NOBODY REVIEWED CHAPTER NINE!!! sob sob. boohoo... I've spent the last couple days doing NOTHING but drawing fanart, then when I scanned one of my pictures.. The stupid computer managed to make ichigo's face slanted, so now it doesn't look as good. DANG IT. *sigh* Here's chapter ten, enjoy!!

Ichigo jumped aside, pulling Rukia with him. A huge paw landed right where they had been standing a second before.

"This guy is crazy!!" Enrin yelled. "He's too strong!"

The monster had started by groaning about wanting to go back to sleep, but it eventually stopped whining and began to attack. It swung its huge paws around with huge blows, and the shinigami had to dodge around it. The problem was that the strikes came surprisingly quickly, and they couldn't go on the offensive.

"Izuru! Move!" Rangiku yelled. Izuru jumped out of the way just in time to evade it, but he still got nicked on the shoulder.

"Damn," he said.

"Howl, Zabimaru!" Renji yelled, releasing his shikai. He swung Zabimaru around to the room, and managed to sink the blade into the flesh of the beast. He grinned at his strike.

However, the wound didn't seem faze him at all. He continued to attack with increased vigor. Dodging the dog-beast's attacks became much more difficult as he grew more enraged.

"Lemme alone!" It screamed.

"We'd love to, if you'd just let us by!" Enrin yelled back, but it seemed the beast didn't comprehend what he said.

"Forget it! Just kill him!" Ichigo shouted.

"MUCH easier said than done." Ikkaku muttered as he evaded another attack.

Rukia jumped on the wall and released her Hakuren. The ice surrounded the room, enveloping the beast in its chill. He screamed and broke the crystal ice.

"Go away!" It yelled angrily

"Opening your mouth, not a good idea." Enrin said. He jumped of the wall and launched towards the beast, his arm extended. Enrin thrust his hand into the monster's mouth, sparks of electricity surrounding his arm. As soon as his hand made contact with the side of its jaw, it exploded. Red liquid sprouted from the wound and the dog howled in rage.

"Ha. I got it." Enrin said proudly.

"Yeah right, its gonna take more than that to kill it." Toshiro said to Enrin.

Half of the monster's face was gone, and it thrashed around with even more fury.

"Raise your head, Wabisuke!" Izuru shouted. He struck the limbs three times total.

The monster slumped to the side, growling angrily. Though he was stuck laying on his side, he continued to swing his legs around, causing the group of shinigami to have to dodge the attacks.

"Let's end this!! Getsuga Tenshou!!" Ichigo yelled. His Getsuga sliced through the monster. It gave a last angry howl and fell limp.

"Well, that was easier than I expected." Enrin said happily.

"Whatever." Toshiro said, "Let's go."

Everybody exited the room and went into the next.

Okay, Chapter ten DONE!! please review me! PLZ!!
