"Finally! We finished the training!" Rina said as she stretched her arms in the air.
"Thank you for your hard work." Yukina said as she looked at the kids that she finished teaching.
-"Thank you very much, Yukina-sensei."-
"Alright. This also ends our training in kendo." Yuki said as he placed his bokuto down and looked at the group of kids that he taught.
-"Thanks for the help."-
"Now, we'll be able to save our parents." Yukina said as she looked at her twin brother.
"Ah, but we'll be scolded." Yuki said as his zanpakutou, Kanko ( Hail ), materialized beside him. Kanko had the appearance of a boy with blue hair and black highlights and eyes of icy blue. He was wearing light blue yukata with snow pattern. On the shoulders, there were two small armors while on the chest down to the stomach was also another armor that protects his body from attacks.
"Master, we should start our plan." Kanko said.
"Ah, I think that we should. Everyone, are you all ready?"
-"Hai."- The kids said after tightening their sashes and they looked at Yuki and Yukina.
"It's still early and no one might be able to spot us if we'll use the gate to go to wherever those guys are. We'll use that opportunity to look for them."
"Everyone, let's do this with everything that we have." Yukina said as she looked at their companions.
-"Hai!"-
-"Let's go!"- The Hitsugaya twins said as they all went to the Soukyouku Hill. To their suprise, someone was there. Recognizing the owner of the reiatsu, they all looked at her.
"As what I had expected." The person said.
-"Unohana... -taichou..."-
"I figured that you'd do something like this. Your resolve to save your parents are amazing." Unohana said.
"We... couldn't sit idly when we know that they are in the hands of the enemies." Yana said.
-"We have consumed two days to train and we don't know if they're still alright as of now. That's why we'll go to where they are to save them."- Aki and Haru said.
"We're our par ents' children. That's why we inherited their stuborness. Sorry, Unohana-taichou but we must go." Yuki said.
Unohana sighed and smiled at them.
"I believe that I never said anything about stopping you. I'm only here to have some jigokuchous follow you until you reach your destination. Then, these butterflies will return here. Call me immediately if there's anything that I can do." Unohana said as the jigokuchous appeared and flew beside the kids.
-"Unohana-taichou... We'll do that."- The kids said altogether.
"Very well. Be careful." Unohana said as she stepped aside. The kids smiled at her and nodded. They started to walk towards the gate. The jigokuchous followed and the gate slowly closed.

-"What is it that you desire, Keiji-sama?"- Momo and Hana said as they looked at Keiji.
"You two will pretend to be allies of those Shinigami then report things back to us. You two will kill them one by one."
-"Understood."-
"The two of you must start torturing Hitsugaya Toushirou and Shintsuki Keishirou in the most painful way that you can."
-"Hai."
"Go on and return to them." Momo and Hana bowed a little and went to the room where Toushirou and Keishirou were.
"Are you sure that they can be useful to us?" Yuu said.
"They are the most innocent of all the girls that we have been able to capture so far. No one will probably doubt them nor have suspicion in them. Besides, they hold strong bonds to the strong guys in Soul Society and in Hell." Keiji said as he drank wine.
"I understand but with that granted, what about the guys? They would know by now that those two were controlled." Kade said.
"It's alright. They need to suffer the same pain that we suffered."
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Toushirou and Keishirou were both trying to break the chain when Momo and Hana came back. The guys looked at them and saw that the girls' eyes revealed no emotions when they saw them.
-"Momo..."-
-"Hana..."-
"How are you, Shirou-kun?" Hana said as she smiled a little and showed the whip that she was holding.
"Hana... those bastards are controlling you." Keishirou said. Hana started to whip him hard.
"Momo..." Toushirou said as he looked at Momo. She then whipped him too.
The girls whipped them continuously then, Momo started to slow down. Toushirou looked at her even though there's blood running down from his forehead to his eyes. He saw her with tears running down her cheeks.
Hana was the same with Momo. She was also crying even though her eyes didn't reveal any emotion.
The chains on the guys' wrists snapped and they took the girls in their arms. Both were trying to escape from them.
"Momo, stop this. You'll only hurt yourself. I don't want that. Please Momo, stop." Toushirou said.
"Hana, snap out of it. Don't follow their order. Follow your heart. Free yourself from their control over you." Keishirou pleaded.
Eventually, the girls stopped squirming in their arms and cried. The marks faded away slowly.
"Shirou- kun... S-Sorry." Hana said as she looked at Keishirou.
"It's alright. You didn't want to do it."
"I'm sorry... I-I didn't know what got into me and I attacked you..." Momo said as she looked at Toushirou.
"Don't worry about it. Now, their debt is even bigger than before. I'll kill them and I will not leave even a strand of their hair." Toushirou said.
"I'll help you erase those bastards from the face of Soul Society but shouldn't you save your comrades?"
"Ah. Let's go down to the basement." Toushirou and the others then headed down to the basement. Rangiku and the other members of the Gotei 13 were all there, wounded. The only one who was not there was Yamamoto. When they came down, there were 3 clones of Yuu who were guarding the Shinigami.
"We need to distract them to be able to save them." Keishirou said in a whisper.
"I know."
"Master."
After hearing the voice, Toushirou looked behind them and saw Hyourinmaru.
"Hyourinmaru... how were you able to escape from those who captured you?"
"The zanpakutou, Musubu, who caught us and imprisoned us, weakened. I was not the only one who was able to escape when they captured you and locked us all." Hyourinmaru said as the others also came out. Tobiume, Atsusa and Shimo were all able to escape.
Atsusa had the appearance of a red haired, onyx-eyed teenager wearing a top of white turtle necked shirt while his bottom was brown hakama. Shimo on the other hand had the appearance of a green haired, brown-eyed teenager wearing a black kimono with rose design.
"Hana-sama, we can distract them for you to be able to start your plan on saving them." Shimo said.
"Shimo..."
"Alright. All four of you will distract them when we save our comrades." Keishirou said and the three zanpakutou nodded.
Hyourinmaru started to make the air chilly, then cold enough to freeze the chains. Atsusa then summoned flame underneath the ground where the clones of Yuu were standing. Shimo then used her water illusion to alter the water attribute of the clones and made them evaporate.
Toushirou, Momo, Keishirou and Hana broke the chains on the Shinigami and freed them.
Rangiku and the others were seriously wounded. Byakuya, to their surprise, was fatally hurt as well as Hisana. Kenpachi was also seriously wounded.
"We need to heal them."
"Orihime-san is also injured. We'll have a hard time in healing them." Tobiume said.
-"We'll help you."-
Toushirou and the others turned around and saw Amane with the other guardians of Kagerozutsumi.
"Yukimori-hime-sama and Shintsuki-ouji-sama, we're here to help you." Amane said as she bowed before them.
"Amane-san, thank you."
"You're welcome. Hikaru, Hikari. Can you heal them all?" Amane said as she looked at a girl with orange hair and yellow eyes as well as another girl with yellow hair and orange eyes. They are Akiko Hikaru and Hikari.
-"Hai."- They then pulled out their zanpakutous.
"Awaken, Yukito." Hikaru said.
"Shine, Natsume." Hikari said.
Their zanpakutous were just like them. Opposite in appearance. Yukito has snowy white hair while Natsume has raven black hair. Yukito's eyes were blue while Natsume's were green. The yukata that Yukito was wearing was black while Natsume's was white.
-"Heal them."-
Yukito and Natsume nodded. They lifted their hands and a glittering wind came from their palms. The wind was directed to those who were hurt then, slowly, their wounds got healed. Rangiku and the others woke up.
"Taichou! Long time no see!" Rangiku said as she looked at Toushirou.
"Baka. It's not the time for that. Those Hakuryuu are going to make a rebellion towards Soul Society and the worse, the Gensei can be affected as well."
"How long were we unconscious?" Komamura said.
"Perhaps for a week or two. The time here moves faster than the normal one. I guess in Soul Society, we're only gone for a day or two. In this place, a week or two." Toushirou said.
"I understand. We need to move quickly and crush them to pieces!" Zaraki said.
"Aye, aye, Sir!" Yachiru said.
"Wait, where's Yamamoto-oji-sama?" Hana said.
"I didn't sense his reiatsu anywhere. Akegata Amane, where are Shimazaka Ryuuou and Nishikado Haruna?"
"Ryuuou-kun and Haruna-san searched for Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni-dono."
A blonde blue eyed guy and blonde green eyed girl came. Both were wearing Chinese clothes with zanpakutous on their waists.
"We didn't find Yamamoto-dono anywhere." Ryuuou said.
"We didn't even feel his presence." Haruna said.
"I see. Amane-san, if all of the 13 guardians of Kagerozutsumi are here, may I ask on who is guarding it right now?" Hana said.
"I asked-"
"She asked Tatsuya-nii-chan to guard it!" A child's voice answered.
"Tatsuya-san?"
"Akiko!" Amane said.
"You really asked him to, saying that he need to do it as punishment for not telling you that he'll be going on a mission last time!" Nakamori Akiko said.
"Well, he deserves to be punished."
"Thank you for healing me." Orihime said.
"It's nothing." Hikari said.
"Ano... Toushirou-kun and Momo-chan... are they your twins?" Orihime said as Toushirou and Momo looked at her.
"They're not our twins. They are from Hell. The Prince of Hell, Shintsuki Keishirou and his fiancee Yukimori Hana." Toushirou said.
"Ah! I see. Eh!? From Hell?!" Orihime exclaimed.
"Ah, we're from Hell. I was captured by those bastards even before they launched an attack in Soul Society." Keishirou explained.
"Oh, I understand."
"Amane-san, everyone's healed." Hikari said.
"Alright. I think that it would be better if we'll all make a plan." Amane said while the others nodded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are we there yet?" Haru said while running.
"Shut up and run faster." Yuki said.
"Yuki-nii-chan, you really shouldn't be that harsh to Haru-kun." Yukina said while Yuki looked at her then looked away.
"Yukina-san, how long are we supposed to run in order for us to reach the exit?" Mira asked while looking at the walls of the tunnel.
"I don't know. Although, Mom once said that there are times that the distance depends on where we're going. I guess that this is the short-cut."
"Short-cut? Ain't this the long-cut?" Rina said.
"I guess that Dad's used to this kind of passage for him to travel in both worlds." Mizuka said.
"Yeah, I think so too. I think that we must get used to this for the rest of our lives." Zui said.
"Guys, we're getting near." Aki said.
A few minutes later, they got out from the tunnel. The moment that they saw the unfamiliar place infront of them, their hearts started to beat a little faster, their guards were up and their swords were ready. They knew that in Ten No Suna, their lives are placed on the line and the war of the four worlds will start.
