Shuhei studdied the movements of the enemies threw the small window in his room. 'There has to be a way to escape, but how? I can try and use kido to break threw the wall, but then i'm up against all of them compleatly alone. I wouldn't stand a chance. I need to find an escape plan that is much more subtle. Lets see...' but as much as Shuhei thought, he had no ideas that would help any. He looked up at the cealing. The others got hurt, and it's all my fult becasue i choose not to listen to them. I can't beleive how much of an idiot i am. I should have just stayed in my room.' Shuhei thought in frustration. Then he clenched a fist. 'No, that kind of thinking wont help anyone now! I need a plan. I need to do something that'll help them!' he thought. Turning to the door Shuhei tock a deep breath. 'I need to slow down whatever plan they have!' he decided. Then he put a hand on the door. "Hado number thirty one...Shakkaho!" the door gave and turned into splinters. Shuhei could see Kazeshini and leaped for it. Sure enough alarms went off as he did.
"Reap Kazeshini!" he said. Jurou and Kaede made it to him first. They both pulled back their wepons and swung them, sending a wave of water and sound at Shuhei from each side. Shuhei spun both blades off, blocking the attackes, then jumping over Kaede he ran down the hall. Masaru came slidding around the corner. Shuhei caught his by surprise, kicking him in the head an moving swiftly on. He had to find Akane. Skidding down a new hall Aoi appeaared. Shuhei spun his weapons at the man. he used his katana and the attack turned back on Shuhei. Shuhei saw a wndow and pulled the bade so it crashed threw the window and he leaped out after it, landing on the ground outside. He made it out, now he just had to find Akane. Suddenly someone restrained him from behind. Shuhei dropped Kazeshini and turned his head.
"That was just stupid Shuhei. What do you think you were trying to do?" Akane asked. Shuhei sighed. He knew it had been hopeless but he was hoping to stall them longer. He would have to try and distract them with words for a while, try and prevent them from being able to carry out their plan.
"I guess i wasn't. I didn't have a plan except to escape." Shuhei said.
"That was poorly exicuted, if you ask me it seemed like a suicide attempt." he said.
"What if it was? Your gonna kill me anyway. May as well try. I have nothing left to loose anyway right? I mean i could sit back and live a few minutes longer or i could try and fight for my life. Most likley this will end with my death, so why not use whats left of it to try and kill you?" Shuhei asked.
"Did you really think you could take me on? Really Shuhei?" he asked. Shuhei smirked.
"Of course. I'm a lieutenant aren't I?" Shuhei said. Akane snarled and punched Shuhei in the head. All the others choose that time to arrive an watch this new development. Shuhei spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I mean hey if i don't try then i'm not worthy of my badge." he said.
"Your worthy of it, only traitors serve the soul society. Wasn't it your Captain that was one of the three who betrayed the soul society? The man who you loyaly served and admired?" Akane asked. Shuhei felt a wave of pain, loss, and shame fall over him.
"Yes, and it was my blade that ran him threw to end him." Shuhei added. He knew that may make the situation only worse, but he had nothing else to say. Akane glared at him.
"You can't even be loyal to your Captain? Now that's pathetic. You could have at least tryed to be loyal to someone in your life." said Akane.
"I am. To my friends. Nanao, Rangiku, Izuru, Renji, Momo, Iba, Captain Komamura, Captain Muguruma...they are everything to me. You won't be able to touch any of them if i can help it." Shuhei said defiently.
"So you say, but once we break threw to the Soul Society then we will destroy their home while they are away. Then we will finish off the officers. Their's no way you'll be able to stop us once we break threw!" he said with a grin.
"Then i'll have to stop you here." Shuhei kicked Akane hard and his grip slacked. Shuhei slammed his head back into Akane's face and tock a step back. The others were ready to move in on him. Shuhei looked at each one in turn, hoping to find a weak link.
"I change my mind Shuhei. I think we'll kill you now instead." Akane said. Shuhei smirked. "What's so funny?" Akane asked.
"I did what i set out to do." Shuhei said. They all looked at him in confusion. That gave Suhei enough time to spot the machine they were building. "Hado number thirty three, sokatsui!" he sent to spell at it. They realized too late what Shuhei was doing and watched helplessly as thier tool for vengance went up in smoke. "I slowedyou down by a significant amount of time. I garentee they'll find you before you can get another one built." Shuhei said. Akane glared, and hit Shuhei hard across the face with his staff. The boy fell down, unconcious onto the ground. "Kill him." growled Akane. Daisuke pulled Shuhei up and Aoi held his katana over Shuhei's neck. He brought it down, but a blast of wind threw him away from the young lieutenant.
The entire group looked over to see Kensei standing with Yoruichi. Yoruichi smirked. "I'm glad we decided to leave first. Else little Shuhei would be in need of a head." she said.
"It's not a joke Yoruichi." complained Kensei as Uryu, Chad, Kisuke, Kenpachi, Yachiru, Rukia, Renji, Ikkaku, Soi Fon, Shinji, Hiyori, Sajin, Ukitake, Nanao, Lisa, Toshiro, and Izuru arrived. "I beleive you have something that belongs to us." Kensei growled.
