Before I get another question about why Brielle is a Vasto Lorde when she looks like she would be a small adjuchas, well, let me explain that. Brielle is Ichigo's soul sibling. Now some - or most - of you don't know what that is, but you can find out in my other fanfic 'Could Thing Get Any Worse!' chapters 11 and 12. But you could wait for when I put that info up on my profile so you don't have to do that, but it will be awhile. Since Brielle is Ichigo's soul sibling, she has the same powers as Ichigo, but in this story, her hollow powers are more dominant.

I hope this helps! ^-^

While Renji was staring at Brielle with a horrified face, Ichigo grabbed both of his fallen Zanpakutos. He stood up and turned to face the dragon Vasto Lorde.

"Brielle, I know what you want to do, but you can't. I know you want to kill the pineapple head right now for hurting and mocking me, but we didn't come here to kill anyone, we came here to save Rukia from being sent back to the Soul Society to be killed," Ichigo said with a commanding tone. Brielle looked to her brother.

"I'm only mad about him hurting you. Besides, he's the idiot for not looking at his surrounding better; he didn't even know that I was right above his head when he was on the wall when he dodged your attack the moment we got here," Brielle said with a smirk.

Renji's eyes went wide at hearing that. "You were above me?!" He shouted.

Brielle pointed to the tree that she was in with her tail. "Yes, I was there the entire time, and you didn't even know it. Oh, I wish I had a camera, the look on you face is priceless." The Vasto Lorde was giggling a bit. "By the way, shouldn't you be asking about how Ichigo knows me, why I'm here, or why do I care for what happens to a 'lowly human'?" Brielle was enjoying her time with mocking the Shinigamis' beliefs on Hollows.

The way the black dragon said 'lowly human' made it sound like that Ichigo wasn't really a human to begin with, the two Shinigami want to know why that was, but with Renji's hot headedness, he really didn't care, and attacked Brielle for mocking him.

Brielle dodged easily, going to the left of him and kept turning until her tail slammed into the red head's back and sent him flying into the wall. When the dust cleared, Renji could be seen embedded into the wall. Renji pushed himself out and turned back to the Vasto Lorde. Everybody can see that the thing that was on his forehead is no longer there, and that there is a bit of blood in its place. The red pineapple head couldn't hold his balance and fell onto his knee.

"Brielle, this was my fight." Brielle looked over to find that Ichigo was standing by the railing.

"Yeah, but you looked like you needed help. You were getting your butt kicked speed-wise; good thing Zangetsu is two blades," Brielle teased playfully at Ichigo. Even in a bad situation like this, Brielle will find a way to have a little fun. Ichigo just shook his head at what she said.

Brielle's smile that she had on her face when teasing Ichigo fell off when she got a really bad feeling. She looked over in Byakuya's direction just in time to see him shunpo toward Ichigo with his sword out.

"Ichigo, get out of the way!" Brielle shouted, trying to get to him before the raven haired Shinigami does.

Ichigo didn't have time to react. The only thing he could do was close his eyes and wait for the blow, but it never came. Ichigo opened his eyes only to see a very wide eyed Byakuya, and a very white Hollow with horns. Ichigo was looking up into the sky like he was thanking god.

"Jeez King, I leave ya for two months and look what happens, me savin' ya from a Shinigami. That's just pathetic. Are you sure you can handle me as your Zanpakuto, because by the way ya got your butt kicked, I don't think so." Ichigo glared at Shiro, he knows that there is a smirk behind that mask.

"Oh, shut up, Shiro! I did a god darn good job for my first time fighting a Shinigami! I just need some training, that's all. I'm capable of handling you and the old man, and you know it," Ichigo growled at his Hollow Zanpakuto.

Shiro turned to look at him. "Calm down, King, I'm just teasin' ya," He said with a smirk still on his face - even though no one can see it, you can just feel it. Shiro looks around to see who else is there. He saw Renji looking like he was going to die knowing that there are two Vasto Lordes now, Rukia - not ever seeing him before - is looking like she seen a demon, which Shiro thinks that she might not be too far off from, and Brielle must have been working on her balance since he was away, because she was in a stopped time running pose. The white Hollow laughed insanely.

This snapped the three Shinigami and Brielle out of their shock. The Shinigami felt the power coming off of this Hollow from it just laughing. They know if they fought it the way they were now, they would lose, especially when there are two of them.

Shiro slowly stopped laughing and looked back at Brielle. "How in the Hollow King's name, did you do that? You looked like a statue," He told her.

The dragon gave him an unamused look. "Oh, shut up. I didn't know you were going to come back in the most ironic time in the world." Brielle muttered something that sounded like 'attention hog' after she was done talking.

Shiro just smirked at her, but then saw that she was doing a turnaround motion. He looked to see that Byakuya was about to fire a kido at him. He grabbed Ichigo and moved. The kido missed, almost hitting Brielle, but she shot a little fire ball at it, causing it to explode.

Byakuya shunpoed to Rukia, and Renji got ready to open a senkaimon.

"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted, trying to get to her, but he was being held back by Shiro. "Let me go, Shiro! You can't let them take her, she'll be killed!" The orange haired teen was struggling in his Hollow Zanpakuto's grip, but was failing miserably.

Brielle came up to them. "Ichigo, if we let you go, you would get hurt more, and we don't want that, and we can't do anything without killing them. You're going to have to let them go." Brielle tried to reason.

Ichigo opened his mouth to say something, but Rukia cut him off, "Ichigo, just stop!" The two Hollows and Ichigo looked to her. "I'm going, and there nothing you can do to stop me." She turned to her brother. "Let's go, I'll take whatever punishment they give me."

Byakuya looked from his sister to glaring at the two Hollows and Ichigo. "You allied yourself with Hollows, this means that you are an enemy to the Soul Society, and that Rukia's punishment will be far worse. I should kill you now, but those two are Vasto Lordes and could kill me and Lieutenant Abarai in our current state. Be grateful that we are retreating back to the Soul Society for now, but when everything is over with, I'll kill you and the Hollows myself," The raven haired Shinigami said in a monotone voice, but Brielle and Shiro were able to hear the anger in it.

Ichigo was about shout, but Shiro knocked him out. Brielle looked to Rukia knowing she was going to say something to her.

"Brielle, tell Ichigo to not come after me, if he does, I'll never forgive him," The black haired Shinigami said.

Brielle shook her head. "You know full well that no one can stop him," She replied. The dragon can see Renji glaring at her and her two brothers, but he didn't say anything.

Shiro flicked his gold piercing eyes at Byakuya. "If you even harm King, let alone touch him, I'll rip you apart limb from limb," He hissed, and then turned his eyes to Renji. "I'll be seeing you again, red pineapple. No one hurts my wielder and lives to tell about it," The white Hollow said with such promised venom that it made the three Shinigami shiver.

The three Shinigami turned and walked into the gate, a little confused at what the hollow said about wielder, and it closed behind them after Byakuya and Renji sent one last glare.

TBC

Fights a bit short, because Vasto Lordes are stronger than a captain, and Renji and Byakuya have seals on them, meaning they are not strong enough to fight one, let alone two of them. Oh, and the three Shinigami didn't catch Shiro saying, "control me as you Zanpakuto" thing, because they were in shock.

Ichi: Yeah, I wonder how they're going to react to that. :/ It's not every day that Shinigami get a Hollow for a Zanpakuto and it being outside of you inner world all the time.

enj/bri: Tell me about it.

Shiro: YES! XD I'M BACK, AND I'M HERE TO STAY! *laughing insanely*

enjali&ichi: O_O *runs away like the devil is after them*

Shiro: Huh, where'd they go? *starts looking for us*

Zangetsu: Please review.
