DISCLAIMER; i own nothing of Bleach only Aikio
Aikio then looked over, a large movement of brown caught her attention in the distance, and she noticed the figures, 'Rangiku and Momo…' It then took her back, 'What the hell is that monster they're fighting?!' She now turned facing their direction. 'That spiritual pressure… I can feel it all the way over here..'
It was in horror that Aikio saw the monster strike at Rangiku, sending her to the ground, "Rangiku!" Aikio screamed, now rushing as fast as she could to the two fukoutaichou's. 'Please be okay!' She saw Momo use a binding spell to catch Rangiku, and they both landed, but Aikio wasn't there in time to prevent Momo from being hit, "Way of Binding 37: Suspended Star!" Aikio cried out, catching the poor girl.
Aikio landed on the street, quickly turning to face the beast, unsheathing her zanpakuto, "You hell monster! Blaze Ryuu!" She screamed, the black flames rushing out of her sword to form a column of flames at the beast.
Allon, the beast, took the hit, unfazed. Aikio was taken back, then barely dodged the hand that swiped at her, but the wind pressure sent her flying. She was able to catch herself, and raised her sword again, "Show what the Hell flames are; Akuma Ryuu!" and again, Akuma was there, bellowing his deathly cry.
"Show it hell Akuma Ryuu." Aikio hissed, slashing her bladeless hilt. The dragon gave another screech before rushing forward, and wrapping itself around Allon before squeezing it's flamed engulfed body on him, and Allon seemed to take the pain, but break free easily.
Aikio wasn't able to react fast enough, the beast swatted her aside like she was nothing. Aikio could feel her shoulder that J-Anna hit serge in pain, and she felt her ribs crack, 'In one blow… that thing was able to take out three fukoutaichou's…'
She felt herself hit against something, but it wasn't concrete or the ground. She felt pain surge through her whole body and looked up, "H-Hisagi…"
Shuuhei could see the pain in her eyes, and gently picked her up, flash stepping to where Kira was with the other two wounded women. Shuuhei laid Aikio gently down, hearing her hiss, 'She's as worst as Hinomori…' He looked at Kira, "I'll take care of this thing, you just concentrate on these three." Before he could leave, Aikio grabbed his shirt,
"He's.. he's fast, don't… don't let that thing fool you…. H-Hisagi.." She almost seemed to plead.
"Don't worry Kio." He said, grabbing her hand, and then placing it back on the ground, before taking off.
'Again.. He tells me not to worry, that idiot..' She thought, taking shallow breaths, 'I.. I think I now know something though…' She couldn't help but smile, but then pain surged through her, and she winced in pain, then looked over to Kira, "Izuru-fukoutaichou.. How's… how's Matsumoto-fukoutaichou and… Hinomori-fukoutaichou?"
Kira looked up, seeing the girl trying to hide her pain through a weaken smile, "Just hold on Aikio, and don't worry, they're fine, let's get you healed." He spoke walking over to her, then kneeling down. "Aikio, you don't have to use formalities either." He whispered, "You're on the same level as I am."
Aikio just smiled, and felt some of her wounds start to heal, helping the pain decrease. She looked up to Kira, "You're really good. Even though you said you were in the 4th division how many years ago?"
Kira gave a slight smile and finished with her quickly, 'she wasn't as bad, that's good.' Kira looked up, "Komamura-taichou.." he then noticed he was carrying two people.
Aikio was now able to sit up, and looked up, seeing Iba and Hisagi, and her heart stopped for a second, but once Komamura put the two down she was next to Shuuhei, while Kira went to treat Iba.
She looked down at him, he was struggling to breath, "Idiot.." She muttered..
"Aikio…" He breathed out.. "Aikio.. I'm sorry.."
"You better be!" She hisses quietly, " 'Don't worry Kio' my ass! Look what happened!" She knew why she was jumping down his throat, she knew what that emotion she had, what she wanted to tell him, but kept shut. Instead she held his hand, "You idiot, you worried me…"
Shuuhei smiled, trying to reassure her, "Sorry, I.. I didn't really listen to you.." She felt his grip tighten on her hand, "Rangiku.. Hinomori?"
She felt a pang, but ignored it. "They're fine, Kira fixed them up as best as he could, they still need to be treated by a real medic, but they're fine.." She whispered. Aikio looked up, seeing a few others come, but she didn't recognize any of them, 'Who are they?' she barely waited when she saw them have masks… 'Hollowification? You mean there's more to them? What side are they on? If they're on Aizen's we're screwed..' but once she saw them take off to the Menos she relaxed, 'They must be on ours. At least I hope it stays that way.'
Aikio looked at Komamura and let go of Shuuhei's hand, walking out of the barrier, now noticing something, 'Where's Ukitake-taichou's reitsu?!' she closed her eyes, trying to find it… she found it, just barely.. 'Ukitake-taichou..'
"Go on," Komamura spoke, "Go find Ukitake-taichou, see how he is."
Aikio looked up and nodded, "Arigoto Komamura-taichou! Please watch the others." She spoke going off towards the faint reitsu. She rushed over, seeing Jushiro. "Ukitake-taichou!" She yelled rushing over to the injured taichou. She knelt down next to him, shaking his shoulders, hoping for him to wake up, "Taichou!? Taichou please wake up! Please don't die!"
Jushiro's eyes opened slightly, "Oh.. Aikio… it's… it's you." He spoke, softly.
Aikio felt some of the relief flood her, then tensed, "Taichou you're hurt real bad, let me.. Let me get you over to the others, or get Kira to come over here.."
"Oh no no, it's fine, I'll be fine in a little while." He paused, "Don't worry Aikio." his hand shaking til it reaching her shoulder. "I'm really glad you took my position as fukoutaichou."
Aikio could hear each word was strained, "Taichou.. Please don't talk like that, you can tell me after this is all done on how you're so happy, you just need to rest and you're be better.." She took her still hooked right sleeve and tore it off, "We have to stop the bleeding." whispered. She lifted her taichou's shirt up, determined not to let the man die, to be able to survive so many years, especially with tuberculosis, and to die from bleeding out… she wrapped the sleeve around his torso as best as she could. "Ukitake-taichou, you stay right there. You're going to make it, so don't worry. Kira will be over soon to help heal you. You're going to pull through" She spoke, now taking his hand off her shoulder, laying it down, "You'll see taichou, you'll pull through."
Ukitake, not wanting to let her lose her hope only nodded, then let the girl go. 'Dear girl.. I'm sorry.' he thought, closing his eyes.
Aikio was able to make her way back to the barrier where Kira was, she noticed Komamura was gone, but said nothing of it, "Kira!" She spoke, getting the blonde's attention, "Kira, once you're done, please try and help Ukitake-taichou! He's severely hurt, please!" She spoke, not going in. It was then that she noticed something, Shuuhei was missing. "Where's Shuuhei?!"
Kira looked back at her, "He went with Komamura, he wanted to help him fight Tousen." Kira saw the horror in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly, "Keep the others safe Kira!" She spoke quickly turning and running off. 'Damn it Shuuhei, you're in no condition to fight!' She stopped feeling her ribs crack. 'Neither am I… oh well!' she took back off.
She stopped again, this time feeling a strong reitsu. 'What is that?' she focused, and closer to the reitsu, she felt Shuuhei's and Komamura's reitsu's. 'That must be Tousen's..' She felt her fist clench, then took off. 'Please, don't let me be late!' She saw Komamura up in the air and appeared next to him, "Komamura-taichou! Where's.." She stopped, looking over and seeing the creature that was once Tousen… "What…"
Komamura pushed the girl back, "Let me handle this, Shiimakida."
Aikio nodded, not taking her eyes off Tousen. He looked like a large moth, his sight returning to him it seemed, and she hoped that even with Komamura's bankai, he'd be defeated easily. Her worry grew not seeing Shuuhei. 'He's fine, I know he is, he better…'
Tousen started to laugh, "I can see! I can see! So this is the sky, this is blood, this is the world! Komamura… you're uglier than I thought you'd be." He spoke before pushing him back.
Komamura threw his sword down, his bankai following suit, and Aikio was surprised when Tousen was able to stop the large sword with only one of his arms. Tousen then held his other arm out, "Los Noueve Aspectos." With that, a giant indent appeared in Komamura's bankai, and as it fell back, she noticed Komamura fell back as well. 'Whatever happens to the bankai, happens to Komamura-taichou!' she quickly stood in between the two, sword in hand.
Tousen stopped, looking at the girl, "You… you must be Soi Fon's 3rd seat…"
"I'm fukoutaichou now.. Tousen." She spoke with venom. "You won't take another step."
"Really?" Tousen spoke, "And what's your reason? You don't even know you."
"But Komamura-taichou and Hisagi-fukoutaichou do. They wanted you back.. And you… you just threw them away, I won't stand for it!" She screamed, "Show what the Hell flames are; Akuma Ryuu!" Akuma came to her aid, circling not only her, but the injured Komamura. Akuma's head raised in the sky, bellowing, then nudged the shinigami girl.
"Impressive the least to say." Tousen. " A dragon of nothing but flames.."
"Show hell Akuma." She spoke, pointing the hilt at Tousen. Akuma rushed at the man, actually encircling him and then closing the gap.
"Los Noueve Aspectos." Tousen hissed, disintegrating the shikai animal, then was able to knock Aikio to the ground, and repeated the same words, and instantly Aikio felt pain in her chest and stomach. "I'll destroy you first.."
Aikio coughed blood up, "You monster.. You… you taught Shuuhei so much… and you betrayed him over nothing but for power! You're not the man he hailed so greatly!" She hissed, feeling the pain start to numb…
Tousen was ready to unleash his cero when something hit into his body. Aikio looked wide eyed. "Shuuhei…" She was barely able to whisper.
Shuuhei took deep breaths, his wounds were getting to him.. "Just as I thought… You're no longer Tousen-taichou… when you were blind… you would have easily dodged this.." He closed his eyes, "Reap, Kazeshini." He spoke, the sword transforming and ending the once former taichou's life.
Aikio watched Tousen fall to the side, and Shuuhei landed on the ground next to her, kneeling down, "Aikio.." He whispered, wrapping his arms under her body, lifting her up to his chest, holding her close, "I should.. I should have came sooner.." He whispered in her hair.
"Shuuhei, I'm.. I'm fine, really. Don't worry. You're hurt.."
"No.. I'm… I'm fine.." He managed to get out before collapsing to the ground.
