Chapter 9

Kenpachi growled as he took a swing of his sword at the teal-haired guy. He had felt Yachiru's reiatsu flared wildly a moment ago. He was cursing under his breath as the man named Joe dodged and blocked his attack. He and Byakuya had been fighting the two offending males neck and neck. Though he wanted to fight the guy, he was distracted when he felt Yachiru's reiatsu weakened.

Byakuya on the other hand remained stoic but inside he was thoroughly worried for Renji and Rukia. Their reiatsu had flared a while ago but weakened after a while. This is not good. The others haven't arrived here yet because the enemies' reiatsu was still hidden. He flared his reiatsu in signals hoping for someone to catch on as he fights the guy named Cirrious.

A tall brown-haired man appeared instantly on a roof. Cirrious backed off away from Byakuya, Joe doing the same. Byakuya's eyes widened when the figure jumped down from the roof.

"Let's go, before the other shinigamis come."

Joe grinned at the tall man. "Is that him? I thought it was a boy?"

"Idiot, the boy is there in the shinigami…didn't you listened to the order?" Cirrious answered as he remained expressionless still observing the shinigami's movement. "'che!"

Byakuya shunpo'ed to where the tall man was, but he was blocked by the teal-haired man. "What do you want with him?" he asked.

"None of your business."

"It is my business you're holding to my fukotaicho." Byakuya narrowed his eyes.

Kenpachi growled menacingly. "What did you do to her?"

The brown-haired man looked at the 11th captain. "Who? Oh, the ones that is with this man? I dispatched them." Kenpachi's reiatsu flared wildly as he heard him said those words. Byakuya doing the same as his sister was with the redhead as well.

Joe looked up ahead. "Yo, Stan…better get out of here now or do it because I can hear some shinigami's on their way here." Stan nodded. Joe and Cirrious kneeled and formed a barrier. The other captains arrived at the scene. Some captains and lieutenants gave a surprised look when they saw the three men standing inside the barrier, getting the same reactions as Rukia and Renji gave a while ago.

"Break the barrier!" Captain Soi-fon yelled.

As the shinigamis tried to break the barrier with futile attempt, Stan lifted the redhead by his neck earning a gasp from him. He held out a small red stone in his hand in front of the redhead's chest as it glowed. He slowly pulled it away inch by inch.

Renji screamed at the intense pain. 'It hurts! Damn it!' he thought as he let out a loud scream. It's like he's pulling something from me. And then it hit him. They're here for REN! He could now hear the boy. He was also screaming.

'NO! I don't….want…to!' Renji heard Ren yelled out. These guys might want the boy out of him but they're not getting him if he doesn't want to!

Renji tried to keep the boy in as he felt him being pulled out. Renji gritted his teeth. No way they're getting him!

Stan looked at the redhead who stopped screaming suddenly.

"Give it up."

"N…NO!"

"Hn…" Stan narrowed his eyes staring at the redhead's determined eyes. He continued pulling.

Renji's consciousness was slowly slipping out from the pain. 'Damn it!'

OoOoOoO

Something inside of him snapped when he heard the pained scream of the redhead. Byakuya held no time to think of what to do.

"Scatter, Senbonsakura"

The sword scattered into a million petals and surrounds the barrier. Byakuya's determined to break through the force. The barrier slightly cracked as the petals repeatedly surrounded the barrier.

"Yo, Stan! Finish it already! The man's petals are cutting through the barrier."

Stan continued pulling but the redhead fights. He had short patience, this is getting annoying. Cirrious noticed the change on the brown-haired man's features. "STAN!"

All of it happened at once. Byakuya's petals penetrated the barrier as it shatters. There was a blinding light for a moment as everyone watches the scene. Byakuya's petals came back to Byakuya as Senbonsakura formed into its original form. They all so a flash or orange and violet that had come through after Senbonsakura break through the barrier.

Ichigo stood behind Cirrious with Zangetsu at the man's neck while Yoruichi held Joe with his hand behind his back. Stan's wrist was caught in a grip by the black-haired man standing beside him as he let go of the redhead's when the man gripped him tightly. Renji came down with a thump, unconscious.

The red stone still held in his hand dropped down as the black-haired man slapped it away. It broke and the red glow disappeared. Byakuya felt Renji's reiatsu came back to normal after the stone cracked. That must be the reason why he felt the redhead's reiatsu disturbed a while ago. He flash stepped towards the redhead checking his condition.

"I never would have thought that you will show yourself this early, Jino…" Stan said to the black-haired man. Jino remained silent and held the wrist tightly. He glanced down on the redhead lying on the floor, while keeping an eye out at the brown-haired man in case he does something.

"Heh~ So Jino came back?" Joe said with a smirk like he wasn't being held down by a woman. "So, what do we do now?"

"We escape..." Ichigo's eyes widened as Cirrious, the one who looked like Ulqiuorra answered Joe who looked like Grimmjow. "…of course."

He hasn't had the time to react as Cirroius showed a speed no one could have possibly seen. Ichigo cursed. Joe back-headed Yoruichi when the woman was distracted. Stan held Jino's stare for a moment as he snatched his wrist away and backed off. The three men jumped to the roof.

"We'll be back…" Stan said as the three of them took off.

"Chase after them!" Soi-fon commanded to her ninjas.

Jino looked at the direction they took off knowing the shinigamis can't chase after them, the words ringing in his mind.

OoOoOoO
