*the events in the story have been messed with so that I can write my story. Sorry for any confusion on this*

I nod in response to the woman's words there wasn't much to be done now than to wait and watch until we had no other choice. "Yes but we don't have to be idle. I can scout the area around the place where they are holding Rukia." I held up a hand to forestall Renji "we both know that Captain Kyoraku will personally come after me and that I will feel him a mile away. You need to achieve your bankai anyway. This will be the perfect opportunity for that."

"Oh and you don't need your bankai" he says crossing his arms "you don't even have your released form yet."

I grinned "yes I do. How do you think I got away from Kyoraku in the first place" I asked smirking.

A dumbfound expression settled on his features. I turned back to Yoruichi. Her expression said she had a question that I needed to answer. I sigh and nod "yes Yoruichi I did have a . . . relationship with Captain Kyoraku. And yes it was more than a subordinate and superior. That is how I know he will come after me personally. You needn't worry though I won't let it affect the goal" I said firmly not wanting to worry them.

Renji's eyes were burning holes in my back but I ignored them. I smiled once more before I walked away telling them that I needed to speak with my swords. Once I was away from them I let the pain that threatened to engulf me out. Not a sound was made as I sat hunched trying desperately not to simply be swept away. I would be strong it has become apparent that Kyoraku had not felt the same towards me. I would have been no more than a notch on his bedpost at least I never let him get that far now I can still dream at least. A bitter smile surfaced yeah right that would never happen not without quite a bit of pain. Settling myself into a more comfortable position I decided to for the moment forget my emotions towards Kyoraku and focus on the mission I needed to complete.

Two days pass with me blocking my emotions and Ichigo and Renji learning their bankais. I honed my own abilities till neither not even Yoruichi could match my speed. I was naturally very quick but under pressure I became even faster than the former captain of the second squad. I knew deep in my heart that I would fight so much better if I had someone I loved fighting with me. I rarely let this thought surface because the train of thought was to much for me at times. I was holding myself together with tape and prayer no need to set me on fire. Soon the time of Rukia's execution came and everyone was on edge. I left before everyone else so that I could cause the needed distraction a ways from the rescue.

Once I was in position I let my spiritual pressure expand, anyone who knew me would know just who I was. It didn't take long until quiet a crowd had gathered but none attacked. I knew they wouldn't after all they were just to hold me here until Kyoraku could make it. I bent backwards dodging the blow that would have taken me out and the fight began. I ducked and dodged for the most part but I darted in when I could. I had to make sure that none of the people here left. Ichigo and the others would be hard pressed as it was and I was not going to let them down.

The one fighting me wasn't even close to hitting me but then again he was just some seat less shinigami and I knew my own abilities would get me a seat in any squad. I took him out and another took his place then Kyoraku's energy appeared behind me. I dropped to my knees then shot forward as his blade sliced through the air where my head had been. "Looks like you mean business Kyoraku" I say once more regaining my feet. He stands with his feet shoulder width apart and his blades leveled at me. A cold hard light flickers in his eyes. He has no intention of letting me go this time. But I have no desire to run at all, I will hold him here or die trying. I spin my blades "well come on then old boy. Let's see if I can beat you."

He comes at me and I easily dodge, I am much faster now after all and I can see that he is surprised by this. When one is trying so hard to ignore the feelings in their heart you tend to throw yourself into things. And I had done so and the results were now helping me hurt the one whom I loved. We leap apart and unlike so many times before he is the one with the bruises while I am unscathed. "It looks like the only way you can train is when you fight against the ones who trust you."

His words hurt but I am numb I feel nothing but a vague sense of weariness. So instead I smile "had to do something with my spare time now that you aren't around. Renji has been a good sport about it though he's a very good sparring partner." I can see the effect of my words but I no longer care. He doesn't want me and I will not let my emotions get in the way of anything. Level my blade "you've already met Tadakazu so how about you met Himitsu this time?"

Tadakazu meant unique and Himitsu meant dark. When Tadakazu was called my blades turned gold and silver representing my unique characteristics. It also changed my clothing to lighter colors I guess you could say Tadakazu was my 'good' side. That means Himitsu would be my 'bad' side. So her characteristics were different from her sister's as night was from day. My blades grew longer and sharper, more deadly looking. My newly enhanced speed was put to good use as I felt the power from Himitsu fill me. I had only to hold him and any I could till Ichigo got Rukia away from the others. Looking up at Kyoraku I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I had stayed if I had just turned a blind eye to the plight of strangers if I had just followed orders. I would have been nothing more than a mindless puppet I thought tightening my grip and I would have lost all of my self respect. I face Kyoraku "it is time for this to end I hope you understand your choice" I say before attacking him.

During the battle I felt an immense pressure flare up right on top of Ichigo and his group. Shit I thought dodging an attack from Kyoraku looks like Captain Kenpachi found him. Good luck boy your gonna need it with that man. I am forced to pay attention to the fight when Kyoraku stops for a moment before reciting a poem. "When the Flower Wind Rages, the Flower God Roars, When the Wind of Heaven Rages, the God of the Underworld Sneers."

I know that he has just released his swords. I tense I have never fought against him in this state and I begin to worry that he might get away from me. Of course I don't give a second thought to dying I've been dead since the day he left me. I had heard about these blades how the 'played games' with their master and with their opponents. "Blue" he calls before attacking me not even leaving a mark on my clothing.

Color game this time thought best to cause as much damage as possible. "Black" I call before striking. A large gash appears on his left arm serving to weaken his stronger arm. I dance back as he clutches his arm. "Looks like you caught on so on to the next event."

He disappears into the shadows telling me what game has started. I leap into the air in time to dodge the attack on the shadow beneath me. Kageoni this time, I pull in my shadow creating a smaller target. Closing my eyes I track him using only my ability to sense pressure. Pinpointing his location takes no time at all. Lashing out at him is easier than I thought it would be. I feel Kenpachi's pressure spike. Looks like Ichigo is doing pretty good I thought to get Kenpachi to remove his eye patch. Go get them Ichigo you'll get him yet. I feel pain flash up my spinal column and I return to my battle against Kyoraku. A flash of ugly anger burns my belly and I won't take any more of this idioticness any more. "Tadakazu no himitsu" I growl out.

The feeling of power wraps around and I can all but taste it on my tongue. Fixing my eyes on Kyoraku I know that I will end this now no more screwing around for him or me. As I raise my blades towards the man across from me I feel Ichigo's power change drastically. Turning I see Kyo doing the same. My eyes widened at the feeling of this energy, it felt like Ichigo was a hollow. What in the hell is going on here I asked myself but I didn't find an answer. I didn't even look over at Kyoraku as I began to run in Ichigo's direction. I did however sense him following after me but I didn't care at the moment. We arrived on the hill in time to see Ichigo stop himself from attacking Byakuya.

Ichigo's face was half covered with a mask that looked like a hollows. His eyes had .changed as well, there were no whites where they had been was black now. He pressed his hand to his face ripping off the mask before collapsing to the ground. Ignoring everyone else I moved to his side before kneeling down. I managed to roll him on his back before propping his head up on my lap. Placing my hand on his head I let my healing abilities flow through the man hoping it would be enough to fix his wounds. A swirling of energy causes me to look up. There standing not far from where I am stand Captain Aizen and the captain of the third squad Gin. In front of them are Renji with a small woman in his arms. That must be Rukia I thought. "Abarai set Rukia down and step away."

Slowly I push Ichigo from my lap to the ground before easing to my feet. I make my way towards the men intent on helping in any way I can. I place my hand on Renji's shoulder getting his attention "oh Kagome I didn't see you there."

I turn towards the man across from me his eyes flickering with madness. "Aizen" I say calmly stepping around beside Renji. "From the looks of things you want something. Pray tell what is it?"

He smiles at me "well well Kagome you sound like your interrogating me" he unleashes his energy at me. My knees don't even wobble, its nothing like Kyoraku's I think.

I smile at the mad man before me "just curios that's all no harm intended." I can feel cold sweat rolling down my back and hope no one can see my fear.

Aizen just smiles "give me the girl and I will show you what I am after."

I purse my lips in thought before seeming to come to a decision. I turn and knock Renji back taking Rukia from him. Then carrying the girl I make my way to Aizen. He is smiling thinking he's going to get just what he wants. Not till I get mine. I stop a couple feet in front of the man "if you want the girl I will be getting something out of it as well."

The man chuckles before giving me a lustful look "I always liked a girl who knew what they wanted."

A shudder of disgust travels down my back but he interprets it as desire or at least I hope he does. "I want a place beside you" I say firmly locking eyes with him as I smile coyly.

In an instant he is in front of me Rukia had been maneuvered behind me during this exchange. "You wouldn't stay beside me I would have you under me as well."

I fake another shiver at his words though the only thing I want more is to vomit. Business face I tell myself now sell it. I stretch up on my tiptoes and kiss him hard.
