Now it was to late for Byakuya, he released his zanpakuto, inside of the Seireitei walls. He had broken the law, which he had hoped not to do. He opened his eyes as his zanpakuto began to fly away in the wind. Disappearing inch, by inch, lost to with the wind, once the whole blade had vanished, tiny little sparkles came from out of nowhere. Which started to fly towards Kenpachi, who in turn smiled in a sadistic way, and carried on towards Byakuya with his own zanpakuto in his right hand. Kenpachi thought that as long as he could get to Byakuya before the blades got to him hell be safe, there is no way Byakuya would carry on with the attack if he himself was also in danger.

Kenpachi's smile became bigger as he started to speed up, and just before he was within 5 meters of Byakuya he flashed stepped towards him. His hand reached out to grab him, but the moment Byakuya saw his hand he knew instantly what to do, he flashed stepped behind Kenpachi and kicked him forwards. Pushing off his back, and moving away from Kenpachi, the petals finally encased Kenpachi's body.

Once he had come to a complete stop on the reishi formed below his feet he stood by and viewed the Kenpachi sized figure, coated with 1000 tiny shards of metal. It was usual for screams to be coming from Kenpachi during a fight to the death. It stumped Byakuya for a while whether they were genuine or not. It was Kenpachi after all, anything is possible with him around. His eyes focused on the body stood in front of him. Better take no chances he thought to himself. With his finger raised, pointed at Kenpachi's body, he took a slight brief and said in his calm voice,

"Path of destruction 4; pale lightning"

Blue lighting shot from his finger, and went straight for his opponents chest. With is free hand he controlled the metal shards to leave Kenpachi's shredded body alone whilst the lighting headed straight for him. It was all timed to the point of perfection. The blades left his body alone just as the lighting hit his chest hard.

Once the lighting had stopped Byakuya ceased his attack, and stared at the cut up, Kenpachi as he gasped for air and started coughing up blood. His zanpakuto however was still in his hand. Gripped tightly at the top half of the handle, his other hand ripping of his captains haori. It appeared that it would just get in the way for him against Byakuya. Tossing the haori aside like it was nothing, he grasped his sword by both hands, running towards Byakuya in a monstrous rage that was visible in his eyes.

Byakuya took up his hilt and threw the blades at him once more to form a blockade between the two, but no sooner had he done this, that a large spirit pressure concentrated in his left arm come bursting through it, catching Byakuya off guard. The hand, covered in a visible bright yellow spirit pressure grabbed Byakuya by his uniform and pulled him through the tiny blades.

Kenpachi's trade mark smile in the middle of a fight was all he was greeted by, it seemed that the kido spell did considerable damage to him, but he just shrugged it off like it was nothing. Just a hindrance in his revenge. Byakuya looked into his eyes filled with rage with a strange mix of vengeance. Sure enough it wasn't like Kenpachi to fight in revenge of his squad members, but it didn't matter anymore. All he had to worry bout was getting out of this little predicament.

With his arm still covered in his spirit pressure, he couldn't just flash step away. He would have to cut the scarf made of the finest silks in soul society to get free. The thought terrorised him, it was his grandfathers scarf, and was left to him, like trademark of the Kuchiki family. He had no choice. A flick of the hilt and the blades yet again, came flying up from beneath them both, slicing the scarf numerous time till it just ripped apart. Only he didn't just cut his scarf, he somehow managed to get rid of the eye patch that was eating away at Kenpachi spirit pressure.

Once the eye patch was ripped and some spirit pressure were leaked from underneath it, the pressure just blew it away with such forces it even cracked the walls with an immense force, beyond what Byakuya had ever felt. For a second he thought he lost the fight, till he remembered it was Byakuya, he would not lose to him.
