Yugana and I ran to the nearest gate. It wasn't before long when Yugana sensed a Spiritual Power that doesn't belong to anyone of the Thirteen Court Guard Squad.
"Do you feel it?" she asked. I closed my eyes and tried to sense whatever she was feeling. It was faint, but it was there.
"Yeah, Spiritual Power" I said. As if on cue, two cloaked figures walked around the corner. The both of us unsheathed our Zanpukutos and so did they.
"Reveal yourself!" yelled Yugana. Reluctantly, the two threw off their cloaks.
"You're... No way" I mumbled. My mom, er foster mom was standing there with the most smug smile I have ever seen.
"Well, what a surprise Haya. I never thought of seeing our target so quickly. Isn't that right, brother?" said fraud mom. My fraud dad did the same smile, only his looked more deadly.
"You're right sister. Now that we found each other, I think it's only appropriate for us to introduce ourselves properly. I am Aido Nishimura formerly of the Thirteen Court Guard Squad" introduced fraud dad.
"And I am Aiko Nishimura. You may know us as the Nishimura twins or the Hell's Servants" said fraud mom.
"Hell's Servant's" whispered Yugana. That term is only used when Soul Reapers gain powers from Hell and uses them to do evil deeds.
"Now like every other villain" said Aiko
"We are going to tell you our master plan" said Aido.
"And that is to eliminate you Haya Kuchiki" they say at the same time. At this moment, they've released their Shikais.
"Cloud your mind, Wasure Omoide" said Aido.
"Burn, Eien no Hono" said Aiko. Aido's Zanpukuto turned into black and red staff with a skull on top. Aiko's Zanpukuto turned into whip with fire flowing through it. I thought it'd be appropriate to unleash my shikai too.
"Rise Karashimo" I said as my Zanpukuto turned into it's Shikai form. I also noticed that whenever I release it, I'm always standing on a patch of ice.
"I see you've gained Shikai Haya. But let me tell you this, your Shikai, is the ugliest thing I've ever seen" laughed Aiko.
"Shut it! Search and destroy, Sagi no Umi!" and Yugana's Zanpukuto turned into a white bladed sword with a light blue hilt. And is it me or I see a horse pin hanging off it.
"Ah, I remember you. You're called the Princess of Water aren't you? You're supposedly the most graceful when fighting" said Aido. There's a lot of chit chat going on here you the best idea I had to start the fight already.
I struck at Aiko as Yugana struck at Aido. I have to admit, Aiko was really strong.
"So you can feel it. My power. I was given this by hell itself!" yelled Aiko as she swung her whip. I knew it'd be a problem but I never thought it'd be so fast. I tried my best to dodge her attacks.
"Too slow" Aiko said as her whip grazes my left arm. A small cut has been left there along with a burning sensation. I staggered back holding my arm. I glance over at Yugana and she seems to be doing well. Every time she attacks, water comes splashing in. Where does the water comes from.
"Pay attention to your own battle!" yelled Aiko as she swung again. I barely dodged her whip and when it touched the ground, the earth itself seemed to be cracked open with fire coming out of it. Just like hell.
"Damn, that Zanpukuto is such a nuisance. I need to get rid of it somehow" I muttered. I ran in for the attack and somehow I was lucky and struck her leg, only a little bit.
"Arggh, you pest!" she yelled. Just when she says that, I heard Aido yell to. When I glanced over, he was clutching his leg too. I wondered if Yugana hit him but her face says otherwise.
"You two, do you share each other's pain and wounds?" I asked. Aiko groaned, she got up.
"There was a price when it came to having hell's power. Hell is a very painful place to be so if one were to have it's power, you would share the same pain as your partner. That's why there is always two people when gaining hell's power" informed Aiko. In that case, if I strike Aiko, Aido will weaken too and vice versa. At least, it makes it a little bit easier. But that whip.
"If you gain enough Spiritual Energy, the frost on your blade will grow. Once it covers the blade completely, you can seal any Zanpukuto into it's original state. Even in Bankai. All you would have to do is touch me with the other Zanpukuto" said a very familiar voice.
"But her Zanpukuto, it doesn't only cut and burn, it takes away bits and pieces of your Spiritual Energy. So don't let it touch you" advised Karashimo. I realized that she was right too. I didn't have as much Spiritual Energy as I did when I released Shikai. So don't let the whip touch me, easier said than done.
Over to my right, Yugana seemed to be doing fine. She has quick reflexes and she lives up to her name Princess of Water. Yugana looks like she's dancing every time she attacks. It looks really easy when she does it.
Me on the other hand, I have a very gruesome attack method. I mean my Zanpukuto's power is practically black ice that freeze your blood if you touch it. It's very slow and painful judging the fact that every time I use Kyokusei Kai, my opponents all scream in pain. What a wonderful way to say your last words.
Minute by minute I grew tired by gathering up Spiritual Energy and dodging Aiko's attack. Her whip can only go a certain distance so if I'm far enough, she won't be able to touch me. But I can see the frost slowly gathering on my blade as I gather up Spirit Energy. Which is a good sign.
Just when the frost was about to cover the whole blade Aido said something that would make everything so much more harder.
"Sister?" asked Aido. Aiko nodded. Together they said;
"Bankai, Aku No Futago" and as flames were summoned, I can see them molding into one. Once the flames died down, I saw a monster. Half of the body was Aiko and the other half was Aido. Their weapons changed. In Aiko's hand was a shield that looks like a screaming soul and in Aido's hand was a spear that had the same skull as the one on his staff. The spear itself was made out of what I assumed human bones and the tip of spear was jet black that is most likely the rocks down in hell.
"What are you? How'd you gain this much power and stuff? Just who are you really?" glared Yugana as she questioned the creature in front of us.
"Individually, we are Hell's Servants" said Aiko.
"But together, we are the Emperor of Death" said Aido. I felt my whole body starting to tremble with fear. Never once have I felt so much fear, let alone emotion. I heard that there was a master living in Hell, the one who controls all the cursed being down there. The master was rumoured to be so powerful that the master himself could take on a military by himself. And now, the master is standing in front of. This is Aiko and Aido Nishimura, I am certain I'd get nightmares for months once I'm done. Provided that I win and survive this fight.
