...Hehehe.

Sorry, guys! But it was spring break, so I left to my grandpa's farm, and it's...You know, a farm, so there wasn't any internet!

You know what? I'm gonna make it up to you. Get ready, 'cuz it's about to get GOOD. I know it's a bit short, but I have my reasons!

Alright! On with the story!

\(^v^)\

"Yeah! Let's kill them all, Ken-chan!" Yachiru was cheering from somewhere inside the eleventh squad captain's back.

"That's the spirit! Let's show'em all we've got!" I added, getting a look from Tosh.

"This is so not beautiful," Yumichika pouted.

"Whatever. I just hope I get to slice something up," Ikkaku joined, and soon we were all walking through the gate that would lead us to our destiny. Hehe.

We appeared in a lonely town, where there wasn't much activity. Well, except for the three espada crashing and trashing everything around, that is.

"Are those them?" I asked Tosh, who frowned and nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go," Kenpachi growled, and started running towards the espada, with Yachiru cheering behind him.

"Shouldn't we help him?" I pointed at him as I asked Tosh, but Ikkaku answered instead.

"Let him have fun, he'll be alright. Yumichika! Let's target that other espada there," he said, flash-stepping to Yumichika's side.

"Hikari, we will attack the third one," Tosh flash-stepped beside me, and I nodded briefly.

These espada were a real sight to see. The first one, the one Kenpachi and the lieutenant were attacking, was dressed in a fur coat, fur boots, and white loose pants. He looked pretty normal, well except for the fact he had a deep scar running from his shoulder to his hand. He physically looked about 17 or 18, but his hair was grey and so were his eyes.

"What? Are you tha one thaht will fight meh?" he said in a deep British accent as he raised an eyebrow and smiled. He had some perfectly-lined ultra white teeth. He didn't look half bad, for that matter.

"Shut up and let's get to the killing," Kenpachi smiled maniacally as he got his sword out of its sheath.

"Fine by meh," The espada snickered and smiled even wider.

And so they lunged at each other, ready to attack.

"I can see you're ah pahwerful opponent. I won't make you wait, so I'll show you mah resurreccion, but you have to show me yoh bankai, deal?" he said before lashing his blade at Kenpachi.

"What are you talking about, I don't have a bankai," Kenpachi called back, hitting the espada with so much strength he went flying 20 feet in the air.

"My, you certainly ahre strong. Very well, then," the espada said as he got up and got into a fighting stance. "Snarl, Osamayor."

"What?" Kenpachi frowned as the espada's outfit changed. Suddenly, he had a bear's skin on his head, and there were a thousand, no, a million set of claws floating in the air.

"That's right! You made a tehrrible mistake, shinigami. Now you will feel mah power! The power of tha fourth espadah, " the espada chuckled, as he closed one eyes and revealed a 4 painted on his eyelid.

"Listen, I don't care what number is painted on you. I just want to have fun, so shut up and stay still!" Kenpachi smiled and attacked again.

Anyway, the second espada was a big fatty with green ruffled hair. He was dressed in a suit of armor, which by the way made him look like a huge ball of steel, and he had spikes all over his back. Oh, and he was smiling.

"Hehe… Look at the little shinigami. They be so stupid," he said, taking a bite out of heaven knows what.

"Yo! Over here!" Ikkaku waved and smirked.

"What? Do the little shinigami want to fight Dodo?" he asked no one in particular, pointing a finger at himself.

"Yeah, we wanna fight ya!" Ikkaku answered, getting in a fighting stance.

"Where are you? Oh! There you be!" Dodo clapped his hands in delight.

"Yeah, here we be, now can we get to the slicin'?" he crossed his arms over his chest and frowned.

"Hmm… No. Dodo not want to fight."

"What? I came here to kill some espadas, so move it, fatso!" Ikkaku yelled.

Suddenly a huge frown appeared on Dodo's face. "Wha-What did you call me?"

"He said you are not beautiful and you need to lose some pounds," Yumichika rephrased, making the espada get red with anger.

"I won't forgive you! Meet your destiny in hell! Roll and Squash, BoladeMuerte!"

"Now we're talking," Ikkaku smiled as he and Yumichika got ready to fight.

"I be the espada number 6! You will be sorry to have messed with Dodo!" I yelled as he turned into a huge metal ball and started shooting spikes from his back. Yumichika and Ikkaku easily dodged them, but were thrown off balance and almost got squashed by the huge ball of fat and steel rolling towards them.

And so, the third espada, the one we were fighting, was a girl. Yep. She had looong red hair, tanned skin and dark eyes. And by dark I mean black. You know how some eyes sometimes look really dark because of the shade of brown? Well, these were black. Black. Like, you couldn't see where the pupil began and where it ended. Her outfit was a short mini dress. White like all the others, but somehow different. Umm… Maybe because it was burned at the edges of the dress, I don't know.

She sighed. "Hello. My name is Firebell, and these are my companions," she said with a disgusted look. "You see, we are all that's left of the arrancars now adays. We have gathered, and have been assigned new numbers! We shall not show mercy, death god! We are the Fearsome Threesome! Bow before us! BWAHAHAHA!"

"Hey! We didn't come here to chat and have a tea party! We came here to kick your ass, so let's get on with it!" I yelled, getting impatient.

"Sheesh, alright! Pesky little death god," she closed her eyes and smiled. "You two can perform bankai, can't you?"

"Why don't you come here and find out?" Tosh yelled beside me. So I wasn't the only one getting tired of this.

"Jeez, fine," was the last thing she said before she grasped her sword and jumped around to attack us. I noticed on the back of her left leg she had the number 5. Oh, boy.

Tosh and I both turned around to block her attack. He gave me a nod and I flash-stepped behind her to try and cut her back, but she just blocked it and then blocked it again when Tosh tried to cut her.

"Come on, shinigami! What's going on?" she bragged as she sent us flying back about 5 meters.

"Use your shikai!" I heard Inazuma's voice inside my head, as cheerful as ever. Inazuma! You little rascal! You had me so worried! Why didn't you answer when I called you?

"Because it was fun seeing you worried about me!" he responded, and I heard some laughter and a raspberry. Well, whatever.

"Slice, blaze and blind, Inazuma!" my hand started glowing, and Firebell looked at it with interest.

"Reign over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!" Tosh joined in, and a huge smile appeared on Firebell's face.

"Yeah, that's more like it. Now watch and learn, kids," she lunged again, but I blocked the attack with Inazuma, with the lightning bolt wrapped around the blade for support, while Toshiro shot a huge ice wave at her. Her eyes widened for a second, but then she shot fire out of her hand and the wave disappeared. Fire! Aw, craaap! How is Tosh supposed to fight against fire?

"I see I will have to take it to another level with you two," she snickered, "Spark, Bocadragon!"

I looked over at Tosh, who looked back at me and frowned. We would survive, that was for sure. So I jumped up at her, ready to signal Tosh to shoot at her… I don't know, something, but she pointed a finger at me and shot out a flame the size of a school bus. Oh shit, oh shit, oh, shit. Focus. She still didn't know I could whip Inazuma. I sparked up some light between the two blades and then shot a Hagane-no-boruto that literally sliced her attack in two. I looked up just in time to see Tosh slashing his sword at her, throwing a powerful amount of ice blades at her neck. She turned around just in time and, with about three swings of her sword, managed to melt all of them, leaving Tosh with an opening.

"Oh, no, you don't!" I yelled as I whipped Inazuma at her and managed to grab her leg.

"Aaaagh! That hurts, dammit!" she shrieked, and was thrown face-first into the ground, which by the way was about 50 meters from where we were standing… Well, floating.

"Yeah! That's a good start!" I panted and I smiled at Tosh. He looked at me, but he didn't smile back. He had a shoulder wound, but other than that, he was fine.

"Aaaaargh! I'll kill you all!" Firebell screamed from where she had hit the ground. Her eyes were red now, and now she had flames of fire instead of hair. This wasn't looking good at all.

She got up and said, "Shōbō-ha!" as a huge wave of fire was thrown towards us. And it wasn't just fire; it was lava rocks, fumes, and a thousand more things you would only see when a volcano erupted. I was petrified with fear, and all I could think of doing was stand there, close my eyes and yell, "Bankai!"

My left hand burst into a ball of light, and then my bandages were gone, to reveal my huge bankai sign printed on my hand. Suddenly a huge wave of light came out of my zanpakuto as it turned into a lightning blade. The weather suddenly changed, and closed my hands into fists. Now I was ready. I looked over at Tosh, who smirked and murmured, "Bankai" as well.

So, it was pretty obvious if Tosh tried to block that attack, it would only melt, so I gathered up all the energy from the storm I had created and slashed my light blade, creating an enormous attack that wiped out about three buildings. But at least I hit her… Right?

"Looking for me?" someone called behind me, and next thing I know I feel a burning slash on my back and a huge amount of warm blood ooze from it.

"Hikari!" Tosh yelled, attacking Firebell from behind, "Agh!" he swung Hyorinmaru, and a huge ice dragon appeared out of his sword.

Agh! Get a grip! I turned my head to see Hyorinmaru devour Firebell whole, and then disappear into a thousand snowflakes.

Toshiro was panting hard, and he had to kneel to keep from falling.

"Look out!" I got up and signaled with my left hand for a bolt to split the huge red cero Firebell suddenly fired. It worked, but Toshiro still had to block it with one of his wings, making it sizzle and start melting. He barred his teeth and held his arm. That cero had burned him.

"I'm still alive, shinigami!" Firebell was suddenly next to me, and my eyes widened as she took a deep breath and fired a huge flame at my face. I saw Tosh look at me and I blinked twice. I can't believe we actually understood each other that way!

Anyway, so I flash-stepped a meter away and started gathering energy on my left hand. I grasped Inazuma with both hands and started focusing on making a source of energy that would wipe her out for good. While I was doing this, Tosh murmured something I couldn't quite catch, and a big tube of ice spikes suddenly sprung from the ground and momentarily froze Firebell. We both knew she would easily melt it, but what she didn't know was that I was ready to fire as she did.

"Get ready, Hikari. This last attack should finish her off," his words were forced and pained. He had his left arm covering his side, but I couldn't worry about that now, because the energy I was saving was draining all my strength away, and the amount was so large it was burning me.

"That won't be enough to kill me," she called, breaking free of the ice.

"Yeah? Well how about this?" I yelled as I shot the enormous ball or energy. She didn't have time to block or dodge, and she desperately tried to come up with another attack to cancel out mine, but the ice had cooled her off, and her attack wasn't powerful enough.

"T-That should have done it," Toshiro was panting hard.

I was so drained I dropped to my knees and frowned, "Agh! Why now, of all times? I can't even stand up!" I panted as Toshiro came up to me and tried to help me up.

"Don't get cocky with me!" Suddenly a loud laughter was all around us. Firebell had gathered all of her flames into one and was now shooting her biggest attack yet at us.

"Wait… Stay back!" I pushed Toshiro away from me. I rapidly tried to grab Inazuma to block the attack that was headed for me, but I didn't have enough strength to do it quickly enough. The attack didn't burn me, but I was thrown so hard against a wall it cracked in two and I vomited blood.

"Your turn, tough guy," Firebell smiled and swung her sword at Toshiro. He defended himself with an even bigger attack made of ice, but he was only grasping his sword with one hand, since the other was still pushed against his side. His attack didn't melt this time, but it was weakened enough so Firebell was able to break through it and grab Toshiro's throat.

"Get up! They need ya out there!" Inazuma urged inside me. Wait, I'm coming. I-I can't see straight and I'm having trouble breathing!

I looked up and saw Firebell squeezing the life out of Toshiro, who had raised his arms in an attempt to pull away her hands. And then I saw it. The huge slash Toshiro had on his side. It went from his chest all the way to his leg and was dripping-no, CASCADING blood. No wonder! He couldn't fight back with something like that! Why hadn't he told me? He would probably bleed to death before Firebell was done choking him!

"Kght!" Toshiro's eyes were shut tight and his teeth were barred. He was desperately trying to get some air, and I knew I had to get there as soon as possible.

Pull it together! I tried to stand up… but… my legs wouldn't move. I slowly turned around to see them…And they were badly burned. And to top it off I was so drained of my energy I couldn't even breathe right. My vision was furrowing and I felt like I was about to collapse.

Firebell was laughing like a maniac, "You thought you could defeat me? The fifth espada?"

I turned around and looked at the others for help, but Ikkaku was hurt badly and still fighting, Yumichika was on the floor, bleeding and panting hard, and Kenpachi and Yachiru seemed to be having too much fun shredding the life out of their enemy.

"… No other choice, Amaya," Inazuma warned. You're right.

So I closed my eyes, breathed hard and started gathering all my remaining riatsu into my eyes. "Seimei-sen o kyūin suru" I yelled, and opened them.

A/N: In here I change the perspective. Now it will be in third person, alright? :D thx, guys!

Agh! I've got to get out of here! Toshiro thought as Firebell squeezed his neck even tighter. His side wound was cascading blood and he was getting dizzy. He opened his eyes and looked below him. Where was Hikari? Was she okay?

Then he spotted her. Her legs! They were burnt! She couldn't fight like that! He had to go help her, but… Not… now.

"Seimei-sen o kyūin suru!" he heard Hikari yell from below. Wait! Was that…

A sudden ray of blinding light made Firebell let go of Toshiro's neck, and he knelt down, coughing and gasping for air.

"What? What's that?" Firebell turned around, saw the huge wave of light rushing towards her, and screamed as the huge ray ate her up, leaving her with no more riatsu.

"Hikari," Toshiro's call was too chocked to be heard, but he managed to see Amaya turn around and smile.

"How did I do, Tosh?" she called happily, but then suddenly closed her eyes tight and barred her teeth. "Aaack!" Her legs gave from beneath her and she fell to the floor, gasping at the incredible amount of pain that exploded in her brain, making its way to her legs, arms and body. Her legs were on fire and her head wasn't responding.

"Hikari! Hold on!" Toshiro got up with some effort and started making his way down to the building.

"What? You think that little thing was enough to finish me off? I'm the fifth espada Firebell Kobayashi! You cannot defeat me! That attack may have weakened me, but I am not dead yet!" Firebell still managed to get up. What? She… She's still alive? But how?

She flash-stepped to where Hikari was laying grunting on the ground.

"You! You little piece of trash!" she screamed as she grabbed Hikari by her hair. "I won't let you live!"

"I-I don't mind if I live. Just leave m-my friends alone," she managed to whisper between pained gasps.

"Ha!" Firebell yelled as she threw Amaya through a building. She hit the rock hard and fell limply to the floor. "You still think you have a chance?" she said as she grabbed Hikari again. "Don't make me laugh!" she kicked her a few meters away, and then kicked her through another wall.

Toshiro was having trouble breathing and he could feel the blood leaving his body. He stood there, eyes wide with shock. How… How could she… How dare she…

"You like that?" Firebell went on, laughing her head off and punching Amaya on the stomach.

Toshiro closed his hands into fists. How… He closed his eyes. How did she dare… He barred his teeth. I won't let you…

"You… You better stop that," he said, his eyes still closed and his hatred reflecting on every word.

"What? Did you say something?" Firebell smiled and threw Hikari away with a sickening thud.

No, Tosh. I'm fine. Amaya managed to lift her head a little and gaze at her captain. She had to get up! She was only dead weight like this!

"I said," Toshiro's frown deepened and his fists tightened, "that you," his riatsu started rising, "better stop," he went on, barring his teeth, "hurting," his spiritual pressure was so high it was almost at its fullest, "HIKARI!" he yelled, and with that, an unbelievable amount of riatsu started pouring from the little Captain. It was so much it was shooting straight out of his body, making the other shinigami stop and gaze over at the fight.

And then Toshiro opened his eyes. His riatsu was reflected on them, and instead of their usual tuqoise color, they were white and blazing.

"You- How can you of all people," Firebell was stammering.

But then Toshiro swung his sword. It was such an amazing thing to see! It looked as if all the ice from the planet had been gathered into one final death-assuring attack. All Firebell could do was gape at the enormous attack and be sucked into it for good. But not before she yelled some curses and shot from her mouth a needle. It got Toshiro on the arm, but he just tossed it aside like it was nothing.

"My most mighty poison! I will leave your life in its hands now!" Firebell raged as she was sucked into the big, HUGE attack.

I stared at the captain as he shot his most powerful attack I had ever seen. Whoa! Compared to that, I'm just…

I dropped my head. Ow! Agh, now I couldn't even move it. My lungs didn't seem to be working right and my vision was so blurry I hardly even recognized anything.

"That was great, Amaya!" Inazuma yelled from inside my brain. Great, not you again. Wait, what? What do you mean 'great'? All I did was be kicked around!

"That's not true! We kicked that woman's ass! He just finished what you started!" he was laughing now. What was so funny? I felt like smacking my head, but I couldn't even move my fingers. Great.

I opened my eyes with some effort and looked at where the others were fighting. They all seemed to be done! Well, the eleventh squad's Captain seemed to be rather disappointed and was urging the espada to keep fighting, even though it was so obvious he… well, he was dead.

Grunting with the effort, and gasping with the pain, I looked up to where Tosh had been fighting. His bankai had faded and he had dropped his sword.

Way to go, Tosh!

But then I saw him grunt and drop his head. He started falling, ready to hit the ground with a life-ending impact.

Oh no, you don't! You can't die here! I looked down at my legs. I tried to move my arm, but it was broken and lifeless. The only thing I felt in my legs was a stinging pain from the burning and my head hurt like hell. I lifted my other arm, the left one, and punched my legs with all my might. Yep, ya heard me. I punched them.

I yelled and gasped as an explosion of pain suddenly surged from my legs. I wiggled a finger. At least now I could move them.

"Ack!" I flash-stepped to where Toshiro was going to land and jumped to catch him, but his speed was so much I ended up hitting the ground as well.

Damn! Now my legs won't work at all! I looked over at Tosh. His face was losing its color!

"Tosh! Toshiro!" I yelled at him as I held his back, but he was out cold, and even more blood was flowing from his wound. "No! No, Toshiro! Wake up! You can't die! Not like this!" Shit! It must be that venom Firebell injected on him! No! Tosh! Wake up!

And then my blood ran cold. He… He wasn't breating…

"Oh, no…. Nononononooooo," I picked him up and put my head to his chest. His heart was slowing down. "TOSH!" I screamed as I desperately tried to get his heart working again.

Tears were running down my eyes now. If he doesn't wake up… If… he doesn't…

Then I suddenly remembered. As quickly as my destroyed arm would let me, I dug into my kimono pocket and pulled out a little ball wrapped in paper.

"Yes!" I sighed. This could cure it… Right?

"Please, god," I whispered as I unwrapped the ball. Tilted Tosh's head back and pushed the ball down his throat. I watched as the color slowly returned to his face.

I looked down at him. He had his eyes closed and his head back. I frowned and barred my teeth. This was my fault. I should've been able to stand up! UGH!

I ripped a big piece of my kimono sleeve and reached for Toshiro. He grunted a little as I lifted him up and tied the cloth around his stomach. That should help.

Then he opened his eyes. "H-Hikari," he grunted weakly.

"No, no! Don't talk, just stay still right there," I smiled widely as he grunted and sat up.

"Agh," I fell to the floor. Ugh, Stupid Me! My legs still couldn't move and I was panting hard.

"Hikari," Toshiro looked down at me. I smiled when I saw his eyes were as stare-y as ever. And a beautiful shade of turquoise, may I add.

"I just saved your sorry butt," I managed to grunt out. His gaze softened as he helped me sit up. BLEEAGH! THAT HURT SO DAAAMN MUUUUUUUCH!

Tosh put his hand on my arm, and I saw his side wound was still dripping blood. Ugh, why couldn't I at least get one stupid would to stop bleeding?

"We- Ugh!" He tried to stand up, but fell to one knee quickly afterwards.

"Tosh," I called from where I was pathetically laying down beside pieces of broken buildings.

"Yes?" he looked at me.

"I… Can't feel my legs," I said as I frowned when I couldn't wiggle my finger.

"Try moving your arm," Toshiro took it, and frowned when he saw it was broken.

"Uh… I can move the other one," I offered, and then gasped when I realized I couldn't. Two words: Holy. Shit. Well, at least he wasn't badly injured, right?

"Yo! Are we all done? Let's head back!" Kenpachi called as he ever-so-casually picked up his sword and flicked it over his back. "Huh? What's wrong with the girl?"

"Amaya! Hey, are you okay?" Ikakku called from where he was resting. He was all bloody and muddy from his fight, but he could at least stand up, so why couldn't I?

"I'm f-fine," I managed to fumble with my body a little, but my arms or legs wouldn't move, so I at least turned around to face the sky.

"Hikari," Tosh called from beside me again. I gathered up all of my strength to raise up my head and look at him. And my mouth opened up wide. He was such a mess! His kimono was matted with blood and he had cuts all over him! Why hadn't I seen them before?

"Don't look at me like that, you look worse than I do," he said, smiling ever-so-slightly.

Tosh helped me get into a sitting position, and, after vomiting blood, of course (because it's not dramatic enough if I don't, is it?) I was able to breathe a little better.

"Hey, Tosh," I called with a pained voice, but he managed to hear me and turn his head around. "Sorry I was so useless. I guess I wasn't ready, hehe," I tried chuckling, but it came out more like a pained cough. Well, that works too.

"What are you talking about?" he edged closer and I was finally able to see his face. He was starring right at me with a half-smile. "You saved my life. All I did was return the favor."

"Hehe. You're welcome, then."

He might have said something else, but I must have fainted or something. Yet again, I might just have gone blind, since I could still feel Tosh's arms gathering me up and lifting me off the ground. And the last thing I heard was, "I'm just glad you're still alive."
