Ikkaku Charged at Haruka and Jabbed his sword forward Haruka barely had enough time to dodge and got a cut on her left side and fell to the ground on her back.

Come on that's all you got!? Ikkaku yelled as he swung his blade downward at her. Haruka raised her sword up and blocked his swing an tried pushing Ikkaku blade off of hers.

Ikkaku grinned. Your going have to do better than that.

Haruka gritted her teeth as Ikkaku pushed down harder and slowly was losing the struggle. Haruka then raised her leg and kicked Ikkaku where it hurts the most. He groaned in pain and lost his control of his attack. Haruka pushed the blade back and rolled away from him and stood up breathing slightly heavy.

Ikkaku shook off the pain. That was a cheap shot bitch.

Haruka grinned. I'll take any advantage i can get.

Ikkaku cracked his neck. Well then lets see you try and stop this!

Ikkaku charged at her again but this time much faster. Haruka's eyes widened as she barely blocked his attack. Ikkaku chuckled menacingly as he kept attacking her. All Haruka could do was block and dodge attack after attack but she knew she was losing ground.

Come on your only on the defensive fight back or is a kick to the groin your best attack?! Ikkaku yelled.

Haruka blocked another attack but didn't see Ikkaku raise his leg and he kicked Haruka in the stomach hard knocking the wind out of her and blood spewing from her mouth. She flew through the air and crashed into a wall cracking it and fell face first into the ground. Haruka tried getting up as Ikkaku walked over to her and placed his foot on her back keeping her down.

Man ive trained with kids better than you what a disappointment.

Nel yelled from her spot. Haru has to get up Nel knows Haru can do it!

Yumichika stood there un amused with his arms crossed. Just finish her off Ikkaku this was obviously a waste of our time..


.Haruka found herself in grassy meadow with dark clouds in the sky with lighting shooting out of them but no rain.

Where am i?

Your in your mindscape. Haruka quickly turned around to see a figure standing there. It was a girl who looked to be a teenager with wild blue hair that reached halfway down her back, a blue shirt with a black opened vest, dark blue skinny jeans and golden eyes.

Who are you?Haruka asked.

The girl giggled. Who do you think i am? Ive been with you since you got your soul reaper powers.

Haruka thought for a moment then her eyes widened. You mean your my Zanpakuto!?

The girl nodded. Yup bingo, you finally been able to reach out to me and all it took was getting your ass kicked.

Haruka blushed from anger. Hey!

The girl giggled. Im kidding but what really finally brought us together was your determination, and peaceful soul. You want to fight to get your lover back but you have no desire to kill. You've been told time and time again that was a weakness but Mika's right its not its a very powerful strength and i'll show you.

Haruka interrupted. How?

The girl smiled. By finally telling you my name..my name is...


Haruka woke up and quickly bit Ikkaku's ankle. He roared in pain and stepped away. Oww your crazy! and that's saying something coming from me! he yelled as Haruka stood up slowly.

I'll do what ever it takes to reach Mika but i swear i won't kill you i promise.

Ikkaku laughed. How the hell you going to beat me then? Because im sure as hell going to kill you.

Haruka smirked. I'll show you. Haruka held out her Zanpakutou...STRIKE THEM DOWN RAKURAI!

A small guest of wind formed around Haruka as her sword glowed and transformed. Her blade changed from a curved balde into a zig zag pattern like a lightning bolt, the hilt became a golden color and you could faintly see the sparks of electricity surging around it.

The wind stopped and Nel looked at Haruka in amazement. Ohhh Go Haru!

Ikkaku grinned. Well well well you finally unlocked your shikai, guess its my turn then to turn up the heat! Ikkaku put the hilt of his sword against its sheathe. EXTEND HOZUKIMARU! His sword the glowed and transformed into a spear with a wooden extension. Now the real fun begins!
