as his zanpaktou was, he was right. If he didn't do something right now, they'd all die. Yumichika bit his lip. But…Ikkaku, Captain, the 11th squad…

Ikkaku is going to die, in, lets see, sixty seconds? Hurry the hell up and activate me!

"Shakkahō 31!" It worked. The sudden shot of fire had caught the Espada by surprise, and luckily enough damage for him to let go of his now barely conscious captives.

"You bastard! You're going to pay for that!"

Yumichika had to smirk. "Tsuriboshi 37!" "Tsuriboshi 37!" Ikkaku and Rangiku safely fell onto the two kido nets. He sighed in relief. Rubbing his sore neck, Yumichika admired his handy work. It had been a long time since he had used kido, after all. He was lucky he even remembered the spells, really.

"Do you really think you can take me down solo? We tried that, remember? Look where it got your friends!" Talk about cocky.

"Yu… Yumichika…"

Looking down, he turned his attention to Ikkaku, who was currently struggling to stay awake. His friend looked sick, but he was going to live.

"…r.. run"

Yumichika gave his friend a weak smile. "You don't need to protect me all the time, Ikkaku." he murmured softly.

Turning back to the Espada, Yumichika closed his eyes, right before whispering, "Ruri'iro Kujaku".

Was it all right? I thought it was better than my previous one, but I wouldn't know. Please review if you have any comments or feedback. Remember, only this chapter has been updated. You'll have to wait for the second chapter to be updated before you read on. Thank you!
