Chapter Eight
Rimaero hovered above Karakura in his glorious moment of self triumph. Though it distracted him and kept him from knowing about the oncoming group of protagonists. His thought was interrupted by a rash shout as he snarled angrily and glared at the group.
"Hey you cocky jerk!" Ichigo shouted below from his position mid-air. "You'll pay for what you did to Toshiro. Don't think I'll let you get away with what you're up to!" He threw Zangetsu into his other hand; firmly holding the blade in a defensive position. "I'm gonna kill you!"
Rimaero laughed a bit before folding his arms over his chest. "You won't give up; will you? I'll tell you, you are persistent." He snapped his fingers to signal an unspoken command to the larger arrancar.
The bulky and heavily muscled arrancar held Defaras out as he shook her lightly to wake her up. She stirred lightly before slowly opening her eyes. She first flinched in order to adjust to the brightness her eyes recently met; then she shook her head and released herself from the arrancar's arms.
"What the hell?" Defaras shrieked out of rage. "What happened? Where are we?"
Rimaero scoffed with his Zanpaku-tô held firmly in hand. "That freak with the ears handed your ass over to you. We came in and grabbed you up before they could catch you. You should be grateful."
"Grateful? You stupid..." she huffed heavily and mumbled curses under her breath with her arms folded over her chest. "I better get a better rank for this in the end..." She drew her weapon and held the blade in hand with an anxious desire to kill.
"In due time..." Rimaero responded.
"Hey!" Inuyasha shouted from the top of one of the buildings. "Are you people done yapping or we going to sit here all day waiting for you jerks to shut up?" His brows were already knitted carefully into a glare. He as well as Tetsusaiga were ready for the thrilling heat of battle.
Rimaero growled again and threw his finger, pointing in the direction of Inuyasha. "Mundo; now!"
The large arrancar stood erect as he slammed a fist into an open palm. "Mundo will pound him into the ground..." he said before drawing his Zanpaku-tô and calling out. "Resurrección; chikara no tsuchi!" His blade began to shimmer as it took form and covered his wrists like gauntlets. He took a fist fighter's stance and appeared before Inuyasha with great speed. He slowly drew back his arm and threw a fist at the half demon before Yatsutoro appeared between the two and used his left arm to block the arrancar's punch.
"I'll handle this one." Yatsutoro told Inuyasha as he kept his eyes locked on the brutish arrancar. "Go; assist Ichigo and Uryu."
"Yeah.." Inuyasha jumped and moved his position closer to Ichigo's. "Alright; what's the plan here?" he quirked from below the shinigami representative.
"Chad an Uryu have our backs. Think you can help me handle the guy in charge?"
"More than easily."
Things weren't going as Rimaero planned; once again he demanded the next of his group. "You two, get the one with glasses. He should be easy."
The arrancar twins nodded quietly as they moved to Uryu. Both of them drew out their Zanpaku-tô and took their stances before him.
Uryu took a moment to adjust his glasses before he smirked devilishly. "I'm sorry; I wasn't paying much attention." He formed the energy needed for his quincy bow to appear before he held the bow in hand and aimed at the twins. "Sorry; but we don't take too kindly to people who plan to cause trouble in this town."
"A quincy too?" Rimaero was beyond expectations. He wasn't told about any of this or how hard it'd be. If anything, he assumed a place like this would be taken over without a fight. "Dammit; this is not what I planned!"
"Jeez; you whine a lot..." Defaras mocked him in an annoyed tone. "Fine; if the big baby can't handle it I'll just have to help, won't I?" She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Ichigo quickly took the advance. "Let's go!" he shouted to Inuyasha as he drew Zangetsu back and flew through the air towards Rimaero.
Inuyasha took a step back and readied himself for a long leap, but before he could jump Defaras appeared.
"Sorry, but I'm a little stuck having to deal with you people for now. So I suppose I'll kill you for that nasty cut you put into me earlier." She twirled her Zanpaku-tô before snatched the hilt in her hand; her reflection revealed in the sheen of the blade's metal. "So, let's do this, alright?"
