review, constructive criticism is appreciated.

I would love to know what you guys thought of the battle in the previous chapter.

"talking, usually" Arrancar thought "Arrancar talk" zanpakutou thought

Section 13: Arrancar

The lightning cero disappeared. Jidori's zanpakutou went back to its sealed form as the arrancar put it back into its sheath. After putting down the zanpakutou, Arrancar went to pick up his host.

"Don't you dare put your filthy hands on him."

The arrancar faced where the voice came from. Kagai was there, missing the right third of his body, but not bleeding. In addition, his sword was in his left hand and missing three to four feet of its blade.

"How did you survive that? One of my lightning ceros was enough to disintegrate four captains with their bankai active and eight or nine lieutenants and anyone unfortunate enough not to get out of the way."

At this point, four people were running towards the scene; Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, Uyru Ishida, and Chad. Immediately Ichigo drew his sword and charged the arrancar. The arrancar used sonido and punched the orange haired vizard. Ichigo went through the wall.

"My powers may be severely limited, but I can still take on anyone who dares interfere with my taking care of my host. Woman, your power seems unnatural. If you have any healing properties, will you use them on that pathetic excuse for an older brother?"

Before Orihime said anything, the arrancar turned and picked up his host and his sword. "I will not allow any visitors to Jidori. We will be at his quarters." The arrancar used sonido and left.

That was really hard on me. First you use Ryuuzaki Raiko, then that arrancar uses me to tap into one of his attacks.

I am truly sorry, Raikrai. I promise not to ever allow Arrancar to use you again.

I know you mean that. But now your cover is blown.

I don't care anymore. I just want to rest now.

The arrancar sat next to Jidori's bed when a knock came at his door. Jidori's arrancar twin stood up and opened the door, obviously pissed. Captain Hitsugaya, Captain Kuchiki, and Iyou was at the door.

"Go away. I really don't want to kill two captains and my host's first friend."

"At least explain why Jidori's and Kagai's relationship is so bad," Iyou said.

"Why should I tell you, his captain, and another who was the instrument to bringing Jidori's mention of that man?"

"Please. Besides, I think the captains want Jidori's side of things."

"Fine. But we will stay out here. I'll tell you his side of things and my own. After all, he was able to consult me fairly early in his life. I shouldn't say this, but there was one other that manifested his hatred towards his brother and used him for her own purposes."

Section 14: Trouble

In the world of the living, more specifically, in a town close to Karakura, there was a warehouse with an unexplainable amount of security. A tall woman wearing a red version of soul reapers' clothes and a black haori with the number 1 in kanji on the back. Her zanpakutou rested on her right side and was all black. Her figure turned heads, mainly because of her chest assets. Her eyes were yellow-orange and always glowing, almost in contrast to her shiny black hair.

"Report," the woman's voice had no emotion to it.

Inside the warehouse, there were machines and people everywhere, and two cages. "Everything is ready, Milady. We even have some volunteers." The man glanced at a group of five; one middle aged man, one old hag, a high-schooler, a business woman, and one middle-schooler. A varied group, exactly what she wanted.

"Good. Activate the machine." There was a surge of movement near the cages as men and women activated a strange cube-like machine. The machine glowed.

The woman stood next to the volunteers, who were very confused, but didn't ask questions as the woman had her hand on her sword. "What do you see in the first cage."

The five people looked at the first cage, which had nothing in it a few moments ago, to find four people with chains coming from their chests. They told the woman what they saw. She then asked them what was in the second cage. They gave the same response that something was in it when there wasn't a moment ago, this time, monsters. She corrected them that they were called hollows and asked if they saw the four people in white clothing and holes in their chests standing on each side of the cage. They responded yes.

"Good. Now kill: Kira." The woman drew her sword as it transformed into a three bladed, double edged, humongous scythe/pendulum weapon. Their remains, along with a few technicians' nearby, splattered all over the floor and wall.

sorry for the really short chapter, but at least it wasn't a cliffhanger.

I want know what you guys want to see in the next chapter. Please abide this time and put it in the review and not keep it to yourselves. next chapter's focus may hinge on what you say.

thank you jubajubafreak, yuki and megumi, and darkness surrounds me for reviewing.
