Chapter 9:

A sudden explosion happened where Momo and Ichigo interrogating the captured hollow. The others began to worried.

"Hinamori! Ichigo!" Renji shouted as he looked over to the now smoked-filled area where they were standing. Luckily for them, Momo and Ichigo shunpoed away and they landed where Renji and others stood.

"Hinamori! Ichigo! Are you two okay?" asked by the worried Rangiku.

"Yes, we're okay…" Momo replied and offered her a smile.

"Hey, what happened?" Renji asked.

"Tch, someone attacked us." Ichigo replied still looking from the area where they came from.

"Huh? I can see that." Renji said in a sarcastic tone. Ichigo turned his head to Renji and the scene began to change into a comical scene.

"What was that?" Ichigo asked angrily.

"I'm asking you what really happened! I meant that who was the one attacked you!" Renji shot back.

"I said– Ugh! " Ichigo was cut off when Rukia smacked him in the head.

"What was that for, Rukia?" Ichigo asked her angrily.

"Idiot! Where on the middle of our mission so don't fool around! We have not time to argue with each other! I'm tired of repeating it!" Rukia yelled.

"Uh-huh… No one told you to do that either…" Ichigo replied back.

"What did you say?" Rukia yelled as a vein popped over her head and her right hand raised in front of her.

"Looks who's saying 'we don't have time to argue'"? Renji interrupted. Rukia turned her head and glared at Renji.

"YOU FOOLS!" Rukia yelled angrily at them. And the scene turned to get serious when a voice interrupted them.

"Look what we have here… 7 shinigamis… " a voice suddenly spoke catching their attentions. The said shinigamis turned their attention to where the voice came from. They saw a shadow on the top of the water tank of the building where they were and the smoke caused by the explosion began to disperse. When the area was cleared up, they narrowed their eyes, focusing to the shadow earlier.d

"Hi shinigamis, nice to meet ya!" a spider-looking hollow said.

"Haha, what a joke. There's only 7 baby shinigamis here…! HAHAHAHA!" a bull-looking hollow said as he laughed.

"What? Looks who's saying! You've been avoiding us for these past few days!" Ikkaku shouted.

"Ohh…" the bull-looking hollow narrowed his eyes. "Why would we waste our time for a mere shinigami like you?"

"What are you planning? Earlier that hollow said that once you accomplished your plan we'll be finished! What's the meaning of that?" Ichigo asked angrily.

"Ohhh…. Just like I thought. He can't be trusted with our secrets." The bull-looking hollow turned his head to his companion. The spider-looking hollow just nodded and then looked over the captured hollow. Ichigo noticed this.

"What you're going to do with him?" Ichigo asked.

"You'll see." the bull looking said in a sarcastic tone. The spider-looking hollow stopped in front of the captured hollowed and launch a cero towards him. The captured hollow cried out in pain but soon he turns into dust. Ichigo and the others were shocked of what they witnessed.

"T-That was a cero... Just who the hell are you? What are you planning?" Ichigo asked still shocked.

"HAHAHA! You'll soon find out shinigami. But when that time comes, it will be time of your deaths." after he said that, he and his companion quickly take off leaving the Ichigo and the others behind.

"They're escaping! Let's capture them no matter what!" Renji shouted as they shunpoed away from where they were standing and followed the two hollows.

"Tch, they're fast for a hollow." Ichigo said a little bit irritated. The two hollows looked behind them.

"HAH! They're chasing us. Well let's give them what they want." The bull-looking hollow abruptly stopped and fire a cero at them. Ichigo and the others saw this and quickly shunpoed away.

"Tch. How annoying." Ichigo landed on the roof of the nearby house.

"Not bad, Shinigami…" the bull-looking hollow said looking at Ichigo. "If fight you want, then we'll give it." With that said the two hollows disappeared.

"Where are the –" Ichigo's eye was cut off when the bull-looking hollow appeared at his back and attacked him.

"Kurosaki-kun!" Momo called for him when she saw him got attacked but her eyes widened when the other hollow appeared at her back.

"Hi, little missy." Said by the spider-looking hollow and attacked Momo by one of its arms. Momo unsheated her zanpakutou to blocked the attack but she was sent flying. When she was about to hit the ground, Renji suddenly appeared on her back and catch her. Momo looked up to know who save her.

"T-Thank you, Abarai-kun…" Momo thanked him and smile.

"Nah, it's okay. Be careful next time, Hinamori." Renji replied.

"Well,well, well… It's not the time to relax. Looks like one of my pets likes you, little missy." The hollow said. Momo took a look on her right arms when he felt something crawling. She gasped when she saw a small spider crawling from her arms to her shoulder.

"Hehehe, hope you'll like my surprise for you, shinigamis…" the hollow said as Momo and Renji looked at him. Renji 's eyes widened and looked over the small spider.

"Shit!" Renji cursed as he quickly reached for the spider but it's too late. The small spider's eyes suddenly lighted up and exploded. Ichigo and the others heard the explosion.

"Hinamori! Renji!" Rangiku called for them with widened eyes. They all gasped when Momo and Renji falls unconscious.

"Bakudo # 37. Tsuriboshi!" Rukia cast a kido spell and a star-shaped cushion of spiritual energy appeared, making Momo and Renji stopped from hitting the ground.

"You bastards!" Ikkaku yelled angrily and unsheated his zanpakutou. "Nobiro, Hozukimaru!" He activated his shikai and charged over him. The spider-looking hollow looked at him and launched a few small spiders unto Ikkaku. Ikkaku just sliced them off.

"Oh, not bad… But are you sure it will not explode?" the hollow said.

"Ikkaku! Get away!" Yumichika yelled. Ikkaku's eyes widened and quickly shunpoed away but before he could get away, the sliced small spiders suddenly exploded making him send flying off. He flipped over to stop himself from hitting the nearby building.

"Ikkaku! Are you alright?" Yumichika appeared beside him.

"Yeah… Just got a little scratch… Tch. Damn that hollow. That was one dirty trick!" Ikkaku said as he glared at the hollow.

"Just like I thought… You're just a baby shinigamis." With that said, the bull looking hollow aimed a cero to the unconscious Momo and Renji. Rangiku shunpoed quickly to Momo's and Renji's location and get them away. She put them in a safe place, on the top of the nearby building.

"Oh… I missed. How unfortunate. Well then, see you again, shinigamis. We have something to do. " The two hollows suddenly disappeared on the thin air.
